Chapter 227 Jin Wancai
That voice, frivolous yet carrying a hint of unquestionable confidence, rang out abruptly behind Liu Zhenzhen.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head sharply to look.
She saw that on a sand dune not far away, a figure had quietly appeared at some unknown moment.
That was a woman, dressed in a form-fitting golden outfit, which outlined her tall and curvaceous figure to perfection.
His eyes were long and narrow, the corners slightly upturned, and a faint, elusive smile hung on his thin lips, making it impossible for others to discern his thoughts.
What shocked Liu Zhenzhen the most was the unfathomable aura on him, which clearly far exceeded the scope of Qi Refining and was countless times more powerful than her current Qi Refining Perfection Realm.
Seeing that Liu Zhenzhen just stared at him in silence without answering, he thought she had been stunned by this sudden immortal fate, and he couldn't help but chuckle, patiently repeating it once more.
"Little sister, why are you spacing out? I ask you, do you want to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm? You only need to nod, and I, your older sister, can give you a hand, allowing you to easily cross this chasm that countless Cultivators dream of. How about it?"
Liu Zhenzhen finally recovered from the shock. She recalled what Su Meier had just said, suppressing the suspicion in her heart, but her cold, clear eyes were still full of vigilance.
"Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, he laughed heartily, clapping his hands as if he had heard a joke; the laughter was crisp and pleasant, yet carried a hint of arrogance.
"Giggle—why is it that lately, one by one, none of you recognize me? Very well, then you must listen carefully, and even more importantly, remember well."
He took a step forward, his long, narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and said word by word: "I am the Young Lord of this Sancai Workshop, Jin Wancai!"
"How about it? The first moment I saw you, I felt—you are very much to my liking! Do you want to agree to become that Foundation Establishment Cultivator that everyone can become?"
Jin Wancai!?
Liu Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, her face full of disbelief, and a monstrous storm surged in her heart.
What is going on?
Jin Wancai?
Had he not already been killed by Liu Seventeen in a mutual destruction?
This matter was proven by the System's notification; there was absolutely no possibility of it being fake!
More importantly, the person in front of her was clearly a woman!
Compared to the Jin Wancai who had been killed before, whether in appearance, physique, or even temperament, they were completely different, like two different people!
Could it be—they just happened to have the same name and surname, and also happened to both hold the position of Young Lord?
But this was too much of a coincidence!
But if they were truly the same person, how could the System's notification be explained? Given that guy's personality, if he met her again, it would be impossible for him to act as if he didn't recognize her!
Liu Zhenzhen's thoughts fell into chaos.
But she knew in her heart that no matter what the origin of this "Jin Wancai" in front of her was, she had to be careful in how she dealt with him.
She pondered for a moment and finally decided—to play along with his scheme.
"Fine." She nodded slowly and agreed, "What do I need to do to break through to Foundation Establishment?"
The reason she agreed was not only because she guessed she might be able to take this opportunity to obtain another precious foundation establishment pill, thereby breaking through the Bottleneck.
More importantly, she wanted to take this opportunity to investigate and see what connection this "Jin Wancai" had with the previous male version of "Jin Wancai". Did this person now know about the various grievances between that person and herself, and even with Liu Meng?
"A smart choice." Seeing her agree, Jin Wancai immediately revealed a satisfied smile on his face, "Follow me."
He beckoned to Liu Zhenzhen, released an extremely luxurious spirit boat, and the two boarded it, quickly flying toward the direction of the Sancai Workshop.
Not long after, the spirit boat arrived at its destination.
It swept past the bustling market of pavilions, passed through the dim and oppressive workshop caves, and surprisingly did not stop, continuing to sink deeper into the endless darkness.
Liu Zhenzhen was increasingly surprised. She had always thought that these workshop caves were the lowest level of the Sancai Workshop, but she hadn't expected that there was another world beneath it!
It was unknown how much time had passed when the spirit boat finally landed on a layer of rock, and a magnificent building that was hard to describe with words suddenly came into her view!
It was a palace cast from black crystal stone, the scale of which was far greater than any pavilion on the surface.
The surface of the palace was carved with countless mysterious runes, and even in the darkness, it emitted a faint, eerie glow.
The spirit boat stopped in front of this palace.
The two stepped off the spirit boat, and Jin Wancai very naturally took Liu Zhenzhen's right hand, pulling her all the way into this mysterious palace.
Inside the palace, there was a whole new world; the two walked for a long time, passing through several winding corridors, but still had not reached their destination.
Seeing that they had not yet reached their destination, Liu Zhenzhen took the opportunity to ask: "Everyone wants to break through to Foundation Establishment, but not everyone can get their wish. You helping me break through, surely—it is not free, right? What do I need to do for you?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Wancai chuckled, his long, narrow eyes curving into crescents: "Don't be so distant. Let me ask you, do you know how to break through to Foundation Establishment?"
Liu Zhenzhen thought for a moment and replied: "The foundation establishment pill."
A flicker of imperceptible surprise flashed in Jin Wancai's eyes: "You actually know? Then, have you ever obtained a foundation establishment pill?"
Liu Zhenzhen shook her head.
Jin Wancai said with a chuckle again: "That's true. If you had already had the Medicinal Pill, you wouldn't need to come to me and go through all this trouble."
Liu Zhenzhen asked again: "So, do you have a foundation establishment pill here?"
"Here? Well—not yet." Jin Wancai's answer made Liu Zhenzhen's heart sink, "However, there will be one soon. By then, that freshly made foundation establishment pill will be yours."
Hearing this, Liu Zhenzhen felt more and more that something was wrong, but before she could think about it in detail, Jin Wancai had already stopped in front of a heavy stone door.
"The foundation establishment pill is inside." He pointed at the door and said with a smile, "Go in and get it yourself. Once you successfully break through to Foundation Establishment, come find me again."
The moment his words fell, Jin Wancai's figure, like a ghost, silently disappeared without a trace.
Liu Zhenzhen stood in place, looking at the tightly closed stone door in front of her, the unease in her heart growing heavier.
She slowly stretched out her hand, gently placing her palm against the cold stone door.
And at that very instant, alarm bells rang in her heart!
A coldness and palpitation, originating from the depths of her Divine Soul, suddenly spread throughout her entire body!
That cold and anomaly aura, she was extremely familiar with!
She instantly reacted—
Behind this door, there was definitely a anomaly locked up!
Not a anomaly that had been refined into a pill, but a—living anomaly!
That's right, this feeling was exactly the same as that "Nether-Blue Haired Old Woman"!
She pulled her hand back as if electrocuted, just about to retreat, but at this moment—
The door, at this moment, silently opened.
