The plan is good, but two problems must be solved before it can be implemented.
The first problem is... Xiao Ren hasn't established his foundation yet.
Of the four, Luo Jiujiang and Xie Chuncan were both already Foundation Establishment cultivators. Feng Xue, being an alien, could be considered regardless of his cultivation level. However, Feng Ren was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, still a long way from Foundation Establishment.
If she walked out of the boundary membrane and entered the turbulence of time and space, she would surely die.
"Then we can only force her to grow." Xie Chuncan circled around Xiaoren several times, risking his life to withstand the sudden barrage of swift sword strikes from Xiaoren, and probed her meridians. "Her foundation is solid. If we can feed her two foundation-building pills, she can still reach the foundation-building realm."
As for whether to consolidate her cultivation and enrich her meridians after leaving, or to abandon her cultivation and rebuild her foundation, that was entirely up to her. Right now, the only thing she could do was focus on the present moment.
"Foundation-Building Pill?" Luo Jiujiang was stunned. There wasn't even a single spiritual herb in this place. It was a joke to try to get the finished Foundation-Building Pill directly.
"You can exchange it at the 'market'. I'll go when the market opens." Xie Chuncan said lightly.
Luo Jiujiang was silent for a moment, then took out the bag containing the wooden sign from the waist of his tattered leather coat piled in a corner of the cave and pushed it to Xie Chuncan.
If the first problem can still be solved, then the second problem is purely a hardware problem that Luo Jiujiang needs to shoulder alone: although it is the same world, the boundary membranes in different places are thicker or thinner, and the force required to break the boundary membranes is also greater or lesser.
As the one with the most outstanding perception among the four, Luo Jiujiang is responsible for finding the weakest point of the boundary membrane.
At the same time, as the person with the strongest explosive power among the four, it is still him who has to swing the shocking sword that breaks the sky - if Feng Xue had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, she might be able to share this task with Luo Jiujiang. However, for some reason, her cultivation level has been declining in recent years, and now she is only at the first level of Qi Refining, and she is almost not even considered a cultivator.
Xiao Ren, who seemed dull and clueless, suddenly expressed her opinion on this matter: "Sister, you provide the blood and information, Jiujiang is responsible for opening the passage, and what about him?" She pointed at Xie Chuncan with one hand, turned to Feng Xue and asked, "Sister, what is he responsible for?"
A golden opportunity had been handed to Feng Xue. If she didn't seize it, she would be doing a disservice to her and Xie Chuncan's maddening feud. She calmly replied, "He's in charge of slacking off."
"I'll be responsible for replacing your Foundation Establishment Pill. Of the four of us, you have the most difficulty getting out." Xie Chuncan said in astonishment, "Your thinking process in attacking me is very smooth. Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"
"I am my sister's sword, and my sister is my brain." Xiao Ren said without hesitation, "Do you look down on our swords, or do you look down on our brains?"
"..." Xie Chuncan said angrily, "You are not stupid at all. The knives that appeared from various places in the beginning were intentional." If he still believed that Xiao Ren had no brains, he would be a fool. There is no fool in the world who can use the opponent's force to counterattack!
"What's going on again?" Luo Jiujiang's voice came from afar. In the snow and ice, he was only wearing a single piece of clothing, and his whole body was faintly covered with a thin layer of white mist. It was obvious that he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was emitting steaming heat.
He was holding a few plump, round snowbirds upside down in his hands. Even before he arrived, his voice had already reached him: "I invited Brother Xie to join us, mainly in case something unexpected happens that day. We just want more sharpshooters like Brother Xie, who can shoot wherever they point and never miss."
As he spoke, Luo Jiujiang approached from a distance. His forehead was stained with sweat, and across his waist lay his treasured long sword. His young and handsome face was full of fatigue, but his eyes held a bright smile. "Of course, the most important thing is that Brother Xie and I hit it off right away. It would be abhorrent if I couldn't go out with Brother Xie."
Xie Chuncan snorted in response to his compliment, and stopped arguing with the two sisters. He caught a string of snowbirds that Luo Jiujiang threw to him and said, "Didn't you go practice swordplay? Why do you still want to catch birds?"
Due to the heavy responsibility he shouldered, Luo Jiujiang had been practicing his "One Slash Breaks the Wind Pavilion" move day and night for the past few days. He had grasped the essence of this move during his battle with Xie Chuncan, and now he only needed the experience to fully understand it.
In the beginning, any time he used this move, his spiritual energy would be drained away, and he would collapse on the spot. But yesterday, he was able to drag his exhausted body back on his own. Today's result was even more gratifying—he actually had the energy to catch a few snowbirds.
"Brother Xie, you've been working so hard lately. I'm thinking of roasting some bird meat as a reward." Luo Jiujiang's eyes curved as he patted Xie Chuncan's shoulder affectionately. "Thank you for your help, Brother Xie. Make sure you don't get the order wrong when bleeding, plucking, and removing the internal organs. Remember to stay away when handling this. Sister Xue can't stand the smell of blood."
Xie Chuncan: “…”
Xie Chuncan narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly, "You and I are both at the foundation building stage. Feng Xue doesn't eat meat. You must have been caught by Xiao Ren."
"No, no." Luo Jiujiang said sincerely, "Although Miss Xiaoren has been practicing hard recently, my heart is still with you. Brother Xie, don't you know that eating what you need will replenish what you lack..."
Xie Chuncan didn't even draw his bow, but directly pulled out a feather arrow and threw it with his bare hand, which hit Luo Jiujiang's scalp and loosened his hairband.
"You get out too." Xie Chuncan said unhappily while holding the string of snowbirds.
Luo Jiujiang laughed heartily, walking around Xie Chuncan and heading straight into a corner of the cave. He fished out from under the snow a set of slate pots and shovels he had polished in his spare time, and happily announced, "We're having meat today."
