Chapter 271: Chapter 270: Lu Xuanji Teaches His Son (First Update, Please Subscribe)
The Creation Fruit Tree has a grade of only Second Grade.
The Second Grade Creation Fruit is useless to him.
To be useful to him, it needs to be at least Fourth Grade.
But for the Creation Fruit Tree to grow to Fourth Grade, even with all conditions met, it would still take three hundred years.
By then, he would have either proven his Dao into the Golden Core or turned to dust, and would not need a Fourth Grade Creation Fruit Tree.
"The growth rate of spirit trees is too slow. Only when ancestors plant the trees, after thousands or tens of thousands of years, can descendants enjoy the fruits—the fruits I will not enjoy!" Lu Xuanji sighed.
Very often, cultivators plant spirit medicines and spirit trees and do not enjoy the benefits themselves, but the descendants will.
In the early years, the Lu family ancestor Lu Changsheng, after entering Foundation Establishment, took three female cultivators as wives and founded the Lu family.
This ancestor of the Lu family planted Jade Marrow Lingzhi in the medicine garden. Lacking a high-level spirit plant master to hasten its maturity, it grew naturally, and by the time the ancestor passed away, the Jade Marrow Lingzhi had not yet matured.
Descendants continued to care for it, and it finally matured three hundred years later.
Harvesting three Jade Marrow Lingzhi, the Lu family alchemist refined seven Foundation Establishment Pills, cultivating three Foundation Establishment cultivators for the family.
Only then did the Lu family have a stable Foundation Establishment Pill material, leading to a stable source of Foundation Establishment Pills, making Foundation Establishment no longer reliant on luck but with a degree of reliability and probability.
Similarly, many cultivation clans plant spirit trees, attend to them yearly, continuously fertilizing them, yet it often requires two or three thousand years, exhausting several generations of effort, to wait for the spirit trees to mature. Often, ancestors laboriously plant the trees, unable to enjoy the fruits, leaving only the descendants to enjoy them.
After circling the medicine garden, Lu Xuanji returned to the cave mansion.
Taking out a token, he summoned the second child.
About half a day later, Lu Fan appeared in the cave mansion and knelt respectfully, kowtowing, "Child, greets father!"
"At the fifth layer of Qi Refining, his speed is neither fast nor slow, averaging one layer every five years!" Lu Xuanji commented.
"Thanks to father, for upgrading my spirit root grade, achieving the five-element balance, I have reached this point!"
Lu Fan said.
"Rise."
Lu Xuanji said.
Lu Fan stood up, respectfully stood aside.
At this moment, Lu Xuanji carefully observed this son. They had not met for fifteen years; the son’s appearance had not changed much, but his demeanor was more mature, with a slight confidence.
According to the current cultivation speed, there is hope for reaching the ninth layer of Qi Refining before the age of seventy; Foundation Establishment seems hopeful.
Yet thinking of Lu Fan’s inferior qualification, at least five Foundation Establishment Pills need to be prepared, no, at least ten Foundation Establishment Pills.
"Remember to remind father at the time of Foundation Establishment, I will prepare the Foundation Establishment Pills for you!"
Lu Xuanji said.
"Child thanks father!"
Lu Fan said.
"I have obtained a cultivation technique that can refine demon blood, enhance bloodline potential, and improve physical qualifications... As for its effectiveness, that depends on your fortune!" Lu Xuanji said, passing on a cultivation technique named "Dragon Transformation Technique" with a touch of his finger.
Comprehending the mysteries of the "Nine Transformations of Fish and Dragon," Lu Xuanji extracted many secrets from various cultivation techniques, using a mobile phone to deduce and create the Dragon Transformation Technique.
As for its grade, it is relatively low, merely suitable for Qi Cultivation Cultivators, but can excavate and enhance its potential.
This is also the first time he has deduced a cultivation technique for the family’s cultivators.
Ye Feixue’s qualifications are excellent and do not need it.
Ye Wanyi’s qualifications are relatively poor but still do not need it.
The eldest son Ye Immortal has good qualifications and does not need it either.
Only this son, Lu Fan, with poor qualifications, ordinary comprehension, and mediocre luck, requires assistance.
"Thank you, father!"
Lu Fan expressed gratitude.
"This is the essence blood of a Purple Mansion Peacock, the will inside it has been thoroughly refined by me, pure and spotless, it can help you improve your constitution, and even further enhance your spirit root grade and cultivation speed!" Lu Xuanji said, taking out a jade bottle.
"Child thanks father!"
Lu Fan said movingly.
The world of cultivating immortality is inherently emotionally indifferent.
The son with good qualifications focuses on cultivation to strengthen the clan; the son with poor qualifications reproduces to proliferate the clan.
Initially, the mother intended for all to reproduce and proliferate the clan descendants.
Only the father did not give up on him.
"Do not exhibit the demeanor of a small woman. I cannot assist you much; at most, I help you prove your Dao into the Golden Core. The path beyond the Golden Core, you must walk it yourself!" Lu Xuanji said.
Lu Fan said no more, sitting upright there, beginning to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Technique while refining the peacock bloodline.
Humans have the five spirit roots, representing the five elements.
While the demon race has peacocks, five elements qilins, etc., who also wield the five elements.
Cultivators with five spirit roots are not inherently incapable of cultivation, but the initial resources consumed and time needed are significant, unbearable for most cultivators.
Many cultivators with five spirit roots do not grow because they pass away mid-way.
But the peacock lineage, five elements qilins, etc., are all long-lived species of the demon race, their lifespan is five or even ten times that of humans; even with slower cultivation speeds, it’s not much of a problem.
But humans are short-lived species, if the cultivation speed is a bit slower, they will exhaust their life and die.
...
Time flows on.
Midway, due to a conflict between human blood and peacock demon blood, Lu Fan experienced several instances of qi deviation.
His body exploded several times, but was forcibly saved by Lu Xuanji.
Later, as the bloodline conflict eased, Lu Fan turned into a half-human, half-demon state.
Lu Xuanji directly threw his son into the Heaven Mending Cauldron, refining him like alchemy.
Approximately five years later, the half-human, half-demon state dissipated. Lu Fan had fully assimilated the peacock demon blood, and his body seemed as solid as a magical treasure, his physique significantly enhanced.
Running the technique, the spiritual qi absorption rate was faster, comparable to "Inferior Grade Dual Spirit Roots."
His body shone with a resplendent five-colored light.
"Thank you father, child has forged the Five Elements Treasure Body!"
Lu Fan said joyfully.
"The Five Elements Treasure Body is ultimately not as good as the Five Elements Dao Body. If in the future you can evolve into the Five Elements Dao Body, the future is infinite!" Lu Xuanji said.
In the Cultivation Realm, there are special constitutions, ranked by grades, namely, Spirit Body, Treasure Body, Dao Body, and Immortal Body, etc.
The Spirit Body is naturally close to spiritual qi, absorbing spiritual qi faster than ordinary cultivators, with its advantage lasting until the Purple Mansion.
Even a Mortal Body cultivator, when they reach the Purple Mansion Realm, opens all their acupoints and meridians; after undergoing wind and fire tribulations, they will undoubtedly transform into a Spirit Body.
The Treasure Body is physically strong, akin to a magical treasure, with super combat power and a potential ceiling at the Golden Core.
Mortal Body cultivators, when reaching the Golden Core, all condense a type of Treasure Body.
The Dao Body is innately close to the Great Dao, with naturally formed Dao patterns within the body, making it easier to touch the Great Dao. Its potential ceiling is Harmonization.
Even Mortal Body cultivators, once they enter the Harmonization Realm and merge with the Great Dao, will form Dao patterns inside and transform into a supreme Dao Body.
As for the Immortal Body, its limit is the Immortal.
Consider this, which of those cultivators who achieve immortality does not possess an Immortal Body?
Mortal Body, Spirit Body, Treasure Body, Dao Body, Immortal Body, etc., describe innate physique differences and are also the directions of physical evolution.
Some are on the road to Rome, others are halfway to Rome, and some have reached Rome.
This illustrates the characteristics of physique; is physique important? Not at all. Once you become an Immortal, you will inevitably have an Immortal Body; however, physique is also significant. The probability of a Mortal Body becoming immortal is low, but if one has a Dao Body or an Immortal Body, the probability of becoming immortal is correspondingly enhanced.
