Chapter 141 Chen Songli's Experiences

In a building on Dongbai Mountain, a baby's cry signaled the birth of Chen Songyan and Xu Yunqiu's second child, a baby boy named Chen Bairui.

Inside the building, Chen Songyan on the bed carefully attended to Xu Yunqiu, "My lady, you've worked hard. Eat a few more of these vitality replenishing pills."

"I am eating them."

"Mother has already arrived, Father is still in seclusion, but he has left a message!"

"There's no need to trouble Father," Xu Yunqiu said, a little embarrassed, fearing too many people would be disturbed.

"The Family Legacy is a big matter; Father will be happy to know."

Chen Songyan continued to comfort her, and at this moment, Zhu Lingyue arrived.

As soon as Zhu Lingyue entered, she gave a large pile of Medicinal Pills, telling Xu Yunqiu to rest.

"Only by resting well can you Cultivate with peace of mind."

...

In Nanwu Kingdom, Fengming Prefecture, inside an inn, a plain-looking young woman was drinking tea.

This young woman was Chen Songli in a transformed appearance. In the past few months, she had almost traveled and lived in every prefecture in Nanwu Kingdom.

She learned about the forces within each prefecture, observed the local customs, blended into the hustle and bustle, and enjoyed life.

Along the way, virtually no one tried to scheme against her, or if they did, Chen Songli could quickly sense it and escape in advance.

Her current identity was a Qi Refining Sixth Layer Loose Cultivator, so ordinary people wouldn't provoke her. Those who did were Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators, but her true cultivation was Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, so she could sense them all.

After traveling the human world, she felt even less desire for a partner. She felt that having Chen Li, Zhu Lingyue, and her younger siblings at home was enough.

Along the way, she witnessed various hardships in the Mortal world and observed some Loose Cultivators who appeared glamorous in front of Mortals, but behind the scenes, struggled desperately for a bottle of qi overflowing pill, even stooping low and losing all dignity.

On the Grand Dao of Cultivation, who knows how many Cultivators would fall.

After more than half a year of traveling, she realized how vast her Family's wealth was. Along the way, she also saw some Family's pseudo spirit root Cultivators, in order not to let their Grand Dao be cut off, voluntarily withdraw from their Families, join the Loose Cultivators, become Robber Cultivators, and ultimately be killed by others.

Her experiences on the journey left her sighing endlessly.

Looking back at her twenty-plus years at home, in her memory, her father provided them with countless Cultivation resources, giving them whatever they wanted, encouraging them to try boldly and make mistakes. She thought no other Family could compare.

Twenty years of doing as she pleased, growing up safely, reaching Ninth Layer of Qi Refining with a pseudo spirit root, learning Formation, acquiring a body of Cultivation skills and principles of being human—how lucky she was.

She drank her tea, gazing out the window at the people coming and going, feeling that her father was the best father in the world.

This journey through the human world strengthened her resolve to follow in her father's footsteps. She would definitely be by her father's side at the peak of the Grand Dao!

"Customer, would you like more tea?" A young waiter saw that Chen Songli's teacup was empty.

"Fill it up."

"Alright!"

Her next destination was Yunan Prefecture, to check on the situation there for her mother.

...

White clouds and setting sun, the sun and moon rotated, and a year passed.

On Black Magpie Mountain, after several people returned from mining, Chen Songxiao went into seclusion, preparing to raise his Cultivation to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.

Inside the Great Sun Seed Cultivation Cave Mansion, Chen Li's Golden Core Burial Fire was complete.

After more than a year of careful Fusion, the blood fire of the Golden Core essence blood, the purified earth vein fire, and his own true fire finally successfully fused again, and the upgraded Burial Fire was successfully Cultivated.

He took out the demonic stones from his Storage Pouch, and in an instant, absorbed all the Devilish Qi from them. Chen Li muttered, "It's not enough! These demonic stones have too little Devilish Qi!"

He could only restrain his patience, planning to visit the East Sea Archipelago in the future.

The Burial Fire was complete; this was a formidable killing move!

He then took out the Cultivation Techniques, "Severed Limb Calamity Transformation" and "Blood Shadow Clone," to Cultivate.

The first was for self-preservation, the second was a close-combat method. "Blood Shadow Clone," when Cultivated to the Golden Core level, could conjure ten blood shadows to attack, making it difficult for the opponent to discern the true body. As long as one shadow remained, he could keep evading.

Cultivation knows no time; Chen Li continued his seclusion.

The thunder bamboo in the Immortal Cave would reach ten thousand years in just over three years. At this time, the purple lightning released from the bamboo was gradually turning golden; this thunder bamboo was of the golden thunder bamboo variety.

He also looked at the Crimson Sun Spirit Fruit. Nine flower buds had now appeared on the tree, preparing to bloom. After more than twenty years of accelerated growth, it was finally showing some effect.

Chen Li would continuously send the accelerated Spiritual Plants from the Immortal Cave, under the operation of his Golden Core magic power and Divine Sense, to the medicine cabinets in the Pill Refining Residence within the mountain. Every year, several hundred-year-old medicinal herbs would be accelerated and filled into the Pill Refining Residence's medicine cabinets.

...

One day, Zhu Lingyue was in the mountain, holding Chen Baizhao. She received news from Chen Songli in Yunan Prefecture. After a year abroad, she was reportedly traveling in the Taihu Mountain Range.

At this moment, a sound transmission stone delivered a message, providing a conclusion to the Loose Cultivator incident from a year ago.

"Songyan, come and pick up Baizhao; I have something to do," Zhu Lingyue informed Chen Songyan.

"Okay," Chen Songyan immediately came over.

...

Zhu Lingyue arranged to meet the other party outside a certain mountain in Duan Ya Mountain.

Chen Songli had told her all about the situation in Yunan Prefecture.

Over the past year, the Li Family in Yunan Prefecture had been having a very difficult time. Their caravans were ambushed, their shops were disturbed, some clan lands suffered unexplained damage, and even some traveling clansmen were injured.

They had wanted to catch the culprit, but found that the other party was merely causing damage, with no discernible pattern, making it difficult to track them.

Because the opponent was a Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator, they initially suspected the Qi Refining Immortal Clan within the prefecture, and later suspected the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan.

Now, the Li Family in Yunan Prefecture and other Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans were mutually suspicious and wary, each believing the other was plotting against them and too preoccupied to deal with outsiders.

These messages were all observed by Chen Songli during her stay in Yunan Prefecture, watching the commotion, and they were indeed true.

Outside Duan Ya Mountain, inside a mountain, a Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Loose Cultivator had been waiting for a long time.

Zhu Lingyue scanned the vicinity for traps, then revealed herself, displaying her Foundation Establishment cultivation.

The man was very excited to see Zhu Lingyue appear, indicating that the other party still adhered to basic promises. Her appearance meant that the foundation establishment pill was possible.

The man, seeing the disguised Zhu Lingyue, quickly bowed, "Senior, the tasks for the past year are almost complete. I presume Senior has heard."

"Mm, I've heard it all. You did well. You won't be shorted on what you're owed."

Zhu Lingyue flew out a finely packed Medicinal Pill box from her person.

"One Medium Grade foundation establishment pill, take it!"

This Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Loose Cultivator's hands trembled as he saw the box of foundation establishment pills. Without this opportunity, how many years of planning and how much bloodshed would he need to seize a single foundation establishment pill!

Previously, when this Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Loose Cultivator heard about this task, he also thought it was fake. What if the other party reneged? He would have no recourse.

But he thought, it would only be a year wasted, so why not try? What if?

That "what if" came true today. There really was a foundation establishment pill as remuneration, and it was even Medium Grade.

He took it and carefully examined it. It was indeed a Medium Grade foundation establishment pill, with a rich Medicinal Pill fragrance and clearTexture. No mistake!

This Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Loose Cultivator quickly bowed respectfully, saying, "Many thanks, Senior. If Senior has any dirty work in the future, you can always entrust it to me!"

Zhu Lingyue smiled, "Good!"

"What's your name?"

"Senior, Loose Cultivator He Jing!"

"Good, I've noted it. I hope you succeed in advancing to Foundation Establishment. We may have a chance to cooperate again in the future!"

"Many thanks for Senior's auspicious words!"
