Chapter 142: Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique, Birth of Divine Sense!

Xiyue, my cultivation method is called the Seven Luminaries Sword Scripture. According to its description, the Dao Foundation is named the Seven Luminaries Dao Foundation.

Is my Dao Foundation a perfect one?

Lu Changsheng asked.

He felt that his Seven Luminaries Dao Foundation was likely a perfect foundation.

But he still wanted to confirm.

After all, concerning Foundation Establishment, one cannot be careless.

Moreover, Xiao Xiyue had already shared private matters like the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique and Moonlight Spirit Body with him.

Sharing some information about his cultivation method didn’t seem like a big deal.

The Seven Luminaries Sword Scripture and Seven Luminaries Dao Foundation?

Xiao Xiyue had never heard of such a cultivation method.

But from the four words ‘Seven Luminaries Dao Foundation,’ she knew it was at least a top-level side branch method.

Only this level of method can condense a Dao Foundation that matches its cultivation technique.

She thought for a moment and said, ‘I’m not sure about this either.’

‘But previously, when I observed you, Changsheng, your foundation seemed robust. If you succeed in Foundation Establishment, your Dao Platform will certainly be flawless.’

‘If this cultivation method matches you well and there are no issues with your training, then it’s very likely a perfect Dao Foundation.’

Xiao Xiyue said uncertainly.

After all, she was just a Qi Refining cultivator.

It was only because she was about to establish a foundation that Yun Wanshang shared much information and insights about Foundation Establishment.

She also read extensively about Foundation Establishment, so she knew more.

But she couldn’t judge much from Lu Changsheng’s brief description.

‘If I could originally form a perfect Foundation Establishment, would this extra great sun essence have any impact?’

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

He didn’t currently feel any downside from this great sun essence.

But he didn’t know if there would be any effect.

‘Changsheng, you can rest assured about this.’

‘The great sun essence is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, which will only make your foundation more robust, benefiting your Foundation Establishment.’

‘It might even elevate your Seven Luminaries Dao Foundation to a higher level.’

Xiao Xiyue immediately said.

She then explained to Lu Changsheng the knowledge and insights about Foundation Establishment.

For example, what to pay attention to during Foundation Establishment and its three phases.

How to maximize the success rate of Foundation Establishment.

The choice of Foundation Establishment spirit materials.

How to choose the spirit material that best matches oneself.

Apart from the perfect Foundation Establishment aligned with one’s method, there’s also the Great Sun Dao Foundation, Taiyin Dao Foundation, Metal Dao Foundation, Five Elements Dao Foundation, Triple Flower Dao Foundation, and Five Qi Dao Foundation.

This knowledge about Foundation Establishment opened Lu Changsheng’s eyes.

He couldn’t help but marvel at how many nuances there are in such a small task of establishing a foundation.

No wonder countless lone cultivators would join a power just for some insights about Foundation Establishment.

Because this knowledge is crucial.

It greatly aids an ordinary cultivator’s Foundation Establishment.

And lone cultivators generally cannot access this kind of knowledge and have to rely on joining forces and working for them.

‘If I showed that I’ve perfected Qi Refining, the Lu Family would also give me such insights on Foundation Establishment.’

‘But the Lu Family’s insights into Foundation Establishment will never equate to Xiao Xiyue’s.’

Lu Changsheng thought.

He realized again the benefits of joining a significant power at that moment.

Moreover, Xiao Xiyue could gain such knowledge because she was part of the Azure Cloud Sect, one of the Four Great Immortal Sects of the Jiang Kingdom.

And she had a Golden Core Formation Master.

Otherwise, ordinary Spirit Sect disciples wouldn’t certainly know as much.

‘Xiyue, these are the Foundation Establishment spirit materials I prepared for myself. Can you see which ones are suitable for me?’

At this moment, Lu Changsheng took out five sets of Foundation Establishment spirit materials from his Storage Bag.

Since he’s aiming for a perfect Foundation Establishment, he naturally wants to lay the most solid foundation.

Although he just listened to a lot from Xiao Xiyue, he still wasn’t clear about the choice of Foundation Establishment spirit materials.

‘This is the Blood Sun Fruit, Blood Lingzhi, Profound Yin True Water, Heart Lotus, and Jade Soul Flower.’

Xiao Xiyue saw Lu Changsheng take out five Foundation Establishment materials at once and was a little stunned.

Although she was the disciple of a Golden Core True Person.

She’s not ignorant of the hardships of cultivating immortality.

She also knows that cultivating immortality is difficult, and Foundation Establishment spirit materials are precious.

Ordinarily, a cultivator would be lucky to find one when establishing a foundation.

But now, Lu Changsheng actually took out five at once.

Moreover, she could see that Lu Changsheng’s physical vitality and spiritual power were very robust.

He could completely do without the assistance of Foundation Establishment spirit materials.

At most, he just needs one to assist the divine sense hurdle.

‘Changsheng, with your current strong body, abundant vitality, and powerful spiritual energy, you don’t need to supplement with Foundation Establishment materials.’

‘Using them instead might affect your vitality and spiritual energy, making them less pure.’

‘For the divine sense hurdle, you can use the Heart Lotus as an aid.’

‘Additionally, I have a secret technique that can assist your Foundation Establishment, so there’s no need to rely on these materials.’

‘However, this Jade Soul Flower has a nurturing effect on the mind. You can use it now to nurture your mind, and perhaps it will directly give birth to divine sense.’

Xiao Xiyue said.

Despite the fact that divine sense usually emerges with Foundation Establishment.

It doesn’t mean one cannot birth divine sense during Qi Refining.

‘Hmm? Secret technique? What secret technique?’

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

Surprised that in addition to the Golden Crow Pill, Xiao Xiyue also had a secret technique to assist with his Foundation Establishment.

This was practically feeding him with a silver spoon.

Worried he might fail in Foundation Establishment or have a flawed one.

But Xiao Xiyue’s care made Lu Changsheng feel she didn’t want to owe him.

Through compensating in these areas, she was repaying his kindness for teaching and saving her.

‘You’ll find out then.’

Xiao Xiyue pursed her lips and didn’t explain the secret technique.

After all, she understood it wasn’t a real secret technique.

Lu Changsheng hearing this, didn’t dwell on what the secret technique was.

He inquired on how to use the Jade Soul Flower.

‘If you refine the Jade Soul Flower into a Nourishing Soul Pill, the effect would naturally be the best.’

‘However, refining the Nourishing Soul Pill requires various supplements and a pill refiner. You can just ingest it directly.’

Xiao Xiyue said.

After speaking, she seemed to remember something and asked, ‘Changsheng, have you cultivated any spirit-strengthening methods?’

‘No.’

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

His cultivation method relied on a lottery.

But so far, he hadn’t drawn any to cultivate the spirit.

However, the Red Luan True Scripture contained a secret technique for a divine sense attack.

Yet he couldn’t cultivate it.

‘I have a Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique that can train the spirit and nourish the divine sense, helping you refine the Jade Soul Flower.’

Xiao Xiyue said.

‘Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique?’

Lu Changsheng inquired, ‘Can this technique be passed on?’

It’s said that methods aren’t easily taught.

When Lu Yuanzhong gave him the Green Wood Technique, he was instructed not to pass it on.

Xiao Xiyue’s Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique was likely learned from within the Azure Cloud Sect.

Azure Cloud Sect surely had rules about disciples not passing on their methods.

‘This method was taught to me by my Master, so passing it on doesn’t constitute breaking the rules.’

Xiao Xiyue said.

‘Transmitting it to me, will your Master blame you?’

Lu Changsheng continued.

Though he wanted a spirit cultivation method, he didn’t want a method to affect Xiao Xiyue.

The Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Manual, upon the second layer, condensing Seven Luminaries Star Lantern, aids in mind clarity and insight gain.

It’s half a divine sense cultivation method.

‘My Master never said it couldn’t be passed on, and he won’t scold me.’

Xiao Xiyue whispered.

One should report to a Master when passing on a method.

But now it seemed she couldn’t go back just for that.

She believed her Master wouldn’t blame her.

‘Thank you, Xiyue.’

Lu Changsheng no longer refused.

Xiao Xiyue then taught Lu Changsheng the ‘Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique’ incantations and practice.

Under Xiao Xiyue’s guidance, it took Lu Changsheng three days to internalize this Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique.

He sat cross-legged in meditation, his mind a quiet darkness.

He maneuvered his blood and spiritual energy, transforming into purple light, permeating his body and illuminating the dark world.

In the darkness, a sublime and heavy purple palace appeared.

‘Phew!’

Xiao Xiyue observed Lu Changsheng starting the Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique and sighed in relief.

Thinking, Lu Changsheng finally grasped it.

When Yun Wanshang instructed her, she mastered the Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique in one day.

Seeing Lu Changsheng take three days to do it made her doubt herself.

She wondered if there was something wrong with her teaching.

Why did Lu Changsheng take so long to understand and comprehend this method?

She never doubted Lu Changsheng’s perception.

His current cultivation methods were, at least, top-level offshoot methods.

Being able to master these techniques showed perceptive talent.

‘It must be that I didn’t explain the details clearly enough.’

‘Unlike my Master, whose teachings were always precise and straightforward.’

Xiao Xiyue thought.

Unaware of Xiao Xiyue’s thoughts, Lu Changsheng also didn’t know about his perception or talent.

Beyond Return Yuan Technique and some initial techniques, he never spent much time or effort on it.

Techniques like Immortal Grace Technique, Hundred Refined Body Technique, and Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Manual were fed to him by the system.

He didn’t need to use any effort at all.

He had no concept of his perception or talent.

When Lu Changsheng’s cultivation reached a point, Xiao Xiyue softly called him.

Informing him that the Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique is a process of nurturing the spirit with the essence of blood and qi, and practice shouldn’t be excessive.

If indulged, it might cause self-damage.

‘Phew.’

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, feeling mentally refreshed.

But there were slight signs of emptiness in his blood energy.

He understood that training the spirit also exhausted the body.

‘Changsheng, first recover, then ingest the Jade Soul Flower, and refine it with the Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique to see if you can birth divine sense.’

Xiao Xiyue said to Lu Changsheng.

In her view, Lu Changsheng had extraordinary talent and was at the ninth layer of Qi Refining. He had the potential to birth divine sense.

‘Alright.’

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He took a pill from his Storage Bag and began to restore himself and adjust his state.

Once he regained his state, he confirmed with Xiao Xiyue that everything was fine and ingested the Jade Soul Flower, a helpful material for the divine sense hurdle.

A Foundation Establishment material is worth at least two or three thousand Spirit Stones.

But now it was simply consumed by Lu Changsheng.

The Jade Soul Flower was cool and tasted bitter with a slight sweetness, not unpleasant.

Once consumed, Lu Changsheng immediately felt a light aura flow through his body.

It felt like a breeze brushing over his skin.

‘Changsheng, Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique.’

Xiao Xiyue’s voice reminded Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng activated the Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique.

Accompanying the blood essence, he nourished his spirit with the aura from the Jade Soul Flower.

Purple aura surrounded him, and auspicious light steamed.

In his mind, the dark world revealed a sublime and heavy purple palace, dispersing the darkness.

Time passed little by little.

He had no idea how much.

‘Boom!’

Lu Changsheng saw the darkness in his mind almost completely dispelled by the Purple Mansion, causing a booming sensation.

His brow began to swell.

It felt like an eye was slowly opening there.

‘Hmm?’

Lu Changsheng realized that this ‘eye’ on his brow could see the surrounding scenery.

Or rather, this imagery wasn’t seen by the eyes.

It was sensed by the third eye on his brow, transmitting to his mind.

It was clearer and more vivid than what his eyes could see.

He could view in all directions, unobstructed, through 360 degrees.

He then saw a seated figure, eyes gently closed, with jade-like skin and a graceful demeanor, a handsome young man.

‘Ah, such a handsome and otherworldly man!’

Lu Changsheng praised. ‘Oh, it turns out to be me. Then it’s okay.’

Admiring his handsome looks for a moment, Lu Changsheng’s gaze shifted back, slowly opening his eyes.

He recognized this ‘third eye’ as a cultivator’s ‘divine sense’.

He was surprised that a single Jade Soul Flower birthed divine sense.

Was it that simple?

Could it be that having lived two lifetimes, his spirit was naturally different, so a Jade Soul Flower was enough to produce divine sense?

Lu Changsheng speculated.

Without thinking too much, he told Xiao Xiyue about the birth of his divine sense.

Inquiring if it really was divine sense.

‘I knew that Changsheng could birth divine sense.’

Xiao Xiyue wasn’t too surprised upon hearing.

Because in her eyes, Lu Changsheng was already a genius.

Although his spirit root was only ninth grade, he had other opportunities or perhaps possessed a unique spirit body.

In the ninth layer of Qi Refining, consuming the Jade Soul Flower to birth divine sense was quite normal.

‘Changsheng, how far does your divine sense reach?’

Xiao Xiyue asked.

‘Hmm, about one zhang or so.’

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes to feel it again and said.

‘Only one zhang? But it’s enough.’

‘Generally, a cultivator who has just achieved Foundation Establishment has divine sense covering about ten zhang.’

‘Now that you have divine sense, you won’t need the Heart Lotus for Foundation Establishment.’

Xiao Xiyue said softly, showing gentle eyes.

‘Thanks to your guidance, Xiyue.’

Lu Changsheng showed a bit of joy.

He didn’t mind that his divine sense was only one zhang.

After all, he hadn’t truly achieved Foundation Establishment.

To birth divine sense before establishing a foundation was already good.

‘Xiyue, how is your cultivation going?’

At this moment, Lu Changsheng also cared about Xiao Xiyue’s cultivation.

Originally, it was him helping Xiao Xiyue cultivate.

But all this time, it was Xiao Xiyue helping him.

Lu Changsheng felt a bit sorry.

‘I need Lu Lang’s help.’

Xiao Xiyue lightly said, her eyelashes trembling.

When Lu Changsheng heard, he immediately embraced the beauty and pressed his lips to hers.

Soon, entwined like waves crashing continuously.

Knowing just this wouldn’t yield results for Xiao Xiyue’s cultivation.

He dispersed the mist surrounding the snow peaks, revealing the setting sun.

‘Hmm~’

In this cultivation process, Xiao Xiyue’s cheeks involuntarily blushed.

A moment later, the rustling sound signaled the removal of her moon-white dress.

For the courtesies the fairy showed in cultivation, Lu Changsheng bowed willingly as a loyal follower.

Soon, the Guanghan Fairy was full as the moon, flowering of laurels, and the laurel nectar flowed continuously.

Elegant and graceful, waters waved, jade splashed, water flowed endlessly.

Confined was the path of overflowing honey, causing the fairy to blush and her heart to race, almost rendering the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique ineffective.

Her clear, cold eyes trembled occasionally like the bright moon.

After an unknown time, with time passing, Lu Changsheng and the fairy ended their cultivation, embracing Xiao Xiyue’s body tightly.

The fairy’s beautiful hair was a bit messy, strands sticking to her bright face, eyes calm yet enchanting.

‘Xiyue, your cultivation seems to have a long way to go.’

Lu Changsheng, like a celestial dog devouring the moon, lightly teased.

After something savory, naturally, he had something sweet.

Xiao Xiyue, with delicate brows, leaned on Lu Changsheng’s shoulder, not wanting to move a finger.

The Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique quickly calmed the rushing emotions.

Feeling Lu Changsheng’s readiness, she whispered, ‘Now it’s my turn.’

With that, the fairy gently leaned forward.

Lu Changsheng froze slightly.

He intended to say it wasn’t necessary.

But swallowed those words.

Moments later, a charred piece of Thunderstrike Wood stood among the burnt grass.

A dazzling fairy descended.

Pitying its ill fate, she used celestial dew to revive it.

This image was like an ethereal fairy forced into the mundane world.

Reluctantly dining on dew for purity.

Seeing a flower on a blackened branch, full of spring rain nectar, yet not blooming, only using tongue and cheek to reach for it.

Wanting to sip the jade liquid within for sustenance.

Lu Changsheng, witnessing this, couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Remembering when the fairy was celestial, like the bright moon, untouchable, untainted.

Now fallen into the mortal world, dining on dew.

Much later, Xiao Xiyue’s face blushed deeply, her soft hair hiding her face, delicate brows slightly furrowed.

‘Xiyue, I’m sorry, you don’t have to push yourself.’

Lu Changsheng embraced her while speaking.

‘I am merely cultivating. It’s not a burden.’

Xiao Xiyue’s swan-like neck moved slightly, her voice tremulous.

She knew little about men and women.

But she wasn’t entirely naive.

She knew all along Lu Changsheng restrained himself.

So she willingly took this step.

Lu Changsheng sighed internally.

Recalling Lu Miaoge..

Once, after saving Lu Miaoge, their relationshippprogressed.

Lu Miaoge was once obedient..

Yet unwilling to marry him.

Xiao Xiyue evoked similar sentiments.

It seemed she, like Miaoge, intended to sever ties post-cultivation.

Lu Changsheng wasn’t worried.

Knowing such matters couldn’t be rushed.

Eventually, with the bond at this point, she had to be wedded.

Cultivating with Xiao Xiyue for several more days.

He remembered how he stayed in the Cave Dwelling with her, always cultivating.

It had been nearly a month.

Having stayed for so long, he hadn’t informed Lu Miaoge..

Moreover, his daughter, Lu Qingzhu, usually stayed on Qingzhu Mountain.

Only when he came to the Hongye Valley Marketplace did he take her to visit Lu Miaoge..

During these days, Lu Miaoge managed both the shhp and children with no time to cultivate.

So Lu Changsheng told Xiao Xiyue he needed to return first and would accompany her later.

‘Alright.’

Xiao Xiyue, after cultivation, regained calmness and quietly nodded.

Seeing Xiao Xiyue so serene, only at moments like these did Lu Changsheng feel over-sentimental.

‘The hardest to deal with is the beauty’s gratitude.’

Leaving the Cave Dwelling, Lu Changsheng sighed softly.

Then quickly headed back to the Lu Family’s Talisman Shop.

After Lu Changsheng left, Xiao Xiyue’s demeanor returned to pure, transcendent calm.

Her eyes like the bright moon, carrying a faint celestial sense, indifferent and peaceful.

‘Sister Miaoge.’

Lu Changsheng arrived on the third floor of the Talisman Shop, seeing Lu Miaoge, coaxing their dauggter to sleep.

A feeling of guilt rose.

‘Changsheng, you’re back.’

Lu Miaoge greeted with a gentte smile, her character like flowing water.

Becoming a mother transformed her ethereal grace into warmth and dignity.

‘Sister Miaoge, cultivations delayed some matters.’

Lu Changsheng figured Lu Miaoge knew about his renttd cave with Xiao Xiyue.

He didn’t hide it, explaining their time together.

He expected to continue cultivating with Xiao Xiyue for a while.

Besides, Xiao Xiyue was the future mother of his child.

Lu Miaoge knew his secrets..

No need for complete concealment.
