Chapter 497: The Purple Cloud Fruit
"Oh?"
Qin Sang asked curiously, "What good news?"
Wandering Man smiled mysteriously. "Brother Qin, let me ask you first, has your foundation fully recovered?"
"No," Qin Sang shook his head, his voice sinking slightly, "The Heyun Pills that Senior had Li Yufu deliver have lost much of their effectiveness. My foundation is still just a little short of being fully healed. I can feel it now that spiritual medicines like the Heyun Pill no longer have any effect on me. This is my greatest worry. I'm afraid that the damage to my foundation might affect my Core Formation."
During this time, Qin Sang had been hesitating over whether he should go ahead and refine the Snow Spirit Lotus and Iris Flower.
Having cultivated smoothly to the Fake Core Realm, he could not help but harbor a sliver of hope that perhaps the damage to his foundation would not impede him in breaking through the bottleneck.
But he could not be certain.
If his foundation remained damaged and he failed to form a Golden Core, refining those two herbs now would amount to nothing but waste.
Wandering Man said, "While I was in seclusion at the sect, I found an opportunity to consult a senior uncle about your situation."
"That senior uncle is particularly skilled in the path of alchemy. His attainments in alchemy are second to none even within the Taiyi Core Sect, superior even to the sect master. If anyone could resolve your doubts, it would be him."
"He said that cases like yours, where a cultivator manages to reach the Fake Core Realm despite damage to their foundation, are extremely rare, but not unheard of."
"According to him, the damage would not be a decisive factor in preventing Core Formation. There have been successful precedents in the history of immortal cultivation. Brother Qin, you can proceed without fear."
