Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 108 Ancient True Spirit, Foundation Establishment Minor Celebration

The following day at noon.

Introduced by Zhu Hongyi, Yu Daoxuan met with a fellow disciple from a small family.

The other party was a middle-aged cultivator surnamed Bi, with a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivation.

Since there was no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, they would organize small celebrations or other events specifically for newly established Foundation Establishment members in order to obtain some spirit stones.

"Nephew Bi, I'll have to trouble you with this celebration."

After Yu Daoxuan finished discussing the matter with the other party, he cupped his hands in greeting.

"Uncle Yu, you're too kind. It's my honor to host this celebration for you."

The fellow disciple surnamed Bi looked terrified.

In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. Unless they are family, master, disciple, or fellow disciples, people generally address each other according to their cultivation level.

Although the fellow disciple surnamed Bi was much older than Yu Daoxuan, he was only a Qi Refining cultivator.

Moreover, he was just an ordinary inner disciple without a master, so the other party had to address Yu Daoxuan as his senior uncle.

Only fellow disciples like Zhu Hongyi, and other direct disciples of their senior uncles, would not change their form of address.

Yu Daoxuan had already set the date for the celebration, choosing an auspicious day more than ten days from now.

The location is Donglai Peak.

According to the sect's rules, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one can choose a cave dwelling of their own.

Donglai Peak has abundant spiritual energy, second only to Tiandu Peak, so it was not changed.

After the other party left, Yu Daoxuan moved and flew towards the Scripture Pavilion in a flash.

Upon seeing the Foundation Establishment cultivator's escape light from afar, all the Qi Refining Sect members they encountered along the way gave way and bowed respectfully.

Occasionally, when encountering fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if they are not very familiar with each other, they would all nod and greet each other in a friendly manner.

This made Yu Daoxuan truly realize that as his cultivation level improved, the experiences he had and the scenery he saw would be very different.

Not long after, the beam of light landed in front of the Sutra Repository.

Those who have reached the Qi Refining stage can only peruse the books and classics on the first or second floor.

Foundation Establishment cultivators, of course, do not have such restrictions and can view the jade slips and scriptures on almost every floor of the pavilion.

Only a few sect-protecting cultivation techniques require prior approval from the Purple Mansion Ancestor or the sect leader.

Compared to the first and second floors, the third and fourth floors have far fewer bookshelves, but the quality and standard of the collected books are significantly higher.

Yu Daoxuan casually walked through a few bookshelves and saw several jade slip books that were quite valuable to him.

However, the most urgent task is to find out whether the Lingxiao Sect is related to the Stone Eye, and if not, what the Stone Eye's origin is.

With that in mind, I searched through each bookshelf.

After an unknown amount of time, he found information about the Lingxiao Sect.

The information about the Lingxiao Sect on this third floor is more comprehensive and detailed than the information on the first floor.

Among these materials, three were even passed down from the Lingxiao Sect, containing information and stories of the sect's past leaders, which greatly benefited Yu Daoxuan.

After spending several hours reading through all the materials, Yu Daoxuan gained a deeper understanding of the Lingxiao Sect and felt as if he were a cultivator of the Lingxiao Sect himself.

However, the records about stone eyes above are only a few words, and most of them are speculation and doubt.

The stone eye seems to be related to an ancient spirit.

This was obtained by the first sect leader of the Lingxiao Sect from an ancient secret realm, and he deduced it based on the strange appearance of the stone eye.

As for what kind of true spirit it is, no one knows for sure. It is only known that when the owner's strength changes, the stone eye will change accordingly.

"From this perspective, this change should be good, it should be helpful."

Yu Daoxuan saw that the first leader of the Lingxiao Sect was able to die peacefully in his old age, proving that the Stone Eye would not cause strange phenomena such as demonic possession or demonization.

After reviewing the information on the Lingxiao Sect, Yu Daoxuan did not leave. Instead, he continued to look through the information on other Golden Core factions in the Song Kingdom.

Even those sects that have been destroyed in history, like the Lingxiao Sect, I would still take a look.

A thousand years ago, the Song Kingdom was ruled by six major Core Formation forces: Lingxiao Sect, Yuhua Sect, Jianhu Palace, Baocheng Sect, Qiyun Sect, and Yuanzhen Sect.

Due to the rise of the Shangguan family, the royal family of the Song Dynasty, the Lingxiao Sect, Baocheng Sect, and Yuanzhen Sect all declined and fell into ruin.

In addition, a sect called Taihe Sect also took the opportunity to rise, producing two Golden Core cultivators in succession.

From then on, the Song Kingdom was ruled by five major Golden Core forces: the Song royal family, the Yuhua Sect, the Jianhu Palace, the Qiyun Sect, and the Taihe Sect.

Three days later, Yu Daoxuan returned to his cave dwelling with a wealth of knowledge.

He activated the cave's array and began meditating and cultivating.

He did not become complacent after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.

For some Golden Core factions, the Foundation Establishment realm is merely the starting point on the path to immortality.

With his cultivation level, he might be able to dominate an island in the Southern Sea Continent, or become the patriarch of a small family.

But looking at the entire cultivation world of the Song Kingdom, he was just an ordinary cultivator who had entered the inner sanctum.

He summoned the Mysterious Pearl and immersed himself in comprehending the Primordial Mysterious Fire.

With the blessing of the Mysterious Pearl, his consciousness became clear, his wisdom increased, and he could comprehend things with twice the result with half the effort.

To practice this technique, one needs to open up the relevant meridians.

Once the meridians are successfully opened and circulated, one can accumulate Primordial Mystic Fire deep within the dantian according to the secret method.

If you are fighting an enemy, you can unleash it instantly and deliver a fatal blow.

If he succeeds in cultivating it, given Yu Daoxuan's cultivation level, even an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't dare to easily take it head-on.

However, this technique also has its flaws.

Each time it is used, it consumes a large amount of the Primordial Mystic Fire within the body.

Afterwards, the power of the flames must be gathered again in a timely manner according to the secret method, so as to ensure that it can still exert its powerful force when used next time.

Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Today is the day of Yu Daoxuan's minor celebration of establishing his foundation.

With the help of his fellow disciples surnamed Bi, he had a relatively easy time, only needing to receive some important guests.

The cave dwelling was now completely transformed. The long blue stone steps in front of the door were swept clean and spotless, and various spiritual flowers and exotic plants were arranged on both sides of the road, creating an elegant and tranquil atmosphere.

As noon approached, fellow disciples and friends began to arrive one after another.

The first to arrive were Xu Runshan's family.

"Congratulations, Brother Yu! Congratulations, Brother Yu!"

Xu Runshan, accompanied by his wife and two children with spiritual roots, arrived with gifts and beaming smiles to offer his congratulations.

"Runshan, sister-in-law, please have a seat."

Upon hearing his fellow disciple surnamed Bi announce Xu Runshan's name while calling out names outside the door, Yu Daoxuan immediately came out of his cave to greet him.

Despite the vast difference in their status and strength, he felt no sense of estrangement.

Instead, in a message a few days ago, he insisted that the other party not change the way he addressed them.

He cherished his friendship with the other person.

Now that he has successfully established his foundation, seeing that Xu Runshan is still at the sixth level of Qi Refining, he decided to give the latter a Jade Condensation Pill to help him break through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Song Yunshu, who had just completed her sect mission a few days earlier, was the second to arrive.

"Inner disciple Song Yunshu offers congratulations to my Uncle-Master Yu Daoxuan!"

The Bi family members announced their names again.

Yu Daoxuan got up again to greet his childhood friend.

Before long, Hong Yongning, the Zhu siblings, Wei Lanzhi, a fellow disciple surnamed Yu, Yang Mude, and other fellow disciples and friends from the sect arrived one after another.

To Yu Daoxuan's surprise, He Zhixia also brought two congratulatory gifts.

Then, fellow students Zhu Hongyi, Zhou Junyi, Zhou Keyi, Jiao Ping, and others came to offer their congratulations.

Zhu Hongyi and Zhou Junyi felt both happy and sad to see their junior brother Yu Daoxuan reach the Foundation Establishment stage first.

"Does someone like me even have a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Looking at Yu Daoxuan, who was full of vigor and high spirits today, Zhu Hongyi felt a sense of confusion and worry.

"This is what a man should do!"

When the young Jiao Ping saw the imposing Yu Daoxuan in the cave, he couldn't help but feel admiration.

Elder Qi Donglou, Elder Yin Xiuxiu, Elder Lin Zhao, Elder Cao Can...

'

When the fellow disciple surnamed Bi, who was announcing the names, saw so many Foundation Establishment elders arrive, his voice became even more respectful, trembling slightly.

Such a person is already a very important high-ranking member of the sect.

The arrival of Elder Qi Donglou and his wife instantly brought the atmosphere of the celebratory banquet to its peak.

Yu Daoxuan greeted them one by one with a smile.

As Qi Donglou walked along, he caught glimpses of the admiration and envy in the eyes of his two junior brothers, Lin Zhao and Cao Can, and couldn't help but feel a little smug.

His greatest pride comes from seeing his own disciples perform well.

But then he thought of Wang Xuanjiao, who had left the sect for some reason, and a sense of regret and melancholy arose in his heart.

"My little ancestor Lü Yaoyin has arrived to congratulate my Uncle-Master Yu Daoxuan!"

At this moment, the monk surnamed Bi called out his name in a loud voice, attracting everyone's attention.

Lu Yaoyin walked over in a moon-white fairy dress.

Upon seeing him, the guests in the cave all rose and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Junior Uncle."

Lu Yaoyin nodded slightly, holding an ice-patterned jade box in her hands, and slowly walked to Yu Daoxuan.

"Brother Yu, congratulations on successfully establishing your foundation! May your path to enlightenment be everlasting." The girl's voice was clear and melodious. She handed over the jade box, her eyes filled with genuine joy. "A small gift to express my congratulations."

"I am deeply grateful for the special trip made by Junior Uncle, Dao Xuan is unworthy of such an honor."

Yu Daoxuan accepted the jade box with clasped hands, displaying impeccable manners.

Qi Donglou, Cao Can, and others also stepped forward with smiles and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Everyone knows that Junior Sister Lü Yaoyin possesses a special physique and is the sect's greatest hope for future breakthroughs to the Purple Mansion realm.

Her personal attendance at the banquet was enough to show how highly the other party regarded Yu Daoxuan.

Many of the younger disciples looked at the two of them, secretly speculating about their past relationship.

Once Lü Yaoyin arrived, the banquet officially began.

The spirit wine flowed, the spirit fruit exuded fragrance, and laughter and congratulations filled the hall.

As dusk fell and the setting sun bathed the mountains in its glow, the guests began to rise and take their leave.

After Yu Daoxuan saw off everyone, he saw the mountain of gifts piled up in his cave and couldn't help but sigh, "On the path of cultivation, strength is the foundation of one's existence. This is truly true."
