Simultaneous Transmigration: We Level Up Alone Across Multiple Worlds

Chapter 4 Seeking Elixir and Foundation Building

Chen Chen pondered for a moment.

In the past three years, he has only contacted Nangong Wan a handful of times.

The message was sent directly saying, "This disciple needs a Foundation Establishment Pill."

That's shameless.

Chen Chen recalled the Ascension Ceremony he had attended before.

Behind the long table in the stone hall, Nangong Wan ate the chestnut cake in front of her the whole time.

He paid no attention to the open and covert struggles among the seven factions around him.

How about bringing a serving of chestnut cake as an excuse?

Whether Nangong Wan accepts it or doesn't touch it, the pastry itself is not important.

The chestnut cake is square in shape, with a light yellow surface and a thin layer of icing sugar sprinkled on top.

Chen Chen went to the mortal market at the foot of the mountain to get a copy.

It was wrapped in oiled paper and tied with a thin hemp rope.

Remove the token before the restriction is applied.

"Come in."

It was brighter inside the cave than outside.

The luminous pearl on the stone wall lost its color in the daytime light, leaving only a blurry, soft halo.

Nangong Wan sat behind the stone table, with a scroll spread out in front of her and several jade slips floating in mid-air.

Chen Chen finished bowing.

First, place the oil paper package on a corner of the stone table.

Nangong Wan's gaze naturally shifted to the oil paper package. She looked up at Chen Chen and slightly raised her eyebrows.

"What is it?"

"Chestnut cake. I saw Master eat it at the Ascension Ceremony three years ago, so I suppose Master liked it."

"You came all this way just to deliver this?"

It seems that was the right thing to do; Nangong Wan did indeed fall for it, which was tantamount to giving her a way out.

"Of course, it can't be hidden from Master."

Nangong Wan put away the oil paper package, nodded slightly, and for the first time felt that her taciturn apprentice had made some progress.

"Speak."

"This disciple has been in the Qi Refining stage for some time now. Please, Master, bestow upon me a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Nangong Wan only realized what was happening after hearing this, and then she took a serious look at Chen Chen's cultivation level.

It's brimming with spiritual energy and possesses profound magical power; it seems it's been holding back for a long time.

"How long has it been?"

"About half a month."

"You should have come to see me two weeks ago, why did you wait until today?"

Chen Chen spoke the truth directly: "I originally wanted to accumulate some contribution points before speaking up, but my spiritual energy was already overflowing from my meridians when I was adjusting my breathing yesterday, so I can't wait any longer."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan immediately frowned in displeasure and crossed her arms.

"In your eyes, am I really that unreliable?"

"..."

When Nangong Wan saw that Chen Chen did not reply, she realized that she had not paid much attention to this disciple in the past three years.

Now it seems that not only does he cultivate diligently, but he also... knows how to take care of his master's feelings.

It seems that my senior sister back then...

Upon thinking of this, Nangong Wan's relaxed expression immediately turned ugly.

For some reason, my relationship with my senior sister has been getting worse and worse over the years. Last time, she even used the excuse of going into seclusion to shut me out.

Forget it...

No matter what, we can't involve this little guy.

"I have Foundation Establishment Pills. You can exchange them for them at full price using your contribution points, or I can have them on credit guaranteed by my master, and you can pay the rest later. Which do you want?"

"This disciple has made sufficient contributions; this trip is also to seek Master's opinion."

Chen Chen watched as Nangong Wan changed three expressions in three seconds in front of him, and he was unsure of what to do. He decided to just take the things and leave.

Women...ah...

Nangong Wan took out a cyan jade bottle from her storage bracelet and placed it on the stone table.

"it is good."

Chen Chen took the medicine bottle and put it into his sleeve.

After the important matter was discussed, the cave was quiet for a few moments.

Nangong Wan has picked up the scroll again.

Chen Chen stood up and bowed.

"Master, this disciple takes his leave."

Nangong Wan didn't raise her head.

"Um."

Chen Chen responded and turned to walk out.

Back in the cave.

The seals on the stone gates were fully lifted, and the spirit-gathering array was set to its maximum.

The medicine bottle was opened, and there was only one Foundation Building Pill inside, with a faint purple glow emanating from the bottle opening.

When you get close, a spicy sensation rushes into your nostrils, and your tongue feels tight.

He sat cross-legged on the stone bed.

I have gone through the cultivation route of the Heavenly Heart Kan One Technique countless times in my consciousness, and the dual attributes of metal and water spiritual energy are flowing alternately in my meridians.

He raised his hand, tilted his head back, and swallowed the pill.

The medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill, along with all the spiritual energy in the meridians, was compressed from the dantian to the limbs and bones.

The pressure on the meridians suddenly increased, and a persistent dull pain radiated outwards along the meridian pathways from the dantian to the chest, and from the chest to the fingertips.

Metal generates water, and water nourishes metal; the medicinal properties drive these two attributes to move forward alternately.

The spiritual energy within the meridians begins to undergo a qualitative change during compression, gradually becoming more viscous and concentrated.

Each time you complete a full cycle of spiritual energy, the volume of the energy decreases and the density increases.

In the end, a mass of spiritual energy condensation, many times thicker than before, appeared in his dantian.

The sinking sensation spread from the dantian to the limbs, and spiritual energy surged through the meridians.

Chen Chen opened his eyes.

The spirit-gathering array was still operating, but the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave had decreased somewhat compared to before.

Outside the skylight, a blinding midday white expanse stretched out.

……

……

The scimitar was drawn.

The Golden Qi Slash was attached to the blade, running diagonally upwards from the soft scales on the Iron Claw Hedgehog's lower jaw.

The incision was shallow, just enough to sever the spine.

Pfft!

Chen Chen shook off the blood from the knife, squatted down, and severed the head from the jaw joint with a single stroke, dismembering the corpse and storing it in his storage bag.

The first battle after Foundation Establishment.

Even those in the Qi Refining stage would have to avoid this thing, but now, the ambush and the kill can be done in a matter of moments.

However, it was already quite late, so I found an old camphor tree, as thick as a man's embrace, at the edge of the woods to spend the night, and will hand in the task tomorrow.

Chen Chen planted battle flags around the camphor tree.

He was thinking about the arrangements to come.

I need to get some detoxification pills myself, at least the kind used during the Core Formation stage. The raw materials aren't cheap, and the success rate of refining pills will increase after I reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

It won't take long.

Having already established his foundation, he no longer needs to enter the Crimson Forbidden Zone.

However, Nangong Wan will suppress her cultivation level to enter later, as the poison of the black dragon cannot be cured by ordinary pills.

Prepare antidotes in advance to avoid this pitfall.

After thinking it over, Chen Chen sat down cross-legged, leaning his back against the tree trunk, and began to cultivate his magic power.

Consciousness suddenly drowned.

The soles of my feet lost their solid feel.

The gray fog surged in from all directions, thicker and heavier than the first time.

Hyuga Dust was the first to emerge from the mist.

The two exchanged glances for a moment, just as they were about to speak.

The gray fog rolled deeper and deeper.

An unfamiliar figure emerged from the gray fog, dressed in a dark-colored stand-up collar uniform.

Memories are synchronized in the fog.

Tian Zechen frowned slightly and raised his hand to his forehead.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chen, an ordinary mortal, finally understood the feelings of the other two at that time.

Tian Zechen first looked down at his hands.

"What's the name of your technique?"

"Resurrection".

Tian Zechen, who had initially thought he had been pulled into the domain of some cursed spirit, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It can transform negative energy into positive energy, or life energy, in real time."

Hyuga Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly quite interested in the technique.

"Side effects..."

Tian Zechen closed his palms, extinguishing the light between his fingers.

"All those cool spells are irrelevant to me now. Exorcising cursed spirits can only be done with my fists. I'm just a melee brute now."

The mortal Chen Chen asked, "Positive energy? That probably involves body tempering, right?"

Tian Zechen clenched his fist, and his knuckles cracked.

"But my original spell power was too weak, so my efficiency was always low."

"Now..."

After the reunion, his magical energy capacity increased dramatically, and his body-tempering efficiency followed suit. The slow, leisurely progress of four years in tempering his bones and tendons might now accelerate to a speed that even he himself hadn't anticipated.

"When I get back, I'll find that white-haired guy and try punching him. If I can't hurt him, I'll write my name backwards."
