Chapter 375: Nangong Yaoyao Breaks Through, Mountain Shaking Fist!

Jin Kingdom.

Five Poison Sect, Heavenly Spider Peak.

Inside a lavish palace.

Nangong Mili, dressed in an elegant purple gauze dress with a bewitchingly beautiful face, quietly watched the young girl sitting cross-legged before her.

The girl appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen, with long, thick, black hair cascading down to the ground. Her beautiful eyes were closed. She bore a 70-80% resemblance to Nangong Mili.

However, compared to Nangong Mili, the girl’s exquisite and ethereal beauty lacked the seductive allure and had a more innocent, unworldly charm.

At this moment, the girl was breaking through to Foundation Establishment, surrounded by countless spiritual energies.

The mist-like aura wrapped around her skin, making her appear as if she were cloaked in an untouchable sacred light.

No one knew how much time passed when suddenly the spiritual energy around her dispersed, and a faint radiance flowed like a stream. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her star-like eyes opened.

“Mother!”

Nangong Yaoyao’s eyes, as pure as a mountain spring, were filled with joy as she looked at her mother and then threw herself into her arms.

Her beautiful and innocent smile seemed to cleanse the sins of the world.

“Congratulations, my precious Yaoyao. For breaking through Foundation Establishment, here is a gift from Mother.”

Nangong Mili held her daughter, affection radiating from her long, phoenix eyes as she kissed her delicate cheek snowy white.

She then raised her slender jade hand, and a series of luxurious brocade boxes appeared before them.

“Thank you, Mother.”

Nangong Yaoyao, like a little child, hugged her mother affectionately before eagerly opening the brocade boxes.

As Nangong Mili explained the contents, Nangong Yaoyao’s face lit up with joy, exclaiming in delight.

“Mother, now that I’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment, can I finally take on sect missions and venture outside?”

Nangong Yaoyao, after putting away the gifts, pursed her petal-like lips and asked her mother with excitement in her heart.

Though she was twenty-four years old.

She had grown up under her mother’s and Xiaochan’s care and had never stepped foot outside the Five Poison Sect.

For so many years, it was impossible to say she wasn’t curious about the outside world.

But her mother and Xiaochan always said the cultivation world was perilous and full of poison, and that she could only venture out after reaching Foundation Establishment.

“Of course. Later, I’ll have your Sister Xiaochan come back and take you to the Market for your mission.”

Nangong Mili, inhaling the fragrant aroma of her daughter’s skin, spoke dotingly.

Even though she was reluctant to let her beloved daughter go outside.

She understood that only a phoenix can be reborn from fire after overcoming difficulties, only after a storm can there be a rainbow.

For Foundation Establishment, she could make all the arrangements for her daughter.

But for Golden Core Formation, her daughter would have to work hard herself!

Besides, even if she showered her daughter with resources to push her to Golden Core Formation, it would mean cutting off her future prospects of reaching the Nascent Soul.

“Mhm, mhm.”

Nangong Yaoyao’s features were delicate, her starry eyes sparkled.

Though she had never ventured outside.

Her mother had taught her many ways of dealing with the world, how to handle dangers and resolve situations.

So she had always wanted to experience firsthand the dangers of the cultivation world.

“Now that Yaoyao has reached Foundation Establishment, I can finally take that trip to Jiang Kingdom.”

After chatting with her daughter for a while, Nangong Mili told her to consolidate her cultivation, then stepped out of the palace to a high tower, her long eyes gazing at the enveloping purple poison fog as she murmured to herself.

Back then, after refining the ‘Love Gu,’ she was ready to head to Jiang Kingdom to settle her grievances with Lu Changsheng.

But her daughter Nangong Yaoyao was still young, and she couldn’t leave her behind.

Now that her daughter had reached the Foundation Establishment stage and was about to go on her first training journey, she finally had the time to leave.

“If I can raise my True Core to an Immortal Golden Core, even if I can’t reach Nascent Soul, I can at least cultivate to the peak of Golden Core Formation.”

Nangong Mili looked at the trace of Golden Core Dao Rhythm on her True Core, and an image of Lu Changsheng surfaced in her mind.

Even after more than twenty years, she still remembered Lu Changsheng’s appearance clearly.

Meanwhile.

At White Tiger Mountain.

Because his daughter Lu Linghe had broken through to the second layer of Qi Refining and was eager to learn spells, Lu Changsheng was having a headache after a few days of teaching.

After thinking it over, he sent her to White Tiger Mountain to be taught by Lu Ping’an.

After all, the Lu Family lacked a proper body cultivator.

His son Lu Ping’an was at least half of one, so it made sense to have him teach his daughter.

“Xiao He, for the time being, train with your brother. Once you’ve mastered it, Daddy will come to pick you up.”

“If you miss Daddy or want to go home, you can ask your brother Ping’an to write to me.”

Lu Changsheng gently spoke to his daughter.

“Don’t worry, Daddy. I’ll train hard with Big Bro!”

Lu Linghe, with her hair tied in two buns and an adorable face, patted her small chest and nodded vigorously.

“Good.”

Lu Changsheng patted his daughter’s head and said to Lu Ping’an, “Ping’an, take good care of Xiao He.”

“Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll take good care of her.”

Lu Ping’an’s stature surpassed even his father’s as he spoke with a grin.

After dealing with everything, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a strong, pure power flow into his dantian, knowing it was one of his children breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

“Yaoyao?”

Lu Changsheng quickly guessed it was his daughter Nangong Yaoyao.

Even though some of his children were at the ninth level of Qi Refining, they were still some time away from reaching Foundation Establishment.

[Name: Nangong Yaoyao]

[Lifespan: 25/279]

[Talent: Second-Tier Spirit Root, Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body (Supreme Spirit Body)]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment, First Layer]

[Abilities: Charm Techniques Compatibility (89%)]

“Just as I thought.”

Lu Changsheng opened his daughter’s system panel and thought, “Just as I expected.”

Breaking through to Foundation Establishment at twenty-five was incredibly fast.

Even in the entire cultivation world of the Jiang Kingdom, she’d be considered a rare top genius.

However, with a Second-Tier Spirit Root, a supreme Spirit Body, and a Golden Core Formation mother, this cultivation speed was reasonable.

To Lu Changsheng, this was the result of careful, steady progress.

After all, breaking through isn’t just about speed.

Like his son Lu Qingxian and daughter Lu Wangshu.

If they kept taking pills and focused only on cultivation, they could have reached Foundation Establishment much faster.

But Lu Changsheng didn’t push them like that.

He even let them travel and guard the Market for years after breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The more you experience, the stronger your mind and resolve.

The greater your desires, the stronger your drive to succeed.

Cultivation isn’t something that can rely solely on a father’s wealth.

Seeing the harsh conditions of the lower levels of the cultivation world can make them treasure their current life more and push forward.

“Huh?”

Just as Lu Changsheng was about to leave White Tiger Mountain, he noticed his son Lu Qingsong chatting intimately with a tall, graceful woman, whose face was soft yet carried a hint of determination.

His eyes narrowed as he went to the puppet workshop to find his son, Lu Xian’er.

With a light tap, a water mirror appeared before him, showing the face of a woman.

“Xian’er, do you recognize this girl?”

Lu Changsheng asked Lu Xian’er.

His Divine Sense was now comparable to a Golden Core.

Because of Lu Miaoyun’s influence, his eys had a sort of illusion-piercing effect, allowing him to see through some disguises and concealment techniques.

Earlier, when he saw the girl talking to his son, he immediately noticed her cultivation at the eighth layer of Qi Refining and that her appearance was disguised.

Though he hadn’t visited White Tiger Mountain in a while.

He had a rough idea of the cultivators in the late stages of Qi Refining within the family and didn’t recall anyone like her.

After looking at the woman in the water mirror, Lu Xian’er spoke up, “Father, this woman is named Liu Yan. She was rescued by Qingsong six months ago and is a Talisman Master.”

“She’s currently serving as a guest cultivator at White Tiger Mountain.”

“But Qingsong seems to be interested in her.”

Lu Xian’er added.

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

After a few more questions, he called his son Lu Qingsong over.

“Father.”

Lu Qingsong wasn’t sure why Lu Changsheng had called for him, so he gave a respectful bow.

“The guest cultivator Liu Yan has disguised her appearance. Figure out what’s really going on.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Lu Qingsong’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Then, with a slightly grave expression, he said, “Rest assured, Father. I’ll get to the bottom of it.”

“No need to take it too seriously. Perhaps she’s just hiding her true identity to avoid trouble. Handle it carefully.”

“If you like her, a bit of trouble wouldn’t be an issue.”

With his current Divine Sense, Lu Changsheng could pick up on subtle changes in his son’s heartbeat, emotions, and even thoughts.

He knew that just as Lu Xian’er said, his son Lu Qingsong had a crush on this Liu Yan girl.

So he wouldn’t jump to any conclusions that she was trying to deceive the family or had ulterior motives, merely reminding his son.

“Understood, Father.”

Lu Qingsong replied solemnly before taking his leave.

“Sigh.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

This was why so many families favored arranged marriages.

Both sides would come from clear backgrounds, and there’d be no worries about unwanted troubles.

If you can’t be sure of the other person’s background, you might end up bringing trouble to the family.

Moments later, under the cover of his Divine Sense, Lu Changsheng watched as his son Lu Qingsong questioned the girl named Liu Yan.

When asked by Lu Qingsong, the girl called Liu Yan trembled before removing her disguise and confessing.

She admitted that her story was true, except for one part that she had omitted.

Six months ago, she had been approached by the young master of the Longguang Merchant Guild who expressed his interest in making her his concubine.

As a rogue cultivator, though she was attractive, her talent was average, making it difficult to reach Foundation Establishment.

So when the young master of the Longguang Merchant Guild proposed, she was tempted.

But caution got the better of her, so she checked him out.

She found out that the young master cultivated Essence Absorption techniques and that becoming his concubine would likely mean becoming his cauldron.

Upon learning this, she realized that if she became his concubine, she could end up as a cauldron, so she rejected him.

But who knew, the young master flew into a rage and tried to attack her.

Faced with this situation, she took advantage of his carelessness and used an old secret treasure called the ‘Blood Burning Needle’ to kill him.

Because of that, she suffered a severe loss of vital blood. While on the run, she encountered four rogue cultivators and was then saved by Lu Qingsong.

“Longguang Merchant Guild?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this name.

Wasn’t that the merchant guild founded by the Jin Family of Jinlong Ridge and a few other Foundation Establishment families?

He mused that she had indeed picked the right place to flee to.

“The girl’s account seems truthful, but you can handle it as you see fit.”

“As for the Longguang Merchant Guild, our family has nothing to fear from them.”

Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to his son.

Liu Yan was just a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage.

Under the scrutiny of his Divine Sense, unless she had an extraordinarily strong mind, any lie would be evident.

After speaking, Lu Changsheng withdrew his Divine Sense and stopped paying attention to the matter.

He stood up to leave White Tiger Mountain, planning to visit the Azure Cloud Sect to teach the Baoding Medicine King Scripture to Zhao Qingqing.

Moreover, in recent days, his daughter Lu Xingyue, who was apprenticed to the Azure Cloud Sect, had also reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. It was the perfect time to visit.

If his daughter had good comprehension, she could also study this Baoding Medicine King Scripture.

At the back of White Tiger Mountain.

Lu Ping’an punched out, the sound like a dragon’s roar, causing layers of airwaves and making the mountain shudder.

“Wow, Big Bro! That’s amazing! I want to learn that! I want to learn that!”

Lu Linghe’s little face turned bright red with excitement as she clapped her hands in admiration after seeing her big brother shake the earth with a punch.

“Yes, this is the punch I will teach you. It’s called the Mountain Shaking Fist. Its purpose is to shake mountains with a single strike.”

Lu Ping’an said to his sister.

Since their father had entrusted him with his sister’s training, he would teach her seriously.

Through simple observation, he realized that complex techniques were too difficult for her to grasp.

So if she couldn’t handle complicated moves, they would keep it simple—just practice one punch.

With one punch, break all techniques!

With one punch, decide victory or defeat! With one punch, determine life or death!

Once she mastered the first punch, he would teach her the second.

This set of punches was also his simplification of his Martial Path and the Hundred Refined Body Technique.

As long as she could grasp the basics, she could learn the rest.

“Okay, Big Bro, don’t worry. I’ll practice hard!”

Lu Linghe eagerly nodded her head like a little chick pecking at rice, then clenched her fists and thrust them forward with a determined shout.

“Swish!”

Although this punch lacked any real technique, the force behind it caused a slight whooshing in the air.

Lu Ping’an knew that his sister must have consumed a lot of Natural Treasures in her youth; otherwise, she wouldn’t have this kind of strength at her age.

“Come on, Xiao He, follow my lead.”

Lu Ping’an smiled as he got into position, guiding his sister through her practice.

Since childhood, he understood a simple truth. Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning becomes clear. The same goes for martial arts.

Just like him, his talent for martial arts was not much better than that of his younger siblings.

The only advantage he might have was a strong interest in martial arts, so he practiced a bit harder than his peers.

So he believed that as long as his sister practiced enough, she could master this punch too.

And so, the older brother and little sister practiced punching together.

Simple, straightforward punches.

One month later.

After visiting Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing in the Azure Cloud Sect and encouraging his children.

Telling them not to rush for Foundation Establishment, Lu Changsheng, after ensuring they continued practicing in the sect, left the Azure Cloud Sect on his purple flying shuttle.

If he weren’t in a hurry, he would rarely use the Starlight Disk.

And usually, when he visited the Azure Cloud Sect, he would seal all his cultivation and energy using the Nine Treasures Dao Bone.

This was to avoid catching the attention of Azure Cloud Sect’s Golden Core Formation masters with his current cultivation level.

Since being noticed at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment would easily bring trouble.

“Hmph, finally caught you!”

However, as Lu Changsheng left the Azure Cloud Sect, Yun Wanshang, dressed in a luxurious colorful palace robe on Caiyun Peak, coldly snorted.

This time, he had disturbed her mind again, making her irritated. She was determined to make him pay!

Over these past six months, she had envisioned this moment countless times in her mind and was sure this time, she wouldn’t fail!
