Chapter 418: Chapter 387: Recasting the Foundation_1

“How about, we start the cultivation sooner?”

Xu Mu was a little bit annoyed by Feng Que’s enthusiastic and careless behavior.

Being a senior person, dragging him around was not seemly.

“No rush, tell me more about subsequent events, and the specific level of your cultivation. Defeating the Cluster Stars Sect isn’t something a common Nascent Soul elder could do?”

Feng Que was full of curiosity about him, questioning everything, wanting the full details like a gossip journalist, completely different from her former aloof and icy image.

What Xu Mu didn’t know was that Feng Que’s actions were just a disguise, intended to avoid sister Dao and also to avoid bullying by her peers.

“Alright! Alright! I’ll tell you…”

Without being able to use force, Xu Mu could only share more detailed information with Feng Que. They chatted and questioned, not knowing how much time passed.

“Sixth level of Nascent Soul! You’re too lucky!”

Upon hearing that Xu Mu was helping someone to break the chains, and that person helped him ascend several levels in one breath, Feng Que was almost drooling with envy.

“Don’t be envious, whether we can leave here alive is still a question!” Xu Mu said with a bitter smile.

This aunt was quite interesting, different from most women he had contacted.

“If we die, we die. At worst, we’re a Mei-Yuan pair.” Feng Que casually said.

“What did you say?” Xu Mu was stunned.

“No-no, nothing!!” Feng Que finally reacted and hurriedly explained with a blushing face: “I was just joking, don’t take it seriously!”

Xu Mu chuckled and shook his head.

He felt that Feng Que must had been suppressed for too long. Now that she was free from that oppressive environment, she seemed to have let herself go.

But, she was quite adorable.

“Done asking? If you’re done, let’s get started quickly. The sooner you get treated, the more options we have if something happens later!”

If anything changed later, perhaps the people inside the cauldron would still have a chance to survive.

It would be a pity if he didn’t treat his injuries by then.

“Oh, okay!”

Feng Que just nodded, as if to turn the page.

But her heart was thumping, and her casual remark was constantly swirling in her mind.

What am I thinking? He’s my brother-in-law.

No, since he already has two, one more… Oops, it’s them who don’t like you.

No, it’s me who doesn’t like him!

Feng Que firmly denied all sorts of messy thoughts in her mind.

“I’ll teach you a new martial method first, which one do you want to learn?”

The method that Feng Que had been practicing was just a cannon fodder method from the Cluster Stars Sect. It not only had limited power and drained potential but also could only be cultivated to the fake pill realm.

Now that Feng Que was rebuilding her foundation, she naturally couldn’t practice the same method as before.

“What methods are there?”

“There are…”

Xu Mu mentioned some martial methods suitable for Feng Que’s physique. He didn’t know much else, but he knew a great deal about martial methods.

The methods he introduced to Feng Que were all top-tier, enough for her to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.

After choosing the martial method, Xu Mu did not immediately start helping her rebuild the foundation. Instead, he first taught her the content before the Golden Core stage for her to understand and comprehend.

Although Feng Que had the foundation of cultivation at the Fake Pill stage, she still needed to spend a lot of time to learn a profound method from scratch.

A man and a woman, teaching and learning by hand, inevitably – nothing happened.

Although Feng Que had intentions and was not shy, Xu Mu had no further plans.

He didn’t need this now, it wasn’t necessary to mess up the relationship.

However, despite the length of time that passed, even though there was no physical progress, the mental progress they made was undeniable, and both of them had shed some of their former inhibitions.

One day, after Feng Que acquired a good understanding of the martial method, Xu Mu formally began to help her rebuild her foundation.

The first step was to shatter Feng Que’s fake pill.

Even though Feng Que’s fake pill was shaped by outside forces, it was still at the core of her being. Shattering her fake pill also dealt a severe blow to Feng Que herself. The spiritual energy within her became chaotic and her life force began to drain like furious floodwaters bursting through a dam.

From the outside, Xu Mu could see that Feng Que’s originally cold and charming face was rapidly changing. Without proper control, she could die of old age in a short period of time.

The well-prepared Xu Mu acted swiftly. He extracted the chaotic spiritual energy in Feng Que’s body and sealed it. He then had Feng Que take a dose of Xuan Yang Holy Water.

Just like a desert after a heavy rain, Feng Que’s body, which had been in a terrible state due to the shattering of her fake pill, began to repair rapidly.

“Start cultivating!”

Xu Mu reminded her.

Feng Que immediately suppressed her pain and began to practice the newly learned martial method.

Because it was a process of breaking and then rebuilding, it was very much in accordance with the original intention of the new martial method.

However, Xu Mu was not satisfied. He relied on the power from Feng Que’s shattered fake pill to continuously break her body. Then he used Xuan Yang Holy Water to repair her, making Feng Que’s original strength fully integrate with her body, and finally building a strong foundation.

It was fortunate that Feng Que’s cultivation level was not too high, and the grade of the Xuan Yang Holy Water was high enough. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to do this.

Although it was for her own good, the process was quite unbearable.

Feng Que’s sweat kept soaking and drying her clothes, leaving her emotionally erratic.

At the same time, the impurities inside her body were continuously being expelled, forming a thick layer on her skin, turning the beauty into something resembling a smelly beggar from the streets.

All of this made Feng Que frown frequently, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Mu was full of resentment.

Xu Mu turned a blind eye to all this.

It wasn’t until Feng Que’s foundation was entirely solidified, leaving no room for further improvement, that Xu Mu allowed her to officially begin practicing as a cultivator.

Feng Que’s cultivation level began to increase at a terrifying speed.

Middle Stage Qi Cultivation!

Late Stage Qi Cultivation!

Early Stage Foundation Establishment!

Middle Stage Foundation Establishment!

Late Stage Foundation Establishment!

In less than a year, Feng Que raised her cultivation to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment—a level she could hardly have imagined reaching.

During this process, she witnessed more and more of Xu Mu’s techniques. From the initial shock, to admiration, and finally admiration turned into reverence.

Having access to various top-tier pills and possessing knowledge on a multitude of martial techniques, her cultivation did not encounter a single bottleneck.

Even though Feng Que had cultivated before, she only cultivated the easiest fake pill. The fact that she had the help of Cluster Stars Sect turned her existence into an extremely smooth sailing one, yet she still encountered countless problems during her cultivation.

However, now none of these problems even existed in front of Xu Mu.

This gave her an unprecedented cultivation experience.

Regardless of her, any woman, given such an outstanding man and going through so many experiences would find it difficult not to harbor a small fancy about him.

Three years passed in the blink in an eye and Feng Que’s cultivation had broken through to the Golden Pill. It was now, Xu Mu did not need to help her any further.

When Feng Que opened her eyes, the affection in them couldn’t be hidden. If only Xu Mu could give her a bit of his mind, he could—

“You continue your practice. I am leaving!”

Xu Mu disappeared on the spot.

“Bastard!”

Feng Que mumbled irritatedly.

…

After leaving, Xu Mu reappeared in the space where MingLing Chun was located to check on his physical changes.
