Originally, Lin Xuan didn’t bother taking care of a few tails, but he didn’t know if it was because these guys were overconfident with their Foundation Establishment Late-stage cultivation, so they flew closer.
Do they really think that he couldn’t detect them with his Spiritual Sense?
Lin Xuan showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he noticed a valley in front of him, and flew over.
It was true that it could attract attention if he acted himself, but if they suffered by accident, Lin Xuan would naturally be extremely happy.
Moments later, he landed at the mouth of the valley.
A white mist lingered in the valley, other than that, there was nothing special.
However, Lin Xuan’s face showed a solemn expression. He tapped his storage bag, and a white jade bottle was taken out. After opening the cork and pouring out a pill, he consumed it. His figure then flashed and entered into the middle of the valley.
After a while, a Blue Light flew over from the sky.
When the blue light dispersed, a cultivator wearing a blue robe emerged from it.
Jiang Yan was a rising star among the third generation disciples of the Blue Cloud Mountain. In just over 70 years, he had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Late-stage.
In another ten years, he should be able to enter the Great Perfection, also known as the False Core.
Although he was not the best among his peers, he was still one of the most promising Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
His peers may be very envious, and the term False Core could seem prestigious, but Jiang Yan knew that even if he had really achieved it, and that it appeared that he was only one step away from the Core Formation Stage, however, that one step was an insurmountable gap.
There were numerous talented cultivators. However, every increase in the cultivation realm, the harder it would become. Usually, among a hundred Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, only two or three would be lucky. Most of them could only linger in the bottom forever.
Enjoying the feeling of being looked up to, Jiang Yan was confident and proud in front of others. But he was also clear about his own circumstances. Whenever he was alone in the quiet of night, his heart would become full of fear and worry. In case his Core Formation failed and his halo faded, what would his companions think of him at the time? Schadenfreude and ridicule…
Whenever he thought about this, he felt a sense of restlessness.
Worry and fear tortured him like a nightmare.
Therefore, he would never let go of the opportunity to monitor Spirit Pill Mountain. The Grand Elders had stated that to whoever makes a great contribution this time, they would personally perform a heaven-defying magical power to cleanse their marrow.
With the help of two Nascent Soul Stage masters, condensing a Golden Core should be easy.
Jiang Yan felt hot all over when he thought of this.
In order to be assigned a good task, he also tried his best to please the leader of this mission. Martial Uncle Taibai, in hopes of receiving his care.
The hard work really paid off. Although the young boy in front of him was inconspicuous, he was the young master of Spirit Medicine Mountain. Maybe he could find some clues from such a big fish!
Looking at the valley blocked by the fog, he had an ominous premonition for some reason. However, thinking of the two Grand Elders’ promise, Jiang Yan could not retreat.
After contemplating for a while, he released his Spiritual Sense, wanting to investigate the situation inside.
Although he didn’t care about a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment mid-stage, there was no harm in being careful.
With his cultivation base, his Spiritual Sense could easily cover a few miles, but after only reaching a few feet of fog, the scenery in front of him becomes blurred.
This fog is weird!
Jiang Yan’s face showed a hint of hesitation.
But soon, it was replaced by determination. He tapped his storage bag and took out an iron-ruler shaped Spirit Tool.
It was given to him by the sect after he made a great contribution, and was a Top Grade Spirit Tool.
With this treasure in hand, Jiang Yan suddenly became more courageous, and he displayed a Magic Art. The Sky Ruler released a layer of blue Barrier, which shrouded him.
Jiang Yan then stepped into the valley.
“Hmph, Jiang Yan is quite a bit famous. But I didn’t expect him to be as timid as a rat.”
A young man and woman appeared at the place where he just stood. They both seemed to be only twenty years old, but by inferring from their cultivation base, which was at the Foundation Establishment Late-stage, it should be far more than that. Their youthful appearance should be the result of their unique Cultivation Method and the consumption of pills.
“Don’t say that, Junior sister. The fog in this valley is indeed weird, it can actually shield itself from our Spiritual Sense. Be careful, we mustn’t fall into the other party’s trap, causing us to regret it.”
The young man appeared to be more poised, and was dressed like a young master, with a white robe, a folding fan, and looked extremely handsome.
The woman next to him was dressed very boldly, not only exposing all her calf and arms, even her navel was showing. Her breasts were bountiful and she looked extremely sexy.
These two were disciples of Thunder Cloud Mountain, and they were also a Daoist Couple.
Just like the saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover”. Thunder Cloud Mountain, this sect may sound very serious, but in fact, it was actually at Dual Cultivation.
Of course, one couldn’t just blame it for that. Dual Cultivation was also a true kind of Cultivation Method, and it was very powerful. It was said that those who practice it could freely and easily communicate with each other, and they could also help their partner when they enter Qi Deviation.
In Thunder Cloud Mountain, their disciples, mainly those at the Foundation Establishment Stage would be encouraged to Dual Cultivate.
The woman listened to the words of her male partner, and a trace of displeasure flashed across her eyes, “You useless fellow, you are also as timid as a mouse. My eyes were blind to choose to enter the path of Dual Cultivation with you. If you’re afraid, don’t follow me then.”
With that, she walked into the white fog without displaying any precautions at all.
The man was scolded, but he did not talk back at all. After lowering his head, a trace of haze flashed across his face.
Why did he enter Dual Cultivation with this arrogant Wu Yuner? Although this woman was very beautiful, she had a fierce temperament. She would beat and scold him repeatedly, and did not have an ounce of respect for him.
But she was the Sect Leader’s daughter after all. If he wanted to keep staying in Thunder Cloud Mountain, he would have to follow his Martial Aunt’s will.
