I Have an Omen System-Chapter 47 - 46: Fruit Position Spirit Treasure

Foundation Establishment is divided into three types, ranked by strength.

They are Human Dao Foundation Establishment, Earth Dao Foundation Establishment, and Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment.

It was then that Qin Xuan finally understood everything.

’Outer Sect Elder Sun Yuan and Vice Incense Master Zheng Qi are both at Foundation Establishment, but the gap between them is huge. The reason is that one achieved Human Dao Foundation Establishment, and the other, Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment!’

Human Dao Foundation Establishment is the simplest. A cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer can attempt to break through after consuming a Foundation Establishment Pill. However, its potential is the lowest; one could only reach the Purple Mansion realm at best in their lifetime.

In the Blood Demon Sword Sect, such a person is only fit to be an Outer Sect Elder, lacking the qualifications to enter the Inner Sect and become an Incense Master.

Earth Dao Foundation Establishment, on the other hand, requires a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object of at least one of the Five Elements as an aid.

Unlike with Human Dao Foundation Establishment, after a cultivator consumes the Spiritual Object for Earth Dao Foundation Establishment, their cultivation at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer will continue to advance. They won’t break through until they reach the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer.

’This Fiery Blood Ginseng is the Fire Attribute Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object naturally nurtured within the Bronze Lamp!’

As for Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment, it is the most difficult. It requires cultivating Positional Divine Techniques and practicing all the way to the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer!

Zheng Qi achieved Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment by guarding the Scripture Pavilion for eleven years, which allowed him to obtain the Yin Fire Divine Power Position, Netherworld Flame, and break through.

And without exception, all the Inner Sect Incense Masters of the Blood Demon Sword Sect are Demons who have achieved Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment!

At the same realm, Zheng Qi could take on eight Human Dao Foundation Establishment cultivators like Sun Yuan with one hand tied behind his back.

’Damn it, no wonder those Incense Masters are all so arrogant. It turns out they really have something to be proud of.’

Qin Xuan sucked in a sharp breath, a dull ache throbbing in his teeth.

It was only in a place like the Blood Demon Sword Sect, with a Divinity Transformation expert presiding over it, that Positional Divine Techniques seemed to be given away for free, with every Incense Master possessing one.

In the Blazing Fire Sect, which only had two Purple Mansion Daoists, a Positional Divine Technique would be worth an absolute fortune!

The entire Blazing Fire Sect had a mere thirteen people qualified to cultivate Positional Divine Techniques for Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment, and Chen Xuanba killed them all in one fell swoop.

Qin Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.

’Profound Fire Daoist and the Blazing Fire Sect’s ancestor were a couple of fools. The Cyan Cloud Sect fed them a few lines, and they actually bought it. Now, Master Demon Child has annihilated their entire Sect, and not a single person from the Cyan Cloud Sect has popped up to help—not even a Golden Core True Monarch!’

After carefully stowing away the *Flaming Golden Manual*, Qin Xuan meticulously erased any traces he might have left.

He only felt at ease enough to leave once it looked as if no one had ever been there.

Before leaving, Qin Xuan cast a reluctant glance at the towering Bronze Lamp.

’This is a real treasure! According to the Golden Book and Jade Manual, this Bronze Lamp is a projected Fruit Position Spirit Treasure, created by the reflection of the Divinity Transformation Fruit Position known as Covered Lamp Fire. It possesses an indescribable might!’

’Too bad I can’t take it with me...’

Wait a minute. As the only cultivator in possession of both the *Blazing Heart Scripture* and the *Flaming Golden Manual*, Qin Xuan suddenly realized something.

’Holy shit, I’ve become the legitimate successor of the Blazing Fire Sect!’

...

Meanwhile, the once-sturdy and magnificent mountain gate of the Blazing Fire Sect now lay in ruins.

Broken stone pillars leaned against the rubble. The roaring flames had been extinguished, green bricks and black tiles were reduced to dust, and the once ornately carved halls were now nothing but charred wood and shattered beams.

Several Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators led a large group of Demon Disciples, sweeping through the area like a plague of locusts. They scoured every corner, taking anything they could and destroying whatever they couldn’t carry.

Their movements were incredibly practiced. Clearly, this wasn’t their first time doing something like this.

Qin Xuan also snuck over, trailing behind them to pick up any scraps.

As he walked, Qin Xuan noticed the rich aroma of herbs filling the air. Lush green vines and Spiritual Plants were everywhere.

He didn’t need to guess to know that this must have been the Blazing Fire Sect’s Spirit Medicine Garden.

However, after being swept by Chen Xuanba’s rampaging Demon Origin Sword Qi, the entire Spirit Medicine Garden was a complete wreck. Aside from a few scattered low-level Spirit Grasses in the corners, almost no intact Spiritual Plants remained.

’No, the Spiritual Plants here weren’t destroyed. They were hastily harvested and taken away before this!’

Qin Xuan’s eyes darkened as he noticed that the Spiritual Soil showed signs of having been recently disturbed.

’Inside the Blazing Fire Sect, someone knew long ago that Chen Xuanba was coming and swept away all the valuable things in advance!’

Just then, the words of another black-robed Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator who was passing by and searching confirmed Qin Xuan’s suspicion.

The man was heard muttering to himself, "Strange. In the past, when we overran Righteous Sects, we’d find countless treasures. Why is there so little this time? It’s like they packed up and moved out beforehand."

This black-robed Demon Cultivator had a slender frame and a shock of fiery red hair that was incredibly conspicuous, as crimson as a bleeding sunset.

The black robe he wore was also different from that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator. It was embroidered with various patterns of bloodthirsty phantasms, which gave off a cold, spectral glow and seemed as mysteriously unpredictable as living creatures.

Qin Xuan could tell at a glance that this person’s status in the Blood Demon Sword Sect was undoubtedly very high.

’Maybe he’s the disciple of some high-ranking member!’

Just as Qin Xuan was wondering about the man’s identity, a figure suddenly shot out from the ruins. It was a surviving middle-aged Foundation Establishment Daoist from the Blazing Fire Sect.

"Sinful Demon, prepare to die!" the middle-aged Daoist roared.

The red-haired Demon Cultivator didn’t even raise his head. With a backhanded flick of his Lifebound Longsword, the middle-aged Foundation Establishment Daoist from the Blazing Fire Sect was pinned to the spot, dead before he hit the ground!

His qi and blood were instantly sucked dry, leaving behind a shriveled, skin-and-bones corpse.

A chill went down Qin Xuan’s spine, and he swallowed hard.

’So strong...’

’...A casual strike, and he’d killed a fellow Foundation Establishment Cultivator, pinning the middle-aged Daoist to the spot!’

Qin Xuan noticed that two-tenths of the red-haired Demon Cultivator’s Lifebound Longsword had turned from silver-white to golden-yellow, indicating his realm was only around the Second-Layer Foundation Establishment.

After retracting his Lifebound Longsword, the man straightened the wide belt fastened around his waist, which was inlaid with a Nether Iron Skull.

Only then did the red-haired Demon Cultivator notice Qin Xuan. He frowned slightly. "And who are you?"

"I am Qin Xuan."

For some reason, as soon as the red-haired Demon Cultivator heard Qin Xuan’s name, his attitude instantly turned warm and enthusiastic.

He excitedly grasped both of Qin Xuan’s hands, as if they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other in ages.

"Ah, so you’re Junior Brother Qin! My name is Ji Boying. My elder brother mentions you often!"

Qin Xuan was a little bewildered by Ji Boying’s sudden burst of enthusiasm.

He gave a sheepish smile. "Hello, Senior Brother Ji."

Ji Boying kept a firm grip on Qin Xuan’s hand, refusing to let go. "Junior Brother Qin, you are truly a man of great talent. I, Ji, felt an instant kinship with you."

Regardless of whether Qin Xuan was willing, Ji Boying pulled him aside, his enthusiasm overwhelming.

He simply refused to let Qin Xuan out of his sight.

「About an hour later.」

A Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator, sweating profusely, walked over with an account book in his hand.

"Master Ji, the inventory is complete."

Ji Boying cleared his throat, finally releasing his grip on Qin Xuan. "Oh? Bring it here and let me see."

"Yes, sir!"

The Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator respectfully presented the account book with both hands.

"Master Ji, after my inventory, the Blazing Fire Sect had a total of 118,000 low-grade spirit stones, three hundred assorted Spirit Pills, and various Magical Treasure Weapons."

’One hundred and ten thousand...’

Qin Xuan looked up, eyeing the Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator with suspicion.

Unlike the Demon Cultivators of the Bloodthirsty-practicing Blood Demon Sword Sect, who could manage with or without Spirit Stones...

...for Righteous Cultivators who breathed in Spiritual Qi to accumulate True Essence, Spirit Stones were an essential resource for cultivation. They were also the universal currency for all cultivators in the world... 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

’How could a sect as large as the Blazing Fire Sect possibly have only 110,000 low-grade spirit stones?’

’But that doesn’t add up,’ he thought. ’Even though they’re both at Foundation Establishment, this Demon Cultivator is extremely respectful toward Ji Boying, acting as if he’d follow his every command. He doesn’t look like he’s lying.’

Who could have guessed that Ji Boying’s words in the next moment would shock Qin Xuan even more.

"What? So few? Only ten thousand low-grade spirit stones?"

"Well played, Blazing Fire Sect. Well played, Cyan Cloud Sect. To think they’d move their assets and treasures ahead of time!"

Ji Boying was seething with indignation. A brush pen had appeared in his hand from out of nowhere. He licked the ink on its tip and used it to erase the character for "ten" from the number at the top of the ledger.

He didn’t forget to stuff a Storage Pouch into Qin Xuan’s hand.

Ji Boying declared, filled with righteous indignation, "Junior Brother Qin, when we get back, we absolutely must report this to the Sect. Otherwise, the Sect might misunderstand and think we’re lining our own pockets!"

’Holy shit, so that’s how they play this game.’

It was a real eye-opener for Qin Xuan. He finally understood why Ji Boying had been so friendly.

At the same time, another Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator flew over.

"Master Ji, we’ve found the Blazing Fire Sect’s legacy ground—the Heart-Burning Fire Valley."

"Inside is a projected Fruit Position Spirit Treasure, the Heart-Burning Lamp, as well as a blood-colored skeleton suspected to be the Blazing Fire Sect’s founder!"

Qin Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.
