I might have been playing a fake cultivation game.

Chapter 083: The Peak of Foundation Building

Zhou Yunshen was speechless when he saw the message Xiang Jiang posted in the group.

The government not only approached Chen Xin'an, but also Xiang Jiang, seeking to purchase cultivation resources from him.

Indeed, Chen Xin'an is the young master of a Golden Core family, and Xiang Jiang is also the young master of a Golden Core family. Although the Golden Core family behind Xiang Jiang is not very strong, with only one Golden Core ancestor, it is still a legitimate Golden Core family.

Buying resources from players in these Golden Core families is perfectly reasonable.

At this moment, Chen Xin'an tagged Zhou Yunshen in the group chat: "Yunshen, I don't even know what to say about your treatment, I'm so jealous!"

Zhou Yunshen didn't speak, mainly because he didn't know what to say.

Xiang Jiang: ???

Chen Xin'an tagged Xiang Jiang: "The government doesn't just buy cultivation resources from you, they buy them from me too. Do you know who the government buys these for?"

Xiang Jiang wasn't stupid; he realized what was going on at this moment: 'Could it be for Yun Shen?'

"Yes, it's for him. This first-grade spiritual root is really appealing. I reckon the government has made up its mind to groom Yun Shen as a promising talent."

Li Bin: "I'm genuinely envious."

Wang Chuchu: "I'm envious."

Chen Xin'an tagged Zhou Yunshen: "Yunshen, say something."

Zhou Yunshen typed helplessly: "What seeded player? It's not that exaggerated..."

……

An hour later, a soft knock came from Zhou Yunshen's gaming phone: "Young Master, someone from the Chen residence has brought a box."

That's Uncle Liu's voice.

Zhou Yunshen said, "Okay, just leave your things at the door."

"Yes, young master," Uncle Liu said respectfully.

Zhou Yunshen controlled his character to pause cultivation, opened the door, and picked up the box at the doorway.

Inside the box was a jade box. Upon opening the jade box, a medicinal herb resembling ginseng could be seen lying quietly inside, emitting a faint glow.

"Proroginseng, a top-grade spiritual plant, can be eaten raw or used in medicine, and is highly beneficial to cultivators." This is the test result given by the system.

Zhou Yunshen picked up his new phone, took a picture of the spiritual plant, and then uploaded it to the forum administrator to indicate that he had received the item.

A dozen minutes later, Uncle Liu knocked on the door again: "Young Master, the Xiang family has also sent someone to deliver a box."

Xiang Jiang also sent something over, which was also a spiritual plant.

Zhou Yunshen cultivated in the Xuan Yuan World for more than two months and finally got to eat some fine food.

Sure enough, after consuming these spiritual plants, his cultivation speed did indeed increase significantly.

Eating the spiritual plants sent by the Chen family increased his cultivation speed by about five times.

After consuming the spiritual plants sent by the Xiang family, his cultivation speed increased by about three times.

The effects don't last very long, only about a day. Once the effects wear off, the cultivation speed slows down.

It has to be said that with the government's support, cultivation is truly comfortable.

In the following period, the government's supply of spiritual plants and elixirs never stopped.

Every day, spiritual plants and elixirs are delivered in a steady stream.

It wasn't just the Chen and Xiang families of Luchuan Prefecture; the entire Qingzhou Road, and even the entire Xuannan Kingdom, all the Golden Core families with players were sending resources to the courtyard where Zhou Yunshen lived.

Of course, the government wouldn't be so obvious as to allow these Golden Core families to send things directly to Zhou Yun Shen.

The government arranged transit stations, just like express delivery transit stations.

Then the Foundation Establishment players will deliver the items together.

The spirit-gathering array in Zhou Yunshen's room was also replaced with a higher-level one, which greatly improved the effect of gathering spiritual energy.

With such an abundant supply of cultivation resources, Zhou Yunshen no longer thought about saving them. He devoured spiritual plants and pills, continuing to consume them as soon as their effects wore off.

This treatment is something that even the core members of Nascent Soul families probably can't match, let alone the disciples of Golden Core families.

Under these circumstances, Zhou Yunshen's cultivation progress was like a rocket, skyrocketing.

On September 30, 2026, Zhou Yunshen broke through, advancing from the late stage of Foundation Establishment to the perfect stage of Foundation Establishment.

Unsurprisingly, Zhou Yunshen was the first player to break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.

It took him a little over a month to cultivate from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the late-Foundation Establishment stage.

It only took 18 days to go from the late stage of Foundation Establishment to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Under normal circumstances, it is more difficult and takes longer to cultivate from the late stage of Foundation Establishment to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

But it only took 18 days.

All I can say is, it's good to be rich, or rather, it's good to have resources.

Having money alone is not enough; you also need the government's terrifying ability to mobilize resources.

When the cultivation level breaks through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, the breakthrough option reappears in the Xuan Yuan Invasion game interface.

Zhou Yunshen did not click on the breakthrough option because once the breakthrough option was clicked, the breakthrough process would begin, and this process was irreversible. If it was forcibly terminated, the person attempting the breakthrough would suffer severe backlash.

Zhou Yunshen opened his character attribute panel, then took a picture with his new phone and sent it to the forum administrator.

The forum administrator quickly replied: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Yunshen: "I've already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. Has the government's plan to make me stronger been completed yet?"

His cultivation level has now reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and he can no longer advance. From now on, he can only improve in other aspects.

This time, it took the administrator over a minute to reply: "This is a customized strengthening plan provided to you by the government, Mr. Zhou. Please accept it."

Then, the administrator sent over a document.

Zhou Yunshen clicked on it and found it contained dense text, images, and tables.

Zhou Yunshen composed himself and began to carefully read the contents of the document.

They spent more than an hour looking at it.

After reading it, Zhou Yunshen's face showed an expression of amazement, thinking to himself, "I never imagined that besides cultivation level, there were so many other ways to become stronger."

"It turns out that cultivation techniques aren't limited to just one. As long as one has enough talent, one can cultivate other Heavenly Rank techniques and even condense a new Dao Foundation. The government has already secretly tested this, but hasn't made it public."

"It turns out that some rare treasures of heaven and earth can be used to enhance the strength of one's soul. However, these treasures are far more precious than ordinary spiritual fruits and pills. Even the current government can only acquire a very small quantity at a great cost."

"It turns out that on the distant edge of the Xuan Yuan Continent, there exists a force called the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion. This force possesses the method to allow cultivators to nurture their natal spiritual treasures while still in the Foundation Establishment stage."

"It turns out that deep within the Abyss Sea to the east of the Xuan Yuan Continent, there exists a sect called the Divine Dragon Sect, which possesses the method to forcibly fuse with the bloodlines of demonic beasts and obtain their power..."

The contents of this document truly broadened Zhou Yunshen's horizons.

If we compare players to transmigrators who travel to the Xuan Yuan world, then the current situation in the Earth world is called "mass transmigration".

Moreover, the players who passed through were like scattered grains of sand, evenly distributed throughout the Xuan Yuan World.

The advantage of this is that information from all over Xuan Yuan can be gathered by players and sent to the government's intelligence processing agency.

For example, the Heavenly Soldiers Pavilion possesses a secret method that allows cultivators to have a natal spiritual treasure while still in the Foundation Establishment stage. If a player is traveling alone, unless their spawn point is very close to the Heavenly Soldiers Pavilion, how could they possibly know about this?

The same applies to matters concerning the Divine Dragon Sect.
