Chapter 293: Building foundation Xiaoqing, Zhao Qingqing’s initiative

Half a month later.

Hong Yi arrived at Bihu Mountain.

He had also received an invitation from Zhao Qingqing.

So, this trip to Bihu Mountain was to accompany Lu Changsheng to Qingyun Sect.

He also came to visit his son, Hong Xuanji.

“It won’t be long before I can Breakthrough to Qi Refining Fifth Layer!”

Hong Yi was both surprised and delighted to hear his son’s words.

His son was now twenty-three years old and was about to Breakthrough to Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

This Cultivation speed had already surpassed most of his peers.

One must know that he, as the Father, was still at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer Cultivation.

“En, and Mountain Lord Lu let Lu teach me a profound Cultivation Technique.”

Hong Xuanji looked at his Father and said in a low voice.

“Profound Cultivation Technique?”

Hong Yi was shocked to hear this.

Although the Father and son had corresponded by letter, his son had not mentioned this matter in the letters.

Hearing this now, he was momentarily speechless.

“Lu Daoist’s kindness is such that I, Hong Yi, have no way to repay it.”

Hong Yi felt heavy-hearted, not expecting the other party to be willing to take care of his son like this.

Thinking of their thirty years of acquaintance, and how he had also received much help from Lu Changsheng to achieve what he had today, he said in a deep voice, “Xuanji, Cultivate and work in Bihu Mountain with peace of mind.”

“If anything happens, you can ask your Senior Brother Quanzhen more, or write to your Father.”

Hong Yi said so.

Since Lu Quanzhen had been training in the mortal world in his early years, he had always encouraged his son to spend time with Lu Quanzhen, and their relationship was very good.

“Your child understands.”

Hong Xuanji responded in a low voice.

His appearance was very similar to his Father, Hong Yi.

But compared to Hong Yi in his youth, he had less arrogance and more composure.

Lu Changsheng learned that Hong Yi had arrived and came to the reception hall.

“Hong Xiong!”

“Mountain Lord Lu.”

Both immediately said respectfully.

“Haha, Hong Xiong, Xuanji.”

Lu Changsheng, in a green Cultivator’s robe, smiled, looking relaxed and natural.

“Xuanji has caused trouble for Lu Daoist these past years.”

Hong Yi said politely to Lu Changsheng.

He was dressed in a purple brocade robe, wearing a purple-gold crown, and having lived a life of ease and held a high position for a long time, he exuded an aura of authority without needing to be angry.

But when facing Lu Changsheng, he subconsciously kept his posture very low.

“Haha, Hong Xiong is too polite. Xuanji has performed very well these past years. How can you say he caused trouble?”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said.

Since his son Lu Quanzhen went out, Hong Xuanji had also been one of the persons in charge at the wine-making workshop, and his conduct and ability were both excellent.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng learned from his wife Qu Zhenzhen that due to Lu Quanzhen’s relationship, his daughter Lu Caizhen and Hong Xuanji had become quite close.

Immediately, the two sat down and chatted, reminiscing.

“I never thought that among the six of us, three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators would emerge. This alone is enough for me to boast for many years, and I will have no regrets in this life.”

Hong Yi smiled and exclaimed.

He truly hadn’t expected that the six of them had been jointly escorted to Qingyun Sect to participate in the Immortal Sect assessment.

As a result, thirty years later, three of them successively Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

“Hong Xiong is still young. If he focuses on Cultivating, he might also be able to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng saw Hong Yi’s Cultivation, Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

If he really pushed himself, he might have a chance to attempt Foundation Establishment around sixty years old.

Although the hope of successful Foundation Establishment was very slim.

“Lu Daoist is joking. Foundation Establishment is something I wouldn’t dare to hope for.”

Hong Yi shook his head and laughed.

Even though three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators appeared around him.

But for him, such a thing was still out of reach, something he dared not dream of.

Currently, a high-grade Breakthrough Pill was not a small sum for him, and he was reluctant to buy it.

Moreover, now that his son Hong Xuanji was so promising, if he, as the Father, could save up a fortune, perhaps his son could hope to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in the future.

“Haha…”

Lu Changsheng smiled and did not dwell on this topic.

He knew that after Hong Yi became Ruyi Marquis, he gradually lost his pursuit of immortal Cultivation.

And given his age and Spiritual Root, unless he had a great Opportunity, there was indeed no possibility of Foundation Establishment.

The two simply reminisced, stayed at Bihu Mountain for two days, and then headed to Qingyun Sect.

Three days later.

A flying boat landed in front of Qingyun Sect’s mountain gate.

Lu Changsheng took out a communication talisman.

Not long after, a green streak of light flew from within the mountain gate, emanating a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Pressure.

“Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle!”

“Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle!”

The Disciples guarding the mountain gate immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing this.

Although they might not necessarily recognize the newcomer.

But in Qingyun Sect, Qi Refining Cultivators always addressed Foundation Establishment Cultivators as Junior Martial Uncle.

“Lu Daoyou, Hong Daoyou.”

The newcomer was none other than Zhao Qingqing.

Her skin was fair, her figure tall and slender, dressed in a green skirt, her dark and beautiful hair simply tied up, with a plum blossom jade hairpin inserted diagonally, and a faint smile on her beautiful face.

After Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, her temperament was extraordinary, and the fresh, vibrant aura of plants and trees around her became even more intense, like a secluded orchid in a valley, refreshing and pleasant.

“Daoist Zhao, congratulations on your Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi cupped their hands.

Then they presented the prepared congratulatory gifts.

“Thank you, two Fellow Daoists. Two Fellow Daoists, please come in.”

Zhao Qingqing accepted the gifts, and her eyes, looking at Lu Changsheng, revealed a hint of tenderness.

When Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, one would adjust their state well to ensure full vitality and clear thoughts.

Before her Breakthrough, she had questioned her true self and understood many things.

Immediately, the three entered the mountain gate and arrived at a mountain peak with green pines and cypresses, flying waterfalls and springs, a thousand feet high, and full of palaces, landing halfway up the mountain.

“The Spiritual Vein of this Qingyun Sect is truly vast.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the many mountain peaks in Qingyun Sect, estimating that each one was at least a second-tier Spiritual Vein, and he couldn’t help but feel envious.

Zhao Qingqing’s small Foundation Establishment celebration was held in her Immortal Cave.

This Immortal Cave was not large, roughly seven or eight mu.

But it had a main courtyard, quiet room, garden, pond, Spiritual Field, medicine garden, and animal pen, all complete.

At this time, many Cultivators were gathered in the main hall.

Most of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with only a small number of Qi Refining Cultivators.

Although it was a small Foundation Establishment celebration, in Qingyun Sect, Foundation Establishment Cultivators also held a certain weight, considered to be middle-tier.

So, whenever someone Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, many fellow Disciples and friends would come to congratulate and make connections.

Especially female Cultivators like Zhao Qingqing, who were skilled in spiritual plants and pharmacology, and had a wood-attribute body, making them suitable for logistics, many people came with ulterior motives.

The moment the three walked into the hall, many gazes fell directly on them.

Hong Yi’s face immediately turned pale, and he felt heavy all over, almost collapsing to the ground.

There were more than ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators here.

Although they did not deliberately release their Foundation Establishment Spiritual Pressure, they did not fully restrain it either.

So, with such concentrated gazes, it was a huge pressure for ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators.

Lu Changsheng’s body was enveloped in an invisible Spiritual Pressure, making Hong Yi feel a sudden release.

“This is my good friend, Bi Hu Mountain Lord Lu Changsheng.”

“This is my good friend Hong Yi.”

“Lu Daoyou, Hong Daoyou, please take a seat. These are all my Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of the same sect, no need to be polite.”

Zhao Qingqing immediately spoke up to introduce them and ease the awkwardness.

“Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng!?”

“He is Bi Hu Mountain Lord Lu Changsheng, so handsome!”

“It is rumored that this Bi Hu Mountain Lord is unparalleled in beauty, and it is true.”

Everyone in the hall looked at Lu Changsheng upon hearing Zhao Qingqing’s introduction.

Although they were Disciples of Qingyun Sect.

But they had heard of the name of Bi Hu Mountain Lord Lu Changsheng.

Whether it was killing the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Yu Family, or suppressing the Xiahou Demon, or suppressing the six rogue Cultivators in Hongye Valley Market a few years ago, all made his name widely known.

“This humble one, Liu Ruyan, has long admired Mountain Lord Lu’s great name. Today, I am fortunate to meet you, and I should toast Mountain Lord Lu a cup.”

A voluptuous female Cultivator in a yellow skirt spoke, raising her wine cup and smilingly greeting Lu Changsheng.

“I am Fang Hong, greetings, Lu Daoyou.”

“This humble one, Wu Jiujiu, greetings, Lu Daoyou.”

“I am…”

Immediately, several Cultivators in the hall enthusiastically greeted Lu Changsheng.

Although as Immortal Sect Disciples, they usually looked down on Loose Cultivators and small Family forces.

But for someone like Lu Changsheng, who had outstanding combat power and was also a top-tier second-grade talisman Master, they were naturally very willing to make connections.

“Lu Daoyou, Hong Daoyou.”

Han Lin also came to attend this small celebration and greeted Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi.

“Haha, Han Daoyou.”

Hong Yi cupped his hands towards Han Lin and took a seat nearby.

He knew that this kind of gathering was not his world.

Not all Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators were like Lu Changsheng, who would remember old friendships and be willing to make connections with him.

“Haha, everyone is too polite.”

Lu Changsheng quickly blended in with the enthusiastic greetings from these people.

He was somewhat surprised that Xiao Xiyue hadn’t come.

Although the relationship between Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing wasn’t particularly close, she should have come to congratulate her at such a small Foundation Establishment celebration.

Upon asking, he learned that Xiao Xiyue had gone on a mission due to the Xiahou Demon incident.

While drinking and chatting with everyone, Lu Changsheng noticed a plump Cultivator occasionally looking at him, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

After a brief observation, he learned this person’s identity.

It was the grandson of Zhao Qingqing’s Master, named ‘Lu Gongliang,’ who had failed his Foundation Establishment Breakthrough three years ago.

Lu Changsheng roughly guessed why the other party harbored resentment.

However, as long as the other party didn’t provoke him, Lu Changsheng couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to him.

This small celebration lasted for a long time. During the process, some people left temporarily, and others came to congratulate and join in midway.

As night fell, they had eaten and drunk their fill.

“Lu Daoyou, Hong Daoyou, it’s getting late now. Why don’t you stay here for the night?”

Zhao Qingqing said to Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi.

“Since that’s the case, we’ll trouble Daoist Zhao.”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said.

He had also planned to visit his children on this trip.

Now that it was late and he had drunk so much, it wasn’t convenient to go there.

Immediately, Zhao Qingqing settled the two of them down.

“Lu Daoyou.”

After Zhao Qingqing escorted Lu Changsheng to his room, she did not leave immediately.

“En, what’s wrong?”

Lu Changsheng looked at Zhao Qingqing, dressed in a green skirt, tall and slender, and refreshingly elegant.

She had drunk a lot of wine, and her beautiful, elegant face was flushed with a hint of red, giving her a touch of alluring charm.

Although Cultivators could use their spiritual power to dispel drunkenness.

Most Cultivators would not do so.

After all, this would not only diminish the joy of drinking but also dispel the effects of the spiritual wine.

“If not for Lu Daoyou’s excellent Foundation Establishment Pill, Qingqing would certainly not have been able to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment this time, so thank you, Lu Daoyou.”

Zhao Qingqing’s beautiful eyes flowed with tenderness, her face filled with gratitude, and she bowed gracefully.

Although she successfully Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

But it was only by experiencing the Foundation Establishment process that she understood its difficulty.

She knew that if she hadn’t had Lu Changsheng’s Foundation Establishment Pill for this Foundation Establishment attempt, with the vein-protecting pills she had originally prepared, she would definitely have failed the Breakthrough.

“Daoist Zhao is too polite. Being able to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment is mainly due to yourself; the Foundation Establishment Pill is merely icing on the cake.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and gently waved his hand, indicating that she didn’t need to be so polite.

“Lu Daoyou’s kindness is such that Qingqing is ashamed and doesn’t know how to repay it.”

Zhao Qingqing was very tall, and her flushed face looked at Lu Changsheng.

Then, as if gathering courage, she grasped Lu Changsheng’s hand, her eyes filled with shyness.

Lu Changsheng was slightly stunned, his hand grasped by Zhao Qingqing’s soft and delicate one.

Then, a intoxicating, rich and fragrant scent wafted to his nose, and he saw a pair of beautiful eyes, filled with tenderness and shyness, looking at him.

“Lu Daoyou said before…”

Zhao Qingqing’s face was full of shyness, and she spoke softly.

However, before she could finish her sentence, a warm breath enveloped her face, and she felt her lips being held.

Lu Changsheng tightly embraced the beauty in front of him, skillfully plundering the sweetness.

Since Zhao Qingqing was so proactive, he naturally wouldn’t be polite or pretend to be a gentleman.

After all, in such matters, if he wasn’t proactive enough and seized the Opportunity, he might miss it.

“Mmm~”

Before this sudden storm, Zhao Qingqing’s delicate body trembled, taut and numb.

Then, she felt a large hand beginning to explore the towering peaks on her chest, causing waves of numbness throughout her body, and her straight, slender legs went soft, unable to stand steadily.

Facing such a situation, she could only raise her jade arms and gently drape them around Lu Changsheng’s neck.

“Gently… I… I can’t breathe…”

Who knew how much time had passed, the recently Breakthrough Foundation Establishment Zhao Qingqing was breathing heavily.

Her beautiful and elegant face was flushed crimson, her dark and beautiful silky hair was disheveled, and her clear and bright eyes held both affection and shyness.

Her green skirt was also full of wrinkles from the embrace.

“Qingqing…”

Lu Changsheng held Zhao Qingqing’s fair hand, looking at her with deep affection.

“Lu Lang… please cherish…”

Zhao Qingqing’s eyes were hazy with wine, her face flushed, her head shyly bowed, and she spoke with some nervousness and timidity.

As soon as her words fell, her lips were again forcefully taken.

Undoubtedly, this was the prelude.

The two intimately walked towards the bed, accompanied by rustling sounds.

The green skirt began to slide down, revealing a dazzling sight, and her skin, as fair as jade, was exposed.

In a short while, the beauty was left with only a pair of green embroidered shoes and white silk stockings wrapped around her jade feet.

Zhao Qingqing had a very good figure, well-proportioned.

But what was most attractive were her rounded, slender, and firm legs, which were not only long but also plump and taut.

Perhaps due to her Cultivation Technique, her skin was also very fair and smooth, and it exuded a refreshing fragrance.

“Qingqing.”

Lu Changsheng carried the beauty onto the bed, wanting to say something.

But seeing her shy expression, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness and timidity, looking as if she was ready to be plucked, he said no more.

At this moment, silence was more eloquent than words!

Under the hazy night, the two figures in the room gradually merged into one.

The next day, the morning light pierced through layers of clouds and mist, shining through the window into the pavilion room.

Zhao Qingqing woke up, her hair disheveled, her skin, like white jade, was rosy and translucent, shimmering with a crystal-like luster.

She was completely naked, with only a pair of white silk stockings wrapped around her exquisite jade feet.

“You’re awake.”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng woke up and said with a warm smile.

His expression was calm and natural, like a couple who had been in love for many years, very natural.

Zhao Qingqing looked at the handsome face and strong, powerful physique before her, and her face flushed slightly.

Although she had been slightly tipsy last night, she was mostly sober, just using the alcohol for courage.

She just hadn’t expected that her long-酝酿 courage had just taken its first step when Lu Changsheng became incredibly proactive, and then her brain felt like mush.

“En.”

Zhao Qingqing responded softly, momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, although she was prepared, she hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly.

“Do you have anything else today? If not, then rest well for a while.”

Lu Changsheng said warmly.

“I have just Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, and there are still some new duties in the sect that I need to familiarize myself with…”

Zhao Qingqing spoke, her voice somewhat hoarse and alluring.

“Has your Master given you any more trouble?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

He knew that Zhao Qingqing had not been given important positions over the years due to her Master’s actions, and could only rely on herself.

“Master only neglected me before, and did not overly make things difficult for me. Now that I have Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, he took the initiative to visit and arranged many matters in the medicine garden for me.”

Zhao Qingqing said softly.

This Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment also made her see more of the world’s cold realities.

For example, during the small Foundation Establishment celebration, many fellow Disciples whom she had never met, or were not very close to, came to congratulate her.

Even her Master, at the first moment of her Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, congratulated her and expressed goodwill.

It was precisely because of this that she felt even more deeply about Lu Changsheng’s timely help, feeling that such kindness was impossible to repay.
