Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

If it were in the world of immortal cultivation.

Arranging the cave dwelling is a matter of safety and well-being for those practicing cultivation.

Jiang Yun absolutely refused to let it pass through anyone else's hands.

Not to mention that the entire cave was built by someone else, and even the magic array was set up by someone else.

However, this time it was a cave dwelling built for him by his family.

Moreover, it is located in Maple Leaf City, so there is no danger.

As for the magic array inside the cave, there must be a control token.

This token should be with Zhou Hongde now.

Once Jiang Yun obtains this token, he will be able to control the entire magic array of the cave.

Unless Zhou Hongde can forge two tokens.

This is unlikely.

Zhou Hongde had no reason to do such foolish things.

Just as Jiang Yun had predicted.

When he and Zhou Hongde arrived at the mountainside...

Zhou Hongde took out a token and said in a deep voice:

"The cave is actually right in front of us, but it is surrounded by a maze, making it difficult for ordinary people to find."

After saying this, Zhou Hong handed the token to Jiang Yun and continued:

"This is the cave's magic array token. There is only one. Please keep it safe."

"Besides the illusion array, the magic array also includes a spirit gathering array and a warning array. In addition, there is a second-tier low-grade barrier array, which can block the divine sense detection of early Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"By imprinting your divine sense onto the token and making it recognize you as its owner, you can sense the existence of the magic array and turn it on and off at will."

Zhou Hong met Jiang Yun just over a hundred days after he began his foundational studies.

There were many explanations given when the token was handed over.

"Okay." Jiang Yun took the token and stared at it intently.

Then he extended his divine sense and imprinted his divine sense mark on the token.

After the divine sense imprint appeared in the token, Jiang Yun clearly sensed the presence of several formations.

With a thought, he deactivated the illusion array.

The scene before them changed in an instant.

On the mountainside, which was originally covered with flowers, grass and trees, the gate to a cave appeared.

"The art of formations is indeed wondrous."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He took a few steps forward and pushed open the stone door of the cave.

Suddenly, a spacious hall appeared before Jiang Yun's eyes.

This hall occupies at least one acre of land.

The walls of the hall were decorated with many luminous pearls for lighting purposes.

Jiang Yun then went into the cave to observe.

Zhou Hongde followed him in and explained, "I didn't know your preferences, so I only set up a main hall and a secret meditation room."

Inside the main hall, there is a secluded chamber for closed-door meditation.

Jiang Yun quickly discovered the secret room.

There was nothing else in the secret room except a meditation cushion.

From now on, if Jiang Yun wants to buy anything, he will have to buy it himself.

In addition, he could also create some more rooms to store miscellaneous items.

As for the main hall, it can be properly decorated and used to receive guests.

"Thank you for your trouble, Chieftain."

Jiang Yun was fairly satisfied with the cave dwelling.

He was already content with having a cave for cultivation.

Moreover, the cave dwelling is blessed with a spirit-gathering array, making it richer in spiritual energy than other places.

In addition, there is a second-tier low-grade barrier array that can block the divine sense probing of early Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It is absolutely safe to practice in seclusion here, and no one will disturb you.

"It's alright." Zhou Hongde waved his hand. "The family originally planned to use this place to develop medicinal herb fields."

"But the land is small, the harvest of medicinal herbs is limited, and people need to be sent to look after it."

"Now that you have established your foundation, this place is the perfect spot to build a cave dwelling."

When Zhou Hongde mentioned the medicinal herb field, he remembered that Jiang Yun was an alchemist, so he reminded him:

"If you want to grow medicinal herbs, you can get some seeds and cultivate a medicinal herb field."

"We could dig a spirit pool outside and raise spirit fish there; that wouldn't be a bad idea."

"Alright." Jiang Yun thought for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

That seems to be the case.

They will cultivate medicinal herbs in a field and raise spiritual fish in a pond.

This is what a Foundation Establishment cultivator should be like.

"Once this matter is settled, you should familiarize yourself with the cave's environment." Zhou Hongde nodded slightly. "A clan meeting will be held in three days, at which time you will be appointed as the clan's Grand Elder, responsible for managing the Pill Hall and the Zhou Clan's Pill Shop."

After saying this, Zhou Hongde drifted away.

Jiang Yun was the only one left in the cave.

The huge cave seemed rather deserted.

With a thought, Jiang Yun immediately closed the cave entrance.

Immediately afterwards, he went to the secluded chamber where he was in seclusion and used all his strength to probe out his divine sense.

Under the effect of the second-tier low-grade barrier array, divine sense was indeed hindered, and he was unable to detect the situation outside the cave.

In this way, even early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the outside world would be unable to detect the situation inside the cave.

However, a warning array was set up outside the cave.

If anyone approaches the cave, Jiang Yun will receive a warning.

Security and privacy are greatly protected.

"It's alright. If I have some free time in the future, I can buy some furniture to decorate the cave."

Jiang Yun nodded in satisfaction, activated the illusion array, and put the array token into his storage bag.

Then he sat cross-legged on the futon and began to meditate and cultivate himself.

Cultivating in one's own cave feels completely different.

Three days later.

Jiang Yun finished his cultivation and left the cave to attend the clan gathering.

The Zhou family rarely holds clan meetings.

Jiang Yun's successful foundation building led to an important change in his duties, which is why the clan leader convened a clan meeting.

This matter was discussed in the family meeting hall.

The Zhou family elders and key members were all present.

When Jiang Yun entered the conference hall, everyone looked at him with envy and respect.

When Jiang Yun appeared, many clan elders bowed to him.

During this time, everyone in the Zhou family knew that Jiang Yun had successfully established his foundation and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Even though these people were elders of the Zhou family, their cultivation levels were no match for Jiang Yun's.

When they met Jiang Yun, they dared not show any seniority and naturally had to bow first.

Jiang Yun nodded slightly.

This is a manifestation of the principle that strength is paramount in the cultivation world.

In the meeting hall, Zhou Hong, seeing that all the important clansmen were present and Jiang Yun was also seated, announced:

"As you all probably know, Zhou Yun has already established his foundation and is also a second-tier alchemist."

"The position of Grand Elder, which has been vacant in the family for some time, will be filled by Zhou Yun from today onwards."

"Specifically responsible for the management of Dantang and Zhou's Dan Shop."

The family's Grand Elder is not the Grand Elder of the Alchemy Hall or the Weapon Refining Hall.

His status was second only to Zhou Renhe, the patriarch of the Zhou family, and Zhou Hongde, the clan leader.

Even Ye Hongyi, the matriarch of the Zhou family, had to respectfully address Jiang Yun as the Grand Elder.

Previously, Ye Hongyi could decide Jiang Yun's fate with just a few words, but that's no longer possible.

In the entire Zhou family, Jiang Yun is now the third most important person.

"This is the token of the family's Grand Elder. Take it." Zhou Hong handed a token to Jiang Yun.

"Yes, ma'am."

Jiang Yun calmly accepted the token.

"Greetings, Grand Elder."

Upon seeing this, the Zhou family members present all stood up, cupped their hands in greeting to Jiang Yun, and respectfully addressed him as the Grand Elder.
