Chapter 253: Foundation Establishment Realm

Qin Ming put away the jade slip and then secretly pondered his subsequent plans.

‘Now that the pill recipe is in hand, this avatar of Yu Changqing can basically be discarded.’

‘But it seems I need to be more natural, not letting Mysterious Stream Valley detect any anomalies.’

‘Liang Kingdom’s cultivation resources are abundant, so it’s better to collect all the spirit materials needed for refining the Golden Core Pill and then return to Wei Kingdom.’

‘I already have the spirit seeds of the two most difficult main ingredients, the Fiery Golden Lotus and the Still Dark True Yin Flower. According to the records on the pill recipe, I still need thirty-four auxiliary materials, including a dozen Third-Grade Spiritual Materials.’

‘In addition, I can now investigate the place where the Hooked Jade Golden Light Mirror’s spirit is hidden, according to the Copper Mirror’s records.’

‘However, the Beast Tide has started again during this time, so let’s wait and see for now.’

After some pondering, Qin Ming had already made his plans for the future.

During this period, his cultivation hadn’t fallen behind. Under the blessing of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Body, even though he was only in a Second-Grade Upper-Quality Spiritual Vein, he was already at the edge of a Breakthrough Foundation Establishment Realm.

Time passed, spring turned to winter.

It had been exactly a year since Qin Ming joined Mysterious Stream Valley.

The Purple Crystal Spirit Rice and Second-Grade Spirit Grass in the Jade Bamboo Forest were all mature.

On this day, it was also time to deliver the Guest Elder’s task at the Spirit Herb Garden.

Qin Ming called Yan Ruyan, and had her harvest all the Spirit Rice.

Under his guidance, the harvest of Purple Crystal Spirit Rice this year was remarkable, with a total of thirty-five stones.

Qin Ming himself collected the Second-Grade Spirit Herb in front of the wooden house.

By the way, he harvested a few 【 Accelerate Ripening 】 Attributes.

“Elder Yu, if there’s nothing else, then this junior will go back to the Deacon’s Hall to hand in the task.”

After harvesting the Spirit Rice, Yan Ruyan was also relieved. After working hard for a whole year, she could finally receive the task reward.

“Hmm, wait a moment.” Qin Ming faintly stopped her.

Yan Ruyan stood there upon hearing this. She didn’t know what else Elder Yu had to say. Was it dissatisfaction with her performance this year?

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but start to feel nervous again.

But the next moment.

Qin Ming took out one stone from the Purple Crystal Spirit Rice and handed it to her, saying: “This is the result of your labor.”

Yan Ruyan was stunned; she could hardly believe it.

She felt slightly touched. Although this Elder Yu was usually a bit impersonal, he had also given her a lot of guidance.

Otherwise, with her Spirit Plant Level, how could she successfully grow such a large yield of Purple Crystal Spirit Rice.

In this respect, she still greatly admired Elder Yu.

Yan Ruyan respectfully received the Purple Crystal Spirit Rice, bit her red lips, and bowed deeply to thank: “This junior thanks Elder Yu for the reward!”

“This is what you deserve. Alright, you can leave now.” Qin Ming said faintly.

……

On the summit of Little Spirit Mountain.

Qin Ming, with the Spirit Rice and Spirit Herbs, prepared to go to the Spirit Herb Garden Deacon’s Hall to hand in the task.

He had just arrived halfway when he saw Di Shan, who was fat, with a big belly, walking towards him.

Di Shan’s entire complexion was ruddy, and it seemed that this year’s harvest was good. He asked Qin Ming: “Fellow Daoist Yu, your harvest is quite good, isn’t it? Is it enough to complete the Sect’s task?”

“So-so.” Qin Ming replied indifferently.

Di Shan was slightly proud, and said: “Cough! This year, this Old Man harvested only thirty stones of Spirit Rice, as well as twelve stalks of Second-Grade Low-Grade Spirit Grass, and a stalk of High-Grade Second-Grade Mid-Grade Spirit Herb.”

“Completing the Guest Elder’s task should be more than enough, haha!”

Qin Ming ignored the other party, and the two of them entered the Great Hall of the Spirit Herb Garden one after another.

There were already many people waiting inside, and Elder Xu was sitting in the Head Seat in the Great Hall.

After everyone was gathered, they began to hand in the Spirit Rice and Spirit Plants one by one, and there were special Deacons in the Spirit Herb Garden responsible for registration.

After Di Shan handed in the task, he obtained more than two thousand Contribution Points, raised his chin towards Qin Ming, and was quite proud.

After the Guest Elders in front handed in their tasks one after another, it was finally Qin Ming’s turn.

“Yu Changqing, Guest Elder, thirty stones of Purple Crystal Spirit Rice, sixteen stalks of Second-Grade Low-Grade Spirit Plants, and one stalk of Top Grade Second-Grade Mid-Grade Spirit Plant.”

The Deacon in charge of registration slowly announced Qin Ming’s harvest this year in front of everyone.

Just this one Spirit Plant alone surpassed all the Spirit Herbs submitted by everyone.

Even Elder Xu in the Head Seat rarely showed a satisfied expression when he heard the Top Grade level of Second-Grade Mid-Grade Spirit Plant.

“How is that possible?!”

Di Shan widened his eyes not far away, his face filled with disbelief.

He clearly only saw this ‘Yu Changqing’, this Old Fellow, working sporadically, how could he cultivate a Top Grade level Second-Grade Mid-Grade Spirit Herb?

This Old Fellow wouldn’t have bought a stalk to make up the numbers, right?

But that wouldn’t make sense either, because the price of a Top Grade level Second-Grade Mid-Grade Spirit Plant was not cheap, and it was even less possible to cheat under the eyes of Mysterious Stream Valley.

Di Shan was depressed for a while, and watched as ‘Yu Changqing’ was rewarded by Elder Xu with more than five thousand Contribution Points, more than twice his own.

Just then.

Yu Changqing showed him a meaningful smile, and Di Shan’s complexion immediately looked like a tipped-over sauce jar, which was quite wonderful.

After the Guest Elders handed in their tasks, Elder Xu gave everyone some encouragement, and then the meeting was adjourned.

On his way back, Qin Ming didn’t expect Elder Xu to be so generous, and he was rewarded with more than five thousand Contribution Points at once.

“More than five thousand Contribution Points, I won’t be in Mysterious Stream Valley soon, it would be a pity not to spend them.”

Then, he flew towards Qianyuan Peak.

When he arrived at the Deacon’s Hall, the Middle-aged Cultivator still received him.

“Elder Yu, I wonder if you are here to release a task or?”

“I’m here to exchange for Cultivation Resources. I wonder what can be exchanged?” Qin Ming asked.

The Middle-aged Cultivator immediately took out a jade slip and handed it to him, explaining: “The resources that can be exchanged vary depending on the amount of Contribution Points. Take a look.”

Qin Ming immediately took the jade slip and looked at it.

Mysterious Stream Valley was indeed the first Great Sect in Liang Kingdom, with a profound Foundation. As long as the Contribution Points were enough, even Core Formation Spirit Items, and resources such as the Golden Core Pill could be exchanged.

It’s just that these kinds of restricted resources not only required the identity of a Core Disciple or higher, but the required Sect Contribution Points started at millions of points.

If you haven’t made a huge contribution to Mysterious Stream Valley, and it’s the kind that will be recorded in history, you almost don’t have to think about it.

After browsing through the jade slip, Qin Ming’s gaze fell on the resources that could be exchanged for five thousand Contribution Points.

After a moment, Qin Ming’s eyes lit up, and he took a liking to one of them.

“That’s it, a drop of Fiery Sun Spiritual Milk.”

The Middle-aged Cultivator in charge of the reception at the Deacon’s Hall was stunned, and then kindly reminded him: “Elder Yu, this Fiery Sun Spiritual Milk is used to improve the Magical Power of Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators. If the cultivation is not enough, it will burn the Meridians, which is counterproductive.”

“No problem, this Old Man has other uses.” Qin Ming said faintly.

“Er… So that’s how it is.”

“Elder Yu, please wait a moment, I’ll have someone go to the warehouse to get it right away.”

Then, the Middle-aged Cultivator took Qin Ming’s Elder Token and deducted five thousand Contribution Points.

After a moment, the people in the Deacon’s Hall delivered a jade bottle of Jade Green to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming put away the things and left the Deacon’s Hall.

“This Elder Yu is really generous! He is willing to spend so many Contribution Points at once.” The Middle-aged Cultivator muttered, looking at ‘Elder Yu’s’ departing figure.

……

Qin Ming was also quite surprised, and he didn’t expect to have this harvest.

“With this drop of Spiritual Milk, perhaps I can try to Breakthrough Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Half a Month later.

Qin Ming casually accepted a Patrol task on the Main Peak and took the opportunity to leave Mysterious Stream Valley.

He rode on a Silver-Winged Frost Bee, heading straight for Moyuan Immortal City, unleashing a True Demon Illusion, disguised as a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Free Cultivator, renting a Third-Grade Low-Grade Spirit Vein Cave, and preparing to secretly Breakthrough.

Qin Ming released all three Spirit Pets to protect him.

Then he took out the drop of Fiery Sun Spiritual Milk and swallowed it in one gulp.

Boom!

A stream of scorching Flood exploded in his body.

Qin Ming’s Physical Strength, which was extraordinary, was naturally not afraid of the Spiritual Milk burning his Meridians.

Then he activated the 《 Ancient Wood Longevity Technique 》, guiding the energy in the Spiritual Milk to circulate through his Zhou Tian.

Before long, the Azure Liquid Spiritual Power in Qin Ming’s Qi Sea and Dantian began to circulate along the predetermined route.

The Silver Rune formed by the Ancient Wood Evergreen Spirit Body appeared in his Eyebrow Center.

Above the Sky, a massive Spiritual Energy Vortex formed, and they rushed into Qin Ming’s body.

These Spiritual Energies from Heaven and Earth were all transformed into Pure Azure Liquid Magical Power through the transformation of the Spiritual Body, and merged into the Magical Power Sea.

This Strange Phenomenon of Heaven and Earth naturally attracted the attention of the Cultivators nearby.

“Look! Someone is impacting their Cultivation Realm.”

“Judging by the scale of this Spiritual Energy, they should be Breakthrough Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“Hiss! Is Moyuan Immortal City going to have another Foundation Establishment Realm Great Cultivator?”

“It seems so. I don’t know which Senior is it.”

“I’ll go visit them later.”

The environment of the Spirit Vein in Moyuan Immortal City was good, and every year there were Cultivators renting Immortal’s Cave to Breakthrough, so the Cultivators here were not surprised.

However, the Great Cultivators who could successfully Breakthrough Foundation Establishment Realm were still in the extreme minority.

While they envied, they also couldn’t help discussing and wondering which family’s Old Ancestor had obtained an Opportunity to Breakthrough.

Inside the Immortal’s Cave.

Boom!

The Magical Power Sea in Qin Ming’s body reached a Critical Point, and then suddenly expanded by more than a half.

A massive Magical Power Fluctuation suddenly Descend in the Immortal’s Cave, Resonating with the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth.

“Finally, Foundation Establishment Realm!”

“This Fiery Sun Spiritual Milk is worthy of being the unique Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure of Mysterious Stream Valley!”

Qin Ming opened his Pitch Black eyes, and two paths of Azure Green Light gradually converged in his eyes.

This time he Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Realm, everything went smoothly, and there was almost no Bottleneck.

Qin Ming felt the abundant Magical Power in his body, comparable to that of an Early-Stage Golden Core Old Ancestor, and was immediately Proud.

His Lifespan also increased by another fifty years.

The Divine Sense’s radiation Scope also increased to a hundred-mile Scope, comparable to a Mid-Golden Core Old Ancestor.

At this point, Qin Ming was only one step away from the Golden Core Great Dao.

“I have already obtained the Golden Core Formation, and next I can prepare for Core Formation.”
