After consoling his delicate wife, Lu Changsheng then went to Lake Heart Island to begin alchemy.
At the same time.
Within a closed-door cultivation chamber.
“The effect of this Purple Mansion Elixir…”
Lu Quanzhen opened his eyes and let out a long breath, his eyes filled with shock.
He knew that the bottle of Purple Mansion Elixir his father gave him was extraordinary.
But he hadn’t expected its effect to be so astounding!
If it weren’t for his physical body and soul being different from ordinary people, along with the Soul Nurturing Jade, he would feel somewhat unable to withstand this medicine’s power.
However, under the scorching power of the Purple Mansion Elixir, both his physical body and soul had significantly improved.
Especially his Divine Sense!
He found that his Divine Sense had almost doubled!
Such an improvement could truly be called terrifying!
He knew that the bottle of Purple Mansion Elixir had a total of ten pills, and he had only taken one!
“Sigh…”
Lu Quanzhen thought of the Dragon Scale Fruit, Five Elements Fruit, and Heaven-replenishing Elixir that his uncle had given him.
Now that he had just made a breakthrough in Foundation Establishment, his father had given him such precious elixir medicines.
He felt that his own efforts were simply nothing in front of these treasures.
However, he was not an old-fashioned man and wouldn’t feel like he was being wasteful or squandering heavenly resources.
Instead, he would work even harder, to prove that he was worthy of these gifts and not let down his uncle and father’s expectations!
After his condition inside had more or less stabilized, Lu Quanzhen took another Purple Mansion Elixir and began refinement!
…
One month later.
The simple and spacious alchemy room.
“Whoooosh…”
Lu Changsheng watched the Ziyun Dan Furnace in front of him with focused concentration, his hands continuously performing Gesture Incantations to control the Earth Fire.
Next to him, the clear and elegant Li Xingruo, wearing a light yellow dress, watched Lu Changsheng refine pills, her eyes filled with intense focus.
Even just observing the process of making Foundation Establishment Elixirs was enormously helpful to her, and she gained a lot from it.
Time ticked away, and it was unknown how long had passed.
Li Xingruo saw the Spiritual Mechanism lingering within the pill furnace and threads of fragrant aroma wafting about. She immediately held her breath and focused, looking towards Lu Changsheng.
She saw Lu Changsheng’s hands continuously performing Gesture Incantations, sending one spell after another into the pill furnace, then he loudly declared, “Open!”
“Buzz!”
Instantly, the lid of the furnace forcefully opened, a burst of heat surged forth, and a brilliant glow spread all around.
“How is the pill formation?”
Li Xingruo looked towards the pill furnace, her face showing a bit of nervousness.
Although she knew Lu Changsheng’s alchemy skills were high, being a Second-tier Top Level Alchemist,
for rare elixir medicines like Foundation Establishment Elixirs, aside from the Four Great Immortal Sects, Danxia Mountain, or the alchemists seated in the Three Great Immortal Cities, hardly anyone could become familiar with the process.
“Collect.”
Lu Changsheng drew three Foundation Establishment Elixirs from the mist of heat into his hand.
“Hehe, not bad, this time there are two top-grade and one top-quality one.”
Looking at the three Foundation Establishment Elixirs in his palm, shiny and full, moist and fragrant, Lu Changsheng said cheerfully.
“Three pills formed, and what’s more, two top-grade Foundation Establishment Elixirs and one top-quality one!”
Li Xingruo, who was beside him, cried out in amazement, her clear beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration and adoration.
As a Second-Order Alchemist, she was well aware of how significant it was to have three pills formed, including two top-grade Foundation Establishment Elixirs and one top-quality one.
Perhaps even the alchemists of the Four Great Immortal Sects couldn’t guarantee to refine Foundation Establishment Elixirs to such an extent!
“Xingruo, keep this Foundation Establishment Elixir for yourself, and focus on Foundation Establishment in the coming time, striving to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.”
Lu Changsheng handed a top-grade Foundation Establishment Elixir to Li Xingruo.
She had long had the cultivation level of Ninth Level Energy Refinement.
But without a Foundation Establishment Elixir, she did not dare attempt Foundation Establishment.
After all, Foundation Establishment was a risky business.
It wasn’t a guaranteed success just because one had the elixir.
Therefore, some people, even if they had the means, wouldn’t take the risk.
“My husband…”
Li Xingruo was startled, filled with emotion.
Although she guessed that Lu Changsheng would give her a Foundation Establishment Elixir,
she still couldn’t quite believe it when she saw the pill before her.
“Keep it, no need to be courteous with your husband.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and then inquired if she had any confusion or misunderstanding about the alchemy process she had just observed.
Previously, Lu Changsheng dared to split his focus and make talismans during the alchemy process, refining pills while guiding Li Xingruo.
But Foundation Establishment Elixir was difficult to refine, and he couldn’t dare to distract himself too much, fearing that he would ruin the precious process.
“My husband…”
Li Xingruo promptly spoke up, expressing the doubts and questions she had while observing the alchemy process, which Lu Changsheng answered one by one.
After resolving Li Xingruo’s questions, Lu Changsheng went to the Lu Family Mansion to hand a Foundation Establishment Elixir to Xia Zhiyue.
He encouraged her to cultivate well in the coming time and establish her foundation as soon as possible.
“My husband…”
Xia Zhiyue looked at the Foundation Establishment Elixir, feeling as if she were in a dream.
It was known that her brother, with a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, was a Qingyun Sect disciple who had already cultivated to the Ninth Level Energy Refinement.
But for many years, he had been striving for a Foundation Establishment Elixir.
To this date, he hadn’t even gathered enough contribution points for one.
And she, having married Lu Changsheng as a concubine, had done nothing but bear four children for Lu Changsheng in these thirty years, aside from learning a textile skill to make vestment robes for the family’s children, barely making any contributions.
But now, Lu Changsheng was actually giving such an invaluable Foundation Establishment Elixir to her, so she could attempt Foundation Establishment!
“Practice well and strive for an early foundation establishment.”
Lu Changsheng gently stroked her hair and spoke softly.
His early years of affection for Xia Zhiyue were simply due to his desire for her body.
But after so many years of being together, their feelings had deepened, and with four children, their bond had grown strong.
Moreover, throughout the thirty years, except for the occasional allowance that Xia Zhiyue would send her brother, Xia Zhaoyang, there had been no other issues.
And Xia Zhaoyang, this younger brother-in-law was quite good too, he hadn’t caused any trouble, and had even helped look after the Qingyun Sect children. Lu Changsheng didn’t mind these small acts.
