Chapter 224: Chapter 185: Auspicious Signs of Foundation Establishment

The Sect Leader of the Yuehua Sect bowed deeply, the heavy fruit hanging low, making it seem even more abundant and enticing. Noticing Lu Qian’s gaze, Bai Ling’s neck flushed with a crimson hue, yet she pressed down further, the bountiful fruit swaying, drawing much attention.

The disciples of the Yuehua Sect also followed by bowing, and most of them were female disciples.

Lu Qian nodded indifferently, "Sect Leader Bai, there is no need for such courtesy. Junior Brother Zheng should have informed you earlier; I am a true disciple of the Xuanguang Sect from Chongming County in Cangzhou. I have come to Bailu Mountain to borrow the land for Foundation Establishment."

Bai Ling quickly smiled and said, "It is indeed the fortune of the Yuehua Sect that Bailu Mountain can serve as the place for a fellow Daoist from an Upper Sect to establish their foundation. Please feel free to use it."

Her display of humility made Lu Qian feel a bit dazed.

It turns out that today, the Yunshan Sect can already openly use its power to oppress others.

It seems that the Yuehua Sect hasn’t made much progress in these years. If I were to lead fifty elite members with ill intentions, they wouldn’t even have the ability to resist and would be wiped out before having the chance to ask the Qingling Sect for help. Therefore, they are full of fear.

Moreover, with the exterior of a Golden Core Sect, all they can do is look up, which is why this Sect Leader Bai even seems to have a hint of trying to win favor with her beauty.

This is the lament of small sects.

As the Yunshan Sect continues to grow, more sects will bow under its banner.

However, since this woman could become the Sect Leader, she surely must have a calculating mind, and beauty is just another of her weapons. She shouldn’t be underestimated too much.

"Then I thank Sect Leader Bai for your kindness," Lu Qian decided to maintain the persona of a lofty and aloof true disciple of a major sect, his voice lacking fluctuation, "How much land rent gold does Sect Leader Bai desire?"

Bai Ling was cautious, trying to see Lu Qian’s expression, but Lu Qian’s face was firmly obscured by clouds, revealing nothing, making her even more cautious: "To be able to assist a fellow Daoist from an Upper Sect brings honor to everyone in the Yuehua Sect, so why discuss land rent gold? It’s just..."

A hint of trouble appeared on her lovely face, seemingly quite sincere, "Fellow Daoist Qi, you are a true disciple of a Golden Core Major Sect. I cannot conceal this and must report it to the supervising Golden Core Sect in Quyang County, the Qingling Sect."

Lu Qian sneered inwardly, knowing that her words were also a kind of warning. He coldly retorted, "Our Xuanguang Sect despises claiming petty advantages. We shall pay a thousand spirit stones. Make sure to report it to the Qingling Sect at once. I need to prepare for Foundation Establishment fully—no interruptions midway!"

Lu Qian’s fearless and coldly arrogant attitude only made Bai Ling more obsequious. Not only did it affirm his identity as a disciple of a major sect, but casually offering a thousand spirit stones far surpassed her sect’s annual income, which was truly surprising.

Moreover, aside from the spirit stones, if she could take this opportunity to associate with such a Golden Core Major Sect, that would be the greatest gain.

At once, her attitude became even more attentive, flying forward to lead the way, her waist swaying, her figure enticing, frequently engaging in conversation, to which Lu Qian responded sporadically. The female disciples of the Yuehua Sect exchanged glances and boldly appraised these "Upper Sect Cultivators" with decent cultivation, giggling and whispering amongst themselves.

The Sky Ray flapped its wings, flying through the Mountain Protection Grand Array of Bailu Mountain. With a mental sweep, Lu Qian knew it was an ordinary Four Symbols Exorcism Formation, with mid-stage Qi Cultivation level spiritual pressure. With his current array cultivation, if the Yuehua Sect didn’t have an array cultivator controlling the formation, breaking it would be effortless.

Upon entering the mountain gate, at a glance, the small square, the small council hall, and the architectural layout were all unremarkable.

The only difference was that Lu Qian felt his spiritual mechanism continuously fluctuating, torrents of spiritual power surging uncontrollably.

Bailu Mountain, here, is my Foundation Establishment land!

The Sky Ray cried out, its ethereal voice echoing throughout the entire Bailu Mountain. The disciples of the Yuehua Sect, hearing the commotion, gathered and looked up, pointing and discussing the large shadow cast by the massive Sky Ray.

Lu Qian’s divine sense swept over, confirming there were indeed fewer than forty cultivators here, only half above mid-stage Qi Cultivation, and was this sect primarily composed of female cultivators? The male disciples numbered only a few.

The Yuehua Sect, could it be that this sect’s secret techniques are more suitable for women to practice?

Bai Ling gracefully descended, sternly instructing the disciples to disperse and not offend the distinguished guest. However, these chattering female cultivators merely laughed and retreated a few steps, crowding together. Their fluttering hair and fragrant winds dazzled many of the Shuangye Alliance cultivators.

This mountain gate area was small, with no place for the Sky Ray to land, so Lu Qian had to instruct the beast taming cultivator to park the Sky Ray outside the grand array and find a place at the back mountain. This Sky Ray was booked by Lu Qian at great expense, and it would be under his control for this period.

He himself then led the disciples off the Sky Ray, descending onto the square.

Just at the moment when Lu Qian stepped onto the land of Bailu Mountain, he suddenly felt his divine sense surge wildly, his whole body trembling with spiritual power, and the spirit vein in the mountain seemed to respond, emitting a high-pitched buzzing sound like a dragon and a tiger, shaking the wilderness.

Subsequently, rushing spiritual energy soared into the sky, forming a long rainbow across the sky, which all poured into Lu Qian’s body. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Tiger’s roar, dragon’s chant, rainbow chasing the sun!" Bai Ling’s beautiful eyes widened with admiration and envy, "Such a phenomenon, I have never seen before. Truly a disciple of a prestigious sect; upon entering a Foundation Establishment Treasure Land, such a phenomenon is triggered. This Foundation Establishment is bound to be effortless."

Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment, is to establish the Foundation of the Great Dao. Only by comprehending the Dao Rhyme and inscribing the Dao Pattern can one truly step into a Daoist Sect, beginning the exploration and understanding of the Three Thousand Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, the acupoint of Foundation Establishment is more crucial from a certain perspective than the later Core Formation and Fetus, as Celestial-Human Communication will be very prominent, accompanied by various sensings and wondrous phenomena throughout the Foundation Establishment process. Subsequent breakthroughs in major realms like Core Formation will be less complex.

The mysterious destiny guides the treasure land and auspicious timing. Upon arriving at the treasure land, a response is instantly born, and one can resonate with the treasure land. This resonance is hierarchical; the higher the level, the more of a fit with this treasure land, increasing the likelihood of successful Foundation Establishment.

The lowest is spiritual light; the top four resonances are tiger’s roar and dragon’s chant, clouds and mist rising, rainbow chasing the sun, and golden lotus emerging from the ground.

Today, Lu Qian alone accounted for two!

This suggests that Lu Qian is extremely compatible with Bailu Mountain, and Foundation Establishment is naturally favored by the land and would proceed smoothly.

Tan Hong also clearly remembered the records in the Yunshan Sect’s scriptures that only the founding ancestor, Master Yeyang, once had the phenomenon of tiger’s roar and dragon’s chant before his Foundation Establishment. None of the subsequent Foundation Establishment seniors could invoke a top phenomenon, and now Lu Qian had invoked two!

In this aspect, Lu Qian had already surpassed Master Yeyang.

Tan Hong felt incredibly excited, so the Sect Leader could also smoothly achieve the Golden Core in the future, leading Yunshan Sect to continuously expand and attain achievements far beyond the predecessors. With the Sect Leader, it is truly the fortune of Yunshan!

Under the astonished gazes of the Shuangye Alliance cultivators, spiritual light flickered around Lu Qian, and the tide of spiritual energy pushed those nearby back several feet. He only felt the acupoints throughout his body resonating, the black and white dual spiritual root in his dantian expanding to its maximum. If not for restraining it, it would naturally blossom into a spirit bud.

But now is not the time to open the spirit bud.

Having the advantage of the land, one naturally waits for the timing.

The spirit vein of Bailu Mountain vibrated, resonating with his spiritual root, and mysterious information transmitted through their mutual resonance.

Lu Qian opened his eyes. The auspicious time for my Foundation Establishment lies in the early morning two days from now!
