Chapter 416: Other Methods

On a large mountain.

Song Qiuyue gazed into the distance toward Xuanqing Palace, her expression filled with deep worry.

It has been five years.

Ever since Wang Jianqiang left, she had been waiting here.

During this time, she had also secretly traveled to the vicinity of Xuanqing Palace to inquire about news of Wang Jianqiang.

But Wang Jianqiang seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, with not a shred of news.

Although she did not want to admit it.

A sense of unease in her heart was growing ever stronger.

After a long while.

She sighed.

She prepared to return to the cave where she lived to consolidate her cultivation.

Because the contamination of her foundation had not been purified for a long time, her cultivation already showed signs of falling.

She needed to practice and stabilize it every few days just to barely maintain her cultivation level.

But this was not a long-term solution.

As the contamination of her foundation continued to worsen.

It would not be long before she would be unable to sustain it and her cultivation would drop.

Just as she jumped off the cliff and flew toward a cave on the rock face.

She suddenly saw a figure flying in from the horizon.

Her expression tightened.

Subconsciously, she wanted to conceal her figure.

But that person's speed was too fast.

By the time she had just reacted, they had already appeared above her head.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked over, her face full of caution.

The next moment.

Her expression froze.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared.

"Daoist Friend Wang!"

Hearing Song Qiuyue's call.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, his figure flashed, and he appeared beside Song Qiuyue, "Qiuyue, I've kept you waiting."

Song Qiuyue shook her head, "As long as you are safe."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, looked her over for a moment, sensed her somewhat unstable aura, and raised an eyebrow, "Has your cultivation already begun to show signs of falling?"

Song Qiuyue nodded, "The foundation contamination has never been resolved and has become increasingly severe."

Speaking of this, she looked at Wang Jianqiang, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I have already obtained the method to purify the foundation."

"So fast?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Song Qiuyue's expression brightened with joy.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "After I parted ways with you here, I contacted the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace through a special method and requested the method to purify the foundation."

"It's just that some accidents occurred during my trip to Xuanqing Palace, and I have been trapped until now."

Song Qiuyue's expression shifted, "Trapped in Xuanqing Palace? What has become of Xuanqing Palace now?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "The Xuanqing Palace Master is dead, the high-level members have all been executed, and it will soon be wiped out by the three sects and become history."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Song Qiuyue sighed softly.

A dignified one of the Four Great Powers of the Northern Territory.

Just because of a single thought of the Palace Master, it had fallen to such a state.

Sensing Song Qiuyue's low spirits, Wang Jianqiang shook his head and said nothing.

A moment later.

Once Song Qiuyue's expression recovered.

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder what plans you have for the future, Qiuyue?"

Hearing this, a flash of confusion crossed Song Qiuyue's face.

She had practiced within Xuanqing Palace since she was young.

Now that her master had fallen and Xuanqing Palace had been destroyed.

For a moment, she did not know where to settle down.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang said, "If you have nowhere to go, how about joining my Hehuan Sect?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, a look of difficulty flashed across Song Qiuyue's face, "If I do that, wouldn't I fall under the command of Yan Qingxuan?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "You are overthinking it, Qiuyue. As long as you agree to join the Hehuan Sect, I will secure a reasonable status for you."

"I will not let you fall under Yan Qingxuan's command, but rather treat you as an equal."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Song Qiuyue was somewhat moved.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang continued, "Besides, don't you still need to purify your foundation? Purifying the foundation is not a matter of a day or two, but requires long-term, unremitting effort from both of us."

"If you can join the Hehuan Sect, it will also be more convenient when purifying your foundation."

Song Qiuyue was stunned, "Long-term effort? Daoist Friend Wang, isn't that purification method a Pill?"

"No." Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "It is a special Technique."

A Technique!

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Song Qiuyue's eyes widened, "There is actually such a miraculous Technique?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "It is not as simple as you imagine; casting this Technique to purify another's foundation has a great impact on one's own foundation, and it is very likely to affect future cultivation."

"Moreover, the cultivation requirements for this Technique are extremely high, and one who succeeds can only purify the foundation for one person in their entire life; otherwise, their own foundation will collapse, and they will be reduced to a cripple."

"So serious!"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Song Qiuyue's expression was one of shock.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "It is merely a small price to pay; compared to helping Qiuyue purify her foundation, it counts for nothing."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's gentle words, a look of deep emotion could not help but rise on Song Qiuyue's face.

"Ding, Song Qiuyue's Good and Evil Value has increased; current Good and Evil Value is 99."

Hearing the system notification sound coming from his mind, the corners of Wang Jianqiang's mouth curved upward.

"I observe that your aura is unstable, and your cultivation is about to drop."

"Why not purify it here first before returning to the Hehuan Sect."

Song Qiuyue nodded, "That is fine, follow me."

After speaking, she flew toward an opening in the cliff wall.

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang followed Song Qiuyue into a cave.

The interior of the cave was very spacious.

"Daoist Friend Wang, how should I cooperate with you?"

Song Qiuyue looked at Wang Jianqiang.

"Remove your Dharma Robe," Wang Jianqiang said.

Song Qiuyue was stunned, thinking she had misheard, "What?"

"Put the Dharma Robe away, put it all away," Wang Jianqiang said.

Song Qiuyue's face turned red in a flash.

It is just circulating Qi, why would there be such a strange requirement?

Immediately afterward, she cast aside all the doubts in her mind.

Daoist Friend Wang had already paid such a great price to help her, yet she actually suspected he had ulterior motives.

That was too wrong of her.

There are countless Techniques in this world.

It is not impossible for a Technique to have such strange casting conditions.

Thinking of this.

She gritted her teeth and put away the Dharma Robe on her body.

She sat cross-legged on the ground, with her back to Wang Jianqiang.

Enduring the shyness in her heart, she said, "Daoist Friend Wang, please cast the spell."

Wang Jianqiang nodded and moved closer.

"Eh? Daoist Friend Wang, what are you doing? Why did you also put away your Dharma Robe?"

"Casting the spell~"

……

One hour later.

Song Qiuyue recovered some strength and looked at Wang Jianqiang, who was standing at the cave entrance with his hands behind his back, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Sensing the gaze cast from behind.

Wang Jianqiang turned around to look at her and sighed, "Qiuyue, it was my lack of consideration; I overlooked the gap between a spirit body and a mortal body."

"Then what should we do? Is there any other way?"

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something, "I have it."

"What way?" Song Qiuyue's eyes lit up.

Wang Jianqiang laughed, "Since the proper path does not work, we can use special means."

"Come, I will teach you."
