Chapter 279: Six Years Have Passed
Yang Jiuli was still single, and Tang Yifan couldn't help but nag him a few times in his letters, urging him to get married soon.
Furthermore, it was mentioned that the child was extremely cute, and that his innocent voice was incredibly endearing.
Recently, he also urged Cui Lao's son, Hongqing, to get married as soon as possible and have more sons so that he could enjoy the joys of family life.
Not only Tang Yifan, but also Lu Wenzheng's son began to get married.
Yang Jiuli sent someone to deliver the gifts, but did not leave Nanling rashly.
Huang Cheng also had two sons.
Looking back, of his former companions, only he, Qin Zhixue, and Lu Wenqing remained; Li Yourong had not yet married.
Yang Jiuli simply laughed it off.
The tender feelings between parents and children are something to cherish.
The growth and expansion of branches and leaves is also a source of satisfaction.
But this fleeting moment of affection and brief family bliss was not what he sought.
Only by achieving immortality can one endure.
After exchanging letters with old friends and taking a short break, Yang Jiuli continued his cultivation.
The Nanling Mountains are also calm and peaceful.
……
In the blink of an eye.
Six years have passed.
Yang Jiuli is already 69 years old.
Unbeknownst to him, he had been at Lingxi Peak for twenty years.
On the third day of the second lunar month, Ye Xiyu found Yang Jiuli and told her that she was preparing to establish her foundation.
At this time, Ye Xiyu was also over thirty-eight years old.
At this age, she is not young.
Perhaps it was because she had taken the Youth-Preserving Pill, but her appearance remained youthful and beautiful, and her figure became more voluptuous, exuding a mature charm.
When she bows and greets others, her curves are exquisite.
Ye Xiyu came to ask the master for guidance on the essentials of Foundation Building.
This increases the probability of foundation building.
After all, the foundation building process is of great importance. Without experience, even a slight mistake can lead to failure in foundation building.
It could even damage one's foundation, thus severing one's path to immortality.
This is why many ordinary clans without Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if they have geniuses, may not be able to establish their foundation.
"Foundation Building..." In the courtyard, Yang Jiuli took a sip of tea and looked at Ye Xiyu.
"With abundant magical power and a solid foundation... there is a nine-tenths chance of success in establishing your foundation at this time!" he said.
"You have worked hard for me all these years and made great contributions. Here, take this 'Great Blood Qi Pill' and 'Soul Strengthening Pill'." Yang Jiuli waved his hand, and the two pills he had prepared beforehand flew out of his storage bag and hovered in front of Ye Xiyu.
"Thank you, sir!" Ye Xiyu was delighted and accepted the two bottles of pills.
Yang Jiuli had long ago gifted her the near-third-tier 'Ice Flame Flower,' which gave her a 60% chance of establishing her immortal foundation.
Now that she has obtained the "Great Blood Qi Pill" and the "Soul Strengthening Pill," she is eighty percent confident this time.
In particular, the "Soul Strengthening Pill" can enhance soul power, which allows her to suppress the medicinal power of the "Ice Flame Flower".
"Do you have any questions about Foundation Establishment?" Yang Jiuli asked.
"Although I have some knowledge of Foundation Establishment, I would still like to hear your guidance, sir!" Ye Xiyu said.
"Foundation building is nothing more than using essence, energy, and spirit to condense the 'human flower'... However, your physique is special... You possess the 'Yin-Yang Spiritual Eye,' so this foundation building process may be different... If the power of the Spiritual Eye is activated, you should first gather its power and fuse it with your essence, energy, and spirit... Then, use this as a foundation to condense the 'human flower'... I think you should be able to build a high-level immortal foundation."
Yang Jiuli said.
"The power of the Spirit Eye..." Ye Xiyu said, "If we cannot suppress this power, what should we do?"
"The power of the Spirit Eye... may require external force to activate. You can proceed slowly and do what you can..." Yang Jiuli said.
He explained it to Ye Xiyu in detail.
"At that time, I can protect you, and if you feel any discomfort, I can help you suppress it."
He was also very interested in Ye Xiyu's spiritual eyes.
Therefore, he wanted to see what kind of immortal foundation the latter could build before offering to protect him.
"Protect the Dao..." Upon hearing this, Ye Xiyu was overjoyed and quickly bowed. "In that case, Xiyu thanks you, sir!"
Originally, she was worried that she would not be able to suppress the power of the Spirit Eye, and that she would not only fail to establish her foundation but also destroy her spiritual root.
Now that the gentleman had spoken, her anxiety finally subsided.
Afterwards, Ye Xiyu asked a few more questions and then took her leave, intending to first calm her mind before establishing her foundation.
……
Five days later.
Above Lingxi Peak.
A meditation room.
Ye Xiyu sat cross-legged inside a second-tier spirit-gathering array, preparing to establish her foundation.
Yang Jiuli stood by his side, protecting him.
At this moment, the Spirit Gathering Array had already been activated.
Within the earth's veins, a rich source of fire elemental energy is drawn in.
Ye Xiyu's cultivation of the second-tier mid-grade technique, "Ding Huo Ju Liu Jue," was not particularly fast in drawing upon the fire elemental energy.
However, she had a solid foundation, and after only a short time of gathering Qi, she already felt that her body was full of magical power and that she was about to break through.
With a flick of her hand, three bottles of pills appeared.
They are respectively the "Great Blood Qi Pill", the "Soul Strengthening Pill", and the "Pulse Protecting Pill".
She had originally prepared a second-tier spiritual plant called "Flame in the Flower".
However, now that she had the better near-third-tier spirit item, the Ice Flame Flower, she gave up the Flame in the Flower.
He feared that he would be unable to suppress too much spiritual flame power, thereby damaging his spiritual root.
Ye Xiyu first took the "Great Blood Qi Pill," and her blood and qi immediately surged within her body, like hot oil being poured over water.
"With vigorous blood and energy... he is already capable of condensing a human flower."
"However, to establish a high-level immortal foundation, one still needs to refine the 'Ice Flame Flower'..."
Ye Xiyu whispered, and then with a flick of her jade hand, a jade box flew out and hovered in front of her.
She opened the jade box.
The near-third-tier spiritual artifact, the "Ice Flame Flower," manifested before him.
A dense wisp of ice and fire energy emanated from the shimmering ice flames within the flower.
That kind of icy flame was extremely pure and contained a domineering power of heaven and earth.
She circulated her cultivation technique, absorbing strands of ice and flame power and slowly refining it.
If you absorb too much at once, you are likely to suffer a backlash.
Even so, the wisp of icy cold air entering her body still made her shiver.
The meridians in the body felt as if they were being covered with a layer of frost.
Ye Xiyu had no choice but to circulate her magic power to protect her meridians, and only then was she able to melt away the frost.
However, that wisp of icy power seemed out of place as it flowed through her meridians.
It clashed with the fire spirit energy within his body, producing bursts of explosions.
Like hot oil steaming.
"These ice and flame powers are beyond my ability to refine..." Ye Xiyu frowned, her divine sense stirring as she focused her gaze into her eyes.
In an instant, her eyes...
A radiant light shone forth.
His left eye was marked with black Dao patterns, signifying Yin.
The white lines on his right eye represent Yang.
It is a mixture of yin and yang, and is permeated with an extremely yin and extremely yang power.
Unfortunately, she couldn't utilize the power within.
"I still can't control the power inside!" Ye Xiyu frowned, her silver teeth biting her red lips.
At this moment, the power of ice and fire within her body was gradually becoming uncontrollable.
She was extremely anxious.
With a thought, he sensed Yang Jiuli.
"Try drawing a wisp of ice and fire energy into your spiritual eye..." Yang Jiuli said.
"I can't control this ice and fire energy!" Ye Xiyu said helplessly, her voice soft and tearful like a young girl on the verge of tears.
The power of ice and fire was too strong; she was already struggling to suppress it, let alone draw even a wisp into her eyes!
"In that case, let me lend you a hand!" Yang Jiuli's gaze sharpened, and with a flick of his hand, a wisp of the Three Lives Qi swept out and entered Ye Xiyu's body, immediately enveloping the wisp of 'Ice and Fire Qi'.
Instantly, the raging ice flames, as violent as boiling oil, began to be suppressed little by little.
The energy within Ye Xiyu's body immediately transformed from a surging volcano into a calm lake, becoming steady and still.
"It's been suppressed!" Ye Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief upon sensing this change.
The tense nerves were able to relax.
A sense of security welled up inside me.
"I'm about to begin. Relax and don't resist," Yang Jiuli said.
"Yes!" Ye Xiyu replied telepathically.
Then, Yang Jiuli used his divine sense to control the ice flames and send them into Ye Xiyu's eyes.
When the Qi of the Three Lives touched his eyes, the black and white Dao patterns in his pupils rippled.
It was as if a calm lake had suddenly been churned up with towering waves, or as if a volcano was about to erupt.
That hidden power was so captivating that even Yang Jiuli was moved by it.
"What immense power!"
"The aura is rather obscure... It seems to lack earth-shattering power, yet it contains some profound truth... It is not something that ordinary people can possess."
"Even a Core Formation cultivator cannot master such profound mysteries!"
"This little girl...is truly blessed!"
Yang Jiuli whispered.
However, the power of the Spirit Eye became increasingly restless.
"A wisp of ice flame power should not be enough to cause such a reaction."
Yang Jiuli hesitated: "Could it be that you sensed the aura of the Three Lives?"
The reaction of the Dao pattern in his eyes exceeded his expectations.
He then tried to contain the energy of the three lives.
To conceal one's presence.
The black and white patterns then subsided slightly.
Then, he released the power of ice and flame within.
The trump card: within the black and white Dao patterns, black and white energy emanates.
One black and one white swirled out, resembling the power of the moon and the sun.
"Try to control this power with your divine sense..." Yang Jiuli said.
"Yes!" Ye Xiyu immediately tried to merge her divine sense with the power of the moon and the sun.
Surprisingly, the two forces did not repel each other; she easily fused them together.
In an instant, a sense of power surged into Ye Xiyu's heart.
She seemed to wield an immense and unparalleled magical power.
"You should draw this power into your body and thus fuse it with the ice flames..." Yang Jiuli said.
"Yes!" Ye Xiyu replied.
Under the influence of these two forces, the power of ice and flame became incredibly docile and actively merged with each other.
In this way, Yang Jiuli assisted Ye Xiyu in fusing the power of ice and flame.
……
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
As the power surged in her eyes, Ye Xiyu began to smoothly fuse and absorb the ice and flame power within the 'Ice Flame Flower'.
She then focused her mind on it, trying to use it as a foundation to condense the "human flower".
Even with Yang Jiuli's help, her spiritual power was constantly being depleted, and she was sweating profusely, clearly showing signs of being unable to hold on.
"As expected, Foundation Establishment requires a vast amount of divine sense power," Ye Xiyu thought to herself.
She immediately took the "Soul Strengthening Pill," and a surge of powerful medicinal energy flowed into her body and was absorbed by her soul.
The power of divine consciousness within the body was enhanced.
Thus, the speed at which she condensed the 'human flower' began to increase.
Afterwards, she took the "Pulse Protector Pill".
……
Time slips away quietly.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
The Ice Flame Flower has been completely refined.
Yang Jiuli also withdrew his divine sense from his body.
Within Ye Xiyu's body, a "human flower" radiating the power of ice and fire gradually took shape.
"The 'Human Flower' gathers..." At a certain moment, Ye Xiyu's mind stirred and the 'Human Flower' suddenly bloomed.
A mixture of ice and fire emanated from the "human flower" within her body, bursting forth into the sky.
In an instant, the air above Lingxi Peak was filled with the aura of ice and fire.
A giant vortex formed.
Within that vortex, a flower of ice and fire hung high, radiating dazzling brilliance.
Strands of icy and fiery energy cascaded down from the flowers, gathering to form a lake.
Nearby, a rich aura of ice and fire was drawn in by the 'human flower' and merged into it.
This caused the aura of the "human flower" to rise continuously.
The strange phenomena continued to unfold.
From 100 meters...
Up to 600 meters.
"Sister has successfully condensed the 'Human Flower'!" Ye Zhirou was overjoyed in Lingxi Peak as she looked up at the sky.
As long as one can maintain composure and prevent the condensed "human flower" from dissipating, there is a chance to open up the dantian in one fell swoop and successfully establish the foundation.
Some have shallow foundations.
Even if a cultivator with insufficient spiritual energy condenses a "human flower," they will not be able to successfully open their dantian, and the "human flower" will eventually dissipate.
Foundation building failed.
Such examples occur every year in the Nanling Mountains.
air.
The immense power of ice and fire was drawn to the 'human flower' in the strange phenomenon, causing its aura to continuously rise.
"The energy is steadily advancing... This means Foundation Establishment is within reach!" Ye Rui's eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the nearby mountain peak.
"My Ye family... has a worthy successor!" Ye Hong said, tears streaming down his face.
"Is it Xi Yu?" Ye Xijia said with envy.
……
"Dan Hai... open!"
Inside the cave, Ye Xiyu's mind stirred, and she controlled the 'Human Flower' within her body to rush towards the dantian below her spiritual root.
As soon as the "Human Flower" moved, the ice and fire power within her body surged like a torrent, raging downwards.
That immense power caused the barrier of the dantian acupoint below the spiritual root to tremble and develop some cracks.
Then, with another thought, she gathered all her strength and blasted the barrier once more.
boom!
A loud bang.
It suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The barrier in her dantian shattered completely, and the magical power within her body flowed inward.
Instantly, the 'human flower' carrying immense magical power surged into her dantian.
Within his dantian, magical power surged like a tide, converging into a lake.
The spiritual root took root in the lake, and the "Human Flower" hung high above, with wisps of ice and fire energy hanging down.
The vast energy of ice and fire before her was drawn in, causing her aura to surge continuously.
Outside, the strange phenomenon extended, covering an area of about a thousand meters.
"Judging from this aura... he should have established a third-order immortal foundation..." Yang Jiuli murmured in the cave.
"This has only activated a small portion of the power of the Spirit Eye..."
Yang Jiuli took in all the changes within Ye Xiyu's body.
Because this goddess's consciousness was limited, he did not unleash much of the power of the Yin-Yang Spirit Eye.
Otherwise, she could have built an even higher immortal foundation.
However, Yang Jiuli also felt that this was just right.
After all, sometimes, being exceptionally talented is not a good thing for ordinary clan members; it can even bring trouble.
After consolidating for half a day.
Ye Xiyu's breathing stabilized, and she stopped cultivating.
She stood up, bowed to Yang Jiuli, and said, "Sir, I have built a mid-grade third-tier immortal foundation, 'The Abyss of Yin and Yang Ice and Fire'."
She looked delighted.
If there is no 'Ice Flame Flower'.
Without her husband's help, she would never have been able to condense a mid-grade third-tier immortal foundation.
"You have established a third-tier immortal foundation, and your future prospects are limitless. However, the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind."
"You possess spiritual eyes. If outsiders were to discover this, it would likely bring disaster. From now on, try to reveal yourself to others as little as possible."
Yang Jiuli said.
"Xi Yu will certainly follow your teachings."
Ye Xiyu bowed and said, "I will forever remember your kindness in protecting me, sir!"
She looked very grateful.
Although Ye Xiyu was also aware that her spiritual eyes were extraordinary.
But the power within was completely beyond her control.
If it weren't for the protection of the master, that power would have been enough to destroy her.
"We are destined to meet, and my helping you this time is just a casual gesture. It's not appropriate to do this," Yang Jiuli said.
"Sir's casual act laid the foundation for Xiyu's immortality, and Xiyu will always remember it," Ye Xiyu said.
Yang Jiuli nodded slightly and said, "You should focus on consolidating your cultivation. If you have any doubts, you can come and find me."
"Yes!" Ye Xiyu replied.
Yang Jiuli reached out and patted Ye Xiyu's head, his emotions churning.
When I first met this girl, she was only 18 years old, a frail young woman full of worries and uncertain about the future.
Now, more than twenty years have passed, and this woman has already established a third-order immortal foundation, with the prospect of forming a core in the future. Truly, times have changed.
Until the very end, no one can predict what the past will hold.
"What is this, sir?" Ye Xiyu was overjoyed to see Mr. Yang actually reach out and gently stroke her head for the first time.
"Does this mean he approves of me?" Her cheeks flushed, and she felt excited.
She blinked her long eyelashes and looked at Yang Jiuli with great joy, but dared not say a word.
"Work hard!" Yang Jiuli withdrew his hand, nodded slightly, and said with a hint of encouragement.
Although the woman has only established a third-tier immortal foundation, the power of her "Two Elements Spirit Eyes" will be fully unleashed in the future.
The achievements will be unimaginable.
Therefore, Yang Jiuli was also very interested to see just how far the latter would grow.
she……
What exactly is the origin of the "Two Elements Spirit Eyes"?
This was also of great benefit to his exploration of the vast immortal path.
"Yes!" Ye Xiyu nodded heavily.
Afterwards, Yang Jiuli took his leave and returned to the villa.
Ye Xiyu continued her seclusion to consolidate her cultivation.
Foundation Building:
The original plan was to send out invitations to hold a Foundation Establishment Banquet, to announce to the world that the cultivators of Nanling would know that the Ye family had a successor.
However, Ye Xiyu did not hold a banquet.
She only met with a few clan elders.
Apart from that, she was not interested in the position of clan leader of the Ye family, and simply allowed the Ye family to operate according to the existing rules.
She only wanted to focus on cultivation.
"Sir, your depths are unfathomable; you will surely reach the Great Dao of Core Formation in the future."
"To follow in his footsteps, I must work twice as hard..."
"All worldly affairs... can be discarded!"
Her faith in Taoism was unwavering.
He had long since given up any desire to inherit the position of clan leader of the Ye family.
