The news of his Foundation Establishment spread, shocking everyone. The Sky Sword Sect extended an invitation.

Wang Mengde pondered to himself.

Besides improving cultivation level, enhancing Law Technique can also rapidly increase combat power.

After he Perfection the second level of the True Myriad Beast Taming Formula, he could form contracts with two spirit beasts, and the spirit beasts and their masters would be connected by their souls.

During cultivation, spirit beasts can feed back their soul power, strengthening their master's soul.

When the master breaks through to a higher level, the spirit beast can also be nourished, strengthening its soul.

The two beasts complemented each other, greatly enhancing their souls.

As the soul is elevated, comprehension will also improve, and the speed at which one cultivates various Law Technique will increase significantly.

To the south of the Evergreen Sect and the Golden Sun Sect, there is a Golden Core sect called the Myriad Beasts Sect. The sect has many spirit beasts, including quite a few with superior aptitude.

Now that I have reached the Foundation Establishment, perhaps I can join the Myriad Beasts Sect.

Joining a Golden Core sect with a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation level isn't too difficult.

Joining the Myriad Beasts Sect not only provides a stable cultivation environment but also offers the opportunity to acquire excellent contracted spirit beasts.

Next, besides cultivating the Thunder Tempering Body Formula and the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula, I need to spend time properly cultivating the True Myriad Beast Taming Formula as soon as possible.

Cultivate it to the second level of Perfection.

Wang Mengde composed himself and continued to circulate the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment, the speed at which spiritual energy is absorbed is much slower than when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, but it is still five times faster than when reaching the Peak Qi Refinement.

Wang Mengde's eyes brightened slightly.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment, cultivating in this Spirit-Gathering Tower is far more worthwhile than before.

Spending the same number of Spirit Stones, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed was five times that of before.

At the Peak Qi Refinement, his speed of absorbing spiritual energy was already quite fast, but now, it felt like a stream had turned into a river, with spiritual energy surging in from all directions and continuously pouring into his body.

The Dao Platform in the Dantian slowly rotated, and dark golden light flowed within Dantian, like a slowly turning millstone.

True Essence surges and flows through the meridians. With each complete cycle, the Dao Platform solidifies into an extremely faint trace, and the True Essence becomes an extremely faint trace.

The growth was so slight, almost imperceptible, but Wang Mengde knew it was growing.

Little by little, day by day, it accumulates.

One week.

Two cycles.

Five cycles.

Suddenly, a line of small golden characters appeared in my mind.

[The Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula +1]

[Spirit Power Cultivation +1]

Wang Mengde opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment, cultivating in this Spirit-Gathering Tower still only requires five cycles of spiritual energy to increase one's spiritual power by one point.

He had thought that after reaching the Foundation Establishment, the number of cycles required for each point of spiritual energy would increase, but he didn't expect it to still be five cycles.

One cycle is six minutes.

Five cycles make up thirty minutes.

Half an hour, one point of spiritual energy.

There are 48 points of spiritual energy in a day with 24 hours.

One day of cultivation in the Spirit-Gathering Tower is equivalent to several months of cultivation outside.

Wang Mengde continued to circulate the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula.

One cycle after another.

Behind the counter on the first floor, the young monk kept a close eye on the situation in room 906.

He discovered that although the rate at which room 906 absorbed spiritual energy had greatly decreased, it was still five times faster than at the beginning.

The suction force was stable and continuous, unlike the violent force it had exerted when attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment. Instead, it was like a quietly flowing river, neither hurried nor impatient, yet inexhaustible.

The young cultivator's eyes widened slightly, his face filled with astonishment.

That fellow Daoist Wang Mengde has actually Foundation Establishment.

A cultivator with Five-Element Spirit Roots actually succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

The young cultivator thought for a moment, then took out a Second-Rank Beginner Voice Transmission Talisman from his Storage Bag, infused it with spiritual power, and typed the following text on the talisman. "Elder, a Rogue Cultivator named Wang Mengde has successfully Foundation Establishment. I've heard he has extremely strong Talisman talent. Should we..."

"Send someone over to invite him to join our Sky Sword Sect?"

He activated the Talisman, Talisman transformed into countless points of light and quietly dissipated.

The Sky Sword Sect is one of the five major Golden Core sects in the Blue Wave Sea. It is famous for its sword cultivation and Talisman, and there are many high-level talisman masters in the sect.

Since Wang Mengde possesses talent in Talisman and has successfully Foundation Establishment, he is exactly the kind of talent the Sky Sword Sect needs.

Soon, a Talisman in the young cultivator's arms began to heat up.

He took out Talisman, infused it with spiritual power, and a line of small characters appeared on it, the handwriting vigorous and powerful. "Tell me his detailed information."

The young cultivator took out another Voice Transmission Talisman, infused it with spiritual power, and wrote everything he knew into the talisman, "Wang Mengde, Five-Element Spirit Root, Cultivation Method the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula, was originally an outer disciple of the Evergreen Demonic Sect, later killed Alchemist Xuan Yun, the daughter of the Evergreen Demonic Sect's Grand Elder, and was wanted by the Evergreen Sect."

I've heard that he has exceptional talent in Talisman; by the time Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement, he was already a second-tier advanced talisman master.

He activated the Talisman again, and the Talisman transformed into countless points of light and dissipated.

A moment later, the reply came, "You extend the invitation; if they don't come, then forget it."

The young cultivator paused slightly.

He's just Qi Refinement Realm cultivator; isn't it a bit insincere for him to invite a Foundation Establishment True Person to join his sect?

But he dared not ask any more questions. He knew the elder's temper well; he was a man of his word. If he kept nagging, he would only displease the elder.

He sighed, put the Talisman into his Storage Bag, and continued to keep an eye on room 906.

Another eighteen hours quietly passed.

The runes on the walls of the quiet room slowly dimmed, the pale golden light gradually subsided, the spirit patterns stopped flashing, and the Spirit Gathering Formation ceased to operate.

After Wang Mengde absorbed all the remaining spiritual energy in the secret chamber, the Spirit Gathering Formation on the wall completely stopped operating.

Wang Mengde used his divine sense to observe himself.

[Qi Refinement Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Early Stage (672/100000)]

My spiritual power increased from 600 points to 672 points.

In eighteen hours, my spiritual power increased by seventy-two points.

The Dao Platform solidified slightly, and the True Essence became even more refined.

However, due to the side effects of the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula, both the Dao Platform and the True Essence were extremely hot, like iron blocks repeatedly forged by raging fire, radiating a scorching aura.

I must cultivate with Xue Linglong as soon as possible to neutralize this heat with her Yin-Nature Power; otherwise, my Dao Platform and meridians will be damaged over time.

He stood up and stretched his limbs.

The bones and muscles crackled and popped, and I felt refreshed and invigorated.

Wang Mengde stood up, took the Green Jade Slip from the groove in the wall, put it into his Storage Bag, and turned to leave the room.

He went down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor and walked toward the counter.

Upon seeing him, the young cultivator behind the counter quickly stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said respectfully, "Junior Zhou Wenyuan, congratulations to True Person Wang on successfully Foundation Establishment."

The voice wasn't loud, but the hall was quiet, and the congratulations were clearly heard by everyone present.

In the hall, there were seven or eight monks, some of whom were processing rentals at the counter, some were sitting on chairs in the corner waiting, and some had just come down from upstairs.

Upon hearing the words "Foundation Establishment Successful," everyone turned to look.

All eyes were on Wang Mengde, filled with envy, surprise, jealousy, and disbelief.

Wang Mengde has now regained his original appearance and no longer uses a mask to conceal it.

Some cultivators recognized him: Wang Mengde, the wanted criminal from the Evergreen Sect, the one with Five-Element Spirit Roots.

"Five-Element Spirit Roots, and he's actually reached Foundation Establishment?" A cultivator at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement stared wide-eyed, his mouth slightly agape, his face filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? Isn't the probability of Foundation Establishment with Five-Element Spirit Roots one in a thousand? This is too lucky." Another cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement of Qi Refining muttered to himself, his eyes full of envy.

"It's so enviable. I Four-Attribute Spirit Roots and have been stuck at the Peak Qi Refinement for three years. I haven't even touched the threshold of Foundation Establishment. He, with Five-Element Spirit Roots, has actually Foundation Establishment." A middle-aged cultivator sighed, his tone bitter.

A murmur rippled through the hall, and everyone's gaze was filled with envy and jealousy.

Foundation Establishment Five-Element Spirit Roots is extremely rare in the cultivation world.

Ignoring the discussions, Wang Mengde returned the white Jade Slip to Zhou Wenyuan and turned to leave.

Just then, Zhou Wenyuan's voice rang in his mind, a telepathic message: "Master True Person, this junior is Zhou Wenyuan, an outer disciple of the Sky Sword Sect."

Our sect's Grand Elder has heard of True Person Talisman and wishes to invite True Person to join the Sky Sword Sect.

The Sky Sword Sect is renowned for its sword cultivators and Talisman. The sect boasts many high-level talisman masters and possesses the method for drawing third-tier Talisman, making it highly suitable for a talisman master like True Person.

Wang Mengde was slightly taken aback and glanced at Zhou Wenyuan a few times.

Sky Sword Sect?

One of the five major Golden Core sects in the Blue Wave Sea, renowned for its sword cultivation and Talisman, its strength is no less than that of the Evergreen Sect.

He never expected that this person was actually a disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, and that he would take the initiative to invite him to join the Sky Sword Sect.

He thought for a moment, then transmitted his voice to the other party, "I'll consider it."

Zhou Wenyuan nodded hurriedly, then took out two Second-Rank Beginner Voice Transmission Talisman and respectfully handed them to Wang Mengde, saying in a voice transmission, "True Person have made up your mind, please contact me at any time, and I will take True Person to the Sky Sword Sect as soon as possible."

Wang Mengde put away the Voice Transmission Talisman, nodded, and turned to walk out of the Spirit-Gathering Tower.

The sunlight felt warm and comforting on my skin.

Wang Mengde took a deep breath and walked down the bluestone steps.

On the plaza outside the Spirit-Gathering Tower, several cultivators were coming and going; some were about to enter the tower to cultivate, while others had just come out of the tower.

A middle-aged monk in a gray robe was standing at the edge of the square, slowly sipping a jug of spirit wine.

Seeing Wang Mengde emerge from the Spirit-Gathering Tower, his gaze swept over Wang Mengde, then paused slightly, finding it difficult to speak.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Wang Mengde has actually Foundation Establishment.

This middle-aged cultivator was a spy from the Evergreen Sect, tasked by Zhao Tianming to keep watch on Jade Wave Island. He was to send a message as soon as Wang Mengde left Jade Wave Island.

He stared at Wang Mengde for a long time, making sure he wasn't mistaken, his eyes almost overflowing with envy and jealousy.

Foundation Establishment, huh?

The middle-aged cultivator took a deep breath, took out a Voice Transmission Talisman from his Storage Bag, and entered the information. "Deacon Zhao, Wang Mengde has Foundation Establishment."

The Voice Transmission Talisman turned into specks of light and vanished.

On the other side of the square, three rogue Rogue Cultivators at the Peak Qi Refinement Refining also noticed the Foundation Establishment aura emanating from Wang Mengde.

They were drawn here by the news released by Zhao Tianming and had been lying in wait on Jade Wave Island, waiting for the day Wang Mengde would leave the island.

The bounty of over 500,000 Spirit Stones is far too tempting.

But at this moment, they sensed the Foundation Establishment aura emanating from Wang Mengde. The three exchanged a glance and then quietly retreated.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are not people they can afford to offend.

Five hundred thousand Spirit Stones are good, but you need to be alive to spend them.

They were just Rogue Cultivators at the Peak Qi Refinement of Qi Refining; facing Foundation Establishment cultivators was tantamount to suicide.

Inside the restaurant room, Zhao Tianming sat by the window, holding a cup of spirit wine in his hand.

Hou Qing stood beside him.

Suddenly, the Voice Transmission Talisman in Zhao Tianming's arms lit up.

He took out the Talisman, infused it with spiritual power, and a line of small characters appeared before his eyes. "Deacon Zhao, Wang Mengde Foundation Establishment."

Zhao Tianming's face instantly turned ashen, and he gripped the wine glass tightly with a slight pressure, making it creak.

Wang Mengde has actually Foundation Establishment.

He possesses Five-Element Spirit Roots; how could he possibly Foundation Establishment so quickly?

Seeing Zhao Tianming's expression, Hou Qing cautiously asked, "Deacon Zhao, what's wrong?"

Zhao Tianming did not answer, but handed him the Voice Transmission Talisman.

Hou Qing took the Talisman, and his expression changed when he saw the words on it.

Wang Mengde Foundation Establishment.

That useless person with Five-Element Spirit Roots actually Foundation Establishment.

He is a cultivator with Three-Attribute Spirit Roots, but he has not yet reached the Foundation Establishment.

Wang Mengde, who possessed Five-Element Spirit Roots, actually reached the Foundation Establishment.

Envy, jealousy.

Zhao Tianming stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

Wang Mengde possessed Peak Mastery of Sword-Controlling Technique, Entwining Silk Techniques, and Water Escape Techniques, as well as a high-grade Law Artifact Flying Sword.

Now that the opponent Foundation Establishment, their combat power has greatly increased, and they are no match for most Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Even if he were to take action personally, he wouldn't be entirely confident.

Zhao Tianming thought for a moment, then took out a Voice Transmission Talisman from his Storage Bag and entered the information. "Elder, Wang Mengde has Foundation Establishment."

Please make the decision, Elder.

He activated the Voice Transmission Talisman, Talisman transformed into countless points of light that dissipated.

Wang Mengde walked out of the Spirit-Gathering Tower Square and headed straight for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion on Jade Wave Island.

He walked on the bluestone street with unhurried steps, naturally exuding the aura of someone in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, calm and profound.

The streets were bustling with people, almost all of them Qi Refinement Realm Rogue Cultivators, with the occasional Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Those Qi Refinement Realm Rogue Cultivators sensed his aura and quickly made way for him, their eyes filled with awe.

"This True Person is so handsome." A female Fifth-Level Qi Refinement Refining whispered to her companion beside her, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Don't look around. Foundation Establishment True Person have very sharp senses. Be careful not to cause trouble." Her companion quickly pulled her away.

A middle-aged cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage walked over from the opposite side. Upon seeing Wang Mengde, he nodded slightly in greeting, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Wang Mengde nodded in return, and the two passed each other.

Foundation Establishment cultivators, unless they have a grudge against each other, will generally give each other some face.

Wang Mengde arrived at the entrance of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, pushed open the door, and went inside.

The main hall of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was spacious and bright, with large pieces of green jade bricks on the floor, each one polished smooth as a mirror.

The hall was surrounded by rosewood shelves, neatly stacked with various treasures, shimmering with spiritual light, dazzling the eye.

Behind the counter stood a cultivator at the Peak Qi Refinement, wearing a dark blue robe with the logo of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion embroidered on the hem.

Sensing the Foundation Establishment aura emanating from Wang Mengde, he quickly stepped out from behind the counter, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked respectfully, "True Person, how should I address you?"

Wang Mengde glanced at him and said in a calm voice, "Just call me Fellow Daoist Wang."

The shopkeeper quickly asked, "True Person, what do you need?"

Wang Mengde cut to the chase. "Buy me a Foundation Establishment Pill."

He planned to buy Xue Linglong a Foundation Establishment Pill so that they could cultivate together once more. This would allow Xue Linglong's spiritual power to reach the Qi Refinement Limit, and refining the Foundation Establishment Pill might give her hope of Foundation Establishment.

After he Foundation Establishment, the speed at which he accumulated intense heat increased dramatically. Xue Linglong's accumulated Yin-Nature Power was definitely not enough to neutralize it.

Intensely hot.

If Xue Linglong Foundation Establishment, the speed at which she accumulates Yin-Nature Power will increase dramatically, which will assist him in cultivating the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula and rapidly improve his cultivation level.

The shopkeeper looked troubled and rubbed his hands together. "Master True Person, we're out of Foundation Establishment Pill."

The main store of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion on Myriad Treasures Island sells Foundation Establishment Pills; you can go there and take a look.

Wang Mengde looked at the shopkeeper. "Could you please arrange for some more goods to be transferred over?"

The shopkeeper nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, one Foundation Establishment Pill is currently 135,000 Spirit Stones."

After he finished speaking, he quickly explained, "True Person Wang, the price of goods has gone up. Now all the shops in the Shattered Star Archipelago are Foundation Establishment Pills at this price."

It's not that I deliberately raised the price; it's just that the supply is tight and demand exceeds supply.

Wang Mengde was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you have Foundation Condensation Pills and Spirit Stabilization Pills?"

When members of large Lineage Foundation Establishment, in addition to Foundation Establishment Pills, they are also provided with Foundation Condensation Pills and Spirit Stabilization Pills.

The Foundation Condensation Pill can be used after refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by another 10%.

The Spirit Stabilization Pill is a remedy used after a failed Foundation Establishment attempt to stabilize spiritual energy and prevent it from surging.
