Chapter 182: 105: The More Children, the Better, No Need for Others to Provide for Old Age!_3
“Finally, it’s done.”
Lu Changsheng inspected his Qi Ocean Core internally.
He saw that the spiritual power in the core’s Elixir Lake had turned entirely into a rainbow of colors at this moment.
It signified that the cultivation technique he originally practiced, the Returning Origin Technique, was now completely transformed into the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture.
“Although the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture is several times more profound and difficult to practice than the Returning Origin Technique and requires several times more spiritual energy to be absorbed,”
“cultivation techniques are divided into two parts,”
“one part is the absorption of nature’s spiritual energy, which strengthens and tempers the spiritual power,”
“the other part is the understanding of the essence of the technique, which includes its realm, artistic conception, and various profound mysteries of cultivation.”
“I obtained the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture through the system, which directly eliminated the need for the second part.”
“Without spending time to comprehend the profound mysteries of the technique myself, I can cultivate at the fastest speed.”
“This has allowed me to cultivate the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, an Orthodox Level Cultivation Technique, at a speed not the slightest bit slower than the Returning Origin Technique, and even a bit faster!”
Lu Changsheng’s Sword Qi around his body converged, and his aura became calm; his eyes were bright and spirited.
The Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture might be difficult to practice,
but for someone like Lu Changsheng, who was exceptionally talented, it was even easier compared to the Returning Origin Technique.
Because this Sword Scripture was as if engraved in his mind,
allowing him to understand it inside out, ensuring no mistakes in his cultivation.
“Now that all my spiritual power has transformed into the Seven Luminaries Spiritual Power, I can also start using the Seven Luminaries Sword Qi to expel the poison of the Elixir Medicines, allowing me to consume them without any reservations.”
“With such consumption of Elixir Medicines for cultivation, I’m afraid it would only take two or three years for me to reach the peak of the Seventh Level Energy Refinement!”
“Moreover, this situation won’t affect my foundation.”
“Even more so, with the robustness of the Seven Luminaries Spiritual Power, advancing from the Seventh Level to the Eighth Level Energy Refinement will be even simpler for me.”
Lu Changsheng let out a light chuckle.
He was full of admiration for the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture.
And he understood why ‘Cultivation Techniques’ could occupy a place in the world of laws and wealth.
The benefits and wonders of a profound Cultivation Technique can’t be fully explained in a few words.
After converting to the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, Lu Changsheng didn’t continue to cultivate. He went outside to relax, chat with his wives and concubines, and play with his children.
After all, he was not one who would engage in arduous cultivation.
Night fell.
Over dinner, Lu Changsheng learned something new.
The Purple Shadow Secret Realm was about to open.
A core high-ranking member of the Lu Family, along with several elite descendants, were heading towards the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.
Lu Changsheng had heard of the Purple Shadow Secret Realm but did not know much about it.
After Xiao Yueru’s explanation, he came to know what this Purple Shadow Secret Realm was all about.
It was a secret realm jointly managed by several Immortal Sects of Jiang Country,
which could also be considered a Spiritual Vein Blessed Land.
Inside were many opportunities, and treasures of heaven and earth.
Every thirty years, the several Immortal Sects would open the realm, sending Qi Refinement disciples to explore and experience.
Besides their disciples, the Immortal Sects also allowed descendants of other families and Loose Cultivators to enter.
Because anything obtained within the realm had to pass through the hands of the Immortal Sects upon exit.
In such circumstances, the Immortal Sects were naturally willing to allow more Loose Cultivators to enter.
Other Loose Cultivators and family descendants knew this but still rushed towards the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.
Because, in addition to opportunities and various treasures, it also contained the main ingredients to refine Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
And having obtained rare opportunities and precious treasures inside, one could exchange them for Foundation Establishment Elixirs with the Immortal Sects.
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately knew.
The Lu Family’s visit to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm this time was for the Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
After all, the situation for the Lu Family right now was not optimistic.
A new Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator was urgently needed.
If we can obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir, and with the Lu Family’s strength, collect a few Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects,
perhaps our Lu Family could give birth to a new Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!
“Did the eldest miss go to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm?”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but ask.
Lu Miaoge was at the Seventh Level Energy Refinement and was considered one of the elites of the Lu Family’s younger generation.
“The Purple Shadow Secret Realm is very dangerous, Sister Miaoge is a Talisman Master, so naturally, the family wouldn’t let her go,”
“This time, Uncle Yuan Shan took my brothers Miaokun and Miaofa with him,”
Lu Miaoyun spoke out.
This wasn’t a secret,
and as a direct descendant of the Lu Family, she was also aware of some of these matters.
Lu Changsheng nodded in understanding.
He was aware of Lu Yuanshan,
a senior member of the Lu Family with the strength of Ninth Level Energy Refinement.
As for Lu Miaokun and Lu Miaofa, he wasn’t too clear about them,
but estimated that they also held the power of around the Sixth or Seventh Level Energy Refinement.
“Who knows whether the Lu Family will gain anything from the Purple Shadow Secret Realm,”
Lu Changsheng thought inwardly.
He still hoped that the Lu Family would gain something from it,
to obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir.
After all, if the Lu Family could have a new Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, he wouldn’t have to worry about the Lu Family Ancestor’s affairs anymore,
and the idea of escaping.
Although he had met the Lu Family Ancestor once before,
he felt that the ancestor didn’t seem like someone on the verge of death.
But in this time, he had also heard rumors to that effect.
He knew that when Yu Ningrong had said the Lu Family Ancestor wouldn’t live past ten years, it wasn’t unfounded.
“Foundation Establishment Elixir,”
“Foundation Establishment is an eventual step for me as well,”
“Even if I cultivate the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture and the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, and have two Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, my chances of Foundation Establishment are still not high, probably just about sixty to seventy percent,”
“But the Foundation Establishment Elixirs are basically monopolized by the major Immortal Sects, only occasionally available,”
“And once they are made available, they are usually contended for by other powers, making it very hard for Loose Cultivators to acquire one,”
Lu Changsheng also couldn’t help but think about his own future.
Though he was cultivating two Orthodox Level Cultivation Techniques—the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique and the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture—and relying on Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects for a sixty to seventy percent chance of Foundation Establishment,
to Lu Changsheng, this probability was still too low.
He absolutely required a Foundation Establishment Elixir for a sure breakthrough.
Otherwise, the risk of attempting Foundation Establishment was simply too great.
If the attempt failed, the lightest consequence would be injury and regression of cultivation,
and at worst, the meridians might sustain damage, turning one into a wasted individual, or it could even result in direct death.
Without at least ninety percent confidence—and assurances that he wouldn’t die if he failed to establish his foundation—Lu Changsheng wouldn’t risk it.
With a system by his side, he must remain as steady as an old dog!
“I obviously can’t go to a place like the Purple Shadow Secret Realm,”
“I wonder if the system could draw out some garbage elixirs, and grant me a Foundation Establishment Elixir,”
“If there was a Supreme Foundation Establishment Elixir by the system, and then I find another physical body-oriented Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, and my Spiritual Root gets an upgrade, advancing from Lower Grade to Middle Grade, then my success in Foundation Establishment would be practically guaranteed,”
Lu Changsheng thought inwardly.
He was really looking forward to the system granting him a Foundation Establishment Elixir before he prepared for it.
That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about Foundation Establishment anymore.
