Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 113: Master, I want to build the Dao Foundation!

Xu You was about to put away these two things, thinking that he would deal with them after entering the Four Realms. This black egg had not hatched for thousands of years, so there was no rush at the moment.

But suddenly, he remembered that he seemed to have an unused cheat. He hadn't practiced the "Breath of the Gu God" that the Blood Silkworm Gu had produced before. Maybe he could try it now?

Xu You made up his mind and without further ado, he activated the Breath of the Gu God.

The Divine Ability was successfully activated, and suddenly, Xu You felt an inexplicable sensation, as if his affinity and perception in a certain aspect had reached an unimaginable level.

Soon, he discovered what this perception was. The seemingly ordinary young egg of the Yin Erosion Gu in his hand had now undergone a tremendous change in his eyes.

Previously, he had regarded this young egg as an inanimate object, but now he could feel its weak but tenacious vitality. It seemed as if the young egg was breathing, and there was even a faint sound of a heartbeat.

Whoosh—

At this moment, a bead suddenly flew out from Xu You's embrace. It was the True Witch Heaven Bead that Lu Tianming had given him. The True Witch Heaven Bead floated in the air, spinning rapidly and emitting a brilliant light.

The light was soft yet dazzling, and Xu You couldn't see what changes had occurred inside the True Witch Heaven Bead, but he could vaguely sense the gentle flow of an unknown liquid within it.

At the same time, the young egg in his hand also trembled lightly and eventually floated up on its own.

At this moment, the True Witch Heaven Bead generated a tremendous suction force and directly sucked the young egg into its interior.

Xu You widened his eyes, watching this strange scene unfold before him. But before he could react, the True Witch Heaven Bead, which had devoured the Yin Erosion Gu, appeared in his Divine Mansion at an astonishing speed.

It seemed to have settled directly in his Divine Mansion, and the brilliance on the bead dissipated, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, Xu You didn't feel any discomfort or strangeness from having this foreign object in his Divine Mansion. It was as if the True Witch Heaven Bead was a part of his body.

He could even feel more clearly the heartbeat of the young egg inside the True Witch Heaven Bead, and its frequency seemed to synchronize with his own heartbeat.

Furthermore, he could sense that this young egg seemed to have a strong attachment to him, sleeping peacefully.

Xu You was a bit confused now. He hadn't expected that trying out this Divine Ability would result in such a situation.

The Cultivating Gu Scripture didn't mention this kind of situation at all. How could it directly lurk in a person's Divine Mansion like this?

And it even followed the True Witch Heaven Bead. Xu You had no idea what the True Witch Heaven Bead was used for, only that it was a treasure, and now it had come in as well.

Could there be any other inherent connection between the True Witch Heaven Bead and the Yin Erosion Gu?

Xu You felt a bit split, but he wasn't panicked.

In the depths of his mind, he could sense that this True Witch Heavenly Pearl and the Eclipse Gu wouldn't cause him any harm at all. Moreover, it seemed like the Eclipse Gu was starting to hatch?

After hatching, would it directly recognize him as its master?

This absurd feeling filled Xu You's mind without any doubt.

He never expected that he would directly obtain this Eclipse Gu in a way that bypassed the Cultivating Gu Scripture.

Xu You fell into deep contemplation. After a long period of time, he finally pulled his thoughts back from the True Witch Heavenly Pearl.

Since he didn't know how to take it out now, he could only leave it there for now and ask Mo Yuhuang about it later.

Leaving the Dao Hut, Xu You arrived at the Vermilion Bird Cottage.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the unique fragrance emanating from Mo Yuhuang. Judging from the intensity of the fragrance, Mo Yuhuang had been here for the past two days.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so fragrant.

As Xu You had expected, Mo Yuhuang was currently half-lying on the fragrant couch, the soft mattress pressed firmly against her voluptuous figure.

Beside her was a pot of milk, which she occasionally sipped from. In her right hand, she played with something resembling a counting tool, while her left hand held a book that she was reading.

When Xu You approached, the strong scent of milk mixed with Mo Yuhuang's fragrance intoxicated him.

Only then did he see the book in Mo Yuhuang's hand, titled "Gambling Saint Manual," with the words "Tenth Edition" written on it.

The counting tool Mo Yuhuang was playing with was also a type of gambling tool. Well, she hadn't left the house for the past few days, so it seemed she was studying gambling techniques?

Well, in this world, the only thing that could make Mo Yuhuang become a homebody was probably this.

"Master, what are you doing?" Xu You asked.

"Hmm? Oh, just reading a book," Mo Yuhuang replied without lifting her head.

"Whose book is it?"

"Don't you know the Gambling Saint?" Mo Yuhuang raised her head in surprise and looked at Xu You.

"I don't know."

"How is that possible? My idol, the Gambling Saint Zhou Xinxing! He's the number one gambling saint in Shenzhou and has never lost a bet. You don't know him? I'm very disappointed."

Xu You's eyelids twitched. It was normal for him not to know someone in this circle, right? Who would bother to know a gambling saint for no reason?

But seeing Mo Yuhuang so excited, Xu You still cooperatively said, "Oh, I remember now. That gambling saint, right?"

Mo Yuhuang finally lay down, satisfied, and the mountains and rivers on her chest swayed for a while.

"Master, I have something to ask you," Xu You continued.

"Hmm, go ahead," Mo Yuhuang said, still staring at the book, and took a sip of milk with her right hand.

Because the angle was not aligned, a little milk flowed from the corner of her mouth onto her collarbone, but she was unaware of how bad the situation was.

She just extended her red tongue and licked the milk stain on her lips.

Xu You's gaze drifted elsewhere as he said, "Master, do you know anything about the witchcraft path?"

"Of course."

"Do you know about the Yin Erosion Gu?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know about the Cultivating Gu Scripture?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know about the True Witch Heavenly Bead?"

"I don't know."

Xu You paused, well, it was definitely a mistake to ask Mo Yuhuang.

"Why are you asking these things?" Mo Yuhuang asked in return.

"It's nothing, just asking for fun," Xu You shook his head and changed the topic.

"I'm planning to go into seclusion for cultivation."

"Seclusion again? What for?"

"To build the Dao Foundation."

"Hmm?" Hearing these three words, Mo Yuhuang finally shifted her gaze from the Gambling Saint Manual and looked at Xu You. "You're planning to build the Dao Foundation now? Don't you have much time left before reaching the Late Stage of the Third Realm? Shouldn't you consolidate your foundation first?"

"I need to consolidate my foundation. I will build the Dao Foundation after that," Xu You nodded.

"Alright then," Mo Yuhuang put down the book, sat up, and patted the edge of the bed with her right hand. "Sit down and talk."

Xu You obediently walked over and sat down, looking closely at his beautiful master.

"So, what do you want from me? Just tell me, and I'll give it to you," Mo Yuhuang said confidently.

"I don't really want anything. I just want to ask Master for advice on what to pay attention to when building the Dao Foundation, or what needs to be supplemented, and other details. I want to do it perfectly," Xu You said sincerely.

"I see." Mo Yuhuang pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I can't give you any good advice on this. The Sword Foundation and the Dao Foundation are two completely different paths. When I built my Sword Foundation, the old man didn't give me much guidance either. He only said two sentences to me, and now I'll pass these two sentences on to you."

"Please tell me, Master," Xu You's eyes lit up, sitting upright and showing the etiquette of a disciple.

"The first one, the Fourth Realm emphasizes ε=(ο｀*))) Oh? I seem to have forgotten," Mo Yuhuang paused for a second and then gave up. "Master, are you serious?" Xu You's face stiffened.

"I really forgot," Mo Yuhuang felt a little awkward, feeling sorry for her beloved disciple.

"What do you mean?" Mo Yuhuang raised an eyebrow.

She could feel guilty for her disciple on her own, but if her disciple said that, it was unacceptable.

If it were when Xu You was a child, he would have been punished for saying that.

"Is that so? I've come all this way relying on myself, and now I want to gain some experience. Master, you don't know anything," Xu You continued firing.

"What experience? In terms of understanding the Nine Yang Immortal Art, I still need to gain experience from you. Don't underestimate yourself, you're really great," Mo Yuhuang said as she reached out and rubbed Xu You's face.

Xu You's facial features were distorted from being rubbed, and he felt helpless. He said angrily, "Master, you made a bet with someone. If I can't build the Nine Yang Dao Foundation, then you lose!"

"Oh, right," Mo Yuhuang stopped the action of rubbing Xu You's face. "How did you know about this?"

Xu You became even more angry. "Don't brag about me outside in the future, Master. It puts a lot of pressure on me!"

"Got it," Mo Yuhuang casually waved her hand and got up to walk back and forth. Her plump figure was particularly eye-catching.

"How confident are you in building the Nine Yang Dao Foundation now?"

"I have no confidence at all."

"Not even a little bit."

"That's impossible," Mo Yuhuang raised her voice a bit. "I understand your accomplishments in the Nine Yang Immortal Art. How could you have no confidence at all?"

"That's just your illusion, Master."

"Don't deceive your master," Mo Yuhuang suddenly bent down and approached Xu You, their faces just inches apart.

Looking at the beauty in front of him, Xu You tactically retreated. "I'm not deceiving you."

"No reason." Mo Yuhuang frowned slightly and stood up. "Then what are you lacking? Tell me about it."

"I don't know what I'm lacking exactly. I just feel lost. I've been cultivating all this time without anyone to guide me. What should I do?" Xu You shrugged.

"Only those who inherit the Nine Yang Immortal Art can provide guidance. The old man doesn't have many years left. Damn it, it's all his fault!" Mo Yuhuang rubbed his forehead and then seemed to have a sudden realization. His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh, I almost forgot! Wait here."

Mo Yuhuang turned and went upstairs, her plump buttocks swaying particularly enticingly.

Soon, she came back down with a red silk pouch and threw it to Xu You, explaining, "This was left behind by the old man. He left behind two silk pouches. He instructed me to give one to each person who inherits his lineage when they reach a certain stage. Since you're about to enter the fourth realm, this should be useful."

What a great thing!

Xu You's eyes also lit up. "Master, why are you telling me now?"

"It happened so many years ago, I had long forgotten. If you hadn't come today, I wouldn't have remembered," Mo Yuhuang replied.

Looking at such an unreliable master, Xu You moved his lips but didn't say anything else. At least this trip wasn't in vain.

"However, I have something to tell you," Mo Yuhuang's expression suddenly turned serious. "Although Sword Foundation and Dao Foundation are two completely different paths, they both lead to the Great Dao. The most important thing in cultivation is faith. Many times, the cultivation process depends on one's own will. As long as your willpower is strong enough, your Dao heart is firm enough, and your faith is solid enough, nothing will be difficult. Back in the day, I relied on my three-foot-long sword."

Mo Yuhuang went on and on, while Xu You listened with a puzzled expression. At first, it sounded reasonable, but upon careful consideration, it lacked any depth. It was all just bragging.

The more Xu You listened, the darker his face became. In the end, he interrupted, "Master, I understand. I'll go back now."

"That's all you understand?" Mo Yuhuang seemed somewhat unsatisfied.

"Yes, I understand."

"Then go, work hard. If you can establish the Nine Yang Dao Foundation, I'll fulfill any of your wishes," Mo Yuhuang added.

Xu You nodded helplessly and turned to leave.

After Xu You left, Mo Yuhuang didn't continue reading but took out a communication jade talisman and called someone in.

Soon, the white-haired Lao Lu walked in and asked, "What did the peak master summon me for?"

"Xu You is going into seclusion. During this time, Xiaozhuling is designated as a restricted area, and no one from Vermilion Bird Peak or the outer peaks can enter or leave. You will personally guard it," Mo Yuhuang gave an order.

"Yes, Peak Master," Lao Lu saluted and asked casually, "Why is Xu You going into seclusion?"

"To build the Dao Foundation."

Lao Lu was somewhat surprised. Last time, he was ordered to extinguish Xu You's sword Dao heart, but almost ended up collapsing his own Dao heart.

It hasn't been long since then, and Xu You is already going to build the Dao Foundation.

Such a genius made Lao Lu feel particularly emotional.

He saluted and left, determined to fulfill Mo Yuhuang's request. Mo Yuhuang has been the Peak Master of Vermilion Bird Peak for so many years, and he has never seen her care so much about anyone except Xu You.

On the other side, after leaving the Vermilion Bird Cottage, Xu You went to the Sutra Pavilion in the sect to investigate the matter of the True Witch Heavenly Pearl, but still found nothing.

However, Xu You is not worried for the time being. Through the breath of the Gu God, he can clearly sense that the True Witch Heavenly Pearl is a good thing for him.

He will wait and see, and if there are really any problems, he will ask his master for help.

After leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Xu You was about to return to Xiaozhuling when his communication jade talisman started to vibrate. It was sent by Ding Qing, asking him to come and pick up his robe.

Xu You immediately rushed to Heaven-Connecting Peak. Last time, Ding Qing was put under house arrest, and he didn't have a chance to get his robe.

Soon, Xu You arrived at the artifact refining shop on Heaven-Connecting Peak. There were not many customers in the shop, and Ding Qing was sitting lazily behind the counter, just like when Xu You saw him last time.

He looked disheveled, with messy long hair, and seemed weak and powerless.

"Senior Brother Ding, I'm here to pick up my robe," Xu You greeted him.

"Junior Brother Xu has come." Seeing Xu You, Ding Qing stood up with some enthusiasm and took out a delicate robe about three inches in size and placed it on the counter.

Xu You looked at the exquisite appearance and his eyes lit up. He quickly picked it up and played with it.

Because last time he heard from Junior Brother Ding Qing about why he was put under house arrest, Xu You was now very worried about his own robe.

He directly transferred his cultivation into the robe to inspect it.

Soon, the robe expanded and fit on Xu You's body. From the surface, there was nothing special about it, and it had the same style as his own clothes.

"Don't study it anymore, Junior Brother. This is an ordinary comprehensive robe. The previous orders I received were all changed to normal styles during my house arrest," Ding Qing said with some lack of interest.

Xu You felt relieved. Goodness, it seems he doesn't have to cross-dress!

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Xu You laughed heartily, then took out the materials from the green tiger demon that he killed in Qingyun Sect before and placed them on the table.

"Senior Brother Ding, do you want these materials?"

Ding Qing looked at the materials, somewhat surprised, and looked at them for a while. Finally, his eyes flickered, and he became even more enthusiastic. "Does Junior Brother need any additional modifications?"

"Add-on?"

"Yes, your robe is just the basic version. You can add-on these materials you provided to enhance it."

"So, it can be upgraded to a higher version?"

"That's one way to put it."

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Xu You's interest, Ding Qing walked out from behind the counter and smiled, "There's more to it."

Saying that, Ding Qing handed Xu You a booklet and explained with a smile, "Take a look, these are the add-on functions."

"For example, you can add the Eye of the Netherworld, which automatically detects ghost energy within a radius of fifty li, making it useful for tasks that involve dealing with ghost cultivators who excel in hiding."

"Or the Wings of the Thunderbird, which mimics the rapid flight ability of the divine beast Thunderbird. In emergency situations, you can use your cultivation to manifest a pair of thunder wings on the robe, increasing your acceleration by seventy percent!"

"It's a necessary Divine Weapon for escaping. And there's also..."

Ding Qing continued to talk non-stop, while Xu You looked at the booklet, overwhelmed by the various functions listed on it.

He didn't expect that a robe could have so many possibilities.

In simple terms, it's like buying a car. Although the basic version and the high-end version may look the same on the outside, there is a big difference inside.

If you don't add these upgrades, your robe can only be considered a fine product, not a Supreme Grade.

Looking at all the functions that can be added, Xu You couldn't help but feel tempted. If he added all of them, wouldn't he have a Peerless Grade battle robe?

"How many can I add?" Xu You asked.

"The previous snake skin was only at the mid-stage of the Fourth Realm, so it only had three basic functions. Now, with the addition of this tiger skin, I can help you add two special functions. Adding more would be too much for the robe," Ding Qing replied.

Xu You carefully looked at the list again and finally gritted his teeth, "Then I want to add the Wings of the Thunderbird and the Eye of Spirit Gathering!"

The Eye of Spirit Gathering is a simple spirit gathering formation. When you're outside in areas with scarce spiritual energy, it can greatly assist in meditation recovery and battles.

Adding such a miniature spirit gathering formation to the robe requires high craftsmanship.

"Junior Brother has a good eye! Choosing these two great functions, it's settled then," Ding Qing said happily after the deal was made.

"How much does it cost?" Xu You hesitated and asked.

"It's free. It's rare for Junior Brother to trust me, so the remaining materials will be considered payment. Otherwise, if I were to charge you a processing fee of one thousand eight hundred, it would hurt our relationship."

"That expensive?" Xu You was taken aback.

Ding Qing wasn't surprised by Xu You's reaction. He patiently explained, "Junior Brother, you don't know. Artifact refining is the most difficult. Making a robe like this is already challenging, and then engraving such high-level add-on functions on it is not a simple task."

"Let me put it this way, there may be many people who can refine a basic robe on Heaven-Connecting Peak. But there are only a few who dare to guarantee the addition of the Wings of the Thunderbird and the Eye of Spirit Gathering."

Among them, my craftsmanship is second to none, and no one dares to claim the top spot!

Moreover, the materials needed for this are extremely expensive, and success is not guaranteed.

If it fails, I would have to compensate you for all your belongings.

Finally, the more functions added, the more difficult it becomes, and there's a risk of the robe being ruined with a single mistake. I'm only charging you one thousand because we get along well.

If you were to find someone else, I would charge at least one thousand five hundred."

Listening to Ding Qing's speech, Xu You gradually calmed down. He could understand. This craft was monopolistic, and it was all about exclusive skills.

And indeed, it was very difficult, with the risk of losing a lot if not careful.

Artifact refining was a lucrative business.

Xu You even had the impulse to give up on Dao Foundation and switch to the Great Dao of artifact refining. It was a quick way to make money.

"So, Junior Brother, what do you think?" Ding Qing asked in the end.

"Add!" Xu You clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

This robe had certain attributes that enhanced one's strength, and with its functional capabilities, it was worth spending the Monster Cultivator materials on it.

"Great! If you want something better in the future, bring the materials, and I'll refine it for you," Ding Qing said generously as he took the Kun coins.

"Senior Brother, um, I hope you won't do any fancy modifications, just the normal add-ons will do," Xu You reminded him with some concern.

"Alright," Ding Qing nodded in agreement.

"How long will it take?"

"This is very challenging. It will take some time. I'll contact you as soon as I finish adding the functions."

"Okay."

In the end, Xu You chose to trust Ding Qing. Making mistakes repeatedly and still being able to run a shop proved that his artifact refining ability was quite remarkable.
