"Third Young Master, you're back."
"Greetings, Third Young Master."
"Greetings, Third Young Master..."
Bai Kun returned to his own cave abode complex located in the outer sect.
The Bai Lineage members who passed by all greeted them respectfully.
These people were both disciples of Azure Pool and members of his Bai Lineage.
Within the Bai Lineage of the outer sect, his status was considered extremely prestigious.
Because the master of Upper White Peak, the famous True Lord Bai Yi, was his great-grandfather.
Has my father arrived?
"Reporting to Third Young Master, the Patriarch has arrived and is in the Spirit Garden Cave."
A servant from another family bowed respectfully.
Bai Kun silently turned around and walked towards a cave abode with abundant Spiritual Qi behind the cliff.
Before long, cave abode engraved with numerous formations appeared before him.
The stone gate to the cave abode was wide open.
Its inner light shimmered.
Upon entering, one discovers that this cave abode is a world unto itself.
Several acres of well-maintained spiritual fields were located there, and beside the fields stood a powerful man in a blue robe with his hands behind his back.
"Father, you've arrived."
"Hmm, how have you been doing in the outer sect lately?"
"Fortunately, my cultivation has been progressing smoothly recently, and I may be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment this year."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in the green robe spoke with slight displeasure.
It seemed like a reprimand.
Didn't I tell you that Foundation Establishment is not allowed this year?
"What's the rush? We'll talk about it next year. I won't approve the Foundation Establishment Pill for you this year either."
"What... why is Father doing this?!"
Bai Kun was somewhat puzzled, as everyone else was eager for their daughters to start cultivating quickly.
How come even his rapid breakthroughs are considered a mistake?
Why? For your own good!
"There are some things I'm not telling you for your own good. You can wait a couple of years; your ancestor will be around for those years anyway."
"My Bai Household hasn't faced any major upheavals. Whether you have one more Foundation Establishment or one less, it won't make a difference."
"But..."
"No buts!"
With a snort, the pressure from the Foundation Establishment rippled out slightly.
This made Bai Kun dare not speak further, and he had no choice but to cowardly agree.
"By the way, I heard you got into a fight with someone in the General Affairs Hall today?"
"It's... a Foundation Establishment True Person from Supreme Azure Peak, I think his surname is Ye..."
"Surname Ye? There's no one with the surname Ye among the Four Peaks and Four Clans..."
After a moment's hesitation, Bai Luochuan turned around, his expression indifferent.
"Forget it, he's just an ordinary Foundation Establishment. Don't bother with him. Once you reach Foundation Establishment in two years, you can handle it yourself."
"Yes..."
"Well, I came down the mountain this time to warn you not to Foundation Establishment. There's nothing else to say, but I won't have time to come down the mountain again this year."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll come down next year."
After saying this, Bai Luochuan flicked his blue sleeves and remained silent.
After leaving the cave abode, they flew away on their swords.
Bai Kun was left alone, his face grim.
After disciplining his son, Bai Luochuan didn't linger at the outer gate and headed straight for Upper White Peak.
There have been many miscellaneous matters in the inner sect lately, and the once-in-a-century Hastening the Seedlings to Immortal Ascension Assembly has arrived once again.
As one of the high-ranking figures in Upper White Peak, he had many responsibilities.
Even when he came down to give instructions to his descendants, he only managed to find a spare moment.
"Whoosh!"
The flying sword sped through the clouds and mist.
Head straight up to the Upper White Peak.
There were far fewer people around.
Before flying to the top of the deserted cave abode.
Bai Luochuan jumped off his flying sword, straightened his robes, and knelt respectfully in front of the cave abode entrance.
He spoke in a low voice, "Grand Ancestor, the list of members for this year's peak has been released. Please take a look."
After he finished speaking, no one responded.
Bai Luochuan didn't even raise his head; he just knelt respectfully in place.
After a long while, a slightly aged voice came from the cave abode.
"Give it to me."
"Yes!"
With an unintentional tremor, Bai Luochuan quickly pulled a Jade Slip slip from the cuff of his robe.
Raise both hands above the head.
"Call out!"
The next second.
The stone door of the cave abode slid open slightly, Jade Slip slip flew in.
Bai Luochuan couldn't see what was happening inside the cave, nor did he dare to use his Divine Sense.
They just waited there, motionless.
However, this time it didn't take long before the Jade Slip was thrown out.
"That's all for now. Add one more: bring Bai Kun along too."
"Isn't the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly still a few months away? Tell him to hurry up and establish his foundation during this time so he can participate together."
"He is the cornerstone of the Bai Household's future. How can we function without him? Go."
An old, hoarse voice reached his ears, and Bai Luochuan seemed unable to believe his ears.
He didn't pick up the Jade Slip, nor did he get up. He looked up in a panic, his gaze seemingly piercing through the crack in the stone door, seeing the person inside.
"Grandfather, Kun'er... he's my own son, your own great-grandson!"
"How could he... what if..."
"Hmm? What if what? You really don't trust my descendants, Bai Yi's descendants?"
"He's a descendant of the True Lord, after all. What's wrong with going in and trying to gain some benefits?"
"That's decided then, go ahead."
As soon as the words "Go" were uttered, before Bai Luochuan could speak again, an intense pressure, as heavy as a mountain, swept out from the cave.
It was like being assaulted by a thousand mountains and crashed by ten thousand rivers.
There was a loud thud!
Bai Luochuan was instantly sent flying off the mountaintop, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Ignoring the pain of his injuries, his face showed terror, yet he dared not utter another word...
That night, Bai Kun, who was still troubled by why his father was preventing him from cultivating, suddenly received a pill bottle.
A servant relayed an imperial edict, saying that it was a special reward from the patriarch, granting him permission to quickly Foundation Establishment.
Upon hearing this, Bai Kun was overjoyed...
" Junior Brother Lu, this is the Supreme Refinement Peak."
"You may choose any secluded cave abode within the peak."
" Inner disciple are different from outer disciples; they are no longer required to accept a certain number of tasks each month, but they must teach at any of the various halls once a month."
" True Person from beside the peak will come shortly to change your identity Jade Slip and deliver robes."
After bidding farewell to Xu Xiong, Master Wu returned with Lu Li from the Supreme Refinement Peak.
They were helping him choose cave abode.
He was also given some instructions regarding the inner gate.
" Junior Brother Lu, there aren't many rules for the inner sect, but there is one: you must pay your respects to the Peak Master once a month."
"Especially for newly arrived disciples, after they have settled in, they must go and meet the Peak Master."
"It's late tonight, go tomorrow. It's in the main hall at the summit; just tell them your purpose."
Wu Changgeng explained clearly, and Lu Li returned the bow as a gesture of gratitude.
Finally, the two chose a relatively quiet cave abode.
"Whoosh!"
The cave entrance was opened, without waiting for Wu Changgeng to introduce them.
Lu Li's gaze was immediately drawn to a small, one-acre plot of spiritual field inside the cave.
"This is..."
His tone was slightly surprised, as if he were somewhat taken aback.
Wu Changgeng responded.
"This is a spirit field. Oh, Junior Brother probably doesn't know yet, inner disciple ' cave abode are all located above third-tier Spirit Vein."
"You can cultivate spiritual fields within the cave abode!"
"Oh?!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Li's eyes lit up, and his tone became even more expectant.
"Does that mean... all the produce from the spiritual fields within the cave abode belongs to me personally?"
"I can cultivate as much land as I want?!"
