On the path to immortality, I can see destiny.

Chapter 35 Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object

"This formation is called the Blood Refining Formation. Within this formation, the blood and qi of cultivators will be refined. It is a formation set up by that demon."

"The three of us came here by chance and were trapped in the formation. The other two fellow Daoists have already fallen victim to this demon. If we cannot work together to break this formation, we will probably also fall victim to this demon."

The old man immediately began to explain.

At this moment, the person in front of him was probably the only one among the group of people on the field who had a chance to cooperate with him.

That burly man possessed considerable cultivation; he was probably not afraid of this demon and likely wouldn't join forces with them.

The person in front of them was also at the ninth level of Qi Refining. If the two of them worked together, they might be able to escape.

However, although the two are currently at loggerheads, they may not necessarily fight to the death. If each of them were to attack one of them, both of them would likely die.

"Is there a way to break this formation?"

After hearing what the old man said, Su San frowned, knowing that he was probably really going to be in trouble this time.

He had clearly seen when Blood Shadow instantly killed that scholar. This demonic art was extremely strange, and the protective aura of the eighth level of Qi Refining was easily pierced by the blood arrow.

Based on this alone, he was no match for him, not to mention there was also a burly man at the eleventh level of Qi Refining who was specifically there to confront him.

After much thought, it seems that joining forces with this old man is the only way.

When the two join forces, they may be no match for anyone, but they will not be easily defeated either.

After a moment's thought, the two quickly reached an agreement.

Meanwhile, the two on the other side had already started fighting.

The burly man struck first, his fist, wreathed in crimson light, suddenly swung out, heading straight for Zhang Tie's chest.

Seeing the rapidly approaching fist, Zhang Tie did not dodge at all. Blood gathered in his right hand, transforming it into a spear that pierced the big man's neck.

Looking at the blood-stained spear, the burly man felt a chill run down his spine and immediately transformed his fist into a palm, unleashing a palm strike from a distance.

A blood-red palm print flew out and collided with the spear.

The spear looked delicate, but it was quite different from what one might imagine.

The palm print was pierced directly by the spear, and the blood and energy within it were instantly swallowed up.

Upon seeing this, the burly man's pupils contracted; the figure's technique was so powerful that it could devour his spiritual energy!

Seeing the blood spear getting closer and closer, the big man exerted force with both legs and suddenly leaped backward, dodging the attack.

He clenched his fists, and crimson spiritual energy rapidly gathered in his hands. The ghostly figures on his body also came to life and roamed around him.

Having suffered a setback in his attack, he no longer underestimated his opponent.

With the support of spiritual power, his legs unleashed tremendous strength. He was almost a blood-red afterimage in the air, and in an instant, he was in front of Zhang Tie.

With a single punch, blood splattered everywhere, and the resulting gale nearly snapped the surrounding trees.

Zhang Tie had no time to dodge and was punched in the chest. Blood splattered, and the blood contained a strange power that actually struck Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie was struck hard and sent flying backward, blood splattering from his chest, revealing a piece of black tortoise shell.

After flying more than ten zhang away, the blood on Zhang Tie's body turned into strands of silk, pulling on several large trees around him.

After breaking five or six trees, it finally came to a stop.

Despite the tortoise shell providing protection, he still suffered a considerable impact, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Now that the big man had made his move, he naturally wouldn't give Zhang Tie a chance to catch his breath. He pressed forward again, his fists raining down relentlessly.

Zhang Tie no longer dared to take the blow head-on. His body, enveloped in blood, transformed into a streak of crimson light and fled in all directions.

"Weren't you so arrogant? Keep hitting me!"

The burly man chased after them while making sarcastic remarks.

Zhang Tie naturally wouldn't give in to the big man's mockery. His confidence stemmed entirely from his demonic arts, and the fact that the big man could break his magic was something he hadn't expected.

"Fellow Daoist's strength is quite impressive. Why not stop here? There is an opportunity here. If you are willing to help me, I can share it with you."

Although Zhang Tie still had a backup plan, using it would destabilize the formation and allow the two to escape, which would be a greater loss than gain.

Upon hearing this, the burly man also became somewhat interested. This person possessed superior demonic skills and must be quite wealthy. The burly man was still somewhat interested in the opportunity he mentioned.

"Oh? Then tell me, what was the opportunity? If it's useful to me, I might as well stop."

Hearing this, Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief and secretly transmitted his voice.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know of any spiritual items for Foundation Establishment?"

Upon hearing the words "Foundation Building Spiritual Object," the burly man immediately stopped what he was doing.

He looked at Zhang Tie, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

A Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object—that was something he had been dreaming of!

For a rogue cultivator like him, obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill is almost impossible, as both the pill formula and the medicinal ingredients are controlled by the Suyang Sect.

He has no connection with the Suyang Sect and it is impossible for him to have bought Foundation Establishment Pills from them.

Besides, if one wants to establish a foundation, relying solely on oneself would likely result in a success rate of less than 20%.

Therefore, for him, the only way to achieve Foundation Establishment is to pursue Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.

This Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object has similar effects to the Foundation Establishment Pill. First, it can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment. Second, it can protect the meridians. Even if Foundation Establishment fails, it will not cause the meridians to flow backward and damage the foundation.

"You said there are Foundation Establishment level spiritual objects here?"

The burly man stared intently at Zhang Tie and asked a question, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

In the distance, Su San and the old man also heard these words and their hearts were filled with excitement.

If there are any Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures here, we will risk our lives to try and snatch them.

Zhang Tie looked at the two people in the distance, then at the big man.

"Fellow Daoist, you..."

The burly man curled his lip in disdain.

"With our combined strength, they're doomed if we make a move. What difference will it make if they find out?"

"You'd better explain clearly what kind of spirit is here."

Zhang Tie thought about it and felt that what the big man said made sense, so he nodded.

"Blood Coral Spirit Marrow, are you familiar with it, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing about the Blood Coral Spirit Marrow, the burly man was largely convinced, and his excitement grew even stronger.

"It's actually Blood Coral Essence? No wonder you used this formation; it was to absorb blood energy and nourish the Blood Coral."

Zhang Tie nodded immediately, looking at the two people in the distance, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

"Originally, the essence and blood of three people would be enough to nourish the blood coral, but since there is one more person, the effect will naturally be better."

"In that case, let's get started."

The burly man turned to look at Su San. Coincidentally, he originally intended to kill him, and now that he had a new reason, he was even less likely to let him go.

"I'll go kill that white-robed cultivator; you can handle the old man."

The burly man spoke, and then, with a swift movement, he headed straight for Su San.

Zhang Tie nodded in agreement.

"good!"

Having said that, he rushed towards the old man.
