“Is this for real, or are you just fooling me?” Murong Qinglian said with a light chuckle.

If it had been before, she certainly wouldn’t have said such a thing.

But after reaching Foundation Establishment, the huge disparity brought about by the levels was suddenly erased.

Their interaction seemed to have returned to those days in the Sihé courtyard, the period in Crescent Valley.

Of course, both of them were aware that this was just a mode of communication in private.

In order to prove his innocence, Luo Chen casually took out quite a few items.

Meridian Protection Pills, Ascendant Grade Yang-Replenishment Water…

“Not very valuable, but if combined with a Foundation Establishment Pill and Soul Calming Fragrance Stick, they could raise the chance of successfully building a foundation by another ten percent,” he said.

“The reserves of a Great Sect truly cannot be compared to those of us Rogue Cultivators. There are many more such fine items.”

“I also thought that since the Luo Tian Creed has had three consecutive Foundation Establishment failures, our luck is probably not great, so I bought these to boost everyone’s morale.”

While Luo Chen was speaking,

Murong Qinglian looked at the pile of items, a look of contemplation in her eyes.

If she had had such a complete array of auxiliary resources for her first attempt at Foundation Establishment, she probably wouldn’t have failed.

The depth of a Great Sect’s resources indeed elicited envy.

No wonder every Golden Core Great Sect has hundreds to thousands of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, a staggering number.

What a pity, she no longer had any use for them.

However, she did accept one set.

“Consider it a congratulatory gift then!” she said.

Luo Chen smiled, “For Big Brother Qin to keep?”

Murong Qinglian shook her head, “He has already extinguished the heart of Foundation Establishment. After the last failure, although he wasn’t injured, he realized that in this lifetime he can only reach the pinnacle of Qi Refinement Finalization. I’m planning to find time to send these things to Xiao Hu.”

Xiao Hu, Qin Yuanjiang.

Their son, who was only a year or two older than Qu Lingjun when counted by age.

Now also thirty-two years old.

With his excellent Spirit Root qualifications, coupled with being in the Luo Yun Sect, he had already reached the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement, with Foundation Establishment imminent.

In previous years, due to the war, the couple had almost stopped sending letters to each other.

Only in the past few years, as the situation eased, did they start to regain contact.

Hearing this, Luo Chen could only sigh that the couple had really put all their attention on their son.

Aftr all these years, he had never seen Xiao Hu return even once.

Even with various reasons…

“By the way, in the past few years, there have been more than just three Foundation Establishment failures within the Luo Tian Creed,” Murong Qinglian suddenly mentioned.

Luo Chen smiled, “It seems you have forgotten to include your own Foundation Establishment failure from before. But now, after the hardship comes the sweet, and failure is just a stepping stone to success, right?”

“It wasn’t me,” Murong Qinglian said slowly, shaking her head.

She revealed a name that caught Luo Chen completely off guard.

“It was Caiyi!”

The smile on Luo Chen’s face faded bit by bit.

Seeing Luo Chen’s solemn face, she sighed.

“You should go see her.”

…

“Cough cough…”

“Sister Xia, what’s the commotion outside?”

In the graceful and imposing boudoir, a stove was burning wood that didn’t produce irritating smoke, and the heat it generated drove out the chill from the room.

Gu Caiyi lay half-propped up on the bed, her eyes heavy with sleep, as she looked towards Feng Xia who had hurried in from outside.

The latter’s face bore an undeniable joy.

But upon seeing Gu Caiyi, she deliberately lowered her head and then put on a calm facade.

“Nothing much, just a visitor arriving late at night. Sister Qinglian is hosting them,” she replied.

“Oh.”

Gu Caiyi pondered, what kind of visitor would cause such a commotion outside?

“Don’t think about these things, rest up. Who let you sit up?”

Feng Xia walked over, tucked the reluctant Gu Caiyi back into bed,

and carefully adjusted the quilt corners for her, as if to keep the cold from seeping in.

Gu Caiyi, with her eyes wide open, stared at Feng Xia, who was tenderly taking care of her.

“Sister Xia, I’m actually almost well. There’s no need for you to take care of me every night. Duan Feng, on the other hand…”

“Why mention him? He’s a grown man and won’t die of this. And you, where are you nearly well? Senior Sun said you need at least a few years of rest to recover completely.”

“Can I really recover completely?” Gu Caiyi murmured.

Feng Xia said with compassion, “Don’t think too much, being alive is more important than anything else. Old Qin failed his Foundation Establishment but is still living happily, I heard he recently even took a disciple in the Hall of Light.”

“Big Brother Qin is different. Sister Qinglian’s successful Foundation Establishment made him happier than if he had succeeded himself. I, on the other hand, am all alone. Once I’ve healed, I fear I won’t be able to maintain this cultivation level.”

“Who said you’re all alone? You still have us friends. And besides, he also…”

“Just now, was it him who returned?” Gu Caiyi interrupted.

The warm boudoir fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Feng Xia replied with a wry smile, “You’re still so perceptive, getting to the heart of the matter in just a few words.”

Gu Caiyi smiled faintly, her pale face showing a hint of relief.

As long as he’s back, that’s good!

Seeing her smile, Feng Xia felt a rush of irritation.

“If you weren’t so clever, you wouldn’t have failed at Foundation Establishment.”

Gu Caiyi laughed, “Sister Xia, that’s quite amusing. What does intelligence have to do with failing at Foundation Establishment?”

Feng Xia clenched her teeth, “Senior Sun said you were close to success. It was only because your mind was cluttered that you fell into demonic deviation at the last moment, and a slight oversight led to lost efforts, resulting in…”

Gu Caiyi quietly listened to these words.

Her mind seemed to replay the last moments of her closed-door Foundation Establishment attempt.

Perhaps she did think too much.
