34: Chapter 34 Medicinal Cuisine Combined with Dual Cultivation, Xiao Wan Also Achieves Foundation Establishment! Has the Light of the Righteous Path Shined Upon the Earth?

A few days later!

Hehuan Sect, top floor of the Xianshi Pavilion.

The morning sunlight filtered through the glazed windows, spilling onto a massive round table made of agarwood.

The table was covered with a dazzling array of delicacies, their aroma wafting through the air.

"Revered Master, this 'Braised Spirit Pig Trotter' is delicious! It's full of collagen; I feel like my skin is even more elastic!"

Lin Xiaowan was hugging a pig trotter larger than her face, gnawing on it until her mouth was dripping with grease, showing no lady-like image whatsoever.

Wang Yang sat at the head of the table, holding a cup of tea. He seemed to be savoring it, but in reality, he was staring blankly at the control panel of the Xianshi Pavilion.

Just moments ago, he had accidentally clicked on an "Advanced Option" in the corner of the panel.

[Ding! Detected that the host has reached 3 Dao Companions, unlocking the Xianshi Pavilion's hidden menu—[Medicinal Cuisine Zone]!]

Wang Yang's eyes lit up, and his finger slid gently across the screen.

[Dragon and Phoenix Harmony Soup]

Price: 50 Points/portion.

Effect: Nourishes Yin and supplements Yang, harmonizes Dragon and Tiger.

Special effect: If Dual Cultivation is performed within half an hour of consumption, the Fusion rate of spiritual power for both parties increases by 200%, and the probability of breaking through a Bottleneck increases by 50%!

Note: This is the legendary ultimate hybrid of "Indestructible Golden Spear + Realm-Breaking Pill", with no side effects and an excellent taste (strawberry flavor).

"Good stuff!"

Wang Yang slapped his thigh hard.

He had been worried about Lin Xiaowan being stuck at the Peak of the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Stage for several days, unable to touch the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

Although there were foundation establishment pills for sale in the mall, cultivation that was forced through Medicinal Pills would inevitably have a shaky Foundation.

But this medicinal cuisine was different!

One could enjoy delicious food, and also enjoy... cough, enjoy that process, while breaking through at the same time!

It was simply tailor-made for the Hehuan Sect!

"Xiao Wan."

Wang Yang put down his teacup, revealing a kind smile like that of the Big Bad Wolf.

"Mm? Revered Master, wha's wrong?" Lin Xiaowan asked indistinctly, her mouth stuffed with meat.

"I see you've been stuck at a Bottleneck for some days now, and I am quite anxious in my heart."

Wang Yang flipped his wrist and spent 50 points to exchange for a bowl of crystal-clear soup emitting pink steam.

"Come, this is a 'Special Tonic Soup' I prepared specifically for you. Drink it, and I guarantee you will reach Foundation Establishment!"

"Really?!"

Lin Xiaowan's eyes instantly lit up like two large lightbulbs. She swallowed the meat in her mouth with a gulp, picked up the bowl, and downed it in one go before she could even taste it.

"Ha—! Delicious! It's sweet, like strawberry juice!"

Lin Xiaowan licked her lips, wanting more.

However, in the next second.

Her face turned as red as a piece of hot iron, and a plume of hot steam rose from her.

"Revered Master... why do I feel... dizzy... and..."

Lin Xiaowan's gaze began to blur, and her body became as soft as a noodle, sliding directly off the chair. She felt a surge of heat running wildly through her body, desperately needing an outlet.

"That's it."

Wang Yang first drank a bowl himself, then caught her in his arms and winked at the thoughtful Ye Qingcheng and Su Qingge nearby.

"My two wives, Xiao Wan is about to reach Foundation Establishment. I'll take her to 'Secluded Meditation' first."

"I'll leave things here to you."

Ye Qingcheng looked at the bowl of soup and understood instantly. A blush appeared on her face as she spat, "You old rogue... go on then, just don't break Xiao Wan."

Deep within the main hall, heavy curtains hung layer upon layer.

This day's "Secluded Meditation" was longer and more intense than ever before.

Under the catalytic effect of the [Dragon and Phoenix Harmony Soup], the spiritual power within Lin Xiaowan's body was like boiling lava.

Under the guidance of Wang Yang's Supreme Yin-Yang Creation Scripture, this violent energy was tamed, compressed, and purified.

Finally, as the sun set behind the mountains.

Boom—!

A powerful pressure belonging to the Foundation Establishment Stage erupted from within the main hall!

Lin Xiaowan, who was previously only at the Qi Refinement Stage, saw the gaseous spiritual power in her Dantian completely liquefy, converging into a single drop of golden True Essence.

Foundation Establishment successful!

Furthermore, because it was a Perfect Foundation Establishment, her aura stabilized directly at the Peak of the first level of the Early Foundation Establishment Stage!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Eldest Disciple Lin Xiaowan has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!]

[Triggering Domain expansion mechanism!]

[Qi Refinement Perfection (9th Level) -> Foundation Establishment Early Stage (1st Level): Increase by 100 meters!]

[Current Domain radius: 14.94 km + 1 km = 15.04 km!]

"Phew..."

Wang Yang walked out of the hall feeling refreshed.

Behind him, Lin Xiaowan, who had just broken through and was too tired to even move a finger, was sleeping soundly while clutching her quilt, a satisfied smile still hanging on the corner of her mouth.

"Done."

Wang Yang stretched his limbs, preparing to head to the Xianshi Pavilion to grab some late-night snacks to nourish his body.

Suddenly.

[Ding!]

[Detected hostile target rapidly approaching the Domain edge!]

[Distance to core: 16 km.]

[Estimated time to enter Domain: 10 seconds!]

Wang Yang frowned.

"Again?"

"Who is it this time? Did that coward Zhao Liuyun finally find the courage to step out?"

He opened the System map to take a look.

Above the clouds at the edge of the Domain, a massive flying boat, luxuriously decorated with a Purple Sun Flag hanging from the bow, was breaking through the clouds!

On the deck of the flying boat stood over a dozen figures.

Leading them was a man dressed in purple-gold Daoist robes, standing with his hands behind his back. He looked no more than twenty years old, yet his face was full of arrogance.

The aura emanating from him was more than just a little bit stronger than Han Feng's!

Half-step Core Formation!

...

Above Qingshi Town.

Ziyang Sect True Disciple, Xiao Chenyi, stood at the bow of the flying boat, looking down at the impoverished mountains and rivers with a look of disdain.

"Hmph, that useless Zhao Liuyun is truly regressing as he lives."

Xiao Chenyi gave a cold snort, playing with a folding fan in his hand.

"A mere barren land, yet he dares to report a false alarm, claiming to have discovered 'Hehuan Sect remnants'?"

"Eight hundred years ago, that demonic Sect was wiped clean by our Righteous Path Old Ancestors! Where would any remnants come from?"

"I see he just wants to cheat the Sect out of contribution points!"

A lackey-like Early Foundation Establishment Stage Disciple nearby quickly chimed in: "Senior Brother Xiao is right! In my opinion, it's mostly likely that Liuyun Sect is incompetent and offended some enemy they can't handle, so they want to use our Ziyang Sect's hand to kill them."

"However..." the lackey's tone shifted as he said flatteringly, "since we're here, we have no reason to return empty-handed. I heard that Zhao Liuyun has gathered many good things over the years. Later, we must make him 'honor' Senior Brother properly."

Upon hearing this, a greedy smile curled at the corner of Xiao Chenyi's mouth.

"That goes without saying."

"Let's go. First, let's see what kind of trash this so-called 'demonic Sect' is."

The flying boat moved forward at high speed.

Soon, a small mountain shrouded in clouds and mist appeared in their sight.

Xiao Chenyi scanned with his Divine Sense.

In front of the mountain gate stood a massive stone tablet, upon which three large characters were carved in a bold, flowing style—Hehuan Sect.

"Hoh!"

Xiao Chenyi's eyebrows shot up, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

"What audacity!"

"They actually dare to use this name?"

As a True Disciple of a great righteous Sect, the education he had received since childhood was to "Eliminate demons and defend the Dao."

Regardless of whether this Sect was truly a remnant of a demonic Sect, the mere fact that they dared to call themselves "Hehuan Sect" was a capital offense in his eyes!

"All Junior Brothers, hear my command!"

Xiao Chenyi closed his folding fan, his righteous aura erupting with awe-inspiring force.

"The prodigies below, openly using a demonic Sect's name, must be evil!"

"Follow me down to subdue the prodigies and eliminate the demons!!"

"Leave no man alive! Flatten that demon den for me!"

"Yes! Senior Brother is mighty!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The flying boat lowered its altitude, hovering above the mountain gate of the Hehuan Sect.

Xiao Chenyi looked down from above, shouting with his Qi. His voice was like rolling thunder, spreading across a hundred miles.

"Demons below, listen up!"

"I am the Ziyang Sect True Disciple, Xiao Chenyi!"

"If you know what's good for you, come out immediately and kneel to your death! Hand over all Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques and treasures!"

"Otherwise, this day next year will be your death anniversary!!"

This shout directly terrified the people of Qingshi Town, who were just about to sleep, making them tremble with fear.

It also made Wang Yang, who was just about to eat his late-night snack, chuckle.

On the Hehuan Sect square.

Wang Yang looked up at the pretty boy in the sky whose nostrils were pointed at people, then looked at the dozen or so "experience packs" behind him wearing uniform clothing.

Especially the leader, Xiao Chenyi. In the System's vision, he was a walking Large Gold Treasure Chest!

"Half-step Core Formation..."

"Ziyang Sect True Disciple..."

Wang Yang rubbed his chin, turned to the already arriving Ye Qingcheng and Su Qingge, and smiled.

"My wives."

"It seems tonight's snack will have to be eaten a bit later."

"Look at that, the Light of the Righteous Path has come to shine on our heads."

"Since they are here to 'subdue demons', if we don't act a bit more 'demonic', wouldn't we be letting down their long-distance visit?"

Ye Qingcheng performed a blade flourish and gave a charming smile: "Husband is right. I'll go teach this righteous young hero what 'the cruelty of the world' means."

Su Qingge also coldly picked up her Guqin: "Noisy."

Wang Yang nodded, then gave a big middle finger to the sky. He sank his Qi into his Dantian and replied with an even more arrogant statement:

"Where did this stray dog come from, barking in the sky?"

"Don't you know this airspace over the Hehuan Sect is a no-fly zone?"

"Get... the hell down here!"
