Chapter 38: Yun Family's Cultivator (Three Updates, Seeking Bookmarks!)

  Lin Tianyang suddenly revealed a kind smile to Ma Liu, then patted his storage bag and the middle-grade tortoise shell shield appeared in his hand. He handed over the artifact in his hand to Ma Liu and said: "Ma Liu, later if that Cloud surname elder asks about me, just say I left the imperial palace and headed east, remember not to tell him I've already built my foundation!"

  Ma Liu looked at the tortoiseshell shield handed over by Lin Tianyang, and his heart was filled with excitement, but then he became worried again.

  Lin Tianyang saw his changing expression and knew that this person had been in the imperial palace for a long time, was skilled at handling matters, and it would be impossible to move him with just a mid-grade magic tool. So he simply patted his storage bag, and a Foundation Establishment Pill appeared in his hand.

  Ma Liu Yi looked at Zhu Ji Dan, his heart suddenly "thumping" and jumped up, looking at Lin Tian Yang's hand holding Zhu Ji Dan, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Lin senior, what is this?"

  Lin Tianyang smiled and said, "Ma Liu, you're almost fifty years old, right? Once you pass fifty, even if you use the Foundation Establishment Pill, the chances of establishing a foundation are slim. This pill in my hand might be your last chance in this lifetime. As long as you follow my instructions, this Foundation Establishment Pill will be yours. I've placed a restriction on this medicinal pill, which will disappear in three days. I think you're an intelligent person and should know what to do, right?"

  Ma Liu looked at Zhu Ji Dan, his face somewhat uncertain, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "Lin senior, rest assured, I have remembered everything you said."

  When he saw him receive the Zhu Ji Dan, Lin Tianyang's mouth corner revealed a hint of a smile. After he disappeared from his line of sight, he immediately headed towards the east side of the imperial palace.

  An hour later, Lin Tianyang arrived at a forest outside the capital city. After taking a look around, he patted his storage bag and inserted an array flag into the forest. As soon as Lin Tianyang cast a spell, the array flag flashed with spiritual light, and within its coverage area, a layer of white fog immediately rose up. Following that, three mechanical beasts were released by him, each having a mid-grade spirit stone pressed onto them. The three mechanical beasts then disappeared into the white fog together.

  Ma Liu made an effort to calm himself down before walking into the main hall of Qingxu Temple.

  In the grand hall, a man with a youthful face and white hair sat upright in the center, while more than ten Qi-refining cultivators stood on either side of him in two rows.

  Yun saw only Ma Liu enter, his expression unchanged, and asked: "Ma Liu, why have you come alone? Where are the inner disciples?"

  Ma Liu heard Yun Sui Feng's urgent inquiry, his heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth as he stepped forward to report: "Cloud... Cloud Senior, I've already gone to call him as you instructed, but the moment he heard your name, his face changed drastically, and then he ran away directly. I tried to hold him back, but couldn't!"

  Yun Feng heard this and sneered in his heart, then asked: "Where did he run to?"

  "Dongmen, I don't know where he went specifically!" Ma Liu replied with a quivering heart.

  Yun Feng's expression remained calm as he instructed, "Since he doesn't want to see me, then so be it. Zhang Shidi is still in seclusion and will come out in a few days, I won't meet with him either. Next, I'll also go into seclusion, don't disturb me unless necessary!"

  As soon as Yun Sui Feng said this, Ma Liu felt a lot more at ease.

  Yun was accustomed to seeing the low-ranking disciples' fearful faces when facing him, and Ma Liu's flustered appearance at this time did not arouse his suspicion. As soon as he returned to the house prepared for himself, he dismissed these low-ranking disciples and then performed a hiding technique, disappearing directly into the imperial palace.

  On a pitch-black night, in a forest outside the capital city, a spirit-seeking mouse suddenly burrowed out of the ground and let out a series of "squeaks". A man with a youthful face and white hair appeared beside the mouse, followed by a cold laugh: "Lin, you think hiding here will keep anyone from finding out?"

  He had barely finished speaking when a bolt of lightning suddenly shot towards Yun Ruofeng.

  Yun followed the wind and saw this disdainful smile, raised his hand, a shield of energy appeared in front of him, and the lightning struck the shield, immediately revealing the prototype of a cyan long gun.

  Yun grabbed the blue long spear with a cold smile, feeling slightly pleased in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and instantly activated his protective spiritual energy.

  Just as he ignited his protective spiritual energy, a cold light directly slashed to his back, breaking through the spiritual energy and slashing onto his upper back. Yun Feng directly fell forward and collapsed onto the ground.

  After falling to the ground, Yun Feng immediately rolled up and stood up, releasing a cyan long shield after which he shouted in surprise towards the direction of a large tree: "A mid-grade artifact can actually break through my protective spiritual energy, this is the power that only a Foundation Establishment cultivator can exert, who are you?"

  Since the sneak attack failed and he was discovered, Lin Tianyang directly walked out from behind the tree, looking at the young-faced and white-haired man and asked: "Can you tell me who you are? Why did my yin-yang blade have no effect when I struck you?"

  Yun Feng looked at the person walking out and his eyes widened in shock, exclaiming in disbelief: "Lin Tianyang, you...you've actually established your foundation!"

  "You know it's too late!" Lin Tianyang sneered and instantly drew out the Golden Sun Blade.

  Yun Feng gazed at Lin Tianyang, who had once again taken out a top-grade artifact. He couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile and said: "Lin Tianyang, do you think that just because you have one top-grade artifact, you can defeat me, who has already reached the middle stage of cultivation? What a joke!"

  "Jokes aren't funny, you only know after the battle!" Lin Tianyang pointed at Jinyang Knife with one finger, and Jinyang Knife instantly enlarged several times, its blade flames soaring as it chopped towards Yun Sui Feng.

  Yun Feng patted the cyan long shield in front of him, and the cyan long shield immediately swelled up several times to directly collide with the golden sun knife. Following that, he untied a spiritual beast bag from his waist, threw it out, and a giant red python appeared on the ground.

  "Second-level Scarlet Python!" Lin Tianyang felt slightly surprised after seeing the giant python. He didn't think that Yun Sui Feng actually raised a spiritual beast, but at this moment, he suddenly sensed that the small Cai in his spiritual beast pouch was extremely restless, as if she also wanted to come out.

  Lin Tianyang thought of the look on Xiao Cai's face when she saw the snake-like spiritual beast back then, and guessed that 'Xiao Cai' probably had a restraining effect on snake-like spiritual beasts. However, since the opponent's spiritual beast was one level higher than 'Xiao Cai', Lin Tianyang still didn't release her during this period of safety. Instead, he patted his storage bag again and took out the Turtle Shell Shield.

  Yún followed the wind and saw a tortoise shell shield, immediately recognizing that this was originally a treasure of the Yún family. A layer of frost instantly covered his face, and he quickly urged the red scale snake to spit out a flame towards Lín Tiān Yáng.

  Lin Tianyang saw the red-scaled snake attacking him and immediately grabbed at the air, recalling the Golden Sun Blade, then ran deep into the forest.
