chapter 260: xueyi foundation building meng zhang had always wanted to take on a part-time role as an assistant, but he lacked any talent in the hundred arts of cultivation. skills such as alchemy, artifact refining, and talisman-making were all difficult for him to master. unexpectedly, due to a twist of fate, he ended up becoming a rare diviner in the cultivation world. the ranking of diviners differed greatly from other professions in the cultivation world. as long as one grasped the basics of the celestial art, regardless of their cultivation base, they could be considered a formal diviner. diviners could be divided into different strengths, and with a willingness to pay a price, even weaker diviners could overcome stronger ones, using their own life or other means. as for what the top-tier diviner, the grandmaster of the celestial art, was like and what abilities they possessed, meng zhang had no way of knowing. after becoming a diviner, he didn't forget to study the various classics he obtained from the liu family and the golden blade sect. especially, he was very interested in the liu family cultivators' method of achieving foundation building without having to consume foundation building pills. however, after reading the liu family's classics, he discovered the limitations and drawbacks of this method, realizing it was not suitable for taiyi sect disciples to practice. nonetheless, the underlying ideas had some valuable insights that could serve as a reference. the golden blade sect classics, on the other hand, were mostly of average quality. after reading them, meng zhang's gains were limited. it was to be expected since the golden blade sect, despite its hundreds of years of inheritance, did not have much depth and accumulation in their classics. if it weren't for the presence of an expert like ruan dadao, the sect wouldn't be considered particularly strong. with each passing day in the taiyi sect, meng zhang's life became more regular. he would rise early in the morning to absorb the essence of the rising sun, spend an hour reading the scriptures, and then handle sect affairs. at noon, he would absorb the intense sun's essence to refine his solar true qi. in the afternoon, he would study the celestial art and various cultivation classics. in the evening, he practiced spells and sword techniques. at night, he absorbed lunar true qi and refined it. before dawn, when the yin energy had not dissipated and the yang energy was just beginning to rise, he would merge the lunar true qi and solar true qi, refining them into sun and moon true qi. this cycle repeated endlessly. unknowingly, meng zhang's cultivation base broke through the early stage of foundation building and entered the mid-stage. excluding the now-defunct twin success valley and guang zhidaoist master, the late-stage foundation building cultivator liu dajin was flawed and no longer mentioned. apart from those, meng zhang's mid-stage foundation building cultivation base was already among the top in the nearby regions.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter. challenging higher-level cultivators after entering the foundation building stage became much more difficult. even elite disciples of major sects would find it challenging to defeat mid-stage foundation building cultivators from smaller sects. meng zhang himself had extraordinary talent and received the inheritance of the taiyi sect during its peak. however, during the early stage of foundation building, he could barely protect himself against mid-stage foundation building cultivators in the vicinity. challenging higher-level cultivators and winning against them was an impossible task. unless they were cultivators who focused solely on skills like alchemy and artifact refining, with almost no combat abilities and rarely engaging in fights, there might be a chance for them to succeed in challenging higher-level cultivators. for deep earthspirit general to completely absorb this mountain-suppressing stone, it would take about a decade. however, once the absorption was complete, its cultivation base would at least be restored to the late stage of foundation building. moreover, as it gradually refined the stone, its cultivation base would also gradually recover. after over a year of seclusion, yang xueyi, who was attempting to break through to the foundation building stage, finally succeeded in coming out of seclusion. now, apart from meng zhang and deep earthspirit general, taiyi sect finally had a third cultivator at the foundation building stage. deep earthspirit general was actually a senior member of taiyi sect, while yang xueyi was the first true new-generation cultivator cultivated by meng zhang after he became sect master. yang xueyi truly lived up to her words by successfully reaching foundation building without relying on foundation building pills. given her spiritual root talent and determination, this outcome was not surprising. the foundation building pill that yang xueyi saved was originally intended to be returned to meng zhang, but he declined to accept it. even though yang xueyi no longer needed the foundation building pill, it could be given to a promising disciple in the future. since yang xueyi didn't use foundation building pills to aid her cultivation, she didn't need to spend time expelling pill toxins. the process of consolidating her cultivation base became much simpler. originally, meng zhang planned to hold a foundation building dharma meeting to celebrate yang xueyi's success in foundation building and invite cultivators from nearby sects to attend. however, yang xueyi, who usually preferred a low-profile and quiet life, politely declined meng zhang's proposal. upon second thought, meng zhang realized that with the presence of forest spring watch, adding one more foundation building cultivator to taiyi sect was not a big deal, and there was no need to make a grand spectacle with a foundation building dharma meeting.
