Chapter 403: Drawing talismans in the void, storage boxes!
“Controlling insects is ultimately a minor path, only to be used as a means. If one becomes too obsessed and delays cultivation, it would be putting the cart before the horse and a losing proposition.”
“Remember, cultivation and Taoist practice are fundamental.”
Lu Changsheng continued speaking to his son, Lu Chensha.
The latter possessed a fifth-grade spiritual root, which could be considered a good talent.
Although there were some bumps in the road during the initial cultivation of the Beast Manual, which delayed some time,
with the current benefits of the Lu family and the cultivation resources secretly provided by his mother, he should have broken through the seventh level of Qi Refining if he cultivated diligently.
“Thank you for your concern, Father. Your son understands.”
Lu Chensha paused, knowing that his cultivation progress was indeed somewhat slow.
“Well, it’s good that you are aware of it yourself.”
Lu Changsheng patted his son’s shoulder, not saying much more.
Besides the delay in cultivation, his reminder was also due to the fact that his son’s current spirit insect cultivation had limited value and would not yield high returns in the later stages.
If Lu Chensha were a rogue cultivator, he could naturally spend more time and energy on this aspect.
However, as a member of the Lu family, he didn’t need to engage in too much fighting during the Qi Refining stage, so spending too much time and energy on it would be a waste.
“In seven years, the Violet Abyss Secret Realm will open. Given Chensha’s situation, he might consider going there to temper himself.”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of the Violet Abyss Secret Realm, which opened every thirty years.
He felt that his son could go in and try his luck, to temper himself.
After handing over the Beast Control Ancient Talisman to Lu Chensha, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think of the talisman’s original owner, his mother, Xu Ruyin.
Although this woman obtained the Heavenly Phoenix from him and condensed the Heavenly Beast Dao Foundation,
lacking the guidance and help of a ‘grandmother’ figure, she had been progressing steadily over the years.
Her growth speed was impressive, but not particularly astonishing.
“If I hadn’t taken the Beast Control Ancient Talisman from her, would she be growing even better now?”
Lu Changsheng stroked his chin, pondering in his heart.
The cultivation world has always had the concept of luck.
One saying is that if a person with great luck experiences too many setbacks and defeats, it may lead to the loss of their destined luck.
In Lu Changsheng’s eyes, Xu Ruyin’s early experiences were definitely those of a person with great luck, and she should have been advancing bravely all the way.
However, in recent years, she had become relatively ordinary and unremarkable.
“Luck…”
Lu Changsheng chuckled and didn’t pay much attention to it.
He returned to the Sumeru Cave Heaven, began to stabilize his state, and prepared to resolve Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Roar Physique issue.
Azure Cloud Peak, Bright Moon Residence.
“This Profound Origin Pearl actually enhances so much!”
Inside the cultivation room, after successfully refining the Profound Origin Pearl, Lu Wangshu’s bright and flawless face was filled with joy and surprise.
She knew that the Profound Origin Pearl her father gave her was not simple.
But she never expected the effect to be so amazing!
Not only did her mana and spiritual pressure receive a significant boost, but this Profound Origin Pearl also acted like a second dantian, storing nearly ten times her mana.
“In this case, doesn’t that mean I have infinite mana and can freely use the techniques of Void Rune Drawing?”
Lu Wangshu was very pleasantly surprised, then a few cunning glints appeared in her clear and bright eyes.
A moment later, she found her younger brother, Lu Lingxiao.
“Lu Wangshu, what are you doing here?”
Lu Lingxiao didn’t have Lu Changsheng’s handsome appearance; his face was firm and angular, with a dignified appearance.
His unusual golden eyes were concealed by a magical artifact Lu Changsheng had given him, but they were still very bright, with a piercing gaze that could attract countless rays of light.
He didn’t have a very good expression when he saw this older sister.
“Lu Lingxiao, are you itching for a beating again?”
Lu Wangshu glanced at this younger brother and said.
“Haven’t you always wanted to challenge me? Now that I, your sister, have condensed the Supreme Dao Foundation, I’ll let you have a taste.”
“Lest you neglect and affect your cultivation in order to break through to Foundation Establishment early.”
Lu Wangshu, dressed in a pink and white dress, stood with her hands behind her back, speaking to her younger brother.
“Supreme Dao Foundation?”
Lu Lingxiao’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Although he disliked this older sister, her talent and comprehension were beyond doubt.
Not only was she proficient in the Dao of Talismans, but she also understood techniques such as alchemy, puppetry, and music.
Although her cultivation was somewhat slow, he knew that it was because his father wanted her to lay a solid foundation.
“Want to see it?”
Lu Wangshu raised her delicate chin slightly, asking.
“Yes.”
Lu Lingxiao nodded.
Although he knew from his master’s explanation that Foundation Establishment was divided into Shattered Foundation, Flawed Foundation, Flawless Foundation, and Perfect Foundation,
he still wanted to see what it was like to have this older sister condense the Supreme Dao Foundation.
He, Lu Lingxiao, was never inferior to anyone, especially this older sister in front of him.
Lu Wangshu crossed her arms, glanced askance, and said, “Is that your attitude?”
Lu Lingxiao’s mouth twitched, and he cupped his hands and bowed, saying, “Please enlighten me, Sister.”
“Your tone and attitude are not right, do it again.”
Lu Wangshu said.
“Lu Wangshu, don’t get carried away. Dao Foundations are divided into four levels: Shattered, Flawed, Flawless, and Perfect. At most, you’ve condensed a Perfect Foundation.”
“When I attack Foundation Establishment, I will definitely have a Perfect Foundation as well. Who will win and who will lose by then is not certain!”
Lu Lingxiao stood tall, with a refined temperament, and said proudly.
He had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, taking each step one at a time, in order to condense a Perfect Dao Foundation.
Moreover, due to his physique, his mana foundation and spells far surpassed ordinary people, so he was confident that he would not be weaker than this older sister after Foundation Establishment.
Of course, cheating by relying on talismans didn’t count.
“Since you know the division of Dao Foundations, you should know the characteristics of a Perfect Dao Foundation, right?”
Lu Wangshu didn’t care about her younger brother’s attitude and said with a smile.
“Of course, I know.”
Lu Lingxiao nodded.
“In that case, I, your sister, will let you truly see it today.”
Lu Wangshu said with a smile, the slight upturn of her lips revealing her white and even teeth, adding a bit of playfulness and cuteness to her delicate face.
Then, the two came to the back mountain of Azure Cloud Peak.
Here, there was a practice field paved with black-brown flagstones for the late-stage Qi Refining disciples of the Lu family to practice spells or spar.
“Sister Wangshu, Lingxiao.”
Several Lu family disciples in the back mountain saw the two and called out.
Currently, many Lu family disciples were out on adventures or responsible for family affairs.
Among the Lu family disciples still cultivating at home, Lu Wangshu was considered older.
In addition, Lu Wangshu was gifted and loved by Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and others in Azure Lake Mountain, so most Lu family disciples had some respect for this older sister.
“Yanyan, Xingchen.”
Lu Wangshu nodded with a smile, her smile bright and generous, like a spring breeze.
Lu Lingxiao simply nodded slightly in response.
The two came to a stone wall. Lu Wangshu’s beautiful eyes were clear and deep, and she said with a smile, “Lingxiao, watch closely.”
After speaking, she lightly raised her jade-like hand, and mana flowed from her fair and slender fingers, shimmering with a crystalline luster.
Then, like a swimming dragon or a startled phoenix, she flipped and flew in the void, and in a moment, a talisman shimmering with golden light took shape.
“Buzz!”
As soon as the talisman took shape, it exuded an astonishing and surging mana.
“Void Rune Drawing.”
Lu Lingxiao’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this technique.
However, he knew that his older sister cultivated a talisman path technique, a very rare Talisman Cultivator, and was not surprised by this technique, continuing to watch Lu Wangshu.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
A surge of mana aura gushed out from Lu Wangshu’s body, causing her pink and white dress to flutter gently without wind.
The formed talisman instantly divided into three, three into nine, and nine into thirty-six.
These talismans all exuded an astonishing mana aura, hovering around Lu Wangshu, setting off her entire person as spotless and holy.
“This…”
Lu Lingxiao was immediately shocked.
His bright eyes suddenly shimmered with golden light, looking at the talismans in front of him.
He cultivated pupil techniques and could see that his older sister was not using illusions to deceive him.
She did indeed unleash thirty-six second-order talismans in a breath!
But even a Perfect Dao Foundation, with mana more abundant than ordinary people, couldn’t possibly unleash so many talismans in a moment, right?
This was equivalent to an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator continuously unleashing thirty-six spells!
Not to mention whether the meridians and dantian could withstand it, the mana would be almost exhausted, right?
But the older sister in front of him seemed as if nothing had happened.
Lu Wangshu saw her younger brother’s surprised look, and the corners of her mouth immediately turned up, and her hands continued to form hand seals.
“Shoo shoo shoo—”
“Boom boom boom—”
The golden talismans around her body shot towards the stone wall in front, each talisman causing an astonishing and terrifying power.
If this stone wall wasn’t cast from special materials and engraved with array patterns, it would probably have collapsed directly.
But under this offensive, it still caused the back mountain to shake for a while.
However, this was not the end.
Lu Wangshu’s hands continued to form hand seals, the void buzzing and trembling, and the talismans around her body derived more and more talismans, and after a while, there were hundreds of talismans.
“Lingxiao, watch closely, this is the power of the Supreme Dao Foundation!”
Lu Wangshu’s robes fluttered, her beautiful hair danced in the air, and under the backdrop of complex and profound talismans, her jade-like body shimmered, hazy and indistinct, like a beautiful female war goddess.
“Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plains!”
She formed hand seals with both hands, arranging these talismans neatly, and then fused them into one, forming a phoenix bird with a slender and elegant body, and a noble and gorgeous crimson glow.
The phoenix bird coiled behind Lu Wangshu, burning with raging flames, giving her a kind of indescribable sacred nobility, and an unparalleled beauty.
“Lingxiao, how is it?”
Lu Wangshu looked at her younger brother in front of her, her voice clear and melodious.
She sighed inwardly, regretting that she had not yet refined any talismanic weapons.
Otherwise, if she were to unleash a few more talismanic weapons at this time, the power and effect would be even more impressive.
The newest novels are first published on Liu_9_Shu_Ba!
“Supreme Dao Foundation, is this the Supreme Dao Foundation?”
Lu Lingxiao was horrified when he saw this scene.
Even though he was very confident and believed that he would surpass Lu Wangshu after establishing his foundation, he still felt a sense of powerlessness when he saw Lu Wangshu’s amazing methods.
It was too shocking!
Hundreds of talismans in a short period of time, how could this look like a cultivator who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage?
Even a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, or the late-Foundation Establishment stage, would be no more than this, right?
Not only him, but the commotion had also attracted Lu Qingyan, Lu Xingchen, and Lu Yunfei, who were cultivating in the back mountain.
The few of them looked at Lu Wangshu in front of them, all dumbfounded, speechless, and completely bewildered.
Wasn’t this elder sister at the Qi Refining stage? When did she break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?
And is she already so powerful after just breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage?
The few of them were very confused.
“Sister Wangshu, have you broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage? So amazing!”
Lu Qingyan said in surprise to Lu Wangshu in front of her.
“You should all cultivate diligently, and you will be able to establish your foundation soon.”
Lu Wangshu gently raised her hand, the phoenix bird coiled behind her dissipated, and she smiled brightly.
Such methods consumed a lot of her mana.
If it weren’t for the Xuan Yuan Pearl, she wouldn’t have been able to perform it at all.
However, seeing Lu Lingxiao’s appearance, she didn’t continue to pretend.
Otherwise, it would be bad if she really discouraged her younger brother.
Although she had a bit of showing off and teasing him in mind, she also used this method to encourage him.
This younger brother had amazing talent and a strong personality, and he had always wanted to challenge her, his elder sister.
Since that was the case, she would give him a little difficulty.
“As expected of Sister Wangshu.”
The three of them were all shocked by Lu Wangshu’s methods just now.
“Lu Lingxiao, you’re not discouraged, are you?”
At this time, Lu Wangshu came to Lu Lingxiao’s side, patted him on the shoulder, and said.
“Hmph, Lu Wangshu, don’t think I don’t know, you must have used some external object to be able to do this.”
Lu Lingxiao snorted coldly.
Although he was young, he was not stupid.
He naturally guessed that there was a problem with his elder sister’s methods just now, and she definitely didn’t rely on some Supreme Dao Foundation to perform them.
Moreover, his elder sister’s personality, suddenly coming to him and showing off her skills like this, was very problematic.
However, having said that, he still felt a sense of urgency and pressure in his heart.
He knew that even if he condensed a perfect Dao Foundation, it would probably be difficult to surpass her.
“Alas, is it so difficult to admit that your sister is strong? As long as your attitude is better, your sister can give you some pointers on the tricks inside.”
Lu Wangshu didn’t care about Lu Lingxiao’s attitude.
If he gave in so easily, she would find it boring.
“Hmph, I will definitely not be weaker than you in the same realm.”
Lu Lingxiao said this and prepared to ask his master for guidance.
“Hee hee hee”
Lu Wangshu laughed without any image when she saw this.
Then she said to the other younger brothers and sisters: “Yan’er, Xingchen, Yunfei, don’t spread what happened just now.”
If her father knew that she had come to bully Lu Lingxiao again, he would definitely scold her again.
“Sister Wangshu, don’t worry.”
The three nodded in response.
White Tiger Mountain.
In a valley.
“Boom boom boom!”
A tall and sturdy young man with a shimmering treasure light on his body was fighting hand-to-hand with a huge beast with a ferocious wolf-like head and a scarlet vertical mark between its eyebrows.
The attacks of the man and the beast were both very fierce, and continuous collisions emitted clanging sounds, and wind and thunder stirred, constantly echoing in the entire valley.
If someone were to see this scene, they would definitely be shocked.
After all, demon beasts are naturally physically strong, and ordinary cultivators would not fight demon beasts in close combat, let alone with their bare hands.
Especially when the young man was fighting with the demon beast, dust flew, wind and thunder stirred, and he was not at a disadvantage at all, there was back and forth, causing countless boulders in the valley to shatter.
“Big Brother, Qing Song has something to ask you.”
At this moment, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with a cute appearance, wearing her hair in a bun, and stepping on wind and fire wheels appeared, put her hands to her mouth, and shouted to the young man who was fighting with the beast.
Hearing this movement, Lu Ping’an and the Nine Nether Mastiff stopped and responded to their younger sister Lu Linghe: “Okay, I’m coming.”
A moment later, Lu Ping’an changed into a black robe and came to his younger sister, who was not as tall as his shoulder, and asked, “Xiao He, what’s wrong with Qing Song?”
“I don’t know.”
Lu Linghe shook her little head, and then said to Lu Ping’an: “Big Brother, you’ll know when you go, I’m going to play with Xiao Hei.”
After speaking, she stepped on the wind and fire wheels and came to the Nine Nether Mastiff, who was huge, clenched her fists, and shouted crisply, “Come on, Xiao Hei!”
The Nine Nether Mastiff looked at the girl in front of him, and his dark red eyes revealed a bit of helplessness.
He thought that after growing to this point, he wouldn’t have to take care of children anymore.
As a result, Lu Linghe came to White Tiger Mountain and saw him often sparring with Lu Ping’an, and she also learned to spar with him.
Facing Lu Ping’an, he could attack at will.
And the two had been sparring since they were young, and they had a very tacit understanding.
But facing Lu Linghe, if he used a little bit of force with his claws, he would slap the girl into meat paste.
This process was simply many times more difficult than sparring with Lu Ping’an.
“Shaking Mountain Fist!”
The girl shouted with great interest, and her fist slammed towards the Nine Nether Mastiff.
Although she only knew one punch, this punch already had a lot of momentum.
When the fist was thrown out, a vast amount of energy surged, and there was an indomitable and indestructible power.
“Bang!”
The Nine Nether Mastiff raised its claws, very helpless, but made a fierce look to accompany Lu Linghe to practice boxing.
“Chamber of Commerce, caravan”
In the hall, Lu Ping’an listened to his younger brothers and sisters about the caravan, nodded and replied: “Okay, after you arrange these things properly, determine the time and notify me.”
He had no ideas or opinions about the caravan.
It was just that this trip to trade may take several years.
He had to go home in advance to see his mother and tell Su Jiu’er about it.
“Well, we are just telling you in advance, Big Brother, it will take some time to arrange the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce.”
“If you have any opinions or needs, Big Brother, we can arrange and prepare them.”
Lu Qingsong said.
To form a caravan, it is not only necessary to plan the trade route, prepare manpower, but also to prepare goods, purchase驮beasts, and storage cargo boxes in advance.
The space of ordinary storage bags is limited, and it is very troublesome to use them for trading due to the volume and weight.
Compared with storage bags, storage cargo boxes not only have dozens of times the capacity, but also can be arranged with many restrictions.
Even if the storage cargo box is snatched, it is difficult to break the restrictions on it and take away the goods, and the family can also retrieve the goods through the identification mark of the cargo box.
“I have no opinions or needs, you can arrange it as you see fit.”
Lu Ping’an said with a smile.
Although he was stationed in White Tiger Mountain, he had never interfered in family affairs for so many years, and he had no interest in this aspect.
“Okay.”
Lu Qingsong nodded, and also knew his big brother’s nature.
Xumi Cave Heaven.
Hall of Longevity.
“Huff!”
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and finally recovered the loss of condensing the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’ before.
However, looking at the few high-grade spirit stones he had left, he sighed slightly.
If he continued to cultivate like this, the high-grade spirit stones he had accumulated over the years would be exhausted.
He got up and walked out of the cave, glanced at Ling Zixiao’s cave, and seeing that she was not in the Hall of Longevity, he came to the Lu family mansion.
