Chapter 9

Breaking Through to the Foundation Establishment Realm (I)

What is going on?

Jiang Chengxuan instinctively had a bad feeling.

When he lifted the restriction of the cave abode and let Xu Haichuan in, Xu Haichuan’s first sentence made Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes widened.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, my Dao companion, Hong Yan, is dead.”

Although Jiang Chengxuan had already guessed it, when he heard it from Xu Haichuan, he was still shocked.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, what exactly happened?

She was fine half a year ago. Why did she…?”

A trace of hatred flashed across Xu Haichuan’s eyes.

He said, “It’s the smiling tiger, Li Boren.

Three months ago, I went to the ruin with Hongyan and Fellow Daoist Zhang to explore. On the way, we met Li Boren.

At that time, we were already very careful, but we didn’t expect to still be set up by Li Boren.”

At this point, Xu Haichuan took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Chengxuan, continuing.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, I actually came to look for you today to ask for your help.”

“You need my help?”

Jiang Chengxuan immediately frowned.

Although he sympathized with Xu Haichuan and his wife, to be honest, he was unwilling to get involved in this.

After struggling at the bottom of the cultivation world for a hundred years, he knew very well that if he wanted to live long in this cruel cultivation world, the first and most important thing was to stay out of trouble.

Moreover, the relationship between the two sides was not that good.

Of course, even if the relationship between the two sides was really that good, Jiang Chengxuan would only avenge them in his own way.

He would definitely not take the risk easily, let alone put himself in an absolutely dangerous environment.

Seeing that Jiang Chengxuan seemed to have misunderstood, Xu Haichuan quickly explained.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, don’t misunderstand. I only wanted to borrow two talismans from you.

It would be even better if it’s high-grade Level 1 offensive talismans.

To be honest, I’m already penniless. Even if you’re willing to lend me two talismans, I might not be able to pay you back in the future.”

Therefore, if you don’t want to, I can understand.”

Hearing Xu Haichuan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan fell silent for a moment before looking at Xu Haichuan seriously.

“Brother Xu, do you have to do this?”

Seeing that Jiang Chengxuan suddenly called him Brother Xu, Xu Haichuan couldn’t help but feel touched.

He nodded with a very firm expression.

“The hatred of killing my wife is irreconcilable. Even if I die, I have to give it a try.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan knew that Xu Haichuan had made up his mind, so he did not persuade him anymore. Instead, he took out two Fire Snake Talismans, two Earth Escape Talismans, and two Water Shield Talismans from his storage bag and handed them to Xu Haichuan.

“Brother Xu, take these talismans.

That’s all I can help you with.

No matter what, try not to die.”

“Thank… thank you.”

Xu Haichuan’s voice was suddenly choked with sobs.

However, he still tried his best to control his emotions and bowed to Jiang Chengxuan gratefully.

“Brother Jiang, I will never forget your kindness.

If I’m lucky enough to survive this time, if Brother Jiang needs me to do anything, I’ll go through fire and water to do it for you!”

With that, Xu Haichuan put away the talismans and left Jiang Chengxuan’s cave abode.

Looking at Xu Haichuan’s figure gradually leaving, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

He knew that it was unlikely for Xu Haichuan to return alive.

This was how the cultivation world was.

People came and went.

Even if they were acquaintances and friends, they wouldn’t stay in each other’s life for long.

This was not the first time Jiang Chengxuan had experienced such a thing.

However, every time it happened, he would inevitably feel sad.

Next, Jiang Chengxuan continued to do his own thing.

Every day, other than accumulating and refining True Essence, he would study the other talismans in the Level 1 talisman book.

It had to be said that although this talisman book was incomplete, it was still very helpful to Jiang Chengxuan.

At least it gave him a lot of insight and experience in making Level 1 talismans.

Just like that, the days passed uneventfully.

During this period, he went out a few more times.

Firstly, he wanted to sell talismans, and secondly, he wanted to buy some materials to make talismans and ask for some information.

Two years had passed, and Jiang Chengxuan had never seen Xu Haichuan or heard anything about him.

Even the smiling tiger, Li Boren, seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

He never showed up again.

It was unknown if the two of them had perished together or if they had both left the Ganyang Market.

However, no matter what, these things did not affect Jiang Chengxuan.

At this moment, he had already placed all his energy and attention on entering the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Yes.

Just a month ago, Jiang Chengxuan felt that his True Essence and divine sense seemed to have reached a bottleneck.

No matter how he cultivated and refined the True Essence in his body, there was no increase or change.

It was like a palm-sized bottle. No matter how much water you poured into it, it could only hold so much.

The only way to break this bottleneck was to increase the size of the bottle.

At this moment.

Jiang Chengxuan sat cross-legged in his cave abode.

He had already set up a small Level 2 Spirit Gathering Array around him.

He had bought it from the Cloud Pavilion previously with more than 800 spirit stones.

This was to ensure that he had enough spiritual energy while he was attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Even if the system had bestowed him a chance to break through successfully, it was still better to be safe than sorry.

Soon.

The True Essence in Jiang Chengxuan’s body began to surge.

This was a sign that he was about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t afford to be careless and used the reward given by the system to successfully break through.

In an instant, Jiang Chengxuan felt the True Essence in his body suddenly become extremely violent.

The True Essence quickly flowed through the meridians in his entire body and finally gathered in his dantian.

Jiang Chengxuan’s expression changed slightly.

He could clearly feel that with the violent nature of the True Essence in his body, it was impossible for his dantian and meridians to withstand it.

It might even shatter him on the spot.

However, strangely, at this moment, there seemed to be an extremely mysterious power in his body.

Not only did it protect his dantian and meridians, but it also helped his dantian and meridians withstand the impact of the violent True Essence, causing his dantian and meridians to gradually become tough.

Just like that.

This chaotic state in Jiang Chengxuan’s body lasted for a week.

A week later, the violent gaseous True Essence in his body suddenly began to turn liquid.
