Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Yun Yao
The next day.
Lin Chang’an paid a visit, calling upon Yun Yao’s cave mansion, and explained his purpose.
"Have the Foundation Establishnt Materials been prepared?"
Upon hearing that even a Demon Core had been obtained, a flicker of surprise appeared in Yun Yao’s eyes, knowing well how difficult it was to hunt down a Tier Two Demon Beast.
Back then, she had to put in much effort, but this seemingly ordinary and unremarkable Lin Chang’an managed to finish off a Tier Two Demon Beast, without anyone knowing when.
Yun Yao did not inquire further, rely nodding lightly, her face sowhat pale.
"I thought Mr. Lin, you would ask
to assist you in hunting a Tier Two Demon Beast."
Lin Chang’an smiled awkwardly. He had considered it; if he couldn’t complete it alone, it would be foolish not to use the favor.
Of course, asking Yun Yao to hunt a demon beast alone was sothing he hadn’t thought of; she wasn’t his maid, after all.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it wasn’t unusual for Qi Refining Cultivators to painstakingly scout a demon beast’s location, and then invite a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator to slay it together.
"Mr. Yun, you know I’m just a Loose Cultivator, easily targeted, so I’ll leave the pill-making to you."
Lin Chang’an not only handed over the materials and cost for the Foundation Establishnt Pill but also partially repaid the Middle Grade Spirit Stones borrowed last ti.
Seeing this, Yun Yao raised her eyebrows and teasingly remarked.
"Mr. Lin, you certainly have the courage. A complete set of Foundation Establishnt Materials is quite valuable to a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator."
"Mr. Yun’s character is reassuring."
Lin Chang’an nodded calmly. If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, he might have worried, but would a direct disciple of a Golden Core Elder covet this stuff?
Lin Chang’an smirked. Others might lack Top-Grade Magical Artifacts, but he couldn’t believe a Golden Core True Man’s disciple would.
Besides, during the Cyan Bamboo Mountain Market, the spoils from eliminating remnants of the Demon Cult were almost equivalent to a Foundation Establishnt Pill.
This person was indifferent, focusing solely on rit.
What he lacked, Yun Yao didn’t care for, and what Yun Yao lacked was similarly useless to him.
"All right."
Yun Yao nodded faintly.
"Are you injured?"
Noticing Yun Yao’s pale complexion, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.
"If it’s inconvenient, the pill refinent can be postponed."
Though it would delay things, he wasn’t in a rush for those few months.
"No need, I just carelessly got lightly injured while eliminating a few Demon Cult remnants outside."
Yun Yao waved it off nonchalantly, indicating for him to et her in a few days to visit an Alchemist, while pushing the Foundation Establishnt Materials back, signaling him to keep them for now.
But Lin Chang’an didn’t take them, instead smiling and saluting, "In that case, I’ll visit Mr. Yun in two days."
He who suspects doesn’t employ, he who employs doesn’t suspect.
Since he had already made his choice, acting otherwise would seem petty.
Moreover, ever since he broke through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, cultivators often visited his cave mansion.
They all had plans to hunt demon beasts or jointly refine pills, so were sincere, while others harbored ulterior motives.
But since he had the materials ready, and his spirit root wasn’t of high quality, how could he co-refine pills with others?
Now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Having been so cautious, refining the Foundation Establishnt Pill shouldn’t cause issues."
Lin Chang’an mused, believing he had accounted for all potential mishaps.
...
Inside the cave mansion.
After Lin Chang’an left, Yun Yao gazed at his fading back, lost in thought, finally letting out a long sigh.
"Low-grade Spirit Root; hopefully, the pill refinent goes smoothly. If there are two or three Foundation Establishnt Pills, Foundation Establishnt might not be hard."
Yun Yao approved of Lin Chang’an’s risky choice to hunt for a Demon Core. As a Loose Cultivator with poor spirit root aptitude, if he didn’t even have the courage to strive, then he deserved not to achieve Foundation Establishnt in this lifeti.
Prior, she was uncertain about Lin Chang’an’s Foundation Establishnt prospects with a low-grade spirit root, but now she had so confidence.
"Chang Chun Skill inherently has the effect of delaying aging, amassing strength for a breakthrough. Its mana is gentle and robust, not as advantageous as other techniques initially, but not inferior later, plus his age..."
If luck favored in the pill refinent, producing three pills ant a seventy to eighty percent chance of Foundation Establishnt.
As Yun Yao was imrsed in contemplation, a flush suddenly covered her face. As her throat convulsed, a trickle of crimson flowed from her lips, her eyes reflecting a cold light.
"Damn it! The complete Gui Water Divine Skill is so overbearing, its yin energy invades the viscera. If I didn’t have a treasure with , I would’ve been seriously injured."
Yun Yao’s brow was full of fatigue, the trickle of crimson from her lips fell on the ground, instantly freezing with a cold aura.
"Li Huo Palace! And the Profound Yin Demon Sect!"
Reflecting on this, Yun Yao smirked coldly; even if Profound Yin Demon Sect provided the so-called Gui Water Divine Skill, it probably wasn’t complete.
"You’ve underestimated the talents in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Perhaps I, Yun Yao, lack aptitude, but the efforts of Li Huo Palace’s centuries of cultivators have long found a way to complete it. I owe much to my good master Huang Laogui now!"
"Since you wish for
to raise my cultivation, I won’t let you down."
...
As Lin Chang’an left Yun Yao’s cave mansion, passing by Danxin Residence, he couldn’t help but smile.
This ti, he wouldn’t need to refine pills with others or worry about any mishaps.
As Lin Chang’an passed Danxin Residence, Huang Yuntian and his son were also just leaving it.
"Father, I’ve worried you."
"Silence! Of all things to learn, you chose to learn the Yin Yang Replenishnt thod. Do you think it’s so easy? Look at you, you haven’t even reached Foundation Establishnt; I have to humble myself for your sake."
"If you’d just show so aspiration, you’d have reached Foundation Establishnt long ago, instead of this farce!"
Huang Yuntian glared furiously at his son; if it weren’t for him being his only promising child, why would he take such asures?
Huang Shaohai lowered his head in sha. Recently, while cultivating the Yin Yang Replenishnt thod, a mishap occurred, making his internal mana chaotic, necessitating preparation of extra Foundation Establishnt Pills.
"The situation is so tense now; I’ll look elsewhere for solutions, but make sothing of yourself! If you can’t achieve Foundation Establishnt now, then return to the sect!"
Upon hearing his father’s warning, Huang Shaohai’s face changed instantly, knowing he would be abandoned if he failed this ti.
"Rest assured, Father; although there’s been a problem with the Yin Yang Replenishnt thod, my mana is far superior to those of the sa level. Once I establish my foundation, my strength will outmatch ordinary Foundation Establishnt cultivators."
Huang Shaohai declared his advantage with determination, prompting Huang Yuntian to suppress his anger reluctantly.
After all, it was his son; despite the increased difficulty of obtaining the Foundation Establishnt Pill, once successful, his mana would far surpass an ordinary Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
Then, the father-son duo attaining Foundation Establishnt could stand proud before the patriarch.
