Chapter 621: The Three Friends of Biku Mountain

The ruins of the Dongmen family.

After the location of the Spirit Vein was occupied by the Sanshan Association, it was renamed Sanshan Peak.

The land of spiritual beauty at the peak is naturally for the enjoyment of the various Foundation Establishment masters.

As for the areas in the middle where Spirit Qi gathers, most are supplied to the internal members of the Sanshan Association, with a small portion rented out to outsiders.

The Cave Abode that Aaron rents is named 'Taohua Ao', and from not far away, one can gaze upon Linggui Chi.

It is once again the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

"Nothing... it is just that I rented the Cave Abode only for the sake of Foundation Establishment; now that the Foundation Establishment is complete, it is time to return it."

After this person left, the second brother could not help but say: "Big Brother... are we just letting him off so cheaply?"

"Oh, fellow Daoist..."

He is dressed in white, his face like jade, truly the very image of a peach blossom youth.

Aaron has already discarded the mask of a Demonic Dao cultivator.

After all, if he wants to continue using the Spirit Vein of Sanshan Market to cultivate in the future, then this cultivation level cannot be hidden.

The eldest brother laughed: "But how difficult is Foundation Establishment for us Loose Cultivators? I fear it is still impossible to succeed..."

The third brother with triangular eyes said with a grin.

And the Sanshan Association is a force of the Loose Cultivator Alliance!

"Find a way, what way could I possibly find?"

"Of course, of course, we all understand the rules."

The eldest brother said with a smile: "The Vein Protecting Pill can only protect one from dying if Foundation Establishment fails, it has no possibility of aiding Foundation Establishment at all... This person absolutely cannot succeed, and will even be severely injured. At that time... once we follow him out of the market, it will be like picking something up! I only want the other Vein Protecting Pill in his hands, everything else belongs to you!"

Aaron watched the other party handle the procedures with nimble hands and feet, return the Spirit Stones, and mention nothing else; he could not help but feel satisfied, then turned and left Sanshan Peak.

"Hmm, Big Brother is right. That person can't just keep hiding in the Cave Abode, waiting for his injuries to heal before coming out, right?"

Several figures, however, sneakily arrived outside Taohua Ao, looking at the array shrouded in white mist, pointing and gesturing incessantly.

"Not good... Foundation Establishment Divine Sense!"

The Biku Mountain Three Friends felt a cold Divine Sense sweeping over them without restraint, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and they shivered violently.

"Haha... rather than worrying about that, it is better to worry about what we should do if the other party has heaven-defying luck and actually succeeds in Foundation Establishment?"

"Originally, if Foundation Establishment failed, carrying a huge sum of money would be a big problem... but now there is no problem."

Shen Zui sighed: "Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment..."

As for that time with Shopkeeper You... no one knew who did it, and the Sanshan Association even thought Shopkeeper You had run away early!

The second brother laughed.

The previously indifferent cultivator glanced at Aaron, felt the terrifying, undisguised gap in Dharma Power from the other party, and his expression could not help but change: "No, no, Senior wants to return the Cave Abode? Is there anything you are not satisfied with?"

In Taohua Ao, Aaron's figure slowly walked out.

Instantly, these three friends were like Three Rats, fleeing headlong...

As for those few Qi Refining Loose Cultivators peeking with their Divine Sense?

Aaron already considered them dead men!

The moment his Divine Sense discovered them, he had quietly placed a Divine Sense mark on them.

In any case, Aaron still has many Spirit Stones on hand; at worst, he can just keep renewing the contract.

Just at this moment, Shen Qingchen tugged on his sleeve.

Shen Qingchen advised: "Yu Shu is blessed by heaven, he will be fine."

At this time, he arrived at the place responsible for renting Cave Abodes in the Sanshan Association and found the cultivator in charge of this matter: "Returning the Cave Abode..."

"Run!"

In any case, his Demonic Dao mask identity hadn't done anything; at most, he had fenced some stolen goods, and the Hundred Ghost Banner had not been exposed. Under his current identity, those were not issues.

Aaron smiled slightly and handed over the Cave Abode Token.

"If I can find a spiritual land even better than the Taohua Ao Cave Abode to cultivate in... with Three Spirit Roots, it doesn't count as a bottleneck; I could cultivate to Foundation Establishment Perfection in a hundred years, right?"

"Is there no backdoor, to create some kind of accident?" The one with triangular eyes continued to offer ideas.

"So that is how it is, congratulations, Senior."

He was so scared that his speech trembled, and at the same time, he was thinking rapidly: why did this Foundation Establishment master feel so unfamiliar?

"Father, look!"

"Father... you have already come here to look several times."

He would just wait for them to leave Sanshan Market and then slaughter them all—after all, he still had to give some face to that Ancestor turtle.

Rather than trying to find a way to fabricate lies to explain where Fang Laoban of the Small Talisman Hall obtained the opportunity for Foundation Establishment, it was better to just admit it openly and generously!

"Absolutely not, it's probably a fake identity!" another person replied; Loose Cultivators are all familiar with this.

The yellow-robed cultivator sneered: "Biku Mountain Three Friends, I am only responsible for leading the way and gathering information... You stay here and monitor; you cannot make a move as long as you don't leave the market. Apart from that, everything else has nothing to do with me, understand?"

Hearing that Aaron was a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator, the cultivator's face showed envy, while he secretly memorized the other party's appearance, preparing to report it to the Elder immediately.

"Sigh... my old friend even mortgaged his shop this time; his determination is great... I fear that if he fails to auction the Foundation Establishment Pill, he will do something foolish." Shen Zui sighed.

The yellow-robed cultivator sneered upon hearing this: "This is right under the nose of Hongyu Laozu; what do you want me to do? Lead you to attack someone else's Cave Abode? Disgrace the reputation of the Sanshan Association and cause many fellow Daoists to lose faith and turn against us? Who can afford that responsibility? In the end, wouldn't I be the one who suffers?!"

He did not know that he had guessed Aaron's plan; if Foundation Establishment failed, he would certainly wait until his injuries were healed before coming out.

"Heh... you silly boy, you aren't as shrewd as your daughter."

"This is tens of thousands of Spirit Stones... Fellow Daoist Fang, you are a deacon of the Sanshan Association, can't you think of a way?" a triangular-eyed cultivator said, unwilling to give up.

The medicinal power of the Youth Preserving Pill is limited and can only last for a few decades, but the youth-preserving effect of cultivation techniques is permanent! As long as one does not disperse their cultivation, it is impossible for it to fail!

Zixinchen was already old and frail; at this time, he leaned on his cane and came over to advise: "You said you didn't see Fang Daoyou at the Auction House; that is because he deliberately disguised his identity... Fang Daoyou's determination this time is astonishing; he even gave up the hen that lays golden eggs. Even if he cannot auction a Foundation Establishment Pill, he must have at least one Vein Protecting Pill. He has gone into seclusion to break through... With the help of the pill, he will not pass away, so you can rest assured..."

The eldest of the Biku Mountain Three Friends smiled and comforted: "After the deed is done... your share will not be missing, fellow Daoist."

Shen Zui, accompanied by another stunning woman with an ethereal and graceful temperament, had already wandered around several times.

"What of it? We didn't actually make a move; we only came here to admire the fellow Daoist's demeanor..."

"Have you found out their background and origins?"

"Hehe..."

This Loose Cultivator, who broke through by utilizing the Cave Abode of the Sanshan Association, was clearly without a sect or clan, and had no family support.

"Even if the Cave Abode's Array Formation has a back door, it is not in my hands; it is only held by Ancestor Hongyu and a few Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators."

"Sigh... if you want to live well, you must learn to bow your head. Robbing Spirit Stones isn't shameful... and they truly wouldn't dirty the hands of the Sanshan Association for just these ten thousand or so Spirit Stones."

It was just that recruiting a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator was not something he could decide on his own.

"That dark-faced cultivator has headed straight here ever since the Auction House; it seems he is preparing to attempt Foundation Establishment."

Aaron would not become arrogant just because he had become a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

"Father-in-law is right."

Suddenly, his laughter stopped abruptly, like a duck with its throat pinched.

Sanshan Market, outside the Cave Abode that Aaron originally rented.

"After Foundation Establishment, with the Youth Preserving effect of the Mingyu Art as a cover, I can still stay in this Sanshan Market for another hundred and some years!"

Shen Zui looked in the direction his daughter was pointing and saw a young man in white clothes approaching with a smile on his lips; everything was just like yesterday, and he could not help but be stunned.

Zixinchen, who was beside him, had a look of disbelief, envy, and jealousy flash through his eyes, but in the end, he bowed deeply: "Greetings, Senior! Congratulations to Senior on your successful Foundation Establishment; the path to immortality is promising!"
