“ shī zūn ， nín zhēn de zài bàn gè shí chén nèi jiù néng lìng wǒ zhù jī ？” shàng guān yàn yī jiù bàn xìn bàn yí 。
“师尊，您真的在半个时辰内就能令我筑基？”上官雁依旧半信半疑。
"Master, you really can help me establish my foundation in half an hour?" Shangguan Yan still seemed half-skeptical.
“ wèi shī shuō guò ， wǒ bù dǎ kuáng yǔ 。”
“为师说过，我不打诳语。”
"Master has said so. Master does not tell lies."
“ kě …… tú ér shǒu zhōng méi yǒu yòng yú zhù jī de líng wù 。” cǐ nǚ niè rú zhe kāi kǒu le 。
“可……徒儿手中没有用于筑基的灵物。”此女嗫嚅着开口了。
"But... the disciple's hands do not have any spirit materials for establishing the foundation," this woman muttered as she spoke.
“ zhè suàn shén me wèn tí ？”
“这算什么问题？”
"What kind of problem is that?"
lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì xiào yì ， duì dī jiē xiū shì lái shuō ” zhù jī de dān yào nǎi kě yù bù kě qiú zhī wù ， bù shǎo sàn xiū zǎo jiù xiū dào le líng dòng qī dà yuán mǎn de jìng dì ， kě què yīn wèi yī dān nán qiú ， bù dé bù yǔ zhù jī qī cā shēn ér guò ， dài zhe mǎn qiāng de yí hàn hún guī dì fǔ 。
林轩的脸上满是笑意，对低阶修士来说”筑基的丹药乃可遇不可求之物，不少散修早就修到了灵动期大圆满的境地，可却因为一丹难求，不得不与筑基期擦身而过，带着满腔的遗憾魂归地府。
Lin Xuan's face was full of amusement. For low-ranking cultivators, "the pills to establish the foundation are rare treasures, a thing one can only encounter but cannot seek out. Many scattered cultivators have reached the peak of the Flexible Spirit Period, yet because it's so difficult to obtain such a pill, they had to pass by the Foundation Establishment stage with full regret in their hearts."
dàn zài lín xuān zhè yàng de gāo jiē xiū shì yǎn lǐ ， zhè zhǒng dōng xī suī rán bù néng shuō shì lā jī ， dàn yě méi yǒu fēn háo chū qí 。
但在林轩这样的高阶修士眼里，这种东西虽然不能说是垃圾，但也没有分毫出奇。
But from Lin Xuan's high-ranking perspective, these things were not trash, nor did they hold any particular value.
fǎn zhèng shì bù zhí qián dì 。
反正是不值钱地。
They were simply worthless.
lín xuān shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng shǎn guò ， yī yù píng yǐ chū xiàn zài zhǎng xīn zhōng le ， suí hòu lín xuān bá kāi píng sāi ， fāng xiāng mǎn yì ， qìn rén xīn pí de yào xiāng chuán rù le bí zi lǐ 。
林轩手腕翻转，只见灵光闪过，一玉瓶已出现在掌心中了，随后林轩拔开瓶塞，芳香满溢，沁人心脾的药香传入了鼻子里。
Lin Xuan flipped his wrist. A flash of light appeared, and an jade bottle was now in his palm. He then pulled out the stopper, and a fragrant aroma filled the air as sweet medicinal fragrance wafted into their noses.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
"What is this..."
jiě mèi liǎ dōu xiù le xiù xiǎo yáo bí ” liǎn shàng mǎn shì mí huò zhī yì ， xǐ lóu dān tā men yě shì fú guò bù shǎo dì ， kě zhè wèi dào ……
姐妹俩都嗅了嗅小瑶鼻”脸上满是迷惑之意，洗髅丹她们也是服过不少地，可这味道……
The two sisters sniffed at Xiaoyao's nose, looking puzzled. They had taken many Essence Cleansing Pills before, but what kind of smell was this?
lín xuān jiāng píng zi dào zhuǎn ， zhǎng xīn zhōng duō chū yī xuě bái sè de dān wán 。
林轩将瓶子倒转，掌心中多出一雪白色的丹丸。
Lin Xuan turned the bottle over in his hand, and a snow-white pill appeared in his palm.
liǎng nǚ rì dèng kǒu dāi ， tā men suī rán jǐn jǐn shì líng dòng qī ” dàn líng jiè xiū shì de jiàn shí bì jìng shì bù tóng dì ” yuǎn fēi xià jiè de tóng jiē xiū shì kě bǐ 。
两女日瞪口呆，她们虽然仅仅是灵动期”但灵界修士的见识毕竟是不同地”远非下界的同阶修士可比。
The two women were speechless. Although they were only at the Flexible Spirit Stage, spirit realm cultivators' knowledge was different from those on the lower realms; it far exceeded that of their peers.
“ zhè shì jí pǐn dān ？”
“这是极品丹？”
"Is this a top-grade pill?"
“ ó ， nǐ liǎ jiàn guò ？” lín xuān yǒu diǎn yà yì de kāi kǒu le 。
“哦，你俩见过？”林轩有点讶异的开口了。
"Oh, you've seen them?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.
“ ń ， tú ér zài diǎn jí shàng jiàn guò 。” shàng guān yàn diǎn le diǎn tóu ， suī rán xǐ suǐ dān shì xiū xiān jiè zuì dī jiē de yào wù zhī yī ， dàn xiǎng yào liàn zhì chéng jí pǐn yě shì hěn kùn nán dì 。
“嗯，徒儿在典籍上见过。”上官雁点了点头，虽然洗髓丹是修仙界最低阶的药物之一，但想要炼制成极品也是很困难地。
"Yes, disciple has seen them in ancient texts," Shangguan Yan nodded. Although Essence Cleansing Pills were among the lowest-grade medicines in cultivation circles, making such high-grade pills was still very difficult.
nà liàn dān shù yào fēi cháng de gāo jí ， kě yǒu rú cǐ shí lì de liàn dān shī ， yòu zěn me huì chī bǎo le chēng de wèi tā men dī jiē xiū shì liàn zhì shén wù ” chú fēi duì fāng de hòu tái dà dào lìng rén jīng xīn chù mù ” zǒng zhī zhè zhǒng dān yào dōng hǎi xiū xiān jiè yě jǐn jǐn chū xiàn guò shù cì de 。
那炼丹术要非常的高级，可有如此实力的炼丹师，又怎么会吃饱了撑的为她们低阶修士炼制神物”除非对方的后台大到令人惊心触目”总之这种丹药东海修仙界也仅仅出现过数次的。
The alchemy technique needed to be extremely advanced. But why would a cultivator with such power waste their time refining such precious items for low-ranking cultivators? Unless the other party's backing was so formidable that it left one speechless. Such top-grade pills had only appeared in Donghai cultivation circles a few times.
tā zài diǎn jí shàng kàn guò ， ǒu ěr yě néng tīng dào yī xiē chuán shuō ” jiě mèi liǎ dōu xiàn mù dào jí chù ， méi xiǎng dào zì jǐ yǒu jī huì jiàn dào zhè yàng de shén wù 。
她在典籍上看过，偶尔也能听到一些传说”姐妹俩都羡慕到极处，没想到自己有机会见到这样的神物。
She had seen them mentioned in ancient texts and occasionally heard about them, but she never thought she would have the chance to see such treasures.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng yě lù chū jǐ fēn huái niàn zhī sè ” bā bǎi nián qián ， zì jǐ yě jǐn jǐn shì yī líng dòng qī de xiǎo xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě zī zhì yǔ liǎng gè yā tou xiāng bǐ ， gēn běn jiù bù zhí yī tí ， shàng pǐn xǐ suǐ dān dōu méi yǒu bàn fǎ zhù jī ” bù dé bù dǎ jí pǐn de zhǔ yì 。
林轩眼中也露出几分怀念之色”八百年前，自己也仅仅是一灵动期的小修仙者，而且资质与两个丫头相比，根本就不值一提，上品洗髓丹都没有办法筑基”不得不打极品的主意。
Lin Xuan also showed some nostalgia. Eight hundred years ago, he was just a young cultivator at the Flexible Spirit Stage with mediocre资质 compared to these two girls. He couldn't even establish his foundation with an upper-grade Essence Cleansing Pill, so he had no choice but to rely on top-grade ones.
xī yuè jiàn zhī lǚ ， jiǔ sǐ yì shēng ， bù guò yě dé dào le xǔ duō hǎo chù ， zhè jí pǐn dān jiù shì nà shí hòu yí liú xià lái de 。
溪跃涧之旅，九死一生，不过也得到了许多好处，这极品丹就是那时候遗留下来的。
The Stream Leap Canyon journey was perilous and life-threatening, but it also brought many benefits. This top-grade pill was one of them left behind from that time.
rú jīn cāng hǎi sāng tián ” wǎng shì hái zhēn shì lìng rén huái niàn 。
如今沧海桑田”往事还真是令人怀念。
Now, after all these years, the past truly brought back memories.
lín xuān qū zhǐ wēi dàn ， nà xuě bái de dān yào jiù bèi líng guāng bāo guǒ ， shì huǎn shí jí de xiàng zhe shàng guān yàn fēi guò qù le 。
林轩屈指微弹，那雪白的丹药就被灵光包裹，似缓实急的像着上官雁飞过去了。
Lin Xuan flicked his fingers, enveloping the snow-white pill in a layer of spiritual light as he sent it flying towards Shangguan Yan at a steady pace.
shào nǚ lián máng jiē zhù ， zhè zhǒng dōng xī duì tā lái shuō ” jiǎn zhí shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú de shén wù ， yǎn zhōng mǎn shì mí zuì zhī sè ， zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ qīng chǔ ， yǒu jí pǐn dān zuò fǔ zhù ， zhù jī jiāng yì diǎn xuán niàn yě wú ， zhǐ shì zhēn de rú shī zūn suǒ shuō ， néng zài duǎn duǎn de bàn gè shí chén nèi jiù wán chéng ？
少女连忙接住，这种东西对她来说”简直是可遇而不可求的神物，眼中满是迷醉之色，自己的情况自己清楚，有极品丹做辅助，筑基将一点悬念也无，只是真的如师尊所说，能在短短的半个时辰内就完成？
The young girl hurried to catch it. Such items were like treasures that could only be obtained through chance for her; she was entranced by their beauty. She understood her situation well, and with the help of top-grade pills, establishing her foundation would no longer be uncertain. But would Master really be able to complete this in just half an hour?
píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè yì diǎn tā bìng méi yǒu tài dà de bǎ wò ， bù guò lǎo shī jì rán zhè yàng shuō ， tā dāng rán yě huì zhào zuò 。
平心来说，这一点她并没有太大的把握，不过老师既然这样说，她当然也会照做。
She had little confidence in it, but since Master said so, she naturally followed his instructions.
shàng guān yàn pán xī ér zuò ， shuāng shǒu píng fàng shuāng xī ， yǎn móu jǐn bì ， xiān kāi shǐ tiáo xī 。
上官雁盘膝而坐，双手平放双膝，眼眸紧闭，先开始调息。
Shangguan Yan sat cross-legged, placing both hands on her knees with her eyes closed, beginning the process of regulating her breath.
zhè ge guò chéng bìng bù jiān nán ” hěn kuài ， tā jiù ràng zì jǐ jìn rù le zuì jiā zhuàng tài 。
这个过程并不艰难”很快，她就让自己进入了最佳状态。
This was not a difficult task. Soon, she entered her best state.
suí hòu shàng guān yàn yīng chún wēi qǐ ” jiāng jí pǐn dān tūn le xià qù ， jǐn jiē zhe kāi shǐ liàn huà yào lì 。
随后上官雁樱唇微启”将极品丹吞了下去，紧接着开始炼化药力。
Then Shangguan Yan opened her lips and swallowed the top-grade pill, starting to refine its medicinal power.
jí pǐn dān fā zuò dé hěn kuài ， duǎn duǎn xiǎo bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， shào nǚ de qiào liǎn shàng jiù tòu chū yī céng fēi hóng zhī sè ， é tóu shàng mǎn shì xì mì de hàn zhū ” lián hū xī dōu biàn dé jí cù ， biǎo qíng pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn tòng kǔ 。
极品丹发作得很快，短短小半盏茶的功夫，少女的俏脸上就透出一层绯红之色，额头上满是细密的汗珠”连呼吸都变得急促，表情颇有几分痛苦。
The effects of the top-grade pill were swift. In just half an hour, a rosy hue appeared on the girl's face as fine beads of sweat formed on her forehead. Her breathing became rapid, and she looked pained.
“ shī fù ”
“师傅”
"Master..."
kàn jiàn jiě jiě zhè fù biǎo qíng ， shàng guān líng yòu shì zháo jí yòu shì guān xīn ” lín xuān què yī jiù yī fù dàn rán zhī sè ” duì pǔ tōng xiū xiān kàn lái shuō ， jí pǐn dān de yào lì tài guò bà dào le ， zì jǐ dāng nián tū pò zhù jī ， yě shì chī le bù shǎo kǔ tóu dì ， hé kuàng zài cǐ zhī qián ” zì jǐ hái fú yòng le bù shǎo shàng pǐn dān ， kàng yào xìng xiāng duì lái shuō ， yào qiáng yì diǎn 。
看见姐姐这副表情，上官翎又是着急又是关心”林轩却依旧一副淡然之色”对普通修仙看来说，极品丹的药力太过霸道了，自己当年突破筑基，也是吃了不少苦头地，何况在此之前”自己还服用了不少上品丹，抗药性相对来说，要强一点。
Seeing her sister's expression, Shangguan Ling was both worried and concerned. However, Lin Xuan remained calm. For ordinary cultivators, the power of top-grade pills was too overpowering; he had suffered much during his own breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. Moreover, before that, he had taken many upper-grade pills, so his resistance was stronger.
huàn jù huà shuō ， tú ér huì chī gèng duō de kǔ tóu ， bù guò méi yǒu guān xì ， yù bù zuó bù chéng qì ， zhè duī tā yǐ hòu de xiū xíng ， shì dà yǒu hǎo chù dì 。
换句话说，徒儿会吃更多的苦头，不过没有关系，玉不琢不成器，这堆她以后的修行，是大有好处地。
In other words, her suffering would be more intense. But it didn't matter. A jade unpolished is but a stone. This would greatly benefit her future cultivation.
“ yàn ér ， bù yòng huāng zhāng ， yì shǒu dān tián ， àn zhào jiǔ tiān xuán gōng zhōng suǒ shù de fāng fǎ ， yǐn dǎo yào lì 。”
“雁儿，不用慌张，意守丹田，按照九天玄功中所述的方法，引导药力。”
"Yan'er, don't panic. Focus on the dantian and guide the medicinal power according to the methods described in Nine Heavens Mystical Art."
lín xuān wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ” dāng rán ， tā yě bú huì bù guǎn ， yào xiǎng duǎn shí jiān nèi zhù jī ， zì jǐ kěn dìng dé zhù tú ér yī bì zhī lì 。
林轩微笑的声音传入耳朵”当然，他也不会不管，要想短时间内筑基，自己肯定得助徒儿一臂之力。
Lin Xuan's smiling voice echoed in their ears. Of course, he wouldn't sit idly by; if they wanted to establish their foundation within a short time, he would certainly assist her.
gù ér huà yīn wèi luò ， tā shuāng shǒu yě yǒu rú chuān huā hú dié yì bān fēi wǔ ， rán hòu yī dào dào fǎ jué chōng zhe tú ér dǎ chū 。
故而话音未落，他双手也有如穿huā蝴蝶一般飞舞，然后一道道法诀冲着徒儿打出。
Thus, as soon as his words finished, his hands moved like butterflies, and he cast various spells towards Shangguan Yan.
liǎng rén suǒ xué fǎ shù ， běn jiù shì yī mài xiāng chéng de ， lín xuān yǐ lí hé zhōng qī xiū shì de shí lì ， bāng zhù tā tū pò ， zì rán shì sī háo chè zhǒu yě wú ， shàng guān yàn zhǐ jué yī gǔ wēn hé qiáng dà de fǎ lì ， cóng dān tián chuán rù ， rán hòu yán zhe jīng mài ， xiàng zhe sì zhī bǎi hái liú tǎng ér qù le 。
两人所学法术，本就是一脉相承的，林轩以离合中期修士的实力，帮助她突破，自然是丝毫掣肘也无，上官雁只觉一股温和强大的法力，从丹田传入，然后沿着经脉，向着四肢百骸流淌而去了。
The techniques the two had learned were closely related. With Lin Xuan's strength at the Separation and Union中期 stage, helping her break through was effortless. Shangguan Yan felt a gentle yet powerful force enter her dantian, flowing along her meridians to reach every part of her body.
suǒ guò zhī chù ， shēn tǐ jiù xiàng pào zài wēn shuǐ lǐ yì bān ， suǒ yǒu de píng jǐng ， yě zài qǐ bú dào zǔ dǎng de xiào guǒ ， nà qiáng dà de fǎ lì yǔ yào xiào lián wèi yī tǐ ， xiàng zhe píng jǐng niǎn yā ér guò ， tā jìng rán zài bù zhī bù jué zhōng jiù jìn jiē dào zhù jī qī le 。
所过之处，身体就像泡在温水里一般，所有的瓶颈，也再起不到阻挡的效果，那强大的法力与药效连为一体，向着瓶颈碾压而过，她竟然在不知不觉中就进阶到筑基期了。
Wherever it passed, her body felt as if it were immersed in warm water; all bottlenecks no longer posed any hindrance. The powerful force and medicinal power combined, pressing through the bottleneck, and she advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage without realizing it.
gǎn jué xiàng shì zài zuò mèng ， zhí dào lín xuān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ yàn ér ， rú hé ？”
感觉像是在做梦，直到林轩的声音传入耳朵：“雁儿，如何？”
It seemed like a dream until Lin Xuan's voice reached her ears: "Yan'er, how are you feeling?"
shào nǚ zhēng kāi měi móu ， yǎn qián de yī qiè ， yǔ gāng gāng dōu dà bù xiāng tóng ， xiū xiān bā gè jìng jiè ， měi yī cì tí shēng ， dū huì dài lái zhì dì gǎi biàn 。
少女睁开美眸，眼前的一切，与刚刚都大不相同，修仙八个境界，每一次提升，都会带来质的改变。
The young girl opened her beautiful eyes, seeing everything had changed from just now. Each cultivation stage brought qualitative changes.
“ duō xiè shī zūn chéng quán 。”
“多谢师尊成全。”
"Thank Master for your help."
shàng guān yàn guì le xià lái ， gōng gōng jìng jìng de xiàng lín xuān kē xià xiǎng tóu ， xiū xiān xiū xiān ， chú le nǔ lì ， gèng zhòng yào de shì jī yuán ， wú shù dī jiē xiū shì ， nǔ lì yī bèi zi yě nán yǐ wán chéng de tū pò ， jìng rán zài shī fù de bāng zhù xià zhè me qīng qīng qiǎo qiǎo jiù wán chéng le 。
上官雁跪了下来，恭恭敬敬的像林轩磕下响头，修仙修仙，除了努力，更重要的是机缘，无数低阶修士，努力一辈子也难以完成的突破，竟然在师傅的帮助下这么轻轻巧巧就完成了。
Shangguan Yan knelt down and respectfully bowed to Lin Xuan, saying, "Master, I will work hard to repay your kindness." Cultivation was not only about effort but also about opportunities; countless low-ranking cultivators struggled their entire lives to achieve such breakthroughs, yet her sister had accomplished it so effortlessly with Master's help.
fǎ lì de tí shēng zàn qiě bù shuō ， guāng shì shòu yuán ， jiù bào zēng le bǎi nián zhī duō ， duì yú wèi zì jǐ dài lái mò dà xiān yuán de shī fù ， shàng guān yàn zěn me kě néng bù gǎn jī ne ？
法力的提升暂且不说，光是寿元，就暴增了百年之多，对于为自己带来莫大仙缘的师傅，上官雁怎么可能不感激呢？
The increase in life span alone was significant. How could she not be grateful for the master who brought her such great cultivation luck?
“ hǎo le ， yàn ér ” bù yòng tài guò duō lǐ ， nǐ yào jì zhù ， màn màn xiān tú ， zhù jī bù guò shì gāng gāng wán chéng le dì yī bù ， yǐ hòu huì yǒu gèng duō de jiān nán xiǎn zǔ ， wàn wàn xiè dài bù dé 。”
“好了，雁儿”不用太过多礼，你要记住，慢慢仙途，筑基不过是刚刚完成了第一步，以后会有更多的艰难险阻，万万懈怠不得。”
"Enough, Yan'er. You don't have to be too formal. Remember, the path of immortality is long and full of challenges. Establishing your foundation is just the first step; never slack off."
“ shì ， shī fù ， tú ér yí dìng nǔ lì xiū xíng ， jué bú huì gū fù nín qī wàng de 。” shào nǚ yòu kē le yí gè tóu ” zhè cái dī méi shùn mù dì zhàn qǐ lái le 。
“是，师傅，徒儿一定努力修行，绝不会辜负您期望的。”少女又磕了一个头”这才低眉顺目的站起来了。
"Yes, Master. I will strive to cultivate and not disappoint you," she bowed again before standing up.
fù qīn zǎo shì ， zài tā de xīn lǐ ， lín xuān jì shì yán shī ” yòu shì cí fù ， néng gòu dé tā shōu guī mén xià ” shì zì jǐ jǐ shì xiū lái de xiān fú 。
父亲早逝，在她的心里，林轩既是严师”又是慈父，能够得他收归门下”是自己几世修来的仙福。
Her father had passed away early in her life, making Lin Xuan both a strict teacher and a kind father in her eyes. Being accepted into his sect was her greatest fortune from past lives.
ér yī páng ， shàng guān líng què shì fēi cháng de xiàn mù ， jiě jiě dōu zhù jī le ， zì jǐ què yī jiù zài líng dòng qī pái huái zhe 。
而一旁，上官翎却是非常的羡慕，姐姐都筑基了，自己却依旧在灵动期徘徊着。
Beside her, Shangguan Ling was envious. Her sister had already established the foundation, but she herself was still lingering at the Flexible Spirit Stage.
lín xuān shì hé děng cōng míng de rén wù ， mù guāng sǎo guò ， yǐ jīng zhī dào zhè yā tou zài xiǎng shén me ” zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào róng ：“ líng ér ， xiàn zài lún dào nǐ le 。”
林轩是何等聪明的人物，目光扫过，已经知道这丫头在想什么”嘴角边流露出一丝笑容：“翎儿，现在轮到你了。”
Lin Xuan's keen gaze swept over, and he knew what this girl was thinking: "Ling'er, it's your turn now."
“ lún dào wǒ ， shī fù ， nǐ shì shuō ， wǒ xiàn zài yě kě yǐ zhù jī chéng gōng ？” shàng guān líng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎn shàng biǎo qíng yòu shì huān xǐ yòu shì jīng è 。
“轮到我，师傅，你是说，我现在也可以筑基成功？”上官翎的声音传入耳朵，脸上表情又是欢喜又是惊愕。
"Your turn, Master. You mean I can also establish my foundation right now?" Shangguan Ling's voice echoed as she looked both excited and surprised.
kàn jiàn jiě jiě shēng jí ， tā xiàn mù bù yǐ ， kě zì jǐ cái gāng gāng tà rù zhù jī hòu qī ， yuǎn méi dào dà yuán mǎn de jìng dì ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià yě néng zhù jī ？
看见姐姐升级，她羡慕不已，可自己才刚刚踏入筑基后期，远没到大圆满的境地，这种情况下也能筑基？
Seeing her sister upgrade, she envied her greatly. But she had only just entered the late Foundation Establishment stage; could she really establish it in such a situation?
xiǎo yā tou bàn xìn bàn yí ， zhè jiàn shì qíng tīng qǐ lái tài bù kě sī yì 。！~！
小丫头半信半疑，这件事情听起来太不可思议。！~！
The young girl was half-believing and half-doubting. This seemed too incredible to be true!
"Master, you really can help me establish my foundation in half an hour?" Shangguan Yan still seemed half-skeptical.
"Master has said so. Master does not tell lies."
"But... the disciple's hands do not have any spirit materials for establishing the foundation," this woman muttered as she spoke.
"What kind of problem is that?"
Lin Xuan's face was full of amusement. For low-ranking cultivators, "the pills to establish the foundation are rare treasures, a thing one can only encounter but cannot seek out. Many scattered cultivators have reached the peak of the Flexible Spirit Period, yet because it's so difficult to obtain such a pill, they had to pass by the Foundation Establishment stage with full regret in their hearts."
But from Lin Xuan's high-ranking perspective, these things were not trash, nor did they hold any particular value.

"What is this..."
The two sisters sniffed at Xiaoyao's nose, looking puzzled. They had taken many Essence Cleansing Pills before, but what kind of smell was this?
Lin Xuan turned the bottle over in his hand, and a snow-white pill appeared in his palm.
"This..."
The two women were speechless. Although they were only at the Flexible Spirit Stage, spirit realm cultivators' knowledge was different from those on the lower realms; it far exceeded that of their peers.
"Is this a top-grade pill?"

The techniques the two had learned were closely related. With Lin Xuan's strength at the Separation and Union中期 stage, helping her break through was effortless. Shangguan Yan felt a gentle yet powerful force enter her dantian, flowing along her meridians to reach every part of her body.
Wherever it passed, her body felt as if it were immersed in warm water; all bottlenecks no longer posed any hindrance. The powerful force and medicinal power combined, pressing through the bottleneck, and she advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage without realizing it.
It seemed like a dream until Lin Xuan's voice reached her ears: "Yan'er, how are you feeling?"
The young girl opened her beautiful eyes, seeing everything had changed from just now. Each cultivation stage brought qualitative changes.
"Thank Master for your help."
Shangguan Yan knelt down and respectfully bowed to Lin Xuan, saying, "Master, I will work hard to repay your kindness." Cultivation was not only about effort but also about opportunities; countless low-ranking cultivators struggled their entire lives to achieve such breakthroughs, yet her sister had accomplished it so effortlessly with Master's help.
The increase in life span alone was significant. How could she not be grateful for the master who brought her such great cultivation luck?
"Enough, Yan'er. You don't have to be too formal. Remember, the path of immortality is long and full of challenges. Establishing your foundation is just the first step; never slack off."
"Yes, Master. I will strive to cultivate and not disappoint you," she bowed again before standing up.
Her father had passed away early in her life, making Lin Xuan both a strict teacher and a kind father in her eyes. Being accepted into his sect was her greatest fortune from past lives.
Beside her, Shangguan Ling was envious. Her sister had already established the foundation, but she herself was still lingering at the Flexible Spirit Stage.
Lin Xuan's keen gaze swept over, and he knew what this girl was thinking: "Ling'er, it's your turn now."
"Your turn, Master. You mean I can also establish my foundation right now?" Shangguan Ling's voice echoed as she looked both excited and surprised.
Seeing her sister upgrade, she envied her greatly. But she had only just entered the late Foundation Establishment stage; could she really establish it in such a situation?
The young girl was half-believing and half-doubting. This seemed too incredible to be true!
