Lu Changsheng collapsed to the ground with a ‘plop,’ breathless and gasping.
The sight made Ling Zixiao hold his forehead and sigh deeply.
“Wangshu, take good care of this Iron-Eating Beast regularly,”
Lu Changsheng had realized that if his daughter, Lu Linghe, were to take care of it, she might likely neglect the Iron-Eating Beast to death.
“Dad, the na Iron-Eating Beast sounds so unpleasant. Is there another na?”
Lu Wangshu asked.
“No, you na it,” Lu Changsheng said offhandedly.
“Well, since it rolls around so much, let’s call it Roll Roll.”
Lu Wangshu pondered for a mont before looking at her younger sister, Xiaohe, with a crisp voice, “How about it, Xiaohe, do you think the na Sister picked sounds good?”
“It sounds great!”
Lu Linghe nodded repeatedly, echoing her sister’s enthusiasm.
After spending so much ti with Lu Wangshu, she had already taken on the role of a little follower.
Although Ling Zixiao felt the na was not very fitting for such a Spiritual Beast,
since the children liked it, he said nothing and only instructed them to take good care of the Iron-Eating Beast.
…
Three months later,
Lu Changsheng received a ssage from Li Xingruo that she was ready to attempt the Foundation Establishnt.
Upon hearing this news, Lu Changsheng pondered briefly and decided to take Li Xingruo to Mount Suru Cave Heaven for her breakthrough.
On one hand, even with the Formation concealing it, undergoing a breakthrough at Bi Lake Mountain could still cause quite a disturbance.
On the other hand, having lived at Bi Lake Mountain for many years as a Second-Order Alchemist, with both parents deceased and only a younger sister remaining, Li Xingruo was trustworthy.
Moreover, as his concubine now officially recorded in the family registry, she also had a layer of protection.
“Hm?”
Lu Changsheng arrived at Li Xingruo’s courtyard and noticed light only in the bedroom.
“She’s resting so early.”
He chuckled lightly, guessing her thoughts.
A major event like the Foundation Establishnt could inevitably cause so anxiety.
They could comnce a dual cultivation to help her relax slightly.
He walked towards the bedroom and pushed the door open.
Inside, Li Xingruo lay on the bed, her black hair spread out, covered with a light blanket, her cheeks slightly flushed.
“Xingruo.”
Lu Changsheng started to untie his magical robe but imdiately sensed sothing was off.
Using his Divine Sense, he saw that besides Li Xingruo, there was another body under the blanket, devoid of any clothing, skin as white as jade, slightly trembling.
“Husband.”
Li Xingruo called out to Lu Changsheng.
“Brother-in-law.”
At that mont, the blanket was lifted, and Li Xingyu, her face red as a beet, covered her face and shyly called out.
Her body wasn’t as tall and graceful as her sister Li Xingruo’s, but from top to bottom, it exuded a thick fragrance of youth.
“Sigh.”
Lu Changsheng sighed internally, clearly understanding the sisters’ intentions.
Looking at Li Xingyu, he softly said, “Xingyu, is this truly what you want?”
Lu Soone, although not a perfect virtuous gentleman,
would naturally not take advantage of two sisters so alone and helpless.
If they genuinely wished for it, he, Lu Soone, was naturally willing to offer these pitiful sisters a warm ho.
“I… I am willing!”
Li Xingyu, covering her flushed cheeks, said in a trembling voice.
Then she added, “Please cherish , brother-in-law…”
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng naturally could no longer play the virtuous gentleman.
After all, things had progressed this far, what more could he do?
“Brother-in-law…”
Not long after, the young girl lay there with her delicate neck arched back, her soft tongue slightly sticking out, breathing rapidly, her beautiful jade feet tightly clenched, toes curled up like pearls.
Her sister Li Xingruo was comforting her.
…
Afterward! Afterward!
“Big sister, brother-in-law, can we always be together?”
Li Xingyu, drenched in sweet sweat, weakly nestled in Lu Changsheng’s arms, whispered.
“Yes.”
Lu Changsheng and Li Xingruo gently stroked the young girl, responding warmly.
As it was her first experience, it wasn’t long before the young girl fell into a deep sleep.
“Xingruo, I’m sorry you had to go through this.”
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng, holding Li Xingruo’s hand, spoke softly.
“Xingyu has long admired her husband…”
Li Xingruo rested her forehead on Lu Changsheng’s shoulders and whispered.
Although it was she who had asked her sister about it, she did so knowing her sister’s feelings, thus revealing the matter.
Of course, she had her reasons for doing this.
Thinking about the possibility of failing her Foundation Establishnt and facing accidents, she knew her sister would have soone to take care of her.
Moreover, her sister was unlikely to leave Bi Lake Mountain in the future. Being able to marry Lu Changsheng was already a great fortune—a good settlent, and possibly even an opportunity for Foundation Establishnt in the future.
Lu Changsheng, with his arm around Li Xingruo’s fair shoulder, chatted with her about the sisters’ past and matters concerning Foundation Establishnt.
…
Because of Li Xingyu’s situation, Li Xingruo’s Foundation Establishnt was delayed for half a month.
Half a month later, Lu Changsheng took Li Xingruo to Mount Suru Cave Heaven for her to peacefully proceed with her Foundation Establishnt.
As he was worried about Li Xingruo’s Foundation Establishnt, he stayed near the cave mansion to monitor the situation throughout.
Ti passed bit by bit.
After ten days of preparation, Li Xingruo began her Foundation Establishnt.
By now, Lu Changsheng was extrely familiar with Foundation Establishnt.
By observing every move of Li Xingruo through his Divine Sense, he could tell her progress and situation during the Foundation Establishnt.
“Xingruo is only in her forties, in her pri. Having taken the Three Suns Elixir and with no internal injuries…”
“Her foundation in the Magic Barrier is rather solid, she practices an Exquisite Level Cultivation Technique, and possesses a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, so there shouldn’t be much issue.”
“As for the final ntal Spirit, although she lacks various hardships, she experienced the vicissitudes of ordinary life early on when both parents passed away. She has been taking care of her sister and living in the marketplace by herself, so her ntal temperant is not bad…”
“And because she has been Alcheming for a long period and is a Second-Order Alchemist, her control over ntal Spirit and Spiritual Power exceeds most cultivators, thus overall, her chances of successful Foundation Establishnt are quite high.”
Lu Changsheng quietly observed Li Xingruo in front of him, internally concluding.
Under Lu Changsheng’s watchful eye, Li Xingruo slowly passed the three trials of Foundation Establishnt, began to gather mana, and lifted the Dao Platform.
Half a month later, Li Xingruo finally managed to break through the Foundation Establishnt albeit with so difficulty.
“Xingruo, congratulations on your successful Foundation Establishnt!”
Lu Changsheng stepped forward, touched Li Xingruo’s hair tenderly, and congratulated her with a smile.
“It’s all thanks to your Top-grade Foundation Establishnt Elixir, otherwise…”
Li Xingruo, still imrsed in her breakthrough process, responded with a slightly hoarse voice.
She was well aware that she had nearly failed just monts ago.
Had she taken an ordinary Foundation Establishnt Elixir without such efficacy to coordinate the three trials and transform the Spiritual Energy, she feared she would have failed the Foundation Establishnt.
This made her look at Lu Changsheng with eyes full of tender affection.
“Hehe, you just broke through, so stabilize your Cultivation Realm well.”
Lu Changsheng spoke softly, then walked out of the cave mansion.
He wasn’t just there to watch her breakthrough for gaining favor.
He was mainly concerned about the possibility of her failing the Foundation Establishnt.
If there were any problems or accidents during the process, he could still lend a hand with secret techniques and Yin Yang Energies.
…
“Now I can start moving so of the family industries to White Tiger Mountain.”
Lu Changsheng walked out of Changsheng Hall, looked at the Spiritual dicines in the dicine Garden, and murmured to himself.
Considering the increase in the number of family mbers who had achieved Foundation Establishnt, he planned to move the family’s Puppet Workshop, Wine Brewing Workshop, and Talisman Workshop to White Tiger Mountain.
It would be sufficient to retain so core operations at Bi Lake Mountain.
Due to the large intake of apprentices and the recruitnt of Guest Elders in earlier years, Bi Lake Mountain now found it hard to accommodate more people and establish new workshops.
However, although White Tiger Mountain had not been completely idle over the years, it was considered a waste of resources as it hadn’t been fully utilized.
Imdiately, Lu Changsheng left Mount Suru Cave Heaven, found his son Lu Yun, and relayed the plans about moving to White Tiger Mountain for him to draft a plan.
“Moving the three workshops to White Tiger Mountain?”
Lu Yun, upon hearing this, wasn’t surprised.
He had thought of this when White Tiger Mountain was first conquered.
One reason was that the family-owned Bi Lake Mountain was now sowhat overcrowded.
On the other hand, the mineral resources surrounding White Tiger Mountain were much richer than those near Bi Lake Mountain.
If the Puppet Workshop were to be built on White Tiger Mountain, it could also save a step in transportation costs.
The only issue was that moving the workshops there would require a Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivator to supervise!
Over the years, no Foundation Cultivator had been stationing at White Tiger Mountain.
It had solely relied on the fa of Bi Lake Mountain, as well as the nearby Tie Wood Forest and Creek Mountain, to deter others.
If the workshops were moved there and faced danger, it would be a heavy blow to the Lu Family.
This was because, over the years, the Lu Family had invested a lot in nurturing these apprentices.
“Um, in a few years your elder brother will break through to Foundation Establishnt, and with him supervising White Tiger Mountain, you don’t need to worry about safety. Discuss with Xianzhi and the others to finalize the details. Identify any issues that might arise during the move.”
Lu Changsheng spoke thus.
“My elder brother breaking through to Foundation Establishnt!”
Lu Yun was aware that Lu Quanzhen had recently made a breakthrough to Foundation Establishnt.
He hadn’t expected that his own elder brother Lu Ping’an would soon make a breakthrough as well.
Surprised and astonished, he felt a wave of excitent.
With this progress, which neighboring family forces could stop their rise!
“Yes, father.”
Lu Yun responded respectfully, then imdiately went to confirm the relocation matters with the three workshop managers.
