Chapter 143 Arrival

"Zifang, this is your twenty-third uncle, and also your only uncle who has reached the Foundation Establishment Realm."

On Wuliang Mountain, Xu Yuanmiao returned to the mountain with his four- or five-year-old son. The clever and adorable Dianzi Fang instantly attracted the affection of many people.

"Hello, Uncle!"

Noriko, mimicking an adult, bowed to Xu Yuanlang with his hands clasped, and then burst into loud laughter.

"Alright, alright, this little guy is really clever. Here, I'll give you this bottle of pills. You'd better start guiding the Qi into your body as soon as possible."

Xu Yuanlang took out a jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Dian Zifang.

"Yuen Long, no need..."

"Seventh Sister, this is nothing to me."

Xu Yuanmiao looked at Xu Yuanlang with a mixture of respect and distance in his eyes.

There's no way around it. It's not just because Xu Yuanmiao has married out of the family and can no longer be considered a member of the Xu family. The more important reason is that Xu Yuanlang is now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, whose status is far higher than that of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators like them.

Xu Yuanlang was very perceptive. He could only sigh, stuff the pill into the little guy's hand, and then leave under the pretext of inspecting the defense line. After he left, everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"After Yuan Lang became a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the pressure he exuded was truly terrifying."

Ninth Brother Xu Yuanlin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but speak up.

"We're just not used to it yet; it should get better after a while."

Sixth Brother Xu Yuanlu spoke, seemingly comforting himself and the others.

"Hmph, it's not a matter of habit. In the end, we're just jealous of Yuan Lang. Although everyone is working hard to cultivate, how many of us truly believe that we can become Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

Everyone probably thinks that only exceptionally talented cultivators like Third Brother and Fourth Brother have a chance, while we have unconsciously sentenced ourselves to death. The only reason we still cultivate so desperately is because we care about what others think.

We were all at the Qi Refining Realm, and we could comfort each other by saying, "Look, no one else is good enough. It's not just my fault." But Yuan Lang's Foundation Establishment left us with no other excuses.

From this perspective, we should hate him more than we are jealous.

You should know that Yuan Lang only has five spiritual roots. His talent is worse than ours, and he is even younger than us. In the past, we could look down on Yuan Lang and give him pointers with a superior attitude.

But in the blink of an eye, Yuan Lang surpassed us. Before, we could justify it by saying that Yuan Lang was lucky, but now that he has become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, our pitiful pride can't take it anymore.

Are you all wondering why he was able to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Do you think you're not bad either, and you probably resent that your family didn't nurture you, thinking that Yuan Lang's ability to reach Foundation Establishment is the result of the family's focused cultivation?

"Wake up! With Yuan Lang's talent, how could the family possibly focus on nurturing him? I heard the clan leader say that after Yuan Lang broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining, he traveled alone from Wuliang Mountain to Nanping Market, thousands of miles away, just for the Qi of the Fu River. The journey was fraught with danger. Who among us would dare to do that?"

The hot-tempered Xu Yuanyan spoke directly, revealing everyone's thoughts without any mercy. Xu Yuanmiao frowned and gently pulled her arm.

"Yuan Miao, stop talking. I think everyone is happy that Yuan Lang was able to achieve Foundation Establishment. It's impossible to say that we are completely jealous."

"Seventh Sister, it's my fault."

A hint of shame flashed across Xu Yuanluo's face. Among those present, he was the most senior and ranked the highest, so he should have stood up, but he hadn't thought of that at all.

"I'm going to find Yuen Long."

Xu Yuanluo hurriedly stood up and chased after Xu Yuanlang.

Xu Yuanlang stood on the mountainside, overlooking the surrounding scenery from afar.

"Yuen Long!"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind him. He turned around and saw that it was his sixth brother.

"Sixth Brother, what brings you here?"

Xu Yuanluo, whose cultivation has now broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, still wears the same honest and simple smile as before.

"Sixth Brother hasn't properly congratulated you on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm yet."

Xu Yuanlang waved his hand helplessly and spoke calmly.

"Hey, Sixth Brother, there's nothing to congratulate you on, don't bother."

"Yuan Lang, we are all very happy that you have broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but we don't know how to congratulate you for the time being."

But no matter what, we are always genuinely happy for you, and that has never changed.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuanlang burst into laughter.

"I've always believed that."

"Haha, that's good...Yuen Long!"

Just as Xu Yuanluo was about to say something, Xu Yuanlang beside him suddenly became serious.

"Sixth Brother, the beast tide is coming!"

Xu Yuanluo quickly turned his head to look outside the mountain, only to see billowing smoke and dust in the distance. He didn't know when, but a dense herd of beasts had already occupied the space outside Wuliang Mountain.

"Quickly inform the tribesmen; I'll go down below to deal with the vanguard of these beasts."

Xu Yuanluo knew the situation was urgent and didn't have time to say anything. He hurriedly turned around and went back up the mountain, while Xu Yuanlang rushed over directly.

"Emerald bamboos—reaching high above the clouds!"

A towering bamboo, hundreds of feet tall, suddenly took root in the earth, penetrating deep into the white clouds, its surface still radiating a faint spiritual light.

During the battle at Nine Star Mountain, Fu Yun's essence was damaged, but it has now been fully restored. At the same time, as he became a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the quality of his natal magic weapon has also increased significantly.

The natal magic weapon and the cultivator's own cultivation are originally one, but unfortunately, the time for his breakthrough was too short. Fuyun Chang has not yet broken through the shackles and entered the second tier. However, even so, Fuyun Chang is not comparable to a first-tier magic weapon.

Thousands of bamboo leaves instantly floated up from the air. With a thought, Xu Yuanlang caused all the bamboo leaves to instantly condense into one place, transforming into dozens of giant yellow pythons.

"go!"

At this moment, numerous giant bamboo pythons twisted violently in mid-air, opening their mouths as if they were alive, and pounced on the monsters near Wuliang Mountain.

"roar!"

Upon seeing the giant pythons, each hundreds of feet long, in the air, the numerous demonic beasts roared with open mouths. Some even fearlessly pounced on them, attempting to bite them.

However, with one bite, it was their large mouths that were injured; many of the monsters' lower jaws were torn open.

"snort!"

Xu Yuanlang snorted coldly, and these giant bamboo pythons instantly dispersed, transforming into countless rapidly spinning bamboo leaves. In an instant, the demonic beasts within hundreds of feet around were cut into countless pieces before they could even let out a wail.

"good!"

The people on Wuliang Mountain watched as Xu Yuanlang displayed his extraordinary prowess, clearing out a space, and couldn't help but cheer.

"Vermilion Bird - A Thousand Trees of Flowers!"

Immediately afterward, Xu Yuanlang looked at the densely packed birds in the sky and instantly used his fire-type magic weapon.
