A public notice was posted seeking a wife, and a female saint from the Immortal Sect was found.

Li Changqing told Ye Chen to go back to his room first, then looked at Chen Yi and said seriously, "I am a rogue cultivator, so I have more experience. I know that if you want to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in Qi Refining, you need to prepare healing pills, a Breakthrough Pill to increase your chances of breaking through, and a Spirit Armor to make it easier to survive the Heavenly Tribulation."

"Spirit armor is hard to obtain, but a one-time protective suit of armor can be made using some common materials. It is not as effective as a real spirit armor, but it is still somewhat useful."

"I will find a way to prepare these things for you. You can focus on consolidating your cultivation."

Chen Yi listened attentively, and after Li Changqing finished speaking, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

He felt a pang of emotion, increasingly realizing how difficult it was for cultivators to progress. They constantly strived to improve their cultivation level, but once they were strong enough to break through, they still had to face terrifying tribulations. Whether they could overcome them depended entirely on fate.

Unlike him, he quietly cultivated for two days and then successfully broke through.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Yi suddenly felt that God had eyes and that he was lucky.

"Besides, since cultivation has reached a critical moment, there's no need to waste time and energy thinking about other things," Li Changqing added.

She had secretly followed Chen Yi before and overheard him saying that he wanted to prepare a gift for her.

What I'm saying now is a subtle reminder to Chen Yi that at this moment, cultivation is more important than anything else.

Chen Yi had no idea what Li Changqing was thinking. He thought Li Changqing was just giving him a casual reminder, so he immediately said, "I understand. Cultivation is important, of course, but some things are equally important. For example, our wedding is approaching, and this is the most important thing in my life."

To be honest, Chen Yi found it quite amusing to tease this woman occasionally and then watch her look helpless.

So what if someone is at the peak of their tribulation at three hundred years old? Just because someone has been flirted with a lot doesn't mean they're truly unapproachable.

The saying "With enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle" holds true.

Li Changqing fell silent upon hearing this. She was unaware of Chen Yi's thoughts and assumed that he was determined to prepare a gift that would make her happy.

Her feelings were somewhat complicated, and a sigh inexplicably rose within her. When someone was genuinely kind to her, she felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know how to respond.

In the past, my mind was only focused on cultivation; now, it's completely different.

…………

After chatting with Li Changqing, Chen Yi began practicing the Purple Lightning Technique. After finishing, he strolled to the storeroom and took out two bottles of Foundation Condensation Pills.

After thinking for a moment, he took a few more bottles of Spirit Condensation Pills. He needed Spirit Condensation Pills to cultivate after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Taking a few more bottles of Spirit Condensation Pills would prevent Li Changqing from becoming suspicious later.

Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is something only he should know; Li Changqing also...

I can't reveal it, otherwise Li Changqing would probably want to slice him up and study him carefully.

After taking the pills, Chen Yi returned to his room but did not immediately begin cultivating.

He carefully moved the bed aside, then pressed his hands into the floor tiles in the four corners dozens of times using a special technique. After a slight sound, the floor cracked open in the middle, revealing a dark wooden box inside.

The Chen family once had a Foundation Establishment cultivator. According to Chen Yi's memory, that Foundation Establishment cultivator was the eldest brother of the Chen family's patriarch. According to seniority, Chen Yi would have to call him Second Grandfather.

Of course, it's impossible to see him now, since this Foundation Establishment cultivator has been dead for decades.

However, some things were left behind. The wooden box hidden under the bed is what the second uncle left behind.

Chen Yi carefully took out the wooden box. On the box was a lock made of some kind of metal that he didn't recognize. Chen Yi used a special technique to easily open the lock.

Opening the lid revealed the contents of the wooden box.

An ordinary but entirely black longbow, and six equally black arrows.

According to his memory, Chen Yi remembered the family's instructions that one must never use this bow without having established one's foundation; violating this instruction would be unforgivable by the ancestors.

Now that he has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, taking out this bow is no longer considered a violation of ancestral precepts.

This bow and arrow, which doesn't possess any particularly extraordinary power, is the Chen family's most hidden trump card, and of course, it's the only trump card they have.

If Chen Yi hadn't heard Li Changqing mention the spirit armor today, he almost wouldn't have remembered it.

"Sunhunting Bow."

Chen Yi picked up the longbow, in which a name was engraved. The bow itself seemed ordinary, but Chen Yi felt that the name was quite imposing.

"Only those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage can use this bow, which means that the bow's power should be sufficient to hunt down Foundation Establishment cultivators. I'll go out and test the bow's power in a few days. If it's powerful enough, it can be considered one of the means to kill enemies."

Chen Yi had an idea in mind. The Chen family was going through a turbulent time, and having another way to kill enemies would be a good thing.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yi put the bow back into the wooden box, then placed the box back into the crack, and tapped the floor tile lightly. The crack closed instantly.

Afterwards, Chen Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, temporarily putting aside the matter of the Sun-Hunting Bow, and instead took out the Foundation Establishment cultivation method given to him by Li Changqing.

After opening it and taking a look, Chen Yi found the description to be profound and difficult to understand. Then he turned his gaze to the panel and immediately noticed that a prompt had appeared on the panel.

[The Foundation Establishment Chapter of the Azure Emperor's Profound Spirit Cultivation Method has been detected. Should we replace the Qi Refining Chapter of the Azure Emperor's Profound Spirit Cultivation Method with this method?]

Having learned from past experience, Chen Yi was no longer surprised and silently uttered the word "replace" in his mind.

In the next instant, the complex and profound cultivation method was imprinted in his mind, as if he had cultivated the Foundation Establishment Chapter of the Azure Emperor Profound Spirit Cultivation Method countless times.

After the replacement, he became extremely familiar with the Foundation Establishment chapter, and his cultivation was completely unimpeded.

Just then, a booming sound rang in his mind. Just like when he first cultivated the Qi Refining Chapter, he saw a giant tree piercing the sky in the world, and a blurry figure standing on the top of the giant tree.

This time, he seemed to hear a low murmur, but unfortunately, he couldn't make it out at all.

Then, the strange phenomenon shattered with a deafening roar, and the giant tree and the entire world turned to ashes.

Chen Yi came to his senses, his body already soaked in sweat. This strange phenomenon was not much different from the one he experienced when cultivating the Qi Refining Chapter, but he seemed to feel an extreme sense of oppression.

After a long silence, Chen Yi decided not to dwell on the matter and did not intend to mention it to Li Changqing. He had brought it up before, but Li Changqing had told him with certainty that it was impossible for any unusual phenomena to occur when practicing this method.

Since that's the case, there's no need to bring it up again.

He calmed his mind, put himself in a state of mental tranquility, and then swallowed a Foundation Establishment Pill and began to cultivate.

The Azure Emperor's Profound Spirit Cultivation Method's Qi Refining Chapter is extremely powerful; now let's see how the Foundation Establishment Chapter fares.

If the Foundation Establishment stage is no less effective than the Qi Refining stage, or even more powerful, then a few months would be enough to significantly improve his abilities.

With little time left, the only thing he could do was desperately improve his strength.

The more they improve, the greater their chances of killing Zhao Dezhi within three months will be.
