Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Visiting the Ye Family (Second Release, Please Subscribe)
Time was passing, and the Lu Family was steadily developing.
In the Beast Tide, some cultivation clans were destroyed, leaving behind a large amount of wealth.
The Lu Family, along with some nearby clans, divided these assets, expanding the family business, increasing the size of their territory, and adding to the number of mines and spirit fields.
After experiencing the tumult, the Lu Family also returned to peace.
It was as if a satiated beast began to lie down, digesting its food.
Before completely digesting the food, the Lu Family lost its desire to attack.
Not only the Lu Family, but the Ye Family, Sun Family, Qian Family, and many other cultivation clans also stayed well-behaved, like obedient children.
They were licking their wounds, digesting the profits of war.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner: planting Spirit Rice, cultivating Spirit Medicine, rearing Spirit Beasts, nurturing Spirit Fruits, opening shops, etc.
In the blink of an eye, another ten years had passed!
In the Cave Mansion, Lu Xuanji let out a light breath, his bones crackling, and his body emitted a faint terrifying aura, which then retracted, reverting to normal.
Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.
After ten years of arduous cultivation, he had stepped into the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.
In fact, he could have reached this point three years ago.
However, subconsciously, he slowed down his cultivation speed, using the Pure Yang True Flame to temper his True Essence, purifying it;
At the same time, using the Pure Yang True Flame, he refined his bones, muscles, meridians, five viscera and six viscera, Sea of Consciousness, Dantian, etc., round after round, increasing the purity of True Essence, purifying his body, and enhancing the strength of his physical body, bolstering the essence of his life.
For the first time, Lu Xuanji experienced the power of the Pure Yang Dao Body.
The Innate Dao Embryo allows a cultivator to stay close to the Great Dao, to remain in a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, eternally in a state of Enlightenment Dao, with incredibly terrifying comprehension abilities; it also continuously absorbs external Spiritual Qi, greatly boosting cultivation speed. It is an extremely terrifying constitution.
The Pure Yang Dao Body’s advantage lies in its ability to use the Pure Yang True Flame to repeatedly purify the body and True Essence, far surpassing ordinary cultivators; simultaneously using the Pure Yang True Flame, round after round, to refine the body, constantly strengthening it.
With the Pure Yang True Flame refining the body, the Elixir Poison within was almost entirely purged, making the body incomparably pure.
Lu Xuanji felt that his confidence in stepping into the Purple Mansion Realm had increased significantly.
On the path of cultivation, relying solely on absorbing Spiritual Qi is nearly impossible to achieve accomplishments.
In various Minor Realms and Great Realms, one needs to consume a large number of Elixirs to speed up cultivation and break through some cultivation bottlenecks.
Without taking pills, one cannot cultivate immortality.
Every cultivator is a pill enthusiast, having consumed vast amounts of Elixirs.
However, consuming too many elixirs causes Elixir Poison to seep into the bone marrow, pervading the entire body, not only affecting the physical body, making breakthroughs at major bottlenecks more difficult; at the same time, these Elixir Poisons also affect the cultivator’s potential, undermining future potential.
This has almost become a paradox.
Without taking pills, one cannot become strong;
However, taking too many pills hinders progress.
Before Foundation Establishment, Lu Xuanji took fewer pills; after Foundation Establishment, to speed up future progress, by consuming Spirit Medicine, Spirit Pills, etc., his body also accumulated Elixir Poison.
But in terms of quantity, it’s much less than similar cultivators.
After being purified by the Pure Yang True Flame, the Elixir Poison was expelled from his body, making it purer.
Even just this point, added another layer of probability to breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm.
...
"Congratulations on stepping into the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer!"
In the Cave Mansion, the Grand Elder offered his congratulations.
"In a daze, I am already one hundred and twenty-five years old, and there aren’t many same-generation cultivators, nor are there many familiar clansmen!" Lu Xuanji sighed, "In the clan, many cultivators are my juniors. They respect me greatly, but lack closeness!"
"Cultivators must learn to savor solitude and enjoy loneliness!"
The Grand Elder said, "It’s been almost thirty years, your Dao companion Ye Linglong is about to exit her seclusion, by then she’ll become a Purple Mansion Great Cultivator, overshadowing you again!"
"No matter, at worst I’ll just let her ride on my back!"
Lu Xuanji smiled faintly.
"She’s about to exit seclusion, you should also go see her." The Grand Elder said, "Visit the Ye Family often, familiarity breeds closeness. Continued secluded cultivation is detrimental to your mental realm, go out and accompany her more. She’s your Dao companion, who will accompany you for centuries in the future!"
"Understood!"
Lu Xuanji nodded.
Dao companions are even more important than mortal couples.
Mortal couples can separate.
But between Dao companions, there’s no talk of separation, only life or death.
"Take these things!"
The Grand Elder instructed, handing over a bag.
Inside the bag, there were more than thirty thousand Spirit Stones.
In recent years, the Lu Family has been doing well, accumulating a surplus of Spirit Stones.
Lu Xuanji accepted it, casually placing it into his Storage Bag.
He also placed Jade Emperor Rice, Jade Emperor Pill, Jade Scrolls, etc., into the Storage Bag, carrying the Heaven Mending Cauldron, Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, Li Fire Sword, and also a Golden Token, donning a cloak for disguise, blending into the crowd, and left quietly.
Before leaving, he subconsciously opened Baidu Map.
After walking a distance, he felt a shadow following.
It was Long Xuan.
As the Guardian, Long Xuan was very dedicated.
Baidu Map was only opened for a short while, before being closed.
Activating Baidu Map consumed his True Essence and Spiritual Power, it couldn’t stay on for long, his body couldn’t sustain it.
After walking for three days, he arrived at the entrance of the Ye Family.
Cang Mountain, still ancient and profound.
On the mountain, terrifying arrays were operating, endlessly, capable of even neutralizing Purple Mansion cultivators.
Two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were guarding the entrance.
Lu Xuanji arrived at the entrance, taking out his Token.
The guards automatically let him pass.
Lu Xuanji entered Cang Mountain, taking off his cloak after entering.
"So it’s Daoist Lu!"
At that moment, a blue-clothed man approached, saying, "You must be the Lu Family’s prodigy, Lu Xuanji!"
"Indeed!"
Lu Xuanji replied, "Thirty years have passed, Linglong is about to enter the Purple Mansion Realm, I have come to celebrate in advance!"
"Dao friend, please come this way, have a seat in the guest lounge!"
The blue-clothed man said, "My name is Ye Beiyu, the Guest Elder, responsible for receiving guests. Here is my Token!"
He took out his Token, proving his identity.
Under his guidance, they arrived at the guest lounge, where tea and Spirit Fruits were served; the hospitality was both polite and thorough.
