Invincible!

Chapter 140 Fiefdom
The Great Zhou Dynasty, the Rising Dragon Pavilion.

A celestial vessel, slightly smaller than Jumang's celestial vessel, slowly came to a stop at the airport.

Although Zhong Lingxiu had not received prior notice and did not know why a celestial vessel would be docking at Shenglong Pavilion Airport at this time, she still led her people to the airport to greet it in accordance with proper etiquette.

As the spaceship came to a stop, a group of people stepped off.

The clothing worn by the middle-aged man at the head of the group caused Zhong Lingxiu's pupils to shrink sharply.

Inner Sect Elder!?

This is actually an inner sect elder who can be considered a high-level cultivator!?

Zhong Lingxiu quickly stepped forward: "Zhong Lingxiu, Pavilion Master of the Rising Dragon Pavilion of the Great Zhou vassal state, greets the Elder."

"No need to be polite."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "My name is Tang Yi."

"Elder Tang Yi."

Zhong Lingxiu bowed her head in greeting.

Then, as if remembering something, a thought struck him: "Did you previously serve as an elder of the Outer Affairs Hall in the outer sect?"

"Haha, not bad. Back then, when you little guys wanted to take on sect missions, you all had to go through a process in front of me."

Tang Yi said with a smile.

"I didn't recognize Elder Tang for a moment, how rude of me..."

"Alright, no need to be so polite."

Tang Yi smiled and took out a box: "I came here today... because a fellow Daoist asked me to bring you something."

Zhong Lingxiu was taken aback, but still accepted the box.

"Why don't you open it and take a look, check the goods?"

Tang Yidao.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingxiu opened the box.

When she saw the pill inside, which was something almost every Innate Realm martial artist longed for, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "This...this is!?"

"One Heavenly Enlightenment Pill. Please check if it is genuine."

Tang Yi said with a smile.

"This... the Heavenly Gate Enlightenment Pill is a third-tier spiritual pill! I am just a minor pavilion master of the Ascending Dragon Pavilion, who... who would gift such a treasure to me?"

Zhong Lingxiu was somewhat flustered.

As the head of the Rising Dragon Pavilion, she only earns an average of one or two hundred yuan a year.

Only when a promising seedling is selected will the profits be higher.

As a third-tier elixir, the Heavenly Gate Enlightenment Pill is priced at 100,000 merit points!

She would have to save up for hundreds of years without eating or drinking to earn that!
"Master Zhong has exceptional insight, which is why he enjoys such good fortune today."

As Tang Yi spoke, he looked at the Heavenly Enlightenment Pill with deep envy in his eyes.

A pill that costs 100,000 units of merit!

If he doesn't go out to carry out sect missions, he might not be able to buy one even in a year.

"Exceptional eyesight..."

Reminded by him, Zhong Lingxiu quickly realized something and exclaimed, "Could it be... Li Xian, Senior Brother Li?"

"Yes, it's him."

Tang Yi had inquired about the situation beforehand and learned that Zhong Lingxiu had only invested some Blood Nourishing Pills in Li Qianlong, who had forged an unparalleled Dao foundation.

At most, it's just a few dozen achievements.

In return, he received a Heavenly Enlightenment Pill worth 100,000 merit points!
What an incredible rate of return!
Several thousand times!
"Senior Brother Li actually..."

Zhong Lingxiu looked at the pill in her hand, her expression filled with disbelief.

The Sword Saint of Guangyuan gave Li Xian a Blood Spirit Powder that was practically worthless, in exchange for a Primordial Pill with 6,000 merit points.

She had hoped her Blood Nourishing Pill would yield a reward of three to five Innate Pills, but...

It's actually the Heavenly Enlightenment Pill, worth 100,000 merit points!?

This was tantamount to Senior Brother Li giving her an opportunity to break through to the Dao Foundation stage.

only……

"This gift is truly too precious. Senior Brother Li received this gift at the sect's grand competition? It must have been bestowed upon him by the sect to assist him in breaking through his cultivation realm. How could I possibly..."

"Take it, Li Qianlong no longer needs it."

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Just three days ago, when I was talking with an elder of the sect, he mentioned that Li Qianlong had already broken through to the Dao Realm and established his Dao Foundation, and... it was an unparalleled Dao Foundation!"

"Dao Foundation!? Peerless Dao Foundation!? It's... so fast!?"

Zhong Lingxiu suddenly looked up.

Not only her, but several other figures behind her were also agitated.

These people were all veterans of the Rising Dragon Pavilion. Less than three years had passed since the last Dragon Leap, and they had a deep impression of Li Xian, who had risen to the top as a dark horse.

When Zhong Lingxiu returned from the sect, they had heard about Li Xian's achievements there, but they never expected that he would actually...

They've already established their foundation!?

“Prodigies like Li Qianlong cannot be measured by ordinary standards. It is incredible that he could reach the Foundation Establishment stage in two and a half years... but that is the truth.”

Tang Yidao.

Zhong Lingxiu appeared dazed.

Daoji!

That's the foundation of the Dao!
The realm that she had sought her whole life but could never attain was crossed by Li Xian in less than three years?

In particular, what he forged was an unparalleled Dao foundation that they wouldn't even dare to dream of? "With Li Qianlong's talent and ability, as long as he can continue to grow smoothly in the future, becoming a true disciple will not be his limit. He may even become a sect's Dao Child and be groomed as the future sect leader!"

Tang Yi glanced at Zhong Lingxiu, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "According to the sect's rules, after achieving the Dao Foundation, core disciples can obtain a fiefdom. However, the construction of a fiefdom often requires a group of people of one's own. Senior Brother Li hasn't recruited many people. If Pavilion Master Zhong were to lead a group to join him now, she would surely be highly valued..."

With that, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, turned, and boarded the boat.

Zhong Lingxiu quickly said, "Elder Tang, the Great Zhou territory also has many local specialties. Could we rest for a day before continuing our journey?"

"Several true disciples, core disciples, and many elders are still waiting for my offerings. The important matter is to be taken care of."

Tang Yi added, "However, I will return again in two months, and then I can catch up with Pavilion Master Zhong."

What past could an inner sect elder possibly have with a mere innate cultivator like her?

It's simply to give Senior Brother Li face.

"We are ready to welcome Elder Tang at any time."

Zhong Lingxiu quickly bowed.

Tang Yi waved his hand, turned around, and boarded the Sky Ship.

Before long, with a roar, the hundreds-of-meters-long spaceship took off and sailed into the sea of ​​clouds.

Only after the celestial boat disappeared did the people behind Zhong Lingxiu come back to their senses, still in a daze.

Among these people, the one most affected was undoubtedly Zhou Juechen, who had already joined the Rising Dragon Pavilion.

"Li Xian has actually forged a foundation for the Dao and become a celestial being capable of entering and leaving the Azure Netherworld... It's truly unbelievable."

He let out a long breath: "A golden carp is no ordinary fish; when the winds and clouds gather, it transforms into a dragon. I knew that the stage of the Great Zhou was still too small for him. Only by going to the world where the Immortal Sect is located can he truly roar like a tiger in the mountains and forests, swim like a dragon in the sea, ride the wind and soar to the heavens!"

Zhong Lingxiu nodded emphatically.

After a moment, she seemed to realize something and turned her gaze to Zhou Juechen: "Did you hear what Elder Tang said just now? With your relationship with Senior Brother Li, if you were to join him, let alone reach the Innate Realm, even entering the Dao Realm would not be a pipe dream!"

Zhou Juechen was somewhat tempted.

He also understood that this would be an opportunity that could change the course of his life.

but……

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to give up the opportunity.

"Let Hongyu go."

He composed himself and said, "Hongyu has now undergone a complete transformation. Although her talent may not be outstanding, it is far superior to mine. If she goes to follow Li Xian, she will have a brighter future."

Zhong Lingxiu shook her head upon hearing this: "What does such a small difference in talent between you and Hongyu mean to Senior Brother Li? Even Xiang Yangsheng, Qi Liang, and Yue Longsha are probably on the same level as Hongyu in Li Xian's eyes. In fact, due to the difference in kinship, they are not even as good as Hongyu..."

However, she ultimately didn't say anything more.

We respect Zhou Juechen's choice.

……

The Great Luo Immortal Sect.

After completing the move, Mr. Li had no intention of holding a foundation-building ceremony.

However, the core disciples around him still sent congratulatory gifts of varying value, just to get acquainted with him.

As for Nangong Feixu, she personally came to offer her a flying sword as a congratulatory gift.

After reaching the Dao Foundation Realm, cultivators can open the Heavenly Gate, which allows them to better draw upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth. In addition, the total amount of true energy in their bodies is several times that of the Innate Realm. With the aid of a flying sword specially designed for flight, they can already fly on a sword.

Of course, it can't fly very far.

"This flying sword isn't a standard product of the sect, and it can still be used even outside the sect's territory. The price... I'm afraid it'll be several hundred thousand, right?"

Li Xian glanced at Nangong Feixu.

"It's only a few hundred thousand. As a true disciple, I can't possibly be unable to come up with even this much merit."

Nangong Feixu said with a smile.

Behind her, Nangong Zhaoying looked somewhat helpless.

Does she have no idea about the revenue situation of the vassal states in recent years?

However, considering Li Xian's talent and future potential...

He ultimately said nothing about the gift presented by Senior Sister Nangong.

"By the way, you've been to the Guardian Hall? What did they say? Where do you plan to choose your fiefdom?"

"Been there."

As Li Xian spoke, he tapped his identity token, and a burst of light and shadow appeared: "Due to some special reasons, the Guardian Hall recommended three fiefdoms to me, but I chose this one."

Nangong Feixu stared at the rapidly shrinking map of light and shadow, first stunned, then her pupils constricted: "The Fallen Star Sea?"

"Ah."

Li Xian said, "Of the three fiefdoms, the Baiyue Mountains are safe, but the returns are too low. Even if developed to its maximum, the annual income will only be around one million. The remaining Huangsha Valley is not bad, but it is located in the hinterland, and it will inevitably become boring if you stay there for a long time. The Jade Dragon Island in the Falling Star Sea is just right. If managed properly, it is not difficult to earn ten million a year."

"In the 108,000 domains of the sect, benefits and risks have always coexisted; otherwise, they would have been occupied long ago."

Nangong Feixu said in a deep voice, "Jade Dragon Island is located in the Fallen Star Sea. It is almost the front line of our Great Luo Immortal Sect's fight against the demon race. The danger there is unprecedented. Almost every year, we hear news of the deaths of many outer sect elders and even core disciples who are stationed there."

“I know, but this is exactly what I want. Like you said, the risk is high, but the reward is also high.”

Li Xian calmly said, "Before I broke through to the next realm, I had already chosen this place as my fiefdom."

Seeing that Li Xian had made up his mind, Nangong Feixu didn't say anything more.

After a moment's hesitation, she said, "When are you leaving? I'll go with you then."

"Ok?"

Li Xian glanced at her with some surprise.

Nangong Feixu smiled and said, "Back when I forged my top-tier Dao Foundation, I was just like you, full of vigor and ambition. I chose the Falling Star Sea as my fiefdom, where I also have a fiefdom. Currently, the fiefdom has been entrusted to the sect for management. I might as well go and see how it's developing there."

After hearing this, Li Xian nodded without giving it much thought.
