144: Chapter 144 Huang Youcai's Foundation Building

The modification of the Kings Sword was quite simple; Wang Bin completed it in only half a month after returning.

It only needed a magazine added, and it could fire five shots continuously at once.

Looking back at the modified gun in his hand, it was essentially a modification of the bullets, simply switching to a different type of bullet.

Wang Bin made three guns for himself in one go, and also produced over twenty bullets, stopping only when he ran out of Materials.

Making things alone was indeed troublesome; he had to do everything himself.

Once he became powerful, Wang Bin planned to pass this technology to his sons, letting them handle it.

At this time, Wang Bin's Cultivation was almost ready to attempt Golden Core, and he researched the 'battery,' but due to his limited knowledge and the insufficient Formation and Artifact Refining Rank in the Cultivation World, he couldn't solve the battery problem.

Following the methods from his previous life was even more difficult; there were no parts to buy, everything had to be made from scratch, and many details from nothing to something were unclear to him, so he temporarily reached a deadlock.

However, he suddenly remembered a major matter: after successfully forming his Core, he would also have to face the Golden Core Tribulation.

What if the Chu Family's method for undergoing Lightning Tribulation had a success rate issue?

Wang Bin planned to make a lightning rod and several lightning protection frames, just in case.

If he couldn't withstand the Lightning Tribulation, he could take out the lightning rod and guide the power of the lightning into the ground, which would greatly reduce the damage he received.

No sooner said than done, after multiple experiments, Wang Bin discovered that lightning rods made of gold had the best effect due to their superior conductivity.

Although even Wang Bin himself found it hard to believe, that was the reality.

However, gold's hardness was slightly lacking, so Wang Bin mixed in some other metals, making it just right.

Wang Bin obtained a thousand catties of gold from Du Xiaoyue and, after adding other metals, made a large lightning rod.

He tested the effect, and most of the lightning generated by a Rank 2 Thunder Manipulation Array could be guided underground.

The lightning during the Golden Core Tribulation would certainly be stronger than this, so at least ten lightning rods would be needed, and a metal frame should also be prepared, erected about ten meters above his head for best results.

Counting it up, two hundred thousand catties of gold would be needed, but fortunately, gold wasn't particularly valuable, only a few hundred Spirit Stones' worth.

However, White Cloud City certainly couldn't gather that much gold, so he would have to make a trip to West Sea City.

"Hahahahahahahaha! I have successfully established Foundation!"

Suddenly, a burst of ecstatic laughter rang out; after more than half a year of effort, Huang Youcai finally succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

As soon as he exited the Cultivation chamber, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.

Following his laughter, many people gathered outside the Cultivation chamber; Du Xiaoyue and others all came, their eyes filled with envy.

"Thank you, City Lord, for your benevolence in recreating me!"

Huang Youcai looked as if he had become much younger; his hair had turned black, and his skin had become tender.

After all, at eighty years old, he was still considered in his prime relative to a lifespan of two hundred years.

"Rise! You are now also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so don't kneel at every turn from now on."

"Thank you, City Lord, kneeling to you is proper. This subordinate wishes to return home to share the good news. This is my Foundation Establishment experience. The Meridian Protection Pill and Spirit Liquid have not been used up, and I am returning all of them to you."

Huang Youcai handed over the unused items.

Wang Bin waved his hand, letting him go back, only accepting his Foundation Establishment experience, as this was, after all, the true Legacy of a Family.

Looking at the envious women, Wang Bin said:

"You all should also Cultivate diligently. Since you married me, while Golden Core cannot be guaranteed, Foundation Establishment is definitely not a problem.

Xiaoyue, take this Foundation Establishment experience, prepare yourself, and begin Foundation Establishment as well."

"Mm! I have long been ready for Foundation Establishment!"

Du Xiaoyue prepared to hand over her current work to Qin Wenjun and others before beginning Foundation Establishment.

Not long after, Huang Youcai brought Qin Hongying and his son to the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as they entered, he introduced:

"City Lord, this is my son, Huang Tianming, with Three Spiritual Roots, and already at Qi Refinement Layer Two.

I originally wanted to send him to a School, but then I thought better of it and decided to let him work in the patrol team."

"Greetings, City Lord! I will certainly work diligently!"

Huang Tianming, only in his teens, looked seventy percent like Huang Youcai; he was a little fatty.

"Mm! Cultivate diligently and work earnestly with your father. This shall be your welcoming gift."

Wang Bin gave him a Medium Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword.

Huang Tianming! That name is truly domineering; he's quite bold. Even I wouldn't dare to take such a name, fearing getting beaten to death outside.

"This subordinate, Qin Hongyu, greets the City Lord. The Spirit Wine you asked me to develop has finally been brewed after more than ten years of effort, though it is only a Rank 1 Low Grade Spirit Wine."

At this moment, Qin Hongyu stepped forward, and only then did Wang Bin notice her. He hadn't realized that after more than ten years of not paying attention, she still retained her charm.

It was thanks to her suggestion back then that he got the inspiration to create the Spirit Liquid; otherwise, his Cultivation path would have been much more difficult.

Unfortunately, she was a Mortal. As for the Spirit Wine she brewed, Wang Bin had long forgotten about it. He used to want to brew Spirit Wine to drink himself and sell some for Spirit Stones when he had none, but now he no longer lacked these things.

"Good, you shall be rewarded. Keep the Spirit Wine formula yourself, as your Family's Legacy.

I permit you to build a restaurant next to the orphanage. Your Huang Family can sell it yourselves, and as long as my Huang Family exists, we will not collect rent from you.

Here are also two Face-Preserving Pills and a bottle of Vitality Pills, all as a reward for you."

Such a generous reward, and one that came so unexpectedly, made Qin Hongyu hesitant to accept for a moment.

Wang Bin did not explain, but instead took out a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword from his Storage Pouch—this was what Yin Chengmu had given him back then. In those days, he was so poor that he couldn't even afford a Spiritual Artifact.

"Youcai, this Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword shall be your congratulatory gift for reaching Foundation Establishment Stage.

Your future Salary will be issued by the City Lord's Mansion, five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones annually."

"Thank you, City Lord! My Family and I will surely pledge our lives to serve the City Lord!"

Huang Youcai's entire Family thanked him gratefully.

Wang Bin waved his hand and said:

"Alright, you all can go back and celebrate yourselves. Don't delay the patrol duties within the city. Also, have Chen Jun come over."

"This subordinate takes his leave."

Huang Youcai pulled the still-dazed Qin Hongyu out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon after, Chen Jun arrived, his heart in turmoil.

The subordinate whom he used to see as self-indulgent had actually succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

Huang Youcai had clearly given up on Cultivation and even married so many women, delaying a lot of Cultivation time, yet now he had become a Foundation Establishment Senior, full of vigor. This left Chen Jun with mixed feelings.
