With the Eight Immortals' magical treasures in hand, even a mortal like myself! Ha!

Without much thought, Gu Qing opened the barrier and let Han Li in. After entering, Han Li was tempted by the many ancient medicinal herbs in the herb field.

Although Han Li himself could cultivate herbs using the little green bottle, he did it secretly and did not dare to openly cultivate several acres of spiritual herbs.

Soon, Han Li met his master, Gu Qing. To this day, he still doesn't know why Gu Qing accepted him as his disciple after only seeing him once.

During this period, Han Li was on guard, but he later discovered that Gu Qing had ignored him since their last meeting and was rarely seen.

That's why Han Li felt a little more at ease. He came here today because of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Han Li received word that after the Blood Forbidden Zone this year, if he wanted to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would have to wait another ten years.

Han Li couldn't wait that long, so he came to ask Gu Qing if there were any other ways to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Disciple greets Master." Han Li bowed respectfully. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but his master seemed to have become much stronger, giving him a sense of pressure.

Gu Qing looked Han Li up and down. He had already reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, so she guessed what was going on and asked, "Did you take a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"Yes, Master, I lack talent and failed in the end, so I wanted to ask if there were any other ways to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill," Han Li hurriedly said.

"Foundation Establishment Pills? Besides the once-a-decade sect tournament, the only other way to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills is in this year's Crimson Forbidden Land." Gu Qing shared the information he knew.

However, Han Li was somewhat disappointed, as he already knew this information: "Master, besides these two methods, are there no other ways to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills?"

"Yes, I do. Come with me," Gu Qing said with a smile.

Han Li was overjoyed. He hadn't expected there to be one. It seemed his master was no ordinary person.

Soon, Gu Qing got up and left the thatched house with Han Li. When they reached the courtyard, they saw the spiritual plants all over the place and took out a flute to play a tune.

The once clear sky gathered a large amount of fog, which eventually turned into a light rain that pattered down on the medicinal field. Nourished by this rain formed from spiritual energy, the medicinal herbs in the field grew much better than those in other places.

After finishing everything, Gu Qing led Han Li to weed the medicinal herb field before riding the magical artifact away to Hong Fu Cave.

If I remember correctly, Hong Fu should have had two Foundation Establishment Pills. I just don't know if she kept any.

"You will be paying respects to your grandmaster, Ancestor Hongfu, a Core Formation cultivator. Be respectful," Gu Qing said during the flight.

Han Li was shocked to hear this, not expecting that the person he was to meet was actually a Core Formation cultivator.

"Yes, disciple will remember this." Han Li said respectfully.

Soon, Gu Qing landed in front of Hong Fu's cave with Han Li. He then sent out a sound transmission talisman and heard Hong Fu's clear and cold voice coming from inside the cave.

"Come in!"

Gu Qing bowed to the stone gate, then led Han Li into the cave. There, they saw Hong Fu, dressed in a Taoist robe, sitting at a stone table, with Dong Xuan'er sobbing beside her.

I just don't know what could have made Dong Xuan'er cry.

"Your cultivation level has improved?" Hong Fu looked at Gu Qing with some surprise, not expecting that Gu Qing would improve from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in just two years.

At this rate, Gu Qing could reach the late Foundation Establishment stage by the age of forty and complete Core Formation before the age of one hundred.

This made Hong Fu's heart flutter, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Dong Xuan'er. Dong Xuan'er seemed to sense Hong Fu's gaze, and buried her head in her chest, not daring to look up, but only secretly glancing at Gu Qing out of the corner of her eye.

"Thanks to the pill formula provided by Master, my cultivation has made some progress. I came here today for my disciple Han Li. I wonder if Master has dealt with the two Foundation Establishment Pills he has?" Gu Qing asked.

Upon hearing the mention of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Hong Fu couldn't help but look at Dong Xuan'er, whose ears were now completely red.

Because Hong Fu gave both of her Foundation Establishment Pills to Dong Xuan'er, but Dong Xuan'er was a bit disappointing, and failed to establish her foundation after taking both pills.

"Master also wanted to ask how many Foundation Establishment Pills you used to successfully establish your foundation, and whether you have any extra Foundation Establishment Pills on hand," Hong Fu said, shaking her head helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing knew that Hong Fu did not have any Foundation Establishment Pills, so he said instead, "In that case, I will have to make a trip to Sect Leader Zhong."

"Okay! Go ahead." Hong Fu nodded, agreeing with Gu Qing's idea.

Gu Qing bowed and slowly withdrew from the cave. Once outside, he said, "It seems I'll have to ask Sect Leader Zhong for those Foundation Establishment Pill seeds."

Foundation Establishment Pill seeds? There's such a thing? Han Li obviously didn't expect that if he were given some seeds, he could cultivate countless Foundation Establishment Pills.

This made Han Li's heart pound.

"Master, how did the seed turn into a Foundation Establishment Pill?" Han Li forced himself to calm down and asked the question that was on his mind.

"Yes, how did the seed turn into a Foundation Establishment Pill, Senior Brother?" Dong Xuan'er suddenly appeared from behind.

Looking at Han Li and Dong Xuan'er, Gu Qing inexplicably thought of Senior Sister Chen.

Hmm! Gu Qing is now at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so she shouldn't be called Senior Sister Chen, but Junior Nephew Chen.

I wonder if my nephew Chen will still be defiled even with my intervention. If he is, that would be a real sin.

"Senior brother, tell me, how do the seeds of the Foundation Establishment Pill herbs turn into a Foundation Establishment Pill?" Dong Xuan'er was very bold. She grabbed Gu Qing's arm with her small hands and shook it, occasionally rubbing against her soft chest. It was unclear whether she did it unintentionally or on purpose.

Gu Qing was speechless, not understanding why Hong Fu had released Dong Xuan'er, that little vixen.

Seeing that Gu Qing's expression was not good, Dong Xuan'er leaned close to Gu Qing's ear and whispered, "Master allowed us to go out to the market to exchange for spirit stones. He said he would take us to a trade fair."

"Really?" Gu Qing's expression changed incredibly quickly; upon hearing that she could leave, her entire mindset shifted.

"Of course it's true. Alright, now can you tell me how the Foundation Establishment Pill seed turned into a pill?" Dong Xuan'er raised her head, revealing her snow-white neck. Looking down her neck, one could see a different view, which made the man's mind wander.

Fortunately, Hong Fu was a rather reserved person; otherwise, Dong Xuan'er would have been able to go out wearing a light gauze dress, making her entire body appear and disappear, arousing the desires of all men.

"This is a sect secret. Only the dead know this secret. Do you still want to know?" Gu Qing threatened.

Sure enough, Han Li immediately stopped asking questions, while Dong Xuan'er pouted and said, "Tch! Fine, don't tell me then. I don't care to know anyway."

"Alright, don't ask any more questions. It won't do you any good." After saying that, Gu Qing rode his magical artifact to the council hall.

Dong Xuan'er insisted on squeezing onto the same flying artifact with Gu Qing, and if they weren't outside Hong Fu Cave, Gu Qing would definitely have taught Dong Xuan'er a lesson.
