Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 530: Chapter 259: Falling Out (Part 2)

Because Xiao Zhan knew in his heart that Jiang Feng was different from other cultivators.

He always felt that he couldn’t do anything to Jiang Feng.

Moreover, if Great Zhou wanted its legacy to continue, it still needed Jiang Feng—he alone simply couldn’t deal with the Lin Family cultivators and Blood Sea Immortal Venerable.

"If I can find a complete Qi Condensing Pill formula, maybe I can actually refine a real Qi Condensing Pill."

Jiang Feng said with a bitter smile.

"The people I’ve sent to look for the recipe over the years have just sent back some news. I believe next time we meet, Immortal Master will obtain a complete recipe."

Xiao Zhan replied with a smile.

Jiang Feng looked at Xiao Zhan with a face full of surprise.

The recipe is precious, priceless even in the Blood Domain, and not something one can buy at will. Why was Xiao Zhan so confident?

"Mr. Xiao would not dare deceive the Immortal Master. The reason I came this time is because of an opportunity—I want to share it with you."

Xiao Zhan saw Jiang Feng’s confusion and spoke honestly.

Jiang Feng fell into a brief silence.

So many years had passed, and now Xiao Zhan was gray-haired as well.

The lifespan of Divine Realm martial artists and Qi Condensation cultivators, though much longer than Innate Powerhouses, still has its limits—even at their peak, they could only live just over two hundred years.

Only by taking things to the next level could they extend their lifespans.

Thirty years ago, Xiao Zhan abdicated and passed the throne of Great Zhou to Xiao Ran’s son. In the eyes of the world, the invincible King Xiao seemed to have already died at that moment.

He had been absorbed in martial arts these past years, step by step reaching the peak of Divine Realm, but this power had stagnated for a long time. Like Jiang Feng, Xiao Zhan had also hit a bottleneck.

In terms of age, he was nearly three rounds older than Jiang Feng.

If, in the next forty or fifty years, he couldn’t break through, Xiao Zhan would follow in Han Dong and the others’ footsteps. He suddenly came to visit, and was so confident that he’d be able to offer a pill recipe next time they met.

From this, it was clear that in doubtless exploration of ancient ruins and searching for treasures, he had made progress. Perhaps, within those next forty or fifty years, he could break through the late Divine Realm and become a Martial Cultivator on par with a Foundation Establishment powerhouse.

But once he understood this, Jiang Feng still shook his head: "Behind every opportunity, there are all kinds of dangers. King Xiao, you should know that what I fear most is inviting trouble."

The treasures and opportunities within the Underground Palace were enough for Jiang Feng to explore, and the degree of danger was always within his control. Jiang Feng wasn’t interested in Xiao Zhan’s ’gift’.

He knew that, over the past century, Xiao Zhan’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds, not much less than Huang Li, who carried the black Curse Power—he’d definitely encountered some extraordinary fortune.

But for the sake of peaceful coexistence with Xiao Zhan, to remain in Dragon Capital and explore opportunities in the Underground Palace together, and to jointly resist the Lin Family cultivators, Jiang Feng had always pretended to know nothing about Xiao Zhan’s stroke of luck.

Now that Xiao Zhan brought it up himself, even if Jiang Feng were a fool, he’d realize that the fortune behind it had a problem that Xiao Zhan simply couldn’t solve, which is why he’d come to invite him in.

Unfortunately, Jiang Feng already possessed the Dragon Capital Underground Palace. Opportunities that came with dangers no longer interested him.

"What if, behind the danger, is a Foundation Establishment opportunity?"

Xiao Zhan retorted confidently.

Succeeding at Foundation Establishment was every Qi Condensation Realm cultivator’s dream. While Xiao Zhan didn’t know exactly how strong Jiang Feng was, after all these years together, he’d determined that Jiang Feng hadn’t succeeded in Foundation Establishment yet.

He didn’t believe Jiang Feng could refuse such a temptation.

Jiang Feng, upon hearing this, glanced at the system panel info.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: None

Cultivation Technique: Yang Technique (Perfection) Foundation Establishment Technique—Beginner (88-100)

Skills: God-Binding Finger (Great Perfection) Alchemy (Proficient) Rune Secret Spell Basics (Mastery) Blood God Curse (Perfection)

Realm: Half-Step Foundation Establishment

Divine Power: Immortality

In nineteen years, Jiang Feng had accumulated over 4,000,000 Fortune Points. Every day, he put the Fortune Points he received into his Foundation Establishment Technique.

Day after day, the value had gone up from 46 to 88. Jiang Feng was eagerly awaiting what would happen once the Foundation Establishment Technique hit Beginner. Now with only twelve points to go to reach 100, he guessed it would need roughly 1.2 million more Fortune Points.

And ever since he’d gone to the Divine Sect Mansion to intimidate Blood Sea Immortal Venerable and the others, his Fortune Points increased very optimistically each year—six or seven hundred a day. For more than a million points, at the current rate, it would take about six more years to accumulate enough.

Even if Fortune Point growth slowed and new dangers approached, Jiang Feng still had plenty of time to wait it out. If he risked himself now for some so-called Foundation Establishment opportunity with Xiao Zhan, he would be insane.

So he shook his head again and said, "The greater the opportunity, the greater the danger. My end is not near. I still have ample time to attempt a breakthrough, so there’s no need to persuade me. If you need help, find someone else. I wish you success, King Xiao."

"This... Then I won’t disturb Immortal Master any longer."

Xiao Zhan’s face froze in surprise. He hadn’t expected Jiang Feng could actually refuse the temptation of Foundation Establishment.

He bowed and took his leave.

When he got to the foot of the mountain, he muttered to himself, "Could it be that my information is wrong, and he’s already succeeded in Foundation Establishment? Otherwise, how could he resist the temptation?"

"If not, then there’s only one possibility: there’s an opportunity in the Underground Palace that allows him to achieve Foundation Establishment."

"All these years, because of his presence, I’ve never gone into the Underground Palace. Maybe it’s time to enter and see for myself."

"I just don’t know if I should notify him first. What if he tries to stop me?"

Xiao Zhan was a smart man. He didn’t think a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator could resist the temptation of Foundation Establishment. If Jiang Feng could do it, there was only one explanation—that he had a steadier means of achieving Foundation Establishment, and didn’t need to risk his life with Xiao Zhan.

If Jiang Feng’s means were in the Underground Palace, that would truly make others jealous.
