12: Chapter 12: Daily Life Living with Hong Fu!

What does it feel like to live with one's own Revered Master?

Zhao Changsheng finally understood how Yang Guo felt.

Although his Revered Master wasn't the Little Dragon Maiden, she was still a beautiful woman who retained her charm.

Moreover, his Revered Master's Immortal Cave could be considered a true immortal's abode.

Not only was it overflowing with Immortal Qi, but there were also over a dozen beautiful, charming, and exceptionally lovely Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters!

Why call them Junior Sisters? Because they weren't Hong Fu's actual Disciples, but rather Disciples of Yellow Maple Valley.

Their responsibility was to help Hong Fu manage the affairs inside and outside the Immortal Cave, so Zhao Changsheng could call them Junior Sisters, whereas there were only a few true Senior Sisters.

Under Hong Fu's introduction, Zhao Changsheng successfully met his Senior Sisters and received meeting gifts from them.

Compared to the gifts from a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, the gifts from these Senior Sisters were relatively fewer; the best one was only a top-grade magic tool, while the rest were Spirit Stones, Materials, Talismans, and such.

Regardless, as the number one Core Formation Stage Cultivator in Yellow Maple Valley, Hong Fu's Immortal Cave contained a Spirit Eye Spring, making the entire cave full of Spiritual Qi and Immortal Qi.

This was also a major reason why the Disciples under her liked to Cultivate with Hong Fu, as Cultivating here was better than in their own Immortal Caves.

Zhao Changsheng felt the same, especially since he was a Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator, and his Cultivation speed far surpassed that of other Disciples.

Zhao Changsheng didn't want to bother with extraneous matters, so he stayed peacefully in Hong Fu's Immortal Cave to Cultivate, ignoring everything in the outside world, which made Hong Fu quite satisfied and relieved.

In just a year's time, Zhao Changsheng's Realm advanced by leaps and bounds, directly reaching the peak of the 13th layer of the Qi Refinement Stage.

Such a rapid Cultivation speed was rare even among Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivators, so this naturally caught the attention of his Revered Master, Hong Fu.

"In just one year, you've reached the 13th layer of the Qi Refinement Stage. In that case, have you decided to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage on your own, or do you want to use a foundation establishment pill to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Hong Fu looked at Zhao Changsheng standing beside her and asked, her voice rarely becoming soft and gentle, which surprised the nearby Disciples.

As Hong Fu's Disciples, they had never heard their Revered Master speak to anyone like this—so soft, gentle, and as tender as water.

It felt like a dream, but when they thought of Zhao Changsheng's Aptitude and his terrifying Cultivation speed, they understood.

If they had encountered such a Disciple, they might have been even more gentle than Hong Fu.

"Revered Master, is there any difference between the two?"

Hearing Hong Fu's question, Zhao Changsheng raised an eyebrow and asked about his confusion.

In the current Cultivation World, a Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator is the only one who can successfully achieve Foundation Establishment through their own ability without taking any Medicinal Pills.

As for Cultivators with other Spiritual Root Aptitudes, they all need to take a foundation establishment pill or other Foundation Establishment items; relying on their own ability to succeed is nearly impossible.

"There is naturally a difference. If you take a foundation establishment pill, you can succeed in Foundation Establishment in three months at most; if you rely on yourself, the time required is uncertain."

Hong Fu explained patiently.

"In that case, I choose to take a foundation establishment pill, as it will be faster."

Zhao Changsheng said, "It just so happens that I have a foundation establishment pill in my possession, making it an excellent choice."

In fact, even Zhao Changsheng hadn't expected to Cultivate so quickly; it was somewhat surprising. But since he had reached this stage, he naturally had to hurry and achieve Foundation Establishment.

Only after Foundation Establishment could he have a certain status; his current status relied entirely on Hong Fu and his Spiritual Root Aptitude, not his own true strength.

"Good, then be extra careful. How about this, I will first tell you the precautions for Foundation Establishment so you aren't unprepared. Although you won't fail, there could still be some trouble."

Hong Fu nodded and directly told Zhao Changsheng the precautions for Foundation Establishment in great detail, without missing a single word.

This scene made the other Disciples envious, yet they felt no jealousy.

After all, Zhao Changsheng was different from them; he was a man and had a Heavenly Spiritual Root, with infinite potential. They might even need to rely on him in the future, so they wouldn't hold a grudge over such a small matter.

Instead, they would try their best to befriend him, which was the wisest and most correct approach.

After receiving guidance from his Revered Master, Zhao Changsheng felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Immediately, he expressed his gratitude to Hong Fu and chose to return to his stone house to prepare to take the foundation establishment pill.

As for the other Senior Sisters in the hall, none of them left; instead, they asked Hong Fu about Zhao Changsheng.

"Revered Master, are you interested in finding a suitable Dao Companion for Junior Brother?"

Indeed, these Senior Sisters of Zhao Changsheng were all moved—not by his appearance, but by his immense potential and future.

It just so happened that because of Hong Fu, they had never found a suitable Dao Companion, and now Zhao Changsheng was the most suitable candidate, so they naturally wanted to try.

If they could become Dao Companions with Zhao Changsheng, their future would be bright.

If nothing else, having a Core Formation Stage Dao Companion meant they might even have a chance to form a Golden Core and advance to the Core Formation Stage; such an Opportunity was not easily obtained.

So they were unwilling to give up, even going so far as to bring it up directly in front of everyone.

"Have all you girls' hearts started to flutter?"

Hearing this, Hong Fu, being an experienced person, immediately knew what her Disciples were thinking and couldn't help but laughingly scold them.

Was it really because of her that these Disciples had never found suitable Dao Companions?

Hong Fu felt quite guilty, but to prevent her Disciples from finding unfaithful or heartless men, she still didn't allow them to just pick any man to be their Dao Companion.

Facing Hong Fu's teasing, her Disciples' cheeks flushed, and they looked at each other; none of them refuted or admitted it, but they all looked back at Hong Fu, waiting for her decision.

After all, only Hong Fu could make the final decision on this matter.
