Chapter 243

"Chen Sanzhong, this guidance on the path of foundation establishment has been very beneficial, thank you very much."

"Junior Brother Yu, you are too polite; we are under the same roof in the small courtyard and are fellow disciples, so helping each other is as it should be."

Yu Ke was sincerely grateful for these words; this neighbor he met today not only treated him to "breakfast" but also spent an entire morning explaining the subtle and cautious aspects of foundation establishment thoroughly and clearly.

In Yu Ke's mind, the Outer Sect elders of the Profound Heaven Sect might not be able to teach so deeply and simply.

Moreover, asking Outer Sect elders for "difficult and complicated diseases" on the path of cultivation also requires spending a lot of spirit stones.

This situation is like seeing a doctor for a medical consultation in his previous life.

"Registration" is inevitable.

There is also a distinction between "expert appointments" and "general appointments" in between.

Chen Jingqiu's attainment is undoubtedly an "expert appointment" that is worth more than the price.

However!

A trace of doubt arose in Yu Ke's heart; Chen Jingqiu clearly hadn't established his foundation yet, so how could he have such a profound insight into the path of foundation establishment?

He even talked about the various details after foundation establishment eloquently.

Or was it taught to him by the elders of the Chen family?

"Luoyun Peak, Chen Jingqiu..." Yu Ke chewed on this name repeatedly in his heart.

A prominent family of the three continents, and born with true spirits willing to protect him, this new neighbor doesn't seem to be a thing in a pond.

Seeing that the time was late, Yu Ke said goodbye and left, planning to go to the East Garden of the Outer Sect today to rent a cultivation grotto-heaven.

In preparation for foundation establishment.

"Chen Sanzhong, Junior Sister Wang, I'll take my leave first!"

Xie Wanwan also hurriedly followed and stepped out of the small courtyard with Yu Ke.

Passing by the carriage outside the small courtyard, Yu Ke couldn't help but glance a few more times at the woman holding the zither with dignity.

She covered her eyes with white gauze, her long dress dragging lightly, covering her legs, adding a bit of dignity and mystery.

As Chen Jingqiu's maid, she kept her place and stayed outside the courtyard.

Yu Ke guessed in his heart, are mermaids really as described in legends, with a human upper body and a fish tail lower body?

He looked at her a few more times, trying to capture a trace of mermaid characteristics from this woman, but in the end, he gained nothing.

Xie Wanwan, from the side, cautiously and expectantly reached out her hand, wanting to touch the "Thunder Marsh Bai Hu" pulling the carriage, this white "big cat" in Yu Ke's eyes.

The big cat didn't appreciate it, silently tilted its head, dodged, covered it with its furry paws, stuck out its tongue and licked it, and shook its tail leisurely.

Seeing this, Yu Ke laughed dumbly.

The other party withdrew a "head touch"!

Xie Wanwan retracted her hand unwillingly; after all, this is a spirit beast white tiger, one has to give some face, it's not some domestic "little cat."

The woman holding the zither noticed Yu Ke's gaze and bowed slightly to salute.

Yu Ke also returned the salute.

Afterwards, Yu Ke and Xie Wanwan left the small courtyard and walked towards the East Garden of the Outer Sect.

Yu Ke calculated in his heart that although his savings were not much, they were enough for him to buy the pills needed for foundation establishment and rent a suitable grotto-heaven.

He had already excluded the plan of establishing the foundation in the small courtyard.

His predecessor was "poor and white" and had no other way, and originally there were only him and Xie Wanwan in the small courtyard.

Today is different from the past.

The small courtyard has new neighbors.

In the Outer Sect, only the East Garden can provide grotto-heavens, and the price is not cheap, charged by the hour.

But the space inside the grotto-heaven is a treasure land for cultivators, with large ones accommodating hundreds of acres and small ones the size of a palace, and the spiritual energy is several times richer than the outside world.

More importantly, the security of the grotto-heaven is extremely high, and it can only be opened from the inside; if outsiders want to enter, only the shop owner holding the "grotto-heaven key" can do it.

In this way, cultivators can safely establish their foundation in the grotto-heaven without fear of interference and threats from the outside world.

Generally speaking.

If Outer Sect disciples want to establish their foundation, they will carefully choose a grotto-heaven and hire sect elders to come and protect them.

After all, the process of foundation establishment is extremely dangerous, and having elders to protect them undoubtedly adds a layer of safety.

Of course, hiring elders also requires spending spirit stones.

The sect elders, regardless of seniority or strength, are all clearly priced.

Yu Ke didn't intend to hire one; after all, he carried heavy treasures, so he had to be careful.

He was also amazed in his heart; it is said that this set of regulations has been in use since the establishment of the Profound Heaven Sect.

The ancestor who designed this operating system for the Profound Heaven Sect.

Is truly a "ghost talent."

The main point is that the Profound Heaven Sect does not keep idlers.

In the small courtyard.

Chen Jingqiu and the other remained in the courtyard.

Chen Jingqiu walked slowly towards the "martial arts field" open space in the courtyard, where several humanoid wooden puppets for sparring were placed.

There was also a row of weapons: knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.

He walked straight to the puppet where Yu Ke had just been, looking at a sword mark on the puppet with focused eyes.

Wang Yunxi followed with full curiosity, looking at her cousin Chen Jingqiu stroking the sword mark on the puppet so seriously, and couldn't help but be a bit puzzled.

"Cousin, what is so special about this sword mark?"

Chen Jingqiu said: "You try slashing it."

Wang Yunxi took a magic sword from her storage bag; she was selected by the Profound Heaven Sect to join the Inner Sect directly.

Apart from the Langya Wang family behind her, her own cultivation aptitude was also not bad.

Having just entered for one year, she was already at the perfection of the Second Heavenly Ladder, the small and large heavenly circuits had long been fully opened, and she possessed two divine anomalies.

【Golden Skin and Jade Bones】

【Copper Skin and Iron Bones】

The Second Heavenly Ladder is also called the Body-Washing Realm.

Absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, washing the meridians in the body, clearing the acupoints, aiming to temper the muscles and bones, making them tougher, thereby achieving the effect of washing the marrow and cutting the bones, and being reborn.

In fact, the essence is still to lay a solid foundation for foundation establishment.

Wang Yunxi held the magic sword, and a faint bright moon appeared behind her, rising slowly like a tide, emitting soft radiance.

"Bright Moon Rising from the Sea!"

This is a Dao Art inherited from the bloodline of the Langya Wang family; those with innate talent only need to drive their bloodline, without foundation establishment, to drive it.

Wang Yunxi secretly thought, "Cousin, just watch carefully."

Being in the same Second Heavenly Ladder realm, and possessing the blessing of bloodline Dao Art, how could she be worse than Yu Ke?

Thinking of this, Wang Yunxi was full of confidence, exerted all her strength, and gave a delicate shout.

"Pa—"

A deep scratch from a diagonal slash appeared on the black iron-colored puppet, going down more than three inches deep.

It was even deeper than Yu Ke's.

Wang Yunxi restrained the joy on her face, looked at her cousin, and waited for a compliment.

Chen Jingqiu didn't care at all and glanced at it lightly.

"Do you know that for this slash just now, this Junior Brother Yu only used about one-tenth of his spiritual power."

Hearing this, Wang Yunxi had disbelief on her face.

"How is this possible!"

"Yu Ke hasn't established his foundation yet, and he didn't use a Dao Art just now; Cousin, did you see it wrong?"

Chen Jingqiu said lightly: "What do you think?"

"In the sect, shouldn't you call him Yu Shixiong? You just called Junior Brother Yu by his name directly; is this how Uncle taught you?"

The tone was distant and indifferent.

Wang Yunxi looked at her cousin, who was tall, handsome, and standing with his hands behind his back.

Pear blossoms spun and fell on his shoulders, and he used such a cold tone towards her.

Wang Yunxi felt inexplicably aggrieved.

I am your good cousin.

You turned your elbow out for an outsider you just met and scolded your own cousin.

Don't think that just because you are my cousin, you can do this.

I am the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, and Mother has never scolded me like this.

"Not convinced?"

Wang Yunxi lowered her head weakly and whispered: "No!"

Chen Jingqiu flicked his finger in the void, and an invisible wind blade flew towards the black iron-colored puppet.

"Pa—"

It wasn't the sound of hitting the puppet, but the sound of the puppet being split into two halves and falling to the ground.

Chen Jingqiu looked at the smooth cutting surface inside the puppet, which had markings like ripples.

Wang Yunxi walked over to look and found that the inside of the upper part of the puppet had been completely damaged.

"What do you think now?"

"This was caused by one sword strike from... Yu Shixiong Yu?"

Chen Jingqiu nodded.

Wang Yunxi still found it unbelievable, but her cousin shouldn't have seen it wrong.

Using only one-tenth of his strength, without using a Dao Art, he destroyed the interior of this "Iron Wood" in one blow.

What kind of sword technique is this!

A group of spiritual light flickered in front of Chen Jingqiu's chest, shining on the puppet, and the puppet that had been split into two joined together as before, restoring its original appearance.

If anyone else were here, they would definitely be shocked.

The "wind blade" just now and the miraculous "Dao Art" now.

He had already used two Dao Arts, so lightly.

However, Chen Jingqiu had not established his foundation yet.

Wang Yunxi was not surprised; her cousin had been a "heaven-favored child" who transcended common sense since childhood.

Among the younger generation of Wang Yunxi's generation, Chen Jingqiu was the number one who no one could match.

When he read the Dao scriptures at night in his youth, starlight from the nine heavens shone down to illuminate him.

He had finished reading ten thousand volumes of Dao scriptures by the age of three.

By the age of four, he had been designated as the next head of the family by the ancestor of the clan, and his father also became the head of the Chen family of this generation because of his cousin.

After growing up a little, his cousin began to travel through the three continents.

In Wang Yunxi's view, it was not strange that her cousin knew several Dao Arts without having established his foundation at the Second Heavenly Ladder.

At this moment!

Chen Jingqiu looked at the white pear blossoms falling in the courtyard, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems this trip to the Profound Heaven Sect will not be boring."
