Chapter 4102: Helping you build your foundation
Translator: 549690339
“Ah? Now?” Xue Li froze-she’d been dreaming of breaking through to the Foundation Stage for the past six months, but she’d never had the chance or the conditions to do so. Lin Yi’s sudden words made her unable to react.
Lin Yi smiled and took out a high quality foundation pill from his pocket. He made it for Hong Zhong on the northernmost Island, but he didn’t sell it all at the auction. He kept some for himself and gave it to Xue Li.
“This … This is the foundation building elixir?” Xue Li was shocked.
She was only sky Class full phase, but she’d been on Sky Class Island for a long time, and she knew what a Foundation pill was-it was an important pill to help one break through to Foundation, and even a Middle Island sect like the snow sword sect wouldn’t give it out to their disciples. She didn’t think Lin Yi would just take one out like that, and it looked like it was a top quality one!
“That’s right. You’ll be able to quickly build your foundation after taking it. You’ll also have more power to protect yourself, so you won’t be bullied by any random cat or dog in the future.” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“Yes, sure.” Xue Li already saw herself as Lin Yi’s woman, so she didn’t hold back and accepted the pill.
The only thought she had was that she hadn’t misjudged him. No matter where this man went, he wasn’t destined to be weak. He’d only been on Sky Class Island for half a year, but his strength had already advanced by leaps and bounds to the peak of the late Foundation Stage. What was even more ridiculous was that even the early golden core Wei shenjin had been defeated by him. If this got out, it would be a huge shock!
Of course, what shocked Xue Li even more was Lin Yi’s connections! He was far away in the North Island, but he actually had acquaintances in the middle Island, and they were even top forces like the five elements Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, his network seemed to be absolutely reliable and would not betray him!
This made Xue Li even more convinced that it wasn’t without reason that Lin Yi was able to go from a lone practitioner to someone that all the ancient sects feared! Perhaps one day, Lin Yi would have a place in the middle Island where Masters were everywhere!
After adjusting her condition, she took a Foundation pill and Lin Yi taught her how to channel her Qi, guiding Xue Li step by step to break through to the Foundation Stage.
Whether it was foundation or talent, Xue Li wasn’t any worse than the others. With the help of a peak grade foundation pill and Lin Yi’s guidance, breaking through to the Foundation Stage was a piece of cake.
Under Lin Yi’s protection, Xue Li successfully broke through to the early Foundation Stage after four hours without any danger.
“I … I succeeded just like that?” Feeling the change in her body, Xue Li couldn’t help but feel unreal.
She’d been wanting to break through to the foundational level for a long time, but she’d never made any progress in the past half a year, let alone succeed. It’d always been so far away, and now she’d met Lin Yi in just one day, and she’d done it in one go. It was unbelievable.
“Of course, you’re now a true expert of the early stage of the foundation building realm. However, there’ll be a bit of trouble from now on.” Lin Yi frowned as he smiled.
“Ah? What’s wrong?” Xue Li’s heart suddenly tightened. She thought that something had gone wrong during the process of breaking through to the foundation building realm just now, leaving behind some residual effects.
“Do you have the rest of the mantra of the snow Valley?” Lin Yi asked.
“No, I didn ‘t,” Xue Li was stunned.
“I don’t have any, either.” Lin Yi shrugged helplessly, troubled,”So the problem now is that you’ve become an expert in the early stage of the foundation building realm, but you can’t continue to cultivate.”
“This …” Xue Li finally recovered from the joy of successfully building her Foundation. She realized her embarrassing situation and didn’t know what to do for a while.
Breaking through to the foundational level was a beautiful thing, but the strength of an early-stage foundational level was nothing on Sky Class Island, especially on Middle Island. He couldn’t escape the fate of being cannon fodder at the bottom.
The practitioner’s Arts after that was a crucial problem, and they couldn’t afford to be careless. Xue Li had just reached the Foundation Stage, and it wasn’t stable yet. If she couldn’t continue to practice for a long time, not only would she not be able to improve further, but her strength might even fall back to the Sky Class, and she would be crippled.
“Actually, it’s not that there’s no way. Although cultivation methods are regarded as treasures by various sects, as long as you go out and look for them, you should be able to buy them. The biggest problem now is that the cultivation methods you buy rashly may not be suitable for you to cultivate.” Lin Yi analyzed.
Since he didn’t have the original follow-up cultivation method of the snow Valley, he could only find another one to continue cultivating. However, cultivation methods had always been different, and they were very different. Once the follow-up cultivation method conflicted with the original cultivation method, the lightest consequence would be Qi deviation, and the worst would be death on the spot.
Other than some special reasons, very few people in the cultivation world would change their cultivation method halfway, and it was also because of this consideration.
Xue Li thought for a moment and said,”actually, when I first came here, all the big sects in Nakajima tested our physiques and mental cultivation methods. They said that I was born with an ice body. It was highly compatible with the snow sword sect’s mental cultivation method. That’s why I was brought to the snow sword sect.”
For the past six months, the reason why Xue Li had been looking forward to the snow sword sect was because of this. As long as she could practice the snow sword sect’s heart cultivation method like ordinary disciples, even if it was the most basic, she believed that she would not be worse than others.
However, she did not expect that fate would play a trick on her. After becoming situ Qian’s maidservant, she did not even have the opportunity to cultivate normally, let alone cultivate the snow sword sect’s heart technique.
“In that case, we just have to find a way to get snow sword sect’s cultivation heart technique, won’t that do?” Lin Yi’s eyes lit up.
Xue Li nodded, but she said helplessly,””That’s true, but the snow sword sect is a big sect in Nakajima. The cultivation method is the foundation of the sect, and it’s a secret that can’t be passed on. It’s impossible for them to reveal it, let alone let us buy it.”
“That’s a problem, but there’s always a way out. Since we’ve found the direction, we’ll eventually find a solution. It’s just that we’ll need to spend more time thinking. ” Lin Yi consoled.
As long as he had enough spiritual jades, he would definitely be able to get Xue Li the snow sword sect’s heart technique.
Just then, Cai Zhongyang’s voice came from the door,””Just what is it that is giving the two of you such a headache? do you need this old master’s help?”
Lin Yi and Lin Yi quickly opened the door and welcomed him in gratefully,””Thank you for helping me out with the matter downstairs earlier, elder Cai.”
Chapter 1843: Chapter 1841-difficult days
Lin Yi’s enemies were looking for him, and even if uncle Fu was out in the open, no one would go after him. After all, Chu pengzhan was a cripple, and could die at any moment. No practitioner would want to kill someone who was about to die.
Besides, Chu pengzhan had nothing left, and no hidden house would do something like this without any benefits! It was already a taboo for an Earth Class to enter the common world, and it was even more taboo for them to attack normal people. No one wanted to cross that line.
After hanging up, Mengyao, Yushu, and the old lady went to the bank nearby and transferred the old lady’s hundred thousand Yuan and Jianwen’s hundred thousand Yuan to uncle Fu.
“Li Fu?” When she was transferring the money, the old lady took a look at the name on the receipt and muttered it subconsciously.
“Yeah, that’s uncle Fu’s name. Granny, you’ve heard of him before?” Mengyao nodded.
“No…” The old lady shook her head and said,””There’s a familiar feeling, but I don’t know him …”
“Granny, so your surname is sun. I’ll call you granny sun from now on.” Chu Mengyao only knew that granny sun’s surname was sun after seeing the name on the passbook.
“I think it’s sun … It’s been too long, I don’t really remember it. I got this name when I settled here.” Granny sun said.
Chu Mengyao was stunned. She realized that granny sun always said that she couldn’t remember this sentence because it had been too long. Maybe something happened to granny sun before and she had forgotten it? Or did he not want to mention it?
But Mengyao wasn’t a nosy person-she didn’t ask any questions, naturally. The three left the bank and began their scrap picking journey after transferring the money to uncle Fu …
The sun in autumn was venomous. This was the so-called “Tiger in autumn.”
Under the hot sun, an old woman took the two girls, shuttling back and forth in the big streets and small alleys, rummaging through every garbage can and searching every corner near the commercial district. This was a route that the old woman had been walking for many years. The daily Harvest was about the same. Although it was not bad, it was not much either!
It was already good enough to have two to three hundred Yuan in one day-it was a world of difference from the five thousand that Shu had estimated!
“General Weiwu, other dogs have very sensitive noses, you should help look for them too!” Chu Mengyao knew that they couldn’t go on like this so she started to encourage general Weiwu to look for junk.
“Woof, Woof …” General Weiwu was a little depressed. It could teach other dogs or even people a lesson, but picking up trash? it had never done anything like that before. However, it understood that Mengyao was doing this for Lin Yi, so it started to follow her example and went to all corners.
With general Weiwu’s help, they managed to find a lot of scrap paper and bottles in some of the harder-to-find places. However, they could only increase their income by tens of dollars. It was impossible to get more than a thousand dollars.
The day passed quickly, and when they were counting their spoils at night, Mengyao and Yushu realized that they had only made five hundred Kuai today. They were only one-tenth away from five thousand Kuai.
However, it was only 500 yuan, and granny sun was already very happy. According to her, it was usually only a few dozen Yuan, and during holidays, it was only 300 yuan. This time, 500 yuan was already considered a lot!
Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu were silent. They also knew that picking up trash wasn’t a lucrative business. Otherwise, everyone would be picking up trash.
After Lin Yi’s medicine was done, Mengyao fed it to him and sat down with Shu, troubled.
With both internal and external problems, their future was bleak. This was the true portrayal of their current mood.
Five hundred Yuan wasn’t even enough to buy Lin Yi’s medicine, let alone save up for Chu pengzhan’s medical expenses!
“Shu … How about we go to Yunyun’s house tomorrow and borrow some money?” Mengyao didn’t know what to do, but she knew that Mrs. Tang had a lot of money on her hands. She knew that Mrs. Tang would definitely lend her money to buy Lin Yi’s medicine.
“Yeah, I guess that’s the only way …” Chen Yushu nodded.
But what they didn’t know was that Mrs. Tang had already been taken away by the people from the snow Valley. First, she was worried about her parents in Songshan, and second, she was afraid that her parents would say something to Lin Yi and make her waste her time feeding Lin Yi the liquid.
And so, the next day, when Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu came to Tang Yun’s house, they helplessly found that Tang Yun’s family had long since left. According to the neighbors, there was no one in the house a few days ago.
Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu could roughly guess what Tang Yun wanted. The only problem was that they didn’t have the contact information of the snowy valley. According to the snowy valley, if Tang Yun stayed there, it would be equivalent to not seeing them anymore. Naturally, they wouldn’t give them any contact information.
Mrs. Tang couldn’t make it, and Yunyun and Xiaoxiao couldn’t be contacted either. The only person Mengyao and Yushu could count on was old Lin.
However, even though old Lin had his own medicine garden and had most of the ingredients in the prescription, old Lin’s ingredients alone were only enough to sustain Lin Yi’s medicine. Pengzhan’s medical expenses were still not settled.
Moreover! The West Star Mountain village didn’t accept express delivery and old Lin couldn’t leave the village. It would be troublesome to send the herbs to a courier company in a town far away. By the time the herbs were sent out, it would be too late.
With no other choice, Mengyao and Yushu could only continue to scrap pick with granny sun. However, after two days of scrap picking, Mengyao and Yushu realized that there were many competitors in this line of work. Other than them, there were also some scrap pickers. In this line of work, one had to have sharp eyes and quick hands. It didn’t matter who saw it first, what was important was who got it first.
According to granny sun, every city’s scrap picking industry had its own set of rules, and Songshan city was one of them. This rule had been followed for many years, and so even though her legs weren’t as agile before, she’d managed to pick up some quick-witted skills.
It was also because of this that after she returned to normal, her scrap picking speed became even faster, obviously higher than other scrap pickers, so her harvest every day was not small!
“Actually, it’s not the most profitable to rely on these waste paper and drink bottles every day.” “Sometimes we can pick up some old furniture and appliances from the garbage dump in the residential area,” said granny sun.”That’s the most profitable thing!” Sometimes, I could find some change in the old clothes of some rich people. Although it was not much, sometimes it was at most a few hundred Yuan. One time, I picked up 3000 Yuan at most from a leather jacket at the gate of a villa. I went to pay off the money; however, the Butler of the villa only said thanks and here’s the money before letting me go …”
