In fifteen months, he could marry a wife and make a baby; he could go to a county to compete for a literary prize; he could run a business and make a lot of money … But for a cultivator, fifteen months was not enough!
He still set his sights on the Gobi. As he expected, the Red Line Alliance only lasted for a few months before disbanding. It fell apart half a year ago, which led to a large-scale internal strife. No one knew who won or lost. The only thing that was known was that the Gobi became the world of individual cultivators from then on. No one was in charge of an organization anymore.
The main reason why they had come to this point was that the red thread worm resources in the center of the Gobi Desert had almost withered, making it unprofitable. Even if they wasted a lot of time and energy, they would not gain much, so it was better to use other methods to obtain resources.
There were still cultivators, but they were all at the beginning of the journey of Taoism. For them, the White Sand Worms were acceptable. The Gobi Desert slowly returned to its usual calmness.
Lou Xiaoyi had considered whether or not he should leave the capital and go to the famous mountains to seek inspiration. However, this was not a real world of advanced Cultivators. In his few trips, he had mostly seen the mortal world and the mountains and rivers. In terms of spiritual vigor, it was not even as pure as the desolate Gobi Desert.
The key was that he did not have much time. He did not have the time to pray for a flash of inspiration while searching. Moreover, such an anxious attitude was not suitable for a journey of Taoism.
A real journey of Taoism should be aimless. He should go with the flow and leisurely. He should spend a decade or even a decade to explore the mountains and rivers of this world, not search for something for the sake of it!
Therefore, Lou Xiaoyi felt that if he really had a Lucky Chance, it must still be in the Gobi Desert. It could only be here.
He began to wander aimlessly in the Gobi Desert. Sometimes, he would find a place where he could feel something and cultivate for a few days. Then, he would continue to wander. Sometimes, he would fight with cultivators he did not like in the Gobi Desert. However, he did not kill them. Low-level cultivators were no challenge to him.
Lou Xiaoyi had also encountered several sandstorms, and one of them was a huge sandstorm that only occurred once in a few decades. This made Lou Xiaoyi very excited. He did his best to run, cultivate, comprehend, and shout in the huge sandstorm …
He used all kinds of methods, and some nearby cultivators even thought that he had lost his mind from cultivation. However, he didn't care and continued to do as he pleased. However, the result was embarrassing. After tossing and turning, other than drinking a mouthful of yellow sand, he didn't do anything!
The ball of spiritual vigor in his dantian remained the same. It did not move in the slightest, nor did it show any signs of impatience. No matter how hard he tried, how he tried to guide it, or how he hinted at it, it simply ignored him!
Still water ripples!
When you feel that you need time, time will fly by quickly; when you have nothing to do, time will be as slow as a snail. This is the selectivity of time. Under different moods, the flow of time seems to be different?
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. Lou Xiaoyi returned to the Earth Cliff Cave that he was most familiar with. He only had three months left!
In his plan, boarding the flying boat to leave this low-level cultivation world was not his goal, but his last resort!
Because before that, he needed to do one thing, and that was to seek justice for his mother and Aunt Cai!
If he could successfully build his foundation, even if he couldn't stay in this cultivation world because of the King Slayer, he would still have the opportunity to board the flying boat and leave. This would be the most perfect result!
If he couldn't build his foundation, he would still do it. He had waited for seven years, and he didn't want to wait until they died of old age!
However, he wasn't sure if he could succeed. Once he did it, he couldn't leave this cultivation world. He was afraid that he would be a typical case of breaking the relationship between cultivators and mortals. Then, he would be hunted down by the entire cultivation world.
He would definitely die!
It didn't matter. He just wanted to accompany his mother and Aunt Cai. He didn't care!
The gains and losses of life had never been his first consideration. He didn't know where this bad habit came from.
Sitting on the cliff, he didn't want to run around anymore! Where could he run to in three months? It was better to go to Zhaoye City earlier and find out the emperor's schedule. It was more practical to arrange activities!
Sitting here and looking back on his short life, he had gained and lost half.
Well, he had stepped into the cultivation world and opened up a new world!
Lost, his family had left, and he was alone. From then on, there was no one in this world who really cared about him!
He was just a lonely soul who had drifted alone in the universe for so many years that he couldn't even count how long it had been! Therefore, while he was used to being alone, he also especially longed for care!
His mother and Aunt Cai gave him this, so that he wouldn't be lonely in these ten years, and let his cold heart feel warm and alive again!
But he was destined to be lonely. Before, he had wandered in the universe, and after that, he would travel alone. Whether it was in the human world or returning to the state of a lonely soul in the universe, there didn't seem to be much difference!
Only these ten years were the happiest! If everything went well, it might be more than ten years!
Someone had taken away his happy time! Maybe it was a few years, maybe a year, but even if it was only a few days, he couldn't tolerate it!
He didn't do it before because his mother was there. He couldn't run around the world without his mother's permission!
But now, there was no reason to ignore it. If he didn't do it well, he wouldn't be able to live a normal life, let alone cultivate!
He was such a temperamental person!
He didn't want to change!
Was there any other way? There didn't seem to be!
As for how to sense the foundation, this was a problem that had troubled the cultivation world for countless years. It had been like this since the beginning of cultivation!
Needless to say, those who could build their foundation were all people with great luck. Then, there was the Foundation Establishment Pill. But even if one swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill, it didn't mean that the pill clouds would turn into rain. Most cultivators would feel the same as if they had swallowed an ordinary pill with enough nourishment, and there wouldn't be any qualitative changes.
You would never know when, where, and how you would build your foundation!
There was no way to arrange a definite schedule for this.
He thought about the possible situations in his mind again, but there was no other way!
He looked through all the items in the storage ring again. There … no, there was still a Foundation Establishment Pill left over from the foot soaking!
Lou Xiaoyi smiled. Mother, if I try using the foot soaking pill, will you bless me in heaven? Just like how you would do every time your son got into trouble?
Of course, he knew that this was just a joke. But when you were at the end of your rope, jokes seemed to have value!
That pill had been soaked in the foot soaking water for nearly a month. During this time, Lou Xiaoyi had constantly used the spiritual opportunity to stimulate the medicinal efficacy. How much medicinal efficacy was left? Twenty percent? Ten percent? This was probably a lot. There was only one possibility, and that was that it was a complete waste pill!
The key point was that this thing couldn't be divided into several parts. Its effect was in the whole. Even if it was missing ten percent, it would still be a waste pill in the shop. Its value would be greatly reduced, and only the value of the cost would be left.
Lou Xiaoyi wasn't treating a dead horse as a living horse. He was just using this method to remember his deceased relatives!
Mother's foot soaking pill, what was the point of keeping it? Eat it! It was eternal!
At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The desert was quiet, and the breeze didn't blow. Looking from afar, the big and small sandbags and sand dunes were like giant sleeping beasts, hibernating in the dusk!
Lou Xiaoyi sat cross-legged in the Spirit Gathering Formation. His body was upright, and his hands were flat, holding the foot soaking pill. He saluted the moon and teased.
"To victory!"
