Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

In the end, Ning Sujin did not agree with Ning Yutan’s suggestion from someone whose divine soul was incomplete.

The Soul Cultivation Heart Method itself is intricate and meticulous, and the risks of cultivation are not small. If it were relayed through Ning Yutan, it might not be comprehensive, so she still planned to teach it personally.

As Ning Yutan closed her eyes, Li Ji’an, as usual, performed physiotherapy on her while casually mouthing words to Ning Sujin.

He knew that Ning Sujin could understand, and although there was no feedback, he found his own enjoyment.

In this world, perhaps only Ning Sujin, who was now only a soul body, could listen to his musings.

He told Ning Sujin that if given the chance, he wanted to return to the Immortal Dynasty, to see how that land, free from the Liu Family’s torment, had fared.

He explained to Ning Sujin why the Immortal Dynasty was referred to as a desolate land, and also mentioned that aside from the Storm Forbidden Land, there were other forsaken lands.

He also updated Ning Sujin on the current trends in the Celestial Cyan Cultivation Domain...

Just as today’s physiotherapy was about to end, Xiaoqiao’s voice came from outside.

After successfully completing Foundation Establishment, she had been in seclusion to stabilize her cultivation, and today she had finally emerged.

Besides this, she also had an unexpected gain and wanted to share it with Uncle Li immediately.

"Come in!" Li Ji’an transmitted his voice.

"Uncle Li..." Xiaoqiao came in excitedly, then immediately saw Ning Yutan, almost half-naked, on the cold jade bed.

"I’m sorry, Uncle Li. I’ll come back later."

Li Ji’an smiled faintly, "It’s fine, Yutan’s treatment is almost finished."

"Little Sister Qiao." Hearing the voice, Ning Yutan opened her eyes, with a hint of shyness on her face.

There was the awkwardness of being caught by a girlfriend’s dad while being intimate.

"Sister Tan, are you hurt?" Having been in seclusion since her Foundation Establishment, Xiaoqiao was unaware of Ning Yutan seeking treatment from Li Ji’an.

In the past decade of daily interaction, her relationship with Ning Yutan had grown increasingly close.

"Yutan is not hurt, just lacking in physique, making the Foundation Establishment First Barrier difficult to pass, so I’m strengthening her physique," Li Ji’an explained, sensing Ning Yutan’s inexplicable shyness.

"Oh, I see." Xiaoqiao nodded with a smile, then stood beside Li Ji’an, waiting for the treatment to finish.

Once the treatment was over, Ning Yutan tactfully thanked them and took her leave.

"Uncle Li, my Foundation Establishment Realm is already stable." With no one else around, Xiaoqiao immediately activated her magical power to share the good news with Li Ji’an.

Li Ji’an nodded with a smile, "Not bad, even more refined than my magical power when I first established my foundation."

The cultivation technique purchased for Xiaoqiao back then was a superior Earth Element Technique that he had meticulously selected.

In the Five Elements Technique, the Earth Element Technique is relatively heavier compared to the other four elements. Additionally, as an Earth Spirit Master, Xiaoqiao continuously draws Earth Spiritual Mechanism from the earth, enhancing her magical power.

"Consider this my Foundation Establishment gift to you!" Li Ji’an raised his hand again, revealing a Yellow Stone Shield.

This was a top-tier protective magical artifact that he had stumbled upon while delivering spirit talismans in the Celestial River Immortal City last time.

However, after a few attempts, he found that his Fire Element Magical Power couldn’t fully harness its potential.

"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Xiaoqiao happily accepted the top-tier Yellow Stone Shield, feeling a familiar Earth Element aura from it.

"Uncle Li, I have more good news for you." After putting away the Yellow Stone Shield, Xiaoqiao continued mysteriously.

"Oh? Let’s hear it." Li Ji’an smiled slightly.

"Uncle Li, after establishing my foundation, I unknowingly broke through the Tier Three bottleneck of the Earth Spirit Scripture." Xiaoqiao’s eyes widened, her mouth almost unable to contain her excitement.

"Tier Three Earth Spirit Master!" Li Ji’an was equally shocked.

According to the Iron Book, an Earth Spirit Master requires a mysterious talent in harmony with the earth, and without it, one cannot achieve anything.

Even with talent, very few could break through to Tier Three, even in ancient times.

A Tier Three Earth Spirit Master has the foundational capability to change the heavens and earth, definitely beyond magical power.

Previously, Li Ji’an always thought Xiaoqiao being a Second Tier Earth Spirit Master was the limit, never expecting such a huge surprise.

"Yes!" Xiaoqiao nodded decisively, then casually waved toward the courtyard outside.

Buzz~

A tremor reverberated from the ground.

Li Ji’an’s eyes narrowed instantly, his divine sense suddenly capturing the dense gathering of Earth Spirit Mechanism in the courtyard.

"Uncle Li, I can now form arrays with a wave of my hand, gather the essence of the earth with a gesture, and even alter the course of the earth veins."

"Excellent!" Li Ji’an couldn’t help but shout in praise.

"Uncle Li, should I gather more Earth Spirit Essence at Solitary Peak? It’s very beneficial for the growth of spirit plants." Xiaoqiao blinked her eyes expectantly.

"No need, if the movements are too large, they might be detected by Sect Elders, posing too great a risk for you." Li Ji’an refused decisively.

Xiaoqiao’s ability, once known by outsiders, could lead to unpredictable outcomes. While it might invite admiration as an Earth Master, there’s a greater chance of losing personal freedom.

This is unlike talents in pills, artifacts, talismans, arrays where talent abounds, and skills are almost synonymous with cultivation.

The abilities of an Earth Spirit Master tend to be auxiliary; their power in magical combat does not match their skills.

A Tier Three Earth Spirit Master can accomplish changing the earth veins, a feat beyond even a Golden Core True Man or a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but lacks the same combat prowess for guardian paths, making them easy to control.

Conversely, Talisman Masters, Puppet Masters, and others often have the combat strength at the Core Formation Stage, with spirit talismans as trump cards for protection.

"Since you’ve achieved Foundation Establishment, why not move to the Core Dao Field here? You can establish a private medicinal field, and I can transplant those herbs for you." Li Ji’an, understanding Xiaoqiao’s intentions, suggested.
