Only when you become stronger can you help me more.\" Jiang Yan interrupted the Coffin Spirit and patted its... coffin lid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Dao Foundation was born, it came with a Tribulation Lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To condense more, it would require massive resources, luck, or tribulation power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a precious item should be used to maximize profit, investing in some genius or enemy to harvest them later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Jiang Yan's eyes, its value was far less than the loyal Coffin Spirit that had always been by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wuu wuu... Master, Little Coffin will not let you down!\" The Coffin Spirit was moved to tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must complete the Coffin Palace project and give its Master a big surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack, crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coffin lid opened, swallowing the Tribulation Lotus in one gulp. Its aura began to rise, quickly crossing into the Dao Foundation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It successfully condensed the \"Life-less Burial Coffin Dao Foundation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its appearance was like a black coffin, wreathed in ashes, like the underworld, emitting a terrifying aura that could bury all things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Coffin Spirit murmured, \"Master, my [See Coffin, Get Rich] skill seems a bit different, but I can't say what changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then wait until we bury some corpses later to test it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan also felt an invisible connection slowly feeding back to him, curious about the other effects of the Tribulation Lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no time now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already sensed the aura outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was already waiting at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba Lie asked anxiously, \"What is your realm now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan replied, \"Dao Foundation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words fell, Niu Tunan said with deep distress:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really deserve to die!
