Zhao Fuhu’s face darkened as he turned and left.

Five days later.
West Garden Elixir Shop.
[Qi Refining Ninth Layer (255999/256000)]
"Right now I’ve got two Foundation Establishment Pills. I wonder if that’s enough for me to break through, to step right into Foundation Establishment?"
Lin Chang’sheng sat atop the loft, staring at his status panel as he pulled out two pills, muttering to himself.
These two pills were Murong Tian’s Foundation Establishment Pills. Judging from the current state, they still held a faint medicinal scent, but the sheen was a little dim—seems the potency might be lacking.
After all, they’re over a hundred years old. Sitting in a storage bag all that time, it’s normal the effects faded.
"I’ll cultivate for a while first. At least now I’ve got a Flawless Dao Foundation! Maybe I can reach Foundation Establishment naturally, without even needing the pills."
Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself.
Having maxed out his cultivation experience, he could feel the magical power in his Dantian far more profound than at Qi Refining Eighth Layer.
So full it was almost overflowing.
He knew, if he could reach Foundation Establishment purely on his own strength, without relying on outside help like Foundation Pills, his future would be limitless—reaching Nascent Soul Stage would be all but guaranteed.
Those who use pills for Foundation Establishment? That’s settling for second best.
"Time to head into the mountains and snatch a few tigers for soul capturing."
Lin Chang’sheng looked off into the distance, thinking.
He hung a sign on the door: [Closed Today].
Ready for everything, he set off straight for the Celestial Spirit Mountain Range.
........
Celestial Spirit Mountain Range.
This is within the territory of Yanyue Immortal Sect.
Along the way, plenty of low tier cultivators at the Qi Refining stage journeyed up the mountains, hoping to hunt demon beasts and collect cultivation immortality materials.
Lin Chang’sheng moved fast. Before long, he was a hundred miles deep into the Celestial Spirit Mountain Range.
"Rooar!"
"Sss—! Sss!~"
"Awoo~~~"
"......."
All through the trek, Lin Chang’sheng’s ears were rattled by all sorts of demon beast roars. Suddenly, he caught a bloody scent and the low, deep sound of "awoo!"
Right then, a raging wind whipped up, and a massive tiger—ten feet long, pale yellow fur streaked with black stripes, a "king" mark on its brow—pounced at him!
This tiger had powerhouse limbs, a burly tail thick with dark bands all around.
Lin Chang’sheng felt as if the sky had gone dark right over his head.
"Wind and Thunder Movement!"
Lin Chang’sheng’s body flickered, vanishing instantly. The giant tiger snapped at nothing!
"Chhk!"
A flash of icy light—every limb of the tiger severed—collapsing to the ground in a frenzy, tail lashing like a whip at the earth, scattering wood shavings from the trees all around!
Lin Chang’sheng appeared above the tiger’s head in a burst, smacking down with his palm.
"Crack!"
The tiger’s skull shattered.
In the next instant, Lin Chang’sheng whipped out the Myriad Souls Banner, shaking it as a spell flickered out, then—abruptly—a ghostly tiger’s shadow floated up from the corpse!
That was the tiger’s soul.
The tiger soul looked at Lin Chang’sheng, terror in its eyes. Lin Chang’sheng quickly cast several spells to absorb the tiger soul into the Myriad Souls Banner. After setting a restriction, he released it, letting it float before him.
Lin Chang’sheng took out a whip and struck the tiger soul several times.
Tiger Killing Array experience +1!
Tiger Killing Array experience +1!
.....
"It really works."
Lin Chang’sheng eyed the red prompts popping up on his panel, his heart stirred, thinking, "Every time I whip this tiger soul, I get a bit of experience... What if I catch a bunch more tigers and whip them all? Won’t my experience boost even faster?"
Thinking that, he quickly stored away the tiger soul and dashed through the woods. Soon, he ran into four more tigers wanting to eat him—none survived, all captured for their souls.
Lin Chang’sheng found a platform on a cliff—thirty feet wide. He set out some dry wood and lit it with a little Fireball, then piled on fresh branches and leaves, billows of smoke swirling up.
Illusionary Array experience +1!
Illusionary Array experience +1!
........
Soon, Lin Chang’sheng watched as red prompts kept popping up on his panel.
He then pulled out a huge pot and a big stove, lit it with charcoal, then poured a bucket of water in. Before long, steam was rising thick from the pot!
Cloud Mist Array experience +1!
Cloud Mist Array experience +1!
.......
Seeing the Cloud Mist Array experience ticking up, Lin Chang’sheng also took out Five Elements items—metal, wood, water, fire, earth—dumped them on the ground and started stomping on them.
Five Elements Array experience +1!
Five Elements Array experience +1!
........
"Nice, the experience is growing fast. Keep at this for two days and it should reach Perfection."
"Wonder what kind of new array I’ll be able to merge once it’s done?"
Staring at the red prompts on his panel, Lin Chang’sheng felt a surge of anticipation inside.
He stomped the Five Elements items while his whip lashed those five tiger souls swirling around him, watching his experience climb ever higher!
........
Meanwhile.
Down beneath the cliff where Lin Chang’sheng was.
Ripples shimmered as three young figures appeared, all clothed in black. The leader’s eyes glinting with a chilling ferocity every time he blinked.
"Senior Brother Xiao, why is there so much smoke up on the cliff? Is there a cultivator up there?"
Just then, one of the black-robed youths pointed at the heavy smoke over the top of the cliff, frowning.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Zhengxing looked up at the dense smoke, pondering for a moment. "Let’s head up and check it out!"
They’d been lying low for several days.
Hadn’t gone out to snatch cultivators for Corpse Puppet refining. Today, stepping out of the mountain’s depths, they meant to sniff out what was going on beyond. Besides, whoever was on that summit was way too close to their lair—they needed to be dealt with.
Mao Butong and Zhang Bangchang didn’t object and followed Xiao Zhengxing up the mountain.
........
Right then.
Above the cliff, two flying swords sliced through the air.
Both were pale blue, each ridden by a young woman in a profound robe.
"Senior Sister Yu, the Corpse King Sect actually infiltrated our Southern Domain Cultivation Realm for thousands of miles!"
"And they’re snatching our righteous cultivators to make Corpse Puppets!"
"These demon cultivators are really getting out of hand!"
One girl glared at a far-off peak, her voice thick with indignation.
"Junior Sister Fu, in the end it’s because the Righteous Dao just isn’t powerful enough!"
"We all need to work harder on our cultivation!"
Yu Lingfei gazed into the distance, deep worry clouding her gorgeous eyes.
As the unrivaled prodigy of this Yanyue Immortal Sect generation, she’d gained a wisp of Heaven and Earth Qi, achieving Flawless Foundation Establishment—Nascent Soul stage seemed within reach. But she knew the Righteous Dao had already suffered a setback in its first clash with Demon Dao.
And not just the Corpse King Sect.
Other sects had also infiltrated deep into the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm.
For now, all she could do was put everything into growing her cultivation—only then could she contribute when the coming war between righteous and demonic breaks out!
