It has been eight years since Jiang Ping'an asked Dongfang Jintang to help him practice, and Jiang Ping'an's cultivation is about to be completed Qi Refining Realm.
On this day, Jiang Ping'an took Xuan Shuang to Xiu Yun's cave.
The cultivation level of Xuan Shuang is more than four years after the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, while Xiu Yun is still in the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm. The spiritual stones obtained by the two women from Jiang Ping'an are basically the same, but due to the talent gap, the difference in cultivation level is getting bigger and bigger.
After spending the whole night explaining the effect in simple terms, Jiang Ping'an said to Xuan Shuang and Xiu Yun the next morning, "You just accept a mission that requires traveling far away, and then fake your own death. You can go as far as you want."
"Why?" Xiu Yun asked subconsciously.
Xuan Shuang's face changed slightly, and his beautiful eyes looked closely at Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an's expression became stern and he said without any doubt, "Do as I say."
"Xiu Yun and I are not afraid of death!" Xuan Shuang said firmly.
Xiu Yun also realized what the problem was and immediately nodded vigorously.
Jiang Ping'an had to say unpleasant words and said, "But you will become my weakness."
Xuan Shuang and Xiu Yun couldn't help but change their faces and their beautiful eyes became sad. Xiu Yun even blamed himself and shed tears.
After a while of silence, Xuan Shuang suppressed the self-blame and guilt on his pretty face and said to Jiang Ping'an, "Sir, don't worry, Xiu Yun and I will leave soon."
"Well, pay attention to safety." Jiang Ping'an eased his expression and nodded.
Xiu Yun couldn't help but threw herself into Jiang Ping'an's arms and started crying.
After burning a stick of incense, Jiang Ping'an left Xiu Yun's cave.
"Xuan Shuang, do we really want to leave?" Xiu Yun asked.
Xuan Shuang nodded firmly and said, "We must go, we can't drag the young master down."
Since joining Azure Origin Sect, she has practiced very hard, hoping that one day she can provide a little help to Jiang Ping'an at a critical moment. However, the fact is that she cannot help at all, and even spent a lot of spiritual stones on Jiang Ping'an.
She feels very useless.
More than half a month later, Xuan Shuang and Xiu Yun successfully accepted a mission that required a long trip, and together they drove the spirit boat away from the Azure Origin Sect.
Before leaving, they did not see Jiang Ping'an again because they were worried about bringing risks to Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang left Azure Origin Sect.
Within the Azure Origin Sect, there is also Bai Ruoxue.
However, he has almost no contact with Bai Ruoxue, and it is unlikely that Wang Zhongyou will find out that he is related to Bai Ruoxue.
More than half a year has passed, and Jiang Ping'an's cultivation has finally been completed Qi Refining Realm.
Cold Emerald Peak Cold Emerald Cave Mansion, the big bed in the bedroom.
Dongfang Jintang noticed that Jiang Ping'an Qi Refining Realm was perfect. She sat up and stared at Jiang Ping'an. The quilt covering her body slipped off, revealing her ice-cold skin.
The next moment, Jiang Ping'an opened his eyes with a smile on his face.
Dongfang Jintang said, "You are still laughing, you are about to die."
"It's not that serious." Jiang Ping'an said, his smile not diminishing.
Dongfang Jintang said, "You and I will be separated from each other from now on. I will soon forget you after you die."
"Don't say such depressing words." Jiang Ping'an shook his head.
Dongfang Jintang Look away and don't look at Jiang Ping'an.
At noon the next day, Jiang Ping'an once again "announced the good news" to Wang Zhongyou.
"Haha, good, good!" Wang Zhongyou was so excited that tears almost filled her eyes.
In the past eight and a half years, he has spent 8,400 spiritual stones on Jiang Ping'an every year. Even for all his descendants, he only spends more than 3,000 spiritual stones every year.
Fortunately, the harvest period is finally coming soon. As long as Jiang Ping'an Foundation Establishment succeeds, he will get a big reward by handing Jiang Ping'an to True Lord Xuan Luo.
He then said impatiently, "Brother Yu, go and report the good news to Master now. Master, he should have prepared the Foundation Establishment treasure for you."
"Thank you Senior Brother Wang." Jiang Ping'an put on a very grateful expression on his face and bowed to Wang Zhongyou.
Wang Zhongyou laughed, helped Jiang Ping'an up and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, stay here and don't leave. Wait for good news from Brother Yu. Brother Yu will come back as soon as he goes."
After saying that, he strode out of the cave and flew towards Mystic Array Peak.
Jiang Ping'an sneered in his heart. If he didn't know that Wang Zhongyou had another purpose, anyone else would be moved to tears by Wang Zhongyou's warm love.
After waiting for about half a day, Wang Zhongyou came back and walked into the cave with a loud laugh.
Jiang Ping'an stood up immediately and went to greet him.
Before Jiang Ping'an could speak, Wang Zhongyou had already smiled and said to him, "Junior Brother Jiang, Master is very happy to know that you Qi Refining Realm have achieved perfection. He gave Foundation Establishment treasure on the spot and asked Brother Yu to hand it over to you."
"Really?" Jiang Ping'an said excitedly. He immediately turned around and bowed deeply in the direction of Mystic Array Peak, "Disciple, thank you Master for your love."
Then, he bowed and thanked Wang Zhongyou.
Wang Zhongyou immediately supported Jiang Ping'an and refused to bow.
Then, Wang Zhongyou said to Jiang Ping'an seriously, "The Foundation Establishment treasures given by Master are Yin Yang Reincarnation Stone, Three Lives Cicada Molt and Merit Purple Bamboo."
"Yin Yang Reincarnation Stone: Produced in the secret realm at the junction of Yin and Yang (such as the bottom of Taiji Pool), the stone has two sides, black and white, which need to be picked at the same time. This stone contains the most original energy of reincarnation."
"Three Lives Cicada Molt: I found a rare "Three Lives Dream Cicada" and took its cicada slough after its natural death. This thing can help practitioners keep the memory of reincarnation intact."
"Merit Purple Bamboo: Plant a purple bamboo and water it with your own good deeds for hundreds of years, or exchange it for a ready-made bamboo heart from a wealthy family who has accumulated good deeds. This bamboo can protect the spiritual platform and resist the erosion of the netherworld."
After the introduction, Wang Zhongyou paused, and then said, "Master asked, these three items can allow you to build Mysterious Nether Reincarnation Dao Foundation."
"Mysterious Nether Reincarnation Dao Foundation?" Jiang Ping'an asked, "What is the use of this foundation?"
Wang Zhongyou explained, "By cultivating Mysterious Nether Reincarnation Dao Foundation, you can glimpse fragments of other people's past lives; by cultivating it, you can briefly open a miniature reincarnation channel, forcibly expelling the enemy's soul, causing the enemy to lose their soul and become demented or comatose; by cultivating Reincarnation Golden Body, you can have a chance to be reborn elsewhere (at a huge cost)."
Jiang Ping'an pretended to be happy and said, "What a strong Daoist foundation, I want to practice Mysterious Nether Reincarnation Dao Foundation! As long as I cultivate 'Reincarnation Golden Body', I will almost have multiple lives!"
He knew very well in his heart that he could only accept but could not make a choice. What kind of Daoist foundation he would practice had already been determined from the beginning True Lord Xuan Luo.
Wang Zhongyou smiled and said, "Brother Yu also thinks it's very good."
He continued, "Master explained that the Foundation Establishment ceremony is to retreat at the winter solstice (the day when the cathode and the yang are born). Holding the reincarnation stone, Spiritual Sense follows Three Lives Cicada Molt into samadhi and has gone through the test of the illusion of reincarnation in three lives. It is necessary to maintain the original intention in the illusion, return with the light of Merit Purple Bamboo, and finally integrate the insights of the three lives into the foundation of the Tao."
"Did you remember it?"
"I remember." Jiang Ping'an responded.
Wang Zhongyou then took out Yin Yang Reincarnation Stone, Three Lives Cicada Molt and Merit Purple Bamboo and gave them to Jiang Ping'an. Of course, these three treasures were packed in jade boxes.
After getting the Foundation Establishment treasure, when Jiang Ping'an said goodbye and left, he seemed to remember something and immediately turned back and said to Wang Zhongyou, "Senior Brother Wang, I need to go to the Skill Repository Hall to redeem the Foundation Establishment Realm stage skills, but I don't have enough spiritual stones. Can you lend me ten thousand spiritual stones?"
Wang Zhongyou cursed in his heart, but still smiled and agreed, "No problem, you can come see Brother Yu the day after tomorrow."
Now he is so poor that he doesn't even have 10,000 spiritual stones on hand, and needs to sell his treasures to raise enough.
"Thank you Senior Brother Wang." Jiang Ping'an thanked him happily.
Then, he finally said goodbye and left.
Back to the Feiquan Cave Mansion, Yu Lianhua is sitting in the hall drinking to relieve his sorrow.
In the past, she liked to drink Spirit Tea and scented tea, but since Wang Zhongyou forbade her to drink Foundation Establishment, she started drinking Spirit Wine.
"Lianhua, I, Qi Refining Realm, have achieved perfection!" Jiang Ping'an said to Yu Lianhua with a smile on his face.
Yu Lianhua immediately jumped up from his chair with joy and excitement, crying with tears in his eyes, "Great!"
Jiang Ping'an asked with a smile, "Why are you crying instead?"
Wang Lianhua wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "I'm so happy, I'm so happy for you."
After saying that, she threw herself into Jiang Ping'an's arms.
After a while of excitement, Yu Lianhua left Jiang Ping'an's mind and asked, "What Daoist foundation are you going to choose? Does my master have any advice for you?"
"Master has given Foundation Establishment treasure to let me practice Mysterious Nether Reincarnation Dao Foundation." Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.
Yu Lianhua smiled and nodded, "It turns out that Master has already made arrangements. Ping An, you will definitely Foundation Establishment succeed."
"I'd like to lend you some good words." Jiang Ping'an nodded.
The day after tomorrow, Jiang Ping'an went to the Biguang Cave Mansion again to find Wang Zhongyou. Wang Zhongyou took out 10,000 spiritual stones and gave them to Jiang Ping'an.
Wang Zhongyou felt very sad in his heart. These ten thousand spiritual stones were completely spent by Jiang Ping'an to exchange them for his skills. He could not take them back from Jiang Ping'an's relics after his death.
Leaving Biguang Cave Mansion, Jiang Ping'an drove the spirit boat and went directly to the Skill Repository Hall to redeem the skills.
This time, Jiang Ping'an redeemed all the techniques at the <Azure Nether Illusory Array Canon>Foundation Establishment Realm stage in one go. Although it requires a lot of good deeds and spiritual stones, Jiang Ping'an is well prepared.
As for the <Azure Nether Illusory Array Canon>Golden Core Realm stage skills, there is no exchange at all and they are in the hands of True Lord Xuan Luo.
The reason why he exchanged the <Azure Nether Illusory Array Canon> Foundation Establishment Realm stage skills in one fell swoop was because he was worried that if he couldn't defeat True Lord Xuan Luo, he would have to run away.
Go back to the Feiquan Cave Mansion, Jiang Ping'an and carefully read the exercises you just obtained.
After half a day, he read through the <Azure Nether Illusory Array Canon>Foundation Establishment Realm exercises.
Putting down the jade slip, Jiang Ping'an closed his eyes, opened the panel in his mind, found the newly recorded exercise in the [Exercise] entry, then added Proficiency Points, and entered enlightenment.
After a cup of tea, Jiang Ping'an completely understood the <Azure Nether Illusory Array Canon>Foundation Establishment Realm method.
Opening his eyes, Jiang Ping'an thought to himself and said, "Golden Core Realm is not in a hurry for the time being, maybe we can get it from True Lord Xuan Luo. One hundred times one hundred thousand Proficiency Points is ten million Proficiency Points. It's already a lot. We can't squander it casually."
Everything is ready, just wait for the day when the yin and yang are born (the winter solstice).
There are still two months and seventeen days left before the winter solstice.
A month and a half passed, and there was still one month and two days before the winter solstice. Yu Lianhua took Ziling and moved out of the Feiquan Cave Mansion, leaving Jiang Ping'an alone to prepare for Foundation Establishment.
"Foundation Establishment must succeed." Yu Lianhua stood in front of Jiang Ping'an with complicated emotions.
Having been together day and night for more than ten years, and with Cultivation Partner in mind, it is impossible for her not to have any feelings for Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, wait until I come out of seclusion."
Ziling stepped forward and said affectionately, "Sir, I will pray for you every day."
"Thank you." Jiang Ping'an thanked him, reaching out and patting Ziling's jade arm.
Finally, Yu Lianhua and Ziling left Feiquanyan Mansion.
