NOVEL WEB Chapter 165: Liu Emei's Foundation Establishment_2
However, the identity of this woman was as a direct female disciple of the Tianning Palace of the True Core Pill Sect,
Her companion, Elder Sun's grandson, Cheng Jian, said that a few days ago, the two of them were robbed by the rogue cultivator Jiang Hao, and got separated.
Cheng Jian barely escaped, but the true successor was led astray by Jiang Hao's sharp moves, raped before being killed.
In response, the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance condemned Jiang Hao, and increased his bounty to 20,000 spirit stones,
thus, many late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, even Pseudo-core cultivators, started moving towards the Demon Territory, hoping to capture Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao, who was somewhere in a secret realm within the Demon Territory, was stunned when he got the news:
"So now, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can pretend to act like me, huh?
Go, my second one, check for me if the person who raped and killed that disciple from Tianning Palace was not that Elder's grandson. If it was him, kill him!
You want me to take the blame. Who do you think you are? Senior Green Lotus?"
...
When Song Chengcheng heard this news, he really felt afraid,
"Brother Chen, thanks to your reminder, otherwise I would have left alone and probably would have suffered from Jiang Hao's sharp moves."
Chen Yi shook his head in thought:
"Raping and killing a female cultivator might not necessarily be Jiang Hao's modus operandi. Don't rush to conclusions before we are certain
Maybe some scoundrel did the bad deed and pinned it on Jiang Hao."
Song Chengcheng was confused: "Are there really such ruthless people in the Immortal Cultivation World?"
Chen Yi:...
.....
Afterwards, Song Chengcheng left Wangyue Island and returned to cultivate at Qinglong Island.
Chen Yi also took Liu Emei and tidied up, returned the house at Huichun Hall, and said goodbye to Wang Tengfei,
the two of them discreetly left Wangyue Island and headed towards the Cold Sword Gate in the northern glacier area.
Two months later, on a glacier branch at the Cold Sword Gate,
Chen Yi and the person in charge of the sect handed over, he paid a rent of 10,000 spirit stones for ten years,
and was introduced to a co-renter named Ma Xiaoqiu,
there are three ice peaks on this spiritual vein, suitable for three Foundation Establishment cultivators to use. Ma Xiaoqiu currently occupied the main peak in the middle, she welcomed Chen Yi's arrival,
after the previous two tenants left, Ma Xiaoqiu had to pay an annual rent of 2,000 spirit stones to rent the spiritual vein by herself
and very much needed to find a roommate to share the rent,
and after hearing about Chen Yi's situation, she was satisfied with his reputation as the Turtle Doctor and agreed to let Chen Yi become her co-tenant.
Chen Yi took Liu Emei to choose the ice mountain on the far left,
this was the smallest peak, but Chen Yi had observed the spiritual light, and the spiritual energy of this ice peak was the purest.
Coming here, the person who reacted the most was Liu Emei,
her cultivation level had already reached the peak of Qi Cultivation, but she did not have the opportunity to establish the foundation in Wangyue City,
now that she had come to this second-tier ice-attribute spirit vein peak, as soon as she entered, the Ice Essence Spiritual Power in her body started to become restless.
"Brother Chen, I think I'm about to establish my foundation."
Liu Emei was surprised and delighted by the effects this cold vein brought, she didn't expect her body to have such a strong reaction after coming here.
"So soon? I haven't prepared your Foundation Establishment Pill."
Chen Yi frowned. Liu Emei's mana was indeed polished and ready. Chen Yi had been looking for a suitable ice-attribute demon core for her, but he hadn't found a suitable one due to the time being too rushed,
and he didn't expect her to be so quick to establish her Foundation.
"I feel like I might not need a Foundation Establishment Pill…"
Liu Emei, sensing the pure and rampant ice-attribute spiritual power in her body, hesitantly said.
"This is a Meridian Protection Pill, take it for now. If you feel that you can't suppress and need to establish your foundation, take it for safety."
A Meridian Protection Pill can save one from death in case of a Foundation Establishment failure. Although Liu Emei's Chilling Essence Treasure Body talent most likely doesn't need a Foundation Establishment Pill for fellowship, it's better to be safe than sorry.
"Okay." Little Emei took the Meridian Protection Pill, and happily flew to the top of the peak, chose a cave dwelling, and settled there.
Several days later,
Chen Yi looked at the stirring of the spiritual energy above Emei's cave mansion, in silence.
"Daoist Chen, congratulations, your cultivation partner just arrived at this Little Cold Peak, and she's already starting the breakthrough to establish her foundation."
The neighboring Fairy Ma Xiaoqiu smiled at Chen Yi.
Chen Yi himself named his mountain Little Cold Peak. After coming here, Chen Yi had visited the neighboring Fairy Ma,
She was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment puppet master, Chen Yi guessed she should have obtained an ancient heritage. Once when she inadvertently used her divine sense to probe Chen Yi, Chen Yi found out that her divine sense was comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment.
Ma Xiaoqiu, despite seeming generous and fond of laughter, was innately detached and indifferent to others.
When Chen Yi came to pay her a visit bearing pills, Ma Xiaoqiu accepted them with a smile and even presented him with a superior first-tier puppet in return.
However, she did not invite Chen Yi into her Cave Mansion, nor did she offer him tea,
Chen Yi understood that as an early-stage Pill Alchemist in the Qi Cultivation phase, it was normal for her to look down on him.
"Thank you for your concern, Fairy Ma. She is not well prepared, and it's still uncertain whether she can successfully establish her foundation.
Moreover, Emei is not my cultivation partner, but my servant."
Chen Yi responded with a bitter smile.
"Oh, a servant, no wonder Daoist Chen didn't prepare a Foundation Establishment Pill for her."
Ma Xiaoqiu's eyes twinkled, clearly deep in thought.
Twenty days later,
both of them stood on their respective peak, observing Emei's Foundation Establishment process,
Chen Yi looked pleased while Ma Xiaoqiu remained silent.
Apparently, Liu Emei, who had no Foundation Establishment Pill, had already passed the most dangerous stage of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Now she should be in the process of transforming Qi into liquid. At this point, her foundation establishment was basically a success. The strength and purity of her mana after foundation establishment would determine the quality of her success.
Seeing this, Ma Xiaoqiu was somewhat puzzled,
How could a mere servant girl, without a Foundation Establishment Pill, break through the Essence, Qi, and Spirit so quickly?
She herself had a Dual Spirit Root Talent. When she was establishing her own foundation, despite taking a substandard Foundation Establishment Pill, her speed was still slower than this.
This servant girl was not simple.
"Zen Chen, just a reminder, our Spirit Vein can only accommodate three Foundation Establishment cultivators. If your servant girl succeeds in establishing her foundation, you two will become a pair and the rent calculation will have to change."
DA hearing this, Chen Yi was taken aback as he hadn't considered this.
Indeed, it wouldn't be appropriate for Emei to continue as his servant now that she had become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
If she wanted, she could set up her own sect from now on. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, after all these years with Chen Yi, she had also gained some self-protection power.
In that case, there wouldn't be the issue of both of them occupying Little Cold Peak.
A few days later, the vortex of the Spiritual Energy in the sky gradually grew larger, reaching a level that even usual Foundation Establishment cultivators who took pills couldn't reach,
All of a sudden, the spiritual energy contracted, and soon afterwards, a strong wave of Foundation Establishment mana emerged in the Cave Mansion.
Liu Emei, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment phase and was yet adept at controlling her mana, briefly exposed the real fluctuations of her Chilling Essence power.
The fluctuations were so much stronger than typical early Foundation Establishment cultivators' that they almost reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yi hastily set up a formation plate to obscure it.
However, Ma Xiaoqiu, who had been watching this all along, noticed almost immediately,
At this moment, she was shocked.
Her neighbor Chen Yi's little servant girl was at least a top-tier Single Spiritual Root talent, and might even be the legendary Precious Body!
What was she doing serving a simple Pill Alchemist like Chen Yi? Was she being forced?
Hmm, men are all the same, always insisting on keeping beautiful women by their side!
Now that she had successfully established her foundation, she should be able to break free from her chains and gain freedom.
Hmm, if Chen Yi wouldn't let her go, she would have to speak up for the little girl.
Ma Xiaoqiu thought of her own experiences and sighed.
A few days later, Liu Emei had completely taken control of her Foundation Establishment mana, once again concealing it, and came out,
The first thing she did was rush to Chen Yi, who had been standing guard outside, and hugged him.
"Brother Chen, I made it! Hehehe!"
"By the way, let me tell you a secret. It seems like a tiny bit of Ice Jade Essence Liquid has been produced within me~"
This second sentence was conveyed through Liu Emei's voice transmission. As she spoke, her face reddened,
The rush to break through to Foundation Establishment was precisely so that she could produce that substance, which would be given to Brother Chen....
"Good, I got it. That's not needed for now. Store up more of it before we discuss further.
Moreover, Emei, now that you have successfully established your foundation,
it's not suitable for you to continue serving as my maid.
Do you have any plans for the future?
Wherever you want to go, big brother will support you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Emei, who had been smiling broadly, suddenly looked crestfallen,
At the verge of tears.
