The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1049 - 562: Apology (Part 2)

Yan Xiaobao still couldn't quite believe it.

"Take Zhou Xinqi for example. Due to her plant and vegetative meridians, she is sure to inherit Lord Li Feng's legacy and become the leading alchemist of the Spiritual Flow Sect. Then there is Lu Tianlei. He grew up in a very poor family, initially as thin as a stick of firewood. But he has rare lightning meridians, and the magical techniques he cultivates belong to the lightning road. In fact, the sect leader personally stated that he will have an extraordinary future."

"Really?" Yan Xiaobao asked, clearly shocked. He was no longer a newcomer to the Cultivation World and had learned a lot about how things worked. Hearing about the lightning meridians, he couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. Such spiritual meridians would make one's magical techniques explosively powerful and ensure few bottlenecks during cultivation.

Seeing Yan Xiaobao finally reacting like people do when hearing such things, he continued with the third person: "Of course, there's Shangguan Tianyou, even more amazing. He has a Sword Spirit Body, and some even say he's a reincarnated spiritual child of an all-powerful sword cultivator. For some reason, as if the heavens were sinful, they blessed him with happiness all his life. When he was three, he happened to find an ancient sword walking down the road; when he was seven, a baby crimson cloud descended from the sky and accepted him immediately as its master; when he was thirteen, he acquired a golden Light Shield. That's why his name is Heavenly Protection, and once he joined the sect, the main elder was completely moved."

Yan Xiaobao's eyes widened, and he looked a bit unsettled. "Heaven is sinful!?!? Three... years old? Such luck! What kind of... wait, he's a reincarnated spiritual child of an ancient all-powerful cultivator?"

At that moment, he decided he absolutely wouldn't do anything to provoke Shangguan Tianyou, even if the heavens willed it.

Xu Baocai was quite pleased to see Yan Xiaobao so shocked, so he sighed and then decided to make some explanations about the Foundation. "These three will definitely reach the Foundation. Brother Bai, our cultivator initially worked as a servant and then joined the Outer Sect. We compare our promotion to jumping through the Dragon's Gate like a fish. However, the truth of the matter is that only breaking through from the Qi Condensation Stage to Foundation Establishment is truly becoming that fish that leaps over the Dragon's Gate. Only then does your life truly change, and you truly cast off mortal life. When your longevity increases by a hundred years, that's the true path to becoming immortal."

Just as Xu Baocai sighed, Yan Xiaobao heard about the hundred-year life extension, and his eyes flashed with light more intense than anything he'd ever seen before. He even started to tremble, his mind filled with a rumbling sound. He reached out and grabbed Xu Baocai's arm.

"You just said after reaching Foundation you gain an additional hundred years of longevity?"

Xu Baocai stared at Yan Xiaobao's bloodshot eyes in shock. He felt a little scared and nodded.

Yan Xiaobao breathed heavily and began pacing back and forth in the courtyard, waving his arms, making frenzied gestures. He almost seemed mad, mumbling to himself, laughing crazily.

Xu Baocai was now truly frightened, unsure what was happening. A chill ran down his spine, and he said he needed to leave. Yan Xiaobao barely noticed; it was as if he were trapped.

Xu Baocai took a deep breath and hastened his departure in terror.

After a stick of incense had burned, Yan Xiaobao raised his head, his hair wildly tousled from long breaths. Then he tossed his head back and laughed out loud.

"One hundred years! Foundation Establishment! I am definitely going to reach the Foundation!" Xu Baocai completely ignited Yan Xiaobao's desire to enter the Foundation. For the next few days, he went to the Holy Scripture Hall many times, even eventually going to the Holy Hall.

Divine Might Hall is a place that collects vast amounts of information about the cultivation world for study. After researching detailed explanations of Foundation Establishment, Yan Xiaobao confirmed that what Xu Baocai said was accurate, as if a spark was lit in his heart.

In his view, only by reaching the Foundation can he truly take the first step on the path to eternal life.

What excited him even more was the information on how to enter Foundation Establishment through three methods, each affecting longevity in different ways. Finally, he gained a clearer understanding.

"Heavenly Dao, Earth Dao, and Mortal Dao. Three types of Foundation Establishment....

"Mortal-Dao Foundation Establishment requires a Foundation Establishment Pill. The chances of success are low, but if successful, you gain a hundred years of longevity.

"Earth-Dao Foundation Establishment involves absorbing Earth Energy and converting it to shaking power. The chances of success are even lower, but the result increases longevity by two hundred years!

"Finally, the legendary... Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment! It's extremely rare, achieved only through random chance. But if you manage to establish this type of foundation, you gain 500 years of longevity!" After more detailed research, Yan Xiaobao confirmed Heavenly Dao Foundation cannot be pursued specifically. As for Earth-Dao Foundation Establishment, there are special requirements needed to obtain Earth Energy.

Therefore, the simplest for him was to seek a Foundation Establishment Pill for Mortal-Dao Foundation Establishment.

Yan Xiaobao put down the jade in his hand, taking a deep breath as his eyes shone. "I need to start planning for the future and ensure I am thoroughly prepared. I must obtain one of those Foundation Establishment Pills....

"Foundation Establishment Pills are expensive, just to be prepared for all possibilities, I should certainly have more than one. In that case... the best method is to create some myself!" Yan Xiaobao's eyes sparkled, his dream of becoming a Master Alchemist and crafting an eternal life pill becoming stronger than ever.

"Apprentice Alchemist, Skilled Pharmacist, Master Alchemist... Now I'm an Apprentice Alchemist. To become skilled, I need to create some medicinal pills and proceed to promote and test.... The minimum requirements for the test are mastering the fifth volume of plants and vegetation. But that alone does not ensure success. I also need to completely master all five Soul Creatures." Eyes sparkling, he pulled out the jade sliding plate containing the third volume of plants and vegetation, and examined it once more. After confirming he memorized everything, he immediately left his courtyard.

However, moments later, he ran back and quickly donned several layers of clothing, also disguising himself a bit. Only then did he truly leave.

"Zhou Xinqi's fans are terrifying. They've allegedly been telling others they'll chop me to pieces... I have no choice but to keep a low profile." He still felt somewhat unsettled.

Considering the differences between himself and Zhou Xinqi's fans, he finally made a decision. "Humph. Wait until I enter Foundation Establishment. Then I'll make a grand scene and proclaim myself Lord Turtle. Then we'll see who dares chop me to pieces!"

As usual, the 10,000 Medicines Pavilion was packed with people. In attendance were not just Outer Sect disciples from Xiangyun Peak but disciples from Green Crest Peak and Violet Cauldron Peak, requested for various reasons to become proficient in plants and vegetation.

Currently, Yan Xiaobao wandered among the crowd, trying to ensure he didn't attract any attention. After reaching the small cabin dedicated to the third volume of plants and vegetation, he slipped inside, taking the test, then melted back into the crowd.

Although he had intended to leave right away, after a while, he couldn't resist raising his head to look around. Soon, when people realized that the Turtle's design on the monument for the third volume of plants and vegetation had surpassed the Magic Bottle, commotion erupted.

He felt extremely pleased, his face displaying a shocked expression, shouting in surprise. However, Zhou Xinqi's demon fans only took a bit of time to appear, causing Yan Xiaobao to wave his fists in frustration.

"It's their fault I have to maintain such a low profile," he thought angrily. He glared at them for a while, then turned and left quickly.

In the days that followed, news of the Little Turtle once again spread through the Outer Sect of Xiangyun Peak like wildfire. Everyone talked about the Little Turtle design highlighted on the monument.

However, another month passed, and just as the rumors began to settle, disciples outside the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion suddenly noticed that the Little Turtle had appeared on the fourth Stele, once again taking first place through the Magic Bottle.

The result incited immediate uproar!
