According to the Flying Sword Communication, Xuu ngyuan learned that Song Minghui’s current cultivation level has also reached the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
Therefore, in Xuu ngyuan’s imagination, Song Minghui is definitely a candidate for competing for this Foundation Establishnt Pill.
As for whether others are eligible to participate in the competition, Xuu ngyuan is not clear about it.
Having stayed in Guangde County for a long ti, without leaving, Xuu ngyuan is not well-inford about the strength of the disciples within the Cyan Mountain Sect, not even knowing the specific cultivation level of the three siblings of Lu Yuanshan, or what stage of Foundation Establishnt they have reached.
As a result, he does not quite understand why this Foundation Establishnt Pill is not being considered for Song Minghui.
"Hehe, little Ming Hui, she is very considerate of others."
Seeing Xuu ngyuan’s confusion, Lu Yuanshan couldn’t resist making a joke.
"What, Elder Xuu, are you worried that you can’t compete with Song Minghui and won’t get the Foundation Establishnt Pill?"
"Do you lack confidence in yourself?"
This question truly stumped Xuu ngyuan, causing him to chuckle bitterly twice.
"I am over a hundred years old, how could my physique be as strong as those of junior Ming Hui’s generation."
"Besides, this Foundation Establishnt Pill should rightly be used first for the sect’s younger generation to ensure that their future cultivation paths could be longer and further than mine. I have delayed my Foundation Establishnt by several decades."
"Alas, if it were another cultivator of my age, most would likely have reached the Crystallization Stage by now."
Saying this, Xuu ngyuan shook his head, lanting the decades of pri ti he had wasted.
Looking at Lu Yuanshan, who is only fifty years old yet has already achieved late-stage Foundation Establishnt, while he himself, at the mature age of one hundred twenty, is still stuck in the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Seeing Xuu ngyuan in such a state, Lu Yuanshan showed a faint smile, offering a gentle consolation: "Elder Xuu, do not underestimate yourself. The winding path of immortality and the long road to longevity have never been easy; do not asure your future by age alone."
"Flowing water does not compete for the first; it strives for an endless flow."
"We should cultivate a tranquil heart in our path to immortality, undisturbed by the passing years."
Upon hearing Lu Yuanshan’s words, Xuu ngyuan fell silent briefly, realizing the profound aning in Lu Yuanshan’s speech. He nodded slightly and said, "What a brilliant saying, ’flowing water does not compete for the first; it strives for an endless flow.’"
"Sect Leader, despite your youth, you see more clearly than this old man, truly shaful."
"Haha, Elder Xuu, what you said is unnecessary. At this mont, let’s continue discussing this Foundation Establishnt Pill."
"Actually, Elder Xuu, you really don’t need to worry about little Song Minghui."
Lu Yuanshan smiled: "To be honest, this Foundation Establishnt Pill was willingly relinquished to you by Song Minghui herself. She has no imdiate intention of establishing a foundation and is instead wholeheartedly focused on studying the Dao of Artifact Refining."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Xuu ngyuan was sowhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, it was Song Minghui who gave up this Foundation Establishnt Pill to him, which was truly unexpected, as he didn’t imagine soone would not be tempted by this Foundation Establishnt Pill.
However, now that it was ntioned, Lu Yuanshan had made it quite clear, so Xuu ngyuan would not think much about it and wouldn’t further inquire into the reasons, silently acknowledging Song Minghui’s kindness.
"Since that’s the case, this old man does want to accept the Foundation Establishnt Pill and prepares to enter secluded cultivation to establish a foundation in the near future."
Xuu ngyuan wasn’t polite anymore, as the Foundation Establishnt Pill before him was indeed quite tempting.
"It’s good for you to enter secluded cultivation earlier to establish the foundation."
Lu Yuanshan handed the Foundation Establishnt Pill to Xuu ngyuan and reminded, "I see that this Foundation Establishnt Pill shouldn’t be kept for long, so why don’t you prepare in the next few days for the foundation establishnt."
"I observe that your cultivation aura has reached the peak of the Qi Cultivation Stage, and there’s no need to hone your cultivation any longer; you are ready for Foundation Establishnt."
"If I establish the foundation recently, I am afraid I must consider matters in Guangde County, which might be hard to relinquish..."
Before Xuu ngyuan could finish his sentence, Lu Yuanshan smiled gently.
"No worries, I’ve already thought about the affairs in Guangde County."
"I can dispatch Second Elder Lu Zhiwei over to temporarily take over your role as Guardian Envoy, and help manage Guangde County. This way, you can enter secluded cultivation peacefully."
"With us here, you can focus on establishing a foundation and worry about nothing else."
"Good, with the Sect Leader’s arrangents, I can establish a foundation with peace of mind."
Switching the topic, Xuu ngyuan said earnestly, "However, regarding this Foundation Establishnt Pill, I don’t want to take it for free. Sect Leader, please state any conditions, and I will strive to fulfill them as long as they are within my capability."
"Hehe, I guessed you would ask this. The condition is actually quite simple."
"The condition for exchanging for this Foundation Establishnt Pill is that you continue to serve as Guardian Envoy of Guangde County for another ten years."
"To continue guarding Guangde County for ten more years?"
Xuu ngyuan didn’t feel this condition was unreasonable; on the contrary, he was sowhat surprised by its simplicity.
According to his own thoughts, he wouldn’t leave Guangde County within the next ten years. He would remain in Guangde County for continued living and cultivation.
To him, Guangde County has already beco a ho.
"What, does Elder Xuu feel that ten years is too long?"
Lu Yuanshan asked.
This Foundation Establishnt Pill was exchanged from Zhang Nianchuan using a piece of Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper along with ten thousand sect contribution points.
As the Sect Leader, Lu Yuanshan would naturally not act in a way that goes against fairness, nor could he give the Foundation Establishnt Pill to Xuu ngyuan for free.
Doing so would certainly raise doubts within the sect, causing others to think Lu Yuanshan favored Xuu ngyuan.
Having Xuu ngyuan continue to guard Guangde County for another ten years seed a fair exchange, sothing Lu Yuanshan had already considered and consulted with Lu Ping.
Lu Ping naturally suggested Lu Yuanshan do what he deed appropriate, raising no objections.
"No, no, Sect Leader, you misunderstood . I am willing to continue serving the sect and guard Guangde County for another ten years."
Xuu ngyuan responded with a serious deanor.
"Good, just waiting for your word."
"Elder Xuu, then it is settled. For the next ten years, not a single spirit stone will be short of your allowance."
"This Foundation Establishnt Pill is now yours."
After reaching an agreent, Xuu ngyuan carefully accepted the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Next, Lu Yuanshan inquired about Xuu ngyuan’s plans for secluded cultivation, when to begin, and relevant arrangents after secluded cultivation.
Having co all the way, Lu Yuanshan wanted to personally ask clearly to arrange things properly.
"Haha, speaking of which, this old man has been wanting to establish a foundation half a year ago and was even prepared to risk everything in secluded cultivation, but after a deep thought, I felt it was inappropriate and did not proceed."
Xuu ngyuan said slowly.
"Now, first, with the help of the ancestor, my body has regained youthful vigor, giving the opportunity for Foundation Establishnt. At this mont, the Sect Leader brings the Foundation Establishnt Pill, and thus, I don’t want to delay the Foundation Establishnt any longer."
"Why not, I will start secluded cultivation tomorrow, what do you think, Sect Leader?"
Xuu ngyuan asked.
