yi.""My lord, until the very last moment we cannot give up.""The ripples have gone that way, I guess even a flower sedan can't go up, what can we do""My lord, I have a way."Mrs. Hou gritted her teeth,..."This is a necessary task, just like the world where we first met. This world is also my task world, but it's suitable for cultivation, so I specially awakened you here so that you can cultivate for a while."

Thank you, master.

Since the last time he was separated from his owner, the whirlwind had vaguely sensed something different, otherwise he wouldn't have been so down for so long.

"Master, I don't like the name Black Whirlwind!"

Since the whirlwind can now transmit sound, it is natural to raise a protest.

"Oh! If you had told me earlier, we could have changed it. But now it's too late. You've already made a contract with my soul using this name, and you entered my space as Black Whirlwind. So your name has been recognized by Heaven. Unless you can cultivate into a Beast God, this name will stay with you forever."

Ripple, while twirling a whirlwind, explained with a grin.

"Okay, Cyclone got it, I'm just going to put my suggestions out there."

The hurricane closed its eyes and accepted the touch of its owner, wagging its tail.

“I'm only at the Qi Refining Stage right now, so I can't break the seal on you temporarily. Just stay in this form for now. Every time I level up, a layer of your seal will automatically loosen until you return to your original three-tiered state. However, your future cultivation depends on you. Don't slack off!”

The ripples continued to admonish.

"Master, rest assured, I have already awakened. I understand everything you said and will definitely seize this opportunity."

The whirlwind immediately assured.

Over the next six months, with the whirlwind's company, Ripple wasn't so bored anymore. She cultivated and learned about cultivating techniques.

Because she didn't have a Fire Spirit Root, alchemy and artifact refinement were no longer within her range of choices. She was quite interested in drawing talismans and setting up formations, after all, they tested stability and patience, so these two things were put on her agenda.

In the tenth month, she cultivated back to the tenth level of Qi Refinement. This time, she didn't rush to build her foundation, but after discussing with Qiao Qianshan, she decided to go for a perfect foundation-building process, which means cultivating to the twelfth level of Qi Refinement before building her foundation. This is a gradual process, requiring her to expand her meridians and dantian in order to accommodate more spiritual energy.

Of course, she also had to re-practice the basic five element magic spells that came with it. Since she didn't have a five element spiritual root, she had to convert the wind spiritual power within her body into the required fire spiritual power, water spiritual power, and so on. Because the original owner was a fake wood spirit root before, she still had a set of methods for transforming spiritual power, so her cultivation went very smoothly.

When it was time for her to establish her foundation, Qiao Qianshan sent Lian Ri to the back mountain forbidden area, the cultivation blessed land of the Qiao family's ancestor, Qiao Wanhai.

Joe Manhai was a middle-aged strong man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a distinctive square face. He was a cultivator who focused on physical training. Initially, because he possessed the three spiritual roots of fire, wood, and earth, and their values were not high, his family did not have high expectations for him. Achieving the Golden Core stage was already considered the peak of his cultivation.

But Qiao Wanhai refused to believe it. He knew his spiritual root value was too low, so his achievements in cultivation were limited. So he found another way and walked the path of physical cultivation. This practice really gave him insights, and he stumbled along the way for a thousand years, becoming a Divine Transformation Venerable.

Even after Qiao Wan ascended to the divine realm, he did not provide much guidance to his younger generations. In his view, the family had already pointed out the direction and paved the way. How they walked it depended on themselves. He always believed that the master leads you to the door, but cultivation is up to the individual.

This idea was also passed down through the Qiao family. After all, he is now the patriarch of the Qiao family, the one with the highest cultivation level. Before another Nascent Soul cultivator appears in the Qiao family, he will not ascend temporarily.

When Qiao Qiushan brought over ripples, the Qiao family's patriarch looked at the tender little girl holding a black kitten in her arms, raised his bushy eyebrows, and gestured for Qiao Zongzhu to explain.

Facing his own ancestors, Qiao Qian Shan did not hide anything. He immediately explained the whole story clearly and was then scolded by his ancestors.

"Qian Shan, making ripples your daughter is a terrible loss. With or without a master, there's no difference. It was right for her to leave your sect on her own accord. I support her. She insists on cultivating a wood-based technique with a mutated wind spirit root Don't expect her to advance!"

"The ancestor was right, it's all Qianshan's fault."

Qiao Qianshan admitted his mistake with a good attitude.

Even Qiao's ancestor didn't bother to pay him any attention, waving him away directly, and then smiled sweetly and asked Lianyi:

"Ripple lass, I see you have overflowing spiritual energy all around you, it's practically bursting forth. But are you going to build your foundation"

"Our ancestors have sharp eyes; Lian Yi is about to build her foundation. Father fears that the commotion of my foundation establishment will be too great, so he wants me to use our ancestor's land to conceal it."

The ripples responded with respectful deference, not a trace of fear.

"It's nothing major, I'll protect you. You should start building your foundation now."

Joe Ancestor was very decisive.

Thank you, ancestors, for protecting the ripples.

Ripple bowed respectfully, then put the whirlwind aside. He sat down cross-legged on the ground, released the pressure on his body, and began to lay the foundation directly.

"Tsk, this girl is also impatient."

Old Master Qiao laughed and then activated the formation, shrouding his cave dwelling in white mist. This prevented anyone from peering inside.

This is not the first time Lian Yi has laid the foundation. She is very skilled at liquefying spiritual energy, and when she built her foundation, she used a massive amount of spiritual energy to wash her tendons and cut her marrow, and also expanded the meridians throughout her body.

Then, the foundation-building technique is started, circulating the great cycle of heaven and earth, filling the dantian. Then, it is repeatedly compressed until the spiritual energy transforms into a drop of cyan liquid that falls to the bottom of the dantian. The first step of foundation building is then complete.

With the success of transforming the first drop of liquid, subsequent transformations became smoother and faster. By the time the ripples had absorbed all the spiritual energy cocoon enveloping him, the nine Heavenly Tribulations of foundation establishment fell as scheduled.

Nine bolts of tribulation thunder fell one after another, as if in a hurry, not giving Lian'er even a moment to breathe. As someone who had once been a great Ascension ancestor and possessed the Thunder Spirit Root, Lian'er understood how to use tribulation thunder to temper her body even better. Therefore, she did not use anything to block the nine bolts of tribulation thunder, receiving them all with her flesh and blood.

"This girl, she actually used the Thunder tribulation to temper her body, how bold!"

The old ancestor of the Qiao family muttered a few words, but he still kept a close eye on Ripple's condition. If anything seemed amiss, he would definitely take action and wouldn't stand idly by watching his descendant fall before him.

After two whole hours, the ripples finally refined the last trace of tribulation lightning within her body. This caused a thick layer of dark brown armor to cover her skin once more. She lightly shook her body, and it all cracked and fell off.

With a ripple and a clear whistle, he cast himself a cleansing incantation, tidying himself up before turning to thank his ancestor.

Thank you, Ancestor, for protecting the ripples.

"Ripples, are you still training your body"

"Knows a little about the basics, Lian Ri was born with great strength. To control her own power, she trained her body."

The ripples respectfully replied.

"Show me some body-refining martial arts moves."

Even Qiao Lao Ancestor came interested.

Yes!
