369: Tianji Pavilion

"Foundation Establishment Realm?" Prince Lu and Zhu Dequan were both startled.

Sabado explained, "A Cultivator's cultivation Realm consists of the Qi Refining Stage, the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the Golden Core Stage. As for what comes after the Golden Core Stage, you don't need to know that yet, so I won't say more. Cultivators with Five Spiritual Roots and Four Spiritual Roots, if they Cultivate diligently, can generally succeed in gathering Qi within three years; this is just the entry level. However, Cultivators with Three Spiritual Roots can reach the Qi Refining Stage within one year. Such Cultivators are considered the backbone of a Sect; they possess the value of being nurtured and can enter the inner Sect to Cultivate, holding quite a high status. As for Cultivators with Dual Spiritual Roots, they are Genius-like existences. Their speed of Cultivation is astonishing; it is highly likely that they can guide Qi into their bodies within a month. The speed of their subsequent Cultivation is also extremely astonishing, and reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm is almost a certainty. Here, I would like to congratulate the young prince again! You are a future Foundation Establishment Cultivator!!!"

Hearing this, Prince Lu and Zhu Dequan were beaming with joy. It seemed this time, it was a sure thing!

With the Aptitude of Dual Spiritual Roots and the protection of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in Lu Wang Manor, the future was promising!

Prince Lu asked hurriedly, "I wonder what level of combat power a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can achieve?"

Sabado pondered for a moment and said, "In terms of raw power alone, the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm is comparable to a Martial King, the Middle Stage to a Martial Saint, and the Late Stage to a Martial God!!!"

"Good heavens..." The two exclaimed, their eyes shining. Zhu Dequan, in particular, was shaking with excitement, his head held high, his face flushed...

Sabado continued, "Actually, this only refers to power. For a Cultivator, their combat style is extremely rich. They can attack from a distance or close up, and they have various Magical Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts for assistance. Their combat power is simply unimaginable to a Xuan Practitioner. Therefore, if viewed comprehensively, a Cultivator at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm can completely take down a Martial God. Unless there are some special circumstances, this result is hard to change..."

"This, this, this..." Prince Lu and Zhu Dequan were suddenly enveloped by a huge surprise, unable to even speak clearly!

They had not expected that a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be so powerful, and that Dual Spiritual Roots would be such a Genius. But with Zhu Dequan's Aptitude, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm was actually a certainty. In this way, wouldn't Lu Wang Manor be on the verge of taking off?

Prince Lu suddenly reacted and asked urgently, "Sir, I wonder with my son's Aptitude, how long will it take to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm? And how should he Cultivate?"

Sabado pondered for a moment and said, "Currently, there are no Cultivation Techniques existing in the Great Ming. Moreover, the young prince's Dual Spiritual Roots are somewhat special. Finding a suitable Cultivation Technique is almost impossible!"

"It's actually like that?!" Prince Lu was startled.

Zhu Dequan asked, "May I ask, Sir, what is special about my Dual Spiritual Roots?"

Sabado nodded and said, "Look, your two rays of spiritual light—one is red, which is a Fire Spiritual Root, and one is cyan, which is a Wind Spiritual Root. This configuration is top-tier among Dual Spiritual Roots. It is possible to reach an Earth-grade Aptitude. You must know that wind aids fire; with such an exotic Spiritual Root as the Wind attribute, the combat power increase you can unleash in the future will be much higher than that of ordinary Dual Spiritual Roots!"

"So that's it!" Zhu Dequan's heart leaped wildly as he heard this. He felt that his future was bright; not only was the position of prince within his grasp, but even the position of Great Emperor was vaguely visible...

"However..." Sabado's tone shifted.

"However what?!" Zhu Dequan asked anxiously.

"Cultivation Techniques that include exotic Spiritual Root attributes are extremely precious. Even if a Sect of Cultivators has them, they cannot be easily taken out. If one is not an elite Disciple or a Core Disciple of the Sect, it is basically impossible to get one. Even with money, you cannot buy it!" Sabado said.

His words were like a basin of cold water, drenching Prince Lu and his son. Listening to Sabado's meaning, not only were there no Cultivation Techniques in the Great Ming, but even if there were, they couldn't buy them with money. What should they do?

Prince Lu was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he saw the faint smile on Sabado's face. A ray of hope rose in his heart, and he hurriedly said, "Please teach this King, Sir!"

As he spoke, he took out two jade boxes and placed them on the table.

Just as Sabado was about to decline, he saw Prince Lu open the lids of the boxes. He couldn't help but stare. In one box lay a black card marked with "10 Billion Xuan Coins," and in the other box lay a stone, which was actually a rare supreme-grade mysterious stone!

His heart twitched violently. A supreme-grade mysterious stone was worth more than ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones to him; after all, it was a supreme-grade mysterious object, and it was useful for his Cultivation. As for the 10 billion Xuan Coins, it made him unable to look away; this was indeed a huge sum of money!

A grand gesture!

Prince Lu had given too much!

With this income, he wouldn't even need to worry about his mission on Blue Star anymore, because this money could be exchanged for countless Blue Star resources, and then he could return to the Sect to exchange for resources for Cultivation. In this way, he could shorten his Cultivation time and have a chance to break through to the Golden Core Stage!

For Cultivation, wealth, companions, techniques, and land are the most important resources, with wealth being ranked first. It shows how important wealth is to a Cultivator. Thinking of this, Sabado's heart was heavily struck by Prince Lu's grand gesture...

He sighed softly and said, "Many thanks to the Prince for such great kindness! Since that is the case, I will point out a clear path for the young prince!"

"Please speak, Sir!" Prince Lu said with great joy. Zhu Dequan, who was on the side, was also beaming with joy. Although he had also been shocked by his father's grand gesture just now, seeing Sabado's reaction afterward, he knew his father's methods had worked!

As long as it works, that's fine. Isn't it just money? As long as the Cultivation is successful, are they afraid they can't earn it back?

Sure enough, Sabado said, "The Prince has great spirit! Since the Prince is willing to invest in the young prince without sparing any cost, then I will help to the end. I believe the Prince's investment will surely yield rich returns!"

"Please speak, Sir!" Prince Lu smiled.

"You may not be clear about the situation behind Xuanji Tower. In fact, our Xuanji Tower comes from an extraterrestrial life planet called Elf Star. We are a major power of Cultivators on Elf Star!" Sabado said proudly.

"What? It actually comes from the extraterrestrial Elf Star? And is a major power of Cultivators?!" Both were shocked.

"Haha, Xuanji Tower is called Tianji Pavilion on our side. The business of Tianji Pavilion extends across countless life planets, and our force is just a branch established by Tianji Pavilion on Elf Star." Sabado added.

"Wow!!!" The two exclaimed, feeling their minds blown. They hadn't expected that Xuanji Tower had such a background. Moreover, only today did they know that there were countless life planets outside of Blue Star, and there were forces of Cultivators. This worldview was suddenly greatly broadened!

Prince Lu suddenly felt that his perspective was too small. His previous life had been spent aiming for the position of Great Emperor, but this position of Great Emperor was so insignificant compared to the world outside Blue Star, it was simply not worth mentioning!
