Treasure Book.

Summary

The classification of Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators into three stages—upper, middle, and lower grades—by the Heavenly Secret Organization is logical. Foundation Establishment has nine levels, with the first three representing the early stage where one nourishes their dantian. Yue Chen, at this stage, has concealed his strength and passed the assessment for middle-level Earth-tier combat power, easily defeating lower-level cultivators. Yue Chen summons vines to search a one-legged immortal's belongings, finding only a few low-grade spirit stones. The vines absorb the corpse's essence, evolving into a bizarre form. Lu Zhu recognizes the sword qi as Yun Shui Jian Qi, and upon realizing Yue Chen's identity as a disciple of the Yun Shui Sword Sect, she expresses her respect. Yue Chen assures her safety and suggests they visit Yun Shui Town, a thriving town with a population that has grown due to the Yun Shui Sword Sect. The town has a temple honoring the True Monarch of Yun Shui, where residents pray for blessings. While Lu Zhu believes in the possibility of ascension, Yue Chen knows the reality of cultivation limits and prefers to avoid conflict with powerful cultivators.
