Chapter 1721: There Really Is a Secret Room

Mengyu took out a Foundation Establishment Pill: "This is a Foundation Establishment Pill. Do you want to find a place to establish your foundation before leaving?"

Qing Wen was puzzled: "Master, I’m only at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, it’s still early for Foundation Establishment."

Mengyu smiled: "Your Divine Sense has already reached the Foundation Establishment Peak, plus you’ve been reborn with the experiences of two lifetimes. Directly establishing your foundation won’t cause instability in your mind. If you want to establish your foundation, just take Spiritual Liquid within the Spirit Gathering Array and you can do it."

"Of course, establishing your foundation too early also has its downsides. For example, after Foundation Establishment, the growth rate of your body will slow down. You’re only eight years old now, and because of the hardships you endured in your early years, your life expectancy is only a hundred years, but after Foundation Establishment, it will increase to two hundred.

Normally, people reach adulthood at sixteen. However, if you establish your foundation, your body won’t reach adulthood until thirty-two.

So, your growth rate will be half that of others after Foundation Establishment. Are you willing to accept that?"

Qing Wen frowned, unable to decide for a moment.

After all, due to previously being starved and mistreated, his height was affected. Although he has caught up in the past two years, he is only at a normal height.

"Are there benefits to early Foundation Establishment, Master?"

Mengyu chuckled: "Of course, there are benefits to early Foundation Establishment. After establishing your foundation, you can learn spells and fly with a magic weapon. You can quickly form a core, and after forming a core, you’ll have over 500 years of life expectancy. You can also quickly form your Nascent Soul, which grants over three thousand years of life expectancy.

Many cultivators are unable to establish their foundation before their life expectancy runs out, unable to enter the Immortal Sect. Generally speaking, in the early stages of Immortal Cultivation, one wants to advance quickly, then in the middle stages, they slowly reflect, accumulating various experiences. They stabilize their mind to deal with Heart Demons during tribulations.

So, how to decide is entirely up to you."

Qing Wen pondered for a moment, then said: "Master, I want to wait until at least fourteen before I establish my foundation. I want to rely on my own cultivation and establish my foundation naturally when the time is right."

They’re all cultivating in the mundane world. If he establishes his foundation now, his body’s slow growth would make him too noticeable among people. He doesn’t want to become the focus of attention.

Another reason is that he’s confident; Foundation Establishment and Core Formation shouldn’t be difficult for him, so there’s no need to rush.

Mengyu was very pleased: "Good. Because you’re simultaneously cultivating ancient martial arts, with your current growth rate, your height should reach 1.8 meters by the age of fourteen. By then, your bones will have matured, and you won’t have the problem of looking like a ten-year-old at twenty. Master supports your decision.

Since you’re not in a hurry to establish your foundation, I’ll teach you Five Elements Magic when we leave. You also need to consider which skill among the Cultivation Hundred Skills you plan to learn. Would you like to study Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Arrays, or Talisman Making? Consider it for yourself."

Qing Wen’s eyes lit up: "Master, can I learn any of them?"

Mengyu nodded: "Alchemy, Talisman Making, and Arrays, I can teach you. Artifact Refining, your grandmaster can teach you."

Due to the karmic ties of two lifetimes, and because the child helped her escape in a past life, sacrificing his own life, Mengyu treats Qing Wen the best among all the disciples, almost raising him as her own son.

Qing Wen thought for a moment and said: "I want to learn Talisman Making."

"Alright, after we leave, I’ll teach you Talisman Making."

As they talked, they searched the entire courtyard of the Patriarch.

Qing Wen thought of how the Qin Family’s direct descendant was now only him (as Luo Xinseng no longer acknowledges his roots), so he took anything he fancied from the Patriarch’s room.

However, the real treasures of the Patriarch were probably stored in his storage ring, taken by the enemies who killed him. Thus, the room only held some mundane items.

Suddenly, Mengyu sensed something unusual with her Divine Sense, and upon further investigation, she indeed found her Divine Sense being gently repelled.
