Chapter 66: Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator
As Lu Bingzhi and his group set off, streaks of light flashed across the east and north banks of Longhu Town, flying rapidly in the same direction.
However, the Liu and Huang families also set off.
As they flew into the sky, Yang Jiuli and the others were able to see the full view of Longhu Town, where they had lived for three months.
Longhu is very large.
The western mountains are layered, and a great river flows from the west, with the waters of a tributary converging in Longhu Town.
Lu Bingzhi led the group and flew towards the great river.
Finally, we arrived at the end of the river.
There is a steep, high mountain there.
A waterfall 200 meters wide cascades down from the mountaintop like a silver river, turning into a pool below.
The surging waves rolled up, and the mist spread.
This mountain was then called Longhu Mountain.
Its cascading waterfalls have created numerous lakes.
In the valley beside Dragon Abyss, a celestial platform has been built.
Every seven years, the Azure Flame Immortal Sect and a few aristocratic families would come here to select promising immortal talents.
At this time, the envoys from the two major immortal sects had not yet arrived.
The cultivators from the seven Foundation Establishment families have already arrived.
"What a magnificent waterfall!" On the tiger-skin flying carpet, Qin Zhixue's gaze sharpened, knowing that the waterfall was also slightly amazed.
"Is this the Dragon Lake formed by this waterfall?" Tang Yifan murmured.
"Hehe, this is called Longhu Mountain Waterfall..." Lu Bingzhi stroked his beard and laughed.
"Longhu Mountain Waterfall..." Tang Yifan secretly memorized the name and looked ahead.
"Legend has it that a thousand years ago, there was a golden carp in the river of this mountain. After cultivating here for three hundred years, it finally attained immortality and transformed into a golden dragon. Therefore, this mountain was renamed Dragon Lake Mountain. To share in the joy, the major immortal sects set up their selection sites here, hoping that the disciples they accepted would be like that golden carp, leaping over the dragon gate and achieving legendary immortality."
Lu Bingzhi smiled.
"I see!" Yang Jiuli nodded slightly.
As he spoke, Lu Bingzhi slowed down his flight and gently landed on the bluestone ground below the Sendai in the valley.
Before the envoys from the two major immortal sects arrived, Lu Bingzhi handed over the identity information of several of his family's promising immortal talents to the stewards of the seven Foundation Establishment families, hoping that if his family's promising immortal talents were not selected by the two major immortal sects, they could still catch the eye of these seven families.
The Liu family members behind them also fell behind.
Liu Yuelong stepped forward to greet Yang Jiuli and the others, and then waited.
The Huang family members stood to the side.
At this time, third-rate families from seventeen nearby towns arrived one after another with their people.
Six of these towns are under the jurisdiction of the Glacier Valley.
Because it is the place where the two major immortal sects meet, they select immortal talents together at Longhu Mountain, just to make up the number.
Yang Jiuli secretly observed the people of the seven great families.
All seven great families set up tables and desks in the blue stone training ground below Sendai.
A scholar is in charge of registering the information of potential seedlings so that outstanding seedlings can be selected later.
There was also a steward at the ninth level of Qi Refining standing nearby.
In addition, there were two middle-aged men at the seventh level of Qi Refining guarding each of them.
After Lu Bingzhi handed out the information about the seedlings to each family, a rainbow streaked across the sky.
Then a cry rang out, and a huge ice sparrow with a wingspan of six meters and emanating a chilling aura flew over.
People below Longhu Sendai all looked up.
But atop the ice sparrow stood a stunningly beautiful woman in a long green dress, wielding a cold jade spirit sword.
"They've arrived! The fairy from Ice River Valley has arrived!" Below the platform, members of various families were overjoyed, their faces filled with excitement.
"What a huge bird!" Tang Yifan looked up and clicked his tongue in amazement when he saw the ice sparrow.
Yang Jiuli's gaze shifted as he looked at the woman on the ice sparrow.
The woman wore a light veil and had a cold gaze as she looked down at the waiting cultivators below.
An invisible, powerful pressure swept down, like a mountain pressing down.
Under this powerful pressure, all the cultivators on the platform below involuntarily bowed and took two steps back.
"Foundation Establishment cultivators!" Yang Jiuli murmured. "No wonder Ice River Valley has Core Formation cultivators."
He muttered to himself, then looked at Qin Zhixue beside him.
"I want to become a cultivator like that too!" Qin Zhixue's beautiful eyes shone brightly as she looked at the woman in the green dress with a burning desire.
Her delicate hand unconsciously gripped the long sword tightly.
"This fairy's aura is so strong, even a grandmaster is not as powerful as her!" Tang Yifan was secretly surprised and whispered.
"Of course!" Yang Jiuli said.
The pressure carried by the divine sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is far beyond that of a Grandmaster.
The next instant, the giant ice sparrow landed on the platform, and an extremely cold aura swept out from the ice sparrow.
The cultivators below the platform all shivered.
"This Ice Sparrow has also reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment!" Yang Jiuli thought to himself, "It seems that the resources of the Chu Kingdom are quite abundant."
The fact that even a spirit pet can reach the early stage of Foundation Establishment is enough to show that this immortal sect envoy has no shortage of resources.
After all, this woman was only at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage, yet she had managed to cultivate her spirit pet to the Foundation Establishment stage, which shows how wealthy the Ice River Valley is.
This gave Yang Jiuli more anticipation for his future foundation-building endeavors.
Even the sect's cultivators are struggling to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
For ordinary scions of noble families, achieving the Foundation Establishment stage would be an incredibly difficult task.
The woman in the green dress gracefully leaped down from the ice sparrow, landing on a small lotus-shaped platform in the center of the platform.
Ice Sparrow landed on the rear platform, its wings folded, its body as large as a wild bull, quite majestic.
The woman in the green dress looked at the crowd with her clear, cold eyes.
The woman in the green dress only glanced at him, yet her powerful aura dominated the area.
Even Yang Jiuli felt his breathing become heavy under this aura, as if his soul was being crushed by a mountain.
There seems to be an insurmountable gap between Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators.
"Greetings, Master Luo!"
"Greetings, Immortal Master Luo!" Lu Bingzhi and the others below the platform bowed in unison, their faces filled with awe and they dared not look up.
They were afraid of offending the divine might.
Yang Jiuli and the others also bowed in greeting.
The woman's name was Luo Qiuping, and she had a cultivation level at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage.
"Is everyone here?" Luo Qiuping asked, glancing at the people below the stage.
Her voice was ethereal and melodious, with a touch of aloofness amidst its nobility.
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, only the Immortal Master of the Azure Flame Immortal Sect is missing!" An old man with a white beard bowed as he stood below the platform.
This is Zhou Li, the steward of the Zhou family, with a cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Upon hearing this, Luo Qiuping nodded slightly but did not say anything more.
"Hehe, I've kept you all waiting!" Just then, a hearty laugh rang out.
Then a middle-aged scholar-like man, with a flute at his waist and dressed in a blue robe, flew over riding a green-scaled winged python.
Two young men stood beside the man.
"It's my elder brother, Liu Chen!" Liu Yuelong said excitedly, looking at one of the young men in the middle.
He looked at Qin Zhixue and Yang Jiuli with a proud expression.
"Oh?" Yang Jiuli looked at a young man beside the middle-aged man, who had a storage bag embroidered with herbs hanging from his waist.
He does resemble Liu Yuelong somewhat.
This person must be the cousin Liu Yuelong mentioned.
"The man riding the winged python seems to have an even stronger aura!" Tang Yifan secretly glanced at the middle-aged scholar on the green-scaled winged python.
