Foundation building is simply building a foundation.
If it succeeds, it succeeds; if it doesn't, it doesn't.
Granny Rui had lived for decades and had never heard of anyone having an unstable foundation.
"Okay, it's decided then!"
Rong Xi waved her hand, ending the conversation there.
Cultivation, cultivation is the only true path.
Within a month, fetal breathing.
This is a system task. If it is not completed, the foundation of cultivation will be shattered and the host will die.
From this perspective, her statement that her foundation was unstable wasn't entirely unreasonable. It's just that the system's existence was clearly something that couldn't be brought into the open.
Rong Xi quickly entered a meditative state.
Granny Rui and the others had no choice but to leave the room and stand guard outside.
Once she was alone in the room, Rong Xi quickly opened her eyes; she still had a newbie gift pack to claim!
"Ding! Host, are you sure you want to activate the newbie gift pack?"
"Of course I'm sure!"
Rong Xi felt that this system of hers was really depressing.
It's like giving someone a gift, and when they want to open it and take a look, you have to ask, "Are you sure you want to see it?" Only someone with a screw loose would do that.
"Ding! Host has activated the newbie gift pack!"
"Congratulations, host! You have obtained a semi-abandoned cultivation cave!"
As the system notification sounded, Rong Xi had only one thought: "You damn system, could you be any more depressing? A cultivation cave is fine, but what's with this half-abandoned one? Did you find this newbie gift pack in a garbage dump?"
Rong Xi was furious!
However, the system habitually went into a state of feigned death, offering no response whatsoever to Rong Xi's complaints and anger.
Aren't all systems supposed to be arrogant and aloof?
Shouldn't systems be unable to tolerate criticism from their hosts?
Why did she end up with such an unreliable system?
Rong Xi really wanted to curse the entire family of the time-traveling god, but in the end, she held back. If it weren't for the time-traveling god, even if she had transmigrated, she would still be an ordinary person.
Yes, one should be content and learn to be grateful.
This is a semi-abandoned cultivation cave; we'll have to make do with it.
Rong Xi calmed herself down and slowly studied the cultivation cave. After only a short while, she came to a conclusion: she needed to find a way to collect spirit stones; hmm, she also needed to learn the art of formations; oh, and maybe she'd also need to learn farming and alchemy…
The reason this cultivation cave is half abandoned is because of insufficient spiritual energy.
The lack of spiritual energy is due to damage to the spirit-gathering array in the cave, which requires the art of array formations to repair.
What's more, this cave is not a professional cultivation site, but a plantation-type cave.
Of course, if the spirit-gathering array in the cave is repaired, the cultivation speed will be greatly increased with the spiritual energy gathered in the cave to assist in cultivation.
However, repairing the spirit-gathering array requires spirit stones, at the very least high-grade spirit stones, and ideally, top-grade spirit stones.
Furthermore, the spirit-gathering array in this cave is of a very high grade, far superior to the low-grade spirit-gathering arrays found in the Qing Dynasty imperial palace.
The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere in my pursuit.
Rong Xi thought for a moment and decided to temporarily put aside this half-abandoned cultivation cave and go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to extort money from it tomorrow. Bah, she was going to collect what was rightfully hers, so how could it be called extortion?
This is not extortion!
How can this be considered extortion?
Rong Xi mentally hypnotized herself and then resumed her cultivation.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, her body absorbed spiritual energy at an even faster rate. Moreover, every pore on her body was absorbing spiritual energy.
As a result, as Rong Xi cultivated, the spiritual energy of the entire prince's quarters trembled.
To outsiders, the spiritual energy within the area where the Fourth Prince resides appears to converge here.
Fortunately, it was nighttime, and most people were already asleep. The others who were still cultivating were either using spirit stones or their cultivation levels were too low to detect this slight change in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The night was spent in meditation.
The two thousand low-grade spirit stones in Rong Xi's hands were completely turned into stone dust.
She really couldn't bear to spend the remaining twenty mid-grade spirit stones.
Twenty mid-grade spirit stones, if you're lucky, can be exchanged for ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. The spiritual energy isn't pure enough? Others will definitely be wary, but when you encounter Rong Xi, a spiritual energy glutton, it's like Han Xin deploying his troops—the more the merrier.
As dawn broke, Rong Xi, feeling refreshed, pushed open the door.
"What a beautiful day!"
The sun rises in the east, and auspicious purple clouds drift in from the east.
When Rong Xi saw a wisp of purple aura on the eastern horizon, the five-colored altar she sensed suddenly trembled, releasing a strange suction force that swallowed the wisp of purple aura in the morning glow.
What are you doing?
"System, come out and explain yourself!"
Rong Xi roared inwardly.
The purple aura that comes from the east is said to represent supreme fortune. Generally speaking, only the favored children of heaven and earth possess this.
But now, this five-colored altar, which represents my cultivation status, has swallowed purple energy. What does that mean?
Rong Xi was a little nervous.
Unfortunately, the system is still pretending to be dead...
"You win, we'll see!"
No matter how unhappy Rong Xi was, she didn't even know what the system was or where it was hidden, so she could only obediently endure it.
After a night of cultivation, the base of the five-colored altar has been dyed.
Two thousand half-waste low-grade spirit stones and a sumptuous spiritual meal were enough to fill the base of the five-colored altar, which made Rong Xi feel immense pressure.
Advancing to the fetal breathing stage within a month seems quite difficult!
However, this difficult task must be completed, unless she wants to say goodbye to this beautiful world.
Clearly, Rong Xi was terrified of dying.
Moreover, this Qing Dynasty, a land where cultivation is possible, boasts countless delicacies and numerous wonders waiting for her to discover. As a foodie, and a remarkable woman determined to be a freeloader, she naturally wants to live life to the fullest.
"By the way, did Prince Baylor not return last night either?"
Rong Xi looked at Granny Rui, who was guarding outside the door, and asked softly.
"Reporting to the Princess Consort, the Prince has indeed not returned!"
"Alright, let's go to the Imperial Household Department then!"
"Don't you need breakfast?"
"No rush, let's go to the Imperial Household Department and collect the Foundation Establishment Pills first!"
Rong Xi now only wants to get her own Foundation Establishment Pill. "Oh, by the way, this princess should have more than one Foundation Establishment Pill, right?"
After all, Foundation Establishment is crucial, and to ensure its success, the number of Foundation Establishment Pills must not be just one.
Three!
"The prince's wife is allotted three Foundation Establishment Pills!"
Granny Rui was somewhat helpless.
"I possess five spiritual roots; are three enough? By the way, how many did Empress Renxiao use?"
Nine!
Granny Rui was even more helpless.
However, there were some things she truly dared not say aloud. The Empress, as the mother of the nation, had an unlimited share, while she, Fujin, was merely the primary wife of a prince or nobleman, entitled to only three shares—that was the rule!
