Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 728 - 645: Genius Girl

Zeng Yuyuan’s face was full of joy.

She knew a bit of the inside story.

Ming Shen True Master, both her great-grandfather and master, had great expectations for Yang Huofeng.

And then there was the mysterious Shen Haoming.

Ming Shen True Master repeatedly instructed her to be courteous and respectful to Junior Brother Shen and not to offend him.

"Could it be that Junior Brother Shen has another identity and is extremely venerable?"

Otherwise, she couldn’t understand why Ming Shen True Master, who was at the late stage of True Pill, valued Shen Haoming so highly and repeatedly emphasized his importance.

"Sixteen years old and established Dao Foundation, Yang Shimei is truly extraordinary!"

This kind of thing was unheard of.

Even the prodigies of the Fire Cloud Sect had to be over thirty to establish Dao Foundation.

Someone like Yang Huofeng was practically a monster.

She had never heard of such a young Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Zeng Yuyuan gazed at the Spiritual Qi Clouds above the cave mansion on Scarlet Mist Peak, her emotions surging.

...

Yang Huofeng emerged from the inner layer of the cave mansion, seeing the anxious-looking Yang Yunfan, she said just one sentence.

"Father, Huofeng has established the Dao Foundation, now returning to her room to stabilize the realm."

Yang Yunfan, overwhelmed with tears, was too emotional to speak.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the cave mansion, someone was coming to pay a visit.

Yang Yunfan wiped away his tears and personally watched Yang Huofeng enter her training room.

Only then did he leave the mansion, took out the array token that Shen Xuan gave him, and deactivated the array restriction outside the cave mansion.

The visitor was Ming Shen True Master.

He disregarded Yang Yunfan and directly sent a sound transmission.

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, Ming Shen is here to visit."

Shen Xuan was already awaiting at the door of the inner layer of the cave mansion.

After the two entered.

As soon as they sat down, Shen Xuan was still brewing tea.

Ming Shen True Master couldn’t wait to ask, "How is Yang Huofeng?"

The celestial phenomenon lasted only for a day.

Though grand in momentum, with the phenomenon of phoenix wings.

Without seeing Yang Huofeng in person, he felt unsure.

"Brother Ming Shen, congratulations. Yang Huofeng established Foundation in one day; an Upper Grade Dao Foundation."

"That’s wonderful!"

Ming Shen True Master was overjoyed.

"Where is Yang Huofeng, that child?"

"She’s gone back to her room to consolidate her realm, Brother Ming Shen, don’t worry."

Shen Xuan served a freshly brewed cup of Spirit Tea.

"I separated a small cluster of the original fire of the scarlet cloud and planted it into her Dao Foundation fire sea."

"Ah! Can she endure it?"

Ming Shen True Master took the Spirit Tea, then placed it back on the table and asked with concern.

"Brother Ming Shen, do not underestimate Yang Huofeng. She has a trace of the Divine Bird Phoenix bloodline, naturally attuned to various heavenly Spirit Fires."

"This small cluster of original fire of the scarlet cloud was perfectly absorbed by her, integrated into her Dao Foundation Spirit Sea."

Shen Xuan replied calmly.

"That’s wonderful!"

Ming Shen True Master couldn’t help but praise again.

He was sincerely happy for Yang Huofeng.

Shen Xuan reminded, "A sixteen-year-old Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Brother Ming Shen, have you thought of a plan?"

Yang Huofeng was crucial to the revival of the Fire Cloud Sect.

Many hoped she would not rise.

"What plan could there be? When soldiers come, we block them with arms; when water comes, we cover it with soil. Ming Shen would risk his old life to protect her!"

"In the future, without special reasons, Yang Huofeng should not leave Flame Island. It’s best to stay within Scarlet Mist Peak, and minimize going out."

Shen Xuan nodded.

"That’s the only way."

Yang Huofeng’s exceptional talent, the matter of her Foundation Establishment at sixteen, couldn’t be kept secret; it would eventually be revealed.

Fortunately, this was Yue Country.

The Fire Cloud Sect was a vassal of the Nascent Soul Sect Yueyun Sect.

Being cautious, staying on Flame Island, Ming Shen True Master could still protect Yang Huofeng.

Shen Xuan didn’t trust Yueyun Sect.

But he didn’t want to speak ill of Yueyun Sect baselessly in front of Ming Shen True Master and sow discord.

After all, Yueyun Sect had sheltered the Fire Cloud Sect.

This kindness could not be easily erased.

As for Yueyun Sect exacting tasks from the Sect, collecting tribute, this was normal.

One couldn’t expect someone to shelter you and provide you with good clothes and food.

Such a practice didn’t exist in the Celestial Profound Land.

As a vassal force, one must have the awareness of being a vassal.

Unless Yueyun Sect committed heinous, unreasonable acts.

Fire Cloud Sect wasn’t in a position to criticize Yueyun Sect.

Moreover, Yueyun Sect had the duty to protect the Fire Cloud Sect.

As a former Golden Core Sect, Fire Cloud Sect still had a certain degree of independence.

If they wished to leave.

In principle, as long as both Sects’ accounts were settled, with no debts remaining, Yueyun Sect couldn’t stop them.

Shen Xuan and Ming Shen True Master held different positions.

He was merely fulfilling his oath to the Heavenly Dao.

It would be better if the Fire Cloud Sect could revive.

If not, they would gradually accumulate power.

He had a long lifespan and could afford to wait.

It was merely waiting for the next prodigy of the Fire Cloud Sect to emerge.

Ming Shen True Master couldn’t help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, do you think Yang Huofeng has a chance of Core Formation?"

Perhaps the expectations were too high.

Ming Shen True Master couldn’t help himself.

"Brother Ming Shen, you’re caught in appearances. The matter of Core Formation depends on heavenly will and human hearts; it can’t be predicted in advance."

Shen Xuan replied calmly.

Qi Cultivation Cultivators seeking Foundation Establishment was one in a hundred.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators condensing Inner Core were even rarer.

If filtering out Fake Pills, the probability was still less than one percent.

Spirit Root, aptitude, Dao heart, comprehension, experience, endurance, etc., all factors influence.

Some Celestial Spirit Root Cultivators, lacking tempering, couldn’t even condense a Fake Pill.

Besides, a cultivator’s luck value cannot be underestimated.

Some cultivators, appearing mediocre, could smoothly advance with few obstacles.

Shen Xuan’s master, True Master Gu Feng, was a prime example.

Aside from a decent Spirit Root, he was ordinary in other respects.

Unskilled in any cultivation arts.

Yet True Master Gu Feng could focus on cultivation, from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, and then to condense a True Pill.

He was able to pass through dangers seamlessly, which was truly remarkable.
