The Mountain Sutra is the most top-tier cultivation technique, even more powerful than the Sect-protecting Cultivation Technique, the Mystic True Scripture of the Primordial Dao, of the Dan Ling Sect.


    Once one''s cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, they could have a lifespan of four hundred years, which is two hundred years more than that granted by ordinary cultivation techniques.


    The cultivators who practiced the Mountain Sutra had no bottlenecks in Foundation Establishment or Core Formation, because only those cultivators with Earth Attribute Spiritual Roots or cultivators who had condensed an Earth Spirit Body could cultivate this scripture.


    If the conditions for cultivating the Mountain Sutra weren''t so stringent and difficult, and if it weren''t for the fact that it was not a secret in ces such as the Great Qian Empire where cultivation thrived, the Colorful Fairy would not have easily passed this scripture on to Zhao Yu.


    "My lord husband, Uncle Cui Qing and Tong Shouren request an audience. Would you like to see them?"


    Zhao Yu came out of the Alchemy Room, dressed in white pce attire, with light makeup applied. The radiantly iparable Shangguan Lingxiu approached him with a trace of fragrance and asked.


    Zhao Yu said, "Ask them toe to see me!"


    Shangguan Lingxiu nodded slightly and gave the order.


    Soon after, Cui Qing and Tong Shouren arrived in the living room, followed by one tall and coldly elegant beauty, and another pure and demure beauty with shoulder-length ck hair. Both women were uniquely charming, by no means inferior to Tuoba Xue.


    Zhao Yu also entered the living room with Shangguan Lingxiu. Discover stories with empire


    Tong Shouren took a nce at Shangguan Lingxiu and praised inwardly, "That is Shangguan Lingxiu. No wonder Brother Xiahou said she is the number one beauty of the younger generation in the Dan Ling Sect. Seeing her today, her reputation is indeed well deserved!"


    Tuoba Xue and Wei Xin served Spiritual Tea to everyone and stood beside Zhao Yu.


    Zhao Yu said, "Friends, may I know the reason for your visit this time?"


    Cui Qing smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, this girl is my direct descendant, Cui Lihua, who is quite intelligent. Brother''s help was a great kindness which I will never forget! I am here to offer her as a servant girl to Brother, and I hope you will ept her with a smile!"


    Cui Qing originally wanted to form a marriage alliance with Zhao Yu to deepen the rtionship between them. But seeing Shangguan Lingxiu sitting beside Zhao Yu, he had to abandon that idea.


    Shangguan Lingxiu, as an Inner Sect Disciple of the Dan Ling Sect, had a prestigious status and was incredibly beautiful. Even so, under the orders of the Peony Fairy, she had to offer herself to Zhao Yu.


    Although Cui Lihua was beautiful and wise, she was far fromparing to Shangguan Lingxiu. Cui Qing thus abandoned the idea, to avoid bringing humiliation upon himself.


    Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said, "You are considerate, Junior Brother!"


    After the recent beast tide, the poption of Little Dan Ridge had exploded, and Zhao Yu also needed to cultivate his own people to gain control of Little Dan Ridge.


    Tong Shouren said, "Friend Zhao, this girl is my direct descendant, Tong Zilin, skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I am here to offer her as a token of my gratitude. Please ept her with a smile!"


    Zhao Yu smiled and said, "My residence is indeed short of hands! Let her stay!"


    The three talked of the mysteries of cultivation and discussed the various challenges encountered in their practice.


    Zhao Yu was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his conversations always inspired the other two. Although Cui Qing and Tong Shouren were not as advanced in cultivation as Zhao Yu, they had broad knowledge and knew many secrets.


    Tuoba Xue, watching Cui Lihua and Tong Zilin, mused, "Another two have arrived, and neither is inferior to me in appearance and poise! And with the backing of two Foundation Establishment cultivators,petition within the household will grow even more fierce!"


    Dayster, Zhao Yu quietly left Little Dan Ridge and entered the Canglong Mountain Range. Based on the memories of those Second-Order Demon Beasts, he searched for various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.


    Using the memories of those Second-Order Demon Beasts, Zhao Yu moved along a safe route and found quite a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.


    Three monthster, in the Alchemy Room of Little Dan Ridge.


    "These Second-Order Demon Beasts'' memories are treasures in themselves! With this, I''ve finally gathered enough ingredients for four furnaces of Second-Order Life-Extending Pills!"


    Zhao Yuid out one jade box after another, his lips curling into a slight smile, a trace of amusement in his expression.


    The materials needed for the Second-Order Life-Extending Pill were extremely rare, and the four great sects had long sought to purchase some of its primary ingredients. Zhao Yu had exhausted all his ingenuity but still could not gather enough for one batch.


    However, through the memories of those Second-Order Demon Beasts, Zhao Yu finally found enough materials within Canglong Mountain to refine four batches of Second-Order Life-Extending Pills.


    Zhao Yu opened a Pill Furnace of top-grade magical artifact level, stimted the Foundation Establishment spiritual mes, then added the ingredients one by one, before he proceeded with the Alchemy.


    Seven dayster, Zhao Yu had used the materials of two batches of Second-Order Life-Extending Pills to raise his refinement proficiency to the level of a grandmaster.


    "Alchemy Cultivation Level: Third Order Low-grade (50/100)."


    "Alchemy——Second-Order Life Extension Pill: Grandmaster."


    A glint of zing fervor swept through Zhao Yu''s eyes, "Atst, I can refine Superior Grade Second-Order Life-Extended Pills!"


    A First-Order Life Extension Pill had increased Zhao Yu''s lifespan by fifty-five years, and he was highly anticipatory of how many years the Second-Order Life Extension Pill could add to his lifespan.


    Three dayster, Zhao Yu sessfully refined two batches of Second-Order Life-Extending Pills, obtaining a total of twenty-four Superior Grade Second-Order Life-Extending Pills.


    Zhao Yu took out one Second-Order Superior Grade Life Extension Pill and swallowed it, stimting the Dao Fruit of Devouring to refine it.


    "Zhao Yu."


    "Lifespan 50/273."


    "A single Superior Grade Life Extension Pill only adds twenty years to one''s lifespan. It''s exceedingly difficult for cultivators to increase their lifespan!"


    Zhao Yu felt a slight sense of sentiment, continued to take the pills, and stimted the Dao Fruit of Devouring to refine them.


    After ten days, Zhao Yu had refined all twenty Superior Grade Second-Order Life-Extending Pills, and his lifespan had surged by two hundred and ten years.


    "Zhao Yu."


    "Lifespan 50/463."


    A small smile yed upon Zhao Yu''s lips, revealing a hint of mirth, "With an additional two hundred and ten years, I now have over four hundred years to live, the feeling of getting younger as I live is truly fantastic!"


    Zhao Yu stepped out from the Alchemy Room and entered the study, where he saw Tuoba Xue sitting behind a desk attentively managing various affairs.


    As soon as Tuoba Snow saw Zhao Yu, she stood up on her own, brought a fragrance of wind to his presence, curtseyed, and said with a sweet smile, "Greetings, Master!"N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Looking at Tuoba Xue''s sweet smile, a ripple went through Zhao Yu''s heart, and he reached out to hold her snow-white hand.


    "Master!"


    A blush suddenly painted Tuoba Xue''s pretty face, her eyes instantly grew moist, and she didn''t resist.


    Zhao Yu smiled slightly, pulled Tuoba Xue into his arms, lifted her up, and took her to the bedroom, a surge in life deserved a celebration!


    The next day, Zhao Yu elevated Tuoba Xue''s status as she became the chief of the female servants, ranking just below Shangguan Lingxiu in the household, and he bestowed upon her many Superior Grade Spirit Pills.


    Three monthster, an Escape Light flew from the distance, arriving at the edge of the Spirit Wood Grand Formation of Little Danling, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man in schr''s attire, broad-shouldered and handsome, with a Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment cultivation, standing upon a cloud.


    The cultivator called out, "I am Qiu Zhenning, here to pay a visit to the master of Little Danling!"


    "A distinguished guest graces us with their presence, pleasee in!"


    Streams of mist meandered in the sky, transforming into a path that guided Qiu Zhenning to Zhao Yu''s cave mansion.
