A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

Chen Qingmo's hands trembled slightly, his heart pounding with excitement, making it difficult for him to calm down.

He got up and paced back and forth, wishing he could leave immediately and search for that cave.

"No! I can't let joy cloud my judgment!"

Chen Qingmo took out the Tranquility Bead and activated several Tranquility Talismans to calm himself down.

He slowly exhaled and sat down again.

Foundation Establishment Pills are of great importance, especially since they are found in the caves of cultivators in the wilderness.

If he runs into someone else, how should he handle it?

Since the divination result is very auspicious, there is no need to rush things; proceed step by step.

With this thought in mind, Chen Qingmo continued his cultivation.

The following day, he set off from the lakeside.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In the years since Tingyun Zhenren possessed the body, he has been seeking opportunities to improve his cultivation.

On his journey from Leizhou to Lanshui Prefecture, he fought countless battles, risking his life against many people.

Moreover, the person who possessed the body was of very poor aptitude, and his progress was extremely slow.

If he could possess another body, he would have discarded this physical form long ago.

Now that he has finally reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, he has lost a small part of his memories due to the hidden danger of possession.

This part of his memory is related to the place where he hid his treasure before his death.

Master Tingyun was somewhat annoyed. He had once hidden several Foundation Establishment Pills in Lanshui Prefecture, hoping that they could help him return to the Foundation Establishment cultivation level one day.

If someone were to enter these mountains now, he would only be able to sense them immediately if someone triggered the formation he left behind; otherwise, he would have to search little by little.

"It's been less than twenty years, so there probably aren't many people coming here to search for treasure."

"I deliberately hid the cave back then to prevent others from finding it."

"Now, due to memory loss, I can't remember clearly myself, I only vaguely remember that it was in this location."

Master Tingyun's eyes were sinister, revealing a fierce glint.

He now actually hopes that someone can trigger the formation.

With his array formations, few Qi Refining cultivators could defeat him.

Moreover, he possesses the combat experience of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and can easily kill Qi Refining cultivators.

While listening to Master Yun's thoughts, he didn't stop walking and continued searching through the mountains.

About an hour later.

"Huh? There really is someone?"

Master Tingyun stared in one direction, a smile appearing on his lips.

Although it was quite far away, it was a place that ordinary people couldn't break through, so he was able to catch up.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Chen Qingmo searched for nearly half a day before suddenly entering a maze.

He remembered this formation; it was a third-grade formation from the "Listening to the Clouds Formation Explanation."

"Why is there an array left behind by Master Tingyun here? Could it be...?"

Chen Qingmo guessed that he had entered another cave dwelling left behind by Master Tingyun.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator is already prepared for the possession of another body, how could they not have other backup plans?

Although he had never set up this maze before, he had thoroughly mastered the method of setting up the formation and was confident in breaking it.

About an incense stick later, the maze disappeared, and Chen Qingmo glimpsed the entrance to the cave.

He stepped inside and indeed found some bottles and jars.

Three of the porcelain bottles contained eight Foundation Building Pills, with their medicinal power largely intact and of superior quality.

"Eight! The owner of this cave is truly generous."

He packed up his things, didn't dare linger, and quickly left.

Just as Chen Qingmo stepped out, he saw a figure rushing towards him.

"Someone's coming!"

He knew something was wrong and immediately activated the Xunfeng Talisman to escape.

Master Tingyun thought the formation would hold until he arrived, but the formation's fluctuations disappeared after he had only gone halfway.

He knew that someone must have broken the formation, so he dared not conserve his spiritual energy any longer.

When he activated his flying artifact with all his might to arrive, Chen Qingmo, who had just emerged, immediately vanished from his sight.

"This person looks somewhat like one of the three who left Shuangyang Ridge back then. What a small world!"

Master Tingyun spoke angrily, as the three men had taken away the treasures from his Shuangyangling cave, especially the Tingyun Formation, which was of utmost importance and represented his life's work.

"Since this person can break the formation, there is a high probability that the solution to the Listening Cloud Formation lies with him."

Among the treasures Chen Qingmo took was a mark left by True Man Tingyun. Although it was extremely faint, he could still sense it.

Master Tingyun took the pill to restore his spiritual power and gave chase.

……

Chen Qingmo was somewhat relieved, as he sensed that the other party was also at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

If he is stopped, he will surely be in a tough fight.

He has now fled ten miles away, but he still dares not relax.

Chen Qingmo took out the flying shuttle and continued his escape.

The Xunfeng Talisman teleported him deeper into the mountains. If he rashly returned to the direction of the town now, he might run into the cultivator who was suspected to be True Man Tingyun.

He fled into the mountains for four hundred miles before stopping to rest.

Chen Qingmo patted the storage bag and smiled.

With eight Foundation Establishment Pills and other auxiliary pills, he will have enough time to attempt several breakthroughs within two or three years.

The most important thing right now is to find a safe place to go into seclusion. It would be worth it even if it meant staying in the Three Yuan Forbidden Land for several months before it opened.

With this in mind, Chen Qingmo began searching for a suitable place.

This delay allowed Master Tingyun to attack two quarters of an hour later.

"Boy, give me back my Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Before the person arrived, the sound and the magic preceded them.

Master Tingyun attacked with all his might, catching Chen Qingmo off guard and injuring him.

Fortunately, his body was still quite defensive after being reinforced by the tortoise shell, and the attack did not damage his internal organs.

Immediately afterwards, several second-grade formations from the Listening Cloud Formation descended, and Chen Qingmo was completely certain that this person was the Listening Cloud True Man after he had possessed his body.

He retreated repeatedly, using talismans to counter the attack.

Seeing the opponent's fierce attack, he activated the Xunfeng Talisman again.

Ten miles away, Chen Qingmo took the medicine and fled while recovering from his injuries.

His physical body was injured, and his strength was reduced, so he could not fight against Master Tingyun head-on.

The other party was once a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so they must have unexpected methods.

"How was he able to track me? Did he have some kind of tracking device?"

Chen Qingmo frowned as he examined the pills he had obtained from the storage bag.

A moment later, his face darkened.

One of the porcelain bottles containing three Foundation Establishment Pills was indeed unusual, with several special patterns on it, including a mark left by Master Tingyun.

Even the Foundation Building Pills within were tainted with his aura, which could only be removed by consuming them immediately.

Chen Qingmo's expression was complex, as if he found it difficult to make a decision.

If he discards this bottle of pills, he may be unable to establish his foundation.

If he leaves this bottle of pills behind, he will be constantly hunted down by Master Tingyun.

He hardened his heart; if he couldn't have her, he wouldn't leave her with him either.

Chen Qingmo used his spiritual power to destroy the pill, and threw it away along with the porcelain bottle.

This scene was witnessed by Master Tingyun, who had been chasing after them, and a furious shout rang out.

"Boy, how dare you ruin my elixir! You're asking for death!"

Having said that, he activated his magic and attacked Chen Qingmo again.

Chen Qingmo activated the Xunfeng Talisman twice in a short period of time, and coupled with the long journey, his spiritual energy was greatly depleted.

He raised his Xuanqiu Sword and unleashed several sword strikes to neutralize the attack before continuing his escape.

The distance between the two had closed, and Chen Qingmo would be unable to use the Xunfeng Talisman for a short time, while Tingyun Zhenren was in hot pursuit.

Several hours later, Chen Qingmo had traveled more than a thousand miles, venturing deep into the heart of the mountains.

He stopped using his magical artifacts and instead began to move swiftly and agilely through the mountains and forests.

At first, Master Tingyun could still find Chen Qingmo's figure, but as the terrain became more complicated, he gradually lost track of him.

"Let's see how long you can hide!"

Master Tingyun roared, startling the birds and beasts in the forest.

Chen Qingmo hid in a cave under a cliff, using the only concealment talisman he had to suppress his aura as much as possible.

He had been pushing the shuttle with all his might, and now his spiritual energy was almost depleted.

If Master Tingyun finds him, he will likely face certain death.
