Chapter 113: Young Mysterious Turtle

A Foundation Establishment cultivator has appeared at Jiuye Mountain Market, replacing the original Market Master.

This news caused the dignitaries of Jinque City to be startled three times a day, all fearing that if they woke up one morning, the world would have changed!

If they happened to run into someone with too ugly a way of eating, it would not be a matter that could be overcome by simply bleeding some wealth.

Fortunately, as the news fermented, Jiuye Mountain Market regained its popularity, and then the most important point is!

Including the gifts sent from the surrounding cities and Linyue Villa, the other party not only accepted every single one but also gave a reply to each one.

On the notes were written four vigorous and powerful characters: "Everything remains as before"!

These four characters made people inclined to believe that this was a reasonable and upright Great Cultivator of Foundation Establishment!

They all breathed a sigh of relief one after another.

No one felt that this was the other party deliberately trying to numb them.

After all, they still knew their own weight; their meager interests should not be enough for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to break their word and grow fat!

Especially since they also learned a piece of news: this Foundation Establishment cultivator intends to spend a few years consolidating his cultivation, and then, in order to have a legacy for his Dharma lineage, he will accept disciples and establish a sect at Jiuye Mountain!

Although the master is only at Foundation Establishment, it is clear that even if successful, the upper limit will only be a small sect.

But for many wealthy families in the mortal world, if a descendant could be selected, and they also have a Lower Grade Spiritual Root...

The gap between an Outer Sect Disciple of an Immortal Sect who cannot obtain resources and a personal disciple of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is still very large.

The former mostly stops at the Mid-stage Qi Refining, while the latter has a high probability of going further and has the opportunity to be valued by a Foundation Establishment cultivator and be focused on for cultivation!

Some large families within the sphere of influence of Jiuye Mountain, who have descendants who have successfully entered Qi Refining and are guaranteed to have at least a Lower Grade Spiritual Root, are already considering this.

They are already considering whether to wait a while, with the intention of sending some descendants to Jiuye Mountain to try and apprentice when the opportunity arises.

Baihe Zhenren gave the promise that "everything remains as before" to stabilize people's hearts, and then made public the decision to establish a sect here.

The visiting cultivators who knew about this, as long as they were not evil cultivators with problems in their heads, would more or less give face to a Foundation Establishment cultivator; at the very least, they would not start killing each other at every turn near Jiuye Mountain Market!

Jinque City also benefited from this, gaining a rare peace in the current harsh environment.

Even some Loose Cultivators who had participated in the siege of Jiuye Mountain, borrowed supplies from wealthy families in Jinque City, and then fled, took the initiative to run back and return the borrowed supplies twofold.

Afterwards, besides going to Jiuye Mountain to carry thorns and plead guilty, they also attempted to be taken in by the Foundation Establishment force.

Regarding this, Su Ping simply ignored it and left it to the stewards below to handle.

In the eyes of the servants, apart from closed-door cultivation, he would go away for four or five days at a time under the pretext of gaining experience.

Anyway, he is already the biggest person on this Jiuye Mountain.

Being a hands-off Shopkeeper, there is no one who can manage him.

As for the people below stealing food... Su Ping has also arranged for rats to monitor the restricted areas.

Petty theft and the usual practices of the stewards—since he has delegated power, he must bear the results, which can be considered normal loss expenses.

But if it goes too far, Su Ping does not mind a major reshuffle.

And in this Cultivation World, with the status of Foundation Establishment, he can directly convict them verbally without evidence; dealing with those people as corruption, no one would think this is framing or killing the hound after the hare.

No one would think that a Great Cultivator of Foundation Establishment would need to make up a reason to deal with some servants!

…………

At Linyue Hubo, after Su Ping finished his fishing quota for the week, he luckily obtained another Green Spirit Fish.

After raising it in the Pot Heaven, the Spirit Qi concentration of the Dongtian was raised to:

【Current Pot Heaven Spirit Qi concentration: Level 2 (40/200)】

Then, after Su Ping practiced his divine ability, it was his first time heading to Xuangui Island!

It is just that this time, he will descend upon that sea area with the status of a Great Cultivator of Foundation Establishment!

This time, no ships dared to scout quietly; seeing the figure in the air, they would sensibly avoid or stop sailing.

After Foundation Establishment, one can fly through the air, and Su Ping can also run to the Pot Heaven to meditate and recover Dharma Power as if using a cheat.

His movement speed is even faster than an average Foundation Establishment cultivator on the road!

Passing by Yunshan Market, he saw the Immortal Boat in the sky.

Su Ping also pondered whether to buy an Immortal Boat in the Cultivation World for transportation.

Later, after asking someone to understand a little, Su Ping discovered that this thing is a gold-swallowing beast!

Now the Cultivation World is turbulent, and the prices of large-scale artifacts like Immortal Boats have risen accordingly.

And although most of the drive and defense systems can be powered by ordinary Spirit Stones.

The medium and high-grade Spirit Stones required for their core Dharma Arrays are already strategic materials for major sects, and they are priced but unavailable.

It is no wonder that apart from sects or large chambers of commerce that own Immortal Boats and use them frequently.

The cultivation families that come and go usually still use carriages and boats as transportation tools.

It turns out that even if you can afford to buy one... it is very difficult to afford to maintain it!

After rushing for a night regardless of Dharma Power, Su Ping was able to fly to Xuangui Island.

And he saw that small manors had already been newly built on this island.

The original small fishing village had also been transformed into a medium-sized port, with five or six hundred-ton Tall Ships docked there.

Su Ping landed with the identity of Baihe Zhenren and was immediately received by the Elder of the Dongli Family branch here.

After a friendly exchange, Su Ping was able to successfully enter the Heavenly Pool to fish.

Seeing that this Second-tier Fishing Spot on Xuangui Island had already stored 200 fishing attempts, Su Ping washed his hands and released his Divine Sense to avoid being spied on at the same time.

He also took out the Thunder Light Fox Talisman from his sleeve to be prepared, and only then did he start fishing.

And on the seashore, several spies from the Dongli Family who felt the Divine Sense retreated sensibly.

That Elder, upon learning that the other party had really started fishing, was not surprised:

"No matter, I have already asked someone to find out the origin of the other party; he is a visiting cultivator who luckily succeeded in Foundation Establishment at the market."

"I have seen many such cultivators; do they really think that Immortal Fate will always favor them? Many have come to this place to fish, and some have even deliberately soaked in it for a month just to feed the fish!"

"How could there still be any Immortal Fate in this place? If there were, it would have long since been taken away by the Old Ancestors of our Chiyuan Immortal Sect!"

The branch Elder said this while soothing the hearts of those unsettled by the arrival of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Su Ping, however, felt a surge of joy in his heart and almost laughed out loud!

【Obtained Fishing Experience +1】

【Current Fishing Level: 5 (11/5000)】

【Obtained Juvenile Xuan Turtle +1】

He hadn't expected that after waiting so long to fish again, he would successfully catch the local specialty fish product not long after starting!

Su Ping hurriedly looked at the description of this catch:

【Juvenile Xuan Turtle, Quality: Rare, can be contracted for use as a summoned Spirit Beast, can be upgraded, and can slowly increase experience points when kept in the Pot Heaven!】

"What a pity, there's no edible bonus, so there's no great benefit to eating it."

After reading the description, Su Ping shook his head slightly and summoned the Juvenile Xuan Turtle.

He then discovered a tiny, dark red turtle about the size of a palm appearing before him, lifting its head to look at him curiously.

Su Ping chose to contract it as a summoned Spirit Beast, and a new message immediately appeared in the information stream:

【Juvenile Xuan Turtle (Unnamed), Quality: Rare, Current Level: 1, Combat Power Assessment: 0】

"Is it really okay for the combat power to be zero?"

"Looking at you like this, you're at least a rare quality, so I'll just call you Baxia!"

"I hope you won't be worse than that one called Chiwen... otherwise, I won't care if you get bullied!"

After Su Ping finished naming the Juvenile Xuan Turtle, he placed it in his sleeve and continued fishing.

After using up all the attempts for this Second-tier Fishing Spot, Su Ping stood up and headed to the port.

While saying goodbye to the Dongli Family branch Elder, Su Ping quietly gave a few more words in Secret Language.

Afterward, he flew through the air and left Xuangui Island without any lingering attachment.

After watching the other party leave, the Elder walked quickly back to the manor and immediately gathered all the clansmen on Xuangui Island.

Then, this Elder gave the answer directly and clearly:

"You should know that a Foundation Establishment cultivator came not long ago, curious about the ancient ruins on our island."

"He told me when he left."

"An evil cultivator has appeared among us!"

"I believe that a great Foundation Establishment cultivator would not be bored enough to lie to our Dongli clan!"

"So... everyone, listen up! Enter the Subduing Demons Array and chant the Evil-Subduing Dharma Incantation!"

Hearing the Elder's order, everyone was filled with awe!

Some began to be grateful to that Foundation Establishment cultivator; if he hadn't spotted the Evil Qi and warned them.

Once the Elder and these Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators left.

They, the remaining clansmen, would likely have all been turned into sacrifices for the evil cultivators!

After Su Ping spotted the Evil Qi and warned the Dongli Family, he moved far away from Xuangui Island.

On the way, he dived into the seabed to enter the Pot Heaven to recover his Dharma Power, and while at it, he placed the little turtle named Baxia into the Large Spirit Light Fish Pond.

The little turtle was very happy upon entering the Spirit Light Fish Pond, feeling as comfortable as if it had returned home.

The Large Black Chiwen approached this new companion curiously, but was slapped in the eye by a water arrow spat from the other's mouth, scaring it into letting out a cry and hiding to one side.

After a while, it discovered that the other party didn't seem to be anything special and was planning to take revenge.

Along with the surge of its malice.

The Juvenile Xuan Turtle suddenly shook its body and then retracted into its shell.

At the same time, it whimpered and connected to Su Ping to beg for help, causing the Large Black Chiwen—which felt its master's Divine Sense cast over from afar—to have its massive body suddenly freeze in place!

The desire for revenge also vanished into thin air, and it made the decision that a good fish does not fight with a turtle!

In the Pot Heaven, the Juvenile Xuan Turtle began to slowly increase its experience, and at the same time, Su Ping discovered that eating could slightly accelerate this increase.

Thus, Su Ping placed hundreds of catties of Demon Beast meat and a large amount of various meats from Blue Star on the side.

Allowing both the Juvenile Xuan Turtle and the Large Black Chiwen to choose as they pleased.

The Large Black Chiwen suddenly found that the arrival of this new companion was quite good, as it also allowed it to benefit from many perks.

Everything went smoothly, and after returning to Jinque City and showing his face in both identities to stabilize the people's hearts.

Su Ping activated the Return to City Talisman and returned to his hometown once again.

After reaching Foundation Establishment, Su Ping could feel that the influence of this world on him seemed to be less significant.

The circulation of his Spirit Liquid no longer had any sluggish illusions.

The only regret was that he still couldn't recover his Dharma Power in the environment of his hometown; he could only take medicine or return to the Pot Heaven!

However, relying on the Spirit Liquid, Su Ping's extraordinary endurance could be extended for quite a long time even in his hometown!

This undoubtedly greatly increased Su Ping's sense of security.

I have something to do today, so the evening update might be a little late.
