Chen Wang was overjoyed to discover that he possessed a divine treasure.

Being able to travel through the heavens means countless resources, doesn't that mean?

However, after calming down, Chen Wang realized that he was currently unable to activate the Bronze Gate to travel to other heavens.

"Focus on your cultivation first. You've just Foundation Establishment. Once your realm stabilizes, you can study it more thoroughly."

Chen Wang took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Chen Wang successfully Foundation Establishment and waved to remove the flags outside.

At this moment, Law Power surged, and he felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body.

He took out a Cultivation Method from his Storage Bag, the Jade Spring Hidden Landscape Skill, a Cultivation Method for the Foundation Establishment Realm.

What sets Chen Wang apart from ordinary vagrants is that he possesses a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation Method, which comes from Cultivation Method Green Crane True Immortal.

"After reaching the Foundation Establishment, one needs corresponding Cultivation Method to continue cultivating. In addition, some of the Law Technique that were originally mastered are now outdated."

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

He possesses two intermediate-level Law Technique: Fire Serpent Technique and Three Realms Sword Art.

Although Chen Wang has not yet mastered these two Law Technique to their highest level, their power is completely different when he uses them now.

"More advanced Law Technique are hard to find in the Market and are very expensive."

"The Red Cloud Sect's Technique Pavilion should also have it, but if we do that, we'll have to tell the sect about it."

At this moment, Chen Wang had other plans.

If the Cultivation Method in Qinghe True Person's tomb were still there, he would have treasured them. However, when Green Crane True Immortal was nearing the end of his life, his personality clearly became problematic. That bastard actually started eating people and even wanted to eat children!

Moreover, there has been no good news coming from the Green Crane True Immortal's Tomb recently.

Chen Wang strode to the small building where Wang Yue lived, pushed open the door and went in, calling out loudly, "Brother Wang, Brother Wang!"

Wang Yue leaned halfway out from the second floor and asked, "What happened?"

Chen Wang said in a very serious tone, "Something big has happened!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue nimbly leaped down, bracing himself against the railing.

"What's wrong? Have some scoundrels sneaked in again?"

Chen Wang shook his head.

Wang Yue's heart skipped a beat. "Something happened to the spirit field?"

Chen Wang shook his head again and said calmly, "I Foundation Establishment."

Wang Yue said, "The spirit field can't be allowed to have any problems. These are all high-quality varieties that I've painstakingly cultivated... What are they?"

He snapped out of his daze and stared at Chen Wang with wide eyes.

Chen Wang spread his hands. "I 'Foundation Establishment."

Wang Yue: "..."

He looked at the sky outside; it was only morning. He hesitated and said, "I didn't drink anything last night. How long did I sleep?"

Chen Wang shrugged. "I'll reach Foundation Establishment as I practice."

Wang Yue laughed loudly, "You brat, you really do have Foundation Establishment Pill in your hands!"

Chen Wang said, "Brother Wang, you already knew?"

Wang Yue dismissed it. "When you came to see me last time, you didn't ask about the Foundation Establishment Pill, so I guessed it."

Chen Wang's lips twitched.

Then Chen Wang said, "I originally came from a declining cultivation Lineage. My ancestors were once glorious, but now I am doing poorly and am ashamed to mention my ancestors' names."

Wang Yue nodded. "A fallen scion of a cultivation Aristocratic Clan."

Chen Wang nodded, then sighed.

"I don't have any Foundation Establishment Skill right now, Brother Wang, you have to teach me."

Wang Yue nodded slightly. "That's easy to say."

Chen Wang was overjoyed.

Wang Yue said, "Your ancestors didn't leave behind Cultivation Method, only a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Chen Wang sighed.

Wang Yue stroked his chin and said, "That's a good explanation. If anyone asks you about it in the future, just say that."

Chen Wang: "..."

He stared at Wang Yue with wide eyes.

Wang Yue said irritably, "When I first became a disciple, I told my master that I was the reincarnation of a Spirit Transformation Stage expert, which startled my master."

Chen Wang gave a thumbs up. "Awesome!"

He then explained, "Brother Wang, I didn't mean to lie to you, I..."

Wang Yue waved his hand. "You can't do it like this. What if I'm bluffing you? If you're going to say it, then say it to the end. You have to stick to it."

"If you are determined enough, others will even doubt whether they have made the wrong judgment."

Chen Wang: "..."

It's not that his acting skills aren't good enough, but that Old Wang is a pioneer on this path.

Wang Yue said, "After you Foundation Establishment, you can take on the position of elder in the sect, and your benefits will be much better in the future."

"You can go to the Technique Pavilion then, but it depends on you. What are your thoughts?"

Chen Wang said, "I don't want to make a fuss; I'll keep a low profile."

Wang Yue laughed and said, "That's right. I can also go to the Technique Pavilion. If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"Besides, given the current situation, being too famous isn't a good thing; it makes you an easy target."

Chen Wang shared many of the same ideas as Wang Yue.

"I do have some concerns."

Wang Yue said with a smile, "I like smart people who know when to be honest."

He thought for a moment and said, "The Cultivation Method I practice is called the Niwanzhen Preservation Art, which can enhance Divine Sense compared to other Cultivation Method."

"Now that you have Foundation Establishment, I will teach you this Cultivation Method."

Chen Wang's expression was solemn.

Since I met Old Wang, Old Wang has treated me extremely well.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Old Wang and bowed deeply.

Wang Yue accepted his bow with composure. "Sit down and listen carefully, I will now teach you the Niwanzhen Preservation Art."

Chen Wang then sat down.

"Every joint of the Niwan acupoint has a spirit, and the nine true beings of the Niwan acupoint each have their own chambers, within which lies a space one inch in diameter..."

He explained the Cultivation Method in detail, and Chen Wang, with his powerful Divine Sense, was able to memorize it after listening.

However, this Cultivation Method was obscure and difficult, and there were many parts that Chen Wang couldn't understand at all, so he needed Wang Yue to patiently guide him.

This Cultivation Method emphasizes developing the Niwan point, from which one's consciousness and Divine Sense originate.

Wang Yue didn't particularly enjoy teaching disciples, but his knowledge was extremely profound, and his understanding was very thorough.

Therefore, when he speaks, many things become simple and easy to understand.

It's much faster than learning the Cultivation Method by hand.

"This Foundation Establishment Skill is even more difficult to learn than calculus. If you try to figure it out on your own, you're likely to make mistakes."

Chen Wang sighed inwardly.

Wang Yue's expression turned serious. "Don't get distracted, concentrate on understanding the cultivation method."

When he taught the Cultivation Method, he was completely different from his usual unrestrained and carefree self; he was extremely formal.

One speaks and the other listens, patiently teaching.

Chen Wang is now at the Foundation Establishment Realm, refining Qi into liquid, transforming all his Law Power, and his cultivation speed in the Niwanzhen Preservation Art is extremely fast, he only needs two or three days to get started.

"The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you. This Niwanzhen Preservation Art is extremely profound. I will tell you the key points. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come and ask me again."

Several more days passed.

Chen Wang's understanding of this Cultivation Method became increasingly profound, but many of its nuances could not be fully appreciated without dedicated practice.

He sat cross-legged every day, practicing the Niwanzhen Preservation Art.

Perhaps because of his powerful Divine Sense, his training went much more smoothly than others, even earning Wang Yue's approving nod.

"I didn't expect you to have such good potential."

However, Wang Yue's praise was limited to this.

Chen Wang was overjoyed to have obtained a profound Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation Method from Old Wang for free.

He increasingly felt that he had made the right choice by joining the Red Cloud Sect.

Otherwise, where would independent cultivators obtain Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation Method?

If I were to practice the Jade Spring Hidden Landscape Skill, I might encounter problems over time, and I wouldn't be able to master it so quickly.

Chen Wang, having actually obtained the Cultivation Method for free, approached Old Wang and asked for the Law Technique in return.

Wang Yue didn't hold back. "I see you have a lot of experience in sword practice, so I'll teach you a sword technique."

So Chen Wang got another free copy of the Great River Sword Art from Old Wang.

This Great River Sword Art is far more refined and profound than the Three Realms Sword Art that Chen Wang learned; its Sword Qi energy is extremely powerful.

Moreover, it emphasizes the continuous Great River Sword Intent, with techniques that are airtight, giving it a significant advantage in combat.

This sword technique is extraordinary; if it were to spread, it would surely attract a frenzy of people vying for it.

That's how Wang Yue taught Chen Wang.

Chen Wang couldn't help but sigh, "Getting something for free really makes people happy; there's no need to go through all the trouble of acquiring Cultivation Method Law Technique."

In the days that followed,

When there was work to be done in the fields, Chen Wang would go and farm.

When there was no work to be done in the fields, he would focus on cultivating the Niwanzhen Preservation Art and developing the Niwan Land, or he would cultivate the Great River Sword Art.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment, Chen Wang felt as if he had entered a completely different world.

Many Law Technique were originally impossible to unleash their full power, and even if learned, they couldn't be mastered.

However, after Foundation Establishment, casting these Law Technique becomes effortless.

However, those minor Law Technique are useless against the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators; it's better to infuse them with Law Power and strike them with a palm.

Following Wang Yue in his spiritual practice broadened Chen Wang's horizons.

Of all the techniques he had learned before, only the Five Thunder True Method was still useful during the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Chen Wang has now mastered the Law Technique that were originally difficult to learn.

Cultivating Thunder Method requires diligence and courage, and this Thunder Method was a gift from Gao Xingqiu.

Old Wang taught him so much, and his insight was so sharp, so he took this method to ask for guidance.

"A very authentic Five Thunder True Method."

Wang Yue's eyes lit up.

He glanced at Chen Wang: "If this method were to spread, many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators would be tempted. You're just going to present it like this?"

Chen Wang said sincerely, "If it's useful to Brother Wang, then Brother Wang can take it. Brother Wang has taught me so much more, what's this?"

Wang Yue gave him a deep look and smiled with satisfaction, "Your little brother is a good person."

"This method is indeed useful to me. Here's what I'll do: I'll learn it first, and then I'll teach you."

Chen Wang nodded.

When you're not familiar with someone, you can talk about business; once you're familiar with them, you need to talk about feelings.

Mutual freebies are the best way to solidify a relationship.

Having spent some time with Wang Yue, I found him to be a good person and treat him very well.

This Five Thunder True Method was also profound for Chen Wang. Unlike the Palm Thunder, this method used heavenly thunder to attack. Once mastered, even evil spirits would be no match for it.

Wang Yue was an extremely intelligent man. He quickly learned the Five Thunder True Method and explained some of the more obscure parts to Chen Wang in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

He was extremely talented and explained things very thoroughly, so Chen Wang learned the Five Thunder True Method faster. However, it still took him a full half month to barely be able to mobilize a trace of heavenly thunder.

However, this is considered to be the formal entry into the path, and it is more than ten times faster than ordinary people to cultivate this method.

"I love farming, and I like to go shopping in Goulan. I have a martial arts spirit and learn things very quickly. Lao Wang is such a wonderful person!"

Chen Wang sighed.

During this period, his cultivation level stabilized, and he entered the basics of the Niwanzhen Preservation Art, the Great River Sword Art Technique, and the Five Thunder True Method.

His progress was more than ten times faster than that of ordinary independent practitioners who explored and practiced on their own.

Previously, Chen Wang killed six people after being ambushed in the mountains.

The Red Cloud Sect displayed the heads of these six people high in the Market as a show of force, and the situation changed once again.

During this time, Chen Wang had been training diligently on Green Bamboo Peak.

Despite the tense situation outside, no major conflict has broken out.

With constant minor frictions, anyone could sense that a storm was brewing.

Besides cultivating, Chen Wang spent his days farming with Wang Yue, leading a very fulfilling life.

That day, after finishing their work, Old Wang cooked a few dishes, and the two of them sat down together to drink.

Wang Yue instructed, "Your progress during this period has been very obvious. You have also refined some of the Green Ox Sword. You are not like an ordinary cultivator who has just Foundation Establishment."

"Just don't be careless when you encounter an enemy. If you encounter a master in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, turn around and run as soon as you have the chance."

Chen Wang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded casually. "I understand."

Wang Yue said, "The Red Cloud Sect and the Profound Yin Sect are bound to have a major battle soon. I've noticed that things are getting tense lately."

"Our Old Ancestor's health is deteriorating, and this battle seems to be going to be very difficult."

When Chen Wang first learned about the Red Cloud Sect's Old Ancestor from Wang Yue, he asked, "What exactly happened to the Old Ancestor?"

Wang Yue said, "They keep this a secret, but in my opinion, it's nothing special."

"He was injured in a battle with someone in his early years, which shortened his lifespan. His time is coming to an end."

He spoke of it casually.

Chen Wang's heart tightened upon hearing this. "I've heard a lot about the Old Ancestor taking concubines..."

Wang Yue said, "Those young and beautiful virgins can be used as Cauldron for Dual Cultivation cultivation. When people cultivate immortality to the end and enjoy the glory, they are the most reluctant to give it up."

Chen Wang nodded.

Wang Yue continued, "Anyone with eyes can see that about the practice of 'sexual cultivation,' but I feel that the Old Ancestor's thoughts might go beyond that."

Chen Wang's heart stirred. "You want to leave behind some offspring?"

Wang Yue was taken aback, then laughed and said, "You're really smart."

"A Golden Core Old Ancestor is nearing the end of his life. Can he Dao Zhen be saved by a few beautiful maidens?"

"Leaving some offspring to spread the family line and pass it on to future generations is a last resort."

Chen Wang sighed.

Wang Yue said, "The worst outcome is that they fall into Evil Method. Many people, even when their time is up, cannot resist the temptation of Evil Method and have considered all possible methods."

After saying that, he gave a cold laugh and downed the wine in his hand in one gulp.

Chen Wang remained silent.

Judging from Old Wang's expression, he seemed to be very disgusted with Evil Method.

Wang Yue glanced at Chen Wang and said with a smile, "If things go wrong, know when to run. Also, don't easily trust others."

His words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

After saying that, Old Wang, looking rather dejected, stretched lazily without any airs of superiority and went back to his room to sleep.

Chen Wang watched Wang Yue's departing figure, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
