Killing for Treasure

After Ye Qin slashed through his neck with a sword, he put away the weapon and calmly revealed a trace of coldness. "Everything you thought of, I thought of too. While taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, I don't want any accidents to happen."

As for whether the pill was genuine or whether Zhao Ke had used it to trick him, Ye Qin was not worried.

If this had not been Zhao Ke's first time coming to find him, that possibility might have existed. But since this was presumably their first meeting, it should only have been a coincidence. Given Zhao Ke's arrogance, he could not possibly have produced a Foundation Establishment Pill right away just to harm him.

After all, that would have cost him something too.

Foundation Establishment Pills were exceedingly rare and had to be bought with Spirit Stones. Even Inner Disciples could not receive them as benefits, let alone Outer Disciples. Aside from their daily food and expenses, they basically had not a shred of cultivation resources. That was also why Ye Qin had gone to such lengths to gather resources in the Southern Song spacetime.

After dealing with Zhao Ke's corpse, Ye Qin returned indoors and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion. He opened the porcelain bottle with one hand. "Is this the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

A pale-yellow pill appeared inside the porcelain bottle. It was about the size of a little finger's fingernail, and a refreshing fragrance rushed into his nose. Stirred by the scent, Ye Qin felt refreshed and invigorated, as though he were floating toward immortality.

"I wonder whether I can successfully establish my foundation after taking it?" Though the chances of success were said to be seventy percent, there was still a thirty-percent possibility of failure.
