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

The Devouring Heaven Cauldron, as a divine artifact, was originally used for refining elixirs.

Therefore, with him around, the difficulty of alchemy will naturally be greatly reduced.

In addition, the Foundation Establishment Pill is not a difficult pill to refine.

Now it's all a natural progression.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng no longer hesitated.

He formed a hand seal and his mind stirred.

He then used his spiritual power to select the herbs needed for twelve prescriptions from the hundreds of spiritual herbs sent by Princess Taiping.

At this moment, he activated his spiritual power, and all the herbs were rolled into the cauldron.

Inside the cauldron, dark blue flames surged and churned.

There was absolutely no need for Lu Changsheng to do anything unnecessary.

In the blink of an eye, twelve Foundation Establishment Pills had already taken shape in the cauldron.

At first glance, the patterns on the pills resembled dragons, each one radiating a star-like halo.

Absolutely superb! The absolute best of the best!

But Lu Changsheng was still not satisfied.

He first bit his tongue, then spat out a mouthful of blood!

"puff!"

"With the fire of my life, I ignite this soul!"

The instant the essence blood entered the cauldron, the twelve pills hovering at the bottom of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron instantly merged into one.

Looking up, the object had transformed into a strange pill that was entirely black with golden lightning patterns floating on its surface.

"The Heaven-Devouring Foundation Establishment Pill!"

This is the name Lu Changsheng gave it, and only Lu Changsheng can use it.

"Take it! This stuff is most effective now; its potency will be greatly reduced if you wait too long!"

Fearing that things might go wrong, the Devouring Cauldron shouted sternly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng naturally dared not be negligent.

He grabbed the pill, tilted his head back, and swallowed it whole.

You should know that this thing contains the medicinal power of twelve Foundation Establishment Pills.

So, how could it be so easy to swallow?

boom!!!

The instant the pill went down, an indescribable, excruciating pain exploded from my dantian!

In an instant, it felt as if millions of steel needles were piercing my meridians at the same time.

And that's not even the scariest part.

The most terrifying thing is the power of the elixir, which pierces straight into the soul.

The human soul is the most fragile thing; if you're not careful, you can turn into an idiot.

But now, it's as if someone is holding an axe and hacking at Lu Changsheng's soul.

If he weren't mentally strong, he would have gone crazy long ago.

Looking at him now, one could see that his eyes were bloodshot and blood was flowing from his seven orifices.

His entire body was so hunched over that it was unrecognizable.

Five breaths passed in this manner.

The voice of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron came again.

"Summon heavenly lightning! Open the earth's veins!"

The Devouring Heaven Cauldron roared, finally restoring some of Lu Changsheng's clarity.

He forced himself to sit up and then slammed his palm down on the ground.

Bang!

The illusory Devouring Cauldron flew out in response, its mouth facing the sky and its bottom touching the ground.

The runes on the cauldron shone even brighter.

The human form that the Devouring Heaven Cauldron transformed into raised a finger.

Lu Changsheng then slowly fell into the cauldron.

Then, a snap!

A bolt of purple lightning struck down from the heavens.

The lightning bolt first cleaved through the formation, and then burst through the roof.

He plunged headfirst into the house.

The cleavage struck precisely at the mouth of the cauldron!

At the same time, the Devouring Cauldron unleashed a tremendous suction force, drawing in a dragon vein energy from deep underground that surged into the bottom of the cauldron!

This is precisely the tempering of the body by thunder and fire, and the nourishment of the soul by dragon energy.

Lu Changsheng floated above the cauldron, his physical body being scorched by heavenly lightning and earthly fire, disintegrating inch by inch, and then being reborn again.

Each collapse removes a portion of the mortal body and impure bones; each rebirth forges a portion of the sacred foundation.

In the courtyard, Princess Taiping suddenly turned her head.

Above the small house, the thunderclouds were as dark as ink, and lightning bolts crisscrossed.

Even more frightening was that the earth's veins throughout the entire back mountain were trembling slightly.

The grass and trees move sway without wind, and the stream flows backward!

Upon seeing this, Princess Taiping's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

"Senior... what on earth is he doing?!"

"It's just Foundation Establishment, why is it attracting such a huge commotion?"

These questions made Princess Taiping feel anxious and uneasy.

Fortunately, she did not forget her duty and remained firmly guarding the door, not daring to leave without permission.

Looking inside the house.

Lightning and earth vein dragon energy surged and flowed, enveloping Lu Changsheng tightly in the center.

Lu Changsheng floated inside the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, his physical body constantly disintegrating and reshaping, each shattering accompanied by the sound of bones exploding.

The crackling sound sent chills down one's spine.

In fact, the Devouring Cauldron also understood that this kind of pain was no less than being dismembered or skinned.

Without great perseverance and unwavering determination, Lu Changsheng would absolutely not have been able to endure it.

Hang in there!

"Boy, this is the crucial moment. If you can't hold on, you'll suffer a complete loss of your soul and spirit, and be doomed forever!"

"Think about it, after more than eighty years of being a coward, are you content with that?!"

Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth, and blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth.

Holding on to his last breath, he forced his bent back to straighten.

Damn it, it's all time travel. I time-traveled here myself and have been a coward for eighty years.

What you love, you cannot have; what you desire, you cannot obtain.

Today we finally have a chance to turn things around.

He just died like that?

Screw you, you think you can kill me? Not so easy!

Eighty years of humiliation, eighty years of forbearance, all rested on this foundation-building stage. If it fails, then die! If it succeeds, then defy fate!

"I...can...keep going!"

Lu Changsheng roared and fiercely formed hand seals.

Boom!

As Lu Changsheng formed the hand seals, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly contracted.

Then it transformed directly into a purple-gold lightning pillar, and with a bang, it poured into Lu Changsheng's crown chakra!

The earth's dragon energy, like an angry dragon soaring into the sky, tightly coiled around Lu Changsheng's limbs and bones.

Thunder and fire burn away impurities, and dragon energy nourishes the meridians.

As for the "Heaven-Devouring Foundation Building Pill" that was swallowed into the stomach...

At this moment, its medicinal power finally erupted.

The twelvefold power of Foundation Establishment, ignited by Lu Changsheng's life fire, surged entirely into his dantian!

"Foundation Building, complete it!!"

A long howl shattered the roof tiles!

In an instant, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.

Dozens of strangely colored rays of light shot into the sky from Lu Changsheng's Heavenly Spirit Acupoint.

Red, blue, black, white, yellow... the five elements of light swirl and intertwine, and then blend into purple, gold, silver, colorless and other exotic colors, like a divine chain hanging down from the heavens, straight through the clouds!

Lu Changsheng himself possesses all spiritual roots.

Therefore, he can utilize the spiritual energy of this place.

At this moment, he was like a bottomless pit, as if he were absorbing all the spiritual energy in the world.

In an instant, his aura surged.

Early stage of foundation building... Middle stage...

"Kid, don't be careless! Watch out for heavenly lightning!"

With the reminder from the Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

Sure enough, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly condensed into a giant eye.

The giant eye coldly surveyed the ground.

Lu Changsheng raised his head and directly met the heavenly lightning.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were filled with madness and excitement.

"Damn it! Come on! I've lived like a dog for eighty years, do you think I'm afraid of your lightning strike?!"

Click!

The heavenly lightning seemed to have heard Lu Changsheng's provocation and struck down fiercely once again!

This time, the lightning was as thick as an ancient tree, with purple and gold intertwined within, resembling a ferocious beast, and was extremely terrifying!

Lu Changsheng's expression was solemn; his life or death hung in the balance.

"Old Tun, are you ready?"

The Devouring Cauldron was stunned after hearing this.

"Hey? Explain yourself, what am I preparing?"

Lu Changsheng didn't waste any words.

He formed a hand seal and then let out a loud shout.

"swallow!"

At the critical moment, the Devouring Cauldron shifted half an inch to the side, and then forcefully cut off most of the purple-gold lightning pillar!

boom!

Lightning exploded, the phantom of the Devouring Cauldron shook violently, and the golden patterns on the cauldron instantly dimmed by 30%.

"Kid, the rest... is up to you!"

This attack clearly severely injured the Devouring Heaven Cauldron as well.

The remaining lightning, though only 30% of its original power, was still as violent as a dragon.

"Well done!"

Lu Changsheng neither dodged nor avoided, but opened his arms and let the lightning and fire penetrate his body!

In an instant, his skin and flesh were charred black, and his meridians were severed.

Just when he was about to perish, the spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Pills pulled him back again, and the lingering lightning intertwined with the remaining pill power.

They actually forcibly reshaped Lu Changsheng's bones and muscles.

pain!

This pain is worse than having your bones torn apart and your skin peeled off!

But after the pain subsided, he discovered that his body was like a piece of jade, without any impurities.

Even their souls were cleansed by the thunderous intent until they were as clear as a mirror.

"It's time to condense the core!"

With a low roar, a cyan pill slowly solidified in Lu Changsheng's dantian.

This pill lays the foundation for the future Golden Elixir.

Once the pill is completed, it will be enough to prove that Lu Changsheng has entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

At this moment, golden lightning patterns faintly appeared on the surface of the pill.

This is clearly one of the benefits of Thunder Tempering.

Although Lu Changsheng has not yet reached the Great Perfection, he has already steadily stepped into the fifth level of Foundation Establishment!

At this moment, his aura surged, and he absorbed all the remaining spiritual mist in the room into his body.

The thunderclouds dispersed, and the rosy glow faded.

Lu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes.

Go now

The world is different now.

He could hear the sound of ants crawling a hundred paces away, and could even sense Princess Taiping's rapid heartbeat as she stood outside the door.

On the other hand, the spiritual energy emanating from his dantian was surging like a river, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength.

This feeling is like going back to when I was in my forties.

He looked down at his hands.

"This is... the fifth level of Foundation Establishment?"

Before Lu Changsheng could gloat for long...

Then they saw the Devouring Heaven Cauldron weakly shrink back into the dantian.

Its voice was weak and feeble:

"You brat... you're fucking tough."

"If I hadn't taken seventy percent of the damage for you, you would have been reduced to ashes long ago."

"Damn it, that almost shattered the patterns on my cauldron..."

"Thanks, Old Tun."

Lu Changsheng knew, of course, that he had acted somewhat unfairly just now.

But when faced with life and death, how can one care about so much?

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and adjust your breathing. Your Holy Body is only just beginning to take shape, and your foundation is still unstable. Don't get carried away."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He quickly sat down cross-legged, drawing upon the remaining thunderous intent and earth vein power within his body to slowly nourish his dantian.

However, at that moment, Princess Taiping suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in.

Lu Changsheng was taken aback.

The thunder from the heavens didn't even disturb Bai Xue, so what's wrong with her?
