"Father is injured. Who attacked him?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"There are so suspicions, but it’s uncertain! This ti your father and Sixth Aunt went out to buy a Foundation Establishnt Pill for you, but many market places said they were out of stock. So said they would give one in ten years, others said in twenty years." The Grand Elder said, "On the way, your father and Sixth Aunt encountered a robbery by a rogue cultivator. I had prepared a Talisman Treasure for your father, which could severely injure a later-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivator. Yet that person still managed to injure your father and robbed over twenty thousand Spirit Stones before disappearing."
"There are forces hostile to and oppressing our Lu Family. Not only is your Foundation Establishnt Pill gone, but two Foundation Establishnt Cultivators of the clan are also severely injured and need ten years to recover fully, requiring over a thousand Spirit Stones to buy elixirs for healing."
"To injure severely but not kill, that person is truly skilled."
The Grand Elder’s eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.
"Grand Elder, is there so sort of angle to this?" Lu Xuanji humbly inquired.
The Grand Elder said, "Back then, the ancestor answered the call of the Dan Yang Sect, went to Tieling Pass to resist the demon beast invasion, and was injured in battle, leading to early death, which drew the attack of Old Ancestor Yanyang. As a result, the Dan Yang Sect was slow to rescue, causing great losses to the Lu Family, nearly leading to extermination. The Dan Yang Sect owes the Lu Family a favor."
"Now, our Lu Family cultivators are killed by rogue cultivators. The Dan Yang Sect, concerned about its reputation, will undoubtedly exert great effort to find the rogue cultivators. No matter how cleverly the rogue cultivators hide, how can they withstand an investigation by the Dan Yang Sect? They will surely be exposed and face either a manhunt or fleeing from Chu Country!"
"But rely injuring two of our Lu Family Foundation Establishnt, without killing, makes it hard for to leverage this favor."
The Grand Elder was full of lant.
That rogue cultivator gauged the Lu Family all too accurately.
Injured but not dead, seemingly rciful, yet causing the greatest harm.
Just like on the battlefield, a wounded soldier can be a greater burden than a fallen one. Can you just leave the wounded behind?
No, because that would shake the morale.
Similarly, if they directly killed two Lu Family Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, it would anger the Lu Family, and under the Lu Family’s counterattack, those opposing forces would also suffer heavy losses.
But rely injuring them, needing ten years to recover, doesn’t make it worth the cost of the favor for the Lu Family.
Also, within these ten years, the two injured will be incapable of contributing to the clan; instead, the clan has to provide them with Spirit dicine, Spirit Pills for recovery, spending a great deal of Spirit Stones.
In the rise and fall, the Lu Family suffers greatly, being oppressed invisibly.
...
Returning to the cave mansion, he saw his father.
His father was recuperating, and Lu Xuanji approached and spoke a few words with him before leaving.
Returning to the entrance of the cave mansion, he happened to et Ye Feixue.
"Brother, I’m here for everything."
Ye Feixue said.
Instinctively, she stepped forward to hug Lu Xuanji, comforting him.
Lu Xuanji did not refuse, holding Ye Feixue, muttering, "Father and Sixth Aunt went to buy a Foundation Establishnt Pill for but were severely injured just like that. Fortunately, there’s no life danger. When the wall falls, everyone pushes. A broken drum is beaten by many. They all want to wipe us out, want to see our Lu Family collapse before going further by gnawing on our family’s corpse. But I just won’t let them have their way, just won’t let them rest easy. I not only want to live but to live until the Purple Mansion, to live until the Golden Core."
"Brother, I believe in you."
Ye Feixue said firmly.
"Xiaoxue, if things beco unmanageable, you can leave alone." Lu Xuanji said, "The current situation is very unfavorable for us. Soone is targeting the Lu Family. They might not be able to wipe us out directly but will set traps, use all kinds of sinister ans to keep consuming the strength of the Lu Family."
"Brother, I’m here for everything."
Ye Feixue said, "If Brother dies, I won’t live on either."
"Silly girl, what are you talking about." Lu Xuanji said, "Here, take this."
He retrieved so books from his Storage Bag and handed them to Ye Feixue.
These books numbered dozens, containing various volus of Cultivation Techniques, as well as books on Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talisman Making, Arrays, Spirit Plants, Puppet, and others.
Companions, Wealth, thods, and Land, the four essentials of cultivating immortality.
As the Lu Family declined, they no longer had pri Spiritual Mountains, nor much Wealth and Spirit Stones; even the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators were three old folks, with only a collection of one hundred thousand books, stored in the mobile phone.
From these one hundred thousand books, they were filtered, selecting several dozen to give to Ye Feixue.
...
After bidding farewell to Ye Feixue, he entered the cave mansion.
Lu Xuanji closed the cave mansion to start refining True Qi, and after refining for a month, he planned to rush to the Foundation Establishnt Realm.
No longer longing for the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Nor planning to continue waiting.
The Ye Family and Wu Family both said they would give one Foundation Establishnt Pill to the Lu Family in ten years, but who knows if there will be changes then.
Now is the ti to pursue Foundation Establishnt Stage. There is no need to wait.
Many Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivators, lacking a Foundation Establishnt Pill and unable to advance in cultivation, only continuously refine True Qi, Magic, and Combat Techniques, reaching consummate mastery in Combat Techniques, with extrely sharp intuition for battle opportunities.
This is the pinnacle of the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
The gap between the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation and the pinnacle lies in Combat Techniques.
But often, the pinnacle of the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation is quite awkward.
No matter how advanced its Combat Techniques might be, it would still be easily defeated if encountered by a first-layer Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
Because after entering the Foundation Establishnt Stage, the body undergoes Washing Marrow and Shaving Hair, greatly enhancing physique; the Dantian’s capacity expands to double, simultaneously enhancing True Qi quality by twice as much.
Just entering the Foundation Establishnt Stage allows one to overpower the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
Entering the Foundation Establishnt Stage sooner is more rewarding than rely refining Combat Techniques.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Xuanji adjusted his state.
Recalling the past, having been reincarnated into this world for forty-eight years.
On arriving in this world, there was trepidation, fear, unease, and even so joy.
Because here, one can pursue long life.
With innurable techniques and infinite great daos, I only ask one question: can it lead to long life?
The only true thod is the one that leads to long life.
But later, there was apprehension, fearing not having a Spirit Root and remaining a mortal; also fearing being a Five Spirit Root, laboring lifelong but only reaching the third layer of Qi Cultivation.
Fortunately, luck was in his favor.
Awakened with Three Spirit Roots, considered a genius within the clan.
Now, finally reaching the mont to achieve Foundation Establishnt.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart, he fetched a thousand-year Netherworld Grass, making the final preparations.
The thousand-year Netherworld Grass can increase the probability of Foundation Establishnt.
Without a Foundation Establishnt Pill, does it an it’s impossible to achieve Foundation Establishnt!
Not at all; many cultivators have succeeded in Foundation Establishnt without a Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Without a Foundation Establishnt Pill, there are still other Elixirs or Spirit dicines that can enhance the probability of Foundation Establishnt.
The greatest effect of a Foundation Establishnt Pill is not in assisting Foundation Establishnt but in providing a safety net, an insurance.
In case of failure in Foundation Establishnt, the Foundation Establishnt Pill can save the cultivator’s life.
But other Spirit dicines or Elixirs can rely enhance the probability of Foundation Establishnt without preserving life in case of failure.
