“Come in.”

Soon, a cold voice was heard from inside the hall.

Upon hearing the remark, Master Qingy Yue led He Song into the hall.

Inside the hall.

There were various furnishings, not complex, yet profoundly traditional.

With a quick look, He Song realized that it seemed everything in the hall was a part of the hall itself.

Seeing this, he finally understood.

These items were likely inherent to the main precipice of the Thick Earth Sect.

The main peak of Thick Earth Sect was actually a high-quality artifact named the Mountain Seal.

The mountain under their feet was the real body of this spirit artifact.

The palaces on it were naturally transformed by the spirit artifact.

The items in the hall were naturally part of the spirit artifact.

It seems that when the Ancestor Yuanying of the Thick Earth Sect originally refined the Mountain Seal, there was an idea of using this top-quality artifact as a main peak, which included the architectural style of thousands of years ago, branded in the hall of the Mountain Seal.

That's why the objects in the hall looked so antique.

Having scanned with his eyes and kept his emotions in check, He Song followed closely behind Master Qingy Yue and went forward.

Soon, a silhouette appeared in front of them.

Before He Song could salute and greet him…

The figure nodded slightly and then spoke.

“Well done, well done, you three have supported each other from the very beginning and all have achieved    now. This is indeed a great story for the Thick Earth Sect.”

“Back in the day… ah…”

“Well, since you have established your foundation, you are now an elder of the Thick Earth Sect.”

“All your rewards have been transferred to the sect's treasury. After you communicate with the treasury, you will receive them.”

“Go back, cultivate well, and don't tarnish the name of our Thick Earth Sect.” Seeing He Song, Master Fa Xuan's eyes seemed to have a flicker of light.

He first praised He Song and his companions for their mutual support, calling it a great story.

But, immediately after the praising, he sighed.

Later, as if he had lost interest in speaking, he motioned for them to leave.

Seeing this…

He Song and Master Qingy Yue could only leave the palace bewildered.

Even so…

After leaving the palace, both shared a look of surprise.

He Song was confused. The first sentence was praising, then sighing in the next, and the third sentence was basically driving them away.

What had happened?

Master Qingy Yue was also puzzled.

When she brought Meng Guan to meet the Sect Leader, he did not have such an attitude.

Could it be…

Looking back at the huge palace, Master Qingy Yue somehow remembered a rumor within the Thick Earth Sect.

It was said that Master Fa Xuan and Master Yan Shan have been close friends since childhood.

However, after a few incidents, their relationship suddenly changed.

With a thoughtful look, Master Qingy Yue chose not to tell He Song about it, deciding to talk about it later on.

At the moment, they were still on the main peak of the Thick Earth Sect.

If she voiced out her guesses now, it might upset Master Fa Xuan.

Therefore…

Fifteen minutes after climbing up the mountain, they came back down.

At Master Qingy Yue's invitation, He Song didn't rush to get the rewards mentioned by Master Fa Xuan but rather visited her cave mansion.

In the cave mansion of Master Qingy Yue…

He Song and Master Qingy Yue sat facing each other.

At their side, Ping'er was looking at He Song with a complex expression, her eyes flowing with thoughts.

Just then…

When Master Qingy Yue informed her to come to the cave mansion quickly, she was ecstatic.

Assuming that Master Qingy Yue had returned to visit her, to encourage her for her imminent Foundation Establishment.

But she didn't expect…

When she arrived in Master Qingy Yue's cave mansion, she saw a familiar figure.

But before she could greet He Song…

Master Qingy Yue already spoke, asking her to greet her junior uncle.

Junior uncle?

Where did this junior uncle come from?

Confused, Ping'er looked at He Song.

Yet, she saw He Song constantly waving his hand at Master Qingy Yue, indicating her it's unnecessary to be so formal.

Only after listening to the conversation between He Song and Master Qingy Yue did she realize that he had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment.

At that moment, He Song had become a Foundation Establishment Master.

And that…

Was the main reason Master Qingy Yue asked her to call He Song her junior uncle.

For a moment, Ping'er was taken aback.

Foundation establishment.

He Song had established his foundation!

The He Song whom she met in the Spirit Skill Pavilion of Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

The one who started as a loose cultivator and then gradually became a disciple of the Thick Earth Sect…

Had actually achieved Foundation Establishment!

Even now…

He Song and Master Qingy Yue had already been sipping tea for a while, and she still couldn't get back to her senses.

As for He Song and Master Qingy Yue, they didn't bother her at that moment. Instead, they started talking about a secret rumor in the Thick Earth Sect.

“Do you have any idea why the Sect Leader's attitude has changed so dramatically?”

To keep He Song from being confused for too long, Master Qingy Yue opted to share her suspicions with him after some careful thought.

If she let He Song guess for himself, he might be utterly perplexed by the Sect

Leader's attitude.

Instead of leaving He Song in confusion.

It would be better for her to tell him about the secret.

In this way, He Song wouldn't overthink things, and his feeling of belonging, as well as his future cultivation in the Thick Earth Sect, would be stronger.

“This… I really don't know. I appreciate your guidance.”

Shifting his gaze from Ping'er, who still looked dazed, He Song responded with a frown.

He had no clue about the drastic changes in Master Fa Xuan's attitude.

But he didn't care much either.

When returning to the sect, all he wanted was to obtain as many Foundation Establishment skill methods as possible from the Thick Earth Sect. If possible, he even wanted to try the “Golden Elixir Skill Means”.

Not for any other reason.

It was simply because He Song felt it necessary to have a backup plan.

Like before, when the Thick Earth Sect suddenly waged war against the Seven Star Sect, he had no choice but to flee, setting up his own cave mansion.

If the Golden Elixir Master hadn't considerably advanced the war, He Song probably would have already been under another sect's influence, preparing to join a new one.

Therefore, he intended not to miss out on the Foundation Establishment and even the “Golden Elixir Skill Means” in the future, so as to avoid such an awkward situation.

As long as he could learn.

Learn first, and then see how things go.

Whether or not these things would become useful, he could always decide later.

After all, once the knowledge was imprinted in his mind.

He could always recall it when needed.

In this way, even if he was forced to leave the Thick Earth Sect in the future, he wouldn't end up like previously, without any Realm

cultivation skills at least.

Meanwhile, Master Qingy Yue had no idea what He Song was thinking of.

She assumed that He Song was still pondering over the attitude issue of Master Fa Xuan, so she quickly started explaining.

“It's been said that Master Fa Xuan and Master Yan Shan were once very close, but for reasons unknown, their interactions dwindled over time.”

“Probably, the camaraderie between the three of you reminded him of something, causing such a dramatic shift in his attitude.”

“And, the two Foundation Establishment Elixirs that he intentionally gifted you may be a reflection of his nostalgia for past camaraderie.”

“His sudden change of attitude this time could simply be due to some past memories invoked upon seeing you.”

“Rest assured, it isn't specifically against you.”

“Perhaps, when you go to collect your rewards from the sect's treasure house, there might be a pleasant surprise waiting for you too.”

Master Qingy Yue shared, as if spilling beans from a bamboo tube, everything she knew with He Song to help him understand the situation.

Upon hearing the secrets revealed by Master Qingy Yue, He Song suddenly had a realization.

That's how it was.

This explained everything.

Master Fa Xuan and Master Yan Shan had a great relationship.

However, whether before or after reaching the Elixir Establishment, there was definitely a problem between them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have created two factions and started battling, both openly and behind the scenes.

But perhaps, the appearance of He Song and the other two.

Or some other reasons.

Had gradually improved the relationship between Master Fa Xuan and Master

Yan Shan.

That's why the two factions stopped confronting each other recently. Master Fa Xuan and Master Yan Shan joined forces to injure Master Tian Shu of the Seven Star Sect, seizing a place from the Seven Star Sect.

Furthermore, Master Fa Xuan had specially gifted He Song with two Foundation Establishment Elixirs and gifted Wei Fan one Foundation Establishment Elixir too.

Such actions were probably due to their friendship, which had deeply moved him, and hence he bestowed the Elixirs.

Otherwise, why hadn't he ever gifted any Foundation Establishment Elixirs to regular outer disciples?

Because Master Fa Xuan and Master Yan Shan had been very close before. And seeing He Song and his friends support each other right from the start,

Made him generously show kindness due to the proverb, 'Love the house as well as the crow.'

In this way, everything made sense.

“So, that's how it is. I never knew such secrets were involved.”

“Thank you for clearing up my confusion; I'm truly grateful.”

Having understood everything, He Song thanked Master Qingy Yue with a bow and gratitude.

If Master Qingy Yue hadn't spoken up.

He wouldn't have known about the existence of this relationship.

Although he didn't care much about these things, and was more concerned about whether he could reenter the Thick Earth Sect and learn the Foundation Establishment skill methods there.

But now, since Master Qingy Yue had told him, it had dissolved his doubts and made him understand everything.

Therefore, He Song wouldn't be stingv with a word of thanks.

“Don't mention it; this isn't a deep secret. If you were curious, you would definitely have been able to find out.”

“I was just making a casual comment. It's not worth mentioning.” Faced with He Song's gratitude, Master Qingy Yue responded with a smile.

With his confusion cleared, He Song.

After casually chatting with Master Qingy Yue for a while, He Song no longer wished to stay longer.

After drinking some more tea.

He Song excused himself, saying he had some other matters to attend to.

Master Qingy Yue didn't detain him much; instead, she advised him to set up his cave mansion as soon as possible.

He Song promised to do so.

After bidding farewell to Master Qingy Yue and Ping'er, he quickly left her cave mansion.

Heading directly towards the main peak of the Thick Earth Sect.

There.

A generous reward awaited his collection..
