Chapter 148: If You’re Not Satisfied, Have a Few Kids
A few days later, the sky cleared and the clouds and rain stopped.
“Ah~”
Lu Changsheng sat up.
He took out three pills and swallowed them, holding two spirit stones in his hand, and began to cultivate, absorbing a large amount of pure spiritual energy.
At the next moment, a droplet of liquid-like spiritual power, resembling a seven-colored jade, was generated in his Dantian.
It merged into the colorful pill lake.
Causing the pill lake to ripple and expand slightly.
“Wow, this effect is simply astonishing.”
“However, it seems that my dual cultivation with Xiyue also has an amplifying effect!”
Lu Changsheng was also surprised by the condensation of a droplet of liquid spiritual power within himself.
Since breaking through the Qi Refining stage and entering the Foundation Establishment stage, he had condensed a total of 100 droplets of liquid spiritual power in his pill lake.
When the total amount of liquid spiritual power reached 150 droplets, he could attempt to break through to the second stage of Foundation Establishment.
Lu Changsheng didn’t expect that his dual cultivation with Xiao Xiyue for several days would directly condense a droplet of liquid spiritual power.
This speed was truly astonishing.
“Based on my current cultivation speed, it would take me about two months to condense a droplet of liquid spiritual power.”
“So, this dual cultivation with Xiyue is equivalent to two months of bitter cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
Previously, his dual cultivation with Lu Miaoge for several days was equivalent to about half a month of bitter cultivation.
But with Xiao Xiyue, it was equivalent to two months of bitter cultivation.
This made Lu Changsheng suspect that it wasn’t just the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Base that was amplifying the effects of dual cultivation.
There was also an additional amplification effect from his dual cultivation with Xiao Xiyue.
However, he didn’t get too greedy.
The spiritual power cultivated in this way would ultimately not be as stable as the spiritual power he cultivated through steady and gradual practice.
It also required time to consolidate.
Otherwise, it would lead to a shallow foundation.
So, it was okay to indulge occasionally, treating it as a pleasure between husband and wife.
“But now that I have established my foundation, I can condense the ‘Seven Stars Heart Lamp’. This heart lamp can not only remove the poison from my body, but also calm my mind.”
“It also has the effect of burning the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, accelerating cultivation, condensing spiritual power, and improving the foundation!”
“So, it’s not a big problem to indulge occasionally.”
Lu Changsheng also thought of the Seven Stars Heart Lamp that he had been thinking about.
This lamp not only assisted in cultivation but also had combat capabilities.
It could enhance his combat power in the Foundation Establishment stage.
At this time, Xiao Xiyue also opened her eyes from her meditation, her clear and beautiful eyes gazing at Lu Changsheng with a gentle and loving expression.
The Emotional Silk Technique is not a cultivation method for absorbing essence.
It’s a superior dual cultivation method.
Not only does it benefit Lu Changsheng, but it also benefits Xiao Xiyue.
Especially after these few days of dual cultivation, Xiao Xiyue has gained a deeper understanding of the second stage of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, “Clouds have emotions, moon has emotions”.
“Xiyue, have I broken your Supreme Forgetfulness Technique again?”
Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue’s face full of tenderness and love, hugged her, and said with a smile.
He knew that Xiao Xiyue’s Supreme Forgetfulness Technique would make her lose emotions and become increasingly indifferent as she cultivated.
Although he didn’t want her to become like that.
But seeing Xiao Xiyue recover her gentle and soft demeanor after breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn’t help but worry.
Worrying that she might have some problems with her foundation or cultivation.
“Yes, in front of Changsheng, how could I achieve the Supreme Forgetfulness?”
Xiao Xiyue said quietly.
Her eyes, however, were filled with deep emotions.
It was precisely this deep emotion that damaged her foundation.
And this deep emotion, after completing the Foundation Establishment stage, began to spread again in her heart as they dual cultivated.
She didn’t suppress this emotion, letting it spread and ferment.
Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue’s demeanor and knew that she should be fine.
He then pinched her nose and lightly laughed, saying, “In that case, Xiyue, wouldn’t you have to cultivate by my side for a lifetime?”
“Yes, if I couldn’t break through the Supreme Forgetfulness, I would have to cultivate by your side for a lifetime,”
Xiao Xiyue said with a playful face, trying to appear carefree.
But her heart was trembling violently.
Realizing that breaking through the second stage of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, “Clouds have emotions, moon has emotions”, was as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
She had emotions for Lu Changsheng, but she couldn’t give up her pursuit of the Dao.
“Xiyue, since you have this heart, why bother with the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique?”
Lu Changsheng said.
This Supreme Forgetfulness Technique was indeed powerful.
But in his opinion, the side effects were too great.
Xiao Xiyue heard this and lowered her eyes, biting her lip.
She was momentarily speechless.
This Supreme Forgetfulness Technique was not like other cultivation methods that could be easily modified.
Especially since she had just broken through the Foundation Establishment stage, she would have to completely disperse her cultivation and start over if she wanted to modify it.
She was also unwilling to give up on the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique.
Because only by cultivating this Supreme Forgetfulness Technique could she walk further on the path of immortality and see a broader world in the future.
“I just said it casually, Xiyue, you don’t need to take it to heart.”
“Besides, I believe that there must be a way to achieve both goals.”
Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue’s expression, and his heart skipped a beat as he spoke in a gentle tone.
He knew that the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique was a fundamental part of Xiao Xiyue’s cultivation, and his words were forcing her to choose between her emotions and her cultivation, which was a difficult decision.
He could understand this and wouldn’t force her.
Moreover, he believed that he could find a way to achieve both goals in the future.
“I’m sorry,”
Xiao Xiyue said softly, her voice trembling slightly.
In her heart, she felt not only love but also deep guilt towards Lu Changsheng.
The more Lu Changsheng treated her with kindness, the more guilty she felt.
Because she knew that her love for Lu Changsheng was not pure.
She had also borrowed his cultivation to improve her own, and in this situation, Lu Changsheng had always been tolerant of her, giving her Foundation Establishment pills and helping her repair her foundation without seeking anything in return, which made her feel extremely guilty.
“What’s there to apologize for between us?”
“If you really can’t bear to part with me, then let’s have a few kids together.”
“It can also serve as a memento of our relationship, and I can look at the kids and remember you.”
Lu Changsheng said with a half-joking tone.
“Have kids.”
Xiao Xiyue heard this and her heart skipped a beat, her face flushing slightly.
She knew that Lu Changsheng loved kids, but she had never thought about having children before.
Or rather, most cultivators, unless they had given up on their immortal path, wouldn’t consider having children, especially someone like Xiao Xiyue, who was still in her prime and had a bright future ahead of her.
Now that Lu Changsheng had brought it up, Xiao Xiyue couldn’t help but think about it.
Thinking about leaving a child for Lu Changsheng, so that someone could accompany him when she left.
But the thought of having children also made her feel a sense of unknown fear.
She remembered what people had said when she was young, that having children was like passing through the Ghost Gate of childbirth.
She thought about it, and if she had a child, wouldn’t the child be without a mother if she wasn’t around, and wouldn’t they be bullied?
For a moment, Xiao Xiyue’s heart was racing, and her thoughts were in disarray.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Are you thinking about what to name our future child?”
Lu Changsheng asked, laughing lightly.
He looked at Xiao Xiyue’s blushing face, her expression a mix of embarrassment and complexity.
He had only jokingly suggested having a child, and didn’t really mean it.
After all, Xiao Xiyue was a Core Formation master’s disciple.
He didn’t dare to ask her to have a child with him.
“Hmph, who said I’d have a child with you?” Xiao Xiyue said, playfully hitting Lu Changsheng’s chest with her fist, her expression a mix of anger and playfulness.
Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue’s demeanor, and couldn’t help but laugh.
The two of them chatted for a while.
“I’m going to buy some things in Blue Cloud Market Town, and then head back to Qingzhu Mountain,”
Lu Changsheng said.
“Are you coming with me to Hongye Valley or not?” he asked.
Cultivating with Xiao Xiyue in Blue Cloud Market Town had been quite enjoyable.
But he was a family man, after all.
He had a family with wives and children waiting for him back home.
He had been away for over five months, and it was time to go back.
So he thought that after buying the materials for the Seven Stars Heart Lamp in Blue Cloud Market Town, he would head back to Qingzhu Mountain, or maybe Hongye Valley.
“I’ve been away for so long, and now that I’ve succeeded in Foundation Establishment, I should go back,” Xiao Xiyue said softly.
“I’ll come find you again later.”
Lu Changsheng nodded in agreement.
The two of them didn’t linger any longer.
They packed their things, cleaned up the cave, and prepared to leave.
As they left, Lu Changsheng put on his mask and magical weapons again.
Reverting to the previous disguise.
This mask was no longer the low-grade magical weapon, the Hundred Transformation Mask, that he had initially purchased. It was a high-grade magical weapon mask with similar effects.
After disguising himself, unless someone was a Foundation Establishment cultivator who could use spiritual eye techniques, it was generally impossible to see through the disguise.
Xiao Xiyue, on the other hand, had not disguised herself. She had already revealed her identity by taking out her token and renting the cave dwelling.
Moreover, her situation was different from Lu Changsheng’s, and she didn’t have any concerns about being discovered.
The two of them opened the cave dwelling, preparing to head down the mountain and return the cave dwelling.
Not far away, a young man sensed Xiao Xiyue’s presence in the cave dwelling and suddenly opened it with a loud “boom” sound.
He immediately stood up, preparing to congratulate her.
But when he saw Xiao Xiyue walking out of the cave dwelling with a plain-looking man, his expression turned cold, and his face darkened, looking quite unpleasant.
“Master Meng?”
At this time, Xiao Xiyue also saw the young man and looked surprised.
“I heard that Master Xiyue was here to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so I came to congratulate you.”
Meng Yibai looked at Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng with an expressionless face.
After speaking, he turned around, looking unhappy, and transformed into a streak of light, entering a nearby cave dwelling.
He had learned that Xiao Xiyue had rented the cave dwelling to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
And through his observation of the heavenly and earthly spiritual aura, he knew that Xiao Xiyue had successfully broken through.
So, he had been waiting outside for half a month.
He was waiting for Xiao Xiyue to come out, and then he would go congratulate her.
But he never expected that the second person to come out of the cave dwelling would be a man.
And the two of them were being so intimate.
He had previously observed the heavenly and earthly spiritual aura and guessed that there were two people breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the cave dwelling.
But he didn’t think it would be a man.
After all, Xiao Xiyue was known for being cold and aloof in the Blue Cloud Sect.
She rarely interacted with people, let alone men.
But now, the usually cold and noble Xiao Xiyue was smiling and being intimate with a man.
Thinking about the two of them not only breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage together but also living in the cave dwelling for several months…
“Bastard!”
Meng Yibai gritted his teeth and punched the wall of the cave dwelling.
He had been waiting outside for so long, thinking that he would be the first to congratulate her, and he even prepared a gift.
But the result was this scene.
At this moment, seeing this situation, the already proud and arrogant Meng Yibai couldn’t take it.
“Who is this person? Why can’t I remember anyone in the sect who is close to Master Xiyue?”
Meng Yibai thought about Lu Changsheng’s appearance, pondering in his mind.
“This man’s name is Meng Yibai, the grandson of a false core master in our sect.”
“I guess he just happened to hear that I was building my foundation in the market, so he came to congratulate me.”
Xiao Xiyue saw Meng Yibai’s unpleasant expression and directly left, explaining to avoid Lu Changsheng’s misunderstanding.
“This person must have some feelings for Xiyue.”
“Otherwise, his expression wouldn’t be so dark.”
Lu Changsheng saw this scene and lightly laughed.
He guessed that the other person must be one of Xiao Xiyue’s pursuers.
Otherwise, his expression wouldn’t have changed so much.
He also secretly thought that it was good that he had disguised himself.
Who knows, he might have been hated by someone.
After all, these kinds of romantic entanglements were unpredictable.
“Ah.”
Xiao Xiyue lightly nodded, responding with a sound.
Although she cultivated the Dao technique of forgetting emotions, her emotions were still calm and indifferent.
But she wasn’t unaware of human emotions and worldly affairs.
She naturally knew that the other person had intentions.
“If the Blue Cloud Sect disciples knew their Fairy Xiyue was being pursued by me, wouldn’t I be chased to the ends of the earth?”
Lu Changsheng joked.
He didn’t mind this kind of thing.
In Xiao Xiyue’s situation, if she didn’t have any pursuers in the Blue Cloud Sect, he wouldn’t believe it.
Just like when they were in Julong Market, Lu Miaoge also had many pursuers.
But in the end, it was he, Lu Changsheng, who was more charming and got the beauty.
“There’s no need to exaggerate.”
Xiao Xiyue heard this and smiled slightly.
Her heart also felt a bit of joy.
The two of them then arrived at the rental cave dwelling office.
Manager Han saw Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng coming.
Looking at their demeanor, he knew that they had successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
One reason was that the heavenly and earthly spiritual aura had indicated their success.
Another reason was that if they had failed to break through, even with a Foundation Establishment pill, their breathing would be weak and disordered within a short period of time.
Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng’s bodies were filled with powerful Qi, like a deep ocean, making it impossible to detect any weakness or disorder.
“Congratulations, Master Xiao, on successfully establishing your Foundation! Congratulations, senior, on your successful Foundation Establishment! A bright future awaits for you guys!”
The Manager Han immediately bowed and congratulated them.
Now that Xiao Xiyue had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, her seniority naturally increased.
Before, he could still call her junior sister because he joined the school earlier and was older.
Now, of course, he had to address her as “Master”, and Lu Changsheng as “senior”.
“Master Xiao, when you were establishing your Foundation, Master Du and Meng Yibai came to visit you.”
“Master Du knew you were attempting to establish your Foundation and instructed others not to disturb you.”
The Manager Han continued to speak, reminding Xiao Xiyue.
Although this was not a major issue, he felt it was necessary to mention it to Xiao Xiyue.
After all, Xiao Xiyue was not only a Core Formation true persons’ disciple but had also successfully established her Foundation. If he could leave a good impression, it might be beneficial in the future.
Xiao Xiyue nodded slightly upon hearing this.
She had just seen Meng Yibai.
As for Master Du, she knew that he was the Blue Cloud Market Town’s seated true person.
The fact that he had instructed others not to disturb her was clearly a gesture of goodwill.
“Thank you, Senior Han.”
Xiao Xiyue slightly bowed in gratitude.
She naturally knew that in the Blue Cloud Sect, once one broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, their status would greatly increase.
Ordinary Qi Refining disciples would have to address Foundation Establishment disciples as “Master”.
However, she was still not accustomed to this form of address.
Especially since the Manager Han, was twenty to thirty years older than her.
“Fairy Xiyue and that person seem to have an extraordinary relationship.”
“They not only established their Foundation together but also spent so much time together in the cave.”
After Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng left, Manager Han secretly felt a sense of shock.
He had previously sensed that Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue’s relationship was not ordinary.
This was why he mentioned about Master Du and Meng Yibai.
After all, that youngster Meng was not someone with a good temper.
If he saw Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue’s relationship, he might cause trouble.
“But what does this have to do with me?”
The Manager Han, shook his head, not wanting to think too much about it.
He had been a manager for many years and knew that some things were better left unexplored.
“Changeseng, that Mansger Du is also a senior in our sect. Since I’ve come this far, I should go pay my respects.”
Xiao Xiyue said to Lu Changsheng.
If she didn’t know, it wouldn’t matter.
But since Master Du knew she was here, not going to pay her respects would be impolite.
“Alright, you go.”
“I’ll go buy some things too.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, indicating that he would buy what he needed and then head back to Qingzhu Mountain.
“Okay.”
Xiao Xiyue’s expression returned to its usual calm, with a hint of softness.
She then gave Lu Changsheng a gentle hug.
Meng Yibai, who had just come down from the Core Peak, saw this scene and his already unpleasant face turned even uglier.
Previously, he could comfort himself that the two were just friends, so it was okay if they were a bit intimate.
But now, seeing Xiao Xiyue initiate a hug with Lu Changsheng, he couldn’t believe they didn’t have a relationship.
He walked towards the cave residence with an expressionless face.
“It seems I need to be more cautious around this person.”
Lu Changsheng also saw Meng Yibai’s expressionless face and thought to himself.
As a man, he naturally understood men.
He could see that Meng Yibai, who exuded a strong and proud aura, was definitely a proud and arrogant person.
Seeing the person he pursued being intimate with someone else, he might become unhappy and harbor ill intentions.
The two of them parted ways, and Lu Changsheng headed towards the inner city.
He was going to take care of some things on his body and purchase some materials.
