The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 177 Foundation Building
"Do you dare to attack an inner disciple of the Xuanming Sect?"

The last words, "What waves can you make?" had barely faded when a clear female voice, brimming with undeniable anger, rang out.

Lin Daochang glanced over and saw a beautiful female cultivator standing on a jade-green spirit sword staring at him.

A faint red tinge appeared at the corners of her eyes, as if she had been suppressing her emotions for a long time.

Chen Qiaozhen's robes billowed with sword energy, making her appear ethereal and graceful, as if she were about to launch an attack at any moment.

"Chen Qiaozhen, an inner disciple of the Xuanming Sect! I am ready for battle!"

The angry voice put immense pressure on the many cultivators who were already in a daze.

It was a tremor stemming from deep-seated fear.

Upon hearing this, Lin Daochang's face immediately darkened.

He dared to say that before because he couldn't testify that the Chen family had an inner disciple of the Xuanming Sect, and because that person wasn't around, and he had wiped out the entire clan, the other party couldn't do anything about it.

However, if he were to attack an inner disciple of the Xuanming Sect at this moment, it would be fine if he didn't leave any evidence. But if he did leave evidence, he would definitely be questioned and punished by the Xuanming Sect in the future.

This might even affect the cultivation life of that prodigy from the Lin family!

"Fellow Daoist Chen is joking. I was just joking with the Chen family!" Lin Daochang forced a smile and tried to salvage the situation.

Fortunately, the other families had not yet broken the Chen family's formation, otherwise things would have been unmanageable.

Of course, he felt more regret that he hadn't wiped out the Chen family before Chen Qiaozhen arrived.

Although she was an inner disciple, she was still inferior in status and background to a Golden Core cultivator's direct disciple. Even if she was angry, she would never dare to attack the Lin family before she grew up. As long as they supported that Lin family prodigy, they would surely kill her before she grew up.

"You've jokingly destroyed the mountain-protecting formation like this? Why aren't you telling your people to leave!" Chen Qiaozhen said coldly, her face grim.

"Everyone from the Lin family, retreat to the spirit ship! The rest of our family allies, please retreat as well." Lin Daochang put away his smile and waved to the patriarchs of the various families.

"I hope you will return all the resources of my Chen family." Chen Qiaozhen's sharp gaze swept over the Lin family head and the others.

"Of course, of course!" Lin Daochang said, but he was still somewhat unwilling, after all, this was a resource that his Lin family had worked hard to obtain.

The Lin family had been plotting to eliminate the Chen family for a long time, hoping that the marriage alliance would weaken the Chen family's power. However, unexpected events like Chen Qiaozhen's death occurred, making it difficult for him to calm down.

Chen Qiaozhen followed the Lin family and others as they left before sheathing her spirit sword and flying into the Chen family's territory.

In fact, she was still a little worried, fearing that the Lin family and others would still dare to destroy her and the Chen family's bodies to cover up the crime, thus making it impossible to verify the fact that the Lin family had attacked the inner disciples of the Xuanming Sect.

In addition, the Lin family has that Golden Core disciple behind them, providing cover for them.

But for the sake of the innocent elderly and children in the Chen family, she had to step forward.

Although she eloped and joined the Xuanming Sect, the Chen family still paid her a monthly stipend on time, in addition to the stipends from the sect.

She didn't live too poorly during her time as a handyman.

After the Lin family's ships left, the Chen family cheered.

"We are very grateful to the Foundation Establishment Ancestor for saving us!" All the cultivators from the Chen family, except for the Foundation Establishment elder, thanked Chen Qiaozhen.

"You're too kind, uncles. This is what Qiaozhen should do."

"Excellent! The lineage of the First Elder has truly produced a dragon!"

"Yes! If it weren't for Ancestor Qiaozhen's timely support, our Chen family might have been wiped out!"

"Uncles and elders! This time, you should thank someone other than me. I was able to achieve Foundation Establishment thanks to my seventh sister, Chen Jinshu!" Chen Qiaozhen immediately corrected after hearing the conversation among the uncles and elders around her.

"Jinshu? She has such strength?" "Although Jinshu hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, she performed exceptionally well in the sect competition and obtained several Foundation Establishment Pills. That's why I was able to achieve Foundation Establishment!"

"The greatest contributor should be her!"

"It was her!" Clan Chief Chen Zhixing felt a bitter taste in his mouth upon hearing this. Recalling the day Chen Jinshu broke off the engagement and he used his cultivation to coerce her, he wished he could disappear into the ground.

The elders of the Chen family around them began to look at the clan leader with a different kind of fascination.

……

One month later, at Momei Garden.

A dazzling red glow had appeared on the distant horizon.

In a daze, a large amount of blue mist surged into the courtyard from all around, shimmering with a bluish-green light.

Hundreds of chirping birds circled around the courtyard, as if celebrating some joyous occasion.

Zheng Shaosi and the others who were guarding the temple outside the temple all showed joy upon seeing the changes in the weather and the surrounding environment.

"My junior sister is about to succeed!"

At this moment, Chen Jinshu sat cross-legged next to the ink plum tree in the courtyard, his black hair almost turning emerald green from the rich wood spiritual energy.

The surrounding vegetation, nourished by spiritual energy, grew wildly, and in the blink of an eye, the courtyard resembled a meticulously maintained garden, with all kinds of flowers in full bloom.

The plum blossoms on the black plum tree bloomed out of season, and a large number of dark petals fell, dancing with the sweeping tide of spiritual energy.

She floated in the center of the spiritual vortex woven from plum blossoms, her originally dark pupils now swirling with golden patterns like tree rings.

A massive amount of refined spiritual energy emanated from the lotus petal birthmark on her forehead, surging into the meridians throughout her body and finally converging into her dantian.

A large amount of wood-attribute spiritual energy condensed into emerald-colored spiritual dew in the dantian and floated there, slowly accumulating more and more.

The process of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage involves condensing the spiritual energy in the dantian into droplets of spiritual liquid. This is a manifestation of extremely compressed spiritual energy, with each drop equivalent to more than thirty strands of spiritual energy.

In just a moment, Chen Jinshu's dantian expanded several times, and a small handful of emerald-colored spiritual liquid droplets condensed in the very center.

Her divine sense expanded several times in an instant, reaching over a hundred feet, which was twenty or thirty feet longer than that of a normal cultivator entering the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

"After a month of secluded cultivation, I have finally raised my cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

She could have broken through within half a month, but she had also tempered her body, forged her divine sense, and condensed her cultivation, so it took her a long time to reach a month.

However, her speed is not slow; she ranks in the middle among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"The normal lifespan in the early stages of Foundation Establishment is over 250 years, but mine has increased by 20 or 30 years! Could it be due to the cultivation technique?"

If this continues, by the time she breaks through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, her lifespan will likely reach around three hundred years.

She looked around at the sea of ​​flowers in the courtyard and felt a sense of comfort. She mainly cultivated the wood spirit root, and her senior brothers and sisters suggested that she cultivate under a spirit tree to better sense the wood spirit energy, which is why she was under the black plum tree.

With a casual wave of her hand, all the surrounding flowers and plants vanished in her grasp.

As soon as she removed the formation and opened the door, she was greeted by the smiling faces of several senior brothers and sisters.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister, on successfully establishing your foundation!" the seven people said in unison.

"Senior brothers and sisters, please come in!" Chen Jinshu said with a smile, quickly inviting them into the courtyard.

She was truly moved that they stayed by her side outside for a month.

"As soon as my junior sister broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the spiritual energy concentration in the entire courtyard increased by several tens of percent!"
