“Young master, I saw your true spiritual energy transformed into a dragon. It was so majestic.” After talking about his own affairs, Cheng Qi thought of the scene he had seen that day and said to Li Tianyan with a smile.

“We would definitely be able to do it when you built the foundation.” Being praised so straightforwardly by Cheng Qi, a smile appeared on Li Tianyan’s face.

After saying that, he patted the fleshiest part of Cheng Qi’s body. The hint was self-evident, causing Cheng Qi to instantly turn red like a cooked shrimp, from head to neck.

“Cough, cough.” When Elder Tian Min saw Li Tianyan coming out of seclusion, he originally wanted to congratulate him, but instead he saw the Taoist lovers behaving indecently in broad daylight and couldn’t help but cough a few times.

Cheng Qi suddenly woke up when he heard Elder Tian Min’s cough, and found that his lips were just a hair apart from Li Tianyan’s. Cheng Qi was so frightened that he quickly jumped off Li Tianyan, as if he had done something wrong and was caught red-handed. He stood beside Li Tianyan with his head shrunk, “Elder.”

“Master, you are here.” Li Tianyan looked magnanimous, nodded to Elder Tian Min who appeared.

Hearing Li Tianyan call him master, Elder Tian Min was secretly happy, but then he felt a little guilty.

Before he could fulfill his responsibilities as a master, Li Tianyan had already become a foundation-establishment cultivator. Elder Tian Min suddenly had a hunch that he might accept Li Tianyan as his disciple in name only.

Even though he was thinking this, Elder Tian Min still straightened his back and said to Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi with a serious face, “You two come to my alchemy room.”

Li Tianyan saw Elder Tian Min turn around and leave, along with Cheng Qi. He followed behind him.

The three people in the alchemy room sat cross-legged opposite each other. Elder Tian Min looked at Li Tianyan for a while, then nodded with satisfaction and said, “The cultivation is stable.”

Li Tianyan had a hasty time to build the foundation, and Elder Tian Min was worried about him. He thought Li Tianyan was so eager to advance because of his competitive self, but now it seemed that it was a matter of course, so he could feel relieved.

Although Cheng Qi had always believed in Li Tianyan, he was relieved to hear the confirmation from Elder Tian Min.

At this time, Elder Tian Min reminded them again, “Xiao Qi is not at a high level now, so it is better for you two to keep a distance.”

The aura of these two people was pure, and it was obvious at a glance that they had not yet had sex. Even if Cheng Qi’s talent was slightly inferior, Elder Tian Min would not say this. However, since they were destined to have a long road in the future, Elder Tian Min hoped they would work hard on their foundations, so no one would suffer loses and setback.

Understanding the meaning of Elder Tian Min’s words, Cheng Qi’s face that had just subsided became hot again. He lowered his head and his index finger unconsciously touched the floor, as if trying to make a hole to get in.

But Li Tianyan nodded solemnly and said, “I understand.”

Upon seeing this, Elder Tian Min said no more and only said to Li Tianyan, “Take out the disciple badge.”

Although he didn’t know what the other party meant, Li Tianyan still reached out from his waist. He took off his disciple badge and saw Elder Tian Min pointing at it. Suddenly, there was an extra number on the badge. Li Tianyan quickly understood that this should be the sect’s contribution.

“This is a gift from your master as you successfully build your foundation. The contribution points can be exchanged for items at the sect’s trading hall. They can also be used in the sect’s library, Lingquan Pool, and other places,” Elder Tian Min explained to Li Tianyan in detail.

Other things, Li Tianyan, were not interested. He only raised his eyes slightly when he heard about Lingquan Pool. It seemed that Tianfan Immortal Sect still had some foundation, and it even had Lingquan Pool. Looking at the numbers on the badge again, Elder Tian Min actually gave him 10,000 contribution points. As far as he knew, one contribution point was worth more than the spirit stone. This was really a big deal.

“Thank you.” Li Tianyan didn’t show any pretense, he changed hands and put the badge away.

Seeing him like this, Elder Tian Min also showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then he said, “By the way, the sect master wants to see you, so you can go to Xuanxiao Palace when you have time.”

“He wants to see me. What’s the reason?” Li Tianyan asked tentatively.

“You don’t have to worry. The sect has a nineteen-year-old foundation-establishment cultivator. The sect leader will definitely want to meet him. You can get some benefits by going there. However, the sect leader will probably ask about the secret realm. If you don’t want to, just refuse directly, and he will definitely not embarrass you,” Elder Tian Min explained.

“Then I’ll go later.” Li Tianyan nodded and agreed. He had long expected that the sect would definitely ask about the matter in the secret realm. Since he decided to stay here for the time being, it would be better to resolve it as soon as possible to avoid being constantly disturbed in the future.

Seeing that Li Tianyan’s reaction was not too contradictory, Elder Tian Min finally felt relieved. Then he talked about the purpose of calling people to the alchemy room today, “You and Cheng Qi are both Huang-level alchemy masters. Why don’t you also refine some? Let me take a look at the process.”

Elder Tian Min had seen some flaws in Cheng Qi’s alchemy before, so he wanted to see how Li Tianyan’s alchemy was doing, so that he could point out any deficiencies.

Li Tianyan already heard from Cheng Qi that Elder Tian Min had taught. He still had some respect for this master. He did not refute, got up and went to the medicine shelf in the alchemy room. He chose a pair of spiritual herbs for refining the foundation-establishment pill.

Although the Foundation Establishment Pill was intended for Qi Condensation cultivators, it was actually the most difficult to refine among the Huang-level pills. With Li Tianyan’s current cultivation level, he could barely refine the simpler Xuan-level pills. However, the spiritual herbs on the shelf were obviously prepared by Elder Tian Min for him and Cheng Qi, and there were no spiritual herbs for refining Xuan-level pills.

Note

When Taoist couple have sex, their energy would merge and unconsciously cultivate. Usually, it would only benefit the high-level partner while the low-level partner could only advance very slowly.
