Chapter 273: Xu Ruyin: This is my only chance in this life!
Azure Lake Mountain.
Mount Sumeru Grotto-heaven.
Lu Changsheng was currently recounting the events of the Red Maple Valley market to Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue.
“I didn’t expect that a Qi Refining rogue cultivator who fled back then would not only break through to Foundation Establishment after ten years but also bring four Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators with him.”
Ling Zixiao drank the spiritual wine brewed by Lu Changsheng, sighing with emotion.
Five Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators, two of whom were in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, this strength, not to mention in a small place like the Red Maple Valley market.
Even in the Nine Heavens Immortal City, it was a force to be reckoned with.
In her opinion, this group of rogue cultivators was simply too unlucky, running into Lu Changsheng.
If it weren’t for Lu Changsheng, the Red Maple Valley market and the four major families would have all fallen into the hands of this group of rogue cultivators.
Compared to Ling Zixiao’s calm and composure, Xiao Xiyue was more surprised.
Although she knew that Lu Changsheng had many trump cards and methods.
She never expected that Lu Changsheng’s combat power would be so astonishing.
However, thinking of the Tier 3 talismans, her daughter’s pet beast, the Sumeru Tree King, the Spirit Eye Spring, and so on, she felt a little relieved.
“Yes, this person should have had some great opportunities.”
“In his hands, he not only obtained a talisman treasure but also a heretical-grade cultivation technique and a treasure map of an ancient relic.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile, not hiding anything from the two women.
“Heretical-grade cultivation technique, treasure map? Ancient relic?”
Ling Zixiao was somewhat surprised to hear this.
Whether it was a heretical-grade cultivation technique or such an opportunity related to an ancient relic, they were both extremely rare.
To have such things on him, he must have had a great encounter and obtained a great opportunity.
“Zixiao, you can take a look if you’re interested.”
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng took out the ‘Firmament Wheel Revolving Sutra’ and the treasure map for the two women to examine.
The two women felt a warm current in their hearts when they saw Lu Changsheng giving them such rare treasures without hesitation.
After Xiao Xiyue finished reading this cultivation technique, she commented, “This cultivation technique is suitable for cultivators with earth-attribute spiritual roots, concurrently cultivating the body, steady and solid, and beneficial for breaking through bottlenecks. It can be considered a top-notch cultivation technique, but it’s incomplete and can only be cultivated to the Core Formation stage.”
“That’s right, it’s already considered a top-level cultivation technique. If there are people in the family who can comprehend and cultivate it, it would be very good.”
Lu Changsheng said.
He would put all the cultivation techniques he obtained into his family’s Scripture Pavilion.
The children could choose to cultivate according to their comprehension and spiritual root attributes.
If there were those with extraordinary talents, he, the old father, would personally teach the system’s cultivation techniques.
“Husband, the relic on this treasure map seems to be in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.”
At this time, Ling Zixiao, looking at the treasure map, said.
“Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range?”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.
He had only taken a quick glance at this treasure map when he got it and hadn’t really looked at it in detail.
“I’m not very interested in this kind of thing. I plan to auction off this treasure map at the market’s auction. I think it can fetch a good price.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
He himself had no interest in this kind of treasure map or ancient relic.
So he planned to sell it for money.
There were many cultivators in the cultivation world who were interested in this kind of relic and secret realm.
Some cultivators even specialized in purchasing information related to relics and cave dwellings, going to explore them one by one.
“Husband, if you put it in the Red Maple Valley market, it might be a little difficult to auction off for a good price.”
Ling Zixiao chuckled.
Indicating that most of the surrounding cultivators were in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and there were relatively few rogue cultivators.
In this situation, not many people were willing to pay a high price.
Moreover, treasure maps were generally a buyout, so after one auction, the price would be difficult to sell for later.
“We’ll see when the time comes.”
Lu Changsheng said casually.
He was relatively casual about this kind of thing, thinking that it would be fine as long as it was worth the money.
“Mm~”
Ling Zixiao didn’t say much, picking up the ‘Firmament Wheel Revolving Sutra’ and starting to read it.
Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered that the cultivation technique Ling Zixiao was practicing was still a refined-grade cultivation technique.
Now that Ling Zixiao’s meridians and dantian were gradually improving, it was estimated that in another three to five years, she could try to cultivate it.
Although a refined-grade cultivation technique was already good, if his family had the conditions, he naturally had to give Ling Zixiao a higher-level cultivation technique.
Lu Changsheng thought of his current cultivation techniques, and for a moment, he didn’t know which one was suitable for her.
Like the Seven Luminaries and Hundred Refinements, they felt okay, but they couldn’t be said to be suitable.
The Yin-Yang Harmony Art and the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture were obviously not very suitable.
The Black Dragon Codex was alright, but Lu Changsheng still had some selfish intentions.
As for the Grand One Water Genesis Scripture, this cultivation technique could only be cultivated one-on-one. Currently, he and Lu Miaoge were cultivating it, so Ling Zixiao naturally had no way to cultivate it.
“Let’s wait and see, or maybe see what Zixiao thinks at that time.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself, planning to see if he could draw a cultivation technique suitable for Ling Zixiao later.
“Husband, what’s wrong?”
Ling Zixiao saw Lu Changsheng looking at her in a daze, as if he was thinking about something, and asked softly.
“It’s nothing. I also obtained a Tier 2 Array Dao inheritance and Array Dao insights from the rogue cultivators. See if it’s useful.”
Lu Changsheng smiled indifferently, taking out the inheritance he had obtained from the effeminate man.
Although Ling Zixiao herself was a Tier 2 Array Master.
As a Talisman Master, Alchemist, Puppet Master, Brewer, and Spirit Butcher, he clearly knew that each skill was very complicated.
Unless one had a cheat like himself, otherwise, whether it was inheritance or an individual, it was impossible to contain everything.
“Tier 2 Array Dao inheritance, Array insights?”
Ling Zixiao heard this, revealing a few traces of joy, and took the two jade slips.
“Xiyue, come, see if you like any of these spiritual artifacts.”
At this time, Lu Changsheng took out several spiritual artifacts and said to Xiao Xiyue.
When it came to giving gifts, one naturally couldn’t favor one over the other.
“I already have two spiritual artifacts, these are not needed.”
Xiao Xiyue glanced at them, revealing a few traces of a smile, and said softly.
“Alright.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t force it, knowing that Xiao Xiyue wasn’t a polite person.
He continued, “Zixiao, Xiyue, I plan to go into seclusion for a period of time in the next few days.”
“If there is anything in the family or the Red Maple Valley market, then I’ll trouble you to handle it.”
Lu Changsheng said, preparing to go into seclusion to refine pills.
“Okay, husband, rest assured.”
Ling Zixiao said with a light smile.
“If there are any problems in the market, I will go over.”
Xiao Xiyue nodded gently.
“Alright, then I’ll trouble you.”
Lu Changsheng smiled.
After spending three days accompanying his wives and children at home, Lu Changsheng came to the alchemy room and began to retreat to refine pills.
Although he had Tier 2 max-level alchemy, he had not yet refined Foundation Establishment Pills.
In order to be more cautious and to deal with any problems in the alchemy process, Lu Changsheng was also prepared to refine a few furnaces of ‘Spirit Nourishing Pills’ and ‘Intelligence Opening Pills’ to get a feel for it first.
Moreover, after a while, Xu Renguang would send ten Green Horn Fish and Black Jade Pythons.
To refine these twenty demonic beasts into Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers, he also had to prepare some nurturing pills in advance.
A month later.
The simple and empty alchemy room.
“Hoo hoo hoo—”
Lu Changsheng stared intently at the Purple Cloud Pill Furnace in front of him, constantly making hand seals, using the fire control technique to control the earth fire.
He didn’t know how long had passed, seeing the spiritual energy permeating in the pill furnace, with wisps of medicinal fragrance spreading, he immediately cast a series of spells into the pill furnace.
Then he shouted in a deep voice, casting the furnace opening spell: “Open!”
“Buzz!”
The lid of the furnace opened with a bang, billowing hot air rising, and a brilliant glow spreading.
“Collect!”
Lu Changsheng looked at the billowing hot air, and took three Foundation Establishment Pills with surging spiritual light into his palm.
The spiritual light of the Foundation Establishment Pills gradually faded, revealing three Foundation Establishment Pills with a crystal-clear color, plump and moist, and overflowing with medicinal fragrance.
“Three pills were successfully made, but only one is a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, and the other two are only high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.”
“As expected, it’s still a bit lacking to refine Foundation Establishment Pills for the first time.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the pill patterns on the pills and let out a long breath.
Knowing that it was not so easy to refine three top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.
It not only required alchemy skills but also had high requirements for the pill furnace and earth fire.
However, three pills were successfully made, one top-grade and two high-grade. If this were to spread, it would be incredibly shocking, and countless people would immediately come to him begging to refine pills.
“But it’s enough. A top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill can increase the probability of Foundation Establishment by more than 30%.”
“Giving this top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill to Green Bamboo Mountain, shouldn’t it fail then?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, muttering in his heart.
Like a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill, it could increase the probability of Foundation Establishment by more than 20%.
A high-grade pill had a 30% chance, and a top-grade pill had more than 30%.
Although the gap didn’t seem big.
This bit of medicinal effect was enough to make the price of the pill several times more expensive.
Considering that only success was allowed on Green Bamboo Mountain’s side, Lu Changsheng prepared to give this top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill to Green Bamboo Mountain.
Like Bai Ling’s talent, he felt that the Foundation Establishment Pill was just for insurance.
After putting the three Foundation Establishment Pills into three porcelain bottles respectively, Lu Changsheng walked out of the alchemy room and came to the Lu family mansion.
“Husband, the Xu family ancestor came half a month ago.”
Lu Miaoyun saw Lu Changsheng, immediately revealing joy.
Telling him that the Xu family ancestor had sent twenty aquatic demonic beasts.
Since Lu Changsheng was in seclusion, she didn’t disturb him, so she directly agreed, paying 5,000 spirit stones.
Currently, these demonic beasts are still in the spirit beast bag.
“Okay, this is what I discussed with Old Ancestor Xu before, the price is not a problem.”
Lu Changsheng said gently.
According to the price Xu Renguang said before, this was still giving himself a whole number, with a lot of discounts.
Then Lu Miaoyun said that three days ago, she finally established a connection with the Spirit Enlightenment Treasure Tree, making this treasure tree her natal spiritual plant.
Next, she could begin to refine the Spirit Enlightenment Treasure Tree into her natal spiritual root.
However, once the refinement of the natal spiritual root began, she could not leave the spiritual plant too far during the period.
So she wanted to take advantage of this time to go back to Green Bamboo Mountain to live for a while and accompany her grandmother.
“Yun’er, I’ll accompany you over in a few days.”
Lu Changsheng heard this, holding his嬌 wife’s 素 hand, and said gently.
Knowing that once she began to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, Lu Miaoyun would not be able to leave Azure Lake Mountain.
Coincidentally, he also had to go to Green Bamboo Mountain to tell about the Foundation Establishment Pill.
After accompanying his wives, concubines, and children at home for a few days, Lu Changsheng took Lu Miaoyun and several children to Green Bamboo Mountain.
Since his son Lu Yun had now married a wife and taken two concubines, and they were all pregnant, Lu Changsheng let him continue to stay at home and didn’t let him come along.
After all, his son was so old, there was no need to bring him along all the time like a child.
“Grandma.”
Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun came to the Fourth Elder’s courtyard.
At this moment, Fourth Elder was instructing several members of the Lu family on enlightenment talismans.
The newest novels are first released on 69shu.com!
“Changsheng, Yun’er, Xiaoyu, you’ve arrived.”
Fourth Elder immediately revealed a smile on her face.
She took the second-order longevity pill given by Lu Changsheng, and her complexion improved a lot.
“Greetings, Ancestor, greetings, Aunt, Great-Aunt!”
These Lu family members, some called Lu Miaoyun Aunt, and some, who were in their teens, called her Great-Aunt.
However, their gazes towards Lu Changsheng were filled with respect, admiration, and reverence.
Those of them who had some talent in talisman-making could be said to have grown up listening to Lu Changsheng’s stories.
They knew that Lu Changsheng had risen step by step from a Lu family son-in-law, starting from talisman-making, to become a Foundation Establishment Ancestor who was now famous in the region!
“Haha, we’re all family, no need to be polite.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t put on airs and waved his hand.
Then, he asked Lu Miaoyun to chat with Fourth Elder, while he lectured these Lu family members.
“Thank you for your hard work, Changsheng.”
Fourth Elder’s face was full of smiles when she heard Lu Changsheng lecturing.
Lu Changsheng, with his current status and position, still respected her, his grandmother, so much, which really made her feel gratified and moved.
“Father-in-law, I have something to discuss with you and Uncle.”
Early the next morning, Lu Changsheng found Lu Yuanding, and then went with him to see Lu Yuanzhong, preparing to reveal the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Afterwards, the two came to Lu Yuanzhong’s cave.
Hearing that Lu Changsheng had something to say, Lu Yuanzhong was also very serious and asked what it was.
Under their gazes, Lu Changsheng took out a white jade porcelain bottle.
The porcelain bottle was opened, and a burst of medicinal fragrance filled the air, revealing a pill with a crystal-clear color and three faint silver lines.
“This is . . .”
Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding looked at the pill in the porcelain bottle, and their expressions shook, revealing surprise, shock, joy, and other expressions in their eyes.
“That’s right, this is a Foundation Establishment Pill.”
Lu Changsheng looked at their expressions and said with a smile.
“Changsheng, where did you get this Foundation Establishment Pill?”
“Three pill patterns, this, this, this . . . this is a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill!”
Lu Yuanding and Lu Yuanzhong were extremely shocked, never expecting that Lu Changsheng would actually take out a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Although Lu Miaoge had briefly mentioned Lu Miaofeng and Lu Muping’s Foundation Establishment before.
But they really didn’t consider the Foundation Establishment Pill.
“I obtained a copy of the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill from the hands of a rogue cultivator and asked someone to refine it.”
Lu Changsheng explained.
“Changsheng, what are you planning to do with this Foundation Establishment Pill?”
Although the two had guessed what Lu Changsheng meant by taking out this pill, they still couldn’t believe it.
“Father-in-law, Uncle, you also know that Miaoge and I cultivate a dual cultivation technique. If the two of us cultivate together, the speed will be much faster.”
“So I was thinking that if there is a new Foundation Establishment cultivator in the family, Miaoge can calm down and cultivate.”
Lu Changsheng said.
“Changsheng, the Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely precious, and I am naturally very touched that you are willing to take it out.”
“But this Foundation Establishment Pill, our family really feels ashamed to accept it. You set a price, and we will prepare the spirit stones as soon as possible.”
Lu Yuanzhong took a deep breath and said.
He had long clearly realized that the closer the two families were, the more attention they had to pay, and only by distinguishing clearly in terms of interests could they avoid gaps.
Moreover, if they took all the advantages, not only would their own family be inferior, but also Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoyun, and others who married Lu Changsheng would be affected.
“Well, in that case, let’s make it twenty thousand spirit stones.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t force it and quoted a price.
The price of a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill is generally around twenty thousand spirit stones.
However, if there is competition at the auction, it will generally be a bit more expensive.
Then, a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill can even sell for thirty thousand spirit stones.
Lu Changsheng originally intended to give this Foundation Establishment Pill as a gift.
But after chatting with Lu Miaoge before, and now Lu Yuanzhong took the initiative to mention it, he simply sold it at half the price.
“How can this be? A genuine Foundation Establishment Pill is at least twenty thousand spirit stones. Changsheng, your Foundation Establishment Pill is a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, at least thirty thousand spirit stones!”
“How can our family let you suffer a loss!”
Lu Yuanzhong immediately shook his head and said.
“Uncle, I also know the current situation of the family, and Miaoge also contributed greatly to killing the rogue cultivators this time.”
“Moreover, you don’t need to rush for spirit stones or anything, you can owe it first.”
Lu Changsheng smiled.
He knew the current situation of Green Bamboo Mountain. Unless they sold off the family’s property, they would definitely not be able to take out two or thirty thousand spirit stones.
“Changsheng . . .”
Lu Yuanding looked at the son-in-law in front of him, patted him heavily on the shoulder, his eyes a little red, and he was very moved.
As the former head of the Lu family, he naturally had deep feelings for the family and hoped that Green Bamboo Mountain would get better and better.
Now, with the help of Lu Changsheng, not only did his daughter Lu Miaoge break through to Foundation Establishment, but his elder brother’s injuries were also treated.
Lu Changsheng also took out an extremely rare Foundation Establishment Pill, willing to give it to his family and sell it to his family at a low price, which really made him not know what to say.
He felt that the best thing he had done in his life was to bring Lu Changsheng back to the Lu family and marry his daughter to Lu Changsheng.
“Now my family’s children are still young, and they don’t need this Foundation Establishment Pill yet, Father-in-law, you can accept it.”
“It’s just that after someone in the family breaks through to Foundation Establishment, you may have to work hard.”
Lu Changsheng said.
He had some selfish motives for giving this Foundation Establishment Pill to Green Bamboo Mountain, hoping that Lu Miaoge could live in Bihu Mountain with peace of mind.
“Changsheng, how about this, the price is still set at thirty thousand spirit stones, but the spirit stones will be temporarily owed.”
“Because the family currently only has one Foundation Establishment spiritual object, and we still need to acquire two suitable Foundation Establishment spiritual objects.”
Lu Yuanding took a deep breath and said.
Now that Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge were in charge, Green Bamboo Mountain was already on a steady rise.
If another Foundation Establishment cultivator broke through in the family, the entire family would have no worries for the next hundred years, and the income would naturally increase greatly.
So, it would be much easier to repay the spirit stones at that time.
“Okay.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t force it when he heard this.
If Green Bamboo Mountain was really struggling to make ends meet, he would let Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan give them some pointers at that time.
“Changsheng, currently, Miaofeng and Muping are the only ones in the family who are expected to break through to Foundation Establishment. Who do you think is suitable?”
At this time, Lu Yuanzhong asked.
Although he and Lu Changsheng were both Foundation Establishment cultivators, he knew that Lu Changsheng was obviously on a higher level than him.
“I don’t know about this either. Uncle, you can acquire suitable Foundation Establishment spiritual objects first, and then decide based on the situation of the Foundation Establishment spiritual objects.”
Lu Changsheng pondered slightly.
“Okay, when we acquire the Foundation Establishment spiritual objects and prepare for the Foundation Establishment matters, we will discuss it properly.”
Lu Yuanzhong nodded.
After speaking, he continued: “Changsheng, you and Miaoge are now at the height of your fame, and I think it’s not easy to rush the Foundation Establishment matter.”
“If someone else in the family breaks through to Foundation Establishment, it will not be good for you, it may cause trouble, and even our two families may arouse the jealousy of other families.”
Lu Yuanzhong said.
“We’ll see about that then.”
Lu Changsheng felt that there was indeed some truth to this.
“Brother, now that Changsheng and Miaoge are in charge, we can send Miaofeng or Muping to Qingyun Workshop to establish their foundation.”
“In this way, we will not reveal the Foundation Establishment matters of our family to the outside world for the time being, and let him be stationed in Green Bamboo Mountain, and you, brother, can be stationed in the Red Maple Valley Workshop.”
Lu Yuanding, who was beside him, said.
Seeing this Foundation Establishment Pill, he had already imagined the day when his Green Bamboo Mountain would have three Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed there.
“Not bad, that’s feasible.”
Lu Yuanzhong also nodded with a smile.
Lu Changsheng looked at the two of them discussing the matters after the Foundation Establishment before there was even a hint of progress, and didn’t know what to say.
In this way, the three of them settled the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Lu Changsheng stayed in Green Bamboo Mountain for half a month before returning to Bihu Mountain with Lu Miaoyun.
During this period, Lu Miaoge also returned to Green Bamboo Mountain because she went to Bihu Mountain to treat Ling Zixiao. After learning about the Foundation Establishment Pill, she was also very moved.
Yu Shui Xu Family.
“Go out for training? No, absolutely not!”
Xu Renguang watched his precious granddaughter tame the Skyfire Sable, his whole person smiling.
But when he heard that Xu Ruyin wanted to go out for training, he frowned and refused decisively.
After all, he couldn’t bear to let such a precious granddaughter go out for training. What if something unexpected happened?
Now Xu Ruyin was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the family had already prepared the Foundation Establishment Pill and Foundation Establishment spiritual objects.
As long as Xu Ruyin reached the peak of Qi Refining, she could attempt to establish her foundation!
“Grandpa, I was thinking of coming back to break through to Foundation Establishment after going out for training.”
“Didn’t you often say that we cultivators should be brave and diligent, and only by experiencing enough tempering can we achieve great achievements in the future!”
Xu Ruyin had a head of fiery red hair, wearing a magnificent gold-red dress, and her voice was clear.
“No, no, if you want to train, you can, but after you break through to Foundation Establishment, Grandpa can let you go out for training, but not now.”
Xu Renguang shook his head constantly and said earnestly: “Ruyin, you should cultivate well at home now. After you break through to Foundation Establishment, Grandpa will arrange for you to go to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range for training.”
“Our main family has a stronghold in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, which can be used for family disciples to train. You can train however you want at that time.”
When Xu Ruyin heard the words ‘main family’, a few traces of coldness suddenly appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face.
“Ruyin, be obedient.”
Xu Renguang sighed slightly as he looked at his granddaughter’s appearance.
His son was crippled, and he, as a father, was naturally extremely angry.
But this kind of thing was justified in the clan competition, and he couldn’t do anything about it.
“I know, Grandpa.”
Xu Ruyin nodded and didn’t say anything more.
After returning to her room, Xu Ruyin clenched her fists tightly, muttering to herself: “Only by contracting a Heaven-Rank demon beast can I condense the ‘Heavenly Beast Dao Foundation’ and avenge my father . . . Now that the Heaven-Rank demon beast is right in front of me, it is my only chance in this life, I must not give up . . .”
“Senior Honglian!”
