107: Yunjiao Pavilion, your wish comes true! (Please read it later)

Night fell.

Inside the Immortal Cave in the Immortal City, Shi Chuan, using Chi Xiuyuan’s identity, successfully advanced to Foundation Establishment. After that, he began to stabilize his cultivation in the Immortal Cave.

Regardless, he had now attracted outside attention. As long as he could attract the attention of a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Cloud Serpent Pavilion and receive their olive branches, his goal would be achieved.

Unconsciously, it was time for intelligence to be re-sorted.

Keywords triggered.

zi shi has arrived.

Received a second-tier green intelligence.

Green Intelligence: Inside the Cloud Serpent Pavilion, Elder Changfeng of the Jiao Demon Sect returned injured from the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range after picking a precious medicinal herb. Old Ancestor Kuai, Kuai Feng, who went with him, was critically injured and on the verge of death. After Changfeng saved his life with a Medicinal Pill, he returned to his Family to go into seclusion. Changfeng also went into seclusion due to demon poison.

Qu Linglu and Yu Jiao, who belong to Elder Changfeng in the Cloud Serpent Pavilion, have all begun to face suppression.

The keywords Shi Chuan had set were related to Elder Changfeng and Qu Linglu’s current situation.

This intelligence was beneficial to Shi Chuan and posed no harm.

Elder Changfeng was injured and in seclusion.

Now was the perfect opportunity to bring Qu Linglu and Yu Jiao under his wing.

...

The next day.

Shi Chuan emerged from seclusion.

The elderly Qi Refining Cultivator guarding the Immortal Cave respectfully bowed to Shi Chuan, congratulating him: “Congratulations, Senior Chi, on successfully advancing to Foundation Establishment.”

“These Jade Slips are all the invitations from several Foundation Establishment powers in the city for Senior Chi!”

With that, the elderly Cultivator took out seven Jade Slips from his Storage Pouch.

This was several times fewer than when Yu Shu’s identity advanced.

For an ordinary Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had condensed a Low Grade Law Seed, this was already quite good.

Shi Chuan nodded in response, and with a slight movement of his Divine Thought, he put all the Jade Slips into his possession.

Just as he left the Immortal Cave.

Shi Chuan sensed the pressure from a Fellow Daoist on the restaurant outside the street. After exchanging Divine Sense for a while, he stepped on a red cloud and flew to the top floor of the restaurant.

“Daoist Chi.”

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on advancing to Foundation Establishment at such an advanced age. Fellow Daoist’s perseverance is extraordinary and admirable!”

“I am Zhan Mingyuan of the Zhan Family, and I have prepared a congratulatory gift in advance. I hope Fellow Daoist will be pleased.”

Zhan Mingyuan cupped his fists and bowed, his tone polite.

At the same time, he took out the corpse raising bag he had prepared.

Meanwhile, Zhan Mingyuan sensed the surging vitality on Chi Xiuyuan, who had just advanced to Foundation Establishment, which also made him quite envious.

The difficulty of advancing to Foundation Establishment was such that in the past few hundred years, only one Prodigy of their Zhan Family with dual Spiritual Roots had successfully advanced. Unfortunately, it was also because of his high talent.

He was taken in as a Guest Elder by a Core Formation Old Ancestor on Qingyue Peak and died in the belly of a Yao Beast during an out-of-city hunt for Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts.

The Zhan Family had poured all their resources into nurturing him, only to end up with such a fate.

Zhan Mingyuan was also angry but dared not speak, only able to live humbly in the Immortal City, barely staying in the inner city thanks to the slight favor left by their Family’s Prodigy on Qingyue Peak.

Old Ancestor Zhan also knew that the demise of their Family’s Prodigy was suspicious, with doubts everywhere.

But what could he, an Early Stage Foundation Establishment old man with one foot already in the grave, do?

Upon learning that the Jiao Demon Sect’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators had tried to recruit him when the Cloud Serpent Pavilion was first established, promising certain conditions, Zhan Mingyuan had unhesitatingly chosen to join.

All the members of the Zhan Family now were a bunch of good-for-nothings, and the number of younger generations with Spiritual Roots was decreasing.

Once he died, the Zhan Family’s current assets would be completely devoured.

At this time, if there could be an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator to take over his position, even if it only left one or two Bloodlines for their Zhan Family, it would be better than all of them perishing.

And such an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a Low Grade Law Seed became the best candidate in Zhan Mingyuan’s heart.

He was a Loose Cultivator, and his only Family sister was from their Zhan Family. That sister's descendant, a spiritual plant master, had also risen rapidly in status within the Family, becoming one of the core members.

He enjoyed the qualifications of a direct Bloodline of the Zhan Family.

Shi Chuan took the corpse raising bag into his hand. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he clearly detected the three half-corpse puppets inside the corpse bag, as well as a blood soul Jade Slip, which contained hundreds of wandering souls.

“Thank you, Daoist Zhan, I am very satisfied with this gift. If you have any requests, I will do my best!”

Shi Chuan saw Zhan Mingyuan and the woman standing beside him. In Chi Xiuyuan’s memory, not many people from the Chi Family had survived, and his Family sister who married into the Zhan Family was one of them.

“Since Daoist Chi has spoken, I, this old man, cannot refuse.”

“Also, this person next to me is Daoist Chi’s Family sister, Chi Yueyao. My Family sister has been in the Zhan Family for many years and has not received good treatment. I, this old man, am willing to apologize with this item and beg for Daoist Chi’s forgiveness.”

Zhan Mingyuan’s gaze fell on Chi Yueyao beside him. After a day or two of persuasion, Chi Yueyao respectfully bowed to Chi Xiuyuan and said: “Xiu… Senior Chi, Elder Zhan has already avenged our Family. Yueyao’s wish has been fulfilled, and I only wish to follow Senior Chi.”

“You’ve worked hard all these years.”

Shi Chuan offered a word of comfort but did not say much more.

Immediately, Zhan Mingyuan also raised his hand, signaling the Zhan Family members accompanying them to send Chi Yueyao back to the Family. Thereafter, Chi Yueyao’s treatment within the Family was the same as that of a High Grade Guest Elder.

Afterward.

“Daoist Zhan, if you have something to say, just speak freely.”

Shi Chuan raised his hand and set up a Spiritual Qi barrier nearby, isolating it from external prying eyes.

“Daoist Chi is indeed a straightforward person, then I, this old man, will speak plainly…”

...

As Shi Chuan expected, Zhan Mingyuan also brought up the Cloud Serpent Pavilion and explained the conditions offered by the Cloud Serpent Pavilion one by one.

The Cloud Serpent Pavilion offered a set of Core Formation Stage Cultivation Technique. As long as one served as a Guest Elder in the Cloud Serpent Pavilion for fifty years, they could obtain a Core Formation experience.

Although a Core Formation experience was not comparable to a Core Formation spiritual item, it was still quite rare.

For Foundation Establishment families, it was a treasure that could be passed down indefinitely.

Moreover, in addition to this, there would be a bottle of second-tier Low Grade Medicinal Pill every six months to aid Cultivation.

After a hundred years or more, one could receive personal lectures from Core Formation Cultivators of the Purple Cloud Sect and Jiao Demon Sect, who would explain the difficult barriers in Cultivation and the challenging points in Cultivation Techniques, and so on.

“Good!”

“I didn’t expect the Purple Cloud Sect and the Jiao Demon Sect, two Core Formation powers, to unite in the Five Elements Immortal City and establish a power. With two Core Formation powers as backing, wouldn’t it be much more formidable than the Guest Elders on Qing Yue and Bei Xuan Peaks in this Five Elements Immortal City…”

Shi Chuan, disguised as Chi Xiuyuan, said in a good mood.

“Daoist Chi, this matter is not as simple as you think. Daoist Chi, you might have been in seclusion for too long before, and now the Three Sects’ territory in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range is not what it used to be…”

Afterward, Zhan Mingyuan also clarified the pros and cons of the Cloud Serpent Pavilion.

After all, Zhan Mingyuan regarded Chi Xiuyuan as an observation subject. If suitable, he would propose that the other party take over the position of Old Ancestor Zhan.

He couldn't let him be lured away by the Cloud Serpent Pavilion.
