Chapter 334 Lu Miaoyun Breaks Through to Foundation Establishment, Dao Foundation Seed!
"My husband, isn't this a bit too wasteful of the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Dew?"
Lu Miaoyun was quite surprised to hear that this spiritual liquid could make spiritual plants grow for decades or even centuries in just a few days.
If this were used to cultivate the Golden Armored Bean Mother at home, wouldn't it be able to produce beans overnight?
"It's alright, let's nurture the Bean Mother first. There will be more spiritual liquid later."
Lu Changsheng naturally hadn't forgotten his Golden Armored Bean Mother.
Although the Golden Armored Bean Mother belonged to the Dao Soldier category, it could barely be considered a spiritual plant.
If the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Dew could make the Golden Armored Bean Mother produce beans overnight, then in just a few decades, his original puppet sea tactic could be fully realized as an industrialized assembly line.
Currently, although the puppet factory at home has an assembly line, it cannot be considered industrialized.
Although puppets can be manufactured to work, the production and maintenance costs of puppets are not as cheap as human labor.
The Golden Armored Warrior is different; not only is its control superior to that of puppets, but its maintenance costs are almost non-existent after production.
After the energy is depleted, bury it in spiritual soil and it will be ready in ten to fifteen days.
"Let's go, maybe Yun'er, you'll be our family's fifth Foundation Establishment cultivator."
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Although the Foundation Establishment breakthrough from the "Heaven and Earth Longevity Method" is very weak.
Not only can one not stay away from their natal spiritual plant, but their combat power is also at the bottom of the same level, only able to fight against Qi Chain cultivators.
But at least it is still a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and can be called an ancestor in the surrounding area.
"Foundation Establishment."
Lu Miaoyun pursed her lips, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
She naturally knew what the Foundation Establishment of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method was like.
But for her, this was already very remarkable!
After all, in her early years, she had no idea about Foundation Establishment, it was something she could only dream of.
"If you break through to Foundation Establishment, then I'll hold a grand Foundation Establishment ceremony for my Yun'er, and everyone will call you Ancestor Lu."
Lu Changsheng pinched his wife's still fair and tender face, like a young girl's, and chuckled.
Although he felt that such a ceremony was meaningless.
But thinking of how Lu Miaoyun had managed all the household chores for him for decades, remaining a silent and unassuming wife, he realized
that others only knew Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, and Ling Zixiao about Bihu Mountain.
Therefore, he felt he could have a small celebration if Lu Miaoyun broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, to make his wife happy.
Furthermore, this would also be good publicity for his reputation.
The old patriarch Lu was known for his loyalty and righteousness, never forgetting his wife even in wealth!
Last year's events at White Tiger Mountain had somewhat damaged Bihu Mountain and Lu Changsheng's reputation, which could be salvaged through this event.
"Husband~"
Lu Miaoyun said shyly, her voice tinged with a hint of reproach, understanding her husband's teasing.
But in her heart, she couldn't help but imagine the scene of her holding a Foundation Establishment ceremony.
Her grandmother would surely be overjoyed to know she had achieved Foundation Establishment.
Immediately, the two arrived at Lingcui Cliff.
"Greetings, Mountain Lord, Greetings, Madam."
"Father, Mother."
Immediately, cultivators and members of the Lu family bowed in greeting.
"Hmm."
Lu Changsheng nodded and briefly inquired about the cultivation of the spiritual herbs.
He rarely came to Lingxiu Cliff.
Since the spiritual herbs planted here had no age, there was really nothing to pay attention to.
After a few words of concern, he and Lu Miaoyun went to the back cliff, to the Lingming Treasure Tree.
Although this Lingming Treasure Tree had been planted for over ten years, it remained unchanged from when it was planted.
"Yun'er, I'm going to begin,"
Lu Changsheng said to Lu Miaoyun beside him.
Then he took out the Myriad Spirit Bottle and dripped a bean-sized, vibrant, jade-like drop of Myriad Spirit Heavenly Dew onto the Lingming Treasure Tree.
"Buzz—"
The Myriad Spirit Heavenly Dew directly merged into the Lingming Treasure Tree, causing the blue-gold tree to exude a vibrant, verdant life force.
At the same time, a surging aura erupted from the Lingming Treasure Tree, spreading towards Lu Miaoyun and enveloping her entirely.
"Yun'er, how is the effect?"
Lu Changsheng looked at his wife, asking if she felt anything.
Now that she has refined the Spiritual Tree into her natal spiritual root, it is essentially a part of her body.
Therefore, she can clearly understand the Spiritual Tree's condition.
"Husband, I feel the Spiritual Tree is growing wildly, so there is a continuous flow of plant essence nourishing me and improving my cultivation."
Lu Miaoyun's body was surging with spiritual energy, causing her deep blue dress to flutter even without wind.
After cultivating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, her normal meditation and cultivation, and even taking pills, had little effect. She
could only rely on the growth of the Spiritual Tree, her 'natal spiritual root,' to absorb the essence of heaven and earth to nourish herself at all times.
And at this moment, as the Spiritual Tree grew wildly, she immediately felt a surge of spiritual energy, with plant essence flowing into her body, rapidly improving her cultivation.
"Good, you can cultivate in peace."
Lu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this, letting Lu Miaoyun focus on refining the plant essence within her body.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
As time went by, countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth gathered and surged into Lu Miaoyun's body, allowing her cultivation to reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Chain. She gradually began to accumulate energy, preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
The Foundation Establishment of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method is different from that of most other cultivation methods.
Upon reaching a certain level, one will have a subtle sense that they are capable of breaking through to Foundation Establishment.
Furthermore, there are no three stages or bottlenecks in the breakthrough process.
It's just like a normal breakthrough, a natural progression!
Seeing the increasing spiritual energy around him, Lu Changsheng looked towards Biyun Peak, communicated with Xumi using his divine sense, and said, "Xumi, send the Spirit Eye Spring here."
"Check if Zixiao is in seclusion and have her come over,"
Lu Changsheng said.
From the current situation, he could tell that Lu Miaoyun was highly likely to break through to Foundation Establishment.
Since that was the case, he naturally needed to make some preparations.
Although the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method had no bottlenecks in breaking through to Foundation Establishment and was basically foolproof,
no one in his family had ever cultivated this method before, so it was better to be on the safe side.
If Lu Miaoyun really needed it, he still had a Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Whoosh!"
A golden beam of light suddenly shone onto Lingcui Cliff from Biyun Peak.
The Spirit Eye Spring within the grotto suddenly appeared beside Lu Changsheng, its water gurgling and surging with pure and rich spiritual energy.
He hadn't chosen to use this spring to create a spiritual vein earlier precisely to deal with this situation.
A moment later, a beam of light arrived from Biyun Peak; it was Ling Zixiao.
"My lord, is Miaoyun about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
Knowing Lu Miaoyun's situation, she immediately guessed what was happening upon seeing this.
"Yes, she's almost there."
Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, "So I need to trouble you, Zixiao, to set up an array to gather spiritual energy and then slightly conceal the situation."
"Thank you, Sister Ling."
Lu Miaoyun opened her eyes and thanked Ling Zixiao.
"Miaoyun is too kind."
Ling Zixiao, dressed in a blue dress, her figure voluptuous and dignified, smiled elegantly.
Then, she lightly raised her hand, and an array plate appeared. She gently moved it, causing the array flags on Lingcui Cliff to flutter.
Lingcui Cliff had already set up an array, connected to the Bihu Mountain Grand Array, and she only needed to operate it simply.
"Why is the Grand Array moving?"
"It seems to be Lingcui Cliff."
As the Grand Array was activated, someone immediately noticed the situation at Lingcui Cliff.
However, they only noticed and were not alarmed.
Because of Ling Zixiao, the array master, the Bihu Mountain Grand Array had been modified several times, and each test caused quite a stir, so everyone was used to it.
After all, Bihu Mountain could now be considered a major family, and no force would dare to cause trouble.
Two days later.
Lingcui Cliff, back cliff.
"Husband, I think I can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Lu Miaoyun said to Lu Changsheng, her face showing excitement.
Even though she had been in Bihu Mountain for so many years and knew that today was different from the past, and that she would eventually break through to the Foundation Establishment stage by cultivating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method,
she still couldn't help but feel excited when the day actually came!
"Yun'er, has the Lingming Treasure Tree finished digesting the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Dew?"
Lu Changsheng asked gently.
"There's still a little left,"
Lu Miaoyun said softly, quietly sensing the energy.
"If you feel ready, then break through directly. If you want to be more cautious, wait for the Spirit Tree to completely digest the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Dew,"
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
As he spoke, he took out a Foundation Establishment Pill from his storage ring and handed it to Lu Miaoyun.
"I have another Foundation Establishment Pill here. Yun'er, you can take it if you need it when you break through."
"So just focus on breaking through, don't worry,"
Lu Changsheng stepped forward, gently stroking his wife's hair, and said softly.
Although the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method doesn't require a Foundation Establishment
Pill for breakthroughs, he still took out this one just in case, to reassure Lu Miaoyun.
After all, if an unexpected situation arises, this Foundation Establishment Pill can protect her meridians and dantian.
"Husband..."
Lu Miaoyun didn't expect her husband to have prepared a Foundation Establishment Pill for her. Her eyes reddened, and she felt a surge of emotion.
"Hehe, just focus on breaking through,"
Lu Changsheng chuckled.
"Hmm."
Lu Miaoyun nodded, then sat cross-legged beside the Spirit Bright Tree, calmly preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Only after her cultivation had reached its limit and was almost ready to break through on its own did she begin her breakthrough.
At this moment, as if remembering something, she opened her eyes and said to Lu Changsheng, "Husband, should we call Zhenzhen and Huanhuan over?"
"The books say that watching others break through to the Foundation Establishment stage can be helpful."
"Besides, Zhenzhen, Huanhuan, and I cultivate the same technique."
Lu Miaoyun said.
The three of them cultivated the same technique; this breakthrough process might provide some reference and help to the two women.
"Yun'er, you're very thoughtful."
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and nodded, finding it reasonable.
He then transformed into a streak of light and arrived at the Lu family mansion, calling his wife Lu Miaohuan and Qu Zhenzhen over.
If Lu Miaoyun easily broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it would be encouraging for the two women's future.
If anything unexpected happens, they can learn from the experience and avoid taking unnecessary detours.
A short while later, Qu Zhenzhen and Lu Miaohuan arrived at Lingcui Cliff.
They were quite surprised to learn that Lu Miaoyun was about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
They knew that the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method was a very slow cultivation process, relying entirely on one's natal spiritual plant.
The spiritual vein environment of Bihu Mountain was only average, and the spiritual plants grew slowly, so Lu Miaoyun would likely need another ten or even several decades to break through.
However, after learning that Lu Changsheng would help, the two women felt relieved.
After all, after so many years, Lu Changsheng was already considered omnipotent in their eyes.
It was nothing for Lu Miaoyun to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage ahead of schedule.
"Sister Miaoyun, you can definitely do it!"
Qu Zhenzhen cheered.
"Yes."
Under their watchful eyes, Lu Miaoyun sat cross-legged beside the Lingming Treasure Tree, slowly circulating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, beginning her breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
A bright green aura flowed within Lu Miaoyun's body, permeating a fresh and rich aura of life.
This aura shared the same origin as the Spiritual Tree beside her, causing the tree's seemingly cracked bark to gradually flow with a blue-gold luster.
Then, the two auras gradually merged, making the person and the tree one.
"Whoosh—"
The surrounding spiritual energy gradually surged towards Lu Miaoyun and the Spiritual Tree, entering their bodies.
However, compared to ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, this speed of absorbing spiritual energy and the spiritual pressure vortex were only average.
Even with the Spiritual Eye Spring, there was no need to absorb or expel the surrounding spiritual energy.
"Using her natal spiritual plant to withstand the physical and magical energy barriers of the three Foundation Establishment stages?"
Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaoyun, his eyes slightly narrowed.
He could see that the spiritual energy was mainly absorbed by the Spiritual Tree.
The Spiritual Tree, along with streams of emerald green plant essence and the tree's own essence, flowed into Lu Miaoyun's body, transforming it into pure magical power.
Normal cultivators breaking through to Foundation Establishment need to withstand a high-intensity infusion of spiritual energy.
Then, this spiritual energy is refined and continuously compressed until it liquefies, transforming into magical power to support the Dao Platform.
The Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, however, completes these steps through the natal spiritual plant.
"Then what about the third stage, the Divine Consciousness Stage?"
"Could it be that because of the natal spiritual plant, there's no need to rely on one's own divine consciousness to support the Dao Platform, so whether or not one has divine consciousness is irrelevant?" "
Once one breaks through to Foundation Establishment, one's mind and spirit will naturally transform, and divine consciousness will be born?"
Lu Changsheng pondered.
He roughly understood why the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method's breakthrough to Foundation Establishment had no bottlenecks and was a natural progression.
Because once the cultivation level reached a certain point, everything could be handled by the natal spiritual plant; there was no need for the cultivator to do anything.
Normal cultivators breaking through to Foundation Establishment not only had to endure the infusion of spiritual energy to stabilize themselves but also had to wholeheartedly refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Then, their mind and spirit would transform, giving birth to divine consciousness, which would then connect with the Dan Lake to support the Dao Platform.
Slight errors in these steps could lead to failure in Foundation Establishment.
The biggest problem for cultivators with lower-grade spiritual roots who find it difficult to break through to Foundation Establishment is the absorption and transformation of spiritual energy by their spiritual roots.
Because of the poor absorption and conversion, the process was not only much more difficult, but also allowed no room for error.
It even required the use of Foundation Establishment Pills and other Foundation Establishment spiritual objects to meet the requirements.
"This Heaven and Earth Longevity Method is truly profound,"
Lu Changsheng thought to himself, marveling at the mystery of this cultivation technique.
Although the grade of this technique was unknown, it was at least a side path, not a mainstream one.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
Lu Miaoyun gradually entered the final stage of her breakthrough.
The spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth in Lingcui Cliff also gradually surged, frantically pouring into the Lingming Treasure Tree.
However, due to the presence of the Spirit Eye Spring, although it caused some commotion, it didn't, like most Foundation Establishment breakthroughs, devour the surrounding spiritual energy, forming a terrifying vortex in the air.
During this time, Lu Changsheng told Ling Zixiao to go back and rest, and Qu Zhenzhen and Lu Miaohuan to also go back and rest, promising to call them again during the final stage.
After all, waiting for the Foundation Establishment process was indeed tedious and boring.
Especially for Lu Miaoyun's situation, it was practically uneventful.
As long as he doesn't interrupt himself or cause any trouble, he'll definitely succeed.
However, as her husband, unless something major happens, he'll stay here and quietly accompany her.
Another half month passed.
The spiritual energy fluctuations of Lingcui Cliff gradually returned to calm.
A hazy rainbow appeared in the sky, as if congratulating her on her successful Foundation Establishment.
"She's done!"
Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaoyun, a faint smile on his face.
He knew that she had broken through to Foundation Establishment, raised the Dao Platform, and was undergoing baptism, shedding her mortal form.
"Hey, Sister Miaoyun seems to have become younger again." Qu
Zhenzhen, standing beside her, looked at Lu Miaoyun and
immediately noticed that Lu Miaoyun looked much younger.
"Hehe."
Lu Changsheng shook his head and chuckled.
He thought to himself that his eternal youth, always looking like he was twenty years old, probably put some pressure on his wife.
After all, relatively speaking, women care more about this aspect than men.
Although Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and others had taken anti-aging pills and beauty pills in their early years...
However, this kind of elixir doesn't grant eternal youth, but only slows down aging.
Although Lu Miaoyun currently appears to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, quite young, she probably wants to be even younger.
Therefore, by utilizing the properties of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, she has restored her appearance to the age she was when she married Lu Changsheng, around seventeen or eighteen years old.
This change makes Qu Zhenzhen and Lu Miaohuan somewhat envious.
After all, Lu Miaoyun had become much younger and more beautiful in her early years due to the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method.
Now, she has directly become seventeen or eighteen years old, and her temperament is even more fresh and refined, like a lotus emerging from water, naturally making them extremely envious. "
Husband!"
After a moment, Lu Miaoyun opened her eyes.
Perhaps because she had just broken through, her eyes shone with a blue-gold luster.
But this did not affect the tenderness and sweetness in her eyes as she looked at Lu Changsheng.
"Congratulations on my Yun'er's breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!"
Lu Changsheng's face was full of smiles as he bowed to his wife in congratulations.
Although Lu Miaoyun looks much younger, like she was seventeen or eighteen years old,
she exudes a dignified and beautiful aura that only a mature woman possesses.
"Congratulations on breaking through to Foundation Establishment, Sister Miaoyun!"
Qu Zhenzhen congratulated Lu Miaoyun.
Then, quite naturally, she took Lu Miaoyun's arm and asked, "Sister Miaoyun, how come you suddenly look so young?"
"Hey, Sister Miaoyun, your skin seems to have improved a lot, and you smell so nice."
She and Lu Miaoyun were very close, often playing and joking around with Lu Changsheng together.
"Miaoyun, congratulations on breaking through to Foundation Establishment."
Lu Miaohuan, dressed in a beautiful black palace dress, her figure tall and graceful, congratulated Lu Miaoyun.
A hint of envy appeared deep in her beautiful eyes, and she felt a growing urgency and anticipation for refining the Demonic Flower of the Demonic Prison.
More than two years had passed, and Qu Zhenzhen was almost ready to refine the Auspicious Tree into her natal spiritual root and begin cultivating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method.
However, she had not yet completed the baptism and established a connection with the Demonic Flower of the Demonic Prison.
"I just broke through to Foundation Establishment, and I vaguely knew that the technique could return me to my youth and keep me young forever, so I wanted to look younger,"
Lu Miaoyun said somewhat shyly.
After all, she was fifty years old, yet she acted like a young girl.
However, she did have some ulterior motives.
She didn't want to look older than her husband, Lu Changsheng.
So she set her appearance to that of an eighteen-year-old, the age when she first met Lu Changsheng.
"Is that so? Then when I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, can I do the same?"
Qu Zhenzhen asked.
Although she didn't really mind her current appearance,
seeing Lu Miaoyun's situation piqued her interest.
"Of course you can,"
Lu Miaoyun smiled.
After chatting for a while, Lu Changsheng asked his wife, "Yun'er, have you experienced any changes after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
He was certain his wife had successfully broken through.
However, he sensed that her process of raising the Dao Platform and shedding her mortal form was different from that of normal cultivators.
Therefore, he wanted to know the difference between breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage using the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method and a normal breakthrough.
"Husband, my breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage wasn't as you said, raising the Dao Platform and shedding my mortal form in the Dan Lake, but rather condensing a Dao Foundation seed in the Dan Lake,"
Lu Miaoyun said.
"A Foundation Establishment Seed? Let me see."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
He then grasped Lu Miaoyun's wrist and examined her condition with his divine sense.
Lu Changsheng's first impression was that Lu Miaoyun's body did not resemble that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, even those with only a mediocre Foundation Establishment and no body refinement, would not be much weaker than ordinary martial artists or body refinement cultivators after breaking through to Foundation Establishment and undergoing the baptism of time, shedding their mortal form.
However, Lu Miaoyun's physical body was still extremely fragile, like that of a Qi Refining cultivator.
Only her mana, flesh, blood, meridians, and bones flowed with a rich life force.
"Is this why the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique grants a lifespan far exceeding that of cultivators of the same level?"
"Abandoning all offensive and defensive methods, all for the sake of longevity."
Lu Changsheng murmured to himself.
Although he knew the general effects of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique before, he did not have a clear understanding of it.
But at this moment, through Lu Miaoyun's breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, he gained a profound understanding of the abandonment of combat techniques described in this technique.
Whether it's magical power or the physical body, it's all for the sake of longevity, to live longer.
It's understandable that after Lu Miaoyun's breakthrough, she seemed to regain her youth, her youth lasting forever.
He continued to probe with his divine sense, looking at Lu Miaoyun's dantian.
In the dantian, he saw a thumb-sized, semi-liquid, semi-solid, blue-gold seed shrouded in green.
This seed exuded a rich life force, flowing through Lu Miaoyun's meridians and limbs along with her dantian's magical power.
It was constantly nourishing her flesh, blood, bones, and internal organs.
"Is this the foundation seed of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method?"
Lu Changsheng examined the seed.
He sensed the aura of the Spiritual Treasure Tree within it, as if this were a seed of the Spiritual Treasure Tree.
However, he could see that it wasn't a true plant species,
but something between a tree species and a foundation seed.
"Yun'er uses the Spiritual Bright Tree as her natal spiritual root, so the Dao Foundation Seed she condensed shares the same root and origin as the Spiritual Bright Tree."
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, not seeing anything wrong with it.
He just felt that this situation was truly rare.
"When breaking through to Foundation Establishment, the Dao Foundation is the seed, so what about the True Core that condenses after breaking through to Core Formation?"
Lu Changsheng couldn't help but wonder.
He then asked Lu Miaoyun what the effects of this Dao Foundation Seed were, and what she felt.
"This seed has an ability called the Eye of Spiritual Brightness."
"It allows me to see through illusions, illusions, and concealment techniques,"
Lu Miaoyun said.
Chapter 335 The Eye of Clarity, Testing the Sword in the Purple Netherworld Secret Realm
"The Eye of Clarity can see through illusions, illusions, and concealment techniques."
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing Lu Miaoyun's words.
As far as he knew, a shattered Dao Foundation, or a flawed Dao Foundation, had virtually no effects other than the characteristics of the cultivation technique.
Only a flawless Dao Foundation or higher possessed unique abilities.
Unexpectedly, the Dao Foundation seed condensed by Lu Miaoyun's Heaven and Earth Longevity Method had such an effect; it was quite surprising.
However, this Dao Foundation effect was somewhat like a magical ability.
(Please remember that Taiwan Novel Network has a large library, ƚɯƙαɳ.ƈσɱ super complete website, for the fastest chapter updates)
An ability obtained from the Spiritual Treasure Tree.
After all, the effect of the Spiritual Treasure Tree was to condense Spiritual Essence.
The essence could be used to wipe the eyes, making them clear and bright, and enhancing supernatural abilities related to the spiritual eye; obtaining such an ability was plausible.
"Could it be that by using the Spirit Brightening Elixir to wipe one's eyes for a long time, reaching the limit, one can gain this ability of the Spirit Brightening Eye?"
Lu Changsheng paused, a guess forming in his mind.
He had tried wiping his eyes with the Spirit Brightening Elixir before.
However, because the elixir was produced by Lu Miaoyun, the amount was too small, and he felt nothing at all, not even as good as when he cultivated with Lu Miaoyun.
After so many years of cultivating with Lu Miaoyun, he did feel that his eyesight had become much clearer.
"That's good. In the future, if the children in the family acquire any treasures while traveling, we can ask Yun'er to take a look." "
Or if any spies want to infiltrate our home, Yun'er will be able to see through their disguises at a glance."
Lu Changsheng said with a smile, not paying too much attention.
Lu Miaoyun's ability was very suitable for exploring ruins and caves.
However, he couldn't let his wife do such a thing.
In addition, due to the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, Lu Miaoyun could not stray too far from spiritual plants, and could not even leave the area of Bihu Mountain.
Otherwise, even without exploring any ruins or secret realms, this Eye of Clarity could easily make one a treasure appraiser, finding hidden gems.
"It's not that amazing."
"But I feel a greater affinity and understanding of plants and spirits."
"With a little more time, I estimate I'll master the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique, the Earth Spirit Nourishing Technique, and the Myriad Trees Dew Technique, becoming a second-tier spirit plant master."
Lu Miaoyun smiled, continuing to share her joy.
Besides recognizing and identifying spirit plants, a spirit plant master primarily needs to master spirit plant techniques.
Techniques like the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique, the Earth Spirit Nourishing Technique, and the Myriad Trees Dew Technique are advanced techniques for spirit plant masters.
"As expected of my Yun'er, truly wonderful."
Lu Changsheng embraced his beloved wife, praising her.
Since gradually handing over household affairs to their children and cultivating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, Lu Miaoyun and the others have spent their time on various cultivation arts.
After all, when you have free time, you always need to find something to do to pass the time.
Skills like array formation, alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making require high talent and are expensive to master.
Therefore, she and Qu Zhenzhen usually studied spiritual plants, spiritual cooking, winemaking, medicine, and music.
Due to the characteristics of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique, their offensive spells were ineffective.
Even their fire control, insect-killing, and corruption spells were much weaker than those of cultivators of the same level.
However, they were quite effective at healing spells, stimulating spells, and spring breeze spells, making them very suitable for pursuing careers as spiritual plant masters and physicians.
"No, it's all thanks to you, my husband!"
Lu Miaoyun said sweetly, clinging to Lu Changsheng's arm.
She had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and was overjoyed, her every smile radiating happiness.
"Hehe, let's go home and celebrate our Yun'er's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Lu Changsheng ruffled her hair, intending to take his three wives back to the Lu family mansion for a proper celebration.
"Husband, wait a moment,"
Lu Miaoyun said immediately, squatting down beside the Spirit Bright Tree and gently raising her hand.
A clear, azure liquid with a hint of gold shimmered slowly flowed from the tree's roots.
It was the Spirit Bright Liquid condensed by the Spirit Bright Tree!
"Husband, this is the Spirit Bright Liquid condensed by the Spirit Bright Tree. If you use it to cleanse your eyes regularly, it should develop abilities similar to the Eye of Spirit Brightness,"
Lu Miaoyun said to Lu Changsheng, her magic enveloping the crystalline liquid.
"I almost forgot about this,"
Lu Changsheng said, examining the liquid before him.
Every thirty years, the Spirit Bright Tree condenses a portion of Spirit Bright Liquid at its roots.
However, he had been completely focused on Lu Miaoyun's breakthrough to Foundation Establishment and had forgotten about this liquid.
This made him realize that the combination of the Myriad Spirit Bottle and the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method was quite effective.
Not only could it steadily improve his wife's cultivation, but the growth and harvest of the spiritual plants would also not be neglected.
He took out a porcelain bottle from his storage ring, carefully stored the elixir, and handed it to Lu Miaoyun, saying, "Yun'er, give this elixir to Zixiao later."
"She's an array master who has cultivated the Spirit Eye Technique; this elixir will be of considerable help to her,"
Lu Changsheng explained, instructing Lu Miaoyun to use this opportunity to thank Ling Zixiao.
He hoped to foster a closer relationship between the two.
"Okay~"
Lu Miaoyun nodded in agreement.
The three returned to Biyun Peak, to the Lu family mansion.
"Hey, you're Sister Yun!"
"Auntie, how come you suddenly look so young?"
Several concubines and children in the courtyard were astonished to see Lu Miaoyun.
"Hehe, I have some good news to announce. Yun'er broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage today,"
Lu Changsheng said with a smile .
He was already planning a Foundation Establishment ceremony for Lu Miaoyun, so naturally he had no intention of hiding the news.
"Ah! Congratulations
, Sister Yun!" "Congratulations, Auntie!"
"Congratulations, Auntie!"
The concubines and children were all surprised and offered their congratulations.
Their words and eyes revealed respect and envy.
It wasn't just respect for Lu Miaoyun, his legal wife!
It was also respect for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a Foundation Establishment Ancestor!
Afterwards, Lu Changsheng called his son, Lu Yun, and asked him to prepare for the Foundation Establishment ceremony.
"Ah, Mother, you broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage!?"
Lu Yun looked at Lu Miaoyun, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, completely bewildered.
To his utter astonishment, his mother had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage in just a short time, leaving him completely dumbfounded and feeling as if he were in a dream.
"Isn't it normal for your mother to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"If you cultivate diligently, you might have a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the future,"
Lu Changsheng said to his son.
With so many children in the family, he couldn't possibly support them all.
But as long as his children were ambitious enough and could cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining with the family's resources,
he, as their father, would prepare Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects for them to try to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
"What's normal about it?"
Lu Yun wanted to say.
But he still obediently and respectfully replied, "Your son will definitely work hard."
Then he bowed to his mother, Lu Miaoyun, to congratulate her, "Your son congratulates you on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, your magical power is greatly enhanced, your immortal path is everlasting, and you are expected to form your Core in the future!"
"Where did you learn such a boastful attitude? The path of cultivation requires being down-to-earth and not being greedy for more,"
Lu Miaoyun said, rolling her eyes at her son.
"Yun'er is right. Now that you've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Core Formation is just around the corner; it's only a matter of time,"
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
"Husband~"
Lu Miaoyun thought of the Longevity Method and the Dew of Ten Thousand Spirits, and realized that Core Formation seemed within reach. She looked at Lu Changsheng with tender affection.
"???"
Lu Yun looked at the situation and felt somewhat superfluous, completely unsure how to respond to his parents.
"Husband, there's no need for a grand ceremony. We can just celebrate at home,"
Lu Miaoyun said, linking arms with Lu Changsheng.
She wasn't a big fan of large gatherings and felt that a small celebration between the Bihu Mountain and Qingzhu Mountain families would suffice.
"We should still have some celebrations, but nothing too extravagant."
"Just invite anyone in the area around Bihu Mountain who has business dealings with our family,"
Lu Changsheng said after a moment's thought.
"Father, what day should we hold it?" Lu
Yun immediately asked.
"You can arrange those yourself,"
Lu Changsheng waved his hand, feeling that such a small matter was insignificant.
"The date is set for two months from now. No need to make it complicated, just a small celebration will do,"
Lu Miaoyun instructed, worried that her son might be unsure.
After giving these instructions, Lu Changsheng held a family banquet that evening to celebrate.
The other concubines, upon hearing the news, all looked at Lu Miaoyun with envy and respect.
This was especially true of some of the daughters of Lu Changsheng's families who had married later.
They all possessed considerable talent, with mid-grade spiritual roots.
If they cultivated diligently, even if childbirth delayed them by three to five years, or even ten years,
they still had a chance to reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining and attempt to break through to Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty .
However, without the necessary resources, they dared not attempt to break through to Foundation Establishment.
To attempt it would be tantamount to suicide!
Now, seeing Lu Miaoyun break through to Foundation Establishment, they naturally guessed that Lu Changsheng had supported her with resources.
A wave of envy washed over them, and they hoped that one day they too could receive Lu Changsheng's favor and be supported in their own Foundation Establishment.
"I wonder if I'll be able to give birth to a son of exceptional talent."
One of the concubines looked at her protruding belly, hoping her womb would cooperate and produce a son of exceptional talent, thus gaining Lu Changsheng's favor.
Having lived on Bihu Mountain for so many years, they roughly knew that
without extraordinary abilities, the only way to gain Lu Changsheng
's favor was through the birth of a son. Take, for example, a concubine named Shao Yuyao, who was originally a maid bought by Lu Changsheng.
Yet, because she gave birth to a son with a fourth-grade spiritual root, Lu Qingxuan, her treatment far surpassed that of many of them.
Another concubine, Xia Zhiyue, had given birth to four children, all with mid-grade spiritual roots, and her treatment was the envy of all.
Late at night.
Inside an antique-style room on Biyun Peak.
Afterwards!
Afterwards!
Afterwards!
"Mmm, my husband."
Lu Miaoyun, who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage today, was now limp as a rag doll, her fresh and refined face flushed with a languid blush, her delicate brows and eyes radiating a charming allure.
Although she had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique had given her extraordinary stamina and recovery ability, she was still no match for Lu Changsheng's pounding.
After all, Lu Changsheng's stamina was simply inconceivable.
In recent years, their intimate moments had mostly been with Qu Zhenzhen, or Xiaoqing, Xia Zhiyue, Shao Yuyao, and others.
They had rarely had intimate moments alone with Lu Changsheng.
Only today, after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, did they celebrate properly and relive their wedding night together.
"Yun'er, do you still want more?"
Lu Changsheng activated the Love and Intimacy Technique, holding his charming little wife in his arms, and whispered softly in her ear.
Although she looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, her physique and temperament were somewhere between youth and maturity.
She possessed both the dignified elegance of a virtuous wife and loving mother, with a full and soft figure, and the youthful vitality, tenderness, and elasticity of a young girl.
Moreover, due to the Longevity Method of Heaven and Earth, Lu Miaoyun's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage gave her body a rich and refreshing fragrance. It
was somewhat similar to the Spiritual Tree, but completely different.
It was a fragrance unique to women, like the scent of flowers, very pleasant and refreshing.
"No, no more..."
Lu Miaoyun's voice was weak and feeble, her delicate body trembling slightly with a rosy glow.
At this moment, she truly didn't want to move a single finger, resting her sweaty head against Lu Changsheng's chest.
"Hehe, then... is Yun'er comfortable?"
Lu Changsheng could see that his wife was indeed tired, and estimated that if she continued, she would faint, so he carried her back to the bed.
He thought to himself that probably only a Core Formation female cultivator, no, a high-level body cultivator, could endure his whims alone.
"..."
Even after decades of marriage, Lu Miaoyun still found it difficult to utter such shameful words.
Knowing her husband often teased them like this, she closed her eyes and whispered, "Comfortable."
"Husband, why don't you go find Huanhuan and the others?"
Lu Miaoyun, gently placed on the bed, her smooth, white body glistening with sweat, whispered.
"It's alright, I'll keep Yun'er company tonight."
Lu Changsheng cast a cleaning spell, tidying the room, then quietly held his wife as they went to bed, experiencing the effects of the Love's Bond Technique.
Since dual cultivation with Lu Miaoyun provided some clarity of vision, he wanted to try having her cultivate the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Technique.
However, he discovered that the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique was exclusive.
Once cultivated, it was difficult to cultivate other techniques, even auxiliary ones.
However, through his own Love's Bond Technique, he could feel the increased benefits of dual cultivation with Lu Miaoyun.
But these benefits were still minimal; only over many years would a noticeable effect appear.
Lu Changsheng didn't pay much attention to this.
After all, the effect of dual cultivation was an unexpected bonus for him.
He hadn't expected to gain any benefits or abilities through it.
Several days later,
news of Lu Miaoyun, the matriarch of the Lu family, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage gradually spread.
This news didn't cause much of a stir.
Compared to last year, when Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge suppressed the Grand Elder of Golden Dragon Ridge, and the Jin family patriarch personally went to Bihu Mountain to apologize, presenting a Core Formation spiritual item, and even stating that Lu Changsheng had the potential to form a Core Formation
, this breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was nothing special for Bihu Mountain.
It only made many families and forces begin to learn about Lu Miaoyun, the matriarch of the Lu family.
However, this news greatly shocked Qingzhu Mountain.
It was like a boulder crashing into a calm lake.
The new generation of Qingzhu Mountain disciples might not know,
but Lu Yuanding, Lu Miaochang, and other cultivators of the Yuan and Miao generations of the Lu family were still around and naturally knew about Lu Miaoyun's situation.
A seventh-grade spiritual root!
In terms of cultivation, she was only average, with nothing particularly outstanding.
But now, Lu Miaoyun had actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
"Miaoyun has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Lu Yuanding, Lu Miaochang, Lu Miaofeng, Lu Muping, and the others were speechless upon hearing this news.
They all felt as if they were dreaming.
After a long while, they calmed down and were even more astonished by Lu Changsheng's methods and foundation.
Back then, with Lu Changsheng's help, Lu Miaoge broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage; at least Lu Miaoge was a Foundation Establishment seed to begin with.
Lu Miaoyun, on the other hand, was the kind of person who had absolutely no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
But now, she had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, becoming a high and mighty Foundation Establishment Ancestor, someone that everyone could look up to!
"Yun'er has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage! Xiaoyu, is this really true? You can't lie to your great-grandmother!"
The Fourth Elder looked at her great-granddaughter, full of disbelief.
She knew her granddaughter's situation perfectly well.
Although Lu Miaoyun had previously said that she couldn't leave Bihu Mountain because she was cultivating a certain technique.
But this sudden breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage still felt too unbelievable to her; it was absolutely impossible.
"Great-Grandma, of course it's true! Why would I lie to you?"
Lu Yu said with a wry smile.
However, when she first heard the news and saw her mother's appearance, she was also incredibly surprised.
"Mother can't come to pick you up herself, so she asked me to take you to Bihu Mountain for a short stay. You'll see then,"
Lu Yu said playfully, linking arms with her great-grandmother.
"Alright, alright, Great-grandmother will go with you,"
the Fourth Elder nodded repeatedly, thinking that the other woman wouldn't lie to her like that, and got up to head to Bihu Mountain.
Although she went to Bihu Mountain regularly, she was getting old and only went back occasionally.
Soon after, Lu Yuanding, the new head of the Qingzhu Mountain family, Lu Munian, along with Lu Yu and the Fourth Elder, headed to Bihu Mountain.
After all, the ceremony was still a long way off.
These people were going to visit and offer their congratulations.
Hundred Birds Lake.
The Bai family also received news of Lu Miaoyun's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage at Bihu Mountain immediately.
"Let's go to Bihu Mountain to congratulate her!"
Upon hearing the news, Bai Yunyang, the patriarch of the Bai family, immediately took two of the family's promising members to Bihu Mountain to offer their congratulations.
In recent years, thanks to the cooperation between Red Leaf Valley Market and Bihu Mountain, Hundred Birds Lake had steadily risen in popularity.
Not only does the family possess several Foundation Establishment seeds, but they also have the financial resources to acquire Foundation Establishment Pills to cultivate new Foundation Establishment cultivators.
However, Foundation Establishment Pills are incredibly rare!
Upon hearing this news, they immediately guessed that Lu Changsheng might possess
Foundation Establishment Pills. Therefore, they hoped to purchase them through their family connections and relationships.
After all, of the four great families of yesteryear, the Yu family had been replaced by Lu Changsheng, and Centipede Ridge had changed its surname to Xu.
Green Bamboo Mountain also had two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
If you include Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaoyun, there were a total of four Foundation Establishment Grandmasters.
Meanwhile, the Bai family was currently relying solely on him.
For family patriarchs like theirs, with only one Foundation Establishment cultivator, being confined within the family for so long was akin to imprisonment.
Unable to venture out to seek opportunities and comprehend the Great Dao, and with limited cultivation resources, their cultivation was difficult to advance, almost certainly never breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in their lifetime.
Moreover, the family couldn't expand outwards; if something happened to the Foundation Establishment patriarch, the family would plummet.
Bihu Mountain.
"Grandma, Father-in-law."
Upon learning that the Fourth Elder and Lu Yuanding had arrived, Lu Changsheng immediately brought his son Lu Yun and wives Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaohuan to greet them.
He also asked Xumi to inform Lu Miaoge.
These past few days, Lu Miaoge had been in seclusion in her cave, preparing to break through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, so she rarely showed herself.
"Great-grandmother, maternal grandfather."
"Grandma, uncle."
Lu Miaoyun was overjoyed to see her grandmother.
After all, due to the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, she couldn't actively go to Green Bamboo Mountain.
And the old woman was getting on in years and didn't want to travel much.
"Hmm? You are... Yun'er?"
The Fourth Elder was slightly taken aback when she saw Lu Miaoyun.
If the other woman hadn't called her, she wouldn't have recognized her.
She even wondered if Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun had another daughter.
"Grandma, it's me, Yun'er."
Lu Miaoyun was both amused and exasperated, not expecting her grandmother to not recognize her.
However, considering her changed appearance, it was understandable that the Fourth Elder wouldn't recognize her at first.
"Good, good, just like when you were little."
The Fourth Elder looked her granddaughter up and down, gently stroking her face, nodding with a smile, her joy overflowing.
After a while, she said in an aged voice, "Yun'er, I heard from Xiaoyu that you broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Is that true?"
Even now, she still couldn't believe that her granddaughter had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Grandma, of course it's true."
Lu Miaoyun said with a smile, revealing her Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure aura.
Although the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method was very illusory
, this cultivation aura was still undeniable.
"Good, good, good! I never thought that in my lifetime, I would actually see my Yun'er become a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator."
The old woman was full of satisfaction, her eyes slightly red.
To her, her granddaughter breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and becoming a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator was like her ancestors' graves shining with golden light, bringing glory to her ancestors!
She chatted with Lu Miaoyun for a while before turning to Lu Changsheng, grasping his hand, and saying, "Changsheng, thank you for your hard work."
The Fourth Elder knew that her granddaughter's breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was definitely thanks to Lu Changsheng.
Otherwise, given her granddaughter's condition, how could she possibly have broken through to Foundation Establishment?
"Grandma, there's no hardship involved. I'm raising a giant dragon carp, just waiting for you to come,"
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
But looking at the Fourth Elder's aged appearance and dejected air, a touch of sadness and regret welled up in his heart.
Although the old man before him had taken first- and second-tier longevity pills,
his lifespan was still limited.
After all, Qi Refining cultivators were only theoretically 120 years old, but very few actually lived to that age.
The Fourth Elder had been a talisman master in his early years, drawing talismans for many years, which had consumed a lot of his mental and physical energy.
Now, at over 110 years old, he estimated that he had about ten years left to live.
"Good, good, good, Changsheng, you're very kind."
The Fourth Elder's face was full of gratified smiles, and then he looked at his great-grandson and said, "Yun'er, Xiaoyu, you should also work hard and strive to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the future."
"Yes, Great-Grandma."
The brother and sister exchanged a glance and nodded in response.
"Father-in-law, Sister Miaoge is currently in seclusion, breaking through her cultivation barrier. I have already sent a message to inform her."
At this moment, Lu Changsheng explained to Lu Yuanding.
This father-in-law was now over eighty years old.
His hair was completely gray, and his face was somewhat aged, no longer possessing the refined and youthful appearance he once had.
"It's alright, it's alright, cultivation is the most important thing."
Lu Yuanding waved his hand and said this.
Looking at Lu Yun and Lu Yu, he couldn't help but think of his grandsons Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu, and a hint of envy and longing appeared in his eyes.
Although they were all family, he was always closer to his own daughter's children.
Especially Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu, who were practically raised by him, their maternal grandfather.
"Grandma, Father-in-law, you must be tired from your journey. Let's go inside first."
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng led the two to the Lu family mansion and said to his son Lu Yun, "Yun'er, you and Mu Nian should talk more when you have time."
He naturally knew why Qingzhushan had brought Lu Mu Nian here.
The hope was that the two families would visit each other more often and grow closer.
"Yes, Father."
"Uncle, take care."
The two nodded in response.
Yue Kingdom, Jin Yang Sect.
"You're going to the Purple Nether Secret Realm?"
Tian Yuan Zhenren looked at Lu Qingshan with some surprise.
Although the Purple Nether Secret Realm was in Jiang Kingdom, since the two countries were adjacent, even cultivators from Yue Kingdom would travel there.
"Yes, I will be going to the Azure Nether Secret Realm in four years." "
Now that the Purple Nether Secret Realm is about to open, I plan to take this opportunity to test my sword and hone my skills."
"Moreover, I promised Xiao Zhu'er that I would take her home after I broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage." "
But after I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I certainly won't have time to go home with Xiao Zhu'er regarding the Azure Nether Secret Realm."
"So I thought that this trip to the Purple Nether Secret Realm would also allow me to take Xiao Zhu'er home to visit."
Lu Qingshan was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a tall and straight figure. He grinned.
"In that case, I'll escort you and Qingzhu there later."
After a moment's thought, Master Tianyuan agreed.
Although the Purple Nether Secret Realm was dangerous,
Lu Qingshan's current combat strength below the Foundation Establishment stage was practically invincible, so he wouldn't encounter much danger.
Furthermore, the overlord of Jiang Kingdom was the Heavenly Sword Sect, a top-tier sword cultivator sect!
This trip to the Purple Nether Secret Realm would allow Lu Qingshan to spar with the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, a chance for him to hone his skills.
When Lu Qingshan returned from the Purple Nether Secret Realm and broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he would have a better grasp of the Azure Nether Secret Realm.
"Thank you, Master!"
Lu Qingshan immediately cupped his hands and smiled.
He then bid farewell to his master to inform his sister of the news.
