72, Cultivating Qi is Complete

  Dechuizidan, Qin Xifruit as he said went into seclusion and broke through.

  Yunwu Mountain North Peak. There are some places with particularly abundant spiritual energy, most of which are the residences of high-ranking cultivators, but a few have been opened up as public residences.

  The so-called public Dongfu is a place that everyone can use, but they have to pay a considerable amount of rent to the sect. However, if it's for building foundations, it's completely free and has priority rights. These public Dongfu have arrays both inside and outside, and foundation-building cultivators take turns guarding them. Generally speaking, people in closed-door meditation will not be disturbed unless they have exceeded the limited time limit of one year or more. It is indeed the best place for closed-door meditation to impact the foundation.

  Close the door and build the foundation, short for three to five months, long for a year. The first two months are used to adjust the body, then take the foundation-building pill, and spend several months absorbing and adapting. If the foundation is built, it will also take time to solidify the cultivation. Qin Xi went this way, whether failed or succeeded, all need one and a half years to come out of the closure.

  The song of the wild sky didn't think much, just envied and bored. What she envied was that before Qin Xi left, her expression was calm and peaceful, without any worries, as if she had great confidence, and must have had some secret method or realization, while she herself still needed to spend a year or two to rush to the completion of the Lianqi circle and grasp the foundation. What was boring was that with Qin Xi gone, she basically had no one to talk to.

  Liu Yidao's injuries were quite severe, and he would have to stay in Beifeng for at least three to five months; Murong Yan also went to the public Dongfu to retreat and cultivate her Qi under the support of her family. There was another familiar person, Zhou Shixiong, but he had also gone to the public Dongfu to retreat and cultivate his foundation with the Zhugidan, if not for being extremely unlucky in entering the 12th layer of Qi refinement, he would have become Zhou Shishu by now.

  As for Jiang Shanghang, who was the only one left in the house, he wasn't even considered a familiar face. Since the sect was annexed, this guy not only ignored people but also became more gloomy - it's strange to say that when Jiang Shanghang first entered the sect, he was already at the 10th level of Qi Refining, now that Qin Xi has gone into seclusion to break through, how come he hasn't made any moves? Of course, she wouldn't be curious enough to ask Jiang Shanghang, and they didn't have a good relationship anyway.

  Actually, after this trial practice returned, she had enough money to go to the public Dongfu to retreat if she wanted. Those dry Kun bags and spiritual stones added up to over a thousand yuan, and the demon beasts hunted back were sold for thousands of yuan. Adding some unimportant materials and spiritual instruments that were also sold for hundreds of yuan, they totaled more than three thousand yuan. In addition to Dan Yao, some inconvenient-to-sell spiritual instruments, and possibly useful materials, she was now richer than ever before, completely comparable to ordinary foundation-building cultivators. However, she felt it was better to keep a low profile, even the corpse of Tie Chi's teeth was not taken out, let alone renting such a luxurious Dongfu.

  So, the days returned to calmness. Every day practicing, occasionally listening to lectures, even the chores of the Executive Hall were not accepted, fortunately after this matter, the sect exempted these disciples above the seventh layer of refining qi from miscellaneous tasks, and not accepting them was nothing.

  She was scolded by Second Uncle, and then she lost her temper again. However, her cultivation became more focused than ever before, and she also took a large amount of elixirs. Unexpectedly, it only took her three months to reach the perfect Qi Refining Realm. She herself was quite surprised, not expecting that she would have such a fast cultivation speed.

  Liu Yidao was still at Beifeng and heard that a certain Shibo appreciated him and intended to take him as his disciple.

  Upon hearing the news, Mo Tian Ge suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he last saw Liu Yi Dao. After some careful thought, he felt that they had drifted apart somewhat. Feeling a bit guilty about this, he decided to make time to visit Liu Yi Dao. However, this plan ultimately didn't come to fruition because when he went to Bei Feng, he was stopped and could only ask a senior fellow disciple to pass on a message and send over some unimportant items.

  Jiang Shanghang didn't go to impact the foundation because of a reason, which he gradually heard about. It turned out that the Jiang family had a kind of auxiliary foundation-building pill, which could increase the chances of building the foundation, but it was not easy to refine, and only a small amount was produced each time. Originally, with Jiang Shanghang's diligence and cultivation, he should have been able to get one, but unfortunately, he was already looked down upon in the Jiang family, and the current head of the family, Jiang Chengxian, who was also participating in this foundation-building, gave Jiang Shanghang's share to Jiang Chengxian. This result left Jiang Shanghang with no choice but to grit his teeth and swallow it, as the foundation-building pill was not easy to obtain, so he planned to endure until the next time the pill was produced before building the foundation again.

  What Jiang Shanghang thought was just a guess, but after knowing him for more than three years, it's indeed very possible that he would think this way, given his usual personality.

  Upon hearing the news, Mo Tian Ge felt a pang of envy. There was actually a pill that could increase the chances of building one's foundation! However, since such a pill existed, it had never been mentioned within their sect. Either the recipe was too complicated or the materials were too difficult to obtain, making it impossible to provide for ordinary disciples. Even Jiang Shang Han couldn't get his hands on something from the Jiang family, let alone her. So, she could only feel envious and nothing more.

  When his Qi was full and he could no longer make any further progress in his cultivation, Mo Tian Ge came down from the mountain.

  Although Second Uncle had severely scolded her last time, ordering her not to see him until she figured things out, Mo Tian Ge still came to visit every half month. However, Second Uncle would only exchange a few words with her before sending her back up the mountain. But this time was different; she had something very important to say.

  "Second Uncle!"

  Ye Jiang, still recovering from his injuries in the small hut, looked even older. Upon hearing her voice, he didn't even open his eyes: "What are you doing here? Go back to your cultivation!"

  Mo Tian Ge didn't give up and said: "Second Uncle, I have already completed my Qi refinement."

  Ye Jiang finally opened his eyes, looked her up and down, and smiled slightly: "Three months...this is more like it."

  Seeing Second Uncle finally not putting on a straight face, Mo Tian Ge let out a sigh of relief and still sat in front of him: "Second Uncle, are you okay?"

  "He won't die for the time being." Seeing her worried expression, Ye Jiang finally softened and said in a gentle voice, "Second Uncle's injuries have been recovering well recently, and he should be able to hold on until next year."

  The sky is low, and the song is silent. This is indeed good news already, Second Uncle said two years ago that his lifespan would be between two to three years, now at least it can be confirmed that he has more time left.

  "Alright, now that you've completed your Qi refinement, shouldn't you be striving for foundation building? Are you fully prepared to lay the foundations?"

  Moy Tian Ge shook his head. He was very puzzled: "Second Uncle, I can feel it, my cultivation is no longer a problem, but when I go into seclusion to impact the foundation, there's still something lacking."

  "What's lacking..." Ye Jiangsun said, "Second Uncle has already explained the key to building a foundation to you and had you familiarize yourself with the process of building a foundation. Logically speaking, you should be well-prepared... is there still some doubt in your heart?"

  After hesitating for a moment, Mo Tian Ge nodded: "Thinking of building the foundation, I always feel anxious and have no grasp on it, probably."

  "It seems that it's your own mental state that isn't prepared. This is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, if you force yourself into seclusion and shock the foundation, an unstable mentality will lead to an unstable state, and an unstable state will affect the success of building the foundation."

  "Yes, I've been unable to make up my mind to go into seclusion immediately, Second Uncle, what should I do?"

  Ye Jiang said, "It's no wonder you have such a feeling. Generally, people cultivate to the completion of Qi refinement and wait for a long time before getting the foundation-building pill, so they are well-prepared. But because of your Second Uncle's reason, you urgently cultivated to the completion of Qi refinement and immediately wanted to impact the foundation, which is indeed too hasty."

  "What should we do?"

  Ye Jiang closed his eyes, as if in thought.

  Mó Tiān Gē looked at him with some anxiety. She knew that although her second uncle's condition was better than expected, his lifespan was only about a year, and she wanted to let her second uncle see her build her foundation before he passed away, so she couldn't afford to delay this year.

  Ye Jiang finally opened her eyes, seemingly having made a decision. After gazing at her for a long time, he said softly: "Tian Ge, why don't you leave the mountain and travel for a while?"

  "What?" Meng Tian Ge was stunned for a moment, "Travel? Wouldn't that mean leaving Yunwu Mountain, leaving Second Uncle?

  Ye Jiang nodded: "That's right. Whenever a cultivator encounters a bottleneck, or if their mind is restless, traveling is the best solution."

  "But... " Mo Tian Ge hastily said, "Isn't that leaving this place? Second Uncle, how can I leave you alone here?"

  Ye Jiang smiled slightly: "Are you worried that Second Uncle will suddenly die here?"

  Meng Tian Ge was silent and speechless. She was indeed afraid, afraid that Second Uncle would pass away before she could lay the foundation, but even more afraid that when she was not around, Second Uncle would walk his final journey alone.

  Ye Jiang sighed: "Don't worry, as the lifespan approaches, the cultivator's sense of heaven's fate will also become stronger. Making this decision, Second Uncle felt that it was still possible to wait for your return. Go then, if you stay, I'm afraid there will be more time spent in vain."

  "Second Uncle..."

  "Listen."

  Mo Tian Ge struggled for a long time, but still shook his head decisively: "No way! What if something unexpected happens? I'm not leaving!"

  "What if you have to go?"

  "I'm absolutely not going!"

  Ye Jiang closed his eyes, seemingly not wanting to argue with her anymore. He knew how stubborn this child was; when he was severely injured while hunting a demon beast and left on the road by his companions due to the severity of his injuries, it was this child who risked life and death to find him in the forest, and ultimately, uncle and nephew escaped together, their lives hanging by a thread.

  "Xiao Tian, take Second Uncle's life-saving amulet with you on your journey."

  Meng Tian Ge was shocked, but he only called out in a daze: "Second Uncle..."

  Ye Jiang closed his eyes and sighed: "If something unexpected happens to Second Uncle, you'll know when you see the Yuanshen token. Can you rest assured now?"

  "I..."

  Ye Jiang didn't say anything else to her, took out a jade pendant from his bosom, pinched a finger seal with his right hand, and muttered to himself. After a moment, a drop of fresh blood appeared on his brow. His incantation quickened, and then he drew a line with his fingertip, the blood drop instantly following the gesture, entering the jade pendant, which suddenly changed from pure white to deep red.

  After finishing this matter, Ye Jiang coughed violently several times again.

  "Second Uncle!" Mo Tian Ge hastily supported him and patted his back.

  After a while, Ye Jiangshun calmed down and handed over the jade pendant: "If something happens to me, the vital energy in this will dissipate. You must come back immediately if you see its color change."

  Mo Tian Ge silently accepted it. He handed her his Ben Ming Yu Pai, looks like Second Uncle has also made up his mind.

  Ye Jiang waved his hand, signaling her to retreat and said: "Alright, you go back to the Men's Division and inform them. Pack your things and leave for a trip. Remember, let go of your worries and don't think about cultivation matters. Come back in half a year."

  Mo Tian Ge fell silent for a moment, then a determined look appeared on his face. He nodded: "I understand, Second Uncle."
