Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Any cultivator, whether single spirit root or multiple spirit roots, upon reaching Foundation Establishment has only one thing to do: constantly accumulate spiritual power.

Now, Xu Zhangqing's wood spirit power had merged from nine drops into one pool; not only had quantity changed, but quality had changed as well, with both concentration and strength at least doubled.

Yet he did not stop, continuing to absorb attribute-less spiritual qi.

This was because, although wood spirit power had already reached the standard of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, fire spirit power had not accumulated much during this period, so there was only one drop in his Qi Sea.

Xu Zhangqing's biggest problem was that, although he had a fire spirit root, he could not find a place to absorb fire spirit qi; now facing so much attribute-less spiritual qi, it was obviously an excellent opportunity to absorb and improve, so he could not miss it.

In the time to come, the fire spirit power occupying the other half of his Qi Sea also began to slowly increase in quantity.

One drop, two drops, five drops, seven drops—just as it was about to reach nine drops.

Suddenly, at the entrance behind him, a man's fierce shout came: "Anyone other than earth spirit root holders cannot stay here; I don't care who you are, leave immediately."

"Hmm?" Xu Zhangqing opened his eyes and couldn't help but turn to look.

This person wore a set of bright yellow armor, tall and imposing in stature.

He had a pair of copper-bell giant eyes, with a rather fierce gaze.

Standing there, he seemed not like a person, but like a towering great mountain.

Han Xin whispered a reminder: "This person is Yang Zhenyue, the steward of our Spiritual Vein; he's starting to drive people away, so you can't stay any longer."

If it were an ordinary Formal Disciple, or some Array Master,

Han Xin could still try to talk to him, perhaps getting some face.

But a steward was different—his strength and status were even higher than a Core Disciple's, and what's more, this fellow named Yang Zhenyue had no simple identity or background.

After some thought, Xu Zhangqing said: "But I'm about to break through to Foundation Establishment!"

Such a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, he absolutely could not miss.

No matter what, he must raise both the quantity and quality of his fire spirit power to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage; the two spirit powers cooperating with each other could even contend with a single spirit root cultivator of Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Even if not fighting, using it for slash-and-burn fire seeding or daily use would be more convenient.

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Han Xin was dumbfounded.

Watching Yang Zhenyue on the other side driving people away, she thought it over, finally stood up helplessly, and walked toward him.

Yang Zhenyue raised an eyebrow and shouted: "You're not going to devour Yellow Qi, so what are you looking for me for?"

Han Xin pointed to Xu Zhangqing sitting cross-legged behind her, then said: "That one is a wood spirit root friend of mine."

Yang Zhenyue glanced sideways, then urged without giving any face at all: "Hurry up and have him leave."

Han Xin quickly explained: "But my friend is about to break through to Foundation Establishment!"

"Uh." Yang Zhenyue was stunned on the spot.

In that case, he really couldn't drive the person away.

When breaking through a realm, any mistake could lead to disaster.

Breakthrough failure was a small matter; the key was possibly dying on the spot.

Although the other party was merely a Qi Refining Stage wood spirit root, one of countless spirit farmers,

still, at such a critical moment, one really couldn't just say drive away and drive away.

After thinking it over, Yang Zhenyue walked toward Xu Zhangqing.

Han Xin, seeing this, hurriedly followed closely behind.

Xu Zhangqing kept seizing the opportunity to continuously devour attribute-less spiritual qi; even knowing someone was approaching, even that it was the steward of the Spiritual Vein, he still did not stop.

After all, attribute-less spiritual qi only transformed into fire spirit power in the Qi Sea after being inhaled into the body and refined; thus outsiders could not detect it, and besides, he had Full Level 【Qinglian Creation Art】.

Walking up beside him, Yang Zhenyue narrowed his eyes, his gaze sizing him up and down; the person before him indeed radiated dense wood spirit power all over.

But to be safe, especially to prevent the other from lying, he deployed his Golden Core Divine Sense, enveloping this person within it.

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing's spiritual qi absorption speed, refinement efficiency, and especially the aura he emitted were indeed very similar to when breaking through, appearing not to be lying.

But Yang Zhenyue always felt something was off, yet couldn't put his finger on it.

Han Xin was very nervous inside and couldn't help but ask: "Steward, what do you think?"

Yang Zhenyue furrowed his brow, but his attitude was no longer harsh: "Wait until he breaks through before leaving."

Han Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Great."

If Yang Zhenyue insisted Xu Zhangqing leave, she could only bring out Li Lingbi.

Perhaps the other party would give a Core Disciple some face.

Although Xu Zhangqing was cultivating, he could still hear the two people's conversation behind him; while breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, he finally refined out the ninth drop of fire spirit power.

Indeed, exactly the same as with wood spirit power; when reaching nine drops, they quickly gathered together, mutually devouring and fusing, finally becoming one pool of fire spirit power.

However, these two spirit powers in his Qi Sea were a bit strange—the fire spirit power actually wanted to devour the wood spirit power, so he had to keep a close watch on it at all times.

And currently, Xu Zhangqing had already raised his realm to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage; even the two spirit powers in his Qi Sea had taken on the form that only Foundation Establishment Middle Stage spirit powers have.

But to avoid drawing attention, he only released dense wood spirit power, no longer disguising, but directly erupting with the aura unique to Foundation Establishment.

"Someone broke through?"

"Foundation Establishment, my longed-for Foundation Establishment!"

"This person is actually a wood spirit root?"

The Foundation Establishment aura was released, immediately drawing the attention of those around.

They all focused their gazes on Xu Zhangqing, their eyes filled with either envy or jealousy.

After all, there is an essential difference between Qi Refining Stage cultivators and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

Especially after reaching Foundation Establishment Stage, one receives one Middle-grade Spirit Stone and one bottle of Foundation Spirit Pills as a reward every month.

As for Wood Spiritual Root spirit farmers, as soon as they report the information, they immediately obtain one mu of Second Grade Spirit Field, and even every time they break through a realm in the future, they can obtain another mu of Second Grade Spirit Field.

In other words, this person is about to take off.

Xu Zhangqing stood up, smiling as he cupped his hands in a bow: "Thank you, Steward Yang, Elder Sister Han!"

Han Xin rolled her eyes displeasedly and did not want to say a word.

Yang Zhenyue instead spoke in a deep voice: "Congratulations on your breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Stage, but the Spiritual Vein is becoming increasingly dangerous; please leave here quickly."

"Alright, I'm leaving now." Xu Zhangqing handed the Yellow Rice Wine he had taken a sip of and twenty-five jin of Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine to Han Xin, then walked toward the entrance.

Han Xin weighed it and thought to herself: "Thirty jin, this kid has some conscience."

Yang Zhenyue glared: "Others have already broken through to a new realm, what are you doing holding onto wine water? Hurry up and devour the Yellow Qi?!"

Han Xin gave an embarrassed smile, quickly put away the wine water, then holding the Compass rose into the air.

Seeing this, Yang Zhenyue opened his right palm, and a greenish-black stone with coarse patterns and hard texture appeared out of thin air, bearing six large characters on it.

【Suppressing Evil Stone】

With a light toss, this greenish-black stone flew out of his hand toward the yellow mist ahead at extreme speed.

Then it radiated an invisible field, reducing the movement speed of all scattered Yellow Qi by fifty percent, while all Earth Spiritual Roots within the field increased their pressure resistance by fifty percent!!!
