"Boom boom..."
My heart sank as the heavy door opened, and the man in blue slowly stepped out.
Looking at the familiar and unchanging courtyard scenery, Zhang Lingyu stretched and couldn't help but sigh.
If this were in the mortal world, things would be very different; only a place of cultivation would remain so unchanged.
He smiled. He was in an exceptionally good mood after successfully refining his natal magic weapon. He was just about to go to the courtyard to sit for a while when two figures were rapidly approaching him.
Upon closer inspection, he recognized his two good disciples.
Wang Menghan and Meng Wanyan landed on the wind in the courtyard. Looking at the open gate of the cave, they couldn't see their master. As they looked around, they heard a call.
Turning my head, I saw Zhang Lingyu sitting in the pavilion, enjoying tea.
The two quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Wanyan congratulates Master on emerging from seclusion!"
"Meng Han congratulates Master on the great success of your magic weapon!"
"Haha, congratulations to you too!"
Zhang Lingyu waved his hand, gesturing for his two disciples to sit down and chat. His words of congratulations were not just casual remarks; in just four years, these two disciples had made further progress in their cultivation, which showed that they had been diligently practicing every day.
Although Wang Menghan could have broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage within four years, she intentionally suppressed her breakthrough.
Since the beginning of his cultivation, he has always enjoyed the treatment of a direct descendant of the clan, with all kinds of rare and precious materials and elixirs never ceasing, and there were almost no bottlenecks in his breakthrough when refining Qi and establishing his foundation.
As the saying goes, every medicine has some toxicity. Breaking through too early inevitably leads to an unstable foundation. If the foundation is not good, the first step of forming the core will fail.
Besides laying a solid foundation, another important task is to cultivate the first volume of the "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture" to perfection, so as to deal with the tribulations of inner demons.
As for Meng Wanyan standing to the side, she was already a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining!
As cultivators with spiritual bodies, there is no such thing as a bottleneck in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building realms. If Zhang Lingyu hadn't instructed them to lay a solid foundation at every step before going into seclusion, this disciple might already be a Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator today.
Even so, achieving a minor realm every year is something many cultivators envy.
"Master, your natal magic weapon is complete?" Wang Menghan couldn't help but ask as soon as she sat down.
Her swordsmanship talent surpasses even Zhang Lingyu's. Song Siyu praised her back then, and even during the great chaos four years ago, she still had the intention of sending her to Xiaoyun Peak for cultivation.
"Back then, otherwise, how could I, Master, have had the face to emerge from seclusion?"
Zhang Lingyu smiled; how could he not understand his disciple's thoughts?
As fellow sword cultivators, they shared a deep affection for flying swords, especially since the young girl had long harbored the idea of crafting a complete set of flying swords.
He gently made a hand seal, and thirty-six Xuan Yi Ming Xiao flying swords immediately emerged from his Qi Sea, flying back and forth in the courtyard in mid-air.
"This is Master's natal magic weapon!"
The two girls stared intently at the flying sword, swallowing hard. The flying sword's design was not much different from the Xuan Ting Flying Sword from before, but the most important feature was the purplish-blue Yi Wood Spirit Lightning wrapped around it.
As one of the most domineering things in the world, the destructive power of thunder instilled a deep fear in their hearts.
Even the slightest contact would be enough to obliterate them, even those at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
After looking at it for a while, the two women's eyes started to hurt. Meng Wanyan had already looked away after a few breaths. As a cultivator, she shouldn't have looked like that, but the lightning on the magic weapon was constantly burning under its power. Even if it was controlled by its master, others would feel strange if they looked at it for too long.
The strange phenomenon on the mountaintop only disappeared after Zhang Lingyu put away the magic weapon.
It took Wang Menghan a while to react, and she said enviously, "Master's magic weapon is so powerful!"
"This is nothing. Once you've formed your core and your families are better off, your magic weapons will definitely be much better than your master's."
Zhang Lingyu smiled and changed the subject: "During my seclusion, did anything important happen at home?"
"Everything is fine in the clan. If there's anything major, it's that Master caused quite a commotion while refining a magic weapon, which made many elders worry and fear." Wang Menghan couldn't help but tease with a smirk.
After listening to the two disciples' explanations, Zhang Lingyu was both amused and exasperated.
Unexpectedly, such a thing happened in the middle, so much so that the clan thought that the magic weapon he had made was an extraordinary thing, that it could actually attract a tribulation of lightning.
Actually, that's not the case. It's just that during the process of fusing many kinds of lightning liquid, even when the formation was operating at its limit, it was still unable to prevent the aura from leaking out, which caused a strange phenomenon.
Fortunately, the strange phenomenon disappeared in the end, and nothing serious happened.
However, everyone was still somewhat worried, fearing that another strange phenomenon might suddenly occur. If it really triggered a tribulation of lightning, the power of the Qingya Mountain protective formation would probably not be able to withstand it.
Apart from that, there were no other major events.
"Master, in these four years, the clan has gained four more Foundation Establishment cultivators, all of whom belong to the 'Yuan' generation: Yuan Min, Yuan Shu, Yuan Hai, and Yuan Qing. This is truly a series of joyous events."
Wang Menghan continued, "In addition, Grandpa Xinghao and Grandpa Xingyao have also successfully broken through to the late and peak stages of Foundation Establishment."
"It is indeed a joyous occasion," Zhang Lingyu nodded with a smile.
During the period of great chaos in the cultivation world of Southeast China, several Foundation Establishment cultivators of the family perished, but fortunately, Yingchuan County was not attacked and its foundation remained intact.
The "Yuan" generation has always been the most profitable since the family became powerful. After a series of battles and trials, they naturally emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, vying to break through.
Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Pills used for this Foundation Establishment were not from the clan's inventory; they all came from compensation from the Jade Light Pavilion.
Speaking of this, he recalled the scene when his family competed with other families at the market auction to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Now things are much better. The Foundation Establishment Pill formula is no secret to our family, and we have two Golden Core alchemists. As long as we have enough materials, we can have as much as we want.
Foundation Establishment is not an obstacle for the family at present; Golden Core is the real problem.
Leaving aside Zhang Yuanyao, let's talk about Zhang Xingyao and Zhang Xinghao. In fact, the cultivation paths of these two elders have almost come to an end.
Without an extraordinary stroke of luck, achieving the Golden Elixir is impossible.
Among the clan, only Wang Menghan and Zhang Yuanyao have a higher chance of success... but these things are ultimately unpredictable.
"My uncles and aunts definitely won't consume the Golden Core Pill or any Golden Core-forming spiritual items; they'll leave them for the younger generation. After all, these things are becoming increasingly rare, and there aren't many left in the clan." Zhang Lingyu shook her head secretly.
Actually, there is another way, which is to become a pseudo-core cultivator by using demon cores and various rare and precious materials, which would be less risky.
Although they cannot advance in rank throughout their lives, their lifespan is the same as that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
With this in mind, protecting the family would not be a problem. After some thought, Zhang Lingyu decided to seek their opinions.
Although they don't have demon cores at the moment, the two of them have enough lifespans, and there will always be opportunities in the future.
"Besides that, is there anything else?"
"have."
Wang Menghan nodded, her expression somewhat solemn, and replied, "Two months ago, there were unusual movements in the cave where the Soul-Devouring Bees were raised. I think one of the queen bees is about to advance in rank."
