As it turned out, Lu Wenyuan's luck was not bad.
It was unlikely that every time they went to a place, the immortal sects there would immediately start a war between the righteous and the evil …
He had done so much preparation work in advance, and it was worth it.
Now that he was ranked twentieth in the competition, the Foundation-Building Pill was firmly in his hands.
After obtaining the Foundation Building Pill, Lu Wenyuan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately announced that he would go into seclusion.
His aptitude could not be said to be bad. Thus, after taking two Foundation Establishment Pills, he successfully liquified the transcendence energy in his Dantian and advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, extending his lifespan to 200 years!
After another period of Closed Door Meditation to consolidate his foundation, Lu Wenyuan leisurely came out of Closed Door Meditation. He first went to the Sect Master to register and report, received the various benefits for Foundation Building disciples, and changed his identity token.
Then, he went to the Mission Hall to issue a mission, asking a few outer sect disciples to bring the news of his successful foundation building and a letter to the Grand Pure Lu Clan.
This was to allow the Lu Clan to borrow his' influence 'as a Foundation Building cultivator of Pill Cauldron Gate. That way, they would be able to face the pressure from the other two clans more easily.
Moreover, he also promised in the letter that he would try his best to get a Foundation Establishment Pill for the clan.
After finishing these things, Lu Wenyuan felt refreshed. His family's shackles were also greatly reduced, and it would no longer be an obstacle in his cultivation.
"Finally … Foundation Establishment is successful. Henceforth, a Core Formation with a lifespan of five hundred years is my next goal!"
…
On this day.
In Lu Wenyuan's new cave abode.
A raging flame burned at the bottom of a pill furnace, and a large amount of pill Qi was emitted.
Lu Wenyuan sat cross-legged in front of the pill furnace, his brows slightly furrowed as he adjusted the fire.
Swoosh!
Right at this moment, a voice transmission talisman flew in.
He furrowed his brows and immediately ignored it. He continued to harmonize the dragon and tiger, neutralizing the medicinal effects, and opened the furnace to retrieve the pills …
"A low-grade second-stage Dragon Ginseng Pill is quite effective for early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to improve their transcendence energy, but its effect is reduced by half for mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators …"
Lu Wenyuan tasted the pill, nodded, and put away the pill furnace. Only then did he pick up the sound transmitting talisman, and his expression became a little strange. "It's her?!"
After some thought, he straightened his clothes and walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave, on a flying boat, there were a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.
One of them was a woman wearing a cyan silk dress. Her skin was like jade, and she was radiant. "Is this Junior Martial Brother Lu who has just successfully built his foundation?"
"I'm Lu Wenyuan. Greetings, Senior Sister Dongfang Qing and Senior Brother Wang Qiao!"
Lu Wenyuan bowed slightly.
Dongfang Qing returned the greeting, while Wang Qiao snorted coldly, "Junior Brother Lu sure has a bad temper. How dare you make me wait for so long!"
"I was in the middle of refining pills just now, so I couldn't get away. Please forgive me!"
Lu Wenyuan glanced at Wang Qiao. This cultivator, who was said to have a precious body, looked very ordinary. He had triangular eyes and an upturned nose … Among cultivators, it was rare to see someone so uniquely ugly.
Moreover, he'd faintly heard that this person had fallen in love with Dongfang Qing at first sight and seemed to want to become Dao Companions with her, but Dongfang Qing had never agreed.
In the eyes of busybodies, it was like a toad lusting after swan meat.
"Taking me as a love rival for no reason, how troublesome!"
"Beautiful women … are more troublesome!"
Lu Wenyuan was depressed. He cupped his fists and asked, "Senior Sister, why are you looking for me?"
"After we become Foundation Establishment Cultivators, we usually have to travel far away. I've only recently found out that Junior Brother has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Why don't we go together?" Dongfang Qing asked with a smile.
"No, I want to stay in the safety of the sect and cultivate to the Golden Core Stage!"
Lu Wenyuan rolled his eyes in his heart. He knew that this Senior Sister Dongfang had been forced into a corner by Wang Qiao. She probably couldn't get rid of the sticky candy, so she could only find a few more third wheels.
However, he didn't have the consciousness of being a shield for others, so he immediately rejected, "Senior Sister, I don't want to travel far away!"
"Hmph, this is the rule of the Danding Sect. Are you going to resist?" Wang Qiao snorted coldly.
"I really don't want to do this task!"
Lu Wenyuan nodded. "As far as I know, there's a rule in the sect that Grade 2 Alchemists don't have to take on dangerous tasks. Even if it's a compulsory task for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it can be replaced by refining pills."
After all, they were important production talents. If they were sent to travel and fight, what would happen if they died?
Cultivating a Grade 2 Alchemist was definitely more expensive than cultivating ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
"Grade 2? Junior Brother, are you already a Grade 2 Alchemist? "
Dongfang Qing's eyes lit up.
"After reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, I've gained something. I'll apply for the test another day …"
Lu Wenyuan said, "So, please forgive me for not being able to accept your request."
After that, he ignored Dongfang Qing's expression and directly returned to the cave abode.
"Senior Sister, this kid doesn't know how to appreciate favors and is as timid as a mouse. Let's go find someone else!"
When Wang Qiao saw that Lu Wenyuan was sensible enough to back down, he became very happy.
Besides, he wasn't stupid. For the Danding Sect, a Grade 2 Alchemist was definitely more valuable than him.
Besides, Lu Wenyuan had people behind him.
If he got into a conflict with Lu Wenyuan, he might be the one to suffer in the end!
"Fine …"
Dongfang Qing sighed regretfully and drove the spiritual boat in another direction.
…
I'll go take the exam for the Grade 2 Alchemist. At this stage, I can make elixirs that can increase the cultivation strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and I'll be a treasure in the Danding Sect. I don't have to worry about my safety, and I can focus on cultivation. At most, I'll make some elixirs for the faction occasionally …
Lu Wenyuan already had a plan.
As for the traveling task, it was mainly to increase his knowledge, find opportunities, and increase his experience in fights of spiritual spells.
He knew that he had already grasped the biggest opportunity, and he couldn't be greedy. Besides, he had experienced many big events when he was young, and he didn't lack in mentality. As for fights of spiritual spells? Even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators couldn't withstand his talisman bombardment, not to mention that he could retrieve more and stronger items after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.
As long as he was equipped, he was confident that he could protect himself in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
As for the last problem, it was the state of mind and inner demons during the Core Formation Realm.
Lu Wenyuan had considered this. First of all, the state of mind during the Core Formation Realm wasn't too difficult, and he could handle it.
In fact, he didn't need to worry about inner demons before reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.
As for the real problems, there were ways to deal with them.
For example, the secret elixir of the Danding Sect, Demon Conquering Elixir, had the supreme effect of removing inner demons, and it was widely believed that it could increase one's chances of reaching the Core Formation Realm.
This elixir had reached the supreme-grade of Grade 3, and it required a 1,000-year-old spiritual herb. It wasn't something that he could make right now, and it wasn't something that most Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could think of.
However, he could use his connections to participate in the Elixir Gathering of the Golden Core Realm masters, and he could take the opportunity to get his hands on it.
The resources of the Danding Sect were enough for him to cultivate to the Core Formation Realm, and he would have to go out and search for opportunities to condense the Nascent Soul.
