Chapter 532: Xu Ruyin was shocked as Lu Chensha broke through the foundation building stage!

Chapter 530: Xu Ruyin’s Shock, Lu Chensha Breaks Through to Foundation Establishment!

Xu Ruyin and Lu Changsheng arrived at the Xumi Grotto-heaven.

The moment she entered, she was completely shocked.

The entire Grotto-heaven Secret Realm was vastly different from what she remembered.

Dense Spiritual Qi rushed towards her, fresh and ethereal.

This was definitely not a Tier 2 Spiritual Vein; it had already reached a Tier 3 Spiritual Vein!

Even in the Beast Taming Xu Family, when she had met a Fake Core Old Ancestor, the Tier 3 Spiritual Qi she felt was not this dense!

Besides that, there was a patch of Spirit Medicine fields ahead, filled with exotic flowers and rare plants, their Qi flowing, and their fragrant medicinal aroma assailing the nostrils, all of them precious Spirit Medicine.

Most astonishing was a huge ancient tree in front, oddly shaped, covered in intricate patterns, and resplendent with five colors.

There were only Five Elements Spiritual Fruit on the entire ancient tree.

But the luster of the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit flowed, like the alternation of the Five Elements, forming a mysterious trajectory that made one instantly recognize its extraordinary nature.

This ancient tree was very similar to a spiritual tree called the ‘five elements spiritual fruit tree’ that she had seen in ancient texts.

Xu Ruyin was stunned.

She hadn’t expected such earth-shattering changes to the Grotto-heaven Secret Realm in just a few decades.

“The world believes that Bihu Mountain rose from an ordinary Foundation Establishment Family to a Fake Core Family in just a few decades.”

“Little do they know, Bihu Mountain is merely the surface; the true Foundation lies within this Grotto-heaven Secret Realm!”

Xu Ruyin’s heart surged with immense shock.

“Xu Yatou.”

Just then, a soft, elegant voice, tinged with complex emotions, sounded.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruyin collected herself and looked over.

She saw a woman, elegant and noble, with peerless grace, dressed in a crimson gown embroidered with gold and silver threads, and wearing a peach blossom pearl crown, walking towards her and looking at her.

“Senior Honglian!”

Xu Ruyin was pleasantly surprised to see this peerless figure.

But the next moment, she realized something was amiss, thinking she was hallucinating.

“Senior Honglian, are you…reforming your Physical Body?”

She didn’t know that Honglian had obtained a peach wood spirit embryo and reformed her Physical Body.

Seeing Honglian no longer in a remnant Soul state, but with a Physical Body, she was very surprised, bewildered, and incredulous.

Although Honglian’s Divine Soul could attach itself to others.

But she had seen Honglian’s remnant Soul appearance.

The current appearance, temperament, and Divine Soul were very similar.

Moreover, how could an ordinary Cultivator possess such a magnificent appearance, temperament, and Divine Soul!

“Yes, thanks to Young Master, I was able to reform my Physical Body so quickly.”

Honglian looked at Xu Ruyin, feeling a sense of emotion and unreality.

She had once been dormant within the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman, awakened by Xu Ruyin, who regarded her as her successor and benefactor, and cultivated her diligently.

She also hoped that one day, Xu Ruyin would Breakthrough to Core Formation and Nascent Soul, and then reform her Physical Body, travel to the Beiyuan Cultivation World, and uncover the mystery of her demise that year.

However, she never expected to encounter Lu Changsheng during a difficult time.

Opportunity and misfortune are intertwined.

From him, she not only saw the Opportunity to reshape her Physical Body and return to her Peak.

She also saw the Soul Transformation Opportunity that was once out of reach!

Reality did not disappoint her.

In just a few decades, she obtained the Heaven and Earth Spirit Embryo and the soul fusion return life pill bestowed by Lu Changsheng, reforming her Physical Body and stabilizing her Divine Soul in the shortest time possible!

She believed that as long as she continued to follow Lu Changsheng and grow, returning to her Peak was only a matter of time.

“.”

Even though Xu Ruyin had noticed that Honglian had reformed her Physical Body.

Hearing her personally admit it still shocked her beyond measure, feeling incredibly unbelievable.

Earlier, she had heard Honglian mention the requirements for reforming her Physical Body.

It required the dharma body of a Nascent Soul cultivator, or Heaven and Earth Spirit Materials for refining an Incarnation.

Such treasures were difficult for even a Core Formation cultivator to obtain.

No matter how extraordinary Lu Changsheng was, it was impossible for him to gather them so quickly…

At this moment, a surge of reverence, awe, fear, and submission towards Lu Changsheng welled up in the depths of Xu Ruyin’s heart.

She knew that what she had seen of Lu Changsheng was merely the tip of the iceberg.

He was far more mysterious than she had imagined.

It was precisely because of this that Senior Honglian would be willing to follow him…

“Congratulations, Senior Honglian! Now that you have reformed your Physical Body, returning to your Peak is just around the corner!”

Xu Ruyin immediately cupped her hands and congratulated her.

“Alas.”

Honglian noticed an invisible barrier had formed between herself and Xu Ruyin.

She knew it was related to Xu Ruyin’s experiences over the years.

When a person ventures out alone, lacking a sense of belonging to their Family, they naturally become gradually indifferent and resistant to others.

Like a benevolent elder, she stepped forward and gently stroked Xu Ruyin’s fiery red hair, her voice soft and elegant, saying, “Xu Yatou, when did you learn such exaggerated manners?”

“These years out, have you neglected your Cultivation, and do you have any doubts or questions?”

Honglian, in her luxurious gown, with her flawless jade body radiating a hazy glow, was noble and sacred, making one feel that she could only be admired from afar and not defiled, yet she gave Xu Ruyin a sense of natural closeness.

She recalled her youth, when she found the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman, and Honglian’s earnest teachings.

Although she had good talent, a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root.

But without Honglian, she wouldn’t have been so outstanding, standing out from her Family.

“Senior Honglian.”

Xu Ruyin looked at Honglian, who was both her teacher and a mother figure, feeling a bit abashed.

However, the barrier between her and Honglian gradually melted away.

After all, Senior Honglian’s predicament was also related to herself.

If not for Senior Honglian, how could she be where she was today?

“Chensha is currently undergoing his Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment; he will surely be delighted to see you.”

Honglian patted Xu Ruyin, her voice soft and pleasant.

“Hmm.”

Xu Ruyin nodded, wondering why she felt that Senior Honglian already seemed somewhat like a mistress of the house…

However, given Lu Changsheng’s character, now that Senior Honglian had reformed her Physical Body, she probably couldn’t escape his grasp…

Thinking this, Xu Ruyin subconsciously glanced at Lu Changsheng.

But upon that glance, she suddenly felt that their appearances and temperaments were a match made in heaven, like a pair of immortal companions.

Even though she always held respect and admiration for Honglian, who was both her teacher and a mother figure.

She also felt that only someone like Lu Changsheng was worthy of Honglian.

Immediately, she looked towards a courtyard not far away, where a Spiritual Qi vortex swirled above.

She guessed that her son, Lu Chensha, was undergoing his Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment inside.

“No need to worry, Chensha’s current Foundation makes breaking through to Foundation Establishment effortless, and he will most likely be able to condense a Heaven Beast Dao Foundation!”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, and sat down with the two women by the Spirit Eye Spring to drink tea and chat.

“Heaven Beast Dao Foundation!?”

Xu Ruyin’s Cultivation Technique was the Beast Control Technique, so she naturally knew what a Heaven Beast Dao Foundation represented!

One must contract a Heaven Rank Bloodline Yao Beast!

In earlier years, Lu Changsheng named his son ‘Chensha,’ meaning dust and grit.

Later, when she visited Bihu Mountain a few times to see her son, he always seemed quiet and ordinary, leading her to believe he wasn’t valued.

She never expected her son to actually contract a Heaven Rank Yao Beast!

For a moment, an inexplicable emotion surged in Xu Ruyin’s heart: joy, gratitude, or perhaps an emotion she couldn’t quite name.

“Yes, and Chensha himself is quite promising; during this trip to the Purple Nether Secret Realm, he subdued and contracted a Tier 2 Yao Beast, the Ghoul-Faced Soul-Devouring Spider.”

Lu Changsheng said softly, holding his teacup.

His every gesture exuded a refined elegance that was pleasing to the eye.

“It’s all due to husband’s cultivation.”

Xu Ruyin knew the general situation of the Secret Realm; Lu Chensha had somehow managed to tame a Tier 2 Yao Beast.

But she hadn’t expected her son to directly subdue and contract it.

One must know that taming in a short time and subduing by contract are two completely different concepts.

“Hehe.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, then inquired with concern about Xu Ruyin’s situation over the years.

Xu Ruyin stated that she was currently in charge of several of the Xu Family’s outposts in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

Her main duties involved hunting Yao Beasts or providing support to resolve Yao Beast dangers.

She happened to have time this trip and heard about the Purple Nether Secret Realm, so she came to take a look.

“Does the Xu Family have any movements regarding the Purple Nether Secret Realm?”

Lu Changsheng inquired.

“I’m not clear on that, but Fellow Daoist Lu Ping’an’s performance has most likely caught the attention of the Xu Family.”

Xu Ruyin said.

The Beast Taming Xu Family’s Fire Crow Dao Soldiers and Water Snake Dao Soldiers were renowned throughout the world.

In reality, these two types of Dao Soldiers were not immutable; the Xu Family had continuously made adjustments and optimizations in their rearing.

Lu Ping’an’s Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers were very worthy of the Xu Family’s emulation and reference.

Moreover, the Xu Family had long since taken notice of Bihu Mountain.

It was just that they lacked a legitimate reason and direct conflict, so they didn’t intervene, allowing Bihu Mountain to contend with the Jin Family and the Sima Family.

Given Bihu Mountain’s performance in the Purple Nether Secret Realm, even if the Xu Family had concerns about the Qingyun Sect, they would still choose to suppress them.

As for the specifics, Xu Ruyin was not clear.

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded thoughtfully.

He then asked Xu Ruyin about the establishment of outposts in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

He wanted to establish a branch family under the Yu Ling Sect’s jurisdiction, serving as a transit point to advance into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and establish outposts there.

Alternatively, depending on the situation, they could acquire several commercial properties in Qingluan Immortal City.

This way, no matter how many Foundation Establishment Cultivators the Lu Family has, they can all be accommodated.

Otherwise, once Lu Chensha and his group Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, in about ten years, the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Family will reach an explosive level.

Although they can be sent out to gain experience and travel on their own, a transitional period would be ideal.

Xu Ruyin meticulously explained the Xu Family’s processes, such as establishing strongholds in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, training disciples, hunting Yao Beasts, processing Materials, and raising Spirit Beasts.

Through this understanding, Lu Changsheng realized that it was much more troublesome than he had imagined, and not something a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators could achieve overnight.

After reminiscing with Xu Ruyin for a long time, Lu Changsheng took her to Chang Sheng Hall for a deeper emotional exchange.

After all, only by doing so can one reach the Soul and conquer both body and mind.

Inside Chang Sheng Hall.

Lu Changsheng, as someone who had experienced countless journeys, did not rush in impatiently.

He took out a pot of stimulating wine, then spoke sweet nothings to her while drinking.

Through their recent interaction, he keenly noticed that Xu Ruyin, possibly influenced by him in her early years, seemed to have developed a repulsion towards men.

This led to a slight instinctive resistance when facing him after so many years apart.

Therefore, at this moment, it was natural to proceed gradually and with gentleness.

Just like that, the two drank wine, becoming increasingly intimate and embracing each other tightly.

Xu Ruyin, facing Lu Changsheng’s affection and tenderness, felt as if the masculine scent on him was constantly stirring her sense of smell and her heartstrings.

She felt like a young girl experiencing first love, with a little deer ’thump-thump-thump’ wildly bumping around in her heart.

Then, with infinite shyness, she accommodated his domineering gentleness.

Allowing him to capture and taste the sweet and fragrant nectar from her lips.

A moment later, rustling sounds emerged.

Xu Ruyin’s exquisite and luxurious silk robe was half-undone.

Her skin, as fair as jade, was flushed like rosy clouds, and with her fiery red dress, she resembled a blooming fiery rose.

Lu Changsheng gazed at her with appreciation.

He looked at the familiar and alluring cleavage, flowing between his fingers.

Then, he unhurriedly took off her Phoenix boots, playing with her soft feet wrapped in snow-white silk stockings.

Her jade feet were glistening white and smooth, the arch of her instep was graceful and soft, and her ten slender toes, with their crimson nails, were faintly visible through the silk stockings.

Even through the silk stockings, one could feel the soft and elastic touch, like mutton-fat white jade.

When her jade feet were played with in this manner, Xu Ruyin instantly felt as if she had been electrocuted, her red lips slightly parted, whimpering and moaning, her breathing gradually quickening.

However, early memories gradually resurfaced, and with her fiery, red-moon burning eyes, she looked at Lu Changsheng with a dreamy gaze and said, “Please, Master Husband, come to bed.”

Immediately, the beauty slowly rose.

After many years, there was some unfamiliarity.

But Lu Changsheng showed no blame, treating her gently and guiding her patiently.

Inside the Immortal Cave, the enchanting atmosphere grew increasingly thick, and the two gradually merged like milk and water.

Perhaps due to the passage of many years, or perhaps Xu Ruyin’s psychological issues, it wasn’t long before she felt completely drained, collapsing like mud.

This made her feel somewhat self-reproachful when facing Lu Changsheng.

“A beautiful night and a beautiful scene, there’s no need to rush.”

Lu Changsheng soothed her fiery hot body, speaking gently.

Just like that, the two of them, inside the Immortal Cave, enjoyed their long-awaited time together, forgetting about the external world and their Dao discussions.

Although Xu Ruyin’s condition was somewhat poor, her physical strength and endurance from Cultivating the Beast Control Technique far surpassed that of ordinary people.

She performed the Body Integration secret technique that Lu Changsheng had once seen on Hu Xiao.

Integrating with the Sky Demon Phoenix, she resembled a Phoenix goddess bathed in flames.

If Lu Changsheng’s Physical Body hadn’t been extraordinary, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in such flames would indeed find it difficult to bear, and even Core Formation Cultivators would need to circulate their magical power, unable to experience it firsthand.

This process gave Lu Changsheng a very novel experience.

He couldn’t help but wonder if getting pregnant in this state would result in the Yao Race Bloodline he envisioned.

This was a path he had never contemplated.

Through intimate contact, Lu Changsheng observed that Xu Ruyin in this state was almost impossible to conceive.

Even if there was an infinitesimally small chance of pregnancy, once the Body Integration technique was lifted, it would likely have an impact.

Lu Changsheng abandoned this unrealistic idea, one hand supporting her slender waist, the other holding her jade hand.

Xu Ruyin couldn’t maintain this state for long either.

Who knows how long passed, time seemed to stop at that moment.

Xu Ruyin felt dizzy in the warm embrace.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction welled up in her heart, even wishing that things could remain like this forever.

Several days later, seeing that the Spiritual Qi vortex outside was reaching its final stage, Lu Changsheng and Xu Ruyin ceased their Dao discussions and walked out of Chang Sheng Hall.

Xu Ruyin, nourished by Lu Changsheng, had a few more touches of softness on her exquisitely beautiful and cold face, making her look enchanting and rosy.

And when she faced Lu Changsheng, she instinctively became much closer, no longer showing the previous resistance.

If not for the sense of humility in her heart, she even wanted to be by Lu Changsheng’s side at all times, nestled in his arms, inhaling his captivating scent.

Outside the hall, Hong Lian saw Xu Ruyin, who looked refreshed and much more radiant, and said nothing.

Given their relationship, it was already a good outcome that Lu Changsheng could treat Xu Ruyin kindly.

However, looking at Xu Ruyin in her fiery red dress with Phoenix embroidery, and her clothing and demeanor somewhat similar to her own in her youth, Hong Lian seemed to think of something and immediately dispelled the distracting thoughts.

Xu Ruyin felt a little shy upon seeing Hong Lian, and lowered her head slightly.

In her early years, when the other party was in the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman, she didn’t have much feeling.

But now that Hong Lian had reshaped her Physical Body, and even had a relationship with Lu Changsheng, and she herself these past few days…

Given this person’s outrageousness, perhaps one day, she and Senior Hong Lian…

“Hong Lian.”

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, was completely at ease, without the slightest shyness.

Between him and Hong Lian, there was only the last thin membrane remaining.

It just lacked a suitable Opportunity, an Opportunity that would come naturally.

In such a situation, the other party seeing him and Xu Ruyin could be considered getting used to it in advance.

Moreover, after so many years of getting along, Hong Lian already knew what kind of person he was, so there was nothing left to pretend.

“Chensha’s Foundation Establishment was very smooth, with no major issues.”

Hong Lian, as a Nascent Soul True Lord in her previous life, was also someone who had experienced great storms, and she spoke with elegant demeanor and a calm expression.

Xu Ruyin’s appearance, looks, and temperament, no matter where she was placed, could be considered stunning!

But at this moment, compared to Hong Lian, she was immediately overshadowed.

It wasn’t merely about appearance or figure.

It was also that transcendent nobility that came from years of refinement and a detached view of the Mortal World!

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, sitting down beside them, then asked Hong Lian some questions.

In her early years, she was a Beast Tamer; was she planning to contract a Spirit Beast?

It was difficult for ordinary Core Formation Cultivators to subdue a Tier 3 Demon King.

But Hong Lian had a Nascent Soul Divine Soul, so she might be able to do it.

“If there’s a suitable one, I can consider it.”

Hong Lian said, her demeanor very calm.

She did not Cultivate the Beast Control Technique, so she didn’t have a great need for Beast Taming.

It was just that she had this talent in her previous life, and she had put a little thought into it.

If she contracted an unsuitable Spirit Beast, there would be no benefit, and it might even become a burden.

As the three chatted, Lu Miaoge also happened to enter the Grotto-heaven to comprehend.

“Boom!”

Who knows how long passed, Lu Chensha successfully Broke Through to Foundation Establishment.

He knew that Lu Changsheng and the others were outside, so he didn’t delay and walked out of the Immortal Cave.

“Father, Mother, Aunt, Senior Peach God!”

After he Broke Through to Foundation Establishment, like Xu Ruyin, he underwent significant changes due to the influence of the Beast Control Technique.

His handsome and pale skin was almost transparent, giving him a pallid, effeminate appearance.

His hair was as black as ink, forming a stark contrast with his pale and effeminate skin.

And his eyes were even darker and deeper.

Like a dark, abyssal pool, they shimmered with a captivating light, as if they wanted to extract others’ Souls.

“Chensha, congratulations on your Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!”

Lu Changsheng congratulated him with a smile.

The other women also offered their congratulations.

Xu Ruyin did not feel as close to this son as she had imagined.

Or rather, she herself didn’t know how to get close to him.

In earlier years, she had only taught him to always listen to his father and make his father happy, without much mother-son heart-to-heart talks or warm family life.

Lu Changsheng sighed softly when he saw this scene.

He also felt this way when he went to the Mortal World.

So he gradually went to Ruyi County less and less.

“Your mother heard about your Foundation Establishment and specially came to see you. Later, the Lu Family will hold a family banquet to celebrate for you properly.”

Lu Changsheng patted his son’s shoulder and said, signaling him to first stabilize his Foundation.
