He agreed without hesitation. After all, cultivation was his own business, not someone else's. It was reasonable to suffer a little, and there was nothing to avoid.
Next, he turned around and went to Murong Yun, greeted his senior brother, and bluntly told him that he had lied to him before and had sneaked out to do something, and apologized openly and sincerely.
Murong Yun was simply amused and confused. Not only did he forgive him so easily, he also did not forget to educate him and told him to practice well.
There is a saying in the world of cultivating immortals: if you are too hasty to achieve success, you will not build a solid foundation.
Ye Hong thought, even a genius like my mother has been in seclusion for almost a month without any movement, so I have to cultivate for a full hundred days and show her the "Heavenly Dao Foundation Building".
In fact, there is no such thing as "heavenly foundation building" or "earthly foundation building" in foundation building.
As long as you can turn the Qi into liquid, like glue or mud, it will be fine. In other words, it needs to be high-quality and highly concentrated "Qi".
In addition, one point that needs to be explained is that according to the Hunyuan Five Elements Theory commonly used in the world of immortal cultivation, the Hunyuan innate one Qi gives birth to the five Qi, wood, fire, earth, metal and water, which correspond to the five elements; the five elements reside in the human body and give birth to the five internal organs, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
Previously, Ye Hong determined that his spiritual root belonged to the water element. "Spiritual root" is not a real organ of the body. Translated, it means: If you are born with a affinity for water, you will get twice the result with half the effort in your practice.
Among the five internal organs, the kidneys correspond to the water element.
All in all, after saying so much, it can be summed up in one sentence - cultivators with water-attributed spiritual roots must first "replenish the kidneys" when building their foundation. If the kidney qi is strong, the foundation of Taoism will be stable.
The same goes for the other reasons, so I won’t go into details.
……
After Ye Hong returned to his own courtyard, he began to prepare to go into the mountains. He turned to Feng'er who was gathering Qi and said, "I'm going to live in the mountains these days. There are fewer people there, and the spiritual energy is denser. Remember to bring me food on time every day. Just once at noon will be enough."
He paused, "Elder Liu may be here too, don't be afraid of her, she probably won't bother to pay attention to you."
She slowly opened her beautiful eyes and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Turtle and chicken." Also known as turtle stewed with black chicken.
"Okay." After saying that, Feng'er glanced at him, and seeing that he had no other instructions, she continued to practice.
The two have been living together for some time. Although they have not had sex, they have almost adapted to each other's pace of life and have developed a tacit understanding. Overall, they get along quite well.
Feng'er suddenly recalled that the first time she took off her clothes, took a bath and got into bed as he instructed, she thought she would lose her virginity, so her body was tense and her expression was a little embarrassed.
Although he was reluctant, he thought that after all, he was the one who wanted to kill him first, and he was the one who let go of the grudge.

Chapter 43: Upstream
The mountain behind Qiuye Sect is called Yandang Mountain, where red maples are everywhere and the ancient road winds through the mountains. There are also spectacular peaks, deep canyons and rugged stone forests. The scenery is picturesque and full of autumn atmosphere.
Ye Hong walked into the mountain along the Red Maple Trail. In this season when everything was bleak, only the red maples looked like fire, and there was a bit of romance in the warmth. He couldn't help but think that he must bring his mother to see such a beautiful scenery if he had the chance.
There is plenty of Hunyuan spiritual energy in the mountains, and the sect has also set up a large spirit gathering formation here to preserve the energy of the water and soil.
Therefore, practicing in the mountains is much easier than practicing at the foot of the mountains.
It is impossible to determine when monks first built houses and dug mountains to practice, but it is said to be a thousand years old, so it is not uncommon for a lucky person to discover an ancient cave by chance.
With Qingyi's level of cultivation, normally it would be almost impossible for anyone to discover her whereabouts.
But Ye Hong did it in a very counterintuitive way. He walked up the mountain alone, cleared the way through the mountains, built bridges over the water, and finally followed the sound of the mighty waterfall and successfully reached her. The misty water around created a hazy, dreamlike feeling. It was really a perfect place.
Qingyi suddenly turned around and glanced at him with extremely complicated eyes and a sullen expression.
"Should you praise me?"
She laughed coldly, "Liu Heting gave you a hint, right?"
Ye Hong nodded slightly and asked, "The master only told you to wait for me under the waterfall, but there are so many waterfalls in this mountain. How can I be sure that this is the one?"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little proud again.
Qingyi didn't comment, her tone was still as cold as usual, "Start practicing."
Ye Hong turned his head to look at her delicate and fair face, and couldn't help but sighed softly, and asked: "Elder Liu, if I become stronger one day sooner, can you get rid of me one day sooner?"
She sneered, as if she found this ridiculous, "You are stubborn and full of desires. If you don't correct your bad habits, you will never achieve anything great."
Ye Hongze retorted: "Too white is humiliating, too holy is still insufficient. With the six senses pure, who can live with me? It is better to be wild than to be reserved!"
Things that are too pure will make people want to defile them, and people who are too saintly will be more likely to be discovered to have shortcomings.
If I didn't have desires for you, why would I live next to you? Just so you can abuse me a thousand times, just so you can look like a water-cold scoundrel?
Why do I want to ** so much?
Qingyi glanced at him. If a person is frivolous on weekdays, he will be very different when he is serious occasionally.
She said coldly, "Since you are so insightful, you probably don't need me to teach you. Just practice on your own. Don't bother me if you have nothing else to do."
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back, returning to a thatched bamboo hut.
Ye Hong shouted: "I plan to use the waterfall to compress my vital energy. Is that possible?"
After a while, a cold voice came from inside, "If you are not afraid of death, go and try it yourself."
"Don't worry, I have the Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill, I won't die."
Ye Hong looked around and saw a waterfall like a white silk rushing down from a height of fifty feet into a deep pool. The sound was like thunder. Seeing this magnificent sight and hearing this thunder, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid. The water droplets splashing around made him think of the sudden rain that changed his fate. Even beasts have the ambition to fight against the sky, so he couldn't be worse than a beast, right?
He called out, "Elder Liu, does this waterfall have a name?"
There was no response for a long time. Ye Hong thought, if there is no speech, then there is nothing.
He laughed, "After I swam past it, it had a name. There is a dragon in the south, in the mountain pool. This place is called Dalongqiu!"
Although these words sounded arrogant, he was not without any support. The experience of transforming from a fish into a dragon in his dream in the past gave him strong self-confidence.
……
In the few months since he took the oath, he has been studying and comprehending the "Jiaolong Method" and applying its essence to his own use.
Although he lives very close to Qingyi, they have been practicing on their own these days and rarely communicate with each other.
During this period, the total amount of words spoken by the two people was not even as much as what Feng'er said when she came up the mountain to deliver food.
That day, while she was packing up the lunch box, she asked as usual: "Are you full?"
There won’t be any left if I’m not full, so I can only make more tomorrow.
"Yeah." Ye Hong, with his bare chest, handed over the bowl and said softly.
"What do you want to eat tomorrow?"
"Fish."
The so-called abalone is actually the abalone of later generations. In ancient times, "abalone" referred to a kind of pickled fish with a very fishy taste.
Feng'er naturally didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to eat abalone. She just nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll make a note of it." Then she carried the food box and went down the mountain.
After digesting the food, Ye Hong began his practice again for today.
He just performed the "water-walking technique" and stood on the water with his feet. Then he came to a moss-covered boulder under the waterfall, on which he had carved two depressions for standing.
The plan was good, but unfortunately, nature was powerful and magnificent. The rushing water made him sway from side to side, and he couldn't stand steadily, and soon fell into the pool.
Ye Hong thought, practicing martial arts under a waterfall and tempering internal strength are all common old scenes. Those martial arts masters are all mortals, and I am an immortal. There is no reason why they can succeed but I can't.
What's more, I want to do it more thoroughly than them. I want to climb the waterfall!
It's you, Gyarados.
He practiced the "Dragon Method" in the water, and his magic power condensed into illusory scales on his body surface, which was somewhat similar to a transparent "shark skin swimsuit", allowing him to move flexibly in the cold pond and become one with the water flow.
……
On the cliff not far away, Qingyi was watching all this silently with her eyes half closed. She saw Ye Hong struggling again and again, failing again and again. She didn't know what to feel in her heart, and she had nothing to say.
During these days together, whether he was practicing or just saying he admired her, he had always lived in his own little world, talking to himself and doing his own thing, as if the world was perfect. He was really naive.
But he is like those favored children of heaven, at least he is blessed with good fortune and great luck, so he does not need too much care.
If it wasn't necessary, she really didn't want to stay with him. It wasn't just because she disliked him, but mainly because she couldn't adapt.
To put it in detail, the body and mind will often have a strange feeling, which can only be diluted by practicing "Ice Heart Art". After a long time, even "Ice Heart Art" cannot suppress it.
On the other hand, Ye Hong used the "Jiaolong Method" over and over again, and suddenly he felt his anger rising, as if there was a fire suppressed in his heart. It was running rampant in his body, clamoring "I feel so uncomfortable", and then his words came true.
He suddenly found himself very interesting. He had never been so hard even when he was holding Feng'er's fair and coquettish body. Could it be that cultivation was more interesting than women?
I do not believe.
From a side view, this is the first step in building the foundation, which means that his kidney function is ready to become the "source of water", in other words, the "storage of essence".
As the name implies, Jingzang is the storage of the essence of the five internal organs. For the water spirit root, it is the kidney essence, so we should control sexual intercourse and avoid excessive indulgence.
If one practices further, it is the "Shenmang (Shenzang)", which means to hide the divine energy inside, also known as "guarding the primordial spirit within", which happens after the Nascent Soul transforms into the Primordial Spirit.
Somehow, Qingyi felt something in her heart. She was helpless, puzzled and bewildered. Ever since he hugged her slender waist underwater that day, the two of them seemed to have gradually established a special connection. Whenever she saw him or touched him, she would feel particularly irritated and anxious.
After thinking it over, I still have no clue. I can only attribute it to the aggressiveness caused by his touching my innocent body, or maybe it's because of some obscene things in his temperament that are really annoying, such as frivolity, fickleness, and blatantly treating beautiful women as his own private property.
I really don't know where he got such courage.
Chapter 44: Transformed into a Dragon
Qingyi felt that she had been tolerant enough towards him.
He talked about liking me so nonchalantly, he was full of the courage to steal women's clothes, and he was a frivolous and treacherous thief, like a little pervert. All the women in the world deserved to be harassed and insulted by him.
People who have no sense of boundaries are very annoying, and those who don't follow the rules will get into trouble sooner or later.
Ever since Qingyi was old enough to understand, she has been forced by her mother, the Master Shenhe, to practice hard according to her rules.
Her childhood was without a childhood. The most profound memory in her mind was her mother’s disappointed and cold face.
At that time, the world was just beginning to settle down. Although most of the evil sects had been destroyed, they still caused endless harm. When they gathered together, they were a pile of shit; when they scattered, they were scattered all over the sky. Even if they could not harm people, they were still very disgusting.
Back then, Shen He wanted so badly to instill all of her life experiences into her daughter's head, even though she was just a child at the time.
For this reason, Qingyi often tries her best, even against her nature, to please and appease her mother.
"Mother, Yi'er has finished her exercises, can you hold her for a while..."
However, Shen He seemed to be born difficult to please. She was demanding and picky, and no request made to her would ever be met.
The mother and daughter are like two hedgehogs, one big and one small. If they are too close, they will be hurt; if they are too far away, they will not feel the warmth.
