Chapter 54: Preparing for Foundation Establishment

The process went smoothly, and Zhang Chen received five bowls of demon blood as a reward.
After leaving the Internal Affairs Hall, Zhang Chen headed towards Li Mumin’s cave.
As for these five people, they would become the miscellaneous disciples of the Blood supreme-ruler Sect, and after breaking through the first level of Qi Refinement within a designated time, they could be promoted to outer disciples.
“Is Senior Brother Li here? Zhang Chen requests an audience.”
“Come in.”
After Foundation Establishment, there were several years to consolidate one’s realm and practice Foundation Establishment spells, so Li Mumin was mostly in his cave.
“Zhang Chen greets Senior Brother.”
“Your mission… Wait, you’re at the ninth level of Qi Refinement?” Li Mumin spoke, surprised at Zhang Chen’s cultivation level.
“Zhou Wenting and Jiang Xianghong found out that I provided Senior Brother with blood essence, so they wanted to kill me. But I joined forces with others to kill them instead, and I consumed their blood essence, allowing me to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.”
Zhang Chen revealed his cultivation level to Senior Brother Li as an excuse.
Li Mumin’s expression turned cold. “So that’s how it is. I had planned to master several Foundation Establishment spells before settling the score with them. I didn’t expect them to come after you instead.”
“I heard that they also have a connection with a direct disciple. If this person comes after me, I ask for Senior Brother’s help.” Zhang Chen said respectfully.
Li Mumin nodded. “I’m the one who implicated you in this matter. I’ll release the news that I killed Zhou Wenting and Jiang Xianghong and gave you the blood essence.”
One of Zhang Chen’s purposes in coming to see Li Mumin was to obtain this answer.
This way, his sudden cultivation breakthrough wouldn’t attract unwanted attention.
“Thank you, Senior Brother. Apart from this, I have something else to ask.” “What is it?”
“I’ve already reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation, so I can prepare for Foundation Establishment. I want to ask Senior Brother about the Foundation Establishment stage.”
He had offended a Foundation Establishment Daoist priest who could control ghosts, and he wouldn’t be safe until he reached Foundation Establishment.
And within the Blood supreme-ruler Sect, only in the Foundation Establishment stage did one have some autonomy, considered a middle layer of the sect, and not subject to curses outside the sect.
“To build the foundation, you need to first exchange for the Foundation Establishment method from the sect, then condense your blood body.
Regardless of which step, you need a large amount of blood essence…”
Li Mumin did not withhold anything and shared his Foundation Establishment experience.
“Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. I won’t disturb you anymore.” “Alright, if you have any more questions, you can look for me again.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Zhang Chen could feel that Li Mumin’s attitude towards him had changed. Previously, he had wanted to take him as his subordinate, but now there was a hint of equality.
Zhang Chen did not return to his cave abode. Instead, he went to the Technique Exchange Pavilion to exchange for a Foundation Establishment technique.
He did not lack blood essence and could immediately start cultivating his Foundation Establishment.
After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he wouldn’t be so timid anymore.
“Senior Brother, are you looking to exchange for spells?”
The technique exchange disciple was very respectful. He remembered that a few months ago, this senior brother was only at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, but now he was at the ninth level.
Could it be that he took the opportunity of this sect mission to kill fellow disciples and take their blood?
Thinking of this, the technique exchange disciple became even more respectful, afraid of offending Zhang Chen.
“I want to exchange for the Foundation Establishment technique.” Zhang Chen stated his purpose directly.
“The sect’s Foundation Establishment technique requires 100 bowls of blood essence. Are you sure you want to exchange for it, Senior Brother?”
“I’m sure.” Zhang Chen had already learned the price from Li Mumin and was mentally prepared.
This time, the technique exchange disciple did not hand over a book, but a jade slip. “This is a technique exchange jade slip. You can read the contents by placing it on your forehead.
“Once you read it, the jade slip will shatter to prevent it from being leaked. So, when you use it, please remember it carefully.”
Cultivators had very good memory. As long as there weren’t too many words, they could usually remember them.
Back in his cave, Zhang Chen couldn’t wait to place the jade slip on his forehead.
[Detected the cultivation technique, Blood supreme-ruler Body, which rebuilds the body with blood, allowing one to transcend the mortal body. There are no fatal weaknesses in the body, blood doesn’t dry up, magical power doesn’t exhaust, soul doesn’t die, and one can become immortal.]
[Side effect: This technique is a subsidiary technique of other spells. Once the blood body is formed, it can be sensed, controlled, and taken over by higher-level spells, becoming a puppet.]
[Please wait a moment, system modification is in progress…] [Ding! Modification complete. Side effects canceled.]
“Crack! ”
After reading it, the jade slip shattered.
“This Blood supreme-ruler Body is actually a subsidiary cultivation technique that can be sensed, controlled, possessed, and reduced to a puppet by a higher-level cultivation technique?”
Zhang Chen was rather shocked. The Blood supreme-ruler Sect had deliberately hidden this information and the jade slip did not mention this at all.
If it wasn’t for the modifier, he wouldn’t have known.
Zhang Chen took a deep breath. “Is this the method the Blood supreme-ruler Sect uses to control Foundation Establishment disciples? If not for the modifier, I reallv wouldn’t dare to practice it.
“However, this Blood supreme-ruler Body is indeed powerful. There are no fatal points on its body. If its blood is dry and its magic power is inexhaustible, as long as its soul is not destroyed, it will not die. Its life-saving ability is first-rate.”
According to Li Mumin, after condensing the blood body, one could fuse the attributes into the blood, causing the power of the blood to increase greatly.
The most common was poison, corrosion, cold, and filth.”
Poison was easy to understand, and it was also the simplest. It was to add poison to the blood, and the power varied according to the poison.
Corrosion and poison were somewhat similar. Everything could rot and everything could corrode. If it was a battle, it could be said to be the strongest among the several attributes, but it was also the most time-consuming. The power in the early stages was not obvious.
There was once an ancestor of the Blood supreme-ruler Sect who corroded a mountain range into a huge pit with a drop of blood and turned it into a lake.
The cold energy was stored in the blood. As long as there was enough cold energy, it could freeze rivers and seas with a drop of blood.
The impure attribute could corrupt one’s spiritual consciousness, physical body, and magical treasure. Once contaminated, one’s cultivation would be damaged, making it difficult to progress.
Especially when dealing with magical treasures, the impure attribute was particularly effective. A slight contamination would result in losing control of the magical treasure, and a heavy contamination would render the magical treasure useless.
Although the power of one’s blood would greatly increase after fusing with the attribute, there were serious side effects, which meant that killing a thousand enemies would result in injuring oneself 800 times.
After all, these attributes were not good things, and attempting to fuse with them would harm oneself.
Zhang Chen did not care about the side effects. What he cared about was that after fusing his blood with the attribute, others could not absorb it unless they had fused with the same attribute.
This meant that if he fused with the attribute, he could not exchange his blood for spirit stones or demon blood.
Fusing his blood with the attribute was not urgent, and he had to consider it carefully.
“To condense a blood body, I need to prepare a blood pool and fill it with demon blood and essence blood. The more essence blood, the higher the success rate.
“As for the blood pool, I’ll just dig one out in the cave.” Zhang Chen got straight to work, taking out his Mad Blood Saber and began digging into the ground.
Soon, a pool was dug out.
Zhang Chen took out a blood storage bottle containing demon blood and poured it into the pool. Then he took out another bottle containing blood essence.
When Li Mumin condensed his blood body, he poured in 300 bowls of blood essence. Zhang Chen was preparing to pour in 400 bowls to ensure success..
