When I returned to the room through the secret door, I found that Xiaohong was not there. When I walked out, I saw smoke rising from the kitchen chimney.

After building the foundation, He Ling no longer needed to eat mortal food. She could fill her stomach by absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. She could be said to be eating wind and drinking dew. No wonder it is said that only after building the foundation can one truly step into the threshold of cultivating immortals. Now it seems that this statement is indeed true.

But not needing to eat doesn't mean you can't eat. He Ling has come a long way from being a mortal, so he's gotten used to three meals a day.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a "weeping" sound.

Then another female voice sounded, "Hey, Master Xiaohong, I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious."

He Ling looked into the kitchen. Although she had never seen it with her own eyes, she could still see the situation clearly at a glance.

It was probably because Xiaohong was preparing spiritual food, but Tulu insisted on running over to help. However, after helping for a long time, he ended up making things worse.

At this moment, Tulu was covered in dust and dirt, and Xiaohong turned into a little girl, with an anxious look on her face, and kept crying "嘤嘤" to Tulu.

Seeing that they were talking on the spur of the moment, He Ling had no choice but to pretend to cough twice, and then they reacted.

As soon as Xiaohong saw He Ling, she became delighted. She jumped off the stool and turned into a red fox in the air. She ran towards He Ling quickly. When she got in front of He Ling, she raised her tail high and rubbed her body towards He Ling. She turned four or five times in a row. Then He Ling picked up Xiaohong.

Tu Lu also looked happy, "Sister He Ling, you finally came out!"

Then she couldn't wait to show it to He Ling, "Sister He Ling, look, look, I didn't slack off during the days you were away. Now I have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining!"

He Ling glanced at Tu Lu and raised her eyebrows. She was actually at the ninth level of Qi training. You know, although Tu Lu had good talent, she was too playful. In the past few years, she relied on elixirs to slowly cultivate to the eighth level of Qi training. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, she broke through to the ninth level of Qi training.

Holding Xiaohong in one hand, he walked forward and touched Tulu's head, "Yes, little Tulu has really worked hard."

Tu Lu smiled immediately after receiving the praise. However, right after she finished the praise, Xiao Hong in her arms became unhappy again. She rubbed He Ling with her claws, with an expression of "what about me, what about me?" on her face. He Ling had no choice but to praise Xiao Hong a few more times.

After Tu Lu was happy, she looked at He Ling and was stunned. After a while, she swallowed and said, "Sister He Ling, have you established... established your foundation?"

He Ling smiled and nodded, "I was lucky enough to get a foundation-building pill before. I was lucky. I didn't expect that I could successfully build my foundation with just one foundation-building pill."

Tu Lu was also excited when he heard this and immediately shouted, "Congratulations, Sister He Ling, congratulations, Sister He Ling, you have successfully established your foundation, we must hold a grand banquet."

He Ling knew that with Tu Lu's personality, she wanted to make a big fuss and let everyone know about it, but this time He Ling did the opposite of what she expected.

She shook her head. "It's enough for us to keep this matter to ourselves. I'll have Xiaohong prepare a few more spiritual dishes tonight, and the matter will be over."

Tu Lu looked reluctant and wanted to persuade her, but He Ling simply waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to mention the matter anymore. She chatted with them for a few more words before He Ling walked out the door.

Only then did He Ling know that after that conversation, Chu Changqing bought a house in Tianning Market for his nephew, which was right next to He Ling's house. Perhaps Chu Xin was too bored, so he actually put a small table in front of the door, put some wine and food on it, and just stared at the door of He Ling's house while eating and drinking. When He Ling heard the news, he even wondered what was going on in Chu Xin's head.

It was obvious that Chu Changqing asked Chu Xin to keep an eye on the gate of He Ling's house, but he didn't expect that Chu Xin was so diligent and actually stared at the gate.

However, today, when He Ling walked out with a swagger, he saw that there was no one in front of the gate of the house opposite.

He Ling just took a glance and continued to walk forward. She had now successfully established her foundation. Even if Chu Changqing was in front of her, she no longer had any fear. She even looked down on a mere Chu Xin.

I walked towards my shop and just as I reached the door, I heard a commotion coming from inside.

"Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"

"I'm your future husband! When the time comes, I'll gather the betrothal gifts and your boss and this shop will all be mine. So what if I take some spirit stones to spend?"

"You!" Then a long breath was heard, and the voice finally calmed down and said, "You said it yourself, you still haven't collected the betrothal gift, and you keep coming here to get the spirit stones. Do you really think this shop is yours?"

"So what if I just treat it as mine? Besides, it's mine to begin with! Hurry up, stop talking nonsense and bring me that spirit stone."

“I don’t have it!”

When He Ling walked into the store, she saw two people, one was Na Chuxin and the other was Tuba.

Tuba's face was flushed red and his chest was heaving.

Chu Xin, who was sitting opposite him, also had a red face, but he reeked of alcohol and was holding a wine jug in his hand. It was obvious that the redness was caused by the alcohol.

Hearing this, he threw the wine jug in his hand with a "pa" sound, "I know your shop is prosperous, how could you possibly only have so few spirit stones? If you give me these spirit stones now, I won't bother with you. Otherwise! Humph!"

"Oh, what about you?"

Hearing the female voice, Tuba's face lit up with joy, and then he looked towards the door, and sure enough, he saw a figure in a white robe. But then his face became anxious, and he wanted to say something to He Ling.

He Ling gently waved at Tuba. Although Tuba looked anxious, he still endured it. He believed in Sister He Ling from the bottom of his heart.

Then He Ling looked at Chu Xin and said, "I'm asking you, if not, what will you do?"

When Chu Xin saw that it was He Ling, his drunkenness dissipated a little in an instant. He was shocked at first, and then he was ecstatic.

He pointed at He Ling and said, "You, you actually dared to break the agreement with your uncle and walk out of the house without permission!"

He laughed loudly after saying this, and then looked at He Ling with a smile, "Do you know that what happened today has been known by my uncle? What should you do?"

He Ling also had a hint of a smile on her face. She shook her head and said honestly, "I don't know, but I guess it won't end well."

Chu Xin snorted coldly, "Hmph, you guessed right. Although you have a foundation-building demon snake, it's just a beast after all. My uncle is a foundation-building cultivator from the Xuanyuan Sect. If my uncle knew about this, he would definitely gather a few foundation-building brothers and sisters to skin and bone your demon snake. Then we'll see what you can rely on."

Hearing that he was going to skin Qing'er alive and tear her bones apart, He Ling's smile widened, as if she was shocked. "Ah, the consequences are so serious, but I guess you won't tell your uncle, right?"
