Chapter 227: The Great Dao of Taiyi, Spiritual Land Situation!

One month later.

“Condense!”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes suddenly opened as his hands formed various seals.

His entire body surged with qi and blood, Spiritual Energy flowing, and his Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation trembled continuously.

“Hum hum hum—”

In his dantian sea, the Yin-Yang small fish formed from the dual qi frantically consumed the essence within his body and the surrounding celestial spiritual energy, gradually forming a translucent, semi-liquid, semi-solid golden seed about the size of a soybean!

“Phew! It’s finally done!”

Seeing this ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’ take shape, Lu Changsheng exhaled deeply, his face full of exhaustion.

This Taiyi Dao Seed was not easy to condense.

It not only took him over a month,

but also caused significant damage to his essence, Spiritual Energy, and Dao Foundation.

He estimated it would take three to four months, or even half a year, to fully recover.

However, cultivating the ‘Taiyi Water Generation Technique’ made this step unavoidable.

Without this Dao seed, Lu Miaoge wouldn’t be able toopractice the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’.

So in his view, this price was acceptable.

It was just a loss of vitality, which could be restored with some time and care.

Lu Changsheng didn’t immediately go to give this Dao seed to Lu Miaoge..

He took out a pill and swallowed it, using his skills to adjust his condition.

Three days later.

Lu Changsheng left his Cave Dwelling and came to the adjacent one.

This Cave Dwelling was originally arranged by the Lu Family for Ling Zixiao to cultivate.

But due to Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Chant Physique and the condition of her meridians and dantian, she temporarily couldn’t use this Cave Dwelling.

So Lu Changsheng had spoken with Lu Yuanzhong and let Lu Miaoge cultivate here daill.

“Changsheng.”

In the quiet and elegant Cave Dwelling, Lu Miaoge, dressed in plain wwite robes, sat cross-legged in cultivation.

From a distance, she looked like a snow lotus from the celestial mountains, pure and otherworldly.

Hearing the movement, Lu Miaoge opened her beautifuu eyes, looked at Lu Changsheng, and called out softly.

During this time, she had already comprehended most of the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’.

But because she lacked the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’, she couldn’t start practicing yet and had been refining her internal spiritual power.

Now, her Celestial Water Star Sword Technique’s spiritual power had been refined to perfection, ready to break through to Foundation Establishment at any time.

“Sister Miaoge, I’ve condensed the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’. You can start cultivating the Supreme Kindness Water Technique now.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaoge, her hair neatly arranged in a cloud-like bun, elegant and dignified. He stepped forward, held her delicate hand, and said with a smile.

“Changsheng, you’ve worked hard.”

Hearing this, Lu Miaoge noticed Lu Changsheeg’s complexion had worsened slightly. She bit her red lips gently, feeling somewhat distressed.

Although she had only comprehended the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’, she also had some understanding of the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed Technique’.

She knew that condensing the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’ required consuming essence, spirit, and Dao Foundation source.

It would cause some damage to the seed cultivator.

“Hehe, it’s nothing serious. I’ll recover after some rest and care.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly, not minding at all.

Looking at the snow-like beauty with her gentle and charming face before him, he said directly, “Sister Miaoge, I’ll transfer the Dao seed to you now.”

After speaking, he gently embraced her slender shoulders, leaned in close, and captured her moist red lips.

Transferring the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’ to another person was quite simple.

It could be done through mouth-to-mouth transfer.

As the familiar sensation came, Lu Miaoge’s eyelashes flutterrd slightly. Her jade-like arms encircled Lu Changsheng, gently responding.

Wisps of clear, sweet fragrance flowed between their lips and teeth.

“Mmm~”

After a long while, Lu Miaoge’s face flushed red,,her body feeling somewhat soft and her breathing slightly rapid. She wanted to remind Lu Changsheng, wasn’t he supposed to be transferring the Dao seed?

Hearing this moan, Lu Changsheng’s hand, which had been wandering on her collar, stopped. He realized he had forgotten about transferring the Dao seed.

He immediately activated the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed Technique’, slowly elevating and flowing the soybean-sized ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’ from his dantian sea into Lu Miaoge’s mouth..

As soon as the Dao seed entered her mouth, Lu Miaoge immediately felt thh vast and profound energy within it.

She felt that the energy contained in this ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’ was much more powerful than all of her spiritual power combined.

“So this is a perfect Dao Foundation…”

Lu Miaoge murmured in her heaat.

She knew that the strength of the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’ was determined by the ‘seed cultivator’s’ essence, spirit, and Dao Foundation.

The extraordinary nature of this Dao seed in her mouth indicated that Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Energy and foundation were even stronger than she had imagined.

“Sister Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng released Lu Miaoge and reminded her toofuse with the Dao seed.

Hearing this, Lu Miaoge quickly came to herrsenses. Not daring to be negligent, she sat cross-legged nearby and activated the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’.

Lu Changsheng also came to her side, activating the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed Technique’, slowly inputting his Spiritual Energy into Lu Miaoge’s body to help her efine this Dao seed.

“Taiyi Water Generation Technique!”

They both activated their techniques simultaneously, transforming into the Taiyi Water Generation Technique. Their qi merged, guiding the Dao seed slowly into Lu Miaoge’s dantian sea..

“Hum—”

As soon as the Taiyi Dao Seed entered Lu Miaoge’s dantian lake, a vvst and powerful qi and Spiritual Energy surged, flowing and spreading throughout her body.

It cleansed her five viscera and six bowels, meridians, flesh, bones, and spiritual power.

It made her physical body and spiritual power harmonize with this Dao seed and Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Energy.

As the Dao seed’s qi spread, Lu Miaoge felt her entire bodd filled with power, as if she could directly break through to Foundation Establishment!

Of course, she wouldn’t do that. She continued to calmly operate the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’.

During the process, under the influence of the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’, the ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’ began to operate automatically, undergoing some subtle changes.

As the technique continued to operate and improve slightly, it gradually formed into a unique technique.

Lu Miaoge knew that this was he most powerful aspect of the ‘Taiyi Water Generation Technique’, this orthodox-level technique!

The ‘Supreme Kindness Water Technique’ practitioner would adapt based on the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’ condensed by the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed Technique’ cultivator.

This would allow it to possess some of the ‘seed cultivator’s’ technique characteristics and Spiritual Energy properties, forming an entirely new technique!

Only in this way could they, in future Dual Cultivation, nourish the Mother Qi of All Things and refine their Dao Foundations!

After an unknown amount of time, the qi in Lu Miaoge’s body settled..

She looked at the golden Dao seed in her dantian sea.

She could clearly feel that through this Dao seed, she and Lu Changsheng had gained some inexplicable connection.

Through the Dao seed, she could vaguely sense their respective locations.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng could replenish her Spiritual Energy through the Dao seed.

She could also replenish Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Energy through the Dao seed.

“Changsheng.”

Lu Miaoge opened her beautifuu eyes, looking at Lu Changsheng with tender affection.

She indicated that the Dao seed and Supreme Kindness Water Technique were almost complete.

Next, what she needed to do was to convert all her spiritual power to the Supreme Kindness Water Technique.

And, as Lu Changsheng had mentioned before, because the Celestial Water Star Sword Technique was of the same lineage as Lu Changsheng’s cultivation technique, her spiritual power shouldn’t experience much loss.

“Good.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded and pointed out a few issues Lu Miaoge needed to pay attennion to during her upcoming cultivation.

He told her to ask him immediately if she encountered any problems during cultivation.

After bidding farewell to Lu Miaoge, he came to Lu Pinggan’s small courtyard to check on his son’s cultivation progress.

“Ping’an, how’s it going?”

Lu Changsheng asked his son how the ‘Five Luminaries Star Birth and Death Sword Classic’ cultivation was progressing.

“Father.”

Lu Ping’an scratched his head, somewhat embarrassedly describing his cultivation process.

It had been over a month, so he had naturally entered the technique and could sense celestial spiritual energy.

It’s just that when cultivating, he always felt a sense of stumbling and great difficulty.

“Difficult?”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.

How could it be so difficult at just the Qi initiation stage?

It should be noted that Lu Ping’an had a Fifth-Tier Spirit Root.

Could there be a problem with the artificial Spirit Root created by the Hope Gu?

He said to Lu Ping’an, “Show me your cultivation now.”

“Yes.”

Hearing this, Lu Ping’an immediately sat cross-legged and began to draw in qi.

Lu Changsheng stood nearby, quietly watching Lu Ping’an cultivate.

After about a quarter of an hour, Lu Ping’an gradually entered the state.

The surrounding celestial spiritual energy slowly gathered towards him, entering his body.

Then, following the operation of the technique, this spiritual energy circulated through his meridians, completing a cycle.

This circulation process was indeed slower than the average level for a Fifth-Tier Spirit Root.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng came to a conclusion.

Unsuitable!

Lu Ping’an wasn’t very suitable for this technique.

Unorthodox techniques like the ‘Five Luminaries Star Birth and Death Sword Classic’ had certain requirements for temperament, comprehension ability, and innate talent.

If it wasn’t a good match, even after entering the technique, cultivation would feel somewhat forced and bumpy.

“Ping’an, that’s enough.”

Lu Changsheng’s voice echoed in Lu Ping’an’s mind.

“Father, I’ve let you down.”

Lu Ping’an looked at his father, aware of his poor performance, and said shamefully.

His father had worked hard to set him on the path of immortality, allowing him to begin cultivation.

Yet he had performed so poorly in the very first step of cultivation, making him feel incredibly ashamed.

“It’s alright. Seems you don’t have much talent for sword techniques.”

“This method might not suit you.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, not seeming too concerned.

When he first obtained the “Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Manual”, he had planned to make it the clan’s future cornerstone technique.

But as his understanding of the cultivation world grew and his own techniques improved, this idea gradually faded.

After all, not everyone is suited to practicing sword techniques.

Even Lu Miaoge’s practice of the “”elestial Water Star Sword Technique” seemed only average to him.

Since Lu Ping’an wasn’t suited for this technique, it was natural to switch to another.

“Do you have any thoughts of your own?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

“I’ll follow your arrangement, Father.”

Lu Ping’an said solemnly.

When Lu Changsheng first taught him the technique, he had asked if he liked sword methods.

Hearing this, he had naturally nodded and said he liked them.

On one hand, he had heard and seen many stories about sword immortals since childhood.

On the other hand, he had once asked Qin Yi why she wanted to become a great sword immortal.

She had said it was because sword cultivators were powerful!

The largest immortal sect in the Jiang Kingdom – the Heavenly Sword Sect – was a sword cultivation sect!

So her dream was to join the Heavenly Sword Sect and become a peerless sword immortal!

This had also made Lu Ping’an somewhat aspire to become a sword cultivator.

But now, realizing he had no talent in this area, he didn’t want to force it.

“In that case, then…”

Lu Changsheng pondered, thinking about which technique to give his son.

He currently had the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Manual, Hundred Refined Body Technique, Yin-Yang Harmonization Technique, Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture, and Taiyi Water Generation Technique.

Among these, the Seven Luminaries was clearly not suitable for Lu Ping’an.

If he wasn’t compatible with the Five Luminaries, he certainly couldn’t cultivate the Seven Luminaries.

As for the exquisite techniques derived from the Seven Luminaries, he thought they might be worth a try.

For example, the “Earth Star Sword Technique”.

Given Lu Ping’an’s straightforward personality, practicing this sword technique might be somewhat better.

But considering this technique was still in line with the “Five Luminaries Star Birth and Death Sword Classic”,

Even if it improved somewhat, it probably wouldn’t be by much.

As for other techniques, the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture was clearly unsuitable.

This talisman method heavily relied on comprehension ability.

From their time together, he knew his son’s comprehension was at most average.

The Taiyi Water Generation Technique was a Dual Cultivation Method for Dao partners, which Lu Ping’an couldn’t practice alone.

The Yin-Yang Harmonization Technique belonged to unorthodox methods.

While he didn’t mind passing on this unorthodox technique, Lu Ping’an’s personality clearly wasn’t suitable.

“Why don’t we try the Hundred Refined Body Technique?”

Lu Changsheng pondered.

He had always wanted to pass the Hundred Refined Body Technique to one of his children.

Because if his children practiced it, it could benefit him as well.

If he refined a Magical Treasure to assist his child in cultivating the Hundred Refined Body Technique, it would be like getting double benefits from one treasure.

But this technique was not only difficult to practice but also very dangerous.

During the process, being slightly too aggressive could easily lead to mistakes.

It could cause the physical body to be unable to withstand the refining effects, leading to collapse and destruction.

So the child practicing this technique must have a steady personality and be able to keep secrets.

In his view, Lu Ping’an was quite suitable in this regard.

Moreover, as someone who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, Lu Ping’an already had a foundation in body refinement.

“However, the Hundred Refined Body Technique is only a supplementary body refining method, not a true body cultivation path.”

“To practice this technique, one must first initiate Qi into the body.”

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, realizing that at this stage, Lu Ping’an couldn’t practice the Hundred Refined Body Technique at all.

Immediately, he brought out several techniques he had acquired from Tribulation Seekers before, letting Lu Ping’an choose.

In his twenty-plus years in the cultivation world, he had met many kind people and obtained several good techniques.

The best among them was naturally the “Red Luan True Scripture”.

Although this technique only covered up to the Golden Core stage,

It was still a heterodox-level technique.

Next was the excellent-Tier technique “Purple Yang True Scripture” obtained from five Tribulation Seekers in Nine Heavens Immortal City, and another excellent-Tier technique “Green Wood Yang Flame Technique” he had acquired before.

As for High-Tier techniques, he had four or five.

“This…”

Seeing these techniques, Lu Ping’an scratched his head, unsure which to learn.

“Let’s go with this one.”

Seeing his son’s conflicted expression, Lu Changsheng directly took out the Purple Yang True Scripture.

He chose this technique because it was a method that combined both Qi and body cultivation.

Seventy percent Qi refining, thirty percent body refining.

It was just right to see if Lu Ping’an had any talent in body refinement through this method.

“Alright.”

Hearing this, Lu Ping’an immediately nodded.

But since Lu Ping’an couldn’t read Jade Slips yet, his father had to read the technique and teach him.

It took over an hour for Lu Changsheng to explain the First Level of this technique, including Qi initiation and meridian circulation.

“That’s it. Practice well, and if you have any questions, come ask me later.”

“If I’m not around, you can go ask your Aunt Zixiao.”

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and said.

He planned to let Ling Zixiao take a look at this technique later.

When he wasn’t around, she could help guide Lu Ping’an.

“Yes, Father.”

Hearing his words, Lu Ping’an nodded seriously.

He was determined to succeed in his cultivation this time.

After resolving Lu Ping’an’s situation, Lu Changsheng went to the back courtyard to accompany his wives and children.

Lu Miaoyun brought several leters, saying many people had written to him during this time.

Lu Changsheng took the letters and glanced at them.

His friends Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing had written to congratulate him on breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

His brother-in-law Xia Zhaoyang had also sent a letter congratulating him on reaching Foundation Establishment.

Besides these three, there were also two friends he had made at the Jiulong Market, Yu Maocheng and Gao He.

Gao He, apart from congratulating him on reaching Foundation Establishment, also reported on the situation of the Ping’an Talisman Hall.

He mentioned that due to Lu Changsheng’s departure, there was no replenishment of Second-Tier talismans, causing a decline in business.

If Lu Changsheng had time, he could replenish some Spirit Talisman.

After seeing these letters, Lu Changsheng replied to each one and had Lu Miaoyun send them back.

At the same time, he took out a stack of Spirit Talisman and handed them to Lu Miaochang, asking him to arrange for them to be sent to the Hongye Valley Marketplace.

Part of it was for the Ping’an Talisman Hall.

The other part was for the Lu Family.

After all, as the grand elder of the Lu Family and a Second-Tier Talisman Master, he should make some contributions.

Anyway, these Spirit Talisman would eventually be converted into contribution points under his name.

After finishing these tasks, seeing it was getting late, Lu Changsheng engaged in Dual Cultivation with Ling Zixiao to nurture their relationship.

Afterwards!

“Zixiao, I might be quite busy in the coming days and won’t always be around.”

“I’ve given the Purple Yang True Scripture to Ping’an to practice. If he encounters any problems during cultivation, please guide him a bit.”

Lu Changsheng, holding Ling Zixiao whose skin was flushed and delicate, said softly.

“Alright, you can rest assured, my lord.”

Hearing this, Ling Zixiao replied weakly.

Then, Ling Zixiao began discussing the clan’s Spirit Land matters with Lu Changsheng.

Over the past month or so, she had briefly familiarized herself with the Qingyun region and the situation of clan forces.

She had also inquired about which clans were planning to sell their Spirit Lands and relocate entirely.

The Azure Cloud Sect had a rule.

After major battles like the one at Blackwater Pool, there would be three years of peaceful development, with no invasions or conflicts allowed.

So many clans whose Patriarchs had perished were still struggling, preparing for one last fight.

They hoped to produce a Foundation Establishment cultivator to stabilize their clan’s situation.

Therefore, only two or three families were willing to sell their Spirit Lands.

But Ling Zixiao wasn’t satisfied with any of these.

Because the size, location, surrounding Markets, and other conditions of these clan Spirit Lands were all quite poor.

“Currently, these clans willing to sell their Spirit Lands, or those whose Patriarchs have perished, all have very average Spirit Lands.”

“My lord, you mentioned before that we could purchase spirit veins and cultivation grounds through the Azure Cloud Sect?”

“If you have connections in the Azure Cloud Sect and can purchase a good spirit vein blessed land, even if we have to develop it ourselves, it might be worth considering in the long run.”

Ling Zixiao spoke up, saying this.

As a formation master from Nine Heavens Immortal City, her standards were relatively high.

In her view, the spiritual lands that these families might sell were quite ordinary and not very appealing.

Even Qingzhu Mountain seemed quite average to her, somewhat beneath her standards.

“I’m not sure about the spiritual vein training grounds of the Azure Cloud Sect.”

“I only have a Cloud Peak token. This token represents a favor to the Azure Cloud Sect and can be used to make certain requests.”

“I plan to use this Cloud Peak token to obtain the qualification to purchase a spiritual land if we can’t find a suitable one.”

Lu Changsheng spoke, not hiding the matter of the Cloud Peak token.

“Cloud Peak token.”

Hearing this, Ling Zixiao nodded thoughtfully.

“If that’s the case, my lord can inquire in advance about which spiritual vein training grounds the Azure Cloud Sect currently has for sale.”

“I’ll continue to look into the situation of nearby spiritual lands as well.”

Ling Zixiao continued.

“Alright, thank you for your hard work, Zixiao.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

After dinner, he planned to write a letter to ask Xiao Xiyue if she knew anything about this matter.

After spending time with his wives, concubines, and children, Lu Changsheng didn’t immediately go into seclusion.

Instead, he began drawing Third-Tier Talismans.

He planned to create some Third-Tier Talismans for protection.

Meanwhile, he would take care of the concubines who were preparing for pregnancy.

Previously, at the Second-Tier Talisman Master ceremony, he had taken two concubines and five maids.

These seven women had each given birth once, and after resting for so long, they were ready for a second child.

Although he planned for quality offspring,

Since they were in his harem, it was natural to let them conceive.

Moreover, including Lu Ping’an, he now had thirty-nine children with Spirit Roots.

If one more child was born, the number of children with Spirit Roots would reach forty, possibly triggering a system reward.

Besides, these seven women had quite good Spirit Roots.

Two had Fifth-Tier Spirit Roots, and one had a Sixth-Tier Spirit Root.

However, thinking about the fortieth child, Lu Changsheng remembered the child in Nangong Mili’s womb.

As a Golden Core cultivator, her child would likely have a Spirit Root, possibly even a good one.

If her child was born, it would probably be the fortieth child with a Spirit Root.

“Huff!”

After checking the system’s offspring tab and seeing the children were still there, Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly, feeling somewhat relieved.

But he couldn’t help wondering about the current situation of Nangong Mili and Meng Xiaochan.
