Chapter 255: Immortal Sister, the Sect gives rewards—what do you want?

"Ha, haha, hahaha! Hahahaha!!"

In a moment, the entire cave dwelling was filled with Song Zhuang's near-maniacal laughter.

Ye Fan and Song Yun stood frozen in place, feeling greatly shocked, even somewhat absurd.

Everyone says that achieving Foundation Establishment for cultivators is as hard as climbing to heaven; since ancient times, countless cultivators have stopped at Qi Refining, never succeeding in Foundation Establishment their whole lives.

Even in the Yun Tian Sect, only one-tenth of the disciples have hope of reaching Foundation Establishment, with many spending their entire lives at Qi Refining.

Someone like Song Zhuang was originally also without hope of achieving Foundation Establishment.

But now he has not only succeeded in Foundation Establishment, but also completed the process in an instant.

Ye Fan had already quietly put the sand pot into his storage bag; even though he lacked Foundation Establishment experience, he had heard quite a bit about it.

How could Foundation Establishment be so smooth? Who doesn't need to enter seclusion and make an impact?

It must be that the Foundation Establishment Pill given by the Immortal Sister is overly heaven-defying and domineering, allowing cultivators to reach the heavens in a single step without any effort.

Such a Foundation Establishment Pill is bound to cause a sensation soon.

Compared to the inexperienced Ye Fan, the stimulation Song Yun received was certainly not small.

You should know that when he initially achieved Foundation Establishment, he made thorough preparations, took a Foundation Establishment Pill and various spiritual medicines, yet still needed over a month of seclusion to break through the barrier successfully.

Compared to this Song Zhuang, he seems to be the disciple with extremely poor comprehension!

Soon, the commotion from his successful Foundation Establishment attracted attention.

The Golden Core Elders hidden among the peaks all sensed this abnormal commotion, and several elders from various peaks promptly set out, rushing to this place.

The first to arrive was the Outer Sect Elder Zhou Changgeng, who happened to be passing by this place.

"This place is the residence of the Inner Sect Core Disciples; how could there be Foundation Establishment fluctuations?"

Out of curiosity, Elder Zhou flew down and landed outside the cave dwelling.

Ye Fan and the two others, sensing the aura, hurried out of the cave dwelling, and Elder Zhou glanced at Song Zhuang at once.

"Was it you who achieved Foundation Establishment here?"

Song Zhuang was still excited; upon hearing this, he immediately clasped his fists and replied in the affirmative.

"Replying to Elder, it is indeed this disciple who just achieved Foundation Establishment."

Elder Zhou's eyes flickered with some surprise; this disciple is his Outer Sect disciple, having been in the sect for about three years with rather ordinary talent—how could he have achieved Foundation Establishment?

"Your Foundation Establishment commotion is not small; it seems you made ample preparations."

Song Zhuang: "Elder, I achieved Foundation Establishment in an instant, without making any preparations."

Elder Zhou furrowed his brows; he most disliked those who spouted wild talk, and was about to reprimand, when suddenly he sensed several Golden Core auras approaching from afar.

"He didn't lie; he truly completed Foundation Establishment in an instant. What is your name?"

As they spoke, three figures slowly emerged from the clouds, standing in midair and looking down upon Ye Fan and the two others.

Their gazes did not linger on Ye Fan at all, but all turned to Song Zhuang.

Song Zhuang suddenly felt an immense pressure and dropped to his knees.

"Replying to the several Elders, I am called Song Zhuang, an Outer Sect disciple, and it is indeed this disciple who just achieved Foundation Establishment."

"I received one Foundation Establishment Pill, and after taking it I successfully broke through."

Before the Elders could press further, Song Zhuang himself laid out the whole situation.

Seeing this, Song Yun frowned and secretly cursed, "This Song Zhuang is good for nothing—doesn't this amount to selling out Ye Fan, my junior disciple?"

But soon Song Yun stopped worrying, seeing that Ye Fan was composed and not angered by Song Zhuang's loose talk, his heart eased somewhat.

It seems Ye Fan, my junior disciple, originally intended to keep that Foundation Establishment Pill secret.

After the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, Ye Fan and Song Yun had already arrived at the Sect Master Peak.

Besides Elder Zhou, at that moment there were five Inner Sect Elders inside the cave dwelling, all curiously staring at the sand pot before them.

"Is this the Foundation Establishment Pill inside?"

Ye Fan nodded, feeling a little nervous but mostly excited.

He paid no attention to the Elders' chatter; all he wanted now was to contact Lin Meng.

"Immortal Sister, the Foundation Establishment Pill you gave works amazingly well—it's a hundred times stronger than ours here, and after taking it one can actually achieve Foundation Establishment instantly!"

Lin Meng, upon hearing Ye Fan's words, happened to be eating takeout, and her mixed braised dish happened to contain half a boiled egg.

She stared at the half braised egg in a daze, thinking that in the future, when she herself attempts Foundation Establishment, she won't be so fortunate.

Whether it's cola, organic rice, or this boiled egg, they are worthless to her here, but once she goes to the Tiangang Continent, they can benefit the cultivators there.

But soon she realized that obtaining the opportunity to cultivate on Earth is already remarkable—what more could she ask for, a bicycle?

Thus Lin Meng pondered and then replied to Ye Fan:

"If the effect is good, isn't that even better? That way, when you achieve Foundation Establishment, you won't need to exert yourself."

Ye Fan nodded excitedly; he had originally been worried about his own Foundation Establishment, fearing insufficient time to meet the Inner Sect Examination, and also worried about his mediocre talent—even if he had the Immortal Sister's Foundation Establishment Pill, he might still fail.

Now it seems he has nothing to worry about at all.

Senior Brother Song Zhuang's cultivation talent is inferior to his, yet he can achieve Foundation Establishment instantly in place—so he must also be fine.

"You are Ye Fan, right? When did you join the sect?"

At this moment, the Elder asked a question, and Ye Fan had to cut off his connection with the Immortal Sister.

He bowed and replied, "I am Ye Fan, an Outer Sect menial disciple; I have only just joined the sect this year."

The several Elders exchanged glances and all nodded in approval.

"You managed to reach the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining in your first year of entry, your talent is not bad—so why are you merely a menial disciple?"

As the words fell, everyone turned their gaze to Zhou Changgeng.

Elder Zhou's face flushed; although the Outer Sect falls under his jurisdiction, he cannot possibly handle every matter personally, and he has hardly any impression of this little disciple.

Ye Fan looked at Zhou Changgeng, and he actually had some impression of this person.

The first time the spirit rice aura leaked, it was when this elder stepped in the air above his cave dwelling, making him extremely nervous.

"This is my negligence; such a promising seedling shouldn't be buried. Ye Fan, your outer sect examination for this time is waived; you can directly proceed to the inner sect disciple examination."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan remained unmoved by praise or disgrace; with his current strength, completing the examination was not difficult, and Elder Zhou merely saved him a necessary procedure.

Everyone had finished studying the Foundation Establishment Pill, and each person's face showed a mix of shock and confusion.

"Such a pill is unheard of and unseen; do any of you have any higher opinions?"

"Obviously, this is not an egg."

"Isn't this nonsense! Say something human!"

"In my view, don't wild-guess; under heaven there are countless capable people, Cloud Heaven Sect is merely a corner of heaven and earth, there are many oddities in the world, this Foundation Establishment Pill that looks and smells like a boiled egg might just be a unique formula from some corner of heaven and earth."

Everyone nodded, and Song Yun interjected at the right moment.

"Elders, it's also like when eating……"

""

The topic finally got to the point; the elders hoped Ye Fan would leave all these Foundation Establishment Pills to the sect, and the corresponding conditions naturally need to be discussed.

"Ye Fan, there are nineteen eggs in total here; tell me, what resources do you want to exchange for?"

Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he immediately contacted Lin Meng.

"The sect asks what reward I want; fairy sister, what do you want?"
