Chapter 145: Lucky draw, Daobing Doumu!

“Chang Sheng, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Xiyue saw Lu Changsheng suddenly spacing out and asked.

“It’s my first time seeing such a large market; I’m a little surprised.”

Lu Changsheng immediately snapped back to reality and said casually.

He didn’t look at the system interface again.

“I’ve only been to this Qingyun Market once.”

“I wonder how prosperous the three great immortal cities are.”

Xiao Xiyue said upon hearing this.

Immediately, the two of them lined up to enter the market.

After paying ten spirit stones and simply registering their information, the two received an identity牌 and entered the market.

Xiao Xiyue also began to introduce the general situation of Qingyun Market to Lu Changsheng.

The market is divided into the outer city, inner city, and core area.

The outer city is a gathering place for poor and ordinary rogue cultivators.

As for the inner city, it depends on the area.

The market’s shops, inns, post houses, residential areas, etc., are all concentrated here.

As for the core area, it is the towering peak that the two had seen earlier, reaching into the clouds.

The cave dwellings at the foot of the core area mountain are open to the public.

The second-tier, top-grade cave dwelling that Xiao Xiyue mentioned is also on this mountain.

The two entered the inner city together.

Looking at the bustling shops on both sides, Lu Changsheng also prepared in his heart to deal with some of the red-robed youth’s stolen goods in the market after establishing his foundation.

He hadn’t been to Nine Dragons Market for the past year.

Therefore, the red-robed youth’s gains had been kept on him without being dealt with.

Moreover, after establishing his foundation, the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Sutra broke through to the second level, and he could condense the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp within his body.

This Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp could also be forged into a physical magic tool and used as his Natal Spiritual Weapon.

The materials for forging his Natal Spiritual Weapon might be found directly in this Qingyun Market.

After the two briefly strolled around the inner city, they walked towards the central core peak of the market.

“Caiyun Peak, Xiao Xiyue, I need to rent a second-tier, top-grade cave dwelling.”

Arriving at the core area, Xiao Xiyue found the steward in charge of renting out cave dwellings, revealed her true appearance, took out her token, and said.

“Junior Sister Xiao, what is the reason for renting a cave dwelling?”

“If you are secluding yourself to break through your cultivation, there is currently a superior-grade Class A cave dwelling available. If it is only for temporary cultivation, a Class B cave dwelling is sufficient for Junior Sister to use.”

This steward’s surname was Han, and he looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was also a Qingyun Sect disciple.

After checking the token, he immediately said politely.

“I’m breaking through my cultivation, so I need to rent a second-tier, top-grade Class A cave dwelling.”

Xiao Xiyue said.

“Alright, Junior Sister Xiao, a second-tier, top-grade Class A cave dwelling costs five hundred spirit stones per year.”

Steward Han said.

Even if they were his own people, they only had the qualification to rent and still had to pay spirit stones.

However, this price was already considered cheap.

After all, Lu Changsheng could rent a similar cave dwelling for about one hundred spirit stones in Red Leaf Valley Market.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Han.”

Xiao Xiyue took out the spirit stones.

The other party didn’t say much and quickly helped with the procedures, explaining some matters.

“I wonder if this Junior Sister Xiao is breaking through to establish her foundation herself or renting a cave dwelling for a friend.”

“If people were to find out that the Fairy Xiyue of Caiyun Peak is actually sharing a room with a man… tsk, tsk, tsk…”

After Xiao Xiyue left with Lu Changsheng, this Steward Han shook his head and sighed.

Although he had never met Xiao Xiyue, he had heard of her name and reputation.

After all, she was a disciple of a Golden Core True Person.

Not only was she extremely beautiful, but she was also exceptionally talented and had a small reputation in the Qingyun Sect.

“However, as a friend of Fairy Xiyue, this person should not be too old.”

“To dare to break through to establish his foundation at this age, he must not be an ordinary person. I wonder if he can succeed in establishing his foundation.”

A few hints of envy and sadness appeared in Steward Han’s eyes.

He was arranged to be a rental steward in this market. Although his status and treatment were good, he basically had no hope of establishing his foundation without opportunity.

Therefore, seeing someone catching up from behind and coming to establish their foundation, he felt some emotion in his heart.

Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng arrived at the mountainside shrouded in clouds and mist.

Relying on the restriction token, they opened the gate of the cave dwelling.

This cave dwelling was not large, about a hundred square meters.

The spiritual energy inside was misty and very dense, almost forming a thin fog.

“Is this a second-tier, top-grade cave dwelling?”

Lu Changsheng breathed in the dense spiritual energy, feeling ethereal and comfortable all over.

It was his first time renting a second-tier cave dwelling.

Whether in Qingzhu Valley or Red Leaf Valley Market, he had only enjoyed second-tier, low-grade spiritual veins.

He could see that this cave dwelling was not only second-tier, top-grade, but also had an array to gather spiritual energy, making the spiritual energy extremely dense.

“This kind of Class A cave dwelling is specially used for breaking through cultivation, so it has gathered a lot of spiritual energy.”

“If you break through, the spiritual energy will become thin and needs to be re-condensed.”

Xiao Xiyue explained.

Although she had never been to this kind of cave dwelling,

She enjoyed a second-tier, top-grade spiritual vein on Caiyun Peak.

She knew what a second-tier, top-grade spiritual vein was like.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and looked at the situation inside the cave dwelling.

It was divided into a bedroom and a practice room, with a stone table and a stone bed, which was very simple.

However, most cave dwellings were like this, just enough to live in.

Since there was still more than a month before he established his foundation,

The two did not cultivate day and night as usual.

After a brief moment of tenderness, they sat cross-legged and adjusted their energy, qi, and spirit.

Lu Changsheng did not immediately adjust his state.

He silently said in his heart: “System, I want to draw a prize.”

Immediately, the familiar system roulette appeared.

“Start drawing a prize.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was extremely calm, and his mind moved slightly.

A golden light appeared on the roulette in front of him and began to spin rapidly.

After a while, the golden light slowly stopped on the “Other” section of the roulette.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Dao Soldier ‘Golden Armor Bean Mother’!]

[The reward has been distributed to the system space; the host can check it at any time]

A golden bean pattern the size of a chicken egg emerged from the roulette, accompanied by a system prompt.

“Dao Soldier, Golden Armor Bean Mother?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly when he saw the reward he had won this time.

He didn’t know what this Dao Soldier was.

He looked at the Golden Armor Bean Mother in the system space.

[Dao Soldier: Golden Armor Bean Mother]

[Quality: Third Tier]

[Description: A spiritual plant-type Dao Soldier cultivated by the Golden Armor Sect, refined with secret methods. It can transform into a second-tier Golden Armor Warrior, and it can also be propagated by planting and cultivating spiritual beans, sprouting in three years, growing leaves in three years, flowering in three years, and bearing beans in three years]

“Spiritual plant-type Dao Soldier that can transform into a second-tier Golden Armor Warrior?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the description of the Golden Armor Bean Mother in the system space and showed some interest.

Based on this introduction, he roughly guessed what this Dao Soldier was.

It should be something similar to puppets and demon beasts.

This Golden Armor Bean Mother could transform into a second-tier Golden Armor Warrior, which, in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, should be a puppet or demon beast with the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage.

What interested Lu Changsheng the most was that this Golden Armor Bean Mother could propagate spiritual beans through planting and cultivation.

Although he didn’t know what these spiritual beans were for, Lu Changsheng found it very interesting.

After all, in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, a simple second-tier combat power was not worthy of the third-tier quality.

However, Xiao Xiyue was still here now.

It was inconvenient for him to extract this Bean Mother from the system space out of thin air to view detailed information.

He planned to check the Golden Armor Bean Mother when he had time.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng restrained his mind, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged.

He ran the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Sutra and began to adjust his state.

At the same time, thoughts began to flow through his mind.

Scenes from his youth, before awakening his memories.

Scenes after awakening his memories on the Questioning Heart Platform of the Azure Cloud Sect.

The disappointment in his heart when he failed to be chosen for the Immortal Sect.

The Chen family’s ambush on the way to Green Bamboo Mountain, the fear of facing death.

Marrying Lu Lanshu, Lu Zier, and Lu Qing’er, the excitement and joy in his heart when his first son, Lu Ping’an, was born.

Obtaining second-order talisman-making through the system, maintaining caution, and displaying his skills.

These scenes flashed through Lu Changsheng’s mind like a revolving lantern, vividly imprinted in his memory.

After a long time, Lu Changsheng’s thoughts gradually calmed down.

In his own opinion, although these past ten years haven’t been easy, they also haven’t been particularly difficult.

He had no regrets or obsessions in his heart.

His mind was clear, his spirit satisfied, and he was full of hope for the future.

Even Xiao Xiyue’s matter had some influence on him.

The latest novels are first published on 6_9_Shu_Ba!

But with the system by his side, he was full of confidence in his future.

He didn’t think it was a troublesome matter that required too much worry.

No matter how difficult, he just needed to wait until he formed his Core.

As long as he formed his Core, he could openly go to the Azure Cloud Sect to propose marriage.

Besides, he, Lu, still had a debt of love with a Core Formation expert.

And so, more than half a month passed.

Lu Changsheng woke up from his meditation and opened his eyes.

He felt that his energy, spirit, and essence had reached their peak, and his condition was perfect.

He could attempt to establish his Foundation at any time!

“Changsheng, there are still ten days until the night of the full moon. I plan to attempt to establish my Foundation on that day.”

“If you still need to continue preparing, we’ll wait until next month.”

At this time, Xiao Xiyue also woke up, opened her beautiful eyes, and said to Lu Changsheng.

Attempting to establish one’s Foundation is a major event.

One’s condition is very important.

Some people who attempt to establish their Foundation, in order to be safe, will even sit in meditation for several years, waiting for a moment of inspiration.

What she was waiting for was the night of the full moon, when the Taiyin energy would condense.

But this time may not necessarily be suitable for Lu Changsheng.

“I’m already prepared, I can do it at any time.”

Lu Changsheng said with a light smile.

There was a confident assurance in his voice.

In front of Xiao Xiyue, he didn’t hide his confidence and vigor too much.

“Okay.”

Xiao Xiyue looked at Lu Changsheng’s confident appearance, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

During this time, not only did Lu Changsheng learn more about her.

She also saw a Lu Changsheng who was different from usual.

“Xiyue, how is your preparation going? Are you confident?”

Lu Changsheng asked Xiao Xiyue.

He had a 99% certainty of establishing his Foundation, absolute confidence.

But he still hadn’t figured out Xiao Xiyue’s situation.

“50%.”

Xiao Xiyue said softly.

“Only 50%?”

Lu Changsheng’s heart paused slightly when he heard this.

“50% is enough.”

Xiao Xiyue said calmly, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly charm.

“Since you say it’s enough, then it must be enough.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t ask any more questions.

He had long discovered that Xiao Xiyue would occasionally reveal that noble, holy, and aloof appearance, like a bright moon in the nine heavens.

Knowing that the latter was still affected by her cultivation technique.

The problem with this 50% certainty probably wasn’t in the three stages of establishing the Foundation, supporting the Dao Platform.

But in the tribulation of love.

“Xiyue, is your cultivation complete?”

Lu Changsheng immediately asked.

“There’s still one step left. I hope you can help me when I establish my Foundation, Lu Lang.”

Xiao Xiyue’s ethereal temperament dissipated, revealing a sweet smile, and she said softly.

“Xiyue, tell me the truth, is there really this step?”

“If not, I don’t mind.”

“Moreover, with my current situation, I don’t need any secret techniques to successfully establish my Foundation.”

Lu Changsheng said.

He naturally knew what his help was.

When they were intimate before, Xiao Xiyue had told him that the time of establishing the Foundation was also the last step of her cultivation.

At that time, she would also use a secret technique to help him establish his Foundation.

But Lu Changsheng vaguely felt that her cultivation was almost complete, and whether or not there was this step was irrelevant.

“No.”

A pure and sweet smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Xiyue’s mouth, like an innocent little girl.

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

He didn’t expect Xiao Xiyue to be so straightforward.

“Since you asked, I naturally wouldn’t deceive you.”

Xiao Xiyue smiled happily, her delicate body fell into Lu Changsheng’s arms, allowing him to hold her tightly.

Her cheek pressed against his chest, she slowly and softly said: “But I just want to do this, I want to help you.”

“Because I want to tell you that my love for you, although it started from cultivation, is not limited to cultivation.”

Xiao Xiyue raised her head slightly, her clear and beautiful eyes met Lu Changsheng’s.

“Then you should also know that the fate between you and me cannot be broken off just because you say so.”

Lu Changsheng had been worried about affecting Xiao Xiyue’s state of mind, so he hadn’t said many things.

Now that the other party had said it so frankly, Lu Changsheng had less of this concern.

“Of course I know.”

Xiao Xiyue raised her head and kissed him full of love, saying: “You have so many beautiful wives and concubines, I think, as time goes by, you will naturally be able to forget me.”

“What if I can’t forget?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

“Changsheng, I’m sorry.”

Xiao Xiyue was slightly startled, and said with a trembling voice.

“What’s there to be sorry about? As long as you can successfully establish your Foundation, I will agree to anything.”

Lu Changsheng said quickly when he saw her like this.

He was afraid of affecting her mentality and her Foundation establishment.

After all, in his opinion, these things were not as important as current cultivation.

One must have cultivation before anything else. If cultivation fails, it will be even more troublesome in the future.

“Thank you, Changsheng.”

Xiao Xiyue said softly.

“Why are you saying this between you and me?”

Lu Changsheng held her delicate face and kissed her lips.

Azure Cloud Bazaar, core area.

“The Class A cave dwellings are all rented out?”

“I remember there was one left before, wasn’t there?”

A young man of twenty-four or five years old, with a handsome face, extraordinary bearing, and vigorous spirit, looked at the Manager Han in front of him and asked.

“Young Master Meng, Immortal Fairy Xiyue of Rainbow Cloud Peak came last month and rented this Class A cave dwelling.”

Manager Han looked at the white-robed youth in front of him and said respectfully.

“Junior Sister Xiyue, I remember she went down the mountain to train, didn’t she?”

“Moreover, if she wants to attempt to improve her cultivation, she can completely return to the sect and attempt to establish her Foundation under the protection of the sect master.”

The young man frowned slightly when he heard this.

“Alright, since Junior Sister Xiyue rented it, then forget it. Arrange a Class B cave dwelling for me.”

The young man didn’t say much, waved his hand, and said directly.

“Yes, Young Master Meng, please wait a moment, I will arrange it for you.”

Manager Han said immediately.
