Ya Ya's Foundation Establishment

The materials for Jade Marrow Pill were not plentiful, and Chen Nianzhi only refined two batches. Fortunately, the two batches produced a total of eleven Jade Marrow Pill, which was a pleasant surprise.

After refining these pills, he didn't linger. He flew back to Qingyuan Mountain on his sword and hung these Tier 2 Precious Pill in the clan's treasury.

Upon learning this, the elders of the Lineage who had enough merit points quickly and happily exchanged them for Precious Pill. Those who had insufficient merit points, such as Nianzhen and Nianfeng, also sought out elders to borrow from each other.

These treasures are simply too tempting. For example, the Jade Marrow Pill costs two thousand Spirit Stone to buy outside, but within the Lineage, it can be exchanged for merit points equivalent to only one thousand two hundred Spirit Stone.

The Qingyuan Pill only costs 1,600 merit points. This is the biggest advantage for cultivators in high-level immortal clans. They prioritize using good items at low prices to train their own people, and only sell them at high prices when there are no other options.

Those Rogue Cultivator who want to buy these treasures not only need to pay high prices, but they also often find themselves without any way to purchase them. Back then, Chen Nianzhi flew tens of thousands of miles to Jiaoyang Mountain in Yang Province just to buy a Qingyuan Pill.

"Jade Marrow Pill, Qingyuan Pill"

"I am on the verge of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage."

Chen Qinghao immediately exchanged one Jade Marrow Pill for two more Qingyuan Pill, and couldn't help but say excitedly.

He broke through to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer a few years ago, and thought it would take him another seven or eight years to reach the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. He never expected that happiness would come so suddenly.

With the Jade Marrow Pill and two Qingyuan Pill, he was already 60-70% confident in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Thinking of this, he excitedly grasped Chen Nianzhi's hand and said gratefully, "This time, you and the clan leader risked your lives fighting the Demon Race at the front, while we reaped the benefits from the rear."

"I am truly unworthy of this honor."

"Uncle Qing Hao, you flatter me." Chen Nianzhi helped him up and said with a smile, "Without you guarding the rear, how can we go to war with peace of mind?"

"If you want to help us, you should focus on your cultivation. If you can break through to the Purple Mansion Realm in the future, perhaps you can be of some help to me."

Chen Nianzhi was well aware of his current situation. His cultivation speed was equivalent to that of Three Element Spiritual Root, far inferior to that of Chen Qinghao and the Old Clan Leader, who were Two Element Spiritual Root cultivators.

A cultivator with Three Element Spiritual Root in the Purple Mansion, if they only have one Life-bound Magical Treasure and do not rely on external objects for cultivation, will generally break through one level of cultivation in forty years.

However, once he has mastered the Heavenly River Ren-Water Sword, he will already possess four Life-bound Magical Treasure, which will greatly slow down his cultivation speed. Each level of cultivation that takes forty years will become a full cycle of sixty years.

Each Tier 3 Spirit Peach can increase one's cultivation by ten years, and one can refine one peach every three years. Therefore, it will take him about eighteen years to break through to the next level of cultivation.

The cultivation speed of the Purple Mansion with Two Element Spiritual Root is much faster. Generally speaking, Old Clan Leader with Two Element Spiritual Root and only one Life-bound Magical Treasure Purple Mansion like the old patriarch would break through a small realm in about thirty years if he did not use external objects to accelerate his cultivation.

With Chen Nianzhi's full support, the Old Clan Leader, using the Spirit Peach and other resources to cultivate, will probably only need about ten years to break through to the first level of the Purple Mansion realm.

It is foreseeable that the Old Clan Leader's cultivation speed in the Purple Mansion Realm will be faster than Chen Nianzhi's, and even Chen Qinghao and the others will be able to do so.

However, the Old Clan Leader's foundation is not as strong as Chen Nianzhi's, and his chances of breaking through to the Golden Core realm stage are only 10%. Even with the help of Core Formation treasure, his chances are probably only 30%, which is still too low.

Chen Nianzhi was at least 30% certain that his foundation would allow him to break through to the Golden Core realm stage, and several of his Life-bound Magical Treasure further refined his Law Power Law Power, making it even purer.

In particular, the ability of the Ren-Water Azure Lotus Platform to store Law Power increases his chances of breaking through to the Golden Core realm by 20%, so even without external aids, his chances are at least 60%.

Although the Old Clan Leader's cultivation speed was faster, he needed to recuperate for thirty years after failing to break through to the Golden Core realm stage.

If one is unlucky, or lacks perseverance, foundation, or purity of Law Power, one will end up like Old Patriarch Mo was in the False Core realm, having exhausted hundreds of years of accumulation and attempted several breakthroughs, only to fall short at the final step.

Therefore, relatively speaking, Chen Nianzhi's future is much brighter.

For Chen Qinghao, he is now debt-free and carefree. He cultivates extremely diligently and is also Two Element Spiritual Root. He is also currently relying on the wealthy Purple Mansion Immortal Clan.

At this rate of cultivation, perhaps in another thirty years or so, when he is in his 120s, he will be able to begin his attempt to reach the Purple Mansion Realm, which would be more than ten years younger than when the Old Clan Leader first attempted to reach the Purple Mansion.

Getting back to the main point, after Chen Nianzhi distributed the treasures, she flew back to Spirit Isle Lake on her sword.

As soon as he returned to Spirit Isle Lake, he saw a vortex of Spiritual Qi rising, and an aura was gradually growing stronger.

Who is Foundation Establishment?

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered, narrowing slightly, before she landed on the Lakeheart Island sword.

Xian Yan was guarding outside the Spirit Pool, glanced at him and quickly came forward.

"Uncle."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, then asked with some concern, "Is it Ya Ya?"

"Hmm." Chen Xianyan nodded, tugging at her clothes, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, Ya Ya has passed the most crucial step and has now successfully Foundation Establishment."

"This girl."

Chen Nianzhi felt both relieved and apprehensive.

Although there are quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Lineage, none of them dare to say that they can reliably break through to the Purple Mansion.

Not only does Variant Spirit Root greatly increase one's chances of breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm, but it also increases the chances of breaking through to the Core Formation by 20%. This is almost equivalent to consuming a Golden-Core Formation Pill, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a seed for Core Formation.

The entire Three Provinces under the Azure Sun Sect's jurisdiction, including the Azure Sun Sect, only have five or six individuals with Variant Spirit Root, demonstrating the rarity of such geniuses.

If Ya Ya die at the threshold of Foundation Establishment, it would not only be a tragic loss for a prodigy, but also a tremendous loss for the entire Border Province.

Besides, he had spent many years with Ya Ya, and she was the little girl he had raised himself. If she were to pass away like this, he would be heartbroken for a long time.

As the vortex of Spiritual Qi gradually disappeared, Chen Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, finally having successfully Foundation Establishment.

Knowing that Chen Nianzhi had returned, Ya Ya immediately emerged from her seclusion after Ya Ya breakthrough and ran up to him affectionately.

"Uncle, I've already Self-Foundation Establishment. Aren't I amazing?"

"Silly girl."

Chen Nianzhi rubbed her head, a look of relief on his face. With her Variant Spirit Root Self-Foundation Establishment, Ya Ya's future was likely to be quite bright.

As a reward, Chen Nianzhi gave Ya Ya several Higher Vehicle Law Treasure, and even spent two months drawing three precious third-tier spirit talismans from the leather of the captured Purple Mansion Demon Python for her self-defense.
