66: Chapter 66 Three Foundation Buildings in One Day

A few days of passion, the scenery of spring was boundless.

Li Yifei was very satisfied with the performance of his three new Dao Companions: Gu Manqing, Feng Qianyu, and Shen Shurou.

Relying on the Primordial Yin Power of his several Dao Companions, Li Yifei finally broke through to the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage!

And when they discovered that the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon could not only increase their cultivation but also nourish their Meridians and purify their Spiritual Qi, their heartfelt initiative and passion allowed Li Yifei to enjoy pure tenderness.

He did not insist that Gu Manqing wait until after her Foundation Establishment to perform Dual Cultivation.

Although tasting the first primordial yin of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator would be of great benefit to his Qi Refining cultivation, that wasn't how he calculated the gains.

First, by performing Dual Cultivation with a Cultivator at Qi Refining Perfection, the double gains obtained were not necessarily lower than those from the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Second, and most importantly, performing Dual Cultivation before Foundation Establishment.

This could maximize the purification of the Spiritual Qi within Gu Manqing's body, washing away the pill toxins and Impurities left by her previous two failures, allowing her to charge at the Bottleneck in her most perfect state.

This would allow her dao base to be of a higher grade and her future path to go even further.

Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs was not the way; sustainable development was the true path.

As it turned out, his decision was absolutely correct.

Under the nourishment of Yifei Peak's resources and several days of Dual Cultivation to strengthen her Foundation, Gu Manqing quickly adjusted her state to the Peak.

She entered the Quiet Room, took a perfect foundation establishment pill, and began her third—and final—attempt at Foundation Establishment in this life.

The process was smooth and natural, proceeding without any unexpected turns.

When Gu Manqing successfully broke through and stepped out of the Quiet Room, she felt the stable and powerful Second-Grade Dao Foundation within her, and she was moved to tears.

Given her situation of two failures and a damaged Foundation, being able to succeed in Foundation Establishment was already a stroke of immense luck, but now she had actually forged a Second-Grade Dao Foundation—this was simply Heaven-Defying!

This meant that her future immortal path had been forcibly raised by an entire level!

To celebrate her new life and to thank her husband for his grace of reconstruction, Gu Manqing, along with Shen Shurou and Feng Qianyu who had also just joined the Yifei Peak family, pestered Li Yifei for several more days of celebration.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day Yifei Peak held the Foundation Establishment Ceremony for the three newly advanced Foundation Establishment Cultivators: Qin Mengyao, Murong Xue, and Gu Manqing.

On this day, the gates of Yifei Peak were wide open, decorated with lanterns and streamers, bustling with extraordinary excitement.

From early morning, countless streaks of light flew in from all over the Qingyun Sect, landing at the foot of Yifei Peak. Guided by specialized maids, they slowly ascended the mountain path paved with white jade.

Li Yifei stood on the square in front of the main hall with his hands behind his back, gazing at the endless stream of guests, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

Just as he had expected, eight or nine out of ten guests who arrived today were female Cultivators.

Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, Core Disciples, and even a few female Elders who usually lived in seclusion had sent their Disciples to deliver congratulatory gifts.

These female Cultivators were either cold as ice, gentle as water, charming and cute, or gorgeous and passionate.

Now gathered together, their voices like warbling birds and their subtle fragrances drifting, they adorned the vast Yifei Peak like the celestial Jade Pool.

In their eyes were curiosity, envy, scrutiny, and even subtle jealousy, but without exception, all their focus eventually converged on the leisurely standing, extraordinary young man.

Li Yifei—this name had now become a legend among the female Disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

He was not only a Genius of the Dao of Alchemy but also a "miracle creator" who could turn the mundane into the extraordinary.

Qin Mengyao, a bitter Cultivator who had failed twice, had gained a new life in his hands.

Murong Xue, the favored daughter of heaven with an Earthly Spiritual Root, had forged a First-Grade Dao Foundation with his help.

Now there was also Gu Manqing; the situation of this Talisman Hall deacon was known to everyone in the Sect, and she had almost been sentenced to death on her path of Dao, yet she had similarly been reborn from the ashes at Yifei Peak.

These living examples were more impactful than any words.

"Look, that's Senior Brother Li Yifei! He's even more handsome and extraordinary than the rumors!"

"The one beside him must be Senior Sister Luo Lingxi, right? And Senior Sister Su Yanran... Heavens! Every woman on Yifei Peak is radiant and has an otherworldly temperament."

"Hmph, what's so great about it? He's just relying on a Dual Cultivation Technique," a female Cultivator said sourly.

"What do you know! If it were just an ordinary Dual Cultivation Technique, how could it have such Heaven-Defying power to change one's fate? Besides, look at the Senior Sisters of Yifei Peak—which one of them isn't willing and full of happiness? This shows that Senior Brother Li treats them extremely well!"

"That's true... If one could gain Senior Brother Li's favor, let alone Foundation Establishment, even the Golden Core Great Dao might not be just a pipe dream..."

Amidst the discussions, the ceremony slowly kicked off.

Maids brought out fine wine brewed from spiritual springs, pastries made from spiritual grains, and delicacies carefully cooked from the meat of first-rank Yao Beasts to entertain guests from all directions.

The atmosphere gradually heated up amidst the melodious immortal music and the chatter of the crowd.

Finally, the auspicious hour arrived.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qin Mengyao, Murong Xue, and Gu Manqing, dressed in beautiful palace gowns, walked out of the main hall together.

A powerful Foundation Establishment Stage pressure emanated without concealment. The three of them were graceful and high-spirited, especially the confidence and joy between their brows stemming from the leap in their life level, which stung the eyes of countless female Cultivators present who were still struggling in the Qi Refining stage.

The atmosphere of the entire venue reached its climax at this moment!

"Congratulations to Senior Sister Qin, Senior Sister Murong, and Senior Sister Gu on achieving the Dao!"

"Congratulations to Yifei Peak for adding three more Foundation Establishment experts!"

Congratulations rose and fell one after another, and countless envious gazes were cast upon the three of them, as well as the man standing behind them who had personally created all of this, Li Yifei.

Li Yifei smiled slightly, just about to say a few polite words for the occasion.

However, at this very moment, a sudden change occurred!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three dull, thunder-like explosions resounded simultaneously, not from one direction, but from three different locations in the back mountains of Yifei Peak!

Immediately following that, three waves of Spiritual Qi fluctuations, even more vast and majestic than when Qin Mengyao broke through, soared into the sky!

The originally clear sky above Yifei Peak was instantly filled with surging clouds and winds!

Three enormous Spiritual Qi vortexes formed frantically at a speed visible to the naked eye, hanging side by side in the sky like the mouths of three giant beasts devouring heaven and earth, madly swallowing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a hundred-mile radius!

This... this is...

Someone is about to establish their Foundation?!

And it's three people performing Foundation Establishment at the same time?!

The entire square fell into instant silence!

Everyone's movements froze; the enthusiastic smiles, envious expressions, and congratulatory words were all frozen on their faces.

Countless pairs of beautiful eyes stared fixedly at the three spectacular Spiritual Qi vortexes in the sky, their eyes filled with extreme, unbelievable shock!

"Heavens! Am I seeing this right? Three... three Spiritual Qi vortexes?!" A female Cultivator accidentally knocked over her wine cup, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

"It's Han Feifei, Shangguan Qing, and Yue Chaner! I heard before that these three Senior Sisters at Qi Refining Perfection had joined Yifei Peak not long ago! So... so it's true! They actually chose today, during the ceremony, to break through simultaneously!"

"Crazy! This is simply crazy! In a single day, Yifei Peak is going to produce another three Foundation Establishment Cultivators?! How are the rest of us supposed to live!"

"This isn't a Foundation Establishment Ceremony... this is a miracle exhibition! Senior Brother Li... he is announcing to the entire Qingyun Sect that he has the ability to mass-produce Foundation Establishment Cultivators!"
