"Disciple? What does that mean?" Huang Zhang True Person furrowed his brow, he didn't know when a small outer sect disciple could also be called a disciple by a Dan-forming cultivator.

  Qian Xiu Shi made another bow and said: "As for Master Hui's words, in our Qingmu Peak, there is a female cultivator named Mo Qingchen. Some time ago, she said that she was invited by friends to come to Duanjin Peak as a guest. She is indeed the disciple of Guang Zhang Lao."

  "Nonsense! She's clearly wearing the uniform of an outer sect disciple!" Huan Zhang True Person glanced at Xiao Yue with a smile, and then looked at Ruo Xu True Person with interest. Suddenly, he became furious.

  Strange things happen every year, but this year is especially numerous. How come those guys who can't wait to die without seeing each other on ordinary days are coming one by one recently to say that the person they caught is their apprentice?

  Isn't he just casually grabbing another disciple? Even the Taishang Laozu of Thick De Peak should have come running?

  Seeing the true person of Zhen Chapter's angry appearance, Qian Xiu Shi said calmly: "In response to Master Shifu's words, I absolutely dare not deceive you. Mo Qingchen was taken as a nominal disciple by He Guang Laozu long ago, but He Guang Laozu hoped that she would lay a good foundation and practice more, so he didn't announce it publicly. He just waited for her to become a Jīdì (Foundation Establishment) cultivator before formally accepting her into the sect. Look, this is He Guang Laozu's token."

  Seeing that small token, not only did Huan Zhang's face change color, but also Ye Xi's. Could it be that the little girl was actually a disciple of He Guang?

  The entire Yao Guang Sect knows that the most talented and unrestrained person is He Guang Zhen Ren. He is also famous for being low-key and unassuming, if not for a past event, the sixth Yuan Ying Xiu Shi of the Yao Guang Sect would be none other than him.

  Even now, ordinary Jindan cultivators are unwilling to have a falling out with him. His cultivation has been stagnant for a long time, not because of insufficient innate talent, but because he has emotional knots. If one day the emotional knots are resolved, his future prospects will be immeasurable.

  "Master Shibo, look—" said Qian Xiu Shi calmly.

  Han Zhang Zhenren only felt an unusual suffocation, and muttered: "Who doesn't know that He Guang Shidi is cold and detached from the world, extremely rarely interacting with others. Until now, he doesn't even have a single disciple. I don't believe he would suddenly take in a little girl as his apprentice. Unless... unless that girl also has exceptional talent. Hmph, if that's the case, she wouldn't be an outer sect disciple either."

  Yuexi suddenly laughed and said, "Hanchang Shidi is wrong about this. Just yesterday, I was still an outer disciple, but now I'm a inner disciple. Who can say that the pure yin body's talent is inferior? Hehe, those who recruit disciples might be blind and overlook someone."

  "Ah!" Zhang Jingyu felt a surge of energy rise up, his internal spiritual power violently stirring, almost losing control.

  "Han Zhang, you're really hot-tempered. I think you should let that girl out and let me take a look too. What kind of person can catch the eye of Guang Shi?" Yu Xi Zhen Ren added insult to injury.

  Han Zhang took a deep breath and restrained his temper, turning to say: "Ming Feng, go bring that girl out..."

  "Yes." The long-faced monk beside him replied, and turned to leave.

  But in an instant, the long-faced monk rushed back, shouting anxiously: "Master—"

  "What a flustered appearance!" scolded Zhenren Huanzhang.

  Qian Xiu's heart tightened, could it be that something had happened to that girl?

  "Master, that secret room is surrounded by a green aura, and it's hard to get in with my divine sense. It seems...that girl, she's building her foundation!" said the long-faced Taoist in one breath.

  "What!" several people on the scene asked in unison.

  It is well known that cultivators can attempt to build their foundation at the 11th layer of Qi Refining, but in reality, very few do so. The vast majority of cultivators choose to start building their foundation only after reaching the 12th layer of Qi Refining. Some with poor aptitude or those who are unable to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills may also remain stuck at the Great Circle of Qi Refining for many years before attempting to build their foundation, and this is not uncommon either.

  Who dares to build foundation at the 11th layer of Qi Refining, except for the heaven-defying genius, is an ignorant and fearless fool.

  Several people exchanged a glance and rushed to the secret room together. Indeed, outside the secret room, a blue spiritual light could be seen with the naked eye surging in from that narrow window. Looking at this strange phenomenon, it was undoubtedly the foundation-building of a cultivator.

  "Xiaoxia, Mo Qingchen must have gone mad. If she fails to build her foundation, with her current cultivation level, she won't be able to withstand the backlash of that power." Chen Jiao Xian said, biting her lip.

  This is also the reason why most masters dare not choose to build their foundation at the 11th layer of Qi Refining. If they fail at this time, their body will find it difficult to withstand the absorbed spiritual energy. If the Dantian bursts open, then it's all over. They can only barely cope with it after reaching the 12th layer of Qi Refining. If they are not successful once, there is still a chance.

  Xiaoxia's face turned pale, but she insisted: "It won't happen, that girl never does anything without being sure."

  Let's not talk about what others outside the secret room think, but how did Mo Qingchen suddenly make such a shocking move?

  She was in a secret room, the fire crow that had been cultivating in the spiritual beast bag suddenly woke up. The crow, extremely bored, flew to the window and found that although the secret room blocked divine sense, the window could allow physical objects to enter and exit. Without hesitation, it abandoned Mo Qingchen and flew out.

  The black crow had just flown out for a short while when it heard the first half of Chen Jiao Xian and Xiao Xia's conversation, it immediately flew back in a flurry, adding oil to the fire as it spoke.

  Mo Qingchen was stunned, she had originally thought that Huan Zhang would restrict her freedom for a few days or make her suffer a bit, but she didn't expect the great elixir master to be so absurd.

  The thought of giving herself to a man who was almost completely strange to her as his wife, and allowing him to do with her as he pleased, was something that she could not accept, whether it was the her who had received a liberal education in love in another world, or the her who had been slightly influenced by the ways of this world.

  Mo Qingchen is usually cautious in his daily life, but when something really happens, he can't avoid it. In fact, he has a bandit-like personality.

  She thought and thought, if she didn't want to wait for death, the only way was to build a foundation!

  She is twenty-two years old, and if she succeeds in building her foundation, she doesn't believe that Zhan Chengzhen would still dare to treat her as a plaything to be given away at will.

  If it doesn't work out...

  Mo Qingchen bit her lip hard, if it didn't work out, then she wouldn't have to face what came after. Whether it succeeded or not, it was better than the real thing happening.

  Mo Qingchen's temper flared up, but it wasn't entirely impulsive. As early as when she finished her three-year cultivation and became a Qi Refining 11th layer cultivator, taking advantage of the calm after that year's storm, she quietly went to the Hall of Contributions and retrieved the three Foundation Establishment Pills she had contributed, adding to the ones she had refined herself, totaling over a dozen. Once she successfully established her foundation, she would be able to explain where the Foundation Establishment Pills came from.

  In addition, for some unknown reason, Mo Qingchen found that his meridians were becoming more and more robust and wide. Being robust was nothing to be surprised about, perhaps it was due to the improvement of his cultivation. However, according to reason, without a breakthrough in realm, the meridians would not become wider. Only when the meridians were filled with spiritual energy and could no longer hold any more, that would be the completion of the Great Circle of Refining Qi, and then he could start building his foundation.

  Later on, Mo Qingchen could only vaguely guess that perhaps the special parts of her body were related to the beautiful wine she often drank from the immortal gourd?

  Mo Qingdun, with a determined mind, sat down cross-legged, relaxed his whole body, lowered his eyelids, and waited for his breathing to slow down and his thoughts to settle before flipping his hand and throwing a Jade Germ Pill into his mouth, followed by swallowing another Foundation Establishment Pill.

  The foundation was established, and the spirit energy in the body suddenly surged up like a raging fire, and then flowed into the meridians like an unbridled wild horse.

  Mo Qingchen gritted his teeth and followed the method of building a foundation mentioned earlier, relaxing every part of his body. He didn't resist this massive spiritual energy, but instead drew out a thread of spiritual power to slowly guide it, gradually following the flow of this spiritual energy into the meridian that was about to be impacted.

  When that spiritual energy struck her meridians, Mo Qingchu felt a severe pain coming on, the kind of pain that seemed to pierce directly into one's primordial spirit, leaving her drenched in cold sweat but unable to utter a sound.

  At this time, Mo Qingchen threw out all distractions and repeatedly impacted his meridians while adjusting his breathing.

  Finally, she could clearly hear the sound of her body's meridians shattering inch by inch. The pain was already indescribable. Immediately afterwards, under the effect of the elixir, those shattered meridians reconnected one after another. Countless connection points were like being bitten and stung by insects at the tip of her heart, making her numb and chilled to the bone.

  The connected meridians were shattered again, reconnected, and then shattered once more. This repeated process of shattering and reconnecting happened so many times that Mo Qingdun gradually felt that everything had ceased to exist, leaving only the eternal, lingering pain accompanied by the sound of his meridians shattering.

  Mo Qingchen's dantian was like a water jug filled to the brim, on the verge of overflowing but with nowhere to go, it could only be compressed downward, and in the process of compression, countless spiritual energies surged in.

  It wasn't long before Mo Qingchu suddenly felt the pain subside, and without hesitation, she swallowed another Foundation Establishment Pill!

  Generally speaking, the failure of building foundation in Qigong can be divided into two situations. One is that one cannot bear the suffering of repeated rupture of meridians, and if the foundation is not established, it will suffer a great deal of backlash, making it even more difficult to build the foundation again later on.

  Another is that the meridians have withstood the impact of the spiritual energy, but until the medicinal power of the foundation-building pill has dissipated, the dantian has not had time to convert the concentrated spiritual energy into spiritual liquid, lacking the driving force of the foundation-building pill, it will be powerless to proceed.

  However, in this case, the monk's meridians will be widened, and a large amount of impurities in the body will also be eliminated. When building the foundation again next time, the possibility of success will be much greater.

  The speed and efficiency of the dantian transforming spiritual energy are naturally related to a cultivator's innate talent. Mo Qingchen had long been mentally prepared for this, so when he saw that the medicinal effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill was about to dissipate, he immediately swallowed another one without hesitation.

  The gradually calming imperial court was suddenly stirred up again, but Mo Qingchen remained unmoving, like a small boat with a light sail, not resisting, but following the waves.

  The third pill was swallowed, and the waves inside his body grew even stronger.

  The fourth one.

  The fifth one.

  At this moment, Mo Qingchen's body has stirred up a huge wave, but it seems to be always short of that little bit, making her fully inflated dantian unable to undergo qualitative changes.

  Mo Qingchu steeled himself and swallowed two Foundation Establishment Pills at once.

  This time, a tornado burst forth from her dantian, roaring and rampaging wildly, causing her dantian to convulse violently without cease.

  Suddenly, Mo Qingchen heard a faint "click" sound, the voice was extremely light, if she wasn't in this mysterious state, she wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.

  It's bad, there is a crack in the cinnabar field!

  Mo Qingchen, who had been calm despite enduring immense pain, finally changed color.
