109: Chapter 109 Foundation Building

Sect Leader Wu Yin was actively recuperating in the Sect Head's Secret Chamber, while Elder Qian Yunchang lay on his bed, enduring the agony of his Lifespan rapidly slipping away.

Wang Xinhao was an honest man, tending to him daily.

Deacon Qin Wen was busy with Sect affairs and did not visit often.

Among the Inner Sect Disciples, only two or three would appear before him; the others all made excuses that they had been severely affected during Jia Tianru's attack and needed to rest.

Elder Qian Yunchang did not wish for anyone to disturb him; he only wanted to spend his final days in peace.

Five days later, Sect Leader Wu Yin felt that everything was prepared and resolutely consumed the taisui evil pill.

This pill contained a massive amount of True Qi, but it also contained deadly poison.

The toxic Qi stimulated the Dantian meridians, using poison to combat poison, triggering an explosion of the Dantian.

Sect Leader Wu Yin used his inner vision to monitor his Dantian and internal organs, watching as the taisui evil pill successfully settled into his internal organs and then violently released True Qi.

Sect Leader Wu Yin needed to guide a portion of the True Qi into his Dantian to perform forceful compression.

If the Dantian was strong enough, it would form a droplet of water.

This would mean the Foundation Establishment was successful.

If the compression failed, the True Qi would dissipate, requiring it to be compressed again.

The taisui evil pill contained an immense amount of True Qi, and the amount released each time was terrifying; the Dantian could not contain it all at once, so it had to be guided, but it could not be allowed to leak from the nine orifices; instead, it had to be made to flow along the meridians.

A wisp of True Qi entered the Dantian, to no avail, and dissipated.

He guided another wisp.

Thus, it went on in a continuous cycle.

This process was extremely arduous and required a powerful physique.

Regardless of the stage, the earlier one achieved a Breakthrough, the better.

The Lifespan of the Qi Refining Realm was only about a hundred years; the closer one was to the limit of their Lifespan, the worse their physique would be, and the more difficult Foundation Establishment would become.

But no one was willing to give up the opportunity for Foundation Establishment.

As long as they hadn't closed their eyes for the last time, no matter how bitter or exhausting it was, they could endure it.

After consuming the taisui evil pill, this path was one of no return; one could not give up halfway.

Guiding a massive amount of True Qi into the meridians required intense focus.

Locking the True Qi in the Dantian for refinement required even more focus.

This trial was on the brink of death.

Three full hours passed without any progress.

The True Qi from the taisui evil pill was almost depleted.

Sect Leader Wu Yin knew that for this taisui evil pill, his century of reputation had been ruined, and the image of a Sect Head he had cultivated for years no longer held any dignity.

If he failed, he would certainly not be able to continue as Sect Head, and he might even Face retaliation, living like a dog in the Sect from then on.

Thinking of this, he had to grit his teeth even harder.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared at his Dantian.

Taking a closer look, a tiny, round droplet of water was rolling in his Dantian.

His entire Dantian suddenly emitted a golden radiance.

"I succeeded!" Sect Leader Wu Yin was overcome with excitement.

The True Qi from the taisui evil pill suddenly turned and surged into the Dantian, nourishing it while merging with the droplet.

What couldn't be contained before was now absorbed dry by the Dantian.

A sound of bells, drums, and jade chimes inexplicably echoed around him, causing the door of the Sect Head's Secret Chamber to vibrate and hum.

Sect Leader Wu Yin calmly withdrew his power, solidifying his Dantian.

Elder Qian Yunchang, lying on his bed, was suddenly startled; hearing the waves of pleasant sounds from outside, he felt as if a piece of his heart had been gouged out for no reason.

Wang Xinhao ran in hurriedly.

"What happened?" Elder Qian Yunchang had a sliver of an ominous premonition.

"An omen, an omen!" Wang Xinhao said in terror. "An omen coming from the Sect Head's direction."

Elder Qian Yunchang stared blankly, and after a long while, a sigh of grief escaped his throat: "Sect Leader Wu Yin has achieved Foundation Establishment!"

Tears streamed down uncontrollably.

"I have worked hard all my life, only to become a stepping stone for this hypocrite!"

He slammed his hands against the bed frame.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes back, kicked his legs, and actually died.

"Elder..."

Wang Xinhao shouted in grief and indignation, his Face also streaming with tears.

At the very moment Sect Leader Wu Yin achieved Foundation Establishment, Elder Qian Yunchang breathed his last.

Carrying a heart full of resentment.

One man's joy is another man's sorrow.

Within a radius of several tens of miles of the Chiyan Sect, all Disciples sensed the intense omen.

They swarmed toward the Sect Head's Secret Chamber; before Sect Leader Wu Yin had even come out, everyone waited at the door, craning their necks in anticipation.

Elder Liu and the others had not yet recovered from their sudden defeat a few days ago, but upon sensing the omen occurring within the Sect, they immediately knew what had happened.

Each of their Faces was ashen, and they scrambled over in a panic.

When Sect Leader Wu Yin walked out of the Sect Head's Secret Chamber, the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers, celebrating the first time in hundreds of years that the Chiyan Sect possessed a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"We were disrespectful to the Sect Head a few days ago; we hope the Sect Head will not hold a grudge." Elder Liu pushed through the crowd, disregarding his dignity, and was the first to kneel, trembling with fear.

Sect Leader Wu Yin eyed these few people coldly.

Before achieving Foundation Establishment, everyone dared to challenge you.

Once you achieve Foundation Establishment, no one bothers to care how you achieved it.

Whether it was through deception, trickery, or hypocrisy, today you are a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the number one person in the Yue Kingdom.

Sect Leader Wu Yin's spirit and demeanor were completely different from a few days ago.

He ignored Elder Liu and the others, not telling them to rise, so the few of them just stayed prostrate, not daring to move.

He stood at the entrance of the Sect Head's Secret Chamber, gazing at the distant mountains.

After Foundation Establishment, his five senses had sharpened, and the distant scenery looked much clearer.

"Can you see the jujube tree in that courtyard?"

He pointed ahead and said to the crowd.

It was the very courtyard where Elder Liu lived.

Everyone was shocked; how could one see that from so far away?

"The jujubes will be ripe soon; I will definitely bring them to the Sect Head." Elder Liu said loudly.

Sect Leader Wu Yin turned his head to Elder Huang and said: "I didn't realize that seeing further would make the scenery even better."

Elder Huang was overjoyed: "After the Sect Head achieved Foundation Establishment, your eyesight has become even better; we are no match for you."

The Disciples offered their congratulations in unison.

"Sect Head, this requires sending invitations to all the Sects in the Yue Kingdom, inviting them to observe the ceremony and participate in this grand event." Elder Huang said obsequiously.

Sect Leader Wu Yin nodded; that was only natural.

"However, the taisui evil pill is poisonous; I need to cleanse it and do not wish to be disturbed for the time being."

Elder Huang hurriedly said: "It's fine, I will send them invitations and inform them of this; they will certainly send people to offer congratulations, and the gifts they bring will definitely not be few. The Sect Head does not need to show his Face, nor do you need to give them that much Face. I can handle the matter of collecting the gift money."

Hahaha, good, good.

Sect Leader Wu Yin laughed from ear to ear.

"The Chiyan Sect is already the number one Sect in the Yue Kingdom; it is only right for other Schools to come and offer congratulations." Elder Liao said.

"That's right, if we could get the Tang Kingdom to send someone, that would really be Face." Everyone chimed in one after another.

Sect Leader Wu Yin nodded: "Logically, the Tang Kingdom will definitely send people when they hear this news. It's just that the Tang Kingdom is far away, and by the time I finish cleansing the poison from the evil pill, I will be able to meet with the people from the Tang Kingdom."

All the Elders agreed with this statement.

"I came out to see everyone just to share this joy. Now that you have seen me, I must return to continue cleansing the toxins."

Elder Liu and the others remained kneeling on the ground; Sect Leader Wu Yin walked past them, ignoring them completely.

"Sect Head, we were wrong." Elder Liu said loudly.

Sect Leader Wu Yin stopped then and said apologetically: "Ah, I forgot you were still kneeling; hehe, rise."

Having said this, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, being humiliated in such a way, these few Elders wished they could die.
