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

One month's cultivation!

Two months of cultivation!

Three months of cultivation!

......

Six months of cultivation!!

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~"

Lu Changsheng lay on the armchair, panting heavily. His arms, which he used to prop himself up, trembled violently, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

"You... what's wrong with you, you vixen?"

Lu Changsheng took the tea Mo Rou offered him, gulped it down, and then took out a handful of Qingling Pills from his Qiankun bag, swallowing them in one go. Only then did his depleted body regain some strength.

"Six times in a row! You want to kill me?!"

Tongtianfeng is not dead!

Naisenin is not dead!

To die on a woman's belly?

If this gets out, will Lu Changsheng still have any shame?

Master Ji Jiufeng would probably be so enraged that she would shatter the Lesser Immortal Realm and dig up Lu Changsheng's corpse to whip it!

Fortunately, he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation and possessed the heaven-defying technique "Devouring Heaven Demon Art." Although he still looked old, he was full of energy and seemed to grow stronger with each battle.

"Master, I... I was just doing this for..."

Mo Rou blushed, her eyes darting around, seemingly embarrassed by what Lu Changsheng had said.

"We went all out to help the master establish his foundation as soon as possible."

Lu Changsheng finished his tea, looked at Mo Rou who was bowing her head and silent, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, and smiled slightly.

"You're lying to me? Did you destroy the Crimson Flame Tower on Tongtian Peak, and your little lover threw a tantrum at you and gave you a hard time?"

"Master, waaaaah~"

Upon hearing this, Mo Rou immediately knelt down in front of Lu Changsheng and burst into tears.

The Crimson Flame Tower was the most precious and powerful magic treasure on his Daoist partner, Qian Feng. It was something that even Golden Core cultivators could only dream of, let alone Foundation Establishment cultivators.

As long as the Crimson Flame Tower exists, with his peak cultivation at the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, Qianfeng can completely roam freely throughout the Inner Immortal Academy, and even the Enforcement Hall will have to think twice.

However, without the Crimson Flame Tower, their combat power would be reduced by nearly half, not only lowering their status within the Inner Immortal Academy but also affecting their past enemies...

Who would have thought that a trip to Tongtian Peak to deal with a few minor Foundation Establishment disciples would result in the destruction of the Crimson Flame Tower?

If Qian Feng had known this would be the outcome, he would have preferred that Mo Rou, that stupid woman, to die rather than lend her the Crimson Flame Tower for self-defense!

He had planned to lend out his Daoist partner for a few months to make some spirit stones to spend, but he never expected to lose both his wife and his money.

Not only did they lose Mo Rou's first blood, but they also lost a Crimson Flame Tower.

Selling his wife yields 10,000 low-grade spirit stones a month. At this rate, it will take Mo Rou two whole years to break even!

For Qianfeng, selling his wife once or countless times makes no difference, but the problem is...

Can that old geezer Lu Changsheng even live for another two years?!

We've suffered a huge loss!

As one can imagine, when Mo Rou told Qian Feng the news of the destruction of the Crimson Flame Tower, Qian Feng looked up to the sky and howled, beating his feet and pounding his chest, regretting that it was too late...

Mo Rou naturally received a cold reception and was constantly mistreated, with no one to confide in about her grievances.

"Don't worry, the master won't treat you unfairly!"

Lu Changsheng reached out and touched Mo Rou's head as she knelt before him, and said meaningfully:

"It's just a Crimson Flame Tower. As long as you please me, I'll buy you another one!"

However, a mere 200,000 spirit stones is not a small matter for Lu Changsheng.

Moreover, this opportunity also allows us to leave behind a hidden move...

Gan Feng, you green-turtle man, you should have just stayed out of trouble with Lu Changsheng. But once you start making a fool of yourself, you're asking for it!

"Sir...sir, are you...are you telling the truth?"

Mo Rou burst into tears of joy, raising her head to look at Lu Changsheng with an incredulous expression:

"Are you really going to buy another Crimson Flame Tower to give... to someone? You're not kidding, are you? That's... that's over two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones..."

"A beautiful woman's smile is priceless; she's just a material possession, what does she really matter?"

Lu Changsheng smiled, took Mo Rou's small hand, and pulled her into a strong embrace.

This stupid woman is great in every way, except she's love-struck and so foolish!

"Sir, you're so kind~"

Mo Rou nestled in Lu Changsheng's arms, beaming with joy. She believed that Lu Changsheng was completely infatuated with her, couldn't live without her, and would give up everything for her.

"My favorite character is the master!"

In order to win back a Crimson Flame Tower for Qianfeng, Mo Rou went all out, immediately pressing her body even closer, making it hard for Lu Changsheng to breathe.

"Master~"

"Um?"

"This time, it doesn't have to be in bed~"

"..."

Oh shit!

In order to establish his foundation as soon as possible, Lu Changsheng went all out!

next moment.

The earth shook again.

One month's cultivation!

Two months of cultivation!

......

With the mutual support of Yin and Yang, their cultivation levels increased dramatically once again.

a long time.

As dusk approached, Princess Taiping was exhausted and covered in sweat after purchasing the medicinal materials needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

squeak~

As soon as he pushed open the gate and rushed into the courtyard with a joyful expression, before he could even utter an affectionate "Senior~", he heard Mo Rou's heart-wrenching, agonizing moans ring in his ears.

The tables and chairs trembled, and the curtains fluttered gently.

And then there were those tingling, bone-chilling sounds...

Princess Taiping's smile froze instantly. Even if she was foolish and naive, she knew what the two people inside were doing.

"Senior, you..."

Princess Taiping wanted to say a few words of criticism, but then she realized that she had no right to interfere with Lu Changsheng. She also thought that Lu Changsheng was so old, it was normal for him to have some needs.

But this...

If you're going to find someone, find a good woman. Mo Rou doesn't look like a good person at all, so why should she...?

"snort!!"

Princess Taiping pouted, her hand, which was about to knock on the door, unconsciously lowered, and she quietly waited for the battle inside to end.

But this wait is not a big deal.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.

The time it takes for two incense sticks to burn has passed.

The time it takes for three incense sticks to burn has passed again.

.......

A full six incense sticks' worth of time passed, and the wind stopped and the rain ceased.

Princess Taiping's face was already as red as a ripe apple. Inexperienced in such matters, she could never have imagined...

Didn't they say these things usually happen pretty quickly?

After taking a few deep breaths, Princess Taiping stepped forward, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and entered.

"Bai Xue, you're back. How did the medicinal herb procurement go?"

While having Mo Rou tidy his clothes, Lu Changsheng picked up a cup to replenish his body with water.

He sensed something the moment Princess Taiping stepped into the courtyard, but some things were bound to be known sooner or later, so there was no need to hide them.

At such an advanced age, what is there to be upset about?

If Princess Taiping disapproves of it, she should leave early to avoid further trouble.

However, breaking through to a higher cultivation level is a major event, not only concerning Lu Changsheng's own life and death, but also the changes that his master Ji Jiufeng would bring to the Cloud Palace after leaving the Little Immortal Realm.

In the pursuit of power, what is the value of so-called face?

Besides, Princess Taiping was a friend and a confidante, not his woman.

"Yes...yes, everything...is all purchased!"

Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She quickly blushed and took out a bulging Qiankun bag from her bosom, handing it to Lu Changsheng:

"As instructed by the senior, the 30,000 merit points and the treasures obtained on this trip have all been sold and exchanged for spirit stones."

"We've purchased a considerable amount of the five medicinal herbs needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, but the sixth herb, Moon Dew Stamen, which can enhance the formation of the core, is extremely rare and unavailable. We were only able to purchase three!"

As she spoke, Princess Taiping waved her hand, and the Qiankun Bag opened. Various rare spiritual herbs and plants flew out and hovered in mid-air, radiating colorful light.

"This is the formula for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. Please take a look, senior."

Lu Changsheng nodded, took the prescription, and understood it at a glance.

"Master, are you perhaps trying to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill? This...this is simply impossible!"

Now that Princess Taiping had caught her in an affair, Mo Rou decided to stop pretending. If even Lu Changsheng didn't care, then this flirtatious woman was even less concerned.

She stopped calling him "Junior Brother" and started calling him "Master." Right now, all she wanted to do was make Lu Changsheng happy so she could buy another Crimson Flame Tower for her Daoist partner, Qian Feng, and win back his heart.

She's never had any sense of propriety, morality, or shame.

But upon hearing that Lu Changsheng wanted to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, Mo Rou became anxious and quickly tried to dissuade him:

"The Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely difficult to refine. Even Golden Core cultivators would find it difficult to succeed, let alone Foundation Establishment cultivators. Master, you can simply refine the Pure Spirit Pill. With your abilities, as long as you refine it tirelessly for a whole year, you will surely..."

Mo Rou accidentally blurted out her innermost thoughts, and quickly covered her mouth in realization.

"snort!!"

Princess Taiping snorted coldly, glaring fiercely at Mo Rou with murderous intent in her eyes.

She knew that Mo Rou was only getting close to Lu Changsheng to trick him out of spirit stones and pills!

There was no true love between them at all!

Unfortunately, Lu Changsheng, a shrewd man, was deeply entangled in it without even realizing it.

Boom!!

Lu Changsheng ignored Mo Rou, that stupid woman. After glancing at the pill formula, he waved his hand and summoned the alchemy furnace. He then lit the flames and began refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

According to the recipe, only five medicinal materials are needed to refine the Foundation Building Pill:

Qi-condensing grass, marrow-washing flower, spirit-leaf ginseng, tonifying fruit, and cloud-patterned thunderwood.

The sixth medicinal ingredient mentioned by Princess Taiping, Moon Dew, is not essential but rather an added bonus, as it can attract spiritual energy and stabilize the foundation, increasing the chances of forming the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Once the flames had heated the alchemy furnace to a certain temperature and the furnace had been cleaned, Lu Changsheng controlled the first medicinal herb, Qi Condensation Grass, to be added into the alchemy furnace.

Amidst the tense expressions of Princess Taiping and Mo Rou, the Qi-Gathering Grass was quickly refined into a pool of medicinal liquid.

Then the second medicinal herb, the Marrow Cleansing Flower, was added to the furnace, and this process also proceeded without any unexpected incidents.

Next came the third medicinal herb, Lingye Shen, and the fourth, Guyuan Guo...

When the fifth medicinal material, cloud-patterned thunderwood, was added to the alchemy furnace, the energy became unbalanced, causing the furnace to shake violently.

boom! !

A pool of medicinal liquid exploded, but fortunately, Lu Changsheng activated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art in time to absorb the violent energy, thus preventing the alchemy furnace from exploding.

"Hmm, as expected of a Foundation Establishment Pill, it's indeed much harder to refine than a Spirit Clarity Pill!"

Lu Changsheng was not discouraged by his failure. He didn't even rest. With a flick of his left hand, a blazing flame reignited the alchemy furnace.

"Master, I've already said that only Golden Core cultivators can successfully refine Foundation Establishment Pills. You should just stick to refining the Spirit Clarity Pill. Why do you need to..."

"Shut up! If you dare disturb my alchemy again, get out of here!"

Before Mo Rou could finish her complaint, Princess Taiping stopped her. Although she was only at the Qi Refining stage, with Lu Changsheng around, the lotus seal could be broken at any time, so there was no need to worry about energy backlash.

If a fight were to break out, Mo Rou would definitely be no match for Princess Taiping.

Lu Changsheng ignored the two women's argument, focusing all his attention on the alchemy furnace.

Having learned from the first failure, the second attempt at refining the product became much easier with practice.

The Qi-Condensing Grass, Marrow-Cleansing Flower, Spirit Leaf Ginseng, Yuan-Strengthening Fruit, and Cloud-Patterned Thunderwood were respectively put into the alchemy furnace, and under the scorching flames, they turned into five pools of medicinal liquid.

Then, the sixth medicinal herb, Moon Dew, which increases the chance of forming a golden core, is added to the alchemy furnace.

Before the violent energy could spread, the Devouring Demon Art intervened first, devouring all the energies of different attributes and forcibly achieving a delicate balance.

"Get married to me!!"

As Lu Changsheng flipped his hand seal, the six pools of medicinal liquid merged into one, and then transformed into a pill embryo.

Buzz!

After the alchemy furnace hummed three times, the aroma of elixirs filled the air.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Changsheng sent a pure white pill, its unique Daoist aura flowing around it, into his palm.

The Foundation Establishment Pill, worth dozens of times more than the Cleansing Spirit Pill, is complete!

"As expected of a Foundation Establishment Pill, it's indeed difficult to refine!"

Lu Changsheng clenched the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand and muttered to himself:

"Sigh, it took two attempts to finally succeed!"

After these words were spoken, the entire courtyard fell silent.

Lu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Princess Taiping and Mo Rou, who had been arguing, staring at him with wide eyes, as if...

I'm looking at a monster!
