The Oldest Disciple: Farming Intimacy to Become Immortal

Chapter 186: Yuan Baobao’s Foundation Establishment

“Headmaster, take all my contribution points, exchange them for Spirit Stones, and have them delivered to Moon Gaze Peak.”

“Alright!”

“Headmaster, let us rest now.”

“Alright… wait, you want to go again?”

Li Meng merely smiled and flicked his sleeve.

The heavy brocade curtains fell once more, blocking out the world.

The two silhouettes behind the veil collapsed onto the wide bed.

With a soft hiss, the lamps in the room extinguished themselves.

That night, the full moon drifted slowly across the distant horizon.

It was not long before the silence of the opulent pavilion was shattered once again.

The next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

The sea of clouds surrounding the peak churned violently.

A brilliant streak of sword light tore through the mist.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished into the distant horizon.

Having returned to Moon Gaze Peak, Li Meng officially entered Secluded Cultivation.

Though it was labeled “Secluded Cultivation,” for someone of his wealth and temperament, it was essentially just his daily routine.

Sealing the mountain simply meant he was no longer accepting alchemy or artifact-refining commissions from outsiders.

Internally, Moon Gaze Peak remained as lively and warm as ever.

Junior Sister Yao had returned to the peak in less than half a month.

As for Junior Sister Zhang, she had never left Moon Gaze Peak since the day she arrived.

During the day, Li Meng patiently guided the two Junior Sisters through their cultivation, showering them with resources.

At night, he shared a steaming medicinal bath with Senior Sister Leng, the intimate skin-to-skin contact serving to treat her frozen meridians.

His days were, to put it mildly, incredibly fulfilling.

On the mountain, cultivation knows no time.

Without anyone noticing, the seasons shifted, and time quietly slipped away.

One year later!

Joyous Union Sect.

Inner Sect territory.

Main Peak.

An anomaly suddenly erupted on a stone platform halfway up the mountain.

A brilliant, three-colored spiritual light shot directly into the sky.

The phenomenon triggered a small-scale Spiritual Tide, a visible wave of dense energy that swept through the surrounding peaks.

This magnificent scene immediately drew the shocked gazes of the Inner and Outer Disciples cultivating in the nearby square.

“A three-colored spiritual light? That’s the breakthrough sign of a three-spiritual-root Outer Disciple!”

“She actually succeeded in Foundation Establishment at such a young age? How is that possible?”

“Everyone has their own Fated Chance. There’s no use being envious!”

On the stone platform, the Spiritual Tide receded, and Yuan Baobao slowly opened her eyes.

A look of pure, unadulterated joy blossomed on her delicate face.

She turned her gaze toward Senior Brother Xuan, who was sitting a short distance away, still trapped in the grueling process of his own breakthrough attempt.

Yuan Baobao’s eyes darted around mischievously.

With a flick of her sleeve, a glowing Pill flew out from the Storage Bag at her waist.

Guided by her Spiritual Power, it shot directly into Xuan Hao’s open mouth.

“Senior Brother Li probably won’t blame me for using his resources to help someone else, right?” she murmured.

Yuan Baobao turned her head, her gaze piercing through the mists toward the distant Moon Gaze Peak.

She missed Senior Brother Li.

Senior Brother Xuan seemed to have discovered her secret connection with Li Meng during their shared cultivation.

After all, there was a distinct difference between standard Yin Qi and her Pure Yin Qi, which had been thoroughly nurtured by Li Meng.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Xuan didn’t know who that mysterious benefactor was.

Yuan Baobao looked back at the meditating Xuan Hao.

A trace of genuine apology flashed in her bright eyes.

She clasped her hands together, muttering a silent confession under her breath.

“Senior Brother Xuan, I’m sorry. I really did think about becoming Dao Companions with you. After all, you’ve always treated me so well, and my aptitude is terrible. If you were willing to accept me, you would have been the best choice. I’m not stupid, why would I refuse? But… Senior Brother Li simply likes me too much. It’s a pure liking, completely unrelated to cultivation. And this Junior Sister likes Senior Brother Li very much, too. Even if he has no hope of ever forming a Golden Core, this Junior Sister is willing to stay by his side for a hundred years. Senior Brother Xuan, your aptitude is excellent. In the future, you will definitely find an even more beautiful Senior Sister. And I… this Junior Sister will do her best to help you find one!”

Saying this out loud absolved her conscience. That should be fine, right?

Yuan Baobao narrowed her eyes, bathing in the warm sunlight as she looked up at the sky.

She had finally achieved Foundation Establishment.

She had finally stepped onto the path of longevity.

Once Senior Brother Xuan successfully broke through, she would immediately go find Senior Brother Li.

When that time came, she would definitely make Senior Brother Li bully her properly.

At the thought of his teasing hands, Yuan Baobao’s cheeks flushed a rosy red.

Feeling suddenly guilty, she glanced around the empty platform.

Her private thoughts couldn’t be heard by others, right?

That… that would be far too embarrassing.

“No, no, focus! Senior Brother Xuan hasn’t achieved Foundation Establishment yet!”

Yuan Baobao slapped her cheeks, suppressing the burning impulse to fly to Moon Gaze Peak immediately.

Her slender, jade-like fingers danced through a series of complex hand seals.

A wave of rich Yin Qi poured out of her body, condensing in the air without dispersing.

She directed the flow toward Xuan Hao, allowing the meditating man to absorb her Yin Qi to strengthen his own breakthrough attempt.

Joyous Union Sect.

Inner Sect territory.

Moon Gaze Peak.

Inside the quiet study of the peak’s highest pavilion.

“Not bad. Junior Sister, your mastery of the Talisman Dao is becoming increasingly refined,” Li Meng praised, his tone warm and encouraging.

He sat side by side with Zhang Tianhua behind a wide wooden desk, their shoulders brushing.

A gleaming, golden Talisman lay on the table in front of them, radiating a subtle aquatic aura.

It was a top-tier Rank 2 Rain Covering Talisman.

After a full year of Li Meng’s guidance, Zhang Tianhua had finally drawn the first top-grade Talisman of her life.

“Junior Sister, how does it feel?” Li Meng asked, his gaze landing on her profile with a teasing, half-smile.

Meeting her Senior Brother’s gaze, Zhang Tianhua closed her eyes, savoring the fleeting, profound artistic conception she had just touched upon.

After a long moment, she slowly opened her eyes.

Her soft, melodic voice echoed in the quiet room.

“Having glimpsed its realm… it makes one yearn for more.”

“Then we should strike while the iron is hot. Do another one!”

Li Meng flicked his sleeve, his movements casual.

A fresh piece of high-grade Talisman Paper floated onto the table in front of her.

Zhang Tianhua held her breath, centering her mind.

She picked up the jade talisman brush once more.

But the moment the tip hovered over the paper, she hesitated.

She froze in the posture of starting a stroke.

Her body seemed to lock up entirely.

Cold sweat instantly beaded on her forehead and seeped down her pale cheeks.

Her normally gentle expression twisted into something slightly fierce as the Spiritual Power inside her rebelled.

“Junior Sister, artistic conception cannot be forced!”

Li Meng’s sharp reprimand cut through the air, instantly shattering Zhang Tianhua’s unstable mental state.

Zhang Tianhua clutched her chest, her face contorting in agony.

“Pfft!”

She opened her mouth and violently spat out a mouthful of crimson essence blood.

Her face deathly pale, she collapsed backward, falling directly into Li Meng’s waiting arms.

Li Meng smoothly caught her, his strong arms wrapping around Junior Sister Zhang’s voluptuous, delicate body.

Without hesitation, he produced a high-tier healing Pill and gently pressed it past her bloodstained lips.

“Senior Brother… I’m sorry. I was too impatient,” Zhang Tianhua whispered, a deep trace of guilt flashing in her dimming eyes.

Her Senior Brother had gone to such great lengths, sparing no expense and holding nothing back to teach her everything he knew.

Yet, she had disappointed him once again.

What innate Dao body? Her so-called heavenly talent couldn’t even compare to a single finger of her Senior Brother.
