Chapter 254: Hand‑rolled egg balls let you achieve Foundation Establishment just by standing

Ye Fan saw Song Yun so shocked, thinking this time it was truly secure; even Senior Brother Song Yun felt the Immortal Fairy Sister's Foundation Establishment Pill was not simple, so it must be extraordinary.

Indeed, Song Yun's subsequent behavior also proved this.

Seeing the usually steady Song Yun, who had never lost composure in front of his junior, actually jump up in front of Ye Fan.

"Junior Brother Ye, your elder is truly a remarkable person, actually putting the Foundation Establishment Pill inside an egg; let me take it out and study it thoroughly."

"Judging by the pill fragrance revealed so far, this Foundation Establishment Pill's quality is absolutely perfect; perhaps there isn't even a trace of pill toxicity."

Even the Song family has never had a pill of such perfect quality.

Usually the pills refined by the clan elders are already of high quality, with hardly any impurities and little pill toxicity, but compared to a truly perfect-quality pill, they still fall short.

Ye Fan's elder actually possesses such ability, yet he lets Ye Fan ask about buying pills, not revealing his family background, and would rather start as a menial disciple in the Cloud Heaven Sect.

For a moment, Song Yun felt that he, as a scion of an aristocratic family, was too useless, while Ye Fan's family discipline seemed more helpful for tempering one's mind.

His thoughts drifted away; Song Yun quickly came to his senses, reached out, and wanted to crack an egg to take out the Foundation Establishment Pill he believed was hidden inside.

Ye Fan originally wanted to stop him, but he was also curious whether the egg truly contained a Foundation Establishment Pill, after all he didn't have the guts to break the egg, which was given by the Immortal Fairy Sister.

Song Yun went ahead; the egg was easily split open, revealing the yolk inside.

In an instant, the pill fragrance grew stronger, instantly filling the entire cave dwelling.

If it weren't for the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Shielding Formation in this cave dwelling, this pill fragrance would have drifted out.

Song Yun was greatly shocked, and his movements became ever more careful.

He assumed the Foundation Establishment Pill was hidden in the yolk, so he peeled it open inch by inch, turning the whole egg inside out, yet he never saw the pill, leaving both of them bewildered.

Ye Fan quickly reacted and said:

"Senior Brother, let me say, my elder's Foundation Establishment Pill is not ordinary; this egg actually is the Foundation Establishment Pill itself."

"Immortal Fairy Sister is so amazing, really so amazing!!"

"This..." Song Yun snapped out of his daze, looking at the shattered boiled egg in the cup, feeling both startled and at a loss.

"What can be done? I've ruined this perfectly good Foundation Establishment Pill."

Ye Fan carefully sensed it, and finding the medicinal potency undiminished and the fragrance still strong, he said:

"Why don't you try to condense it into a pill and find a fellow disciple who recently wants to achieve Foundation Establishment to test its effect?"

Ye Fan's idea immediately resonated with Song Yun, who promptly took out his Sect Jade Slip and sent out a message.

"My clan happens to have an external branch relative who is about to attempt Foundation Establishment; due to his contributions to the sect and family, he would normally be unable to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill and can only break through on his own, so I'll have him come over for a trial."

After speaking, Song Yun washed his hands and began to knead the crushed egg.

Ye Fan, however, took out his Sect Jade Slip and muttered:

"So the Sect's Jade Slip given by the sect also has the function of transmitting messages?"

"Junior Brother, you don't even know this? Bring the Jade Slip closer; I'll leave a trace of my aura on it, so later if you have something to discuss with me, you can send me a thousand-mile message through this Jade Slip by following my aura."

"From now on, when you meet acquaintances or wish to stay in touch, you can have them leave their aura on your Jade Slip; come, Junior Brother, you also leave your aura on this Jade Slip of Senior Brother."

Ye Fan felt a surge of novelty, tried it immediately, and indeed it worked.

He couldn't help feeling ashamed; although he had been in the sect for quite a while, he didn't even know the wonderful uses of the Sect Jade Slip, suggesting he should quickly strive to enter the Inner Sect.

Only upon reaching the Inner Sect could he truly be considered to have entered the Cloud Heaven Sect.

Soon, Song Yun rolled the scattered egg into a ball, just as his external branch relative happened to arrive, waiting outside the cave dwelling.

Ye Fan looked at the egg ball in the cup and covered his forehead, unable to bear looking directly.

Fortunately, the medicinal potency seemed undiminished, and the Immortal Fairy Sister wasn't present; otherwise, seeing her Foundation Establishment Pill being toyed with like this would surely anger her.

"Junior Brother Zhuang, hurry in."

Song Yun summoned Zhuang inside, immediately using his divine sense to check his cultivation; indeed he was at the Qi Refining Great Perfection stage, just one step away from Foundation Establishment.

"I heard you're about to attempt Foundation Establishment soon; do you have confidence?"

Upon entering Song Yun's cave dwelling, Zhuang smelled a rich pill fragrance, extremely similar to the Foundation Establishment Pill scent he had known, yet with some differences.

More importantly, upon smelling this pill fragrance, his cultivation bottleneck seemed to loosen somewhat, leaving him greatly alarmed.

At this moment, hearing Song Yun mention Foundation Establishment, Zhuang's heart leapt to his throat.

"Replying to Young Master, I indeed plan to start Foundation Establishment soon; as for the chances..."

Zhuang fell silent; without the aid of a Foundation Establishment Pill, any Qi Refining cultivator attempting Foundation Establishment faces extraordinary risk, and he is no exception.

Song Yun and Ye Fan exchanged a glance, then Song Yun spoke:

"Junior Brother, do you want a Foundation Establishment Pill? I happen to have one right now, though its appearance looks a bit odd, its efficacy won't be lacking."

Zhuang didn't expect the Young Master to summon him to give him a Foundation Establishment Pill; his whole person became excited.

"Is what the Young Master says true? If I truly have such an opportunity, I will be eternally grateful and swear lifelong loyalty!"

"Regardless of whether its appearance is odd, as long as it's a Foundation Establishment Pill, it's fine."

"We're all from the same clan; the Young Master would certainly not harm him."

Only when he felt a strange, egg‑scented pill in his hand did Zhuang realize what the Young Master meant by "odd appearance."

"This..." Is this really a Foundation Establishment Pill?

Its yellow‑white mottled color looks exactly like a crushed egg that's been reshaped, yet it indeed carries the aura of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Song Yun narrowed his eyes and said:

"Zhuang, this is your only chance; whether to try or not is up to you."

"If you've decided, just swallow it here and achieve Foundation Establishment in this cave dwelling."

Ye Fan remained silent, his palms clenched nervously.

Logically, he should have been the first to eat the Immortal Fairy Sister's Foundation Establishment Pill, but she told him to first find someone to test its effect, which he did.

He naturally believed the Immortal Fairy Sister, but this Foundation Establishment Pill ultimately needs to be exchanged for spirit stones in the sect, so others must be convinced of its worth.

If Zhuang could personally try it, that would also be a help to him.

Song Zhuang swallowed his saliva, since his chances of reaching Foundation Establishment were low anyway, he might as well give it a try.

The next second, he resolutely swallowed the egg pill.

The pill was too big, he could only chew it; this was the first time he had ever eaten such a large "elixir"!

"How?" Song Yun asked anxiously, while Ye Fan stared intently, not daring to blink.

Song Zhuang gulped it down with a tight throat, feeling somewhat choked, but he didn't dare say it outright.

"Replying to Young Master, it tastes like egg."

But the next second, Song Zhuang felt his spiritual power surge throughout his body, and the bottleneck that had been blocking his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment suddenly loosened.

"Young Master, I think I'm about to break through!"

Song Yun was greatly startled, quickly making space, "Hurry up and sit to meditate and regulate your breath; Foundation Establishment must not be taken lightly!"

As soon as his words fell, a boom sounded, and a powerful wave of spiritual power burst from Song Zhuang's body, his aura shooting up instantly.

The next second, Song Zhuang stood there dazed.

"Young Master, I, I think I have already reached Foundation Establishment..."

"What?" Song Yun and Ye Fan were also extremely shocked.

It was the first time they had seen someone accomplish the leap from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment in the span of a breath.

This egg pill actually enables one to establish the foundation while standing!
