Chapter 61: Swallow True, Building Foundation Boundary!

  Swallow's performance this time really foreshadowed one thing - Swallow's cultivation had already reached the foundation building stage.

  How is it possible!

  Building the foundation is not that easy to reach. From the Qi-gathering period to the Building Foundation period, one needs to open up the Baihui acupoint. Even for those who have been practicing Qi-gathering for nine cycles, it's usually unknown whether they will take three to five years or even longer to reach the Building Foundation stage. If one can open up the Building Foundation stage before the age of 40, that's still okay; if one can reach the Building Foundation stage before the age of 30, that's considered not bad; and those who can reach the Building Foundation stage before the age of 20 are extremely rare geniuses.

  Yan Zhen is only sixteen years old and has already reached the foundation building stage!

  This is simply speechless.

  Looking at Yan Zhen's faint smile, many people were speechless.

  Lin Datong's eyes were about to pop out. Earlier, Lin Datong had said: "This child hasn't disappointed our expectations as elders, not bad, not bad at all. It seems that in another three to five years, advancing to the 9th level of Qi Refining won't be difficult, and who knows, maybe there will be an opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage." The words were still ringing in his ears when Yan Zhen had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, which was simply shocking.

  Lin Daluo's eyes also widened in shock. As Lin Daluo, the second uncle, naturally knew what kind of person his nephew Yan Zhen was before. In Lin Daluo's memory, Yan Zhen was a complete waste of a person, so Lin Dali and Lin Dalu liked to bully him whenever they had nothing better to do, just to feel superior. In Lin Daluo's opinion, Yan Zhen's cultivation level should be around the third or fourth stage of Qi Refining, and if he could reach the fifth stage, it would be a huge leap forward, a true reversal of fortunes. The possibility of him reaching the sixth stage was zero, and the possibility of him reaching the seventh, eighth, or ninth stages was absolutely impossible, just a pipe dream. But now, Yan Zhen was not at the seventh, eighth, or ninth stage of Qi Refining, but rather at the Foundation Establishment realm, which was even more powerful than the seventh, eighth, or ninth stages of Qi Refining!

  Lin Bufan also felt a great deal of irony, especially since Lin Bufan had previously said: "If Yan Zhen wants to be taught by his elder brother, I can teach him for free. It seems that teaching you is quite effortless." And then there was what Yan Zhen had just said: "Elder brothers, please point out my progress in cultivation and don't hesitate to directly tell me where I'm lacking. I will humbly learn from your guidance." When these two sentences are combined, the irony is truly unmatched.

  Lin Buqun was even more shocked, Lin Buqun had known Yan Zhen since childhood and knew that his cousin's strength was quite poor, far inferior to himself. Lin Buqun had fought with Yan Zhen five times before, winning all five battles. But now, Yan Zhen had actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage, which was simply unimaginable.

  Yan Tieyi and Lin Ying were also stunned. Yan Zhen was indeed their son, so they naturally understood him. Yan Zhen seemed to have average innate talent for cultivating immortality since childhood and was somewhat lazy, so his cultivation had always been average. The fact that he could enter the second-rate immortal sect Qingfeng Sect through the Introduction Shop was already a blessing from their ancestors. When Yan Zhen first returned home, Yan Tieyi asked about his cultivation, but Lin Ying immediately stopped him, knowing that Yan Zhen's cultivation wasn't high and fearing it would stimulate Yan Zhen. But now, Yan Zhen had given them a shocking surprise - he had reached the Foundation Establishment realm!

  Yan Tieyi himself had not reached the foundation-building stage, and he did not have a good innate talent. He was already over 30 years old but still only in the ninth layer of the Qi Refining stage. Suddenly, Yan Zhen surpassed his father's cultivation level. The foundation-building stage was indeed extraordinary. In a second-rate sect, it was nothing special, but in the Cultivation City, the foundation-building stage was almost invincible.

  Ye Xing was first surprised and then laughed, seeing her son doing a great job as a mother was also very comforting.

  In Yan Xuejun's beautiful eyes, shock was written all over. She certainly understood what kind of person her older brother Yan Zhen used to be, but now Yan Zhen had suddenly appeared in a powerful stance. Was this really the useless older brother from before? Moreover, Yan Xuejun was also wondering, hadn't she always been more excellent than this useless older brother? The usually proud and confident Yan Xuejun felt doubt for the first time, but she immediately clenched her fist tightly. Since she was one year younger than Yan Zhen, as long as her cultivation caught up with her brother's next year, she would surpass him. She was determined to surpass her brother.

  Lin Xiaole looked at Yan Zhen, the little girl smiled. She believed that Yan Zhen's older brother would definitely become stronger, she had believed it before and still did now. And indeed, Yan Zhen's older brother became stronger. Lin Xiaole still remembered when she was a child, her big brothers Lin Bufan and Lin Bugun were too busy cultivating to play with her, only her cousin Yan Zhen would play with her.

  In the field, a long silence.

  Yan Zhen broke through to the foundation-building boundary, bringing earth-shattering shock.

  Finally, Old Lady Lin spoke up: "Yan Zhen, you're really not bad. I didn't expect you to become so strong at such a young age. In the future, you must continue to work hard and strive to make your family's name shine." As the eldest and most respected person present, her words were considered a summary and conclusion.

  Next, let's all have a drink together.

  When drinking, it was the turn of Yan Tieyi and Ye Qing to repeatedly toast, Yan Zhen's promotion to Zhuji boundary made Yan Tieyi and Ye Qing's faces rise greatly, and they became more lively. The two uncles Lin Datong and Lin Dalin, who were very active just now, are relatively quiet, their momentum has been completely suppressed by Yan Zhen. Ye Bufan and Ye Bugun, the two eldest brothers, also looked extremely embarrassed, Yan Xuejun's two black eyes like ink dots kept rolling around, her lips seemed to smile but not quite.

  This family dinner, overall, had a very eerie atmosphere. After finishing the meal, according to usual custom, Lin Datong and Lin Dalin, the two brothers, would sit down and talk at length, boasting or pointing fingers at Yan Tieyi on how to educate his son. However, today Lin Datong and Lin Dalin both didn't have the face to stay, and quickly took their leave. After leaving the Lin Manor, Lin Datong and Lin Dalin both grumbled and complained about how Yan Zhen's son had become so strong, they originally went there to show off their own son, but ended up being slapped in the face by Yan Zhen instead.

  In the Lin Mansion, Lin Qing accompanied Old Lady Lin and chatted for an entire afternoon. They had a lot to talk about as mother and daughter. Meanwhile, Yan Tiejun asked Yan Zhen about his recent rapid progress in cultivation, having unexpectedly advanced to the Foundation Establishment realm. Yan Zhen could only make up a lie, saying that he had unintentionally found a crimson-colored spiritual herb in the mountains and that after consuming it, his cultivation had soared. Such instances of accidentally discovering spiritual herbs leading to significant breakthroughs were not unheard of in history. Therefore, Yan Tiejun easily believed him. Yan Tiejun's current mood was one of excitement - an extraordinary kind of excitement. The Yan family had finally produced a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which was truly a face-saving achievement.

  Yan Zhen looked at his excited father, Yan Tieyi, and his mother, Lin Ying, with a hint of emotion. In his past life, he had caused his parents so much worry, breaking his meridians and making them run around to find doctors to treat him. But in this life, he was determined to succeed and repay his parents.

  "Uh, it's the weekend, everyone have a good weekend!"
