The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 210 Master's Tribulation
Not long after returning to Guanghan Immortal City, Chen Jinshu cleared the toxins from his body, and his cultivation level improved significantly as a result.

After finishing up the matter of the fallen demon cultivators with his senior brothers and sisters in the Immortal City, Chen Jinshu took his mother and returned to the sect on the spirit ship of the Nascent Soul Elder.

The first thing she did upon returning to the sect was to buy a courtyard for her mother in the market town. The market town was built on a high-level spiritual vein branch of the sect, where spiritual energy was abundant.

As long as Wu Shuya focuses on cultivation afterward, she still has a great chance of achieving Foundation Establishment.

Chen Jinshu also gave her one.

After finishing his family business, Chen Jinshu's state of mind improved significantly, and he began a five-year period of seclusion and cultivation.

……

Five years later.

Chen Jinshu is nearly thirty years old, but she doesn't look much older than she did five years ago because her cultivation method gradually increases her lifespan and also beautifies her complexion.

Her lifespan was also fifty or sixty years longer than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, all of which she accumulated little by little.

Ink Plum Garden.

Mo Mei had perhaps been immersed in her music for too long, and during this time she had transformed into a spirit tree, possessing the potential to awaken her intelligence.

Whether or not the plum tree can gain wisdom depends on its own destiny.

Four years ago, Yinshan Sparrow also entered the Foundation Establishment stage as she wished, completing a transformation of her bloodline and acquiring one-fifth of the Azure Phoenix bloodline. Recently, she has been learning racial talent skills from the Azure Phoenix in the Phoenix Cry Jade Pendant.

Chen Jinshu was not idle either. She gradually delved into her alchemy skills and has already obtained the second-level superior alchemist certificate, becoming a well-known young talent in the inner sect.

Every day, several visiting cards arrive asking for elixirs.

The Xuanming Sect has many Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they stay at this level for five or six years. If they had high-grade pills, their cultivation would be even faster. However, such pills are often scarce.

Even if the sect sells them, they are expensive. Another option is to hire someone to help refine the pills, which requires paying a certain fee and delivering 50% of the finished product.

Thanks to the Azure Phoenix True Fire of the Yinshan Sparrow spirit, Chen Jinshu's refined pills were of extremely high quality, and were highly praised by the disciples within the sect.

However, she has her own rules for this, just like the plant doctor, she will only take on one or two cases a month.

Inside the bamboo house of the Spirit Plant Space.

Chen Jinshu's figure emerged from a blue spiritual lotus flower, and as she sensed the changes in the spiritual energy in her dantian, her dimples deepened.

"Five years have passed, and I've finally raised my cultivation to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage!"

Three years ago, she unexpectedly found a Spirit Cleansing Grass, which cleansed her metal spiritual root, and she is now a cultivator with both fire and wood spiritual roots.

Of course, even without washing away this spiritual root, her cultivation speed is not slow, as her spiritual root and physique have been tempered many times.

Especially during that time at the Moonlit Pool, her spiritual root purity almost reached the level of a single spiritual root, coupled with the lotus petal birthmark on her forehead constantly tempering her physique.

Of course, the effect of washing away one spiritual root will be more obvious, making her more aware of and able to utilize the fire and wood spiritual roots, and better able to use them for her own benefit.

Therefore, it is not unusual for someone to advance their cultivation from the second level of Foundation Establishment to the peak of Foundation Establishment in five years.

In recent years, due to the destruction of the demonic cultivator's lair, both senior brother Zheng Shaosi and senior brother Xie Mofeng have successively advanced to the Golden Core stage.

The remaining senior brothers and sisters are not bad either, and they are also approaching the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Chen Jinshu's advantage lies in the fact that he has washed away the impurities from his spiritual root, which allows him to cultivate quickly.

She plans to break through to the Golden Core stage within ten years.

"I heard today is the day Master emerges from seclusion, so we can't be late."

She quickly stood up, covering her dark blue sect robes with a thin veil, which gave her an ethereal air.

But this sheer garment is no ordinary piece; it is a defensive treasure that she painstakingly acquired from someone else.

I won't be harmed by those poisonous insects again next time.

After leaving the spiritual plant space, she sensed several communication talismans floating outside the door.

She examined it carefully in her hand after receiving it.

One of the letters was from my second uncle and his group. They have now traveled dozens of miles and settled in an unfamiliar immortal city, and both of them have successfully established their foundations.

They just didn't plan to go back to the Ning family. "It's better to stay away from those troublesome places. Let's just live our own little family in peace."

Foundation Establishment cultivators have a lifespan of over two hundred years, which will increase as their cultivation level improves. As long as nothing unexpected happens, my second uncle's family can live peacefully for several hundred years.

There were also two requests from senior disciples in the inner sect to refine pills, with the reward being a rare spiritual herb.

The last letter was from my mother, saying that she had gone to various places to seek resources.

My mother, Wu Shuya, has some talent. She reached the Foundation Establishment stage a year ago. Since then, she has been restless and often travels to various places to explore the immortal realm, saying that she wants to see the vast mountains and seas.

"Now that Mother has no more worries, she feels much more relaxed."

She smiled faintly and immediately put the envelope away. She was still considering whether to accept the two letters requesting alchemy services.

Just then, the token at her waist flashed.

"Junior Sister! Master has emerged from seclusion! He's summoning us!"

"Okay, senior brother, I'm coming right away."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu immediately mounted the Yinshan Sparrow and headed towards the Biyi Palace.

After breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Jinshu no longer restricted the movement of the Yinshan Sparrow within the sect, as most inner disciples knew that it was her spirit pet and should not be offended.

When she arrived at the front hall, several senior brothers and sisters were already sitting upright.

"Disciple greets Master!" Chen Jinshu said respectfully to the beautiful woman drinking tea gracefully opposite him.

"Jinshu has arrived. Please sit down. I've come mainly to give you some instructions. I will soon be descending to the mortal realm to undergo my tribulation." A faint smile touched Shui Huanmeng's lips, gentle and unassuming, giving her an air of elderly grace.

Chen Jinshu was somewhat speechless, and quickly sat down in his assigned seat.

He then looked intently at his master, sensing an indescribable aura emanating from him; his master seemed both different and unchanged.

“When you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, you will also experience three tribulations. I have already passed two tribulations, and now only the Tribulation of Cause and Effect remains.” Shui Huanmeng said, her face showing some melancholy.

This karmic tribulation is the most difficult to overcome. Some people overcome it in a short time, some take a year, some take more than ten years, some take a hundred years, and some take their entire lives.

"These are the items I prepared for you to help you form your core. Since Shao Si and Mo Feng have already formed their cores, I replaced them with Golden Core treasures. I don't know when we will meet again after this parting, and I also cannot predict my own karmic tribulations."

A look of worry flashed across everyone's eyes.

"But you don't need to worry. Karmic tribulations only trap you. They won't take your life. If they do take your life, then you'll die of old age." Shui Huanmeng joked, noticing the somber atmosphere.

Then, the box containing the Core Formation item was presented to Chen Jinshu and the others.

"Thank you very much for the gift, Master!"

Chen Jinshu looked at the box in front of him as if it were a farewell gift.

Although she didn't spend as much time with her master as fifty or sixty years, the period during which he taught her was the most rewarding for her.

"Master! Is there really no other way? Must we descend to the mortal realm?"

"Entering the mortal realm is just a way of saying it. We are not immortals, so how could we enter the mortal realm? It's just that our cultivation memories have been concealed by the Heavenly Dao..."

"Of course, some people achieve enlightenment directly after overcoming this karmic tribulation and are guided by the Heavenly Dao to ascend to heaven."

The rule in this cultivation world is that after passing through three tribulations at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, one can reach the Tribulation Transcending realm and ascend to immortality.

Therefore, it is not impossible for someone to achieve enlightenment and ascend to immortality after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

There has been one such case in tens of thousands of years.

However, there are also rumors that the traces of that person were erased by the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, when Shui Huanmeng said these words, the others were not very happy, but rather worried.

Just as everyone was about to ask something, Shui Huanmeng suddenly emitted a faint fluorescent glow.

"Disciples. My karmic tribulation is about to begin. We shall meet again if fate allows!" Shui Huanmeng glanced at her disciples and then vanished before everyone's eyes.

"Master!" the eight people exclaimed at the same time, their voices filled with panic.
