Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 130 Foundation Establishment Pill Completed!
The news of the Kingdom's Martial Arts Tournament spread quickly, and Triumph City was already buzzing with excitement even before the tournament began.

Hotel owners spend money to renovate and decorate their hotels.

It's so that tourists can stay at their hotel when they come.

At this time, many bards and wandering knights flocked to Triumph City.

The central part of Triumph City is alright, after all, land prices are high here, and without some financial resources, one wouldn't dare to live and spend money here.

The lower city of Triumph, however, was much more crowded.

In order to maintain order in the lower city and prevent a recurrence of large-scale attacks by Necromancers, the royal family dispatched more patrol guards to maintain order in the lower city.

Wizard apprentices were also stationed at the entrance to the lower city.

The Wizarding Council gave them magical artifacts that could detect energy fluctuations.

Whenever a wizard's apprentice or wizard enters, their magical artifacts will react.

Furthermore, they can determine the approximate level of a wizard apprentice or wizard based on the intensity of the reaction.

Every wizard who entered the city was recorded.

Because of the increased number of tourists visiting Triumph City during this period, Ronan's anti-aging and skin-lightening products have found a wider market, resulting in increased profits for him.

When he went to the lower town to buy materials, he found that the lower town was even more crowded.

His ancient tree longevity magic is very gentle, unlike the magic of a wizard, which, if left uncontrolled, will emit violent energy fluctuations.

Therefore, when he walked out of the city gate, the magical artifact used to test the energy fluctuations showed no reaction at all.

He still went to the Forest of Gurt to collect materials for alchemy.

Upon entering the forest, they discovered that there were many more hunting teams of magical beasts than usual.

Ronan then avoided these teams and gathered materials.

They collected about sixty copies before returning to Triumph City.

……

In the days that followed, Ronan repeated the same routine of alchemy, cultivation, growth enhancement, and material collection.

Every day was very fulfilling, basically working around the clock.

Having reached such a level of mental strength, he no longer needed to sleep.

Half a month later, the Kingdom Martial Arts Tournament was still being prepared, and the atmosphere in Triumph City was becoming increasingly intense.

They even created a knight ranking list in the city.

The list includes nationally renowned young knights.

They are all highly likely to be on the list.

The common people in the city were in high spirits and began placing bets on the knights listed.

They were betting on which knight would be ranked first and which knight would be ranked second.

As for who the bookmaker is, the common people don't know, nor do they want to know; they just want to have some fun guessing the outcome of the contest and gambling.

The knights on the knight list are not static.

As the martial arts tournament drew near, all sorts of news converged on Triumph City.

One day, when Ronan went to buy medicinal herbs, he found a crowd gathered in a square in the city.

However, it was just ordinary idlers, tourists, and bards discussing the Knights' Ranking.

Ronan had no intention of getting involved in these matters, but his gaze froze when he looked at the parchment-covered knighthood.

Because he discovered his older brother, Leon Lawrence's name, on the Knights' Ranking.

Why is Leon's name included?

Ronan found it strange.

Besides, isn't Brother Leon currently fighting the Orc Empire on the border?

"Who is this Leon Lawrence? That's a completely unfamiliar name!"

Just as Ronan was wondering, someone voiced his question.

The question was raised, and someone immediately answered:
"This Leon Lawrence is indeed a newly emerging Golden Knight."

"I heard that he had a miraculous encounter during the border war, and his knightly strength improved by leaps and bounds."

"When he was on the border, he cooperated with wizards to kill the orcish knights with limbs and orcish wizards from the orcish empire."

"Now that the border conflict has eased, he has returned with the troops."

"I heard that on his way back, he single-handedly killed a group of more than seventy people, whose strength was generally at the level of Black Iron Knights and Bronze Knights. This strength alone is comparable to that of a peak Gold Knight."

"However, later on, he actually did have a duel with a Gold Peak Knight who was quite famous in the kingdom."

"And win the duel."

"However, I heard that he is actually only at the late stage of the Golden Knight level, but he has extremely flexible combat skills."

"I heard that in his battle against the Golden Peak Knight, he deliberately stood in a position against the light and wind, using the blazing sun and strong wind to confuse his opponent and win."

After this person finished speaking, someone else said, "However, when it comes to the knightly duels at the Kingdom's Tournament, I'm afraid these skills won't be of any use."

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true..."

The crowd started arguing, each offering their own opinion, about Leon Lawrence.

Ronan stood there for a while, listening as the debate shifted from Leon Lawrence's strength to the debaters' families, before leaving.

He walked down the street, thinking about how to tell Leon Lawrence not to come here.

Because he always felt that something was bound to happen at such a grand gathering of various forces.

In particular, he also learned that the Fleming family intended to cause trouble for the Necropolis.

Although this is the territory of the Augustus family, it doesn't stop the Fleming family and the Necromancers from acting rashly in Triumph City.

'However, it's also possible that the Augustus family struck first.'

After all, the Augustus family had ruled the Kingdom of Valant for over a thousand years.

For thousands of years, the position of the first family of the Kingdom of Valant has never been shaken.

This family is definitely not simple.

Ronan walked and thought, until he reached a shop in the lower town and bought some medicinal herbs.

As more people buy medicine, the price of medicinal herbs has increased.

Fortunately, the increase in the price of medicinal materials was not as significant as the increase in his medicine sales.

The increased cost of medicinal herbs has little impact on him.

After buying the medicinal herbs, Ronan returned to his bungalow and began refining the Foundation Building Pill.

He conjured a wizard's hand and processed various medicinal herbs.

After the medicinal materials were almost processed, a stream of Samadhi True Fire was spewed out and burned towards the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

The Samadhi Fire contained a radiant glow, even more intense than before.

Samadhi True Fire (Proficiency 3%↑)
After this period of alchemy, the Samadhi True Fire has finally broken through to the proficient level.

Previously, when the alchemy furnace was scorched by the Samadhi True Fire, it only changed color slightly.

Once the Samadhi True Fire reaches the proficiency level, the temperature rises dramatically.

If Ronan doesn't control it, the metal in the alchemy furnace will be scorched red and slightly deformed.

The Samadhi Fire enveloped the bottom of the alchemy furnace. Ronan manipulated the wizard's hand, adding the medicinal herbs and water into the furnace one by one.

……

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ronan had enough medicinal herbs to sustain him for five days of refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

Moreover, in the cultivation world, the Song family also gave him some medicinal herbs to practice with.

After he improved the efficacy and success rate of the Xuan Yuan Pill in the cultivation world to a level higher than Ge Qian's, he...

The Song family immediately sent more medicinal materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, hoping that he could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible.

Although the Song family has Foundation Establishment Pills in stock, they are expected to run out soon.

Because in the Song family, besides the patriarch Song Yangtian, there are several cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining.

They've all been stuck at this level for a long time, so they need to keep trying to build their foundation.

In addition to increasing the probability of achieving Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment Pills also serve to protect cultivators.

If one does not take Foundation Establishment Pills when attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, their cultivation level will decrease if the attempt fails.

After a long period of practice, Ronan finally perfected the Foundation Establishment Pill technique today. He opened the pill furnace and saw two deep purple pills.

The elixir emitted a rich, pleasant fragrance that was refreshing and invigorating.

There are two pill patterns on the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This is a characteristic that appears when the Foundation Building Elixir reaches the highest grade.

Moreover, the patterns on the Foundation Establishment Pill he refined were exceptionally beautiful and clear.

This is because he has already mastered the Foundation Establishment Pill to perfection.

The effects of the Foundation Building Pill have reached their peak.

The matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill is finally resolved.

Ronan thought to himself.

Next, he only needs to cultivate the Ancient Wood Longevity Technique to raise his cultivation level to the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

Then, cultivate the Azure Lotus and White Root Technique and the Divine Transformation Technique to perfection to enhance your physical and mental strength.

With the addition of a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills, it's practically a certainty that he will reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

……

In Triumph City, preparations for the Kingdom's Martial Arts Tournament are intensifying, as is the atmosphere.

"The Valentine family has arrived!"

Ronan was practicing in the house when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside.

Upon hearing the family name, he couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

The Valentine family, along with the Augustus and Fleming families, is one of the seven great wizarding families in the kingdom.

It is said that this family possesses a lineage of illusion magic.

A wizard who has mastered this illusion technique can make people fall into illusions without them even realizing it.

It plays a vital role in magical battles.

Knowing that the Valentine family was coming, Ronan quickly withdrew his divine sense.

After all, this is one of the seven great wizarding families, and the lowest level of its patriarch is a True Knowledge Wizard.

The True Knowledge Wizard possesses immense power, surpassing even his Foundation Establishment advancement.

He used his divine sense to scan a true-knowledge wizard, who, with his spiritual power, would certainly be able to detect it.

After withdrawing his divine sense, Ronan walked out of the bungalow and headed towards the direction from which the sound came.

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the central axis of the city.

The central axis is a wide street that can accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages.

He stood at a distance, gazing at the street.

They saw a dozen or so knights in golden armor clearing pedestrians from the road.

Before long, more than ten carriages came slowly from the main road.

The chariots were pulled by majestic lion-like magical beasts.

This lion-like monster was about two meters tall, with a lithe body, sharp claws, and an open mouth revealing sharp, white teeth covered in saliva.

Some timid onlookers couldn't help but step back slightly upon seeing this scene.

As the carriages passed by, Ronan sensed extremely strong energy fluctuations emanating from several of them.

It was as if those carriages contained tiny suns.

As these carriages passed by, people stepped back, as if the beings inside were even more terrifying than lion-like monsters.

Some wizarding apprentices, including Ronan, knew that the people in the carriage were all extremely powerful wizards.

Their energy fluctuations are so intense, even without being concealed.

After the carriage passed, the bustling crowd dispersed.

Ronan also returned to the bungalow.

After sensing the intense energy fluctuations, he immediately realized the vast gap between himself and the high-ranking wizards of the wizarding family.

'I wonder when the Fleming family will arrive.'

Ronan pondered.

After all, both of the Fleming family members who went missing were looking for him.

Once the Fleming family arrives in Triumph City, they will likely send someone to look for him.

Originally, if he were still in the mortal world of the cultivation world, he could have quickly transferred his natal tree of immortality there.

However, he is currently being monitored by members of the Song family in a residence arranged by the Song family.

If the two natal immortal trees were moved to the mansion area, the Song family would surely discover them.

'I need to find a chance to leave the Song family!'

……

Late at night, in the world of cultivation.

In the bedroom of the Song family mansion, Ronan appeared.

He scanned it with his divine sense.

All three maids were asleep.

So, he released his divine sense as he walked out of the mansion.

He first went to the alchemy room and put the medicinal herbs and alchemy furnace provided by the Song family into his storage bag.

Then, they walked to the four walls of the mansion and found that there were monks guarding the buildings outside the walls.

Standing by the window, staring intently at his own mansion.

Unless he can become invisible, he will be detected by the cultivators as soon as he leaves this mansion.

'Fine, we'll just have to force our way in.'

He is now at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and because he has cultivated the Azure Lotus and White Lotus Root Technique and the Divine Evolution Technique, his physique and spiritual power are far superior to those of others at the same level.

With two natal trees of immortality, his mana recovery speed is unmatched by others of the same level.

This gave him the confidence to escape.

Moreover, in this residential area, cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage cannot stop him.

With this in mind, Ronan immediately unleashed "Magnetic Torrent".

A force against the Earth's magnetic field was released from the body.

Instantly, he shot into the sky and flew off in one direction.

It transformed into a blur and shot out from the mansion.

"Zha!"

Upon seeing the afterimage, a cultivator immediately shouted a warning.

Immediately, all the cultivators around the mansion woke up.

At this time, three miles away from the mansion, there was a five-story building.

High up in the building, an old man with white hair and beard sat drinking spiritual tea while keeping an eye on Ronan's mansion.

This person is named "Song Hui". He is Song Yangtian's uncle and one of the peak Qi Refining members of the Song family.

The Song family naturally attached great importance to such a major event as refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Song Hui was sent by Song Yangtian to monitor the residence from this high building.

He would know as soon as Ronan left the mansion.

When Ronan flew out of the mansion, he was on a high floor and could see everything clearly.

'What exactly happened?'

Song Hui was puzzled.

These days, he noticed that Ronan had never left the mansion, so he assumed that Ronan was a peaceful man.

Unexpectedly, this person suddenly decided to flee the mansion.

A thought struck Song Hui, and a gust of wind suddenly arose.

His clothes fluttered as he soared into the air from the rooftop, becoming a blur as he chased after Ronan.
