Chapter 260: Chapter 161: Foundation Establishment Pill, Opportunity to Destroy the Wu Family_2
Now that I think about it, luckily I decided to live in the shantytown before and didn’t enter Yunlai City.
Otherwise, my identity would have been detected by the Wu Family immediately, and I would have been targeted by them.
At that time, I might not have had any time for cultivation.
And wouldn’t have become a Foundation Establishment cultivator so quickly.
"But didn’t the Fortune-Telling Talisman say that entering Yunlai City was a small fortune?"
"Yet, just after entering the city, I’m already being targeted by the Wu Family."
"Is this still considered a small fortune?"
Jiang Fan couldn’t help but think of this, feeling quite odd.
However, he didn’t think that the Fortune-Telling Talisman predicted wrong, rather that there must be a reason behind it.
Otherwise, the Fortune-Telling Talisman wouldn’t have predicted this.
No, if you think carefully, perhaps it is really considered a small fortune.
For ordinary loose cultivators, the ill will of the Wu Family is naturally a calamity.
But for Foundation Establishment cultivators, it really counts as nothing.
It’s like a fierce tiger being targeted by a rabbit; the tiger can easily swat the rabbit to death.
Naturally, it poses no threat.
On the contrary, it’s like offering food to the tiger, giving the tiger an extra meal.
The same logic applies.
Without the Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Wu Family is nothing more than a toothless tiger.
Yet, the Wu Family lacks this awareness and instead regards themselves as predators wanting to devour me.
Thus, for the Wu Family, this is a complete disaster.
Without Foundation Establishment cultivators, how could the Wu Family withstand the wrath of Foundation Establishment?
"If that’s the case, then the Wu Family is actively courting death."
"This time, I can not only take the opportunity to destroy the Wu Family and eliminate this hidden threat completely."
"I might even gain the foundation of the Wu Family."
"After all, the Wu Family is considered a Foundation Establishment Clan."
"Even a broken ship still has three nails."
"After destroying the Wu Family, perhaps I can find some Foundation Establishment resources."
Jiang Fan’s eyes twinkled; he felt this indeed was an opportunity to wipe out the Wu Family, guided by destiny.
Due to their countless evil deeds, the Wu Family had exhausted much of their destiny and were now plagued with misfortune.
They had sown the seeds for their own downfall.
On the surface, the Wu Family seemed to be at the peak of their power.
But in reality, it was nothing more than a castle in the air, ready to collapse at any moment.
Just a slight move would bring the Wu Family to ruin effortlessly.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan continued to question the three Wu Family cultivators: "Then, given this, when do you plan to act against me?"
"Senior, we currently have no plan to act against you."
"Indeed, for now, we’re just keeping watch and investigating your identity, Senior."
"Once we confirm your identity, then we intend to make a move."
"Moreover, it’s more critical now because the Wu Family’s situation isn’t very good; having lost the Foundation Establishment cultivators, we’re acting very cautiously and low-key, avoiding reckless actions."
"What’s most important to us, the Wu Family, is to birth new Foundation Establishment cultivators."
The three Wu Family cultivators were in a heated discussion.
For now, they had no plan to act against Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei, merely keeping watch.
"Birth new Foundation Establishment? Did your Wu Family acquire a Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Jiang Fan’s heart stirred as he spoke.
"Indeed, our Wu Family obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill from a secret channel."
"If successful, a new Foundation Establishment will emerge in our Wu Family."
"So right now, nothing is more important than this."
Explained the three Wu Family cultivators.
Because of this, they hadn’t decided to act against Jiang Fan.
They feared disturbing the snake and ruining the Wu Family’s plan.
"Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered; he felt puzzled as to where the Wu Family obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill.
It is known that all Foundation Establishment Pills in Yunlai City are basically produced by Daoist Yunlai’s forces.
Refining Foundation Establishment Pills isn’t that simple.
It requires not only a massive amount of spirit medicine but also a Tier Two Alchemist.
Both are indispensable.
Additionally, among major factions, Foundation Establishment Pills are considered strategic resources.
They’re extremely difficult to purchase.
But the Wu Family suddenly obtained one, which is quite incomprehensible.
He instinctively sensed that something was amiss.
"Could the Wu Family have colluded with an external force, thus obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Jiang Fan couldn’t help but consider this possibility.
He thought if the Wu Family wanted to acquire the Foundation Establishment Pill, the only possibility was to betray Yunlai City’s interest.
In this way, it’s plausible they obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill from other forces.
For the Wu Family, their own interest is paramount; Yunlai City is of little significance.
Moreover, during this period, Yunlai City is indeed at a time of instability.
The Wu Family’s pursuit of other avenues isn’t impossible.
However, the choices made by the Wu Family may not necessarily be correct, and could indeed be a dead end.
"It seems that Yunlai City might face a major problem soon."
Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered.
He sensed that during this time, the inside of Yunlai City was simply a swirling undercurrent.
It was like the core of a cyclone.
However, for a cyclone, the eye of the storm is actually the calmest place.
It’s the outer regions of the cyclone that cause the most severe damage.
So staying in Yunlai City was indeed a good thing.
This is the so-called most dangerous place being the safest.
"Hmm, you haven’t seen me today."
"Continue staying here and keep watch."
At this moment, Jiang Fan sensed the power of the Tier Two Enchantment Talisman gradually fading and didn’t continue to question them.
He also didn’t plan to eliminate these three Wu Family Cultivators now.
Because if these three Wu Family Cultivators died, it would inevitably alarm the Wu Family.
It would certainly alert the enemy.
So it’s better to leave these three for now and eliminate them at a critical moment.
Swoosh!
With this thought, Jiang Fan’s figure flickered, and he quickly left the place.
As if he had never been there.
Meanwhile, the power of the Enchantment Talisman gradually dissipated, and the three Wu Family Cultivators quickly regained their senses.
However, they also forgot what just happened.
The power of the Tier Two Enchantment Talisman wasn’t something a small Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator could resist.
They only felt they had zoned out for a while and didn’t notice anything unusual.
"Husband, how did it go?"
Seeing Jiang Fan return home, Su Weiwei asked curiously.
"It’s the cultivators from the Wu Family."
"They are watching our house."
"But for now, there’s no need to pay attention to them."
"We can stay at home and cultivate peacefully, just let them watch."
"Consider it as having a few more bodyguards."
Jiang Fan explained.
"Hmm."
Hearing this, Su Weiwei immediately felt relieved. Since her man said there was no problem, it must be fine.
She didn’t need to worry too much about anything.
......
Several days passed again.
Yunlai City remained calm and peaceful.
The nearby Wu Family Cultivators continued to diligently monitor Jiang Fan’s residence.
But Jiang Fan was too lazy to bother with them, staying at home to cultivate with peace of mind.
Inside a quiet room.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, running the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture.
The Primordial Talisman deep in the Elixir Field and Sea of Qi spun continuously, inhaling the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth.
Then it condensed into a drop of Primordial Spiritual Power.
This drop of Primordial Spiritual Power surged deep into the meridians in his body.
This was the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It required continuously breathing in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, refining it into liquid spiritual power.
At least twelve minor meridians must be connected to advance to the Perfection level of Foundation Establishment Realm.
If aiming for ninth-layer Foundation Establishment Perfection, one must connect one hundred and eight minor spirit veins.
Thus, cultivation for Foundation Establishment Cultivators was extremely slow.
Without a Tier Two Spirit Vein, the efficiency would reduce many times over.
Even if one’s lifespan runs out, advancing to Foundation Establishment Perfection might not be possible.
Not to mention, there are bottlenecks at mid-stage and late-stage Foundation Establishment as well.
This is a major issue that troubles countless Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
"Without a Tier Two Spirit Vein, the cultivation efficiency is indeed very slow."
"Fortunately, I got some Centennial Spirit Medicine from the Lingxi Secret Realm."
"Taking these Centennial Spirit Medicines and absorbing their medicinal power can also improve cultivation efficiency."
"It’s not much worse than being in a Tier Two Spirit Vein cave mansion."
"At least the realm of Early-stage Foundation Establishment is fully sufficient."
"However, if I could obtain a Tier Two Elixir, the efficiency would naturally further improve."
Jiang Fan sensed the Primordial Spiritual Power surging within himself.
His cultivation efficiency had indeed decreased significantly compared to the Qi Cultivation Stage.
But this was something he had long anticipated.
Without a Tier Two Spirit Vein, even if one had an Earth Spirit Root, the cultivation speed wouldn’t be very fast.
Rumble~~
At this moment, a tremendous tremor suddenly came from Yunlai City, causing waves of spiritual energy fluctuations, sweeping through the entire city, affecting every cultivator in the city.
"What’s happening?"
Jiang Fan was taken aback, not knowing what happened.
