11: Chapter 11 Taking Down Senior Brother! Junior Sister's Foundation Establishment Gift?

Nighttime.

The stone door burst open with a boom, and a surge of pure Foundation Establishment Aura rushed out.

Zhang Hongling walked out, her eyes steady and confident.

She had succeeded! Perfect Foundation Establishment!

The effect of the Foundation Establishment Medicinal Pill was incredible.

Her Heart Demon had just begun to emerge when it was suppressed by the second Medicinal Pill, and the Medicinal Pill for solidifying her Realm made her Foundation incredibly solid.

Ecstasy flooded her heart, but the first person she thought of was Senior Brother Duan Gujin.

Having just stabilized her Realm, she transformed into a stream of light and rushed toward Senior Brother's small courtyard with great haste, her speed faster and her Aura more potent than ever.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother! I succeeded!"

Before she even arrived, her voice, filled with vitality, reached him first.

She rushed into the small courtyard, a brilliant smile on her face, her eyes shining with startling brightness.

Duan Gujin was leaning on a rattan chair; seeing Zhang Hongling had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment, joy erupted in his eyes.

"Good! That's wonderful! Junior Sister, congratulations! You have forged a perfect Foundation, your future is limitless!"

"It was all thanks to Senior Brother's Medicinal Pill!" Zhang Hongling rushed to the rattan chair, so excited she almost grabbed Duan Gujin's hand, but she stopped abruptly and blushed.

She remembered the promise of becoming Dao Companions before her closed-door cultivation and her own affirmative 'hmm'.

The joy of the Breakthrough and her current shyness made her heart race.

She took a deep breath and stared intently at Duan Gujin, carrying both the confidence of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and the anticipation of a young girl.

"Senior Brother! Hongling has not failed your expectations! Now that I have successfully achieved Foundation Establishment, Senior Brother, if there is anything you want to do, just tell me directly!"

Duan Gujin smiled slightly: "Junior Sister, I only need you to remember the promise that once I achieve Foundation Establishment, you will become my Dao Companion!"

Zhang Hongling's heart skipped a beat.

Senior Brother's words were like sparks splashing into a pan of oil.

She looked into Duan Gujin's earnest eyes and nodded vigorously, her voice both solemn and sweet: "Rest assured, Senior Brother, Hongling will never forget! Not a single word!"

With a thought, she caused the courtyard gate to creak and shut automatically.

Only the two of them remained in the room, and the air seemed to heat up a few degrees.

She took a step forward, almost pressing against the edge of the rattan chair, the crisp, fresh energy and vitality of her recent Foundation Establishment rushing directly toward Duan Gujin.

She said with a hint of smugness: "Senior Brother, I have achieved Foundation Establishment! There is no need to worry about so much anymore! Senior Brother, let me assist you in your cultivation!"

She led him to the bed.

Then, she pushed him onto the bed.

In a moment, amorous sounds drifted from the room.

— — — — — — — — — —

Half an hour later.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully bringing Zhang Hongling's Submission level to 100!]

[Triggered 10,000x Return, the Host has obtained one Endless Life Divine Pill.]

(Endless Life Divine Pill: Contains powerful vitality, can accelerate the recovery of the Physical Body from injuries, accelerate the recovery of cultivation, and grant one tenacious life force.)

[Congratulations to the Host, from now on, the rewards the Host receives from Zhang Hongling will reach 2 times the original amount!]

[System Prompt: The Host is the first to successfully bring a target character's Submission level to 100; the System allows the Host to obtain a 100x Return function one more time today.]

Woohoo!

This is simply wonderful!

Duan Gujin was overcome with wild joy internally.

Looking at Zhang Hongling in his arms, her eyes shimmering and full of charm, the sense of accomplishment and desire for control in his heart reached its Peak.

A 100% Submission level meant that the System rewards obtained from her in the future would double!

This was simply incredibly good news.

His thoughts raced as he decided to immediately test the effect of this doubling.

At the same time, it was time to give this newly ascended Foundation Establishment Dao Companion, who was absolutely loyal to him, a little treat to solidify this relationship.

Duan Gujin immediately said: "Junior Sister, since you have achieved Foundation Establishment, you should have a Spirit Treasure or Sharp Weapon that matches your status to protect yourself. Senior Brother will gift you a congratulatory present."

He submerged his thoughts into the exchange mall and, without hesitation, exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Realm Spirit Treasure.

[Ding! Consumed 180,000 Spirit Stones, exchanged for the top-grade Foundation Establishment Realm Spirit Treasure, Flowing Cloud Pure Heart Sword!]

A spirit sword with a slender body like a willow, its entire form flowing with faint cloud patterns and water-colored radiance, appeared out of thin air, hovering in front of Duan Gujin.

The blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, the hilt was warm and moist like jade, and it emitted a crisp and sharp Aura.

It was a top-grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Treasure that was extremely suitable for a woman to use and possessed impressive power.

"Senior Brother, this, this is too valuable!"

Zhang Hongling's beautiful eyes widened, looking at the clearly expensive spirit sword before her, her heart filled with both emotion and surprise.

She knew how precious a top-grade Foundation Establishment Realm Spirit Treasure was.

Even among the inner Sect elite, only a very small number of people could possess a top-grade Foundation Establishment Realm Spirit Treasure.

Senior Brother had truly poured everything into her!

Duan Gujin gently pushed the Flowing Cloud Pure Heart Sword toward Zhang Hongling, "Between you and me, why speak of value!"

"Take it, try it and see if it fits your hand. This sword is named Flowing Cloud Pure Heart, and it matches your temperament perfectly; it will help you stand out in the upcoming Sect grand competition."

Zhang Hongling carefully took the spirit sword.

The moment her fingertips touched the hilt, a warm and moist spiritual power created a marvelous resonance with her newly established Foundation, as if this sword was born to belong to her.

The gratitude and attachment she felt for Duan Gujin in her heart were about to overflow, and at the same time, her heart of submission became even more firm.

Senior Brother not only gave her the hope and resources for a Breakthrough, but even paved the road after Foundation Establishment so thoroughly for her.

Just as Zhang Hongling was stroking the sword body, unable to put it down, and feeling its spirituality, the System prompt sounded in Duan Gujin's mind.

[Ding! The System has detected that the Host has gifted the bound target Zhang Hongling (Submission level 100%) the top-grade Foundation Establishment Realm Spirit Treasure, Flowing Cloud Pure Heart Sword!]

[Triggered 200x Return!]

[Congratulations to the Host, obtained Instant Tribulation Light (Pseudo Divine Weapon)! The reward has been distributed to the System space!]

Instant Tribulation Light (Pseudo Divine Weapon): A sword of destruction that pursues extreme speed and instantaneous burst power.

With a flash of sword light, like the first ray of tribulation light when the Universe first opened, it was faster than perception, its destructive power concentrated at a single point.

An instant of eternity, severing all things.

Boom!

Duan Gujin only felt a huge sense of happiness instantly overwhelm his mind!

This sudden, overwhelming fortune was even more intense than he had anticipated!

His heart beat wildly, almost leaping out of his throat, and blood rushed to the top of his head, making his cheeks burn and his breathing quicken.

All his previous investments had received returns beyond imagination at this very moment!

He looked at Zhang Hongling's stunningly beautiful face, and a surge of heroic spirit filled his heart.

He knew that now, with Zhang Hongling as a Treasure Trove with 100% Submission, his road to the Peak in the future would have no more obstacles!

He could even plan more perfectly and become even more powerful!

Duan Gujin pulled Zhang Hongling closer, pressing his forehead against hers: "Hongling, remember, you are my person. Your Foundation Establishment is just the beginning. Soon, Senior Brother will also achieve Foundation Establishment! With you and me as Dao Companions of one heart, I will do my utmost to help you climb to an even higher Peak!"

Feeling the powerful confidence and unquestionable possessiveness radiating from Duan Gujin, Zhang Hongling's heart trembled, and immediately, an equally strong sense of belonging surged up.

She squeezed Duan Gujin's hand firmly in return, her eyes filled with absolute trust and submission.

"Hongling understands! Everything Hongling has belongs to Senior Brother!"

"Hongling will always stand by Senior Brother's side and assist Senior Brother in ascending the Dao!"

Duan Gujin continued: "Hongling, then from now on, come to me here at night!"

Zhang Hongling felt that Senior Brother's words were like a small hook, hooking her heart so it pounded, making her legs go a bit weak.

"Come to me here at night" — the meaning was too clear, dragging her straight back from the excitement of her successful Foundation Establishment into the fiery mortal world.

The intensity of their Divine Soul fusion from just a moment ago hadn't even faded yet, and with such a straightforward sentence, her face and neck turned completely red at once.
