Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Where does this fellow Daoist Xuan Jing come from? A Foundation Establishment Xiao Qing, two young masters of the Yuwen family, and the last disciple of Master Yuehua are all here! Every time he strikes, it's either a Foundation Establishment Alchemy Furnace or a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Fire..."

"At first, I thought he was just a casual cultivator from a remote market town with no background. Now it seems that the rumors are untrue!"

"Either he has a deep background, or his subordinates possess amazing skills. I'm afraid that all of you fellow Taoists have underestimated this Taoist Xuanjing..."

Several foundation-building cultivators on the side communicated with each other without saying anything. Jing Yu was also a little surprised when he saw the spiritual fire in front of him.

Except for the fire-type foundation-building cultivators, alchemists with other spiritual roots often need to use a spiritual fire if they want to refine foundation-building pills. In terms of value alone, even if this spiritual fire is only the lowest-quality foundation-building spiritual fire, its value is higher than the sum of the foundation-building furnace and the alchemy inheritance!

"This [Crimson Spiritual Fire] was obtained by Xiao Yan in a secret realm years ago. I nurtured it for some time, but it wasn't very compatible with my own fire-based cultivation techniques. Later, when I found a more suitable spiritual fire, I placed it in my own treasury and left it unused. It's still in decent condition, though."

Yuwen Xiaoyan chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanjing, please don't despise me."

"That's not true. It's just that this gift is so valuable that I'm a little hesitant to accept it." Jing Yu frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuwen is so generous."

Yuwen Xiaojin on the side was also a little surprised. The reason why he recruited Jing Yu was not simply because this person had built an immortal foundation. After all, there were always a few cultivators who built a foundation every month in the Immortal City. For every cultivator's foundation celebration, he, Yuwen Xiaojin, was eager to send a gift with a market value of about two hundred spirit stones?

Not to mention that he is only a candidate for the head of the family now, even the real head of the Yuwen family does not have the financial resources.

He recruited Jing Yu because this person was born in Wushan Market, and the two were half fellow villagers, so there was a natural basis for an alliance.

Secondly, this person had a good reputation and was well-known in the circle of cultivators in the market town. He was also an alchemist, which made him want to recruit him.

But Yuwen Xiaoyan and Taoist Xuanjing had never met before, so why would he give such a valuable gift?

Was it just to suppress Yuwen Xiaojin? His younger brother wasn't that boring.

Wan Lingjun was even more furious, believing that Yuwen Xiaoyan had deliberately sent a more expensive gift in order to outdo her brother Yuwen.

"Yuwen Xiaoyan, you..."

"The Yuwen family's guest, Lord Han Pinghan has arrived!"

Before Wan Lingjun could start an argument with Yuwen Xiaoyan, a dark-skinned, plain-looking young man walked in and bowed to Jing Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, congratulations."

Han Ping did not change his appearance this time, but showed his true face, which was about 50% similar to the soul form he had in the Hall of Eternal Life.

It stands to reason that when a soul is reincarnated into the mortal world, its appearance will naturally be different from that of the previous life. However, when a cultivator is building his foundation, he will have a chance to purify his Dharma body, which allows him to adjust his appearance to a limited extent. It can be regarded as an opportunity to reshape his face. Therefore, as long as the cultivator who is building his foundation is not born extremely ugly, he will hardly have an ugly appearance. This is the reason.

I'm afraid that when Han Ping was building his foundation, he also made some minor adjustments to his appearance to make it closer to his previous life.

As for Jing Yu, perhaps because he had good bloodline of the Zhao royal family, he looked much more handsome in this life than in his previous life. He did not make any changes when he was building his foundation, for fear that his poor aesthetic taste would be superfluous and ruin his originally heroic face.

"Guest Han?" Yuwen Xiaojin asked in surprise. Han Ping was a guest of the Yuwen family, and a great cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. How could he not recognize him? He just hadn't expected that this mysterious guest Han would also recognize Taoist Xuanjing?

However, Yu Wen Xiaoyan was not surprised that Han Ping participated in this foundation-building celebration. He just smiled faintly.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Han!" Jing Yu said with a smile, "I sent the invitation before, but I was worried that Fellow Daoist Han wouldn't come."

Han Ping's lips curled up slightly, "As fellow alchemists, how could I miss you when you are building your foundation?"

After saying that, he handed a jade box to Jing Yu.

Jing Yu took the jade box, opened it and saw that it was actually a puppet part.

"Is this... a modified energy core?"

Jing Yu immediately understood that this was the puppet part recorded in the puppet inheritance that he had exchanged with Han Ping that year!

Han Ping was revealing the identity of "Li Feiyu" to himself!

So he had to pretend to be suddenly enlightened and shocked, and blurted out:

"So Fellow Daoist Han is..."

Han Ping nodded and said with a smile, "After so many years of separation, I never thought we would meet again in Xiaoyao Immortal City... Fellow Daoist has also established his foundation!"

Yuwen Xiaojin's heart sank. Although this Han guest had been a guest of the Yuwen family for only more than ten years, he was highly skilled in alchemy and had considerable strength. His combat power in the late foundation-building stage was already the highest under the Golden Core True Person. He was highly regarded by the Yuwen family among the guests from other surnames.

The most important thing is that Han Keqing and Yuwen Xiaoyan are very close!

Now Han Ping and Taoist Xuan Jing act like old friends, which disrupts his original plan.

With a light sigh, Yuwen Xiaojin no longer desired to be recruited. He put on a gentle smile again and chatted and laughed with Jing Yu and others.

After three rounds of drinking, the cultivators gradually became familiar with each other and relaxed a little. Although Wan Lingjun was a woman, she was unexpectedly a heavy drinker. Her face flushed and her expression excited. She even linked arms with Jing Yu, the host today.

"Master Xuan Jing, come, have another drink!"

"Uh, this, Fairy Lingjun, Xuan Jing really can't handle alcohol." Jing Yu rolled his eyes in his heart. He had worked hard to get his treasure body to the treasure body realm, so spiritual wine was naturally no problem for him. But he just didn't like drinking, so he naturally wouldn't drink too much. He didn't expect that the closed disciple of True Man Yuehua was actually a drunkard.

Yuwen Xiaojin looked helpless, and quickly pulled Wan Lingjun away, repeatedly apologizing.

"Master Xuan Jing, you, Xiao Qing, who is in the Foundation Establishment stage, are able to invite two young masters of the Yuwen family, and also have me, a great immortal, as your personal disciple. This is extremely prestigious. But why are they all from the Immortal Alliance? There is not a single disciple from the sect?"

Wan Lingjun stuck out his tongue and spoke with drunken eyes.

Jing Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I sent invitations to the true disciples of the four major sects, Huanhuo Sect, Bishui Sect, Xiaolei Temple, and Houtu Sect, who were traveling to study in the Immortal City. But after all, I am a casual cultivator with no background. How could they, the true disciples of the great sects and the golden elixir seeds, pay attention to a small character like me?"

"A bunch of arrogant people..." Wan Lingjun said disdainfully.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, why do you have to belittle yourself? The sect... hey! It's just an old thing that will be swept into the garbage dump of history."

Yuwen Xiaoyan shook the wine bottle in his hand and smiled faintly, "Hundreds of years ago, the Yunchuan region was still dominated by the sects. At that time, this group of so-called 'mountain dwellers' controlled the main ingredients for refining foundation-building pills throughout the Yunchuan region. For cultivators below the mountain sects, obtaining a foundation-building pill was as difficult as ascending to heaven!"
