After contacting them one by one, I got the news that they were going to participate in the foundation-building competition.
"Junior Sister, do you want to go?"
"Of course, I'll be bored to death in the sect, but how long will it take?"
"I'll leave tomorrow and be back in about a month."
"Where are you going?"
"Cangyun City is the central city of Luoyun Continent. The vast area surrounding it is home to the five major sects and other small and medium-sized sects. You will be able to see more cultivators then."
"Fifth Senior Brother, won't there be a lot of people flying in the sky with swords by then?"
"Well, not too much. The city doesn't allow high-altitude flying, but you can fly low, which can be considered flying with a sword."
"That's great. It's much more convenient to go shopping."
Bai Ziyi: "...", Junior Sister, shouldn't you be looking at how many cultivators there are and then working hard at cultivation? Your focus is really wrong.
"Brother, remember to call me tomorrow morning."
"Okay, let's go together after morning exercise. I hope Second Senior Brother can get the Demon Breaking Pill this time."
"Is Second Senior Brother about to form a pill?"
"It's almost there. Even if I don't form a pill in the next two years, I still need to prepare the Demon Breaking Pill in advance, just in case I can't overcome my inner demons."
After the two chatted for a while, Yun Dandan hung up the sound transmission note.
"Let's wait and see this time. If Second Senior Brother doesn't get the Demon-Breaking Pill, I'll give him the Demon-Clearing Grass. That way, I'll have a strong backup."
As for the other senior brothers, the fourth senior brother has the Qingmo Grass and doesn't need it, so only the third and fifth senior brothers are left.
"Jiji, when will those three demon-clearing grasses in your secret realm grow to a hundred years old?"
"It's three years now, but it will probably take more..."
"Let me do the math."
After a moment, Jiji said, "Seventeen years."
"That won't work. The daylilies are cold."
"Master, is there an urgent need?"
"Of course, apart from the second senior brother, there are two other senior brothers who also need the Demon Breaking Pill."
"Then I can only upgrade myself. If I can swallow some natural treasures or soulless bodies, I can prolong the time in the secret realm, and the spiritual herbs will naturally grow faster."
Yun Dandan was surprised: "You can still level up?"
"Of course. As I become stronger, the secret realm will also become larger. I can still grow up. It's not impossible for me to become a human."
"Then can Duoduo do the same?"
"Duoduo? Master, are you talking about that mine spirit?"
"Um."
"That's right. In the end, it can still survive on its own without the spiritual mine."
"Oh, but where can I get you something so precious? I can't let you swallow up the sect's secret realm."
Oh right, Soul Devourer! No wonder the original heroine destroyed the Xiaoyao Sect. Could it be that she destroyed the sect just for the sect's secret realm?
Yes, in the original text, Jiji was possessed by the heroine. It is not impossible that she found an excuse to destroy the clan for her own selfish desires. She is too cruel.
"Jiji, you are not allowed to swallow the spirits in the sect's secret realm unless I agree. Do you understand?"
"Ah? Okay."
Jiji was confused, not knowing why his master said that, and also felt a slight sense of alienation that was easy to ignore.
"In two months, the unknown secret realm will open, and in another month, I'll be going to the wasteland with her. That means I'll have to leave right after watching the competition with my senior brothers. Time is so tight, I really want to give up."
"But Master, you're not competing. You're just going out to play. There's no need to be nervous."
"You're the one who's nervous. I just feel like I'm busy every day, almost non-stop, like something's urging me on."
Jiji looked around and said in a cute voice, "No, no one."
Yun Dandan reached out and rubbed its head, "You are stupid, how can there be anyone looking at it like this?"
"Do you think such a thing as soul travel exists?"
"Yes. After all, once a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, as long as the Nascent Soul is not destroyed, he can take over another body and be reborn."
"You mean taking over a body? Is it possible to take over a body?"
"Ah, yes, Master, are you stupid? This is something everyone knows, except for some newborn babies."
“…”
"How can you survive in a body that's not your own?"
"Yes, at least the body functions are strong. However, if the Nascent Soul period arrives and there is no breakthrough, then the Five Degenerations will occur and the person will die immediately. Or, when the breakthrough occurs, the inner demons and thunder tribulations will be aggravated."
"What? Worse?"
Yun Dandan's heart trembled. She had traveled through time, which meant she was essentially a body possessor. How could she overcome the tribulation? The inner demons were easy enough; she could just prepare more Demon-Breaking Pills. But what about the thunder tribulation? A lightning rod? It seemed like that wasn't impossible.
"Jiji, if I guide the lightning of the thunder tribulation to the ground, can I survive the tribulation at will?"
"Lead it to the ground?"
Jiji was completely bewildered. What was the master talking about? It was so casual. If it was so easy to overcome the tribulation, there wouldn't be such a strong person.
“It’s like this.”
Yun Dandan took out a pen and paper and drew the situation, motioning Jiji to look at it.
In the center of the paper, above the person, was a stick? A string connected to the bottom end, piercing the ground.
"I haven't seen this before. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. I need to try it to know."
Jiji looked up, "Master, do you want to try this?"
"right."
"Master, we can just use the formation to block the first few stronger thunder tribulations. The latter ones will help to temper our bodies, so it's better to catch them."
"It's going to be struck by lightning." I was a little scared. What should I do? It was scary just thinking about it.
"Master, you are still far from thinking about this now. When you reach the Jindan stage, there will only be three. When you reach the Yuanying stage, there will be five. After that, you will increase by three every time you break through a major realm."
Yun Dandan: "...", can't I just not break through? Why torture me like this?
"Let's not talk about this anymore. We've strayed off topic. Let's go to sleep."
The next day, after finishing his morning exercises, Bai Ziyi woke up his junior sister.
"Junior sister, get up and go to the square. You can still have breakfast. If you go too late, you will go hungry."
"Ah, breakfast, where is it?"
Yun Dandan looked around and didn't see anyone carrying a lunch box. "Fifth Brother, you lied to me. Where is the breakfast?"
Helian Mo said loudly: "Haha, little junior sister, Fifth Junior Brother is calling you to go to the dining hall together."
"Oh, so that's it. Thank you, brother. Let's go quickly."
After folding up a row of cushions, the five people left the top of Ziyun Peak.
…
"Today, all Foundation Establishment disciples who wish to participate in the competition may go. Even if you don't win a place, you can still gain a lot of combat experience and perhaps even gain some insights. As for the rules of the competition, someone will explain them to you once you arrive."
Yun Xiao looked around and finally said loudly in one direction: "Elder Feng, I'll trouble you to lead the team this time."
'whoosh'
The figure landed. Feng Jiu took a sip of wine and glanced at the crowd. "I can lead the team, but all disciples must obey my orders, otherwise I will not protect them."
