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

Chen Qingmo took the talisman and then took out several Flame Crystal Flowers.

"Senior Li, these are spiritual plants growing around the Turtles. They should like them quite a bit."

Each of the turtles carrying the elixir beside the Lake of Burning Flames in the Earth's Core guards a spiritual plant.

Upon closer reflection, it must be related to their habits.

"Excellent, young friend, you've put in a lot of effort."

"With this, I can save some spirit stones."

Li Suiyun chuckled a few times, speaking lightly.

He doesn't lack spirit stones; after all, at his age, he no longer has much desire for higher cultivation levels.

Li Suiyun was very satisfied that Chen Qingmo was willing to offer the spiritual plants.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Chen Qingmo bowed and took his leave.

He was preparing to go into seclusion to attempt a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm.

There are cave dwellings in Hengdong City specifically for cultivators to use in seclusion, and it is said that they are very effective.

Chen Qingmo paid two hundred spirit stones to rent it for a year.

This breakthrough cannot be achieved overnight; we must make thorough preparations before attempting it.

The cultivation of the Spirit Tempering Secret Technique is nearing completion, and the Three Elements Illuminating Divine Skill can also be put on the agenda.

This period of seclusion lasted for six months.

Inside the cave, Chen Qingmo sat cross-legged on a futon, his face calm.

Several kinds of pills and some auxiliary talismans were placed beside him.

Directly in front is a bronze incense burner, inside which a stick of sandalwood incense is burning, with wisps of smoke drifting upwards.

This incense stick was bought by Chen Qingmo for calming the mind; each stick is worth more than twenty spirit stones.

Having prepared for so long, his physical condition has reached its peak.

As Chen Qingmo put the Marrow Cleansing Pill into his mouth, he began to feel the changes within his body.

He formed hand seals with his ten fingers and activated the Green Mountain Sword Technique.

Chen Qingmo's physical tempering was already close to completion, and with the help of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he completed the physical tempering in just a few days.

He took the opportunity to swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill, and a torrent of medicinal power flowed straight into his dantian.

The previously calm dantian and dantian were instantly engulfed in turbulent waves.

The immense medicinal power gradually compressed the spiritual energy within Chen Qingmo's body along with the vortex of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy of the cave's array formation frantically gathered around him.

Chen Qingmo focused his mind, wanting to completely condense that drop of true essence that was about to form.

The spiritual energy flowing into the body was continuously liquefied, but the true essence could not be compressed into a solid form for a long time.

Chen Qingmo did not break through to the Foundation Establishment stage until the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill was exhausted.

"We only have two Foundation Establishment Pills left. If we can't succeed now, who knows when it will be..."

He readjusted his condition and took the Foundation Building Pill again.

After several hours, Chen Qingmo finally condensed his first drop of true essence in his dantian.

With the blessing of this drop of true essence, more spiritual power was condensed, compressed, and assimilated.

About an incense stick later, Chen Qingmo's spiritual power had been completely transformed into true essence magic power.

Foundation successfully established!

Chen Qingmo felt that the magical power within his body was five times that of when he reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

This is still the effect of just entering the Foundation Establishment stage; the mana within the body is not yet stable.

Chen Qingmo continued his seclusion to consolidate his cultivation.

Three months later, he opened his eyes.

Chen Qingmo has now become a true Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If he were to face a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining again, he could easily defeat them.

Moreover, during this period, he successfully mastered the Three Elements Illumination Divine Skill, and his divine sense was several times stronger than that of a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Coupled with the formidable power of the Green Mountain Sword Technique, Chen Qingmo's confidence grew even stronger.

He got up and left, abandoning the cave dwelling.

To his delight, the brokerage firm returned some of the spirit stones after he terminated his lease.

"No wonder this industry is so popular in Hengdong City."

Chen Qingmo chuckled softly and left the place.

He took out the talisman given to him by Li Suiyun and transmitted it telepathically.

Soon after, the talisman gave instructions, pointing in the direction of Li Suiyun's new residence.

Chen Qingmo rushed over immediately and, upon seeing the two familiar guards, confirmed their location.

This time, the guards didn't go to report it again, because Li Suiyun had already informed them.

Chen Qingmo entered the mansion and found that the layout of the courtyard was similar to the original.

But from deeper within, a scorching heat emanated continuously.

The spirit beasts and monsters in the animal park are all far away from there.

Chen Qingmo released his divine sense to investigate and discovered several baby turtles carrying water chestnuts.

They had grown a little bigger and were comfortably resting on the fire elemental ore.

That's right, Li Suiyun bought hundreds of fire elemental ore for these baby turtles.

This is solely to provide them with the most suitable growing environment.

"Wow, young friend Chen, you've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Li Suiyun appeared beside Chen Qingmo without warning and suddenly spoke.

He was shocked; less than a year had passed.

"Should I address you as Fellow Daoist Chen now?"

Li Suiyun stroked his beard and joked.

"Senior Li, please don't flatter me. You and my master are good friends, how could I dare to overstep my bounds?"

Chen Qingmo waved his hands repeatedly.

"I have come here to bid farewell to Senior Li."

"Now that I have broken through to a higher realm, it is time for me to return home."

Chen Qingmo was preparing to return to Tai Xuan Mountain and came here specifically to say goodbye to Li Suiyun.

"Alright, you can come visit me when you have time, and bring your master with you."

Li Suiyun nodded slightly.

Master Tiejian had already obtained the Beast King's essence blood for him, so he had no interest in it.

He still has decades to live, and he usually thinks about having a good drink and playing chess with a few close friends.

However, Master Tiejian was not interested in this. Although he would come to see him from time to time, it was only for casual conversation.

Some of his other friends were not in the State of Qi.

That's why he devoted himself to this beast taming.

"Senior Li, definitely! That kid's gone."

Chen Qingmo chuckled softly and didn't linger any longer.

After leaving Hengdong City, he passed through the mountains where he had met the True Man Tingyun.

As luck would have it, Master Tingyun was right here.

The other party's face turned sinister the moment they saw him.

"Kid, it's been over a year, I've finally caught you. Give me back my Foundation Establishment Pill."

Master Tingyun's attack was a killing blow.

With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Qingmo instantly dissipated the attack that was enough to endanger the life of someone at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

"How is that possible?"

Master Tingyun looked terrified.

Then Chen Qingmo's aura surged, his face calm: "Master Tingyun, it's still uncertain who will catch whom."

"Foundation Establishment Realm!"

"Senior, could you spare my life, considering the Foundation Establishment Pill helped you break through?"

Before Master Tingyun could finish speaking, he immediately used his escape technique to flee.

He was still at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, so he was definitely no match for Chen Qingmo.

However, what puzzled him was how Chen Qingmo could have broken through so quickly?

According to his observation, this person's abilities were even inferior to the other two who had escaped.

However, he had no time to investigate further at the moment, as a sword aura was already approaching from behind.

He struggled to withstand it, but his body was trembling violently.

Chen Qingmo's move was also a killing blow; Tingyun Zhenren could not be allowed to live.

If he hadn't been vigilant back then, he probably would have died long ago in Shuangyang Ridge.

Therefore, he employed a variety of methods, each one potentially fatal.

Master Tingyun was filled with fear; if he were to die this time, there would be no way to save him.

Possession can only be performed once. Forcibly attempting possession a second time will only result in the soul being scattered and never being reincarnated.

"Senior, spare me! I offer you all my treasures!"

Master Tingyun shouted.

Chen Qingmo remained unmoved, determined to kill him.

Despite Tingyun Zhenren's best efforts to escape, he had nowhere to hide under Chen Qingmo's divine sense.

Half an hour later, Chen Qingmo put away the Xuanqiu Sword and looked at the corpse on the ground.

The Cloud-Listening Immortal is dead, and the matter of Shuangyang Ridge is over.

He weighed the storage bag in his hand, then cast a fireball spell to incinerate the corpse.

Chen Qingmo embarked on his journey home again, finally returning to Linyuan County several days later.

But as he approached Mount Taixuan, he was stopped by a shout.

"Who are you, and what brings you to my Tai Xuan Chen Clan?"

Chen Ming was cultivating in the mountains when he suddenly sensed the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This aura doesn't belong to Master Tiejian; it's somewhat unfamiliar.

He immediately shouted at the other party to stop.

"Clan leader, it's me, Qingmo!"

Chen Qingmo responded.

"Qingmo, you've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"
