I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

Despite his excitement, Toyokawa patiently explored the entire dojo.

After it was all over, my overall feeling was one of satisfaction, very satisfaction, extremely satisfaction.

However, he didn't forget to greet his senior brothers and sisters.

He took out nine communication talismans, entered a message, and activated them.

The gist of it is: He has settled down at the No. 111 regional-level Daoist center and plans to go into seclusion for a period of time. Please do not worry about him.

Not long after, he received nine communication talismans from his fellow disciples.

Besides announcing the location of the training ground, the messages left by the spirit talismans were mostly about the upcoming retreat.

Well! Great minds think alike; we've all come to the same conclusion!

Indeed, it would be a waste not to take advantage of such a wonderful cultivation place for the first time to go into seclusion and experience it.

Therefore, he immediately went into seclusion at his own temple.

First, raise your cultivation to the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm; we can deal with other things later.

After all, his cultivation had already broken through to the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering stage, and he was just one step away from absorbing spiritual energy to fill his dantian.

Therefore, for the next period of time, the focus will still be on seclusion to improve cultivation.

Upon arriving at the cultivation room, one finds that the spiritual energy here has been accumulating for an unknown period of time, and a considerable amount of spiritual liquid has already gathered.

Therefore, cultivation at present does not require the assistance of spirit stones at all.

Sit cross-legged with your palms facing the sky and begin practicing the exercises.

A massive vortex of spiritual energy formed above his head. The boundless spiritual energy poured down like a tornado.

Along the meridians throughout the body, it flows like countless rivers, rushing and merging into the sea.

One hour, two hours, three hours, four hours.

After cultivating for a full four hours, he finally felt some swelling and pain in his meridians.

Toyokawa knew that he had reached his limit in his cultivation today and it was time to stop, so he stopped his practice.

Although spiritual practice is like rowing against the current, one must be mindful of moderation and know when to stop.

The Spirit Gathering cultivator has just undergone body tempering, opening up all the meridians in his body and returning to his innate state.

At this time, the meridians are still relatively fragile, and their tolerance to spiritual energy is limited.

Excessive cultivation can cause the meridians to exceed their tolerance limit and become damaged.

In severe cases, it can even lead to the rupture of meridians and the complete destruction of the foundation.

The meridians of Fengchuan have been specially modified by spiritual energy, making them extremely strong.

Even after practicing for four consecutive hours, one would still feel bloating and pain; the same goes for others.

After all, the time spent cultivating is still short, and the meridians are still slowly adapting.

The spiritual sense followed the meridians and probed into the dantian. After a moment of careful sensing, the dantian was filled to about one percent.

Not bad. At this rate, my cultivation will be complete in just over three months.

After leaving the meditation room, I arrived at the lake-viewing pavilion and sat down by the railing.

I was captivated by the scenery of the lake, and a gentle breeze carried the faint fragrance of lotus blossoms.

Suddenly, I felt inspired to write a poem.

The lotus flowers are still here this year, just like they were at this time years ago.

The fragrance of the breeze remains the same, only the arrival of an old friend is missing.

Though separated by the mortal and immortal realms, our longing for each other remains forever.

When the lotus blooms again, we will admire its five colors together.

For some reason, I miss my family in the mortal realm. Now that the day of Foundation Establishment is getting closer, the day of our reunion is just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Toyokawa immediately cheered up.

After feeding Xiao Cai, I went back to my room to rest.

The training continued the next day, and I entered the training room again.

He quickly entered a meditative state, and spiritual energy surged in from all directions, penetrating his entire body.

Day after day, three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Despite consuming an additional 100 million spirit stones during this period, the dantian of the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm is finally full today.

"Finally, it's perfect! All my days and nights of cultivation have been worth it!"

Moreover, the prefecture-level dojo is really amazing!

Every day it consumes a lot of energy, yet the concentration of spiritual energy in the dojo remains unchanged!

If it weren't for the need to complete the task as soon as possible, I really wouldn't be willing to spend that 100 million spirit stones!

Ah, there are gains and losses, that's always been the case, so there's nothing to fuss about.

"Next, I need to start thinking about Foundation Establishment!" Toyokawa thought to himself.

The Spirit Gathering stage is complete; there's no rush to Foundation Establishment. We'll take some time to consolidate our foundation.

For cultivators, the innate stage is a hurdle, and the foundation building stage is another hurdle.

Moreover, the hurdle of Foundation Establishment is even greater. Overcoming it is no easy feat.

In the world of cultivation, all cultivators are like a giant funnel.

The surface has the most, and the number decreases as you go deeper.

It stems from a series of hurdles that keep most people away.

Some people have enough cultivation but lack sufficient accumulation, so they lack confidence and dare not take the leap.

Some people lack sufficient cultivation and experience; they simply don't have the strength to overcome this obstacle.

There are also some people who are born with disadvantages and don't even dare to dream of such a thing!

Ke Fengchuan, whose cultivation and experience are now sufficient, does not want to skip over the threshold immediately.

It wasn't that he didn't want to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but rather that he had lofty ideals and ambitions.

Although he keeps a low profile, he is unwilling to be ordinary! What he wants is to achieve greatness in a low-key way!

Therefore, it's best to take some time to consolidate before making a breakthrough.

Prepare what needs to be prepared in advance; learn what needs to be learned in advance.

You're still young, you have plenty of time!

He can slowly devise the foundation-building plan and, incidentally, address any shortcomings.

In the days that followed, he honed his spiritual power while studying, leaving early and returning late every day.

He spends his days reading in the library and his nights practicing meditation.

After breaking through to the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm, he even went to see Bai Linglong.

I asked some questions about Foundation Establishment and subsequent cultivation.

As someone who's been through it all, Bai Linglong naturally offered some advice.

What Sect Master Bai said coincided with his own thoughts; both believed that they should not consider Foundation Establishment for the time being.

Take advantage of this time to hone your skills and learn more about the basics of cultivation.

Basic knowledge is not limited to one aspect, but rather encompasses all aspects.

First, thoroughly understand the basic theories of cultivation; then, consider the matter of foundation building.

As the saying goes, a tall building rises from the ground; how tall a building can be built depends entirely on how solid its foundation is.

These disciples who came from the mortal realm not only lacked a foundation, but their basic skills were also weak.

Although I studied the basics for half a year in the early stages and then practiced for another three years, the knowledge I had acquired was still too limited.

So he made a decision: to read through all the books in the library, from beginning to end.

Whether it's useful or not, just remember it first, since he has a photographic memory anyway.

Moreover, as his level of understanding increased, his comprehension became increasingly outstanding.

The books on the first floor can be memorized immediately after just one glance, and one can also understand and comprehend them thoroughly.

He was captivated by the process of transforming the knowledge from books into his own knowledge in real time.

He reads books every day, and his knowledge is becoming more and more abundant.

Moreover, during the reading process, he discovered many errors and omissions, all of which he annotated.

His actions naturally attracted the attention of the elders of the library.

She was secretly watching him almost every day.

Whenever he added notes to a book, the elder would secretly verify them himself.

Unsurprisingly, every single comment was correct, without a single error.

The elder was speechless. How could this child's comprehension be so extraordinary? He's practically superhuman!

How many years has he been in charge of the library? He's almost lost count!

He had read these books before, and more than once.

However, he still couldn't fully understand and master the text like Toyokawa did, nor could he discover any errors or omissions within it.

So he took note of the disciple nameplates of Fengchuan and then found the sect leader, Bai Linglong.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, I have discovered a rare genius. I have come to report this to you!" Elder Cheng said.

"Oh? I wonder which disciple has won Elder Cheng's favor? He even called him a genius!" Bai Linglong asked.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, that disciple's name is Feng Chuan, and he is currently a core disciple of Qingyun Peak," Elder Cheng replied.

"Hehe, he's a disciple of my Qingyun Peak? I wonder how he caught Elder Cheng's eye?" Bai Linglong asked.

When Elder Cheng mentioned Fengchuan's name, she was startled and almost lost her composure.

However, she quickly calmed down, knowing that her restrictions on Toyokawa's brain would prevent those secrets from being exposed.

Moreover, Toyokawa is a low-key and cautious person, so he probably wouldn't reveal his secrets on his own initiative.

Then what Elder Cheng said must be something else entirely.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, I have discovered that this young man possesses extraordinary comprehension, truly beyond the heavens!" Elder Cheng said.

"Oh? What kind of supreme method is that, and what kind of heaven-defying method is it?" Bai Linglong asked.

"I have discovered that this disciple not only possesses a photographic memory, but also has exceptional comprehension."

He can immediately and thoroughly understand any book he reads.

These aren't even the most amazing ones!

What's most impressive is that he not only understood and grasped the concepts, but he was also able to correct the errors and omissions in the book!

I have observed him for many days, and I have personally verified each time he adds annotations to the books.

Not a single mistake, everything is correct!

This has never happened before.

Moreover, even though I've guarded the library for hundreds of years and know all the books inside by heart, I still can't do what he did!

Elder Cheng answered truthfully.

"According to Elder Cheng, this child is indeed a promising talent."

Elder Cheng, rest assured, after he establishes his foundation, I, the sect master, will personally accept him as my disciple!

"We will never let the sect's geniuses go to waste!" Bai Linglong said.

Upon hearing this, Elder Cheng was stunned.

No? Is something wrong? Something feels off!

By the way, I didn't come here to find you an apprentice, did I? I'm the one who had the idea of ​​taking on an apprentice myself!

How did it suddenly become that you're going to take on apprentices? What have I been saying all this time for?

Oh dear, I should have kept quiet! This is truly a case of shooting myself in the foot.

"What? Elder Cheng thinks it's inappropriate?" Bai Linglong asked.

"Ah? Oh, no, no, no, I didn't mean that."

That child is fortunate to be accepted as a disciple by the sect leader!

This means the sect will have another pillar of strength in the future!

Elder Cheng could only swallow his anger and pretend to be happy despite his grievances!

After Elder Cheng left, Bai Linglong's understanding of Fengchuan was once again refreshed.

This kid always manages to surprise her!

Oh, this isn't a surprise, it's more of a shock!

Elder Cheng returned to the library somewhat dejected.

The thought that I had been following this for so many days, only to end up finding a disciple for someone else, made me feel suffocated and unable to calm down!

I simply stopped paying attention to Toyokawa; after all, he's already someone else's child!

Waaaaah, my disciple! I'm so heartbroken that we've missed each other so much!
