Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 131: Avenging a Debt

Baihu Mountain.

"Sister Qiuhui, have you made up your mind?"

Lu Suolan looked at Xu Qiuhui. "Left Wen is the head of the Treasure Pavilion after all. Although he is still unconscious, with the strength of the Treasure Pavilion, there may be a chance to revive him."

"If he dies, it's all over. But if he comes back to life and you use this Spirit Pill, then Baihu Mountain will bear the blame. For the sake of just one person, our reputation will be damaged," she continued.

Li An has been unconscious for a month.

During this month, Xu Qiuhui has been preparing without hesitation.

Preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

Now, her condition is getting better and she is ready to make a breakthrough.

The two pills that Zhang Deyi refined are in their hands, one is a normal Spirit Pill, and the other is an inferior pill.

Of course, Xu Qiuhui wants to use the normal pill.

But according to their agreement, the normal pill should belong to Li An.

"Sister, only you and I know the situation of Zhang Deyi's pill refinement. But Left Wen is not easy to fool. If you give him an inferior pill, will he just let it go?" Lu Suolan smiled slightly.

Xu Qiuhui said calmly, "After Sister successfully reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, she will make it up to Left Wen."

"Besides, he is almost two hundred years old and is still only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. He originally had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime. By then, I will try to find other treasures for him and he should understand," she continued.

Lu Suolan nodded. "This is the pill that Zhang Deyi refined. You can do whatever you want with it. But there is one thing you need to remember. I don't know the order of pill selection that you and Left Wen agreed upon. What you told me is that you have the priority to choose!"

Saying that, she handed both pills to Xu Qiuhui.

Xu Qiuhui took the pills, her hands trembling slightly, filled with excitement.

That day, she began her seclusion, preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage...

Time flies.

Four months have passed since Li An fell into a coma.

On this day.

In Baihu City, suddenly there were dense auspicious clouds gathering, and the voice of the Great Dao resounded.

Boom!

For a while, the protective formation of Baihu City was fully activated, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged towards a certain direction of Baihu Mountain like a raging ocean.

In Baihu City, everyone was shocked.

"Dense auspicious clouds, surging spiritual energy, this... someone is breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"It's in the direction of Baihu Mountain. Baihu Mountain has someone breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage again... If successful, Baihu Mountain will have another pill cultivator!"

"Now Baihu Mountain already has one Gold Core cultivator, one True Pill cultivator, and two False Pill cultivators. If there is one more... their strength will greatly increase!"

"Many of Baihu Zhenren's disciples have already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage. I wonder who is breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage now..."

For a while, everyone was discussing and paying close attention.

On Baihu Mountain.

In a certain cave.

Xu Qiuhui sat cross-legged on a cushion, naked, surrounded by piles of spiritual stones.

Her body was violently undulating, and the spiritual power within her was surging madly.

The Spirit Gathering Formation was working, and she had already touched that threshold. The vast source of heaven and earth's aura surged into the cave and condensed within her body.

In her dantian, the spiritual liquid churned and condensed, boiling up, forming a rapidly rotating water sphere above her dantian. The water sphere was shrinking and compressing while absorbing the incoming spiritual energy.

As the water sphere continued to shrink, it had already solidified. Xu Qiuhui could even hear the voice of the Great Dao, the aura of the Great Dao was favoring her. This was the final step of forming a pill...

Getting close to the Great Dao, receiving the assistance of the Great Dao, and completely condensing the Spirit Pill.

The water ball above the dantian gradually condenses and eventually transforms into a pale yellow solid true pill, with the aura of the Great Dao attaching to it.

"I did it, I'm going to succeed... a true pill!"

Xu Qiuhui is extremely excited, driving her entire body's blood energy to burst forth and merge with this true pill.

This is the final step, the merging of blood energy and true pill, completely stabilizing it.

But, it is at this moment--

Just as her blood energy touches the perfect true pill, the true pill unexpectedly cracks open--

A strand of inexplicable blood energy disrupts her progress.

During the process of pill condensation, not even the slightest flaw can appear, but now, she has been disturbed and the true pill is damaged.

"No!"

Xu Qiuhui is shocked and stunned, but immediately after is the inability to accept it. She exerts all her strength, trying to make up for it...

But in the end, the cracking of the true pill cannot be stopped, and it crumbles into ashes within her dantian.

"Poof--"

Xu Qiuhui suddenly spews out a mouthful of blood, opens her eyes, her face pale, and falls straight down.

In her beautiful eyes, two silent tears fall, leaving only despair and sorrow in her pupils.

It's over...

She knows that her entire life is over!

Why, in her life of seeking the Great Dao, with such firm determination, why did she still fail...

...

"Sister Qiuhui... failed?!"

"How could this be, the auspicious clouds of the Great Dao have already entered the final stage, how could they suddenly disperse..."

"Quick, go save her!"

On Baihu Mountain, everyone who was protecting Xu Qiuhui hurriedly rushed towards the closed-off mountain cave.

But Luo Sulan let out a soft sigh, "The true pill failed, the true pill failed..."

...

The celestial phenomenon disperses, the auspicious clouds of the Great Dao cease, and the spiritual energy stops surging.

Everyone in Baihu City who is paying attention to this matter also understands that the person attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage has failed.

...

Three months after Xu Qiuhui's failed attempt to break through to Core Formation, countless golden lights burst forth from Baihu Mountain.

The qi of the earth surges wildly, the signs of heaven and earth become even more intense, and the auspicious clouds of the Great Dao gather once again. Among them, golden clouds appear, sprinkling golden light.

On this day, Baihu Zhenren emerges from seclusion.

News of his peak Gold Core cultivation spreads, overwhelming the entire Baihu City and causing cultivators in the world to feel palpitations.

"Gold Core, this is the aura that only a perfect Gold Core possesses..."

"Baihu Zhenren, perfect and flawless..."

"A generation of Nascent Soul, I'm afraid he will rise from today... From a wandering cultivator to Gold Core, he will most likely become a great Nascent Soul cultivator. Baihu Zhenren is truly a genius!"

People are filled with emotion.

...

Li An, who is still unconscious, is unaware of all this.

However, after Baihu Zhenren emerges from seclusion, his senior disciple Mo Xuan, who was sent by him, personally visits Li An once and leaves behind many precious second-grade elixirs for her healing.

Several months pass, and on this day, Li An finally slowly wakes up from her deep sleep...

"The Sect Master has awakened, the Sect Master has awakened--"

The maidservant who is attending to him exclaims with joy.

"Great, after one year and two months, the Sect Master has finally awakened!"

Cheers erupt outside...
