He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

"Charge! Chop that stinking old man down!"

"King of the Flood Dragons, please unleash your profound power once more and lead us in another charge!"

The various descendants of the dragon each held their own version of events.

The tassels on the dragon king's head swayed slightly, and his face twitched slightly.

You mere shoddy repairman, you mere shoddy repairman, how dare you insult me!

The Dragon King's eyes seemed to blaze with anger, but he suppressed it instantly. His gaze was deep as he stared at the talisman held in the newcomer's hand, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The sword energy emanating from that talisman was terrifying, giving rise to an instinctive sense of dread.

Like a frog encountering a snake, like a field mouse encountering a night owl, like an insect encountering a spider!

Natural enemy, suppress and win!

The Flood Dragon King lowered his head, knelt on both knees, placed his hands in front of him, and said firmly, "Since a descendant of the Flood Dragon has violated the rules, I have no objection to the Immortal Master's impartial punishment."

Pei Si held the sword and talisman in his hand, feeling the sensation of carrying a banner while wearing a tiger skin—a feeling he couldn't shake off.

"All the water essence and spiritual objects accumulated in this world are offered up as atonement for my sins."

Pei Si, the lion cub, spoke up.

"Immortal Master is willing to give my Flood Dragon King Palace a chance to atone for its sins. I am deeply grateful and cannot express my gratitude. Prime Minister, please quickly go and ask for the 'Clouds in the Blue Sky, Water in the Bottle' that holds water energy in my Flood Dragon King Palace, and present it to the Immortal Master. Also, please present the water-character seal to the Immortal Master."

The Dragon King looked at the Turtle Prime Minister.

The Turtle Prime Minister took small, quick steps to retrieve the two items.

Pei Si lowered his eyes and stared at the Flood Dragon King. This Flood Dragon King remained calm in the face of such a great humiliation; he was truly a ruthless and powerful figure.

Looking again at the dragon in the ravine, its eyes held a strange expression.

Indifference, fear, anger, joy, and a variety of other emotions were present.

He only intended to dismantle the two dragon corpses, but instead, he was given an opportunity.

What God does not take, is to be blamed.

Pei Si's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

"Immortal Master, please accept this gift of atonement." The Turtle Prime Minister presented two items.

A bottle with clouds in the blue sky and water in it, no more than a palm's height, is extremely beautiful. Above it are blue skies and flowing clouds, below it is a river, and two lines of white egrets fly by.

The other is a small seal with a square-shaped beast top.

This beast is quite strange-looking, with a head like a dragon's head, short horns, a body like a lion, claws like iron hooks, and a tail like a fish or dragon. It is called the Water-Suppressing Beast.

A water-based spirit.

Pei Si collected them one by one, and his figure disappeared.

After Pei Si and the others left.

The Dragon King stood up from the ground, casually brushing the dust off his dragon robe, his expression calm as he looked at the people of the Dragon King's Palace.

A young dragon walked forward on its own, its face covered in blood and tears.

The twentieth son of the Dragon King.

"Father, that cultivator actually allowed you to suffer such a great humiliation!"

"Your subject swears that he will kill Xuanjian of Qingcheng Mountain in this lifetime!"

The sound was deafening and awe-inspiring, drawing a response from the people.

"I swear to kill Xuanjian!"

"I swear to kill Xuanjian!"

…………

Canghong Mountain.

"The eerie atmosphere of this red light is truly remarkable."

Pei Si thought to himself, and rewarded the red lantern with a wisp of the original source of the jar.

Pei Si took out the "Clouds in the Blue Sky, Water in the Bottle".

"This old dragon is also educated."

Pei Si had Hong Deng uncork the bottle, and there was nothing unusual; it contained water qi.

Pei Si used the true technique of gathering water to channel the water energy into his body.

One month later.

Pei Si exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his deep eyes.

During this period, when he was hungry, he would roast dragon meat; when he was thirsty, he would drink mountain spring water; and the rest of the time, he would refine water qi.

Now, there are ten streams of water energy within my dantian.

It can be used to build the immortal foundation of [Washing Branches in Rain]!

He summoned the officials and soldiers of the Great Dao to protect him.

Pei Si recalled the Foundation Establishment method and silently circulated the incantation. The spiritual energy in his dantian slowly began to rotate, intertwining and combining with the ten streams of water qi, producing a strange change.

Within his dantian, the rain was extremely heavy, enough to wash away the branches and flood the rivers.

Three days later.

[Promotion Requirements: Establish one of the Yin-Yang Five Virtues Immortal Foundations (1/1), Possess one of the Five Elements Spiritual Objects (1/1)]

Pei Si's aura surged, causing the spring water to swell rapidly.

Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Pei Si made a hand seal, and the spring water transformed into a giant hand that lifted him up.

Pei Si had a feeling that he could control the river water as far as his eyes could see.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the [Comprehensive Mirror of All Trades] trembled slightly, and a wisp of azure light fell and entered Pei Si's body.

"【Innate Dao Seed】: The master of this Dao art possesses an innate seed for refining Qi. If there are no obstacles, achieving the Purple Mansion cultivation level will be as easy as turning one's hand, and as for the Golden Core, it is not impossible to attain! When using spells and talismans, they will be at their full power!"

Born with the potential to attain the Dao, a top-tier seeker of the Dao!

According to the description, Pei Si only needs to follow the steps and cultivate slowly to become a Purple Mansion cultivator, which should be a piece of cake!

In an instant, Pei Si realized that his sense of Qi had become increasingly acute.

[Judge: Pei Si]

【Position: Qi Refiner (Green)】

[Taoist Arts: Gathering Rainbow Qi, Innate Dao Seed]

[Qi Refiner (Blue)] can obtain the Daoist art of [Deduction and Divine Power].

[A Comprehensive Overview of Taoist Arts: Deducing supernatural powers yields twice the results with half the effort.]

[Deducing Supernatural Powers]: "Evolving supernatural powers is unaffected by fellow cultivators on the same path, making the deduction of supernatural powers twice as effective with half the effort."

[Promotion Requirements: Obtain the Purple Mansion Chapter cultivation technique, use a water-based spiritual object to activate your immortal foundation, and prevent at least one fellow cultivator from establishing their foundation!]

Looking at these three promotion conditions, Pei Si could understand the first two, but what did the third mean?

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. So, cutting off someone's foundation—what difference is there between that and wiping out their entire clan?

Pei Si narrowed his eyes, already having an idea.

The "Jiazi Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique" bestowed upon me by my master is now ready for me to begin practicing.

Just as Pei Si was about to visualize the true essence of swordsmanship, he suddenly sensed two auras rapidly approaching.

"Congratulations on your Foundation Establishment, fellow Daoist. I am honored to have you here."

"Hero, it's been a long time! Do you still remember me?"

Pei Si took a closer look.

Hu Long Little Fox.

A woman stood beside him.

The woman was about the same height as Pei Si, wearing a phoenix crown, with skin as smooth as jade, and elegant and dignified features. She wore a fiery cloud robe, and her two round and full white legs were exposed, her bare feet stepping in the air.

Fox Mother!

It definitely has a flavor.

Hu Long is an honest girl, and her mother is indeed a famous beauty in the surrounding area.

Pei Si returned the greeting with a bow and clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, fellow Daoist. I am Xuanjian from Qingcheng Mountain. May I ask your esteemed name?"

The fox mother smiled charmingly and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanjian, you can simply call me Hu Mei."

Hu Mei's seductive charm does fit the stereotype.

"Fellow Daoist Hu Mei."

"Hu Long'er, it's been a long time."

Pei Si responded with a smile, but a sense of unease had already crept into his heart.

Did they come here because they smelled it?

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to overthink it. You saved Long'er back then, and I haven't had a chance to thank you in person yet. Today, it's a fortunate coincidence that you've also achieved Foundation Establishment. It's a double blessing."

"I have prepared a banquet at my residence and have come to invite you, fellow Daoist. I wonder what your opinion is?"

Hu Mei licked her lips and extended a warm invitation.

"Is it just the two of us?" Pei Si asked with a smile.

"Of course not!" Hu Long interjected.

"And me too!" Hu Long narrowed her eyes, which curved like crescent moons.

"Since you have so kindly invited me, how could I refuse? I would like to try your cooking, madam." Pei Si gestured for him to proceed.

Hu Mei smiled sweetly, picked up Hu Long'er, and led Pei Si towards the mansion.
