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

A gentle breeze lifted the spirit banner, sending it flying toward the incense and candles, causing the wisps of smoke to dissipate and the candlelight to flicker.

It seems that it still has a lingering attachment to this world, trying hard to attract the attention of others, unwilling to leave.

Elder Mu Feng added some incense paper to the brazier, and the flames grew larger, illuminating his slightly aged face.

The pain of a parent outliving their child is indescribable to those who haven't experienced it.

Elder Mu, please accept my condolences!

"The deceased has passed away; please take care of yourself!"

"What a pity. Changming is a good kid. His talent far surpasses ours. If it weren't for this misfortune, he would definitely have been able to..."

......

Despite the elders' attempts to comfort him, Mu Feng's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

Please accept my condolences.

Take care of yourself.

Is he a good kid?

Is that enough?!

"My son is dead, so why is Lu Changsheng still alive?"

Mu Feng could no longer hold back. His face flushed red, and he roared like a madman at the elders of the Outer Immortal Academy:

"Why does Lu Changsheng still have the nerve to live in this world? Why?!"

"..."

"..."

The Grand Elder frowned. To throw dirty water on a disciple in front of so many people in the mourning hall was going too far!

After thinking it over, his straightforward nature still prevented him from holding back and speaking out for justice:

"Mu Feng, I understand your feelings, but don't spout such baseless nonsense."

Mu Feng reacted like a stray dog ​​whose tail had been stepped on, instantly becoming agitated:

"Nonsense? The one who killed my son was Lu Changsheng!"

Seeing that Mu Feng was becoming increasingly agitated, the Second Elder, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to advise him:

"Lu Changsheng is only at the Qi Refining stage, how could he possibly kill Mu Changming, who is at the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"Moreover, your son wasn't the only one who sacrificed his life on this mission to wipe out the Heavenly Bandits! Both inner and outer disciples suffered casualties!"

Upon hearing this, all the elders chimed in in agreement.

"That's right, I heard that a powerful demon at the Golden Core stage has appeared!"

"Lu Changsheng and his disciples were also seriously injured. How can you say he killed them?"

"If Lu Changsheng truly possessed such ability, why would he be confined to the small Outer Immortal Academy? Why would he be over eighty years old and still not at the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"I've heard that the Inner Immortal Academy's Enforcement Hall has already inquired about this matter. Since they didn't arrest Lu Changsheng, it proves that this has nothing to do with him. Otherwise, given the ruthless nature of those in the Enforcement Hall, they would have brought Lu Changsheng to justice long ago!"

"Yes, that makes sense! That makes sense!"

......

"roll!"

"If you don't believe me, then get out of here!"

Mu Feng flew into a rage, kicked over the brazier, and pointed at the elders in front of him, cursing loudly:

"My son will not have died in vain! My son will absolutely not have died in vain!"

As he spoke, his spiritual power erupted instantly, and the pressure of a Golden Core cultivator swept across the surroundings.

In an instant, a strong wind arose, scattering the incense, candles, paper money, and funeral banners in the mourning hall.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"We shouldn't provoke him while he's grieving the loss of his son!"

"Why!!"

......

The Grand Elder shook his head, then led the other elders away from the mourning hall. They knew that Mu Feng wouldn't listen to anything they said at this point.

Some things can only be left to time.

After everyone had left, looking at the mess on the ground, Mu Feng lay on the coffin and wailed loudly.

Only he knew in his heart that Mu Changming's death was inextricably linked to Lu Changsheng.

The reason was simple: Mu Changming accepted the mission to wipe out the Tongtian Bandits on his orders, and then seized the opportunity to kill Lu Changsheng.

But now...

It wasn't Lu Changsheng who died, but Mu Changming.

Although Mu Feng didn't believe that a Qi Refining stage cultivator could defeat a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, his son was indeed dead.

Regardless of whether there is such a thing as a great demon or a so-called Taiyin poisonous spider.

Mu Changming is dead, so Lu Changsheng cannot live!

"My son! Just wait!"

"I know you don't care for these paper money and incense sticks. I know what you really want!"

Mu Feng's face was grim, his murderous aura palpable:

"I won't keep you waiting long! I won't keep you waiting long!!"

......

As the golden sun climbed up the windowsill and shone into the room, Princess Taiping's eyelids twitched slightly.

Before long, this stunningly beautiful woman opened her sleepy eyes, yawning and stretching.

Her proud breasts, slender waist, and snow-white skin were on full display at this moment.

"Huh? Sen...senpai~ don't look~"

When Princess Taiping realized that Lu Changsheng was staring at her body, she blushed instantly and quickly turned away.

"..."

Lu Changsheng, his mouth slightly agape, had been busy all night. He was staring blankly out the window when Princess Taiping suddenly stood up and stretched, blocking his view...

How did it become that I peeked?

Lu Changsheng wanted to explain, but he was already so old and didn't care about such empty fame. Explaining for so long would be a waste of breath, so he might as well just let things be.

Lu Changsheng's eyes then fell on Princess Taiping again. How come he hadn't noticed before that this girl had a pretty good figure? A slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Being so beautiful, isn't it all for people to look at?"

"S-senpai, you're so mean~"

Princess Taiping blushed. She... she never imagined that Lu Changsheng, at such an advanced age, would still...

But he was clearly doing *that* with Mo Rou yesterday, and today he's praising himself for being beautiful.

He's old in years but young at heart!

"Senior, how... how's your Foundation Establishment Pill refining going?"

Princess Taiping, blushing under Lu Changsheng's gaze and eager to change the subject, remembered the Foundation Establishment Pill and quickly spoke up:

"Even those Golden Core cultivators cannot refine Foundation Establishment Pills without Moon Essence and Dewdrop. Senior, you don't need to blame yourself or be discouraged."

"Moonlight Dewdrops are very rare, but the Inner Immortal Academy and the True Immortal Academy must sell them. I'll buy them today..."

Swish! !

Princess Taiping was unable to finish her sentence, her mouth agape.

Because Lu Changsheng extended his right hand towards Princess Taiping, and three exceptionally round Foundation Establishment Pills lay quietly in his palm.

"These three Foundation Establishment Pills are for you. With these three pills, you will successfully establish your foundation once you break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining!"

He gave himself all three Foundation Establishment Pills?

Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment, remembering that she had only managed to buy three Moon Dewdrops yesterday. Did that mean...?

If all the Foundation Establishment Pills that were refined were given to myself, how would the senior be able to sell them?

"Senior, I haven't broken through to the tenth level of Qi Refining yet, there's no rush!"

"Sell these three Foundation Establishment Pills first, and I'll use the proceeds to buy Moon Dewdrops from the Inner Immortal Academy. Then you can refine more..."

Princess Taiping was interrupted by Lu Changsheng before she could finish speaking.

"Why bother with further training? I've been training all night; I need a good night's sleep!"

As he spoke, Lu Changsheng casually pointed, and Princess Taiping subconsciously looked in the direction he pointed.

wow——

Ten Foundation Establishment Pills lay quietly in the corner of the table, radiating golden halos under the sunlight.

"Foundation Building Pills? Ten of them!!"

"Senior, you succeeded?"

The Moon Dewdrop only purchased three plants, but now there are a total of thirteen Foundation Establishment Pills, which means...

"Without moonlight and dew, you actually managed to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill? Heavens! This is unbelievable..."

Lu Changsheng yawned, waved his hand, and pointed to the corner behind Princess Taiping.

In the dark corner, ten more Foundation Establishment Pills lay quietly.

"..."

Princess Taiping was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

But what shocked her was far from over.

Lu Changsheng pointed to the floor under the bed, where ten more Foundation Establishment Pills rolled onto the floorboards.

"There are ten more under the table. Remember to pick them up later and wipe off the dust so they'll sell better."

"..."

Ten after ten!

Ten more, then ten more!!

Including the three in Lu Changsheng's palm, there are a total of forty-three Foundation Establishment Pills!

Those Foundation Establishment Pills that other disciples dreamed of but could not obtain were, in Lu Changsheng's eyes, ordinary things, which he discarded casually.

This is absolutely amazing!

It wasn't that Lu Changsheng was sloppy; he had carefully preserved the Foundation Establishment Pills he initially refined, but the more he refined them, the more Foundation Establishment Pills he produced.

With nowhere else to put it, I had no choice but to throw it on the ground.

However, a little dust does not affect the efficacy of the medicine.

Lu Changsheng was only thinking about refining as many Foundation Establishment Pills as possible to exchange for spirit stones and awaken the Devouring Heaven Cauldron; he didn't have time to pick them up one by one from the ground.

Such a trivial matter is naturally best left to Princess Taiping and Mo Rou.

As if remembering something, Lu Changsheng forcefully shoved the pill in his hand into Princess Taiping's hand, then waved his hand and collapsed onto the bed.

"These three Foundation Establishment Pills have been enhanced with Moon Essence Dew, making them even more effective. Keep them for when you establish your foundation."

Lu Changsheng was exhausted. He had been refining Foundation Establishment Pills all night, especially since the energy was not being combined with Moon Essence Dew, which could easily cause the pills to break and the furnace to explode. He couldn't afford to be distracted for even a moment.

All he wants to do right now is get a good night's sleep and not worry about anything else.

"..."

Looking at Lu Changsheng, who fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed, Princess Taiping clenched the three Foundation Establishment Pills in her palm, and then smiled sweetly.

He then carefully picked up all the Foundation Establishment Pills scattered on the ground, closed the door, and headed straight for the alchemy hall of the outer immortal academy.

Although the sun had just risen, the alchemy hall of the Outer Immortal Academy was already packed with people, with long queues forming.

Unfortunately, pills are disposable items, unlike magic weapons, which can be used indefinitely once purchased as long as they are not damaged.

Outer disciples who have not yet established their foundation have weak spiritual energy and need to carry with them pills such as Spirit Cleansing Pills, Rejuvenating Pills, and Detoxifying Pills when carrying out missions.

Alchemists are extremely rare, and even in a sacred place like Shangyun Heavenly Palace, pills are priceless.

To purchase the necessary pills in a short time, one often has to get up very early and queue in the alchemy room, otherwise they will be sold out long ago.

This applies to ordinary elixirs, and even more so to the particularly precious Foundation Building Elixir.

"Today, the Alchemy Hall is selling 100,000 Qingling Pills, 50,000 Huiyuan Pills, 50,000 Jiedu Pills, and 10,000 Huli Pills..."

Princess Taiping had barely squeezed into the alchemy hall when she heard the elder in charge of selling pills shout loudly:

"A thousand Fire Element Pills! A thousand Water Element Pills! Foundation Establishment Pills... ten!"

wow——

As soon as the elder finished speaking, the disciples watching erupted in a commotion!

"Elder Qu, what's going on? Why are the pills becoming fewer and fewer?"

"Why are there only 100,000 Qingling Pills? And only... only 10 Foundation Establishment Pills!"

"We've been stuck at the peak of the Qi Refining stage for years, unable to establish our foundation. Why doesn't the sect supply more Foundation Establishment Pills?"

"Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for us? Aren't we outer disciples human beings too?"

.......

A daily supply of 100,000 Qingling Pills may seem like a lot, but there are over 200,000 outer disciples of the Northern Palace alone.

There are only ten Foundation Establishment Pills available; the scarcity of Foundation Establishment Pills cannot be described as "too many monks and too little porridge".

"So noisy!"

Elder Quhe let out a cold snort, and his terrifying Golden Core cultivation erupted instantly. The alchemy hall, which was chaotic just a moment ago, became completely silent the next moment, with all the disciples so quiet that they didn't dare to relax.

"It's not that the sect is intentionally making things difficult; it's just that alchemists are extremely scarce."

"Alchemists with too low a cultivation level cannot refine this Foundation Establishment Pill, and alchemists with high cultivation level disdain to refine it, so it is naturally extremely rare."

Elder Quhe sighed and said helplessly:

"Besides, all the elders of the Alchemy Hall were summoned by the Palace Master today for matters to discuss. They will be available in a few days..."

"Alright, the top ten participants are limited to purchasing one Foundation Establishment Pill each, with each pill priced at one thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

As soon as Elder Quhe finished speaking, the first ten disciples in line snapped up all the Foundation Establishment Pills.

As for pills such as Qingling Pill, Huiyuan Pill, and Jiedu Pill, they are not that scarce. Although there are quite a few buyers, it is far from the point of frantic buying.

"The Foundation Establishment Pills are sold out for today. Please come back to queue tomorrow. Leave now!"

Looking at the huge crowd, Elder Quhe sighed and waved his hand.

As an elder of the sect, he also wanted to sell more Foundation Establishment Pills to help these outer disciples establish their foundations and strengthen the sect's power.

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice...

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Just as the dejected outer disciples were about to disperse, Princess Taiping mustered her courage, and her sweet voice struck the lake like a thunderclap:

"I...I have Foundation Establishment Pills here, does anyone need them?"
