Chapter 117: Foundation Building Without Regret

As his cultivation improved, Lu Chang'an consolidated a little, and incidentally cultivated his treasure talisman on a daily basis.

On the spirit wood table, thirteen treasure talismans were spread out.

Two years ago, he participated in a private trade fair near Wu Qi Mountain for the Foundation Stage, and was fortunate enough to buy a piece of second-order top-grade spirit wood, which he made into four more precious talismans.

The earliest three talismans were kept for nearly twenty years.

These three precious talismans are vaguely beyond the scope of the second-order upper-grade, comparable to the quality of the most inferior talisman treasure.

A good talisman can be as powerful as 30% of the original talisman.

If a late stage JieDan treasure is used as the original form, its power can pose a threat to a false dan.

Refining a talismanic treasure is very costly and will weaken the power of the treasure for a period of time, so few JieDan real people are willing to do it.

Lu Changan, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, consumed about twenty years to be able to harbor an entry-level talisman treasure, which was very cost-effective.

"However, the materials used for these treasure talismans are all only the top grade of the second rank, and limited by their potential, the rate of enhancement will gradually decrease down the road."

......

A few days later, Lu Chang'an emerged from the customs.

The Xuan Shui Turtle behind him followed him out, sucking in the residual scent.

As Lu Changan's cultivation increased, the Xuan Shui Turtle's growth rate increased slightly.

When he stepped out of the cave, the turtle ran towards the lotus pond.

It looked left and right, but did not see the familiar Guan Qiaozhi.

On the other hand, Mu Bingyun was controlling her puppet and practicing her Little ** technique, tending to the medicinal field with the Earth Rock Rat.

In the last three years, Guan Qiaozhi has been practicing diligently, and has been in seclusion from time to time, in preparation for her Foundation Establishment.

Part of the work of tending to the mountain was shared by Mu Bing Yun.

Mu Bing Yun is silent, due to the reason of drawing talismans, the divine sense is refined, and it is easier to manipulate the puppets.

Lu Changan sat in the pavilion by the lotus pond, happy and contented, looking at the scenery on the mountain, the golden Spirit Valley in the distance.

"Uncle Lu."

Just sat down for a while, the green dress girl with a face as clear as snow, served tea and said softly.

Lu Changan nodded and took the tea.

In the past, Mu Bing Yun did not have this kind of thoughtfulness.

She has outstanding talent, and her master is a second-ranked talisman master, so she is considered to be the proud daughter of the clan.

In addition, her character is more lonely, and she does not have the habit of serving people.

In addition to being under the influence of others, this change is also due to Guan Qiaozhi's cultivation.

Half a day later.

Guan Qiaozhi finished practicing and came to see Lu Changan.

"How's the preparation for foundation building going?"

Under Lu Changan's gaze, Guan Qiaozhi was slightly rushed and bowed her head sheepishly:

"Brother Lu, I am still some distance away from the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining."

"To impact Foundation Establishment, it is not necessary to reach the peak of Qi Refining, mental state, and physical age are important."

Lu Changan could see that Guan Qiaozhi was a little short of energy.

"Concubine will prepare for another year and have a greater grasp."

Guan Qiaozhi gathered her courage and clenched her fists.

"To impact the Foundation Establishment, you must be firm in your Taoist heart and go forward."

Lu Chang'an encouraged.

Another year, Guan Qiaozhi will be fifty-nine years old, which is within the acceptable range. Since following Lu Changan, Guan Qiaozhi has been practicing steadily and her body has been well maintained. She has not left behind any dark diseases or damaged foundations.

......

Two months later.

Shi Manrong returned from outside and sent a transmission note, inviting Lu Changan to his residence.

After the transaction three years ago and the in-depth communication, the two of them became more familiar with each other.

"The prohibition on this woman will be triggered in two years at most."

Lu Chang'an looked on and did not refuse, coming to the cave of Little Plate Peak.

When we met today, Shi Manrong looked haggard, her makeup was not as delicate as before, and her hair temples were slightly disheveled, giving her a sense of lethargy as a beautiful woman.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, accompany my concubine for a few words."

Inside the tea room, Shi Manrong's voice was warm, forced a smile, and lifted the wine pot.

The two of them drank a few small cups and slowly chatted.

Shi Manrong snuggled in his arms, dress neat, without the temptation of the past.

Lu Changan knew that this woman was just looking for a temporary harbor to talk to her heart.

Or to show her weakness to arouse the sympathy of others.

"My concubine has thought of various ways...... Even a false dan cultivator would find it difficult to break the prohibition of this sea of consciousness connection."

Shi Manrong's gaze darkened, bitterly said.

If you ask others to break the ban, you have to let go of your sea of consciousness, open up all your secrets, and trust others unconditionally.

"Fairy Shi, your cultivation is already in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, with the attainments of the second grade array, studying the sea of consciousness type of prohibition, touching the similarity, there should be a ray of hope."

Lu Changan comforted.

"Does fellow Daoist Lu have any insights?" Shi Manrong's face was buried in his chest, her eyes turning slightly.

"In the Immortal Cultivation World, there are quite a few means to break prohibitions, such as certain special magic weapons and talismans. There also exists a phasing between prohibitions......."

Lu Chang'an spoke some insights appropriately.

"Prohibitions and formations have the same system. Fairy Shi might as well think about what means there are to break formations, and the same goes for forbidden systems."

Without the second coming of the Nine Seal Tablet, Lu Chang'an would not have been able to resolve this prohibition.

However, he might as well provide some ideas and hints.

At least he knows which methods are not feasible and which have hope.

Shi Manrong listened attentively, occasionally showing a thoughtful look.

Lu Changan's insights couldn't help her directly, but they could trigger some inspiration.

"Lu Lang, if there is really no chance, can you help my concubine keep a seed?"

Suddenly, Shi Manrong snorted a laugh and said in a half-truth, half-false manner.

"If this matter comes to fruition, my concubine is willing to give you all of her life's legacy and mantle inheritance."

Lu Changan's face twitched slightly and waved his hand, "Mister Lu is not interested in having an heir."

"As long as Fairy Master puts out the words of seeking a son for a heavy amount of money, I believe that many cultivators will be attracted to it."

"Humph! You this heartless."

Shi Manrong's pretty eyes lightly glanced across at him, seeming to be a bit sulky.

"Mister Lu withdrew first, lest your ex-husband find the door again."

Lu Chang'an got up and said.

Before saying goodbye, Shi Manrong hugged him tenderly from behind.

"Lu Lang, I have heard that there is a rare type of ban-breaking talisman that works wonders on most prohibitions, do you know anything about it?"

"This kind of forbidden breaking talisman does exist, but it only applies to regular forbidden restraints, excluding those connected to the sea of consciousness. Unless it's a customized ban-breaking talisman for the divine soul class, it should be at least of the third rank to be secure."

Lu Chang'an answered.

Shi Manrong let out a soft hmmm, her expression slightly disappointed.

She let go of her hand and prepared to send Lu Chang'an out of the cave.

......

"Man Rong, I have something important to see you!"

Outside Little Plate Peak, an urgent man's voice came.

"The Chen family has suffered a crisis and requires your presence......"

"Leave him alone." Shi Manrong clear eyes a cold.

"Shi Man Rong! How can you be so ungrateful as to ignore the family that raised and nurtured you."

Chen Sheng shouted outside for half a day.

Lu Changan could not go out directly.

He was also bored and spent more than an hour cozying up to Fairy Shi to pass the time.

Outside.

Chen Sheng's throat was almost mute.

Seeing that Shi Manrong didn't respond, he went to the Little Turtle Peak a few miles away to call out. Lu Changan was not at Little Turtle Peak, so naturally he didn't respond.

"Lu Changan! Did you go to Man Rong's house? I don't know why I trusted you so much."

Chen Sheng shouted angrily with a skeptical expression.

In response, Lu Chang'an was unperturbed and accustomed to it.

Chen Sheng was very suspicious.

Several Peak Masters on Wu Qi Mountain, as long as they were male Foundation Establishment, including some Qi Refining Stage male cultivators, were all suspected.

Lu Chang'an was hardly spared and was also included in the list of suspects a few years ago.

At this time, the sky is getting late.

"You take the back door."

Shi Manrong wiped the fragrant sweat on her forehead and said to Lu Changan.

"Good."

Lu Chang'an knew the breaks and secret doors of the Xiaopan Peak Mountain Protection Formation.

He left through a hidden secret door at the back of the mountain.

Then, he went around from the other direction and flew to Little Turtle Peak.

......

"Lu Chang'an! Come out to me-"

Halfway through Chen Sheng's words, he was tapped on the shoulder.

"Brother Chen, you're looking for me?"

A flat man's voice came out.

Chen Sheng's body stumbled.

Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but he was touched behind him without a sound.

"Brother Lu ah."

"This is a misunderstanding, I just thought that you went to Man Rong's residence."

Looking at the white clothed man in front of him, Chen Sheng stabilized his stance and squeezed out a smile on his face, where there was still a little bit of anger from a moment ago.

Lu Chang'an was able to approach without a sound, because this person's cultivation was wasted, and his magic power was patchy and impure, so he lost his vigilance.

"Brother Chen, I see your footsteps floating, Yang Yuan loss, recently is not it......"

Lu Chang'an said with a smile but not a laugh.

"There is no such thing! Brother Lu don't talk nonsense?"

Chen Sheng reacted a little too much and hurriedly interrupted Lu Changan, glancing at Little Plate Peak.

"Brother Lu, I won't disturb you. Chen mou first go back......"

Between the flickering of words, Chen Sheng left in ashes.

Lu Chang'an was not surprised, this person is known as a brazen scoundrel, bullying soft and afraid of hard.

......

This is the first time I've ever seen a man like Chen Sheng in the world.

The spiritual qi of heaven and earth above Little Turtle Peak has shown an unusual movement.

A dozen days later, the outline of a spiritual qi vortex emerged, trembling slightly.

"Someone has built a foundation?"

The other two main peaks, as well as the dependent Qi refining cultivators, looked towards Little Turtle Peak.

Impacting the Foundation Establishment Stage is not uncommon in the second-order spirit veins all over Liang.

Ordinary cultivators can't afford to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill, but they can buy the much cheaper Vein Protecting Pill, so they have to take a shot at it before they get old.

The "Vein Protection Pill" can only protect the dantian meridians and reduce the risk of death, but does not increase the success rate.

Only a few lucky people can succeed.

Whew!

In the sky, the silhouette of the aura vortex suddenly collapsed.

"Failed."

The other two main peaks, Lin Ye and Shi Manrong, were both secretly concerned.

They knew that the person who impacted Foundation Establishment was Guan Qiaozhi.

Whether it was the Vein Protecting Pill or the Foundation Establishment Pill that was used, it wasn't certain.

In terms of a concubine's status, it would be good to get a Vein Protecting Pill.

......

Inside the secret room of the cave.

"Brother Lu, I'm sorry! It was me who was useless and wasted the Foundation Building Pill."

Guan Qiaozhi's small face was pale, revealing loss and shame.

"There's no need to blame yourself, with your qualifications, at this age, and taking an inferior Foundation Building Pill, it's normal to fail."

Lu Changan put one palm on Guan Qiaozhi's back.

Guan Qiaozhi's impact had failed and suffered a backlash, so he had just made a timely move to protect her and help heal her.

Lu Chang'an performed the Evergreen Secret Technique, consuming a very small amount of his lifespan to perform a certain test.

"There is an effect! The backlash injuries were healed and smoothed out in time, preventing the foundation from being damaged and the vitality from being greatly injured."

Lu Chang'an secretly said in his heart.

In other words, if one has the Evergreen Secret Technique to protect them, the failure of impacting a Foundation Builder will have little to no effect on the foundation.

If he recuperates for a few months and recovers his energy, he will be able to continue his impact.

Can this situation be applied to JieDan?

"Brother Lu, to have made it this far, my concubine already has no regrets. If I had stayed in Yellow Dragon Immortal City, I wouldn't have even had such a chance, and I wouldn't even have been able to advance to the late stage of Qi Refining." Guan Qiaozhi's eyes were glistening with tears.

"Take this bottle of secret medicine and recuperate for a while."

Lu Chang'an didn't say anything more, took out a medicine bottle and instructed.

A year ago, he could tell: Guan Qiaozhi's conviction was not strong enough to impact Foundation Establishment.

The second-grade Foundation Establishment Pill's efficacy is really not good enough.

Moreover, Guan Qiaozhi had taken a breakthrough pill to reach the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage.

"Brother Lu, my concubine has heard that if you fail to impact the Foundation Establishment, your vital energy will be greatly injured and you will age rapidly......"

Guan Qiaozhi suddenly covered her face in sadness and didn't dare to look at Lu Changan.

"The backlash of a failed Foundation Establishment is both heavy and light, and varies from person to person."

Lu Chang'an said in relief.

"Your symptoms are relatively mild, the age at which you impacted the Foundation Establishment is not that old, and with my protection and secret medicines to nourish you, it won't cause rapid aging."

"Seems true?"

Guan Qiaozhi took out a mirror and looked at it for a while, her face remained the same, breaking into a smile.
