He was simply curious whether the Foundation Establishment Pill from the Eclosion Sect in the Great Primordial World had the same effect as the Foundation Establishment Pill in the Mortal World—whether it could help him establish his foundation and become a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
If so, he wouldn't need to find a way to get a Foundation Establishment Pill from this world in order to establish his foundation and become a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
As for the difference between a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator and someone in the Divine Ability Secret Realm, he didn't want to look into that just yet.
For now, he needed to get a cultivation method first. If he could use spells while still in the Body Tempering Realm, he was sure to gain a considerable advantage over the outer and inner disciples of the Eclosion Sect.
Of course, he wouldn't reveal his abilities until he had enough power to protect himself, unless absolutely necessary.
After all, compared with the Mortal World, the Great Primordial World was a world that truly "devoured people." The way to rapidly advance one's cultivation was—eat, eat, eat!
Eating was still the answer. Fang Han had advanced from the Body Tempering Realm to the Longevity Secret Realm in just a few short years and even ascended to the Immortal Realm by doing one thing: eating, eating, eating!
He turned everything belonging to his enemies into his own, making it nourishment for his cultivation.
The only one who could keep pace with him in the early stages was his elder sister, the reincarnation of Electric Mother Heavenly Lord: Fang Qingxue.
However, there was one thing Fang Yu didn't understand. Had Han Li obtained the Heaven-Palm Bottle again? Otherwise, how could Han Li cultivate so quickly with his aptitude? Or had he come across some other opportunity?
But that had little to do with him. The Heaven-Palm Bottle, the greatest opportunity of all, was already in his hands. He wasn't particularly interested in whatever opportunity Han Li might have found.
As for the grievances and entanglements involving the Mo Residence, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
"Brother Fang Han, what are you thinking about? I'm done eating. Let's go!"
Suddenly, the blue-robed Meng Shan the Third interrupted Fang Yu's thoughts.
At that, just as Fang Yu was about to get up and leave, he glanced out the window and saw a familiar scene.
Mo Yuzhu and the others rode up and stopped in front of the Mo Residence. She then reached up, removed the cloak from her head, and revealed a breathtakingly beautiful face before lightly leaping down from her horse.
Although they weren't very close, Fang Yu's eyesight, given his current cultivation, was naturally far superior to that of an ordinary mortal. He could see Mo Yuzhu clearly at a glance: skin crystalline as snow, a delicate, straight nose, bright black eyes, and alluring, ruby-red lips...
She truly deserved to be called a peerless beauty, one whose looks could make fish sink and flowers blush, the moon hide and geese fall. She was only slightly less beautiful than Fang Qingwei.
But compared with Fang Qingxue, the gap was more than slight. So, to Fang Yu, she still held little appeal. After a brief moment of surprise, he looked away. Meanwhile, the blue-robed Meng Shan the Third beside him exclaimed with delight.
"So this is Mo Yuzhu! No wonder all the young masters in Auspicious Origin City have gone crazy over her. She really is a beauty who could topple a city, with looks that could outshine the whole realm. What a pity she's a mortal."
"Mm. All right, Third Brother, let's go."
Fang Yu nodded in agreement and urged him on.
Third Brother was what the blue-robed man had told Fang Yu to call him. As he'd put it, Fang Yu would sooner or later be part of the cultivation world, and since he was a little younger, calling him Third Brother was enough; there was no need to call him Immortal Master or anything like that.
Fang Yu naturally had no objections and readily agreed.
"Good. By my reckoning, Big Brother and Second Brother should be back soon. I hope they managed to get you the Thunder Attribute Basic Cultivation Method. Otherwise, things will get troublesome. You might have to go to the markets run by the various sects. If that happens, you'll probably miss the Ascension Conference."
The blue-robed Meng Shan the Third stood up and nodded.
"No matter. If I miss it, I miss it. As long as I can become a cultivator, that's enough," Fang Yu said with a smile.
Compared with the others, he felt more goodwill toward the blue-robed man and quite admired his personality, especially since the man was such a glutton.
That made him even easier to like.
"That won't do. Without a Foundation Establishment Pill, even a Thunder Attribute Heterogeneous Spiritual Root won't let you establish your foundation. And only the seven great cultivation sects have Foundation Establishment Pills. Loose cultivators can get one only by taking part in the Ascension Conference."
"Big Brother also said that most of the ten spots the seven sects offer at the Ascension Conference are taken by the various cultivation clans. For loose cultivators, getting one is as hard as climbing to heaven, and even he doesn't have much confidence."
"I heard that in the last arena tournament, more than a dozen cultivators at the tenth level died. There was even a pair of powerful cultivators at the eleventh level who ran into each other and ended up killing each other! As for cultivators at the ninth and eighth levels, even more died in the arena—people said there were at least a hundred. After all, by the final rounds, no one would easily give up the path to becoming a dragon that was within their grasp. The casualties were even worse then!"
"But you have a Thunder Attribute Heterogeneous Spiritual Root. Once you've made a little progress in cultivation, every sect will fight to recruit you. As long as you reach the eleventh or twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage, you'll get a Foundation Establishment Pill."
The blue-robed Meng Shan the Third spoke with undisguised envy.
"Mm! Third Brother, don't worry. I'll never forget the kindness you've shown me these past few days," Fang Yu said, nodding as he promised again.
"Good. As long as you remember. Come on, let's head back."
The smile on the blue-robed Meng Shan the Third's face grew broader.
Then the two of them got up to leave, while Han Li had already slipped away unnoticed.
It looked as though the blue-robed Meng Shan the Third had frightened him badly.
Could he have gotten another Heaven-Palm Bottle?
Thinking of Han Li's Qi Refining Stage cultivation, Fang Yu wondered to himself. But it had little to do with him. He already had the Heaven-Palm Bottle in his hands.
At the very least, it was a treasure on the level of an immortal artifact in the Eternal Life World. He simply couldn't unleash its power yet.
Half an hour later, when the two returned to the rented courtyard, things were just as the blue-robed Meng Shan the Third had predicted: Meng Shan the First and Meng Shan the Second were back.
"Greetings, Immortal Masters. Thank you both for your great kindness."
As soon as he saw them, Fang Yu stepped forward, bowed, and thanked them.
"This is the Thunder Attribute cultivation method Big Brother and I got for you. It's called the Thunder Spirit Art. It also contains several Thunder Attribute spells that will be useful to you. Hurry and start cultivating. Once you've cultivated True Essence and reached the first or second level, you'll be able to use spirit stones to cultivate. That'll help you advance faster."
Meng Shan the Second handed Fang Yu a book with a silver-white cover, urging him on with an unmistakable note of urgency.
"Thank you, Immortal Master. I'll start cultivating right away."
At that, Fang Yu's brows lifted and his eyes flickered. He quickly accepted the cultivation method and respectfully thanked him, then hurried back to his room.
He entered the room's hidden chamber. The reason he'd chosen this room was that it had a secret chamber where he could cultivate without worrying about being watched.
The Breath Concealment Technique at the Qi Refining Stage was useless for concealing the aura of the Body Tempering Realm. Fang Yu had tested that himself, making Meng Shan the Third use a low-grade, mid-tier talisman. The man had been heartbroken over it.
I wonder whether this Foundation Establishment Pill will work with this cultivation method.
Fang Yu carefully took a Foundation Establishment Pill from his robes and swallowed it. Only then did he open the cultivation manual.
