Chapter 84: This is called foundation building. Not only is this place dark and gloomy...
This damn place is not only dark but also full of demons and monsters, each one more powerful than the other.
Zhong Liu reasonably suspected that he was at the bottom of the food chain.
It's not just the food chain of Tianqian, but also the food chain of the original owner and the cat.
Ever since the cat destroyed a Qilin that pounced on it without blinking an eye, Zhong Liu never dared to chat with the cat again.
She still felt a little scared when she thought about what she had said and done to the cat without any precautions. If the cat had even the slightest intention of killing her, she would never be able to live in peace.
As for whether the other party would be afraid to act because of the original owner... Zhong Liu instinctively felt that it would not happen. If she really angered the black cat, the other party would never care what would happen to the original owner after the death of this body.
It is a cat with terrifying strength, a cat that makes people feel it is impossible for it to become anyone's pet.
Zhong Liu felt that he had thought too much before. How could such a being become someone's pet and act cute?
...Although the black cat is really cute when it is quiet.
Time passed in constant combat practice, and I forgot the moment when Zhong Liu made a breakthrough.
Foundation-building period.
Because of sleepless nights and not being able to see the sun, Zhong Liu gradually lost his sense of time and took out the jade talisman for transmitting sound.
There's no signal in this damn place, I can only barely check the time.
Three days have passed since she came down.
...Three days, from Qi training to foundation building, and it was just an ordinary dual spiritual roots.
Zhong Liu knew very well that this was not because of her excellent understanding. Any cultivator with a normal brain could quickly transform in a very short time if he received training from these two people.
Although three days was still too exaggerated, even if Zhong Liu didn't have a deep understanding of the world of cultivation, he knew how ridiculous this time was... If it were to be spread out, it would probably stay on the hot searches in the entire world of cultivation for a year.
Zhong Liu didn't know why the original owner asked her to come.
However, it seems that it is not about killing or being killed. But if it is about eliminating all the monsters below, then she feels that the original owner thinks too highly of her. It would be better to let the black cat do it.
Hmm? Got a signal?
It was break time now, and no one came to urge Zhong Liu to train, so she just lay on the ground and played with her phone with peace of mind.
In her eyes, there is really no difference between the sound transmission jade talisman and a mobile phone, and it is even more convenient in many ways.
When you click on the hot searches, you will find that they are basically recent news, such as news from three days ago.
[A large number of Jindan-stage cultivators were summoned to the Tianqian.]
Zhong Liu was stunned, staring at the "large number of Jindan stage cultivators", not knowing what to think for a moment.
She asked, "Did you know this a long time ago?"
The original owner did answer her. It seemed that as long as she didn't ask what Zhong Liu was going to do, the original owner would answer any question.
"yes."
While reading the post, Zhong Liu continued to ask, "So you asked me to come here, is it to climb the ladder or to see Junior Sister Jin?"
She had already noticed the subtlety. After all, the Cloud Ladder and the Natural Chasm were definitely not something Zhong Liu could handle. But if it was Junior Senior Sister Jin...
"I came to save her, didn't I?"
This time, the original owner hesitated for a while before saying, "Yes."
"I hope you can save her."
Zhong Liu thought, is there any need to say more? Even if the original owner didn't exist, she would still be willing to do this.
But now there is a new problem - if there is such a dilemma that even a Jindan stage sword cultivator cannot solve, and even the unfathomable soul of the original owner cannot solve it, then why can I solve it myself?
Original owner: "The black cat will help you, and..."
The original owner's voice was actually very similar to Zhong Liu's, but the other person spoke much more slowly than Zhong Liu, and sounded much more steady.
"Even if I fail, I can accept it." By then, Zhong will have returned to dust, and death will cover up all the unwillingness.
"Let's go," the original owner said, "You've already advanced to the foundation-building stage. It will be difficult to advance further."
The time required between each stage increases exponentially. Even for her, it is impossible to promote Zhong Liu to the Golden Core stage in a short period of time. Originally, she only planned to promote Zhong Liu to the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Where are you going?"
Zhong said, "Go find Jin Ah Qing."
The black cat lay lazily on the sofa and basically did not move during this period of time.
Even though Zhong Liu was struggling and fighting not far away, not a speck of dust or mud could fall on the sofa from beginning to end.
Zhong Liu resigned himself to his fate and grabbed the sofa, feeling that he was just a servant in the deep palace, the kind who was specifically responsible for carrying the empress's sedan chair.
The queen didn't care about anything and just shook the tips of her ears.
Zhong Liu was really skeptical—she didn’t doubt the original owner’s words, but would this cat really help her?
...No matter how you look at it, it seems that the proportion of things that are done at will is greater.
Under the guidance of the original owner, she walked in one direction.
Hoping to find Junior Sister Jin, Zhong Liu was already feeling a bit uncomfortable. There wasn't even anyone to chat with in this damn place - the original owner was more like a teacher, the kind of teacher who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually very demanding and wouldn't lower his standards at all.
Besides, the lack of sunlight always made her suspect that she was lacking some trace elements.

"You said you were in the Foundation Establishment Stage?!"
The monk's eyes widened, "How could a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator have walked all the way in?"
The person standing in front of him was obviously a sword cultivator. The sword was still hanging at her waist, and the scabbard was shining brightly. Even in this place without sunlight, it still looked very dazzling.
The flowing light is like the rippling light on the water, or like the quietly flowing light on colored glass beads.
This is not the point. The point is that she clearly came from the edge, but her body was clean and there was no panic in her eyes as if she was running away.
Calm and impartial, yet with a touch of the youthful impetuousness, the swordsman said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
The cultivator suddenly felt a little discouraged. Could it be that the rumor that every sword cultivator could challenge across stages and that foundation building was equivalent to golden elixir was actually true?
Although he didn't think that the Jindan stage cultivators he met these days could be on par with the Yuanying stage cultivators... No, there might be one who could.
He hesitated for a long time, and when the sword cultivator in front of him visibly showed a growing expression of impatience, the cultivator finally said, "Then come with me, and go back first." At least it didn't look like a monster disguised as a sword cultivator, so it shouldn't be a problem to bring it back to the base.
The swordsman did not nod immediately. She habitually tilted her ear slightly to one side, as if she was listening.
Then she said, "Okay, wait for me."
She turned around and picked up a sofa from the shadows behind her.
Monk: “……?”
"Let's go." The swordsman said as if nothing had happened. Everything seemed normal, and it was also normal to walk under the chasm while holding the sofa.
——It’s not normal at all!
The cultivator screamed inwardly. How could he have never heard of such a quirk among sword cultivators? Weren't they all said to use swords as companions? How could someone still be so attached to a sofa?
Forget it, although it was a bit strange, it was at least not a big deal. The monk quickly adjusted his state and tried his best not to make his surprised look too obvious.
He just said: "Don't you think it's inconvenient to carry this?"
Suddenly, someone's gaze fell on him.
The monk was shocked, his instincts from countless life-and-death escapes screaming. If he were a hairy animal now, all the hair on his body would explode.
He lowered his head and saw a pair of vertical pupils flashing coldly on the sofa.
——!!
The whisk quickly emerged, but was quickly stopped by a scabbard.
The swordsman seemed a little flustered as well, and his eyes scanned the thing on the sofa several times.
She turned sideways and moved the soft sofa aside as if she were carrying a piece of cake. "It's convenient. There's nothing inconvenient about it."
Even though it's inconvenient, she can't do without it. This guy really loves to throw tantrums. When they first met, she yelled at him to get down, but he insisted on staying up there.
...It really likes to go against others. The more it is told not to do something, the more it insists on doing it.
Moreover, Zhong Liu always felt that the black cat didn’t really like the sofa that much, it was just too lazy to move.
The monk slowly recovered from the feeling of being watched.
When I looked at it more closely, I could only see a long, thin tail hanging on the edge of the sofa. The tail was furry and the tip of the tail moved from time to time.
...It seemed to be just an ordinary cat demon. He seemed to be too nervous, otherwise why would he suddenly feel that he was going to be eaten - even the monster he just defeated was not so terrifying.
"Maybe it's too dark here, I didn't see clearly just now... Let's go first."
Zhong Liu carefully separated the monk and the black cat. The cat had a bad temper and seemed to not care about anyone else's life or death except her - she guessed that she was benefiting from the original owner's influence.
Zhong Liu was just a little worried that this cultivator would be like the Qilin and disappear from this world completely in the blink of an eye.
The monk brought her to the camp through the mist.
There is light here. There is a small candle in the middle, but the light it emits makes people mistakenly think that there is a small sun here.
It was so bright that Zhong Liu squinted uncomfortably.
Not far away, the sound of a monk and another person talking could be heard.
"Yes, she said she was a disciple of Qingyun Sect, and I confirmed it."
"Foundation building?"
"Although I also think it's outrageous...but she is indeed building a foundation."
After a moment of silence, the other party said, "Okay, take her to the Qingyun Sect first and let those disciples take care of her."
Zhong Liu raised his hand silently.
The other party gave him a look: "?"
Zhong Liu: "Is Jin Aqing here?"
The expressions of the other party and the cultivator changed suddenly. When they first knew that she was a disciple of Qingyun Sect, they were still very relaxed; but after she suddenly mentioned Jin Aqing, the two of them immediately became alert.
...as if he had said a very remarkable and important name.
Zhong Liu felt that Senior Sister Jin must be quite famous, but she couldn't imagine why she suddenly became wary of her.
She was still holding the sofa in her hand, and the black cat was purring softly.
"...What's wrong? Senior Sister Jin saved my life, and we have a pretty good relationship. I want to act with her... Is that not okay?"
The monk's expression was a little hesitant, and then in the next moment, his gaze passed by Zhong Liu and looked into the distance.
It was the sound of stepping on the tree trunk and then drifting over the fallen leaves from the branches.
The movement of the person who came was very slight, and the sound was almost inaudible, but the devilish training that Zhong Liu had received during this period was not in vain. He moved his ears and caught the tiny sound from the wind.
Zhong Liu turned his head.
The long eye is ready to move in the sheath.
The visitor smiled slightly.
"Zhong Liu, why are you here?"
