53: Answer the foundation

Yu Ping was the first to speak:

"Old Ancestor, we came to ask how to Foundation Establishment. I only have a half-understanding and cannot answer Brother Liu..."

Yu Su completely ignored this and began Alchemy.

Yu Family Ancestor said:

"Foundation Establishment is very difficult. Since Yu Ping told you, he must have said that I am a Human Dao Foundation Establishment."

Tang Tian nodded.

Before Tang Tian could answer, Yu Family Ancestor said:

"Then what do you think of Human Dao Foundation Establishment?"

"Then do you know the difference between Human Dao Foundation Establishment, Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment, and Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?

"Human Dao Foundation Establishment grants a lifespan of four Jiazi and ten years. At this point, one becomes a true immortal. Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment uses the inner cores of seven attribute Yao Beasts. After successful Foundation Establishment, the Heaven And Earth will celebrate with a five-mile stretch of unusual phenomena.

"It grants a lifespan of five Jiazi and fifty years, and the entire body will acquire a random Yao Beast Bloodline from one of the seven types. There is hope for Golden Core in this life.

"Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is formed using five types of Heaven And Earth Treasure from legends. After success, it will activate the Human Emperor Bloodline, granting a lifespan of seven Jiazi and thirty years. Golden Core is guaranteed in this life."

Yu Ping interjected:

"Five types of Heaven And Earth Treasure? Isn't that impossible in this world?"

Yu Family Ancestor said:

"I said five types, not that there are only these five types. Collecting five attribute Spiritual Materials of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth is enough."

Tang Tian muttered to himself:

"Is Foundation Establishment in this world so difficult?"

Yu Family Ancestor said:

"Indeed. When I was doing Foundation Establishment, I searched for Materials for one Jiazi and thirty years, used fifteen Foundation Establishment Pills, and finally the Sect even gave me one. Only then did I barely manage to Foundation Establishment and achieve the Human Dao."

Tang Tian asked:

"If it's Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment, what Yao Beast Materials are needed?"

Yu Family Ancestor said:

"You, young man, think quite a lot."

But he was not going to refuse to answer.

"For Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment, the required Yao Beast inner cores are from Qi Training Ninth Level Yao Beasts, which are already Vicious Beasts over ten meters tall. Gather five cores of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth attributes, and then casually find two more of wind, lightning, or similar attributes.

"Combine them with a massive amount of Medicinal Materials that can neutralize the Yao Beast's ferocity, plus a Foundation Establishment Pill, and it's done."

Tang Tian said with yearning:

"If one can kill such a creature with Qi Training, that would be a prominent figure."

Tang Tian knew how terrifying Yao Beasts were, with their huge bodies, almost invincible...

Yu Ping said:

"So, looking at it this way, finding five types for Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is even simpler?"

Yu Family Ancestor said:

"The five types for Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment are not to be found. The Materials for Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment are originally concentrated in a regional earth vein, Heaven And Earth Treasure.

"If taken, that area will return to normal, and the mysterious creatures inhabiting that place will frantically chase and kill you. The most difficult part is that these creatures do not appear in the world and cannot be found."

He didn't expect Foundation Establishment to be so difficult. Tang Tian finally understood why Foundation Establishment Cultivators were so strong.

However, there were quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Jinque City. Were they all Human Dao Foundation Establishment?

Tang Tian asked:

"Then foundation establishment grass should be easy to find, right?"

Yu Family Ancestor said:

"foundation establishment grass is not just one type of grass; flowers and green plants can all be foundation establishment grass. A good Foundation Establishment Pill not only requires a Profound Rank Alchemist, but also two types of foundation establishment grass.

"Once a foundation establishment grass appears in the world, it can be sold for a price of over one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. I can show you the appearance of foundation establishment grass."

Even Yu Su, who was doing Alchemy, came over to look.

It was a strange flower with descriptions around it, emitting a unique fragrance.

Tang Tian was startled. Wasn't that the strange flower he found in the Secret Realm!

"Young friend, do you still have your Dao Heart now?" Yu Family Ancestor asked with a smile.

"I still do."

Tang Tian cupped his fist and left with Yu Ping.

Yu Ping asked:

"Brother Liu, do you have time to visit my pharmacy?"

Tang Tian was eager to enter the Medicine Venerable Space, so he cupped his fist and left.

"Thank you."

He gave Yu Ping one hundred Spirit Stones, but Yu Ping didn't accept them, and Tang Tian didn't insist.

In that village reduced to ashes, Tang Tian entered the Medicine Venerable Space.

He went straight to the Spiritual Flower, which had already been fed to Tang Tian by the animals.

However, there was a very tiny seed underneath.

Tang Tian carefully planted it as if it were a treasure, waiting anxiously. Big Yellow was cultivating by soaking in a Spiritual Medicine bath.

Wu Qi, on the other hand, was teaching Night Spot and the little female leopard to Cultivate Evergreen Skill, but they couldn't learn it without Tang Tian's memory.

While waiting, the Spiritual Flower, and the Spiritual Qi within the Medicine Venerable Space, were absorbed by the Spiritual Flower at a visible speed.

Tang Tian said:

"That's good."

Since it could absorb, Tang Tian didn't bother with it anymore.

The entire Medicine Venerable Space was managed in an orderly fashion by Big Goose. Those chickens and ducks had also eaten hallucination intellect beast heart grass twice.

Two of them were currently sleeping.

The Spiritual Fish fry were growing very well, but these aquatic creatures found it difficult to gain sentience.

The little calf and lamb were timidly surrounded by the goose flock, occasionally taking a bite of grass.

After Tang Tian gave the strict order that they must not approach the foundation establishment grass seed, he let them play.

Wu Qi saw that Tang Tian was no longer busy and came over to play with Tang Tian.

Tang Tian rubbed Night Spot and asked the name of the little female leopard next to him:

"What's its name?"

"Roar."

Wu Qi let out a cry and said its name was Ink Jade.

Tang Tian saw that Ink Jade's body was as black as Wu Qi's, so he let them be.

Tang Tian said:

"That's good."

After staying for a while, Big Goose brought a bowl of Spiritual Rice. After eating it, he left the Medicine Venerable Space.

It was good to have Big Goose. The six Big Geese behind Big Goose could all cook, so he wouldn't have to cook himself in the future.

It was already dark outside. Tang Tian returned to the mountain and realized that he had given his token to Senior Sister Liu, so he couldn't go up.

When he got there, he found Senior Sister Liu waiting for him forlornly.

The two went up the mountain using the token.

Liu Ru Shi asked:

"Senior Brother, why isn't Big Yellow here?"

Tang Tian said:

"That's a dog with an owner. After helping us get out of the Dense Forest Stone Nest, it ran off in town. All in all, it's a good dog."

...

Liu Ru Shi said:

"It's a pity, I didn't cast the One Control Art. That kind of Spiritual Dog, if it doesn't reproduce, can live ten more years."

She planned to sterilize it next time she met it, since it had deceived her and Tang Tian's feelings so much.

Tang Tian said:

"Senior Sister Liu, don't worry. I gave Big Yellow many Gathering Qi Pills, repaying this kindness."

Senior Sister Liu muttered to herself:

"Fortunately, I kept some of Big Yellow's dog hair. I'll find it when the time comes."

Tang Tian: ...

Tang Tian said:

"Senior Sister Liu, let's not talk anymore. Let's go hand in Revered Master's mission first."

Liu Ru Shi agreed.

The two nervously approached Chi Daizi.

Tang Tian respectfully said:

"Revered Master, the mission has been completed."

Although Tang Tian had a Dao Heart, the pain was truly painful.

The two respectfully knelt before Revered Master. It was fine; kneeling to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was not shameful.

They took out the items from their storage rings.

The scorpions Liu Ru Shi took out covered half the room, and the poisonous smell permeated the air.

As soon as Tang Tian took out the pincers, scorpion heads, and Yao Cores, they began to burn and were collected by Chi Daizi.

Tang Tian said:

"Thanks to Revered Master's guidance, it was easily resolved."

He was somewhat surprised by the Spiritual Fire in front of him.

Chi Daizi said:

"To be able to kill Qi Training Sixth Level creatures with Qi Training Fifth Level and Qi Training Fourth Level, you truly are my good Disciples. I shall reward you."

Tang Tian was startled. Could it be Medicinal Pills?

Chi Daizi, however, began to refine the scorpion remains.

They were refined into Five Poison Pills with scorpion patterns. For a full three hours, Tang Tian and Liu Ru Shi knelt on the ground.

The Five Poison Pills were refined and placed into Chi Daizi's storage ring; they were not for them.

Using his own kind to refine Medicinal Pills for his Disciples to eat, Tang Tian was startled. What was Chi Daizi going to do...?
