Foundation Establishnt was too difficult. In the end, very few ever succeeded.
’Return to the Cyan Cloud Sect?’
Li Chang’an was sowhat tempted by Su Yuyan’s suggestion.
The scene of him being turned away at the gates surfaced in his mind once again.
Back then, he had overco countless trials and tribulations, braving innurable dangers to finally reach the legendary Immortal Sect.
But he had been cruelly turned away at the gates, and his composure had nearly shattered.
However, that was all in the past.
Now, he no longer yearned for the Major Sects as he once had.
"Yuyan, let’s just forget it."
Li Chang’an shook his head slightly, rejecting Su Yuyan’s proposal.
After all, the Cyan Cloud Sect had a Golden Core Ancestor.
Cultivating under the watchful eye of such a powerful figure would always make him feel uneasy.
Furthermore, his feud with Cao Shaolong was not yet settled, and Cao Shaolong was also a mber of the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Thinking of this, Li Chang’an glanced at Su Yuyan.
He had once heard from Jiang Yuerong.
Su Yuyan had many suitors within the Sect, including quite a few Foundation Establishnt Powerhouses.
If Li Chang’an went to the Cyan Cloud Sect and maintained a close relationship with Su Yuyan, he would likely beco a public enemy, targeted by countless people.
He just wanted to cultivate in peace, not constantly be caught up in fighting and killing.
"Brother Li, do you really not want to go?"
"Mm."
Hearing this, Su Yuyan’s expression imdiately fell.
Zheng Qingqing said gently, "Chang’an, since you’re unwilling to stay in Yellow Crane Immortal City and don’t want to go to the Cyan Cloud Sect, how about going to the Wu Clan Territory to oversee things?"
’The Wu Clan Territory?’
Li Chang’an pondered this; he had considered this option long ago.
But the Spirit Vein at the Wu Clan Territory was only a Tier Two Low Grade. Once his cultivation reached the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishnt, he would have to move again.
Besides, the Wu Clan Territory was too far from any major Marketplace or Immortal City.
There were few opportunities nearby, making it inconvenient for bargain hunting and trading.
"Young Mistress, let think about it so more. If I really can’t find a suitable place, I’ll go oversee the Wu Clan Territory."
Li Chang’an replied.
He planned to first look around the nearby region to see if there were any suitable Tier Two Spirit Veins.
Su Yuyan suddenly said, "Brother Li, the Cyan Cloud Sect has so rentable Tier Two Spirit Veins in this region. Most of them are already leased out, but I’ll ask around for you later. Maybe there’s one left."
"Alright then. Thank you for your trouble, Yuyan."
"It’s nothing."
Su Yuyan smiled faintly. She didn’t feel troubled at all; on the contrary, she was quite happy.
She hadn’t been able to help much with his Foundation Establishnt—even the Foundation Establishnt Pill had been refined by Zheng Qingqing for Li Chang’an. It was for the best that she could finally be of so assistance.
Just as they were speaking, a visitor suddenly arrived at the gate.
"Brother Li, are you ho? It’s , Fugui."
Hearing this, Li Chang’an smiled, stood up, and went to open the gate.
"Fugui, co on in."
"Brother Li, the aura of the person who reached Foundation Establishnt today felt a bit like yours, so I wanted to co and ask..."
Before he could finish, Li Chang’an smiled and nodded.
"It was ."
"It really was you!"
Xu Fugui’s eyes went wide, his expression a perfect picture of soone utterly dumbstruck.
He seed petrified, standing frozen at the entrance with his mind a complete blank.
Li Chang’an had to call his na with a smile several tis.
Only then did he snap out of it.
"Brother Li, how did you reach Foundation Establishnt so quietly? I thought you had just broken through to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer."
His eyes wide, he sized Li Chang’an up and down several tis.
It was as if he wanted to see what changes ca with breaking through to Foundation Establishnt.
However, Li Chang’an still looked no different than before, without even a hint of a suppressive aura about him.
"Stop staring. Foundation Establishnt is just a little stronger than Qi Refining. There’s not much difference."
He laughed and pulled Xu Fugui into the courtyard, then closed the gate.
Only then did Xu Fugui notice there were other people in the courtyard.
"Young Mistress, Daoist Su, you’re here too."
"Yes, Fugui, co have a seat!"
Zheng Qingqing chuckled, beckoning him over.
Su Yuyan also wore a smile, not looking down on Xu Fugui just because he was at the Qi Refining stage.
They were old friends who had known each other for years, having walked the arduous path of seeking immortality together.
"If I had known you were all here, I would have brought more Spiritual Cuisine."
As he spoke, Xu Fugui took out more than ten exquisite portions of Spiritual Cuisine from his Storage Pouch.
A rich fragrance wafted out, instantly filling the entire courtyard.
Li Chang’an smiled. "This is more than enough. Have a seat first."
Afterward, the four of them sat around the stone table in the courtyard.
They talked about cultivation at one mont and reminisced about the past the next.
During their conversation, Li Chang’an shared his insights on Foundation Establishnt with Xu Fugui.
He could tell that Xu Fugui was about to break through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
At this rate, he had a good chance of reaching Foundation Establishnt before he turned sixty!
That Senior Wang Fu’an was very fond of Xu Fugui and would surely prepare a top-quality Foundation Establishnt Treasure for him.
Before long, Chu Daniu arrived as well.
He brought plenty of Spirit Wine.
"Young Mistress, Daoist Su, and Fugui, I guessed you all would be here, so I brought so extra wine."
He scratched his head with a grin.
Li Chang’an picked up a jar of Spirit Wine, unsealed it, and took a sniff.
"Huh? Big Bull, have your Spirit Wine brewing Skills advanced to Tier Two?"
"I just advanced not long ago."
"Excellent! Co, sit down!"
A mont later, Li Chang’an also shared his own insights on Foundation Establishnt with Chu Daniu.
The master behind Chu Daniu didn’t seem to be an ordinary Foundation Establishnt cultivator; his strength and background were both formidable.
Chu Daniu had already surpassed Xu Fugui by breaking through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer and was currently accumulating Magical Power.
With such a cultivation level, he should have been happy.
But for so reason, there was always a faint trace of worry between his brows.
「Ti flew by.」
Before they knew it, it was the middle of the night.
Chu Daniu was already drunk and finally started telling Li Chang’an about his master.
"Brother Li, my master... he might make a move against Huang He Master. I’m worried he’s no match for him."
"Hm?"
Li Chang’an was startled.
He imdiately circulated his Cultivation Technique to dispel all effects of the alcohol and sober up completely.
"Big Bull, is your master a Golden Core Master?"
He asked via Sound Transmission while pushing the four-layered Grand Array to its limit, completely isolating the courtyard from the outside world.
Chu Daniu replied worriedly, "Yes, my master has a Golden Core Cultivation, but he reached Core Formation much later, so his Magical Power can’t compare to Huang He Master’s. I’ve tried to persuade him many tis, but he’s insisted on making a move."
"Why is that?"
Li Chang’an asked covertly.
Chu Daniu replied in his drunken stupor.
His master and Huang He Master were once sworn brothers, but when faced with an opportunity related to the Golden Core, Huang He Master launched a sneak attack on him from behind.
"My master was gravely injured and had no choice but to flee into the depths of a Secret Realm, where he was trapped for over two hundred years."
Now that he had returned, he was naturally seeking revenge.
But his master was all alone.
Huang He Master was not.
He had a Tier Three Spiritual Crane, his head disciple was also a Golden Core, and his second disciple had a Fake Pill.
Against such a lineup, if Chu Daniu’s master went, he would most likely never return!
"Sigh..."
Chu Daniu let out a deep sigh, his face filled with sorrow.
"Master said that once I achieve Foundation Establishnt Success, he will go seek revenge on Huang He Master."
At this, he chugged a mouthful of Spirit Wine, his drunkenness deepening.
"Brother Li, I don’t want to reach Foundation Establishnt anymore. I just want my master to live."
