After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

He flew on his sword, heading towards the mountain range near the Hehuan Sect.

After returning, I will see Nangong Li and Chu Qingyi.

Those two beauties, let alone being unable to resist them...

They themselves are probably itching to have a passionate and intimate encounter.

But Lin Fengmian was very clear about it.

Now that I am about to establish my foundation, I must preserve my pure Yang essence.

Dual cultivation is good, but it should be done in moderation!

Let's get the foundation-building thing sorted out first.

Before long, Lin Fengmian arrived at that familiar mountain range.

He first arrived above the wolf den he had previously visited.

Looking down, the area below was a complete mess.

The ground was littered with the corpses of demon wolves, stained with blood, clearly indicating that a great battle had taken place.

But the bodies of the two cultivators were not found, not even a corner of their clothes remained.

It seems they've successfully broken through.

Lin Fengmian raised an eyebrow.

What a pity, what a pity.

They're pretty lucky to be alive.

He muttered to himself, a cold smile playing on his lips.

But it's okay.

Once he has established his foundation, he will personally go and seek an explanation for what happened at the Pill Peak.

In that instant, he flashed down and landed.

Remove the sharp teeth from the corpses of those demon wolves one by one.

These are all good items that can be exchanged for contribution points, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After collecting everything, Lin Fengmian happily took to the air on his sword and quickly found a hidden cave.

The cave is hidden in a secluded location, and the entrance is covered by vines, making it difficult for people to find.

Lin Fengmian entered the depths of the cave and sat down cross-legged.

A thought arises—

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

……

Frozen Cave Heaven.

White mist swirled, and spiritual energy surged like a tide.

Lin Fengmian's figure flashed and he appeared next to the spirit field.

Looking around, the five Foundation Establishment main herbs were growing quietly.

The branches and leaves are spread out and brightly colored, even more pleasing than when they were first picked.

Moreover, it seems that the years have increased considerably.

This is also one of the wonderful uses of the jade pendant space—spiritual herbs grow here much faster than in the outside world, and their age also increases accordingly.

Lin Fengmian nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad, little earth spirit did a good job."

The words had barely left his mouth—

"Owner!"

A pink shadow suddenly pounced over and hugged Lin Fengmian's leg tightly.

Lin Fengmian looked down and saw that it was Little Earth Spirit.

Pink hair, fluffy fox ears, and a big tail wagging happily behind it.

She was looking up at him with her little face upturned, her eyes sparkling, full of anticipation.

Lin Fengmian chuckled and reached out to pat her head:

"Little Earth Spirit, thank you for taking care of my medicinal herbs."

The little earth spirit squinted its eyes, looking completely blissful, as he stroked it, and wagged its tail even more enthusiastically.

"My owner praised me! I'm so happy!"

Lin Fengmian smiled, then suddenly remembered something.

A thought struck him, and he asked:

"Little Earth Spirit, your previous master said that I could only go to her after I reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Upon hearing this, the little earth spirit nodded:

"Yes! That's what Master said before he fell into a deep sleep."

Lin Fengmian nodded.

That mysterious woman, who was able to leave such a legacy in the jade pendant, must have been no ordinary person.

Since she said that, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

"Okay, don't worry." Lin Fengmian rubbed the little earth spirit's head again. "I'm about to establish my foundation, and I'll definitely go help your master then."

Upon hearing this, the little earth spirit's eyes lit up even more:

"Really? Thank you, Master!"

"Hehe, you're welcome."

……

After seeing off the jubilant little earth spirit, Lin Fengmian picked the five Foundation Establishment main medicinal herbs.

He then took out the alchemy furnace he had purchased from Wanbaoge from his storage bag.

He placed the alchemy furnace under the mystical willow tree and sat cross-legged.

He took out the Foundation Establishment Pill formula jade tube given to him by Yun Caiyue from his bosom and stuck it to his forehead.

His consciousness sank in.

After a few incense sticks had burned, Lin Fengmian opened his eyes, his gaze clear and bright.

With his foundation as a second-tier alchemist, coupled with the willow tree's miraculous ability to enhance comprehension, he had a thorough understanding of the method for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

"We can begin."

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath and formed a hand seal.

Pure spiritual energy surged from within his body and poured into the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace slowly floated up and hung in mid-air.

With a thought, Lin Fengmian sent a wisp of pure yang true fire rising from his palm and disappearing into the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

Flames leaped, and the alchemy furnace gradually heated up.

It looks like it's almost done—

"Open the furnace!"

Lin Fengmian gave a low shout, and one by one, the main medicinal herbs for Foundation Establishment flew up and landed precisely into the alchemy furnace.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Flames flickered and liquid churned.

Under Lin Fengmian's skillful control, everything proceeded smoothly.

Time passed slowly.

finally--

"Freeze!"

Lin Fengmian made a hand seal to extinguish the fire.

The furnace was shaken slightly, and the lid opened automatically.

Twelve streams of light flew out of the furnace and were collected into a jade bottle he had prepared beforehand.

Lin Fengmian picked up the jade bottle, poured out the pills, and examined them closely.

The twelve Foundation Building Pills were all plump, round, and glossy.

Three of them even had a faint jade-like luster, and their fragrance was so strong that it almost solidified.

Top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill!

Lin Fengmian was overjoyed.

Pills of the second rank and above are classified into top-grade, fine-grade, and superior-grade according to their efficacy and purity.

Top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills are priceless treasures!

He nodded in satisfaction, picked up a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, and put it in his mouth.

The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, transforming into a warm current that flowed into the dantian.

Then--

Then there is no more.

Lin Fengmian was stunned.

Within his dantian, the warm current of energy rippled gently a few times before returning to calm.

Like a clay ox sinking into the sea, it vanished without a trace.

Surprisingly... I only felt a slight sensation?

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched.

For ordinary cultivators, taking a Foundation Establishment Pill will cause the mana in their dantian to boil, reaching the critical value for Foundation Establishment.

But his top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill only caused a slight ripple?

It's like throwing a small pebble into a large lake; it's completely inconspicuous.

Lin Fengmian finally understood what the mysterious woman had said in the cave.

What was with that meaningful expression on his face when he said, "Come find me again after you've established your foundation"?

She must have noticed the uniqueness of his five spiritual roots.

These five spiritual roots... they really are a bottomless pit!

Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth.

He still didn't believe it!

One isn't enough, ten! A hundred, perhaps!

He did not continue to waste the Foundation Establishment Pills, but sat cross-legged again.

Keep practicing!

……

three days later.

Inside the Frozen Cave.

Lin Fengmian sat cross-legged under the willow tree, his hands forming a mudra, his expression focused.

The alchemy furnace hung in front of him, its flames flickering erratically.

"Freeze!"

He gave a low shout and made a hand seal to extinguish the fire.

The furnace was shaken slightly, and the lid was lifted.

Fifteen streaks of light flew out and landed in the jade bottle.

Lin Fengmian picked up the jade bottle to examine the results of this batch.

Fifteen Foundation Establishment Pills, five of which are of the highest grade!

Including the ones he had refined before, he had refined a total of five batches of pills in the past three days.

In total, I obtained sixty-two Foundation Establishment Pills, eighteen of which were top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills!

Lin Fengmian's lips curled into a smile.

He looked up at the gray sky and said loudly:

"Have you not heard that Heaven always finds a way out?"
