He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

Breaking through a realm?

Princess Taiping was completely dumbfounded when she saw Lu Changsheng sitting cross-legged on the futon, eyes closed and mind focused, already entering a meditative state.

this......

He just broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, how come he's about to break through again?

Although the Qi Refining stage is the lowest level in the path of cultivation, a tall building starts from the ground up. If the foundation is not solid, how can a tall building be built?

It should be noted that Lu Changsheng had only broken through to the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage less than ten days ago, and now he was about to break through again.

Could it be that he was stimulated by something, causing him to try to force the seedlings to grow too fast?

Princess Taiping felt a sudden pang of anxiety, but she was relieved once she detected that Lu Changsheng's spiritual energy was stable and his aura was steady.

"With such talent, senior, you are no less than any of the sect's prodigies, so why are you still only at the Qi Refining stage at the advanced age of eighty?"

"With your talent, you would surely have reached the Saint Realm within ten years, but now..."

"What secrets does this senior hold? It's truly intriguing."

Princess Taiping's eyes held a hint of spring water, and she propped her head up with her small hand, staring blankly at Lu Changsheng.

As I watched, I couldn't help but swallow.

"You don't look old at all, and you're quite handsome. If only..."

"Cough cough! Cough cough!"

Before Princess Taiping could finish her infatuation, she suddenly started coughing violently. In order not to disturb Lu Changsheng, who was at the critical moment of breaking through his cultivation level, she covered her mouth tightly with her hand.

When you release your hand, your palm is bright red.

"My internal organs have been damaged. It seems that with my current cultivation level, it's still too much of a stretch to break the lotus seal."

After wiping away the blood, Princess Taiping took a deep breath, then stood in front of Lu Changsheng with her sword in hand, her face full of vigilance.

She did not regret breaking the lotus seal, even though it caused some damage to her body. She would obey Lu Changsheng's every word unconditionally.

......

Looking at the Devouring Heaven Cauldron quietly dormant deep within his dantian, Lu Changsheng let out a long sigh.

Previously, in the battle against Jiang Fan, a fifth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, in the Inner Immortal Academy, without the aid of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, defeat would have been certain.

Lu Changsheng hesitated before using the Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

He was worried that using this secret treasure would attract the attention of other powerful figures, but fortunately, he could fight using only the sturdy cauldron without using any Taoist techniques or supernatural powers, so he would not attract attention.

Even a powerful sect leader like Yun Quezi couldn't uncover any clues without touching the body of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

"The Devouring Heaven Demon Art, devour it all!!"

Sensing that he was about to break through to the next realm, Lu Changsheng closed his eyes and focused his mind, beginning to circulate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy wandering between heaven and earth and drawing it into his dantian.

For ordinary cultivators, breaking through to a higher realm requires consuming a large number of Spirit Cleansing Pills and spirit stones to ensure sufficient spiritual energy during the breakthrough process.

But for Lu Changsheng, who possesses the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, the spiritual energy that roams between heaven and earth is not only free, but also so abundant that it surpasses any pills or spirit stones, so why not use it?

Moreover, having a full spiritual root means it doesn't discriminate based on spiritual power attributes, and the Devouring Heaven Demon Art is powerful enough that the two complement each other.

Click!

boom! !

When the spiritual energy filled his dantian, the invisible shackles were broken once again, and Lu Changsheng successfully broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Not only did his aura surge, but his spiritual power also became more abundant, and his strength increased exponentially!

"There are still two levels to go before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage; we must hurry!"

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, feeling very dissatisfied with his cultivation progress.

Especially since he was going to Tongtian Peak to suppress bandits, he couldn't fly on his sword without breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, which was very inconvenient.

Moreover, with hundreds of thousands of disciples in the Outer Immortal Academy, the sect doesn't have the energy and resources to cultivate them all. Only by successfully establishing one's foundation and entering the Inner Immortal Academy can one stand out and achieve great success.

However, if you want to break through to the next level as soon as possible, there are only two methods!

First, it can devour large amounts of spirit stones and pills much faster than directly drawing spiritual energy from the world.

Secondly, one should cultivate both Yin and Yang, utilizing the dual cultivation method to take an unconventional approach and build a strong foundation.

Only children make choices; this old geezer, Lu Changsheng, wants them all!

"Cough cough! Cough cough!"

Lu Changsheng heard a faint cough, frowned, then opened his eyes and looked at Princess Taiping who was standing in front of him.

"Snow White, are you hurt?"

Lu Changsheng stood up and walked straight to Princess Taiping, his face full of concern.

Princess Taiping avoided eye contact; she didn't want Lu Changsheng to worry about her.

"Senior, I...I'm fine, I just need to rest...rest for a little while..."

"Don't move!"

Without saying a word, Lu Changsheng grabbed Princess Taiping's wrist and then forcefully channeled his spiritual energy into her body to examine her.

"It was my oversight!"

After examining the area, Lu Changsheng frowned again.

Even after the lotus seal was partially lifted, the violent energy still remained in Princess Taiping's body, continuously damaging her meridians.

In other words, Princess Taiping will not be able to establish her foundation until all the residual energy is completely eliminated.

"Senior, it's alright! I will slowly dissipate these residual energies with my own spiritual power. It will only take me six months at most, and I will definitely be able to..."

call out! !

Before she could finish speaking, Princess Taiping was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Because she could clearly sense an extremely strong devouring power erupting from within her body, the remaining violent energy was completely devoured without even a chance to resist this devouring power.

They thought it would take six months or even a year to eliminate it, but to their surprise, Lu Changsheng took action and completely eliminated the hidden danger in less than a few breaths.

"Senior, you..."

Princess Taiping covered her mouth, looking at Lu Changsheng with disbelief. She wanted to ask Lu Changsheng how he did it, but when she thought that it was his secret, she suppressed her curiosity and stopped asking.

"Take these healing pills, and you will be fully recovered within three days."

Lu Changsheng took out a small elixir bottle from his bosom and handed it to Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping blushed as she accepted the elixir bottle, her gaze towards Lu Changsheng burning with intense passion.

It is important to know that breaking the lotus seal grants immense power in a short period of time, but this power is harmful to both oneself and others; each time the seal is broken, it causes considerable damage to the body.

However, with Lu Changsheng's strange devouring power, the residual energy could be easily dissolved. Afterwards, with some healing pills and a little recuperation, he could recover completely.

In other words, as long as Lu Changsheng is there, the lotus seal on Bai Xue can be broken at any time, and she can possess the power of Foundation Establishment cultivation at any time.

In the future, I will not be afraid to face those arrogant inner disciples again.

"Bai Xue, if you trust me, then fight me with all your might!"

"The power hidden within your consciousness, you can use it however you wish. No matter what injuries you suffer, or what backlash you endure, I can heal you!"

Recalling what Lu Changsheng had said in the Inner Immortal Academy, Princess Taiping's heart pounded like a deer's, and her cheeks flushed.

This man actually did it!

"Bai Xue, take your merit points and exchange them for spirit stones."

"Keep the Qiankun bags of Jiang Fan's four inner disciples as well, and exchange all the treasures inside for spirit stones."

Lu Changsheng did not notice Princess Taiping's unusual behavior, but instead revealed his Foundation Establishment plan:

"Then help me purchase the medicinal herbs and recipe needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill! I'm going to begin refining the Foundation Establishment Pill for us!"

wow——

Upon hearing this, even Princess Taiping was momentarily taken aback.

"Senior, the Foundation Establishment Pill is not like the Spirit Cleansing Pill. The Foundation Establishment Pill is of extremely high grade and extremely difficult to refine."

"I've heard that even Foundation Establishment cultivators can't refine Foundation Establishment Pills; at least a Golden Core cultivator has a chance..."

Before Princess Taiping could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng smiled and waved his hand:

"Don't worry, just do as I say, and there won't be any problems!"

Just because others can't do it doesn't mean Lu Changsheng can't!

His full spiritual root attribute allows him to sense the spiritual energy contained within any medicinal herb.

Those with innate Dao bodies are naturally close to the Great Dao of the world, and the Dao of alchemy is also a Dao.

In addition, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art can devour all violent energy, preventing energy imbalance during the alchemy process and thus preventing the alchemy from being destroyed and the furnace from exploding.

Although refining Foundation Establishment Pills is difficult, you can always succeed if you try two or three more times.

Lu Changsheng's decision to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill was not a rash or impulsive act.

Lu Changsheng and Princess Taiping are both at the late stage of Qi Refining and are about to establish their foundation. Without enough Foundation Establishment Pills, their cultivation progress will be slowed down.

Moreover, the majority of those in Shangyun Heavenly Palace are outer disciples who have not yet successfully established their foundations, and what they lack most are foundation-establishing pills containing a trace of Daoist essence.

As everyone knows, as long as there are enough Foundation Establishment Pills, even a pig can successfully establish its foundation and transform into a demon by eating Foundation Establishment Pills as its main food.

As long as Lu Changsheng successfully refines the Foundation Establishment Pill, earning 500,000 low-grade spirit stones to awaken the Devouring Heaven Cauldron will no longer be a dream!

Although the Qingling Pill is good, its value is too low. If one were to focus solely on refining the Qingling Pill, it would take months or even years of effort.

This not only delays Lu Changsheng's cultivation and breakthrough, but it also puts the cart before the horse.

"Senior, I believe in you!"

Princess Taiping blinked her big eyes, nodding her little head like a rattle drum:

"You mean you can do anything..."

Boom boom boom!

Before Princess Taiping could finish speaking, a series of knocks sounded on the door.

This is Lu Changsheng's room. Usually, no one except Princess Taiping comes here.

If someone were coming to cause trouble, they wouldn't be so polite in knocking on the door.

Therefore, the person who comes can only be...

Upon thinking of this, Princess Taiping's smile froze instantly.

"Junior brother~"

"Junior brother~ It's Senior Sister Rou'er. Are you inside?"

"If you're here, I'm coming in~"

As a chilling, bone-deep sound rang out, Princess Taiping's face turned completely black.

"Come in!"

With a wave of his hand, Lu Changsheng dispelled the micro-dust protective array, and the graceful Mo Rou swayed her waist as she walked into the room step by step.

"Oh, who's here? It's Junior Sister Bai Xue~"

Mo Rou walked up to Lu Changsheng, placed her hand on his shoulder, smiled seductively, and looked at Princess Taiping with a defiant expression:

"Junior sister, if you have nothing else to do, go ahead and get busy. Your senior sister and junior brother have something to discuss."

"you....."

Princess Taiping stomped her feet in anger. She couldn't understand why Mo Rou was clearly a vixen! She was obviously no good woman!

Why is it that someone as shrewd as Lu Changsheng is so easily fooled by her, with spirit stones and pills being given to him as if they were free?

"Bai Xue, you can go out now!"

Seeing that another battle was about to break out between the two women, Lu Changsheng quickly waved his hand:

"My senior sister and I do have something to talk about!"

In order to establish a foundation as soon as possible, replenishing yin and yang is a crucial matter and cannot be delayed.

"Hmph~"

Since Lu Changsheng had spoken, Princess Taiping had no choice but to grit her teeth, stomp her feet, and reluctantly push open the door to go and buy the materials needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

As soon as Princess Taiping stepped out of the room, Mo Rou waved her hand and closed the door tightly. Then she pressed herself against Lu Changsheng's chest and breathed sweetly into his ear.

"My lord~ I've missed you so much~"

"Do you want to be in bed this time, or...?"

Tear!

Before Mo Rou could finish speaking, the sound of her dress tearing was heard.

next moment.

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.
