Chapter 417: Destruction Flame, twenty people at the ninth level of Qi Refining!

“Father, Mother, Aunt.”

Lu Lingxiao opened his eyes, two golden beams bursting from his pupils, overflowing with a powerful aura.

His slender and upright figure burned with a dark black flame, adding a touch of coldness, majesty, and dominance to his entire being.

“Haha, not bad.”

Lu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction, observing his son’s condition.

Refining this spiritual flame of heaven and earth, his son not only underwent a complete marrow cleansing and bone refinement, and broke through to the second level of body refinement, but also further solidified his foundation.

“Xiao’er, this spiritual flame doesn’t have a name yet, why don’t you give it one yourself?”

Ling Zixiao’s beautiful eyes shone brightly as she examined the black flames burning on her son’s body, and said with a light smile.

There are many types of spiritual flames in the world.

Apart from a few with names, most don’t have names.

“Hmm.”

Lu Lingxiao pondered for a moment, then said, “This spiritual flame is full of destruction and destructive aura, why not call it the Flame of Annihilation.”

“Flame of Annihilation, that’s not bad.”

Ling Zixiao smiled faintly.

“Xiao’er, you should go back and rest well first, and start preparing to break through to Foundation Establishment in a few days.”

Lu Changsheng said to his son, Lu Lingxiao.

His son had just finished refining the Flame of Annihilation, and his condition was very weak, so he needed to rest well.

“Yes, Father.”

“Mother, Aunt, Xiao’er takes his leave.”

The flames on Lu Lingxiao’s body slowly dissipated, and his skin seemed to be dehydrated, with some cracks, like a snake shedding its skin, revealing a layer of old skin.

This was a transformation of the physical body from the inside out, a true marrow cleansing and hair removal, a complete rebirth!

“Thank you, Langjun, Miaoge.”

At this time, Ling Zixiao also said to Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge.

“We are all family, Sister Ling is too polite.”

Lu Miaoge said with a gentle smile.

The group chatted and laughed for a while, and then Lu Changsheng took Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge to prepare a medicinal bath.

He had already taught Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge how to refine this kind of medicinal bath.

However, this medicinal bath was extraordinary, using the essence of a third-order demon king’s flesh and blood as the main ingredient, so he needed to watch over it.

At the same time, Bi Hu Mountain released a message to the outside world.

They stated that they had a second-order alchemist who could refine Foundation Establishment Pills using special demon cores, and guaranteed one pill would be successfully refined.

If it failed, Bi Hu Mountain would provide a full refund.

Now, not only was the alchemy free, but Bi Hu Mountain was also willing to provide a cave dwelling for loose cultivators to attempt Foundation Establishment.

As long as they paid three thousand spirit stones, or were willing to serve as guest elders in Bi Hu Mountain, they could attempt Foundation Establishment in Bi Hu Mountain.

As soon as this news was released, it spread like a hurricane, causing countless people to discuss it.

Because this news was too shocking.

In the entire Jiang Country cultivation world, apart from the four immortal sects, only Danxia Mountain and the three immortal cities had such alchemists.

Ordinary cultivators who wanted to hire someone to refine Foundation Establishment Pills could only go to the three immortal cities.

However, the three immortal cities were far away.

Even if Qi Refining cultivators were lucky enough to gather the materials for Foundation Establishment Pills, it would be difficult for them to go to the three immortal cities, fearing attacks along the way.

Moreover, even if they arrived at the three immortal cities, they would need connections and wealth to meet these alchemists and ask them to refine pills.

But now, Bi Hu Mountain not only offered free alchemy, guaranteed success, but also provided a breakthrough dojo.

This news was simply tempting.

Especially for some family forces.

They had once obtained Heavenly Spirit Fruits or special demon cores by chance, but had never dared to go to the immortal cities.

Now that they had Bi Hu Mountain as an option, coming to Bi Hu Mountain was much simpler.

However, this news still aroused much doubt and suspicion.

“What, Bi Hu Mountain has a second-order alchemist who can refine Foundation Establishment Pills? And they guarantee one pill will be successfully refined?”

“No wonder Bi Hu Mountain and Green Bamboo Mountain have produced several Foundation Establishment cultivators in recent years, so they have such an alchemist in their family!”

“Such a top alchemist, why not go to the immortal cities to make a name for themselves, why stay in a small Lu family in Bi Hu Mountain?”

“My third uncle’s brother-in-law’s cousin’s older sister is a concubine of this Lu family ancestor, I heard that this alchemist is also one of the concubines of the Lu family ancestor, Lu Changsheng.”

“What, this kind of alchemist is actually someone’s concubine? What charm does this Lu family ancestor have!”

“Damn it, what kind of luck did Lu Changsheng have? I remember that he has a wife who is a top formation master, and now he has another top alchemist.”

“I don’t know if this is true or false, are there any fellow Daoists who want to try it out?”

“If I go there, will Bi Hu Mountain kill me for my treasures?”

“Since Bi Hu Mountain dares to release this kind of news, it shouldn’t be fake.”

“That’s right, Bi Hu Mountain acts fairly upright and values face, they wouldn’t ruin their reputation for this.”

The area around Bi Hu Mountain was filled with discussions about this matter.

And this news was still spreading, quickly spreading throughout the entire Qingyun Territory.

After all, Bi Hu Mountain already had a considerable reputation in the Qingyun Territory, and its momentum was strong.

Now that such a rare alchemist who could refine Foundation Establishment Pills had appeared in their family, they were naturally the first to be noticed.

Green Bamboo Mountain, Lu Family.

“Refining Foundation Establishment Pills, Bi Hu Mountain really has an alchemist who can refine Foundation Establishment Pills.”

Lu Yuanzhong and others heard this news and thought to themselves, as expected.

Years ago, Lu Changsheng half-sold and half-gave two Foundation Establishment Pills, and they had already guessed this.

“Refining Foundation Establishment Pills.”

Lu Yuanding was old and frail, sitting in the courtyard, and didn’t care much when he heard this news.

Now that Green Bamboo Mountain had reached this point, he was already content, and no longer worried about family matters, and wouldn’t think about asking Bi Hu Mountain for any benefits before he died.

Moreover, given the relationship between the two families, doing such a thing himself would be like draining the pond to catch the fish, and would worsen the relationship between the two families.

“Besides, there are also Qingshan and Xuan’er.”

Lu Yuanding looked at Lu Qingxuan, who was wearing a green shirt, with a handsome appearance, like a refined gentleman, and a few smiles of relief appeared in his old and turbid eyes.

His eldest grandson, Lu Qingshan, had a deep affection for Green Bamboo Mountain, and with this grandson around, Green Bamboo Mountain would definitely be taken care of if it encountered a major crisis in the future.

Although his youngest grandson, Lu Qingxuan, had not yet grown up.

But he had asked his daughter, Lu Miaoge, and knew that this grandson had a third-grade spiritual root.

With this kind of talent, he believed that under Lu Changsheng’s training, he would definitely be able to establish a foundation and achieve success in cultivation.

With Lu Qingxuan’s character, as long as his family didn’t commit any principled problems, he wouldn’t sit idly by and watch Green Bamboo Mountain decline.

Therefore, not to mention Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Ping’an and others, just these two grandsons would be able to protect Green Bamboo Mountain for two hundred years.

“Two hundred years.”

Lu Yuanding murmured, imagining in his heart that one day his grandson Lu Qingshan would become a Core Formation True Person.

Although the hope of Lu Qingxuan’s third-grade spiritual root forming a core was slim.

But with his son-in-law Lu Changsheng’s ability, it was not impossible.

Moreover, even if he didn’t become a Core Formation True Person, there was still a good chance that he would become a False Core True Person in the future.

“Grandpa, what’s wrong?”

Lu Qingxuan saw that his grandfather was looking at him with a smile in his eyes, put down the book in his hand, and said gently.

“It’s nothing, Grandpa thought of some happy things, where did Qi’er go?”

Lu Yuanding’s old face was full of wrinkles, and he said with a smile.

“Sister Wangshu came over yesterday, and my sister went out to play with Sister Wangshu.”

Lu Qingxuan’s voice was very gentle, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Although this sister came to Green Bamboo Mountain to accompany her grandfather, she was of a lively nature, so she often ran back and forth.

“Xuan’er, you should also interact and communicate with your brothers and sisters at home more often.”

Lu Yuanding said softly to his grandson.

Hundred Bird Lake, Bai Family.

“Bi Hu Mountain can refine Foundation Establishment Pills, I wonder if they have any extra Foundation Establishment Pills, and my family can ask for one.”

Bai Yunyang, the ancestor of the Bai family, murmured in his heart after hearing this news.

Back then, among the four major families, the Yu family of Bi Hu Mountain was replaced by the Lu family, and now it has become a well-known Foundation Establishment family in the Qingyun Territory.

Because of its relationship with the Lu family of Bi Hu Mountain, Green Bamboo Mountain is now also sitting with three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The Zheng family of Centipede Ridge has completely become a vassal of the Xu family of Yushui.

Their Bai family of Hundred Bird Lake, although they have followed Bi Hu Mountain and Green Bamboo Mountain to drink a lot of soup, they have never been able to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills.

In the past few decades, two people in the family have relied on Heart Protecting Pills and Foundation Establishment spiritual objects to try to break through to Foundation Establishment, but they have all failed, resulting in the entire family still being guarded by him alone.

Now that he heard this news, he was thinking about putting aside his face and asking for a Foundation Establishment Pill based on some favors from the two families.

“Aming, immediately send a message to Feifei to verify this matter.”

Bai Yunyang said aloud.

After speaking, he walked directly out of the cave and said, “No, I will personally go to Bi Hu Mountain.”

Many families had similar ideas to Bai Yunyang.

They all realized that since Bi Hu Mountain had such an alchemist, they must have been secretly acquiring special demon cores in recent years, so that they could be used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

So they were thinking about spending spirit stones or natural treasures to ask for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Golden Dragon Ridge, Jin Family.

“Bi Hu Mountain.”

After hearing this news, the Jin family head immediately convened a family meeting.

Because he immediately realized the seriousness of this problem.

The Lu family stated that they guaranteed one pill would be successfully refined.

But in the process of alchemy, no one can say for sure how many pills will be successfully refined.

If two pills are successfully refined, one of them will belong to Bi Hu Mountain.

In this case, Bi Hu Mountain is equivalent to having a continuous way to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills.

Especially when he heard that Bi Hu Mountain was willing to provide Foundation Establishment venues for loose cultivators, as long as they were willing to pay three thousand spirit stones, or serve as guest elders in the Lu family.

This was simply a dream come true for countless loose cultivators!

If this continued, it was estimated that in a few years, Bi Hu Mountain’s strength would increase and grow crazily.

“Damn it, where did this Lu Changsheng trick this alchemist from!”

“With such a top alchemist, I’m afraid that in at most twenty years, this Bi Hu Mountain will grow into a behemoth!”

“What to do, should we try to assassinate this alchemist?”

“How could Lu Changsheng not protect such an alchemist well?”

In the council hall, the Jin family’s higher-ups all wore unsightly expressions.

Although their Golden Dragon Ridge and Azure Lake Mountain didn’t seem to have any deep-seated hatred,

their earlier actions, suppression, provocations, and so on, had already caused the two families to form a feud.

The latest novels are first published at Liu 9 Shu Ba!

This feud was almost impossible to resolve.

Therefore, they all knew that as long as Azure Lake Mountain accumulated enough strength, they would definitely settle their old scores with the Jin family.

“How about we tell the ancestor about this and ask him to decide?”

At this moment, someone said.

“No, the ancestor is fully focused on nurturing his magic weapon. If he hears this news, I’m afraid, I’m afraid it will affect his cultivation.”

The Jin family head immediately rejected this suggestion.

Their ancestor had been defeated twice by Lu Changsheng and his wife, and almost developed a heart demon.

Now, as long as he hears any news related to Lu Changsheng, he can hardly remain calm.

If he hears this news, he might really do something to ambush Lu Changsheng or this alchemist.

“Damn it, if the ancestor hadn’t been killed by a demonic cultivator, with our Jin family having two fake Core Formation cultivators, what would we have to fear from a Lu family from Azure Lake Mountain!”

A Jin family elder said with resentment.

Their Jin family had accumulated for decades and finally waited for Jin Zhan to break through to fake Core Formation, ushering in the family’s peak.

As a result, before they could even begin to show off, the ancestor was killed by a demonic cultivator in Hujia Ridge, causing the family to suffer a great loss of vitality.

So many years have passed, and their Jin family has not yet recovered from the pain of that year.

“Don’t rush this matter. I’ll send someone to investigate the information of this alchemist first and verify this matter.”

“Moreover, this matter, I’m afraid, is not only urgent for our Jin family. The other major families probably don’t want to see Azure Lake Mountain grow like this!”

The Jin family head said in a deep voice.

“That’s right, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge of Azure Lake Mountain are already equivalent to a fake Core Formation cultivator. No one wants to see their family constantly producing Foundation Establishment cultivators!”

“The main thing is that Lu Changsheng has grown too fast. His rise has been too smooth!”

“In any case, we must not let the Lu family grow like this.”

“I heard that the Lu family has established a chamber of commerce. This trip is likely to pave the way for the chamber of commerce. With such an alchemist, I’m afraid countless families and forces want to befriend Azure Lake Mountain.”

The Jin family’s higher-ups discussed animatedly, realizing that the Lu family’s release of such news, although high-profile, would bring countless benefits to the family.

After all, even if all the families know that Azure Lake Mountain is rising, as long as there is no direct contradiction or conflict of interest, no one wants to tear up their face with Azure Lake Mountain and confront them head-on.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment families wouldn’t care whether Azure Lake Mountain rises or not.

They would now only take the initiative to befriend Azure Lake Mountain and try to gain benefits.

Moreover, with a relationship of friendship, they would not provoke Azure Lake Mountain in the future and bring about the disaster of extermination.

“Alas.”

After the Jin family’s higher-ups discussed for a long time, they found that the most anxious about the rise of Azure Lake Mountain was their own family, and they were all silent for a while.

Azure Lake Mountain.

These days, many families, forces, and even rogue cultivators came to Azure Lake Mountain to inquire about the Foundation Establishment Pill or to purchase one.

Faced with this matter, Lu Changsheng did not come forward and left everything to his son, Lu Xingyang, to handle.

However, when Foundation Establishment ancestors came to visit, Lu Miaoyun, the mistress of the Lu family, would still come forward to receive them.

She was the previous generation Foundation Establishment of the Lu family, besides Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, and Ling Zixiao, known to all forces.

Faced with these visits, Lu Miaoyun and Lu Xingyang stated that everything was true.

Those who came to refine pills, as long as their background was clear, Azure Lake Mountain could keep them confidential and provide Foundation Establishment cave dwellings.

However, Azure Lake Mountain would not be responsible if enemies came during the Foundation Establishment process, leading to failure.

As for those who wanted to purchase Foundation Establishment Pills, Lu Miaoyun uniformly stated that there were none.

She knew very well that at this time, as long as the Lu family took out a Foundation Establishment Pill, countless people would flock to them, seeking the Foundation Establishment Pill through various reasons.

It might even attract some evil cultivators who licked blood from their knives to kidnap the Lu family’s children, and so on.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Miaoyun also stated that her family would long-term purchase materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment spiritual objects.

And put up a request list.

Stating that as long as there were rare items on the request list, Azure Lake Mountain would be willing to prioritize trading if there were Foundation Establishment Pills in the future.

Although this was a pie in the sky.

But the temptation of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the thought of selling a favor, still made many people silently remember the contents of the request list, thinking about going back to take a look and help pay attention.

Lu Changsheng was not very clear about these external matters and did not care.

After roughly configuring the medicinal baths for Lu Pingan, Lu Lingxiao, and others, he asked Ling Zixiao to take a Mountain and River Cauldron to upgrade the Azure Cloud Peak’s spiritual vein, and then came to the alchemy room to begin teaching Li Xingruo how to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

Now that the news of refining Foundation Establishment Pills had been released, it was impossible for all the Foundation Establishment Pills in the family to be refined by him.

So, he still had to teach Li Xingruo.

In the cultivation world, there were very few people who could refine Foundation Establishment Pills, not because refining Foundation Establishment Pills was so difficult.

But the practice cost of Foundation Establishment Pills was too high, and the materials were too scarce, directly dissuading 90% of alchemists.

However, Li Xingruo had good alchemy talent, and could barely refine second-order top-grade pills. She had also seen Lu Changsheng refine Foundation Establishment Pills many times. With Lu Changsheng’s guidance, she was now trying to get started, and would not lose too much.

Lakeside Island, in the alchemy room.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

Three alchemy furnaces were located there, and Lu Changsheng opened the furnaces alone, directly refining three furnaces of pills.

However, one of the furnaces of pills was controlled by Li Xingruo. In the process, she would first watch Lu Changsheng do it once, and then try it herself.

If there was a slight problem, Lu Changsheng would speak out to guide and try to remedy it.

“When the Azure Cloud Peak’s spiritual vein is promoted to the second-order top grade, another branch vein can be cultivated next to it, and the Earth Fiend Fire Vein can be integrated into it. This spiritual peak can be used to plant fire mulberry trees, golden fire vine trees, and build an alchemy workshop.”

“This way, the family can refine nine furnaces of pills at the same time.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the burning earth fire in front of him and thought to himself.

Opening three alchemy furnaces at the same time was not his limit.

With his current divine soul and divine sense, even refining nine furnaces of pills at the same time would not be a big problem.

But the Azure Lake Mountain’s spiritual vein was mainly water attribute.

The power of the earth fire array in the family’s alchemy room was really limited and could not support too many alchemy furnace earth fires.

And his Thunder Gang Dragon Flame was too domineering, only suitable for refining weapons, not very suitable for refining pills.

“Xingruo, don’t be nervous. This step should be gentle, otherwise, during the pill fusion process, it is easy for the medicinal power to be unbalanced.”

At this time, Lu Changsheng saw that in Li Xingruo’s furnace, under the scorching flames, the Foundation Establishment Pill showed an irregular prototype, and spoke out to remind her.

While speaking, he gently raised his palm, helping her adjust the firepower, and injected a series of spells, causing the pill to slowly round out during baking.

“At this time, use the Locking Yuan Pill Tempering Technique to temper the pill, each tempering for three breaths, pause for nine breaths, a total of ninety-nine eighty-one times.”

Lu Changsheng used his mind for three purposes, controlling his own furnace while guiding Li Xingruo.

When he first obtained second-order alchemy, although Lu Changsheng’s alchemy was superb, he could not do it so easily and skillfully.

This was entirely the effect of the improvement of cultivation, the breakthrough of Core Formation, and the awakening of the Taiyi Divine Soul.

If he was willing to spend time and concentrate on research, it would not be difficult to promote alchemy and puppet techniques to the third order.

“Yes.”

Li Xingruo looked serious, focused, nodded, but was still a little nervous.

After all, this was the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The cost of one furnace was worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones.

After a long time.

“Bang—”

The Foundation Establishment Pills in the three alchemy furnaces came out.

In the two alchemy furnaces in front of Lu Changsheng, six Foundation Establishment Pills appeared, three top-grade and three high-grade.

Due to several problems in the process, although Lu Changsheng remedied them, Li Xingruo ultimately only had two inferior pills and one waste pill.

“Haha, being able to produce two pills in the first refining of Foundation Establishment Pills, Xingruo, your alchemy talent is truly extraordinary.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

Although inferior Foundation Establishment Pills can only increase the probability of Foundation Establishment by 10%,

they are still invaluable to ordinary rogue cultivators.

If they are taken to the Red Leaf Valley Market for auction, they may be able to fetch 10,000 spiritual stones.

So, these two inferior Foundation Establishment Pills are not too much of a loss.

“Husband, don’t make fun of me.”

Li Xingruo naturally knew that she was able to keep these two inferior Foundation Establishment Pills thanks to Lu Changsheng’s constant remedy.

Otherwise, how could she wait until the step of pill formation?

“What my husband said is the truth. As long as you do a few more furnaces, my Xingruo will definitely be able to refine high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, his voice gentle.

“Hmm~”

Li Xingruo looked at Lu Changsheng’s handsome face, her eyes full of worship, admiration, tenderness, and nodded softly.

“Now that the pills are made, we can start Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng put away the Foundation Establishment Pills in his hand, exhaled lightly, and looked forward to the advanced lottery after the ten children in his family had established their foundation.

However, at this moment, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for twenty descendants breaking through the ninth level of Qi Refining, obtaining a lottery opportunity!]
