"In this way, even when the true news of the Infant Devouring Pill is released, the Shuize Sect will suspect that it was our bait!"

"And by the time they determine the authenticity of the news, the Infant Devouring Pill would have long been in our possession, too late for them to inform the Hu Country cultivators!"

The elderly man in brocade said nothing, but the implication was clear.

After a moment of silence, the elderly man in brocade continued, "I don't have much life left, perhaps with a few more moves, I'll face my demise!"

"At present, it's not yet certain whether the Infant Devouring Pill is in the ruins, it's not time for me to act!"

"If it is there, everything will be great. If not, releasing the news of the Nine Nether Elder and the Infant Devouring Pill, I don't believe that the Shuize Sect and Hu Country cultivators can sit still!"

The elderly man in brocade had a cold gleam in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man didn't feel his master was cunning but rather a strange bitterness in his heart.

If only his master's life were longer; if only he could smoothly form a Nascent Soul, there wouldn't be a need for these means, they could simply advance directly.

Currently, their Luoyun Sect faces its most perilous time in thousands of years.

An unwary step could lead to the sect's destruction and their demise.

Every step must be perfect.

...

...

Two years later.

Thousand Leaves Mountain, cultivation chamber!

As Xu Ping quietly operated the Longevity Skill cultivation technique, strands of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi flowed through his newly opened meridians, returning to his Sea of Qi in his Dantian.

A droplet of liquid mana coalesced and merged into the central water sphere, making it appear more lustrously emerald.

Xu Ping opened his eyes after an indefinite time, finishing his cultivation.

Sensing the mana within his Dantian, he smiled slightly: "One hundred and forty drops of mana, far exceeding typical mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"At this rate of cultivation, it should take seven or eight years to break through to late-stage Foundation Establishment."

"When did I break through to mid-stage Foundation Establishment?"

Xu Ping recalled briefly and realized it was eight years ago.

"Seven years to break into mid-stage Foundation Establishment, fifteen to sixteen years for late-stage Foundation Establishment!"

Xu Ping nodded in satisfaction, pleased with his progress.

After consolidating his cultivation somewhat, he walked out of the cave abode.

Looking around, his mood lifted.

The lush greens and bright reds enveloped him, the unique fragrance of spirit medicine and spirit plants pervaded the whole of Thousand Leaves Mountain.

At this moment, the Water Lake Mouse was performing spirit rain before a medicinal field, nurturing the spirit medicine, which grew even greener under the drizzle of spirit rain.

"Ever since the Water Lake Mouse advanced to First Rank Upper Grade, its divine techniques have indeed improved considerably!" Observing its earnest demeanor, Xu Ping couldn't help but stroke his chin.

Over the past two years of cultivation, the Water Lake Mouse had already surpassed First Rank Upper Grade, and now it was close to reaching the peak of First Rank Upper Grade.

It must be said, with abundant resources, the training talent displayed by this mutated Water Lake Mouse is indeed terrifying!

Not much different from demon beasts with special bloodlines.

"With another year or two of nurture, it should reach the pinnacle of First Rank, then we must prepare for its breakthrough to Second-stage."

"If it were an ordinary demon beast, preparing a demon core would suffice."

"But it might not be enough for it; it's best to prepare two, one with a water attribute demon core, one with a fire attribute demon core, along with several auxiliary spiritual materials and pills for assurance."

While Xu Ping contemplated privately, planning how the Water Lake Mouse would break through to Second-stage Demon Beast.

"Hmm?"

He suddenly, his expression shifted slightly.

In the next moment.

He ascended into the air using escape light above Thousand Leaves Mountain.

Not far away, under the blue sky, several streams of light were intensely pursuing each other at high speed, evidently Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in combat!

Among them, a pink and a yellow light fled ahead while numerous streaks of purple light chased them, heading towards Thousand Leaves Mountain!
