Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

The Golden Elixir Sect, the Azure Yang Sect.

The twenty-year period has expired.

The Mysterious Yang Realm is about to close.

Foundation Establishment cultivators who entered in search of opportunities and treasures, if still alive, were successively teleported out by a mysterious force.

Nearly 40% of the Foundation Establishment cultivators perished during this journey to the secret realm.

To survive and leave the secret realm, both luck and strength are indispensable.

After the secret realm was completely closed and no one was teleported out anymore, two Core Formation elders from the Qingyang Sect appeared.

They began to examine the items obtained by these Foundation Establishment cultivators from their secret realms one by one.

The entire secret realm belongs to the Qingyang Sect.

According to the rules, Foundation Establishment cultivators must hand over 40% of the treasures they bring out from the secret realm to the Qingyang Sect.

If you do not comply, your life will be in danger.

As a result, the Foundation Establishment cultivators who survived the secret realm reluctantly handed over 40% of their treasures.

They can take the remaining 60% with them.

You can also make trades with the Qingyang Sect to get what you want.

Most Foundation Establishment cultivators either took it directly or exchanged it for items urgently needed for cultivation.

The only exceptions are some Foundation Establishment ancestors from certain cultivation families.

They asked for nothing more than to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Foundation Building Pill is different from other pills.

If this elixir were to appear at an auction, the competition would be fierce, and the transaction price would far exceed its intrinsic value.

Therefore, if you want to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the remaining 60% of your treasures may not be enough.

You'll have to pay extra out of your own pocket.

Unless this person is lucky enough to bring out a precious elixir.

……

A month later.

Above Qixia Lake.

The once calm clouds were broken by three rays of light.

Everyone looked up and saw three figures emerge from the clouds.

The three were none other than the Foundation Establishment Ancestors of the Jiang, Chen, and Song families.

They returned from the Mysterious Yang Realm.

After exchanging a few words in the air above Qixia Lake, they disappeared into their respective families.

"Ancestor, it's Ancestor who's back!" a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator from the Chen family exclaimed.

"That's Jiang Shun, the Foundation Establishment ancestor of the Jiang family! He's lost an arm!"

"The Foundation Establishment Ancestors of the Chen and Song families both looked listless, as if they had also suffered serious injuries."

"The secret realm is fraught with danger; it's already quite an achievement to have returned alive."

"It seems that the three patriarchs setting aside their grudges and joining forces to explore the secret realm was truly a wise move!"

Many cultivators looked up at the sky and immediately noticed the return of the three Foundation Establishment ancestors. They couldn't help but gather together and talk animatedly.

Jiang Yun naturally witnessed the return of the three Foundation Establishment Ancestors.

He was somewhat taken aback.

Jiang Shun, the Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Jiang Family, had one of his arms severed.

The two Foundation Establishment ancestors from the Chen and Song families also appear to be in poor condition, undoubtedly suffering serious injuries.

"The secret realm is indeed dangerous; even a Foundation Establishment cultivator is in such a sorry state."

Jiang Yun sighed inwardly.

In fact, the secret realm is extremely dangerous.

Those who enter must not only be careful of the ancient restrictions, but also be wary of other cultivators.

It's common for people to turn against each other and fight to the death over a treasure or a medicinal herb.

This time, the three families of Song, Chen, and Jiang are the foundation-building ancestors.

If they had not joined forces, worked together, and avoided internal strife and scheming...

They probably wouldn't be able to leave the Xuan Yang Secret Realm alive.

But even so.

Jiang Shun, the foundation-building ancestor of the Jiang family, also lost an arm and nearly lost his life.

Although the Chen family's Foundation Establishment Ancestor appeared to be in good health, his spiritual consciousness was actually damaged. Without spiritual medicine to nourish his spiritual consciousness, he would find it difficult to recover to his peak condition.

The Song family's Foundation Establishment ancestor suffered damage to his meridians, resulting in a significant drop in his cultivation level, making it difficult for him to recover to his peak cultivation level.

After the three Foundation Establishment patriarchs returned to their respective families, they began their seclusion.

Qixia Lake has calmed down again.

Five months later.

It seems that all three Foundation Establishment elders have emerged from seclusion and stabilized their injuries.

After they passed through customs, they announced an important message.

The three major cultivation families of Song, Chen, and Jiang will cooperate once again.

Three months later, a market town was built in the middle of Qixia Lake.

Upon hearing this news, all the cultivators at Qixia Lake were overjoyed and began to talk about it with great interest.

"Great news! Qixia Lake will finally have its own market!"

"Isn't the center of Qixia Lake entirely water? How can a market town be built there?"

"Reclaiming lakes and creating islands? Do you even need to ask? How did you even reach the fourth level of Qi Refining?"

"Haha, once the market is built, with my late-stage Qi Refining cultivation, I'm sure I'll be able to land a good job!"

After the news of the construction of the market spread.

The disciples of the three major cultivation families all became quite cunning.

Especially the elders of various families.

Those in high positions have already begun to plot how to maximize their profits.

the other side.

Jiang Yun, on the other hand, remained indifferent, ignoring the fact that it didn't concern him.

When the market was first established, it involved enormous interests.

He didn't want to get involved.

Even if they wanted to participate, they didn't have the financial resources; they weren't even qualified to sit at the table for a meal.

The next day.

Deep within the Jiang family's territory.

Ancestor Jiang Shun summoned clan chief Jiang Yitao.

The two are grandfather and granddaughter.

After exchanging pleasantries about everyday matters, Jiang Shun got down to business and asked:

"How many people in the clan under the age of sixty have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?"

"Reporting to the Ancestor, there is only one person."

As the clan leader, Jiang Yitao naturally knew about the situation of his clansmen.

Not to mention the clansmen who have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Jiang Shun frowned, his expression displeased, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Jiang Anyong," Jiang Yitao said respectfully, "He is fifty-six years old this year and has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining cultivation."

Jiang Shun closed his eyes. "Fuying's grandson?"

"Exactly." Jiang Yitao nodded.

Jiang's eldest son, Jiang Fuying, gave birth to Jiang Yitian, and Jiang Yitian gave birth to Jiang Anyong.

Jiang Anyong belongs to the eldest son's lineage.

In terms of seniority, he is of the same generation as Jiang Yun's mother.

"Is Jiang Yitian currently holding the position of Elder of Foreign Affairs?" Jiang Shun asked again.

"Yes," Jiang Yitao replied, "Over the years, Yitian has raised his cultivation to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, but he is already over sixty years old."

Jiang Shun remained silent for a moment.

Unexpectedly, only one person in the family reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining before the age of sixty.

"Send Jiang Anyong to see me," Jiang Shun said after a long pause.

"Yes, ma'am."

Jiang Yitao stepped down.

Soon, Jiang Anyong was brought to meet Jiang Shun.

"Greetings, Ancestor," Jiang Anyong said respectfully.

Jiang Shun sized up Jiang Anyong and abruptly asked, "What are your chances of successfully establishing your foundation?"

"Reporting to the Ancestor, I..." Jiang Anyong stammered.

"There's nothing shameful about telling the truth," Jiang Shun said calmly.

"One-tenth!"

Jiang Anyong said through gritted teeth.

In reality, he had no confidence at all; it was all an exaggeration.

But he realized that the ancestor wouldn't ask him this question for no reason.

Perhaps the ancestor will grant him the opportunity to establish his foundation.

Therefore, we should report as high as possible.

"One-tenth?" Jiang Shunxin looked directly at Jiang Anyong, her eyes clear as day. "What if there's a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Jiang Anyong's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, an opportunity to establish his foundation awaited him!

"Reporting to Ancestor," Jiang Anyong straightened his back, "If I had a Foundation Establishment Pill, I would have a 30% chance of establishing my foundation!"

Jiang Shun nodded slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Go down."

"The Ancestor takes his leave."

Jiang Anyong respectfully withdrew.

"Hmph! Thirty percent?" Jiang Shun sneered. "I don't think he's even twenty percent sure!"
