Chapter 476 383: Liuyan Life-matching Extraordinary Method

Having immersed himself in the ways of formation mastery for many years, Liu Changdie simply went down to investigate two times and then clearly understood the distribution of the Earth Veins within, his eyes emitting a brilliant light, clear and spirited.

The Pupil Technique he used was acquired from the Li Family, known as Clear Vision Spiritual Pupil, which no one in the Li Family had yet managed to cultivate.

Contrarily, Liu Changdie's formation mastery cultivation allowed him to earn a good amount of Spirit Stones. He had no family to support, traveled around seeking mystical waters, and spent over a decade to successfully cultivate it.

After studying the area for a while, Liu Changdie decided to set up the Great Formation "Green Ox River Embracing Formation," a new formation he learned in Linghai County. It could harness the power of the lakes surrounding Qingdu Mountain and combine it with the water and Earth Veins to fend off enemies.

Without the power of Foundation Establishment, one would struggle to break this Great Formation for quite some time, even holding up for half an hour in front of regular Foundation Establishment cultivators, which was considered quite exceptional among those at the peak of Qi Cultivation.

The formations in Linghai County often integrated witchcraft, possessing offensive capabilities in addition to defense. The "Green Ox River Embracing Formation" was no exception—it could summon magical green oxen through the Great Formation to strike those attacking it.

Li Yuanjiao listened with satisfaction and inquired in detail. This formation would require a large amount of Green Crow, and your family happens to have this type of ore vein, which could save a sum of Spirit Stones. In the end, it would need a hundred Spirit Stones.

"Elder Brother Changdie is being too modest!"

Li Yuanjiao frowned upon hearing this. If they really settled on a hundred Spirit Stones, his family would end up owing Liu Changdie a favor. He insisted on him accepting one hundred and fifteen Spirit Stones, only then did he drop the matter.

Liu Changdie stayed for several months, and the vivid green Great Formation had already risen over Qingdu Mountain. Kong Yu once said that there would be small peaks rising near Qingdu Mountain in a few years, so Li Yuanjiao specially expanded the area to leave space for those peaks.

After partaking in the farewell wine, Liu Changdie stayed another half month before finally deciding to head to the territory of the Xiuyue Sect in the north to study formations and seek a breakthrough opportunity.

Liu Changdie was too heavily encumbered. Despite his words hinting at a willingness to stay with the Li Family as a Guest Elder, Li Yuanjiao didn't dare to accept him. He politely brushed it aside and, together with Li Qinghong, escorted him out of their territory.

Liu Changdie left with reluctance, bidding Li Yuanjiao farewell and sighing heavily in his heart:

"No more closeness, no more closeness... The Li Family is cautious by nature, now without over a decade of association, they cannot trust me."

Feeling dejected, he flew out from Wangyue Lake, drifting towards the north.

Li Yuanjiao and Li Qinghong escorted him out of the territory, crossing over the lake. Midway, they saw a monk with narrow eyes approaching on the wind, clasping his hands together, and offering congratulations:

"Congratulations, Taoist Fellow, on cultivating your Immortal Foundation."

This person was naturally the monk Kongheng, who had lent a hand to the Li Family during the calamity and was still cultivating on the lake. Although the Li Family didn't know his purpose, they owed him a favor, so Li Yuanjiao could only reply warmly:

"Thank you, Master."

Kongheng nodded and said to Li Qinghong:

"When this monk traveled around the world, I heard of a peak on Mushroom Forest Plain called Heavenly Thunder Peak. If you plan on making a breakthrough, you might consider going there for seclusion. Maybe it will be beneficial."

After saying this, Kongheng excused himself and once again floated down to the lake, rolled up his trouser legs, and started digging for lotus roots on the shore. His cultivation technique was quite unusual, perhaps he had reached a bottleneck, as he was rarely seen in seclusion.

The siblings were bewildered and could only continue on their way. Li Qinghong murmured:

"What's the meaning of this monk's words?"

Li Yuanjiao shook his head, as he was inherently distrustful, and there was doubt in his words. He simply answered:

"Who knows."

Li Qinghong paused for a moment and then said quietly:

"Have someone check it out. If it's feasible, it might be worth a try."

"Mushroom Forest Plain is the Yuan Family's territory. If it's as the monk says, we could let them know. Making a breakthrough on the peak might be a good idea..."

Talking as they returned to the peak, they sent someone to inquire with the Yuan Family. Li Qinghong went down to cultivate and adjust her breath while Li Yuanjiao took out the Foundation Establishment Array Plate from his Storage Bag, pondering over the Pig Demon in Da Li Mountain.

'I must quickly eliminate this underling. Not only could I get White Talismans for Ximing and Xijun, but it would also free up the vast North Foothills for harvesting Qi and medicines, which would greatly benefit my family.'

Li Yuanjiao waited for several days, and soon someone from the Yuan Family responded, with Yuan Huyuan himself coming to visit.

Yuan Huyuan, at the peak of Qi Cultivating cultivation level, appeared extremely complicated, almost to the point of embarrassment. He then returned to Qingdu Mountain and stared blankly at Li Yuanjiao, murmuring:

"You've really established your foundation!!"

Li Yuanjiao didn't understand why he had such a strong reaction and simply replied:

"Yuanjiao greets the elder..."

He naturally couldn't relate to the shock Yuan Huyuan felt.

When Yuan Huyuan first came to Wangyue Lake, Li Chijin was merely at the peak of Fetal Breathing, and Li Tongya hadn't even broken through Yujing Wheel.

Later, Li Chijin became a Sword Immortal, Li Tongya cultivated an Immortal Foundation, and Yuan Huyuan was already finding it unbelievable. Now, the junior's junior, Li Yuanjiao, had broken through to Foundation Establishment. How could such news not stun the old man?

Li Yuanjiao called out to him several times before Yuan Huyuan came to his senses, sighing deeply:

"It is my own indecisiveness... always waiting for that opportunity, letting one year after another slip by! To end up in this state!"

Yuan Huyuan breathed out a sigh, seeming much more resolved. He told himself: "This time when I return, I shall break through to Foundation Establishment!"

With his determination set, his entire demeanor changed. He smiled broadly and cupped his hands in salute, saying:

"Congratulations, Taoist Fellow, on breaking through to Foundation Establishment!"

After talking for a while, Yuan Huyuan finally said:

"Regarding the matter your family asked me to look into, I have investigated. On Mushroom Forest Plain, there really is a peak called Heavenly Thunder Peak. There is a thunder ore mine within it; therefore, the peak suffers from lightning strikes year after year, leaving the entire mountain scorched and black."
