etc!
Rong Xi pondered Rui Mama's words. Rui Mama said that a Foundation Establishment Pill was worth at least ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. At least, at the very least!
In other words, this Foundation Establishment Pill is likely something that is priceless and unavailable. If handled properly, it could potentially earn tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, which would be a real fortune!
The thought of earning tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones made Rong Xi grin from ear to ear.
Don't talk to her about the demeanor a primary consort should have. Without cultivation or spirit stones, she's just a figurehead, a mere decoration. Relying on others' pity, she lives a miserable life as the primary consort.
This time, if she hadn't been pregnant, the only person serving her would have been Magpie.
But now, both Granny Rui and Granny Xiang are at the Golden Core stage.
A mother's status rises with her son's!
Rong Xi, however, believed more in another saying: "Mountains crumble, people run away; ultimately, one must rely on oneself." Relying on others? Even one's own parents aren't always reliable, let alone men?
"By the way, what about dinner?"
Rong Xi quickly realized that this should be dinnertime. But what about her dinner?
"The magpie has already gone to have preparations made!"
Granny Rui had been observing Rong Xi's changing expressions and naturally hadn't missed Rong Xi's overwhelming joy. Just as she was wondering if she should say something, Rong Xi changed the subject.
The abrupt shift from Foundation Establishment Pills to eating made Granny Rui realize that she truly couldn't see through Rong Xi. Having spent many years in the palace and seen all sorts of people, Rong Xi was a unique case.
Before long, the magpie returned, followed by a group of palace maids who brought out all sorts of delicious dishes.
"This is……?!"
Looking at the delicious food in front of her, Rong Xi's expression froze slightly.
This food was not the kind of ordinary dishes she had ever eaten before; each dish exuded a faint spiritual energy.
This is spiritual food!
Both Granny Rui and Granny Xiang had frozen in shock. The sacred food!
Throughout their cultivation, the two of them have enjoyed spiritual meals so few that they can count them on one hand.
"Magpie, what's going on?"
Rong Xi looked at the magpie and learned from Granny Rui how precious the spiritual food was. Rong Xi really didn't expect to be able to eat spiritual food in the palace, after all, the level was not high enough.
According to her plan, once she leaves the palace, she will find a way to obtain spiritual food herself. She wants to taste what this spiritual food that drives cultivators crazy tastes like and what special effects it has.
"My lord, this was sent by the Prince. The Prince will be coming over later to dine with you!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Xi was taken aback again, then her face lit up with joy. The Fourth Prince had finally returned!
"This servant takes her leave!"
Upon hearing that the Fourth Prince was coming to dine with Rong Xi, Granny Rui and Granny Xiang spoke in unison, bowed to Rong Xi, and then left the room.
The magpie also retreated.
When masters dine, they generally need someone to serve them.
However, spiritual food is different from ordinary food.
Since spiritual food contains spiritual energy, it's better to prepare it yourself. Otherwise, the spiritual energy might be taken by the person serving it.
Magpie didn't understand this, but with Granny Rui and Granny Xiang around, she naturally had someone to teach her.
Rong Xi didn't understand any of this either.
Fortunately, after Granny Rui, Granny Xiang, and Magpie left, the Fourth Prince came in.
"May you have good fortune, sir!"
Rong Xi rose and gave the Fourth Prince a graceful bow, just as Ulanara had done in the past.
"You're almost at the Foundation Establishment stage?!"
The Fourth Prince's usually calm and composed demeanor crumbled the moment he saw Rong Xi.
He knew exactly when Rong Xi started cultivating. How long had it been? She had already reached the edge of Foundation Establishment; her cultivation aptitude made him feel ashamed.
Foundation building, also known as 100-day foundation building.
Most cultivators with decent aptitude can complete the Foundation Establishment stage within a hundred days. Only a few exceptionally talented individuals can shorten the Foundation Establishment time.
Of course, some people, in order to hone their foundation and build a solid foundation for cultivation, will still go through a hundred days to carefully refine themselves and achieve the most perfect foundation building.
Even in historical records, no one has ever completed the foundation building process in such a short time.
Well, Rong Xi hasn't completed the Foundation Establishment stage yet.
However, the Fourth Prince clearly saw that Rong Xi was only half a step away from Foundation Establishment. He even felt that Rong Xi would complete Foundation Establishment after finishing this spiritual meal.
"Yes, will this take a long time?"
Rong Xi smiled and looked at the Fourth Prince, "Before, Granny Rui and the others were also very surprised. Your Highness, is there something wrong with me?"
"Give me your hand!"
The Fourth Prince pondered for a moment before taking Rong Xi's pulse.
Rong Xi obediently extended her hand, allowing the Fourth Prince to take her pulse.
His pulse was strong and steady, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with him.
The Fourth Prince slowly released his grip and said, "Judging from the pulse, there is absolutely no problem!"
"I was so scared! I thought something terrible had happened!"
Rong Xi feigned surprise and smiled at the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince resumed his expressionless and aloof demeanor, picked up the white jade chopsticks on the table, and said calmly, "Let's eat!"
"Master, this is spiritual food. May I eat it?"
"Of course, this table was specially prepared for you!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Rong Xi was well aware of the preciousness of spiritual food. How could she not be overjoyed that the Fourth Prince had specially prepared such a feast for her?
Of course, deep down, she also harbored a little melancholy.
Her melancholy stemmed from jealousy of the departed Ulanara clan. After all, the Fourth Prince prepared the funeral meal for Ulanara.
Okay, now she is Ulanara.
But she wasn't from the Ulanara clan either.
This is truly a sad topic!
Rong Xi hesitated for only a moment before her attention was completely drawn to the spiritual food before her. It was delicious, brimming with spiritual energy, and the taste was absolutely amazing!
As Rong Xi enjoyed the delicious food, the percentage number in the illusory scene that only she could see began to jump again.
The speed at which she jumped was even faster than the speed at which she absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit stones during her cultivation.
Ninety-four percent!
Ninety-five percent!
...
Ninety-nine percent!
hundred percent!
When the illusory number jumped to one hundred percent, the diagram of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint cycle in front of Rong Xi completely disappeared.
At the same time, Rong Xi remained still, and her aura began to sublimate.
Foundation building!
The Fourth Prince, sitting opposite, saw this scene and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. But he quickly flicked his wrist and threw out pieces of spirit stones.
Five spirit stones!
They belong to the five elements and fall around Rong Xi's body.
