Establish A Long-Lived Family From The Son-In-Law

Chapter 147: The Idea of Establishing a Family

Xiao Xiyue sat cross-legged, her face cold and dignified.

She didn't expect that she would encounter a situation where the external spiritual energy was insufficient during the critical moment of Foundation Building.

But at this stage of Foundation Building, there was no way to stop or pause.

With a wave of her delicate hand, a pile of spirit stones appeared in her storage bag, absorbing the spiritual energy within them.

Lu Changsheng noticed that most of these spirit stones were low-grade spirit stones.

There were only a few middle-grade spirit stones.

This was normal. No matter how wealthy Xiao Xiyue was, she was still just a Qi Refining cultivator.

Lu Changsheng made a decisive decision and took out hundreds of middle-grade spirit stones he had obtained from the young man in the red robe.

He squeezed them in his palm, turning them into powder and releasing the spiritual energy.

Then, a porcelain bottle appeared.

"Xiyue, Foundation Building Pill."

Lu Changsheng poured out the inferior Foundation Building Pills from the porcelain bottle.

He could tell that Xiao Xiyue hadn't taken any Foundation Building Pills.

Although he didn't know why she didn't prepare any Foundation Building Pills.

But in the current situation, for the sake of safety, he felt it was necessary to take one Foundation Building Pill.

Even if it was an inferior Foundation Building Pill.

But it was better than nothing.

Moreover, the effect of the inferior Foundation Building Pill was only poor in coordinating the three stages, converting and absorbing spiritual energy.

It could only increase the probability of Foundation Building by one percent.

In terms of protecting the meridians and dantian, its effect was the same as that of a genuine Foundation Building Pill.

It could ensure that the failure of the Foundation Building wouldn't result in a backlash.

"Foundation Building Pill?"

Xiao Xiyue's beautiful eyes widened in surprise when she saw the Foundation Building Pill in Lu Changsheng's hand.

She had seen Lu Changsheng take a Foundation Building Pill.

She didn't expect that Lu Changsheng still had one Foundation Building Pill.

It was worth noting that even the inner disciples of Qingyun Sect found it difficult to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.

Looking at Lu Changsheng's worried expression, a ripple appeared in Xiao Xiyue's calm heart.

"No need."

Xiao Xiyue gently said.

The key to condensing the Foundation Building in her cultivation technique, the Supreme Forgetfulness Art, lay in her state of mind.

As long as her state of mind was perfect, she would definitely be able to successfully condense the Foundation Building without relying on external objects.

That was why, even though she could apply for a Foundation Building Pill with her identity, she chose not to.

Moreover, the current situation was only a slight shortage of external spiritual energy.

It didn't mean that she would fail in Foundation Building due to a lack of spiritual energy.

So in this situation, she didn't want to waste Lu Changsheng's Foundation Building Pill and owe him a favor.

"Focus on Foundation Building."

Lu Changsheng ignored Xiao Xiyue's refusal and slapped his palm.

He directly pushed the Foundation Building Pill into Xiao Xiyue's mouth.

Although the Foundation Building Pill was precious, in his opinion, things were meant to be used.

Now that Xiao Xiyue was in a bad condition and there was a risk, he naturally wouldn't be stingy with the Foundation Building Pill.

Otherwise, if Xiao Xiyue's Foundation Building failed, he would also feel guilty.

Boom!

As the Foundation Building Pill entered her stomach, Xiao Xiyue immediately felt the power of the pill increasing the surrounding spiritual pressure.

This accelerated the conversion and absorption of the surrounding spiritual energy.

She watched as Lu Changsheng crushed the middle-grade spirit stones one by one, her lips slightly pursed, and closed her eyes to focus on Foundation Building.

"You think it's so easy to distance yourself from me."

"You want to run away without giving birth to three children."

Lu Changsheng naturally understood Xiao Xiyue's thoughts.

She truly liked him.

But it was also true that she wanted to repay him for helping her cultivation and saving her life, and thus distance herself from him.

In this situation, how could Lu Changsheng let go?

"What kind of person is this in Foundation Building? The spiritual energy it attracts is too terrifying!"

"Looking at the situation, Foundation Building should have ended, why is it still continuing?"

"This is even affecting the spiritual energy in our area!"

"Could this person be condensing the legendary Perfect Dao Foundation?"

"Even if it's a Perfect Dao Foundation, the amount of spiritual energy it can absorb and emit shouldn't be this large, and it shouldn't last this long, right?"

The cultivators near the Core Peak looked at the swirling vortex of spiritual energy in the sky, their faces filled with astonishment and confusion.

"What's going on? Why is there still a vortex of spiritual energy above Junior Sister Xiyue's cave, and the spiritual pressure is increasing again?"

"This spiritual vortex, when it weakened just now, had a faint colorful mist, indicating that someone has successfully built their Foundation."

"If that's the case, why is the spiritual pressure increasing again? It seems like someone else is condensing their Dao Foundation."

"Could it be that two people are simultaneously attempting to break through Foundation Building?"

Inside the Yizi Cave Mansion, a young man looked towards the spiritual vortex in the sky above the Jiazi Cave Mansion not far away, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Reporting to Master Du, this Jiazi Cave Mansion number nine is rented by Fairy Xiyue from the Caiyun Peak."

At the rental office of the cave mansion, Han, the steward, looked at the old man in a gray robe with a weathered face and a hint of immortal aura, and respectfully said.

"Caiyun Peak, Xiao Xiyue?"

This old man is the False Pill True Immortal who presides over the Qingyun Market.

Seeing such abnormal spiritual energy in the world, he couldn't help but come to inquire about who was building their Foundation.

After all, the commotion caused by this Foundation Building was indeed quite significant.

If it weren't for the fact that the Qingyun Market had a large spiritual vein.

The spiritual vein of this core peak reached the second-grade top quality, and such fluctuations in spiritual energy would affect the operation of the market's large array.

"Yes, True Immortal."

"At that time, Fairy Xiyue rented the cave mansion together with a friend, saying that they were using it to break through their cultivation realm."

"At that time, I didn't ask much, but now I think that with such abnormal spiritual energy, it should be Fairy Xiyue and her friend breaking through Foundation Building together."

Han, the steward, dared not conceal anything and respectfully said.

Although he only had Qi Refining cultivation, he had been a steward in the Qingyun Market for many years and had seen many people attempting to break through Foundation Building.

Based on the abnormal spiritual energy in the world and the fact that Xiao Xiyue rented the cave mansion with another person, he had a rough guess in his mind.

"Mm."

Upon hearing this, Master Du nodded slightly.

He roughly understood that Xiao Xiyue came to the Qingyun Market to break through Foundation Building together with a friend.

Otherwise, given Xiao Xiyue's situation, there would be no need for her to come to the Qingyun Market to break through Foundation Building.

After understanding the situation, he did not continue to inquire.

He turned into a rainbow light and left.

He also ordered people not to approach the cave mansion to avoid disturbing the situation inside.

Time passed bit by bit.

No one knew how long had passed.

The spiritual vortex in the sky above the cave mansion slowly dissipated, with a faint colorful mist lingering.

"It's done!"

In the bedroom, Lu Changsheng looked at the enchanting and alluring Xiao Xiyue in front of him.

Seeing the surging Foundation Building spiritual pressure all over her body, he immediately knew that Xiao Xiyue had successfully built her Foundation.

This made a smile appear on his face.

After all, previously, due to his own actions, the spiritual energy in the world was insufficient, which made him worry.

He was afraid that Xiao Xiyue's Foundation Building would fail.

However, just at this moment, a 'crack' sound came from within Xiao Xiyue's body.

"Poof!"

Xiao Xiyue spewed out a mouthful of blood.

"Xiyue, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Changsheng was shocked when he saw Xiao Xiyue spitting out blood, and immediately supported her, concerned.

He didn't know what was going on with her.

How could she spit out blood and have chaotic energy just after completing Foundation Building?

"I'm fine."

Xiao Xiyue opened her beautiful eyes and a hint of complexity appeared in them.

She had successfully cultivated the Tai Shang Forget Love Art, but also not quite.

Or rather, under the influence of Lu Changsheng, her state of mind was not perfect, and there were flaws.

This caused a crack to appear in the perfect Dao Foundation she had just built at the last moment.

A large amount of spiritual energy vented from the crack in the Dao Foundation and dissipated from her body.

"You're still saying you're fine like this."

Lu Changsheng, upon hearing this, had a slightly displeased expression.

Then, he held Xiao Xiyue's wrist, preparing to check her physical condition.

Generally speaking, such intimate contact and checking of someone's condition between cultivators would be considered very presumptuous.

But in this past year, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue had already been intimate with each other.

At this time, there was naturally no need to worry about being presumptuous or the difference between men and women.

Just as he held Xiao Xiyue's wrist, Lu Changsheng sensed that her body was undergoing a transformation due to the baptism of the Dao Foundation.

But at the same time, there was a surge of spiritual energy dissipating.

"It's because my state of mind is not perfect that the Dao Foundation is damaged."

Seeing Lu Changsheng's somewhat angry expression, Xiao Xiyue no longer concealed it and pursed her lips, saying softly.

It seemed that because her state of mind was flawed, she also lost some of her coldness when facing Lu Changsheng.

"The Dao Foundation is damaged?"

Lu Changsheng furrowed his brows upon hearing this.

Immediately, a strand of divine consciousness entered Xiao Xiyue's body.

Facing Lu Changsheng's actions, Xiao Xiyue did not resist.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng's divine consciousness flowed smoothly into Xiao Xiyue's dantian, where a radiant Dao platform shone brightly.

The Dao platform was entirely moon-white in color.

In the center of the platform, a pale blue moon revolved.

It was Xiao Xiyue's Taiyin Xuan Yue Dao Foundation.

However, at this moment, there was a noticeable crack on this perfect, jade-like moon-white Dao platform, from which spiritual energy was seeping out.

"Even though there is a crack in this Foundation, it is still considered a perfect Foundation."

"I wonder if my Yin and Yang Qi can repair this crack?"

Lu Changsheng looked at the obvious crack on the Foundation and thought about his Yin and Yang Qi.

He felt that it was quite coincidental.

He had just condensed his Yin and Yang Five Elements Foundation.

The Yin and Yang Qi of the Foundation could repair and refine the Foundation.

And now, Xiao Xiyue's Foundation had a crack.

It meant that Xiao Xiyue's Foundation belonged to a perfect Foundation with a crack, rather than an Innate Foundation with a defect.

"It's alright, first complete your rebirth and consolidate your cultivation. I have a way to repair your Foundation."

Lu Changsheng withdrew his divine consciousness, exhaled lightly, and said to Xiao Xiyue.

Repairing the Foundation with Yin and Yang Qi was his secret and couldn't be revealed to others.

But Xiao Xiyue was an insider, so Lu Changsheng naturally wouldn't hide it.

Besides, he also wanted to see the effect of his Yin and Yang Qi.

"Mm, repair the Foundation?"

Xiao Xiyue's cold and pale face showed a hint of surprise.

She didn't expect that Lu Changsheng would say he could repair her Foundation.

She knew very well that the treasures needed to repair a Foundation were extremely rare.

And her Foundation was a perfect one, but it had a crack due to her damaged state of mind and incomplete cultivation technique.

Repairing it was extremely difficult.

But at this moment, her Dao platform surged within her body as she was undergoing rebirth, so she didn't think much about it. She nodded slightly, gathered her focus, closed her eyes again, and began to refine her Foundation and undergo rebirth.

Seeing Xiao Xiyue close her eyes again, Lu Changsheng also began to adjust his breath and meditate to consolidate his cultivation.

When he had just completed his breakthrough, he had been focused on Xiao Xiyue's situation and didn't have time to consolidate his cultivation.

In this way, the cave restored its tranquility.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

"Hoo!"

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and exhaled lightly.

After half a month, his cultivation had been consolidated, and his aura had calmed down.

After breaking through to the Foundation Building stage, not only his cultivation, but also his physical body and overall aura had improved.

As long as he didn't engage in physical combat, it would be difficult for others to determine his true strength.

"Could this jade pendant be a rare treasure?"

"It actually makes it impossible for Foundation Building cultivators to discern its depth."

When Lu Changsheng checked his aura, he found that the jade pendant given to him by the Foundation Building female cultivator still had the effect of concealing his aura.

Even he couldn't see through it at a glance.

"Now that I've reached the Foundation Building stage, if I want to, I can go and take advantage of some opportunities."

Lu Changsheng chuckled inwardly.

He thought of the Foundation Building female cultivator who had said that if he reached the Foundation Building stage, she could give him an opportunity.

Although she didn't specify what kind of opportunity, he could imagine.

However, Lu Changsheng had no such thoughts in his mind.

He, Lu Changsheng, had come this far relying on his daily and nightly unremitting efforts.

How could he go and rely on others or take advantage of them?

Moreover, he knew that as a Foundation Building cultivator, the other party would definitely not bear him any children.

In such a situation, how could he have the comfort of a wife and children at home?

No, how could he enjoy the sweetness of life that he had achieved step by step through his own efforts?

"System."

As he saw Xiao Xiyue still in meditation, Lu Changsheng silently called out in his mind.

A system interface appeared before him.

[Name: Lu Changsheng]

[Identity: Son-in-law of the Lu family of Qingzhu Mountain]

[Cultivation: Foundation Building First Layer]

[Lifespan: 32/269]

[Talent: Fifth-grade Spirit Root, Geng Metal Body (Medium Spirit Body)]

[Cultivation Techniques: Hundred Refinement Body Technique, Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, Yin Yang Harmony Technique, Immortal Grace Technique]

【Spell: Seven Solar Sword Radiance, Seven Solar Sword Shield, Seven Solar Sword Escape.】

【Items: Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi, Golden Light Brick Talisman, Peach Blossom Gu, Black Dragon Magic Pearl, Demon Curse Life Book, Substitute Life Talisman, Profound Origin Bead, Second Tier Puppet.】

【Skills: Talisman Making (Second Tier), Puppetry (Second Tier), Spirit Slaughter (Second Tier)】

【Pets: Nine Nether Mastiff, Six-Winged Golden Silkworm】

【Offspring: 115/117】

"My lifespan has increased by 109 years."

"Is it because of the Perfect Foundation?"

Lu Changsheng looked at the changes in his lifespan bar.

Normally, breaking through Foundation Building in Qi Refining would increase one's lifespan by a hundred years.

This lifespan could fluctuate depending on the cultivation technique or the condition of the body.

For him, cultivating a sword technique and breaking through Foundation Building in Qi Refining had already added 109 years to his lifespan, which was considered quite a lot.

"At the age of thirty-two, although Foundation Building is not considered top-notch, it is still the first step."

"But with my current cultivation level, it's better to avoid unnecessary exposure and stay low for a few more years."

"Otherwise, as a son-in-law of the Lu family with only a ninth-grade spiritual root, if I were to achieve Foundation Building at the age of thirty-two, I would definitely attract the attention of malicious individuals and invite trouble."

Lu Changsheng looked at his current age and murmured to himself.

In the cultivation world, there were always some lucky individuals who obtained opportunities and achieved Foundation Building by chance.

But these lucky individuals might not necessarily stay lucky.

Once he exposed his cultivation level, there was a high probability that trouble would come knocking on his door.

Therefore, unless necessary, Lu Changsheng planned to continue maintaining the appearance of a Qi Refining cultivator.

"As for my children, I have neglected them in recent years. I need to make up for it."

Lu Changsheng looked at the section about his offspring.

In the past two years, due to various reasons such as prioritizing the cultivation of Xiao Xiyue, he had delayed having children and only had eleven more.

"And my children are gradually growing up and need to start cultivating. I should pay more attention to them."

Thinking of his eldest son, Lu Xianzhi, who had already completed Qi Refining, Lu Changsheng had initially put in some effort.

But as more and more children came along and he became busier, he barely had time to educate them.

For example, Lu Xianzhi completing Qi Refining and entering the body tempering stage, if it weren't for the system prompt, Lu Changsheng, as the father, would still be unaware.

With a slight movement of his mind, Lu Xianzhi's information appeared.

[Name: Lu Xianzhi]

[Lifespan: 12/89]

[Talent: Ninth-grade Spiritual Root]

[Strength: Qi Refining First Layer]

"Ah, a ninth-grade spiritual root."

Lu Changsheng looked at his son Lu Xianzhi's spiritual body and sighed softly.

As someone who had advanced from a ninth-grade spiritual root to a fifth-grade spiritual root, he was well aware of the difference between spiritual roots.

If his son didn't have a great opportunity, he would at most reach the later stage of Qi Refining.

"But as my son, he himself is a great opportunity."

"When I have the strength, I will establish my own family's spiritual land. With the Eternal Life Method, even if it's Foundation Building or Nascent Soul, there is hope."

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh and thought about establishing his own family.

After so many years on Qingzhu Mountain, getting married and having children, he did feel a sense of belonging.

Indeed, he considered Qingzhu Mountain as half of his home.

But the idea of establishing his own cultivation family had never been dispelled from his mind.

After all, Lu Changsheng never truly regarded himself as a member of the Lu family, he only considered Qingzhu Mountain as half of his home.

So he didn't completely integrate his children into the Lu family under his arrangements.

Because Lu Changsheng was well aware that in the future, he and his children were destined to follow a different path from the Lu family.

If he stayed in the Lu family and became the patriarch, it was highly likely that he would take charge of the Lu family.

But Lu Changsheng didn't want that.

Becoming the patriarch of the Lu family and taking charge of the family was a responsibility in his eyes.

He didn't want to bear that responsibility.

For his own children, he could invest time, energy, and resources to cultivate them one by one.

Even if they had ninth-grade spiritual roots, he was willing to spend time, energy, and resources on them.

But he couldn't do the same for the children of the Lu family.

However, if he continued to stay in the Lu family and became the patriarch, he couldn't completely ignore them either.

So in Lu Changsheng's opinion, establishing his own family with his children was the best choice.

He wouldn't forget about the Lu family either. When he had the ability, he would take care of them as much as possible and lend them a helping hand.

After all, gratitude should be repaid with kindness.

Moreover, considering the current relationship between him and the Lu family, it was impossible to sever ties completely.
