The Confucian and Taoist Sages of Mortal Cultivation

Chapter 100 Foundation Establishment Completed

In the Bloodstained Forbidden Land, inside the pavilion atop the ring-shaped mountain range, a swirling blue wind appeared out of nowhere.

Yang Qingyuan, Chen Qiaoqian, and the Mo family mother and daughter emerged from the whirlwind and looked around.

"Unbelievable!" Chen Qiaoqian's beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment as she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "My husband can actually freely enter the Crimson Forbidden Land! It's like he's possessing an entire paradise all to himself!"

Yang Qingyuan smiled and replied, "It's not just me; from now on, you will all be the mistresses of this grotto."

"The medicinal herbs and demonic beasts here will be left to the ladies to manage."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoqian's heart stirred. With these medicinal herbs that were hundreds of years old, she would not lack cultivation resources during her Foundation Establishment stage.

"Did that Senior Nangong also know about the Crimson Forbidden Land?" Mo Caihuan changed the subject and inquired about Nangong Wan.

"That's right," Yang Qingyuan chuckled. "Speaking of which, Wan'er and I met in the Blood Forbidden Land."

"Let's go, I'll find you a place to stay."

After saying that, Mo Yuzhu took out a spirit pet bag and released the Mo Jiao.

The group rode on the black dragon and headed straight for the blue stone palace in the basin.

At this moment, the stone hall was shrouded in a blue dome.

"This formation doesn't seem to be an ancient restriction," Chen Qiaoqian blinked and asked, "Could it be that you, my husband, set it up?"

Before Yang Qingyuan could reply, a crack appeared in front of the light screen.

A woman in blue and a girl in white emerged from the gap.

Both women were at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but their cultivation was not yet stable. It seemed that they had just established their foundation not long ago. They were Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei, mistress and servant.

"Young Master, you're back!" Xiao Mei was overjoyed to see Yang Qingyuan.

Seeing that the two women had both broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Yang Qingyuan praised them, saying, "Very good. It seems that the Foundation Establishment Pills I left for you were not wasted."

Xin Ruyin then sized up Chen Qiaoqian and the Mo family mother and daughter, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she asked, "Husband, who are these people?"

When Chen Qiaoqian heard the woman in blue address her as "husband," she couldn't help but feel wary.

Yang Qingyuan then introduced Chen Qiaoqian and the other women to Xin Ruyin's mistress and servant.

"I see." Seeing that Chen Qiaoqian was superior to her in both talent and appearance, Xin Ruyin felt a sense of urgency, but she remained calm on the surface and replied, "Then we are sisters from now on."

Xiao Mei chimed in, "I was just feeling that the secret realm was a bit deserted, but now that so many sisters have come, it's become lively."

Yang Qingyuan then took out a jade slip inscribed with the runes of an ancient teleportation array and handed it to Xin Ruyin, instructing her, "Ruyin, take a look at the incomplete array in this jade slip. How long will it take to repair it?"

Xin Ruyin took the jade slip, released her divine sense to examine its contents, and pondered, "Ah! It's actually the diagram of an ancient teleportation array."

Fortunately, the teleportation array wasn't badly damaged; it was only missing a corner.

"I have now reached the Foundation Establishment stage and have also cultivated the Great Evolution Technique, making further progress in the art of formations."

"It will take at most three months to figure out this teleportation array."

"It can even be slightly improved so that the teleportation array, in conjunction with the Great Teleportation Order, can teleport three or four people at once."

"However, my husband, the materials needed to repair this teleportation array are quite numerous."

Yang Qingyuan had already obtained many array materials from the Yan family's treasury when he was in Yan Family Fortress, so he wasn't worried. He replied, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the materials. You can focus on repairing the array diagram."

Immediately afterwards, he took out several bottles of pills from his storage bag and distributed them to the women, instructing them to cultivate diligently. Then he went straight to the underground swamp of the Blue Stone Hall, took out a large number of spiritual herbs, transplanted them into the herb garden, and went into seclusion again.

Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon pass like a shuttle. There is no sun or moon in the Bloodstained Forbidden Land, and a year is but a blink of an eye.

During this time, Xin Ruyin finished repairing the teleportation array diagram and handed the complete diagram to Yang Qingyuan.

Moreover, thanks to her breakthrough in the Foundation Establishment stage, her mastery of formations has improved, so this repair plan for the teleportation array is also an enhanced version.

After repairing the teleportation array according to this plan, it can be used with a Great Teleportation Order to teleport two or three people.

As for the hundreds of materials needed to repair the teleportation array, they could all be found in the Yan family's treasury, which saved Yang Qingyuan a lot of effort.

During this period, Yang Qingyuan also consumed the eight Heaven-Mending Pills, but after a year, he had only managed to refine one-tenth of their medicinal properties.

Even so, it improved Yang Qingyuan's spiritual root aptitude and increased his cultivation speed by about one-tenth.

In addition, during this period, Yang Qingyuan successfully refined more than a hundred Guiling Pills, Yin Yang Qi-replenishing Powders, and Yuan-dividing Pills, and finally raised his cultivation to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, which is the pseudo-core stage. He stopped at the bottleneck of Core Formation and could hardly advance any further.

On the contrary, the simultaneous breakthroughs of the second level of both the "Outer King Inner Saint Technique" and the "Great Evolution Technique" allowed Yang Qingyuan's divine sense to more than double again, making him comparable to a cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation.

The adult level four demonic beast, the "Blood Jade Spider," was also subdued by Yang Qingyuan.

After consuming a large number of Spirit-Feeding Pills, the Ink Dragon successfully broke through to the fourth level. However, because it was a dragon, it could easily crush the Blood Jade Spider, which was also a fourth-level demon beast. Moreover, its flying speed was so fast that it caught up with the early stage of Core Formation cultivators.

The two Blood Jade Spider demon beast eggs also hatched successfully. After being fed a large number of Spirit Feeding Pills, they grew to the size of a fist within a year, comparable to a level one demon beast.

After Yang Qingyuan entered the Pseudo-Core stage, his magical power also became much more refined. In addition, the magical power he cultivated from the "Divine Sword Thunder Control Scripture" was inherently more abundant than that of other cultivators of the same level, allowing Yang Qingyuan to wield the two fragments of the Chen family's magical treasures.

The scroll itself forms a separate space, somewhat similar in effect to the Qiankun Tower talisman, capable of capturing an enemy's magical artifacts and spells, and even drawing the enemy into it.

As for the broken pen, it can enhance supernatural abilities such as painting and calligraphy.

Both fragments of magical artifacts were quite powerful, which gave Yang Qingyuan the idea of ​​repairing them.

Of course, repairing magical artifacts is something that can only be done after one has reached the Core Formation stage.

Meanwhile, Chen Qiaoqian, Xin Ruyin, and the Mo family mother and daughter managed the secret realm very well during this period. They not only opened up more than a hundred spiritual herb resource points, but also kept the monsters in the secret realm under their control.

Seeing that his cultivation could not be improved, Yang Qingyuan had the idea of ​​going to the Chaotic Star Sea. After informing Chen Qiaoqian and the other women, he activated the Divine Wind Token and left the Crimson Forbidden Land.

He had barely arrived at the ancient tomb in Eagle's Sorrow Gorge when a strange noise came from his storage bag.

It turned out that the communication talismans and communication tokens in the storage bag had received many messages since the isolation of the secret realm was gone.

Yang Qingyuan first took out Nangong Wan's communication token and began to investigate it, then his expression became uncertain.

This message came seven days ago, and it was only received now because of the obscuring effect of the secret realm.

Nangong Wan then informed Yang Qingyuan that the seven allied forces of Yue suffered a major defeat at Jingu Plain, with heavy casualties. Although they had re-established a camp on the second line of defense, defeat was already inevitable.

The reason for the defeat was that the cultivators of Spirit Beast Mountain had opened the forbidden array on Golden Drum Plain without authorization, allowing the army of the six demonic sects to enter.

Nangong Wan then informed Yang Qingyuan that she had safely evacuated Yue Kingdom with the core disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect.

Yang Qingyuan was relieved to learn that Nangong Wan had left, and then opened Lei Wanhe's communication token to investigate.

Lei Wanhe also informed Yang Qingyuan that the Yue Kingdom had suffered a great defeat and told him to go to Yangtianling to meet with Nie Ying and the Lei family. He would then personally escort them to evacuate the Yue Kingdom.

Yang Qingyuan naturally wouldn't meet with Lei Wanhe again. He put away the numerous communication talismans, mounted the ink dragon, and headed straight for the mine.
