"In the southwest of Yue Country, Purple Bamboo Mountain has a large second-stage upper-grade spirit vein, although it isn't comparable to a third-stage spirit vein, it is definitely among the top of second-stage upper-grade veins," Duan Shuang replied.

"A large second-stage upper-grade spirit vein?" Hearing this, Xu Ping was shocked internally.

Spirit veins are divided into three sizes: large, medium, and small; like Cangyuan Mountain, which belongs to the medium-small second-stage middle-grade spirit vein.

Large second-stage upper-grade spirit veins are rare throughout the entire Yue Country.

Although surprised by Purple Bamboo Mountain's spirit vein, Xu Ping did not immediately express whether he would join or not, and instead cautiously asked, "May I ask Fellow Daoist Duan, why invite someone like me with unknown backgrounds to join Purple Bamboo Mountain?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu is not someone with an unknown background, but rather a famous sword cultivator in the entire Yue Country," Duan Shuang's charming laughter came through the sound transmission talisman.

Hearing this, Xu Ping immediately understood, the other party must already know his true identity.

However, this wasn't something easy to hide; although he had comprehended Sword Qi Thunder Sound in the early-stage Foundation Establishment, making him quite a talent in swordsmanship, it was within cultivators' understanding.

Naturally, it wouldn't be comparable to a genius who comprehended Sword Qi Thunder Sound with a Celestial Spirit Root and in the Qi Refining realm, attracting Golden Core Patriarchs, or even Nascent Soul Patriarchs to vie for taking them as disciples.

Moreover, with the end of the war between the two countries, without conflicts of interest, neither Golden Core sects nor Nascent Soul sects, being no fools, would cause trouble for him without reason.

Yue Country is large, enough to accommodate him completely.

"Originally, Purple Bamboo Mountain had three Foundation Establishment cultivators, but unfortunately, one fell during the war between the two countries; now there is a vacancy, so I thought of you, Fellow Daoist Xu," Duan Shuang continued, with a tone of anticipation.

"Thank you Fellow Daoist Duan for your trust," Xu Ping thanked and then asked, "May I ask about the other Fellow Daoist residing on Purple Bamboo Mountain, what is their background?"

"Their background is very clean, and they are a second-stage mid-grade artifact refiner," Duan Shuang replied.

"A second-stage mid-grade artifact refiner?"

Xu Ping's heart stirred, this would be a nice neighbor, perhaps he could learn the artifact refining technique through them.

Subsequently, he asked several questions about Purple Bamboo Mountain, and Duan Shuang answered each one.

He had a rough understanding of Purple Bamboo Mountain in his mind.

Purple Bamboo Mountain is located in the southwest of Liang Country, not far from the Wanzhe Waters.

Wanzhe Waters is a vast expanse of water, with countless islands scattered within, rich in resources, where one of the Golden Core sects, Shuize Sect, is established.

A large second-stage upper-grade spirit vein, abundant resources, and having a neighbor who is a second-stage mid-grade artifact refiner, it fits his requirements very well.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ping asked, "Fellow Daoist Duan invited me to join Purple Bamboo Mountain, may I know what the other Fellow Daoist thinks?"

"I've discussed it with Fellow Daoist Wu for sure before extending the invitation to you," Duan Shuang laughed charmingly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping smiled slightly, "In that case, I appreciate Fellow Daoist Duan's invitation, I shall join Purple Bamboo Mountain."

"From now on, we will be neighbors," Duan Shuang's voice, tinged with joy, came through the sound transmission talisman.

Inviting a genius sword cultivator to join Purple Bamboo Mountain, while he is also a second-stage alchemist, would greatly enhance the strength and influence of Purple Bamboo Mountain.

"However, I am quite far from Purple Bamboo Mountain now, it might take me some time to arrive," Xu Ping said, with a tone of apology.

"It's alright, the war is over now, Fellow Daoist doesn't need to rush," Duan Shuang laughed.

"Thank you Fellow Daoist Duan for understanding," Xu Ping expressed gratitude.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, no need to be so polite, after all, we'll be neighbors," Duan Shuang chuckled softly.

"That's true," Xu Ping smiled slightly.

After chatting for a few more words, the brilliance of the long-distance sound transmission talisman faded away.

Gazing at the long-distance sound transmission talisman, Xu Ping murmured to himself:

"Purple Bamboo Mountain indeed is a good place for stable cultivation, but before leaving, I need to leave a Foundation Establishment cultivator with the Zhang family, only then can the Zhang family continue to pass on successfully."

Thinking for a moment, he turned his hand, and a jade box containing Purple Flower Grass and an earth-yellow demon core appeared in his palm.

"Now the main materials for crafting the Foundation Establishment Pill are ready, the rest of the auxiliary materials are not difficult to find, once the Foundation Establishment Pill is made, the Zhang family can find a Qi Refining ninth layer peak cultivator to start Foundation Establishment."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Ping stored the Purple Flower Grass and demon core, and left the cave dwelling to go to the market outside Ten Thousand Mountains to collect auxiliary materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Seven days later.

Xu Ping returned to the cave dwelling again.

In the cultivation room, he took out the pill furnace and all the materials for crafting the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Let's begin alchemy!"

Xu Ping flipped his palm, and a light red flame flower appeared in his palm, which was Foundation Establishment True Flame!

With a gentle wave of his arm, the Foundation Establishment True Flame fell into the fire port below the Purple Profound Tripod, then surged to the size of a baby's head, starting to heat the Purple Profound Tripod.

With his skill in alchemy coupled with the assistance of the panel, there was naturally no possibility of failure.

Five days later.

The entire cultivation room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, refreshing and invigorating.

At this moment, the alchemy was in its final stages.

The alchemy furnace radiated light, emitting a rich medicinal aroma.

"Open!"

Xu Ping shouted, a magic technique in his hands, executing the furnace skill.

Buzz!

A colorful mist burst open the cauldron lid, and heat waves swept around.

Above the alchemy furnace, faint auspicious clouds appeared, enveloped in a colorful halo.

Xu Ping formed a magic technique, and immediately two pills surrounded by auspicious mist settled into his hand.

"Foundation Establishment Pill... is done!"

A smile couldn't help but curl at the corner of Xu Ping's mouth; his alchemy technique now almost rivaled that of a Hidden Alchemist in the past.
