Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid

"But before that..." Yun Shu took out what he had gained over the past three months: 146 Gold Coins and some equipment.

Some had been stolen, some earned through helping others, and some, naturally, had been taken from corpses.

He had no choice. At first, Yun Shu had not even had money for food. To avoid exposing the Omni-Pill, he could only linger around various businesses and use the system's Storage Space to swipe food.

Over time, Yun Shu developed this bad habit...

Whenever he came across something he liked, he would directly store it in the Storage Space. Aside from a set of clothes, he had nothing on him. Even if someone stripped him naked, they would not find a thing.

Yun Shu had never been discovered, because the Divine Concealment Art he cultivated was simply too effective at hiding his aura. Once he blended into a crowd, he was basically impossible to find.

As for looting corpses, Yun Shu often entered the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range to test the effects of the Divine Concealment Art. Occasionally, he encountered heavily wounded or dead mercenaries whose companions had not had time to deal with them. Their belongings were still on them, so Yun Shu stripped them clean.

And it had to be said, the Divine Concealment Art was truly impressive now that he had reached the beginner level. Even if Yun Shu stood on a tree branch directly above some magical beasts' heads, as long as he made no sound, they genuinely could not detect him.

"System, this is all I own. Take it all for the Lottery!" After tossing the Gold Coins and equipment stripped from those dead people to the system, Yun Shu spoke expectantly.

Together, these things had originally been worth over ten thousand Gold Coins. He really wondered what good item he might draw.

"Ding! Lottery in progress..."

"Congratulations, you have obtained one bottle of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid!"

"It's actually this!" Yun Shu said excitedly. This was a good thing. As long as he used up this bottle of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, Yun Shu could at least break through to the fourth stage of Dou Qi within two months, perhaps even the fifth stage!

This Lottery draw was absolutely a huge profit. Even inferior Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid could sell for forty thousand Gold Coins at an Auction House, while the things Yun Shu had given the system might originally have been worth over ten thousand, but now were worth at most five or six thousand. Wasn't this a massive gain...

"But I'll deal with the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid after I get there." Yun Shu narrowed his eyes. His main purpose in going to Wu Tan City this time was actually Xiao Yan's ring—Yao Lao.

If Xiao Yan's Dou Qi had not yet regressed, Yun Shu would try every possible way to sweet-talk Xiao Yan into giving him Yao Lao's ring, then toss it to the system for a Lottery draw.

But if Xiao Yan's Dou Qi had already dropped to the third stage, then forget it. After all, Xiao Yan's regressing Dou Qi was caused by Yao Lao, so Yao Lao had already awakened. Yun Shu would basically have no chance.

Then he might as well visit the Mittel Auction House and take a look at that peerless beauty. Since he had the system and could regularly produce strange and unusual items, he should be able to attract Ya Fei's interest.

A few hours later, Yun Shu put the airplane away in an uninhabited place. In the original story, Xiao Yan had spent more than seven days walking to Green Mountain Town because of his cultivation.

A normal day's walk should cover around forty kilometers. Even if a cultivator could run a little faster, say eighty kilometers, Xiao Yan would still stop along the way to cultivate. By that calculation, it would not take the airplane long to travel from near Green Mountain Town to near Wu Tan City.

If I sold this airplane, wouldn't it fetch several hundred thousand, maybe even a million Gold Coins... Yun Shu thought to himself as he walked toward Wu Tan City.

Once the airplane was nearly out of fuel, Yun Shu would take Ya Fei and the Mittel Auction House's appraiser on a test flight, letting them experience the airplane's wonders...

After all, this world had no gas stations where Yun Shu could refuel. Once it ran out of fuel, it would be useless. Besides, the airplane used aviation fuel, which was even purer than gasoline.

So once it ran out of fuel, it would be useless.

Compared with directly tossing it to the system for a Lottery draw, Yun Shu still preferred auctioning it off. After all, that would earn him more.

"Oh! I'm here!" Seeing the city gate in the distance, Yun Shu smiled faintly. After straightening his clothes, he headed into Wu Tan City.

After entering the city, Yun Shu began asking around about Xiao Yan.

"So Xiao Yan's Dou Qi has already been gone for two years..." Yun Shu sighed. That meant he could not make a move on Yao Lao.

Yao Lao had awakened two years ago. Trying to sweet-talk him now would be a good way to get himself killed.

"Then forget it. I'll live here for a while and use the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid first!" Yun Shu returned to his old trade, swiping slightly valuable items all over Xiao Family Market before reselling them...

With the money he earned, he temporarily rented a room at an inn.

Over the next two months, Yun Shu began another boring stretch of cultivation...

There was no helping it. In this world, strength was supreme. Even if it was boring, he had to cultivate. Otherwise, even the girl he liked would end up in someone else's hands. To avoid being cuckolded, he could only cultivate diligently!

Ding! Level increased!

Ding! Level increased!

Two months passed, and Yun Shu finally used up the entire bottle of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

Just as Yun Shu had expected, after cultivating with the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for two months, his Dou Qi smoothly rose to the fifth stage. He was already not far from the sixth stage. The effects of this Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid were probably even better than the one Yao Lao had refined.

Otherwise, it could not have increased Yun Shu's strength by so much.

Both Yun Shu and Xiao Yan had reached the fourth stage of Dou Qi in half a month, but Yun Shu advanced faster afterward. He took only one month to reach the fifth stage, then spent half a month consolidating his foundation to avoid having unstable Dou Qi due to advancing too quickly.

Yun Shu had cultivated for only five months and was already close to reaching the sixth stage of Dou Qi. If others learned of this rate of progress...

Yun Shu would probably be hunted down by everyone. After all, in the backwater Gama Empire on the Dou Qi Continent, how could anyone possibly advance at such a pace without using any supplementary spirit medicine?

"With this level of strength, it's time for me to visit the Monster Mountain Range!" This was the first time Yun Shu truly planned to enter the Monster Mountain Range for training.

But he could not go alone. That would be far too dangerous, so he planned to find a Mercenary Group in Wu Tan City to join.

There were quite a few mercenaries at the Dou Qi stage. The first Wood-type Magic Core Xiao Yan bought at Xiao Family Market had been obtained in the Monster Mountain Range by a group of mercenaries who were all at the Dou Qi stage.

So there should be a mercenary team willing to take someone at his Dou Qi stage.
