Chapter 228: Rising to the Clouds

Lin Zhangqing suddenly realized that it was because of this, so he asked: "How many mature Foundation Establishment Fruits are there in the space now?"

Xu Meiniang hurriedly answered: "We focused on catalyzing a Foundation Establishment Fruit Tree, and now there are twelve mature Foundation Establishment Fruits on it."

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said: "Where is it, take me to see it!"

Xu Meiniang hurriedly answered, and then led him to a fruit tree that was more than a zhang tall.

Sure enough, it was mature, exactly the same as the twelve Foundation Establishment Fruits Lin Zhangqing had obtained before.

He reached out and picked one, put it into a jade box, handed it to Xu Meiniang, and after considering it, took out a jade slip from his storage bag and gave it to her together.

And he exhorted: "Before starting to establish your foundation, you must carefully read and understand the content in this jade slip several times and keep it firmly in your heart.

This is the various matters needing attention for advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage that I organized based on the records left by the family ancestors and the personal experience taught by several Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After you successfully establish your foundation, remember to record the experience of foundation establishment, and when the time comes, hand it over to Zhao Liyu together with this jade slip; she will need it."

Xu Meiniang was overjoyed, took the jade box and jade slip handed over by Lin Zhangqing, and saluted Lin Zhangqing very respectfully.

She said solemnly: "Thank you, Master, for your perfection; this subordinate will definitely cultivate hard to repay Master in the future."

Lin Zhangqing nodded, "Don't have too much psychological pressure; there are plenty of Foundation Establishment Fruits, and I can pile you up to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Hearing Lin Zhangqing's comforting words, Xu Meiniang choked up; since her father left, she hadn't heard such words for a long time.

She couldn't speak for a while and could only nod hard.

Lin Zhangqing didn't care about her anymore; anyway, as a master, he had given the resources that should be given, and also said comforting words; the rest depended on her own efforts.

Coming to the edge of the deep pit, he threw Chen Sibao's corpse in directly; thinking for a while, he also threw the three raw stones bought in the gambling stone workshop today into the deep pit together.

The last time he sent resources to Lin Zhangliu was half a year ago; at that time, he poured a total of about fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones, plus three pieces of upper-grade spirit stone raw ore, into the deep pit.

That time, it increased by about seven hundred mu of land, so now the area of the inner space was about six thousand five hundred mu.

But the goal of twenty-five thousand mu for Lin Zhangliu to advance to the fourth stage was not just a little bit far away.

Now Lin Zhangqing's family wealth only had three supreme-grade spirit stones, more than a thousand upper-grade spirit stones, and more than two hundred thousand lower-grade spirit stones left.

Even if all of them were thrown in for Lin Zhangliu to absorb, it would only increase by about fourteen hundred mu, and it wouldn't even break through ten thousand mu.

And he also had to leave a portion of upper-grade spirit stones to start that intercontinental super teleportation array, so Lin Zhangqing felt that these spirit stones should still be kept just in case.

Walking back to the courtyard, he put Chen Sibao's storage bag and those ten mid-grade spirit stones into the room specifically for storing spoils of war.

Then he specifically found a small jade box and put a hundred-year Vermilion Fruit inside; this was specifically prepared for Xiao Du.

He would definitely pass through Qiyun Prefecture this time, and Lin Zhangqing prepared to send it to him; for people who had helped him, he would never be stingy, and this hundred-year Vermilion Fruit was really not a very precious spiritual object to him.

Putting the small jade box into the storage bag, Zhao Liyu had just finished planting the spirit herbs and returned.

"Greetings, Master; this subordinate has already planted the spirit herbs in suitable positions." Seeing Lin Zhangqing, Zhao Liyu hurriedly said.

Lin Zhangqing nodded: "That's good; you should also seize the time for your own cultivation; just now Xu Meiniang told me that the spiritual energy in her dantian has been polished to be perfect and she wants to try to establish her foundation.

I have already agreed and gave her a Foundation Establishment Fruit, as well as a jade slip recording the family ancestors' foundation establishment experience.

So you also have to seize the time; and during the period when Xu Meiniang establishes her foundation, you will have to work hard; mainly, you must take good care of the spirit herbs and spirit plants in the space."

Hearing Lin Zhangqing say this, Zhao Liyu was also taken aback; she didn't expect Xu Meiniang to be ready to establish her foundation, which gave her a strong sense of urgency.

Now Lin Zhangqing only had two subordinates; if Xu Meiniang successfully established her foundation, she would definitely be more valued by the master, and that would compare her down; this was not what she wanted to see.

Hurriedly, she guaranteed to Lin Zhangqing with a serious face: "Master, please rest assured; this subordinate guarantees that I will definitely take good care of the spirit herbs and spirit plants in the space, and cultivate hard, striving to establish my foundation as soon as possible."

Nodding fully, with her saying this, Lin Zhangqing was relieved; subsequently, Lin Zhangqing exited the inner space.

Returning to the room, looking at the sky outside, he estimated the time and found that there was still more than an hour, so Lin Zhangqing simply lay down to rest again. After Lin Zhangqing completely finished his morning cultivation and came to the living room, Chen Zi Ya was already waiting for him there.

As soon as she saw him, she said happily: "Senior Brother, you are really too amazing! The raw stone you helped me choose yesterday opened a mid-grade water-attribute spirit stone; if it is cut out, it is estimated to be at least two hundred pieces or so."

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but laugh, "It seems our luck is not bad; one piece and we broke even."

"Senior Brother, it seems you have quite a bit of research on raw stones! So, I want you to help me choose next time." Chen Zi Ya blinked and said mischievously to Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing laughed, "Okay, no problem, but I can't guarantee that I can gamble and win every time; if it fails, don't blame me!

And we have to set off quickly, lest we delay the boarding time, and then we will have to wait for several more days."

Chen Zi Ya nodded, and subsequently, the two returned the deposit and left the market, flying directly toward the direction of the guest ship's landing field.

Flying about one li away from the market, he released Chu Yi and Chu Er; only with them would safety be relatively guaranteed.

However, this time it was calm and peaceful along the way; the two groups of people encountered were also rushing toward the landing field, and everyone kept a certain distance and was safe and sound.

When they were about to arrive, he recalled Chu Yi and Chu Er in advance, so others wouldn't know he had a Golden Winged Bird.

Until they successfully boarded the ship, nothing special happened, so it seemed that the matter of Chen Sibao had basically passed.

If no one investigated, the matter would just be like this; after a few years, if no one mentioned it, maybe no one would remember him.

Looking back, it was still a bit exciting, but this kind of thing should be avoided as much as possible in the future; walking by the river often, there would be a day when shoes would get wet.

Now the guest ship had set sail, and the two were in Chen Zi Ya's room, drinking tea and chatting.

"By the way, Junior Sister! Do you remember Xiao Du of Wanbao Pavilion?" Lin Zhangqing remembered the gift prepared for Xiao Du and wanted to talk to Chen Zi Ya first.

"I remember, what's wrong with him?" Chen Zi Ya was a bit strange, not knowing why Lin Zhangqing wanted to mention him.

"I plan to go to Wanbao Pavilion to see him when passing through Qiyun Prefecture this time, and by the way, send him a small gift.

After all, he could be considered to have saved us last time; only giving him a few hundred spirit stones is a bit unreasonable."

After speaking, he took out the small jade box he had prepared and handed it to Chen Zi Ya.

Chen Zi Ya took it and opened it to take a look, then returned it to Lin Zhangqing.

"This is a hundred-year Vermilion Fruit, right! Senior Brother seems to have quite a few good things on you! When will you share some with me too?" Chen Zi Ya teased.

Lin Zhangqing laughed proudly: "That's right! I have a lot of good things on me; you just have to serve Senior Brother well.

I will share some with you, guaranteeing that you will soar into the sky, rise ninety thousand li into the clouds, and becoming a monarch or venerable will be within reach!"

Chen Zi Ya chuckled: "I won't fall for Senior Brother's trick; I don't dare to think about Nascent Soul True Monarch or Deity Transformation True Venerable; I will be satisfied if I can cultivate to the Golden Core stage in this life."

Lin Zhangqing smiled, shook his head and said: "The opportunity was given to you, but you didn't grasp it; that's your business; there won't be such an easy time next time."

Chen Zi Ya didn't want to listen to Lin Zhangqing's nonsense anymore, and remembered that Lin Zhangqing had come to Qiyun Prefecture to explore by himself last time.

Couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother, why didn't you go to see him when you went to Qiyun Prefecture last time?"

"Last time the guest ship arrived at the landing field outside the market, I flew toward Baishan County and didn't enter Qiyun Market at all.

When I came back, I didn't have a suitable gift; this time I happened to have this hundred-year Vermilion Fruit, which is just right for him."

"Then I will go with Senior Brother when the time comes!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded; this matter was settled like this.
