"Clear Spring Peak disciple Mo Tiange, Lord Daoist Jinghe's registered disciple, advanced to the Foundation Building realm at the age of 23."
After recording these words in the disciple register, the Foundation Building cultivator in charge of the school administration handed her a jade tablet and said with a smile, "Congratulations on advancing to the Foundation Building realm, Junior Martial Sister Mo. This is your new tablet."
Mo Tiange took it and said politely, "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother."
The Foundation Building cultivator explained in detail, "Since Junior Martial Sister advanced to the Foundation Building realm, you can change the tools in your Immortal's Cave. However, you're Grandmaster Jinghe's registered disciple, so your Immortal's Cave isn't managed by the steward's hall. Junior Martial Sister, please ask your master about this matter.
As for the tools, you can get them together. Junior Martial Sister, take the tablet and go to the back hall to find Steward Lu. "
"Thank you."
Mo Tiange went to the back hall, found a steward, and took some clothes and tools before leaving the steward's hall.
Holding the Foundation Building disciple's tablet, Mo Tiange looked up at the sky and felt like she was dreaming.
Even with three Foundation-Building Pills, she wasn't sure she could build her foundation. She just tried her best with faith, and fortunately, she succeeded.
With her spiritual aura circulating, her body seemed weightless and she flew steadily in the air.
Aura Refining disciples could only use light body techniques and some spirit tools that could increase their speed. They couldn't use flying magic tools or fly for long periods of time, so they were only a bit stronger than mortals.
Foundation Building cultivators, on the other hand, had enough spiritual aura to operate flying magic tools and fly in the air — no wonder people said foundation building was the real threshold of cultivation. Because riding a sword and flying thousands of miles in a flash was the real means of immortals.
A cool breeze blew in her face, and the mountains and rivers were all in her sight.
She stood in the air and thought, If Second Uncle knew, he'd be very happy, right?
She finally built her foundation and crossed the threshold of cultivation. In the future, she would walk step by step until she reached the Core Formation realm, the Nascent Soul realm, and even ascended … Although she didn't know which step she could reach, she would persist until the last moment.
With a faint smile, she slowly flew back to her cave.
As soon as she came out of her Closed Door Meditation in her cave, she saw Qin Xi. When she found out she actually spent more than two years in Closed Door Meditation, and when she learned she actually triggered a celestial phenomenon similar to core-formation, she was even more shocked.
She really didn't think her Foundation Building could be compared to Core Formation. Aside from the longer time it took, there was no other difference in the process. After she built her Foundation Building, the spiritual aura inside her body also didn't have any abnormalities, so how could it have triggered celestial phenomena?
It should be noted that only those who advanced to the Core Formation stage or above could trigger celestial phenomena. Those who advanced to the Foundation Building stage could, at most, cause some fluctuations of spiritual energy.
Qin Xi just told her not to think too much about it. Martial Uncle Xuanyin happened to be in Closed Door Meditation these past few days, so she had to deal with some chores first and wait for Martial Uncle Xuanyin to finish his Closed Door Meditation before going to see him.
Mo Tiange changed her identity tablet, took a new set of sect clothes and some foundation-building rewards. She also thanked Ye Jingwen and Luo Fengxue for taking care of her for the past two years before returning to her cave.
In any case, it was a fact that she had reached the Foundation Building stage. She should properly think about some matters in the future.
The first problem was the cultivation method.
She originally practiced the Art of Sunu and Green-Wood Art. Although Green-Wood Art could be practiced until the Core Formation realm, it was very difficult for it to display its full power against Foundation Building cultivators. Her purpose in practicing Green-Wood Art was to make up for the Art of Sunu's lack of power in fights of magical powers, so she might as well give up on it.
However, if she gave up on the Green-Wood Spell, she would have to learn a new divine power to use in fights of magical powers.
The second problem was magic tools.
Aura Refining cultivators used spirit tools while Foundation Building cultivators used magic tools. Compared to spirit tools, magic tools were usually ten times more powerful. Now that she had built her foundation, she naturally had to change all her spirit tools into magic tools.
In fact, she also had a lot of magic tools. Most of them were left behind by Second Uncle. Some of them were awarded to her by Grandmaster Jinghe and Martial Uncle Shoujing before she built her foundation. The other two magic tools were the Heaven and Earth Cloud-Silk Armor and the Land-Fleeing Ruler. When she left Mount Yunwu, Qin Xi stole them in passing and gave them to her.
However, although she had a lot of magic tools, most of them were auxiliary and defensive types. Second Uncle's magic tools weren't suitable for her, so she could only look for other magic tools.
In addition, her Qiankun Bag still contained the carcass of the second rank Iron-Teethed Crocodile she killed in Yunwu. In the future, she could take it and ask someone to make it into a magic tool.
The last problem was medicinal pills.
Foundation Building medicinal pills weren't as easy to obtain as Aura Refining medicinal pills. Even though she was now an elite disciple, it was still impossible for her to eat them like before.
Before she could figure out how to solve this problem, Luo Fengxue told her that Martial Uncle Xuanyin already came out of his Closed Door Meditation. Mo Tiange temporarily put these matters aside and went to see him first.
Upon entering Martial Uncle Xuanyin's Immortal's Cave, Mo Tiange discovered that this time, everyone was present. Not only were the two senior martial sisters present, but several senior martial brothers were also present. These senior martial brothers were very diligent in their cultivation. Mo Tiange had been at Xuanqing School for a long time, but she still hadn't met some of them.
"Disciple Mo Tiange greets Martial Uncle Xuanyin."
Master Daoist Xuanyin was still smiling. He raised his hand and said, "Stand up."
Mo Tiange stood up and said respectfully, "Disciple finished building her foundation and came to report to Martial Uncle."
Master Daoist Xuanyin nodded with a smile. "I already know.
You're very good. Come forward and let me take a look. "
"Yes."
Mo Tiange walked forward. Master Daoist Xuanyin reached out and held her pulse. A wisp of spiritual aura instantly entered her body and examined her meridians one by one.
After a long time, Master Daoist Xuanyin released her hand with a slight frown on his face.
Mo Tiange, who was a bit worried, asked cautiously, "Martial Uncle, is there a problem?"
Master Daoist Xuanyin shook his head and said, "There's no problem; there's no problem at all.
You already know about the phenomenon that occurred when you built your foundation, right? "
"Yes."
"Then, did you feel it yourself?"
Mo Tiange shook her head. "Disciple lost consciousness after that. I basically didn't know it took me two years."
"So that's what happened …" Master Daoist Xuanyin pondered for a moment but didn't say anything. He said to her, "Let's talk about this later."
"Yes." Seeing that Martial Uncle Xuanyin had something to deal with, Mo Tiange obediently stood to the side without saying anything else.
"Qingyu."
Upon hearing her name being called, Han Qingyu stood up and said, "Master."
"This is an important matter. Take several junior martial brothers and sisters with you. If there's nothing, that's fine. If there's something, quickly come back and report to me."
"I understand, Master."
Master Daoist Xuanyin then turned towards the other disciples. He stroked his beard and muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "Shinan, Qifeng, Xiyue, the three of you follow eldest martial sister."
"Yes, Master."
"Alright, you can all go back.
Tiange, you stay. "
"Yes, Martial Uncle."
As she watched her fellow disciples leaving one by one, Mo Tiange muttered inwardly. Could it be that something big happened?
Martial Uncle Xuanyin actually sent four disciples at once?
She didn't have much time to think because Master Daoist Xuanyin already said to her, "Tiange, although you're not my disciple, you respect me as your master. Now that you've built your foundation, Martial Uncle will naturally give you some rewards."
Mo Tiange said, "Disciple was able to build my foundation thanks to Martial Uncle's guidance. I don't dare to ask for any rewards."
Master Daoist Xuanyin stroked his beard and said with a smile, "You don't need to refuse. Every disciple who builds their foundation will get a reward, not just you."
After pondering for a moment, he continued to say, "Let me ask you, is the cultivation technique you practice inferior in fights of magical power after building your foundation?"
Mo Tiange was slightly shocked. As expected of a Core Formation cultivator. She hadn't even said anything, but he already sensed it.
She answered, "Yes, Martial Uncle's eyes are like torches. I practice two cultivation techniques. One of them is beneficial for cultivation, but it doesn't have any great divine power. As for the other one, its power is greatly reduced after building my foundation."
Master Daoist Xuanyin nodded slightly and stood up. "That being the case, I'll pick a cultivation technique for you. Come with me."
"Yes, Martial Uncle."
Mo Tiange followed Master Daoist Xuanyin out of the hall. After making many turns and passing through some restrictions, they finally entered a small collection room.
As soon as they entered the collection room, Mo Tiange saw several wooden shelves with many books, Jade Slips, and the like on them.
Master Daoist Xuanyin said, "Martial Uncle has never seen a female cultivator with a Pure Yin Constitution, so I don't know the characteristics of the cultivation technique you practice. I can't pick the most suitable cultivation technique for you, so I can only pick a few roughly."
Mo Tiange lowered her head and said, "Martial Uncle is so attentive. Disciple is overwhelmed by the favor."
Master Daoist Xuanyin had a very good impression of this junior's politeness, so he didn't say anything more. After pondering for a while, he picked several books and Jade Slips and handed them to her. "Take a look. What do you think of these?"
Mo Tiange took them and carefully looked at them. These were all cultivation techniques for fights of magical power. They didn't require special cultivation and didn't have high requirements for spiritual roots. However, the shortcoming was that they weren't very powerful and would be useless once one reached the Core Formation realm.
Nevertheless, since this martial uncle put them in the collection room, they certainly weren't ordinary cultivation techniques. The most important thing was that they were suitable for her.
Mo Tiange hesitated for a while before she raised her head and asked, "Martial Uncle Xuanyin, do you have any cultivation techniques that can be used with magic tools?
Disciple feels that if we only talk about power, perhaps that one would be a bit stronger. "
Master Daoist Xuanyin nodded. "What you said is very reasonable. Regarding magic tools, Junior Martial Brother Shoujing asked me to give them to you. Since you asked, I'll give them to you first."
As he spoke, Master Daoist Xuanyin took out an object from his Qiankun Bag and held it in his hand. "This object is called the Shuttle of Flying Apsara. It's a shapeshifting object and contains an Illusory Formation. However, using this object isn't a cultivation technique but a formation. Since you're good at formations, I presume it's suitable for you."
Mo Tiange took a closer look at the Shuttle of Flying Apsara. The Shuttle of Flying Apsara had two pointed ends and was made of an unknown material. Although it was only the size of a palm, it was brimming with spiritual aura, so it was certainly not an ordinary object.
Master Daoist Xuanyin gave the Shuttle of Flying Apsara and a Jade Slip to her. "Although you have this object, you still have to choose a cultivation technique for fights of magical powers. Otherwise, if you rely too much on magic tools, you'll be at the mercy of others.
How about this? Martial Uncle will make the decision on your behalf. This Soul-Refining Art cultivates the primordial spirit, so it's extremely powerful. I originally thought this technique was difficult to practice and wasn't suitable for you, but since you're determined to cultivate magic tools first, I'll give it to you to practice slowly.
This cultivation technique isn't easy to practice and can easily lead to cultivation deviation, so I don't dare to give it to other disciples. However, since you have a Pure Yin Constitution, the chances of you suffering from cultivation deviation are lower than others, so presumably, it won't be too big of a problem. "
"Yes, Martial Uncle." Mo Tiange accepted the other cultivation technique Master Daoist Xuanyin gave her. After skimming through it, she was immediately overjoyed.
This cultivation technique clearly stated that one could only practice it after they built their foundation. Moreover, it could be practiced until the Nascent Soul realm. It was a high-level cultivation technique. If she practiced it diligently, it would definitely become her trump card.
After leading Mo Tiange out of the collection room, Master Daoist Xuanyin gave her a flying sword and a bottle of medicinal pills. He said, "Since your Martial Uncle Shoujing already gave you magic tools, I'll give you a flying sword.
As for this medicinal pill, it's a Soul-Strengthening Pill for Foundation Building cultivators. It's your disciple's portion, one bottle every year.
Foundation Building medicinal pills are much rarer than Aura Refining medicinal pills, so I hope you treasure them well. "
