Luo Chen’s eyes lit up.
“Who?”
“LiYixian!”
Nangong Jin slowly enunciated each syllable.
“LiYixian?”
Murmuring the name to himself, Luo Chen thought of the Foundation
Establishment Female Cultivator whose true face he had never seen.
The meeting with Nangong Jin only lasted until evening. Luo Chen then excused himself, claiming he needed to stabilize his realm through Closed – Door Cultivation.
Before Nangong Jin left, Luo Chen informed him that the Foundation Establishment Ceremony would take place in three days and that he must attend.
Nangong Jin agreed and said he would definitely help Luo Chen get in touch with Li Yixian.
As for whether or not it would be successful depended on the price Luo Chen was willing to pay and Li Yixian’s personal wishes.
After Nangong Jin left, a figure dragging a chain and carrying two large jugs of wine came up the mountain.
“Drinking wine is indeed better than tea!”
With friends, Luo Chen didn’t feel restrained.
He no longer looked like the noble and wise man he was in the afternoon. Instead, he lay lazily on the chair, watching the shifting clouds outside the mountain and the birds returning to their nests.
Wang Yuan lifts his gourd.
“Congratulations!”
“Heh heh, same to you!”
Luo Chen picked up his gourd and clinked it with Wang Yuan’s.
The ‘same to you’ in his words was not without reason.
With his current perception, he could clearly sense Wang Yuan’s state.
The Spirit Power Fluctuation was no longer fluctuating drastically but had stabilized at the Qi Refinement Finalization stage.
Although it still hadn’t reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, at least in combat, he could exhibit stable power.
“By the way, now that you’ve reached the Qi Refinement Finalization, Brother Wang, you should be able to try Pill Foundation Establishment!”
However, faced with this suggestion, Wang Yuan shook his head.
He put down his wine gourd and sighed.
“Once you start on the Path of Blood Foundation Establishment, there’s no turning back.”
Luo Chen was taken aback, “Do you have no other options?”
“Mmhmm, and I only have two opportunities left.”
Upon hearing this, the conversation fell into a momentary silence.
The method Luo Chen was referring to was obviously the Evil Qi Spirit Snatching Array that Wang Yuan had fused with before.
With it, he could reach the sky in one step and successfully establish the Foundation.

However, this technique had significant drawbacks. The first failure caused severe after-effects.
On the surface, Wang Yuan seemed to be in good shape now, but the chain running through his body indicated that his actual condition was not that great.
The Soul Stabilization Oath had only helped him adhere to his true intentions, preventing him from being disturbed by the remnants of Duan Qiankun’s soul.
To solve this problem, successful Foundation Establishment was necessary.
Furthermore, the Evil Qi Spirit Snatching Array only provided three opportunities.
Wang Yuan had already failed once, so if he couldn’t succeed in the following two attempts…
“You could say, taking the shortcut always comes with risks.”
Wang Yuan calmly stated.
Looking at Luo Chen, whose body bristled with sharp edges, and whose Spirit Power was occasionally rippling, he advised, “You mustn’t repeat my mistake. Every step you take must be firm and steadfast!”
Luo Chen nodded earnestly.
He understood this principle all too well.
Wang Yuan had failed in trying to take a shortcut, and wasn’t Luo Chen’s path, relying heavily on consuming large amounts of elixirs, saving himself decades of hard cultivation, another kind of shortcut?
The consequence was the Pill Poison Barrier that still lingered outside his Dantian.
Before resolving this dormant threat, he dared not carelessly consume any more elixirs.
Moreover, the most pressing issue wasn’t to accelerate cultivation, but to solidify his realm and cultivation level.
“I will go into Closed-Door Cultivation for a while after the Foundation Establishment Ceremony to stabilize my realm.”
“During this time, Brother Wang, could you keep an eye on the Luo Tian Creed for me?”
Wang Yuan naturally didn’t refuse. After all, it made sense, and besides, such trivial matters would not disturb him.
With Sima Huiniang and Murong, Gu Caiyi, and others, he only needed to act like a Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, deterring those around him.
Plus, the Luo Tian Creed didn’t only rely on him for stabilization now!
Luo Chen—a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!
This title, once spoken, had significant prestige.
“Aren’t you going to meet with Qin Liangchen and the others?”
Luo Chen shook his head, “It’s not time yet, I can’t leave the Green Reed House these days.”
Oh, of course!
Wang Yuan noticed that Luo Chen’s condition didn’t seem good.
He definitely needed to stabilize his realm.
In light of this, Wang Yuan didn’t bother Luo Chen any further. After a brief chat, he leisurely descended the mountain.
Watching Wang Yuan’s figure gradually disappearing into the darkness, Luo Chen sighed softly.
Perhaps these past few years had been a rare time of Purification for Wang Yuan.
During their conversation, Wang Yuan had lost much of his former enthusiasm, becoming remarkably calm and composed.
After Wang Yuan left,
Luo Chen didn’t go into the house but instead closed his eyes, facing the mountain breeze.
His primary focus was his Dantian.
The newly constructed Dantian was ten times larger than before!
Layer upon layer, as if it was divided into levels.
It was no longer apt to call it a Dantian.
According to the scriptures, at this stage it should be referred to as the “Sea of Qi”.
When the Dantian transforms into a sea, it can contain all rivers.
The Nine Heavens of the Sea of Qi, each level is a new challenge.
If you can finalize all nine levels, you will condense a Golden Core. This is where the term Golden Core Period originates.
So, just like the Qi Refinement Stage, the Foundation Establishment Stage is also divided into nine levels.
These levels are divided into three phases: initial, middle, and final, based on the numbers three, six, nine.
For now, all these are not critically important.
What Luo Chen cares about is his current state.
After Foundation Establishment succeeded, the newly constructed Dao Foundation was extremely stable!
Luo Chen didn’t know about the Dao Foundations of others, but for himself, to achieve Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization purely through hard cultivation would take at least a few hundred, if not a thousand years!
This was just a rough estimate.
Since he didn’t have a Natal Qi Technique, he could only rely on refining the internal Spirit Power with the finalized Longevity Technique.
At the bottom of the Sea of Qi, there was a thin layer of Spirit Liquid.
