Chapter 84 The Foundation Establishment of a Demonic Cultivator

In the East Sea Islands, blood-red dark energy swirled around an Immortal Cave on a small island.

"Husband, this Infusion Foundation Establishment is truly overbearing; the methods of Demonic Path Cultivators are indeed profound!"

"Indeed, I've re-cultivated back to Foundation Establishment. This Blood Spirit power used up quite a lot!"

Both of them wore a jade ring on their fingers, from which Blood Spirit power was slowly being released.

"My lady, it is said that Infusion Foundation Establishment has sequelae, but this Blood Spirit power happens to offset those side effects."

"Yes, this Blood Spirit Jade Ring is simply a treasure for the path of demonic cultivation."

"There is still some Devilish Qi left on this island. Let's Breakthrough again and strive to reach the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment through infusion."

"Alright."

If one didn't see them in person, hearing them call each other 'husband' and 'wife' would make it impossible to guess they were both men.

Inside the Immortal Cave were none other than the possessed Luo Sheng and the An Family Head.

The two who had fled from the Southern Border to the East Sea years ago had switched to the Demonic Path during these years. They originally wanted to Cultivate Righteous Path Golden Core techniques, but they found that as long as they cultivated those techniques, the feeling of their Divine Souls being stripped away grew stronger. Having no choice, they could only follow the path of the Demonic Path cultivation system.

They had killed many people over the years and had been hunted by many as well; this infusion method was something they had plundered.

Once they discovered the Blood Spirit Jade Ring could offset the infusion method's side effects, they fully turned to demonic cultivation. They dispersed the Spiritual Qi in their bodies and re-cultivated Devilish Qi from the Qi Refining First Layer. As long as Devilish Qi resources appeared, they would directly use infusion, facing no Bottlenecks.

A lot of Devilish Qi was required for Foundation Establishment. They had searched for several years before finally finding this sea island. The Devilish Qi resources weren't massive, but they were sufficient for Foundation Establishment!

They killed the Demonic Path Cultivators who had arrived first and directly seized the place for their Foundation Establishment.

Several months later, the Devilish Qi on the island was exhausted, and both had successfully reached the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment through infusion. By this time, the Blood Spirit Qi was nearly depleted.

To offset the side effects of the infusion, a large amount of Blood Spirit Qi was consumed every day.

This jade ring was very picky about collecting Blood Spirit Qi. When using the Spirit Devouring Great Art, Mortals couldn't be used, and Cultivators who cultivated Devilish Qi couldn't be used; only Cultivators who cultivated Spiritual Qi were viable. Thus, they often went to the Southern Border territories to capture people.

In the Cultivator territories to the east of the Southern Border, these two were wanted by almost every Sect in the vicinity!

"Husband, I heard that the Righteous and Demonic Paths are preparing for a great war. The East Sea demonic Cultivators have an infiltration and destruction plan. Why don't we also infiltrate deep into the Southern Border? Many nearby Sects want us dead."

Luo Sheng pondered and said, "That is our only option."

Luo Sheng recalled the time they were hunted in the Nanwu Kingdom. During that period, they had thrown away almost all of their fourth and fifth-grade Magical Artifacts. Even now, his teeth itched with hatred.

...

At the Taihu Mountain Range, Beast Hunting Sect, on a mountain peak, two people were conversing.

"Jin Yue, this is the new batch of refined foundation establishment human pellets, twenty in total."

Gui Qiutang floated twenty bottles of Medicinal Pills out of his Storage Pouch, one pill per bottle.

Jin Yue took them and cupped his hands, saying, "Many thanks, Pavilion Master Gui. I see your cultivation has become increasingly refined over these years. You must be nearing the Late Golden Core Stage, right? I am truly envious!"

Pavilion Master Gui smiled and said, "I'm far behind your Hall Master. The Grand Elder intends for him to condense a Nascent Soul within a hundred years. We in the Alchemy Pavilion all know this, so the pill resources have all been tilted toward him!"

Jin Yue said helplessly, "I can't compare to you people with such excellent Comprehension Ability and Heavenly Spiritual Roots. Why is the gap so huge after reaching the Golden Core? Sigh!"

"Haha, I see your cultivation has also improved quite a bit. After consuming this batch of foundation establishment human pellets, I expect you'll have hope for the Middle Stage Golden Core!"

"Many thanks for your kind words, Pavilion Master Gui."

Gui Qiutang changed the subject, saying, "You should also prepare the next batch of Foundation Establishment materials, especially young Foundation Establishment ones. The medicinal power of those old ones is a bit low."

Jin Yue remained relaxed and said, "Cooperating with Yao Beasts probably won't work anymore. Aren't the demonic Cultivators doing some infiltration thing now? Well then, I'll be a demonic Cultivator!"

The two looked at each other and laughed heartily.

...

Time flowed on; spring passed, and spring returned.

At Black Magpie Mountain, everything was as usual during this year.

Chen Songyan had long since emerged from secluded meditation. He was now properly at the Seventh Level of Qi Refining, a Late Stage Qi Refining cultivation.

He had spent five months swallowing over eighty bottles of qi overflowing pills, slowly piling up his cultivation.

Outside the gate, another batch of ten-year-old children arrived. Chen Songyan went out to conduct the testing.

Quite a few had come this time, over fifty children. Chen Songyan slowly descended on his flying sword, causing the group to bow one after another, not daring to look up at him.

"Greetings to the Immortal Master of the Chen Family!"

Dozens of people bowed in salute. Chen Songyan said expressionlessly, "Step forward one by one. Those with Spiritual Roots will stand behind me later."

Chen Songyan tested them one by one...

On the third floor of the Formation Comprehensive Building, inside a room, Chen Songli had consumed over a dozen bottles of vitality replenishing pills and finally inscribed a fourth-grade defensive Formation pattern!

After spending several months completing her comprehension, Chen Li told her that inscribing a Fourth-grade Formation Pattern with a Mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation would be very taxing on her spiritual power; she had finally experienced it. Now at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, it took her several months to inscribe this fourth-grade pattern.

Chen Songli was very happy; she could now be considered a fourth-rank Formation Master! At eighteen years old!

Chen Songli planned for herself that the next step was to raise her cultivation to the Late Stage Qi Refining. She prepared to enter secluded meditation to Breakthrough after the festival!

Chen Songli went to the early warning hall on the second floor. The Formation's large screen displayed a real-time image of Chen Songyan testing the Spiritual Roots of the crowd under the spirit jujube tree.

At the same time, she cast a Dharma Art onto a control lever labeled 'Qingfeng Mountain'.

The image switched to the outskirts of Qingfeng Mountain, though the Formation's signal transmission was a bit unstable; this was also something that needed improvement next.

Next to it was another control lever labeled 'Release Puppet Attack'. She and Chen Songxuan had worked hard for three months to integrate the Puppets into the early warning Formation, finally adding this function. With just a single Dharma Art, the Puppets arranged in the mountain would immediately deploy and launch an attack at the enemy.

Besides these, there were many other control levers, such as 'Spirit Trapping Formation Activate', 'Illusion Formation Activate', 'Attack Formation Activate', and so on.

...

In the artifact refining room, Chen Songxiao had just produced a blade from his workbench that integrated the attributes of flame, thunder, and poison gas.

Its shape resembled a Tang Dao but also didn't. Chen Songxiao had refined for a year, wasting countless blades and thinking of countless schemes, starting over from scratch every time. Despite his young age, he had lost quite a lot of hair.

Finally, heaven did not fail this clumsy bird; after a year, he had finally refined the handy blade he had envisioned.

He named it the 'three absolutes disaster severing blade', a genuine fourth-grade Magical Artifact!

Inside Concentric Heart Hall, Chen Songxuan watched as a small-scale change in Spiritual Qi surged into the room where Chen Songmei was practicing the Qi Guiding Art, and he sighed with emotion!

"The Aptitude of a Dual Spiritual Root is truly formidable! To succeed in guiding Qi in just one year!"

Chen Songmei had reached the Qi Refining First Layer!

Chen Songmei had grown quite a bit taller this year. The seven-year-old child ran out excitedly and said, "Third Brother, I succeeded!"
