I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

It was on the early morning of the third day that he headed out.

Because Shen Xinyue’s group had returned!

The news naturally came from Fairy Lianyu.

Worried about his safety, Shen Xinyue, upon returning to Shuiyun Pavilion, sent Fairy Lianyu to confirm whether he had returned to the Little Peak Mountain Spirit Land.

Coincidentally, he also had some questions and wanted to consult Sister Shen, so he made a trip to the marketplace.

Half an hour later.

The marketplace gate was visible in the distance.

Only then did Zhou Changwang slow down and step into it.

And then, after one incense stick of time, he saw Shen Xinyue.

"Sister Shen!"

Zhou Changwang cupped his hands and said.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, seeing you return safely, I’m relieved.

Back then, when Lai Yongsheng tracked you and I couldn’t catch up... I didn’t know what to do..."

Shen Xinyue showed a joyful expression when she saw Zhou Changwang.

Since their last farewell, she had been so worried she couldn’t eat or sleep well.

After all, being hunted by a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator was terrifying.

Very few could escape from such a pursuit.

Seeing Zhou Changwang unharmed now, naturally, she was delighted and excited.

"It was just luck.

When I was chased, I fled desperately.

I ran to the territory where we encountered the Black-striped White Tiger before.

With the help of that tiger, I managed to escape his pursuit..."

Zhou Changwang revealed a slight expression of lingering fear at the right time and spoke.

Of course, he wouldn’t reveal too much.

As for others knowing Lai Yongsheng has fallen and suspecting later?

Let them suspect; as long as he didn’t admit it, Shen Xinyue wouldn’t truly pursue it further, nor would she spread it around.

Thus, he wasn’t worried.

"When did you return after that?"

Shen Xinyue quickly asked.

"After escaping, I intended to come back to find you, but when I returned, you all were already gone, so I wandered around by myself for a while and returned before the second wave of poisonous mist descended.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and I didn’t suffer any loss."

Zhou Changwang explained briefly.

"After tracking for a while, I lost the trail, and then I regrouped with others. After several twists and turns, I finally returned safely yesterday.

However, fortunately, our harvest this time wasn’t small.

We collected a total of seven Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.

Everyone felt your contribution and effort were significant this time, so we unanimously decided to give one of the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects to you.

Later, you can pick one and cultivate it yourself."

As Shen Xinyue spoke, with a wave of her hand, a row of wooden boxes appeared on the table.

Each wooden box contained a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object for Zhou Changwang to choose from.

"This... isn’t necessary."

Zhou Changwang hesitated slightly and said.

"You should take it.

It’s well-deserved for you."

Shen Xinyue said, seeing Zhou Changwang still hesitating, she directly handed over the Nourishing Spirit Flower with the longest cultivation period, a full 210 years.

While handing it over, she mentioned, "Also, here are the Demon Pills I promised you earlier. They’re all yours."

Then, she handed over a black bag.

Inside this black bag were the Demon Pills.

Although not many, totaling only forty to fifty pieces of various grades, their combined value was more than twenty to thirty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Thank you, Sister Shen."

Seeing this, Zhou Changwang finally stopped refusing.

He couldn’t refuse even if he wanted to.

The Nourishing Spirit Flower wasn’t a big deal.

He already had quite a few Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.

But as for Demon Pills, he didn’t mind having more.

"That’s the way."

Shen Xinyue smiled with satisfaction.

In her heart, she was very grateful for Zhou Changwang’s actions back then. Unable to repay him immediately, she could only offer him as much advantage as she could.

Thinking for a moment, she continued seriously, "Additionally, if you plan to undergo Foundation Establishment in the future and lack Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, you can come to me.

I promise you that even if Shuiyun Pavilion doesn’t have any in storage, I will surely find at least one Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object for you.

To help you meet the requirements for exchanging a Foundation Establishment Pill."

As for the Foundation Establishment Pill?

She herself lacked it and didn’t dare to promise that she could find one in a short time, so she naturally didn’t make such a promise lightly.

After all, even for a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill is an extremely difficult task.

"This... thank you, Sister Shen."

Zhou Changwang was truly moved.

He didn’t expect Sister Shen would make such a promise.

Though he didn’t need it, the sincerity of her offer indeed touched him a bit.

However, since the conversation turned to Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, he quickly asked, "By the way, Sister Shen,

I would like to inquire about the matter of exchanging three Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Is this truly effective?

Or is it just a gimmick from the major sects?

Simply rumors to placate some independent cultivators?"

"This is indeed true.

Any cultivator, as long as they gather three Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, can go to any sect to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Although initially, this rule was published as a means for the major sects to appease independent cultivators, giving them some hope and not making them overly hostile to sect disciples.

But over countless years of practice, this rule has deeply rooted in the hearts of all cultivators.

Moreover, the major sects have gained great benefits from it, acquiring many Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects in return, which is not regrettable.

However—"

Shen Xinyue said, her tone pausing slightly.
