Su Qingyan's special skills are unmatched!
Lin Yuan retracted the Illusion Transformation Art, restoring his original aged appearance.
He did not completely conceal his Cultivation, instead maintaining it at the Fifth Level of Qi Refining.
In this way, he could hide most of his strength without appearing too weak, which would invite unnecessary trouble.
"Dong, dong, dong."
Just then, a gentle knocking sound came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Uncle Lin, are you home?"
Su Qingyan's slightly coquettish voice drifted in.
"Shuanger, let her in." Lin Yuan spoke calmly.
Han Shuang opened the courtyard gate as instructed.
Su Qingyan was wearing a pink silk dress, making her figure appear even more graceful, and an unconcealable joy hung on her face.
When she walked near Han Shuang, Han Shuang's nose twitched slightly.
A familiar, faint fragrance was exactly the same as the scent lingering on Lin Yuan yesterday.
Han Shuang's heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle; she vaguely guessed the relationship between Lin Yuan and Su Qingyan.
She lowered her eyes to hide the gloom in them and silently stepped aside to make way.
Su Qingyan did not notice the young girl's thoughts and walked straight into the east wing room where Lin Yuan was, closing the door behind her.
"Look at me!"
Like a cat offering a treasure, she spun around in place, and the spiritual power fluctuations of a Fifth Level of Qi Refining Cultivator rippled out without reservation.
The Bottleneck that had plagued her for years had been broken through like dry wood snapping under the influence of Lin Yuan's Medicinal Pill.
"Not bad, not bad."
Lin Yuan sat on a chair, holding a teacup, and took a light sip, his expression calm.
"However, you coming over in such a hurry, it shouldn't just be to show off your Cultivation to me, right?"
Lin Yuan put down the teacup, his gaze falling upon her.
Su Qingyan's cheeks flushed, but instead of feeling any shyness, she walked step by step in front of Lin Yuan, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her entire body against him.
"I have lived as a widow for so many years; Uncle Lin, didn't you taste just how hungry I am yesterday?"
Her warm breath, carrying a hint of sweetness, brushed against Lin Yuan's ear, teasing his heartstrings like a feather.
Lin Yuan scooped her up by the waist.
...
Two cups of tea later.
After experiencing two sessions of face-to-face hard Cultivation, Lin Yuan gained ten attribute points.
Su Qingyan was currently leaning lazily against the headboard, her hair disheveled and her eyes unfocused.
"We've known each other for so many years, but I still don't know what your Spiritual Root is."
Lin Yuan leaned on the other side and asked.
"Me?"
Su Qingyan lazily stretched.
"My Aptitude isn't the best, but it's not too bad either; it's a Medium Grade Water Spiritual Root."
The grades of Spiritual Root, from low to high, are divided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and supreme grade.
Lin Yuan himself had the worst Low-Grade Spiritual Root; otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted decades, with his Cultivation remaining at the Third Layer of Qi Refining.
With a Medium Grade Spiritual Root, while one cannot be considered a Sect Prodigy, as long as resources keep up, reaching the Perfection of Qi Refining is not difficult.
As for Foundation Establishment, that would depend on one's own Opportunity and background.
"A Medium Grade Water Spiritual Root... that's passable."
Lin Yuan understood.
If it were a Low-Grade Spiritual Root, he would decisively give up further investment, as that would be a pure waste of Medicinal Pill.
But a Medium Grade Spiritual Root was worth him investing some resources to push her Cultivation further.
The higher the Cultivation, the more attribute points she could provide for him.
"Why ask about my Spiritual Root?"
Su Qingyan turned on her side, looking at him curiously.
"Since you have followed me, I naturally won't treat you poorly."
Lin Yuan said indifferently.
"In the future, if I have some surplus Medicinal Pill in my hands, I can give you some."
"Uncle Lin, you are truly so good!"
Su Qingyan suddenly pecked him on the cheek, her eyes full of surprise and touched emotion.
She leaned into Lin Yuan's ear, her breath fragrant like an orchid.
"My family was poor when I was young, and before I stepped into Cultivation, I learned to play wind instruments."
"As long as it's something I can put in my mouth, I can make it blow..."
...
Time flowed, and half a month passed in a hurry.
In these fifteen days, Lin Yuan's life became exceptionally regular.
During the day, he would sweat profusely in the alchemy room, refining Spiritual Plant into batches of Medicinal Pill.
At night, he would sweat profusely in his own bedroom.
Either guiding Han Shuang to Cultivate the Golden Body Art, feeling that physique full of strength and resilience.
Or engaging in face-to-face hard Cultivation with Su Qingyan, enjoying the growth of attribute points.
Half a month later, his Cultivation had quietly broken through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.
And in his hands, he had accumulated a considerable amount of Medicinal Pill.
Fifty-eight Low Grade condensing yuan pill, which were to be handed over to the Sect to complete the task; however, being short by two, they could be supplemented with qi gathering pill.
Fifty Low Grade qi gathering pill.
Sixty Medium Grade qi gathering pill.
Thirty-eight high-grade qi gathering pill.
If all these Medicinal Pill were taken to the market to be sold, according to the current soaring prices of pills, Lin Yuan estimated that he could exchange them for at least three thousand Spirit Stone.
Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, and he looked at the small golden characters at the bottom of his eyes that only he could see.
【Cultivation: Seventh Layer of Qi Refining: 500 / 700 (addable points)】
【Seventh-Grade Alchemist: 3 / 300 (addable points)】
【Second-Grade Fire Control Art: 2 / 200 (addable points); Illusion Transformation Art (Perfection)】
【Available attribute points: 177】
"It is time to go out for a trip."
Lin Yuan gave instructions to Han Shuang, who was guarding the courtyard, then stepped out, activated the black wood shuttle, and headed straight towards the market at the foot of the mountain.
...
Meanwhile.
Yin Corpse Sect, Green Bamboo Peak.
Inside an Immortal Cave shrouded in thick, blood-colored mist.
Xue Linglong sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, her expression solemn.
In front of her, three Medicinal Pill were quietly floating.
Each Medicinal Pill emitted astonishing spiritual power fluctuations, with the pill essence flowing like light; one could tell at a glance that they were definitely not ordinary items.
If someone knowledgeable were here, they would definitely exclaim in surprise.
These three were surprisingly the foundation establishment pill that countless Cultivators at the Perfection of Qi Refining dreamed of!
Among them, two were Low Grade, and one had even reached the rare Medium Grade quality.
"For this Medium Grade foundation establishment pill, I almost sold all the valuable Cultivation resources on my body."
Madness and determination flashed in Xue Linglong's eyes.
"Plus these two Low Grade foundation establishment pill as supplements."
"And... this Red Blood Dragon Marrow Pill!"
Finally, she took out a Medicinal Pill the size of a dragon's eye, crimson as blood throughout, with faint Dragon-shaped patterns moving on its surface.
Once this pill appeared, the temperature of the entire Immortal Cave seemed to rise a bit.
"It will surely help me achieve Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment in one go!"
There are also levels of superiority and inferiority in a Cultivator's Foundation Establishment.
From low to high, it is divided into three levels: Human Dao, Earth Dao, and Heavenly Dao.
The level of Foundation Establishment directly determines how far a Cultivator can go on their future Dao path.
Human Dao Foundation Establishment has the shallowest Foundation, with an ordinary Dantian and Qi Sea, and the hope of impacting the Golden Core realm in the future is less than one in ten thousand.
Earth Dao Foundation Establishment is already considered not bad and is the choice of the vast majority of Sect elites.
But Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment has a Foundation far more profound than the former two, with a Dantian and Qi Sea as vast as the ocean. Once successful, the probability of condensing a Golden Core in the future will greatly increase, and within the same rank, the combat power is simply overwhelming.
Xue Linglong, a person with high aspirations, naturally sought that supreme Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
"After Foundation Establishment, I must start preparing the Materials for refining the supreme detachment pill."
Her thoughts drifted away for a moment.
"This pill... the Materials are rare, and it also requires a Seventh-Grade or higher Alchemist Grandmaster to act, only then is there a possibility of refining it."
"Forget it, thinking about these is still too early; let's Foundation Establishment first!"
A fierce look flashed in Xue Linglong's eyes, and she no longer hesitated.
She opened her red lips and took a sharp breath.
The Red Blood Dragon Marrow Pill and one Low Grade foundation establishment pill instantly turned into two streams of light and were swallowed into her abdomen.
Boom!
A violent and peerless medicinal power exploded within her body in an instant!
The aura on her body began to climb and surge crazily at a terrifying speed!
The entire Immortal Cave trembled violently along with it.
