Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Foundation Establishment, The Key to a Complete Transformation_1

"Yourong, just listen to your second aunt and stop hanging around with this boy. He’ll only bring you harm!" As Yourong’s cousin, Xu Qingfeng couldn’t wait for Xu Yourong to remain single for life, especially not with a powerhouse like Ning Fan.

Otherwise, if he were to inherit the Xu family’s assets in the future, it would be incredibly difficult.

"Yes, Miss Xu, don’t be fooled because he seems fine now. Who knows, once he leaves the hospital, he might be killed by the strong ones from the Divine Tune Sect or the Martial Alliance. Do you want to spend your life as a widow by staying with him?"

The foul mouth of Xue Shengbei made Xu Yourong wish she could tear it to shreds.

Ning Fan sighed.

He knew that Xu Yourong was in a difficult position between her family and him, especially since he indeed brought too much danger.

So, he endured!

"Miss Xu, you should rest well in the hospital first."

After saying this, Ning Fan gave Shuang’er a look and signaled to leave.

"Humph!"

Shuang’er threw a scornful look at everyone and briskly followed Ning Fan out of the ward.

"Ning Fan, don’t listen to their nonsense! I will wait for you, I will always wait for you!"

Xu Yourong, blocked by Dong Xiangyu, Xu Qingfeng, and Xue Shengbei and unable to leave, could only shout anxiously.

Ning Fan didn’t look back, only clenched his fists tightly.

He knew that he was still not strong enough.

Otherwise, the Xu family wouldn’t worry about him bringing trouble to Xu Yourong because of external threats and potential dangers.

...

Ning Fan brought Shuang’er and Lin Xiaoling back to the villa, where he saw the messy grounds and the damaged Spirit Gathering Array. After letting the two girls rest, he immediately started repairing and modifying the Spirit Gathering Array.

"Previously, the Spirit Gathering Array only gathered spiritual energy from heaven and earth, lacking defensive capabilities."

"Now, with my current level, enhancing and transforming a Gathering Spirit Defensive Formation shouldn’t be difficult."

"I’ve got it!"

A daring idea quickly popped into his mind.

...

God knows how much time passed when the brand new Gathering Spirit Defensive Formation took shape, a deep ’boom’ startled the two girls inside the villa.

Turns out, Ning Fan remembered the force of lightning he witnessed in the battle against Pei Wanjian and condensed two equal masses of Spirit Mist within the array.

Normally, this dense, fog-like spiritual energy would remain calm, instead providing double nourishment.

But if it were attacked by an external force, and once the balance of the Spirit Mist in the array was disrupted, it would generate powerful Spirit Mist Lightning from the friction.

Even though the force of the lightning would dissipate after exhausting the Spirit Mist, the mist could regenerate and repair itself.

Even if a strong one at the level of Chen Tianlang came again, the villa would be able to withstand for a long time.

"Wow! Master, the spiritual energy in the villa feels even denser now!" Shuang’er’s eyes sparkled with little stars as she said with admiration.

Ning Fan gave a faint smile.

He could sense that Shuang’er’s Qi Refinement first layer was now complete, and perhaps it wouldn’t be long before she made a breakthrough.

That night.

Bathed in the nourishment of the two massive Spirit Mists, Ning Fan consolidated his Qi Training Ninth Layer realm. The storm created by the continuous friction of the Spirit Mist and the faint synergy with the Thunder Tempering Body Decision inside him activated his Tempering Body Decision even more vigorously.

With the help of the Tempering Body Decision and the Gathering Spirit Defensive Formation, Ning Fan was able to completely solidify his realm that night.

"Phew!"

After exhaling a turbid breath, Ning Fan abruptly opened his eyes, his chest swelling with grand aspirations; there lurked the idea of assaulting the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The method of cultivation inherited from his mother stipulated that after the Qi Training Ninth Layer, the second major realm was the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Though he had entered the threshold of Qi Refinement, it was also said that one only truly entered the door of cultivation upon succeeding in Foundation Establishment!

Foundation Establishment allowed one to be reborn!

Without Foundation Establishment, it would all be in vain!

However, stepping into the Foundation Establishment Stage was incredibly difficult, and without the Foundation Establishment Pill, the chances of failure were nine out of ten.

"Boom!"

Suddenly.

A dull thud gave Ning Fan a start.

Following the noise, he discovered it was Shuang’er’s advancement to the Qi Training Second Layer that caused the commotion, he could not help but shake his head and wryly smile.

"This little girl has exceptional talent; she has broken through so quickly?"

While Ning Fan murmured to himself, Shuang’er excitedly dragged Lin Xiaoling over by the arm, her face filled with pride.

Yet in Lin Xiaoling’s eyes, there was only envy.

Truth be told, she wished she could be like Shuang’er, cultivating and growing stronger alongside her brother.

Ling’er sharply sensed Lin Xiaoling’s emotions and immediately thumped her chest, declaring, "Rest assured, Ling’er sister, with me there, you needn’t be afraid of anyone bullying you even without a master. My getting stronger is you getting stronger! I will definitely protect you!"

These words from Shuang’er made Lin Xiaoling both want to laugh and cry.

Ning Fan felt helpless as well.

Shuang’er had astonishing talent, yet his own sister couldn’t even step over the threshold.

...

Early the next day, Ning Fan noticed Lin Xiaoling with a furrowed brow and a troubled expression, clearly distressed by something.

"Ling’er, are you not feeling well?" Ning Fan rubbed Lin Xiaoling’s head, initially thinking Lin Xiaoling was still feeling down from Shuang’er’s breakthrough the day before.

"Brother, it’s about the head of the Tianling Biology company in the provincial city. We were planning to appoint Yu Lu, but since she stayed in Shen City, I have to recruit again!"

Lin Xiaoling explained as she pushed the notebook in front of her, speaking with a bitterness, "But after looking at so many resumes, none are satisfying."

Ning Fan chuckled, "What can you tell from just looking at resumes? You’ve let all those troubling issues distract you! How about this, notify a few candidates to come to the company, and I’ll accompany you to interview them."

"Really?" Lin Xiaoling lit up with joy, her face suddenly blooming with a smile.

Afterward, the two of them asked Shuang’er to practice cultivation in the villa and went to the company themselves.

A few hours later, nearing noon, as both of them emerged from the interview room, not just Lin Xiaoling, but even Ning Fan was covered in beads of sweat.

The interviewees were either all bark and no bite or full of empty talk.

Just as the two were preparing to go downstairs for lunch.

"Oh! I’m so sorry!"

Suddenly, a girl who was looking down while hurrying along bumped into Ning Fan; her papers scattering all over the ground. She apologized profusely while bending to gather them.

"Ma Li?" Ning Fan froze, speaking without thinking.

"Huh?" The girl, startled, looked up, and seeing Ning Fan’s face, her surprise turned to delight, "Brother-in-law? What are you doing here?"
