Volume 1: Xiao City, Xiao Family, Xiao Chen Chapter 100: Difficulty in Finding the Foundation Establishment Method

  A few days later, a green robe flashed by the stone wall, and Xiao Chen walked out quickly with his eyebrows furrowed. He turned around and cast dozens of spells on the stone wall, with a hint of bitter smile still on his face.

  "This time it's troublesome, I didn't expect that a moment of carelessness would completely destroy this place."

  Xiao Chen thought of this place, and his heart was filled with bitter smiles. For the past few days, he had been busy refining the Toxic Beast Dan. The first pellet had successfully passed through a day of refinement, and although Xiao Chen had consumed a huge amount, he was extremely delighted in his heart. After swallowing the dan and meditating for a day, waiting for his magical powers and divine sense to fully recover, he began refining again for the second time. Unexpectedly, when the Toxic Beast took shape, he accidentally caused the refinement to fail, and under the spread of the toxin, Xiao Chen could only quickly take away all the matured spiritual medicine in the mountain's belly medicine garden before fleeing in disarray.

  "There's a prohibition on defense, this poisonous gas shouldn't have been released in the first place." Not until the last spell was cast did Xiao Chen's face reveal a hint of relief.

  "It wasn't a waste of effort after all, I've finally refined the Poison Beast Dan." Xiao Chen turned his hand over and took out a jade bottle from his storage bag. On it were stuck seventeen or eighteen sealing talismans, almost completely wrapping up the entire jade bottle. Inside this jade bottle, a large thumb-sized, glossy black sphere lay quietly within.

  Xiao Chen carefully looked at it for a while, and a few happy expressions appeared on his face before he put it away.

  Hesitating for a moment, Xiao Chen turned around and headed out of the valley, waving his hand to break through the seal, and with a flash of light on his body, he rushed straight towards the back mountain of Luoyun Valley's main peak.

  "Junior brother's future is boundless, in just three short years he has cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Refining, truly a heaven-gifted talent. Now he has even been taken under the wing of Elder Wang and become my true disciple of Lu Yun Valley. In the future, he will surely soar to great heights. If there's an opportunity later on, please help your senior brother out." At the mountain path entrance stood two disciples of Lu Yun Valley, one of whom was 27 or 28 years old and was quietly conversing with a yellow-robed youth.

  "Senior brother is joking, how dare I be, if we talk about natural talent, I'm afraid that Elder Xiao is the one who is the extraordinary person that Lai Yun Valley hasn't produced in a thousand years. I have always admired him deeply!" The yellow-robed disciple spoke with a hint of regret, "Unfortunately, I only joined the inner sect yesterday and didn't get to see Elder Xiao's magnificence at the Medicine Master's Condensing Dan ceremony, it's truly a pity."

  The elder's face turned solemn and respectful, "Indeed, if it wasn't for Elder Xiao's suppression of Wang Kuanglan that day, I'm afraid I would have lost the sect's grand competition at Luoyun Valley. And Sister Ji would have been defeated by Ming Xianchen of Lieyan Sect! But he didn't even spare a glance at himself, Sister Ji is Elder Xiao's woman, and the one he could only think about. In the end, his dantian was crippled by Master Xiao, serving him right!"

  "It's said that the ancestor of Ming Xiao Chen was one of the two great Golden Elixir cultivators of Lie Yan Sect, and a direct descendant of Ming Xiao Lao Zu. When Shao Shifu took action that day, didn't he try to stop him?" The young cultivator looked puzzled and asked politely: "Please tell me more about what happened that day, I'd love to hear it."

  The elder monk's face showed a few points of pride, as if being able to experience the events of that day was a great honor. He cleared his throat and said, "Alright, I'll tell you since you admire Shao Shifu so much, but I won't say it to anyone else."

  "That day, how could Ming Xiao Lao Zu not take action to stop him? But our Shao Shifu has a certain kind of great divine power, and his speed is like lightning. Before that old guy could even react, he had already defeated Ming Xiao Chen. At the time, Ming Xiao Lao Zu was furious, and he vowed to kill Shao Shifu on the spot. Our Yao Shi Zu were all shocked and quickly went up to stop him. At the time, I thought to myself, 'It's over, this time we're probably going to have a deadly feud with Lie Yan Zong.' But unexpectedly, Shao Shifu was not afraid of the Golden Dan cultivators at all, and he refuted Ming Xiao Chen's actions with ease, making him look like a complete loser. He made Ming Xiao Lao Zu so angry that he was furious, but he didn't dare to take action against him! Being able to scold a Golden Dan cultivator without being able to retort is something that our Lu Yun Gu Shao Shifu has been the only one to do in the entire Northern Hua State's cultivation world for thousands of years!"

  That young monk listened with a look of intoxication, his eyes full of fanatical color, and it seemed that he had already worshipped Xiao Chen to the extreme in his heart.

  At this moment, a green shirt flashed at the corner, and two disciples who were talking suddenly closed their mouths. The older monk frowned slightly, then opened his mouth to shout: "Halt! This is the ancestral hall of our sect's founder, how dare you, a disciple from another lineage, enter without permission? Don't you fear being punished by the sect rules?"

  That young man in a green shirt heard the words and raised his head, but before he could speak, the older monk who was speaking suddenly seemed to get stuck, his face turned bright red instantly, pointing at Xiao Chen "ah" for half a day without saying anything.

  "What? Can't I go in?" Xiao Chen's face showed a hint of surprise as he looked at the two men and spoke slowly.

  "No, no!" The elder monk finally came to his senses and hastily pulled the young monk into a bow, saying respectfully, "Master Xiao, please don't mind, I didn't see clearly that it was you earlier. Otherwise, even if I had the courage of heaven, I wouldn't have dared to block your way. The sect leader has already given orders, you may come and go as you please."

  Xiao Chen heard the words and smiled, not taking it to heart. He nodded at the two of them and walked past their side, following the small path. In just a few steps, his figure rippled and disappeared from sight.

  "I've actually seen Elder Xiao..." The young monk muttered to himself, his eyes filled with frenzy.

  "How can there be none? The records of our ancestors' notes also have no mention of the Ling Root being unable to establish a foundation!"

  "I'm also at a loss, the Xiangshan Notes are said to be the most detailed miscellaneous talks in the cultivation world, all sorts of strange rumors and anecdotes are included, yet there's no mention of it!"

  "Go and check the second generation master's cultivation experience, he has always liked to travel around the world, maybe there will be a solution to this matter recorded in it."

  Xiao Chen held the jade token, and his figure flashed as he passed through the forbidden mountain cave. Before seeing anyone, he heard from afar the anxious voices of two old men, and a few warm feelings arose in his heart, and his pace also quickened.

  "Disciple Xiao Chen pays respects to the sect leader and reveres his master." Xiao Chen bowed respectfully, only to see that within this vast cave, under the illumination of dozens of night pearls the size of bowls, two figures were buried in a large pile of jade slips, flipping through them back and forth.

  "Hmm, you wait over there for a while, I'll finish reading these jade slips quickly." Qingyunzi said with his head still down and waving his hand.

  "Yes." Xiao Chen stood with his hands tied behind him. Half a time later, the two old men simultaneously raised their heads and looked at each other, revealing a few points of disappointment in their eyes.
