What kind of Taoist Foundation should be established?Mo Hua had never considered this question before, so he asked:“What’s the difference between Foundation Establishment and Foundation Establishment?”“Cultivators differ greatly from one another, and so naturally do the Foundations they establish.”Mr. Zhuang continued to explain:“The foundation of a cultivator relies on Divine Sense, Spiritual Power, and the physical body.”“Different cultivators have inherent distinctions in their Sea of Consciousness, Qi Sea, and physical body from birth, and the Cultivation Techniques and Taoist Skills they practice are also varied. With different choices, the path of their cultivation will naturally differ as well.”Mo Hua was a bit worried now.He originally thought that just being able to establish a Foundation was good enough, but he hadn’t expected that there’d be so much to consider even for Foundation Establishment, including the need to choose what to cultivate.He had never thought ab

Mo Hua bid farewell to Mr. Zhuang, walked through the bamboo grove, crossed the meadow, passed the pond, and soon arrived under the big locust tree.Underneath the locust tree, Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi were reading.Seeing Mo Hua, Bai Zisheng’s eyes lit up, and he hastily tossed aside the book in his hands, asking,“Where have you been? Haven’t seen you around lately.”Mo Hua opened the food box and shared the beef and cakes that his mother had prepared with Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi.“I got held up by some matters.”Bai Zisheng nodded and didn’t ask further, focusing on eating his beef.He was simple-minded; when there was meat to eat, he generally stopped thinking about anything else.Mo Hua thought for a while, then asked him, “Zisheng, when do you plan to reach Foundation Establishment?”Bai Zisheng corrected him, “You should call me Brother Bai!”Mo Hua ignored him.While eating the meat from Mo Hua, Bai Zisheng felt obliged to answer,“There’s still some time. I need to solidify

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then could only sigh.With his cultivation so weak and his knowledge of formations so limited, even if Mr. Zhuang was in trouble, he was incapable of offering help.“I should just focus on my cultivation, learn formations diligently, so that one day, when my Tao cultivation succeeds, I can properly repay my mentor for his kindness in teaching me.”Mo Hua nodded, and seeing that it was already 1 p.m., he sank his Divine Sense into his Sea of Consciousness, painstakingly began practicing the Reversed Spirit Formation with the help of the Taoist Stele.Days passed calmly like flowing water, with Mo Hua dedicating himself to cultivation and Drawing Formations as always.In addition, he was very concerned about the matter concerning the Black Mountain Stronghold, but he had no idea how the situation was progressing with the court officials.A few days later, around noon, Mo Hua paid a visit to Old Mr. Feng, received some everyday Pills, and on his way home, he

Zhang Lan had resolved not to allow Mo Hua into the mountain, but now that something had come up, he still needed Mo Hua’s help, so he felt somewhat embarrassed.But Mo Hua was indifferent, the matters Zhang Lan asked for his assistance with, must be related to the eradication of Black Mountain Stronghold.As long as he could wipe out Black Mountain Stronghold and slaughter all the evil cultivators inside, he was very willing to help.Zhang Lan led Mo Hua into the Inner Mountain and came to a desolate peak.The area around the peak was pockmarked, bearing numerous traces of confrontations between cultivators, though these marks were old, and there were still a few opened mine tunnels on the mountain.Mo Hua was somewhat surprised.This peak was actually Nameless Peak.It was the same one they had contested with the Qian Family over for the small spiritual mine.The traces of battle surrounding it were left from when Monster Hunters fought with the Qian Family’s cultivators; of course,

Leader Yang allocated three teams of Taoist Soldiers, all clad in armor and wielding sharp weapons, with profound cultivation.Leader Yang sternly ordered them, “This mission must ensure Mr. Mo’s complete safety, otherwise military law will be enforced!”“Yes!” the Taoist Soldiers replied in unison.Afterward, Leader Yang led the way with the three teams of Taoist Soldiers, escorting Mo Hua into the depths of the Foggy Forest, while Mo Hua and Zhang Lan followed behind.Along the way, Mo Hua secretly asked Zhang Lan, “Uncle Zhang, are you and Leader Yang very close?”“Fairly,” he replied.“It seems like you have a good relationship.”“What nonsense,” Zhang Lan retorted with a twist of his mouth, “Where is it good?”“It looks pretty good to me.”Zhang Lan glared slightly at Mo Hua and explained,“Our Zhang Family and Yang Family have long-standing marital ties, with the elders related by blood and marriage, so there’s frequent contact. He and I are about the same age, we’ve known each
