Cultivation: I have an inventory

Han Yu's beast control skills are indeed worthy of praise. Unlike Zhu Youlong, he does not have a master's inheritance. He is a true casual cultivator who has worked his way up from the bottom to the current state of great perfection in Qi Refining and has made a great reputation in Nanshanfang.

And he also has two extraordinary bloodline, late-stage first-level spirit beasts, one of which is good at escaping.

It is precisely with the two spirit beasts that he has the capital to deal with some cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, and he has a record of escaping from the hands of foundation building cultivators.

So before leaving Nanshanfang, he lived in the No. 5 cave of Yizi.

His status is even higher than Zhu Youlong.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, beast masters are not as popular as alchemists.

However, Xiao Changqing did not cultivate spirit beasts even though he had inherited the inheritance of a first-level superior beast master.

It was still the same old problem. The resources in Nanshanfang were too scarce. Although some beast eggs and young beasts could be bought, they were basically first-level bloodlines. Even spirit beasts with second-level bloodlines were pitifully rare, and cultivators were basically unwilling to sell them.

Because a spirit beast with second-level bloodlines, if properly cultivated, had the opportunity to grow to a strength comparable to that of the foundation-building realm.

In Nanshanfang, where Qi-training cultivators were the main force, the foundation-building realm was an absolute giant. Who could refuse it?

But even a spirit beast with second-level bloodlines was useless to Xiao Changqing.

What help could Xiao Changqing get from wasting energy, financial resources, and spending decades to cultivate a second-level demon beast?

By that time, Xiao Changqing would probably have already formed a pill, and his strength was unpredictable. Would a second-level spirit beast be fun to use as a pet?

Thinking of this, Xiao Changqing lost interest.

It would be better to wait until there was a chance to encounter beast eggs with high-level bloodlines in the future before considering cultivating spirit beasts.

Lin Zixi, on the other hand, cultivated a spirit beast.

It was a young ‘Red Flame Eagle’ with second-level blood that she got by chance.

Lin Zixi’s cultivation had successfully broken through the seventh level of Qi Refining a year ago and entered the late stage of Qi Refining. She was only 39 years old this year, which was relatively young.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem in reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Refining before the age of 60.

As for whether she can build a foundation, she is not sure... or in other words, the hope is slim.

Lin Zixi is still full of energy and is practicing hard every day.

In addition to practicing, because she is interested in beast control, she begged Xiao Changqing to teach her the beast control technique, and she showed quite good potential in this regard.

Not only did she successfully hatch the young Red Flame Eagle egg, but she was also very handy in the process of breeding.

Now Lin Zixi regards beast control as her most important thing besides practicing, and she is very determined to cultivate a second-level spirit beast.

Lin Ziyu’s cultivation has also improved to a higher level, and she is advancing in an orderly manner. Not long ago, she broke through the eighth level of Qi Refining, and still kept one step ahead of her sister.

She also tried to control beasts, but found that she had no talent in this area, so she gave up quickly. But before, when Xiao Changqing was free to make pills for fun, Lin Ziyu helped him and found that she had a good talent in alchemy. Later, after a special study and Xiao Changqing's guidance, she successfully made a furnace of basic pills in the Qi Refining Realm in just a few months.

Now three years later, Lin Ziyu has successfully entered the ranks and promoted to a first-level lower-grade alchemist without taking it too seriously or spending too much time!

If she had discovered such a talent for alchemy when she was still in the shantytown in the early years, she would probably have been vying for it by major forces, and even Zhu Youlong, the number one alchemist in Nanshanfang, couldn't help but want to accept him as a disciple!

With a clear goal of cultivation and the development of new skills, the lives of the Lin sisters have become more fulfilling, and they are more motivated to live in Nanshanfang.

The two sisters also knew that their master Xiao Changqing would definitely leave Nanshanfang one day.

And the two of them also accidentally heard Xiao Changqing mention that the place they are most interested in going to is Liyang Xiancheng.

Lin Zixi was more excited about this. She yearned for a wider world in her bones. She was unwilling to be ordinary and liked to venture out and take risks. She was full of expectations for Liyang Immortal City, which was also one of the motivations for her hard practice and beast control.

In a place like Liyang Immortal City, cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm can only be regarded as the bottom, whether it is the early or late stage of Qi Refining.

Without building a foundation, it is impossible to get any attention and favor.

As for Lin Ziyu, she didn't think so much.

She lived happily in Nanshanfang and was very satisfied with her current life. All her wishes when she left the Lin family and came to Nanshanfang had been realized, and far exceeded expectations. There was nothing to be dissatisfied with.

But Xiao Changqing wanted to go to Liyang Immortal City, and she would not object and would be very happy.

Wherever the master went, she should go there.

What's more, her only relative in the world, her sister Lin Zixi, also followed.

The three of them went together, whether it was Nanshanfang or Liyang Immortal City, or anywhere else, she felt very good.

...

Two years later again.

Xiao Changqing's mana has almost reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building, and is only a hair's breadth away from the middle stage of foundation building.

His foundation is deep, and he did not take any external substances such as foundation building pills when building his foundation, relying entirely on himself; he is also an earth spirit root, so it is reasonable that there will be no bottleneck in the middle stage of foundation building, and breakthrough is a natural thing.

But the facts have proved that Xiao Changqing still underestimated the difficulty of cultivating immortals.

After reaching the foundation building stage, even if the earth spirit root still has a great advantage, the speed of cultivation is still fast, but not as fast as that of the Qi Refining Stage.

In the middle stage of foundation building, he also felt a small obstacle.

It was originally expected that the foundation would be in the middle stage within five years, but now it seems that it will take some time to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

"After arriving in Liyang Immortal City, the first thing on the list is to see if we can upgrade our spiritual root qualifications to Tianling Root!"

After the practice, Xiao Changqing felt some stagnant magic power in his body, and secretly made a plan in his heart.

The foundation building qualification of the Earth Spiritual Root is a sure thing. Basically, if a descendant of the Earth Spiritual Root appears in a family, it means that there will be a Foundation Establishment Realm in the future.

However, when a monk from Earth Spiritual Root attacks the Dan Formation Realm, the probability of failure will be very high.

Although in a small place like Nanshanfang, it is rare for a hundred years for an Earth Spirit Root genius to appear, but looking at the entire Dayu Xiuxian world, there are more than hundreds of Xiuxianfang cities? There are also many fairy cities and sects, and the qualification of earth spirit root is not so rare.

At least.

For Master Jiedan, although his qualifications for earth spirit roots are good, he is not too high-minded.

If you want to be accepted as a true disciple by Master Jiedan, the qualification of earth spirit root is basically the necessary condition.

But not all earth spirit root qualifications can be accepted as true inheritance by Master Jiedan!

It also requires various tests, training, observation and understanding, etc.

Because too many geniuses with earth spirit roots are trapped in the foundation-building realm throughout their lives, unable to form pills successfully.

Even if the elixir formation is successful, the Earth Spiritual Root's hope of forming a flawless golden elixir and retaining the chance to attack the Nascent Soul Lord is extremely slim.

Therefore, the earth spirit root qualification is not particularly attractive to the alchemy monks.

Accepting a true disciple requires investing a lot of resources, but you may not get the rewards you deserve.

Only those with Heavenly Spiritual Root qualifications will be eagerly sought by Master Jiedan.

However, Tianlinggen qualifications generally only appear in the two Nascent Soul forces of Seven Star Sword Sect and Xingyue Palace, and are regarded as key training targets.

However, even with Tianlinggen, there is not much hope of eventually becoming the Nascent Soul Lord.

After all, there are countless monks in the entire Dayu Immortal World, but Nascent Soul Lord can be counted on one hand.

After finishing training, Xiao Changqing walked out of the training room and saw Lin Ziyu already waiting for him.

When I saw him coming out, I hurried over to greet him.

"What happened?" Xiao Changqing asked upon seeing this.

Lin Ziyu nodded and said with some sadness: "Just now, Master Zhu's servant brought news that Master Zhu has passed away at the end of his life."

Because of her talent in alchemy, Lin Ziyu often asked Zhu Youlong for advice when encountering difficulties in alchemy in the past few years.

Although Zhou Youlong had a premonition that his end was coming two years ago, he had already told Lin Ziyu.

But when this day comes, Lin Ziyu can't help but feel sad.

The road is ruthless.

Even if they, immortal cultivators, live longer than ordinary people, they are still a drop in the ocean.

Xiao Changqing also felt emotional and asked: "Who is helping with Master Zhu Dan's funeral, Shopkeeper Ruan? Send me a gift."

During his lifetime, Zhu Youlong was regarded as an alchemist named Baibaolou. Because of his admiration for Ruan Qingzhu, usually if he wanted to buy his elixirs, he would have to buy them from Baibaolou.

So he is equivalent to a guest at Baibao Tower.

Now that he has passed away, it should be handled by Baibaolou.

Lin Ziyu was originally sad, but when he heard this, he was unusually angry: "Baibaolou does not plan to hold funeral arrangements for Master Zhu Dan, and is going to just deal with it casually. Moreover, Master Zhu originally had arrangements for his inheritance, although Datou It was all left to Shopkeeper Ruan and Baibao Tower, but now it’s all taken over by Baibao Tower.”

Xiao Changqing frowned when he heard this and said, "Shopkeeper Ruan isn't such a person, is he?"

Lin Ziyu shook his head and said: "Of course not, Shopkeeper Ruan. But Baibao Tower has recently had a new manager at the Foundation Establishment Realm, who has taken control of Baibao Tower. Now Shopkeeper Ruan has been sidelined."

There is also a new steward in Baibao Tower, and he is in the Foundation Establishment realm?

Could it be that Baihua Valley is not satisfied with Ruan Qingzhu and wants to get rid of her?

"Then I'll go with you in person." Xiao Changqing thought for a while and said.

Pill Master Zhu was not only Xiao Changqing's friend, but also received the inheritance from the other master's sect, and promised to help the other party take revenge after taking the Ningzhen Pill from the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen. This causal relationship is based on emotion and reason. I will help him with his funeral arrangements if I can.

certainly.

This is why Xiao Changqing is now strong enough and confident.

If he were an ordinary early-stage foundation-building monk, or a mid-stage foundation-building monk like Cao Hao, he would not dare to intervene easily when faced with the foundation-building stewards sent by Baihua Valley.

"Master, the other party represents Baihua Valley..." Lin Ziyu said with some worry.

She also wanted to help Zhu Dan master arrange his funeral, but she didn't want the master to get into trouble because of it.

Xiao Changqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on and I won't act rashly."

…

More than a hundred miles north of Nanshanfang, there is a beautiful and inaccessible valley. The valley is full of nameless wild flowers and butterflies are flying. There is a river flowing through the valley, and sometimes there are animals drinking water by the river.

If we just talk about the beautiful scenery, most of the second-grade caves in Nanshanfang are not as good as this one.

But there is no spiritual vein here, so it is naturally not suitable for monks to live.

The cemetery that Zhu Danshi chose for himself during his lifetime is here.

When Xiao Changqing and Lin Ziyu arrived, there were already many monks in the valley who came to pay their respects. They were all friends of Master Zhu Dansheng during his lifetime.

Ruan Qingzhu, dressed in white, was also here, looking quite sad.

She has no feelings for Zhu Youlong and has always clearly rejected Zhu Youlong, but this does not prevent the two from becoming good friends.

Zhu Youlong has helped her a lot over the years. It can be said that Zhu Youlong has a lot of credit for being able to secure her position as the shopkeeper of Baibao Tower and not letting the sect cause trouble for her again.

It's a pity that Zhu Youlong's longevity has expired, and Baihua Valley happened to send a foundation-building monk to take care of things at this time. I'm afraid her situation will be very bad next.

"Master Xiao Fu is here!"

"I've met Senior Xiao..."

The arrival of Xiao Changqing immediately caused a bit of noise in the solemn atmosphere.

Xiao Changqing and everyone nodded, then went to the tombstone to burn incense, paid their respects, and then stood aside without overshadowing the guest.

Zhu Youlong did not accept any disciples after he came to Nanshanfang. Perhaps he considered that his master's family had a blood feud involving Master Jiedan. Accepting disciples would not be of any use and would only increase worries.

But he has taken in many concubines and servants over the years, including low-level monks in the early stages of Qi refining, as well as some mortals, all with good looks.

From this point of view, although Zhu Youlong was Ruan Qingzhu's licking dog and was secretly teased and ridiculed by many monks in the Yizi Cave Mansion, the alchemist did not treat him badly and enjoyed some blessings.

Zhu Youlong made a will before his death and handed over most of his property to Ruan Qingzhu, but also left a small portion for his concubines and servants.

However, according to Lin Ziyu, Zhu Youlong's inheritance was forcibly occupied by Baihua Valley's new foundation manager, and even Ruan Qingzhu couldn't get involved.

The memorial service is over.

"Shopkeeper Ruan stays." After the memorial service, Xiao Changqing found Ruan Qingzhu and asked about the specific situation.

Hearing Xiao Changqing's purpose, Ruan Qingzhu hesitated to speak, with a somewhat conflicted look on his face, and finally persuaded: "Master Xiao Fu, I know you have good intentions. You are concerned about Lao Zhu's funeral, and you also want to help me... …But I think it’s best for you not to ask anything about this matter, because this foundation-building monk from Nanshanfang is extraordinary and cannot be offended…”

Xiao Changqing frowned a little when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "Master Zhu Dan is not from Baibao Tower, let alone a disciple of Baihua Valley. If I interfere with his funeral from the position of a friend, will I offend this new steward? Then she It’s too domineering.”

Seeing Xiao Changqing's firm attitude, Ruan Qingzhu could only smile bitterly and said: "She is so domineering... She is the niece of our Valley Master. She is famous for her domineering character in the entire southwest of Dayu Cultivation World."
