Chapter 119 Foundation Establishment Celebration (Please Subscribe!)
Second-tier spiritual herbs are quite valuable, so gifting them to the newly established Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect is perfectly appropriate.

"Keep these two spiritual herbs safe. The Foundation Establishment Ceremony of the Dan Ding Sect is about to begin. You should hurry to the Dan Ding Sect now!"

Lu Wenxing smiled and looked at Lu Cheng'an, then continued, "Now that Chengping has returned to the family, there are more than enough people at the Foundation Establishment stage, so you no longer need to worry about the family's affairs."

After the Foundation Establishment Ceremony of the Dan Ding Sect ends, you can focus on cultivating on Green Crocodile Island.

Lu Chengping also had good talent for cultivation, but Lu Wenxing, as the clan leader, had different feelings for Lu Chengan and Lu Chengping.

After leading the Lu family to migrate to Chiyan Mountain, Lu Cheng'an was able to help the family gradually recover its strength, and he deserves a great deal of credit for this.

Therefore, he paid more attention to Lu Cheng'an's cultivation, hoping that Lu Cheng'an could spend more time on cultivation and improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.

“Then I will head to the Dan Ding Sect first. If anything happens in the clan, the clan leader should immediately send me a message, and I will return to the clan as soon as possible,” Lu Cheng’an said.

He did not hesitate on this matter, as the Foundation Establishment Ceremony of the Dan Ding Sect was to be held soon anyway.

Even if the clan chief doesn't come to see him today, he will still discuss this matter with the clan chief in a few days.

Lu Cheng'an did not linger at Tianhong Mountain. After making arrangements with Lu Wenxing, he left Tianhong Mountain and headed straight for Dan Ding Sect.

Without Lu Wenxing to guide him, Lu Chengan's journey was even slower.

Tianhong Mountain and Danding Sect are even further apart. When Lu Cheng'an arrived at Danding Sect from Tianhong Mountain, there were less than two days left before the Foundation Establishment Ceremony of Danding Sect.

"I didn't cultivate the second-tier sword control technique before because I was going to attack the Tianhong Zhao Clan. Now that the Tianhong Zhao Clan has been wiped out, I must put the cultivation of the Cloud Shadow Sword Technique on my agenda once I return from the Dan Ding Sect!"

Lu Cheng'an looked at the Dan Ding Sect not far ahead and sighed softly.

He did not slow down and soon appeared at the foot of the Dan Ding Sect's mountain gate.

At this moment, a tall and strong young man dressed in a black robe appeared in Lu Cheng'an's line of sight. This young man was Xu Shao.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, your speed is too slow. I'm worried you won't make it in time for the sect's Foundation Establishment celebration!"

Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an, Xu Shao burst into laughter: "Come in with me quickly, let's have a good chat!"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I am truly sorry. When I received your message, I was still at Tianhong Mountain, thousands of miles away. After returning, I didn't even go back to the Lu family, and came straight to Dan Ding Sect!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled and explained, then followed Xu Shao into the Dan Ding Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, have you moved to a different spiritual peak to live on?" Lu Cheng'an asked with a hint of surprise.

“Indeed, it’s a different spiritual peak. The previous Green Bamboo Peak only had a first-order spiritual vein. Now that my cultivation has broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, Green Bamboo Peak is no longer suitable for me to live on,” Xu Shao explained.

The Dan Ding Sect is wealthy, and it has enough second-tier spiritual veins to cultivate within its mountain gates. Whenever a new Foundation Establishment cultivator appears in the sect, they can immediately be assigned a spiritual peak with a second-tier spiritual vein to live on.

As they spoke, Lu Wenxing led Lu Cheng'an into his cave. After serving Lu Cheng'an a pot of spiritual tea, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, when did you break through to the Foundation Establishment realm? Was the Foundation Establishment spiritual item you consumed when you broke through given to you by Shi Ningyu?"

Xu Shao looked at Lu Cheng'an with a very gossipy gaze.

After the news of Lu Cheng'an's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm reached the Dan Ding Sect, the cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect speculated that the Foundation Establishment spiritual object used by Lu Cheng'an to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm was most likely from their Dan Ding Sect.

Xu Shao also agreed with this view, and he felt that Lu Cheng'an's Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object was very likely given by Shi Ningyu.

"Fellow Daoist Xu guessed correctly. The Foundation Establishment Pill I took to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm was indeed given to me by Fellow Daoist Shi."

Lu Cheng'an didn't hide anything. After answering Xu Shao's question, he asked in a deep voice, "It seems that the Dan Ding Sect is only holding a Foundation Establishment celebration for you and Fellow Daoist Liu this time? Where is Fellow Daoist Shi now? Has her cultivation not yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm?"

This has always been the question Lu Chengan wanted to ask.

Among the Qi Refining cultivators from the Dan Ding Sect who entered the Azure Spirit Secret Realm before, Shi Ningyu had the strongest talent and strength, and her chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm should also be the greatest.

But ever since Lu Cheng'an left Dan Ding Sect, he has never heard any news about Shi Ningyu.

Even the celebration held by the Dan Ding Sect for its newly added Foundation Establishment cultivators didn't include Shi Ningyu's name, which is really quite strange.

"You don't need to worry about that. Shi Ningyu broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm much earlier than you. She is currently traveling abroad, and even the sect leader doesn't know when she will return to the sect!"

Xu Shao smiled and looked at Lu Cheng'an, saying, "Shi Ningyu has always been very lucky. You'd better work hard in your cultivation from now on. If you fall too far behind her, you might not have a chance!"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please stop joking about this. Fellow Daoist Shi and I are impossible," Lu Cheng'an said with a laugh.

Shi Ningyu may indeed have some affection for him, but it's definitely not to the point where she can't live without him.

Shi Ningyu was exceptionally beautiful, and her background and cultivation talent were better than his. He also had feelings for Shi Ningyu.

However, he wasn't too demanding about this matter. His primary goal right now was to cultivate diligently and improve his strength as much as possible. In the cultivation world, the Foundation Establishment realm was the true starting point, and he had only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, so he couldn't afford to be complacent!
"Since you don't want me to bring this up again, then I won't say anything more!"

Xu Shao laughed and said, "We haven't been at the Foundation Establishment stage for long. Let's exchange our insights after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. This will benefit both of us in our future cultivation."

Xu Shao had already spoken with Liu Muyuan, even though neither of them had a very good impression of the other.

However, they are both cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect, and currently they are the only two cultivators in the sect who have just entered the Foundation Establishment realm, so only they can communicate with each other better.

"I can't ask for it!"

Lu Cheng'an immediately agreed, believing that he would gain more benefits from communicating with Xu Shao than Xu Shao would.

Because of his different background, Xu Shao's knowledge was definitely superior to his, and he would certainly gain more benefits from communicating with a cultivator like Xu Shao.

The exchange of cultivation insights among cultivators was not something that could be concluded in a short time. Moreover, Xu Shao and Lu Cheng'an were already on good terms, and the two talked for nearly two days until the celebration held by the Dan Ding Sect for Xu Shao and Liu Muyuan began, at which point they stopped talking.

Lu Cheng'an was a guest of the Dan Ding Sect, while Xu Shao was the protagonist of the Dan Ding Sect's celebration.

Therefore, after the two of them descended from Lingfeng where Xu Shao was, they went to different places, and eventually met again at Lingyun Peak, where the Dan Ding Sect was holding a celebration.

Lingyun Peak is a sacred peak where the Dan Ding Sect holds various celebrations, and there are also second-order spiritual veins on this peak.

Lingyun Peak is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The entire peak is covered with rare flowers and herbs, celestial birds and precious trees, making it an extremely beautiful place.

The celebration was held on a platform atop Lingyun Peak, a very spacious area.

Lu Cheng'an ascended Lingyun Peak under the guidance of a Qi Refining cultivator from the Dan Ding Sect, and was then assigned to a relatively forward position.

"I underestimated the strength of the Dan Ding Sect. I didn't expect even the Tian Yan Sect to send cultivators here!"

As Lu Cheng'an listened to the chanting of the Dan Ding Sect cultivators, his gaze fell on an old man dressed in a gray robe.

The gray-robed old man had an extremely ordinary appearance. He sat to the right of Shi Mingxin, the sect master of the Dan Ding Sect. He was a cultivator sent by the Tianyan Sect to participate in the Dan Ding Sect's Foundation Establishment Ceremony, and his cultivation was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Besides the Heavenly Flame Sect, a Golden Core sect, there are many other powerful Foundation Establishment forces, such as the Azure Sun Sect and Flower Moon Valley.

The Foundation Establishment forces like Qingyang Sect and Huayue Valley are much stronger than Dan Ding Sect, with more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators in each sect.

In addition, there are two Foundation Establishment forces that Lu Cheng'an is quite familiar with: the Yuan Dan Sect and the Secret Pill Zhang Clan.

Although the Dan Ding Sect and the Secret Pill Zhang Clan have never gotten along and often fight each other.

However, because they and the three other factions of the Yuan Dan Sect are all alchemy sects, they are still in a cooperative relationship.

In certain circumstances, the three factions will still unite to face external threats.

There are quite a few Foundation Establishment forces like Lu Cheng'an, making them seem quite ordinary among the forces that came to participate in the Foundation Establishment celebration of the Dan Ding Sect.

After presenting the congratulatory gift on behalf of the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an quietly returned to his seat without saying much.

There were too many forces more powerful than the Lu family present at the celebration, so it was best for him to keep a low profile to avoid causing any trouble for the Lu family.

During the celebration, quite a few cultivation forces with similar strength to the Lu family wanted to befriend Lu Cheng'an, but when they heard the location of the Lu family, their interest in Lu Cheng'an immediately diminished.

The reason for this is that the Crimson Smoke Mountain, where the Lu family is located, is too close to the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

Now, the volcano in the Burning Flame Mountains is about to erupt, and the Lu family is so close to the Burning Flame Mountains that they are very likely to be wiped out in this volcanic eruption.

So what is there in the Lu family that would make them want to befriend them?

After guessing what those Foundation Establishment cultivators were thinking, Lu Cheng'an didn't press the matter further and quietly waited for the celebration to end.

The Foundation Establishment Ceremony of the Dan Ding Sect did not last long, only three hours.

Three hours later, the cultivators who came to participate in the celebration left the Dan Ding Sect one by one.

However, this does not include powerful sects such as Tianyan Sect, Qingyang Sect, and Huayue Valley.

Lu Cheng'an also did not leave Dan Ding Sect directly. Instead, he followed Xu Shao to the spiritual peak where Xu Shao was located.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, my master just told me some news, and he asked me to pass it on to you so that your Lu family can make preparations as soon as possible!"

Xu Shao looked at Lu Cheng'an with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "There are two demonic beasts deep in the Burning Flame Mountains that are about to break through to the third rank!"
