Chapter 4 Complete the Taoist Foundation!

Ji Fuyao continued, "But I know how to prevent the power it holds from dissipating."

With that, Ji Fuyao extended her delicate hand, summoning a gentle spiritual fire. Simultaneously, she tossed several high-level spiritual herbs from her storage ring.

Instantly, the medicinal power of the herbs transformed into rays of light and poured into the dragon meat, preventing the spiritual fire within it from dissipating.

A faint fragrance lingered in the air.

Lu Xuan asked, "What are these spiritual herbs for?"

Ji Fuyao explained, "One is the Fiery Grass, which enhances the effectiveness of the Fire Dragon Meat; one is the Star Grass, a cold-natured spiritual herb that neutralizes the spiritual fire, preventing the Fire Dragon Meat from becoming too potent; and the other is..."

Lu Xuan felt a bit overwhelmed.

As long as it tastes good, that's all.

There's no need to make it so complicated.

Seeing Ji Fuyao so focused, Lu Xuan walked out of the hut and lay outside in the sun, muttering, "I wonder if your cooking is good."

Hearing this, Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she asked, "Is this how you usually prepare spirit beast meat?"

Lu Xuan replied, "Yes."

Ji Fu sighed softly.

So, Lu Xuan had wasted countless cultivation resources over the years!

Lying on a lounge chair outside the hut, Lu Xuan basked in the sun, feeling somewhat cheerful.

Having a disciple is great; I don't have to cook for myself anymore!

Just then, the system's voice rang out.

"Ding! Apprentice Development Task Triggered: Within three days, have Ji Fuyao enter the Xuanhuang Realm! Master the Way of Spiritual Fire! Task rewards will be distributed based on completion."

Lu Xuan was stunned.

Ji Fuyao was currently in the middle stage of the Great Xuan King Realm. Three days to reach the Xuanhuang Realm was a bit tight.

But he had plenty of dragon meat to improve his cultivation!

If all else fails, there's still the elixir Master left behind.

Even if it takes a while, I'll force my way up!

As for achieving the Great Mastery of the Spiritual Fire Dao?

That's easy.

He's already reached the Great Mastery of the Spiritual Fire Dao. With Ji Fuyao's comprehension, a little guidance from him wouldn't be a piece of cake.

Lu Xuan instantly felt reassured and resumed basking in the sun.

Not long after.

Ji Fuyao wiped the sweat from her face and brought out the prepared fire dragon meat, placing it on the stone table in front of Lu Xuan.

They began to eat.

Lu Xuan took a bite and commented, "It's edible."

Ji Fuyao snorted in annoyance.

She also tasted a piece of the fire dragon meat, and soon the rich power of the spiritual fire surged into her body. Sweat dripped from her face, and her breathing became rapid.

Although she had processed the fire dragon meat, the power contained within was still too overwhelming!

She suddenly realized that if even she couldn't handle it, Lu Xuan might be in trouble.

She quickly looked at Lu Xuan and was stunned.

Lu Xuan was completely fine, not even breaking a sweat!

Huh?

Why couldn't she sense Lu Xuan's realm?

Lu Xuan smiled faintly, "Disciple, what's wrong?"

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, finding it difficult to understand Lu Xuan.

But she didn't dwell on it.

She continued to eat the dragon meat while refining the power of the spiritual fire.

She estimated that the power contained in this plate of dragon meat was many times greater than that drop of dragon blood!

For the dragon blood that was withheld, Lu Xuan had made amends!

Not long after.

Ji Fuyao finally finished eating. She looked up and saw that Lu Xuan had already finished and was now lying on a recliner, leisurely basking in the sun.

At this moment, Lu Xuan turned around and pointed at the dishes on the stone table. "Disciple, wash the dishes."

Hearing this, Ji Fuyao was deeply displeased.

She was the Empress of a region!

When had she ever been ordered around like this?

Did Lu Xuan really consider her his disciple?!

At this moment, Lu Xuan suddenly remembered something. He spread his right hand, and a Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation Pill appeared in his palm.

"Oh, right, Disciple, take this pill."

Ji Fuyao froze in her tracks.

A glint of divine light shone in her eyes, a hint of disbelief. "This, this is... a Heavenly Grade Pill, the Dao Foundation Pill!"

She recognized it instantly!

Because in her previous life, she had purchased a Dao Foundation Pill at an auction at a staggering price.

This aura was unmistakable!

Wait.

Ji Fuyao looked at the nine halos on the Dao Foundation Pill, feeling a sense of shock.

In her previous life, the elixir she had won at a hefty price only had three elixir rhymes!

But the Dao Foundation Pill before her had nine!

A supreme, heavenly-grade elixir!

She realized that this Dao Foundation Pill was priceless, enough to cause a bloodbath in the Southern Wilds!

How could Lu Xuan possess such a heaven-defying elixir?

Her Dao Foundation was shattered. If she could take it, it would surely restore it!

This elixir was very important to her!

Thinking of this,

Ji Fuyao's eyes darkened, her delicate body trembling. "Master, this is... a supreme-grade Dao Foundation Pill!"

Lu Xuan smiled faintly and placed the Dao Foundation Pill in her delicate hand.

Ji Fuyao was stunned. "This is too precious!"

Lu Xuan said nonchalantly, "What's so precious about this? I have plenty of good things here. Go wash the dishes."

A moment of silence followed.

Ji Fuyao bit her delicate lips tightly. "I'll wash it! But for three days at most!"

She put away the Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation Pill and began to clear the dishes.

This Dao Foundation Pill was incredibly precious; it could heal her damaged Dao Foundation!

She had to accept it.

Originally, she had entered the Dao Sect with the intention of using the Dao Sutra to complete her Dao Foundation. But now that she possessed the Heavenly Grade Supreme Dao Foundation Pill, she wasn't content with simply completing her Dao Foundation. She intended to use the Dao Sutra to forge the legendary "Perfect Dao Foundation"!

A Perfect Dao Foundation... I hadn't expected to find a glimmer of hope!

However, Ji Fuyao was a little skeptical.

Could it be that Lu Xuan still didn't know the preciousness of this Dao Foundation Pill?

A pill of this caliber was definitely sect-protecting!

Just then, Lu Xuan's voice drifted in.

"Disciple, remember to cook every day."

Ji Fuyao was about to refuse.

Lu Xuan took out a large piece of dragon meat and placed it on the stone table.

Ji Fuyao swallowed her words again. "Three days! I'll just cook for three days and wash dishes for three days!"

Lu Xuan said nonchalantly, "Whatever."

He knew that after three days, there would be another system reward.

Then...

Lu Xuan smiled faintly. "By the way, Fuyao, you're now at the Great Profound King Realm, but those true disciples are all at the Profound Sect Realm. You can't slack off! Starting tomorrow, you must seize every opportunity to cultivate."

With that, Lu Xuan left.

Looking at Lu Xuan's back, Ji Fuyao's eyes flickered with complexity.

Her master wasn't a loser as the rumors said!

The rumors were false!

Quickly.

Ji Fuyao cleaned up the hut and returned to her cave.

Her delicate hands extended, casting countless dazzling seals. She sat cross-legged, her mind calming. A hint of coolness crossed her beautiful, delicate face. Her curvaceous figure, draped in a fiery crimson dress, was revealed, forming a perfect curve.

She began to recall the day's events.

She had originally thought that after joining Qingxuan Peak, she would be in control.

But she hadn't expected Lu Xuan to be anything less than ordinary.

She vaguely remembered that when they had ascended the mountain together, she could still see his realm, but after returning, she could no longer detect it.

And Lu Xuan had casually given her a top-grade Dao Foundation Pill!

Could there be something wrong with this Dao Foundation Pill?

With this in mind, Ji Fuyao's spiritual techniques shifted, using ancient mystical techniques to examine the Dao Foundation Pill. Nine elixirs swirled, shimmering like stars. Mysterious and obscure aura surged, and the "Dao" and "Rhythm" inherent in this top-grade elixir faintly emerged. The elixir held a terrifying power.

After a moment, Ji Fuyao's brow relaxed. This Dao Foundation Pill was flawless.

Forget it, no more thoughts.

Let's take this Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation Pill first!

With this in mind, Ji Fuyao activated her ancient mystical techniques. Endless mystical auras flowed through her body. She adjusted her condition to its peak and swallowed the Dao Foundation Pill directly.

"Chi!"

As the Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation Pill entered her body, a surge of incredibly pure medicinal power poured into Ji Fuyao's jade-like mouth. Her delicate body trembled, and an incomparable numbing sensation instantly coursed through her entire body.

The Heavenly Dao Foundation Pill circulated with an incomparably profound "Dao" and "Rhythm," already woven into Ji Fuyao's blood. For a moment, an obscure and mysterious aura washed over her body, and transcendent power continuously circulated.

Ji Fuyao entered an incomparably strange state.

She quickly gathered her mind, constantly comprehending the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Pill!

This was a supremely fine Heavenly Grade elixir, completely beyond common sense. Even Ji Fuyao had no idea of the transformation her body would undergo.

Ji Fuyao's spiritual sense surveyed her inner world, and she was somewhat astonished.

Marks, radiant like divine rainbows, continuously intertwined through her blood and meridians, shimmering within her lungs and reflecting within her bone marrow.

Her inner world resembled a vast domain, and the power of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Pill illuminated the heavens like countless stars!

Amidst this dazzling divine aura, her Dao Foundation radiated an incomparably blazing light, like a giant sun scorching the heavens, refining the firmament.

Magnificent!

Ji Fuyao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"This kind of vision only appeared when I reached the Sage Realm in my previous life!"

"This Dao Foundation Pill is not only repairing my Dao Foundation, but also improving my entire body, from my blood to my bones, from my meridians to my lungs... everything is being transformed!"

"The value of this Dao Foundation Pill is far more precious than I imagined!"

Ji Fuyao couldn't help but think of the myriad great paths leading to the ultimate, all of which lead to the same destination.

As the saying goes, all roads lead to the ultimate!

Any path, taken to its extreme, will implicitly align with the Way of Heaven, resonating with the heavens and the earth.

And this Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation Pill had reached the pinnacle of alchemy, thus triggering the vision within her!

At this moment, her shattered Dao Foundation was constantly healing, emitting an incomparably crystalline light, moving from tattered to complete, from dim to incomparably radiant.

Inside Ji Fuyao's body, her bones were being tempered, emitting bursts of clanging sounds.

She was stunned. This was the Dao and Rhythm tempering her!

Her blood surged like a mighty river, shimmering with a strange Dao pattern.

This was also the mark left by the Dao Foundation Pill!

Her lungs beat with the most powerful force ever, each beat seemingly syncing with the Dao. She had instantly mastered a breathtaking technique that could only be described as perfect!

At this moment, Ji Fuyao was stunned.

Is this the effect of the Heavenly Grade Supreme Dao Foundation Pill?

Her understanding was improving!

Her meridians were transforming!

Her Dao Foundation had become flawless!

Her hair was crystal clear, and her body radiated an incomparably holy light, like a goddess descending to earth. Her skin grew increasingly fair and delicate, like a newborn baby.

A huge wave surged within Ji Fuyao's heart.

She was transforming!
