Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 325: Chapter 73: Song Yiqing’s Foundation Establishment!

Jingxin Pavilion,

Zhou Xun sat alone at the stone table, holding a bottle of Peach Blossom Brew, slowly savoring it.

In the distance, the setting sun painted the lake and the entire world in crimson hues.

Nearby, the Calm Heart Lotus was in full bloom.

Zhou Xun’s fingers twitched slightly, and a stream of Qi Force shot out, picking up a lotus pod and placing it on the stone table before him.

He put down the bottle, picked up the lotus pod, peeled a lotus seed, and fed it into his mouth.

Crisp and sweet!

In addition to relentless cultivation, enjoying the beauty of nature and good food could also relax the mind.

It aids in the improvement of cultivation.

At this moment, a figure appeared on the stone path in the distance.

In a simple moonlit dress, her hair was piled high, her figure tall with full curves, and her bare feet resembled jade roots.

Making Zhou Xun’s throat dry slightly.

It had been nearly a year since he last saw Song Yiqing.

”Husband!”

As she approached, Song Yiqing gave a gentle bow, revealing a fair complexion.

This was when Zhou Xun noticed that Song Yiqing’s body was brimming with mana, appearing quite full.

He couldn’t help but reveal a look of surprise and joy,

”Yiqing, you’ve reached Qi Refining Perfection!”

Now fifty-five years old, Song Yiqing had reached Qi Refining Perfection, much faster than he had expected, it seemed she had endured quite a bit over the years.

”Thank you for nurturing me, husband, or I wouldn’t be here today!” Song Yiqing also flashed a joyful smile at this moment.

Zhou Xun’s compliments always brought her great joy.

She sought not eternal life and longevity, watching the world change, but rather to stay by Zhou Xun’s side a little longer.

Even if just an extra moment!

Naturally, Zhou Xun also sensed her deep affection!

”With such a woman, what more could a man seek!”

Zhou Xun couldn’t help but be moved!

Then he gently grasped her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.

Afterward, mana surged from his body, and the White Mirage Pearl flew out on its own, transforming into a mist that enveloped the entire Jingxin Pavilion...

For a long time, the storm subsided.

Their clothes and demeanor were now corrected, sitting solemnly upright.

Only a faint flush remained on Song Yiqing’s face, bearing witness to all that had transpired before.

”Since you’ve reached Qi Refining Perfection, it’s time to focus on breaking through; I’ll prepare a Foundation Establishment Pill for you!”

”You can head to the Zone E Cave Mansion!”

The Zone E Cave Mansion was specifically set up by Zhou Xun for breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, filled with the Foundation Establishment Insights he had gathered.

The last time Zhou Jingsong used this cave mansion, he successfully established his foundation.

”Alright!”

Song Yiqing nodded, chatted for a moment, then got up and left.

Lake Heart Island Cave Mansion Cultivation Room.

This cultivation room had not been used by Zhou Xun for several years, as he typically cultivated at the lake’s bottom.

Reopening it now was naturally for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, tapped his waist, and several streams of Spirit Light flew out, landing before him.

A Magical Treasure Pill Furnace, a stack of Dragon Spirit Wood Charcoal, a Tier Two Demon Pill,

A Bright Flower, Dragon Heart Fruit, and Earth Spirit Grass, each one, along with a portion of other supplementary herbs for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Song Yiqing knew now that Zhou Xun intended to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill on the spot.

Zhou Xun made a spell gesture, and a stream of Spirit Light hit beneath the pill furnace, where a bright yellow flame rose, enveloping the entire pill furnace.

Zhou Xun altered the spell, and the flame slowly diminished.

Once the pill furnace was sufficiently nurtured, Zhou Xun’s fingers moved, and the pill furnace opened automatically, with the spirit medicines flying into it.

After an unknown period, the refining of the spirit medicines was complete.

Zhou Xun changed the spell.

The liquid within the pill furnace converged, continuously rotating.

Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance of the elixir permeated through the lid and spread out.

Zhou Xun took a deep breath, invigorated, feeling the mana within his Dantian slightly stir.

Even with his Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivation, the pill’s fragrance alone had such an effect, reflecting the exceptional quality of the elixir.

Zhou Xun invoked the Condensing Pill Technique, pointing at the pill furnace, causing the elixirs inside to quickly form.

”Rise!”

With a gentle shout, the lid of the furnace opened automatically.

Three milky-white pills flew out in an unbroken line, landing in Zhou Xun’s palm.

Two of them were particularly smooth, with a flow of Spirit Charm on the surface, appearing incredibly translucent and perfect.

”These are, Premium Level Foundation Establishment Pills!”

Zhou Xun was amazed,

Even for a Tier Three Alchemy Master, it was rare to produce such Premium Pills.

Yet Zhou Xun managed to produce two Premiums in one attempt, showcasing remarkable skills.

Moreover, during the last refinement of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he also achieved one Premium.

”It seems my alchemy skills have improved considerably!”

He stored away two of the Foundation Establishment Pills.

The remaining one was intended for Song Yiqing and naturally needed further enhancement.

He took out a Tier Two Low-Grade Spirit Medicine, using the Spring Condensation Technique, he approached the Premium Foundation Establishment Pill with the Spirit Medicine Essence.

Brilliant light erupted, dissipating only after quite some time.

It revealed a pill surrounded by flowing Spirit Charm, resembling an Immortal Pill!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun nodded in satisfaction, then took out a Jade Pill Bottle, placed it inside, and sealed it with a Sealing Spirit Talisman.

...

Arriving at the Zone E Cultivation Studio, Song Yiqing was studying Foundation Establishment Insights.

Seeing Zhou Xun enter, Song Yiqing rose to attend to him.

”Focus on your studies,” Zhou Xun said with a wave of his hand.

Then he picked up the Jade Scroll that Song Yiqing was studying, scanned a few lines, then began explaining.

His transformation was at the Early-Stage Core Formation, and his true form had also reached the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment, sitting atop a high view, explaining to Song Yiqing naturally posed no problem.

In the following days, Zhou Xun’s true form spent the time explaining to Song Yiqing, and during leisure, engaging in some relaxing activities.

And so, three months passed.

”Alright, now that you’re familiar with the Foundation Establishment Three Gates, you can formally undertake the breakthrough!”

Saying this, he tapped his Storage Bag, took out the Super-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill he had specially prepared for her, and placed it on the table.

Song Yiqing accepted the pill bottle, nodded, and headed towards the cultivation room.

Sitting cross-legged, she took out a Tier Two Low-Grade Calming Incense and lit it.

The scent of sandalwood drifted into her nose, instantly calming Song Yiqing’s mind, allowing her to begin adjusting her Essence, Qi, and Spirit to peak condition.

After a long while, Song Yiqing opened her eyes, her gaze calm like a deep well, extremely serene.

She then opened the elixir bottle, and a rich medicinal aroma wafted out.

The Pill Qi entered her body, and Song Yiqing felt her mana surge within, with a faint sensation of breakthrough.

”This is... Premium Foundation Establishment Pill!”

Song Yiqing was surprised, feeling a surge of gratitude.

”Certainly, my husband labored hard to find this for my successful breakthrough!”

She poured it into her palm and swallowed without hesitation.

The elixir entered her stomach, and a strong medicinal force rose; Song Yiqing immediately circulated her cultivation technique, beginning to refine this force, initiating the breakthrough.

...

It was unclear how much time had passed.

Suddenly, streams of Spiritual Qi gathered above the cave mansion, finally forming a spiritual energy vortex several tens of feet wide.

Numerous yet orderly, all following a pattern towards the vortex’s center.

”The spiritual energy vortex is orderly, which means Yiqing’s breakthrough is smooth!”

Zhou Xun let out a sigh of relief.

At this point, the three gates were essentially crossed, leaving only the task of condensing ten drops of Liquid Magical Power, after which Song Yiqing could officially enter the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Enjoying a lifespan of two hundred years.

As time passed, the vortex gradually vanished, everything returning to calm.

With a sweep of the Divine Sense, Zhou Xun revealed a gentle smile.
