Chapter 19: Reunion in Chen Kingdom
Ten years have passed, and Lin Dong has not changed much; his cultivation level has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.
It's nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary.
Fairy Qin Yao was particularly surprising.
Although her aura was fluctuating and she had not yet been able to control it freely, it was clear that she had only recently broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
It still feels unbelievable.
It should be noted that Qin Yao is only thirty years old now, and she wasted several years of her childhood in the secular world.
This cultivation speed is so fast that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a top-grade spiritual root.
Fang Yun looked at her, then at his own jar of poisonous pills.
It seems like all those years of taking those elixirs were for nothing.
Qin Yao possessed profound magical powers, making her even more adept at organizing the Spirit Testing Conference.
Yuzhang County was quite lucky this year, producing six outstanding talents.
Four boys and two girls, all brimming with youthful energy.
These immortal seedlings are still kept in the Marquis's residence. The former Marquis of Wu'an has aged, with some gray hair showing at his temples.
Tianxianglou.
The five people took their seats in the same positions as before.
Although the friendship remains, there is now a sense of silence and estrangement.
"Fairy Qin... Congratulations on breaking through to the ninth level of your cultivation realm. Foundation Establishment is in sight, and the path to immortality is within reach."
Fang Yun spoke first, breaking the silence, and sincerely offered his congratulations.
If the other party can successfully establish a foundation, it will also bring him countless benefits.
Upon hearing this, Lu Guishou and Niu Ben were first startled, and then they realized what was happening.
Their cultivation levels were too low; they only knew that Qin Yao was very powerful, but they couldn't sense the specific level she was at.
Lu Guishou's face lit up with undisguised joy.
"Congratulations to the young marquis on reaching the late stage of Qi Refining. Even among the thousands of disciples of the Green Wood Sect, you have successfully entered the inner sect for cultivation."
Qin Yao's tone remained gentle and pleasant, without any intention of hiding anything: "My rapid progress is not only due to the cultivation of my sect, but also because I awakened a bloodline spirit body."
"A spirit?"
Fang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but prick up his ears, having never heard of this thing before.
"This refers to various special physiques in the cultivation world. Even the lowest-grade spiritual body is equivalent to having an extra mid-grade spiritual root."
Not only were Fang Yun and the other two stunned, but Lin Dong, who was standing next to them, was also dumbfounded. It was the first time he had ever heard of this secret.
"With my master's help over the years, although I have awakened part of my constitution, I still haven't been able to figure out exactly what kind of spirit it is."
"Perhaps only after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage will we be able to unlock more of its potential."
Qin Yao parted her red lips slightly, couldn't help but shake her head, her expression carrying a hint of regret and anticipation.
It took everyone about half a cup of tea to process the news, and they still couldn't help but marvel at it.
The world is truly full of wonders, and contains the great power of creation everywhere.
Unfortunately, spirits are always deeply hidden, and even a Golden Core cultivator might not be able to recognize them in person.
Their numbers are extremely rare, comparable to the legendary Earth Spirit Root and Heaven Spirit Root.
Fang Yun opened a jar of spirit wine, and the five of them drank heartily, chatting and laughing.
The awkwardness of not seeing each other for many years gradually dissipated, and the banquet became lively again.
However, no matter what topic is discussed, it will eventually return to the focus on Fairy Qin Yao.
Ten years ago, Qin Yao had said that she wanted everyone to help her cultivate and accumulate resources to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills for the sect.
Now is the time to fulfill that promise.
Fang Yun and San Niuzi had no problem with it; they had already prepared themselves mentally before setting off.
Lu Guishou, this war wolf, even took the initiative to propose it, eager to try it out.
As a disciple of the Azure Wood Immortal Sect, Qin Yao can enjoy a 50% discount on her first Foundation Establishment Pill exchange.
Only 10,000 low-grade spirit stones are needed.
Lu Guishou lent out four hundred coins, which could be considered his entire fortune.
Fang Yun himself was astonished; he was afraid he would have to sell everything he owned.
He pondered for a moment, then took out exactly four hundred spirit stones, no more, no less.
For the first time, a serious expression appeared on Niu Ben's usually honest and simple face, with a hint of solemnity.
After weighing his options, he gritted his teeth and took out two hundred spirit stones in one go.
That makes it a round number.
A full thousand low-grade spirit stones were piled up in front of her, and even someone as calm as Qin Yao couldn't help but show a lot of surprise in her eyes.
"Brother Lu, Young Master, San Niuzi... I will never thank you enough. I will not let you down."
Qin Yao solemnly promised, writing down IOUs one by one, imprinting them with her magical aura, her beautiful eyes more determined than ever before.
In addition, the three of them took on an extra mission to find precious medicines and accumulate sect contribution points for her.
Yes, it was Lu Guishou who requested it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Yun thought of his foundation-building technique and began to inquire about the Wooden Armor Technique.
"Yi Wood Azure Armor Technique? I have a fire elemental root and am not very familiar with the sect's wood elemental techniques. Junior Brother Lin should know more about them..."
Qin Yao looked to the side.
Upon hearing this name, Lin Dong's expression turned somewhat strange: "Young Marquis, I never expected you to be practicing this cultivation technique..."
He didn't hide anything and told everything he knew in detail.
The Yi Mu Qing Jia Gong is quite famous in the Qing Mu Sect, and it turns out to be a technique practiced by the sect's guardian soldiers.
Only outer disciples who lack talent and have no hope of progress.
Only then will they actively choose to cultivate, which also has the effect of body refinement.
Once you have mastered the cultivation, you can join the Azure Armor Army to guard the mountain gate and fight alongside them.
They're called "Dao Bing" (道兵) to put it nicely, but in essence, they're just cannon fodder.
Fang Yun remained calm, only concerned with whether he could obtain the subsequent scriptures.
The records of the Wooden Armor Technique from the Fang family only contain the complete chapter on Qi Refining.
"At a considerable cost, by allowing the Elder of the Scripture Pavilion to place a restriction and swearing never to divulge it, we should be able to obtain the first part of the Foundation Establishment of the Wooden Armor Technique..."
After pondering for a while, Lin Dong gave an answer that he could not guarantee.
Fang Yun was already satisfied upon hearing this.
As dawn broke, the table was once again a mess of cups and goblets, and the guests were having a great time.
They all tacitly agreed not to mention their next reunion.
Even Lu Guishou was the same.
Whether it's ten or twenty years, it all depends on Qin Yao's own future.
It's either failure or success!
Qin Yao and Lin Dong departed in their flying boat, leaving behind a Three Talents Battle Formation, sufficient for cultivators to use at any time.
"Going deep into the demon mountain to find precious herbs? How dare you even say that, kid!"
Fang Yun fiddled with the array plate in his hand, glanced at someone, and pretended to be a little angry.
Although he could reincarnate a hundred times, he lived a comfortable and fulfilling life in this one, but he didn't want to get involved in too many dangerous situations and die young.
Unfortunately, he spoke too quickly, and there was no time to stop him. It was also difficult to go back on his word in front of Qin Yao.
"Young Master, Brother Fang!"
"I called you elder brother, so please forgive your younger brother this time."
Lu Guishou chuckled and took the initiative to humble himself, never having seen him so shameless.
He rarely encountered beautiful women, and in the end, it ruined his life.
Having no other choice, Fang Yun had to agree to help, and together with Lu Guishou and San Niuzi, they went into the mountains to hunt demons and search for medicine.
Consider it a chance to hone your combat skills.
For the next six months, he relied on the Three Talents Formation Plate in his hands.
Fang Yun and his group ventured into the mountains and forests many times, hunting down several late-stage Qi Refining demonic beasts, and finally found a sufficient quantity of precious herbs.
Finally, they went to the Green Wood Sect and had Qin Yao exchange all of them for contribution points.
In the blink of an eye, spring has passed and autumn has come; another five years have gone by.
