In the cave, Zhou Yun was sitting cross-legged cultivating. The spiritual energy and the mist surrounding his body did not dissipate for a long time.
After a long time, Zhou Yun finally recovered from his meditation and let out a mouthful of turbid Qi.
“I didn’t expect the legendary tenth layer of Qi cultivation to have such a huge difference from the ninth layer of Qi cultivation!”
Zhou Yun felt that he could now easily destroy ten of him in the past!
Furthermore, it was an all-rounded improvement without dead angle in speed, strength, spiritual Qi reserve, and other aspects!
“My cultivation has been consolidated. It’s time to see the sect leader.
Although the secret realm this time was somewhat dangerous, the gains were enormous too!
The problem of foundation that Zhou Yun was most worried about had been perfectly resolved. He had even awakened his Divine Sense!
Speaking of Divine Sense, Zhou Yun blushed and shook his head to erase Qiao’er’s alluring figure from his mind.
The most important thing now was neither the tenth layer of Qi cultivation nor the Divine Sense. It was the sect leader’s promise!
Zhou Yun recalled the sect leader’s instructions after he came out of the secret realm and couldn’t help but feel excited.
To be able to have the most powerful person of this era, a golden core cultivator, arrange for his breakthrough to the foundation establishment stage, was a treatment that even Meng Fei’ang, the eldest disciple of the inner sect, couldn’t ask for!
Speaking of Meng Fei’ang, Zhou Yun remembered that in the end, Meng Fei’ang had released killing intent at him like a madman. Zhou Yun’s eye expression turned cold.
“First, he arranged for an inner sect disciple to kill me. Now, he even released his killing intent at me in front of all the elders and sect leaders!
“Not only these, he even tried to kill Qiao’er!”
Although Zhou Yun wanted to keep a low profile, it didn’t mean that he would be soft-spoken and submissive, and allow others to simply do anything to him as they pleased!
If it wasn’t for the fact that Ling Qingyun had explicitly forbidden them from killing each other within the sect, Zhou Yun wouldn’t have stopped pursuing the matter so easily.
“If you’re smart, you’d better not appear in front of me again. Otherwise …” The sword intent on Zhou Yun’s body surged.
“Brother Zhou Yun!” Qiao’er’s adorable voice sounded from outside the cave and interrupted Zhou Yun.
“Forget it, bad luck!” Zhou Yun shook his head. Rather than feeling upset with Meng Fei’ang, who was like a stray dog, he might as well focus on Qiao’er.
When he opened the door of the cave, a beautiful figure could not wait to jump into Zhou Yun’s arms.
Feeling the familiar softness in his arms, Zhou Yun’s hand paused for a moment before he pushed Qiao’er away.
Today, Qiao’er was wearing a light pink pleated skirt. Its length was just right revealing her fair and pinkish knees. Below was a pair of attractive beautiful legs, and above was a purplish chiffon cape that faintly revealed her shoulders!
Such an adorable Qiao’er was as adorable as a fairy! Even the passers-by could not help but stop to look at her with their imaginations running wild!

However, in the next moment, they saw Qiao’er leaning close to Zhou Yun again and hugging his shoulder like a little bird.
Zhou Yun suddenly heard the sound of hearts breaking.
When he raised his head and saw the surrounding disciples’ fists harden, Zhou Yun could not help but laugh hideously. He quickly left the place with Qiao’er!
“Brother Zhou Yun!” Qiao’er’s hand was held by Zhou Yun as they were running. She stared at the hand that was being held and blushed.
Zhou Yun naturally felt Qiao’er’s voice soften, and he couldn’t help but have a headache.
Ever since Qiao’er was saved from danger in the secret realm, Qiao’er had become more and more attached to him. It was even worse than before!
Zhou Yun had even heard Qiao’er mumbling about forcefully having a child!
Zhou Yun doubted how much longer he could last against Qiao’er’s attacks!
When they reached a place where people were scarce, the two stopped running and walked slowly side by side. They were silent and the ambiance became enchanting.
“By the way, Qiao’er. We’re going to the sect leader’s place today to discuss the matter of the foundation establishment. Is there anything I need to pay attention to during the foundation establishment?” Zhou Yun shifted his attention. He did not want to maintain the current ambiance any longer.
Ling Qingyun had told him to consolidate his gains in the secret realm before making arrangements for his breakthrough to the foundation establishment stage.
Hence, for the following half a month, Zhou Yun had been cultivating in the cave.
“From Qi cultivation to foundation establishment, although it’s only the difference between the outer sect and inner sect in Spirit Valley, it’s a very important step in cultivation!” Qiao’er became serious and said solemnly.
Seeing Qiao’er’s attention being diverted, Zhou Yun heaved a sigh of relief. While listening to Qiao’er’s explanation, he walked toward the sect leader’s hall.
“Foundation establishment is establishing the foundation of a person, and the foundation is the fundamental of cultivation. A skyscraper of ten thousand feet rises from the ground, but the most important thing is the foundation. And that is foundation establishment!” Qiao’er gestured with her hands. “If not, it’s just an illusion and a dream.
“However, it’s just like how all living things have a thousand faces. In addition to the old-fashioned ancient method of foundation establishment, everyone’s foundation establishment will also have different perfect foundation establishment methods. Thus, finding a good foundation establishment method is the key to determining the foundation of cultivation!” Speaking up till this point, Qiao’er looked at Zhou Yun happily.
“Initially, I had pestered my master to help you with foundation establishment. I never thought that the sect leader would personally take action. Brother Zhou Yun, your foundation establishment will definitely be the most perfect in the entire Spirit Valley!” Qiao’er was truly happy for Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun smiled and touched Qiao’er’s head. He watched as Qiao’er closed her eyes in comfort. He knew the price to get a sect elder to help!
However, Qiao’er did not say a word of complaint and had no intention of taking credit for it.
Zhou Yun sighed with emotion. Qiao’er was indeed adorable in these small details.
Although one could establish the foundation according to the ancient method, it was like an electric car that used diesel and had a diesel generator installed in it. In the end, it would generate electricity to obtain power.
Not only was the process cumbersome, but it also consumed a lot of spiritual energy!
As a result, in the current foundation establishment, disciples in the sects or had strong backgrounds would all ask their masters or pay a high price to get a high-level cultivator to help them find the most suitable method for their foundation establishments!
More so for Zhou Yun who had broken through to the legendary tenth layer of Qi cultivation in the secret realm. Not only could he not use the original ancient foundation establishment method, but it was also tens of times more difficult to find his perfect foundation establishment method than ordinary people!
Zhou Yun sighed with emotion. Ling Qingyun had indeed put down his sect leader’s position and said in front of everyone that he would help him with his foundation establishment. This had indeed solved a huge problem for him.
He had originally planned to use alchemy to get the Grand Elder to help him in his foundation establishment. However, it was clear that it was more appropriate to let the sect leader, Ling Qingyun, help him!
Finally, Zhou Yun and Qiao’er arrived outside the sect leader’s hall.
Zhou Yun didn’t expect to see the person who had brought him bad luck, Meng Fei’ang, here!
Meng Fei’ang looked pale and his eyes were sunken as if he had been seriously ill after staying in the secret realm for only half a month.
He was completely different from the high-spirited senior brother of the inner sect who was surrounded by the crowd half a month ago. Meng Fei’ang was much thinner now, and he looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Zhou Yun frowned. He held Qiao’er’s hand and wanted to bypass Meng Fei’ang to enter the sect leader’s hall.
“Wait! Zhou Yun, the glory disciple! I’m here to apologize!” Meng Fei’ang shouted weakly, dragging his body to stop Zhou Yun.
“I’ve been waiting outside the sect leader’s hall for half a month just to apologize to you!” Meng Fei’ang’s voice was full of emotion, and many of the surrounding disciples couldn’t help but turn their heads.
Zhou Yun finally stopped and looked at Meng Fei’ang. He was very curious about what other tricks Meng Fei’ang had up his sleeve.
