28: Chapter 28 Breaking Through the Defenses of a Core Formation Realm Person

Ye Changge was stunned, his mood instantly becoming complicated.

Although he did not know the exact cultivation level of the other party, being able to suppress him, a Late Stage of Qi Refining Cultivator, to the point of being unable to move meant she was at least a powerful expert in the Core Formation Stage.

"At the very least, I am a man who has broken the defenses of a Core Formation Cultivator; it's not a loss!"

He comforted himself, finding joy in his misery, his mind feeling somewhat dazed.

Staring at that pool of blood, an absurd thought suddenly popped into his mind:

"This is the… essence blood of a Core Formation Cultivator! Could it be a powerful tonic?"

Although he wouldn't actually do anything with it, but…

"It should be fine to feed it to Xiao Jin, right? It is a Second-Tier Spirit Bird; it can digest it!"

He was just letting his imagination run wild.

"You're awake?"

A cold and majestic female voice suddenly came from above.

Ye Changge's body stiffened, and he looked up abruptly.

There was still no one around.

At the same time.

In mid-air.

Meng Qingcheng was dressed in a pristine white dress, her hair pinned up in a high bun, her face stunningly beautiful and icy.

Her entire being radiated an awe-inspiring, inviolable aura.

Below, Ye Changge's heart skipped a beat, his survival instinct instantly maxed out.

He hurriedly bowed and saluted, his tone respectful.

"Senior, these past few days… this Junior has offended you greatly!"

Although what he was thinking in his heart was entirely another matter.

Meng Qingcheng's Divine Sense in mid-air fell coldly upon him.

Seeing his pale complexion and the way he couldn't even straighten his back.

A trace of guilt flashed through her heart extremely quickly.

But it was quickly suppressed by her majesty.

She herself found it a bit strange.

If it were an ordinary man, even if he had just glanced at her, she might have casually wiped him out.

Yet, having experienced such things with this person.

She actually couldn't bring herself to feel much resentment.

Was he just pleasant to look at? Or was it some charm technique?

But as a Core Formation True Person, Meng Qingcheng understood that there was no charm technique involved.

She frowned slightly, pushed down her distracting thoughts, and said coldly to the person below:

"I have placed some items in your Storage Pouch as compensation."

"I do not wish for a third person to know about today's events!"

Ye Changge hurriedly nodded: "Understood, understood! This Junior would never dare to speak a word of this!"

Seeing this, Meng Qingcheng sighed softly.

What a pity.

The trace of "Spirit Rhinoceros Phoenix Cry Origin" within her body had now been given to him.

If the other party had a Spiritual Root of Grade Four or higher.

She might have considered taking him back to the Sect and giving him a chance.

After he reached the Core Formation Stage, they could use this Origin for Dual Cultivation, and there was even a possibility for both of them to explore the Nascent Soul path together.

But… "A Grade Six Spiritual Root; there is no hope for Core Formation."

She sighed lightly in her heart, not thinking about it anymore.

With a wave of her fair hand, a stream of light flew toward Ye Changge in the cave below.

Ye Changge caught it subconsciously, and in his hand was a warm, white jade token.

The front was engraved with cloud patterns.

"Take this." Meng Qingcheng's voice remained cold.

"If you are fortunate enough to reach the Core Formation Stage in the future, you may use this token to find me."

"I might… be able to give you a chance."

Having said that, she did not linger any longer, her figure transforming into a stream of light as she departed.

Ye Changge held the token, which still carried her lingering warmth, and stood there blankly for quite a while.

Only after a long time passed without any movement did he let out a long sigh of relief.

"She finally left…"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, finally having the presence of mind to check his Storage Pouch.

Probing inside with his Divine Sense, Ye Changge's eyes widened immediately.

"Hiss!"

An exquisite purple sandalwood box.

The box was only the size of a palm, yet it emitted fluctuations of Spiritual Qi.

He carefully opened the lid.

In an instant, a medicinal fragrance wafted out!

Inside the box lay two Medicinal Pills the size of longans, presenting a perfect amber color.

On the surface of the pills, there were naturally formed, cloud-like pill patterns.

foundation establishment pill!

Ye Changge's heart shook violently!

He would absolutely not mistake them.

This appearance was exactly the same as the records about the foundation establishment pill he had seen in books before!

Moreover, this quality… these pill patterns…

"Top-Grade foundation establishment pill? And two of them?!"

Ye Changge gasped.

The foundation establishment pill was a strategic resource under strict control.

The main medicinal ingredients for refining it could only be obtained in a Secret Realm.

Ordinary Loose Cultivators found it difficult to even obtain a Low Grade foundation establishment pill.

A Medium Grade one was enough to make small and medium-sized Families fight tooth and nail for it.

And a High Grade foundation establishment pill was often sold only as the finale at major auctions.

That "Fairy Senior" had actually given him two Top-Grade foundation establishment pills just like that?!

This level of generosity… Ye Changge swallowed hard.

This was definitely not an ordinary Core Formation True Person.

It was highly likely she was a high-ranking core figure from one of the three major Sects.

Besides the Medicinal Pills, there were also several items shining with spiritual light placed to the side.

Although Ye Changge could not name them all.

But he was one hundred percent certain that these were all foundation establishment spiritual items.

"This lady… she's actually quite nice."

Ye Changge stroked his chin.

"If I am 'fortunate enough' to reach the Core Formation Stage, right?"

Ye Changge recalled the words left by that cold voice.

"Fine, one day, I will not only reach the Core Formation Stage, but I will also bring you home in style to have children!"

After fantasizing about his future "revenge" plan.

Ye Changge collected his thoughts.

He prepared to meditate to recover from the "depletion" of the past few days, and then quickly head home.

He sat cross-legged and habitually began to circulate the Jade Purity Beauty Cultivation Art.

As soon as the Cultivation Technique began to circulate.

Ye Changge discovered something was wrong.

Inside his Dantian, the originally calm sea of Spiritual Qi seemed to have had a huge boulder thrown into it, suddenly boiling over!

"This… this is…"

Late Stage of Qi Refining Great Perfection!

He had actually skipped over the eighth layer of Qi Refining.

Stepping in one leap into the final stage of the Qi Refining period.

The Great Perfection realm!

He was truly only one step away from Foundation Establishment!

"Dual Cultivation has this benefit?"

Ye Changge was both shocked and delighted, but immediately shook his head.

"No, it must be because that Senior's cultivation level was too high."

He carefully sensed it, and sure enough, at the very center of his Dantian's Spiritual Qi vortex, he discovered a trace of strange Spiritual Qi emitting a faint cyan-gold light.

"What is this thing?"

"I can't figure it out for now, so I'll ignore it for the time being."

Anyway, it seemed to be a good thing for now.

Ye Changge stood up.

Feeling much better.

Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, and finally carefully took out a jade bottle.

Using his Spiritual Qi, he scooped up the spot of blood along with a small piece of soil beneath it, put it inside, and sealed it.

"It is, after all, the essence blood of a Core Formation True Person; who knows if it might be useful in the future? Leaving it for Xiao Jin to nourish its body is also good…"

Ye Changge explained to himself, putting the jade bottle away solemnly.

After doing all this, he released Xiao Jin from the Beast Taming Pouch.

It must have been placed in the pouch by that Core Formation female Cultivator for the past few days.

As soon as it came out, it aggrievedly rubbed against Ye Changge.

Ye Changge soothed it well.

"Alright, alright, we are going home immediately; we will eat once we get home."

After mounting Xiao Jin, he headed towards the direction of Biluo Lake.

A few days later.

Ye Changge returned home without any further incidents.

"Husband!"

"Young Master!"

A bunch of beauties immediately surrounded Ye Changge upon seeing him return.

"Husband, why does your face look a bit pale?"

A few observant wives noticed something was wrong with Ye Changge and asked.

To this, Ye Changge could only smile bitterly and say.

"It's from the journey."
