Chapter 126 I Want to Establish My Foundation
inside the room.
Cheng Yao looked helplessly at Wang Xingwei, who was lying unconscious on the bed.
The rumors circulating in the city during this period, coupled with the fact that the Meng family's Foundation Establishment cultivators came to his door and brought in various doctors to treat Wang Xingwei in an attempt to wake him up, all added up to this.
She could easily guess that Wang Xingwei was the unlucky guy whose Foundation Establishment Pill had been tampered with.
Because of the problem with the Foundation Establishment Pill, he failed to establish his foundation despite using two pills in a row to attempt to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yao couldn't help but feel a pang of pity when she looked at Wang Xingwei.
Foundation Building Pills are incredibly precious.
The Wang family went to great lengths to obtain these two Foundation Establishment Pills; in fact, these two pills embodied the hopes of the entire Wang family.
However, Wang Xingwei failed twice in a row, ruining the future of his entire family.
Without knowing that there was something wrong with the Foundation Building Pill, one can imagine the kind of scolding Wang Xingwei endured at the time.
He was sent to the Fishing Village Herb Garden as a manager, but in reality, he was exiled there!
No wonder, Wang Xingwei has been alone in the Fishing Village Herb Garden for so many years, yet the Wang family has been completely indifferent to his situation.
Now that the problem with the Foundation Establishment Pill has been exposed, the mastermind behind it all, Ye Chen, has been punished.
However, the matter of the spirit stones belonging to the rogue cultivators in Wangjiakeng is an undeniable fact.
Therefore, the punishment imposed on the Wang family by the Immortal City still exists.
The Wang family cultivators were too busy taking care of themselves to spare any effort to look after Wang Xingwei, even though they knew that the failure to establish his foundation was not Wang Xingwei's fault. They had no intention of taking him home or taking care of him.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Cheng Yao sighed softly, "You're really unlucky. If those two Foundation Establishment Pills hadn't been a problem, you'd probably be a Foundation Establishment cultivator by now."
"I never expected that you would be a cultivator with two spiritual roots, the young master of the Wang family in the Immortal City."
"It's a pity that the Wang family of Immortal City has been schemed against and fallen into ruin. Otherwise, after taking care of you for so many years, you should be thanking me properly!"
"Not to mention a lot, you should at least give me a few hundred spirit stones."
"But then again, if no one had schemed against you, your ancestor would still be alive and well, and you wouldn't need me to take care of you."
"Sigh... it seems the Wang family doesn't care about you at all."
……
Cheng Yao chattered on about what had happened in the Immortal City during this time, her eyes wandering, completely unaware that Wang Xingwei's fingers suddenly twitched.
she does not know.
In fact, Wang Xingwei never fell into a coma; he remained conscious throughout. He was simply psychologically traumatized and unwilling to wake up.
He couldn't accept the fact that his ancestor had died, nor could he accept that he had let his ancestor down; he couldn't forgive himself.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart; his heart was dead!
Therefore, the Wang family lost power, and he was driven out of the fishing village. He never woke up.
He lay there for five years, but he never woke up.
He was slapped twice hard by Meng Qingyun, but he still didn't wake up.
He felt that someone as useless as him had no reason to live.
What's the point of him still being alive? He might as well be dead.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault!"
"It's my fault for being so useless; it's my fault that our ancestor died."
"If it weren't for me, my family wouldn't be in this state now."
……
Given his condition, doctors, pharmacists, and musicians naturally couldn't find anything wrong with him, because his body was very healthy and his mind was very clear.
He simply couldn't forgive himself, couldn't get over his self-blame, so he deliberately lay down and refused to wake up.
But at this moment, listening to Cheng Yao's self-talk, he gradually felt relieved.
"Yes, if it weren't for the problem with the Foundation Establishment Pill, I wouldn't have failed to establish my foundation."
"The ancestor's death was due to the machinations of others, not because of me."
"I've been unconscious for so long, and no one from my clan has come to see me. Why should I care too much about what they think?"
"I am a cultivator with two spiritual roots, a genius."
……
All those words ultimately boil down to one sentence.
Suddenly, Wang Xingwei sat up in bed, his eyes fixed intently ahead: "I want to establish my foundation!"
"You want to establish your foundation? Ah!" Wang Xingwei suddenly woke up, startling Cheng Yao so much that she stood up.
However, this shock quickly turned into joy: Wang Xingwei woke up, and she was finally free from her suffering.
But Wang Xingwei's next move startled Cheng Yao.
Because Wang Xingwei was sitting cross-legged on the bed, in a posture with his five hearts facing the sky, truly preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Snapped!"
Cheng Yao got anxious and slapped Wang Xingwei hard, so hard that his head tilted to the side at a 45-degree angle.
Opening his eyes, Wang Xingwei looked at Cheng Yao in confusion: "Sister Cheng Yao, why did you hit me?"
Cheng Yao said irritably, "The spiritual veins here are only of the first-grade, high-level quality. You're trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage here? Are you out of your mind? Besides, you don't even have a Foundation Establishment Pill. What are you going to do?"
After listening to Cheng Yao's words, Wang Xingwei scratched his head: "Sister Cheng Yao, give me some spirit stones, I need to rent a second-tier spirit land to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
"I don't have spirit stones, where would I get spirit stones?" Hearing Wang Xingwei ask for spirit stones, Cheng Yao shook her head vigorously. "Besides, I already said, you don't have Foundation Establishment Pills, how can you establish your foundation?"
Wang Xingwei blinked: "I don't need Foundation Establishment Pills."
He wasn't acting on impulse; he was telling the truth.
Although Hu Feng secretly tampered with the two Foundation Establishment Pills he used, causing their effects to become unstable during his Foundation Establishment process, he failed to break through.
However, he completed part of the foundation building during both of his attacks.
Therefore, his current realm can be described as half-step Foundation Establishment, and the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck is greatly reduced compared to other cultivators.
Moreover, the residual medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill still remains in his body, and he can still utilize this residual medicinal power as long as he is willing to try!
In addition, since he has two spiritual roots, he can achieve a success rate of about 30% in establishing his foundation even without using Foundation Establishment Pills.
Having resolved his inner conflict, Wang Xingwei is fully confident that he can successfully complete the foundation building process.
Cheng Yao, however, was unaware of all this. She didn't want to see Wang Xingwei, who had finally woken up, go to his death: "Trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage without using Foundation Establishment Pills? Do you want to die?"
But Wang Xingwei ignored her advice, only muttering repeatedly, "I want to establish my foundation! I want to establish my foundation! I want to establish my foundation!"
Finally, Cheng Yao got fed up with the nagging and said helplessly, "I'll go find you a spiritual site for Foundation Establishment."
Wang Xingwei then beamed with joy: "Thank you, Sister Cheng Yao."
……
Ten days later, Cheng Yao brought Wang Xingwei to Qinglong Mountain.
She could earn six or seven spirit stones a month by renting out a second-tier cave dwelling, but the Foundation Establishment process would take at least one or two months, so she was unwilling to spend spirit stones.
So she set her sights on Zhang Tie.
She knew that Zhang Tie's cave dwelling possessed a second-grade high-quality spiritual vein, which would be far more effective for foundation building than the cave dwellings rented out in the Immortal City.
Anyway, I don't need to give spirit stones to ask my second brother for help.
After hearing Cheng Yao explain the situation, Zhang Tie agreed to her request without hesitation.
He agreed to let Wang Xingwei use his cave dwelling to attempt the Foundation Establishment stage.
The two entered Zhang Tie's cave, and Wang Xingwei unceremoniously entered the secluded training ground that Zhang Tie had prepared for him.
He sat cross-legged, circulated his magical power, and began his attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
……
Cheng Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a little worried.
She breathed a sigh of relief because, regardless of whether Wang Xingwei succeeded in his attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, she no longer needed to worry about this burden.
The concern stems from the fact that Wang Xingwei lacks the protection of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and if he fails to break through the barrier, his life could be in danger.
After all, she had taken good care of Wang Xingwei for more than five years. Five years of companionship would have made even a dog attached, let alone a person.
Cheng Yao sighed, "I hope you succeed!"
Just as she sighed, the spiritual energy around Zhang Tie's cave began to stir.
……
On Xiantao Mountain.
Li Ping is currently meeting with two younger men, Yan Hengchuan and Ji Shuxuan.
The two younger generation members have been in the Immortal City for four years. Yan Hengchuan is nineteen years old this year, and Ji Shuxuan is twenty. Both of them have come of age and their features have matured.
However, both of them had very poor spiritual roots, even though Li Ping gave them pills and guided their cultivation every year.
However, the two were at the second level of Qi Refining and the third level of Qi Refining, respectively.
Ji Shuxuan is doing well; he should have no problem cultivating to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
Yan Hengchuan... As a cultivator with five spiritual roots, Li Ping estimated that he would encounter great trouble when breaking through the mid-stage bottleneck, and would likely have to rely on the power of pills.
For Qi Refining cultivators, such pills that can break through bottlenecks are not only extremely valuable, but also impossible to obtain.
However, since he has a great grandmaster, Li Ping plans to give him a breakthrough pill when he reaches the peak of the third level of Qi Refining.
Otherwise, he would probably end up like Master Ji, barely managing to cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining before he died.
After bestowing pills upon the two and giving them some guidance on their cultivation, Li Ping signaled that they could leave.
To his surprise, Yan Hengchuan did not rush to leave, but instead looked hesitant and wanted to say something.
Li Ping couldn't help but wonder, and he asked with a smile, "Yokokawa, have you run into some trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Hengchuan nodded and then shook his head: "Grandmaster, it's some personal matter. I won't bother you any longer."
After saying that, he grabbed Ji Shuxuan and left in a flash.
Upon seeing this, Li Ping couldn't help but chuckle, not taking the matter to heart.
Back in the alchemy room, he began to study a pill formula he had recently bought from Jade Cliff Palace.
The pill is named "Beast-Feeding Pill".
As the name suggests, the Beast-Feeding Pill is a kind of elixir developed by cultivators to feed spirit beasts.
If given to spirit beasts over a long period of time, it can accelerate their growth process.
In fact, this prescription contains three different ingredients.
These are Tier 1 Beast Taming Pills, Tier 2 Beast Taming Pills, and Tier 3 Beast Taming Pills, which can be consumed by beasts of the corresponding tiers.
Li Ping's spirit beast, the Wildfire Sparrow, possesses extraordinary bloodline. After devouring an eggshell and digesting it, it awakens with the strength of a late-stage first-tier beast.
Moreover, once they reach adulthood, they will possess strength comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators, and their aptitude will be no less than that of Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators.
However, this kind of celestial bird grows at an absurdly slow rate. In order to make it grow up as quickly as possible, Li Ping prepared to specially refine pills for it to refine and speed up its growth.
