Mortals: Practice the Three Thousand Great Ways to Gain Eternal Life

Chapter 37 Sorry, I had a breakthrough while practicing!

Three days passed in a flash, and the Ascension Conference of the Seven Sects of Yue State officially ended.

With the help of the talisman given by Lin Shou and two managers from Huangfeng Valley, Nie Ying won the seventh place, shocking many managers from the seven sects.

But this time, because of Han Li, only nine of the top ten people in the Huangfeng Valley Ascension Conference were able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Therefore, on the way back to Huangfeng Valley, the two managers of Huangfeng Valley personally took Han Li back to Huangfeng Valley, for fear that any accidents might occur on the way.

After all, the Ascension Order is of great significance and Han Li must not be allowed to encounter any problems on the road. Otherwise, all the immortal cultivation families that possess the Ascension Order of Huangfeng Valley may have other thoughts, especially it will have a significant impact on the reputation of Huangfeng Valley.

Now, because of the apprenticeship ceremony between Lin Shou and Lei Wanhe, Huangfeng Valley has become second only to Yanyue Sect in fame among the seven sects of Yue State. Naturally, there cannot be any problems in this situation.

Among the top ten in the Huangfeng Valley Ascension Conference, there is one person each from the Dong family, the Chen family, and the Feng family. Then, among the remaining seven, only two are independent cultivators, but their rankings are not low, one is fourth and the other is fifth.

Therefore, the two were not worried that they would not be able to get the Foundation Establishment Pill, otherwise, the reputation of the Huangfeng Valley Ascension Conference would also be damaged.

But there is only one person who is most worried, and that is the only one who is a descendant of the Ye family, a family of immortal cultivation.

It’s not that he is the last one at the end, but the people behind him are Dong Xuaner, the daughter of the Dong family, one of the three major immortal cultivation families in Huangfeng Valley, and a person with wind-attributed spiritual roots.

Although he is not yet a disciple of the Huangfeng Valley, this disciple of the Ye family is very clear about the rules of the Huangfeng Valley. People with different spiritual roots must have a foundation-building pill.

As for Miss Dong Xuan'er of the Dong family, her status is naturally not comparable to his. In this case, his chance of losing the Foundation Establishment Pill is undoubtedly the greatest.

Therefore, he hated Han Li, the man who showed up with the Ascension Order.

But there is nothing we can do about it. Firstly, it is impossible to do so. Secondly, even if we can do it, we dare not do it because we will surely die.

So we can only hope that the elders in Huangfeng Valley can argue with reason.

After all, he is the eighth.

Like Han Li and Lin Shou, although they knew each other, they pretended not to know each other and just greeted and bowed and ended the conversation.

For Lin Shou, anyway, what Lei Wanhe had instructed had been completed, and the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill had nothing to do with him.

Nie Ying also entered the Huangfeng Valley with the seventh place in the Ascension Conference and became Lei Wanhe's second disciple. Lin Shou's junior sister received a foundation-building pill.

Lin Shou remembered that there would be two more junior brothers with thunder-attributed spiritual roots.

……

On the second day after returning to Huangfeng Valley, Lin Shou, who had rested for a night, was preparing to practice in seclusion when his new junior sister Nie Ying came to him.

"Big Brother, is this the foundation-building pill? When do you think I should take it?"

After the host and the guest sat down in the hall of the cave, Nie Ying bowed and took out the foundation-building pill she had obtained. She stared at Lin Shou with her eyes, bright as stars, and asked softly.

Compared with other men, Nie Ying has a very good impression of her senior brother Lin Shou.

After all, if it weren't for Lin Shou's help, it would have been impossible for her to even get into the top ten, let alone rank seventh in the Ascension Conference and obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Therefore, she, who was arrogant and aloof in front of other people, especially other men, was not much different from ordinary brothers and sisters when she met and talked with Lin Shou.

"This is naturally the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, the chance of success is the highest at that time."

Lin Shou shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"Now you just need to practice in seclusion and strive to break through the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Stage as soon as possible, so that you can take the Foundation Establishment Pill to build your foundation. As for the rest, don't worry about it, just focus on your seclusion. With your qualifications, could it be that the sect has arranged some trivial tasks for you to do?"

"That's not the case. It's just that I'm only at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage now. If I want to break through to the thirteenth level, even if I advance one level a year, it will take at least four or five years to build the foundation. It's a bit too long." Nie Ying shook her head slightly, obviously feeling that her cultivation speed was a bit slow.

"Didn't Master give you some medicinal pills as a reward? With the help of our sect and the Nie family, I believe it won't take that long. Junior Sister, don't worry too much."

Lin Shou chuckled and consoled him.

"What Senior Brother said is also very true. However, if I have any doubts about cultivation, can I come and ask Senior Brother for advice?"

Nie Yingyu's face showed anticipation, and her starry eyes stared at Lin Shou eagerly, fearing that Lin Shou would refuse.

And Lin Shou really did not "disappoint" her. Lin Shou thought about it and explained embarrassedly.

"This may be difficult. First, I often practice in seclusion. Second, I am a cultivator with natural spiritual roots. There is no bottleneck before the Jindan stage. Therefore, in most cases, I can break through while practicing. As for the comprehension, there are really not many. Before the Jindan stage, you only need to practice to break through naturally. So, Junior Sister Nie is really sorry."

When Nie Ying heard the words "you will achieve a breakthrough through practice", she felt envious but also a little sad.

"I understand, thank you, Senior Brother."

Nie Ying nodded slightly, and forced a smile as she had not achieved her goal.

"Junior Sister Nie, there is no need to be so depressed. There are so many senior brothers, sisters, and uncles in the sect. With Junior Sister Nie's status, as long as you ask, they will definitely not refuse."

Seeing this, Lin Shou continued to comfort her.

"Big Brother is right. I was negligent."

Hearing this, Nie Ying sighed inwardly.

But Lin Shou changed the subject at this time.

"Junior Sister Nie, do you know who got the last foundation-building pill?"

"It's in the hands of Junior Brother Ye. Uncle Ye exchanged it from Junior Brother Han who had the Ascension Order. It's said that he paid a considerable price for it. It's really enviable."

Hearing this, Nie Yingtan spoke softly.

"Is that so! What is there to be envious of after losing a foundation building pill? After all, this is the hope for building the foundation."

Lin Shou shook his head.

"But, Senior Brother, even if Junior Brother Han didn't exchange the foundation-building pill, with his four-attribute pseudo-spiritual root qualifications, the chance of successfully building the foundation is less than one percent, which is too low. It is better to exchange it for something useful. Moreover, a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. Junior Brother Han is a smart man,"

Nie Ying continued.

"Well! Junior Sister, what you said is quite good. What kind of mission did Junior Brother Han choose?"

Lin Shou showed an expression of approval on his face, nodded and asked again.

"It seems to be a job at Baiyao Garden. I didn't ask too much."

Nie Ying shook her head slightly and said apologetically.

"It's okay, I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Lin Shou chuckled.
