Chapter 96.

It was the Foundation Establishment that was the foundation of the Great Dao.

It was the beginning of a cultivator’s longevity, and it was also where the difference between cultivators and ordinary people in terms of the level of life lay.

“Foundation Establishment is still too far for me.

However, the benefits after having strong spiritual power are incomparably huge.

Whether it’s cultivating or studying, it’s able to have a certain gainful effect.”

After tan san slowed down, he went back to cultivating the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique and immediately noticed a difference.

It was much more relaxed.

The speed of understanding the structure of the runes was also relatively faster.

The tangible contrasting changes made him unable to resist chopping at himself again after two hours.

At that instant, tan san let out a miserable howling sound from his mouth, feeling a hollow, convulsive pain in his head, only to feel that there was nothing more painful in the human world.

If he were to be given another chance, he would definitely choose to chop out this blade only in the third hour.

In the next few days, tan san did not go out again.

Every day was incredibly busy.

Watching over the spiritual fields, digging holes in the ground, practicing spells, and then drawing the blade into a quick, horizontal chop at his spiritual power.

Even at night, it was also very tightly scheduled, drawing talismans, cultivating, and watching the Taiyi Atlas ……

Several days down.

The effect was remarkable.

The hole in the ground had already been dug by him to a depth of ten feet, and with another five feet or so, he could consider wrapping up and digging out a second exit.

At that time, there would be no need to worry about the safety after the chaos in the marketplace.

As long as he ran fast enough, danger would not befall him.

As for spells.

There were a few more spells that he had successively cultivated to the state of perfection.

Cleansing Art, Pacifying Art, Light Body Art, Soundproofing Art, and Breath Convergence Art.

These five spells were successively perfected.

Although they were all basic spells, they did not do much to increase his strength.

However, these spells, their effects were not small.

Among them, the Cleansing Spell could clean the traces of battle and sweep away foreign spiritual energy, and a few times before, it had played a not insignificant role, and now that it had been perfected, the effect had even more of a huge increase.

The Pacifying Spell had a miraculous effect on his rearing of spirit beasts and insects, not to mention the little spirit dogs, occasionally he applied this spell on top of the Gold Devouring Spirit Bee, and those sub-bees that he hadn’t contracted with were all a lot closer to him as a result.

Now that he had perfected it, he was even able to vaguely sense the other party’s thoughts and ideas, and was also able to correspondingly transmit his commands out.

For example, if he dropped a pacifying spell, the needs of dozens of Gold Devouring Spirit Bee’s children could be grasped by him, and he was able to correspondingly deliver his ‘orders’ to the hearts of these Gold Devouring Spirit Bee’s, and could almost hit wherever he pointed.

This spell, in a way, had already caused him to establish a bridge of communication with the spirit beasts and spirit insects that he had raised, and the effect was far greater than he could have imagined.

The Light Body Technique, on the other hand, needed no introduction, and could make him as light as a swallow, jumping several feet in a single leap, and even being able to move across short distances, spanning nearly ten feet.

The Soundproofing Technique isolated sound, and after it was perfected, it was even able to isolate aura.

For example, after he used the Sound Isolation Technique, as long as he wanted to, the surrounding spiritual energy would have difficulty breaking through his soundproof protection and would be blocked by the counterpart.

Although, he was unable to discover the specific use of this spell for a while, it was indeed full of mysteries.

As for the Breath Convergence Technique, it was to converge all breaths, and could even be done to allow him to blend into the environment, so that even if the onlookers landed their gaze on his body, they would subconsciously ignore it, thus achieving the effect of being as invisible as the invisibility technique.

However, tan san’s self-perception that he had made the most progress was still the strength of his spiritual power.

Almost every day, every two hours, he would cut himself.

Although the corresponding pain was indeed unbearable.

However, whenever he felt that his spiritual power, indeed, had a real growth, he was immensely satisfied and was able to be ruthless and keep wielding his sword.

Nowadays, the strength of his spiritual power was far superior to before, manifesting itself in his spiritual sense, where his original radiant range was only about ten feet, or about three meters, nowadays, his radiant range had already reached five meters, or about one foot and six feet.

Such a huge improvement made tan san’s cultivation in every aspect, quite smooth and progressing.

For example, also casting the Proficient level Spiritual Eye Technique, originally his casting time was around four breaths, but now that the realm of the spell remained unchanged, the casting time, however, had been shortened to three breaths.

And this, was the change that was shown after the spiritual power was strong.

The stronger the spiritual power, the more and faster the rune structures could be drawn in the same amount of time, which naturally corresponded to a shorter spell casting time.

It was also worth mentioning that the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Art that tan san was learning had benefited greatly as a result.

Originally, he had expected that it would take at least ten days for him to be able to correspond to the initiation.

Now, it was directly shortened by half.

With over fifty rune structures, he had already familiarized himself with most of them.

It was estimated that in another three to five days, he would truly cultivate the initiation.

“However, the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique is truly the most complex and powerful spell I have ever come across.

I just don’t know, once this spell is initiated, how powerful will it be when it is cast?

Does it compare to my Gengjin One Finger that has long since been perfected?”

tan san looked forward to it in his heart and began to try once again.

Before a spell was initiated, all that was needed was to keep familiarizing with it and keep trying.

After a thousand trials and errors, constant adjustments and corrections, one could always find the right path and then cast the spell in one fell swoop.

“Finally, the Hui Ling Grass has matured.”

Early the next morning, tan san stood in the spirit field in the backyard, a trace of a satisfied smile on his face.

The sign that the Spirit Convergence Grasses had matured and could be harvested and adopted was that their original green leaves had become green and purple because they had absorbed enough Spiritual Qi.

The thicker the purple color, the better their quality.

But it doesn’t mean that after the branches and leaves of the Spirit Grass start to turn green and purple, you can just let them grow and turn purple.

The period of maturity of the Spirit Grass is extremely short, often from the green leaves start to turn purple, there are only three days in the process, after three days, the purple leaves will start to turn black.

Once the purple leaves turn black, the original spirit grass will immediately become poisonous spirit grass, can only refine poisonous pills, poisonous things, the value is greatly reduced.

Therefore, generally speaking, in order to prevent accidents, the average spiritual farmer would choose to harvest the Hui Ling Grass on the first day that it started to turn purple.

As a matter of fact, tan san had already noticed that some of the branches and leaves of the Spirit Grass had begun to turn purple yesterday.

Now, it has finally begun to spread on a large scale, and almost all of the Spirit Grass has begun to turn purple and mature.

tan san didn’t want to delay, and hurriedly started picking.

tan san directly took some baskets and began to pull out one by one.

If the purple color was a little lighter, or did not turn purple, tan san would use the catalytic technique to accelerate their maturation and growth.

One by one, the Spirit Grass was dug out by the roots.

One plant, two plants, three plants ……

At the beginning, he was still careful, afraid of hurting the roots of the Hui Ling Grass and affecting their medicinal power, but later he became more and more skillful, coupled with the Spiritual Eyes Technique that could clearly observe its rhizome trend, so the speed of his digging began to accelerate.

It was just a short two hours.

Five acres of spirit field, a full two thousand nine hundred Hui Spirit Grasses, were all harvested by him.

“Two thousand nine hundred and seventy-eight plants.

At a price of one lower grade spirit stone per plant, that’s two thousand nine hundred and eighty-seven lower grade spirit stones.

Just a short time of less than two and a half months, and you’ve harvested so many sinking spirit grasses.

Bountiful harvest!

This definitely counts as a bumper harvest.”

tan san was also excited in his heart.

Although, because after he had killed the Insect King Xue Tong, his financial power had become much thicker with it, not only had he harvested more than a thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, but he also had the Spirit Turtle Shell, and the Qiankun Tripod, which were two upper-grade magic artifacts of immeasurable value.

But that was an accidental gain after all.

Does not belong to the norm.

And where to compare, this piece of by his careful care, step by step, by him from the seed to cultivate, and then to germination, growth, maturity of this detailed planting process, can bring a sense of accomplishment?

Especially looking at that thirty baskets, each basket, at least a hundred Hui Ling grass piled up in the scene, his heart really incomparable satisfaction, joy.

Then, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly left the door.

This Spirit Sinking Grass had been harvested, so he naturally needed to find a buyer and sell it out as soon as possible.

tan san first came to the back of Hexagon Pavilion, Qian Xiaoyue’s original residence.

When he was about to step in, he remembered that Qian Xiaoyue had said that not only had she moved her work to the Water Cloud Pavilion, it seemed that even her residence had been arranged in the backyard of the Water Cloud Pavilion.

Thus, he immediately turned around and headed towards Water Cloud Pavilion.

However, just as he turned around, he saw that there was a woman with a beautiful figure who was walking towards him, while beside him was a man who looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a slightly more robust figure.

The person who came was none other than Qian Xiaoyue’s friend who worked at the Hexagonal Pavilion, Lu Wei’er.

Just this one standing beside Lu Wei’er, tan san’s heart jumped, but his face did not move.

Seeing him, Lu Weier was also stunned, and said in surprise, ”Zhou …… Zhou Taoist friend, are you here to find Qian Xiao Yue? Did she not tell you that she has moved to Water Cloud Pavilion?”

“Told.

Only, when I arrived here, I remembered that he had already moved away, and I wasn’t planning to leave when I ran into you coming back.”

tan san returned, but his gaze fell on this man beside her.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, long time no see.”

That man also spoke up at this time, a smile on his face as he spoke.

“You guys actually know each other?”

Lu Wei’er also spoke in surprise, saying, “Didn’t you just move in a few days ago, Fellow Daoist Fang? You’ve also been at the Divine Wind Valley Workshop before, so how is it that you also know fellow Daoist Zhou?”

“It’s true that I had been staying at the Divine Wind Valley Workshop City before.

However, a few months ago, I had also followed a merchant caravan and came to the Feng Ming Dock Workshop once.

It was also because of that time that I realized that this Fengmingwu Workshop City, whether it was the cultivation environment or resources, was far superior to the Divine Wind Valley Workshop City that I was previously in, which is why I had this time, the idea of moving here in one fell swoop.

As for the acquaintance with friend Zhou, in fact, is also the last time, I came to Feng Ming Dock Square City, happened to live in the opposite door next door of friend Zhou.

It’s not like one thing led to another, and we got to know each other.”

As this person said that, he smiled and looked at tan san, saying, “Right? Fellow Daoist Zhou.”

tan san was also in a complicated state of mind at this time, not knowing what to say. This person, he did recognize.

It was precisely the ‘senior brother’ who lived across the street from him, that is, next door to Qian Xiaoyue, on the eve of the Night of Chaos a few months ago.

As for his identity, after Qian Xiaoyue’s reminder, he had already known that he was a robber cultivator.

Because of this, and because of his concern for safety, he had tried every possible means to move out from the outskirts of the marketplace and live in the South Street area of the inner city of the marketplace.

Just how could he not have expected that the two would meet again, and in such a situation full of chance.

“Fellow Daoist Fang and I, on the contrary, are indeed considered acquaintances.

Just that, after all, it was only a matter of a few meetings, so it’s impossible to speak of familiarity.

For fellow Daoist Fang, the understanding is limited.

I don’t even know Friend Daoist Fang’s name yet.”

tan san said with a leathery smile and a hint of a reminder.

No matter what, Lu Wei’er was also considered Qian Xiaoyue’s friend, if he didn’t know it would be fine, but if he knew it, he would naturally remind her as much as he could.

Listening to Lu Wei’er’s meaning, the other party can now live in this small courtyard.

Living with a robber cultivator, this safety, how can it be guaranteed?

Even if this place was an inner city, it was still the same.

As for worrying?

If it was a few months ago, or even before he killed Xue Tong, he really had some fear of this ‘Taoist Friend Fang’, after all, the robber cultivator, and the other party’s strength is the sixth level of qi cultivation, in his opinion, the strength of the realm can be enough to crush him.

He naturally did not dare to provoke, to be respected from a distance.

But nowadays, through the last battle with Xue Tong, he is also considered to have a certain amount of confidence and backbone, naturally will not be like before that, fearful.

“This is me being abrupt.

My surname is Fang, my name is Shitong.

I am also a demon hunting cultivator, and I have been hunting demonic beasts and taking their materials for a living.

Unfortunately, previously, in the Divine Wind Valley workshop market, because of a sneak attack by an enemy, the hunting team suffered heavy losses, which is why I took up an escort mission and came to this Feng Ming Dock workshop market.

In favor of the last chaotic night, my last brother also left, and now I’ve become a loner.”

Fang Shitong arched his hand and said.

“I see!”

tan san also arched his hand, naturally not believing it all in his heart.

Only then did he turn to Lu Wei’er and said, “Since Fellow Daoist Qian isn’t here, then I won’t intrude any further, farewell!”

After saying that, he didn’t stay too long and turned around to leave.

“It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhou has a few misunderstandings about me.

It’s also my fault, when I ran to the inner city on an impulse on the night of chaos, and then came back covered in blood, he probably thought that I was a murderous person, right?”

Only after tan san walked away did Fang Shitong give an awkward smile and explained to Lu Wei’er.

“On the Night of Chaos, either you kill someone else or someone else kills you.

There is no distinction between right and wrong.

Fellow Daoist Fang was also motivated by self-preservation in the first place, so as long as you have a clear conscience, there’s really no need to care if others misunderstand or not.”

Lu Wei’er also responded with a smile.

One incense stick later, tan san appeared at the Water Cloud Pavilion.

After telling the Water Cloud Pavilion attendant again, he soon saw Qian Xiao Yue’s figure, walking out from the backyard of the Water Cloud Pavilion.

Seeing him, Qian Xiao Yue also rejoiced and laughed, “Today is a rare day, why did you, a busy man, want to get up and look for me.”

“Wanted to find, this is not here?”

tan san was rare to be witty, Qian Xiaoyue’s face immediately bloomed into a smile, but immediately after tan san added: “Last time, didn’t you say that after the Hui Ling Grass matured, you would come to let you know, and leave it to your Water Cloud Pavilion to acquire it?

This is not the case, early this morning Hui Ling Grass all mature, I busy a few hours, will Hui Ling Grass all harvested.

I just want to ask you, in your Water Cloud Pavilion, do you still want Spirit Grass?”

Qian Xiaoyue’s smile suddenly solidified, did not have the good sense to look at him, but also know that this is a big deal, the situation in the Water Cloud Pavilion, in this period of time has not changed much, she wanted to share the worries of ‘sister’, which is why in the last time to propose the acquisition of things, at this time heard the words, was also hastened to say: “You wait for a while! I’ve come to talk to my sister, it just so happens that she’s free at the moment, right in the backyard.”

Saying that, stood up and was about to leave, when suddenly, as if sensing something, she hurriedly turned around again, looking at tan san in astonishment, saying, “You, you’ve broken through?”

Right from the start, she had felt that there was something wrong with tan san’s body.

It was only because she saw tan san come to her with joy in her heart that she didn’t think much about it.

At this moment, when she took a look, she immediately made a discovery, and her heart was filled with shock.

“Luck, barely breaking through.”

tan san said back.

“You, luck is too good, right?”

Qian Xiaoyue naively opened her mouth and could only let out such a sentiment.

Thinking back carefully, last time when the other party was intercepted, it seemed like he was only at the second level of Qi Practicing? Then not long after, he had already broken through to the third level of Qi Practicing.

At that time, although she was surprised, she only thought that the other party had built up a thick layer of Qi, which had led to a quick breakthrough.

As a result, at this time, not even half a year apart from the other party’s breakthrough, just three or four months, and they had broken through again? Reaching the fourth level of qi cultivation and becoming a middle-ranked cultivator like her?

Such a speed was already comparable to a genius cultivator with dual attributes.

But if she remembered correctly, the other party should only have a five-attribute spiritual root?

When she ran to the backyard of Water Cloud Pavilion, she was still thinking about this in her mind, and although her heart was indeed happy for tan san’s breakthrough, for some unknown reason, her heart suddenly had some inferiority complex, and she didn’t wake up until she realized that she had walked into one of the backyard’s courtyards.

Only to see that in the courtyard, there was a woman with a beautiful figure and a fair face, as if she was a dusty fairy, standing in the middle of the courtyard, one hand pointing to the moon, one hand pinching.

And at her side, a flying sword is just like a swimming dragon, in her surroundings to make scurrying, dexterous and changeable, from time to time to turn corners, extremely close to the surrounding buildings, the speed is amazingly fast, but on the contrary, did not damage the surrounding grass and trees in the slightest.

“Xiao Yue, what’s wrong, a soulful look?”

Seeing Qian Xiaoyue walk into the backyard, the woman first spoke out, saying.

“Sister Xinyue.”

Qian Xiaoyue awoke with a start before she hurriedly said, “Didn’t I mention to you last time that I have a friend who planted a batch of Spirit Sinking Grass?

This time, he came over and said that the Hui Ling Grass has matured, asking if we at Water Cloud Pavilion still need to acquire …… it.”

“Naturally, we need it.

You tell him to send it over, our Water Cloud Pavilion is willing to buy it for thirty broken spirits per lower grade spirit stone …… Wait, it’s better for me to go personally.

It just so happens to also see, let Xiao Yue you can not forget the spirit farming kid, what is the origin.”

Saying that, the woman’s hand trick movement, that flying sword suddenly quickly turn back, and then along her sleeve into, quickly disappeared into thin air.

“Sister~!”

Qian Xiaoyue stamped her foot shyly.

Shen Xingyue, however, had already taken the first step towards the front yard of Water Cloud Pavilion.

Seeing this Qian Xiaoyue hurriedly chased after her.

“tan san, this is the sister I’ve been mentioning to you, Sister Shen Xinyue.

Sister Xinyue, this is tan san, also my neighbor and …… friend.”

Qian Xiaoyue hurriedly jumped ahead and introduced before Shen Xinyue opened her mouth.

“Late generation tan san, meet Senior Shen.”

tan san glanced at the woman in front of him, only to feel a stern and oppressive aura coming, did not dare to be slow, and hurriedly arched his hand and said.

Late Qi Practitioner.

The woman in front of her, is obviously a late stage qi practicing cultivator, strong and powerful, far beyond Xue Tong’s stream.

After all, although the Bug King Xue Tong was comparable to a Qi Practicing seventh layer cultivator, it was only an ordinary Qi Practicing seventh layer, while this woman in front of her was completely different.

She came from a clan and was an official disciple of the Water Cloud Immortal Sect.

One must know that in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the average sect cultivator, regardless of strength or heritage, was far superior to the casual cultivator.

When competing in the same realm, often the victorious party would inevitably be the sect cultivator.

Therefore, tan san did not dare to show the slightest disrespect when facing such a powerful person.

“It’s quite a sight to behold.”

Shen Xinyue nodded, then said, “I heard that you are good at planting Spirit Fields, Hui Spirit Grass, can all of them mature, and what is the total number?”

“Just a first-order Spirit Farmer, in terms of planting Spirit Plants, there are some insights only.”

tan san humbly replied back, then continued, “For the Hui Ling Grass, there are more than 2,900 plants in total, and they have all been harvested by me.

Senior only needs to send someone forward to inspect the harvest.

By the way, Senior Shen, this is a sample that I brought over specifically, please also take a look at it.”

Immediately afterward, he hurriedly took out a jade box from his storage bag.

What was placed inside the box was none other than the mature Hui Ling Grass within his spiritual field.

There was no deliberate selection, only picking up three or five plants inside at random.

Seeing this, Shen Xinyue nodded and opened the jade box, and indeed saw that there were five Spirit Sinking Grasses, lined up, appearing within the jade box.

Shen Xinyue saw this, her face could not help but show a trace of stunned color.

Because this five plants Hui Ling grass, each full of spiritual qi, full color, is Hui Ling grass in the treasures.

If such Spirit Sinking Grass was used to make pills, the quantity and quality of the pills would be able to be increased to a certain extent.

“If the Spirit Convergence Grasses provided by you are all of this quality, for one lower grade spirit stone plus fifty broken spirits, I am willing to purchase them here as well.”

Shen Xinyue even said.

“On this point, please don’t worry senior.

Although the quality of the Hui Spirit Grass has slight ups and downs, there are not many that are of this color.”

tan san hurriedly explained and said.

“Is that so? Word of mouth is not proof, if the quality is lower, I can and will suppress the price here.”

With that, he signaled tan san to lead the way.

More than two thousand nine hundred plants, almost three thousand Hui Ling Grasses, valued at more than three thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, for any Qi Practicing Stage cultivator, it wasn’t a small amount.

She did not dare to be slow since she needed to personally walk up the road.
