Chapter 48 Scripture Pavilion Second Floor

  A few days later, a white figure appeared in front of the gate of Danfeng Sect. He carefully looked around and saw no one following him, then entered the mountain gate.

  "Finally back."

  The young man in white gazed at the already darkened sky, let out a long sigh, and then headed towards his own courtyard.

  This man was Wang Fei, who had been rushing for several days and returned to the mountain gate.

  This time out, I originally only wanted to buy a mid-grade foundation-building method, but unexpectedly encountered the Xianmeng Sect's people attacking the disciples of Jingxian Valley on the way. By mistake, I killed the Xu brothers and not only obtained a high-grade foundation-building method and a low-grade spiritual instrument, but also got news from Dongtan Wasteland.

  So he had to go to the Wenchuang Pavilion first, Wang Fei's footsteps paused for a moment, and after thinking about it, he decided to return to the courtyard to rest for a night and go again the next day.

  ……

  In the practice room, in front of Wang Fei was a dan furnace emitting rising smoke and mist.

  Wang Fei sat cross-legged on the couch, with a large pile of spiritual crystals in front of him. To his left were several magical artifacts and two damaged maps. His hands held a jade tube and a simple wooden ruler.

  The one on the left is "Xian Xiao Jue", a foundational middle-level gong method, and the one on the right is "Xian Wang Bian", a foundational high-level gong method.

  This time out, the harvest was bountiful, with 2,000 third-grade spirit crystals, 15 second-grade spirit crystals, one low-grade spirit device, the Foundation Establishment Technique, and a portion of the residual map from Dongtan's desolate outskirts.

  According to Lu Jiao'er, the Dongtan wilderness is vast in area and has many restrictive arrays inside. Many cultivators have lost their lives due to insufficient protective treasures or unfamiliarity with the terrain, making the map of this wilderness an important factor for safe entry and exit.

  But the problem is that no one has a complete map, so you need to go to other sects or some scattered cultivators to collect and exchange.

  Wang Fei had two of them in his hand. One was Lin Feng's, and the other one was naturally taken from Lu Jiaoer by Xu Cong.

  Apart from this, Wang Fei's greatest gain was obtaining a wood attribute spiritual root. With this, he would be able to absorb Qiu Xian Shi's earth spiritual root.

  After finishing this time's harvest, Wang Fei shifted his gaze to the manual in his hand.

  "Xian Xiao Jue", "Xian Wang Bian"...... After muttering to himself for a while, King Fei's eyes became sharp.

  In terms of kung fu, high-level kung fu is more difficult to cultivate than mid-level kung fu. However, the mysterious and advanced kung fu in the hands of seniors requires ordinary mid-to-high level kung fu as a foundation to cultivate, and the better the foundation, the higher the achievement will be.

  Then, after a moment of contemplation, Wang Fei put down the Xian Xiao Jue and stared at Xian Wang, saying firmly: "Since you've chosen to cultivate the Dao, you must see it through to the end!"

  After making up his mind, Wang Fei stretched and fell asleep. He had been busy with things for days.

  ……

  In a palace in the Northern Mansion, a man with a majestic long gown and piercing eyes gazed towards the distant north. Beside him stood a slender, sallow-faced man.

  The man crouched at the feet of the gentleman in the long gown, with a flattering attitude, said: "Young master, you have accumulated enough wealth, why haven't you started building the foundation yet?"

  "Hmph, you know nothing. If I were to lay my foundation, it would only be the most basic initial stage of laying the foundation. But if I were to cultivate with Yao Shu who possesses the 'Tian Qing Yu Ti', I could directly enter the later stage of laying the foundation. Even forming the elixir would be easy and effortless."

  "Moreover, five years later will be the opening of the Dongtan wilderness. If it reaches the foundation period, it cannot pass through the prohibition set by the Huashen cultivator, isn't that a loss?"

  The man in the long shirt looked at his servant with a cold gaze and snorted disdainfully.

  "That's right, young master is far-sighted, I'm far from comparable!" The thin man beside him immediately said with a flattering face.

  "But now that you mention it, I seem to recall that three years ago, there was a guy who didn't blink, and he caused me to lose quite a few precious spirit crystals..." Suddenly, the man in the long shirt seemed to think of something, and lowered his head in contemplation.

  "Wang Fei, I remember now! That man's name is Wang Fei!" A moment later, the man in the long gown suddenly lifted his head, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

  "Master, since that man has displeased you, then just...," he said, making a throat-slitting gesture.

  "Hmph, just a small fry, wait till I establish my foundation in Dongtan's wilderness and then I'll deal with him. Let him live for a few more years first. By the way, how is the family?"

  "Heh heh, young master, rest assured. The old ancestor has just successfully condensed the fetus not long ago. So, this time, the little one came to urge you to hurry up and implement your plan."

  "This requires long-term planning, Danfeng Sect is not comparable to other small sects in Yan Country. Over the years, I've been feeling that something is off about this situation. This matter can only be discussed after I reach the Foundation stage. You go back first."

  "Yes!"

  ……

  The next day, Wang Fei got up early and hurriedly came to Jingwen Pavilion.

  Upon arriving at Jingwen Pavilion, several early-stage disciples of Lingyue came up to greet him. After all, Wang Fei was a mid-term cultivator of Lingyue, and those with lower cultivation naturally showed great respect.

  Nodding his head and responding with a few sounds, Wang Fei went straight to the second floor of Jingwen Pavilion.

  The second layer requires passing through a transmission array. Above the transmission array is a talisman that needs to be infused with divine consciousness in order to activate it.

  It will be necessary in the middle of the spiritual overflow.

  Wang Fei didn't say another word and stepped into the formation, directly injecting his divine consciousness.

  "Rumble!"

  As a loud noise rang out, the transmission array emitted a golden light, and Wang Fei's figure disappeared on the spot. The next moment, he appeared on the transmission array of the second floor pavilion.

  The light converged, and Wang Fei saw that on the edge, there were densely packed rows of various jade slips, which were more than half again as rich as the first layer.

  With a casual glance, Wang Fei arrived at the map area, his own location, and took down the next jade tube, which was engraved with the four characters "Dongtan Huangjiao".

  Wang Fei inserted his divine consciousness and found the contents of Dongtan's desolate suburbs.

  Dongtan wilderness, as mentioned earlier, is located in the easternmost wilderness area of Yan State, spanning across 100,000 mountains, with a vast territory. There are many spiritual medicines and spiritual crystals inside, and it is said that there are also ancient Daoist traditions, but these are just rumors, because no one has ever obtained them.

  Firstly, let's talk about the spiritual medicine. Due to the depletion of the Spiritual Realm over the years, most of the materials needed to refine the "Divine Transformation Pill" from the Embryonic Stage to the Divine Transformation Stage have already disappeared on the ordinary continent. Only by going to those more mysterious or still primitive primeval forests can one be lucky enough to find one or two. As for the materials needed to refine the pill from the Divine Transformation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, they are even harder to come by.

  The path of cultivation is a journey from Ling Yu to Zhu Ji, then to Jin Dan, Ning Ying, Hua Shen, and even the subsequent Chu Kong, Tuo Tai, which is a process filled with hardship and danger.

  If the three realms before Jindan, Lingyuan, Zhugong and Jindan can be reached after long-term efforts, then the later stages of Huashen, Chutou and even Duotai will have to rely on some external forces and mental enlightenment.

  For example, the tribulation that needs to be passed through from Lingyuan to Jindan is like a mortal crossing a small stream, which can be done with just a little effort. However, the tribulation from Ningying to Taitu is like a mortal trying to cross a wide river without any tools or boats, relying solely on oneself, and it's fundamentally impossible to achieve.

  It can be said that from the Jindan period, wanting to break through the cultivation bottleneck is becoming increasingly difficult. Dan medicine has become the primary choice for breaking through this lock, but due to countless years and countless cultivators' cultivation, a large number of spiritual herbs will inevitably be collected to refine these breakthrough dan medicines, causing these medicinal materials to be consumed completely.

  Some precious medicinal herbs are hard to find again, just like the Baiye Julingcao that Wang Fei asked about last time, which is a kind of extinct herb. However, according to the Yu Tong Jian, someone once found it in the eastern suburbs of Dongtan.

  Seeing this, Wang Fei was overjoyed.

  But continuing on, Wang Fei felt it was a bit tricky.
