Chapter 334: The Lingming Eye, Testing the Purple Secrets Realm

“The Lingming Eye can see through illusions, illusions techniques, and concealment spells.”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow at Lu Miaoyun’s words.

From what he knew, a shattered or flawed foundation had no special abilities aside from the characteristics of the cultivation method.

Only a perfect foundation and above would have special abilities.

He didn’t expect that the Dao Seed condensed by the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique Lu Miaoyun cultivated had suchan effect, which was surprising.

However, this foundation ability was somewhat similar to a spell ability.

It seemed like an ability obtained from the Lingming Treasure Tree.

After all, the effect of the Lingming Treasure Tree was to condense Lingming Essence Fluid.

This essence fluid could be used to wipe the eyes, making vision clear and enhancing Divine Abilities related to spiritual eyes. So, gaining such an ability seemed reasonable.

“Could it be that long-term use of the Lingming Essence Fluid to wipe the eyes eventually grants this Lingming Eye ability?”

Lu Changsheng paused, forming a hypothesis in his mind.

He had tried using the Lingming Essence Fluid to wipe his eyes back then.

But because the essence fluid was cultivated by Lu Miaoyun and was in such shot supply, he didn’t feel anything. It wasn’t as effective as Dual Cultivation with Lu Miaoyun.

After all these years of Dual Cultivation with Lu Miaoyun, he did feel his viion becoming clearer.

“This is great. In the future, when our children bring home treasures from their adventures, you can appraise them, Yun’r.”

“Or if any spies try to infiltrate our home, you can see through their disguises at a glance.”

Lu Changsheng smiled as he spoke, not taking it too seriously.

Lu Miaoyun’s ability was quitesuitable for exploring ruins and Cave Dwellings.

However, he would never let his wife do such things.

Furthermore, due to the nature of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique, Lu Miaoyun couldn’t be too farfrom spirit plants and couldn’t leave the Bihu Mountain area.

Otherwise, even without exploring ruins or secret realms, she could still become a treasure appraiser or a relic hunter with the Lingming Eye ability.

“It’s not that powerful.”

“But I do feel a bit more affinity and understanding towards plants and spirit herbs.”

“I think with more time, I’ll be able to master the Spring Wind and Rain Technique, the Earth Spirit Nourishment Technique, and the Ten Thousand Trees Dew Technique, becoming a Second-Tier spirit plant master.”

Lu Miaoyun smiled and continue to share her joy.

A spirit plant master needs not only knowledge and identification of spirit plants but mainly mastery of spirit plant techniques.

Techniques like the Spring Wind and Rain Technique, Earth Spirit Nourishment Technique, and Ten Thousand Trees Dew Technique are advanced techniques for spirit plant masters.

“As expected of my Yun’r, you’re amazing.”

Lu Changsheng hugged his petite wife and praised her.

Since the household affairs had gradually been handed over to their children, and with the cultivation of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique, Lu Miaoyun and the others spen their time on various arts of immortality.

After all, once you have free time, you need to find something to do to pass it.

Things like formations, pill refining, Equipment Refining, and Talisman Making require high aptitude and cost a lot to practice.

So, she usually researched spirit plants, spirit cooking, brewing, medicine, and music with Qu Zhenzhen.

Due to the characteristics of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique, their offensive techniques were weak.

Even Fire Control, Insect Killing, and Corrosion Techniques were much weaker than those of cultivators at the same level.

But they had decent results with healing techniques, growth techniques, and the Spring Wind Technique, making them well-suited for the paths of spirit plant masters or healers.

“It’s all thanks to you, my husband!”

Lu Miaoyun clung to Lu Changshng’s arm, speaking in a sweet voice.

She had just broken through to Foundation Establishment, and she was very happy, her every expression filled with joy.

“Haha, let’s go home and properly celebrate Yun’r’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng gently stroked her hair, intending to take his three wives back to the Lu Family Mansion for a proper celebration.

“Husband, wait.”

Lu Miaoyun immediately said, ten walked to the Lingming Treasure Tree, crouching down and gently lifting her hand.

From the roots of the Lingming Treasure Tree, a mass of clear essence fluid with a hint of golden luster slowly flowed out.

It was the Lingming Essence Fluid condensed by the Lingming Treasure Tree!

“Husband, this is the Lingming Essence Fluid condensed by the Lingming Treasure Tree. If used to wipe and clean the eyes over time, it should grant a similar ability to the Lingming Eye.”

Lu Miaoyun used her spiritual ower to envelop the crystalline essence fluid and spoke to Lu Changsheng.

“I almost forgot about this.”

Lu Changsheng examined the essence fluid in front of him.

Every thirty years, the Lingming Treasure Tree’s roots would condense a portion of Lingming Essence Fluid.

But his mind had been entirely on Lu Miaoyun’s breakthrough to Fundation Establishment lately, and he had forgotten about this essence fluid.

This made him think that the combination of the Wanling Bottle and the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique was quite effective.

Not only could it steadily improve his wife’s cultivation, but the growth and harvest of spirit plants wouldn’t be neglected either.

He took out a porcelain bottle from his Storage Ring, stored the Lingming Essence Fluid, and handed it to Lu Miaoyun: “Yun’r, give this ssence fluid to Zixiao.”

“She’s a formation master and cultivates the Spiritual Eye Pupil Technique. This essence fluid will be of great help to her.”

Lu Changsheng said, suggesting that Lu Miaoyun give it to Ling Zixao as a token of appreciation.

He hoped the two could maintain a close relationship.

“Okay~”

Lu Miaoyun nodded in agreement

The three returned to Biyun Peak, to the Lu Family Mansion.

“Hey, is that Sister Yun?”

“Auntie, how did you suddenly become so young?”

Several concubines and children in the courtyard were shocked when they saw Lu Miaoyun.

“Hehe, I have some good news to announce. Yun’r has just broken through to Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

He was planning to hold a Foundation Establishment ceremony for Lu Miaoyun, so he had no intenion of keeping it a secret.

“Ah! Congratulations, Sister Yun!”

“Congratulations, Auntie!”

“Congratulations, Auntie!”

The concubines and children were all shocked, then quickly congratulated her.

Their words and gazes were filled with respect and envy.

It wasn’t just respect for Lu Miaoyun as the main wife!

It was also respect for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a Foundation Establishment ancestor!

Lu Changsheng then called for his son, Lu Yun, to arrange the Foundation Establishment ceremony.

“What? Mother, you’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment!?”

Lu Yun looked at Lu Miaoyun, who now seemed onl seventeen or eighteen years old, completely dumbfounded.

He never expected that in such a short time, his mother would break through to Foundation Establishment, leaving him in disbelief, as if in a dream.

“Isn’t it normal for your mother to break through to Foundation Establishment?”

“If you work hard in your cultivation, you too could break through to Foundation Establishment one day.”

Lu Changsheng said to his son.

With so many children in the family, he couldn’t focus on raising them all.

But as long as the children were diligent, they could be cultivated to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining with the family’s resources.

As their father, he would definitely prepare Foundation Establishment Pills and spirit materials for them, so they could attempt to break through to Foundation Establishment.

“What’s normal about this?”

Lu Yun wanted to say this.

But he respectfully replied, “I will work hard, Father.”

Then, he bowed to his mother, Lu Miaoyun, and congratulated er: “Congratulations on your breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, Mother. May your power grow, and may you achieve the Golden Core in the future!”

“Where did you learn such exaggerated words? The path of cultivation requires hard work. Don’t aim too high.”

Lu Miaoyun rolled her eyes at er son.

“Yun’r, he’s not wrong. Now that you’ve reached Foundation Establishment, achieving Golden Core is just a matter of time.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“Husband~”

Thinking of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique and the Wanling Heaven-Piercing Dew, Lu Miaoyun realized that achieing Golden Core was indeed possible. She looked at Lu Changsheng with a face full of love.

“???”

Lu Yun looked at the situation, feeling out of place, not knowing how to respond to his parents.

“Husband, we don’t need to hold a big ceremony. A small family celebration is enough.”

Lu Miaoyun clung to Lu Changshng, suggesting this.

She wasn’t fond of large gatherings and felt that celebrating with just the Bihu Mountain and Qingzhu Mountain families would be enough.

“We should still have one, even if it’s not too grand.”

“We’ll just invite those around Bihu Mountain who have business relations with us.”

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and then spoke to his son, Lu Yun.

“Father, when should the ceremony be held?”

Lu Yun immediately asked.

“You can arrange it as you see fit.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, not caring much about such a small matter.

“Let’s set it for two months from now. It doesn’t need to be too elaborate, just a small celebration.”

Lu Miaoyun was worried her sonmight not know what to do, so she gave him some guidance.

After settling everything, Lu Changsheng hosted a family banquet in the evening to celebrate.

When the other concubines heard the news, they all looked at Lu Miaoyun with envy and respet.

Especially those noble daughters who married into the family later.

They had decent talent, possessing Middle-Tier Spirit Roots.

If they cultivated diligently, even if delayed by childbirth for three to five years, or even ten years,

they still had hope of reaching the Ninth Level of Qi Refining and attempting to break through to Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty.

But in their situation, without resources, they didn’t dare to attempt Foundation Establishment.

Attempting Foundation Establishment under such circumstances would be seeking death!

Now, seeing Lu Miaoyun break through to Fondation Establishment, they naturally guessed that Lu Changsheng had supported her with resources.

They felt a surge of envy, hoping that one day they could gain Lu Changsheng’s favor and be supported to Foundation Establishment.

“I wonder if I can give birth to a prodigy.”

One concubine looked at her swollen belly, hoping her child would be talented enough to win Lu Changsheng’s favor.

After all these years at Bihu Mountain, they had come to understand.

Without exceptional ability, the only way to earn Lu Changsheng’s favor was through their children.

Like Shao Yuyao, who was once a maid bought by Lu Changsheng.

But because she gave birth to a son with a Fourth-Tier Spirit Root, Lu Qingxian, her status and treatment were far better than many others.

And another concubine, Xia Zhiyue, who gave birth to four children all with Middle-Tier Spirit Roots, received even more envy from them.

Late at night.

In an ancient-style room on Biyun Peak.

After the event!

After the event!

After the event!

“Umm, husband.”

Lu Miaoyun, who had just broke through to Foundation Establishment, was now lying limp like mud, her fresh and elegant face filled with post-event laziness, her delicate brows and eyes exuding a charming allure.

Although she had broken through to Foundation Establishment, and the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique gave her body extraordinary endurance and recovery, she still couldn’t withstand Lu Changsheng’s relentless actions.

After all, Lu Changsheng’s stamina was simply astonishing.

Over the years, their intimate moments had mostly involved Qu Zhenzhen, Xiaoqing, Xia Zhiyue, Shao Yuyao, and others together.

It had been a long time since she had been alone with Lu Changsheng.

Only today, after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, did they celebrate properly, reminiscing about their wedding night.

“Does Yun’r still want more?”

Lu Changsheng used the Love-binding Technique, holding his charming wife in his arms, whispering softly in her ear.

Although her appearance was that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, her body and aura were a mix of youth and maturity.

She had the graceful charm of a virtuous wife and mother, with a soft and full figure, combined with the youthful vitality and supple elasticity of a girl.

Moreover, due to the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique, after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, her body emitted a rich fragrance.

It was somewhat similar to the Lingming Treasure Tree, but completely different.

It was a unique feminine scent, like a floral fragrance, very pleasant and refreshing.

“No, no more.”

Lu Miaoyun’s voice was weak an soft, her delicate body flushed with a rosy glow, trembling slightly.

At this moment, she truly didn’t want to move a single finger, resting her sweat-drenched head on Lu Changsheng’s chest.

“Haha, did Yun’r enjoy it?”

Lu Changsheng saw that his wife was indeed tired, continuing could make her faint, so he carried her back to the bed.

He thought that perhaps only a Golden Core female cultivator, no, a high-level body cultivator, could withstand his actions alone.

“…”

Even after decades of marriage, such words still made Lu Miaoyun shy.

But she knew her husband liked to tease them this way, so she closed her eyes and softly said, “Yes, I enjoyed it.”

“Husband, maybe you should go find Sister Huan and the others.”

After being gently placed on the bed, Lu Miaoyun’s sweat-covered bod, smooth and white, glistening with a moist sheen, whispered.

“It’s fine, tonight I’ll stay with Yun’r.”

Lu Changsheng cast a Cleanse spell, cleaning the room, and quietly held his wife as they slept, experiencing the effects of the Love-binding Technique.

Since Dual Cultivation with Lu Miaoyun could improve his vsion, he wanted to try having her cultivate the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra.

But he found that the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique had an exclusivity.

Once someone cultivated this technique, it was difficult to cultivate other techniques, even auxiliary ones.

However, through his own use of the Love-binding Technique, he could feel that Dual Cultivation with Lu Miaoyun had slightly increaed the benefits.

But these benefits were still minimal and would only become noticeable after many years.

Lu Changsheng didn’t pay much attention to this.

After all, the effects of Dual Cultivation were an unexpected bonus for him.

He never expected to gain any significant abilities or benefits from it.

A few days later.

The news about Lu Miaoyun, the matriarch of te Lu Family on Bihu Mountain, breaking through to Foundation Establishment gradually spread.

This news didn’t cause much of a stir.

After all, compared to last year when Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge suppressed the Jinllng Ridge Grand Elder, and the Jin Patriarch personally went to Bihu Mountain to apologize, gifting Golden Core spirit materials and even claiming that Lu Changsheng had the potential to reach Golden Core,

this breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was nothing significant for Bihu Mountain.

It only made many family forces start to pay attention to Lu Miaoyun, the matriarch of te Lu Family.

However, this news caused quite a shock on Qingzhu Mountain.

It was like a giant stone had been thrown into a calm lake.

The new generation of disciples on Qingzhu Mountain might not understand.

But the Lu Family members of the Yuan and Miao generations, like Lu Yuanshan Ding and Lu Miaochang, were well aware of Lu Miaoyun’s situation.

A Seventh-Tier Spirit Root!

In terms of cultivation, she was just average, with nothing remarkable.

But now, Lu Miaoyun had actually brokenthrough to Foundation Establishment!

“Miaoyun broke through to Foundation Establishment…”

When Lu Yuanshan Ding, Lu Miaochang, Lu Miaofeng, and Lu Muping heard the news, they were at a loss for words.

It was as if they were dreaming.

After a long time, they calmed down and couldn’t help but be even more amazed by Lu Changsheng’s abilities and resources.

Back then, with Lu Changsheng’s help, Lu Miaoge broke through to Foondation Establishment, at least Lu Miaoge was a Foundation Essablishment prospect.

But Lu Miaoyun was someone with nohope of Foundation Establishment at all.

Yet now, she had completed Foundation Establishment, becoming a high and mighty Foundation Establishment ancestor!

“Miaoyun broke through to Foundation Establishment, Xiaoyu, is this true? You’re not fooling your great-grandmother, are you?”

The Fourth Elder looked at her great-granddaughter, full of disbelief.

She knew her granddaughter’s situation well.

Although Lu Miaoyun had said she couldnt leave Bihu Mountain because of the cultivation technique,

this sudden breakthrough to Foundation Establishment still seemed too unbelievable, absolutely impossible.

“Great-grandmother, it’s true, I wouldn’t lie to you.”

Lu Yu smiled helplessly.

But when she first heard the news and saw her mother, she was also incredibly shocked.

“Mother can’t come to pick you up herself, so she asked me to bring you to Bihu Mountain for a visit. You’ll see for yourself then.”

Lu Yu held her great-grandmother’s arm, speaking playfully.

“Alright, alright, great-grandmother will go with you.”

The Fourth Elder nodded repeatedly, thinking that Lu Yu wouldn’t lie about something like this, and got up to prepare to go to Bihu Mountain.

Although she occasionally visited Bihu Mountain, she was old and didn’t go back often.

Soon, Lu Yuanshan Ding, the current head of the Lu Family on Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Muping, and the Fourth Elder, along with Lu Yu, headed to Bihu Mountain.

After all, the ceremony was still some time away.

They were going to visit and congratulate her in advance.

Hundred Bird Lake.

The Bai family also received the news about Lu Miaoyun’s breakthrough to Fundation Establishment on Bihu Mountain.

“Let’s go, we’re heading to Bihu Mountain to congratulate them!”

Bai Yunyang, the Bai Family Ancestor, immediately took two family prospects to Bihu Mountain upon hearing the news.

Over the years, thanks to their cooperation with Bihu Mountain and the Hongye Valley Marketplace, the Bai family at Hundred Bird Lake had steadily grown.

The family now had several Foundation Establishment prospects and the financial resources to acquire Foundation Establishment Pills to nurture new Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But Foundation Establishment Pills were incredibly difficult to obtain!

Upon hearing the news, they immediately guessed that Lu Changsheng might have Foundation Establishment Pills.

They hoped that through their relationship and connections, they could purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill.

After all, among the Four Major Families, the Yu Family had been replaced by Lu Changsheng, and Centipede Ridge had been renamed Xu.

Qingzhu Mountain now had two Foundation Establishment cultivators sitting in charge.

If you included Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaoge, ther were four Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Meanwhile, the Bai family was still relying on Bai Yunyang alone.

For a family like theirs, with only one Foundation Establishment cultivator, the family head was practically imprisoned.

They couldn’t go out to seek opportunities or enlightenment, and their cultivation resources were limited, making it almost impossible to advance in cultivation, with little hope of breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in this lifetime.

Moreover, the family couldn’t expand beyond its current limits; if the Foundation Establishment ancestor had an accident, the family would collapse.

Bihu Mountain.

“Grandma, Father-in-law.”

Lu Changsheng heard that the Fourth Elder and Lu Yuanshan Ding had arrived and immediately went to greet them with his son Lu Yun, wife Lu Miaoyun, and Lu Miaohuan.

He also asked Xian’er to notify Lu Miaoge..

During this time, Lu Miaoge had been in seclusiin in her Cave Dwelling, preparing to break through to the Fourth Level of Foundation Establishment, so she rarely appeared.

“Great-grandmother, Grandfather.”

“Grandmother, Uncle.”

Lu Miaoyun was delighted to se her grandmother and greeted her warmly.

After all, due to the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique, she couldn’t leave Qingzhu Mountain voluntarily.

And her grandmother, being old, didn’t like to travel back and forth.

“Hmm? Are you… Yun’r?”

The Fourth Elder looked at Lu Miaoyun and paused.

If she hadn’t called out to her, she might not have recognized her at all.

She even wondered if Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun had another daughte.

“Grandma, it’s me, Yun’r.”

Lu Miaoyun smiled wryly, not epecting her grandmother to almost not recognize her.

But considering her appearance had changed, it was normal for the Fourth Elder to be hesitant.

“Good, good. You still look just like you did when you were young.”

The Fourth Elder studied her granddaughter’s appearance, gently caressing her face, smiling with joy.

After a while, she finally said in her aged voice, “Yun’r, I heard from Xiaoyu that you broke through to Foundation Establishment. Is that true?”

Even now, she could hardly believe her granddaughter had broken through to Foundation Establishment.

“Grandma, it’s true.”

Lu Miaoyun smiled as she reveaed her Foundation Establishment aura.

Although the Foundation Establishment from the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique was somewhat weak,

the aura couldn’t be faked.

“Good, good. I never thought I’d live to see my Yun’r become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

The old woman’s face was full of relief, her eyes slightly red.

To her, her granddaughter breaking through to Foundation Establishment and becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator was like their ancestors’ blessings, bringing honor to the family!

After chatting with Lu Miaoyun for a while, she tuned to Lu Changsheng, holding his hand, and said, “Changsheng, you’ve worked hard.”

The Fourth Elder knew that her granddaughter’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was undoubtedly due to Lu Changsheng’s support.

Otherwise, given her granddaughter’s situation, how could she have broken through to Foundation Establishment?

“Grandma, it’s no trouble at all. I even raised a big Dragon Carp just for you.”

Lu Changsheng smiled as he spoke.

But seeing the Fourth Elder’s aged appearance, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness.

Although she had taken first and Second-Tier Longevity Pills,

her lifespan was still limited.

After all, a Qi Refining cultivator theoretically had a lifespan of one hundred and twenty years, but few lived that long.

The Fourth Elder had been a Talisman Master in her younger years, spending much of her energy and spirit creating talismans.

Now, at over a hundred and ten years old, she likely had about ten years left.

“Good, good. You’re so thoughtful, Changsheng.”

The Fourth Elder was full of smiles, then looked at her great-grandchildren and said, “Yun’r, Xiaoyu, you must work hard too, and strive to break through to Foundation Establishment in the future.”

“Yes, Great-Grandmother.”

The siblings exchanged a glance and then nodded.

“Father-in-law, Sister Miaoge is in seclusion, preparing to break through. I’ve already sent word to her.”

Lu Changsheng explained to Lu Yuanshan Ding.

This father-in-law was now over eighty years old.

His hair was gray, and his face was aged, no longer the refined and youthful man he once was.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Cultivation is the priority.”

Lu Yuanshan Ding waved his hand, saying this.

Looking at Lu Yun and Lu Yu, he couldn’t help but think of his other grandchildren, Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu, with a hint of jealousy and longing in his eyes.

Although they were all family, his daughter’s children were naturally closer to him.

Especially since he had practically raised Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu himself.

“Grandma, Father-in-law, you must be tired from the journey. Let’s go inside.”

Lu Changsheng suggested, leading them into the Lu Family Mansion, and then said to his son, Lu Yun, “Yun’r, take some time to talk with Mu Nian.”

He naturally knew why the Qingzhu Mountain family had brought Lu Munian along.

They hoped the two families would interact more and become closer.

“Yes, Father.”

“Take care, Uncle.”

The two nodded.

Yue Kingdom, Golden Sun Sect.

“You want to go to the Purple Secrets Realm?”

Immortal Tian Yuan looked at Lu Qingshan in surprise.

Although the Purple Secrets Realm was in the Jiang Kingdom, it was close enough that cultivators from the Yue Kingdom often went there.

“Yes, Master. I’ll be going to the Qingming Realm in four years.”

“The Purple Secrets Realm is about to open, and I want to use this chance to test my sword and temper myself.”

“Besides, I promised Xiaozhu that I would take her home after breaking through to Foundation Establishment.”

“But with the Qingming Realm coming up, I won’t have time to take Xiaozhu home after my breakthrough.”

“So I thought I could take her home during the trip to the Purple Secrets Realm.”

Lu Qingshan, with his handsome face, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes, smiled as he spoke.

“In that case, I’ll take you and Qingzhu there later.”

Immortal Tian Yuan thought for a moment and agreed.

Although the Purple Secrets Realm was dangerous,

with Lu Qingshan’s current strength, he was practically invincible below Foundation Establishment, so he wouldn’t face much danger.

Moreover, the Jiang Kingdom was ruled by the Heavenly Sword Sect, a Top-Tier sword cultivation sect!

This trip to the Purple Secrets Realm would allow Lu Qingshan to spar with disciples and geniuses of the Heavenly Sword Sect, providing valuable experience.

By the time he returned from the Purple Secrets Realm and broke through to Foundation Establishment, he would be better prepared for the Qingming Realm.

“Thank you, Master!”

Lu Qingshan immediately bowed with a smile.

He then took his leave to inform his sister of the news.
