Time flies like water.
Several months later, a white jade flying boat swiftly skimmed across the sea.
On the white jade flying boat was Fang Qing, who was about to take up his new post.
Thinking back to the expression on Tian Ding's face when he refined the Foundation Establishment Pill and produced three genuine ones, he still felt like laughing.
However, I managed to fool them by claiming that I had the help of a third-tier spiritual spring and that I was occasionally in a good state.
After all, Elder Tianding could occasionally produce three genuine items if he performed exceptionally well.
What the other party didn't know was that Fang Qing could guarantee that each time it would be three genuine items!
"Back to the Taibai Sea area again —"
Looking down at the azure sea, Fang Qing couldn't help but think of the ten-year war and the destruction of the sea turtles—
Not far away, an island with snow-capped mountains came into view.
It is Taibai Island!
Fang Qing landed his flying boat in front of an ice and snow palace, and immediately a beam of light came to greet him: "Is this Senior Brother Fang?"
"I am Fang Qing."
Fang Qing issued a decree: "Is this Senior Brother Yuan, the Guardian?"
"Haha, no need to verify. Fellow Daoist's ability to enter the formation directly is enough to prove your identity."
The former senior brother was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, an old man with white hair who looked very kind.
He was over 150 years old and had experienced many sect wars, so he cherished his life even more at this moment.
As a senior member of the sect, he naturally has some connections with the higher-ups.
This former senior brother clearly knew that another great war was about to break out. At that time, the Jade Island sect would be fine, but the various resource points and islands outside would inevitably be the priority targets of the Sea Destroyer Alliance.
Being able to return to his sect at this time was a great gain for him, so he was very amiable and handed over everything to Fang Qing. He also summoned the Bihai Sect cultivators on the island to pay their respects to Fang Qing together.
Inside the Ice and Snow Palace.
"Junior brother, the spiritual veins here are damaged, so the sect has not planted many medicinal herb fields, and there are not many disciples guarding them on a regular basis."
""
Senior Brother Yuan politely invited Fang Qing to sit down before saying, "Although it's rumored that the garrison commanders of the outer islands are like island lords, enjoying boundless prestige, they don't hold much power here on Taibai Island. Only the spiritual veins are somewhat decent—"
"Senior Brother Yuan, you're too kind. I originally came here for the spiritual spring, after all, I am an alchemist."
Fang Qing gave his own excuse.
"Oh, right, there's also that third-tier Ice Soul Cold Spring—but junior brother, listen to your senior brother, the Ice Soul Cold Heart Sect has already registered it, so it can't be touched lightly."
Senior Brother Yuan gave his instructions.
Fang Qing was speechless: "What do they take me for?"
Fortunately, at this moment, a dozen Qi Refining disciples, led by a male and a female student in the early Foundation Establishment stage, entered the Ice and Snow Palace.
"I have met the garrison commander."
They bowed respectfully and also saw Fang Qing.
One of the female Foundation Establishment cultivators was slightly taken aback.
"What, Junior Brother, do you know Junior Sister Bei? Junior Sister Bei recently succeeded in establishing her foundation. She was originally the spirit plant master of our sect, but was later assigned to this island."
"Brother Yuan smiled."
"We've met twice before."
Fang Qing nodded and looked at another male Foundation Establishment cultivator named Ma Xin, who was also an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator responsible for maintaining the island's formations.
This person is not from the Array Island, but can only be considered a part-time array master. He is currently only a quasi-second-tier array master.
However, it's sufficient for routine maintenance.
"Alright, this Junior Brother Fang Qing will now take over the duties of guarding this island."
After explaining the situation, Senior Brother Yuan handed Fang Qing a golden token, thus completing his mission, and hurriedly left.
The remaining disciples also vaguely heard the rumors, and those who were practicing Qi Refining were filled with fear.
If Taibai Island is attacked and destroyed, the Foundation Establishment stage martial uncles might be able to escape by flying, but they would almost certainly die.
"Greetings, Island Lord."
After the original senior brother left, Ma Xin and Bei Lingshu led their disciples in bowing, using somewhat obsequious language.
"I am merely the garrison commander of this island, not some island lord—"
Fang Qing waved his hand: "I'd like to trouble Junior Sister Bei to show me around the island."
"Yes."
Bei Lingshu blushed slightly, which stunned Ma Xin, who was standing next to her.
"The island's protective formation uses a second-tier, high-grade Four Extremes Profound Ice Formation—this formation can generate extremely cold energy to cultivate Ice Soul Illusionary Spirits, and crucially, it consumes relatively little spiritual energy—"
Bei Lingshu led Fang Qing to a high platform and pointed out the island's landscape.
Moreover, the sect's decision to dismantle the original third-tier grand formation of the Zhong family was also intended to prevent the garrison from using it to establish a separatist regime in the future, wasn't it?
Fang Qing nodded to himself upon seeing this, and then went to another medicinal herb field.
This medicinal field is planted with many spiritual herbs of the cold attribute.
"This is our sect's medicinal herb field, only ten acres have been cultivated—the most precious of which is a patch of Cold Moon Grass."
'
"I'm in charge of this medicinal herb field—"
"Foundation Establishment cultivators' cave dwellings are located on the main peak of the Ice and Snow Palace—they can all enjoy second-tier high-grade spiritual energy. If needed for defense, Senior Brother Ma can secretly adjust the formation to obtain a near-third-tier spiritual energy supply—"
Bei Lingshu gave a very thorough introduction.
"Hmm, not bad————"
Fang Qing, with his hands behind his back, suddenly asked, "Has Miao Yifan, who was with you, reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"Master Miao—Nephew Miao has already attempted Foundation Establishment once, but unfortunately failed."
Bei Lingchu shook his head, seemingly lost in thought.
"I see."
-
Fang Qing didn't say anything; this was expected.
Having offended the giants of Dan Island, and facing such pressure, it's inevitable to feel uneasy during the Foundation Establishment process, reducing the chances of success.
If one can turn pressure into motivation and build a foundation under heavy pressure, then that is the true seed of the Dao.
Unfortunately, Miao Yifan was not—
"By the way, he once offered a Longevity Fruit to Tianding, but he didn't get a second Foundation Establishment Pill in return?"
Fang Qing thought of something.
"Junior Nephew Miao was severely injured in the secret realm, which damaged his foundation. He exchanged various healing elixirs and a Foundation Establishment artifact from Senior Brother Tianding. It is said that he used them together during this Foundation Establishment attempt, but unfortunately, it still didn't work."
"Belinchu sighed."
"I see----"
Fang Qing didn't care about a Qi Refining disciple; it was still uncertain whether the opponent could survive the upcoming battle.
As for Xiang Dahu, he was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining before, and he is still cultivating diligently, striving to reach the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible.
Given the opponent's foundation, as long as they break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, they don't need to wait until the ninth level of Qi Refining is perfected before they can take the Foundation Establishment Pill, guaranteeing 100% success.
After all, this person is Mingzi, and a place has already been reserved for him.
"Alright, I'll go see that Ice Soul Spring myself, you don't need to come along."

Fang Qing arrived at a certain spot in the herb garden, waved for Bei Lingshu to leave, and went to the underground palace, where he saw the Ice Soul Cold Spring that nurtured the Ice Soul Cold Heart.
Whizzing!
The walls of the surrounding cave are colorful, while at the bottom of the cold spring are seven small ice crystals.
"It seems that after the last time, the sect trained another one, and it's only at the first rank—"
He shook his head, transformed his [Ji Shui] magic power, and began to sense the various characteristics of this third-tier spiritual spring.
"What a fine spring! — This spring seems to possess even greater spiritual power than the one in the sect."
A moment later, Fang Qing opened her eyes, a hint of joy appearing on her face.
One month later.
Beside the icy, cold spring.
Fang Qing formed hand seals, conjuring an extremely cold ice dragon, with a series of bright blue pills held in its mouth.
This is him using the second-tier demon core of the four-armed crocodile dragon to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Whizzing!
The cold wind howled, but then stopped abruptly.
Fang Qing waved his hand, and three ice dragons came to him, spitting out three Foundation Establishment Pills.
"Three pills formed—hmm?"
He extended two fingers and picked up a Foundation Establishment Pill.
This Foundation Building Pill was not only slightly larger than the two on either side, but it also emitted a strange fragrance.
"Premium Foundation Establishment Pills? Two genuine ones and one premium one? Is this due to further improvement in my alchemy skills, or is it thanks to this Ice Soul Cold Spring?"
Fang Qing was overjoyed.
Premium Foundation Establishment Pills can increase the probability of Qi Refining cultivators breaking through to Foundation Establishment by nearly 40%, making them priceless treasures.
But for Foundation Establishment cultivators, it's just that—
Several months later.
At the edge of the Ice Soul Cold Spring.
Fang Qing activated the Qi Gathering Technique, collecting the last trace of the Cave Spring's essence!
"I didn't expect the gas extraction to be progressing so quickly."
"But that's understandable. After all, it's a third-tier underground spiritual spring, and my cultivation is much deeper—how could I possibly be the same as a mortal, or even someone in the Qi Refining stage?"
He murmured to himself, gazing at the complete spring in front of him, silently dispersing all his magical power into surging primordial energy. Then, he opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the true essence and circulating the "Listening to the Mysterious Spring Scripture".
Whoosh!
-
Inside the underground cave, a sudden gust of cold wind arose.
When everything is fully matured, it flows naturally, circulating throughout the body, generating a wisp of [Ji Shui] magical power in the dantian.
"As expected of the Purple Mansion Technique and the Seventh-Order True Qi—the quality of this wisp of [Ji Water] magic power far surpasses that of the 'Viewing the Black Tomb Book'—"
Fang Qing silently contemplated for a moment, then the Dao Sheng Pearl spun rapidly, and a large amount of primordial energy was frantically poured into his dantian, nurturing and strengthening that trace of [Ji Shui] magic power.
Level 2, Level 3... Level 9!
Then, the mysterious energy that had transformed the original Dao Foundation fell and transformed into a brand new Dao Foundation—"Wei Linfeng"!
"This immortal foundation is the manifestation of the wind of the [Ji Water], which is—the water flows through the Ji vein, the wind arrives at its position, the pine trees echo, the springs murmur in the valleys, naturally transforming and manifesting virtue—"
Whoosh!
A gentle breeze was blowing, and Fang Qing felt as if he had transformed into a wisp of breeze, merging into it.
One figure after another emerged from the cave, one multiplying into three, three into nine —
Then, countless figures appeared, making it impossible to distinguish which was the real person and which was a shadow.
"I have directly cultivated the 'Shadowless Escape of Xun Wind' to the third level, and even the fourth level at the Core Formation stage. I have gained considerable understanding of true wind escape techniques."
Suddenly, the countless figures vanished, revealing Fang Qing's true form.
It moves with the wind, its speed is astonishing, and it occasionally merges into the wind, appearing in another place as if it were teleporting.
Even more terrifying is that one can move and twist in the narrow underground cave without being bound by the stalactites.
"Not bad, not bad—if I had this Wind Escape Technique, even a regular Core Formation cultivator wouldn't be able to stop me—"
Having achieved the Dao foundation of "Reaching the Wind's Edge," I'm probably on par with those wind-attribute spiritual cultivators—
""
"Most importantly, even if I switch back to the Azure Sea Technique, my understanding and mastery of this technique will not regress; at most, it will be less agile in its execution than it is now."
