A hundred years have passed through my mind one by one, and finally merged into these two words.

Chen Sheng had reached the great perfection of Qi training. After twenty-three years of struggling at the gate of building the foundation, he finally saw the opportunity and went into seclusion in the Longxing Hall to break through and build the foundation.

Buzz! In the alchemy room, Chen Sheng sat cross-legged on the cushion, his eyes closed, his mind immersed in deep practice.

He practiced the health-preserving sutra, and strands of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, as if possessed by spirits, penetrated into his pores and acupoints, moving along a mysterious and complex trajectory, winding around and around, before condensing into magic power.

There was already a mist in the Dantian. The ethereal magical power was so thick that it was impossible to see clearly, and it seemed to be turning into raindrops that would fall down.

Mr. Chen was very calm. He just practiced his skills, allowing strands of magic power to flow through his meridians and fall into his dantian.

This process lasted for some time.

Then……

Tick!

In Dantian, the top level of magic power was suppressed to a critical point, and a drop of green liquid was squeezed out from the sticky liquid that could not be dissolved.

The transformation of mana begins.

Drops of magic power dripped from top to bottom, and gathered into a small puddle with a click.

The misty smoke quickly dissipated, and after a few breaths, everything became clear.

outside world.

Chen Sheng sat there cross-legged, towering and motionless. Under his plain white robe, every inch of his flesh and blood glowed with a bright luster. His aura rose like a dragon soaring into the sky and soaring away.

"boom"

It seems like some kind of shackles have been broken.

Chen Sheng's mind was shaken violently, and he felt as if he had entered another world. His magic power was powerful and endless, and his breath could affect the void.

"It took me a hundred years to successfully build my foundation, all thanks to the trait of immortality."

He sighed, the foundation-building stage was so solid and heavy, it was a hurdle in one's cultivation.

Some monks who are extremely talented and have the support of the Dao will be stopped and become depressed for the rest of their lives.

If he has not attained the status of an immortal, he must have immortality. This immortal world has given him enough ease.

Although a hundred years of foundation building is a bit late, it is worth waiting for any Qi-refining cultivator with mediocre qualifications.

"The fluctuation of the foundation-building stage?"

Outside the alchemy room, the sudden aura of foundation building made Luzhu stunned on the spot.

She knew that Mr. Chen was building his foundation today, but she didn’t actually have any expectations.

The latest time to build the foundation in the Qi Refining Realm is in the sixties or seventies. A hundred years old is no longer a problem, but there is not even a chance at all.

Cognitively, she thought it was impossible, but mentally, she was extremely looking forward to Mr. Chen being able to successfully build a foundation.

That is her Taoist partner. If he can build his foundation, they will be together for nearly two hundred years.

This is a dream she wishes to have.

While he was thinking, the door of the alchemy room opened and a figure walked out. He was still young, wearing a plain robe, and was elegant, just like when he was a teenager. His eyes were gentle, but with a bit of the accumulation of time, he was extremely charming.

All of a sudden, it broke into Luzhu's heart.

What made Luzhu even more emotional was the aura emanating from that figure.

"The foundation has been established."

Seeing that Luzhu was a little bit unconvinced, Mr. Chen gave her an affirmative reply with a look of expectation.

"It's done. That's great."

Luzhu was overjoyed, and her whole body and mind were filled with joy.

She had rarely been so happy.

Even though she had never told Mr. Chen about it, she had always remembered the difference in lifespan between the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage, and was very worried about it.

Now that both of them are cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can really stay together for life.

"You're really that afraid that I'll leave."

Of course Mr. Chen knew that this woman cared a lot.

If he was really an ordinary Qi Refining Realm and passed away at over a hundred years old, she would be very sad.

"Of course."

Luzhu said as a matter of course.

Those eyes seemed to be able to speak, reflecting Chen Sheng's figure and expressing deep affection.

"Don't worry, I will survive."

Mr. Chen told the truth, he will live and live longer than anyone else.

"Die after me, and I won't be sad."

This is what Luzhu said.

She is very content now, to have someone to accompany her until old age, this trip should be worth it.

"Congratulations, teacher, you have achieved success on the path to immortality."

Zhou Lie came to the Longxing Hall and saw Chen Sheng's aura. He was overjoyed and busy congratulating him.

"There are only a few people like me who can build a foundation after a hundred years. Don't try to imitate me."

Chen Sheng had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes. Zhou Lie was already 41 years old, and he had just reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. This speed of cultivation was a bit unworthy of the cultivation resources he had.

Zhou Lie is not like him. If he fails to make a breakthrough after practicing Qi cultivation for sixty or seventy years old, there is really nothing he can do.

"I am ashamed."

Hearing this, Zhou Lie lowered his head and dared not argue.

"Although Zhou Lie's progress in Qi Refining is not fast, he is already a leader among the first-level alchemists. You should not point out his shortcomings."

Luzhu made a roundabout but fair statement.

Zhou Lie has the same style as his teacher, which is recognized by the alchemists in Yaolu.

"You are indeed quite good at alchemy."

He should praise when necessary, and Mr. Chen still cares a lot about his apprentice's psychology.

"I will never let my teacher down."

Zhou Lie raised his head, his face full of seriousness. It was a great blessing for him to be able to become a disciple of a teacher, and he would never act recklessly.

The teacher is the elder of the medicine house, and he cannot let others laugh at him when it comes to the way of alchemy.

The slow progress in Qi training was due to this. It was not because he did not work hard, but because he focused all his time and attention on alchemy.

Especially since Chen Sheng had been slow to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage, he did not dare to slack off and bravely strived to be the best among his generation in Yao Lu, proving that his lineage was still strong.

He didn't say any of these, but kept them in his heart and put them into practice.

…

Chen Sheng, the elder of Yaolu, succeeded in breaking through the realm and entered the foundation-building realm.

The news spread like wildfire in the outer sect.

This news was too shocking. A hundred-year-old Qi Refining Realm cultivator, despite having little time left, had fought his way through all obstacles and reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The medicine house was shocked three times. Chen Sheng had been in charge of the medicine house for many years and had a very high prestige. Many people did not want such a big mountain to fall.

Now, my wish has come true and I can be protected from wind and rain for two hundred years.

Seeing that Chen Sheng did not have much time left, several up-and-coming people who were planning to take the position of the elder of the medicine house simply gave up the idea and dared not show their heads.

"Elder Yaolu? We cannot approach such an important person."

The outer disciples of Chen Sheng's generation had long been deserted, replaced by batches of new faces.

They were new to cultivation and had no idea of ​​the value of building a foundation over a hundred years; they just envied it and treated it as a legend.

"I could tell at first glance that the person I recruited was not ordinary."

That night, Fu Yunzi was drunk and in a relaxed mood.

Chen Sheng's foundation-building process showed that he had a keen eye for talent and immediately found a cultivator who had established his foundation.

On the other hand, his beloved disciple no longer had to die young, which really relieved him of a worry.

“It’s really alive.”

Jia Ping, who had met Chen Sheng once or twice through the air, was so happy that he felt complicated when he saw this young man with mediocre talent breaking into the foundation-building stage.

This incident also caused quite a stir in the inner sect. Breaking through the barriers at the age of one hundred and successfully laying the foundation were both things that could be mentioned in the history of cultivation in the border areas.

"Is it him? He has also established his foundation!"

In the blink of an eye, everything has changed. That guy with mediocre qualifications has actually established his foundation. It's really rare.

"Depressed, go kill the monster."

Zhao Tianyang remembered the name that had been almost forgotten for a long time. He was very depressed. A boy whom he looked down upon before had actually established his foundation and caught up with him.

It seems that he is getting further and further back in time.

As he said this, he flew his sword a thousand miles away into the demon forest to hone his skills.

"Mr. Chen is a great man."

On the Laurel Peak, Wu Taisheng had to admit that he had made a mistake. Chen Ergou overwhelmed him and made him unable to fight back.

A Mr. Chen, who has emerged out of nowhere, is no ordinary person.

Fortunately, he has kept his composure over the years, otherwise he would have been nagging about it for a few days.

An elder in the Foundation Establishment Stage, who is in charge of such a powerful department as the Medicine House, is well worth making friends with.

After Chen Sheng established his foundation, people he knew and didn’t know came to give him gifts and congratulate him.

"A dragon cloud fruit sent by Zhuo Longfeng from the outer sect."

"Outer sect Liu Rufeng gave me a pair of jade ruyi."

"Yuwu Hall sent a truckload of cultivation resources."

"The Law Enforcement Hall gave me a small second-level tower."

"Baiyu Peak, a garden that produces spiritual herbs."

…

The Longxing Hall was filled with various gifts, piled up into a small mountain.

Almost all the outer sects presented a gift, expressing their thoughts in some way.

Even the Yuwu Palace brought a truckload of cultivation resources.

Yaolu is different from ordinary external departments, and there is a possibility of cooperation between them.

The Law Enforcement Hall is the responsibility of Chen Ergou. As the brother that his immediate superior values ​​the most, the people under him have to show their respect to him on such an important day.

"So many things are worth the entire fortune of a casual foundation-building cultivator in the neighboring land."

Luzhu was originally a foundation-building cultivator. After her breakthrough, she did not receive such treatment. Basically, she was treated like a fellow disciple and was only congratulated and given small gifts.

Unlike Mr. Chen, the gifts were piled up like a small mountain.

“Just a different location.”

Mr. Chen was very calm. He was not upset by the impact of these cultivation resources and felt that he was a big shot.

He knew clearly that there was a difference between a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage and an elder in the Medicine House at the Foundation Establishment stage.

As for the latter, he was able to mobilize enormous amounts of energy, and was even able to influence the supply of elixirs to the outer sect of the Immortal Sect, which naturally attracted the goodwill of many people.

"What should we do next?"

Looking at the huge pile of cultivation resources, Luzhu felt a bit of a headache. These things couldn't be piled up anymore, as they would take up too much space.

Also, the human relations involved are the most troublesome.

"Accept it, and remember to give them gifts in return on important days in the future."

Mr. Chen understands the etiquette of reciprocity. To him, external things are like floating clouds, which should be dispersed when necessary. Making people happy is more important than anything else.

Lu Zhu followed the instructions and stored the gifts according to the categories, and also made a clear note of the shares of each vein and peak.

"The elder of the inner sect Taoshan Peak is here to congratulate fellow Taoist."

Here, someone else came to congratulate, it was Elder Yifeng himself. The servants outside the door did not dare to neglect him and hurried over to report.

"Inner sect elder, from Taoshan Peak?"

Chen Sheng was a little surprised. He had no connection with this sect. The man came in person, so it must not be a simple gift. However, the reason for the man to come was legitimate, so he could not stop him. So he said to the servant, "Please let him in."

Soon, a middle-aged man came to the outside of Longxing Hall. He had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was smiling, giving people a friendly feeling.

"Daoyou has an extraordinary demeanor and a peaceful and calm mind. No wonder you were able to break into the Foundation Establishment Stage despite the impossible."

When Taoshan Peak's elder Mu Rufeng saw Chen Sheng's face, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that the elder Yaolu, who was so famous in the outside world, would look so young.

“It was a stroke of luck that I was able to succeed.”

Mr. Chen said politely.

"Whether it was a fluke or not, everyone can see it for themselves."

Mu Rufeng remained noncommittal. Any reason would do, but it was not something that could be accomplished by luck.

Looking through the history of cultivation in the border areas, there is no one else who could break through the barrier and achieve the foundation at the age of one hundred.

However, he was not here to argue about this today, and no one really cared about this. He said, "Daoyou is very happy, and I, Mu, cannot fail to express my gratitude."

As he spoke, a ray of his aura leaked out. Wind and fog gathered, and two white cranes flew in from the empty sky. Their wings were white and slender like smoke, and their postures were light and graceful, truly resembling the aura of immortals.

Suddenly, the white cranes landed on the ground, standing aside with great spirituality, like two objects carved from white jade.

"What a handsome mount."

Luzhu exclaimed in her heart. These two white cranes were so handsome that they would definitely attract a lot of attention if they were flown in the sky.

"This is a top-level spiritual beast of the first order. This gift is a bit heavy, isn't it?"

Chen Sheng did not show any emotion on his face. These two top-level spiritual beasts were so ethereal and worth a lot of money.

He and Mu Rufeng didn't have much of a relationship, so it was not right for him to come to Mu Rufeng's house rashly and give him such a big gift.

“Not heavy.”

Mu Rufeng refused to acknowledge them and said, "This pair of white cranes would be useless wherever I put them. I am a rough man and they don't match my temperament. But you two are really suitable."

He said this sincerely. Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu were a perfect match. They had noble character and looked like gods. When they traveled riding white cranes, they had the demeanor of immortals.

He is different, a little rough, so riding a white tiger is appropriate for him.

"Daoyou, you really don't have any special intentions?"

Mr. Chen didn't take it seriously, but he could see that Luzhu was kind of fond of the pair of white cranes, but she just didn't say it.

Well, he was not in a hurry to refuse.

"Make friends, and by the way..."

Mu Rufeng was still going to be stubborn, but when he met Chen Sheng's half-smiley eyes, he finally said, "Mu has a useless grandson who is now an apprentice in the medicine house."

Chen Sheng is the elder of the Medicine House. Now that he has been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he is able to refine second-level pills. It is more than enough for such a person to give some pointers to an apprentice alchemist.

"What's your name?"

Mr. Chen nodded slightly and asked for the name.

In recent years, all the alchemists in the medicine house have been trained by him. Even if he is an apprentice, being able to come in shows that he is not bad.

Since there was this relationship, he couldn't help but soften his tone.

"Mutong."

Mu Rufeng said hurriedly.

"I have some impression."

In Chen Sheng's mind, an image of a simple and honest little fat boy emerged. That boy had a solid foundation and was quite good.

Does this also need to be taken care of?

He couldn't help but be a little stunned. Was it going to kill someone else?

"It was his pleasure."

Regardless of whether Mr. Chen said it casually or not, Mu Rufeng was very happy when he heard it.

Besides, being able to get this pharmacist's name on the list is already half the battle.

"In a year or two, he can become an alchemist."

Mr. Chen made some inferences and told the truth.

"Then I feel relieved."

Hearing this, Mu Rufeng was overjoyed. After a few pleasantries, he left behind a pair of white cranes and departed.

Mr. Chen was silent.

It seemed like there was nothing he could do, and Mu Tong just had to follow the procedures.
