Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

However, these skeletons appeared to be mainly demon bones, with only a few cultivator skeletons mixed in among the hundred-plus corpses.

In fact, the difference between cultivators and ordinary people can be seen from the remains of cultivators.

The bones of cultivators are as clear as jade. The higher the cultivation level, the better the bone quality. They are not necessarily incorruptible for thousands of years, but they are not something that can be eroded by ordinary water, soil, or mosquitoes.

Lu Yang unfurled the Thousand Soul Banner and controlled Lin Chuang to examine the bones on the ground. In the cultivation world, the resurrection of corpses was not uncommon.

Spiritual practice is inherently difficult; without a cautious mind, how can it last?

Fortunately, Lin Chuang searched around and found nothing unusual. It seemed that these corpses were definitely dead. Of course, since the cultivator was building his blood foundation, he couldn't leave any hidden dangers behind.

Forget about resurrection; they won't even be able to retain a trace of their soul.

Passing over layers of corpses, Lin Chuang slowly approached the cultivator's remains.

Jade bones giving rise to gold—this is an omen of imminent foundation building, what a pity.

Like the skeletons in the blood pool, that cultivator was also dead beyond any doubt.

Only after confirming there was no danger did Lu Yang step forward.

Lu Yang had just scanned the cultivator with his divine sense. The most valuable items on the cultivator were the futon he was sitting on, the Yin Soul Wood in his arms, and the storage bag that had fallen to his feet.

He stepped forward with his sword, lifted the cultivator's body, and placed it directly into the blood pool. He then threw a small spirit flame spell into the blood pool, and rolling flames immediately ignited.

It's a pity that the skeletons have no memory; otherwise, those skeletons in the blood pool would probably be fighting this cultivator to the death right now.

A superior Buddhist artifact: a meditation cushion for enlightenment!

Lu Yang picked up the futon, feeling the energy within it. His heart burned with excitement. What a treasure! A magic artifact for enlightenment. Even if it's only a high-grade magic artifact, it can sell for the price of a top-grade magic artifact.

Moreover, it's not the price of a typical top-grade magic weapon. After all, such magic weapons are extremely rare. Even top-grade first-level weapon refiners can rarely refine a high-grade enlightenment futon.

Moreover, the materials for crafting the Enlightenment Futon are already hard to find; even at some large auction houses, such precious materials are priceless and unavailable.

This is great stuff!

I don't know how this guy managed to collect all these things, including Yin Soul Wood, Enlightenment Futon, and Demonic Blood Foundation Technique, but even so, he still failed to establish his foundation!

Is Foundation Building really that difficult?

After a moment of silence, Lu Yang opened the storage bag, looked at its contents, and fell silent again.

There were only two books in the entire storage bag.

"Blood Demon Skill", "Qingxi Notes".

Familiar words appeared before Lu Yang's eyes, "Is it that Blood Demon Technique?"

The first demonic cultivation technique Lu Yang obtained was the "Blood Demon Technique," but that technique could only be cultivated up to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

However, this one was different. Lu Yang glanced through the Blood Demon Technique in front of him. In addition to the cultivation method for the twelfth level of Qi Refining, there was also the Blood Demon Foundation Building Method, which was the so-called Blood Foundation Forging Method.

Take the essence and blood of 108 living beings, use the spirit as a guide, the qi as a root, and the blood as a foundation to form a low-grade demonic foundation.

Low grade magic base!

It turns out that the Foundation Establishment that this cultivator had been so eagerly pursuing was actually just a low-grade Demon Foundation, and most importantly, it hadn't been completed yet.

Opening the book "Qingxi Notes," a delicate fragrance wafted out. This cultivator is quite extravagant, actually using calming incense to permeate the pages.

Tranquilizing Incense is an incense made from first-grade spiritual wood called Tranquilizing Wood. Lighting one during cultivation can help concentrate the mind, and it is beneficial for both improving one's skills and comprehending the Dharma.

The only downside is that it's expensive.

A single stick of calming incense can only be used once, yet it costs two hundred spirit stones. For cultivators, the calming incense certainly has an effect, but whether it is better or worse compared to two hundred spirit stones is truly a matter of opinion.

Many cultivators felt that this calming incense was not as practical as buying a spiritual medicine.

This cultivator clearly lit a calming incense stick every time he wrote his notes, which is why the fragrance of the calming incense still lingers in this book of Qingxi Notes even after so long.

The path of spiritual practice lies in reviewing the old to gain new insights. I call myself Qingxi, and I wish to use this book to bear witness to this life.

I was born during a time of war and had to beg for a living. At the age of twelve, I was rescued by an old Taoist priest, and I began cultivating under his guidance. Despite having the potential for all five spiritual roots, I have been cultivating aimlessly for thirty years, only reaching the second level of Qi Refining.

My master taught me to cultivate the Tao and my mind, but he also led me into this magnificent world of cultivation, letting me know that above Qi Refining there is Foundation Establishment, above Foundation Establishment there is Golden Core, and above Golden Core...

Having seen the prospect of immortality, how could one be content without seeking it?

After the old Taoist priest died, I wandered far and wide, only to be targeted by the Blood Demon Palace. They planted a blood mark on me, making me a blood servant, and forced me to plunder and seize blood for the Blood Demon Palace.

[It was only after cultivating the Blood Demon Art that I finally saw my path to immortality: devouring the essence and blood of living beings to form the foundation of my demonic bloodline.]

That was the first time I killed one of my own kind. I trembled as I refined its essence blood. It was also that time that I broke through the third level of Qi Refining, a level I had been unable to reach for so long. I never knew cultivation could be so simple!

[The demonic path is poisonous, it has captivated me, and I have been unable to stop. From then on, I began to slaughter living beings and refine their essence and blood. However, I always remembered my master's teachings and never killed the innocent. So, apart from killing cultivators who offended me, I only slaughtered demonic beasts to cultivate.]

Gradually, I became unwilling to be controlled by the Blood Seal, so I handed over most of my Blood Harvest to the Blood Demon Palace. Heaven had eyes, and the Blood Demon Palace was actually destroyed. I was free.

……

After a hundred years of cultivation, my lifespan is coming to an end, but my luck seems to be getting better and better. I have obtained the Yin Soul Wood, which is something that even Foundation Establishment cultivators dream of.

I found a superior-grade Enlightenment Futon and the cultivation method of Soul-Soothing Wood in a cultivator's storage bag. I also went to a branch hall of the Blood Demon Palace and found the Blood Demon Foundation Building method.

It must be Heaven's mercy that has given me the foundation for this foundation.

The Cultivation Method of Requiem Wood!

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow when he saw this, because Qingxi Daoist had included the cultivation method of the Soul-Soothing Wood on the next page.

This!

Lu Yang didn't know how to describe this treasure hunt. Lin Chuang was such a good person.

This was something the entire Lu family had been longing for, and now it had appeared right before his eyes.

[Who says Foundation Establishment is impossible after 60 years? I refuse to believe it. All sorts of good fortune tell me I can still give it a shot. After all, all I'm after is a low-grade magic foundation.]

Besides the Yin Soul Wood and the superior-grade Enlightenment Futon, I sold all my belongings to purchase pills and spiritual materials that would aid in Foundation Establishment. Over the course of a year, I captured 108 late-stage Qi Refining and peak-stage demonic beasts and cultivators.

Everything is ready; only the foundation needs to be laid. I am full of confidence; this time, I will surely succeed.

The Talk on the Clear Stream ended there. Lu Yang closed the book, as if to draw a final period to the life of this demonic cultivator who pursued immortality and did not abandon his original heart.

From Qingxi Daoren's writings, one can see how important it is to have a good mentor. Lu Yang felt that when he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he would have killed more cultivators than Qingxi Daoren.

So from this perspective, Qingxi Daoren truly did not abandon his original intention.

"A lifetime of cultivation requires seizing every moment!"

Lu Yang put away Qingxi Bitan, sighed, and said that the age of sixty is indeed sixty. For cultivators, the age of sixty is like a curse.

At least in the five hundred years since the Lu family was founded, no member of the family has ever broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage after the age of sixty.

The Daoist Qingxi is the best example. The Yin Soul Wood, the superior Enlightenment Futon, and the cultivation method of the Tranquil Wood—each of these things is of extraordinary value and greatly beneficial to breakthroughs. With all these things combined, he still couldn't obtain a first-grade Demonic Foundation.

After scanning the cave and finding no other valuable items, Lu Yang didn't linger. After leaving the cave, he dug out the flag of the Four Spirits Profound Yin Formation and took it with him.
