Chapter 142: The different levels of foundation building!

Inside the antique room, Xiao Xiyue recounted the general situation between herself and Lu Changsheng to Yun Wanchang.

Yun Wanchang listened quietly.

During the process, she asked Xiao Xiyue about Lu Changsheng already having children.

Xiao Xiyue stated that this was also one of the reasons she chose Lu Changsheng as the object of her Inner Demon Tribulation.

Because Supreme Emotion Severing Art might ultimately harm both herself and others.

And Lu Changsheng was very affectionate, having many wives, concubines, and children.

In this situation, even if she left in the future, it wouldn’t cause Lu Changsheng too much sorrow or pain.

Listening to this, Yun Wanchang’s fists involuntarily clenched.

It wasn’t because she was angry about Xiao Xiyue’s thoughts.

When Xiao Xiyue asked her to refine the Golden Crow Pill, she had already guessed Xiao Xiyue’s intentions.

She wanted to use this to clear their Karma, thereby achieving Supreme Forgetfulness.

The reason she was so angry was that upon hearing Lu Changsheng had many wives, concubines, and children, she felt extremely displeased.

She recalled that after their night of intimacy, Lu Changsheng had looked at her with a wronged and pitiful expression.

At the time, she even thought Lu Changsheng was some pure young man.

But now, hearing Xiao Xiyue’s words, and learning that he already had a group of wives and concubines and was the father of dozens of children, she immediately felt extremely stifled and displeased.

She wished she could give Lu Changsheng two sword strikes right now.

“Master, please don’t worry, I’ve already told Changsheng about this, and I’ll explain everything to him thoroughly when the time comes,” Xiao Xiyue said, pursing her lips as she looked at her Master.

She thought Yun Wanchang was angry with her.

“Alas,” Yun Wanchang looked at her disciple’s appearance.

She couldn’t help but wonder if Xiao Xiyue could truly overcome her Inner Demon Tribulation.

She sighed deeply and didn’t ask or dwell on this matter further.

Because the matter of the Inner Demon Tribulation could only be overcome by Xiao Xiyue herself.

Her ability to help was limited.

“It’s good that you have a clear understanding of this matter in your heart.”

“If anything happens, you can send a message to your Master.”

Yun Wanchang sighed slightly.

Things had come to this, and she had nothing more to say.

She just felt emotional in her heart that fate played tricks on people.

It had disrupted her state of mind.

“Thank you, Master.”

Xiao Xiyue’s eyes showed gentleness as she respectfully bowed.

Yun Wanchang waved her hand, signaling for her to withdraw.

Xiao Xiyue bowed again and walked out of the room and the inn.

“Alas, fate truly plays tricks on people.”

After Xiao Xiyue left, when Yun Wanchang was alone in the room, she sighed deeply again.

Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, and she couldn’t completely calm down.

“However, this Lu Changsheng, a farmer’s son, who failed the Qingyun Sect’s entrance examination and became a live-in son-in-law for a Foundation Establishment Family, has grown to this extent in just over ten years.”

“It seems he also has great Opportunity and great Luck.”

Yun Wanchang looked in the direction of the Lu Family Spirit Talisman Shop, her expression calm.

She had been very surprised when she previously saw Lu Changsheng’s Cultivation status.

That was when she considered Lu Changsheng an ordinary Cultivator with an 8th Grade Spiritual Root.

Now, having a general understanding of Lu Changsheng through Xiao Xiyue, and with her perspective shifted, she felt it made sense.

After all, as a Core Formation True Person, her vision was inherently higher than ordinary people.

Lu Changsheng’s performance was indeed astonishing, but in the eyes of her, a Core Formation True Person, it was just so-so.

She, Yun Wanchang, had Cultivated all the way to Core Formation before she was a hundred years old, not only because of her extraordinary talent but also because of Opportunity; she was a person of great Opportunity and great Luck.

“I suppose my choosing him in the midst of destiny also held some Luck.”

“But alas, fate plays tricks on people.”

Yun Wanchang sighed softly.

For some reason, she felt a sense of emptiness and inexplicable irritation in her heart.

Then, she transformed into a rainbow light and disappeared from the inn.

“Xiao Xiyue.”

Lu Changsheng sent his daughter back to the Lingfu Shop, entrusting Lu Miaoge to look after her, then returned to the intersection.

Soon after, he saw Xiao Xiyue emerge from an inn.

“Changsheng.”

Xiao Xiyue hurried forward upon seeing Lu Changsheng.

Then, she explained, “The one who was peeking at you just now was my Master.”

“She was worried about me, so she also came down the mountain this trip.”

Xiao Xiyue said.

“Your Master!?”

Lu Changsheng was startled upon hearing this.

He knew that Xiao Xiyue’s Master was a Core Formation True Person of the Qingyun Sect.

He hadn’t expected that this Core Formation True Person would actually come down the mountain with Xiao Xiyue.

And was secretly observing him.

This made him feel a surge of lingering fear.

After all, if a Core Formation True Person was displeased with him, he would be like a fish on a chopping board.

“Has your Master given any instructions?”

Lu Changsheng asked cautiously.

He didn’t know what attitude this Core Formation True Person had towards him.

After all, his current relationship with Xiao Xiyue might displease her Master, right?

“Don’t worry, Master was just worried about me and came to check.”

“Now that she’s seen, she should have left.”

Xiao Xiyue said with a slight curve of her lips, looking at Lu Changsheng’s expression.

“It’s truly a pity not to have been able to meet the Immortal Master.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng also felt relieved.

He probably understood that Xiao Xiyue’s Master knew Xiao Xiyue was using him to Cultivate the Supreme Emotion Severing Art.

Therefore, she didn’t mind his relationship with Xiao Xiyue.

“If this Core Formation True Person knew that I want her disciple to have a child, she would probably cut me down with a single sword, right?” Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

“Master usually dislikes meeting people. If there’s an Opportunity next time, I’ll introduce you,” Xiao Xiyue said.

“I was just saying.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand.

Although he was somewhat curious about Xiao Xiyue’s Master, the Core Formation True Person of Qingyun Sect.

But he had no intention of meeting her.

After all, with such a large disparity in strength, meeting such a Great Cultivator was truly terrifying.

He still clearly remembered how panicked he was the first time he met the Lu Family Old Ancestor.

“Changsheng, are there any second-tier Immortal Caves available for rent here in the Market?” Xiao Xiyue asked Lu Changsheng.

“A second-tier Immortal Cave, probably yes.”

Lu Changsheng knew Xiao Xiyue planned to temporarily reside here.

He had a second-tier Immortal Cave before.

However, since he didn’t often come to live there, and when he did, it was with Lu Miaoge, he had rented the Immortal Cave to Gao He.

But if Xiao Xiyue needed it, they could still rent one from the Lu Family for now.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng took Xiao Xiyue to the Lu Family Courtyard in Hongye Valley to find the Lu Family Grand Elder.

Currently, the Hongye Valley Market was overseen by the Lu Family Grand Elder.

“Grand Elder, this friend of mine wishes to temporarily settle in the Hongye Valley Market. I wonder if our Family still has any spare second-tier Immortal Caves for rent?” Lu Changsheng said, cupping his hands in greeting upon seeing the Grand Elder.

“You’ve come at just the right time; there’s exactly one second-tier Immortal Cave left,” the Grand Elder said with a chuckle upon hearing this.

Then he glanced at Xiao Xiyue, who had a detached expression beside him.

He couldn’t help but wonder where Lu Changsheng had met this girl.

Not only was she stunningly beautiful, but her aura made her seem unapproachable.

Her Cultivation strength was so profound that even he, the Lu Family Grand Elder, couldn’t discern it, finding her unfathomable.

He wondered if she was another Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator?

“Then I’ll trouble the Grand Elder.”

Lu Changsheng immediately expressed his intention to rent it.

Considering that Xiao Xiyue probably wouldn’t be staying here for long, Lu Changsheng decided to rent it for just one year.

Normally, such Immortal Caves were rented for a minimum of three to five years.

But Lu Changsheng was, after all, one of their own.

So, a one-year rental was also acceptable.

And it was at the lowest possible price.

After renting the Immortal Cave, Lu Changsheng bid farewell to the Grand Elder.

Holding the token, he led Xiao Xiyue to the Immortal Cave area of the Hongye Valley Market.

This Immortal Cave was similar to the one Lu Changsheng rented to Gao He.

It was only one hundred square meters, spacious and simple.

The Immortal Cave had Formation Restrictions, making it very quiet.

Now, with a man and a woman alone in the room, Lu Changsheng didn’t pretend to be a gentleman.

“Xiao Xiyue, it’s been so long, let me see if your Cultivation has fallen behind.”

Looking at Xiao Xiyue, dressed in white, with a cold and exquisite face, like a Fairy from the Moon Palace, Lu Changsheng embraced her.

“Changsheng~”

After several months, the familiar scent and sensation overwhelmed Xiao Xiyue, making her let out a soft groan, her fair, snow-like cheeks flushing with a rosy blush.

“It seems your Cultivation has been somewhat neglected,” Lu Changsheng teased.

Xiao Xiyue’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, feeling a bit unconvinced, and she began to counterattack.

As they went back and forth, Xiao Xiyue gradually regained some of her rhythm, able to match Lu Changsheng blow for blow.

After a long while.

“Changsheng, I have a gift for you.”

Xiao Xiyue sat in Lu Changsheng’s embrace, slightly out of breath.

Her cold and beautiful face was like melting ice and snow, or a flowering tree covered in snow, breathtakingly beautiful.

“A gift?”

Lu Changsheng, embracing Xiao Xiyue, raised an eyebrow.

He immediately guessed that it was about Xiao Xiyue’s previous offer to help him with Foundation Establishment.

However, he didn’t have much expectation for this gift.

Instead, he was a bit distracted by the beautiful woman in front of him.

After all, a gentleman hides his tools within himself, waiting for the opportune moment to act.

“Changsheng, this is a Golden Crow Pill. It will help you Cultivate and allow you to quickly reach Qi Refining Peak.”

“Moreover, the Golden Crow Pill contains a trace of Great Sun Essence, which can not only compensate for your losses in the male and female aspects but also aid you in breaking through to Foundation Establishment!”

Xiao Xiyue took out a porcelain bottle from her Storage Pouch.

She opened the bottle.

Immediately, a hot Medicinal Pill fragrance permeated the air.

Lu Changsheng saw a round, golden Medicinal Pill.

It seemed as if wisps of flame were burning on it.

“Xiyue, isn’t this Medicinal Pill a bit too precious?”

Lu Changsheng had never heard of the Golden Crow Pill.

But from the appearance of the Medicinal Pill and Xiao Xiyue’s description of its effects, he knew that this Medicinal Pill was of extraordinary value.

After all, anything related to Foundation Establishment wouldn’t be cheap.

“You saved my life before and helped me Cultivate; what’s one Medicinal Pill?”

When Xiao Xiyue mentioned helping her Cultivate, her face flushed slightly.

Back in Ruyi County City, Lu Changsheng saying he would help her Cultivate made sense.

But now, with their current situation, if she still talked about Cultivating, she felt like she was deceiving herself.

“Xiyue, that’s too formal. In that case, I’ll accept it.”

Lu Changsheng, hearing this, was no longer polite.

He knew that women like Xiao Xiyue were actually very independent and didn’t want to owe him too much.

When she returned to Qingyun Sect earlier, besides dealing with the ambush, she had already thought about how to repay him.

“If you have nothing else to do, take this Golden Crow Pill directly. I’ll be your Protector and help you refine it.”

Xiao Xiyue continued.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this, his face regaining a serious expression.

He put down the warm, soft jade in his arms and swallowed the Golden Crow Pill.

As the Medicinal Pill was swallowed, Lu Changsheng immediately felt a vast and pure power permeate his entire body, warm and very comfortable.

But before he could enjoy it…

“Boom!”

His lower abdomen seemed to have a Great Sun explode, transforming into Rolling flames that swept through his entire body, burning his limbs and bones.

Hot, hot, hot!

Lu Changsheng felt his entire body scalding hot, as if it were burning.

Golden flames even began to ignite on his flesh and muscles.

“Changsheng, circulate your Cultivation Technique.”

Xiao Xiyue’s voice rang out.

Then, the soft, white-cloud-like Fairy’s fragrant lips pressed against Lu Changsheng’s lips.

As Lu Changsheng felt the warm softness, a heavy, ice-like Yin-extreme Qi slowly flowed into his body through her vermilion lips.

Yin and Yang, merging here.

Under the washing of this cool Spiritual Qi, the violent, hot Medicinal Pill power in Lu Changsheng’s body gradually calmed down.

The intense pain from his burning flesh also largely disappeared.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng did not distract himself by savoring the Fairy’s fragrant lips.

Instead, he circulated the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture.

He quickly refined the vast and pure Medicinal Pill power of the Golden Crow Pill.

He could see the hot Medicinal Pill power of the Golden Crow Pill, under Xiao Xiyue’s cool Spiritual Qi, gradually transforming into a firebird like a Golden Crow, slowly moving through his limbs, bones, and Meridians.

During this process, Lu Changsheng not only felt his Cultivation rapidly increasing.

His flesh, Meridians, and internal organs were also being washed and refined.

If he hadn’t Cultivated the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique and his Physical Body hadn’t already been tempered countless times, the baptism of this power on his Physical Body would have been even more apparent.

Just like that, time passed bit by bit.

More than half a month passed.

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

His eyes were bright and piercing, and his whole body felt unprecedentedly comfortable.

He lightly exhaled a turbid Qi.

He looked inward at his Qi Sea Dantian.

The seven-colored Dantian lake surged like an ocean, its aura vast and powerful.

At this moment, his Cultivation had already reached Qi Refining Peak.

As long as he spent a few more months carefully polishing his Spiritual Qi, making his entire body’s Spiritual Qi perfectly round and fluid, he could then prepare to break through to Foundation Establishment.

“Hiss, this speed!”

Lu Changsheng was also somewhat startled by the speed of his Cultivation increase.

After all, according to his own estimates,

even with the aid of Medicinal Pills, he would still need three to five years to Cultivate to Qi Refining Perfection.

But now, how much time had passed? His entire body’s Spiritual Qi had already reached Qi Refining Perfection.

This made him realize even more the extraordinary nature of that Golden Crow Pill.

Not only the Golden Crow Pill, but also the Spiritual Qi that Xiao Xiyue had infused into his body.

“Hmm? Why is this thing still here?”

Lu Changsheng saw a small Golden Crow slowly swimming in his seven-colored Dantian lake.

It was the firebird that had been moving through his Meridians when he refined the Golden Crow Pill earlier.

“Changsheng, you’re awake.”

Xiao Xiyue looked at Lu Changsheng waking up, a faint smile on her face.

Perhaps she had given too much Spiritual Qi to Lu Changsheng earlier, making her face slightly pale.

“Xiyue, you’ve worked hard.”

Lu Changsheng, seeing Xiao Xiyue like this, knew that she was like this because she helped him refine the Medicinal Pill.

He held her delicate hand and thanked her.

Then he asked, “Xiyue, why is there a small Golden Crow swimming in my Dantian lake?”

“This is the most precious Great Sun Essence of the Golden Crow Pill.”

“When you Break through to Foundation Establishment, this wisp of Great Sun Essence can refine your Foundation, ensuring you condense a Perfect Dao Foundation, and even giving you a chance to condense a Great Sun Dao Foundation.”

“However, Changsheng, your Spiritual Root Foundation is several times more profound than I imagined. Even without this wisp of Great Sun Essence, you would still be able to condense a Perfect Dao Foundation.”

Xiao Xiyue explained.

“Perfect Dao Foundation, Great Sun Dao Foundation?”

“Xiyue, does Foundation Establishment also have different grades?”

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised to hear this.

He knew that after reaching Qi Refining Perfection and his entire body’s Spiritual Qi becoming perfectly round and fluid, he could then attempt to Break through to Foundation Establishment.

Breaking through the three Foundation Establishment barriers would transform the Dantian lake into a true sea, supporting a Dao Platform, shedding the mortal body, and forming a Dao Foundation, thus becoming a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!

When he Cultivated the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture and broke through to Foundation Establishment, the Dao Platform would be supported within the Dantian lake formed by the seven luminaries Spiritual Qi.

This Dao Platform was also called the seven luminaries Dao Platform.

But now, listening to Xiao Xiyue’s words, it seemed that this Dao Foundation also had different grades.

“Changsheng, you don’t know?”

Xiao Xiyue was a little surprised to hear this.

However, she also recalled that the Lu Family, where Lu Changsheng belonged, was only a Foundation Establishment Family.

And Lu Changsheng had always hidden his Cultivation, so it was normal for him not to have access to this kind of information.

She immediately explained to Lu Changsheng: “That’s right, breaking through to Foundation Establishment, after breaking the three Foundation Establishment barriers, is about raising a Dao Platform in the Dantian lake.”

“The Dao Platform radiates brilliantly, circulating throughout the body, shedding the mortal coil; this is Foundation Establishment.”

“However, depending on different Cultivation Techniques and one’s own Foundation, the condensed Dao Platform also has different levels of quality.”

“If one is old and frail, with declining Qi and blood, a weak Foundation, or weak Divine Sense, even if they pass the three Foundation Establishment barriers and successfully establish their Foundation, the rising Dao Platform will have flaws and cracks.”

“This kind of Foundation Establishment is called a Flawed Dao Foundation, or even a Shattered Foundation.”

“If the Dao Platform has too many cracks and flaws, it not only affects Cultivation speed and magical power but also makes it much more difficult to Break through Bottlenecks and Core Formation in the future.”

“If the rising Dao Platform is flawless and complete, it is a Perfect Dao Foundation, and one can hope for Core Formation in the future.”

“Above the Perfect Dao Foundation, there is also the Perfect Dao Foundation.”

“This means, on the basis of being flawless and complete, Cultivating a Cultivation Technique that matches oneself, or using a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object or some treasure that matches oneself, to elevate one’s Dao Platform to a higher level.”

“I possess the Moonlight Spirit Body and Cultivate the Supreme Emotion Severing Art. If I successfully establish my Foundation, I can forge a Taiyin Mysterious Moon Dao Foundation.”

“And the Great Sun Dao Foundation also belongs to the Perfect Foundation Establishment.”

Xiao Xiyue said, explaining.

“Flawed Dao Foundation, Perfect Dao Foundation, Perfect Dao Foundation.”

Lu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this.

Only then did he realize that Foundation Establishment also had different grades.

However, he wasn’t surprised by this.

After all, he hadn’t heard of the detailed divisions of Foundation Establishment, but he had heard that Core Formation had divisions of True Core and False Core.

In this situation, wasn’t it very normal for the Dao Platform of Foundation Establishment to have different levels of quality?

“I Cultivate the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, and the Dao Platform supported in my Dantian lake is the Seven Luminaries Dao Foundation.”

“According to Xiyue’s description, it should belong to the Perfect Dao Foundation, right?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
