Chapter 62
62 Why wouldn’t a big brother dare to?
After Lu chaoxi and the others returned to the clan, the first thing they did was to report the situation of the battle to patriarch Lu Qing.
This time, the Lu clan had sent out more than 30 cultivators, and all four of them were at the foundation building realm. After the battle, two-thirds of the participating members were injured to varying degrees, but the good news was that no one died.
10 years ago, Lu Qing had just woken up, and he had already found out about the situation of the water Ghost Lake. In order to attack this place, he had led the Lu clan from behind and made ten years of preparations.
As it turned out, these preparations were very useful. Although there were some twists and turns in the battle, it was generally smooth and no one died. He also got the yin-essence water Jade.
It was perfect.
Currently, Lu chaoxi’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the foundation building realm. With a few more years of preparation, he would be able to attempt a breakthrough to the initial enlightenment realm.
If Qi cultivation to Foundation establishment was like building a raft with the body, then initial enlightenment was the sublimation of the spirit, leading the entire cultivator to further improve in all aspects.
The initial enlightenment stage was also the last stage of a cultivator’s major stage. From the first breath of spiritual energy, to forging the foundation of Dao, and then to the sublimation of the soul. After these three steps were completed, he had gradually completed the complete separation from the mortal world, from the physical body to the soul.
The next step was for the spirit, flesh, and soul to solidify together and form a golden core in the body. This was the second stage of the immortal path.
After the Golden core was used to nurture the nascent soul, the nascent soul was then cultivated into the Dharma form. When one reached the Dharma stage, they were no different from the legendary Immortals. They were 10000 feet tall, and their Dharma was like the heavens and earth. They could support the sky above and connect to the netherworld below.
Lu Qing had seen nascent soul realm old monsters twice before he died. He had only heard of Dharma Immortals, but had never seen one.
It was said that the so-called ‘insightful emptiness’ was to build a small world in the body and soul, which could breed living creatures and hide immeasurable spiritual Qi and divine powers.
When the small world could respond to the outside world and even connect with the big world, it could be called a ‘divine sea’.
This was a technique that was like a fairy tale. Even when Lu Qing was still alive, he had never heard of anyone who had such an ability. All of them were legends.
Having said that, the initial enlightenment stage that Lu chaoxi was facing was actually a relatively mild juncture. It was not as dangerous as breaking through to the foundation building stage.
Regardless of whether they succeeded or failed, or whether they used the treasure or not, at least they would not die.
As for the severe injuries to his soul, he would just need to spend twenty to thirty years to slowly recuperate. It was more troublesome to leave behind the root of the illness. It would cause the cultivator’s soul to be inherently damaged and unable to break through again, but it was better than death.
Given Lu chaoxi’s talent and accumulation, he would need another five years to Polish his condition. He would not need to do anything else. He had a 20% chance of breaking through to the Qiming stage.
It was already not low, and this was because he had two spiritual roots. If an ordinary foundation building cultivator with three spiritual roots wanted to break through, the success rate would be much lower than his.
And if he could have the help of the divine wood of sky Thunder, then the success rate of breaking through was a bit exaggerated. It was estimated to be 70% to 80%.
But the key was that this divine wood of Heavenly Thunder was too hard to find.
Generally speaking, it was already very difficult to find heavenly materials and earthly treasures for the breakthrough of five-element spiritual roots in the market, and the price would start from 50000 spirit stones. As for Heavenly Thunder divine wood, this kind of Thunder attribute heavenly treasure might not be much more expensive than the five elements divine items. After all, the demand was small, but it was also rarer.
Before they attacked the water Ghost Lake, the family had been asking around in the Feiyun state for the divine Thunder wood. He was preparing to use the yin-essence water Jade to make an exchange after obtaining it.
These two were treasures of the same level, and it was possible to exchange them, especially if the other party had a need for them. They might be able to exchange for them at a fair price.
However, there was no news.
A few years had passed since he started looking for clues. Lu chaoxi felt that there was no hope.
“Let’s keep this for mingchao’s future use.” Lu chaoxi said, ” I still have at least 60 years of my life. I have plenty of time.
if that’s the case, I can still live for another hundred years. Doesn’t that mean I have more time? ” Lu mingchao was very displeased.
Lu chaoxi smiled bitterly and said,”I want to use it too, but I can’t use the yin-essence water Jade!” I can’t get any information about the divine lightning wood from the outside, so I can’t exchange it even if I want to.”
Actually, this was very normal.
Foundation building pills could still be found in the market occasionally. However, no matter if it was the yin-essence water Jade or the divine lightning wood, these items that cost over 50000 Yuan each were not sold in the trading company. It was also very difficult to find out about them. People or forces who owned such divine items were basically like the Lu clan, hiding them and not revealing them.
Lu mingchao bit her lower lip and said,”why don’t we ask Chaohe to go to the Qingfeng sect and ask around? let’s see if he can find out anything about the Kasaya.”
“There’s no need to do that,” Lu chaoxi rejected her outright.
the Qingfeng sect won’t do anything to ruin their reputation for a mere Yin-essence water Jade, ” Chaohe said. but it’s hard to say for someone else. Money can move people’s hearts. If we were to ask about this matter, what if the news were to leak out, especially if Zhao Zidan that old fellow knew about Qianqian?”
Thinking of that outcome, everyone shuddered.
Zhao Zidan’s lifespan was reaching its end, and he definitely had no hope of reaching the nascent soul realm. He would probably pass away in a sitting posture within these few years. If he knew that the Lu family had a piece of Yin-essence water Jade, he might take the risk and personally come to destroy the Lu family at the last moment of his life. Killing two birds with one stone, snatching the treasure and exterminating the enemy.
“Then what should Zhenzhen do?” Mingchao’s expression was helpless.
Chaoxi stroked her sister’s hair and consoled her,”The best way is to hide it. When you reach the ninth layer of the Foundation Stage, you can use it for yourself. Even if I have the divine lightning wood now, it’ll take me at least five years to Polish my own condition and prepare for the breakthrough. With sister Nine’s rate of improvement, she might even be at the eighth or ninth level. If I leave it to you, it won’t be too late for you to achieve initial enlightenment. It will also save you the trouble and risk of looking for the divine wood of Heavenly Thunder. Why not?”
“I support your big brother’s opinion.”
Lu Qing, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the three children in the closed-door cultivation room, also spoke at that moment, ” you and your sister shouldn’t be giving each other the chance. According to my estimation, mingchao will have the opportunity to break through to the initial enlightenment stage in ten years. The yin-essence water Jade will come in handy then.
“But what about big brother?”
Lu chaoxi smiled. you don’t have to worry too much. In a few years, when I feel more confident, I will try to break through.
“You plan to break through without using any treasures?”
“If ninth sister can do it, why wouldn’t I, as her big brother, dare to?”
“Well said,” Lu Qing said, “when the time comes, I might be able to give you a hand.
