Xuanjian: Jade True Sword Immortal, my Dao Wisdom keeps increasing.

The next morning.

They spent the entire night exchanging sword techniques before emerging from their cave to bid farewell to the rising sun.

Wang Xun calmly said:

"I am bound by fate and cannot pay my respects to you, fellow Daoist. Please forgive me. I wish you success in your supernatural powers. Farewell."

Jiang Heqian bowed respectfully and said:

"Thank you, senior. I also wish you a speedy attainment of the supernatural power [Nourish the Azure Sky]."

Little Wang the Sword Immortal is destined for greatness and possesses exceptional talent. He also cultivates ancient methods like the Dao of Breath Control and Self-Cultivation. For him, mastering supernatural powers is a certainty. As for whether he can obtain the Golden Rank of the Sword Dao [Chang Geng] in the future, that depends on Wang Xun's fate.

The two said goodbye to each other.

Wang Xun turned around and soared into the air. In just a few breaths, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Having connections is really advantageous, Jiang Heqian thought, watching Wang Xun walk away with a heart full of envy.

Jiang Heqian stood there for a long time before he came to his senses, shook his head, smiled bitterly, and turned back to his cave.

......

A day has passed in the time it takes to read through "The Art of White Jade".

On this day, a pale purple beam of light landed on the summit of Jade Peak.

Kan Ziyu's figure was revealed.

She placed two fingers in front of her lips and amplified her voice with magic:

"Kan Ziyu has come to set up the formation as agreed. Fellow Daoist Jiang, please show yourself quickly."

Jiang Heqian, who was meditating on the cultivation technique in his cave, was overjoyed upon hearing this. He flashed around a few times and appeared outside the cave, calling out happily:

"Fairy Kan, you've worked hard. Please come into the cave for a chat."

A moment later, the two sat down at the stone table in the cave and drank spiritual tea while having a long talk.

Jiang Heqian said:

"Fairy Kan, I have only two small requests for this formation: first, that it can withstand the attacks of Foundation Establishment cultivators for a short time; and second, that it can gather spiritual energy to assist my cultivation."

Setting down the spirit tea in her hand, Kan Ziyu calmly said:

"No problem, the formation I set up will definitely meet Fellow Daoist Jiang's requirements."

After the two continued to discuss some details, Kan Ziyu left the cave and began to set up the formation.

Her figure floated in mid-air, her hands rapidly forming hand seals, and the array plate in front of her emitted a dazzling magical light.

Then, a row of bluish-white array flags emerged from the array plate and were positioned in the air in a very regular manner.

Under Kan Ziyu's focused control, the array flags rained down on the area around Jiang Heqian's cave, and then, with a flash of light, they disappeared into the ground.

Jiang Heqian, who knew nothing about formations, was now floating in mid-air on the wind, watching Kan Ziyu set up the formation with great interest, and sighing inwardly.

"This array formation is truly a delicate art. It requires controlling so many array flags simultaneously and calculating their landing points; the sheer scale of the formation is quite impressive."

After an unknown amount of time, Kan Ziyu shouted loudly at Jiang Heqian:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please take out that [Shangming Xuanyu], I want to embed it into the array plate as the core of the array."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heqian quickly took out the [Shangming Xuanyu] from his storage bag.

Kan Ziyu raised her hand and pulled him in front of her, her hand gestures changing rapidly, her expression solemn.

Within a few breaths, the array of magical light flickered and instantly absorbed the Shangming Xuanyu beside it.

With a click, the patterns on the array plate seemed to come alive and began to circulate.

Upon seeing this, Kan Ziyu's tense expression finally relaxed, and she said in a light tone:

"Mission accomplished, the formation is now established. Fellow Daoist Jiang, would you like to test its power?"

As the core of the formation was completed, a bluish-white semi-circular light shield appeared above Jiang Heqian's cave.

With an excited expression, Jiang Heqian nodded vigorously, then flipped his wrist, and the Mingyu Sword unleashed several milky-white sword energies that struck the formation.

Several muffled sounds were heard, and the great formation flashed a few times before returning to normal.

Jiang Heqian estimated that this formation could withstand a fierce attack from a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator for a quarter of an hour, but if a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator went all out, the formation probably wouldn't last long.

It's just barely enough.

Seeing that Jiang Heqian's casual sword energy was equivalent to a full-force attack from an early Foundation Establishment cultivator, Kan Ziyu was shocked and exclaimed in praise:

"I never expected Fellow Daoist Jiang to have such profound swordsmanship. This has truly broadened my horizons."

Jiang Heqian waved his hand, said modestly a few times, and directly expressed that he wanted to try out the auxiliary function of the formation.

The two landed on the wind, and Jiang Heqian couldn't wait to slip into the cave and sit cross-legged to cultivate.

After trying it out, his speed of absorbing spiritual energy was 30% faster than before he set up the formation.

He was quite satisfied with the effectiveness of this formation in aiding his cultivation.

Seeing Jiang Heqian's smiling face, Kan Ziyu said in a calm tone:

"Now that Fellow Daoist Jiang has tested the formation, why don't you take the formation plate and let it be bound to you? All you need to do is..."

"There is one last thing. Fellow Daoist Jiang, please give the formation a name. Once the formation is established, the matter will be completely completed."

Following Kan Ziyu's instructions, Jiang Heqian refined the array plate, pondered for a moment, and sighed:

"I'm not good at naming things, so let's call the formation the 'Three Elements Returning to Spirit Formation,' which means three spiritual creatures to assist in cultivation."

Kan Ziyu remained noncommittal upon hearing this, offering no opinion whatsoever, implying that it was her formation and she was in charge.

The two then discussed the details of the formation.

Half an hour later, a faint purple light flashed above Jade Peak, and Kan Ziyu rode the wind back to Purple Smoke Sect.

......

The Li family of Wangyue Lake.

Li Xuanxuan went to Xuanyue Sect and took Kong Yu back to Wangyue Lake, preparing to move a mountain to the newly acquired Snake-Dragon Cave to solidify the foundation of the land.

He led Kong Yu to a cave on the lake and asked softly:

"Fellow Daoist Kong, take a look. Would it be feasible to move a mountain to fill this space?"

Kong Yu carefully observed the surrounding terrain, made a hand seal, and after a few breaths, landed on the lake shore to explore the earth's veins.

A moment later, Kong Yu finished his investigation and looked at Li Xuanxuan with a smile:

"The Li family probably moved here because they wanted to cultivate in an underground cave."

Seeing that Kong Yu had seen through his intentions, Li Xuanxuan showed no embarrassment and said:

"Fellow Daoist Kong's magic is truly remarkable; you were able to discover this. There is indeed a cave dwelling rich in spiritual energy underground, which my family acquired with great difficulty."

Kong Yu, with an expression that said it all along, stroked his beard and continued:

"Wangyue Lake has abundant water veins but shallow earth veins. The mountain to be moved must not have fire veins, otherwise it will affect the spiritual energy in the underground cave. After the mountain is moved here, it is also not suitable for alchemy or weapon crafting, otherwise, after a hundred years, this mountain will inevitably turn into a pile of sand and gravel..."

Li Xuanxuan listened attentively from the side, occasionally chiming in agreement.

The Xuan Yue Sect primarily cultivates the Earth Virtue Dao, so they are naturally very clear about these matters concerning the movement of earth veins and mountains.

After speaking for a while, Kong Yu paused, looked at Li Xuanxuan, and said:

"If you want to move the mountain here, the Li family needs to provide twelve Qi Refining cultivators to assist me, and it will cost at least fifty spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanxuan readily replied:

"Spirit stones are not a problem; the Li family will do everything in its power to cooperate with you in moving the mountain."

Li Xijun hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent, following quietly behind the two.

The three of them then rode the wind around Wangyue Lake, looked at all the mountains, big and small, in the vicinity, and finally decided to move the Rui family's mountain.
