[Great Yin Mother Qi]

Are you going to give it to me or not?

"No!"

"No room for negotiation?"

"No discussion!"

In the center of a tranquil lake, surrounded by the Ten Directions Heavenly Peaks.

Inside an elegant pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Blood Demon True Person Deng Yin sat opposite a middle-aged Daoist priest with black hair, a long beard, and a face covered in tumors.

Faced with the old True Person's abrupt visit and straightforward request, True Person Qingli put her hands in her wide sleeves, her eyes half-closed, displaying an attitude of keeping people at arm's length and leaving no room for negotiation.

He didn't even bother to glance at Deng Yin in front of him.

"You think you can exchange a few tattered volumes of cultivation manuals for my [Great Yin Mother Qi]?" True Person Qingli raised her head slightly, let out a soft snort, and shook her head repeatedly. "Senior Brother Blood Demon, this is too much to ask."

His words carried a clear hint of displeasure.

[Great Yin Mother Qi] is a rare, Innate substance in the world, a treasure for exploring the Dao, how precious it is!

Although for True Person person like him who has already established the Dao Foundation, he himself is of no use.

But whether used to forge a powerful magic Law Treasure or to exchange for other urgently needed treasures, it is an excellent choice.

The Blood Demon True Person wanted to exchange his treasure for a few volumes of nonsensical notes.

Did he really think Qingli was a sucker?

Seeing that True Person Qingli refused so decisively, Blood Demon True Person Deng Yin was not annoyed. Instead, he chuckled and spoke in a calm tone:

"Junior Brother Qingli, don't be so quick to make definitive statements."

If you find those volumes of notes unsuitable, then I'll discuss a different price with you, how about that?"

Hearing that the old True Person's words had softened and that he seemed to have other bargaining chips, True Person Qingli's hand, which was tucked in his pocket, twitched slightly. He slowly opened one eye and glanced sideways at Deng Yin.

Facing this Holy Sect True Person, whose seniority and depth were unknown, he naturally had to give him some face.

Moreover, the old True Person's family was famously wealthy within the Holy Sect.

If I can really offer him something that appeals to him, exchanging it wouldn't be out of the question.

"Oh?" True Person Qingli's tone softened slightly, tinged with curiosity. "What's the price? Senior Brother, why don't you tell me?"

Deng Yin's smile remained unchanged. He slowly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said as if chatting casually:

"I've heard—Junior Brother, your only daughter, whom you cherish like a precious jewel, seems to be nearing the end of her life and about to be reincarnated, isn't she?"

He paused slightly, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over True Person Qingli's slightly changed face, before continuing:

"If I remember correctly, this should be her fourth reincarnation, right?"

The reincarnation of Qi Refining cultivators is not endless.

Ordinary cultivators can only undergo three cycles of reincarnation at most before their souls are completely washed away by the Principle heaven and earth, leaving nothing behind.

At that time, even if the True Lord himself intervenes, he will not be able to bring back the "past life" that has already vanished.

In other words, after three reincarnations, the returning soul, though sharing the same origin, is a completely new stranger with no connection to the past.

The only daughter of True Person Qingli is the sole bloodline left by his deceased wife, and is the deepest concern and tenderness in his heart.

In order for this daughter to escape the limitations of her lifespan and successfully Foundation Establishment for longevity.

Over the years, he has spent countless efforts and sacrifices, humbling himself to beg for favors from everyone he knew, and searching for countless elixirs, Cultivation Method, and secret manuals.

Unfortunately, his daughter's aptitude for cultivation was extremely mediocre.

Even though she consumed the elixir like candy, and despite having her father, a Foundation Establishment True Person, imparting all his knowledge and providing meticulous guidance, she still couldn't break through that crucial barrier.

Confined to the realm of Qi Refining, he wasted his life.

Now, her lifespan is coming to an end, and this is her third incarnation.

If one enters reincarnation again, once the soul is completely cleansed, even if one can find a reincarnated body in the future.

That was no longer the daughter he remembered, no longer the unique child his beloved wife had left him.

This matter has become a thorn in True Person Qingli's side, like a lump in his throat, causing him anxiety day and night, yet he is helpless to do anything about it.

"What do you mean?" True Person Qingli, whose eyes were half-closed, suddenly opened them, her eyes flashing with a sharp light. She leaned forward involuntarily, staring intently at Deng Yin.

"Could it be that Senior Brother has a way to help my daughter Foundation Establishment?!"

His voice carried a hint of urgency and anticipation that he himself was unaware of.

"Foundation Establishment and seeking the Dao is the path to the Great Dao. How can others do it for you?" Deng Yin slowly shook his head, his calm tone shattering True Person Qingli's illusions.

True Person Qingli's eyes dimmed, and the spirit she had just raised deflated again. She frowned and said:

"What you just said, senior brother?"

"Although I cannot help your daughter Foundation Establishment," Deng Yin said calmly, with a composure that suggested he was in complete control of the situation.

"But—it might still be possible to buy her more time."

Before he finished speaking, a faint light flashed in the old True Person's palm, and a vast, pure life essence suddenly spread out, instantly filling the entire pavilion in the middle of the lake.

A beautiful, flawless, and exquisitely pink Longevity Peach, the size of a large bowl, shimmering with rosy light and Daoist patterns, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The intensely vibrant life force seemed to cause the surrounding waters of Tianhu Lake to ripple with joy.

The moment True Person Qingli saw the peach, her pupils contracted to pinpoints. She abruptly pulled her hands out of her pockets, slammed them onto the stone table, and stood up abruptly. Her face was filled with disbelief and shock, and she exclaimed in astonishment:

"This—this is Longevity Peach!?"

"So, is this item to your liking?" Seeing True Person Qingli's flustered reaction, Blood Demon True Person Deng Yin smiled faintly, everything was under control.

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"

True Person Qingli took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement that was about to overflow her chest, but her gaze remained fixed on the Longevity Peach.

These rare treasures of heaven and earth, which can directly extend one's lifespan, are exactly what he desires most right now!

But he was, after all, a True Person, with a calm and composed nature. After the initial elation, a trace of doubt surfaced in his mind. He forced himself to remain calm and asked slowly:

"But where did you get this Longevity Peach, Senior Brother? As far as I know, this item seems to be only available in—"

"When did Junior Brother Qingli become so fussy?" Deng Yin did not answer directly, but asked in a calm tone, his deep eyes revealing no emotion.

"Do you want it or not?"

True Person Qingli felt a chill run down her spine, immediately realizing that she had asked something she shouldn't have.

The senior student before him was far beyond his comprehension in terms of background and methods.

The fact that they were able to produce this item speaks volumes; my questioning of them is indeed overstepping my bounds.

"I was too talkative, please forgive me, Senior Brother." True Person Qingli quickly apologized without any further hesitation. He flipped his wrist and took something out of his wide sleeve.

The pearl appears simple and unadorned, but upon closer inspection with Divine Sense, one can discover that the interior of the pearl is not absolute darkness.

Instead, countless tiny, stardust-like, and icy-cold, pale white auras slowly circulated and rose and fell.

These auras sometimes coalesced into blurry characters, and sometimes dispersed like a nitrogen-filled mist, exuding an extremely pure and ancient Supreme Yin energy, as if sealing a frozen core of lunar essence within it.

The mere sight of them was enough to send a chill down one's spine and stir one's Divine Soul.

"This is the [Great Yin Mother Qi]." True Person Qingli pushed the black pearl toward Deng Yin, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

He had treasured this item for many years, originally intending to use it for his only daughter's Foundation Establishment.

But for now, we can only provide emergency relief and save our daughter's life first.

Deng Yin reached out and took the pearl. After scanning it with his Divine Sense to confirm that it was correct, he handed over the Longevity Peach that shimmered with rosy light.

The exchange is complete.

True Person Qingli carefully held the longevity Longevity Peach brimming with life essence, feeling the vast vitality within it, her eyes filled with a mixture of joy and complex emotions.

He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist his curiosity and asked:

"Among your disciples, it seems there are none in urgent need of Foundation Establishment. What is the purpose of requiring this [Great Yin Mother Qi]?"

Deng Yin was about to get up and leave when he heard this, he paused slightly, raised his eyes and gave True Person Qingli a faint warning look.

His gaze was calm and serene, yet as deep as an abyss, carrying an indescribable sense of majesty and oppression, as if it could see right through the deepest thoughts in people's hearts.

Just by being swept by that gaze, True Person Qingli felt her heart tremble violently, a chill rising from her spine, and all the words she was about to say were instantly blocked, and she dared not utter another word.

The old True Person withdrew his gaze without answering, and with a flicker, disappeared from the pavilion in the middle of the lake like a ghost.

Only True Person Qingli remained, holding the Longevity Peach, her heart surging with emotion, yet she dared not delve any deeper into the matter.

"Is this the [Great Yin Mother Qi]?"

In the private courtyard of the Outer Mansion, Qi Yun looked at the jet-black pearl handed over by the old True Person. As soon as he took it, his expression froze. He felt as if he were holding a ten-thousand-foot ice mountain.

It was not only incredibly heavy, but also extremely cold.

He had to use all his True Qi to barely manage to hold on.

"Yes, if your ' Innate One Nothingness Heart Method ' is to be further subdivided, there are three types of Dao Foundation that can be built."

The first principle is: Hundred Rivers Return to the Sea Dao Foundation;

The second is: The Myriad Phenomena Supreme Truth Dao Foundation:

The third is: The Primordial Heaven Ultimate Law Dao Foundation!

The first two types of Dao Foundation are Lower Vehicle Dao Foundation.

Although they can reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, they can only progress to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage at most before making any further progress.

Without a solid foundation, it's difficult to build a tall building.

The final [Primordial Heaven Ultimate Law Dao Foundation] is Higher Vehicle Dao Foundation. However, although Higher Vehicle Dao Foundation is excellent, it is extremely difficult and dangerous to forge.

You should think this over carefully.
