Chapter Index

    More than a month later.

    A Spirit Boat streaked through the clouds like a beam of light.

    Lu Changsheng stood tall on the boat, his green robe fluttering. He gazed at the mountain ranges below, spread out like a starry chessboard.

    Such long-distance travel was undeniably dull and monotonous.

    If not for Azure Cloud Sect’s spirit ship making only one trip a year, he wouldn’t have chosen to pilot a Spirit Boat. He’d have preferred to ride the spirit ship instead.

    “My lord, let me take over. You should rest a while.”

    Ling Zixiao, who had been resting with her eyes closed, now opened her clear, beautiful eyes and spoke to Lu Changsheng in a gentle voice.

    While steering the Spirit Boat didn’t drain much spiritual energy or mental focus,

    traveling day and night still led to some fatigue and boredom.

    So, the two had been chatting to pass the time and taking turns piloting the boat.

    “Alright.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded, handing control of the Spirit Boat to Ling Zixiao.

    He decided to use this break to draw some talismans.

    The earlier encounter with five Tribulation Cultivators had depleted his Spirit Talisman, and he needed to replenish his stock.

    Just as he took out his Talisman Pen, paper, and spiritual ink to start drawing,

    a stream of energy suddenly surged into his body, accompanied by a system notification.

    [Congratulations! Fifteen of your offspring have completed Qi initiation and entered the path of immortality. You’ve gained a passive effect: 5% increase in Spirit Root probability for offspring. You’ve also earned one chance to draw a lottery!]

    “Hmm, five chances for one draw, is it?”

    Hearing this system notification, Lu Changsheng’s lips curved into a slight smile.

    Seeing his children start cultivating one by one, with the system sending “gifts,” truly made him happy.

    “Lu, what’s the matter? Did something good happen?”

    Noticing Lu Changsheng’s sudden smile, Ling Zixiao asked with a gentle laugh.

    “Hehe, I’m just happy about returning home soon.”

    “Especially since on this trip, I’ve become dao partners with you, Zixiao. Every time I think about it, I can’t help but feel joyful.”

    Lu Changsheng replied smoothly, maintaining his composure.

    “You silver-tongued charmer!”

    Hearing this, Ling Zixiao broke into a radiant smile.

    After chatting for a while, Lu Changsheng began drawing talismans.

    Five days later, Ling Zixiao guided the Spirit Boat to land near a city.

    She and Lu Changsheng found an inn to rest and regulate their internal yang energy.

    Afterwards!

    Afterwards!

    Afterwards!

    “Zixiao, how’s the recovery of your Dragon Chant body’s essence?”

    Lu Changsheng asked, holding Ling Zixiao, whose skin glowed with an alluring redness and who seemed languid and weak.

    “At this rate, it should take about half a year more for my Dragon Chant essence to fully recover.”

    Ling Zixiao, her cloud-like hair casually spread out, nestled in Lu Changsheng’s arms and spoke, gently biting her lip.

    “Half a year.”

    Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded and said, “Good. Once we’re back at Qingzhu Mountain and your body has recovered sufficiently, we’ll start the second phase of resolving your Dragon Chant body.”

    “If we keep this up, your Dragon Chant body issue will be solved sooner or later.”

    Lu Changsheng said confidently.

    “My love, each time you have to expend your vital essence and lifespan to stabilize the backlash for me. Doesn’t that harm you significantly?”

    Ling Zixiao’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of tender affection as she spoke.

    “It’s nothing. As long as we can resolve your situation, Zixiao, it’s all worth it.”

    “Besides, I’ve said before that I’d do everything in my power to solve your Dragon Chant body issue.”

    Lu Changsheng embraced his beloved, resting his chin on her hair as he spoke softly.

    “My dear~”

    Hearing this, Ling Zixiao’s eyes glistened with moisture.

    Though she didn’t know exactly how much lifespan Lu Changsheng had spent to save her before,

    she knew it must have come at a considerable cost.

    Yet, even in these circumstances, Lu Changsheng’s attitude truly touched her heart.

    After all, aside from her Dragon Chant essence, she hadn’t been able to contribute much to Lu Changsheng lately.

    It had mostly been Lu Changsheng making sacrifices for her.

    “It’s alright, we’re dao partners after all.”

    Lu Changsheng gently stroked her smooth, delicate snow-white back as he spoke softly.

    But in his heart, he was pondering how to completely resolve Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Chant body issue.

    Otherwise, even if the Dragon Guide Technique could absorb the Dragon Chant essence faster than her body could recover,

    his lifespan wouldn’t be able to withstand repeated use like this.

    Watching the contentment spread across the face of the woman in his arms as she gradually fell asleep, Lu Changsheng thought of the lottery chance he had earned earlier and mentally said, “System, draw!”

    Instantly, a light red lottery wheel appeared.

    “I wonder if my luck will be good enough to draw an item that can suppress the backlash of the Dragon Chant body.”

    Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he looked at the lottery wheel before him, his hand gently squeezing the round, full snow-peaks.

    With a slight mental effort, a golden light appeared, spinning rapidly on the wheel.

    [Ding! Congratulations, host, you’ve obtained the cultivation technique ‘Taiyi Water Generation Technique’!]

    [The reward has been deposited in your system space. You can check it at any time.]

    An image of a crystalline Jade Scroll appeared, accompanied by the system’s notification.

    “Taiyi Water Generation Technique?”

    Lu Changsheng frowned slightly upon seeing this technique.

    Judging by the name, it should be a Qi Refining technique.

    But he didn’t need any more Qi Refining techniques at this point.

    He had no need for this type of technique.

    What he wanted was a mental cultivation technique.

    Or a rare hereditary technique for alchemy, formations, talismans, or Artifact crafting, like the ‘Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture’.

    Nevertheless, since he had already drawn it, Lu Changsheng looked into the system space.

    [Technique: Taiyi Water Generation Technique]

    [Grade: Orthodox]

    [Description: Taiyi generates water, water nourishes all things, and in turn supports Taiyi, thus completing the heavens. Heaven and earth, yin and yang complement each other, cycling endlessly, becoming the mother of all things.]

    “Hmm? Is this technique so profound?”

    Lu Changsheng was slightly startled as he read the description of the Taiyi Water Generation Technique.

    He couldn’t quite understand the effects or the power of this Orthodox-Tier technique from the description.

    “System, impart!”

    Without dwelling on it further, he mentally activated the technique, directly absorbing the Taiyi Water Generation Technique.

    Immediately, all the cultivation methods, related content, and key points of the ‘Taiyi Water Generation Technique’ poured into his mind like a flood of enlightenment.

    “Wow, the Taiyi Water Generation Technique, what a remarkable technique!”

    After a while, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, revealing a look of pleasant surprise.

    After fully comprehending the Taiyi Water Generation Technique through the system’s impartation, Lu Changsheng felt a surge of excitement.

    It truly lived up to its status as an Orthodox-Tier technique.

    Moreover, this technique came at just the right time.

    The Taiyi Water Generation Technique consisted of two parts: the main ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’ and the auxiliary ‘Taiyi Dao Seed Technique’.

    To cultivate the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’, one first needed a water-attribute Spirit Root and a water-like temperament.

    Secondly, it required a Foundation Establishment cultivator to practice the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed Technique’.

    This cultivator would condense their essence, energy, and spirit, along with their Dao Foundation essence, into a Taiyi Dao Seed.

    Then, by planting this ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’ in their body, they could use it as a foundation to cultivate the Supreme Kindness Water Technique.

    Supreme kindness is like water; water benefits all things without contention.

    This technique wasn’t offensive in nature, leaning more towards a supportive role.

    It produced peaceful spiritual power with vast and profound qi, enduring and inexhaustible.

    However, this technique would gain different characteristics and effects based on the Taiyi Dao Seed condensed by the ‘seed planter’.

    In simple terms, the more powerful the seed planter, the deeper their foundation, and the more potent the Taiyi Dao Seed, the more powerful the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’ would become.

    The drawback was that if the cultivator of the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed Technique’ died, the Taiyi Dao Seed would shatter.

    From then on, the practitioner of the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’ would find it hard to make progress and would have to disperse their cultivation and start anew.

    If this were all there was to the ‘Taiyi Water Generation Technique’, it wouldn’t have surprised Lu Changsheng so much.

    The Taiyi Dao Seed Technique, which condensed a Taiyi Dao Seed to assist others in cultivating the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’,

    could enhance their spiritual foundation and increase their chances of breaking through bottlenecks.

    At the same time, the Supreme Kindness Water Technique could also benefit the cultivator of the Taiyi Dao Seed Technique.

    For example, when the practitioner of the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’ reached Foundation Establishment, their Dao Foundation would be influenced by the Taiyi Dao Seed, gaining similar characteristics.

    From then on, when both cultivators operated their techniques simultaneously in Dual Cultivation, they could nurture the ‘Mother of All Things’ qi.

    This ‘Mother of All Things’ qi could refine both cultivators’ Dao Foundations, increasing their chances of forming a Golden Core and improving its quality.

    Moreover, when the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed Technique’ cultivator broke through to form a Golden Core, they could reclaim the Taiyi Dao Seed, transforming it into a Top-Tier Core Formation spiritual item, further increasing their chances of forming a Golden Core and improving its quality.

    After successfully forming a Golden Core, the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed Technique’ cultivator could once again plant a dao seed in the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’ cultivator.

    This would further enhance their foundation, improving their future chances of forming a Golden Core and its quality.

    When the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’ cultivator successfully formed a Golden Core, it would continue to be influenced by the Taiyi Dao Seed, maintaining similar characteristics.

    This way, the Golden Core complements itself, refining the Golden Core and increasing the probability of Nascent Soul formation and its quality.

    After the Nascent Soul stage, the same applies to the Divine Transformation stage.

    It can be said that this “Taiyi Water Generation Technique” is meant for two people to cultivate, complementing each other all the way, advancing together on the great path.

    “Sister Miaoge only has a five-Tier Spirit Root. Although she’s cultivated the ‘Celestial Water Star Sword Technique’ with my help, Foundation Establishment isn’t a problem.”

    “But wanting to form a Golden Core is difficult, extremely difficult!”

    “Now with this ‘Taiyi Water Generation Technique’, if I cultivate the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed Technique’ and plant the Taiyi Dao Seed for her, letting her cultivate this ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’, she’ll have hope for Golden Core Formation in the future.”

    Lu Changsheng thought of Lu Miaoge as soon as he saw ttis technique.

    This technique has a main and an auxiliary part, complementing each other. It’s a true Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation technique.

    It can help the less fortunate advance, allowing them to progress together on the great path.

    With the system by his side, he was full of hope for his future.

    He was confident he could form a Golden Core, condense a Nascent Soul, and reach Divine Transformation!

    Currently, his condensed Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation was a Top-Tier perfect Dao Foundation, with an incredibly solid base.

    This Dao Foundation and the refined Taiyi Dao Seed would greatly benefit the practitioner of the “Supreme Kindness Water Technique”.

    In the future, when he breaks through to Golden Core Formation, he was confident he could condense the highest-Tier Immortal Golden Core.

    At that time, replanting the Taiyi Dao Seed for Lu Miaoge would greatly increese her chances of breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core Formation.

    When he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, Lu Miaoge might even have a ccance at condensing a Nascent Soul.

    Moreover.

    This “Supreme Kindness Water Technique”, like the “Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Manual”, has a special effect at each level.

    The first level’s special effect allows the consumption of spiritual power to condense Taiyi True Water.

    This water has the effect of tempering the physical body, nourishing meridians, healing hidden injuries, and refining spiritual power.

    This immediately made Lu Changsheng think of Ling Zixiao.

    If Lu Miaoge successfully cultivvtes the “Supreme Kindness Water Technique”, she could use the Taiyi True Water to heal Ling Zixiao’s injuries and nourish her withered meridians and dantian.

    As long as Ling Zixiao’s meridians and dantian recover, solving her Dragon Roar Body would become much simpler.

    There would be no need to worry about the backlash from the Dragon Roar Body.

    This was one of the reasons for Lu Changsheng’s excitement.

    This technique not only solved Lu Miaoge’s future path..

    It also held hope for solving Ling Zixiao’s physical problems.

    Once Lu Miaoge cultivates the “Suppeme Kindness Water Technique” and breaks through to Foundation Establishment, Ling Zixiao can solve her Dragon Roar Body issue and recover her Foundation Establishment cultivation.

    At that time, the Lu Family would have three Foundation Establishment cultivators as its pillars.

    Moreover, both women would have hope of breaking through to Golden Core Formation in the future!

    At this moment, Lu Changsheng was eager to return home.

    He wanted to hurry back to pass on the “Supreme Kindness Water Technique” to Lu Miaoge and plant the dao ssed for her.

    Lu Miaoge happened to have a ater attribute Spirit Root, and her temperament was also suitable.

    Moreover, she was cultivating the “Celestial Water Star Sword Technique”, which was in line with his “Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Manual”.

    Through the Taiyi Dao Seed, converting her cultivation to the “Supreme Kindness Water Technique” would be perfect.

    At Qingzhu Mountain, in the Lu Family.

    “Miaoge, currently in the family, only you and Miaofeng are at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining and can attempt Foundation Establishment.”

    “So the right to this Foundation Establishment Pill is between you and Miaofeng. What do you think?”

    Lu Yuanzhong looked at Lu Miaoge, who was wearing a lain white dress, with a clear and beautiful face and a water-like temperament, and spoke in a deep voice.

    Lu Yuanshan Ding stood by without speaking, quietly watching his daughter.

    In this generation of the Lu Family, there were originally four Foundation Establishment seeds.

    During the suppression of the Xiahou clan, one died, leaving three.

    But one of them was too young, currently only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

    So they couldn’t compete for the ownership of this Foundation Establishment Pill.

    In the end, it was between Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaofeng..

    Although Lu Miaoge’s Spirit Root talenn was one grade lower than Lu Miaofeng’s.

    She was a Top-Tier First-Tier Talisman Master with the potential to become a Second-Tier Talisman Master.

    Her husband, Lu Changsheng, was also a Second-Tier Talisman Master who had made great contributions to the family.

    So if she wanted to compete for this Foundation Establishment Pill, it would basically belong to her.

    “Ancestor, Miaofeng’s talent is better than mine, and the Foundation Establishment spirit materials prepared by the family this time are more suitable for Miaofeng.”

    “So please give this Foundation Establishment Pill to Miaofeng.”

    Lu Miaoge spoke after a long ilence.

    She knew that if she wanted to compete, this Foundation Establishment Pill would most likely belong to her.

    But when the long-awaited opportunity for Foundation Establishment appeared before her eyes, she hesitated.

    Because this Foundation Establishment Pill was too heavy.

    It carried the future of the Lu Family!

    It could only succeed, not fail!

    Moreover, once Foundation Establishment was successful, she would become the new ancestor of the Lu Family in the future, bearing the responsibility for the rise and fall of the Lu Family on Qingzhu Mountain.

    If she hadn’t married and had children, she would have had the courage to take on this responsibility.

    But now, as a wife and a mother, this responsibility made her hesitate.

    Moreover, she understood in her heart that Ancestor Lu Yuanzhong actually preferred to give this Foundation Establishment Pill to Lu Miaofeng.

    Because Lu Miaofeng had a Fourth-Tier Spirit Root, which was more compatible with the Foundation Establishment spirit materials prepared by the family, and as a male member of the family, it was more in line with the family’s interests.

    It was only considering her contributions to the Lu Family, and considering the contributions of Lu Changsheng and Lu Yuanshan Ding to the Lu Family, that they gave her the choice for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

    “Sigh.”

    Seeing his daughter refuse this Foundation Establishment Pill, Lu Yuanshan Ding sighed in his heart.

    As a father, he naturally hoped his daughter would accept this Foundation Establishment Pill.

    Because he knew that his daughter had always been working hard, wanting to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

    This Foundation Establishment Pill might be Lu Miaoge’s only chance in thhs life, the closest she’d ever been to Foundation Establishment.

    But as a family cultivator and former head of the Lu Family, considering the family’s interests and the big picture, in his view, Lu Miaofeng was indeed more suitable for this Foundation Establishment Pill.

    “Miaoge, have you thought it through?”

    Lu Yuanzhong looked at Lu Miaoge and spoke in a deeppvoice.

    Regarding this niece of his, he had watched her grow up and knew she was very sensible and had great aspirations.

    So, even though he preferred Lu Miaofeng in his heart, he was still willing to give Lu Miaoge a chance..

    “Ancestor, Miaoge has thought it through. Please give this Foundation Establishment Pill to Miaofeng.”

    Lu Miaoge looked at Lu Yuanzhhng, her clear eyes showing determination as she nodded.

    After saying this, although she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, she also felt relieved.

    “Huff!”

    Hearing these words, Lu Yuanzhong let out a long breath.

    He patted Lu Miaoge’s shoulder and saidd “Miaoge, your uncle knows you’ve been sensible since childhood. This matter has wronged you.”

    “After this, the family will try its best to acquire suitable Foundation Establishment spirit materials for you and seek another Meridian Protection Pill.”

    Lu Yuanzhong said.

    “Thank you, Ancestor.”

    Lu Miaoge said, gently pursinn her lips.
