Chapter 352: Lu Quanzhen’s Foundation Establishment and the Yin-Yang Genesis Manual!
by xennovel“The difficulty of having offspring increases several times after breaking through?”
Although Lu Ping’an wasn’t married yet, he was traditional and felt he should start a family in the future.
If he did, he would naturally want one or two children.
Hopefully, one boy and one girl!
But the difficulty of having offspring wasn’t absolute; it just made it harder. He nodded without saying much.
He then focused his mind on the Jade Slip, reading its contents.
After a long time.
Lu Ping’an roughly understood the Black Dragon Scripture.
The purpose of the technique was to observe the transformation of a true dragon.
During cultivation, one would condense dragon scales, dragon skin, dragon tendons, dragon bones, and dragon blood. In the end, one could transform into a black dragon.
Their physical body would be strong enough to rival dragon beasts.
This was also why the transformation of the human body’s flesh and bones into dragon traits made it difficult to have offspring.
Aside from this flaw, Lu Ping’an was very interested in the Black Dragon Scripture.
Although this technique was both for the body and the mind, it focused more on body tempering.
With the foundation of the Hundred Refined Body Technique, cultivating this technique would save him many body-tempering steps, allowing for rapid progress.
“If you think it’s suitable, you can give it a try. If not, I’ll think of another way.”
Lu Changsheng said this.
Breaking through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment was extremely important!
Naturally, he wanted his son to cultivate a Top-Tier technique.
“Dad, I’ll give it a try.”
Lu Ping’an said in a deep voice.
But after speaking, he scratched his head awkwardly and asked Lu Changsheng, “Dad, are there pills and Natural Treasures in the cultivation world that can increase the chances of having children?”
“Haha.”
Lu Changsheng laughed at his son’s words and said, “Not only are there pills and Natural Treasures for that, but there are also Secret Techniques for it.”
“Do you need them now? If so, I can teach you.”
Since he had given this technique to his son, he naturally considered this aspect.
He currently had a secret technique, the Five Aggregates Cultivation Technique, which could increase the chances of pregnancy.
If Lu Ping’an reached Golden Core Formation before wanting children, and this secret technique was insufficient, by then, he would likely have access to pills and Natural Treasures that could ensure offspring.
“No need, no need. I was just asking.”
Lu Ping’an quickly waved his hand, dismissing his last few concerns.
Then, Lu Changsheng taught Lu Ping’an how to cultivate the Black Dragon Scripture.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
After settling the affairs of his two sons and handling the household matters, Lu Changsheng found his daughter, Lu Wangshu, to take her to the Luoyun Mountain Range.
After all, he had previously promised to take his precious daughter out to see Xiao Xiyue.
But due to the Purple Secrets Realm, it had been delayed.
Now that he had the time, he naturally took his daughter out to see the world.
“Bui biu biu.”
Lu Wangshu was feeding her younger sister, Lu Linghe.
Although this little girl was only two and a half years old, she was very agile, opening her mouth and eating chestnut after chestnut.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng immediately went over and knocked on Lu Wangshu’s head, saying in a displeased tone, “Lu Wangshu, what are you treating Xiao He as?”
Previously, both he and Ling Zixiao had thought that their daughter, Lu Linghe, seemed a bit slow and not very smart.
If Ling Zixiao saw her precious daughter being teased like this by Lu Wangshu, she would likely be in a bad mood.
“But Xiao He is clearly very happy.”
Lu Wangshu immediately covered her head and huffed, saying defiantly.
“Dad, awoo!”
Lu Linghe saw Lu Changsheng and immediately called out in a cute and innocent voice.
“Xiao He, come here, let Dad hold you.”
Lu Changsheng picked up his daughter and pinched her chubby, pink cheeks.
“Dad, I want to eat chestnuts.”
Lu Linghe pointed to the chestnuts in Lu Wangshu’s hand, speaking in a sweet, childish voice.
As Lu Changsheng had guessed, Lu Linghe had inherited the body-tempering talent of the Dragon Chant Physique.
So, it was already evident that her body was much better than that of an ordinary child.
But this also made her appetite much larger than that of an average child, and she was very gluttonous.
His son, Lu Lingxiao, didn’t have this issue.
“Alright.”
Lu Changsheng took the chestnuts from Lu Wangshu’s hand and gently fed them to his daughter.
But after feeding her a few, he thought of Lu Wangshu’s feeding method just now, found it amusing, and couldn’t help but try it.
He let Lu Linghe stay still while he tossed the chestnuts into her mouth.
“Awoo, awoo!”
Seeing his daughter’s lively and joyful expression, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile, finding it very entertaining.
But the next moment, he noticed that not far away, Lu Wangshu was looking at him with disdain and contempt.
“Ahem, Xiao He must be tired. Here, have some water.”
Lu Changsheng cleared his throat and handed his daughter a cup of water.
Then he took out a bottle of spirit dew from his Storage Ring and handed it to Lu Wangshu, saying, “Here, Wangshu.”
“Hehe, Dad, isn’t it fun?”
Lu Wangshu immediately smiled and said with a grin.
“I told you to take care of Xiao He so that you two sisters could get along, not for you to play around.”
Lu Changsheng said with a hint of exasperation, “If your Aunt Zixiao saw this, what would she say?”
“Bleh, bleh, bleh.”
Lu Wangshu made a funny face.
She used to be quite afraid of Ling Zixiao.
But after spending time together over the past two years, she found that Ling Zixiao was actually a very gentle person.
“I have some free time now, so I’m planning to take you to the Luoyun Mountain Range. Do you need to pack anything?”
Lu Changsheng shook his head helplessly and asked.
“Huh, so soon?”
Lu Wangshu’s face lit up with surprise.
After thinking for a moment, she said, “Hmm, it doesn’t seem like I need to pack anything, Dad. I’m ready to go anytime.”
“Alright, in that case, we’ll leave tomorrow.”
Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter, Lu Linghe, in his arms and said.
Then he carried Lu Linghe to find his son, Lu Lingxiao.
Although this son was a twin with Lu Linghe, their personalities were completely different.
He was a quiet child, and he found things like reading, refining pills, making talismans, and puppetry fascinating.
Moreover, this son didn’t like Lu Wangshu.
Or rather, he found his sister childish and uninteresting.
The next day, after informing Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaoge, Lu Cangsheng left Bihu Mountain with his daughter, Lu Wangshu.
The Luoyun Mountain Range was on the border of the Qingyun Region and the Sunset Glow Sect, quite far from Bihu Mountain, taking over a month to reach.
But since this was a leisurely trip, Lu Changsheng didn’t hurry the whole way, letting Lu Wangshu explore the mountains and rivers along the way.
At this moment, the water surface sparkled.
A beautiful girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a pink and white dress, was holding a fishing rod, seemingly fishing.
“Lu Wangshu, can you tell me the difference between fishing here and fishing at home?”
Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter, who was quietly fishing with a rod in hand, and finally couldn’t help but ask.
They had been traveling when Lu Wangshu suddenly said she felt an epiphany and that her breakthrough was near.
Then his daughter came here to fish and meditate for her breakthrough.
But after over an hour of fishing, there was no sign of a breakthrough, which made Lu Changsheng a bit impatient.
If you want to break through, just do it properly. What does fishing have to do with it?
“Shh.”
Lu Wangshu raised her white jade-like finger, signaling Lu Changsheng to be quiet.
“The fish is biting!”
A moment later, Lu Wangshu stood up and lifted the rod.
The sparkling water splashed as a carp was pulled up by Lu Wangshu.
At the same time, a surge of spiritual power spread from her body, forming a spiritual pressure that made the surrounding spiritual energy surge.
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng was stunned, looking at his beautiful daughter in front of him, silent for a moment.
Alright, alright, so this is how you want to do it?
Are you deliberately trying to mess with your dad?
A moment later, a surge of spiritual pressure fluctuated, and Lu Wangshu broke through from the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining to the Sixth Layer.
“Dad, cultivating is about cultivating the heart. In all matters, one must remain calm and patient.”
Lu Wangshu, in her pink and white dress, smiled gracefully, exuding an ethereal aura.
“Alright, alright, Fairy Wangshu is right.”
Lu Changsheng was both amused and exasperated by his daughter.
He found it hard to maintain his usual calmness whenever he was with this daughter.
“Hehe.”
Lu Wangshu saw her father’s reaction and couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
“Consolidate your realm properly. We’ll set off later.”
Lu Changsheng said helplessly.
And so, the two of them took two months to reach the Luoyun Mountain Range.
At that time, Xiao Xiyue was busy and didn’t have much time.
After waiting for several days, Xiao Xiyue finally found time to meet them at a small Market nearby.
With Lu Wangshu acting as a third wheel, Lu Changsheng didn’t have much time to cultivate the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra with Xiao Xiyue.
He thought to himself, next time he came to the Luoyun Mountain Range, he would come alone and not bring his daughter.
Since the Luoyun Mountain Range was still in a semi-sealed state, Lu Changsheng didn’t plan to visit the secret realm.
After spending half a month with Xiao Xiyue, he took his daughter back to Bihu Mountain, traveling leisurely along the way.
When Lu Changsheng and Lu Wangshu returned to Bihu Mountain, Lu Quanzhen had already begun his Foundation Establishment breakthrough.
Although his son’s breakthrough was almost certain,
as a father, Lu Changsheng still watched over him in the Sumeru Cave Heaven.
Considering that his son would go on a journey after completing Foundation Establishment, Lu Changsheng went to the Lu Family Mansion to bring Qu Zhenzhen to the Sumeru Cave Heaven, informing her of Lu Quanzhen’s breakthrough.
After all, his son’s journey after Foundation Establishment could last several years, even over a decade.
He couldn’t keep it a secret from his wife forever.
Besides, Qu Zhenzhen wasn’t that naive.
It was better to tell her directly that her son was exceptional, not an ordinary person. She shouldn’t worry too much and should let him go.
“Ah, Quanzhen is breaking through Foundation Establishment!?”
Qu Zhenzhen, upon arriving at the Sumeru Cave Heaven and hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, looked at the log cabin where Lu Quanzhen was breaking through with a face full of surprise.
She had heard from her daughter, Lu Caizhen, about her son’s cultivation level.
She knew Lu Quanzhen had reached the Ninth Level of Qi Refining!
But she didn’t expect her son to attempt Foundation Establishment so soon!
“Quanzhen didn’t even tell me about something so important!”
Qu Zhenzhen, feeling a mix of joy and slight hurt, thought.
She felt that such an important matter as Foundation Establishment should have been shared with her, his mother.
Just like when her son reached the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, she wouldn’t have known if her daughter, Lu Caizhen, hadn’t told her.
“Husband, how confident is Quanzhen in his Foundation Establishment? Is there a chance of failure? If he fails, will it be dangerous?”
Qu Zhenzhen began to worry about her son’s situation and asked with concern.
Although the Lu Family had many who had reached Foundation Establishment,
from what she had heard in her early years, Foundation Establishment was a lofty goal, very difficult and full of dangers!
“Hehe, don’t worry. Quanzhen’s breakthrough is almost certain; there won’t be any accidents.”
Lu Changsheng smiled lightly and said.
He then pulled his wife into his arms, sat down beside her, and said softly, “Zhenzhen, Quanzhen is actually much more exceptional than we thought.”
“Husband…”
Qu Zhenzhen was stunned, pursed her lips, lifted her head, and said softly, “I know Quanzhen is exceptional.”
“He’s been determined since he was young, always studying diligently and doing everything well without me, as his mother, having to worry at all.”
“I also know that he longs for the outside world and wants to achieve success in cultivation, but I’m just worried that he might encounter some danger.”
Qu Zhenzhen snuggled into Lu Changsheng’s arms, her beautiful eyes slightly reddening.
She was simple by nature, but that didn’t mean she was naive.
How could she, as a mother, not know about her son’s situation?
Even if she couldn’t see much, she knew about her son’s situation from everyday conversations with her children, Lu Miaoyun, and Ling Zixiao.
But her experiences in her early years made her only wish for her children to be safe and sound, without expecting them to achieve great things.
So she was very worried that her son might encounter danger one day and, like her brother, disappear without a trace.
“Sigh.”
Lu Changsheng sighed, intertwined his fingers with his wife’s soft, white hand, rested his chin on her hair, and said, “Home is good, but this isn’t the life Quanzhen wants.”
“A pond can’t raise a dragon. Since Quanzhen has such ambitions, we, as parents, should support him.”
“Besides, I believe Quanzhen will make a name for himself in the cultivation world world, and he has me as his father.”
Lu Changsheng held his wife in his arms, gently comforting her.
“Mhm.”
Qu Zhenzhen snuggled in Lu Changsheng’s arms and softly responded, not saying anything more.
She had known for a long time that her husband and son, Lu Quanzhen, were on the same page, hiding things from her together.
Half a month later.
Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a surge of powerful energy entering his body, forming drops of liquid Qi in his dantian.
This Qi brought his cultivation directly to the peak of the Seventh Layer, and it wouldn’t be long before he could attempt the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment!
At the same time, the system prompt arrived as expected!
“Congratulations, host! Your first offspring has successfully broken through to Foundation Establishment. You have gained the bloodline effect: 1% increase in offspring Spirit Body inheritance rate and one advanced lottery draw!”
“He broke through!”
Lu Changsheng’s whole body shook, knowing that his son, Lu Quanzhen, had broken through to Foundation Establishment!
The first second-generation member of the Lu Family had reached Foundation Establishment!
But what surprised him the most was that his son’s breakthrough not only earned him an advanced lottery draw.
He also gained a bloodline effect that increased the inheritance rate of Spirit Bodies in his offspring!
Although it was only 1%,
it was still a Spirit Body!
And as more of his children broke through to Foundation Establishment, this bloodline effect could stack and increase!
“Spirit Body inheritance rate… I already have several Spirit Bodies, so there’s already a chance of inheriting one.”
“If this inheritance rate increases further, and the mother of my children also has a Spirit Body, wouldn’t it mean the child will likely inherit one?”
Lu Changsheng felt a wave of excitement in his heart.
After all, Middle-Tier Spirit Roots or High-Tier Spirit Roots were no longer impressive.
The combination of Spirit Roots and Spirit Bodies was the real deal!
“System, draw!”
Seeing that his son still needed time to consolidate his cultivation, Lu Changsheng silently commanded, ready to perform the lottery draw first.
The advanced lottery wheel appeared.
“I hope this time it’s something good, not another useless technique like the True Saint Method of Brahma Demon!”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, murmuring to himself.
The True Saint Method of Brahma Demon, although powerful, was unusable by him, making him frustrated for a long time.
He hoped that the previous draw was just a warm-up and that this one would be more rewarding.
The lottery wheel began to spin!
Under Lu Changsheng’s gaze, the golden light finally stopped on the ‘Techniques’ reward section.
“Huh? Another technique!?”
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat.
Then, an image of a Jade Scroll appeared on the lottery wheel, accompanied by a system prompt.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the technique ‘Yin-Yang Creation Sutra’!”
“The reward has been sent to the system space. The host can view it at any time.”
“Yin-Yang Creation Sutra? This name sounds a bit like a dual cultivation technique.”
Seeing the name of the technique, Lu Changsheng recalled the Yin-Yang Harmonization Technique he had obtained before, and his mood became a bit heavy.
If this was another Essence Absorption and Dual Cultivation technique, wouldn’t it be a waste of another advanced lottery draw?
He immediately checked the system space.
“Technique: Yin-Yang Creation Sutra.”
“Grade: True Immortal.”
“Description: A legacy technique from the Yin-Yang Immortal Palace. The cultivation conditions are extremely harsh and require the use of Yin-Yang Dual Qi as a catalyst. Once mastered, it can divide Yin and Yang, create all things, and overturn heaven and earth.”
“Hmm? It doesn’t seem to be a dual cultivation technique but a supreme technique based on the Yin-Yang Dao?”
Lu Changsheng pondered as he read the description of the technique.
But seeing that the cultivation conditions were extremely harsh, requiring Yin-Yang Dual Qi as a catalyst, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but frown.
The True Saint Method of Brahma Demon he obtained before was the same, with a bunch of harsh conditions, making it unusable.
“System, transmit the technique!”
Lu Changsheng didn’t overthink it and decided to use the technique.
Immediately, the cultivation method and related content of the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra entered Lu Changsheng’s mind like a flood of knowledge.
Lu Changsheng closed his eyes, focused his mind, and quietly comprehended the True Immortal level technique in his mind.
This technique was extremely profound, and despite the system’s transmission, it still took a long time to digest.
“As expected of a True Immortal level technique, it’s indeed extraordinary, far beyond what an orthodox level technique can compare.”
After a long time, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes as if awakening from a dream and murmured.
As a True Immortal level technique, the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra, like the True Saint Method of Brahma Demon, was a technique that could be cultivated to immortality!
And this technique wasn’t a dual cultivation or Essence Absorption technique.
As he guessed, it was a supreme technique based on the Yin-Yang Dao!
Even though he hadn’t started cultivating it yet, just from the system’s transmission of the technique, Lu Changsheng knew that this technique far surpassed his current Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Manual.
Divine Abilities!
Qi foundation!
The essence of the technique!
All of it crushed orthodox level techniques!
He even felt that this Yin-Yang Creation Sutra was far more profound and mysterious than the True Saint Method of Brahma Demon he had obtained before.
“Yin and Yang nurture all things, unify all techniques… This Yin-Yang Creation Sutra seems to suit me quite well.”
Lu Changsheng quietly comprehended the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra in his mind.
Although this technique wasn’t primarily a dual cultivation technique,
as a technique based on the Yin-Yang Dao, encompassing all things, it still had considerable insight into the Dao of Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation.
It was indeed very suitable for someone like him who had Dao companions and multiple Dao companions.
Furthermore, Lu Changsheng noticed one of its effects, the unification of all techniques!
This characteristic allowed one to cultivate multiple techniques or spells while maintaining balance, and even convert one’s Qi to match demonic or other techniques using void treasures.
This made Lu Changsheng realize that if he mastered the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra, he wouldn’t need to worry about dual cultivation in the future and could directly cultivate the True Saint Method of Brahma Demon!
Additionally, Lu Changsheng even saw the possibility of solving the Dragon Chant Physique problem for Ling Zixiao and his daughter, Lu Linghe!
The more he examined this technique, the more excited Lu Changsheng became, feeling it was perfect for him!
“But cultivating this technique requires Yin-Yang Dual Qi as a catalyst…”
Lu Changsheng exhaled deeply and looked at his Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation.
The Dao Foundation resembled a jade plate, glowing with five elemental colors.
Around the jade plate, a small Yin-Yang fish swam in circles.
“According to the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra, this Yin-Yang Dual Qi must be captured during the alternation of Yin and Yang in the heavens and earth, refined through countless rituals, and then formed into a single strand.”
“Aside from this method, there is also a type of Dao body called the ‘Yin-Yang Dao Body,’ which is born with Yin-Yang Dual Qi.”
“But both of these are unrealistic for me; I can’t obtain them. In theory, the Yin-Yang Dual Qi in my Dao Foundation should qualify, but I’m not sure if it will work.”
Although Lu Changsheng felt that the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra was perfect for him,
this technique wasn’t something that could be cultivated just because one wanted to!
Techniques like the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Manual, the Hundred Refined Body Technique, the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture, and other techniques required only comprehension.
They didn’t have high demands on talent.
But techniques like the True Saint Method of Brahma Demon and the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra not only required extremely high comprehension.
They also had harsh requirements for talent and external resources!
“They’re both Yin-Yang Dual Qi, so I can give it a try. If I can successfully cultivate the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra, it will greatly benefit me, and I won’t have to worry about techniques in the future!”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, deciding to try cultivating this technique later.
Although switching techniques now would greatly hinder his progress and waste time,
it would also affect the Taiyi Dao Seed in Lu Miaoge’s body, hindering hhr cultivation.
But in Lu Changsheng’s view, as long as he could successfully cultivate the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra, it would all be worth it!
