Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

With the help of Huo Canghai, Zhao Yu moved into a cave mansion in the Market Center District of Xiaoyuan Mountain, and then opened a shop named Xiaodan Pavilion in the best location of Xiaoyuan Mountain Market.

After Zhao Yu released a batch of Superior Yellow Spirit Pills and Superior Red Jade Pills at Xiaodan Pavilion, he immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators within Xiaoyuan Mountain Market.

There were also two Alchemists in Xiaoyuan Mountain Market, but their alchemy skills were mediocre and they simply couldn't produce Superior Grade Spirit Pills.

Xiaodan Pavilion instantly drew in many cultivators, and Zhao Yu seized the opportunity to sell the Magic Artifacts and Low-level Talismans he had obtained over the years from slaying his enemies, and used Xiaodan Pavilion to buy various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Xiahou Zhenyu and five other Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Dan Ling Sect began recruiting Qi Cultivation cultivators and used Xiaoyuan Mountain Market as a base to gradually eradicate the Demon Beasts in Canglong Mountain Range, expanding the human race's influence bit by bit.

A large number of Demon Beasts died at the hands of the five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and a surge of Demon Beast Materials flooded into Xiaoyuan Mountain Market, causing the price of these materials to plummet.

The main ingredient of the Triple Snake Pattern Pill is Second-Order Demon Beast, and Zhao Yu took the opportunity to buy the ingredients for the Triple Snake Pattern Pill with Spirit Stones. Huo Canghai also quite generously sold Zhao Yu the materials at ninety percent of their market price.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

In a Quiet Room, a powerful aura of Fourth Level Foundation Establishment slowly radiated from Zhao Yu's body.

Zhao Yu's lips curved up into a slight smirk, "Finally, I've advanced to the Fourth Level of Foundation Establishment! I am now a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

"Cultivation Level: Fourteenth Level of Earth Elemental Skill (0/100). Foundation Establishment Fourth Level!"

"Golden Sha Beast God Body: Fifth Level (120/400)."

The resources in Xiaoyuan Mountain Market were several tens of times more abundant than in Jiuchen Mountain Market, and the cultivators here were also far wealthier. Zhao Yu was able to easily exchange elixirs for the cultivation resources he needed, which is why he could cultivate so rapidly.

Zhao Yu glanced at the White Ghost Emperor standing beside him, and a line of information emerged.

"White Ghost Emperor: Quality Low-grade (180/1000)."

"Cultivation Level: Second-Order Mid-grade (353/400)."

In Xiaoyuan Mountain Market and Canglong Mountain Range, there were also many Evil Spirits, which would leave behind many Fierce Ghost Relics after being eradicated.

These Fierce Ghost Relics could originally only be sold to the Yin Ghost Sect or cultivators who practiced the Ghost Path, but once Zhao Yu arrived, he began buying them up in great quantities and fed them to the White Ghost Emperor, improving its Cultivation Level.

After all, currently, the White Ghost Emperor was Zhao Yu's strongest Protection Method, as his own Mana and Spells were quite weak.

Zhao Yu left the Quiet Room and entered the dining hall, only to see Shangguan Lingxiu dressed in beautiful attire, looking radiant and charming, having prepared Spirit Food and waiting for his arrival.

Upon seeing Zhao Yu, Shangguan Lingxiu stood up to greet him with a gentle smile, "My lord, your meal is ready!"

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, took his seat at the table, and savored the delicious dishes prepared with Second-Order Demon Beast Meat.

Although Shangguan Lingxiu's talent for cultivation was not outstanding, she was intelligent and gentle. In less than a year, she had learned to cook very well, making Zhao Yu like her even more.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Yu began to help Shangguan Lingxiu with her cultivation doubts and answered her questions.

After their Q&A session, Zhao Yu, looking at Shangguan Lingxiu who was quietly contemplating and whose beauty was captivating on the side, couldn't help but pull her into his embrace.

Shangguan Lingxiu's cheeks turned red, and she collapsed softly into Zhao Yu's arms.

Zhao Yu's heart trembled slightly, and he activated his Profound Arts, finally releasing Shangguan Lingxiu with some effort.

Shangguan Lingxiu's cheeks were rosy, her eyes moist, she bit her silver teeth lightly, lowered her head, and said softly, "My lord husband, Lingxiu is also willing!"

Zhao Yu said, "Lingxiu, having a Primordial Yin Body can improve your chances of successful Foundation Establishment, so let's wait until you've established your foundation."

Shangguan Lingxiu originally had poor qualifications for cultivation, and she did not practice the Dan Ling Sect's sect-protecting Cultivation Technique "Mystic True Scripture of the Primordial Dao" but rather the very common Primordial Technique. Maintaining her Primordial Yin Body would increase her chances of successful Foundation Establishment.

"Mm!"

Shangguan Lingxiu was also clever, understanding Zhao Yu's affection for her. With a sweet smile, she snuggled into Zhao Yu's embrace.

Zhao Yu said, "You have been working too hard managing the affairs of the cave mansion. Would you like to buy a couple of servants to share your burdens?"

Shangguan Lingxiu smiled gracefully and said, "My lord husband, I am not suffering. It is my fortune to be able to serve my lord husband, and there is no need for the help of servants."

Shangguan Lingxiu had been worried her husband might be fond of women and would indulge in the temptresses of the Hundred Flowers Building day and night, not returning home. However, Zhao Yu had stayed in the cave mansion all along, diligently cultivating, never going to such places, which greatly relieved her.

In these two years, Shangguan Lingxiu had consumed many Superior Grade Elixirs, and her cultivation level had made great leaps, reaching the eighth level of Qi Cultivation. She also did not want beautiful maids to share Zhao Yu's affection for her.

"Junior Brother Zhao, it's me, Xiahou Zhenyu!"

A Communication Talisman flew into the cave mansion, carrying the hearty voice of Xiahou Zhenyu.

Zhao Yu manipulated the array, opened the gate of the cave mansion, and found Xiahou Zhenyu and Huo Canghai standing outside.

"Senior Brothers, please come in!"

Zhao Yu welcomed Xiahou Zhenyu and the other into the cave mansion.

After Shangguan Lingxiu served Spiritual Tea, she quietly sat next to Zhao Yu.

Upon seeing Shangguan Lingxiu, a flash of astonishment crossed Huo Canghai's eyes as he said, "Is this Junior Sister Shangguan Lingxiu? Truly as remarkable as rumored. With such a beauty, no wonder Junior Brother spends all his days in the cave mansion!"

Zhao Yu said, "Senior Brother jests! What brings you two here this time?"

A flicker of zeal passed through Xiahou Zhenyu's eyes as he said, "Junior Brother Zhao, we have discovered several Spirit Veins in the Canglong Mountain Range, one of which is even a Third-Order Low-grade. However, that Spirit Vein is inhabited by more than a dozen Second-Order Demon Beasts.

This time, I am here to invite you to join us in hunting these Demon Beasts and competing for the Spirit Vein."

The number one Foundation Establishment family of Cang Country, the Wang family, only owns a Second-Order high-grade Spirit Vein at Wolf Ridge. Naturally, that Third-Order low-grade Spirit Vein was incomparably precious, suitable even for Golden Core cultivators to practice in and increase their Mana.

Zhao Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Senior Brother Xiahou, I possess only the skill of Alchemy. My spells are not up to par, and I lack methods of Magical Combat. Hunting Demon Beasts is too dangerous. You should find someone more capable."

Huo Canghai laughed heartily and said, "Senior Brother Xiahou, didn't I tell you? Junior Brother Zhao is naturally cautious and will not participate in such endeavors."

Xiahou Zhenyu looked helpless, having come with good intentions, hoping to form a good relationship with Zhao Yu. Since Zhao Yu was unwilling to go, he naturally would not force him. Experience tales at empire

Huo Canghai said, "Junior Brother Zhao, since you wish not to go, how about managing the Market affairs of Xiao Yuan Mountain for a few days for me? I will be joining Senior Brother Xiahou and others to hunt Demon Beasts in the Canglong Mountain Range and search for Spirit Veins."

Under the exploration order, as long as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator finds any ranked Spirit Vein and offers it to the sect, they can attain a substantial sect contribution. If a Foundation Establishment Cultivator presents a Third-Order low-grade Spirit Vein, the sect contribution they receive can easily exchange for a Profound Mystic Art that leads directly to Golden Core.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Senior Brother Huo!"
