Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 257 There is a successor
He Wanying returned with a lot of troubles, and Kang Dabao was at a loss for a moment. He couldn't do anything cruel, but he also didn't want to tie all the disciples he had managed to gather to another chariot.

He only left a letter to the Taoist Heilu who was in seclusion, explaining the matter briefly. He also asked Chu Huer and others who had no friendship with He Wanying to take good care of the couple, and he would not care about them for the time being.

Also, Huo Ying was pregnant, and the head of Kangda, as the "instigator", was not always by her side.

After building his foundation, he realized that he had understood a lot of things. If he could have built his foundation ten years earlier, Chongming Sect might have been able to avoid many disasters.

There are many things that are not beyond human control, but are impossible without great power.

Taoist Hei Lu had explained this principle to Kang Dabao before, but even though he heard it, he did not understand it as clearly as he does today.

Kang Dabao held the two jade beads in his hands, emitting fluorescent light, sparkling brightly in the quiet and simple master's cloud room.

The black bone was lying horizontally one inch in front of Kang Dabao's brow. The silver seal immortal script that was previously printed on the black bone had its strokes changed from silver to gold, and only the last dot was still resisting the erosion of the gold.

It was not known how long it had been, but Kang Dabao, who had his eyes closed, seemed to hear heavenly music in his ears. Xiao Qi and the group of lion insects came out from his sleeves at the same time and started dancing.

Only then did Master Kang open his eyes and saw that the immortal text on the black bone had completely turned into a bright golden color.

At the same time as this change was happening, a Taoist book was engraved in Kang Dabao's mind as if it was given by heaven.

"The True Explanation of the Ancient Original Body of Beiye Palace, Volume 1" Sect Leader Kang read out the name of this technique word by word, and after reading a few lines, he could no longer hide the shock in his heart:
"Universe-level top-grade body-building technique? It's just for laying the foundation for new disciples? What kind of sect is Beiye Palace?"

Kang Dabao thought to himself that even the royal family of the Immortal Dynasty would not be so generous.

Then he moved his gaze to the black bone. The golden fairy text had dimmed, and another fairy text was faintly visible behind it.

Kang Dabao used the jade pendant to try to comprehend it for a while, but his progress was very slow. He thought that if he continued at this speed, by the time Master Kang's five decades of life were exhausted, he would not even be able to comprehend half of this immortal seal.

"Tsk, maybe we really have to go look for the corpse of the Jindan Mountain Barbarian monk?" Sect Leader Kang suddenly had some presumptuous thoughts in his mind. In the past, at such times, he would inevitably reflect on himself.

But now, for some reason, Kang Dabao felt extremely calm, and even seemed eager to try.

The head of the Kang family knew that this was something called "ambition" that had taken root in his heart. He didn't know whether this change was good or bad.

The threshold for practicing "The True Explanation of the Ancient Original Body of Beiye Palace·Volume 1" is relatively low. According to its classics, it is easy to get started, regardless of spiritual roots. As long as one has an average physical body, it is easy to get started.

If a cultivator can fully master the essence of it, even if an ordinary genuine Jindan cultivator uses magic weapons, it will be difficult to harm his body in the slightest.

Moreover, the spiritual items needed for the entry stage are not many. You only need to smear the moon scale stone juice all over your body and then temper your body with yang fire. After a year or so, you should achieve something.

By then, he would be able to fight on equal terms with the Qi-cultivating monks who used magic weapons with just his physical strength.

However, although the Moon Scale Stone Juice is not of high rank, it is considered a rare spiritual item in Yunjiao Province and is not easy to find.

Only some small-scale equipment refining shops would store the leftover scraps from refining magical instruments for a while to see if they could find buyers to sell them.

It doesn't take too many spirit stones to purchase this spiritual object, but it does take some time.

Kang Dabao himself had no time to do it, so he just waited until he came out of retreat and posted a task in the Hall of Good Deeds, so that his disciples could go out and earn some food.

He circulated the Qingyangsong Sutra for several cycles and felt that his spiritual energy was accumulating very slowly. At this rate, he didn't know when he could advance to the middle stage of foundation building.

After Master Kang achieved the Jade Leaf Dao Foundation, his cultivation speed did not increase as he had expected.

If one wants to successfully form the golden elixir within the remaining four decades, it is not an easy task and one still has to practice hard.

Kang Dabao stopped practicing his martial arts and fed a piece of coral to Xiaoqi first. This little guy is still a mid-level first-grade one.

It’s not that Master Kang Da didn’t raise the child properly, but Kang Dabao’s own progress in cultivation was too fast and Xiao Qi couldn’t catch up.

The spirit beasts belonging to "Zang Liu" are used to exerting their strength in the later stages. According to the estimation of the headmaster Kang, at the current speed, it will take another two or three years for this little fellow to advance to a first-class upper-grade spirit beast.
If one wants to break through to become a second-level spirit beast, it will take twenty to thirty years of hard work to have even a glimmer of hope.

It seems that "Turtle Son" No. 2 can't keep up with the cultivation speed of its wild father.

In comparison, the progress of the lion insect swarm is much more gratifying.

Master Kang only feeds them with Yingyue Stone Slabs and Xingfrost Soil at regular times and locations. Over the past few years, the number of lionworms has increased to more than 500, and most of them have advanced to the first-class premium quality.

What is even more surprising is that, after so many years of feeding the lionworms with that piece of star frost soil, Kang Dabao could not see much change in their body shape with the naked eye.

However, the carapaces of these lionworms that have eaten the star frost soil have been completely dyed silver.

Kang Dabao did not find any description of this change in the "Miaocaotang Baichonglun" that he had looted from the Caowu Sect.

However, after all, the Grass Witch Cult is just a Qi training sect, and its foundation cannot be said to be profound. It is normal that it has some knowledge about second-level spiritual insects such as lion insect eggs.

But Master Kang could feel that this change was developing in a good direction. From what he saw, this silver-armored lion worm was at least one-third stronger than the ordinary lion worm described in the classics.

If they continue to be fed with the Star Frost Soil in this way, the group of lionworms in the hands of Master Kang can sooner or later be used as another means besides the Golden Eyes of Delusion.

At least Kang Dabao didn't think that a physical cultivator of the same level like the Toothless Old Man who was not good at Taoism and spiritual weapons would get anything good in front of the Lionworm.

It is estimated that the lion insect swarm can be retained before it breaks through the second stage. If it breaks through the second stage and encounters an enemy like the toothless old man again, there will be no need for the trouble of three people fighting together. Master Kang can easily defeat it alone.

However, according to what is stated in Miaocaotang's Treatise on Hundred Insects, taming insects requires a very high level of spiritual awareness from the owner.

The spiritual power of Master Kang is outstanding among those of the same level, but when it comes to spiritual awareness, he is just mediocre.

The lion insect swarm has not yet broken through to the second stage, so Master Kang can still control it with ease; if the lion insect swarm breaks through to the second stage, Kang Dabao's spiritual power may not be enough.

Thinking about it this way, it is not so easy to use this group of lion insects as another trump card, so we still have to make plans early.

Master Kang waited until his turtle son and the lion insect group had eaten their fill before he put them away. He then started practicing the "Qingyangsong Sutra" again, swallowed the foundation-building elixir he had just received, and concentrated on his practice.

----

It was a clear and windy day, and a majestic golden-winged owl was flying over Qinghan Courtyard as usual. There were many golden-winged owls kept in Qinghan Courtyard, and only the strongest and bravest ones were qualified to patrol around here.

Fei Nan'ao held a high status in the Sheshan Hall of the Fei family in Yingzhou, and Fei Shuhe, as his niece, was treated generously.

The beastmaster assigned to work in Qinghan Courtyard was quite capable. In his early years, he was recruited by the Fei family and served as a garrison soldier in Liangxi Road for twenty to thirty years.

Relying on his ability to tam beasts, he earned a spiritual object for foundation building from the Fei family when his service was over.

But after returning home, the beastmaster was framed by his own son and his spiritual object was snatched away.

The beastmaster spent another 10 to 20 years before he finally found the whereabouts of the unfilial bastard, but he found that his own son had already failed to establish his foundation and turned into a pile of dry bones. With both his path and his bloodline in vain, the beastmaster suddenly lost his motivation and became disheartened. He returned to the Fei family and became a retainer, spending the rest of his life there.

Although this beastmaster has not yet reached the foundation-building stage, he is already one of the most outstanding first-class beastmasters. The golden-winged owl he cultivated is naturally extraordinary.

Just as the golden-winged owl was about to rise, a red dot was seen hanging above the Chongming Sect archway opposite.

Normally, such changes would not be a big deal, but there were not many things going on in the Chongming Sect. Once there was a little disturbance, the Golden-Winged Owl would take note of it and report it back to the Beast Master.

But just as the red flag was about to be hung up, Jin Yuxiao saw an old cultivator with white hair and beard instructing his disciples to take it down.

As a first-class spiritual beast, the Golden Winged Owl was as intelligent as an ordinary child, but it still could not tell the change. It circled in the air for a while and returned to Qinghan Courtyard.

At this time, the beastmaster was taking a nap in the animal garden, and the air was filled with the complex smell of various animals. However, the beastmaster did not dislike it at all, but looked happy to do it.

The golden-winged owl pounced on the beastmaster and rubbed the corner of his clothes affectionately until it got a red fruit in return, then it chattered again.

The beastman stood up with sleepy eyes and walked slowly to Nanny Sun's courtyard.

This beastmaster has considerable experience and skills, and his status in Qinghan Court is second only to Fei Shuhe and Nanny Sun. He is even one level higher than the guard leader who is at the peak of Qi training.

As soon as he arrived, Nanny Sun came out to greet him and invited him to have tea. However, the beastmaster smiled and declined: "Thank you very much, Nanny, but I am just a rough man, so I don't want to waste your treasures."

After the greetings, the beastmaster told the news brought by Golden-Winged Owl and left.

After experiencing the previous changes, he now prefers to stay with those scaly and armored beasts that were born from moisture, and he thinks they are more human.

After hearing the news, Nanny Sun's expression changed slightly. Without staying any longer, she went straight to Fei Shuhe's courtyard.

The latter had just been out of seclusion a few days ago and was now playing the piano with a group of maids. The little bird was still there as usual, flying around the green willows, dancing happily to the sound of the piano, looking very happy.

Nanny Sun didn't want to disturb the young lady's fun, so she waited until Fei Shuhe put away the zither and bamboo before coming over to relay the news.

Ping'er was at a loss as to what was going on, while Yu'er seemed to be thinking about something.

Fei Shuhe showed an indescribable expression when he heard this. He first glanced at the little bird that was still unaware of the situation, then smiled and said, "It's always a good thing. Please ask the housekeeper to prepare gifts, so that when they come to announce the good news, they can also be given away."

"Has the son-in-law come out of confinement?" Fei Shuhe turned to ask Nanny Sun, who replied, "No news yet."

"After building the foundation, people seem to have become much colder. That's right. How many cultivators in the world with hope for the Tao are not like this?" Fei Shuhe said softly, not knowing who she was explaining to, or whether she was happy or sad.

After these words were spoken, Nanny Sun was at a loss for words, and the place fell silent for a moment.
It was not until the maid from the outer courtyard came to report that the elders of the Chongming Sect, Ye Zhengwen and Zhou Yixiu, had come to announce the good news that Fei Shuhe sent Yu'er to welcome them in. Ping'er also put away her playful expression and carefully prepared tea to welcome the distinguished guests.

"Hello, Madam." It was the first time for Ye Zhengwen and Zhou Yixiu to meet Fei Shuhe in person. They didn't know where to start as they were talking about this delicate matter right after they met.

Originally, this job was not theirs no matter where they came from. Not to mention Yuan Jin and Jiang Qing, even Pei Yi would be more suitable.

But the three of them were either in seclusion or refining the elixir, so they couldn't refuse, and they couldn't let Chu Huer explain.

Fei Shuhe could see the concerns of the two men, so he smiled and asked, "The Huo family has made great contributions. I have prepared some nourishing supplements. Please remember to bring them with you when you return."

After leaving Lingtian, the old monk Zhou Yixiu lost all his confidence, especially since he was exhausted recently by his second wife, whom he loved and hated.

Zhou Yixiu was shocked when he heard Fei Shuhe's words. He thought, "No wonder my fellow apprentices always say that my family has no secrets in Qinghan Courtyard. My sister-in-law knew about this not long ago."

Ye Zhengwen almost became a son-in-law of the foundation-building family in his early years. Compared with Zhou Yixiu, the old cultivator, he was much calmer and more composed. He flattered: "Sister-in-law is kind and compassionate, Changyi is blessed."

"Oh, yes," Fei Shuhe pinched lightly with her slender fingers and said with a faint smile, "This baby's name is well chosen." As she spoke, something emerged from her soft hands. It was a jade pendant that was as red as blood.

"This is a gift from a guest alchemist when I got married. It has the effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the bones. Since Brother Yi is my eldest son, I will give this spiritual jade to him to wear. I hope he can achieve immortality as soon as possible and bring glory to future generations."

Ye Zhengwen's spiritual perception ability is extraordinary in the entire Yunjiao Province. Even many local foundation-building cultivators are not as good as him. He is undoubtedly a connoisseur.

When he saw the quality of the jade pendant that Fei Shuhe took out, he knew it must be an extraordinary item.

Not to mention that nothing comparable to it could be found in the huge treasury of Chongming Sect, even in a long-established large sect like the Shan family of Feiyue, it would be difficult to find something of similar quality.

This soul-nourishing jade is not only of the second grade, but it is also a rare foundation item. It is hard to find it in places like Yunjiaozhou.

No wonder Ye Zhengwen felt that Fei Shuhe was very noble when he saw her. This legitimate daughter of a prominent family in the capital was truly extraordinary.

It is a great honor to be able to give such a spiritual object to a concubine's son. Ye Zhengwen felt a little jealous of Kang Dabao, and respectfully took the jade pendant from Fei Shuhe and bowed to thank him.

After all, the two were outsiders and it was not appropriate for them to stay too long. After explaining the matter clearly, they made an excuse to leave and not mention it again.

It was not until the two of them left that Ping'er, who was a beat slower, suddenly realized what was going on. She pouted, feeling very aggrieved for Fei Shuhe.

At this time, Fei Shuhe heard someone break the deadlock: "Madame Lao sent a message to the family, saying that the Kang family is pregnant. Since the two families are in-laws, the Fei family should also show some appreciation."

"Miss, you are just a concubine after all." Nanny Sun asked hesitantly.

"Even if they are illegitimate children, they are still my children." Fei Shuhe interrupted and said, "If there is a child with spiritual roots in the future, it will be in the future. That's it. We will talk about the future in the future."

After finishing these words, Fei Shuhe thought for a moment and added: "Yu'er, please remember this for me. If Brother Yi has spiritual roots in the future, I will write to Sister Yuyao and ask her to marry a legitimate daughter from her family and set a date for the wedding."

Yu'er was shocked and almost lost in thought, and quickly agreed. Nanny Sun heard it clearly from the side, and thought that the young lady's change should be reported to the master as soon as possible.

Fei Shuhe ignored it and went back to the piano room, and the bamboo began to jump on the strings again.

The music reached everyone's ears, changing from the gentle and melodious sound at the beginning. The slender jade pendants danced frequently, gradually becoming more passionate.

The golden-winged owl in Qinghan Courtyard was quite excited when he heard the sound of the piano, and chased a foreign red-collared falcon for a long time.

It was not until it got dark that I realized I had already left the airspace I was originally in charge of and had no idea where I had flown to.

Jin Yuxiao was so anxious that he immediately turned around and flew back, quickly passing over a brand new building below.

A middle-aged foundation-building cultivator with an indifferent look watched the golden spiritual bird leave without saying a word. At this time, a sturdy old man carrying a spiritual corpse came over and said politely, "Chen Gongsheng, let's go, the master is calling you."
