Chapter 288 Both of Them Broke Through, Zhao Qingqing Strives to Build a Foundation!

Half a year later.

Changsheng Palace, retreat cave.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge sat opposite each other, their palms facing each other, their bodies were crystal clear, their aura was surging, their appearance was solemn, and countless spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered in their bodies.

Taiyishengshuijue is a dual cultivation method for Taoist couples. The two of them practiced it on weekdays, which naturally had a complementary effect.

In the past six months since Lu Miaoge came back, not only Ling Zixiao's physical conditioning progress has improved.

The speed of practice of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge has also been greatly improved.

"Huhuhuhu——"

With the gathering of spiritual energy, the aura of the two people flowed and merged into one.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, two streams of magic power and spiritual pressure burst out from their bodies, and they all broke through.

"Forty-seven years old, sixth level of foundation building."

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes as bright as stars and exhaled lightly.

Although he spent most of his time on making talismans, refining pills, and accompanying his wife, concubines and children, his practice was not delayed too much.

With the improvement of spiritual roots, sufficient supply of elixirs, and the dual cultivation effect of Dao foundation, his cultivation speed even exceeded that of many people who practiced hard.

He simply felt the breakthrough changes.

The total amount of Qiyao mana in his body increased by 20% compared with the fifth level of foundation building.

There is not much difference in quality.

This improvement is not as much as the increase brought to him by Xuanyuan Pearl.

However, as long as he takes one more step, breaks through the seventh level of foundation building, and enters the realm of late foundation building, his mana and strength will usher in a qualitative change.

"Congratulations, husband~"

At this time, Lu Miaoge also slowly finished her work, her beautiful eyes as gentle as water opened, looking around, full of joy and admiration.

"Haha, congratulations to Sister Miaoge for breaking through the third level of foundation building."

Lu Changsheng looked at his wife and laughed out loud.

Because Lu Miaoge's practice has been delayed for these years, she is still in the second level of foundation building.

Otherwise, with his Taiyi Dao seeds and the elixirs given, she should have broken through the third level of foundation building long ago.

"Such a great joy, we should celebrate it well!"

Lu Changsheng embraced his soft and fragrant wife.

After a warm and playful time, the two put on their robes, walked out of the Changsheng Palace, and came to the Lu family mansion.

"Yun'er, has anything happened at home these days?"

Lu Changsheng asked his wife Lu Miaoyun.

Although he didn't worry about family affairs, he would still care about some things.

"Nothing."

Lu Miaoyun said softly: "But under the guidance of Senior Honglian, the breeding and cultivation of the carp king at home has made progress and breakthroughs."

She practiced the method of longevity in heaven and earth, and sacrificed the Lingming treasure tree as her life root. The whole person was always filled with a fresh and vibrant breath, which made people feel very comfortable.

"Oh, there has been another breakthrough in the cultivation of carp at home. This is good news."

Lu Changsheng smiled a little when he heard it.

As a top-level third-level beastmaster, Honglian is very good at cultivating spirit beasts.

So in recent years, some suggestions and guidance have been given to the cultivation of red-blooded carp and green-blooded carp in the Bishui Lake and fish farm.

Last year, the fishery income of Bihu Mountain increased by more than 10%.

So Lu Changsheng plans to open another spiritual beast breeding farm in Bihu Mountain and cultivate spiritual beasts by the way.

After chatting for a while, Lu Changsheng brought Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaoyun to the fish farm for inspection.

"Meet the mountain master! Meet the lady!"

"Father, aunt!"

Zhong Yu, Lu Xiaoru and several other fishermen came to pay their respects.

"Haha, I heard that there is a breakthrough in the cultivation of carp, I came to see it."

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and looked at the fish farm.

He saw huge carp swimming inside.

"Report to the mountain master, the time it takes for carp to be promoted to King Carp has been reduced by 30%, and in the process of reproduction."

Zhong Yu hurriedly reported.

"Well, you did a good job on this matter, and there will be rewards from the clan."

Lu Changsheng encouraged.

Although the cultivation optimization of carp is mainly provided by Honglian, it also needs the implementation of the people below.

After a simple inspection of the fish farm and the spiritual field, Lu Changsheng returned to the Lu family mansion and held a family dinner at home, which was lively.

Now there are so many wives and concubines in the family, it is naturally impossible for him to accompany everyone.

So every time he retreats, he will hold a family dinner to make the family lively.

During this period, he took this opportunity to chat with his wives, concubines and children about the family situation.

However, most of the topics of chat between wives and concubines now, in addition to caring about his situation, are to talk about the children at home.

For example, Qu Zhenzhen said with a face of grievance that it has been almost two years, and his son Lu Quanzhen has not come back except for writing two letters.

And daughters Lu Yuzhen and Lu Caizhen are not young anymore, and they have to consider recruiting a son-in-law to start a family.

"Don't worry, Quanzhen is fine, and it is estimated that he will come home at about the same time."

Lu Changsheng said helplessly.

He has the Lu family tree and knows the safety of the children at home.

His son Lu Quanzhen is in good condition now.

But he is also a little curious about the situation of his children outside.

Want to know what the children are traveling for.

"I heard that some treasures can see the scene thousands of miles away, or some magical powers can sense the situation of close people through blood."

"If I can draw such a magic weapon, I can have more fun at home."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Suddenly it occurred to him that if he could draw such a magic weapon, it would be quite good.

In this way, not only do I not have to worry about my children going out, but my wife and concubines will also not worry.

Black Stone Market.

In Fang City, at the entrance of a quiet courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist Qu, please come in and talk in detail~"

A woman in her twenties, with a peach-shaped face and wearing a palace dress, looked at the young man in black robe in front of her and said softly.

She was wearing a bright red gauze skirt with a low bodice and a voluptuous figure. Her tall and proud snow-white skin seemed to be leaping out from the bodice. The skirt was slit on both sides, and her slender white legs were looming.

"Fairy Ruan, is this not good? We can just discuss the matter in the restaurant outside."

The young man in black robe had a look of hesitation on his face.

"What are you afraid of? Is it possible that fellow Daoist Qu is still afraid of my concubine? I won't be able to eat you."

The woman in the red dress had flashing eyes and chuckled, charmingly.

Then he stretched out a white and tender arm and took the initiative to hold the hand of the young man in black robe.

Her body is filled with a refreshing fragrance, which makes people feel uneasy.

The young man in black robe was startled, and subconsciously squeezed the soft, boneless palm with his hand.

Then the whole person subconsciously followed the woman into the small courtyard.

"You are young, but you like to have a sullen face on weekdays."

The woman held the black-robed young man's hand as if flirting, and said coquettishly.

"Fairy Ruan"

The young man in black robe seemed a little embarrassed, looking at the woman in front of him with an expression of obsession, and then raised his palm, as if he wanted to caress her cheek.

But the next moment.

"Pfft!"

A cold light flashed.

A dagger appeared in the hand of the young man in black robe.

This dagger does not have any spiritual power, it is pure martial arts power.

A blood mark was drawn directly on the neck of the woman in the red dress, and blood spattered.

"Uh uh uh"

The eyes of the woman in the red dress showed shock, fear, and disbelief.

Unexpectedly, the young man who had been obsessed with me under his charming spell just a moment ago would directly kill him.

Moreover, the pure martial arts power did not allow him to protect his master in time even with his body-protecting magic weapon.

The beauty fell to the ground with a 'pop', and the blood on her neck turned into a pool of blood.

"The other two fellow Taoists, come out."

Lu Quanzhen, who was dressed in black and brocade robes, had a tall and straight figure and narrow eyebrows, said in a deep voice.

"It seems that you are hiding quite deep. When did you realize something was wrong?"

Inside the house, a deep voice sounded.

I saw two men walking out of the house and looking at Lu Quanzhen coldly.

"I also want to ask, why are you so persistent in targeting me?"

Lu Quanzhen looked at the two of them, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"Half a year ago, you killed two of my brothers in the Black Cloud Mountains!"

"You are only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but you are able to kill two of my brothers, which means you must have a chance to keep the secret."

"So whether it's revenge for your brother or your chance secret, we can't let you go."

One of them, a short, thin, middle-aged man with dark skin, looked at Lu Quanzhen with murderous intent.

"Black Cloud Mountain Range, two brothers?"

Lu Quanzhen frowned slightly and immediately had an impression.

I remember that I was hunting monsters in the Black Cloud Mountains and met two robbery cultivators.

He continued to ask: "I dealt with these two people, and there was no one else around at the time. Why do you know?"

This was something he was very confused about.

Because he disposed of the body very cleanly at the time, he did not leave any traces.

"Because after you kill someone, you still have the subtle scent I prepared on you!"

Another tall, thin man spoke up.

"Secret fragrance?"

Lu Quanzhen was thoughtful.

He clearly remembered that after he killed the person, he cleaned up all the traces.

"You don't have to think about it. This secret fragrance is specially formulated for me and can only be smelled by spiritual beasts."

"Now can you tell me, when did you discover that we, Yu'er, had a problem?"

The tall and thin man asked Lu Quanzhen.

"It's very simple. Your motives for approaching me are too obvious and too deliberate."

Lu Quanzhen said calmly and indifferently: "It's just like now, you are waiting for me to be poisoned."

"What, you know we're using poison?"

When the two men heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.

Unexpectedly, Lu Quanzhen realized that the two of them were poisonous.

Under such circumstances, he still chatted with himself.

"No, this kid is using poison too!"

The short and thin man immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly closed his pores, took out the magic weapon, and wanted to take action.

However, at this moment.

"Stab it!"

A dark golden puppet appeared, turned into an afterimage, tore the air, set off a wave of air, and came to the two of them.

The dark golden dazzling sword in the puppet's hand was like thunder and lightning, fierce and domineering, slashing forward.

"No"

Facing this scene, the two men's eyes and pupils shrank, reflecting the cold dark gold sword, full of fear, powerlessness, regret, and despair.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The whole body protective gas mask and magic weapon automatically protect the main body.

But facing the puppet's sword, the air shield burst open like a bubble.

Accompanied by the sharp blade piercing the flesh and screams, blood flew from the sword and two heads rolled down.

"call!"

Lu Quanzhen let out a breath.

Looking at the two headless corpses, he murmured to himself: "With the treasures given by my father, this kind of experience still lacks some effect for me."

"Without this second-level puppet and the life-saving talisman my father gave me, even if I was 50% sure that these people had evil intentions towards me, I would not dare to do such a dangerous thing."

Lu Quanzhen muttered to himself.

Although he had acted decisively just now, he was not completely sure about the other party's situation, whether there were only three people.

But there is always a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but never a thousand days of guarding against thieves.

Since he realized that he was being malicious and had a 30% to 50% chance of success, he naturally chose to take the initiative to attack, take advantage of the situation, and eliminate the hidden danger.

Without thinking any more, Lu Quanzhen put away the storage bags of the three people, burned the bodies to ashes, and then entered the room to search, then changed his appearance and left the market.

Although the courtyard was covered by a formation, the outside world could not see the situation inside.

But he was not sure whether these people had accomplices, so he left as soon as possible.

Bihu Mountain.

Biyun Villa.

"Daoyou Lu, I am going back to the sect to retreat and impact the foundation, so I may not be able to come this year."

That day, Zhao Qingqing came to Bihu Mountain, inspected the situation of the spiritual medicine, and said to Lu Changsheng.

She was wearing a long green dress, with an elegant and beautiful face and a graceful and slender figure. Her temperament was somewhat similar to Lu Miaoyun, who had practiced the method of longevity in heaven and earth. She had a fresh smell of flourishing plants all over her body.

"Strike at foundation building?"

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has fellow Daoist Zhao prepared the foundation building pill?"

He knew that the other party had been preparing for foundation building long ago.

"Foundation building pills are hard to come by. With my current contribution to the sect, I can't exchange for foundation building pills at all, and I can't afford it."

Zhao Qingqing's face showed a bit of bitterness.

Nine years ago, she broke through the ninth level of Qi Refining and began to plan for foundation building.

But after so many years of hard work, she only managed to collect a pulse protection pill and two foundation building spiritual objects.

As for the foundation building pill, it was too difficult for her.

Even if she was expected to earn enough spirit stones and contributions before the age of sixty, she was not qualified to exchange for foundation building pills.

Because in Qingyun Sect, exchanging foundation building pills requires qualifications.

But she had offended her master in her early years, and not only was he unwilling to help, but he never even allocated her the important spiritual medicines in the medicine garden.

As a result, it was difficult for her to improve her spiritual plant skills and she could not make enough money to contribute to the sect.

"I just happen to have a foundation-building pill in my hand. If you need it, I can sell it to you."

Lu Changsheng pondered slightly.

He had refined three foundation-building pills before.

He gave one to Qingzhushan, leaving two.

In addition to one for Bai Ling, there is another one that cannot be used for the time being.

After all, Lu Miaoyun is the only one in the family who has reached the ninth level of Qi training.

But she is practicing the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, and pills are of no help to her practice, and she can't use the foundation-building pill.

In this case, it is better to sell this foundation-building pill to Zhao Qingqing.

The other party has a sixth-grade spiritual root and a plant body. If there is a foundation-building pill, there is a high probability that he can break through the foundation.

In this way, the two of them can be regarded as a good relationship.

"Foundation-building pill"

Zhao Qingqing trembled when she heard it, thinking that she had heard it wrong.

As a cultivator, she naturally wanted to break through the foundation.

She had thought countless times that she could get a foundation-building pill, so that she could break through the foundation-building stage and no longer have to look at the master's face.

But she knew very well.

It was too difficult to get a foundation-building pill by relying on her own ability.

So after saving up a pulse-protecting pill and two foundation-building spiritual objects, she was ready to attack the foundation.

Even if she failed, her age could barely support her to fight again.

But she never expected that at this moment, Lu Changsheng actually said that he could sell her a foundation-building pill!

"Thank you for your kindness, Daoyou Lu. Qingqing has already spent all her savings on this preparation, so the matter of the foundation-building pill can only be forgotten."

Zhao Qingqing sighed, with a bitter look on her face, and shook her head.

Although she was tempted, she had already spent all her savings on buying the pulse-protecting pill, two foundation-building spiritual objects, and the previous Sanyang pill.

Now if she wants to buy a foundation-building pill, she must continue to work hard for more than ten years before she has hope.

"That's not a big deal. Fellow Daoist Zhao doesn't have spirit stones now, so you can owe them first and repay them slowly in installments."

Lu Changsheng laughed and took out the foundation-building pill.

Although he has been practicing smoothly so far, he still knows the difficulty of ordinary cultivators to break through the foundation-building stage.

For ordinary cultivators, if they have good talents and practice wholeheartedly, it is not difficult to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

But at the ninth level of Qi Refining, it is the most difficult to seize the foundation-building pill and the foundation-building spiritual objects.

For people like Zhao Qingqing, who have a skill and can get many conveniences with the support of the sect, it is already very good.

For most casual cultivators, if they don't have the opportunity, it is basically impossible to get the opportunity to build a foundation except to do robbery cultivation, hunt monsters, and explore cave ruins to earn spirit stones.

In the end, they can only choose one or two foundation-building spiritual objects to risk their lives and fight for a future with little hope.

"Owe it and repay it slowly in installments"

Hearing this, Zhao Qingqing's beautiful eyes trembled, and her expression was slightly dazed.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Lu helping me like this?"

She looked at the handsome Lu Changsheng in front of her, and an idea came to her mind.

Three years ago, the cultivation of spiritual plants and spiritual medicines in Bihu Mountain had been stable, and she, a second-level spiritual plant master, did not need to do too much.

At that time, she resigned from Lu Changsheng and no longer served as a guest worshiper of Bihu Mountain.

But Lu Changsheng said that with her as a spiritual plant master, any unexpected situation could be solved.

When he was free, he could also help teach his wife, concubines and children about spiritual plants.

So he continued to ask her to serve as a guest worshiper at home.

Now, she was ready to attack the foundation, and Lu Changsheng not only expressed his willingness to sell the foundation pill to her, but also willing to let her owe it and repay it slowly.

It was fine before.

But how to explain it now?

This is a hard-to-find foundation-building pill, the one that countless Qi-refining cultivators dream of!

One pill is worth 20,000 spirit stones!

If I can break through the foundation-building stage, it will be fine, and I will be able to repay this foundation-building pill.

What if I fail to break through.

Zhao Qingqing is not stupid.

Although she has joined the immortal sect.

But over the years, she has also experienced a lot of things and knows the ups and downs of the world.

What is Lu Changsheng's intention in helping me like this?

Is he attracted by my ability or my beauty?

Although she knows that she has a good appearance, she is not stunning.

She is not even as beautiful as some of Lu Changsheng's wives and concubines.

With Lu Changsheng's current status and position, if he is willing to provide a foundation-building pill, I don't know how many stunning beauties will be willing to take the initiative.

But apart from this possibility, she really couldn't think of any other reason.

After all, Lu Changsheng had so many beautiful wives and concubines, and it seemed that he had never stopped taking concubines and maids.

"Thank you for your kindness, Daoyou Lu, but forget it. Qingqing really doesn't know how to repay such a favor."

Although Zhao Qingqing was very tempted by the foundation-building pill, she still shook her head and refused.

She had her own persistence.

If she had given up her principles for this foundation-building pill, she wouldn't have had to wait until now.

If she had agreed to the matchmaking of the master, she might have already broken through the foundation-building stage.

"As long as Daoyou Zhao breaks through the foundation-building stage, it will be easy for him to repay these in the future as a disciple of the immortal sect."

"Does Daoyou Zhao think that this foundation-building pill is too easy to come by and he doesn't feel a sense of accomplishment? Or is he worried that he will fail to break through and won't be able to pay it back then?"

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said with a bit of teasing in his tone.

He was not surprised by Zhao Qingqing's reply.

After all, although the relationship between the two was good, it was indeed not to the point where they could owe 20,000 spirit stones.

"Daoyou Lu"

Zhao Qingqing rolled her eyes at Lu Changsheng. What do you mean by no sense of achievement? Worried about not being able to pay back after a breakthrough failure.

But this is true.

She really felt that the foundation-building pill was too simple to obtain, and she owed too much favor.

When the breakthrough fails, it will be too difficult to repay.

"Daoyou Zhao, we have known each other for many years. Since I am willing to give you this foundation-building pill, I trust you."

"If you need it, take this foundation-building pill, don't worry too much psychological burden."

"If you are really worried about not being able to pay it back, then deduct it from the offering fee and work for me at Bihu Mountain for twenty years."

Lu Changsheng saw that Zhao Qingqing was struggling in his heart, and smiled calmly.

He gave this foundation-building pill, although he had some other ideas, but he did have some ideas of helping friends.

Zhao Qingqing's expression changed.

Knowing that if he missed this time, he might not have such an opportunity in the future.

In the end, she still couldn't resist the temptation of foundation building, and said softly: "In this case, thank you, Daoist Lu."

"Please rest assured, Daoist Lu, Qingqing will definitely repay this amount of spiritual stones and this favor as soon as possible!"

Zhao Qingqing took the porcelain bottle and said solemnly.

"Haha, I naturally trust Daoist Zhao."

Lu Changsheng smiled.

"This is a fine foundation building pill!"

Zhao Qingqing opened the porcelain bottle and took a look, and her face immediately showed doubt, surprise, and surprise.

You know, her psychological expectation was a genuine foundation building pill.

But at this time, Lu Changsheng actually took out a fine foundation building pill, which really gave her another surprise.

After all, this is about half the probability of building a foundation!

"Haha, that's right."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

"Qingqing really doesn't know how to repay Daoist Lu for this favor."

Zhao Qingqing looked at Lu Changsheng with a complicated mood, feeling that she really owed him a big favor.
