67: How is it possible that there are still cultivators in Yue State who can form elixirs?

As soon as these words were spoken, joy first appeared on the faces of Daoist Wu and Chu Wu.

After confirming, Yuan Yi finally let out a big sigh of relief, and she praised Yuan Li without hesitation.

“Well done, Yuan Li, you should be credited with the greatest achievement in this battle!”

“Were you discovered by the Cultivators of Yue Country, especially that Xu Qi'an, regarding your origin?”

Yuan Li shook her head and then said, “Reporting to Huang jie, no. I followed your initial idea and used the fighting methods of the Cultivators from the Extreme West in all the fights and Spells!”

“Even more ridiculous is that Seven-An True Person, the Jie Dan Cultivator, seeing the arrival of our three Jie Dan Cultivators, immediately retreated and didn't care at all about the lives of those Dan Formation Seeds and Foundation Establishment Seeds!”

“Those five Foundation Establishment Cultivators who died were unfortunately killed due to the desperate fighting and sneak attacks by some Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Yue Country!”

“However, in order not to reveal our identities, we still fought quickly, and as soon as the mission was completed, we retreated at the fastest speed!”

The other two Core Formation Stage Cultivators also nodded in agreement, confirming Yuan Li's statement.

Upon receiving such a triumphant answer, Yuan Yi and the other two were extremely happy.

“Good, good, good!”

“The five Foundation Establishment Cultivators who died, our Three Great Countries will definitely give them a grand burial, and their relatives, we will certainly ensure they are well-fed and clothed!”

“Also, for all the Cultivators present, I, Yuan Yi, promise that each person will receive one hundred middle-grade spirit stones as a reward!”

Everyone present instantly burst into cheers.

Yuan Yi was very satisfied with this result.

Now she only needed to wait for ten years until the deadline of the Nascent Soul Decree ended, and she could completely destroy Yue Country and achieve the supreme glory of her Yuan Country!

Yuan Yi clasped her hands together and said with a smile, “During this period, no matter how the Cultivators of Yue Country question us, we must not respond. Do you understand?”

All the Cultivators nodded one after another.

“Then let's return to our country!”

Soon, this large group of black-clothed Cultivators flew off in different directions.

For a time, the border of Yue Country became calm again.

It seemed as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Yi returned to her sleeping quarters and then had a good sleep.

That night, she slept exceptionally soundly.

In her dream, she finally legitimately destroyed Yue Country, broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, and led Yuan Country towards prosperity.

The next day, Yuan Yi got up early. She wanted to share this news with her imperial brother, Yuan Feng.

She came to Yuan Feng's cave mansion and then told Yuan Feng what had happened, word for word.

Yuan Feng was stunned for a moment, then gave his imperial sister a thumbs up.

He expressed strong affirmation of his imperial sister's wise decision and the results achieved this time.

Yuan Yi was very happy to see her imperial brother's reaction. Then she visited the other Core Formation Stage Cultivators.

The other Core Formation Stage Cultivators of Yuan Country also congratulated her one after another.

Yuan Yi originally wanted to announce it to the world, but unfortunately, because this matter could not be publicized yet, she held back.

Returning to her own cave mansion, Yuan Yi, however, laughed and scolded herself, “Yuan Yi, ah Yuan Yi, you are too complacent now. You should Cultivate properly and wait for the arrival of the ten-year deadline!”

Yuan Yi immediately entered cultivation, but whenever she thought about being able to conquer Yue Country after ten years, the corners of her mouth would unconsciously curl up slightly.

......

On the other side, Yue Country began to put on a show.

Xu Qi'an arranged for some Foundation Establishment Cultivators to spread the matter and directed the blame towards the Three Great Countries, threatening to sue the Three Great Countries at the Heavenly Dao Sect.

However, the Three Great Countries demanded that Yue Country provide evidence, and Yue Country immediately became discouraged.

Because only the high-level officials of Yue Country knew the truth of this matter, the Cultivators below were truly puzzled and showed signs of panic.

However, these situations, in the eyes of the Three Great Countries, confirmed the fact that Yue Country's seed plan had been destroyed.

Thus, Yue Country began a long period of decline lasting nine years.

During this time, the Cultivators of Yue Country were filled with pessimism and were constantly ridiculed and attacked by the Cultivators of the Three Great Countries.

Talk of the country's destruction grew more and more frequent.

Floating Cloud Sect.

This was the ninth year since the Nascent Soul Decree was issued, with only one year remaining until its expiration.

Inside the cave mansion, Xu Qi'an picked up a branch of Spirit Medicine, having nothing else to do.

Outside the door, Li Yebai came to report, his voice carrying a trace of barely concealed joy.

“Reporting to Sect Leader, the Foundation Establishment Seed plan has achieved a great victory, and the last batch of Foundation Establishment Seeds have also finished their Foundation Establishment.”

“There were originally a total of three hundred and thirty-nine Foundation Establishment Seeds, divided into three batches for Foundation Establishment. A total of two hundred and twelve people successfully completed Foundation Establishment!”

“This is twenty percent more than our estimated success rate for Foundation Establishment!”

Upon hearing the report, Xu Qi'an's lips curled up slightly.

He smiled inwardly and said, “That's natural. Don't you see what kind of pills I used!”

Most Alchemists' pills contain many Impurities, but his pills were different.

Treasure Gathering certification, guaranteed to produce high-quality goods.

“It seems now only those few Dan Formation Seeds are left!”

“Calculating the time, it's almost there. I'm afraid it won't be long before Dan Formation anomalies appear!”

Xu Qi'an also felt a sense of anticipation.

In these nine years, Xu Qi'an's various aspects had also developed greatly.

Firstly, his cultivation. Xu Qi'an's cultivation had reached the seventh level of Core Formation Stage, which meant that Xu Qi'an was already a Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator!

His cultivation advancement mainly relied on the combination of superior-grade spirit stones and spirit gathering arrays, as well as his Earth-grade wood attribute spirit root!

The only pity was that his Earth-grade spirit root still failed to gather treasures and become a Heaven-grade spirit root. Xu Qi'an didn't know which step went wrong in this regard.

In addition, there was his Divine Soul. In nine years, Xu Qi'an successfully broke through the shackles of the fourth layer of the Soul Character Incantation and cultivated to the fifth layer!

As soon as he entered the fifth layer, Xu Qi'an discovered that his Divine Soul had undergone a qualitative change.

Simply by looking at the strength of his Divine Soul and Divine Sense, Xu Qi'an felt that he could already be comparable to a Cultivator of the Nascent Soul Initial Stage!

This made Xu Qi'an very happy, and he also found that on the path of Divine Soul, his cultivation path seemed to be smoother.

Perhaps this is the case: if an Immortal closes one door for you, he will open a window for you!

Although Xu Qi'an has now opened the door as well!

There was no progress in other aspects of cultivation, after all, cultivation already took too much time.

Then, regarding third-tier items, Xu Qi'an obtained many.

Xu Qi'an had already gathered a hundred and eighty bottles of the Core Formation Initial Stage pills obtained from Yunfeng, preparing to leave them for the Core Formation Stage Cultivators of Yue Country.

There were also quite a lot of Magic Treasures, especially superior-grade Magic Treasures, of which there were already dozens, and there were also quite a lot of other grades.

As for Talismans, there was even less to talk about. Xu Qi'an's main focus was on gathering treasures in this area, after all, Talismans were very useful in times of crisis.

Through the Talismans given by Yuan Feng, Xu Qi'an had already gathered a large pile, including over a hundred third-tier super-grade Talismans.

And for these, Xu Qi'an had already made plans. Except for a portion kept for himself, they would all be given to his own Core Formation Stage Cultivators to enhance their strength.

And to deal with the upcoming great battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield!

There was also one more thing, Xu Qi'an's spirit flood dragon, Xiao An, also began to go into seclusion to break through to the Core Formation Stage five years ago.

This Profound Water Spirit Flood Dragon was usually fed a lot of thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine by Xu Qi'an. For it to only form its core at this time, Xu Qi'an even suspected that this fellow had been lazy in the past few years.

However, it was also good news that the spirit flood dragon had begun to form its core.

These days, Xu Qi'an cultivated while also guiding the Disciples of Floating Cloud Sect in their cultivation.

And Xu Qi'an's reputation and image in the eyes of the Disciples of Floating Cloud Sect and all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Yue Country became extremely grand, even deified.

Especially those who were originally Foundation Establishment Seeds and had just completed Foundation Establishment, their admiration for Xu Qi'an reached its peak.

However, Xu Qi'an didn't care much about these things, after all, at the beginning, he was also doing it to save himself.

On this day, Xu Qi'an came to Floating Cloud Sect as usual to guide the Disciples in cultivation, when a monstrous spiritual power beam instantly shot up into the sky.

A spiritual power vortex immediately appeared above the entire Floating Cloud Sect!

Seeing this scene, all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the square looked up together, their faces filled with joy and shock.

Then came the Cultivators of the entire Yue Country, and even Wu Country, Chu Country, and Yuan Country.

Xu Qi'an saw this scene and smiled. He knew who was forming their core behind this beam of light.

“Lingmiao, you have finally reached the final stage.”

Wu Country.

Daoist Wu, who was leisurely sipping tea, suddenly noticed a change in spiritual power and was instantly shocked.

He immediately flew into the sky and saw that someone in the direction of Yue Country was actually forming their core!!

He almost dropped his jaw in surprise.

In Chu Country, Chu Wu, who was practicing his fists, saw the spiritual power beam from Yue Country, his eyes seemed to pop out, and his face was full of surprise.

In Yuan Country, Yuan Yi, who was bored and eating spirit food, noticed the anomaly in Yue Country. She directly overturned the entire table, her face filled with disbelief.

Her originally calm and composed image was instantly shattered.

She suddenly flew into the air, staring intently in the direction of Yue Country, her lips moving, and she only uttered a sentence that she completely refused to believe.

“Someone in Yue Country has formed their core?!”

“How is this possible?!!”

“How is it possible!!!”
