Chapter 350: The Storm in the Middle Stage of Foundation Building
One month later, Biha Cave

"I'm late, and I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Kang Dabao walked in alone and bowed his head. It's been a long time since I came here, but the furnishings have changed. I don't know where the black-shoe Taoist got the chess table from, but it looks pretty good.

"Huh, good progress." The Taoist in black shoes looked at Kang Dabao, whose face was flushed with rue. How could he have the intention of blaming him? He just sighed a little, but he never thought that the latter would achieve a breakthrough at the same time as himself.

After all, going back more than ten years, Kang Dabao was just the leader of a small sect struggling to survive in a corner of Pingrong County, while the Taoist Heilu had already established his foundation and kept a low profile.

I didn't expect that after such a short time, this junior with a less outstanding spiritual root aptitude could be on par with me. Of course, this was related to the fact that the Taoist Black Shoes practiced a superior method, but Kang Dabao's progress was really too fast.

What's even more rare is that his foundation is extremely solid, and it doesn't seem like he has been forced to grow by taking some powerful medicine.

As soon as Hei Lu Daoren finished speaking, without waiting for Kang Dabao to say any useless self-deprecating words, he began to praise:
"How long have you been building your foundation? You have already broken through to the middle stage of foundation building before you are fifty years old, and your foundation has become an ice leaf. Even in a big sect like Hongyi Sect, you are already a golden elixir seed."

"Junior brother, I thought I could become a golden elixir seed in the Liangyi Sect." Seeing that the Taoist Heilu had made further progress in his cultivation, Kang Dabao felt a lot more relaxed.

Yuan Feng's attainments in dual cultivation are indeed remarkable. The combination of the Toad Dew and Osmanthus Fragrance, the Mixed Oneness Knot Method, and the selected Xiang Lan Body and the Ming Fei Image are a perfect match.

With Fei Shuhe, the wonderful creature, as the icing on the cake, Kang Dabao's cultivation was able to go directly from the initial stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building within a month.
This was because Kang Dabao was not cruel enough. He used the proper dual cultivation method and was very restrained, so he did not take the yin essence of the three women.

Practicing both cultivation and enlightenment is the correct way of practicing. With the heaven and earth complementing each other, Kang Dabao is not the only one who benefits.

After Fei Shuhe, who had the weakest cultivation, put on his clothes, he was able to try to build his foundation. After recuperating, he could go to the Fei family in Xuanwei City to borrow a high-level spiritual land to retreat and build his foundation.

The image of Yuan Xiyue's concubine appears even more profound. The Buddhists in the Snow Region have always taken chastity lightly. Even though the eldest daughter of the Yuan family has lost her essence this time, it can be considered a blessing in disguise.

Who knows, when the abbot of Benying Temple comes to Shannan Road again to select a consort, he will look at Yuan Xiyue with a higher regard for her.

Zhang Qingran, like Kang Dabao, successfully broke through the bottleneck by relying on the fusion of soul and flesh and became a mid-stage cultivator. This also saved him more than ten years of hard work, so it is far from being a disadvantage.

At least objectively speaking, these three women and one man can all be said to be happy.

"This Yuan Feng is really a kind-hearted person. I wonder how much thought he put into deducing the prescription he just came up with." Master Kang is indeed a kind-hearted person. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little grateful in his heart.

"You are still a little short of the golden elixir seeds of Liangyi Sect," Taoist Heilu didn't know that Kang Dabao had many thoughts in his mind at this time, and just smiled lightly:
"This trip to Guanshan Cave was a complete success. I helped Chu Yanran kill Yue Lan, Qi Buxiu also built his foundation, Yuan Feng died in the mouth of a monster, which was relatively clean, and your cultivation also improved a lot, which is indeed not bad."

Although the Taoist Heilu did not talk about his own gains, Kang Dabao knew that he must have gained a lot of benefits just by looking at the smile on his face.

I just don’t know how much of it was obtained from the Guanshan Cave and how much was obtained from Chu Yanran.

“Uncle-master, regarding Yue Lan’s death, will the Liangyi Sect take any action?!” After being happy for a while, a trace of worry gradually emerged on Sect Leader Kang’s face.

"I don't know. Normally, they should be happy that there is one less disgusting person. But Yue Lan is the real war hall elder of Liangyi Sect after all. With his death as an excuse, it is not difficult for Liangyi Sect to do something about it.

Even if it is not easy to attack Yunjiaozhou Ting for the time being, but with the background of Liangyi Sect, it is not difficult to send one or two fake Dan out to hunt down Chu Yanran and me. Isn't the Yunwei Zheng family taking the knife for us now? "

The Taoist in black shoes spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Kang Dabao turned serious after hearing this: "Master, what you mean is that the actions of the Jingnan Yuan family were not caused by Yuan Buwen's anger alone, but were instructed by the Liangyi Sect?"

The black-shoe Taoist tapped his knuckles on the low table in front of him and replied calmly, "It's hard to say I'm dead, but it's not impossible."

The head of the Kang family frowned even more tightly and asked softly, "Then, uncle, do you want to wait for a while?"

"It's okay. Yunjiaozhou is still safe. Even though I can't resist ordinary fake pills now, I'm not afraid anymore. As for powerful people, I think Sima Mansion and Yue Family are always watching them. I don't think Liangyi Sect will be willing to give them up."

At this point, the Taoist Heishi sighed softly: "My cultivation experience is still too shallow, and the source of this outside information is too single. Even if I remove all the outrageous information from the information I have heard, I can only analyze this much."

"I will also ask about that boy in private." Kang Dabao thought of the graceful woman at the last page of the album and answered.

"Well, since you said you were going to Xuanwei City to look for Chu Yanran, then you can ask her. It is widely rumored that she has some relationship with Wuwei Tower, which is a powerful force in Shannan Dao and is well-informed." Taoist Heilu gave another instruction.

Kang Dabao's expression changed slightly. He didn't deliberately hide from Taoist Heilu the fact that he was a member of the Wuwei Tower and had read the album of the person who was most likely the owner of the Wuwei Tower.

If the Black Shoe Taoist wants to get information, he can just go and ask. But I still owe Yan Qingwei and Jiang Hongdao a lot of good deeds, and I don't know when I can pay them back.

"Shu He will go back to her parents' home to build her foundation in a while. I will accompany her to visit Madam Qi then." Kang Dabao responded respectfully.

"Well, this is a great thing. After Shu He comes out of retreat, I will also need to prepare a gift for this girl," the Taoist Hei Lu had a look of joy in his eyes, but then he said, "But you need to act faster. Qi Buxiu's foundation has been completed, and Chu Yanran is seriously injured. If you go too late, you may not be able to see her."

"Is the injury serious?" Kang Dabao was a little surprised. Yue Lan was really capable. He was so powerful that he could fight to the death.

"Chu Yanran lost her guard and thought that she had eliminated all the tricks Yue Lan used to help her, but she didn't expect that it was just Yue Lan's diversionary tactics." The Taoist Black Shoes explained a little to Kang Dabao, but seeing that the latter's face was more suspicious, he simply said:
"Yue Lan used Viper Spirit Powder. Chu Yanran was poisoned over time. It was just that she lacked a trigger, so the poison had not yet broken out."

"Accumulated over time?" Kang Dabao murmured for a while, his doubts still lingering.

"What that unfilial son Qi Buxiu did, he had no ability to use against Chu Yanran, so he just handed it over to his old father." Taoist Heilu said in a low voice. Even though a cultivator is used to seeing human tragedies, it is not easy to talk about such things.

"No wonder. Between husband and wife, it is inevitable for their essence and blood to blend." Kang Dabao finally realized what was going on after hearing about Qi Duoluo's beastly behavior.

Taoist Hei Lu has explained things so clearly to Master Kang, so it is not appropriate for the two honest gentlemen to gossip about others behind their backs.

Kang Dabao bowed deeply and was about to return to the sect, but he heard the Taoist priest Heishi say to him again: "When you go to Xuanwei City, take this thing to Shan Gong as well."

A emerald-colored pill bottle full of vitality fell into the hands of the head of Kangda Sect. How could he not know what it was? "Longevity Pill?!"

After Kang Dabao finished speaking, the black-shoe Taoist sitting opposite him smiled even more, with a rare hint of pride on his face:
"My elder brother and I studied Taoism under Master Shan for three months. Although Master Shan thought we were not talented enough and had a master, he did not formally accept us as his disciples. But during those three months, he did not have any prejudice against us.

On the contrary, Master Shan, mindful of our sincere desire to learn the Dao, taught us everything he knew. Now that Hei Lu has made great progress in his studies, he has extended his teacher's life by ten years. If this gets out, it will be considered a good story."

Master Kang naturally had to respond. Although practitioners emphasize that they have an impermanent teacher, they should still be respectful even to a teacher of just one word.

Moreover, it is an indisputable fact that Yin Shangong is indeed very kind to Heilu Taoist and Master He. This is completely different from the relationship between Lang Yi and Kang Dabao where they only take money to do things.

Therefore, not only the Taoist Heilu needs to remember it forever, but even Kang Dabao, who inherited the mantle of Master He, also needs to be grateful.

It was just that it had been a long time since he had seen the Black Shoe Taoist so proud, which made Sect Leader Kang a little dazed. "That's true, even Master Black Shoe is not a perfect man. But he has a good reputation, which is beyond dispute." After Kang Dabao thought about it, he carefully put away the longevity pill, and after paying respects to the Black Shoe Taoist, he returned to the sect.

————Xuanwei City, Fei Family

Fenan was still using the abacus in his large study room. The sound of the abacus wheels colliding with each other was crisp and pleasant to the ears. Even the maids standing by did not seem annoyed by the noise they had made all day.

"Swish" the door was pushed open with a fragrant breeze, and Fei's wife walked in slowly with a frosty face. Fei Nan'an raised his head and reluctantly took his hands off the abacus. Then he dismissed the people around him and pulled Fei's wife to sit down with him.

"What are you angry about, ma'am?" After Fernando prepared some spiritual tea for his wife, he asked in a gentle and cautious voice.

Mrs. Fei's expression did not improve, she just snorted coldly. Sima Fei saw that his little trick did not work, so he stopped pretending to be confused and just apologized:

"There are indeed not many top-grade foundation-building pills in the warehouse. There are only three. One of them is reserved for Shu He. Madam knows all these things."

"Then why did I hear that even the Puzhou Shishan Sect was promised to you? I was just going to get some things, and those penniless men under your command dared to stop me." Fei's wife narrowed her eyes, choking Fei Nan's prepared words.

"Now the Yue family and other native tribes are all making efforts. The great elder of Puzhou Shishan Sect became a fake pill a month ago, and his only son's spiritual roots are very poor. It will be easier to win him over if he is offered some huge benefits." Fei Nan's tone was frighteningly soft. If the arrogant soldiers and generals under the jurisdiction of the Sima Mansion of the state court heard it, they would probably jump in fear.

Seeing that his wife's expression was still as cold as ice, Fei Nan'an immediately knew what the key point was, and hurriedly said, "But this Sima Mansion's treasurer is too arrogant. How dare a mere lowly official offend the madam? I will sign a note to behead him and send him and his clan to the second road north of Liangxihai."

"Then let's do it." Fei's wife closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and responded lazily.

"Ah? This..." Fenan seemed to be caught off guard. The development of this matter was not as he had expected.

"Oh, you just know how to trick me." After Fei's wife snorted coldly, her tone improved a lot.

He continued, "Forget it. Send the treasurer to Liangxi to resist the beast tide and leave it at that. I went to the storehouse to get the foundation-building pills to appease the Yunwei Zheng family for you.

Do you know that, to date, three members of the Yunwei Zheng family have died in battle? Although his family was born in a humble family, they were moved here from a branch of the Yukun Han family, so they are extremely loyal to the Kuang family.

But after traveling thousands of miles, and before he could even get a firm foothold, he was suddenly sent by the state court to destroy the Yuan family in southern Jing. That would be fine, but it would be bad not to give him some compensation for fighting for the country, right? "

Fei Nan'an secretly complained that the ancestor of the Yunwei Zheng family was a very slippery person. He thought that he was no match for Yuan Buwen, who was at the Golden Elixir level, so he hung up a banner of no fight in Baisha County and spread the news that he was injured by Yuan Buwen, who had made a fake elixir of the Zheng family, and his life or death was unknown.

The two families claimed that they had been fighting for nearly half a year, but in fact, among the three foundation-building cultivators from the Zheng family who died in the battle, two were just local cultivators who were found as sons-in-law in Yunjiao Province. They were given three foundation-building pills and several spiritual objects, which was already a great favor. Why are they still not satisfied?

Fei Nan'an knew that he couldn't reason with his wife who felt that she was insulted, so he said, "Next time the state treasury allocates high-grade foundation-building pills, I will send someone to deliver them to Yunwei Zheng's family."

Mrs. Fei was not a person who would make trouble. After hearing her husband's promise, her expression became much better. After all, the Yunwei Zheng family was insignificant in her eyes. So after skipping this little thing, Mrs. Fei talked about Fei Shuhe's letter:

"Shu He said that she should come back to build her foundation within ten days. I have prepared all the spiritual objects. Except for the top-grade foundation-building pills, everything else is exactly the same as Wan Qing's. Do you want to come over?!"

In the eyes of the couple, this matter was much more important than the survival of the Yunwei Zheng family. Sima Fei changed his expression and took the proposal without reading it. He just said softly: "Why should I worry about my virtuous wife's work?"

Fei's wife hid the joy in her eyes and said, "As for your Dan-forming resources, the master has also replied."

"Oh? What did Taishan's letter say?"

Perhaps it was because she saw the excitement in Sima Fei's eyes, or perhaps it was because the news she was about to tell was too good to be true, Fei's wife could no longer maintain her frosty expression, and smiled:
"Dad wrote back that the Kuang family is really stingy and it's hard to change. What's the Dongshan jade that Kuang Liuting gave you? Just throw it away. He has already written to Patriarch Ye Xu, asking him to send an elder from the Fei family to go to the Han family and get a piece of Emperor Yue Stone to give to you in Yunjiaozhou."

"Taishan, this is truly my lady." Feinanwu could not hide his excitement upon hearing this. When it comes to spiritual practice, wealth, land, Dharma and companions are all essential.

The Emperor Mountain Stone mentioned by Fei's wife was a very superior spiritual object for forming a golden elixir, much better than the Dongshan Jade given by Kuang Liuting. With the help of such a spiritual object, Fei Nan'an thought that the probability of forming a mid-grade golden elixir would be greatly increased.

Fei's wife was delighted, but she whispered, "Put away that shabby look, what's the point of it? If there weren't a lot of restless forces in Gyeonggi Province in recent years, the clan would have sent the spiritual objects to you long ago."

"Is Gyeonggi Province a little restless? Is it more than that?" After hearing this, even the joy on Fei Sima's face faded a little, and he asked in surprise.

"Dad only mentioned a few words about this news in the letter, so you don't need to take it too seriously. But the rumor that King Nan of the Kuang family was seriously injured in a battle for treasure with the three real masters of the Blood Sword Sect, the leader of the Lianghe Road, a few years ago is definitely true.

The difficulty of recovery from his injuries is secondary, and his life span may also be affected. As a result, the emperor's life span has exceeded a thousand years, and the Southern King is seriously injured. Therefore, among the three real people in the royal family, only the Northern King will be safe in the short term.

However, he has only been in the Nascent Soul stage for a hundred years, and his cultivation is still in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. The storm is coming. Who can predict what the David Immortal Dynasty will be like a hundred years from now?"

Fei's wife spoke sadly. Seeing Fei Nan's worried look, she continued, "It is true that most of the famous families in the Immortal Dynasty are slightly closer to the Kuang family. But as long as the real person of each family has a thought, they can immediately withdraw.

This is true for all the dignitaries in the court. But the Fei family has no real person in charge, so it is time to think about whether they should really put all their hopes on Kuang Liuting as the ancestor Ye Yu is sure of.

So after you succeed in making the elixir, when you enter the Yingzhou clan elders’ hall, you may also be able to give some advice to the ancestor Ye Xu.”

Fenan frowned, thought seriously for a while, and nodded slowly.

"Madam, what you said is very true. Not only is it difficult to suppress the evil giants like the Blood Sword Sect, but even the righteous sects like the Taiyi Temple and the Dragon and Tiger Sect, which have always been close to the Immortal Dynasty, have lost their relationship with the Immortal Dynasty in recent years.

For this reason, the emperor has even begun to disregard his dignity and take the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect as his concubine, which shows how bad the situation is. "

Fei Nan's tone paused when he read this: "However, if Master can really form a top-grade golden elixir this time, it may be able to extend the life of the Kuang family for hundreds of years."

When Fei's wife heard this, her eyebrows moved and she whispered, "Is that guy from the outer sea really that powerful? As long as Kuang Liuting becomes his direct disciple, will the sects and families in the Immortal Dynasty really stop fighting?"

"How can we speculate about such existence?" Fei Nan'an shook his head and said, "But that's what Patriarch Ye said back then, so it should be so.

There were few real people in David Immortal Dynasty who were willing to help the master achieve the highest grade golden elixir, but no one dared to touch him. Everyone in the royal family was eager for the master to achieve the elixir, but no one dared to help him.

No one knows whether the man in the outer sea has become a true monarch, but one thing is certain: if he had not been indifferent to worldly affairs and had no shortage of support, this immortal dynasty would have changed its name long ago."

After saying this, Sima Fei held his wife's soft and boneless hand and said softly, "This is a time when blood is destined to flow like a river. We can't slow down our cultivation. There are still people who will die."
