True Yang Technique, Altar

Outside Green Wave Cave, Yu Kun stared at Li Yunfan in shock, utterly bewildered.

"Junior brother...you've successfully established your foundation?"

Li Yunfan smiled and nodded: "I was lucky to break through!"

Yu Kun took a deep breath to calm his shock, but a hint of amazement still lingered in his eyes.

"It's only been half a month since my junior brother last came here, and he's already successfully established his foundation! His Fire Spirit Body is truly terrifying!"

He then led Li Yunfan into the cave, saying with a smile, "If Master sees that you have successfully established your foundation, he will surely be very surprised..."

"Disciple Li Yunfan greets Master!"

Inside the cave, Li Huayuan looked at Li Yunfan, who stood respectfully before him, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hahaha! Good! I didn't expect you to achieve Foundation Establishment earlier than I anticipated. It seems the Foundation Establishment Pill I asked for you hasn't been of any use!"

Li Yunfan cupped his hands and said with heartfelt respect, "Although I was fortunate enough to succeed in my breakthrough on the first try, I will never forget Master's kindness to me!"

"Now that you've joined my sect, this little matter is nothing to mention!" Li Huayuan waved his hand with a smile.

After saying that, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at Li Yunfan with a solemn expression and spoke again.

"When I took you as my disciple, I said that once you broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I would pass on the True Yang Technique to you and make you my personal disciple. Now it's time to fulfill that promise, and I presume that's why you've come!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan did not refuse or show any affectation; instead, he remained calmly standing in place.

Seeing this, Li Huayuan couldn't help but nod inwardly, and a smile reappeared on his lips.

"Composed and unassuming, with a steady temperament, and possessing a fire spirit physique, this disciple is indeed a good choice!"

After thinking it over, Li Huayuan immediately stood up and said, "I currently have seven disciples, all of whom are at the Foundation Establishment stage. Although you will be my personal disciple in the future, you will still be ranked eighth. You must not distance yourself from your other senior brothers and sisters because of your personal disciple status."

"Yes! Your disciple obeys!" Li Yunfan said respectfully, cupping his hands in greeting.

Li Huayuan gave a soft hum and nodded: "The True Yang Technique that I cultivate is a top-tier Yang-attribute technique. Not only is it powerful, but it also allows for rapid advancement in magical power. Although it is not a pure fire attribute, it is still a branch of it. It has a very strong ability to restrain evil spirits. If you cultivate with a fire spirit body, you might even reap some unexpected benefits..."

After Li Huayuan finished speaking, he took out a milky white jade slip and threw it to Li Yunfan.

"This contains the cultivation method of the True Yang Technique, but only the first six levels. Once you have completed all of them, your cultivation will reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment. At that time, I will teach you the subsequent cultivation methods."

Li Yunfan took the jade slip but did not examine it immediately. Instead, he put it into his storage bag.

"Go back and cultivate on your own first. If you have any questions, come to my cave again," Li Huayuan said softly.

"Yes, Master!"

After leaving Green Wave Cave, Li Yunfan did not return to Xuankun Mountain Cave. Instead, after returning to Yellow Maple Valley, he went to a place called "Qilin Pavilion".

Qilin Pavilion is a place in Huangfeng Valley specifically for raising and taming spirit beasts.

One of the mythical beasts is called the "Double-Eyed Rat," which has divine eyes and is the best helper in finding the location of caves.

Li Yunfan came here to rent such a spirit beast so that he could use it to find a suitable spiritual site to build his cave.

About an incense stick's time later, Li Yunfan left the Qilin Pavilion, carrying a fist-sized spirit beast in his arms.

Standing on the flying leaf shuttle, Li Yunfan stroked the soft fur of the Twin-Eyed Rat, and the idea of ​​taming a spirit beast of his own became even more profound in his heart.

After flying for more than a day carrying the Twin-Eyed Mouse, they finally stopped somewhere in the northeast of the Taiyue Mountains.

In fact, he initially planned to go to the northwest to build a cave dwelling, since there was a spiritual spring there. However, after thinking it over, he gave up the idea.

Although Han Li had not yet established his foundation at this time, it wouldn't matter much if he occupied this place. However, this would make his cultivation more difficult in the future.

He didn't want his momentary greed to slow down Han Li's cultivation progress and thus affect his original timeline.

In any case, his Fire Spirit Body is already no weaker than that of a Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator in terms of cultivation, so there's no need to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a small gain.

Choosing this location was a decision he made after careful consideration.

Firstly, this place is relatively close to the Huangfeng Valley market, making it convenient to purchase cultivation pills and some spiritual items in the future.

Secondly, it is because Master Li Huayuan's cave is also nearby, so if something happens in the future, or if a powerful enemy attacks, they can go there to take shelter in time.

As for the third point, it's actually quite simple: unlike Han Li who possesses a heaven-defying treasure like the Little Green Bottle, he doesn't need to search for any open or secluded place.

After landing, Li Yunfan took out a thin rope and put it around the neck of the Twin-Eyed Rat to prevent himself from losing it.

Then she took out a small white cloth bag from her bosom. It was given to her by the female disciple in charge of receiving guests at the Qilin Pavilion. Inside were some earth pears, which were the favorite of the Twin-Eyed Rat.

He took out a few pellets and fed them to the two-eyed rat. In no time, the rat had devoured them all. Its two little eyes lit up with excitement. It let out two soft "hissing" sounds, jumped off Li Yunfan's arms, and burrowed into the grass nearby.

Li Yunfan smiled slightly, following the rope in his hand, and continued forward with the Twin-Eyed Rat...

Three days later, Li Yunfan stood in a natural stone cave several meters in size, looking at the scene before him with astonishment on his face.

In the center of the cave, there was an ancient altar, about five or six inches high. On the altar, a dark red skeleton, wearing a tattered blue robe, sat cross-legged and floated quietly three feet off the ground.

On one side of the altar, the Twin-Eyed Rat was lying on a pile of gray stones that emitted a hazy spiritual light, looking completely content.

Li Yunfan never imagined that such a thing was hidden deep within the Taiyue Mountains.

However, he did not immediately go forward to check, for who knows if there might be any danger inside?

He frowned slightly and looked around. The cave seemed to have no entrance or exit. If he hadn't followed the Twin-Eyed Rat in from one side, he wouldn't have found this place at all.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly released his divine sense to carefully examine the altar and skeleton before him.

"what?"

A look of surprise flashed in Li Yunfan's eyes. Under his divine sense, he found nothing in front of him, but he could clearly see the altar and the skeleton with his eyes.

With a slight narrowing of his eyes and after much deliberation, he suddenly took a step and walked towards the altar.

He walked slowly, not fast at all, but with his mind focused, and his right hand was on the storage bag at his waist.

As he approached the altar, he grew increasingly cautious. However, until he reached the altar, nothing unexpected happened, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the altar so close to him, Li Yunfan began to examine it closely.

"Could this be... an array?" Li Yunfan frowned as he looked at the various complex spiritual patterns engraved on the altar.

He only has a superficial understanding of formations and has never studied them in depth; what he knows now is merely speculation.
