“The Secret of Foundation Establishment”

In the display box, when Zhou Ji saw these words, he felt like his eyes were about to fall out.

But when he continued to read, he felt relieved. No wonder those three guys sold this thing as a secret technique:

[The Secret of Foundation Establishment]

[The success rate of Foundation Establishment increased by 50%, after Foundation Establishment, the absorption speed increased by 500%, and the capacity of the soul increased by 100%.]

[(Blue) Foundation Establishment success rate decreased by 30%, after Foundation Establishment success rate decreased by 300%.]

[(White) after Foundation Establishment success rate increased by 10%, soul capacity increased by 4%.]

[(White) after Foundation Establishment success, physical fitness increased by 10%, spiritual essence purity increased by 10%.]

This was also the first time Zhou Ji saw the secret treasure. There were only three entries in this Foundation Establishment secret treasure, but each of them had a double effect. Zhou Ji also had reason to speculate that secret techniques could only have one entry for each level.

Of course, if one were to look at the level, this secret treasure was definitely worth money, but the first additional effect was enough to make many people shy away from it. This entry that was almost at the peak of blue grade was actually a negative attribute!

‘I can only let myself off easy…’

Zhou Ji sighed and casually erased the first entry. Since it was the first entry, he only needed to spend one magical point. This was something he, Zhou Ji, could afford.

As for the revised entry, Zhou Ji only glanced at the first-tier entry on the right and had a plan in mind.

(White) Foundation Establishment success rate increased by 1%, after Foundation Establishment success rate of absorbing spirit essence increased by 10%.

Next was the refining section.

Ever since Zhou Ji came into contact with the cultivation method and opened the editor, he had never stopped reciting the cultivation method. At the very least, he had memorized all the spells that he could get in this city.

The cultivation methods that he had created over the years were also included in it. There were still a lot of comprehension points that he had accumulated over the years. Therefore, in the refining section, Zhou Ji had never mistreated himself.

After spending over a hundred comprehension points in succession, all three entries had been refined into orange. This was also just as Zhou Ji had predicted. The quality of high-level cultivation technique entries could be raised by another level, and they would look orange.

[(Orange) Foundation Establishment success rate increased by 50%, and after Foundation Establishment success, the speed of absorbing spiritual essence increased by 500%.]

[(Orange) after Foundation Establishment success, the speed of spiritual essence recovery increased by 500%, and the capacity of the soul increased by 100%.]

[(Orange) after successfully building a foundation, the physical fitness increased by 500%, and the purity of spiritual essence increased by 500%.]

This time, the effects of the Foundation Establishment secret treasure were truly displayed.

Zhou Ji carefully memorized the contents of the Foundation Establishment secret treasure again, and then opened his eyes. The ignition spell was activated, and the book in his hand slowly turned into ashes. Then, the wind blew, and it blew outside through the window, drifting into the air.

At this time, the sky had already begun to brighten, and there were already aunties and uncles cleaning the streets. Most of them still used brooms to clean. After the garbage had gathered together, they put it on the garbage truck together and used the Dust Removal Spell to go through it again.

There was no such thing as delaying aging in the Qi Cultivation Realm. On the contrary, after a certain age, the realm would decline with aging.

He had to think of a way to build his foundation.

The Foundation Establishment secret manual required him to find a place with abundant spiritual essence to cultivate. The more abundant the spiritual essence, the higher the success rate of the foundation. But what kind of place was abundant in spiritual essence? In the place where he was, the spiritual essence was extremely thin. Zhou Ji, who had an intermediate level cultivation technique, would vacuum his surroundings every time he cultivated!

In the years before he reached the peak of the Qi Cultivation Realm, he always needed to move around. After he drained this place, he would move on to the next one. It was just like guerrilla warfare; in case he was caught by the city guards for disturbing the vitality of the city.

Seeing that it was almost dawn outside, Zhou Ji slowly got up and pulled open the curtain behind him. On the single bed beside the dining table, his daughter was sleeping soundly. He did not deliberately tiptoe around her. His daughter would not budge for ten hours every day. She would close her eyes at nine o’clock at night and wake up at seven o’clock in the morning.

He grabbed a small stove by the side and did not add any fuel. With a pinch of the Ignition Spell, a flame was ignited in the small stove. The size and temperature could even change according to Zhou Ji’s will.

The hot pot passed the water, and the oil was boiled dry. After the Water Spell, he used the Property Spell. A thin line of oil flew out of the oil barrel and into the pot. A moment later, four eggs jumped out from the corner and floated above the oil pot.

With a few light sounds, the eggs obediently cracked open on their own. The egg yolk slowly fell from the sky and took up a corner of each pan, forming a perfect circle.

In his previous life, he had seen a saying somewhere that life was also cultivation. In this world, Zhou Ji also tried his best to practice it. Although it was just a few simple applications of the Object Control Spell, the exquisite control of spiritual essence shown in it was enough to make many people’s jaws drop.

Fried eggs, bread, two cups of milk with some spiritual essence, and two apples were placed on the table with object control. Only then did Zhou Ji take out a scroll of cultivation technique and study it carefully, from time to time, he would close his eyes and open the editor, comparing it with the cultivation technique recorded in the editor that he had strengthened with enlightenment points.

In the past, Zhou Ji had been doing this every day, and today was no exception. The things he did last night seemed to have nothing to do with him. The aftereffects of killing someone for the first time did not show up on Zhou Ji’s side at all.

It was almost 7 o’clock. Xiao Rui, who had been sleeping soundly on the bed, seemed to be a little restless at this time. She moved left and right.

Almost at the same time that the hour hand changed, Xiao Rui, who was on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and burst into tears.

As if he had expected this, Zhou Ji gently picked up his daughter and patted her back. “Xiao Rui, don’t be afraid. Daddy is here.”

As a mature parent, in the past few years, he had perfectly mastered the tricks of holding and coaxing children. As he gently patted his daughter’s back and bounced her, he kept mumbling, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid…”

Xiao Rui’s hand that was holding on to his sleeve slowly loosened. Her face was buried in his arms. Her body was still twitching due to her sobs, and she was making muffled and slightly sobbing sounds.

“Daddy, I had a nightmare again…”

“Are you still dreaming about the little monster? I’m not afraid. Daddy will punch them one by one and chase them all away!”

Hearing this, Xiao Rui raised her head and cried with her lifeless eyes. “Daddy is lying. Daddy is only in the Cultivation Realm now.”

“So what if he is in the Cultivation Realm? Your daddy can fight three Foundation Establishment realm cultivators with one hand!”

“Daddy, you said that children who lie will be spanked.” Children were still children after all. They were quickly distracted by Zhou Ji’s words and their emotions disappeared.

“Hey! Your Daddy is really awesome now. I’ll show you some other day!” Zhou Ji pinched his daughter’s nose and rubbed her clothes to wipe off the snot on his hands. “But now, we have to go to the bathroom first, then wash our faces, brush our teeth, and eat breakfast! Okay?”

“Okay!” Xiao Rui nodded hard and struggled to get out of Zhou Ji’s arms. She put on her shoes and fumbled around for a while, then she walked to the back of the training room in her yellow duck-like pajamas.

That was the only toilet in the entire store.

Zhou Ji never changed the location of the furniture in the store. This also allowed his daughter, who was extremely familiar with this place, to not be affected when she moved around in the store. Those who were not paying attention would not realize that there was something wrong with the little girl’s eyes.

After the sound of flushing water, there was the sound of the tap again. There was a tap in the store. The water inside was even the kind that could be drunk directly. In fact, all the households in the outer city used this tap water. After all, in the outer city where Zhou Ji lived, every family was closer to the lifestyle of ordinary people. No one was as extravagant as Zhou Ji, who used spiritual essence to make water to drink at will.

In the past, Zhou Ji used the Clear Water Spell to wash his daughter’s face and teeth every day. However, after his daughter grew up, she had to wash her face and teeth by herself. She gradually became independent and more sensible..
