Inheritance

Several more months passed, and on this day, Pei Yi came as usual to change Kang Dabao's dressing. This time, the Sect Leader Kang Da's injury was not light; the bone in his right arm, which had collided with Shi Xiao's snake staff, was almost shattered into powder.

Even though Pei Yi has been using the tiger bones from the tiger's remains to make medicine every day for months, and nearly half of the nearly 1,000 pounds of bones has been used up, Kang Dabao's arms have only improved slightly.

Based on this calculation, it seems that Sect Leader Kang Da will need another year or two to fully recover.

Kang Dabao remained cheerful as always. In any case, he didn't need his arms for his daily practice of the Delusion-Breaking Golden Eyes and chanting of scriptures and qi Qi Refinement, except that he was quite tired when it was late at night.

This inconvenience was tolerable for Sect Leader Kang Da, as the saying goes, "Essence is the foundation of the body, therefore those who preserve their essence will not suffer from fever in spring."

Well, this size is actually a good thing.

That day, Pei Yi came to change Kang Dabao's dressing as usual. Yuan Jin Jiang Qing, still worried, also came to visit.

The two brothers frowned deeply when they saw that Kang Dabao's injuries were not healing.

"Junior brother's skills are meager, causing senior brother to suffer." Pei Yi looked at Kang Dabao's injuries with a guilty expression.

"We're brothers, what are you talking about?" Kang Dabao subconsciously tried to wave his hand, but his right hand only rose halfway before he couldn't lift it, creating an awkward atmosphere.

"I think I'll make a trip to Xuanwei City. The spirit ointment made from Second Tier tiger bones costs five hundred Spirit Stone per dose. With some bargaining, I can get it for a little over four hundred." Yuan Jin frowned.

"If we use that kind of spiritual ointment, Senior Brother's injuries should heal considerably within ten days, and he'll be fully recovered in a month or two," Pei Yi chimed in in agreement.

"What kind of wealthy family spends five hundred Spirit Stone to treat an injury? How can they live like this? You might as well cut off both of my arms and take them to the market to see if anyone is willing to pay five hundred Spirit Stone for them."

Upon hearing the price, Kang Dabao immediately refused, shaking his head repeatedly.

"I'll go with my senior brother. Just Ji Wuwu sent word that he had found out the whereabouts of that old Lady Guo from the Si Lao Mountain Kingdom. He said that the thieving woman seems to have recently appeared near Xuanwei City."

Jiang Qing ignored him. He had picked up nearly twenty Storage Bag by himself last time, so he had enough Spirit Stone and was full of confidence. He grabbed Yuan Jin and went out together.

Kang Dabao called out several times to stop them but to no avail. He could only smile wryly and say, "If we're only spending these Spirit Stone now, then all the hard work I've put in these past few months has been for nothing. It's also a pity about that tiger bone. First-Tier Superior-Grade items aren't common anymore. Many people would be interested, and it should sell for several dozen Spirit Stone."

"Senior brother has worked hard as the sect leader all these years, and it's rare to see the sect showing signs of revival. It's not good for you to be the sect leader and have both hands in slings all day long. This amount of Spirit Stone should be spent." Pei Yi also sincerely advised from the side.

Upon hearing this, Kang Dabao fell silent, a smile spreading across his round face. He was naturally gratified by his junior brothers' kind intentions.

"Rongquan is making good progress, he's almost catching up with Shilun." Seeing that Kang Dabao's mood had improved, Pei Yi started talking about the younger generation's cultivation.

During these days, in addition to refining elixirs, he was in charge of transmitting skills, and thus knew them best.

"Hehe, that's great! Maybe in a few years, my Kang Household will produce a Foundation Establishment." Kang Dabao chuckled, and upon hearing this news, he felt the pain in his hand lessen considerably.

But isn't Shilun's progress a bit too slow? How many more days will he have to stay in the kitchen?

There are still two Law Artifact implements and cooking utensils gathering dust in the kitchen; he can't use them unless he becomes a Daoist.

"Anle is quite skilled at tending to spirit beasts. Not only does she get along well with the Black Blood Colt, the Desolate Ox, and the Old Donkey, but she also seems to have developed a bond with the Fire Jackal and the Gray Spirit Falcon," Pei Yi continued.

"Anle is a simple and honest child, and he has already mastered the basics of the 'Azure Wood Treasured Light Guide.' In the future, we can indeed consider entrusting the Beast Garden to him. It's a pity that we couldn't find the beast taming manual passed down by the Shi Household from Shi Feng. The 'Beast Artisan Formula' in the sect's collection is of good quality, Desolate-Tier Superior-Grade, but it has too few annotations from predecessors. None of us are good at this, so we can't give him much guidance."

Kang Dabao sighed, thinking to himself that Chongming Sect's foundation was still somewhat lacking.

"It's just that Yundao hasn't been able to grasp the method of the 'Three Yang Scripture' for a long time. Junior Brother Jiang has tried to explain it to him several times in his spare time, but it hasn't been effective." Pei Yi also sighed.

"Not surprising." Kang Dabao declined to comment. If Vast-Tier Superior-Grade Cultivation Method were really that easy to master, Jiang Qing wouldn't be the only one in the Chongming Sect to have mastered it within the last fifty years.

But cultivation is a personal matter. Perhaps Han Yundao will change his mind once he suffers more hardships.

"As for Mo'er," Pei Yi Fang Yi with a wry smile. Kang Dabao also smiled wryly; cultivating with Five Spirit Roots was extremely difficult.

"Que'er chose the 'Metal and Fire Formula,' was it at your suggestion, Junior Brother? Although her progress is not bad, I guess she might be a little disappointed." At the end, Kang Dabao saw that Pei Yi did not mention Pei Que, so he took the initiative to speak.

"I know Que'er's aptitude. I studied the Three Yang Scripture Classic back then, and my master also said that without that talent, it would be a waste of effort. Que'er is like his father, but his aptitude is probably not as good as mine, so he probably won't be able to master it either."

Although the "Metal and Fire Formula" is not particularly useful for combat, its Cultivation Method lies in its simplicity and ease of learning. Nearly ten predecessors in the sect have left annotations on it and reached the Late Qi Refinement. My master also practiced this method, and before his death, he even passed on his insights into Foundation Establishment to me. If Jie'er cultivates this technique, he should avoid many detours.

When asked about his Martial Uncle Li's insights into Foundation Establishment, Pei Yi seemed to have been prepared. He immediately took out a silk scroll and presented it to Kang Dabao with both hands.

"This is the culmination of Martial Uncle Li's life's work, Junior Brother, you don't need it," Kang Dabao said after a moment of silence.

"My master is also a disciple of Double Brightness. Such a precious item should naturally be handed over to the sect leader for safekeeping." Pei Yi interrupted Kang Dabao after only hearing half of what he said, and then said decisively.

Since Pei Yi had said so, Kang Dabao had no choice but to accept it. He wasn't in a hurry to look through it, after all, it was hard to say whether he would ever have the chance to use this item in his lifetime.

However, the value of this Foundation Establishment insight is undeniable; it is truly priceless for cultivators at a critical juncture.

Indeed, there are few items in the Double Brightness collection that are more valuable than this.

Logically, this was something that Martial Uncle Li had designated to be given to his disciple before his death, so the sect had no reason to ask for it back. But Pei Yi was willing to give it up, which truly moved Kang Dabao deeply.

"As your elder brother, I will certainly safeguard our master's hard work and use it to Double Brightness to our clan. Please rest assured, junior brother." Kang Dabao carefully put it away and placed it in the most important place in his Storage Bag.

The so-called inheritance and accumulation of a sect is built up slowly by the hard work left by generations of predecessors.

This has always been true, and it will always be true.
