After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

Ding Wan blushed slightly, coughed twice, and said seriously, "You stay here and practice obediently. Remember to gather your inner energy into the sword tip for carving. If you feel a deficiency, take a 'Spirit Essence Pill' and continue practicing."

She took out a bottle of pills from her storage bag and placed it in Xu Ze's hand.

Then it soared into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Presumably, they went to retrieve the essential medicine for Xu Ze's Foundation Establishment.

The boy held the warm porcelain bottle in his hand, his expression excited and his heart pounding.

Is this what it feels like to be a whale (someone who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases)?

So cool!

"We can finally say we're living a good life..."

He looked at the Azure Cloud Sword in his hand and sighed with satisfaction.

At this moment, the silver-white flying sword remained extremely calm.

As Xu Ze was sizing it up, it seemed to be sizing him up as well.

After a long silence, the boy asked the question that had been nagging at him: "Do you... still remember me?"

The Azure Cloud Sword remained motionless and silent.

"You've forgotten how we were running around like crazy, chasing that old man all over the place?"

In his previous life, he was able to kill He Yundao, who was at the Golden Core stage, in public, which was a great relief.

Of course, in terms of merit, the Azure Cloud Sword might indeed be a little more important.

This question still received no response.

Originally, Qingyun Sword intended to remain silent, but Xu Ze kept pestering and talking non-stop, his mouth full of flying swords.

It finally couldn't resist and drew a "一" on the ground.

"So you're admitting it, right?"

Xu Ze knew then that he had not guessed wrong.

Otherwise, why would Qingyun Sword have taken the risk to help me?

Just because you have sword intent?

How could that be? It's a natal flying sword that has recognized its master.

It must have been because we fought side by side in a previous life that it left a deep impression on it.

"Brother Jian, we're really amazing."

Qingyun Sword: "..."

shameless.

Xu Ze didn't care how it viewed him; what he felt more was the surprise of discovering the secret of this world's cycle of reincarnation.

Even if you die, your save file isn't meaningless!

At least one sword spirit still remembers him.

"Do you know why your teacher has such unconventional ideas? Why she believes that the lives of ordinary people are also lives?"

Instead of practicing, he sat on a rock and chatted with Qingyun Sword.

Logically speaking, Ding Wan was born into a renowned family in Beiju Luzhou. She began practicing Qi cultivation at the age of three, broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at fifteen, and even comprehended sword intent. She was a rare and unparalleled genius in the world.

She has never been in contact with mortals, and having been exposed to such things since childhood, she should have the same way of thinking as top-level cultivators!

How could someone have modern ideas?

This time, the Azure Cloud Sword was somewhat excited; it seemed as if it wanted to speak again.

Xu Ze reassured it not to rush, then infused it with a trace of sword intent to help it continue carving.

The moment the Burning Heaven Sword Intent touched the ground, it emitted a sizzling sound.

Soon, a crooked character was carved.

"Dream?"

It took Xu Ze a lot of effort to finally understand the character.

What do you mean?

Is the teacher's behavior due to dreaming?

"Could it be that they connect with the real world through dreams?"

"But why is Bai Yuxi so different...?"

The secret behind this is truly unfathomable.

The Azure Cloud Sword could no longer understand Xu Ze's new question; after all, it was just a sword spirit and couldn't comprehend such a complex matter.

After a long silence, the boy cleared his mind of the jumbled thoughts.

"There's no use thinking about it too much, let's just focus on clearing the level."

This is only the first instance.

Xu Ze gripped the flying sword in his hand and, following Ding Wan's instructions, gathered his inner energy at the tip of the Qingyun Sword and began carving.

However, the moment he touched the stone with the tip of his sword, the stone would quickly crumble and turn into countless ashes.

Originally possessing an extremely yang physique, his internal energy was violently hot and volatile. Combined with the Heaven-Burning Sword Intent and more than ten years of strength training...

It's fair to say that Xu Ze could easily level a mountain right now.

But it's really too difficult for him to do such delicate work.

In other words, his attack power is just too high right now!

With the Xuanling Forging Meridian Technique perfected and the medicinal bath cleansing his marrow, his meridians and body are now incredibly pure. He probably wouldn't even need a sword; a single punch would be enough to pierce through the heart of a Qi Refining cultivator of the same level.

"boom!!"

Despite Xu Ze's difficult maneuvering, the rocks in front of him were soon blasted into powder.

He wasn't discouraged, and picked up another stone to continue.

Soon, the clever and mischievous boy found a technique.

"Haha, I really am a genius!"

At this moment, he held the Qingyun Sword in his hand like a pencil, and by only pinching the very tip of the sword, it became much easier to control.

Regarding this, the Nascent Soul artifact had only one thought.

I should have known it would rot in the furnace.

Just as Xu Ze Diao was having a great time.

[System notification: The store has been refreshed.]

A sudden system notification popped into his mind.

"Oh? It's twelve o'clock."

Xu Ze glanced at the time outside, then opened the mall interface with a thought.

The [Immortal Protection Talisman] I bought last time was an amazing value-for-money item; it was incredibly useful.

Therefore, he couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming products.

I still have 500 points left. Although I can't afford a super powerful item like the 'Little Green Bottle,' it should be enough to buy some useful items for now.

A familiar panel popped up.

The newly refreshed items immediately caught Xu Ze's eye.

"This is……?!"

Chapter 32 Perfect Foundation Establishment

[System Shop]

[Level: 1 (600/1000)]

[Remaining refresh attempts: 1]

【Product List——】

【Name: Lambo Maru】

Price: 300 points

[Description: Pack of three. Upon consumption, it will temporarily raise your cultivation level by one major realm within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.]

[Note: This drug has extremely strong side effects.]

"Strong side effects?" Xu Ze clicked on its detailed information again and muttered, "How strong can they be?"

[After taking one pill: Once the effect ends, your cultivation level will drop, and your foundation will be damaged.]

[Two: Lifespan halved, unable to cultivate anymore, reduced to a useless person.]

[Three pieces: Must die. 】

"Holy crap, isn't that just killing yourself?"

Xu Ze swallowed hard when he saw the words "certain death".

But thinking about it, it makes sense; with such exaggerated effects, it's reasonable to have such side effects.

In the world of cultivation, the gap between each major realm is like an insurmountable chasm, isolating countless cultivators.

Countless people are stuck at a bottleneck, spending their entire lives unable to take even a small step forward.

And this [Blue Wave Pill], once taken, even if it only takes the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, can enable one to establish a foundation, form a golden core, and transform the golden core into a nascent soul.

This is almost against the natural order.

If you eat three...

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator can go toe-to-toe with a Nascent Soul cultivator, or even trade one for one.
