Chapter 82 Fellow Taoist, instructions
"From Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, this is the first threshold in cultivation."
"We, as fellow practitioners, are the most qualified to speak on just how difficult this threshold is."
"Besides you and me, there are probably many other Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered in this restaurant, all of whom are here in seclusion to break through to Foundation Establishment because their juniors or disciples are doing so."
At this moment, Guan Che said with a sigh.
Then, they looked at the gradually closing vortex of spiritual energy. It was clear that the newly promoted cultivator had successfully advanced to become one of their Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After a while.
A Foundation Establishment divine sense emanated from the cave dwelling of the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator, sweeping across the street.
"Those newly established at the Foundation Establishment stage in Shadow Gate Market are not subject to the restrictions of this anti-flight formation."
"In fact, if you choose to join the Thousand Shadows Pavilion and become a Foundation Establishment guest elder within their sect, you can freely choose a second-tier magic weapon."
"This Thousand Shadows Pavilion is quite grand."
"I wonder how the newly established Foundation Establishment Society will choose."
After sensing the unfamiliar divine consciousness of the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator, Guan Che spoke thoughtfully.
Guan Che was promoted during the Shadow Gate Market auction. More than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he can still recall how spirited he was back then.
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the restaurant, a beam of earth-yellow light flew from the location of the newly established Foundation Establishment cultivator's cave dwelling and landed inside the restaurant.
"Congratulations on your advancement, fellow Daoist!"
Congratulations, fellow Daoist!
At this moment, from within the escaping light, the figure of a Foundation Establishment dog demon, standing ten feet tall, dressed in a black robe, with a square dog head, fangs peeking out, and muscles bulging all over its body, was revealed.
It had a coat of soft, tan fur, except for a tuft of black fur between its eyebrows, and its eyes had a pale silver hue.
The faint pressure emanating from his body caused a strange glint to flash in the eyes of the eleven Foundation Establishment cultivators in the restaurant.
He was actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
For demon cultivators, advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage is significantly more difficult than for human cultivators, and their lifespan is generally much longer.
To be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage as a demon must mean one has extraordinary opportunities.
If we could recruit this newly established Foundation Establishment dog demon into our own Foundation Establishment force, it would definitely be a great help.
Immediately, under the watchful eyes of the surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators, Er Gou, who had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, walked steadily to Lin Li's side.
Er Gou smiled and bowed respectfully to Lin Li, saying, "Master, Er Gou has succeeded!"
At this moment, Er Gou was still extremely excited.
However, Er Gou knew very well that his successful advancement was also thanks to the Foundation Establishment spiritual item given to him by his master. Otherwise, he would not have dared to even think about reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
"This…"
Upon witnessing this scene, Gu Song and Guan Che, along with the other Foundation Establishment cultivators around them, bowed in respect to Er Gou.
Apart from Gu Song and Guan Che, whose eyes were full of surprise, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators, though their outward expressions did not change much, harbored a mix of envy, astonishment, and resentment.
Many Foundation Establishment cultivators present turned their gazes toward Lin Li, their eyes revealing a scrutinizing look.
Both master and servant are at the Foundation Establishment stage; they will be quite significant figures in the future.
In a battle between cultivators of the same level, two against one is a significant advantage.
He is certainly a fellow Daoist of the same level who is worth remembering.
"Fellow Daoist Er Gou, you have now successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage. We can address each other as fellow Daoist."
Lin Li said to him.
"Can…"
Just as Er Gou was about to say something, Lin Li in front of him shook his head slightly.
Now that Er Gou has successfully established his foundation, he can entrust the protection of the spirit foxes, spirit monkeys, and several spirit turtles of Sanyang Spring.
Linli is now struggling to survive.
Their lives are precarious.
Now he's trapped in this Giant Shadow City by that Crimson-Eyed Old Demon, and who knows when he'll be possessed by him.
There's no going back to Sanyangquan. Er Gou has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so Lin Li can finally relax.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Liu."
Although the way Er Gou addressed him had changed, his tone remained very respectful.
The few cultivators who had originally wanted to recruit this newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator in the restaurant had no choice but to give up after seeing this scene.
"Let's go, we should leave this place first. This isn't the place to talk."
After Lin Li finished speaking, he raised his hand and with a wave of his hand, a gust of wind swept up Gu Song, Guan Che, and Er Gou and the other two, turning them into a streak of blue light and leaving the restaurant.
After a while.
Inside a detached house, several streets away.
This place is Guan Che's temporary lodging.
The group began to sit facing each other and drink.
While Gu Song and Guan Che were quite surprised, they were also delighted that Er Gou had successfully established his foundation.
After all, they got along quite well, and having another Foundation Establishment cultivator with whom they had a good relationship was naturally a good thing.
soon.
Lin Li then took Er Gou and left. After all, Er Gou had only recently established his foundation, and the most important thing was to consolidate his cultivation in seclusion in his cave until the auction was over.
Then we can go back to Baiquanhu Market with them.
On the road.
Lin Li led Er Gou to a secluded alley and slowly walked forward, while casting several illusionary barriers around them.
"Fellow Daoist Er Gou, please take a look at the contents of this jade slip."
Lin Li had imprinted all the pre-prepared entrustments into this communication jade slip.
This situation is strikingly similar to the previous task Yuan Xiudao entrusted with taking care of the monkeys and their offspring on Green Ape Mountain.
They were all forced to do it out of necessity.
It is likely that only by cultivating to the Golden Core stage, or even the Nascent Soul stage or above, can one reduce such constraints.
"Master, this..."
Er Gou probed a wisp of his divine sense into the jade slip. After reading the contents of the jade slip, his eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Fellow Daoist Er Gou, if you agree to the matter I have entrusted to you, then we can sign a spiritual contract."
"A hundred years from now, you may choose where you wish to go."
After Lin Li finished speaking, he took out a spiritual contract.
"Master, Er Gou is willing to sign the spirit contract. If it weren't for the foundation-building spirit item you gave me, Er Gou would never have been able to succeed in building his foundation. You have been very kind to Er Gou and Brother Mo all the way from Yunzhou."
"Er Gou will never forget kindness!"
"Master, Er Gou is unwilling to break the master-servant contract with you. Er Gou will definitely fulfill the task given to you by you and guard the Sanyang Spring until the day Er Gou passes away."
Er Gou released his Foundation Establishment divine sense and immediately left a mark on the spiritual contract. At the same time, when he tried to kneel down, he found himself being lifted up by a remarkable wind-elemental spiritual energy, making it difficult for him to kneel down.
In the blink of an eye, before Er Gou could react...
The spirit talisman of the master-servant contract deep within his sea of consciousness vanished instantly.
"Ergou, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back after I leave."
"The master-servant contract remains in effect. If my soul is scattered, you will also suffer the consequences."
"As long as you can guard the Three Yang Spring and protect those younger generations, that will be enough."
"This storage bag contains the magical artifacts and talismans I gave you, as well as a Foundation Establishment item."
"Make sure you keep it safe."
Lin Li voluntarily terminated the master-servant contract, took out a dusty storage bag, and entrusted it to Er Gou.
The spiritual items in this storage bag are only a very small portion of what was originally taken from the Treasure Pavilion. If too many were given to Er Gou...
If other cultivators notice anything unusual, it won't be a good thing.
"Owner…"
"Let Er Gou go with you. No matter how strong the enemy is, Er Gou has now advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, and now..."
Er Gou hadn't finished speaking.
Lin Li then mobilized a wisp of power from the Core Formation Divine Sense Token, which instantly transformed into an almost invisible stream of light and disappeared in front of Er Gou.
"Ergou, protecting Sanyangquan is my last entrustment to you."
Lin Li's voice transmission rang in Er Gou's ears, whose eyes were red-rimmed.
