Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 139 Foundation Building!

Triumph City, Central City.

Ronan's bungalow.

He had already incorporated all the magic ore engraved with [Extending Magic Runes] into the wall, forming a sorcery array.

The botanical garden has been transformed into a space of about 100 square meters and more than 5 meters high.

In the botanical garden, two evergreen trees, one large and one small, stand tall and graceful.

The largest of the mother trees, the one that symbolizes longevity, is already over three meters tall. Its canopy is very extensive.

The two natal trees of immortality were continuously absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was then fed back into his dantian.

There's also the basement of the bungalow, where he retrieved those thousand-year-old Qingling Cuiyun bamboos from the world of cultivation.

For him, everything returned to normal.

Everything in Triumph City is being restored.

The houses in the lower town had all been destroyed in the war.

But the royal family quickly sent a wizard who was proficient in architecture and earth and wood magic.

Under the influence of witchcraft, the house is recovering at an extremely rapid pace.

Paul recovered very quickly in his bungalow in the lower town.

Paul told him that his landlord was a second-degree sorcerer living in the upper town.

The bungalows and high-rises in the lower town all belong to this wizard.

Paul also learned about the royal family's attitude toward the various nobles in the southeastern provinces from the wizarding apprentices at the academy.

—The minor nobles in the southeastern provinces did not pursue the matter.

However, the upper-class noble families in the southeastern provinces, those wizarding families that were close to the Fleming family, were all to be purged.

So Ronan wrote a letter and spent a lot of money to have a caravan, escorted by a formal wizard, deliver the message through the southeastern province to his family and reassure them.

After all, if the carrier pigeons are modified with witchcraft, they might be intercepted.

In the days that followed, Ronan heard news of various families being purged.

It is said that after the alliance of the Fleming family and other wizarding families was defeated, as soon as the news reached the southeastern province, the Fleming family immediately headed east towards the coast.

They wished to leave the Kingdom of Valant and head to the Wizard Islands to escape the royal family's purge.

However, most of the Fleming family's high-ranking wizards had already died in Triumph City.

The family forces remaining in the southeastern provinces were not significant.

These members of the Fleming family were ambushed by several wizarding families on their way from the southeastern province to the coast.

These wizarding families are generally small. In a one-on-one situation, even the remaining wizards of the Fleming family could wipe out one of them.

However, the sheer number of wizard families overwhelmed the Fleming family, leaving them exhausted from dealing with them.

Some of these wizarding families came on orders from the royal family, while others came to seize resources from the Fleming family.

Thus, most of the Fleming family members had already died or been injured on the way from the Fleming family to the seaside.

Once at sea, only the True Knowledge Wizard and a few family members remained to guard the Fleming family.

They were going to the Wizarding Isles, and would return to the Kingdom of Valant to avenge the annihilation of their race.

The Fleming family's wise wizard summoned a four-eyed whale from the sea, which carried them away through the waves.

Behind them, wizards rode on sea beasts and gave chase.

A group of sea creatures stirred up the giant wolf.

However, not long afterward, the wizard families that were chasing behind saw several huge, dark green tentacles, resembling squid, suddenly emerge from the sea.

With a single sweep of its wings, the Fleming family’s whale dragged them into the sea amidst their terror.

……

After the various wizarding families were dealt with, a portion of their resources were handed over to the royal family.

Another portion was left to the wizarding family that took over.

After the Fleming family was gone from the Southeast Province, the Gurlar family took their place.

Ronan had heard that this family was far inferior to the Fleming family he had previously encountered.

After all, the Fleming family previously had a great wizard, while the highest-ranking wizard in this family was only a true wizard.

Moreover, the number of elite wizards and first-level official wizards is less than that of the Fleming family.

However, I've heard that this family has several talented wizards who have received good resources from the Fleming family and should be able to grow quickly.

Meanwhile, the Lawrence family's reply arrived in Triumph City.

After Leon reached the late stage of the Golden Knight realm, his family's power among the middle nobility increased significantly.

The various middle-ranking nobles who had been eyeing the Redwood Territory no longer dared to covet their family territories.

Furthermore, they reclaimed some of the territories that had been previously seized.

Moreover, some lords of the territories died in this war.

The middle-class nobles in the southeastern provinces are also facing a reshuffle; everything is in flux.

After reading the letter, Ronan felt that with the current strength of his family—two Gold Knights and one Silver Knight—it was highly likely that they would rise to the forefront of the middle-class nobles in the Southeast Province.

All in all, things are moving in a positive direction.

Luo Nan gathered his essence, energy, and spirit, and formed a spark of Samadhi Fire at his fingertips.

The flames instantly spread to the letter, burning it to ashes.

Ronan then went to the botanical garden.

With a thought, the two natal trees of immortality released golden "sacred tree light".

He felt his body and magical energy increasing.

Then, he took out two porcelain bottles.

He poured all five "Mysterious Origin Pills" from the two porcelain bottles into his mouth and began practicing the Ancient Wood Longevity Technique.

Next, one must improve their physical strength, mental power, and magical power, and advance towards the Foundation Establishment stage.

……

Green Lotus and White Root Skill (Completed)

Divine Transformation Technique (Completed)
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Ronan finally mastered both the physical cultivation method and the mental cultivation method.

Now, he sits under his natal tree of immortality, continuing to cultivate the Ancient Tree Longevity Technique.

He estimated that his Qi Refining cultivation would soon reach the peak of the twelfth level today.

The thought of his first attempt at Foundation Establishment filled Ronan with excitement.

But he quickly regained his composure and continued his cultivation.

The surrounding spiritual energy, or energy particles, converged towards his body.

After reaching the Green Wood Spirit Body, he has an extremely high affinity for wood element energy particles.

The energy particles of the wood element immediately seeped into his skin upon contact.

After mastering the Ancient Wood Longevity Technique to perfection, he was able to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth much faster.

As soon as the wood element energy particles entered his meridians, they were refined by the Ancient Wood Longevity Technique and immediately transformed into magical power, flowing into his dantian.

In addition, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth refined by the two natal trees of immortality also helped his cultivation increase.

More than three hours later, Ronan had a sudden thought.

‘It’s done! ’

He had reached the limit of progress in Qi Refining, and his cultivation could be considered to have reached the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

Looking inward at the dantian, one could see that the misty, emerald-green magical power within was already quite thick, somewhere between a misty state and a liquid state.

It seems that with just one more compression, it can be turned into a liquid.

Ronan summoned Hongmeng and retrieved his own numerical values.

Lifespan: 496↑

Strength: 88↑

Spirit: 86↑

Mana: 89↑ Cultivation Realm: Qi Refining Level 12
Wizard Rank: Level 1 Official Wizard

He had analyzed the peak Qi Refining level 12 cultivators in the Zhenhuan Sect's Immortal Realm residence area.

They discovered that their strength, spirit, and magical power were far inferior to his.

'Perhaps this is why those cultivators have repeatedly failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.'

Ronan shifted his focus away from the numbers.

'Next, let's try foundation building.'

'However, I wonder if any extraordinary phenomena will occur during the Foundation Establishment stage…'

'Let's find another place to establish our foundation.'

With that thought in mind, Ronan left the bungalow.

After leaving the central city, they rented a horse and galloped towards the city gate of the lower city.

After more than two months, the city has returned to normal.

After leaving the city, I saw that the manor and farmland outside the city had been restored to their original state, which meant that the royal family had also sent a wizard to do things here.

Ronan rode his horse past manors and farmlands.

Upon arriving in a small town, they checked into an inn and handed the horse over to the innkeeper, who then led it to the stables to be fed.

When night fell, after Ronan had eaten and drunk his fill, he left the town and cast a few "Wind Chasing Talismans" on himself.

His movements were as swift as the wind, heading towards a grove of trees.

This forest is just an ordinary forest; no magical beasts inhabit it.

Those who entered the woods were mostly hunters from the surrounding area.

However, it is night now, and hunters are unlikely to go into the woods to hunt.

Ronan then flew deep into the forest.

I sat down by a bush.

As he was about to establish his foundation, Ronan no longer felt the excitement he had before; instead, he was quite calm.

Before the first Foundation Establishment Pill was refined, Foundation Establishment was a dangerous process for cultivators.

If one fails to establish a foundation, one's essence, energy, and spirit will be damaged, and one will need to cultivate for a considerable period of time to recover.

Although all the cultivators said that with the Foundation Establishment Pill, even if one failed to establish a foundation, their body would not be damaged.

But Ronan knew he couldn't let his guard down.

He sat cross-legged and took out two porcelain bottles from his storage artifact.

Each porcelain bottle contains three top-grade Foundation Building Pills.

He bit open the corks of the two porcelain bottles and spat them to the side.

Then, he put both bottles of Foundation Building Pills into his mouth.

The Foundation Establishment Pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, a liquid with a strong medicinal aroma, extremely spicy, much like the feeling of drinking strong liquor in his previous life, flowing down his throat and into his stomach.

The liquid formed from the Foundation Building Pill exploded with medicinal power as soon as it entered the stomach.

It was as if, suddenly, a fire ignited within his body!

A surge of intense heat instantly enveloped my entire body!
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Within his dantian, the ancient tree's life-giving power surged and churned as if being boiled.

A booming sound echoed within the Niwan Palace.

In an instant, his energy and spirit seemed to be constantly expanding and increasing.

Ronan immediately used his vital energy to compress the ancient wood longevity magic power in his dantian.

At the same time, he continuously refined the surrounding spiritual energy, transforming it into streams of power that compressed his magical power.

The magical power in his dantian spun continuously, and the surrounding magical power kept gathering towards the center of the vortex.

The mist-like magic grew increasingly dense, visibly transforming into liquid magic.

Before long, Ronan was enveloped in a powerful aura!
Like a whale sucking in water, the surrounding spiritual energy surged toward him.

A small vortex of spiritual energy formed within a radius of about twenty meters around him.

'Fortunately, I broke through in the Wizarding World. If I had broken through in the True Immortal Realm of the Realm of True Immortals, this vortex would probably have a radius of several hundred meters.'

'At that time, it will attract other cultivators, and I'm afraid I'll die under their siege before I even break through.'

After a moment of mental wandering, Ronan immediately focused his mind and finished the breakthrough.

The vortex of spiritual energy spun slower and slower until it gradually stopped.

The magical power circulating in his dantian also stopped.

Looking inward at the dantian, one can see that the original misty magical power within has been completely transformed into a liquid state.

An improvement in the quality of magical power means that whether he casts spells or releases witchcraft, the power will increase accordingly.

Thinking of this, Ronan immediately spoke, spewing out a torrent of Samadhi True Fire.

He summoned the Primordial Chaos and analyzed the temperature of the Samadhi True Fire.

Indeed, the temperature of the Samadhi True Fire was much higher than when he was cultivating Qi.

After the test was completed, Ronan immediately put away the Samadhi Fire and stood up from the forest floor.

He summoned Hongmeng and analyzed himself.

Lifespan: 523↑

Strength: 95↑

Spirit: 106↑

Mana: 109↑

Cultivation Realm: Early Foundation Establishment Stage (1%)

Wizard Rank: Level 1 Official Wizard

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, his lifespan, strength, spirit, and magical power all improved.

'I never expected to achieve foundation building so smoothly.'

Ronan thought to himself.

Currently, he still has about a hundred low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills in his storage artifact.

Most of these Foundation Establishment Pills are made from materials made from magical plants and beasts from the Wizarding World.

Not to mention the ingredients of the medicine, even the color of the pill is different from the Foundation Establishment Pill in the cultivation world.

He absolutely cannot be sold in the True Immortal Realm of the Realm of the True Immortal Sect.

'Based on my feeling just now, it seems that in addition to protecting cultivators from damage if they fail to establish their foundation, the Foundation Establishment Pill also increases cultivation speed.'

After taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, his vital energy and spirit expanded rapidly. If he cultivated in this state, his cultivation speed would also increase.

'If resistance to the Profound Origin Pill develops too quickly in the future, the Foundation Establishment Pill can be used as a substitute.'

Ronan thought to himself, then released his divine sense to sense if there were any people or creatures nearby, so as not to let his breakthrough be discovered.

After finding nothing, Ronan walked out of the woods.

As they walked, they planned what would happen next.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the next step is to find a way to enter the True Immortal Sect and plot the Earth Immortal Techniques that the True Immortal Sect obtained from the Longevity Sect.

"I opened a portal to the Necromancer's Dimension on the edge of the True Immortal Realm of the Realm of True Immortals, and summoned a high-ranking undead swordsman."

The Song family has definitely labeled me a demonic cultivator.

'A member of the Song family serves as an outer disciple within the Zhenhuan Sect.'

Moreover, one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the True Sect is a distant relative of the Song family.

"I'm afraid the Song family, through their clansmen, has spread the information that I am a demonic cultivator to the True Revelation Sect."

The True Sect prides itself on being a righteous sect and opposes demonic cultivators.

'Ronan's identity is no longer usable.'

With this in mind, Ronan decided to first refine a mid-level transformation potion with better medicinal power before entering the True Immortal Realm of the True Immortal Sect.
