Chapter 293
293 Single ice spiritual root
Yun Xuan had waited on Yuyan mountain for six months before he finally saw Lu chaoxi.
Lu chaoxi did not deliberately give him the cold shoulder. He was really at an important juncture in his cultivation. The first stage of refining the external elixir was just a little bit away from the last stage, so it was not good to stop.
Lu chaoxi’s first words when he met Yun Xuan were an apology.
Yun Xuan was fine. I’ve been living quite comfortably on Yuyan mountain for the past six months. I’ve been eating and drinking a lot. I hope you don’t blame me, Junior Brother Lu.
hahaha, if senior brother yunxuan can come and visit often, this little bit of food is not a big deal. The Lu family will not be bad at hosting their guests.
The atmosphere between the two of them was quite harmonious.
It was hard to imagine how bad the relationship between the two sides had been before the Battle of the North barren forest started.
Fortunately, back then, the two sides had not reached the point of directly falling out, so there was still room for turning things around.
After the initial small talk, Yun Xuan quickly explained his purpose for coming to Yuyan mountain.
I’ve already made preparations before I reach the Golden core stage. I’m still lacking one herb. I need a hundred echo leaves. I heard that the Lu family has planted it in their herb garden, so I’m here to shamelessly purchase it.
These words were actually all excuses.
The hundred leaves of echo was a fourth-grade herb. It was indeed very precious. It had a very good effect of nourishing the meridians for high-level cultivators. One stalk would cost six to seven thousand spirit stones.
However, there was nothing rare or precious about it. With Yun Xuan’s current status and resources, it was actually very easy for him to get a stalk of hundred echo leaves. There was no need for him to come all the way to Yuyan mountain and wait six months just to buy this herb.
His words were only to express one meaning to the Lu family: I’m going to advance to Jindan, do you support me?
Sell me the hundred leaves of echo. I’ll go back and make preparations. I’m about to start my breakthrough. If he didn’t support or sell it, then Xuanji yunxuan would have to think about it again.
His expression was still very calm, but in fact, he was already very nervous.
It was reasonable to say that in a hundred years of cultivation, cultivators should be able to cultivate well and have a normal heart for everything. However, hundreds of years of cultivation was only to be able to go one step further on the immortal path. The great threshold of Jindan had already opened up a ray of light in front of Yun Xuan. All he had to do was wait for the person in front of him to nod and he would be able to break through without any scruples.
This was a decision that would decide his entire cultivation life. Facing such a moment, how could he not feel worried and uneasy?
He watched as Lu chaoxi picked up a cup from the coffee table, blew on it gently, and took a small sip.
Yun Xuan’s heart followed Lu chaoxi’s every move.
This kind of feeling was already very unfamiliar. He even felt that he had never encountered such a situation in his life.
In the end, Lu chaoxi’s words put his heart at ease.
“Senior yunxuan is about to break through to the Golden core stage. This is a great thing for the entire cultivation world of the Feiyun state. with senior brother yunxuan’s request and his sincerity in coming to Yuyan mountain, our Lu family will definitely support you. That hundred echo leaves will mature in two months. At that time, senior Brother Yun Xuan can just take it directly, and there’s no need to talk about spirit stones.”
Suppressing his excitement, Yun Xuan cupped his fists and said, ” “Many thanks.”
“Senior yunxuan, you’re too polite.” Lu chaoxi also smiled and said, ” there are still two months left. Why don’t you stay on Yuyan mountain and be a guest for another two months? ” The cultivation facilities of our Lu clan are quite different from those of the Qingfeng sect. Senior brother, you can experience it here and give our Lu clan some suggestions.”
“You’re too kind, Junior Brother Lu,”
by the way, Qianqian, ” Lu chaoxi added, ” there are many outstanding juniors in the Lu family. If senior brother yunxuan doesn’t have much to do in the next two months, can you give us some pointers? ” If there’s someone that catches your eye and you take them as your disciple, that would be the best.”
Yun Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. sure, ” he replied. it’s an honor to be able to take a son of the Lu family as my disciple.
The reason why he heaved a sigh of relief was because he was glad that it was to take in a disciple and not a marriage alliance.
When he first saw Li Yanling, he had envied her for a moment. He had thought that if he married into the Lu family, would he be able to get a lot of support?
However, it was only a thought. At most, it was just an impulse. He had never really wanted to turn this into a reality.
If he did that, how could he face his master, Kong Tong, who had raised him up?
Before Kong Tong died, he had left behind a will for Yun Xuan to take good care of the poor disciples of the sect.
His master had told him to make sure that Kong Tong had a good relationship with the Lu family. Even if yunxuan had reached the Golden core stage, no one in the Feiyun state could stop the Lu family.
However, this so-called good relationship was not to let yunxuan become a live-in son-in-law of the Lu family. Once he entered, he was indeed liberated and instantly became a part of the Lu family. With the accumulation of all kinds of resources, it was easy for him to reach the Golden core stage. However, he had become a live-in son-in-law. How could he fulfill his master’s last wish of ‘taking care of the humble class’ before his death?
Did anyone really think that he could still maintain his identity as a humble family member after becoming a live-in son-in-law of the Lu family and receiving the full support of the Lu family? In the sect, when they encountered something that was beneficial to the humble class but could possibly lose the Lu family’s interests, how could he maintain his attitude of supporting the humble class?
He had already made up his mind to reject Lu chaoxi’s proposal if he wanted to marry into his family.
But fortunately, there was no need for marriage.
However, it was not a big problem to take in a disciple.
Of course, he would teach her well, but most importantly, this was only in name.
However, after staying in the Lu clan for two months and spending time with many young cultivators of the new generation of the Lu clan, he was surprised to find that these young cultivators of the new generation of the Lu clan were too talented.
Among the cultivators below the age of thirty-five, he had seen no less than twenty people with double spiritual roots!
More importantly, there were not many cultivators in this generation of the Lu family!
Moreover, it was not only the double spiritual roots that were more common. More than half of the cultivators with double spiritual roots directly had the lightning spiritual root!
Was the Lu family blessed by the Thunder God?
With such a large proportion of people with double spiritual roots appearing, it was highly possible that there were cultivators with single spiritual roots among the younger generation of the Lu clan below the age of 35, or even more than one!
Why were the younger generation of their family so talented?
This is also awkward.
He didn’t know what to say.
……
Yun Xuan’s guess was correct. There were indeed cultivators with a single spiritual root among the cultivators under the age of 35 in the Lu clan.
One of them had an Ice Spirit root and two of them had a lightning spirit root.
In fact, the three of them only had double spiritual roots when they first started with the initial spiritual roots. However, in Lu Qing’s hands, all of his initial talents could be raised to a higher level. As soon as the [ spiritual root enhancement ] option appeared, his double spiritual root immediately became a single spiritual root.
Even so, Lu Qing still felt a little dissatisfied. He had always been thinking about when the clan would be able to produce a cultivator with a single spiritual root. He still had a few high-level [ spiritual root enhancement ] cards in his hand. As long as such a talented cultivator appeared, he could directly upgrade his spiritual root to the heaven spiritual root!
Unfortunately, that never happened.
In reality, the person that the Lu family really wanted to push to Yun Xuan was the child with the ice Spirit root.
That kid’s name was Lu Qixing, a member of the Lu family’s Qi generation. He was Lu Wenhu’s eldest son. His grandfather was Lu Mingjie, his great-grandfather was Lu tingying, and his great-grandfather was Lu chaoling.
In fact, Qi Xing’s father and grandfather were both working in the family’s workshop. His grandfather, Lu Mingjie, was the most powerful weapon refinement master in the Lu clan, other than patriarch Lu Qing. His great-grandfather, Lu tingying, was one of the earliest foundation building cultivators in the clan. He died in battle for the clan during the demonic uprising 70 years ago.
In other words, Morning Star was a true star.
Initially, according to his father, Lu Wenhu, Lu chaoling had been the one responsible for the forging skills of the family. His own son, if nothing unexpected happened, would also take this path. He hoped that his son would be able to detect a fire or metal spiritual root. That would be the best.
In the end, there were only so many accidents in Huanhuan’s life. His son’s most primitive talent was the double spiritual roots. Moreover, this mutated spiritual root was not the most common lightning attribute in the family, but an ice-cold one.
Lu Qing upgraded his spiritual root. As expected, after it became a single spiritual root, he kept the ice spiritual root.
The Lu family also had a headache.
Of course, it was good to have a single spiritual root. However, there had never been a cultivator with an ice spiritual root in the Lu clan since Lu Qing’s birth. Thus, there was naturally no inheritance in this area.
The cultivation technique problem could be considered easy to solve. He could just get one from the sect. In fact, the cultivation technique of little initial star cultivator was obtained from the sect.
However, on the path of progress, a good teacher and helpful friends were also indispensable.
In the entire Feiyun state, who else could compare to Yun Xuan’s attainments in ice attribute cultivation techniques?
For Lu Qixing to be able to enter Yun Xuan’s tutelage was, of course, an extremely good thing for his personal development.
Since the Lu family was going to allow Xu yunxuan to advance to the Golden core stage, they might as well go with the flow and use this as a condition for Qi Xing to successfully enter the sect.
Having a future Jindan stage expert as a master was not a disgrace to Qi Xing’s talent at all.
As for allowing Xu yunxuan to reach the Golden core stage, it was a decision made by the Lu family’s decision-makers after some discussion.
Lu Qing actually had the same intention.
Since he had already adjusted his strategy to allow the sect to grow, it would naturally be best for the sect to become stronger.
Even if Yun Xuan had advanced to the Golden core stage, it would be impossible to shake the Lu family’s dominance in the Qingfeng sect.
Furthermore, after taking advantage of the situation, the Lu family had given him a hundred echo leaves worth six to seven thousand spirit stones for free. Yun Xuan would have to accept this favor.
This would be beneficial for the Lu family to increase its influence in the sect.
Moreover, there was still the master-disciple relationship.
Yun Xuan was quite fond of this disciple of his.
It was actually very rare for cultivators with single spiritual roots to encounter a junior with the same attribute talent as them. This child could really inherit his legacy.
For the vast majority of cultivators, their own cultivation base was always the most important. And after that, the inheritance was also a very important matter. You can’t see that many people, even those with profound cultivation base, wish to find a good disciple before their death.
