Chapter 45: The Third Foundation Level

Chapter 45 – Foundation Building Third Layer
The name of this magic weapon was called the Greenwood Heavenly Light Shield.

It was refined from the second-stage treasure materials A Wood Green Crystal and B Wood True Jade.

It contained multiple protective formations.

When attacked, this shield will independently release a layer of green light curtain, which can provide single-point defense or three hundred and sixty-five degrees of dead-angle protection.

Only when this shield is used for three hundred and sixty-five degrees of dead-angle defense, the ability to defend will be relatively weakened.

However, even so, this was a rather rare defensive artifact.

Compared to Jiang Chengxuan’s Violet Gold Spirit Shield, it was many times stronger.

After that, Jiang Chengxuan spent another three thousand five hundred spirit stones to purchase a second-order mid-grade magic weapon called the Shadow Splitting Spike.

The main function of this magic weapon was to pierce and sneak attack.

It specialized in breaking body protection spells and possessed an extremely strong stealth ability, making it hard for people to notice at first.

In the end, Jiang Chengxuan spent thousands more spirit stones and purchased a whole bunch of talisman making materials.

Combined with what he had previously obtained from the storage bags of many demonic cultivators, the talisman-making materials he had on him at this point were already enough to support him in making nearly a hundred second-order lower-grade talismans.

Or even more.

At that time, even if he couldn’t defeat his opponent in strength, he would be able to smash his opponent to death with these talismans.

When Jiang Chengxuan had exchanged and purchased almost all the things he wanted to exchange and buy, he didn’t stay out any longer.

After he and Shen Ruyan said goodbye to each other, he returned to his own cave.

He took out a second-order protective concealment array disk that he had previously obtained from that devil cultivator’s storage bag.

After Jiang Chengxuan refined it, he set it outside his cave.

After doing this, Jiang Chengxuan began to consider some of the things he would do next.

The first thing was naturally cultivation.

With the bottle of Earth Elemental Dan that Shen Mengxue had given him earlier, Jiang Chengxuan shouldn’t have too much of a problem trying to raise his cultivation to the third level of Foundation Establishment in the time that followed.

The only thing he needed to consider was whether or not he would be able to break through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, the so-called mid Foundation Establishment, before the Demonic Beast Rebellion came.

Then there was refining those magic weapons he had obtained today.

The most important of them was the second-order top-grade magic weapon flying sword that Shen Yuanlong, the old ancestor of the Shen family, had given him.

It was called the Xinjin Void Dragon Sword.

A metallic flying sword.

The body of the sword is engraved with the silhouette of a scaly dragon, which was refined from the bones of an ink scaly dragon.

It was characterized by its quickness and sharpness, able to cut through all tangible and intangible objects in an instant.

It was considered Jiang Chengxuan’s greatest piece of card at the moment.

Once it was sacrificed, even a cultivator at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment would be extremely fearful.

Next was that Cyanwood Heavenly Light Shield and Shadow Light Splitting Spike.

The former was his body protector and was very important, while the latter, which could enrich his means against the enemy, was likewise quite important.

In addition to refining these three second-order artifacts, Jiang Chengxuan also needed to cultivate the two second-order arts that he had exchanged from the Shen Clan’s Immortal Clan’s Scripture Pavilion.

One was the Burning Sea Inflammation Explosion Technique and the other was the Turtle Armor Earth Spirit Shield.

Both were things that could enhance his reserves.

And the last of the last, naturally, was to create a second-rank talisman.

The most important of these naturally went without saying, and that was the Golden Armored Puppet Talisman that the system had rewarded him with.

With the three pieces of Yellow Extreme Jade and four bottles of Heavenly Harmony Spirit Dew in his hands now, Jiang Chengxuan was almost able to produce three Golden Armor Puppet Talismans.

That’s three Foundation Establishment battle powers.

Though their strength, they were only equivalent to cultivators at the first level of Foundation Establishment, and existed for only a tea time.

But if used properly, it would definitely be a rather powerful base card.

Especially this golden-armored puppet summoned by the golden-armored puppet talisman, at the critical moment, it would be able to self-detonate.

If its opponent was unprepared, even a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in front of it could be seriously injured or even die as a result.

In addition to making this Golden Armor Puppet Talisman, Jiang Chengxuan also wanted to try to make a second-order mid-grade talisman afterward.

The most useful of these was a talisman called the Trap and Bind Talisman, which could directly bind the enemy, causing them to lose their mobility for a short period of time.

This would be very exciting to think about if it came at a critical moment in a great battle.

Only if he wanted to draw this kind of talisman, Jiang Chengxuan had to raise his talisman making cultivation to the middle grade of the second rank.

It had to be said that the things Jiang Chengxuan had to do next were really quite a lot.

With regard to the above mentioned, Jiang Chengxuan slightly estimated that without a decade or eight years, it would be impossible to complete.

Just as Jiang Chengxuan finished sorting out his succeeding tasks and began to start cultivating, Shen Daoming, who was the head of the Shen Clan’s Immortal Clan, was responding to Old Ancestor Shen Yuanlong’s summons and once again came to the top of Huawu Peak.

At this time, Shen Yuanlong was sitting in front of a stone table.

When he saw Shen Daoming come over, he immediately nodded at him.

“I already know what happened before, I called you over this time to ask you, what do you think about pledging your sister Shen Ruyan to that Jiang Chengxuan?”

“What?”

At first hearing these words from his own old ancestor, Shen Daoming’s heart was suddenly taken aback.

How could he not have expected that this time, his own old ancestor had called himself here in order to actually speak to himself about this matter.

“What? What’s the problem?”

Shen Daoming instantly came back to his senses and could not help but then let out a bitter smile and said:

“Old Ancestor, isn’t this too sudden?”

After a pause, Shen Daoming hurriedly continued:
“In addition I also have a question, you and Illusory Dream Old Ancestor, it seems that for Elder Jiang are particularly valued, can you tell my juniors, what exactly is the reason for this?”

However, Shen Yuanlong shook his head.

“This matter involves heavenly chances, your Illusory Dream Old Ancestor has already lost quite a bit of her lifespan because of this, if I were to reveal it, I’m afraid it would have an even greater impact on her.”

Speaking of this, Shen Yuanlong could not help but glance at Shen Daoming and said:
“I think with your understanding of that Elder Jiang, it shouldn’t be too difficult to guess some of the reasons for this.”

These words immediately caused Shen Daoming’s heart to move slightly.

He was a little incredulous, but knew better that his own two Elders would never joke about such a thing.

At that moment, he saw him nod and said, “Back to the old ancestors, I have no opinion on this matter, I just don’t know if my sister and Elder Jiang and the others would be willing.”

“You don’t have to worry about this.”

A smile appeared on Shen Yuanlong’s face.

“At that time, you only need to bring them to my side.”

……

Time was long, and in the blink of an eye, it was already more than three years later.

At this time, within Jiang Chengxuan’s cave, a surging aura rose violently.

Jiang Chengxuan, who was closing his meditation, opened his eyes at once, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Foundation Establishment Third Layer, finally became!
After these three years of continuous cultivation, together with the bottle of Earthly Yuan Dan that Shen Mengxue had given him earlier, Jiang Chengxuan had finally broken through his own cultivation level from the second Foundation Establishment layer to the third Foundation Establishment layer.
