Chapter 142 The Immortal City is Mine
Outside the sealed room.
Knowing that Gu Musheng had already established his foundation, Zhang Tie smiled and then waited silently.
After successfully establishing his foundation, Gu Musheng became a Foundation Establishment cultivator, whose status and position were no less than his.
In the future, the two brothers will have to support each other and work together in the immortal city.
As fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators, we have even greater goals ahead of us.
Naturally, the previous minor misunderstanding was nothing to worry about. He wasn't that petty, and Gu Musheng probably felt the same way.
This is exactly what is meant by "Brothers who have survived countless tribulations can meet again with a smile and forget all past grievances".
Of course, if Gu Musheng fails to break through, then as the gap between their statuses continues to widen, estrangement will be inevitable.
Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment are from completely different circles, so what's there to talk about?
Without common ground, how can a close relationship be maintained?
More than ten days later, Gu Musheng finally stabilized his cultivation level, opened the formation, and walked out of the secret room.
The first thing Zhang Tie said to him was, "Third brother, congratulations on your successful foundation building. You will live to be 240 years old and take another step forward on the path to immortality."
Gu Musheng, no longer obsequious, smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your kind words, Second Brother. I will need your continued support in the future."
The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
"Let's go, third brother, I'll take you to see Master." Zhang Tie explained with a smile, "If Master isn't in seclusion, she should already know that you've successfully established your foundation. If, unfortunately, she is in seclusion, then you'll probably have to wait on the mountain for a while."
Gu Musheng smiled and nodded: "That's only right, thank you for your trouble, Second Brother."
Next, the two flew up the mountain together and landed in front of the palace halfway up the mountain.
This palace is the residence of the head of the General Affairs Sect. Originally, Dai Sangyu lived in this palace, but because of Ye Chen's matter, Dai Sangyu was taken to the mountaintop by Master Fenglan to reflect on his mistakes.
Since Meng Qingyi was in charge of general affairs, this place naturally became his residence.
After Zhang Tie reported this, Meng Qing warmly led his two junior brothers into the hall.
"Senior Sister Meng, this is my third brother, Gu Musheng. After purchasing a Foundation Establishment Pill, he successfully established his foundation." Zhang Tie introduced Gu Musheng to Meng Qingyi, then smiled and said, "As per Master's instructions, I must take my third brother to pay his respects to Master. Is Master available now?"
Meng Qingyi nodded: "I'll ask my master."
After saying that, she took out a specially made communication talisman, respectfully said a few words into it, and then threw it directly towards the mountaintop.
After doing all this, she looked at Zhang and Gu in surprise: "Junior Brother Zhang and Junior Brother Gu, I didn't expect that you two had this kind of relationship. Fellow Daoist Li is truly blessed to have two good brothers like you."
Her surprise wasn't feigned.
In her view, Li Ping himself was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and also a second-tier low-grade talisman maker. In terms of status and position, he was superior to ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Now, his two sworn brothers have also broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
The three Foundation Establishment cultivators, working together, have become a considerable force in the cultivation world of Fenglan Immortal City.
All three are still very young and have a bright future ahead of them.
Upon hearing Meng Qingyi mention his elder brother, Zhang Tie's expression immediately turned solemn: "We are fortunate to have such a good elder brother. If it weren't for his wholehearted help, where would we have the opportunity to establish our foundation?"
His respect was almost palpable as he spoke.
Gu Musheng, standing to the side, nodded solemnly as well: "Second brother is right. Without eldest brother's help, I would hardly have had the chance to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime."
Upon hearing this, Meng Qingyi smiled and nodded, but in her heart she was thinking silently: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Li's status in the hearts of his two sworn brothers is higher than outsiders imagine. Given their ages, they are worth our Meng family's further efforts to win them over."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but nod slightly.
Li Ping has always had a fairly good relationship with the Meng family, and he is currently living on the Meng family's Peach Mountain.
At the same time, Meng Qing was also very curious as to why Li Ping would go to such lengths to help Zhang Tie and Gu Musheng establish their foundations.
"Even if it's an investment, is he so sure that his investment won't go down the drain?" She couldn't help but admire Li Ping's boldness.
Just then, she heard the voice of Master Fenglan.
After listening attentively, Meng Qing smiled and looked at Zhang and Gu: "Junior brothers, Master is free now, why don't you go up the mountain to pay your respects to Master?"
……
Zhang Tie led Gu Musheng up the mountain, and they easily met Master Fenglan.
As usual, Master Fenglan accepted Gu Musheng as his disciple, gave him some encouragement, and then bestowed upon him three bottles of elixirs to enhance his cultivation.
He said that he would hold an initiation ceremony for Gu Musheng in a while before letting them leave.
The three bottles of pills were considered a gift from Master Fenglan to Zhang Tie when he became an apprentice, and their value was about the same as the Fierce Arrow Eagle's Dead Egg that Master Fenglan had given him.
Stepping out of Fenglan Zhenren's palace, Zhang Tie smiled and reminded Gu Musheng, "Third brother, follow Master's instructions..."
You can choose any location at the foot of Azure Dragon Mountain to build your cave dwelling. You can also visit the Secret Techniques Pavilion to select two cultivation techniques, inheritances, and secret methods. Would you like to choose a technique now?
Gu Musheng shook his head: "I want to visit my elder brother first and tell him about my successful Foundation Establishment."
Years later, through his own channels, he learned about He Yunyi's possession by a demonic cultivator and why the matter was ultimately left unresolved.
According to his insider friend, the cultivators of the Immortal City discovered traces of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Demonic Path near He Yunyi's village.
Furthermore, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Demonic Path was killed in a fierce battle, and the attacker was suspected to be a Core Formation cultivator.
Because it involved Core Formation cultivators, the Immortal City did not continue its investigation.
But Gu Musheng knew that the storage bag that had possessed the demonic cultivator had actually been obtained by his elder brother.
In other words, either the eldest brother killed that late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the demonic path, or the eldest brother had a Core Formation cultivator behind him.
Although it seems unbelievable, this is the result that Gu Musheng deduced through various methods.
He believed that the reason his elder brother dared to stand up to the arrogant and domineering Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator Xiong Pohai at Xiantao Mountain was not because his elder brother was the bravest in a safe place.
Rather, it was because their elder brother simply didn't take him seriously. Their elder brother was no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator; he was far more powerful than they had imagined!
Therefore, he cannot become arrogant after successfully establishing his foundation, thinking that he can be on equal footing with his elder brother. He must hold on tightly to his elder brother's coattails!
After becoming an apprentice, he wanted to report the news of his successful foundation building to his elder brother as soon as possible.
"loyalty!"
Upon hearing Gu Musheng's words, Zhang Tie was taken aback at first, but then nodded: "It's only right to tell my elder brother about this first. Let's go together."
"it is good."
……
The two arrived at Xiantao Mountain, and after being informed by Bai Lin, they finally met Li Ping.
Upon seeing the two, Li Ping's gaze immediately fell upon Gu Musheng. Although the aura emanating from him was still somewhat unstable, he was undoubtedly at the Foundation Establishment stage.
The ancient tree has also successfully completed its foundation building.
After thinking it over, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Musheng."
Gu Musheng quickly replied, "Without my elder brother's help, I would never have been able to successfully establish my foundation."
Li Ping smiled and didn't say much. Instead, he led Zhang Tie and him to sit down in the pavilion. The three of them chatted briefly about Gu Musheng's foundation-building process and his becoming a disciple of Master Fenglan.
Then, Li Ping inquired about his plans after he had achieved Foundation Establishment.
Upon hearing Li Ping's question, Gu Musheng's expression changed, and he immediately replied, "Brother, now that I've become a disciple of a True Person, I naturally won't be running a small general store anymore. However, the True Person hasn't assigned me any tasks yet... I might have some free time in the coming days."
At this point, Gu Musheng glanced at Li Ping again, and seeing that his expression had not changed, he continued, "So I plan to open a comprehensive shop in the inner city, similar to Lingbao Pavilion. However, on my own, neither my financial resources nor my own strength are sufficient to support the operation of the shop."
"So I'd like to ask my eldest and second brothers to invest and take a stake, while I manage the business. If nothing unexpected happens, I might be able to earn a profit for you two brothers every year." Gu Musheng said, his face beaming with pride, clearly extremely confident in his management skills.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tie couldn't help but show a hint of interest.
Li Ping shook his head, rejecting his suggestion: "Don't be impatient. You've just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so focus on your own cultivation. We can talk about the shop in a few years."
He also hoped to own a large shop like Lingbaoge.
There is a shop where earning spirit stones is secondary; the main purpose is to collect resources and pass on knowledge.
This will save him from wasting his precious cultivation time running around.
His rejection of Gu Musheng's suggestion was not due to a lack of faith in his management skills, but rather because the three of them were still too weak.
Behind large shops like Lingbao Pavilion, Yuya Palace, and Wanfa Tower are all Core Formation Realm forces. How can three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators compete with them?
No matter how strong a business is, can it withstand a blow from a magic weapon?
Besides, Gu Musheng has already become Fenglan Zhenren's apprentice, yet he still went out into business on his own?
Li Ping believes that there is absolutely no need for this.
Why not just undermine the city's defenses directly?
"Brother, I..." Gu Musheng began to explain when Li Ping rejected his idea.
He was interrupted by Li Ping before he could finish speaking: "I understand your eagerness to use your talents, but have you forgotten that 'Wanfa Tower' belongs to the Immortal City? Zhang Tie is currently the logistics manager. We'll work together to arrange for you to become the manager of Wanfa Tower. With your close cooperation, it will be better than opening your own shop."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tie and Gu Musheng seemed to be deep in thought.
But Li Ping actually had something else he didn't say.
Fenglan Zhenren's lifespan is less than a hundred years. After she passes away, Li Ping will form his core in one fell swoop. With Zhang Tie and Gu Musheng working together, the entire immortal city will be his.
The entire immortal city is now his.
