White clothes like snow, aura like a sword.
Long Xuan descended upon Changyuan Mountain and spoke with congratulations.
The Grand Elder was puzzled by the aning.
Long Xuan directly asked, "Fellow cultivator, how many chances do you have to beco a Purple Mansion?"
"Two chances, or even less!"
The Grand Elder pondered for a while and finally spoke.
Long Xuan said, "Fellow cultivator’s aptitude is limited. Even after twenty years of honing, passing the fourth tribulation; without Purple Sun Jade, it’s difficult to pass the Soul Tribulation; without Nirvana Pill, how can you pass the Celestial Fire Tribulation and the Nightmare Wind Tribulation? Now, destiny smiles upon you. My ancestor occupies Purple Sun Mountain and owes you 1.2 million spirit stones."
"Now, we can provide you with two pieces of Purple Sun Jade, open the Nirvana Pool, and lend you a helping hand. At this mont, fellow cultivator should head to Purple Sun Mountain."
The Grand Elder was overjoyed and said, "Senior, please wait a mont! I will arrange a few things at ho and follow you to Purple Sun Mountain shortly!"
"Hurry and return quickly!"
Long Xuan replied.
Upon reaching the living room, the Grand Elder called for Lu Xuanji.
After giving so instructions, he followed Long Xuan to Purple Sun Mountain.
Breaking through to the Purple Mansion might take as little as three to five years, or as long as over ten years.
Family matters also began to be entrusted to him.
Just like that, Lu Xuanji beca the clan leader.
In fact, there were no significant matters to handle.
At this ti, the Lu Family had over three hundred cultivators. The clan’s activities consisted mainly of planting spirit rice, growing spirit dicines, mining so ores, teaching and giving lectures, all of which resembled a self-sufficient manor economy. The surplus of spirit rice, elixirs, and talismans were sent to the market’s shops to sell for money, to supplent the family.
Making money was certainly good, but not making money had little impact.
...
In the spiritual fields, ten acres of spirit dicine were being planted.
A gentle breeze blew, causing the spirit dicine to sway, emitting bursts of dicinal fragrance.
Forming a seal technique, he activated the small Spirit Rain Skill, and imdiately the spiritual Qi in the sky gathered, transforming into raindrops that scattered into the spiritual fields.
The spiritual rain penetrated the soil, quickly integrating into the earth, nourishing the root systems of the spirit dicine.
Again, he activated the Fireball Technique, transforming into small balls rolling on the ground, weeding and clearing pests around the spirit dicine.
After a long ti, Lu Xuanji finished the work, sighing with relief.
Upon reaching the Foundation Establishnt Stage, he still had to farm.
Only the crops had changed from the previous White Sun Rice and low-level spirit redies to Jade Emperor Rice, Jade Marrow Lingzhi, Celestial Spirit Grass, Seven-Star Grass, Nine Bends Spirit Ginseng, and other high-level spirit redies.
The farming area had also decreased from a hundred acres to thirty acres.
Cultivators also have to eat, and the primary grain here is White Sun Rice and White Sun Pill.
Therefore, when cultivators embark on the cultivation path, their first task is to learn farming, to learn planting White Sun Rice, and to learn refining White Sun Pill. Whether planting White Sun Rice or refining White Sun Pill, neither is particularly difficult; as long as one isn’t utterly inept, with a few more practices, one can learn it.
Upon reaching the Foundation Establishnt, Lu Xuanji still had to farm.
Spirit rice changed from White Sun Rice to Jade Emperor Rice.
White Sun Rice is beneficial to Qi Cultivation cultivators, but of little use to Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
Only Jade Emperor Rice is beneficial to cultivators.
Eating Jade Emperor Rice regularly can increase cultivation speed by more than one layer, which is greatly beneficial to cultivators.
In ten acres of spiritual fields, Jade Emperor Rice is being planted.
Originally, it would take a hundred years to reach the peak of Foundation Establishnt, but by consuming Jade Emperor Rice daily, it only takes ninety years, or even less.
The remaining ten acres mainly cultivate other high-level spirit dicines. So are the primary materials for Foundation Establishnt Pills, while so are ingredients for other second-grade elixirs, greatly beneficial to Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
High-level spirit dicines are difficult to cultivate and take care of, which only second-grade Spirit Plant Cultivators can successfully grow and nurture.
In those years, the Lu Family had a second-grade Spirit Plant Cultivator, who planted large quantities of second-grade spirit dicines, allowing the family to be self-sufficient in so materials for Foundation Establishnt Pill.
The Lu Family did not need to purchase Foundation Establishnt Pill from outside, instead they directly refined it themselves, supplying it to their own cultivators, self-sufficient, saving a considerable amount of money annually.
The surplus of Foundation Establishnt Pills could also be sold externally, increasing the family’s inco.
However, during the battle at Purple Sun Mountain, the Lu Family’s second-grade Alchemist fell, and so did the second-grade Spirit Plant Cultivator.
Upon reaching Changyuan Mountain, the Lu Family could only purchase Foundation Establishnt Pills externally, which was costly and often unavailable.
For the Lu Family, the Grand Elder is a second-grade Alchemist, and his father is also a second-grade Alchemist; both can refine second-grade elixirs, the only difference being the success rate of the pills.
The difficulty lies in the lack of second-grade spirit dicines.
Many families only sell spirit pills and not spirit dicines.
Due to the lack of second-grade spirit dicines, Grand Elder and father, as second-grade Alchemists, often have downti.
Not long ago, when the Spring Wind Wood Spirit Art reached Great Success, Lu Xuanji beca a second-grade Spirit Plant Cultivator.
Planting thirty acres was optimal.
Thirty acres could et the family’s consumption; anwhile, it wouldn’t take too much ti, affecting the improvent of cultivation.
Planting spirit dicines, although important, cultivation is still more important.
...
After taking care of the spirit dicines, Lu Xuanji activated an array for shielding.
He also let a family cultivator take care of the spiritual fields.
Then, he walked back to the Cave Mansion.
In the center of the Cave Mansion, there was a Great Cauldron, nad Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron.
Inside the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, talismans surged, rising and falling, inducing spiritual Qi vortexes, channels of spiritual Qi entering the great cauldron, transforming into green spiritual liquid.
Spiritual Qi has no attributes, but once absorbed by the cultivator’s body, due to the spirit root attribute, it is transford into different attributes.
In the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, a foot-tall green liquid had accumulated.
His right hand turned into a suction force, imdiately drawing a stream of spiritual liquid into his belly, gulping down several mouthfuls, he operated the Cyan Lotus Creation Technique to refine the spiritual liquid, which transford into a gentle power, soft and easy to absorb, quickly being refined.
His cultivation steadily increased.
Approximately three hours later, Lu Xuanji felt the dantian expanding, and his ridians aching, before stopping cultivation.
"The cultivation speed is still too slow!"
"Based on the Three Spirit Roots’ aptitude, after Foundation Establishnt, it takes thirty years to advance one layer, which is why Ancestor Jin said, that before I sit in ditation, I’ll at most reach the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishnt, which aligns with reality. However, I have Destiny Calculation to deduce cultivation techniques that match , which speeds up considerably, saving five years; I have the Heaven nding Cauldron to refine true essence, saving another five years; with the spiritual liquid from the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, another five years can be saved. Eating a bowl of Jade Emperor Rice daily, I can save an additional three years."
"By this calculation, it only takes twelve years to advance one layer... this seems to be my limit!"
Lu Xuanji sighed slightly.
Reaching twelve years was the limit.
Is this speed slow?
Not at all.
Many Dual Spirit Root cultivators have this speed.
Yet compared to that person, it was far slower.
"Xiaoxue, are you doing well out there?"
"Are you eating enough, keeping warm?"
"Are you encountering danger out there? Are you safe now?"
...
