"Yes."
"But doesn't it require an Establishing Foundation Stage cultivation base?"
Qin Changqing smiled faintly: "Yes, that's why I've also reached the Foundation Establishment Stage."
Jin Hong was dumbfounded.
Wasn't it just a small breakthrough?
How did it go directly to the Establishing Foundation Stage?
"Brother Qin, with your talent, wouldn't it be better for you to practice within the sect?"
He felt that the rumors about Qin Changqing were nonsense. What did they mean by his talent was not good enough? This was not good enough?
"No need, I still prefer the worldly life."
Qin Changqing took out several Holding Spirit Pills and two bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills and handed them to Jin Hong.
Since he had come down the mountain, Jin Hong had helped him a lot.
Not to mention, Su Xiaoyue was introduced to him thanks to Jin Hong's matchmaking.
This guy was very practical.
Jin Hong hesitated for a moment, but seeing Qin Changqing's insistence, he gratefully accepted them.
Qin Changqing also warned the others about the matter of the demon cultivators.
Especially Lian Caini, who was one of the secular disciples from Heiyu Town. She often had to go out and handle things, so it was better for her not to go out during this time.
Anyway, with the Qin Family Commerce, Yun Family and Su Family helping out, Heiyu Town always sent more than enough silver and supplies to Yinxu Prefecture every quarter.
With only thirteen days left until the Sect's Grand Competition, Qin Changqing ignored Mo Jiuzhou's daily exhortations and continued to enjoy his time at home with his wives.
After Shu Tian awakened her childrearing physique, her spiritual root also reached Tier 8 lower-level. Qin Changqing wanted to test the strength of this physique, so he worked hard for several more days.
Unfortunately, pregnancy wasn't something that could be accomplished in one day.
Furthermore, even if Shu Tian could conceive, Qin Changqing couldn't show favoritism.
Aside from her, Su Xiaoyue, Xi'er and others were also eagerly waiting to be fed.
Helpless, Qin Changqing could only drink the nourishing soup and dutifully shoulder the responsibilities of a man.
He felt that one at a time was too inefficient and had planned to throw a party with everyone, but the women of this era were still relatively conservative. Even outgoing girls like Xi'er and Bai Yan couldn't muster up the courage to push their husband's buttocks.
Qin Changqing had to reluctantly give up on the idea for the time being.
Ten days later, he left the Qin Mansion and returned to the sect.
There were only three days left until the Sect's Grand Competition!
The news that the top ten participants would be instructed by the Sect Leader had already spread throughout the entire sect.
Who was the Sect Leader?
She was the number one genius of the Lingxiao Sect for a thousand years, holder of the sect's fastest cultivation record; Fairy Meng, who was rumored to have reached the Nascent Soul Peak decades ago, was famous throughout Qingyun!
Once she broke through the Nascent Soul Stage and reached the Void Refinement Realm, the sect would qualify to be promoted to fourth grade.
Of course, this was just a qualification. After all, the strength of a sect was holistic, including the strength of its disciples, resources, and so on.
However, looking at the sect's development strategy in recent years, many elders had a premonition that the Sect Leader would take action during this session of the Immortal Ascension Conference.
The change in the rewards for the Sect's Grand Competition was a sign.
However, some things were better left unsaid, since the forces within Tianchuan State were complex, and even if they were all in the same righteous camp, it didn't mean they shared the same heart.
When Qin Changqing entered the Lingxiao Sect, the scene of bustling cultivation made him feel extremely uncomfortable as a lazy person.
Hey, hey, hey! What are you guys doing? Don't be so diligent.
"Brother Qin."
"Brother Qin is here."
"Hello, Brother Qin."
One by one, the passing sect disciples greeted him.
Qin Changqing also smiled and greeted them back.
After he walked by, the group of people started to whisper among themselves.
"Did you guys notice? This time Brother Qin seems different when he came up the mountain."
"I felt it too. It's like he's more transcendent, like an expert."
"What do you think Brother Qin is here for? To participate in the Sect's Grand Competition?"
"It's impossible! I heard from a senior brother that when Brother Qin went down the mountain, he hadn't even reached the late stage of Cultivating Qi. It's only been ten years; how could he possibly reach Establishing Foundation Stage?"
"That's true..."The voice gradually faded away.
Qin Changqing didn't care, and went all the way to Xuanyi Peak. He saw that Mo Jiuzhou was teaching his disciples at the cultivation ground in front of the main hall.
With the Sect's Grand Competition approaching, Mo Jiuzhou, the lazy master, couldn't slack off any longer. It was too troublesome for many disciples to come to him one by one with their questions.
So, he just held a lecture.
"Eh? Senior Brother is here!"
A junior sister exclaimed with joy.
Soon, everyone turned their heads to look at Qin Changqing.
Qin Changqing walked up to the crowd, bowed to Mo Jiuzhou, who was sitting on a cushion on the stage, and said, "Master."
"Hmm, you're here," Mo Jiuzhou nodded slightly, "But you're ten days later than my notice."
"Disciple was entangled in mundane affairs, I hope master will forgive me."
In reality, he had been wrestling with his wife.
However, in public, Qin Changqing still had to give Mo Jiuzhou some respect.
Mo Jiuzhou did not speak but spread his sleeves, rose into the air with no wind, and landed slowly in front of Qin Changqing.
Then, he grabbed Qin Changqing's arm.
A moment later, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You actually... Hiss ~ Strange, very strange."
Qin Changqing knew that the old man had discovered his Foundation Establishment.
"Disciple was lucky to encounter an opportunity."
"Haha! You did not disappoint your master!" Mo Jiuzhou laughed unstoppably.
Below the stage, the disciples looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why their master laughed.
Mo Jiuzhou looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "For this Sect's Grand Competition, your senior brother will lead you."
There was an uproar!
"Senior Brother has reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"How did it happen so fast?"
"Senior Brother is amazing!"
"Great!"
Surprise, confusion, and finally joy... The nearly twenty disciples in the Establishing Foundation Stage were the entire force of Xuanyi Peak participating in the competition.
They were all younger than Qin Changqing, but not one of them had lower cultivation.
The most powerful, Baiyun Mountain, was now at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.
However, everyone felt that as long as their senior brother was there, they felt at ease.
"Senior brother actually established his foundation?" In the crowd, Qin Lingshuang was radiant, feeling agitated in her heart.
Qin Changqing's establishing his foundation meant that he had broken through the mundane shackles of cultivation, and could live at least 200 years.
Then, in the future, she would have more time to explore the great Dao with her senior brother.
"I wonder how Junior Sister Bai Yan is doing."
Qin Lingshuang thought silently.
"Come, come, my good disciple, let your master take a good look."
After finishing the lecture, Mo Jiuzhou couldn't wait to pull Qin Changqing into the courtyard.
He had just done a simple examination before and found that Qin Changqing had a solid foundation, jade-like meridians, and his internal spiritual Qi was like a river, far beyond the reach of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After examining him more carefully now, the joy on his face grew even more intense.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Mo Jiuzhou said the word 'good' three times.
"Alright, alright." Qin Changqing pulled his hand back with disgust, "Old man, I'll charge you if you touch me again."
"Hehe~ You stinky boy, I've been raising you for all these years for nothing. But you really surprised me. I never thought that the 'Heavenly Foundation Establishment' rumored among cultivators would appear on my disciple. Haha!"
"Heavenly Foundation Establishment?" Qin Changqing was a bit puzzled, "What is that?"
Mo Jiuzhou was not surprised, "It's normal for you not to know.
The so-called Heavenly Foundation Establishment is the strongest Foundation Establishment that cultivators often talk about. It aims to comprehend the way of the heavens and the earth, infusing the spiritual Qi of the heavens and the earth into the body to form a spiritual flame that burns the internal organs, then expands the meridians, breaks through the acupoints, and connects the Heaven Bridge and Earth Bridge."
"I guess you must have suffered a lot during your Foundation Establishment, right?"
Qin Changqing paused, he understood the first half of the explanation. However, he had never seen any records about the Heaven Bridge and Earth Bridge in the scriptures he had read.
