Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Impact Foundation Establishment

"Father is injured. Who attacked him?"

Lu Xuanji asked.

"There are some suspicions, but it’s uncertain! This time your father and Sixth Aunt went out to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill for you, but many market places said they were out of stock. Some 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 Establishment 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 Establishment Pill gone, but two Foundation Establishment 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 some 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 merely injuring two of our Lu Family Foundation Establishment, without killing, makes it hard for me to leverage this favor."

The Grand Elder was full of lament.

That rogue cultivator gauged the Lu Family all too accurately.

Injured but not dead, seemingly merciful, 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 Establishment Cultivators, it would anger the Lu Family, and under the Lu Family’s counterattack, those opposing forces would also suffer heavy losses.

But merely 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 Medicine, 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 meet 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 Establishment Pill for me 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 become unmanageable, you can leave alone." Lu Xuanji said, "The current situation is very unfavorable for us. Someone is targeting the Lu Family. They might not be able to wipe us out directly but will set traps, use all kinds of sinister means 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 some books from his Storage Bag and handed them to Ye Feixue.

These books numbered dozens, containing various volumes of Cultivation Techniques, as well as books on Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talisman Making, Arrays, Spirit Plants, Puppet, and others.

Companions, Wealth, Methods, and Land, the four essentials of cultivating immortality.

As the Lu Family declined, they no longer had prime Spiritual Mountains, nor much Wealth and Spirit Stones; even the Foundation Establishment 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 Establishment Realm.

No longer longing for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Nor planning to continue waiting.

The Ye Family and Wu Family both said they would give one Foundation Establishment Pill to the Lu Family in ten years, but who knows if there will be changes then.

Now is the time to pursue Foundation Establishment Stage. There is no need to wait.

Many Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivators, lacking a Foundation Establishment Pill and unable to advance in cultivation, only continuously refine True Qi, Magic, and Combat Techniques, reaching consummate mastery in Combat Techniques, with extremely 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 Establishment Cultivator.

Because after entering the Foundation Establishment 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 Establishment Stage allows one to overpower the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

Entering the Foundation Establishment Stage sooner is more rewarding than merely 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 some joy.

Because here, one can pursue long life.

With innumerable techniques and infinite great daos, I only ask one question: can it lead to long life?

The only true method 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 moment to achieve Foundation Establishment.

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 Establishment.

Without a Foundation Establishment Pill, does it mean it’s impossible to achieve Foundation Establishment!

Not at all; many cultivators have succeeded in Foundation Establishment without a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Without a Foundation Establishment Pill, there are still other Elixirs or Spirit Medicines that can enhance the probability of Foundation Establishment.

The greatest effect of a Foundation Establishment Pill is not in assisting Foundation Establishment but in providing a safety net, an insurance.

In case of failure in Foundation Establishment, the Foundation Establishment Pill can save the cultivator’s life.

But other Spirit Medicines or Elixirs can merely enhance the probability of Foundation Establishment without preserving life in case of failure.
