The news Lan Yingying brought was actually related to the matter of Zhao Shan'ao that Jiang Peng had previously inquired about.

Recently, a group of evil cultivators of unknown origin has appeared within the territory of Cang Kingdom.

Originally, the Cangshan Sect regarded it as a trivial matter and casually issued a sect mission, sending several small teams led by true disciples to wipe them out.

However, the process of eradicating the virus did not go smoothly.

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator was hiding among them and killed a true disciple. The sect was furious and entrusted the matter to Peak Master Ni Chang... Sister Yin hope's mission is to lead a team to investigate information about that Foundation Establishment evil cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peng looked at Lan Yingying in his arms with a strange expression.

"But what did I do to displease you? You were so charming and seductive when you begged for mercy just now, you must have enjoyed it, so why are you repaying kindness with enmity?"

"Go to hell!" Lan Yingying pinched Jiang Peng, her body twitching twice in the blankets before shifting to a more comfortable position. "The reward for this sect mission is very important; there are three spots to enter the Spirit Transformation Pool."

"The Spirit Transformation Pool?" Jiang Peng looked puzzled.

He was quite familiar with the Cangshan Sect, but he had never heard of the Spirit Transformation Pool.

This sounds like a place where soaking in a hot spring can greatly enhance one's spiritual cultivation.

When did the Cangshan Sect acquire such a treasure land?

"The Spirit Transformation Pool is a secret realm, jointly controlled by the three sects of the Northern Foothills. Each sect can only send five people to enter every ten years... This information is not disclosed to the public, and the selection of these people is not open to the public either."

Jiang Peng suddenly realized that the Cangshan Sect had hidden resources.

What are the benefits of the Spirit Transformation Pool?

"I don't know, but Sister Yinxi said she was determined to get the Spirit Transformation Pool... In contrast, when it came to the Foundation Establishment Pill last time, Sister Yinxi gave up without hesitation."

Jiang Peng raised an eyebrow slightly.

Hearing this, he finally became somewhat interested.

Although Jiang Peng hadn't had much contact with Sun Yinxi, he knew she was a person with lofty ambitions.

Even she could say she was determined to get it, so this so-called Spirit Transformation Pool must indeed be something extraordinary.

However, Jiang Peng did not immediately agree to the matter.

The fact that a Qi Refining disciple is searching for information about a Foundation Establishment cultivator sounds like they're being used as bait, which is quite risky.

Jiang Peng decided to ask her master first.

......

The next day, Jiang Peng met Qin Yuan in the Dan Hall.

He asked about the Spirit Transformation Pool without hesitation, and sure enough, Qin Yuan, as an elder, knew much more detailed information than Lan Yingying.

"The Peak Master of Rainbow Robe actually offered a spot in the Spirit Transformation Pool?" Qin Yuan seemed somewhat surprised after hearing Jiang Peng's account.

"The Spirit Transformation Pool is indeed a treasure trove, but it's not as exaggerated as you think... What you're thinking about is cleansing the marrow and improving one's physique. If that were true, the Spirit Transformation Pool would be far beyond the control of the three sects of the Northern Foothills."

"The sole purpose of the Spirit Transformation Pool is to solidify one's foundation... You've been at the late stage of Qi Refining for over a year now. How does the cultivation at the late stage of Qi Refining feel?"

Jiang Peng thought for a moment and said, "Wait, at my current cultivation speed, it will probably take me another three to five years to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining."

Speaking of cultivation speed.

Jiang Peng couldn't help but sigh that the later stages of Qi Refining were indeed very different from before.

A rough calculation shows that Jiang Peng's monthly cultivation resources are already at the limit that can be achieved at present.

He also practiced the "Dragon and Tiger Skill," refining his spirit and body while simultaneously absorbing Qi, making his foundation extremely solid.

In addition, he had also consumed the rare and precious herb, the Jade Blood Fruit.

With so many layers of accumulation, it would take another four or five years to reach the first level of the late stage of Qi Refining.

Of course, without the Purple Gold Cauldron and the Heavenly Star Sword, his magical power would have improved much faster, but these were the foundation of his cultivation, and he could not give them up.

At the current rate of cultivation, given that Jiang Peng is already over thirty years old, by the time he reaches the peak of Qi Refining and then settles down to prepare for breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he will probably be over forty-five years old.

Qin Yuan was clearly aware of Jiang Peng's situation.

He said with a smile, "Go to the Spirit Transformation Pool, and you can try to establish your foundation within ten years."

Jiang Peng's heart skipped a beat.

"Can the Spirit Transformation Pool improve cultivation and solidify one's foundation?"

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "In addition, it can also bring a cultivator to the peak of their state, the true peak of essence, energy and spirit... If someone is still unable to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in this state, then that person probably doesn't have the destiny to achieve Foundation Establishment."

At this point, Qin Yuan suddenly flipped his hand, and a wooden box appeared in his hand.

"Master, what is this?"

"The Mysterious Heart Leaf was given to me by Peak Master Ni Chang," Qin Yuan said with a smile. "Senior Brother Liu is nearing the end of his life, and I am the only one left in the sect who can refine Foundation Establishment Pills."

"If I'm not mistaken, this so-called opportunity at the Spirit Transformation Pool is actually a special training session that Peak Master Ni Chang is giving to her disciple. You're lucky, kid, that you got in touch with her beforehand."

"It's quite interesting. Senior Sister Ni Chang has always been unassuming and doesn't compete for anything within the sect, and her disciple is also someone who doesn't like to show off. But unexpectedly, the two of them had already made preparations in secret."

This should be the one that Lan Yingying brought back back back then.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Peng said, "I only have a mid-grade spiritual root. I cannot miss this opportunity that can save me ten years of time."

Qin Yuan nodded slightly.

"I will mention this to Senior Sister Ni Chang, but Sun Yinxi will definitely take one of the three spots. As for the remaining two spots, although it seems like a cover-up, if it's a cover-up, then it must be a fair competition... Are you confident, kid?"

"We should at least give it a try," Jiang Peng replied.

......

Qin Yuan agreed to the matter of the Spirit Transformation Pool, so Jiang Peng could only patiently wait for news.

Late at night, Jiang Peng set up a table and chairs in an open space on the summit of Biwu Peak.

A pot of fine wine, a plate of aspic, a plate of sausages, and a plate of peanuts.

In front of Mei Jinhe and Su Zhi, Jiang Peng was enjoying wine and meat, looking very relaxed, which made the two people opposite him drool.

Jiang Peng made up her mind to keep these two arrogant thieves swindling for a month.

Suddenly, Jiang Peng noticed that Mei Jinhe and Su Zhi opposite her had widened their eyes.

Before Jiang Peng could react, a delicate hand reached over his shoulder, picked up a piece of crystal-clear aspic from the plate on the table, and dipped it into the condiment bowl in front of Jiang Peng.

The sound of chewing came from behind.

"Delicious." The voice was clear and bright, with a hint of childishness still lingering.

Jiang Peng's heart jumped into her throat.

He was absolutely certain that the person who appeared so brazenly within the sect could not possibly be a villain.

But despite appearing so silently and even being right behind her, Jiang Peng remained completely unaware.

This made Jiang Peng very uneasy.

So Jiang Peng cautiously turned around and saw a girl who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, who was not much taller than him when he was sitting, staring at him quietly with a pair of clear, big eyes.

Jiang Peng never expected the other party to be like this.

"senior?"

"You should address him as 'Master Uncle'."

"You...you are which senior disciple of yours?"

The little girl's clear eyes widened in surprise.

"Didn't you want to go to the Spirit Transformation Pool? For the sake of Junior Brother Qin, this peak master will personally come and see your worth... I can't let you hold my precious disciple back."
