[2: Yesterday, you activated the Barbarian God's Shield, gaining intelligence that the Sima family in the Southern Region might have information on the shield fragments.]
[3: Yesterday, you observed the battle between Zhang Han and Gu Tianhao from the Qianlong List, obtaining intelligence that they fought to a draw and did not find the Nine-leaf Red Velvet Fruit they sought.]
[4: Yesterday, you seized the Nine-leaf Red Velvet Fruit with the Earth Dragon Beast King in the deep ravine. It was seen by many cultivators near the Tianqing Fruit, and nearly a thousand cultivators are discussing who subdued the Earth Dragon Beast King.]
[5: You killed Chu Ping, the 18th prince of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, gaining intelligence that the Chu family prodigy, Chu Ba, has started investigating you.]
[6: Yesterday, you killed Murong Chenggao, gaining intelligence that the Murong family is one of the four major cultivation families in the Southern Region, with Nascent Soul cultivators.]
[7: Yesterday, you used the Earth Dragon Beast King to seize the Nine-leaf Red Velvet Fruit, gaining intelligence that the three demon toads went berserk after seeing their guarded spiritual herb stolen, devouring many nearby cultivators.]
[8: Yesterday, you used the Earth Dragon Beast King to seize the Nine-leaf Red Velvet Fruit, gaining intelligence that the cultivators in Wanling Paradise believe Sima Rui, a prodigy of the Sima family known for beast control, subdued the Earth Dragon Beast King, and the Nine-leaf Red Velvet Fruit is in his possession. Sima Rui is now being targeted by these cultivators.]
[9: Yesterday, after taking the Nine-leaf Red Velvet Fruit, Sima Rui, the 11th-ranked prodigy on the Heavenly Pride List, took the blame. He denied taking the fruit, cursed the real thief, and fled frantically.]
[10: Yesterday, you wore the mysterious fragment, gaining intelligence that the mysterious fragment from the Tianyao Commerce Guild was sold by Ouyang Canghai. It was given to the guild master's grandson, Yu Liangcai, who is currently training in Wanling Paradise.]
"Tianyao Commerce Guild's Yu Liangcai!"
Qin Wang's eyes gleamed after reading the intelligence board.
He must obtain that mysterious fragment!
As for the Nine-leaf Red Velvet Fruit, he was pleased that Sima Rui from the Sima family took the blame. However, he decided to minimize the use of the Earth Dragon Beast King in the future. If news spread that he had subdued it, it would be impossible to hide that he had taken the Nine-leaf Red Velvet Fruit.
Time passed.
Qin Wang had been in Wanling Paradise for nearly a month.
[Qin Wang]
[Lifespan: 20/155]
[Realm: Qi Refining Stage, 12th Level (19998/20000)]
"Finally, almost perfected!"
"I've consumed so many spiritual items to grind my proficiency to this point!"
Looking at his panel, Qin Wang's eyes showed deep anticipation.
In the past month, he absorbed half of the Millennium Spiritual Marrow, consumed many Foundation Establishment elixirs, and finally ground his proficiency to nearly 20,000 for the 12th level of Qi Refining!
At this moment, his body's mana surged, constantly impacting, with powerful aura spreading, making his black hair flutter and robe billow.
His aura continued to rise!
"Qin Wang, seeing your current state... it's very suitable to break through to Foundation Establishment in one go. Since you didn't prepare a Foundation Establishment Elixir, take a mouthful of Millennium Spiritual Marrow to help with the breakthrough!"
"I broke through to Foundation Establishment this way too!"
At this moment, a voice came from the Millennium Soul Nurturing Wood beside Qin Wang. It was Wu Su, sounding somewhat surprised.
"Alright, I'll try the Millennium Spiritual Marrow!"
Qin Wang's eyes lit up. He took out two white porcelain bottles from his storage bag, each containing Millennium Spiritual Marrow.
He opened one bottle and drank it.
Boom!
A surge of cool spiritual energy flowed through his stomach, instantly rushing into his meridians, and then through his Baihui acupoint into his dantian!
Qin Wang had consumed a significant amount of Millennium Spiritual Marrow.
The vast spiritual energy surged like ocean waves, impacting his body.
His body trembled constantly, his meridians cracked under the pressure of the vast spiritual energy, and then they were restored, becoming more resilient and wider, better suited for the circulation of more vast spiritual energy!
At the same time, Qin Wang noticed that his proficiency in the 12th level of Qi Refining had reached 20000!
But he didn't break through yet, his body turning red like a boiled lobster!
His powerful aura surged!
The momentum kept rising!
"More!"
Wu Su's voice suddenly came.
Qin Wang knew it was a critical moment. He immediately poured the contents of the other bottle into his mouth.
Boom!
Qin Wang felt a tremor. The spiritual energy from the Millennium Spiritual Marrow pressed against his meridians, shattering and repairing them in a cycle.
Meanwhile, his dantian's mana began transforming into a liquid state under the Five Elements Condensation Technique!
He knew this was a sign of Foundation Establishment!
At this moment, a ten-foot-wide spiritual vortex appeared above his cave, growing larger!
Crack!
Qin Wang heard a faint sound in his mind. His dantian tightened and relaxed, his body trembled, and the vast spiritual energy in his meridians rushed into his dantian, accelerating the liquefaction process!
Simultaneously, his mind felt clearer!
"It's done! Continue the technique to consolidate the liquid mana!"
"Stabilize the Foundation Establishment realm!"
Wu Su's voice echoed in Qin Wang's ears, filled with joy.
Qin Wang continued his technique, consolidating his dantian and meridian mana into liquid.
Time passed.
An hour went by.
The surrounding spiritual energy flowed into Qin Wang's cave, forming a three-mile-wide vortex.
"This... a spiritual vortex for Foundation Establishment? Someone's breaking through to Foundation Establishment here? I'm so envious!"
Five miles away, a limping woman with a graceful figure and pockmarked face stood under a large tree, looking at the vortex above Qin Wang's cave with clear eyes filled with envy.
She was also at Qi Refining stage, but someone was directly breaking through to Foundation Establishment here, without even needing a Foundation Establishment Elixir!
This meant the cultivator had extraordinary talent.
How could she not be envious?
At this moment, several scattered cultivators further away were also shocked, looking at the spiritual vortex here.
Inside the cave.
Qin Wang sat cross-legged, surrounded by swirling spiritual energy, making his figure appear hazy.
"Finally, all my dantian mana is liquid!"
"From now on, I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
Qin Wang slowly opened his eyes, filled with joy.
He instinctively extended his divine sense.
He found that after advancing to Foundation Establishment, his divine sense could now "see" up to thirteen miles away, including soil, ants, and leaf patterns, with nothing escaping his detection!
"Divine sense extending to thirteen miles?"
Qin Wang felt his divine sense. As far as he knew, most cultivators' divine senses could extend about 8-10 miles after advancing to Foundation Establishment. His reaching thirteen miles meant that the mysterious fragment played a significant role.
