"Planting the seeds of evil, nurturing the seeds of disaster..."

Although the new method is different from the path I cultivate, the path of cultivating immortality is all-encompassing and interconnected, so there must be some connection between them.

Han Jieliu still listened to Xiling Sanren's words and pondered them carefully.

"It seems to be related to the Foundation Establishment stage, a method to help cultivators forge an immortal foundation..."

After all, when he left the sect, he was only at the second level of Qi Refining, so he naturally did not consider the matter of Foundation Establishment later.

There was no detailed information related to this matter in the library of outer disciples at Xiaowei Mountain.

After all, the secrets of cultivating immortality at this level are all passed down from master to disciple or passed down in secret within a family; there is no reason to casually impart them.

At that time, my spiritual aperture was shattered, and the path I cultivated was changed to the path of cultivating qi and nourishing nature.

Although he vaguely understood that this action required combining one's physical path and formulating one's own foundation, he was still quite confused about the specific steps involved, so he thought to himself.

"I have now reached the middle stage of cultivation. I cultivate quickly and have no shortage of spiritual energy. At this rate, I am afraid I will be able to enter the late stage before I am forty."

"This progress is considered fast even in Xiaowei Mountain. After returning this time, I can start to understand and prepare for Foundation Establishment."

"Although Xiaowei Mountain follows the ancient methods, that was a thousand years ago. Now, both new and ancient methods exist. For example, the book I first practiced, 'Yu Jing San Chuan Jue,' is a fourth-grade new method."

"The methods of cultivating one's inner self and those passed down in my family are not very old. As for the ancient methods of cultivating one's inner self and nourishing one's spirit, I'm afraid we still have to go to Xiaowei Mountain to seek them."

Thinking of this, Han Jieliu turned his gaze back to what was in front of him.

The situation is still unclear, and it's uncertain whether I'll be able to go back.

In the distance, the insects devoured Hezhu Mountain quickly, finishing it off in no time, and then hopped around on the ground searching for other living creatures.

Seeing that there was nothing else around, and that the stone platform below was extremely hard and could not be gnawed on.

They intertwined and formed a strange, twisted object resembling a rotting worm's placenta.

In order to escape with his life, Xu Yiyi had no choice but to reveal his trump card and act in this way.

This "troublesome child" born to her husband was born prematurely, and years of planning suddenly fell apart.

She harbored resentment and, upon hearing Xiling Sanren's words, could only say with hatred.

"Old Daoist Xiling, how many cultivators are unaware of your years of shady dealings in Donglu Market?"

"He stole from his master and fled to Linjiang County... Such a grand and imposing manner makes people think he is some immortal Taoist who lives on dew and listens to the wind."

Seeing that Xu Yiyi had revealed his secrets, Xiling Sanren was not in a hurry or angry. He just looked at the wriggling worm fetus and shook his head.

"One is the calamity of 'moral transgression' for killing one's husband and betraying one's principles, and the other is the calamity of 'breeding poison' for prolonging decay within the body. It's just a pity that one infamy is missing."

"If it is nurtured to maturity, and with the calamity of the Great Usurper born from the Dao Devourer, the three Daos will be united, and it may be able to have a power comparable to the mid-stage."

Xu Yiyi sneered and commanded the insect embryo to pounce on the Western Ridge Hermit.

Then, three more silver needles were secretly fired, two of which drilled into the array at the cave entrance, seeking out the weakest point.

Another path, hidden shallowly among the insect swarm, awaited an opportunity to strike Xiling Sanren with a venomous intent.

"Old Taoist of Xiling, it's not too late for you to experience this scourge before you speak."

"Today you have severed my path to enlightenment. Even if I die, I will defile your self-righteous cicada body and ensure that you can never attain the foundation of the Dao again."

This worm embryo is born from decay and can easily defile a person's body, which is exactly contrary to the path of "Lieyu" (a Taoist practice) that aims to preserve one's purity of body and nature.

Xiling Sanren didn't say anything, but his previously indifferent expression became more serious.

He unleashed several talismans and used his whisk to parry left and right, slowly wearing down the insect embryo's strength.

·······

Meanwhile, Han Jieliu saw Xiling Sanren fighting fiercely with Xu Yiyi and Chongtai.

Seeing this situation, he began to have some thoughts and secretly pondered.

"At first, I was wondering if this arrangement was orchestrated by some adults, or if they were planning something, and that we had just barged in."

"But judging from how intense the fight is now, it hasn't caused any disturbance... and there are no traces left. Perhaps it really is some hidden cave."

Although there was no demon corpse in this cave, there was a faint demonic aura, a trace of aquatic demons that had once existed, indicating that it was indeed an abandoned demon's abode.

Han Jieliu had lived in Mengtan Mountain for many years, where he had seen many demons and had also cultivated the [He Shui] technique.

The term "He Shui" refers to the convergence of various waters, where they gather together and each takes in its own essence, thus influencing all others.

Having just patrolled the entire cave using the Zhushuihefu Flag, he naturally noticed it.

"However, the origin of this cave is no longer important. I am no match for this Hermit of Xiling. I need to find a way to escape quickly, lest Xu Yiyi be defeated and leave me in a dilemma."

Although the treasures on the stone platform were very valuable and tempting, his life was more important, and it would be best to take some with him when he escaped...

Han Jieliu saw that Xu Yiyi was unable to break through the formation at the cave entrance for a long time, and realized that Xiling Sanren was quite skilled in formations.

Even if it was a hastily set-up formation, it must have used array flags, making it difficult to break through using ordinary methods.

"I remember that Li Mingjin had a jade cone on him... which is a magic weapon specifically used to break formations. Perhaps we can borrow it."

The fact that he was not bound by the oath of the Daoist swearing-in was a unique trait unknown to anyone, which gave him an advantage.

Han Jieliu thought of the culprit behind this raid on the mansion, so he turned his head and looked at the stone platform where Li Mingjin was.

When Li Mingjin met Han Jieliu's gaze, she showed no sign of panic, but instead smiled slightly.

After all, Han Jieliu, himself, and Xu Yiyi had signed the Dao Jie Dao Entrustment Oath in full view of each other, agreeing not to attack or coerce each other.

Although Han Jieliu's display of Qi Refining cultivation was unexpected, he was now confident and fearless, and instead took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Fellow Daoist Han..."

Before Li Mingjin could finish speaking, Han Jieliu walked towards her.

Li Mingjin assumed that he wanted to take the treasure on the stage as a means of blackmail.

So he patted the storage bag, preparing to put the items in beforehand, thus thwarting Han Jieliu's idea.

This place is located beneath a large lake, where the water is turbulent and its speed far surpasses that of riding the wind.

Han Jieliu did not ride the wind, but instead used water to approach, and saw the objects on the platform.

Although there were two auras, there were three items on the stone platform.

Besides the two treasures, there was also a sealed note, which went unnoticed because the stone platform was too high and it was an ordinary object.

Li Mingjin put the small seal from the two treasures into his storage bag.

Just as he was about to put away the white bottle containing the unknown spiritual liquid, he saw the white bottle touch the storage bag the moment it did.

As if it had suffered some kind of humiliation, it suddenly gained sentience and immediately broke free and flew away.

The small white bottle was wide open, and an aura that could almost be described as Daoist was revealed from it, even stirring up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The commotion caused Xiling Sanren, who was fighting with the insect embryo, to turn around and look, his face showing surprise.

"This aura..."

When Han Jieliu got closest and saw what was inside the white bottle, he broke out in a cold sweat and was terrified.

Suddenly, only one terrible thought remained in my mind.

It's a hook! Run! Get out of this cave quickly!

Others might not be able to tell, but Han Jieliu knew exactly where this thing came from.

When his spiritual aperture shattered, he consulted many ancient texts and learned that, apart from the intervention of a Purple Mansion, only a spiritual object of the Purple Mansion level could restore his spiritual aperture.

The white bottle before them was not some Foundation Establishment treasure, but rather something at the Purple Mansion level.

It is called "Tianyi Lingkan Dew Liquid".
