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

The jade box was pressed under the clutter; it was pure white and looked quite exquisite.

There were also two talismans pasted on it.

Lin Fengmian's heart stirred, and he took out the jade box.

He recognized the talisman; it was a second-tier spirit-sealing talisman.

These talismans are specifically used to seal rare and precious materials such as spiritual herbs and fruits, preventing the loss of spiritual energy.

It is generally only used when storing extremely precious treasures.

Lin Fengmian was overjoyed.

nice one!

He carefully peeled off the two spirit-sealing talismans, moving gently as if afraid of damaging the contents inside.

After removing the talisman, he took a deep breath and gently opened the jade box.

"Buzz—"

A surge of extremely pure spiritual energy erupted from the box!

Lin Fengmian took just one breath and felt a jolt throughout his body, his limbs and bones feeling much more comfortable!

He stared intently at it.

Inside the jade box, something lay quietly.

It was a small, pale golden grass, no more than three inches long.

The roots are intact, the leaves are sword-shaped, and the edges are tinged with a faint golden halo.

The most peculiar thing is that at the tip of the grass blade,

A single, crystal-clear dewdrop condenses within it, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

Lin Fengmian looked at the object, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

This thing... how come it looks so much like the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object described in the book?

He recently prepared for foundation building and specifically consulted a lot of information about it.

In this world, in addition to Foundation Establishment Pills, there is another auxiliary item for cultivators to establish their foundation: Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects!

To establish a foundation, one must pass three tests: the test of spiritual consciousness, the test of physical body, and the test of magical power.

Each level has a corresponding Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, which can help cultivators pass the level more smoothly.

Each one is extremely precious and has a price but no market.

It is even harder to find than the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Because at least Foundation Establishment Pills can be refined by alchemists.

These Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects are naturally born and nurtured by nature; they are rare and hard to come by.

Lin Fengmian's heart raced as he looked at the pale golden grass before him.

Could this thing be the legendary Foundation Establishment artifact?

Judging from its appearance, it should be... a magical item?

The more he looked at it, the more it resembled the real thing, and he was overjoyed.

If it is truly a Foundation Establishment spiritual object, then his chances of establishing his foundation have increased even more!

The three stages of foundation building are all extremely dangerous.

The foundation building of the five spiritual roots is especially difficult.

Because the five spiritual roots require several times more spiritual power than ordinary people, the impact on the meridians is also greater when breaking through the magic power barrier.

With the help of this Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, the success rate can be increased by at least 30%!

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath, carefully closed the jade box, and reattached the sealing talisman.

Then he carefully and solemnly put it into his bosom.

This thing is far more valuable than those tens of thousands of spirit stones!

After taking stock of his spoils, Lin Fengmian was in high spirits.

Instead of resting immediately, he took out another jade tube from his bosom.

It was given to me by Master Yunhe; it was a legacy of elixirs.

This trip to the secret realm made him realize the importance of elixirs.

Now that I have the Foundation Establishment Grass, all that's left is to refine it.

Therefore, learning alchemy is imperative.

With a thought, Lin Fengmian's soul sank into the jade pendant on his chest.

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

Inside the Frozen Cave, all was still serene.

Lin Fengmian came to the willow tree and sat down cross-legged.

He looked up, gazing towards the depths of the jade pendant.

There, the outline of a majestic palace could be vaguely seen.

Enveloped in a thick fog, it was impossible to see clearly.

A hint of gratitude flashed in Lin Fengmian's eyes.

He had previously taken Bodhi Jade Dates, and the medicine's effects went out of control, almost causing him to suffer a qi deviation.

At the crucial moment, a gentle spiritual energy flowed into his body from deep within the jade pendant.

It protected his heart and guided the medicinal power to temper his body.

That spiritual energy was icy cold, yet extremely pure.

Lin Fengmian knew that it was the former owner of the jade pendant who had made the move.

That mysterious being lives in that palace.

Lin Fengmian's curiosity grew even stronger.

Who is this person? What is their relationship with my mother? Why did they save me?

These questions lingered in my mind, but I could not find the answers.

He knew it was too early to think about these things.

The jade pendant left by my mother must hold a great secret.

To uncover these secrets, one must first have sufficient power.

At the very least... we must first lay the foundation.

Only those who successfully establish their foundation are qualified to set foot in that palace and meet that mysterious being.

Lin Fengmian withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and focused his mind on the jade tube in his hand.

start to learn.

……

at the same time.

Tianxuan Sacred Land.

On a mountain peak shrouded in mist.

After returning to her palace, Xia Qingcheng remained restless.

She sat cross-legged on the jade couch, trying to cultivate as usual, but no matter what she did, she couldn't calm her mind.

The spiritual energy circulates in the meridians, but it always inexplicably goes astray.

Xia Qingcheng opened her eyes in annoyance.

"What's going on...?"

She got up somewhat dejectedly and walked to the window.

Moonlight streamed through the carved window.

A cool, silvery glow shone on her stunning profile.

Her brows furrowed slightly, her expression filled with irritation.

The images of those three days keep involuntarily flashing through my mind.

Those three days...

She and him...

Whenever Xia Qingcheng thought of this, she would try her best to restrain herself and force herself not to think about it.

But the more this happens, the more uncontrollably those images appear.

His bare chest, his powerful arms

And then there's that wonderful feeling.

Xia Qingcheng has lived for so many years and has never had any physical intimacy with any man.

The practice of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique requires severing the seven emotions and six desires.

She always did a good job, showing no favoritism to any man.

But those three days...

She had to admit that the feeling was much better than the agonizing cultivation she had endured herself.

At least for that moment, she didn't have to think about those worries.

Upon realizing this, Xia Qingcheng suddenly woke up!

She covered her burning cheeks, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

What am I thinking?!

at this time

"Knock knock knock".

A knock came at the door.

Xia Qingcheng froze, quickly taking a few deep breaths to calm herself.

She turned and walked back to the jade couch, where she sat down.

Under the moonlight, that exquisitely beautiful face regained its usual aloofness.

It was as if the panic from just now had never existed.

Only two faint blushes remained on her cheeks.

"Come in."

Her red lips parted slightly, her voice as cold as ice.

outside the temple.

Ye Fan was getting impatient.

He stood at the palace gate with a respectful smile on his face, but inwardly he was cursing.

Damn it, it takes so long to open a door!

Once I reach the Core Formation stage, I'll show you how to discipline this little slut!

He fantasized in his heart, but dared not show the slightest disrespect on his face.

This is the youngest Golden Core cultivator in the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, and his current backer.

Although he had long coveted her, he only dared to think about her in his heart.

Upon hearing that cold voice from inside, Ye Fan immediately composed himself and put on a gentle and refined expression.

He straightened his robes, pushed open the palace door, and stepped inside.

Under the moonlight, the figure sitting gracefully on the jade couch was still so beautiful.
