Fang Mu's Progress

early morning.

Miaomiao Mountain, inside a cave on the back mountain.

The cave was shrouded in demonic energy, which all the disciples on the mountain could sense, but none of them went to investigate.

Everyone believed in Chu Feng, and even more so in that Qianqian Sister Qianqian wouldn't make a mistake.

At this moment, the demonic heart within Chen Qianqian's body has fully awakened and is vying with her Dao heart for control of her body.

As the demonic energy gradually devoured all the Dao Light in Chen Qianqian's heart, only the character "Dao" remained in her heart.

The word "Tao" is precisely the Great Dao Script of the Tao that she has come to understand from the Dao De Jing over the years.

As the demonic energy devoured the Dao Light, the spiritual power within her body surged continuously, quickly breaking through one cultivation bottleneck after another. It also opened up every meridian in her body, finally cleansing her entire body as if trying to dispel the Dao from her.

Boom!!!

Accompanied by a soaring aura, everyone on Miaomiao Mountain arrived outside the cave.

"This is the aura of the Dao Foundation Realm."

Xiao Chen said subconsciously.

"Qianqian Sister Qianqian has Foundation Establishment in a hundred days!"

Cao Youqian said with an envious look.

Although the surrounding disciples did not speak, a hint of envy flashed in their eyes.

Just then, Chu Feng's voice suddenly came from afar.

"You don't need to envy Qianqian. She has been studying the Dao De Jing Te Ching with me for many years without practicing any cultivation techniques. Can you guys endure that kind of loneliness?"

We pay our respects to our Master and Master's Wife.

Everyone bowed to Chu Feng and Bing Yan in unison. Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, the envy in their hearts dissipated.

Indeed, everyone here is a prodigy, just on different paths. Qianqian Sister Qianqian's success today is largely due to her years of hard work and dedication.

As everyone was talking, a beautiful figure flew out of the cave.

"Master, Mistress, Qianqian can fly!"

Chen Qianqian spun twice in the sky before landing on the ground.

Seeing her behavior, Chu Feng said, somewhat annoyed, "You little brat, you're already a grown woman, why are you still acting like a child?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qianqian instinctively moved closer to Bing Yan, saying with a pitiful expression, "In front of Master and Master's wife, I'll always be a child, won't I?"

Upon hearing this, Bing Yan laughed and said, "Qianqian is right, why are you yelling at her?"

Chu Feng: "Just keep indulging her. Alright, now that Qianqian has entered the Dao Foundation Realm, let's go back and have a small celebration."

Qianqian's hundred-day Foundation Establishment also increased his cultivation by several decades, as well as two points of the True Essence of the Great Dao.

"Yes."

After everyone responded, they returned to the other courtyard together.

As the celebration reached its climax, Xiao Chen was the first to step forward. "Master, I have been cultivating on the mountain for three years and am now preparing to descend and gain some experience."

"Can."

Chu Feng agreed without hesitation.

Following closely behind Cao Youqian, Wang Baole, Ye Beixuan, and Xu Caichen also stepped forward, expressing their desire to go down the mountain for training, and Chu Feng granted their requests one by one.

The next day, more than half of the disciples on Miaomiao Mountain were gone.

Chu Feng was already used to this and was about to go fishing when a familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

"Host's disciple, Fang Mu, has mastered the art of alchemy with spiritual fire. Reward: Host, Great Dao Truth +3."

He then decided to change his destination and headed towards the courtyard where Fang Mu was.

With just one step forward, Chu Feng appeared in Fang Mu's courtyard. Before he could even speak, he heard Rocket Turtle's voice coming from inside.

"Kid, not bad, you've got one-seventh of my skill level."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng blurted out instinctively, "Little Fire, who do you think you are, calling yourself 'Grandpa'?"

Just as the Rocket Turtle inside the house was about to retort, it suddenly appeared in front of Chu Feng in a flash.

"Master, what brings you here so suddenly? I was just joking around, please forgive my rudeness."

Chu Feng didn't bother arguing with this kid. After giving him a warning look, he headed towards Fang Mu's alchemy room.

Fang Mu strode out of the house and bowed to Chu Feng.

"Disciple greets Master."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "No need for formalities. Judging from Little Fire's tone just now, you should have mastered the Spirit Fire Alchemy Technique to a high degree."

Fang Mu nodded. "I have to thank Senior Brother Fire Turtle for his guidance, otherwise I wouldn't have made such rapid progress."

"You don't need to be modest. Just ask me if you need anything."

Chu Feng treated all his disciples equally. Fang Mu usually appeared unassuming, but he was very popular among the younger generation of disciples at the Dao-Seeking Academy.

The reason is simple: Fang Mu's pills are cheaper than those in Dao-Seeking City, and he also often helps many disciples in the academy refine pills.

Fang Mu said, "Master, I do have a request for you."

Chu Feng: "Tell me about it."

Without much hesitation, Fang Mu got straight to the point. "I have made an appointment with several fellow disciples in the academy to go down the mountain to find a Abnormal Fire. I would like to ask Master to have Senior Brother Fire Turtle lend me a hand, since it is a powerful figure on the Heavenly Flame Ranking."

Rocket Turtle usually enjoys hearing flattery like this. If Chu Feng hadn't been there, it would have patted Fang Mu on the shoulder and given him a thumbs up.

Chu Feng looked thoughtful, but he quickly understood why Fang Mu wanted to borrow the Rocket Turtle.

"Okay, remember to be careful on your journey."

"Thank you, Master."

Fang Mu was overjoyed to receive Chu Feng's approval.

The Rocket Turtle next to it was so happy that its entire ball of fire was shaking constantly.

Seeing Rocket Turtle's attitude, Chu Feng said, somewhat annoyed, "You brat, are you unhappy following me?"

Rocket Turtle immediately cowered and shook his head hastily. "Master, how can you slander my innocence out of thin air? I just wanted to broaden my horizons."

Chu Feng rolled his eyes at the guy. "Alright, I know your character. Remember, once we're out here, prioritize Little Mu Little Mu's interests and don't cause him any trouble, or you'll know what happens."

"I've got it."

Rocket Turtle is only thinking about playing now, and it will agree to any request.

Chu Feng received 3 points of the True Essence of the Great Dao, and in high spirits, he turned and left.

After confirming that Chu Feng was far away, Rocket Turtle hurriedly urged, "Little Mu, hurry up and pack your things, we're leaving tonight."

"..."

Seeing its appearance, Fang Mu suddenly felt a pang of regret. Could it be that bringing along Senior Brother Fire Turtle this time was a mistake?

However, he patiently said, "Senior brother, it's just a matter of one night, and I need to take my leave tomorrow as usual before I can go down the mountain."

"You humans are such a hassle."

Rocket Turtle muttered something sullenly, then concealed its aura and flew towards a lantern.

The next day at noon, Fang Mu accepted Chu Feng's Sword Jade, then bid farewell to everyone before heading to the square of the Dao-Seeking Academy.

Rocket Turtle was hiding in an oil lamp in his pocket. In Rocket Turtle's words, "They've all gone out to play, it's not fair to lock me up."

Fang Mu landed, the disciples from various academies who had been waiting there came forward to greet him.

"Senior Brother Fang."

Fang Mu glanced at everyone and, seeing that they had all arrived, clasped his hands in a Fist Dao, "Fellow junior brothers, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's set off now."

No one showed the slightest impatience; they all said in unison, "It's alright, waiting for Senior Brother Fang is only right."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone left the mountain gate together...
