The moon hung high in the sky, and the stars twinkled.
This place was a dense forest. Ancient trees towered into the sky, lush and green, and full of life.
Under a thousand-foot-tall waterfall, Ling Xian sat in a lotus position with his eyes tightly closed. Like an old monk, he sat in meditation. Strands of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy emerged from the void and entered his body.
He had already consumed the Drunken Immortal Brew and the Petal of Enlightenment. He was on the verge of breaking through to the foundational level.
The Drunken Immortal Brew was a rare medicinal wine that contained hundreds of spiritual medicines. It was widely recognized as the best spiritual wine in the Taoism community. With one sip, a cultivator at the peak of the meditational level could complete the foundational level. In this era of alchemy, a perfect foundational Dan hasn't been created in thousands of years. This wine became a treasure that countless Heaven's Favorites yearned for.
The Petal of Enlightenment was even more amazing. Consumed together with the Drunken Immortal Brew, not only could it balance out the overpowering effects of the wine, but it could also double the effect of the wine. Therefore, Ling Xian's chances of breaking through to the foundational level increased. He might even be able to break through to the intermediate stage of the foundational level!
At this moment, Ling Xian's eyes were tightly shut. He held his breath and concentrated, trying his best to absorb the medicinal energy from his body.
The Drunken Immortal Brew and the Petal of Enlightenment fused together and overlapped with each other. The majestic medicinal energy flowed into his internal organs, limbs, and bones. It washed through every inch of his flesh and every bone in his body, causing him to be reborn, like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon.
A puff of green smoke exuded from the top of his head. His white robe was fluttering in the wind, and his breathing was getting stronger and stronger.
Inside his Dantian, the air like spiritual energy was combining and solidifying into a liquid substance. This was the first step from the meditational level to the foundational level.
Spiritual energy turned into water.
The magic power of a Qi Condensation cultivator was like mist, while the magic power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was like a drop of water. The difference between the two was huge. This was also why a Foundation Establishment cultivator could easily kill a Qi Condensation cultivator.
This was a qualitative change, an earth-shattering change.
Only meditational cultivators could transform all the mist into water and successfully break through to the foundational level.
Right now, Ling Xian was completing this step. To him, this was a very simple task. He just needed time. Conservatively speaking, it would take around three days.
…
Just as Ling Xian was immersed in his training, on an empty field not too far away, Mo Qing Fu, Tang Thirteen, and Shui Lian Yi were enjoying tea. It was tea brewed with the Petal of Enlightenment.
The Petal of Enlightenment is a miraculous medicine. Its petals can be used to make medicine and can also be used to make tea. Every petal is priceless. Even Supreme Headmasters don't have many of them.
Only when they reached a bottleneck in their cultivation, or when they needed to comprehend some kind of cultivation method or divine ability, would they be willing to take out a piece of tea and use it to enter the realm of enlightenment, breaking through the obstacles they encountered in their cultivation.
However, the three people before him were extremely extravagant. Every single one of them had three or four lotus petals floating within their teacups, and strands of unique fragrance assaulted the nose, causing one's entire body to feel comfortable and carefree.
"Phew … The tea brewed with the Enlightenment Lotus Petal is indeed worthy of its reputation. Not only is it rich in fragrance, but after taking a few sips, I feel a sense of enlightenment. It's as if the Great Dao of the world is right before my eyes, and I'm about to ascend to immortality." Mo Qing Fu's eyes were hazy, and his entire body was exuding a strange fragrance. It was as if he was about to ascend to heaven.
Tang Thirteen was the same. Her pale and delicate face was full of intoxication. She gulped down the tea without any hint of a lady's demeanor. It didn't look like she was tasting tea, but more like she was drinking water – water that was worthless.
"The Petal of Enlightenment. Even my father doesn't have many. Once, I saw him carefully brew a cup. I asked him for one, but he only let me take a small sip. This is infuriating." Tang Thirteen mumbled. She squinted her watery eyes and appeared to be enjoying herself. "Hehe, I have so many Petal of Enlightenment now. I can drink it while sitting, standing, or lying down. I can drink it however I want. This is infuriating."
"I can even drink a cup and pour a cup. Hehe, if my father sees this, he will puke blood from anger." Tang Thirteen snickered mischievously. It was as if she was looking forward to her father witnessing this extravagant scene.
"If your father sees this, he will puke blood from anger. But before he pukes blood, he will probably beat you up." Shui Lian Yi's skin was creamy and her eyebrows were like a painting. Her red lips sipped on the tea of enlightenment in her cup. Paired with the picturesque scenery around her, she was like a fairy who was out of this world. She was extraordinary and out of this world.
"Hehe, my father doesn't have the heart to beat me up." Tang Thirteen retorted. However, her voice was as soft as a mosquito's and her guilty expression made it obvious that she was lying.
"Thirteen, others don't know you, but do you think I don't? Uncle loves you a lot, but he is always strict with you. If he sees you wasting the tea, he will definitely beat you up. "Shui Lian Yi grinned. Mo Qing Fu, who was beside her, couldn't help but chuckle.
Every cultivator in Yunzhou knew what kind of person Crazy Tang was. He loved Tang Thirteen and cared for her a lot. However, he was training Tang Thirteen to be the next Clan Leader. Therefore, he was very strict with her and often spanked his daughter's butt.
However, after every spanking, this man, who was famous in Yunzhou, would always apologize to Tang Thirteen. Then, he would treat her like an ancestor and treat her with all sorts of food and toys.
This was also a joke among the cultivators of the Cloud State.
"Let's hit him. I'm not scared of him. After all, he still has to coax me. Then, I can let him hit me to vent his anger." Tang Thirteen's eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she smiled proudly.
Shui Lian Yi shook her head and suddenly remembered something. She frowned and asked, "Right, Thirteen, tell me the truth. Did you sneak out to the Vast Expanse?"
"How is that possible? The Clan sent me here to steal the fortune. " Tang Thirteen's eyes were avoiding eye contact. She lowered her head and drank her tea. Looking at her guilty expression, anyone could tell she was lying.
"You don't even tell me the truth." Shui Lian Yi extended a finger and poked Tang Thirteen's forehead. She smiled bitterly, "If I remember correctly, Uncle Tang has grounded you. Before you break through to the foundational level, you are not allowed to leave the Tang Clan. Now, you sneaked out. I bet when we leave the ruins, the first person we see will be your father."
"If he comes, then so be it. I am not afraid of him," Tang Thirteen mumbled.
"Crazy Tang, no, Uncle Tang will come …" Mo Qing Fu randomly mentioned the nickname of the current leader of the Tang Clan. However, after Tang Thirteen glared at him, he quickly changed it to Uncle Tang. With a smile, he stared at the doll-like little girl and said, "Thirteen, you better pray for your own good. If that person comes to the Vast Mountains in anger, I'm afraid you won't be able to avoid some physical pain."
"What … what should I do?" Tang Thirteen rested her chin on her hand and sighed in distress.
"Whatever, let's not talk about this." Mo Qing Fu grinned and shifted his gaze to Ling Xian, who was standing under the waterfall. "How long do you think it will take for him to break through to the foundational level?"
