99: Tianzhu Sect, the younger generation Wang Wu! (Please read)

Not long after.

Outside the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall in the Eastern Suburb Ward.

In a secluded alley, several streets away.

A young man, seemingly in his twenties, emerged. He wore a blue robe, and his face showed signs of travel, giving the impression of someone who had rushed here from afar.

This young man’s cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

“From now on, I am Wang Wu.”

Shi Chuan, using the concealment of the Spiritual Body Embryo along with his disguise technique, had transformed into a descendant of the Wang Clan mentioned in the intelligence.

The Tianzhu Sect, a Foundation Establishment force in Xi Kang Ward, once owed Wang Wu’s ancestor a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item. Now, Wang Wu had long since died elsewhere, and the intelligence indicated that Shi Chuan could impersonate Wang Wu to obtain the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item.

The two Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Tianzhu Sect had both made Heavenly Dao Oaths. Only the direct Bloodline of the Wang Clan knew about this matter, so it could not be faked.

Moreover, Xi Kang Ward was also within the Inner City.

In the past few days, Shi Chuan had also learned about the strength of Tianzhu Sect. It had four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, which was considered an upper-middle tier among the Foundation Establishment forces in the Inner City.

The Family also had a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Old Ancestor, who was well-known within the Immortal City and possessed a considerable amount of assets in the city.

As for how to prove the identity of a descendant of the Wang Clan, simply stating it would suffice, as the other party was bound by a Heavenly Dao Oath.

Obtaining an extra Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item would increase the chance of the Law Seed, condensed during the Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, advancing to High Grade.

If the Law Seeds condensed during the Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage were all High Grade Law Seeds, then the success rate of Core Formation could exceed ninety percent. With two more Core Formation Spiritual Items, it would definitely be ninety-nine percent.

If Core Formation was achieved, the Core Formation quality had a chance of reaching Golden Core.

...

The scorching sun hung high.

After entering the Inner City.

Two majestic peaks were visibly towering within the city, standing in harmony with each other.

On the thousand-zhang peaks, two Core Formation Cultivators of the city were stationed.

Qing Yue and Northern Mystery Peak Peaks were both Third-Tier Spiritual Veins.

The place for renting Immortal Caves in the city was at the corners at the foot of their two peaks.

Any Foundation Establishment Cultivator who could gain the appreciation of one of the two Core Formation Cultivators could be listed under their name, becoming a Guest Elder of the Immortal City. This would allow them to reside on Qing Yue and Northern Mystery Peak Peaks, becoming Guest Elders under their respective Core Formation Old Ancestors.

Thus, they would be able to enjoy the Cultivation environment of a Third-Tier Spiritual Vein, receive monthly offerings from the Immortal City, and establish their own Cultivator Family forces within the Immortal City.

The Foundation Establishment Elders listed under each peak also directly obeyed their respective Core Formation Old Ancestors.

Shi Chuan headed directly to the Tianzhu Sect’sstation in Xi Kang Ward.

Most of Tianzhu Sect’s Cultivators were in Five Elements Immortal City, while some were on Tianzhu Mountain outside the city, occupying a Second-Tier Low Grade Spiritual Vein. Tianzhu Mountain was rich in Heavenly Sound Spiritual Bamboo, which could be used to refine Magical Artifacts and was the Tianzhu Sect’s main source of Spirit Stone income.

Shi Chuan arrived at the Tianzhu Sect, looking travel-worn.

He informed the guards outside the gate of his purpose.

The guard, half-believing, took the Jade Slip Shi Chuan handed over. This matter involved a Foundation Establishment Cultivator within the Family, and he figured a Cultivator at only the fourth level of Qi Refining wouldn't dare to scheme against a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The guard entered the mansion gate.

About a hundred breaths later.

A pot-bellied, bald, black-robed Elder, walking with a brisk pace, came out. When he saw Shi Chuan, he sized him up.

“May I ask your name, virtuous nephew?”

This black-robed Elder exuded a faint Foundation Establishment pressure, indicating he was a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator.

“To answer Senior, this Junior’s name is Wang Wu!”

Shi Chuan politely cupped his hands in greeting.

“The place where my Family resided was occupied by demons. Most of the Family’s Disciples perished under the demons’ claws, and only I managed to escape by chance. My ancestor once said…”

Shi Chuan spoke several paragraphs fluently, his tone filled with sorrow and helplessness.

“Alas.”

“Our Tianzhu Sect also received news of this matter. Your ancestor once provided assistance to our Tianzhu Sect, and we owe your Wang Clan a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item.”

“Our Tianzhu Sect naturally acknowledges this. Since you, virtuous nephew, have come to this Five Elements Immortal City, why not stay within our Tianzhu Sect? It would also allow me, as an Elder, to fulfill my duties as a host.”

Zhu Nanjiang said in a gentle tone.

Only a few people knew about this matter. Since the other party brought it up and all the information matched, the several members of their Tianzhu Sect had all made Heavenly Dao Oaths with the Sect and themselves.

However, although the matter was acknowledged, Foundation Establishment Spiritual Items varied in quality.

Now that the Wang Clan had only this sole descendant left, what was there to fear? If he could be recruited into the Tianzhu Sect, even if the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item was given to him, there would be no harm.

As long as this Wang Wu stayed within the Sect for a few more years, had children, he would naturally be tied to their Tianzhu Sect.

“Good, this Junior is willing to join the Tianzhu Sect and wholeheartedly serve the Family from now on.”

“Now, this Junior is alone and helpless, without reliance. I am willing to make a Heavenly Dao Oath in the name of Wang Wu, to join the Tianzhu Sect without regret. Even if I Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in the future, I am willing to guard Tianzhu.”

Shi Chuan’s tone was firm and powerful, and on his weathered face, a deep weariness could be seen.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Nanjiang felt quite satisfied in his heart.

He was a sensible person.

Since that was the case, he could give Wang Wu a normal Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item. The Family’s treasury happened to have three Foundation Establishment Spiritual Items, one of which had been contaminated by demonic Qi, becoming a half-Waste Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item.

Although it still had some effect, under the influence of the demonic Qi, once consumed, the demonic Qi would erupt from within the body, easily leading to an explosion of the body and death.

“This item is a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item for the Dharma Power stage. You are still young and able to Cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining. You will definitely have a chance to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in the future; you must seize it well.”

Zhu Nanjiang took out a five-colored Jade Bead from his Storage Pouch. The Jade Bead was the size of a pigeon’s egg, with a smooth, glazed surface. Inside, a five-colored swirling Qi could be seen slowly circulating.

‘A Second-Tier quality Five Elements Pearl.’

Upon seeing the Spiritual Pearl, Shi Chuan’s face lit up with joy, and he was quite satisfied in his heart.

The goal had been achieved.

This was not a shoddy Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item.

It seemed his performance had pleased this Foundation Establishment Cultivator of Tianzhu Sect.

Shi Chuan carefully took the Spiritual Pearl, pretending to be very cautious, and placed it into his Storage Pouch.

“Hahaha, virtuous nephew, welcome home! Tonight, we will hold a banquet to welcome you.”

“At that time, your Wang Clan ancestor provided assistance, and everyone in our Tianzhu Sect was very grateful.”

“Virtuous nephew, from now on, you can Cultivate peacefully within the Tianzhu Sect. Moreover, there are many talented female Disciples in our Family. Perhaps you can find a good match and leave an heir for your Wang Clan.”

Zhu Nanjiang said with a smiling face.

However, in his heart, he was already calculating. If this Wang Wu was unlucky, suffered a Qi Deviation during Cultivation, or encountered Rogue Cultivators outside the city, and couldn’t use the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item, he would still take it back.

If he dared to play tricks with him, there would only be a dead end.

A mere small Cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining was easy to control. A Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item was not so easy to digest.
