108: Lin Yucheng Returns

At Lin Yongmao's home.

Seeing Lin Yongmao return, Han Yuying began to chatter again, a smile gracing her face:

"Yongmao, thanks to your method, the Cloud Mist Tea Trees in the Spirit Plant Garden have indeed increased their yield significantly. It's just a pity that the number of cloud crystals is limited, otherwise, we could use this method to increase the growth speed of six-hundred-year Cloud Mist Tea!"

Lin Yongmao listened patiently, while taking out several cloud crystals from his Storage Pouch.

"I found these on Cloud Mist Mountain. There are quite a few, so you can take them and use them!"

His Thousand-Year Cloud Mist Tea Tree also needed cloud crystals, but the amount of cloud crystals and muscovite ore he obtained last time was quite substantial, completely enough for his own use.

"Your father should be back soon, right? I really hope he can successfully exchange for the resources your grandfather needs, so our Lin Family can have peaceful days."

Han Yuying showed a worried expression, but she quickly stopped talking, afraid of causing her son more concern.

Lin Yongmao advised, "Mother, don't worry! Father has the Qingyuan Sword Talisman Treasure on him. If he encounters danger, he can completely use the Talisman Treasure to fight the enemy."

"That's true, I was overthinking it."

Lin Yongmao quickly changed the subject: "Mother, your cultivation has already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Can you tell me about your insights and things to pay attention to when breaking through a Realm?"

Because he Cultivated the Breath Concealment Art, Lin Yongmao's cultivation Realm could not be seen through by others.

He withdrew the Breath Concealment Art. Immediately, the aura of Qi Refinement Stage Great Perfection was released.

"Son, you've already Cultivated to Qi Refinement Stage Great Perfection so quickly?"

Lin Yongmao smiled and nodded.

Han Yuying explained in detail: "Actually, advancing to Foundation Establishment is the process of compressing one's own Spiritual Qi from a gaseous state to a liquid state. It sounds simple, but it is actually very complex."

"A Cultivator's Dantian is like a container. From Qi Refining Stage First Layer to Qi Refinement Stage Great Perfection, it is the process of filling this container. If it is successfully filled, you reach your current Realm—Qi Refinement Stage Great Perfection."

"But if you want to continue to improve, you can only continuously compress your own gaseous Spiritual Qi into liquid Spiritual Qi. This process requires the aid of external force."

Lin Yongmao seemed to realize something: "Are you talking about the Foundation Establishment Pill? The Foundation Establishment Pill is this external force."

Han Yuying said with an appreciative look, "That's right, a Foundation Establishment Pill can do it, or a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi injected into the body can also work."

Lin Yongmao mused that his father Lin Yucheng's Foundation Establishment method was like this; he directly consumed a thousand-year purple jade fruit. The thousand-year purple jade fruit contained a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and he directly established his Foundation in such a dominant manner.

However, this Foundation Establishment method also has risks, which is that the body might not be able to withstand it at any time, leading to damage to the Meridians and Dantian.

Lin Yongmao himself would certainly not choose such a risky method.

If it wasn't 100% successful, he basically wouldn't try it easily.

Han Yuying seemed to see Lin Yongmao's worries and said, "Your father bought a High Grade Foundation Establishment Pill in Yang City last time, and it was for you. With your dual Spiritual Root Aptitude, the success rate of Foundation Establishment is at least over 95%."

"However, you still have to consider one problem..."

Lin Yongmao quickly asked, "What problem?"

"That is, what second-order Cultivation Technique to Cultivate?"

Lin Yongmao had indeed not considered this issue yet. He disdained ordinary second-order Cultivation Techniques, but the God Farmer Sign-in System had not checked out a suitable second-order Cultivation Technique for him to Cultivate.

"After successfully establishing my Foundation, do I immediately need to Cultivate a Foundation Establishment level Cultivation Technique?"

"Not necessarily, it's just that your cultivation will always remain at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage."

Han Yuying continued, "The Cultivation Technique I Cultivate is a wood-attribute second-order Cultivation Technique—the 'Evergreen Spirit Rhyme Art.' This is quite suitable for you."

"The 'Evergreen Spirit Rhyme Art' is the Lin Family's Legacy Cultivation Technique. The wood-attribute Spiritual Qi Cultivated from it is pure and gentle, suitable for cultivating spiritual plants, but it lacks offensive capabilities."

Lin Yongmao slowly shook his head; this was not suitable for him.

Although he didn't like fighting, he had a strong sense of impending danger.

He wished he didn't have to participate in a battle, but he also hoped to possess considerable combat ability.

As Lin Yongmao was still hesitating over the choice of Cultivation Technique, Lin Yucheng, covered in dust, stepped into the house. He was carrying a rosy-cheeked little girl on his back.

"Father!"

"Husband!"

Lin Yucheng had finally returned. The first thing he did upon returning was to see his wife and son.

For him, his wife and son came first, followed by the Family.

Lin Yongmao's clothes were covered in dust, having experienced a life-and-death escape battle and then crossed the Qingyang Mountain Range.

The hardships along the way were imaginable.

Han Yuying's face was full of joy, but also a hint of sorrow.

The joy was because Lin Yucheng had finally returned safely; the sorrow was because of the dangers he had experienced.

Seeming to notice Han Yuying's emotions, Lin Yucheng quickly comforted her: "Didn't I come back?"

Han Yuying's eyes welled up with tears: "Promise me, don't go out casually anymore. Let's just live peacefully within the Family."

Lin Yucheng did not agree, nor could he.

"Don't talk about that. I've already bought all the things Father asked me to buy. And there are quite a few things left for our son."

Lin Yucheng quickly changed the subject. As soon as his Storage Pouch opened, various items continuously appeared on the table.

Nether Bamboo Root System

Clear Heart Grass Seeds

Three-hundred-year twin petal ice soul snow lotus

Numerous spiritual plant seeds

Medicinal Pills for improving cultivation

Various functional Talismans

...

These were all Cultivation resources highly valued by Cultivators.

Lin Yucheng did not prioritize himself, but rather placed his son Lin Yongmao's needs first.

Lin Yongmao put all these resources into his Storage Pouch. There was no need for him to be coy.

Only with sufficient Cultivation resources could he continuously improve his strength and gain the ability to protect his Family and Family.

"What were you two talking about?" Lin Yucheng asked.

Han Yuying sighed: "We were discussing Yongmao's Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation Technique. We still don't have a suitable Cultivation Technique for him!"

"Oh?! Is Yongmao about to establish his Foundation?"

Lin Yongmao directly revealed his Qi Refinement Stage Great Perfection cultivation. Normally, because he used the Breath Concealment Art, his cultivation could not usually be seen through by others.

Lin Yongmao nodded.

"I'll go find your grandfather. Perhaps he has a Cultivation Technique suitable for you to Cultivate," Lin Yucheng said.

Lin Yucheng was going to find Lin Xuanbo, especially to hand over the resources needed for Core Formation to him.

Lin Yongmao said, "Give some more thousand-year cloud mist tea leaves to grandfather. If his Divine Sense Realm can advance earlier, then the possibility of breaking through to Golden Core will also be higher."

The process of Core Formation requires facing one's Heart Demon directly. The stronger the Divine Sense, the stronger the ability to resist the Heart Demon.

Core Formation requires Clear Heart Grass. In fact, Clear Heart Grass can be completely replaced by thousand-year cloud mist tea leaves.
