5: Are there insect eggs in the foundation-building pill?

[ "How could it be her?" ]

[ Looking at the familiar figure in the crowd, your body suddenly shudders. ]

[ You are more than familiar with that figure; the Demonic Path woman you encountered when first doing a mission in the Qin State was her, and the one you saw in the back mountain last time was also her. ]

[ You didn't expect to meet her again in the Alchemy Hall this time! ]

[ At this moment, a man beside you sneered and said, "Kid, if you want to die, take a few more looks. Ye Chuxue is someone you can never hope to reach!" ]

[ Facing the mockery, you knew the gap in your strength and chose to endure it for the time being, but you silently remembered this name in your heart — Ye Chuxue. ]

[ Looking at Ye Chuxue, who appeared safe and sound on the surface, you knew in your heart that she was merely holding back right now. ]

[ You calculated the time, figuring it was roughly around this recent period that she would go to the back mountain, though you forgot the exact day. ]

[ After finishing your Cultivate, you returned to your Immortal Cave, secretly thinking in your heart that over the next few nights, you would go to the back mountain to stalk this so-called Senior Sister of yours. ]

[ Seeing that the sky had darkened, you resolutely walked towards the back mountain. Arriving at the place where you remembered seeing Ye Chuxue, you decided to stake out again. ]

[ Waiting like this until dawn, you still didn't see Ye Chuxue's figure. ]

[ Having no other choice, you continued to the school to learn Alchemy knowledge, but with your talent as an Alchemy prodigy, you had already mastered all of this within the very first year. ]

[ The reason you were willing to be an Alchemy boy was entirely for the Pill Formula; otherwise, relying on your own money to buy it, you wouldn't know when you'd ever earn enough Spirit Stone. ]

[ It wasn't as fast as directly sneaking into the Alchemy Hall to learn it secretly. ]

[ Soon a day passed, and taking advantage of the night, you went to the old spot in the back mountain to stake out again, but unfortunately, you came up empty-handed once more tonight. ]

[ For seven consecutive days, you failed to stake out Ye Chuxue, which caused you to doubt yourself, wondering if your memory had deviated. ]

[ Therefore, you decided that if you still couldn't stake out Ye Chuxue tonight, you would temporarily call it quits! ]

[ At the dead of night, you suddenly sensed a trace of a very covert movement coming from around you. ]

[ Seeing this, you raised your spirits to the highest alert, and sure enough, you saw a familiar figure appear in your sight. ]

[ "Ye Chuxue, you really did come!" ]

[ Although you waited for her, you didn't choose to step out immediately; instead, you hid in the dark and continued to observe! ]

[ You saw that Ye Chuxue seemed to Cultivate some special Cultivation Technique, using the extreme yin power of the moon to Cultivate. ]

[ At this time, you looked up and realized that tonight was the night of the full moon, and you suddenly understood why Ye Chuxue came today because it was the full moon night. ]

[ And she was using the extreme yin power to recover from her injuries. ]

[ Seeing this, you understood a few things. Just as you were preparing to go back, you accidentally stepped on something, making a slight sound. ]

[ Even though the sound was very tiny, in this uninhabited and silent back mountain, it was still clearly heard by Ye Chuxue. ]

[ "Who is it!" ]

[ Ye Chuxue quickly locked onto your location, but you didn't panic. Last time you were also discovered in the exact same position, but the other party didn't chase after you. ]

[ Therefore, you leisurely prepared to evacuate, but just as you turned around to leave, an exquisitely beautiful face appeared before your eyes. ]

[ Looking at Ye Chuxue's icy face, you subconsciously swallowed hard. ]

[ "It's you? Why are you here?" ]

[ Ye Chuxue recognized you, and she was very curious why you, in the Qi Training Stage, would appear here. ]

[ You opened your mouth to explain that you encountered a Bottleneck while trying to Cultivate, so you came out to clear your mind. ]

[ However, Ye Chuxue didn't believe a single word you said: "Who comes to the back mountain in the middle of the night to clear their mind? And did you discover something?" ]

[ Speaking of this, you clearly felt the murderous intent emanating from Ye Chuxue! ]

[ You hurriedly explained: "No, no, I didn't see anything!" ]

[ Unfortunately, Ye Chuxue clearly didn't believe you. She raised her hand to pinch your neck and said coldly, "Since you've discovered my identity, you can only die!" ]

[ At this moment, your brain was spinning at high speed; you clearly hadn't discovered anything, yet Ye Chuxue actually wanted to kill you. ]

[ Could it be that Ye Chuxue was already a person of the Demonic Path? Was she a spy lurking in the Azure Cloud Sect? ]

[ Having figured all this out, you once again recalled the scene you encountered the first time in the Qin State and shouted loudly: "I have awakened!" ]

[ With a thud, Ye Chuxue shook off her hand in shock and threw you to the ground. ]

[ "What did you say?" ]

[ Feeling that you could breathe again, you hurriedly said: "I have awakened, so I haven't done Foundation Establishment yet!" ]

[ At this time, although you didn't know anything, at least what you learned from that Demonic Path Disciple allowed you to temporarily escape a calamity! ]

[ The next second, you found yourself grabbed by the neck by Ye Chuxue and lifted up again. ]

[ "Do you think I'm a fool? I've never seen anyone in the Qi Training Stage awaken!" ]

[ Seeing that the strength in Ye Chuxue's hands was growing larger and larger, you forced a few words out of your mouth with effort. ]

[ "I really... have awakened, Foundation... Foundation Establishment will kill you!" ]

[ The next second, Ye Chuxue's hand left your neck, and she frowned and asked in disbelief. ]

[ "Impossible. From ancient times to the present, no one has ever awakened in the Qi Refinement Stage. How did you do it?" ]

[ Seeing this, naturally you wouldn't tell her about having the simulator; you could only say that recently when you tried to Breakthrough, you always failed, and often dreamed that you would die once you Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. ]

[ What you didn't expect was that Ye Chuxue actually believed the reason you gave. ]

[ Watching this, Su Ming's mouth twitched slightly; he hadn't expected the other party to believe such a ridiculous reason. ]

[ But just now, seeing Ye Chuxue say that no one had ever awakened in the Qi Training Stage, why did that Demonic Path Disciple previously say not to do Foundation Establishment before awakening! ]

[ This was clearly contradictory. ]

[ "The Qi Training Stage cannot awaken, and one cannot Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment before awakening." ]

[ Therefore, during the previous simulation, that person just wanted to use these words to tell Su Ming — do not do Foundation Establishment! ]

[ After figuring all this out, Su Ming continued to cast his gaze into the simulator. ]

[ Seeing that you had awakened, Ye Chuxue's tone also softened a bit, and she invited you to join the Demonic Path. ]

[ Seeing this situation, you had no choice but to agree. Afterwards, you began to ask Ye Chuxue why Foundation Establishment would cause death, telling her that although that was just your dream, you always had a bad premonition! ]

[ Seeing this, Ye Chuxue opened her mouth to explain to you: What you dreamed is a fact; you will indeed die after Foundation Establishment, but if you awaken, you can temporarily avoid death. ]

[ Upon receiving Ye Chuxue's reply, your pupils trembled slightly, and immediately afterwards, you began to ask why this would happen! ]

[ Ye Chuxue knew that you had awakened before doing Foundation Establishment, so you didn't understand many things, and thus began to explain to you! ]

[ "The reason why Foundation Establishment causes death is because there are insect eggs in the Foundation Establishment Pill!" ]
