Ancestor Above - Chapter 178
178 Chapter 177-improving day by day (2 in 1)
A foundation building elixir and a set of moon essence powder. The success rate of the two combined was at least 80%, but he still failed to build his Foundation. Lu mingpu’s body constitution, power reserves, and cultivation were all lacking. In addition, his luck was really bad.
However, when he thought about it, the success rate of the clan’s Foundation establishment pill was already very high.
In the past few years, a total of five cultivators in the Lu clan had taken the foundation building elixir (excluding Lu Weiwen). Four of them had succeeded and one had failed. This was already much more than ordinary forces. The success rate of an ordinary force was about half to two-thirds. Even the Qingfeng sect, which had the moon essence pill, was the same.
!!
When the cultivators of the Lu clan were in the process of building their Foundation, Lu Qing would also exchange for some supplementary exchange items to help. However, when the number of people increased, there would always be failures instead of a 100% success rate.
The second month after mingpu’s defeat, a new piece of news came from Nian Kejun.
He found Lu Chaohe and told him that Jin Chao had started to cultivate in seclusion for three days.
This wasn’t a big deal. After all, wasn’t it normal for cultivators to go into seclusion? Not to mention, three days was such a short time.
However, Nian Kejun-who was outside-quickly sensed that something was wrong-there was a strong fluctuation of spiritual Qi coming from the cave abode where Jin Chao was in seclusion.
Nian Kejun immediately thought that his beloved wife might be trying to break through to the foundation building realm!
Upon hearing this news, Chaohe was a little frightened. “Didn’t you say that Jin Chao hasn’t reached the second level of the longevity Scripture?”
Nian Kejun smiled bitterly and said,”she lied to me, Yingluo.”
Jin Chao was 113 years old this year. She had taken a huashou pill and was also practicing the longevity Scripture. The huashou pill could restore her youth for 30 years, and the first layer of the longevity Scripture would take 15 years. These two factors added together were not enough for Lu Jinchao’s body to return to the state of being under the age of 60.
However, if he could cultivate the second level of the longevity Scripture and recover 30 years of time, that would be enough.
However, a cultivation technique like the longevity Scripture was a typical cultivation technique that was relatively easy to get started with, but extremely difficult to advance further.
There were a total of four people in the family who had started cultivating the longevity Scripture. They were Lu chaojun, Lu chaoling, Nian Kejun, and Lu Jinchao.
The longevity Scripture was the clan’s Secret, and very few people knew about it. Moreover, some of those who knew about it did not have the time or the need to practice it, such as Lu Weiwen, Lu chaoxi, and Lu mingchao.
The four of them had completed the first stage of the longevity Scripture in a little more than a year. However, it had been seven years since they had started cultivating the longevity Scripture, and they had never heard of anyone who had managed to reach the second level.
Nian Kejun was also cultivating this technique, so he naturally knew how powerful it was. He had no clue about the second level at all.
Under such circumstances, Nian Kejun did not doubt Jin Chao’s claim that she had not mastered the second level either.
But who would have thought that she would suddenly become one?
Yet, he was still so unyielding. After he had just cultivated the second level of the longevity Scripture, he immediately went into seclusion to make a breakthrough.
Nian Kejun was very sure that Lu Jinchao did not have any foundation building pills.
“What should we do now?” Nian Kejun panicked. He had always been calm and composed, and could even be considered resourceful, but when it came to his wife’s life, he was really at a loss for a moment and did not know what to do.
“Don’t be anxious about Yingluo. Have you told anyone else about this?”
“No, I didn’t,” At the very least, he still had some brains. Lu Jinchao was 113 years old, and he suddenly built his Foundation? There was no way to explain this to the outside world.
“That’s good.” Lu Chaohe said, ” come with me. She has been trying to reach the foundation building realm for three days. It’s too late to say anything now. The two of us will guard the side of her cave dwelling and protect her. This is the only thing we can do.”
Lu Chaohe held his forehead as he flew in the air with Nian Kejun.
Our Lu family, ah Yingluo, really has a strong character. Mingchao had done the same in the past. She had started to try to break through to the foundation building realm without a word. After the morning assembly, there were many more who had attempted this, but all of them died without exception. The miserable deaths of these pioneers had indeed stopped some people from taking unnecessary risks. However, there were still some people who were unwilling to give up. Under the circumstances of not being able to obtain the foundation building pill, they wanted to take a gamble.
But Jin dynasty didn’t need to!
After completing the second level of the longevity Scripture and adding the longevity pill, her current age was equivalent to 38 years old. She had long since reached the ninth level of the Qi refining stage. If she wanted to build her Foundation, she still had more than 20 years to find a way to earn this sum of money.
Why did he suddenly want to break through by himself?
Lu Chaohe could not figure out why his sixth sister was like this.
However, Nian Kejun, who had calmed down, understood that as a husband, he understood his wife’s thoughts.
Back then, when the Jin dynasty was close to 60 years old, they did not have a foundation building elixir and had struggled to think about whether they should make a breakthrough. In the end, she had almost made a decision to risk her life and fight, but she was stopped by her own words, ”
I support you. If you die, I’ll be with you.
Lu Jinchao gave up just like that.
She wasn’t afraid of death, but she didn’t want Nian Kejun to die.
Later on, this matter became the Jin dynasty’s greatest regret. As they grew older, their qi and blood deteriorated. As they got closer to the end of the Qi refining stage at the age of 120, this feeling of regret and remorse became deeper and deeper.
Nian Kejun saw this point clearly.
Sometimes, when Lu Jinchao was asleep, he would look at his wife’s face and think, what would have happened if I didn’t say this? Would she have been able to live with regrets?
But he did not regret it.
At least, Jin Chao was still alive. His breath was still caressing his face.
Those words were not only words he wanted to say to persuade her, but also his heartfelt words. He could not imagine what the world would be like after the death of Jin dynasty, and he did not want to live in that world.
Now, Lu Jinchao had another chance to try. All these years, she didn’t do much for the family, and she didn’t want to cause trouble for the family. She didn’t want to wait any longer, and she didn’t want her heart to waver again after telling Nian Kejun about this.
Thus, she chose such a decisive way to fulfill her past regrets.
Nian Kejun had thought about many things when he was guarding outside with Lu Chaohe.
While he was feeling complicated, his son tingyuan and grandson Ming Ling came together. When they noticed that Lu Chaohe, one of the clan’s leaders, had been standing guard beside their mother’s or grandmother’s cave abode for so long, they also felt that something was amiss.
But Chaohe didn’t let them go over, nor did he say why. He just told them not to ask and then quickly left. He also asked them not to make a sound.
Lu tingyuan could vaguely sense something, but he could only do as he was told.
After returning home, he sent His Son away and sat cross-legged in his quiet room. However, he could not calm down no matter what.
Lu tingyuan had complicated feelings for his mother.
The feeling of not having a mother since young, of course, would not be pleasant.
Fortunately, he had grown up in the family and was a close relative. His fourth uncle, Lu chaoling, treated him very well and he had never been bullied.
However, when he saw other children being loved by their mothers but not him, how could he not have any feelings?
However, he was already 95 years old this year. In his long life, childhood and youth were nothing. After he gradually settled down, he also clearly understood that although his mother did not raise him, she had given birth to him. He was able to grow up well in the Lu family and was a cultivator of the Lu family’s direct line of descent. Wasn’t it also because of his mother’s identity?
After thinking it through, he felt that he didn’t need to be too conflicted. Since his parents had already returned to the clan, he could just treat them with the etiquette of a parent. He already had his own family and his own children. He had to do it for them.
Today, after arriving at the scene, he had already vaguely guessed something. Although he found it unbelievable, the cultivation world was so big that there were all kinds of strange things. It was possible that he had guessed wrong.
But no matter what,
“I still hope that mother is healthy.”
……
The days passed, and Lu Jinchao’s breakthrough continued.
On the seventh day, Nian Kejun’s heart was in his throat.
Logically speaking, the most dangerous period of breaking through to the foundation building stage was the first seven days. A few days ago, mingpu had failed on the morning of the seventh day.
This was the last day. If they could pass it safely, the chances of Jin dynasty breaking through would be much higher.
For the whole day, Nian Kejun didn’t even have the mood to drink water. His hands were clenched tightly, and he didn’t even know that his palms were bleeding.
Just as he was feeling apprehensive, the sun rose on the eighth day. This also marked that Lu Jinchao had already passed the most dangerous period.
And now, in her cultivation room, the breakthrough was still going on.
Nian Kejun heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Lu Chaohe, who was beside him, felt the same way.
However, he was relatively more relaxed. Seeing Nian Kejun’s state, he couldn’t help but tease, “You look like you’re in the middle of breaking through to the foundation building realm,”
“If it were me, I probably wouldn’t even care so much.” Nian Kejun replied, feeling much more relaxed.
Another five days later, a spirit Qi tornado formed above Lu Jinchao’s room. However, taking advantage of these two days, Chaohe had also made some arrangements to shield the fluctuations of spiritual energy.
It was better to try to cover up the strange fact that the Jin dynasty built their Foundation at the age of 113. It was better not to publicize it to the public to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Lu Jinchao, who walked out of the quiet room, had already become a Foundation establishment cultivator.
Unable to contain his emotions, Nian Kejun ran up to her and held her in his arms.
Caressing her husband’s Haggard face, Lu Jinchao smiled and said, ” “Alright, alright. I’m sorry for making you worry. I can’t beat you. You have to quickly cultivate the second level of the longevity Scripture so that you can break through to the foundation establishment stage. I’ve been working hard for the clan these past few years and saved a foundation building pill for you.”
Nian Kejun nodded with a smile, but he sighed in his heart.
Back in the secret realm of the ancient ruins, he had used an illusionary technique to deceive the Jin dynasty, but in reality, he had never taken the huashou pill. The longevity that had been restored by the longevity Scripture alone was not enough for him to live under 60 years old. Naturally, it was impossible for him to break through.
This matter would be exposed sooner or later, but not now. Nian Kejun wouldn’t reveal this matter for at least twenty years.
He also hoped that he could cultivate the second stage of the longevity Scripture as soon as possible.
The longer she lived, the longer she could accompany Lu Jinchao.
Lu Qing, who was in mid-air, smiled and nodded as he watched this scene.
“This year, Kejun, please treat him a little better in the future.”
……
After Lu Jinchao built his Foundation, the Lu clan now had a total of 11 high-level cultivators who were at the foundation building stage and above.
Li Yanling would be able to enter the Golden core stage in three to five years at the earliest, or even ten years at the slowest. After successfully refining the external pill, with her own talent and accumulation, the probability and success rate would be more than 60%, which was already very high.
Chaoxi was still at the second level of the initial enlightenment stage, but she was about to reach the third level. He walked the Orthodox path. He would consume some cultivation resources during normal cultivation. From time to time, he would eat some of the family’s own produce or natural treasures obtained from the outside. As time passed, his strength would steadily improve.
Mingchao was still working on her Void Spirit root technique. However, the last time Lu Qing went to visit her, he realized that she had figured out something over the past few years. Although his main cultivation technique had not been settled yet, he had already made some progress on the escape technique that was suitable for Void Spirit roots that he had developed using the body blink technique. Although it wasn’t perfect yet, it looked like it could already be used in actual combat.
Other than the three of them, there were eight other foundation building cultivators. It just so happened that there were two people in each of the dynasty, court, Ming, and Wen generations.
However, the eight foundation building cultivators from the Lu clan were still not strong enough.
Chaohe was an old foundation building cultivator who had entered the eighth-tier foundation building at the beginning of this year. He was also in the late-stage foundation building realm. The other seven were all in the early stage of the foundation building realm, and their abilities still needed to be improved.
Lu xueting had attained the third-tier foundation building realm two years ago. Ming Ling and tingchou were both at the second-tier, while Wenen and Weiwen were extremely talented, but they had only cultivated for a short period of time and were only at the second-tier foundation building realm. However, looking at Weiwen’s situation, her cultivation speed had already surpassed her cousin’s, and she was about to reach the third-tier. On the other hand, Lu Jinchao and Lu Mingjie had just built their foundations this year, so it was still too early for them to improve.
Apart from the 11 high-level cultivators, the total number of cultivators in the clan would be over 80 this year.
But in the next few years, there would probably be a boom. Previously, Lu Qing had spent a lot of karma to transform the initial spiritual roots of the first generation of Lu family’s children. The karma spent on this would gradually show its effects in the future, allowing the number of cultivators in the Lu clan to increase significantly.
The more cultivators there were, the more manpower the clan’s business could have, and the more prosperous the clan would be.
Of course, he was spending more and more money.
The clan had to pay the clansmen a total of more than 4000 spiritual stones every year as their salaries, as well as rewards for completing missions. More than half of it was spent on the eleven advanced cultivators, including Li Yanling.
Li Yanling had originally refused to take it, as she already had a share in the sect. However, it was difficult for her to refuse, so she accepted half of it, which was about 700 spirit stones a year.
As for the cultivation problems of many high-level cultivators, they were also resolved after the upgrade of the spirit vein on Yuyan mountain.
Yuyan mountain was a great Spirit vein. After it rose to three-star, it could support the cultivation of all the cultivators in the Lu clan.
Of course, in order to make full use of the clan’s resources, the spirit Lake vein would not be wasted. Many of the clan’s water element cultivators, including the Jin dynasty, would be stationed there.
Everything was thriving.
