Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

"You, you, you, how could a hare bite someone when it gets anxious?"

Meng Yu's hand was in pain, and his heart ached even more; there was a bite mark that was neither deep nor shallow. Bai Qianqian stood in front of him with a face full of embarrassment.

She was extremely embarrassed. She had never lost her temper like this before, not even when her mother was jointly visited by debt collectors many years ago... So, upon seeing Meng Yu's 'claw', she bit down in her excitement.

"Alright... I'll tell you about my story from over there."

The absolute secrets, such as Growing Golden Lotus, he couldn't mention, so Meng Yu began to weave, exaggerate, omit, and conceal various details as he narrated the story of a minor character living in the Immortal Sect.

The backdrop of the story was enough.

A Qi Refinement Practitioner, describing the structure of another Cultivation World to a Golden Core Cultivator, if it wasn't real, there would be many laughably obvious flaws.

However, Bai Qianqian didn't sense any flaws, and meanwhile, Meng Yu also orally shared some Formation and basic spirit field cultivation knowledge from the Immortal Sect, which, being passed down in a continuous line and hard to improve, further enhanced the credibility of Meng Yu's words.

Especially when she heard Meng Yu recount the names and glorious history of the first twenty-some jade rabbits of the Immortal Sect, her eyes shone with fascination.

Who would care about that?

As for the story of Meng Yu...

"You've really had a tough life."

Listening to Meng Yu's recount of his parents' deaths, the various abuses he suffered, including falling behind in Cultivation resources, and ultimately having to flee the Enforcement Hall and being wanted, the little rabbit was moved to tears.

"What happened over there wasn't your fault. If I were you, I'd have run away too, at most not killing anyone."

Meng Yu's story was real, but the ending had been slightly altered. He didn't recount his robbery and murder spree in the Immortal Sect. Instead, he talked about how he refused to help Zhao Yuxiang, leading to her death, and then Hall Master Zhao began to investigate the death of Old Liefire. The Prison Warden was coerced into testifying, preparing to sentence him to death, so he killed a Foundation Establishment member of the Zhao Family and fled, leaving behind a significant reputation. The prior trade deal was canceled, and he became a fugitive in the Immortal Sect, where capture meant execution.

No robbery, no further struggle.

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's discuss the Formation in your jade slips."

Even with Hundredfold Strength, Meng Yu didn't want to transfer Formation knowledge to the Immortal Sect, but Hundredfold Strength was too cute. He even suspected there might be other trigger tasks from Hundredfold Strength if performed well.

Moreover, trade can vary greatly. Big Mao selling aircraft carriers to the White Elephant was also a form of trade, wasn't it?

Now, he had to establish a good relationship with this jade rabbit first and then continue to expand his business.

The Divine Artifact, Hundredfold Strength, was created by people from this world. Perhaps it was the so-called Investiture of the Gods, meant to cultivate kings or something. He didn't know how it became corrupted and unclear in the Immortal Sect or on Earth, devolving its functions. Nonetheless, its core intent remained skewed in favor of humanity.

"Regarding the Formation, I'll give it to you so you can take it to the people over there, okay?"

Meng Yu's words delighted Bai Qianqian. She had stalled in her research on the jade slips, but now she could take them to the Immortal Sect for further study. Unlike the lone struggle here, countless True Monarchs, real-persons, along with various universities and research institutions could complete the research there.

"Not good. That place is slightly better, but it's still full of scoundrels. I don't know any high-ups, and once they learn that I can travel between two different worlds, they will surely try to control me. Who knows how powerful the methods of those Nascent Souls and Divinity Transformations are. I only dare to stay in First-Order Minor Worlds for fear of being caught and killed. But even so, now that the news is out, their Nascent Souls and even those who have undergone Divinity Transformation would come in droves to the First-Order Minor Worlds to catch me. You understand, right?"

Bai Qianqian nodded. Meng Yu was right; even here, if the secret leaked, she would be doomed.

"So, we have to be strategic. For the information in the jade slips, I need you to help declassify and organize them. Then we can negotiate with the other side to exchange for many good things. How does that sound?"

"Exchange for things?"

Bai Qianqian was momentarily stunned before her eyes suddenly lit up.

Meng Yu had praised the prosperity on the other side – so what resources and Divine Artifacts could he bring back for her?

"You've toiled for so many years; your predecessors toiled for so many years. No matter what, you ought to have been officially acknowledged by now, right? After more than a million years, has the Immortal Sect ever paid you salary? That salary, first and foremost, needs to be claimed."

"But..."

"Secondly, these items... the patent rights should belong to you, right? How will the Immortal Sect compensate? I tell you, though spirit stones are scarce there, crafting and cultivation are highly developed. We can continuously obtain a lot of things..."

"No, that's too dangerous. Don't think about exchanging anything for me. However, I do have an idea..."

She looked at Meng Yu, her long ears waggling on top of her head.

"You've been to both sides, and the time variation is one to a hundred. With that, you can totally pass as a scholar. I'll give you all the knowledge about Formation; once you've mastered it, over at the Immortal Sect, you'll become a famous researcher.

No matter the sect, researchers are always held in high esteem. In time, you can also trade with the Immortal Sect for safety."

"But if that happens, what about all the hard work you and your predecessors put in?"

"Success does not necessarily include me; now I am the only jade rabbit left. As long as you remember our sacrifice, that's enough. As for the rest, it's really not necessary. That you would trust me with the secret of crossing between two realms, I am deeply touched. Thank you, Meng Yu."

Bai Qianqian bowed deeply to Meng Yu, the little rabbit remembered any kindness shown to her.

"But..."

"There are no buts, learn formation with me, and then, Scholar Meng, welcome to make a dazzling entrance into the Immortal Sect. Use your wisdom to fiercely slap the faces of those who have hurt you."

Under the bright moonlight, the red-eyed, white-furred ancestor spoke with utter sincerity and seriousness.

"You guys, really are..."

Suddenly, Meng Yu's heart was touched. These rabbits had fought for a promise for a million years, and now they were wholeheartedly helping him just because he showed them a secret.

He truly measured the rabbit's kindness with the heart of a petty person!

...

The Immortal Sect.

Today in the Immortal Sect's college entrance exam Group No. 10008, everyone was discussing the problem of Foundation Establishment.

As time passed, everyone had reached their junior year in college. Apart from the daily grind of research and study, some had already started to consider how to establish their foundation.

Most students would choose their paths in college and then, upon entering society, make their first attempt at Foundation Establishment in their thirties or even forties. Of course, there were geniuses who aimed to achieve Foundation Establishment during their college years.

But no matter what, the 10,008 members of this group were the elite of the elite from the Immortal Sect, and their chances of successful Foundation Establishment were high.

Generally speaking, Foundation Establishment involves cultivating one's main technique to the Great Perfection and then consuming a Foundation Establishment Pill or a similar medicine, using the surging medicinal power to break through barriers and achieve transcendence.

The principle is the same, but the effects vary.

The Five Elements spirit roots are different, as are the levels of cultivation techniques practiced. Many things need to be fine-tuned and learned from experience. Some students with connections have already paid high prices to consult companies and senior teachers for similar information, even eagerly seeking to observe someone similar who is preparing for Foundation Establishment.

Although recordings of Foundation Establishment are widely available, it is best to observe the changes in airflow and movement of spiritual energy on the spot.

Foundation Establishment will decide their future, and not a step can be taken carelessly. If hidden flaws are left behind when establishing the foundation for a moment of joy, it may pose an obstacle to achieving the Golden Core later on.

For example, tonight's discussion was about which method of Foundation Establishment is best, whether to focus on cultivation or improve the spirit root first, or how to find treasures, etc.

The spirit root is related to Foundation Establishment. Although the spirit root is innate, it can also be improved postnatally as long as one is willing to invest...

"I'm also troubled, the value of my spirit root isn't great, sigh..."

Someone replied, and their sparkling golden name caught everyone's eyes.

It was Meng Yu, who had changed his signature again. His previous signature, "When the notion to defect arises, in an instant the world becomes vast," had earned him scorn, so he changed it to "Starting a business abroad, repaying the Immortal Sect!"

This idea of starting a business abroad wasn't well understood by everyone, but it made the surrounding Star Domains tense for a while. Your next chapter is on empire

That's right, Meng Yu was also about to establish his foundation, wasn't he? It was said that many who suffered because of Meng Yu were flexing their muscles, waiting for Meng Yu to establish his foundation, to chase him down across the Second-Order World.

"But, Brother Meng, with your high cultivation, your spirit root value shouldn't affect much, right?"

Someone cautiously responded, knowing Meng Yu's spirit root was quite ordinary—this had long been reported by the media, and many with lesser talents simply took Meng Yu as an inspirational figure.

"It's still not good, but it's fine. I am actively working on improving my spirit root."

Meng Yu posted a screenshot showing his Five Elements spirit root had improved quite a bit compared to before, especially in wood and fire.

"Ah, Brother Meng, have you established your foundation?"

Someone else replied.

After establishing a foundation, the spirit root would indeed improve, a fact known throughout the Immortal Sect.

"No, even though I have reached Great Perfection and I feel that I may not need a Foundation Establishment Pill to succeed, I think that the current methods of Foundation Establishment are somewhat flawed and not the most suitable for me. I am considering different methods."

"Yes, taking a Foundation Establishment Pill does have some minor issues, after all it's not a natural progression, but a forced enhancement with medicine. Foundation Establishment by Enlightenment is indeed more powerful, but it has a one in ten thousand success rate."

Some felt that Meng Yu was showing off again, pretending to have the chance for Foundation Establishment by Enlightenment.

"No, I am talking about Foundation Establishment by Enlightenment. I think it has flaws that don't suit me."
