Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

The power of Foundation Establishment cultivators is terrifying!

Lu Ping obediently found a seat and sat down, quietly enjoying the show.

now.

On the Ascension Platform, a middle-aged couple, guided by a cultivator from the Li family, led a little girl onto the stage.

The three were dressed in coarse linen clothes, suggesting that they were not living well in the ordinary town.

The couple looked at the cultivators around them, all dressed in magnificent robes, and couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes flashing with a strange light.

As the little girl placed her hand on the spirit-testing pillar, the couple's anxiety reached its peak.

A moment later.

The spirit-testing pillar remained unchanged, which meant that the little girl did not possess spiritual roots and was not qualified to ascend to the heavens and become a cultivator.

Seeing this, the couple's eyes were filled with resentment. They glanced at the magnificent robes of the cultivators in the arena. Although they dared not cause trouble, on their way down, they secretly tugged at the little girl's arm, making her almost cry out in pain.

Lu Ping shook his head. Even if the little girl's spiritual root was detected, such parents would not have any ability to support her; on the contrary, they would only hold her back.

On the Ascension Platform, the Li family cultivators secretly lamented that it was a pity. If the little girl had possessed a spiritual root, no matter what kind of spiritual root it was, it would have been a great start.

As the little girl and her family left sadly, six couples, with their children, came to the spirit-testing pillar.

Six children closed their eyes and placed their small hands on the spirit-testing pillar.

next moment.

On a spirit-testing pillar, three colors—green, yellowish-brown, and light blue—bloomed together.

The room fell silent for a moment.

After a while.

"Hiss, this is, this is..."

"This is water, earth, and wood—three spiritual roots!"

"Three spiritual roots!"

"I've only ever heard of three spiritual roots. The young patriarch of the Li family has the aptitude for three spiritual roots."

The exclamations of the market monks subsided in waves, only to surge again, as they wished they could take their place.

It should be noted that most cultivators in Yunzhu Market have either five or four spiritual roots as their cultivation aptitude.

Among the many cultivators in the market, only the young patriarch of the Yunzhu Li family, Li Muyang, possessed the three spiritual roots of metal, fire, and earth.

In other words.

On the Ascension Platform, the little boy dressed in silk and with a wealthy appearance actually possessed cultivation aptitude comparable to that of the young patriarch of the Yunzhu Li family.

Such talent for cultivation is truly enviable.

"Three spiritual roots?" Lu Ping paused for a moment while eating the melon, then continued eating.

Let alone three spiritual roots, even those with cultivation aptitude comparable to the young patriarch of the Yunzhu Li family, or those with earth or heaven spiritual roots, are not qualified to compete with the white light cluster.

Inside the Cloud Ascension Tower, on the Ascension Platform, Zhao Qingyue saw the spirit-testing pillars shining with green, yellow, and blue colors. Her expression seemed calm, but she was constantly making calculations in her heart.

"This child possesses the three spiritual roots of water, earth, and wood; his spiritual aptitude is quite compatible with the cultivation method practiced by Uncle Qi."

"Soon, it will be Uncle Qi's 300th birthday..."

Zhao Qingyue is an inner disciple of the Huayang Sect. Her cultivation level has already reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment, making her a formidable figure even within the Huayang Sect.

The lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is only four Jiazi (60 years), which is 240 years. The Uncle Qi he mentioned could live to be 300 years old, so he must not be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

They are either Foundation Establishment cultivators or Core Formation cultivators...

"Although it's not exactly honorable to seize the Li family's prized lineage."

"But before this trip, the sect elders had given me these instructions."

The Yunzhu Li family, with three Foundation Establishment cultivators, possesses a foundation and strength far surpassing other Foundation Establishment forces.

Under the rule of Huayang Sect, the stronger Foundation Establishment forces pass down their skills from generation to generation, protecting their family's foundation; the weaker Foundation Establishment forces can only retreat to their local areas, spending their years working for the next generation of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Unfortunately, the Li family of Yunzhu was an unexpected troublemaker, with three members reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

There was also Li Muyang, who had joined the Huayang Sect and was already an inner disciple.

In Zhao Qingyue's view, Li Muyang's foundation building was a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, the Yunzhu Li family will become a powerful clan with four Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Li Muyang whose potential is yet to be fully realized.

This is undoubtedly a major scourge.

"Junior sister, go ahead and attack. I'll be there to support you."

Upon hearing He Zhi's telepathic message, Zhao Qingyue nodded and transformed into a streak of azure light, suddenly appearing on the Ascension Platform.

The sudden appearance of a Foundation Establishment cultivator on the Ascension Platform left the scattered cultivators in the market bewildered.

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Yunzhu Li family are well remembered by all the cultivators in the market.

Where did this Foundation Establishment cultivator who suddenly appeared come from? What is his intention in rashly ascending the Ascension Platform at this moment?

When Lü Ping saw that it had transformed into a long blue rainbow and emerged from Dengyun Tower, he immediately thought of the two streaks of light, one blue and one purple, that had headed straight for Yunzhu Mountain that day.

Could it be?

Lu Ping immediately stood up, pulled Zhao Dashan's family, and walked to the back of the crowd, protecting the other cultivators in front of him.

In this way, when the Foundation Establishment female cultivators on the Ascension Platform start fighting with the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Yunzhu Li family, they won't be affected.

Of course, we have to eat melons (a Chinese idiom for gossiping).

However, there are some rules to follow when it comes to enjoying the gossip; you should only continue doing so if you can ensure your own safety.

"My name is Zhao Qingyue, my Daoist name is Qingyue, I come from Huayang Sect, and I am a disciple of Zhao Xuanfeng and Zhao Shangxiu."

"Your spiritual talent is quite remarkable. I wish to recommend you to become a disciple of a senior master. Would you be willing to come with me to the Huayang Sect for cultivation?"

Zhao Qingyue is known for her outrageous statements, always throwing out bombshells.

The Huayang Sect's reputation was renowned far and wide. Even the local tyrants of Yunzhu Market, the Yunzhu Li family, with three members reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, could only rely on the Huayang Sect for their existence.

Furthermore, what is a true person?

Within the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak, and there is a clear hierarchy.

Each of the major cultivation realms also has its own title.

Qi Refining cultivator, Foundation Establishment cultivator, Core Formation cultivator, also known as Core Formation advanced cultivator.

It is known that Huayang Sect is called the superior sect because it has cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage.

First came the Core Formation stage, and only later did the Huayang Sect emerge.

On the Ascension Platform, the richly dressed boy was momentarily stunned into disbelief.

He came to the Ascension Ceremony to have his spiritual roots tested, simply following his father's instructions.

Suddenly, a woman named Qingyue, from the Huayang Sect of the Upper Sect and a Foundation Establishment cultivator under Zhao Shangxiu, offered to introduce him to a Core Formation cultivator.

Compared to the little boy's helplessness, his father immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting loudly.

"My name is Peng Yu, and I wish to bring my son Peng Yan to join the sect."

Lü Ping expressed his strong approval of Peng Yu's immediate kneeling gesture.

The Yunzhu Li family is merely a Foundation Establishment power. Even if there are three Foundation Establishment members in the family, none of them can surpass them among Foundation Establishment powers. So what?

There is no comparison between them and the Huayang Sect, a sect that has reached the Core Formation stage.

As for whether the Yunzhu Li family will retaliate in the future, that's utter nonsense.

Lu Ping had figured out something fishy.

This Ascension Ceremony was organized by the Yunzhu Li family. In previous Ascension Ceremony events, no Huayang Sect cultivators had ever appeared, let alone competed with their Foundation Establishment forces for cultivation seedlings.

This ascension ceremony, however, was contrary to the norm.

It's hard not to think about how the Huayang Sect internally views the Yunzhu Li family.

At this moment, the other slow-reacting cultivators finally realized what was happening and hurriedly shrank back.

Unfortunately, the seats behind them had already been occupied by Lü Ping and others who had foreseen the situation.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyue, isn't this a bit inappropriate...?"

Li Chihuo's deep voice rang out...
