Chapter 243: Chapter 123: Foundation Establishment, Sorted!_3
Eight hours later, they returned to Qingzhu Mountain.
Under the pitch-dark night, the entire Qingzhu Mountain emitted a faint spiritual light.
It looked like it was draped in a layer of green gauze, solemn and mystical.
Lu Changsheng could tell that this effect was due to the activation of Qingzhu Mountain’s great formation to a certain extent.
Keeping the great formation active must have consumed a considerable amount of energy.
The clan elders guarding Qingzhu Mountain saw that it was Fourth Elder and the others, and they immediately opened part of the formation to inquire about the frontline situation.
Upon learning that the Lu Family and Bai Family had successfully taken Red Leaf Valley, they were overjoyed and welcomed everyone inside.
“Changsheng, Miaoyun, you have also worked hard all day, go back and rest early.”
After entering Qingzhu Valley, Fourth Elder said to Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun.
She still needed to arrange treatment for the wounded with the other elders.
This battle had resulted in quite a few of the Lu Family disciples sustaining injuries that required treatment.
“Grandma, you should rest early too.”
Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun nodded in agreement.
They immediately went back to rest.
There were still lights on in the house.
Qu Zhenzhen and a few maidservants had not yet rested, obviously worried about them.
Seeing Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun return, they immediately felt relieved.
“It’s all right now, go to sleep early.”
Lu Changsheng wrapped his arms around his beloved wives and returned to their room to rest.
He did not overexert himself.
After such a busy day, although he was not tired,
Miaoyun clearly seemed exhausted.
…
The next day.
Lu Changsheng woke up and, after showing affection to his wives, proceeded to the study.
He took out the storage bag that Meng Xiaochan had given him the day before.
He checked to see what was inside.
In an instant, a pile of spirit stones appeared in the room.
Lu Changsheng counted them, and there were a total of two thousand.
He then turned his attention to the white jade porcelain vase and the white jade brocade box in the storage bag.
It was clear that these jade porcelain vases and brocade boxes were used to hold more valuable elixir medicines and treasures.
Out of caution, Lu Changsheng took out his Second Rank puppet.
Then he stood aside, letting the puppet open the porcelain vase and the jade box.
Seeing the vase and the box open safely without incident, Lu Changsheng knew he had been overthinking.
“Is this… Blood Spirit Ganoderma?”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He immediately saw in the jade box a ganoderma the size of a baby’s arm, enveloped in a mist of red, a blood-colored ganoderma.
He recognized the ganoderma immediately.
Having read widely, he knew that this ganoderma, like the ‘Blood Sun Fruit’ he had acquired from Xia Long, was a Foundation Establishment Spirit Object.
It was helpful for challenging the blood and energy barrier among the three barriers of Foundation Establishment.
“Is this because I had previously obtained from her Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects for the mana barrier and the divine sense barrier, but lacked one for the blood and energy barrier, so she specifically brought this to me?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Blood Spirit Ganoderma in front of him, somewhat surprised.
He hadn’t expected the other party to actually bring him a Foundation Establishment Spirit Object.
Although he already had a Spirit Object for breaking through the ‘blood and energy barrier,’
and during Foundation Establishment, one could only use one of each type of Foundation Establishment Spirit Object at most,
nobody would complain about having too many such objects.
Not to mention keeping it for his children’s use,
selling it could at least fetch three thousand Spirit Stones.
Seeing the Blood Spirit Ganoderma, Lu Changsheng was more anticipative of the contents within the two porcelain vases.
He closed the jade box and looked inside the porcelain vases.
“What’s this?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the elixir medicines in the porcelain vase, his pupils contracting sharply, hardly able to believe it.
He then poured the crystal-clear elixir medicines from the vase into his hand to examine them carefully.
A moment later.
“It really is a Foundation Establishment Elixir, and there are… two of them!”
Lu Changsheng, looking at the two elixir medicines in his hand, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
For a time, he didn’t know what to say.
He had been wondering where he would find a Foundation Establishment Elixir for his own breakthrough.
But unexpectedly, Meng Xiaochan had directly delivered them to him now.
And she had given him not one, but two.
“This Foundation Establishment Elixir has a dark color; it looks to be a substandard product that would result in some elixir toxicity and have a somewhat lower efficacy.”
“But this one is a genuine, high-quality Foundation Establishment Elixir.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the two Foundation Establishment Elixirs in his hand and again did not know what to say.
Initially, he had held some grudges against Meng Xiaochan in his heart.
Thinking that he would seek revenge when they met in the future.
But now, seeing these two Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
Lu Changsheng felt that the animosity between them could be considered settled.
“With these two Foundation Establishment Elixirs, I don’t have to worry about finding one anymore. There is no need to devise a way to acquire them.”
“Next, I just need to stay safe and cultivate until I reach the Perfection of Qi Refinement, then I can directly attack Foundation Establishment!”
Lu Changsheng felt excited in his heart.
He had originally felt that he had a fifty to sixty percent chance of successfully reaching Foundation Establishment.
Now that his Spiritual Root had improved to Middle Grade, and he had Foundation Establishment Elixirs to assist him, Lu Changsheng felt confident his Foundation Establishment was in the bag!
“However, where did she get these Foundation Establishment Elixirs from? To be able to give away two at once?”
“No, she has also achieved Foundation Establishment, which means she had at least three Foundation Establishment Elixirs!”
At that moment, Lu Changsheng was somewhat astonished by Meng Xiaochan’s wealth.
She seemed like a truly rich woman.
The first time they met, he had obtained two Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects from her.
The second time they met, he received a Gu insect, and Meng Xiaochan fell in love with him.
Now on their third encounter, she had brought him gifts.
Not just two thousand Spirit Stones, one Foundation Establishment Spirit Object, but also two Foundation Establishment Elixirs!
If Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects can be considered rare treasures.
Then Foundation Establishment Elixirs are priceless commodities.
Even the inferior Foundation Establishment Elixir among the two could fetch tens of thousands of Spirit Stones if sold, desired by countless people.
“Three Foundation Establishment Elixirs just like that, could it be that she acquired the materials to refine them in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm?”
Lu Changsheng speculated in his heart.
After all, besides the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, a Loose Cultivator hardly has any means to obtain Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
Considering Meng Xiaochan’s capabilities, it would be normal for her to make some gains in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.
“Still, before Foundation Establishment, I must not reveal this substandard Foundation Establishment Elixir, or I’ll surely attract unwanted attention.”
Lu Changsheng placed the two Foundation Establishment Elixirs back in the porcelain vase and stored them in his Storage Bag.
He resolved not to expose the Foundation Establishment Elixirs until he made his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
It’s difficult for a Loose Cultivator to obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir, one reason being they’re rarely seen.
Moreover, even if a Foundation Establishment Elixir appeared at a large auction, you would need the strength to keep it.
After all, such elixirs aren’t just needed by Qi Refinement Cultivators.
Many factions and Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators also require Foundation Establishment Elixirs to nurture their juniors.
Hence the pricelessness of Foundation Establishment Elixirs, each appearance sparking a violent and bloody frenzy.
“Receiving a Foundation Establishment Elixir so effortlessly, and from a girl at that, does this count as being kept by a rich lady?”
Lu Changsheng thought about the Foundation Establishment Elixir he’d been obsessing over, which had come into his hands so easily, and he felt like it was a dream.
He remembered the Jade Pendant given to him by a Nascent Soul Immortal.
As long as he achieved Foundation Establishment, she would offer him an opportunity.
“Sigh, I really didn’t intend to live off a woman.”
Lu Changsheng sighed softly, feeling that if things continued this way, he really would end up being supported by a woman.
