After questioning him for quite some time, everyone learned only that Liu Changxu had successfully reached foundation establishment after taking a Foundation Establishment Pill he had found.
As for why Liu Changxu's cultivation had advanced so quickly, everyone assumed he must have relied on swallowing pills.
Only Huang Tianjie and his two companions thought otherwise. All three could sense the formidable power within Liu Changxu, which gave him an extremely dangerous air.
The three knew that a cultivator could not possibly reach foundation establishment at such a young age simply by swallowing pills. If that were possible, wouldn't geniuses be as common as weeds?
The three grew even more interested in Liu Changxu. They had not come to Eastern Splendor Province merely to wander around; they had come with a mission.
Still, they said nothing about it that day and simply got acquainted with him. There would be plenty of time ahead!
After the co-wife banquet ended, Liu Changxu stayed in Eastern Splendor City for another two days, taking his wife, Li Zhenxin, shopping throughout the city.
At the Azure Cloud Pavilion, he spent twenty thousand spirit stones on a second-tier formation, the Profound Origin Blackwater Formation, intending to install it on Jade Bamboo Island.
He also purchased some second-tier talisman paper. Since second-tier talisman paper was generally made from the hides of second-tier demon beasts, Liu Changxu did not yet know how to make it.
Two days of shopping soon emptied Liu Changxu's pockets. With no other choice, he ended his shopping and prepared to return to Peach Blossom Mountain with his wife and daughter.
Before leaving the Li Household, Liu Changxu made a point of leaving plenty of spiritual resources for his mother-in-law. Over those few days, his daughter Liu Jiao had also grown close to Madam Wang.
