"Damn headache, why does it flare up again at this moment?"
Ye Tian's headache was unbearable, and he prepared to take out the remaining Broken Illusion Pill from his bosom to dispel the illusion in front of him.
But when he saw clearly the world in front of him, his movements stopped.
On the high platform, a huge monster covered in slime stretched out two tentacles from its fleshy body, holding three sandalwood boxes and handing them over to Zhou Yun and the other two people.
To motivate the disciples below, the three boxes were all open, and the rewards for Zhou Yun and the other two were placed inside.
Ye Tian had often suffered from headaches before, so he was no stranger to the appearance of monsters in Qingcheng Monastery.
But at this moment, when he looked at the stage, there was still horror in his eyes.
It was not the horror of Elder Pei Yuanhu being a monster, but the horror of the rewards that Pei Yuanhu handed to Zhou Yun and the others.
In Ye Tian's eyes at this moment, what was placed in the boxes were not Foundation Establishment Pellets, but white meat eggs!
The white meat eggs trembled constantly in the boxes, and the white skin rippled and bulged as if something wanted to emerge from inside.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian felt his stomach churning and almost vomited.
He suddenly remembered the Foundation Establishment Pellet that Chen Su had given him and quickly prepared to take it out to check. Just then, the pain in his mind instantly disappeared, and the world in front of Ye Tian also returned to normal.
Lu You, Zhou Yun, and the others received the Foundation Establishment Pellets bestowed by Pei Yuanhu, feeling grateful and excited beyond words.
Especially Zhou Yun, who had pinned all his hopes for the future on this Foundation Establishment Pellet, his excitement was difficult to express.
Ye Tian looked at this scene, and his mind once again recalled the scene he had just seen, raising doubts about this world again.
Were the things he saw really illusions?
Had Chen Su really created the Broken Illusion Pill to dispel illusions?
Was it certain that it dispelled illusions and not reality?
But why had Chen Su worked so hard to save him before?
Should he believe what he had just seen?
Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian put the Broken Illusion Pill back into his bosom.
This headache attack had allowed him to see the true nature of the Foundation Establishment Pellet, so he decided to investigate what secrets lay behind this pellet!
Through his previous memories, Ye Tian discovered that the monsters he saw during his headache attacks were basically cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, while those at the Qi Condensation stage appeared no different from ordinary people in his eyes.
He had never understood why there was such a vast difference in their appearances in his eyes.
Now he realized that it must be related to the Foundation Establishment Pellet.
So now he wanted to take this opportunity to carefully examine what secrets lay behind the Foundation Establishment Pellet that could turn people into such monsters!
Lost in thought, Ye Tian felt a tap on his shoulder.
Turning around, he saw Zhou Yun's excited face.
"Junior Brother Ye! Junior Brother Ye! I won third place in the competition and received a Foundation Establishment Pellet bestowed by the sect!"
Seeing Zhou Yun's excited expression, Ye Tian hesitated for a moment before smiling at him.
"I see it, congratulations Senior Brother Zhou."
He still didn't tell Zhou Yun what he had seen.
Zhou Yun was wholeheartedly devoted to the path of cultivation, and Ye Tian didn't want to plant a demon in his heart of cultivation.
Moreover, even if he said it, Zhou Yun might not believe him and might even consider him crazy, distancing himself from him.
Most importantly, Ye Tian also wanted to use Zhou Yun to investigate the secrets behind the Foundation Establishment Pellet.
Naturally, Zhou Yun had no idea what Ye Tian was thinking. At this moment, he was completely immersed in the joy of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pellet.
He turned to Ye Tian with an expectant expression.
"With this pellet, I can establish my foundation!"
"Junior Brother Ye, after I go back and adjust my state, I plan to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Would you like to come to my alchemy room to witness my breakthrough?"
Ye Tian nodded slightly in response to Zhou Yun's question.
"I have every intention to do so. I will definitely come to witness Senior Brother's breakthrough and prepare for my future breakthrough."
Hearing Ye Tian's reply, Zhou Yun laughed heartily.
"There's no guarantee whether I will succeed or not, but I'll take your auspicious words. I'll go back and rest for a while to adjust my state. Three days later, I plan to break through!"
"You must keep your promise and definitely come!"
"Definitely!"
As the words faded, Zhou Yun turned around and walked back towards his alchemy room, while Ye Tian stood behind him, squinting at Zhou Yun's receding back in the sunset.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Tian arrived at Zhou Yun's alchemy room as promised.
Zhou Yun had sat down outside the door early, meditating and adjusting his state.
There were many unfamiliar faces around, but they were all disciples at the Qi Condensation stage, probably Zhou Yun's friends who he had lobbied everywhere in the outer section.
Seeing Ye Tian approach, Zhou Yun's face was full of happiness.
"Junior Brother Ye, you're here."
Ye Tian nodded and asked with some confusion.
"Are you planning to break through outside?"
Zhou Yun nodded.
"It's closer to nature outside, helping me feel the heavens and earth, and increasing my chances of success in Foundation Establishment!"
"Aren't you calling for an elder to protect your breakthrough?"
Listening to Ye Tian's question, Zhou Yun's face was full of ambition.
"Why bother? I want to give them a big surprise after breaking through!"
"Besides, the rules in our Qingcheng Monastery are strict, and I'm just a small Qi Condensation disciple. No one would be willing to risk being punished by the sect for me."
Ye Tian nodded, and what Zhou Yun said made sense.
The rules in Qingcheng Monastery were strict, and disciples were forbidden from fighting among themselves, let alone disrupting others' breakthroughs. Moreover, with familiar faces around, there was no need to worry about being disturbed.
In such an environment, it was natural to do whatever felt more aligned with one's state of mind.
Seeing everyone had gathered, Zhou Yun stood up, bowed to everyone, and said, "Thank you all for coming to witness my breakthrough. I won't make any more polite excuses. This time, whether I succeed or fail, I'll consider it a pioneer for all of you."
"I'm beginning!"
As the words faded, Zhou Yun sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and adjusted his internal breath.
The surrounding heavenly and earthly energy was drawn towards his dantian under his guidance, causing his blood qi to surge endlessly, and ethereal energy to linger outside his body.
Before establishing the foundation, one needed to draw heavenly and earthly energy into the body to enrich the blood and qi, bringing the body to its optimal state. Then, with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pellet, one could break through the barrier and solidify the foundation!
Among these, the Foundation Establishment Pellet was the most crucial, serving as the guide for breaking through the barrier and solidifying the foundation!
This was why countless wild cultivators without resources struggled their entire lives to establish their foundation.
After a while, Zhou Yun adjusted his body to its optimal state, and his eyes suddenly opened, shining with bright light.
"Now!"
He took out the pellet he had prepared from his bosom, swallowed it in one gulp, and then closed his eyes to gather qi and solidify his foundation!
Ye Tian concentrated and carefully observed, silently circulating his qi to actively stimulate his spiritual platform!
