87: It's you guys, that's alright (revise, rewrite!)

“The heart belongs to Fire, governing the body's essence; the liver belongs to Wood, governing the body's growth; the spleen belongs to Earth, governing the body's development; the lungs belong to Metal, governing the body's guidance; the kidneys belong to Water, governing the body'sRefined.”

“The Five Elements circulate to form a grand canopy.”

“The twelfth layer of Qi Gathering is indeed extraordinary; not only did it allow my cultivation to smoothly Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“Even the gourd, which was roughly assembled just now, inexplicably became my Lifebound Treasure.”

Xiao Qingyuan was very excited after his Breakthrough.

There was no unusual phenomenon, because he absorbed the Spiritual Qi from the ore vein and also used Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

There was no need for a violent surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to create a Qi Gathering phenomenon.

The Breakthrough was silent.

He then became somewhat puzzled.

“Didn't they say that only at the Golden Core Realm is there a chance to refine a Lifebound Treasure? How can it be done at Foundation Establishment too?”

“Hahahaha, no matter what, doesn't this mean that I, Xiao Qingyuan, can possess two Lifebound Treasures?”

“This is too amazing, isn't it? Is this the benefit of a twelfth-layer Qi Gathering Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment?”

According to historical records,

the phenomena of a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough are divided into four types.

A one-li Qi Gathering is considered unranked.

A three-li Qi Gathering is called Low Grade Qi Gathering.

A six-li Qi Gathering is called Medium Grade.

A nine-li Qi Gathering is High Grade.

And a ten-li Qi Gathering is also known as Peerless Qi Gathering.

Which is Heavenly Foundation Establishment.

Xiao Qingyuan didn't know how far his phenomenon would extend if he had broken through outside.

But at the moment of his Breakthrough, even his Foundation Establishment Divine Sense, which had broken through earlier, inexplicably increased by one layer.

He could at least perceive eighteen li.

It almost spread into the clan!

At that moment, with a thought, he felt he could draw all the Spiritual Qi within an eighteen-li radius.

This definitely far exceeded the legendary Heavenly Foundation Establishment.

Do not underestimate this mere layer.

Unlike the Qi Gathering Realm, which has twelve layers,

the Cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm only has four Realms: Foundation Establishment Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Perfection.

An increase of one layer is equivalent to an effect comparable to a previous major Realm.

It could even allow him to spontaneously learn to fly with a sword in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment without a master.

“It wasn't easy. During the Foundation Establishment Breakthrough, even this gourd and the Spirit Communication Flame in my heart gained a lot of benefits under the baptism of the power of Heaven and Earth.”

It's no wonder Lifebound Treasures are called the most special treasures.

They can always give birth to all sorts of incredible powers.”

Xiao Qingyuan, with a joyful expression, re-summoned the gourd and played with it, examining it.

Originally, he had simply melted the demonic core, theNashi, and three thousand six hundred catties of star iron into the geng metal gourd.

Then, he could no longer suppress his impending Breakthrough in Cultivation.

He stored it in his Dantian at the last moment.

He didn't even have time to check its functions.

He never expected that at the next moment, when the power of Heaven and Earth infused his body,

this thing would actually spontaneously begin to snatch the power of Heaven and Earth.

Xiao Qingyuan certainly wouldn't be stingy, which led to the later events of the treasure gourd upgrading from barely a second-tier Low Grade Magic Treasure all the way to a second-tier Medium Grade.

It even spontaneously melted all the Materials into one furnace, generating mysterious and unfathomable runes.

The best Artifact Refiner in the world couldn't create it.

It was perfectly integrated.

This made Xiao Qingyuan even more curious about its function.

However, just as he wanted to investigate further,

a very uncomfortable “premonition” suddenly arose in his mind, as if something he could not accept was about to happen.

He heard no sound,

but he still felt as if someone was calling him.

He suddenly stood up.

His Divine Sense instantly spread out.

His figure vanished in an instant.

He sped towards his home... “Xiao Clan Immortal Family, hahahaha, look who it is!”

Xie Sandao, with a sinister expression, grabbed a half-grown child.

Behind him were a middle-aged couple, pressed down.

“Ah ah ah, daughter, my daughter!”

“Wuwah, older sister!”

Xie Sandao smiled coldly.

Although taking hostages was not very honorable, it didn't matter.

He wanted the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He also wanted the Xiao Clan's resources.

This was a war of annihilation.

There was no morality to speak of.

However, he didn't notice the strange expressions of the Xiao Clan Members.

“Hey, who is this person?” The Xiao Clan Members had strange expressions.

“Don't know him!”

“Unclear!”

“Don't know!”

Guanyin Nu and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing who it was.

Only Xiaoqing's eyes flashed with confusion, then lit up, but she then felt it wasn't quite right.

She took small, quick steps to her older sister's side.

“Sister, it seems to be father, mother, and little brother! They're dressed like wealthy gentlemen, I almost didn't recognize them, it seems they're doing very well! What should we do, what should we do? How did they know about our relationship?”

Xiaobai looked at her and actually wanted to laugh, but her awkward expression of desperately trying to suppress a smile made her speechless. At a time like this, stop trying to be cute, okay?

However, a hint of a smile also flashed across her face.

She suddenly turned to look at Xiao Qingduo behind her: “Eldest Cousin, please allow me to call you that. I, Jiang Congqing, the luckiest thing in my life was meeting you.”

“Ah? Me?” Xiao Qingduo, who was already extremely nervous, turned green instantly upon hearing this and frantically denied it: “I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!”

“The child is Xiao Qingyuan's!”

“Bah! We have no relationship whatsoever!”

Xiao Qingduo was incoherent, and the more he spoke, the darker his father's face became.

Good heavens, what the heck.

If you say that, others will think they have something going on!

Realizing this, he quickly turned to his legitimate fiancée and gesticulated, trying to explain.

His face was anxious, and he stammered, unable to form a complete sentence.

Fortunately, Jiang Congqing's next words made him breathe a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Eldest Cousin, for taking me from Peach Blossom Village and bringing me to my husband.”

This is the luckiest thing in my life.

Meeting my husband is the greatest fortune of my life.

I am very grateful to you!

So, I've already gained a lot in this life.”

“Don't!”

As soon as she said this, Xiao Qingduo felt a bad premonition.

The next second, he couldn't speak.

She took a step forward, ignoring Xiao Qingduo, and immediately spoke out: “Yellow-haired monster, it's useless, you can't threaten me.”

I'm not afraid of death, but my husband is the most powerful person in this world, and he will definitely avenge me!

So my parents aren't afraid either.

If you want to threaten us, you might as well give up now.”

Eldest Cousin opened his mouth. The misunderstanding was cleared, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But why did her words sound so strange?

No matter how he listened, it sounded like she wished them dead!

The three of them became anxious upon hearing this.

This youngest son had already been accepted as a disciple by an Immortal, and the Immortal said that if he earned Formation, he would have all the glory and wealth!

“Bah, you good-for-nothing, you're unfilial!”

“You want us dead!”

The old woman was the first to get anxious, crying loudly.

The youngest son's eyes were even red as he screamed: “Good-for-nothing, jinx, let me in, let me in.”

The old man earnestly said: “Daughter, I know we weren't good to you, but now I just want to make it up to you, please save us, at least save your brother.”

If we die, you really won't be able to live as human beings!

And Congbai, you mustn't forget the kindness of upbringing!”

However, Xiaoqing's mouth curled: “You also know you weren't good to me! Oh, besides my brother, in this family, my sister and I have never been treated as human beings.”

Working hard is fine, not eating enough is fine.

But selling us for two taels of silver, that's not okay!

Saying that, Xiaoqing rummaged through her Storage Pouch again and again.

Finally, she found the smallest Spirit Stone fragment and threw it into the sky with all her might.

“The kindness of upbringing, today I repay it a hundredfold!”

“As for letting you in, you can just give up on that idea!”
