Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 108 - 85: Foundation Established, Two Hundred Years of Lifespan, Sect Leader and Yun Qingyue’s Shock!

Chapter 108: Chapter 85: Foundation Established, Two Hundred Years of Lifespan, Sect Leader and Yun Qingyue’s Shock!

At this moment, a clear and cold voice came from outside the cave mansion.

"Sect Leader, Yun Qingyue requests an audience."

Outside the array of the small island, Yun Qingyue, whose appearance was as beautiful as an icy mountain beauty, was waiting.

"So it is Junior Sister Yun, please come in."

Seeing it was Yun Qingyue, Situ Jiang nodded and with a wave of his sleeve, opened a gap in the array, allowing Yun Qingyue to enter.

Tap, tap.

Slowly entering the cave mansion, Yun Qingyue glanced around and saw only one person, who was the just emerged Situ Jiang.

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

Upon seeing Situ Jiang, Yun Qingyue saluted him.

"No need for formalities, what brings you here to see me this time?" Situ Jiang asked Yun Qingyue.

Yun Qingyue was very reclusive and normally would not come to him without reason.

Coming to his cave mansion now must mean something has happened.

"Yes, Sect Leader, there is news that over at the Western Border Spirit Stone Mine, Celestial Soul Hall is stirring up trouble again..." Yun Qingyue reported.

"Celestial Soul Hall..."

Hearing this, Situ Jiang nodded slightly. While feeling helpless, a hint of sharpness also flashed in his eyes.

In the past year or two, the actions of Celestial Soul Hall have been quite frequent.

Although it hasn’t reached the point of inciting sect war, Wind Moon Sect cannot let this probing continue indefinitely, otherwise it would be a huge impact on the morale of everyone.

Wind Moon Sect needs to retaliate.

But such retaliation cannot be too strong or impulsive, lest it triggers a sect war.

"How is the Supreme Elder now?"

At this moment, Situ Jiang thought of Profound Sword True Master, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

Since Profound Sword True Master was instructed on the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method by Qi Chuan, he has been in complete seclusion, and even Situ Jiang was strictly ordered before the seclusion that unless summoned, no one was to go to Moon Shadow Mountain, no matter how urgent the matter.

As such, if a sect war broke out and Profound Sword True Master did not emerge on his own, Wind Moon Sect would lose its only Core Formation combat power.

With this concern, Situ Jiang was even more cautious about provoking a sect war.

After all, without Profound Sword True Master, Wind Moon Sect would be too weak to contend against Celestial Soul Hall, which possesses Core Formation True Masters.

Moreover, a sect war could disrupt the seclusion of Profound Sword True Master. If this caused his failure to advance to Nascent Soul True Monarch, that would be the gravest consequence.

"What is the exact situation now? I ask Junior Sister Yun to elaborate." With thoughts in mind, Situ Jiang said to Yun Qingyue.

Hearing this, Yun Qingyue nodded, saying: "Over at the Western Border Spirit Stone Mine, several true disciples of Celestial Soul Hall have appeared, and more importantly, a Foundation Establishment Elder has shown up..."

"That Foundation Establishment Elder is a newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator, previously the top of Celestial Soul Hall’s ten true disciples, Lin Sha, who was once defeated by me. Now, at the Western Border Spirit Stone Mine, he’s stirring up a lot of trouble."

"A newly advanced true disciple, Lin Sha..." Situ Jiang nodded, pondered for a moment, then said: "Since this Lin Sha was once defeated by you, can you..."

Usually, there is a Foundation Establishment Elder stationed at the Western Border Spirit Stone Mine for Wind Moon Sect.

Now, with such troubling news, it is evident that the Foundation Establishment Elder from Celestial Soul Hall is probably not alone, otherwise, a single Wind Moon Sect Elder should be able to handle them.

In this case, Wind Moon Sect should also increase their manpower and Foundation Establishment combat power.

Situ Jiang was about to suggest that Yun Qingyue secretly leads a team of true and inner sect disciples to the Western Border Spirit Stone Mine to handle Lin Sha, since the latter was once defeated by Yun Qingyue, she should have some advantage dealing with him.

On the other hand, Yun Qingyue had already guessed what Situ Jiang might say next, thinking he might ask her to lead people to the Western Border Spirit Stone Mine.

She wasn’t against this, willing to work for the sect.

Creak.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a sudden sound came from deep within the cave mansion.

"Hmm?"

The unexpected sound immediately caught the attention of both individuals present, interrupting their conversation, and they looked towards the depths of the cave mansion.

They saw the stone door of a stone house within the cave mansion slowly opening.

"The Sect Leader actually has others here?"

Watching the stone door slowly open, Yun Qingyue’s icy demeanor revealed a hint of surprise.

One must know, this is the cave mansion of the sect leader of Wind Moon Sect.

And the stone house inside, if her guess is correct, should be the area with the highest concentration of Spirit Qi in the cave mansion, usually the place for the sect leader’s seclusion.

This means that not only is there someone else inside the cave mansion, but this person also has access to the sect leader’s seclusion area, indicating a very close relationship.

"Who could it be?"

Seeing this, a hint of curiosity appeared on Yun Qingyue’s jade-white face.

In usual times, she had never seen the Sect Leader being particularly close to any Elder... Normally, they would be entertained outside, not in the depths of the cave mansion.

For a moment, she didn’t think of Situ Jiang’s only disciple, Qi Chuan.

After all, in her impression, Qi Chuan was still at the Qi Refining Seventh or Eighth Layer, and even when seeking the Sect Leader, there was no need to use the stone house with Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Qi concentration.

It couldn’t be that during ordinary cultivation sessions, the Sect Leader would allow Qi Chuan to use the stone house with Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Qi concentration, as that would be overly indulgent.

She secretly wondered if the person emerging would be another female elder besides herself... but that seemed even more unlikely...

"The stone door is opening, could it be that Qi Chuan is coming out?"

At this moment, with thoughts completely different from Yun Qingyue’s guesses, Situ Jiang looked on and saw the stone house door opening, suddenly feeling uneasy, fearing the worst.

Knowing that it had been only about a month since Qi Chuan entered to attempt Foundation Establishment!

Under normal circumstances, the Qi Refining Tenth Layer attempting Foundation Establishment usually takes at least around three months.

Qi Chuan came out too soon.

In such a short time, succeeding in Foundation Establishment seemed almost impossible. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Emerging now probably indicated that Qi Chuan’s Foundation Establishment might have failed.

If it failed, at worst, his mana would be damaged, and at worst, his cultivation would regress, and his meridians and Dantian would be harmed.

"Hopefully, the consequences aren’t too severe, and it’s just damage to his mana..."

At this moment, Situ Jiang sighed heavily.

In fact, in his view, even if Qi Chuan failed at Foundation Establishment, given his youth and high talent, there would be opportunities to attempt again, perhaps more than once.

So even if his cultivation regressed, it might be somewhat acceptable, as long as his meridians and Dantian weren’t severely damaged. He also hoped Qi Chuan wouldn’t be demoralized by the failure.

As Situ Jiang and Yun Qingyue watched with completely different mindsets, the stone house door was now fully open, and Qi Chuan’s figure appeared in their field of vision.

"It’s actually Qi Chuan? Why is he here, and even in the Sect Leader’s seclusion area?"

Upon seeing Qi Chuan, a big question mark popped up in Yun Qingyue’s mind.

Finding it hard to understand, did the Sect Leader truly indulge this disciple to such an extent as to let him cultivate in his private seclusion area during ordinary times?

"Master!"

Across from them, Qi Chuan had just emerged, saw Situ Jiang, and smiled, then saluted him.

Yet before he could speak, he noticed someone else beside him, and immediately, with slight surprise, clasped his fists and said: "Elder Yun is here as well? Qi Chuan greets Elder Yun."

"Qi Chuan, how do you feel now? Is there any discomfort in your body... Hmm? Something’s not right... you this..." Upon seeing Qi Chuan, Situ Jiang, at first, displayed a touch of worry, but soon his expression changed to one of surprise as he looked at Qi Chuan.

Qi Chuan appeared pleased and content, with a calm complexion, steady and long breath, and composed demeanor.

He showed no signs of a failed Foundation Establishment attempt.
