Chapter 81: Mu Lingxi Seeks Help

Any heaven-defying cultivation technique must have its drawbacks.

The power of the Three Lives Body technique goes without saying.

But its drawbacks are equally astonishing.

After practicing this technique, the difficulty of Mu Lingxi's Foundation Establishment was raised far too high.

Even a Foundation Establishment Pill that had been purified could not help her break through!

"Could it be that only the legendary Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill will work?"

"But in today's world of cultivation, Perfect Pills have almost gone extinct."

"Where am I supposed to find a Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Mu Lingxi could not help but feel a sense of despair.

She let out a long sigh and left the Pavilion.

Feeling restless, she prepared to walk around the sect to calm the agitation in her heart.

Just as she was passing through an area of the Inner Sect, she was suddenly drawn by the sound of a conversation.

"Have you heard? Something big happened in the Outer Sect a while ago."

"Pfft, who has the time to pay attention to what happens in the Outer Sect? You really are idle enough."

"Hehe, this matter is definitely explosive enough."

"What matter?"

"Three months ago, that brat Zhou Feng kicked an iron plate in the Outer Sect and was slaughtered by an Outer Sect Disciple who had just reached Foundation Establishment!"

"Damn, that really is explosive. Who is so bold as to dare kill someone within the sect?"

"It seems to be an Outer Sect Disciple named Wang Jianqiang."

Wang Jianqiang!

That old geezer successfully reached Foundation Establishment?

Mu Lingxi was stunned. After coming to her senses, she immediately rushed to the side of the two people who were laughing and talking, and asked one of them urgently, "You just said that Wang Jianqiang of the Outer Sect successfully reached Foundation Establishment?"

The two Inner Sect Disciples had been chatting happily, but when suddenly interrupted, their brows immediately furrowed tightly.

They could be considered someone of note in this Outer Sect.

Who the hell had the guts to be so rude to them?

With faces full of ferocity, the two turned their heads to look.

A beautiful face, young to an excessive degree, immediately came into view.

So beautiful!

The two were stunned, and three words simultaneously popped into their minds.

But the next moment, the two immediately reacted and could not help but shiver.

Their fierce expressions instantly cleared up, and they apologized with a smile, "So it is Junior Sister Mu. We two did not know of Junior Sister Mu's arrival, please forgive us."

Mu Lingxi ignored their previous attitude and repeated the question she had just asked.

"The person you were just talking about is named Wang Jianqiang, right?"

"Is he an old geezer?"

The person Mu Lingxi had questioned nodded, "He is indeed called Wang Jianqiang."

"However, I only heard this as a rumor. It is said that Wang Jianqiang seems to be quite old and was once a famous piece of trash in the Outer Sect. I don't know when he suddenly became enlightened."

Hearing this, Mu Lingxi was completely certain in her heart that the Wang Jianqiang this person spoke of was that old fellow.

To think he had actually successfully reached Foundation Establishment!

Suddenly, she recalled the words Wang Jianqiang had said to her in the Secret Realm before.

Wang Jianqiang had once told her that he could help her with Foundation Establishment.

However, she had dismissed it at the time and did not take it to heart.

But now, he, a Five-Element Waste Spirit Root, had successfully reached Foundation Establishment; perhaps he really could help her!

Thinking of this, hope was rekindled in her heart.

She took flight and shot off in the direction of the Outer Sect.

Outer Sect

Dong Yue had already been waiting outside Wang Jianqiang's room for the better part of a day.

She looked toward the room from time to time, her expression somewhat anxious.

Although she highly recognized Wang Jianqiang's Alchemy level, he was, after all, only a newly minted Second-Grade Advanced Alchemist, and the difficulty of refining an Ancient Pill Formula was extremely high.

It was still inevitable that she would be somewhat worried.

After all... the success or failure of Wang Jianqiang's Alchemy this time concerned her future.

"I wonder how his refining is going now?"

Dong Yue looked at the room again; this was already the umpteenth time she had looked up to watch.

Just at this moment, the room door suddenly opened.

Following that, a figure walked out from the room.

"Junior Nephew Wang, how did the Pill refining go? Did you succeed?"

Seeing Wang Jianqiang walk out, Dong Yue immediately went up to meet him.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and did not speak, instead opening his palm.

In his palm lay three round pills emitting a medicinal fragrance.

Seeing this scene, the heavy stone that had been hanging in Dong Yue's heart finally fell.

A touch of excitement immediately appeared on her face.

It really succeeded!

She had been looking forward to this day for who knows how many years, and now this day had finally arrived...

Dong Yue carefully took the pills from Wang Jianqiang's hands.

She looked at them again and again as if she had obtained a priceless treasure, when suddenly, her expression froze.

"Eh, this isn't right!"

The medicinal power of these three pills was somewhat different from what was recorded in the Pill Formula.

It seemed to be much more potent than what was recorded in the Pill Formula!

This is...

A Perfect Pill!!!

Dong Yue was shocked in her heart.

Wang Jianqiang had not only succeeded in refining the Small Creation Pill, he had even transformed the Small Creation Pill into a Perfect Small Creation Pill!

Is there really someone in this world with such powerful talent for the Dao of Alchemy?

Thinking of this, Dong Yue was so shocked that she did not know what expression to make.

Seeing the look of shock on Dong Yue's face, Wang Jianqiang immediately guessed her thoughts.

He smiled, "Go back and refine them first! Restoring your foundation is what's important."

Hearing this, Dong Yue immediately came back to her senses.

"Many thanks."

She took a deep look at Wang Jianqiang, and then quickly left.

After Dong Yue's figure disappeared into the horizon, Wang Jianqiang was about to return to his room when another figure suddenly appeared in the sky.

This figure was rapidly approaching.

Mu Lingxi?

Seeing this figure, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow and stopped in his tracks.

"Today really is a good day."

Thinking of the words he had once said to her inside the Secret Realm, Wang Jianqiang could not help but laugh.

Before long, Mu Lingxi landed in front of Wang Jianqiang.

"You really have broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"A Five-Element Waste Spirit Root can actually break through; how on earth did you manage to do it?"

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's youthful appearance, Mu Lingxi was full of shock.

Even in the ancient times, it was extremely difficult for a Cultivator with a Five-Element Waste Spirit Root to reach Foundation Establishment.

Nowadays, it has become an almost impossible feat!

Wang Jianqiang smiled upon hearing this, "You didn't just come here today to confirm whether I had broken through, did you!"

Mu Lingxi's expression faltered, and she said somewhat awkwardly, "What you said before about being able to help me break through, is it true?"

"Naturally, it is true," Wang Jianqiang laughed.

"Then if I want you to help me break through, what price do I need to pay?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at her, a flash of hesitation crossing his face, "Before we discuss terms, I need to confirm one thing first."

"What thing?" Mu Lingxi asked.

"How old are you exactly?" Wang Jianqiang said.

"Is that important?" Mu Lingxi looked at Wang Jianqiang with some strangeness.

In the world of immortal cultivation, except for some Cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan, very few people care about age, right?

"It is very important," Wang Jianqiang nodded.

"21 years old."

As she spoke, Mu Lingxi transformed, changing into a different appearance.

It was precisely one of her Three Lives Body forms, that of a young woman.

"This is my original appearance."

That's a relief.

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Wang Jianqiang let out a long sigh of relief.

"Alright, now we can continue our discussion."

"If you want me to help you, the condition is very simple."

"Just sleep with me."
