Chapter 726: Chapter 271: Xu Ruyin: This is my only chance in life!_3
Knowing that Lu Changsheng rose step by step from a son-in-law of the Lu Family, starting with Talisman Making, and became the famous Foundation Establishment Ancestor known throughout the region!
“Haha, we’re all family here, no need for formalities.”
Lu Changsheng, not one for pomp, waved his hand dismissively.
He then had Lu Miaoyun accompany the Fourth Elder for a chat while he taught a class for these disciples of the Lu Family.
“Changsheng, I appreciate your hard work.”
The Fourth Elder’s face was full of smiles upon hearing that Lu Changsheng would teach.
With his current status and identity, Lu Changsheng still showed such respect to his grandmother, which truly moved her beyond measure.
“Father-in-law, I have something to discuss with you and Uncle.”
The next morning, Lu Changsheng sought out Lu Yuanding, then they went to meet Lu Yuanzhong, ready to reveal the matter of the Foundation Establishment Elixir.
Afterward, the two made their way to Lu Yuanzhong’s cave abode.
Hearing that Lu Changsheng had something important, Lu Yuanzhong treated the matter with upmost seriousness and asked what it was.
Under their gaze, Lu Changsheng produced a White Jade Porcelain Vase.
Upon opening the vase, a wave of medicinal fragrance filled the air, revealing an elixir with a crystal clear hue and faintly laced with three silver stripes.
Both Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding, seeing the elixir in the porcelain vase, were visibly shaken, their eyes reflecting surprise, shock, and delight.
“Yes, this is a Foundation Establishment Elixir.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile, seeing their reactions.
“Changsheng, where did you get this Foundation Establishment Elixir from?”
“With three elixir stripes, this… this is a Supreme Foundation Establishment Elixir!”
Lu Yuanding and Lu Yuanzhong were immensely shocked; they never expected Lu Changsheng to actually possess a Foundation Establishment Elixir.
Although Lu Miaoge had briefly mentioned the Foundation Establishment of Lu Miaofeng and Lu Muping before.
They had indeed not considered the possibility of a Foundation Establishment Elixir.
“Obtained the materials from a Robber Cultivator and had it refined by someone.”
Lu Changsheng explained.
“Changsheng, you intend to use this Foundation Establishment Elixir for…”
Although they guessed what Lu Changsheng implied by showing them the elixir, they still found it somewhat unbelievable.
“Father-in-law, Uncle, as you know, Sister Miaoge and I practice a Dual Cultivation Technique; together our cultivation pace is much faster.”
“So I was thinking, if there is a new Foundation Establishment in the family, Sister Miaoge would be able to concentrate on her cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng spoke out.
“Changsheng, Foundation Establishment Elixirs are incredibly precious. I’m truly touched that you would offer it, but our family doesn’t feel we deserve such a gift. Just name a price, and we will gather the Spirit Stones as quickly as possible.”
Lu Yuanzhong took a deep breath and said.
He was keenly aware that the closer the two families were, the more important it was to be clear about interests, so as to prevent any rifts from forming.
Moreover, accepting someone’s generosity could put them under obligation; if they took too much advantage, it would not only lower their family’s status, but those married to Lu Changsheng, like Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan, and Lu Miaoyun, would be affected as well.
“Well, in that case, twenty thousand Spirit Stones.”
Lu Changsheng also did not insist and mentioned a price.
The usual price for a genuine Foundation Establishment Elixir was twenty thousand Spirit Stones.
However, if there was competition at an auction, the price could go up by a bit.
And for a Supreme Foundation Establishment Elixir, it could even reach thirty thousand Spirit Stones.
Lu Changsheng’s original intention was to give the elixir away.
But after chatting with Lu Miaoge, and now that Lu Yuanzhong had brought it up, it turned into a half-gift, half-sale.
“How could that be fair? A standard Foundation Establishment Elixir is worth at least twenty thousand Spirit Stones, and yours is a Supreme Foundation Establishment Elixir, worth at least thirty thousand Spirit Stones!”
“Our family cannot let you suffer a loss!”
Lu Yuanzhong immediately shook his head.
“Uncle, I’m quite aware of the current situation in the family; besides, Sister Miaoge contributed greatly in our fight against the Robber Cultivator. Moreover, there’s no rush for the Spirit Stones; you can owe them for now.”
Lu Changsheng spoke with a light-hearted smile.
He knew Qingzhu Mountain’s present circumstances; unless they sold off family assets, they couldn’t possibly produce twenty to thirty thousand Spirit Stones.
Lu Yuanding looked at his son-in-law, patting his shoulder firmly, his eyes reddening with profound gratitude.
Having once served as Patriarch of the Lu Family, his affection for the family ran deep, and his wish was to see Qingzhu Mountain thrive even more.
Now, with Lu Changsheng’s aid, not only had his daughter, Lu Miaoge, achieved Foundation Establishment, but his older brother’s injury was also healed.
Lu Changsheng even produced a supremely precious Foundation Establishment Elixir, willing to gift it or sell it to them for a low price, which left him at a loss for words.
He felt that the best thing he had ever done in his life was to bring Lu Changsheng into the Lu Family and to marry his daughter to him.
“Currently, our children are still young and don’t need this Foundation Establishment Elixir. Father-in-law, please accept it.
Just be prepared for a bit of effort once someone in the family breaks through Foundation Establishment.”
Lu Changsheng continued.
He had a bit of self-interest in offering the Foundation Establishment Elixir to Qingzhu Mountain, hoping Lu Miaoge would be at ease staying at Bi Lake Mountain.
“Changsheng, let’s do this; we’ll set the price at thirty thousand Spirit Stones, but owe the Spirit Stones for now.”
“Because currently, our family only has one Foundation Establishment Spirit Object, and we still need to procure two more suitable ones.”
Lu Yuanding took a deep breath and stated his decision.
With Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge already contributing to the steady rise of Qingzhu Mountain, if another member advanced to Foundation Establishment, the family’s future for a hundred years would be worry-free and prospering, naturally leading to a significant increase in income.
So, paying back these Spirit Stones later would be much easier.
Lu Changsheng, hearing this, did not persist.
If Qingzhu Mountain really couldn’t make ends meet, he could let Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan provide some guidance later on.
“Changsheng, currently only Miaofeng and Muping have the potential for Foundation Establishment in our family. Who do you think is suitable?”
