After Xuan Hua left, Lin Zhizhi focused on cultivating and reaching the foundation establishment stage.
Even his powerful and unfathomable master was affected by his enchanting physique, making him feel a little apprehensive. If his master had insisted on continuing, or if it was someone else by his side at that time, he would have to wave his virginity and physique goodbye. He was practically powerless when his physique flared up.
Only by establishing his cultivation realm to the Foundation establishment stage could he temporarily suppress his physique using his cultivation until Xuan Hua returns.
The road of cultivation is long. It is divided into five stages, which are Qi refining, foundation establishment, core formation, nascent soul, and finally, spirit transformation. The foundation establishment realm of cultivation is like the gates of heaven itself, shutting out numerous disciples from entering this realm. Even in the four major sects, as long as a disciple can reach the foundation establishment stage, they would immediately be promoted into an inner sect disciple.
Lin Zhizhi had been sitting in a cross-legged position at the end of Xuanshuang road, letting the condensed ice rage all over him. Inside the palm of his hand was a Foundation establishment pill.
At this moment, the young master of the Lin family had already reached the peak of the thirteenth stage of the Qi refining realm. As he had experienced numerous life and death struggles inside the Tianfu hidden realm, his cultivation base had become a lot more solid. Coupled with his aptitude, the amount of spiritual energy he’s absorbing is more than ten times that of an average spiritual root. Lin Zhizhi had a hunch that he would most likely succeed in entering the foundation establishment realm if he swallowed the foundation establishment pill at this moment.
The black-haired boy made up his mind and swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill into his mouth. Suddenly, a warm flow of heat poured into his spiritual veins, he felt pain all over his body as his body expelled the impurity inside him. As the owner of a heavenly spiritual root, Lin Zhizhi didn’t have many impurities inside his body. The medicinal power of the foundation establishment pill gradually came into play, while the young man’s body was being purified, a long and spacious path had unfurled right in front of his eyes.
If he had an average spiritual root, the foundation establishment road’s width would’ve been less than a person’s body. The potential of the heavenly spiritual root has always been far ahead of practically everyone else since birth.
As Lin Zhizhi walked through the road of foundation building again, he began to absorb the spiritual energy around him.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth overflowed from every direction, layering up at the end of the road, forming a tower of foundation. When he finished walking this road, the foundation tower was about eight and a half feet tall, spotless without any blemishes defiling it.
As long as Lin Zhizhi took the last step forward, he would settle into the foundation building stage.
But Lin Zhizhi was a little hesitant. He stopped in front of the tower of the foundation because he wasn’t satisfied with something.
Written in an ancient book, the perfect foundation tower since the beginning of the world was nine feet high as the ultimate foundation.
His foundation tower comes very close to that. One must know that most cultivators’ foundation towers could only reach five feet tall, and those who can reach more than six feet would all become outstanding people.
But if you don’t have the mentality to achieve the perfect foundation, how could you transcend the way of the heavens and achieve the status of an immortal?!
What Lin Zhizhi wants isn’t simply the top, but transcendence!
He stopped at a spot one step away from the tower, he reached his hand out and grasped the tower, wanting to snatch the tower’s spiritual energy from the sky and the earth! The fleck of light that had stopped suddenly became agitated again, raising the tower of foundation in front of him a little more.
Still not enough.
In order to take that step, the young master of the Lin family squinted his beautiful phoenix eyes and boldly released the spiritual energy inside his body. At the same time, he grabbed the spiritual energy that belonged to him during meditation!
His behavior can be summed up in one sentence: what is mine is still mine, and what is not mine will eventually become mine!
These two spiritual Qi poured into the tower of foundation once again, gradually growing into the ultimate nine feet tall tower, finally reaching eight feet nine, stopping right in front of the door.
Now that they’re all here, how could Lin Zhizhi give up like this? He wanted to continue, but he then felt pressure from heaven and earth when the foundation tower in front of him crashed to the ground!
At this moment, the barriers of the human realm could no longer accommodate the perfect foundation. Whenever a peerless genius is about to touch the threshold, they will always get disturbed by heaven’s might.

When the distance from building a foundation is still far from one’s reach, it isn’t bad to think that one could establish a foundation. But once it is at their fingertips, they will always think about surpassing others.
Lin Zhizhi has always been proud.
He didn’t feel that he was hopeless in achieving this perfection, it’s just that he lacks a little opportunity.
After another failed attempt to get another enlightenment, Lin Zhizhi chose to leave Xuanshuang road and returned to the outer gates of the Luo immortal sword sect, preparing to go to the mission office to take a look at the missions.
He’s now half a step into the foundation establishment realm, and his self-mortification against himself couldn’t do anything to change that.
What had happened inside the hidden realm had not been publicized in the outer sect. If you want to please the sect master, then you don’t want to cause the disciples under the sect to panic.
When Lin Zhizhi came to the mission office, he was stunned for a moment.
A man and a woman were standing at the entrance of the task office. The male disciple looked like an honest person and was dressed in textile clothing. Above his head was a text saying, [Xie Lu, favorability index 70, his attitude towards you is friendly.], while his female companion is a petite and cute disciple with a colorful light pink gauze belt wrapped around her waist. There are also texts above her head that read, [Xie Ling, favorability index 80, her attitude towards you is admiration]
Besides this brother and sister stood another person, who, at first glance, looked like a rich second-generation teenager. He possesses a handsome generation and carries himself with a dignified posture, but sadly, it was ruined by the things on his body that destroyed his artistic conception. In addition to the Spatial ring in his hand, he also carried a dazzling array of various spiritual weapon bracelets, and he walked as if he was afraid that other people wouldn’t know about this local tyrant. At this moment, the words above the young man’s head read, [Qi Ting, favorability index 0, his attitude to you is indifference] continued with a line saying that he was courting Xie Ling.
Xie Ling was obviously annoyed by him, and her beautiful eyes looked all around her but refused to look in his direction. At this moment, she happened to see the unforgettable black-haired young man who had rescued her in the hidden realm. Pleasantly surprised, she ran up to Lin Zhizhi with quick small steps and bowed his head a little before shyly saying, “Brother Lin, we meet again…”
Qi Ting watched the actions, and when he saw Lin Zhizhi for the first time, he had an ominous feeling.
The truth is that everyone loves beauty. Just by looking at his appearance and temperament, Qi Ting could tell that this young man, who he has never met before, is the most charming man he has ever seen.
But seeing Xie Ling’s expression, Qi Ting immediately changed his impression of the other, thinking that no matter how good-looking this man is, he must be an ordinary little white face, and had deceived his junior sister with his face! The favorability level on his head has actually changed to [index -50, his attitude is his rival in love. ]
Lin Zhizhi, “…”
I don’t know why, but I always feel like I always got passively caught in some huge emotional vortex-
Xie Lu came over and wanted to reach his hand out and pat Lin Zhizhi’s shoulder to surprise the other. But when his hand was halfway to the other’s shoulder, he remembered that Lin Zhizhi didn’t like to be in contact with people in the secret realm. He was forced to retract his hand and pretended that nothing happened and said with a smile, “It’s good to see that brother Lin is okay too, it was a nightmare inside the…”
Noticing Qi Ting approaching them, his voice lowered.
Lin Zhizhi nodded and greeted the two, he had no intentions of reminiscing with the siblings who had a good relationship with each other. He raised his foot and wanted to enter the mission office and sighed, an admirer, making him recall his former first love. Now, he had no intentions of falling in love and only wanted to quickly enter the foundation establishment realm and get off his ticking time bomb.
Xie Ling also followed him in. She watched the black-haired boy look up at the delicate papers with the current task written on them before lowering his head in thought.
Qi Ting’s teeth became itchy once he caught sight of this. He had been pursuing this junior sister for so long, but he had never seen her look at him with this gaze!
“Brother Lin, do you want to take a mission? it just so happens that we’re here to release a quest.” Seeing this, Xie Lu was overjoyed and hurriedly invited Lin Zhizhi, ” I wonder if Brother Lin would be interested to join us?”
Lin Zhizhi raised his eyebrow. Seeing the quagmire between these three people, he isn’t very pleased in his heart. He just wanted to find an excuse to reject the other when he found Xie Lu’s name in the column of the publisher’s name and followed it to see the contents of his task.
“It’s related to building a foundation?”
Xie Lu vigorously nodded as he answered, “Well, my sister and I have a special event…”
In Short, the Xie family is a small family in Linye City. Together with two other families in the city, they possess a spring. This spring was claimed to be able to increase the probability of building a foundation, but it isn’t that simple.
In recent years, the Xie family has declined, and the other two families wanted to completely occupy the spring water. The spring was small, and the water produced in one year could only provide enough for ten people. Usually, three spots would be reserved for each of the three clans, and the remaining one would be auctioned at a high price. But this year, the other clan had proposed that the Xie family would only be given one quota, arousing the anger of the Xie family. However, the two families thoroughly pressured the Xie family, making them feel bitter and resentful.
After several discussions, a conclusion was reached.
Only the strong are respected! And so, they set an age limit on the younger generation that are qualified to participate.
The pair of siblings were the most qualified people in the Xie family. Although they haven’t established their foundations yet, the Xie family couldn’t find a suitable candidate in their family other than the two of them, and so, they had no choice but to return. The two brothers and sisters wanted to come up with another quota, so they published this mission so that a disciple of the sect would help them out.
After Lin Zhizhi finished listening to the other’s explanation, his mind began to think. He originally came here to increase his chances of building the perfect foundations, as for Qi Ting… Well, he’s insignificant compared to building the perfect foundation.
With this in mind, Lin Zhizhi agreed to Xie Lu’s invitation.
Hearing Lin Zhizhi’s reply, Xie Ling cheered and said, “With brother Ling’s help, we’ll definitely succeed!”
Qi Ting was unhappy after hearing what she said. Pretending to be polite, he asked Xie Ling, “Junior sister Xie, who is this brother?”
Xie Ling impatiently answered Qi Ting, “Brother Lin also went into the Tianfu hidden realm with us. He also happened to save me and my brother inside the hidden realm, senior brother.”
“Dare to ask this junior brother’s name? It is no exaggeration to say that practically everyone knows about this Qi Ting in this mountain.” Qi Ting said as he turned to face Lin Zhizhi, he exaggeratedly asked the other, “Has junior brother heard of me? I’m Qi Ting, Qi- Ting-”
“…This junior brother hasn’t heard about senior brother yet.”
“Then junior brother is too ignorant! What is this junior brother’s name? Maybe I’ve heard about you.”
“Lin Zhizhi.” In order to prevent Qi Ting from harassing him again, Lin Zhizhi had no choice but to quickly reply to the other’s queries.
Lin Zhizhi? Why don’t you just squeak like a hamster instead? though, it also sound a bit cute…
Qi Ting searched for his name inside his mind, and his first reaction is that he really hasn’t heard about the other. He was relieved and mocked the other inside his heart. It seems that this time, he could still happily bully the other and force this person to leave his junior sister.
Hehe wait- No, this name… seems to be a little familiar…
Squeak… I knew it!
He and Lan Zhen both belonged to the dandy disciple type. He had heard others mention this name before. They were disciples from an aristocratic family, capable of overwhelming him in every aspect. When he heard Lin Zhizhi’s name, he said that this guy’s name sounded like a squeaking hamster… And then he got mocked by Lan Zhen for being ignorant, reciting the popular phrase in “The analects of Confucius” for him.
He had some impressions of Lin Zhizhi, mainly because the Lan Zhen’s cultivation base isn’t bad, and he was also the young master of the Lan family. How terrifying could someone be to be able to oppress young master Lan like this? Letting himself get beaten and not daring to fight back, he even turned his back against the wicked little phoenix in the Xumi illusion realm?
And now he sees why… But oh dear mother, he had just become his rival in love! how could he prevail through this?!
#Damn, he can’t bully the other with his own might#
#As a villain, the thing I hate most is that the other party is much more handsome, stronger, and richer than himself!#
#How could god be so unfair#
#No! It’s just that his dad isn’t as good as his!#
Lin Zhizhi ; eight point five?! Not enough! I demand perfection!
Cultivators stuck in the Qi refining realm & foundation establishment cultivators with their 5 – 6 feet tall foundation tower, oozing with jealousy ; This ambitious brat!
