After Fang Tingyu left, Yao Han did not rush into the manor. Instead, he rode the Wuchang Boat and circled the small island.

This island is only a hundred feet in circumference. Although it is not as large as the main island, it has mountains and water, and lush trees and grass. It can be said that although it is small, it has all the essential parts.

Looking into the distance, a silver light shimmered on the mountain peak; it was a clear spring.

The spring water flows slowly along the mountainside, through the rainbow-colored trees covering the mountain, and circles the island following the terrain.

That is why he chose this island.

He didn't choose randomly. One of the necessary conditions for cultivating the Soul Building Record is to have a place with abundant water and wood essence. Therefore, he specially used his divine sense to screen the cave dwelling when choosing it.

In fact, given the abundance of moisture within the Water Moon Palace, he could choose any island without much trouble. However, if there were spiritual springs and flowing water within the cave dwelling, it would be much more time-saving and labor-saving.

After circling back to the woods, Yao Han stretched lazily, looking at the vibrant red and purple flowers and leaves, feeling great.

After wandering around for so long, he finally has a new cave dwelling of his own.

His footsteps rustled through the weeds and fallen leaves as he walked, using magic to clear the path as he went.

Xiao Yuan had long since disappeared, and Yao Han didn't care. Anyway, the place was surrounded by water, so it couldn't go anywhere.

After crossing a small bamboo bridge, the low hill comes into view, and behind an antique-style square pavilion, two stone gates come into sight.

The stone door was tightly closed, with weeds even sprouting from the cracks. Yao Han used magic to clean the entrance area before pushing it open and entering.

A refreshing, damp breeze wafted over her, and before she could even see it, she could hear the tinkling sound of a spring. Yao Han smiled, knowing she had chosen the right place.

The mansion was rather empty. In the hall, there was a stone table, four stone benches, and a four-tiered wooden shelf, but that was all. Both the table and the shelf were covered with a thick layer of dust, indicating that the place had been abandoned for a long time and no one had come to clean it.

Inside the main hall, on the stone wall, there is a small spring. Water overflows from it and accumulates in a small pool the size of a millstone below. This is the source of the water sound just now.

In addition, there are two man-made corridors on the east and west sides, with stone chambers in between. Inside are some stone utensils that have been covered in dust for a long time. Although they are no longer of great use, Yao Han is still delighted.

With these empty houses, he was spared the trouble of digging; he could just use them directly.

Yao Han used his magic to carefully cut away the weeds and clean up the accumulated dust, arranged bright stones all over the walls, and even carved a small hole above the pool to connect it to the outside world.

He did it very seriously.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably stay here for a long time.

Xiao Yuan returned to his side at some point, circling around the pool. Yao Han had learned his lesson this time; it would choose its own place to live anyway, so there was no need to deliberately set aside a separate place for it.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the mansion was completely transformed. Yao Han then took out various items from his storage bag and arranged them neatly by category.

These tables and chairs are all old items, things he used when he was in Renxian Mountain. Although they are not valuable, he has grown attached to them.

After all that work, it finally looks like a home.

Yes, it's much quieter now.

After spending so much time with Lan'er, it's really hard to adjust to suddenly having no one to talk to.

With a light laugh, Yao Han tossed a Spirit-Nourishing Pill to Xiao Yuan, then placed his hands behind his head, reclined comfortably on the bench, and gazed absently at the bright, round hole in the ceiling.

Although we are currently in the heart of the Shuiyue Palace sect, we still need to take necessary precautions. We will need to figure out how to set up the magic array and spirit detection talismans in a while.

However, if the Wind Whispering Illusion Array is set up outside the cave, then a major means of fighting the enemy is lost.

We still don't have enough magic arrays right now, so we need to find a way to get some new ones, or try making our own array plates. Anyway, there's a Fire Chamber on Flying Cloud Island, so as long as we have the materials, we can give it a try.

The most important thing right now is to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Despite how much these elders care about him now, if he gets stuck at a bottleneck and fails to break through, he will eventually be neglected and become a marginal figure in the sect.

Only by advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage can one be considered to have entered the inner sanctum of the cultivation path. Moreover, the "Nine Nether Profound Gold True Explanation" mentioned by Yingxi Zhenren can only be cultivated after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, and Yao Han is quite interested in this cultivation method.

When it comes to breakthroughs, a crucial question looms before him.

That's his current cultivation level.

According to conventional theory, one should reach the pinnacle of Qi Refining at the ninth level, but his current magical power is indeed much higher than the ninth level.

This question has been puzzling Yao Han for a long time. He has to make a decision: whether to try to break through directly or to continue cultivating along the previous path.

If you continue to cultivate in this way and it helps you break through your cultivation level, that's fine. But if you make a mistake and it hinders your cultivation, then it will be too late to regret it.

When Lin Caichi took him to Yueyu Island before, he carefully memorized the location of the Sutra Repository, planning to go there to check it out later.

No, why go through all that trouble?

Now that he has a master, if all else fails, he can just go and ask him directly!

Master Yingxi is, after all, a cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation. He has been at the Core Formation stage for much longer than in his previous life. What he considers a problem might just be a minor issue for him, which he could easily resolve with a little effort.

Yao Han did not expect that, "Speak of Your Excellency, and Your Excellency will arrive." While he was still considering his future plans, he suddenly sensed an undisguised fluctuation of magical power coming from outside the cave.

The pool beside him trembled slightly, rippling in layers. Xiao Yuan popped his head out of the pool, glanced at it, and then withdrew.

Yao Han jumped off the chair with a start, straightened his Taoist robe, and flew towards the door.

He landed at the doorway and looked closely. Standing in the open space outside the mansion was none other than Yingxi Zhenren Su Yao, who had returned from Yueyu Island. She had just put away her escape technique, and the spiritual light around her had not yet dissipated.

Beside Su Yao stood an old man dressed as a Taoist priest, with a whisk on his back, a gourd at his waist, a three-inch white beard on his chin, a thin figure, but bright and piercing eyes, who was smilingly looking at Yao Han.

The old man showed no magical power and seemed like an ordinary person. He habitually used his divine sense to probe the old man, but felt as if his divine sense was sinking into a bottomless cold pool, as if he was about to be dragged in.

Yao Han's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed to Su Yao:

"Disciple greets Master. May I ask who this person is...?"

"This is your grandmaster, the Supreme Elder of the sect, Venerable Jinli."

really.

Yao Han did not dare to raise her head, and bowed deeply to Jin Li:

"Disciple pays respects to Grandmaster. Master and Grandmaster, your presence is an honor. My cultivation is still shallow and I failed to notice in time. I am sorry for not welcoming you properly. Please forgive me. If you do not mind, please come into my humble abode and have a seat. I will prepare some tea to express my respect."
