Even though they were in the sa cave mansion, Ling Xiaobai hadn’t seen Chu Ning for nearly a month.
The little fellow, ever since getting injured, mainly slept upon returning to the cave mansion.
Chu Ning highly suspected that the more it slept, the faster it cultivated.
"Ying!"
At first sight of Chu Ning, Ling Xiaobai let out a surprised cry.
With its keen sense of aura, it naturally sensed the change in Chu Ning’s strength imdiately.
"I’ve successfully reached the Foundation Establishnt!"
Seeing Ling Xiaobai’s reaction, Chu Ning said with a grin.
"Little one, you must work hard too. If you don’t advance to a Tier Two Demon Beast soon, you’ll be left far behind by ."
"Ying!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaobai imdiately let out a sound of grievance.
Having ford a Life Contract with Ling Xiaobai, Chu Ning could quickly sense its thoughts.
At that mont, he imdiately understood Ling Xiaobai’s aning.
"You an, if you hadn’t been injured, you would have broken through by now too?"
Chu Ning spoke, his face showing a hint of guilt:
"I’ve been focusing on my Foundation Establishnt lately, and haven’t practiced the Profound Fate Technique with you, delaying your recovery."
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Ling Xiaobai ca over and affectionately rubbed against his feet.
Chu Ning, in turn, picked up the little fellow in his arms.
"Co on, let’s go out for a while, and I’ll train with you when we return.
Now that I’m in the Foundation Establishnt Stage, I should be able to provide you with better healing.
It’s a pity you ntioned that the Celestial Essence Grass can only be consud once; otherwise, with a few more, you could recover faster."
Saying this, Chu Ning placed Ling Xiaobai into the Spirit Beast Bag and left the cave mansion directly.
At this mont, Chu Ning no longer bothered changing his appearance or hiding his aura.
Among the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, while Foundation Establishnt Cultivators don’t have free rein, their status is certainly higher than that of ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators.
Since he had successfully reached the Foundation Establishnt, Chu Ning saw no need to continue hiding.
As long as he didn’t easily expose his life-saving thods, that was enough.
He flew straight to the Teleportation Array.
The Teleportation Arrays of each island are managed by the Thousand Islands Alliance, with all proceeds belonging to the Alliance.
Therefore, the person guarding the Teleportation Array didn’t recognize Chu Ning.
However, while they didn’t recognize the man, they certainly recognized the unique pressure of a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator emanating from him.
This cultivator, around forty years of age and at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, was stunned upon seeing Chu Ning.
He quickly reacted, bowing with respect:
"Greetings, senior. Where would you like to teleport to? I’ll arrange it imdiately."
"Thousand Illusion Island." Chu Ning replied, taking ten Lower Grade Spirit Stones out from his Storage Bag.
"This is the teleportation fee."
Seeing this, the middle-aged cultivator quickly displayed a peculiar expression, hastily saying:
"Senior, you must be joking. Foundation Establishnt Cultivators in these Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands do not need to pay a teleportation fee."
"Oh, really?" Chu Ning responded, putting the Spirit Stones back.
He had just broken through and was unaware of this rule.
"Could it be that this senior has just advanced to Foundation Establishnt? But there’s no cultivator of this level within Feihong Island.
It seems very possible that he’s from sowhere else and has just arrived in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands.
But why did he co directly to Feihong Island? Strange indeed.
The middle-aged cultivator was internally full of doubts but didn’t dare voice them.
He quickly activated the Teleportation Array.
In no ti, Chu Ning was teleported out under the respectful gazes of two Qi Refining Cultivators at the Thousand Illusion Island teleportation array, and he headed straight for the Cen Workshop.
At this mont, Chu Ning could clearly feel the distinct change in status as a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
The Qi Refining Cultivators he encountered on the road were all exceedingly respectful towards him.
It’s no exaggeration to say that even the paths he walked were cleared for him.
"It seems that in these Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, the lack of top-level powers and cultivators ans that the status of a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator is indeed very high. My previous limited interactions with the outside didn’t let feel it.
Now that I’ve broken through to Foundation Establishnt, this experience is imdiately noticeable."
With these thoughts, Chu Ning walked straight into the Cen Workshop.
Inside the shop, a few clerks exchanged glances upon seeing Chu Ning enter, their faces showing a hint of surprise.
Finally, one Qi Refining Seventh Layer clerk stepped forward to greet him.
"Welco, senior, to the Cen Workshop. What might this senior be looking to purchase?"
Chu Ning looked at the unfamiliar faces of the clerks, finally focusing on the one who seed to be in charge.
"Take to see your shopkeeper!"
Although Cen Zijin had previously instructed him to notify the contact on Colorful Mist Island after leaving seclusion,
she would co to Feihong Island.
Since he had reached Foundation Establishnt, there was no need to hide overly.
It was rely a eting with Cen Zijin. If he didn’t even dare do that, then there was no point in pursuing his path.
Upon hearing Chu Ning, the clerk wasn’t upset in the least.
Instead, he responded respectfully, "Certainly, please follow , senior!"
This clerk didn’t even ntion going ahead to inform soone first.
Clearly, they dared not neglect a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator’s visit.
Chu Ning followed the clerk up to the third floor, quietly amused.
He was sure that he would surprise Cen Zijin next.
Previously, he had only told her that he would be refining a batch of pills over the next two to three months,
and attempt Foundation Establishnt within six months.
Now, seeing him successfully reach Foundation Establishnt directly would likely astonish her greatly.
They reached the tearoom from earlier. The clerk invited Chu Ning to wait outside, while he himself entered the tearoom.
Presumably, without prior notice, he now needed to report to Cen Zijin.
