20. Building Foundation and Refining Qi

  A young man with the surname Ye arrived in Feiyun Town under the cover of night and knocked on the door of the tea stall owner.

  Then, he went to the only inn in the town and dragged the owner out of bed.

  "Sir, the person you mentioned did indeed stay in our small shop for almost half a month, but he left two days ago. Its true that a young girl came to see him, she had been here several days before, but on that day it just so happened that the guest was leaving, and they went out together, I dont know where they went."

  "Whats this persons background, do you know?"

  "The little man didnt know, he just knew that the guest seemed to be traveling everywhere and was somewhat mysterious."

  The young man thought for a moment and then asked: "Do you know how he left, on horseback or by carriage?"

  "That... the guest had hired a carriage to town, oh, I remember now, the coachman who drove him whispered mysteriously that this guest was not an ordinary person, but why, I dont know."

  The young man had already made up his mind that this was no ordinary kidnapper, but a cultivator. He had taken the little girl away, and who knew what he wanted to do with her.

  "The young master asked where the guest was going, and I have a guess. We only have one road to Liancheng here, no matter where this guest wants to go, 80% will first go to Liancheng before deciding which direction to take."

  The young man nodded, tossed a piece of gold, turned around and jumped out the window, flying up into the air. The innkeeper was so shocked that he dropped his gold. This is no ordinary person!

  At this time, the young man had thought of the horse carriage he met on the road. When his divine sense swept over it, he found that there were two low-ranking cultivators on the horse carriage. He thought they were just ordinary scattered cultivators wandering in the secular world. His divine sense scanned them and didnt pay attention to them at all. Now that he thinks about it, its very likely that they are the people he is looking for. However, he has some doubts in his heart. There was a cultivator on the horse carriage with two ordinary people. The ordinary person was naturally the coachman. Could it be that the little girl had also become a cultivator?

  With this doubt in mind, he rode his flying sword and went along that road to search for it.

  The carriage was pitch black inside, but outside there was a faint light. Mo Tian Ge curiously leaned against the window and looked at the stone that the coachman had placed in the lantern.

  This is a moonstone, which is not considered particularly precious in the cultivation world. Many people use it as decoration for their caves, but in the mortal world, its a treasure thats hard to come by even with a thousand pieces of gold.

  She couldnt help but secretly take out the Luliu pearl, only to find that it was useless against this moonstone. It seemed that its ability to emit light wasnt due to spiritual energy after all.

  The crystal bead felt cool to the touch, and under the moonlight, it emitted a faint white glow, as if absorbing spiritual energy. Unfortunately, even if it were fully absorbed, she couldnt utilize it; her meridians were blocked, and spiritual energy couldnt enter.

  She helplessly sighed and raised her head to gaze at the perfectly round moon in the sky, but was startled in the next moment.

  That moon... A person flew by on the moon!

  Before he could think of a reason, the figure suddenly rushed down, and the driver who was driving the horse in front pulled the reins, let out a sigh, the carriage shook and stopped.

  Li Yushan, who was fast asleep, was suddenly woken up and angrily shouted: "Whats going on?"

  Outside came the terrified voice of the carriage driver: "Master Xian, there...theres someone..."

  "Who is it?" Li Yushan pushed open the car door and poked his head out, but he was also startled.

  Only a young man was standing in front of the horse carriage, with an aura that was absolutely that of a high-ranking cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage!

  He hastily got off the car and clasped his fists: "Junior Li Yushan, has seen senior."

  The young man nodded and said, "Theres still one more person in the car, why isnt he getting out?"

  Li Yushan hastily turned around, pulled down Mo Tian Ge from the carriage and smiled apologetically: "This is my younger sister, shes just a child who doesnt understand things, please forgive her, senior."

  "Your sister?" The young man slightly furrowed his brow, his gaze falling onto his hand. "If shes your sister, how can you treat her like that? Arent you afraid of scratching her?"

  Li Yushan was startled and saw Mo Tian Ge being grasped by his arm, with a pained expression on her face. He hastily let go: "This junior is an uncouth person, in the heat of the moment I..."

  "Really?" The young mans gaze darted back and forth between the two of them.

  Li Yushan nodded repeatedly, his face filled with reverence. He had seen this senior before during the foundation-building period, but the other party had never paid attention to him, so he had only caught a glimpse of him from afar a few times. Looking at the young mans age, he was already in the foundation-building period, and Li Yushan felt both admiration and envy. Seeing the youths robes, which seemed to be those of the Great Gate Sect, his admiration grew even more. Unfortunately, his own spiritual roots were inferior, making it difficult for him to enter the sect, let alone reach the foundation-building stage. He bowed respectfully: "I dont know if senior has any instructions? If there is anything this junior can do to help, I will not refuse."

  The young man didnt respond, but instead gazed at them with piercing eyes, finally fixing his gaze on Mo Tian Ge and asked in a gentle tone: "Little girl, whats your surname and name? Can you tell me?"

  She looked at Mo Tian Ge, then at Li Yu Shan. She wanted to escape from Li Yu Shans clutches, but was also afraid that this person might not be a good person either. Although this big brother seemed kind and gentle, Li Yu Shan had been like that initially too - you cant judge a person by their appearance.

  Li Yushan hastily said: "Senior, this is indeed my younger sister..."

  Before he could finish speaking, the young man let out a grunt and with a flick of his wrist, Li Yushan was sent crashing to the ground.

  He was shocked, and before he could say anything, the young man sneered, "Dont think I dont know that this child is your abductee." After speaking, he didnt care about him and only asked Mo Tian Ge, "Little girl, are you surnamed Mo, living in Liancheng Mos village?"

  Mo Tian Ge was shocked upon hearing this, how did he know?

  The young man said: "Dont be afraid, I was entrusted by your father to come and pick you up. If theres anything, just tell me directly."

  As soon as this was said, Mo Tian Ge and Li Yu Shan were both shocked at the same time, but one was delighted while the other was frightened.

  Li Yushan thought that her father had long lost contact, and did not expect someone to come back at this time, and it was a high-ranking cultivator! He couldnt help but regret, if he waited a few more days, maybe he could get some benefits.

  Upon hearing the news about her father, Mo Tian Ge couldnt bear it anymore and hastily asked: "My father? Where is my father? Are you here to take me to find my father?"

  The young man smiled and said: "If you are a little girl from Mojia Village, then its correct."

  Mo Tian Ge nodded repeatedly: "I am."

  Finally found someone, and nothing happened, the young man also let out a sigh of relief, walked forward to take a closer look at her, and asked: "But was this person kidnapped by you? Did he abuse you?"

  Moy Tian Ge nodded: "It was him. He pretended to exchange insights with me, sealed my meridians and spiritual energy, and even said I should be a furnace..."

  As soon as the words came out, the young mans face changed, and he glared at Li Yushan who was thrown to the ground: "What a scum of the immortal world! Such a small child, you also want to make decisions!"

  Li Yushan saw that he had offended a superior and, as his crime of kidnapping was indeed indefensible, hastily called out: "Senior, please wait, listen to me."

  The young man sneered coldly: "Alright, you go ahead and say it. What other unspeakable secrets are there?"

  "Senior, its indeed my fault for having ulterior motives. But this little girl is truly a rare gem in the world. Senior, do you know that she has a pure yin constitution? If I were to dual cultivate with her... Ah..." A strong gust of wind blew, and Li Yushans head tilted to one side as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

  The young man looked at him coldly: "You actually still want to entice me with this, your heart is despicable, whats the point of keeping you!"

  Li Yushan was shocked and pale, knowing that the young man in front of him had murderous intentions. He immediately pulled out a talisman from his pocket, lit it up, and took off in a frantic sprint at an extremely fast speed.

  The young mans body didnt move, but the long sword behind his back suddenly flew out of its scabbard and shot out, disappearing in an instant. Then Li Yushan let out a cry and fell to the ground with a thud. The sword flew back again and returned to its scabbard.

  The young man let out a cold snort in the direction of the corpse.

  Meng Tian Ge was frightened, she had thought that if she had the power, she would have cut Li Yu Shan into a thousand pieces, but suddenly seeing such a bloody scene, it was more shocking than satisfying.

  The difference between foundation building and energy refining was so great, she hated Li Yushan to the bone, wanting to escape his clutches but couldnt, while in front of this senior foundation builder, Li Yushan was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed with a wave of his hand.
