Chapter 68: Is the Heavenly Dao Foundation Hard to Obtain?
No one would have thought that she, Chi Jiuyu, would actually bother to understand these things.
This kind of unexpected preparation will definitely become an advantage for her when she competes for the Sect Leader position in the future!
She was already imagining the scene during the election where someone would use this to make things difficult for her, and then she would hit back and turn the tables!
Haha!
"Shishu, you absolutely must keep this a secret for me. I haven't told anyone else," Chi Jiuyu added.
"Even Senior Sister?"
"Master knows."
After all, Master won't compete for the Sect Leader position with her, so she usually just hid next to her and watched.
That way others wouldn't notice!
Anyway, Master is not like Shishu; she only has one disciple, so wouldn't she support her?!
Emm...
Probably?

Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, Foundation Establishment Comprehensive Service Center.
It was still Cultivation Room Number Nine for the Cailian Method. The staff member stared intently at Zhang Yunlu, who was sitting in the center, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Around her, a thin layer of frost constantly spread outwards, and the chill filled the entire cultivation room.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yunlu herself had a pale Face at this time, her breathing and heartbeat were almost imperceptible, the speed of her blood flow had dropped to an extremely low level, and her hair, eyelashes, and various parts of her body were covered in white frost.
If not for the Spirit Observation Technique still being able to detect the pulsing flame of life within Zhang Yunlu, the staff member might have thought she was dead.
"Truly remarkable."
At this point, she had reached the most crucial 'Refining' stage, but what the staff member found somewhat admirable was that she still chose that violent Cailian Method.
She had worked here for over ten years, overseeing many people practicing the Cailian Method.
But she had never seen anyone like Zhang Yunlu.
After a long while, the gradually weakening breathing and heartbeat finally began to recover.
She succeeded!
She actually completed the second stage of Cailian Method cultivation!
The staff member held her breath and did not step forward immediately.
Just then, Zhang Yunlu slowly opened her eyes, and the fine white frost hanging on her eyelashes fell off. She wanted to move, but found her body incredibly stiff.
"Please wait a moment," the staff member quickly said.
Then she rushed to her side and took out a red pill. The pill was translucent, like carved red jade, with a faint pill pattern.
Crimson Sun Pill.
Every cultivator prepares one when practicing the second stage of the Cailian Method.
"Can you still open your mouth?"
Zhang Yunlu couldn't speak, but she managed to open her mouth with difficulty.
The staff member put the pill into her mouth and then helped her close it.
The Crimson Sun Pill melted upon entering her mouth, turning into a warm current that spread throughout her body. Under the effect of this medicinal power, her stiff body began to regain sensation little by little.
After Zhang Yunlu closed her eyes again, the staff member stepped aside and returned to the workstation.
Looking at the figure in the center who was regulating her breathing, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes, but also some relief.
Since she started working here all these years, she had seen many people practicing the Cailian Method, and the more she watched, the more she felt that her choice to use external objects for Foundation Establishment back then was correct.
She didn't even survive the first stage back then, let alone the second stage like this, which was practically walking between life and death.
Alas~
The Heavenly Dao Foundation is difficult to obtain, and perhaps only people with such a disposition can build it.
The frost on the surrounding ground receded, and the layer of white frost covering Zhang Yunlu also began to melt. Her pale Face gradually turned rosy.
She slowly got up, her Face covered in some moisture, water droplets dripped from the ends of her long hair, and her clothes were soaked.
Because she wasn't wearing thick clothes, the fabric clung to her body, revealing the color of her skin.
Fortunately, she had prepared a change of clothes.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yunlu changed into a new set of clothes and walked out of Cultivation Room Number Nine for the Cailian Method with the staff member.
"Congratulations on passing the second stage of the Cailian Method cultivation." This time, it wasn't just for the commission, but a heartfelt blessing.
"Thank you."
"May I ask if you have any intention of joining the Sword Sect? If so, I will report your information to the Sect."
Cultivators like Zhang Yunlu, who pass the second stage of Cailian Method cultivation and are likely to establish a Heavenly Dao Foundation, are not very numerous even within the Immortal Sect.
According to regulations, they can attempt to recruit her into the Sect.
Hearing this, a ripple appeared in Zhang Yunlu's eyes.
Join... the Sword Sect?

The next morning.
The thin mist dissipated, and the morning sun rose.
The sunlight penetrated the clouds and mist. Xiao Fan, who had cultivated all night, slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of colorful glazed light flashed in his clear black and white pupils.
He picked up the Danhua Cup from the side, which contained a crystalline, translucent, faintly glowing white liquid – Primeval Essence!
Like the Yangjing Danxi, it was condensed from the purest moonlight.
The surface of the liquid rippled slightly, and a faint chill could be felt.
Xiao Fan drank it in one gulp, feeling as refreshed as if he had drunk a glass of ice water on a hot day.
Immediately, he inwardly observed himself.
He saw the True Essence enter his mouth, turning into a ball of bright white light that continuously moved downwards, reaching above his Dantian, like a bright full moon suspended above a golden spirit sea.
Puff!
With an extremely subtle sound, the entire ball of white light exploded, turning into countless tiny light points.
The moon condensed into cold stars. Tiny white light particles, trailing tails of flame, fell into that vast golden spirit sea.
The gold gradually faded, and the spiritual energy in the spirit sea began to solidify.
In just a few minutes, the entire spirit sea had become crystalline, clear to the bottom.
The change in the spirit sea did not stop there. A strange symbol rose from the spirit sea, its meaning being...
Herding all living beings, taking their spirits, and nourishing my own!
"It's done."
The cultivation process for the first layer of the "Shepherding the Soul and Nourishing My Being Scripture" was even easier than he had imagined.
This first layer allows him to seize the spiritual nature of wild beasts, minor ghosts, and Qi Training cultivators to nourish himself, but grass, trees, all things, and even stars are not something he can do now.
He opened his hand, and a strand of crystal-clear, almost invisible spiritual energy flowed out, constantly moving in his palm.
Its essence was so strong that it was almost not inferior to the True Essence of a Foundation Establishment cultivator who used external objects.
He had previously drunk enough Yangjing Danxi and then harmonized it with this cup of Primeval Essence, which was equivalent to passing the three stages of the Human Clan's Cailian Method.
If he could obtain another heaven and earth treasure and extract its divine essence, he could establish a Heavenly Dao Foundation.
The state that many people achieved after narrowly escaping death and enduring great pain was now within his reach.
"And... there is more than just this one path."
Bearing the Cang Clan Bloodline, he only needed to seize spiritual nature with the "Shepherding the Soul and Nourishing My Being Scripture" and would not need the divine essence of heaven and earth treasures.
Putting away the Danhua Cup, he got up from the bed. Xiao Fan was preparing to try out the effects of the "Shepherding the Soul and Nourishing My Being Scripture".
However, as soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he heard a sound by the door.
Creak~
As the door opened, his parents and Brother came in, carrying many things, chatting and laughing.
