More than 20 years have passed, and each of the immortal seedlings who entered the Three Mountains of Qingshitan with Li Qinglin has taken a different path.

His appearance has not changed, but his spirit has declined, and he seems to no longer be as young and energetic as he once was.

The minds of old friends change easily, yet they say that the minds of old friends are easily changed.

Li Qinglin sighed quietly.

"Fairy Tong Ruo, do you know how important this foundation-building pill is to me?"

Although with Li Qinglin's current family background and Taoist skills, it is more than enough to exchange for another high-quality foundation-building pill.

but……

There are some things that I can give you on my own initiative.

But you can't ask for it actively.

For ordinary cultivators, asking for the foundation-building pill is almost a vengeance that blocks one's path and a vengeance that threatens one's life! Tong Ruo couldn't possibly not understand this.

But she still did it. Perhaps she had her own reasons, or perhaps she felt that the probability of Li Qinglin building a foundation was extremely slim, and taking this foundation-building pill would be a waste...

Sensing the alienation in Li Qinglin's words, Tong Ruo's eyes showed sorrow, and she almost begged for mercy, "Fellow Daoist Han Fei, the two big families, the Cha family and the Xu family, have been fighting each other for years, which has cost the people a lot of money and effort. Countless cultivators have died. The Shiguangling Baifu Hall where my daughter worked has fallen apart and disappeared overnight.

I really have no other choice, so I come to ask for trouble from Daoist Fellow Han. I hope Daoist Fellow will give me a hand for the sake of our past friendship."

Tong Ruo was the top candidate in the immortality examination that year. Her aptitude, character, and perseverance were all top-notch. If nothing unexpected happened, she was almost destined to become an immortal.

Unfortunately, her backer fell. Unless she married and joined the Xu family, it would be extremely difficult for her to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It can be said that the hope of a normal breakthrough has been locked up.

Or they could follow Shang Xuan's example, fight to the death, temper themselves in fire and blood, and seek opportunities, but the mortality rate was enough to discourage 99% of the cultivators.

As for past relationships...

Li Qinglin was silent after hearing this, and said, "I'm sorry I can't give up this foundation-building pill. If Rihan succeeds in building his foundation, I can introduce some powerful forces to Tong Daoyou..."

After the foundation is successfully established? Introduced to a powerful force? Faced with such empty promises, Tong Ruo forced a smile.

Who can be sure that he has successfully established his foundation?

Even the big families in the three mountains of Qingshitan, whose immortal descendants have been hidden for many years, dare not make such big claims.

"Then I wish you success in building your foundation."

After saying this, Tong Ruo bowed, turned around and fled.

Li Qinglin finished the last glass of spirit wine and looked at the wine cup and fruits in front of Tong Ruo that were still wet.

Finally, with a wave of his sleeves, everything turned into dust and went away with Li Qinglin's thoughts.

…

Deep inside the Cha family's alchemy room.

Cha Qianli knelt on the ground, kowtowed in front of a jade stone bed, and said respectfully, "Grandmaster, this batch of newly acquired spiritual plants is all here. Please take a look."

On the stone bed, Cha Jiuan was wearing a feather robe, his eyes slightly closed, and a little white smoke rose from his breath.

After a long time, Cha Jiuan finally opened his eyes, and his consciousness scanned the spiritual value in the storage bag, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"This batch of spiritual plants is of good quality. Since you are so thoughtful, I will forgive you the punishment..."

When the voice came, Cha Qianli's face showed ecstasy, and he immediately felt relieved.

The bet was right! Although Cha Jiuan had previously instructed that the spiritual value required for the Dahua Soul Binding Forbidden Array must be collected within a year.

But Cha Qianli was well aware of the lazy nature of the foundation-building cultivator in front of him. As long as the war did not start and he did not show up, Cha Jiuan would most likely not care about him.

In addition, there was the rumor that Taoist Jialing was trapped in the disaster zone that was widely circulated some time ago.

As long as he can gather the spiritual power required for the forbidden formation in the end, Cha Jiuan will most likely not punish him!

"I heard that Han Fei has already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training?"

Cha Jiuan's voice came out of nowhere, and immediately made Cha Qianli break out in cold sweat.

How could Cha Qianli's various little thoughts be hidden from Cha Jiuan?

"Yes, yes... He reappeared, but he had reached the perfect state of Qi training, but his life span was greatly reduced and his body was injured. It seemed that he would not live for many years."

Unable to figure out what Cha Jiuan was thinking for a moment, Cha Qianli lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

Cha Jiuan said calmly, "So you think he won't live for many years, so you want to delay it, using the excuse of adjusting the spiritual veins, and wait until his death comes, then all grudges will be settled and you will get something for nothing?"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Cha Qianli was so frightened that his face turned pale as paper, and beads of sweat dripped onto the ground. He kept saying, "Grandfather, please forgive me, Grandfather, please forgive me! Li'er was wrong, Li'er just..."

"You are right."

Cha Jiuan interrupted Cha Qianli and said in a gloomy tone, "How can we allow others to get involved in the first-level spiritual vein?"

"However, if you delay in giving him the spiritual vein, it will make my Cha family look petty."

“Why not give it to him directly? If he can break through to the foundation-building stage, he will naturally remember the kindness of our Cha family and have a bond with them. Then I will personally take action to win him over to our Cha family. Our Cha family will want both the person and the spiritual vein.

If it doesn't work, and the breakthrough fails, it will definitely return to heaven under the pressure of the spirit vein. The right to interpret everything in Fenbao Cliff belongs to my Cha family, so we can naturally go with the flow and regain the spirit vein."

Upon hearing this, Cha Qianli looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and said in a slightly flattering tone,

"The old man is very righteous, but Li'er is far behind him."

Cha Jiuan glanced at him indifferently, feeling slightly disappointed.

"But you can't give it to him directly. You should keep an eye on his condition and wait until his lifespan is about to end before giving him the spiritual vein. Only when you give timely help will it be precious. Only then will he remember our kindness."

Considering Cha Jiuan's cultivation level at the middle stage of foundation building, it is actually shameless for him to plot against the younger generation who has reached the perfection of Qi training.

But the kindness of the old friend is hard to forget. Every time he sees Cha Qianli's face, Cha Jiuan will think of the figure of the young girl among the purple gold flowers all over the mountains decades ago.

"What a bad fate..."

After Cha Qianli left, a sigh was heard from the cave after a long time.

…

"Is the news true?"

"It's absolutely true! Han Fei is in Baicao Valley right now. Hehe, does he really think that the Cha family will give him the spiritual vein? At his age, he has become a lackey after practicing Taoism!"

"He's hiding in a good place! Baicao Valley is a place for pure cultivation, so it's not convenient for us to cause trouble there."

"Boss, why don't I let my nephew become your disciple, or recognize Han Fei as my godfather! This old man must be a treasure, and he can't let others get away with it after he dies."

"Don't panic, time is on our side. Han Fei still has a few fellow Taoists. Ji Yu and Fan Shang are not easy to deal with. Let's wait a little longer. Haha, Han Fei is more anxious than us!"

Dozens of miles away from Baicao Valley, in a remote and deserted place with no one around, a concealing formation restriction flashed by.

Several cultivators in the late stage of Qi training looked towards the direction of Baicao Valley with greed in their eyes.

Although bullying an old man who is not very old may seem unethical.

But in the competition for the great way, no one is willing to give up any chance of becoming an immortal.

Wait! Wait a little longer! In silence, Han Fei's foundation-building matter seemed to have touched the hearts of many people.
