Perhaps because the immortal herb was trapped inside the illusion he created without any resistance, Tu Long gradually realized that he was the master of this illusion.

She could understand Xiancao's thoughts and feelings without any difficulty, and she sensed that the other party had no ill intentions.

Tu Longjian picked up the skull fruit that could make most people change color, and swallowed it without changing his expression.

Although it looks awful and resembles a culinary disaster, it tastes extremely sweet and refreshing, making one feel refreshed and invigorated.

It really is a good thing! This magical herb didn't lie to her.

She even felt her meridians expanding, so she immediately sat down to practice her internal energy cultivation.

Soon, the meridians in her body had expanded by more than double, even becoming much wider than those of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Sun Rank.

Spacious meridians can hold more spiritual energy and absorb more spiritual energy. As one cultivates, the meridians will gradually widen, and the cultivation speed will also increase accordingly.

Tu Longjian opened his eyes, smiled, and touched the jubilant little grass beside him.

During the conversation, she learned that this "immortal herb" is actually the "Heartbreak Grass," not a magical herb at all, but a poisonous one.

However, its poison is extremely rare; it is the poison of the Love Flower, which, as the name suggests, is related to love.

The Heartbreak Grass disguises itself as the Flame Dragon Golden Glass to gain the trust of cultivators.

However, it is actually composed of a flower and a fruit. The flower has a false Flame Dragon Golden Glass, which is a time-limited cultivation-enhancing immortal herb.

The fruit is its essence, non-toxic, and can even broaden one's spiritual energy channels.

The flower specifically targets male cultivators who are already in love, while the fruit seeks out the male cultivators' lovers.

Once a male cultivator betrays or hurts his beloved, he will be restrained by the lover who has consumed the fruit. If he is unfaithful, he will gradually become poisoned until he dies from the poison.

The fallen Golden Core cultivators died at the hands of this flower. This flower is so domineering and evil that no one below the Nascent Soul stage can escape its poison.

Where a male cultivator dies from a backlash, this same immortal herb will grow, waiting to be harvested.

This is how Tu Longjian encountered this poisonous herb.

As long as she can trick Gan Xiuming into taking this poisonous herb, she won't have to worry about her personal safety until she reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

There's even a chance to kill him without anyone noticing!

Moreover, there's another advantage: this poisonous herb resembles the Flaming Dragon Golden Glass and is also at the Foundation Establishment level. In this way, she has an excuse to explain her points.

Tu Longjian smiled and put the poisonous herb back into his spatial storage.

The sounds of fighting could still be heard above the cave; the battle between the giant Fang Hui and the giant fire spider had not ended, but was instead escalating.

Tu Longjian pondered that both the human and the spider had temporarily ignored him.

Fang Hui's berserk nature was aroused by the Mad Beast Powder, and his strength temporarily surged to the Foundation Establishment stage. The giant fire spider was also a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast.

She is still at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. If she goes out now, she will likely be attacked by a person and a spider.

At this moment, no one paid attention to her, and even the trial mirror was blocked.

With her spiritual veins widening and the crisis of two life-or-death battles giving her a glimpse of enlightenment, now is the perfect time to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

It should be noted that although breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm will not trigger a tribulation of lightning, it will still cause quite a commotion, and there may even be unusual phenomena in the sky when a genius breaks through.

If he were to return to the Freshman Academy, under the watchful eyes of Long Aotian and the powerful figures of the sect, it would be quite difficult to advance to a higher realm without making a sound.

This illusion is indeed a golden opportunity!

Having made his decision, Tu Longjian acted decisively, using the Clear Wind and Frost Formation to defend himself and beginning his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Ice and snow elements, gold spiritual energy, and fire spiritual energy emerged from the darkness and surrounded her.

The ice and snow elements are derived from the essence of snow, and are extremely pure.

The fire elemental energy comes from the hot, dry air and is constantly flowing.

Only this golden spiritual energy had been used up earlier and could only be absorbed from the Golden Soul Pearl.

The spiritual energy was almost completely depleted, and it still hadn't filled the meridians.

The Golden Soul Pearl's golden light dimmed, almost turning white, and finally shattered, becoming useless.

It was a spiritual artifact used by Foundation Establishment cultivators, yet she, a Qi Refining cultivator, destroyed it when she broke through to Foundation Establishment!

Tu Longjian never expected that he would need so much spiritual energy to break through. Indeed, the path of cultivation for extraordinary people is becoming increasingly arduous.

She felt her physical body being torn apart by spiritual energy, while at the same time she felt her body greedily absorbing spiritual energy, as if she was being torn in two.

Tu Longjian bit his lip until it bled, struggling to fuse the spiritual energy, his forehead covered in sweat.

Suddenly, a heavy object crashed in, and black ash fell from the cave ceiling.

A pair of fiery red compound eyes stared at the woman in the center of the spinning array flags, spitting fire.

Its lair!

The giant fire spider no longer cared about Fang Hui and pounced straight at him.

However, it was blocked by the defense of the Qingfeng Hanshuang Formation. Annoyed, it thumped its eight legs outside, hung above Tu Longjian, and stared at her coldly, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The giant Fang Hui followed and crawled into the collapsing cave. A hint of fire appeared in his lifeless eyes. It was her!

It's all her fault! She turned herself into something neither human nor ghost.

Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!

Bloodlust raged wildly in his mind.

Tu Longjian opened his eyes amidst excruciating pain and saw this desperate situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Fire spiders hung above her head, launching fire attacks from time to time and spitting out silk in an attempt to entangle her.

Fang Hui, now transformed into a monster, glared with rage as he swung his fists at the defenses, which teetered on the brink of collapse.

Damn it, when it rains, it pours!

Tu Longjian tried his best to concentrate and accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy, even to the point of being a little crazy.

Spiritual energy! Spiritual energy! Spiritual energy!

She needs spirit!

We welcome all comers!

A vortex suddenly arose centered on Tu Longjian, and the giant fire spider and the monster Fang Hui were both drawn into the vortex. They were even horrified to discover that their spiritual energy was being absorbed by the person at the center!

Yellow, red, white, and even a trace of black spiritual energy swirled and was rapidly absorbed by Tu Longjian, which he absorbed and compressed in a haphazard manner.

Before long, Tu Longjian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and a very faint pattern of light slowly appeared beneath him.

Foundation Establishment Realm broken!

With a deafening roar, the cave was about to collapse. Fang Hui and Fire Spider lay dying in a corner, and everything around them was completely destroyed as if a whirlwind had swept through.

Before Tu Longjian could even savor the joy of advancing, he leaped out of the collapsed cave.

Whoosh! The cave beneath the sand dune collapsed completely, reaping the lives of Fang Hui and the giant fire spider, whose corpses would be buried forever underground.

However, out of Tu Longjian's sight, inside the collapsed cave, Fang Hui's body had turned into a pool of black water.

Tu Longjian stood in the desert and felt much stronger than before.

Just as she was about to test her strength, she saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds.

The desert rarely receives rainfall. What's going on? Could it be a lightning tribulation?

Your dad's a damn bastard!

For the first time since his transmigration, Tu Longjian abandoned his elegant demeanor and uttered a curse.
