The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

Although Lu Changfeng complained like that, he still waved his hand and set up a protective shield around Ma Changshou.

Under the influence of its immense spiritual power and extraordinary phenomena, this protective shield was useless, not to mention Foundation Establishment cultivators, even those in the early Golden Core stage could only watch helplessly.

After doing all this, Lu Changfeng sat there waiting for Ma Changshou to cultivate his Dao and build his foundation simultaneously.

At the same time, he was also very curious about what kind of strange phenomena would occur under these circumstances!

What?! What makes you think he's bound to have extraordinary phenomena?!

Just kidding, don't you know that enlightenment is the power of my contemplation?

I've thought it through; these mere anomalies are nothing to me.

However, as Ma Changshou continued, the surrounding breeze continued to gather around the willows.

Whoosh!

The next moment, as if controlled by human hands, all the petals in the valley fell down in unison, then rode the wind and spun around Ma Changshou.

At that moment, a familiar face suddenly descended from the sky: Tian Xingzi!

Upon seeing Sect Master Lu Changfeng, he hurriedly bowed and paid his respects!

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Tian Xingzi was also quite surprised to see Lu Changfeng; clearly, he hadn't expected to run into Lu Changfeng here.

"Hmm, what's the deal with longevity?"

He clearly realized that the protective shield surrounding Ma Changshou was Lu Changfeng's doing.

"Sect Master, it's like this!"

He then recounted what had just happened, and Tianxingzi burst into laughter after hearing it.

"Great, that's wonderful!"

"I was worried that my apprentice wouldn't be able to get over this, but it seems I was overthinking it!"

It was only at this moment that Lu Changfeng realized that Ma Changshou was actually the sect leader's disciple.

This is incredible news!

But thinking about it, it's understandable. After all, Ma Changshou's aptitude is top-notch, so it's not surprising that he was accepted as a disciple by the sect leader!

Finally, after three hours, the petals that had been surrounding Ma Changshou began to peel away layer by layer. As the petals fell, the surrounding space began to change rapidly.

In the void, delicate flowers appeared out of thin air, bloomed, withered, and then grew and bloomed again, in an endless cycle.

However, Lu Changfeng's expression changed.

"Holy crap, this is actually the power of time!"

The moment this strange phenomenon appeared, he sensed a trace of the power of time within it.

He immediately flew out of the strange phenomenon. Fortunately, Ma Changshou's strange phenomenon did not restrict entry and exit, so he quickly got rid of its influence.

Although the passive effects of the phenomenon on the Thirty-Three Heavens do not affect one personally due to the unusual phenomena, it is clear to everyone that this is only the beginning, so it is better to avoid it for the time being.

Once he reached the outside of the strange phenomenon, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, he was immediately surprised to see that the sect leader was still inside the phenomenon.

The sect leader was enveloped in spiritual energy, which meant that although he was inside Ma Changshou's strange phenomenon, he was not affected. He even closed his eyes and seemed to be contemplating the surrounding environment.

However, this was only because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. If Ma Changshou were at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, the sect leader wouldn't be so calm and collected; he might have left in a panic, just like himself.

But at the same time, he also felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, reflection, and

Instead of thinking about leaving, he actually took this opportunity to gain some insight!

No wonder he's the sect leader!

Finally, Ma Changshou successfully established his foundation, and he also consciously withdrew the phenomena that indicated his foundation establishment.

"Thank you for protecting me, senior!"

"Master, I've reached the Foundation Establishment stage! Hehehe!"

Seeing Ma Changshou like this, the sect leader was both amused and exasperated.

"You little rascal!"

"Alright, you've reached Foundation Establishment and possess such a powerful phenomenon. What do you plan to call this phenomenon?"

Although both of them knew the effects of Ma Changshou's extraordinary phenomenon, the naming still had to be done by Ma himself.

"Yes, flowers bloom and wither, that's what they call flourishing and decay!"

The sect leader nodded in approval of the name.

"Excellent, excellent! The cycle of withering and flourishing is very vivid!"

"Alright, now that the knot in our hearts is untied, let's say goodbye to Lu Changfeng and head back!"

Hearing that the sect leader could actually call Lu Changfeng by name, Ma Changshou was quite surprised.

After all, although Lu Changfeng was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, there was still a certain gap between him and the sect leader. But regardless, since the sect leader could call him by name, he was clearly not a simple person.

"yes!"

After a brief chat and an exchange of communications, he left with the sect leader.

Even now, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but shake his head.

"It seems the cultivation world is about to produce a truly extraordinary figure!"

Ma Changshou possesses excellent aptitude and an Evergreen Body, meaning his lifespan is ten times that of cultivators of the same level. Originally, there was a difference in combat strength, but this has now been compensated for by the withering and flourishing phenomenon.

You could say he's a well-rounded individual now.

He then glanced at the time and realized it was almost time to get off work, so he immediately rode his little motorcycle back to the inn.

However, upon their arrival, Li Mingfei brought some big news.

"Brother Lu, big news! The mall has sent ten people to open branch stores of Luoyun Mall in the surrounding area!"

"One of them is Li Bing. He didn't see you when he came over, so he asked me to tell you that he's treating everyone at Tianyuan Private Kitchen tonight, and he hopes you'll do him the honor of joining him!"

He was naturally quite pleased to hear that someone was treating him to a meal.

"Not bad, I didn't expect Li Bing to actually get involved!"

Li Bing is not himself. For him, the benefits of being sent abroad outweigh the risks, making it a good place for him!

If managed well, he could even create a cultivation family through this.

That evening, Lu Changfeng and Li Mingfei arrived at Tianyuan Private Kitchen.

As soon as he arrived, Li Mingfei greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Lu, you're here! Please have a seat!"

After everyone else he had invited had arrived, Li Bing raised his glass and said with a smile,

"Brother Lu, when I first started working in the mall, I thought you weren't going to amount to anything. But later I realized I was wrong, terribly wrong!"

"I want to thank you here; without you, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today!"

"I'll drink this one!"

After a few drinks, the atmosphere in the private room began to liven up.

After they had drunk their fill, Lu Changfeng finally asked,

"Li Bing, which fairy tale shop are you opening this time?"

In Lu Changfeng's mind, Luoyun Marketplace's business mainly targeted cultivators, and its outposts would definitely be within the Immortal Marketplace. However, the result was beyond his expectations.

"Hehehe, Brother Lu, not in the Immortal Pavilion, but in the Great Zhou!"

Before Lu Changfeng could speak, Li Mingfei, who was standing next to him, was shocked.

"What, the Great Zhou?"

"Where is my hometown?"

Now it was Li Bing's turn to be surprised.

"What? You're from the Great Zhou? That's great! Maybe my business will need your support in the future!"

Although he knew that Li Mingfei's father was the King of Jin, he didn't really know the specific country. After all, there were many countries in the mortal realm, and there were just too many kings and princes.

I never expected that Li Mingfei was from Da Zhou. If that's the case, with his help, my business will be much easier!

Li Mingfei was quite pleased with himself after Li Bing said that.

"Of course, of course. My father is now called the Regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Emperor's influence in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not as great as my father's!"
