章節 163: Chapter 163: Zhang Fujang’s Gratitude! The Jindan of the Chu Family!
"Yes!"
Zhang Fujang responded and respectfully turned to put away the array flags.
In no time, the two of them had collected all three arrays and hurried away into the distance.
Qin Wang did not fly on his sword but instead moved stealthily through the mountains, trying to stay far from Wanling Market. Flying in the sky would make them an obvious target and might attract the attention of Jindan-stage cultivators.
"Zhang Fujang, how long have you been at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining stage?"
As they sped along, Qin Wang suddenly asked Zhang Fujang.
"Master, I have been at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining stage for twelve years now, but I've been unable to break through."
Zhang Fujang's words were filled with endless dejection.
He had worked hard, but the breakthrough in cultivation depends on both opportunities and innate talent. Originally, he hoped to find a chance to break through by entering Wanling Blessed Land. However, before even entering, he had become a servant to his master.
He wasn't sure if he would ever have the chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in his lifetime.
"Serve me well, and when we settle down, I will find a place with abundant spiritual energy for you to establish your foundation."
Qin Wang glanced at Zhang Fujang and spoke in a deep voice.
Now that he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he no longer needed his Foundation Establishment Pill.
His sister had a heavenly spiritual root and had become the disciple of the sect master of Wan Hua Sect, so she surely wouldn't lack Foundation Establishment Pills. Even if he wanted to give it to her, he couldn't find her now.
By the time he did find her, she would likely have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Keeping the Foundation Establishment Pill in his storage pouch was pointless, so it was better to use it to elevate Zhang Fujang's cultivation, making him reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
If Zhang Fujang could reach the Foundation Establishment stage, he would effectively have five Foundation Establishment cultivators around him, giving him a significant advantage in any Foundation Establishment-stage battles.
After all, he controlled Zhang Fujang's soul blood and could make him perish with just a thought, so there was no fear of betrayal.
"Master...I...I don't have a Foundation Establishment Pill, so I don't feel confident."
Hearing Qin Wang's words, Zhang Fujang's eyes revealed a hint of despondency.
He also wanted to establish his foundation, but Foundation Establishment Pills were hard to come by.
Not long ago, ten Foundation Establishment Pills appeared at the Wanbao Tower auction, but he didn't have enough spirit stones to bid on them.
He could only watch helplessly.
"When we killed Yan Wushuang, his storage pouch contained a Foundation Establishment Pill. You can take this pill to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Take it."
Qin Wang spoke indifferently.
With that, a white porcelain bottle the size of a fist flew out and floated in front of Zhang Fujang.
"Ah!!!"
Hearing Qin Wang's words, Zhang Fujang's eyes widened in disbelief and joy.
When they killed Yan Wushuang, Qin Wang had taken the storage pouch. He hadn't known it contained a Foundation Establishment Pill.
A Foundation Establishment Pill was incredibly valuable.
In the cultivation world, many cultivators at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage struggled for decades without ever acquiring a Foundation Establishment Pill, ultimately dying with regret.
Yet now, his master intended to give him this precious pill to help him establish his foundation. The weight of this kindness was overwhelming.
"Zhang Fujang thanks Master!"
"Zhang Fujang swears to serve Master faithfully for the rest of his life, no matter the cost!"
Upon seeing the white porcelain bottle and the goose egg-sized white pill inside emitting a rich medicinal aroma, Zhang Fujang immediately knelt before Qin Wang and respectfully kowtowed three times.
Previously, Zhang Fujang might have harbored some resentment about becoming Qin Wang's servant.
But now, he was entirely willing.
He had worked tirelessly, resorting to robbery, all for the sake of obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill.
But now, his master had directly given him one.
Wasn't this far better than his previous life of robbery?
Many low-level cultivators spend their entire lives struggling without ever acquiring a Foundation Establishment Pill!
"Put it away."
"Serve me well!"
"Remember, the Foundation Establishment stage is not your limit. When I break through to the Jindan stage, I will not forget you!"
"We need to hurry; if we delay, they will catch up to us."
Qin Wang glanced deeply at Zhang Fujang and waved for him to rise.
He understood that controlling Zhang Fujang's soul blood meant controlling his life and death.
Giving him some benefits and painting a bright future would ensure his full dedication to serving him.
With that, Qin Wang turned and left.
"Yes, Master!"
Zhang Fujang put away the Foundation Establishment Pill and caught up with Qin Wang. Watching his master's back, his expression was complex and filled with gratitude.
"Qin Wang, Jindan-stage cultivators are very fast. I suggest you find a remote cliff to hide and cultivate while I use my divine sense to conceal your presence."
At that moment, Wu Su's voice echoed in Qin Wang's mind.
"Find a place to hide?"
"Okay!"
Qin Wang nodded in agreement.
Wu Su's suggestion made sense.
There were many Jindan-stage and Foundation Establishment-stage cultivators searching near Wanling Market. He had just killed another Foundation Establishment cultivator.
If they caught up to him, he would surely meet a tragic end.
With Wu Su's help, hiding for a few years might be the best option.
With that in mind, Qin Wang and Zhang Fujang headed in the opposite direction of Wanling Blessed Land, towards the direction of the Sima family.
Wanling Market.
The Wanfu Building belonged to the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty.
Fourth Floor.
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, in the past half month, I went east and investigated 431 suspicious cultivators from Wanling Blessed Land, but none were the ones we were looking for."
In a lavish private room, a middle-aged man in his thirties, exuding a powerful aura and dressed in brocade robes, spoke anxiously to two other middle-aged men in brocade robes.
"I found nothing to the west either."
"There was nothing in the south either. I wonder if our eldest brother found anything in the east?"
The other two middle-aged men also showed concern.
These three brocade-robed men were the third, fourth, and fifth brothers of the fourth generation of the Chu family: Chu Hancheng, Chu Hanfeng, and Chu Hanxing, all Jindan cultivators!
They were sent to investigate the murderer.
"Our eighteenth brother had many techniques and even a spiritual sense avatar of the ancestor, yet he still perished. Who could this person be?"
The fifth brother, Chu Hanxing, expressed deep worry.
He led the team to the Wanling Blessed Land for training, but now he couldn't return with the eighteenth brother intact.
He didn't know how to face the ancestor's wrath upon returning.
"Third Brother, Fifth Brother, I think the one who killed the eighteenth brother must be a disciple of a major dynasty or sect!"
The fourth brother, Chu Hanfeng, understood that only disciples from major dynasties or sects had such strength and resources.
"It must be a disciple of a major dynasty or sect!"
"Ordinary loose cultivators don't have this capability!"
"However, we haven't thoroughly investigated those major dynasties or sects' disciples. We can't search their souls or storage pouches. Although our Tianchu Immortal Dynasty is powerful, we can't provoke everyone!"
Chu Hancheng sighed deeply.
Entering the Wanling Blessed Land for training was meant to hone and increase the experiences of Qi Refining stage cultivators. Deaths were inevitable. However, the eighteenth brother, Chu Ping, was the most beloved great-grandson of the ancestor.
He understood that what truly enraged the ancestor was the destruction of his spiritual sense avatar.
The spiritual sense avatar of a Nascent Soul-stage expert being destroyed by a Qi Refining stage cultivator was an utter humiliation.
Moreover, losing the avatar had some impact on the ancestor's Dao foundation!
Without capturing the culprit and tormenting their soul, the ancestor would never be satisfied!
As long as the ancestor didn't relent, they had to keep searching, tirelessly.
Just then, a crimson communication talisman suddenly flew into the private room, landing in Chu Hancheng's hand.
Chu Hancheng crushed the talisman, sensing the information within. His expression turned grim as he looked at his fourth and fifth brothers, saying, "I just received news. Chucheng pursued two Qi Refining stage cultivators for half a month and hasn't returned. The mark he left and his aura were cut off in the Five Poisons Swamp. He's likely perished."
Chu Hancheng guessed that his nephew Chucheng's soul tablet in the ancestral land had already shattered.
"What?"
"Chucheng has fallen?"
Chu Hanfeng and Chu Hanxing's expressions changed. Chucheng was the ninth son of their second brother.
He had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage a year ago and joined them to investigate the murderer of the eighteenth brother, only to now be missing...
How would they explain this to their second brother?
"The news was sent by Chuyang. He personally inspected the area and found traces of combat, including the aura of Chucheng's Tianyuan Transforming Spirit Art and other spells."
Chu Hancheng's brows furrowed deeply. Chucheng was at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he went missing while chasing two Qi Refining stage cultivators. It indicated those two Qi Refining stage cultivators were extraordinary!
For Qi Refining stage cultivators to kill Chucheng, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, there was a high chance that those two Qi Refining stage cultivators were the culprits!
