47: Chapter 47 Foundation Shattered

Time passed quietly in the midst of waiting.

Another half-day passed.

Suddenly,

The Spiritual Qi vortex above the main peak of Qingmao Mountain suddenly shuddered violently twice!

In the next moment, under everyone's tense gaze,

That massive vortex suddenly contracted inward.

It actually disappeared completely.

Immediately afterward, a Spiritual Pressure belonging to the Foundation Establishment Stage

slowly began to diffuse from the Immortal Cave on the mountain peak!

"Is this... a successful Foundation Establishment?!"

Someone whispered in pleasant surprise.

All the members of the Lu family,

including Old Ancestor Lu, had expressions of wild joy on their faces!

However, just as everyone thought success was achieved,

inside the Immortal Cave,

Lu Shiyin's brows were tightly furrowed,

her expression looking extremely painful.

In the next moment,

inside her Dantian, the Flawless Dao Foundation that had just been formed

suddenly had countless fine cracks appear on its surface!

"Crack... crack..."

Time passed quietly in the midst of waiting.

In the next moment, her body trembled,

and she spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood with a "wah" sound,

her whole body slumping forward weakly,

falling unconscious.

"Shiyin!"

"Sister!"

Ye Changge, Ancestor Lu, and the others outside the Immortal Cave were just about to go in and celebrate,

but they were immediately shocked upon pushing the door open and seeing such a sight.

Lu Shiqing was the first to rush over,

throwing herself to Lu Shiyin's side as tears instantly welled up:

"Sister! W-what happened?!"

Ye Changge also frowned, feeling confused in his heart:

"She clearly succeeded in Foundation Establishment just now, so why is this happening?"

Old Ancestor Lu stepped forward quickly, and as his Divine Sense swept through Lu Shiyin's body, his face changed drastically:

"This... this... the Dao Foundation... has cracked!"

"Cracked?"

Ye Changge's heart tightened.

"Sigh... was she still disturbed after all...?"

Old Ancestor Lu was heartbroken, rage surging in his eyes.

He had clearly sensed just now

that his descendant had faintly touched the edge of a Flawless Dao Foundation,

but now, at the final moment, all efforts had fallen through, and the Dao Foundation was cracked!

"Cracked..."

Ye Changge fell into deep thought.

Depending on the Cultivation Technique a Cultivator practices,

a perfect Dao Foundation will always be accompanied by a Dao Foundation Divine Ability.

Because he practiced the Yin Yang Creation Art,

and had integrated a strand of unknown Spiritual Qi from that Core Formation girl,

his Dao Foundation Divine Ability was able to nurture a strand of "Yin Yang Origin."

This strand of Origin could be transferred to a Dao Companion through the Method of Dual Cultivation,

having miraculous effects in stabilizing, repairing, and even improving the quality of the other person's Dao Foundation.

He originally felt this ability was somewhat useless.

He already possessed a perfect Dao Foundation and had no need for improvement;

at most, it could be used in the future to help consolidate the foundations of his wives and concubines after they established their foundations.

He didn't expect that Lu Shiyin's current situation would happen to match it perfectly!

Furthermore, within the "Yin Yang Creation Art," there were several Secret Techniques that used the Yin-Yang Qi

to infuse vitality and repair damage; combined with this strand of "Yin Yang Origin,"

he was eighty to ninety percent sure he could heal Lu Shiyin's Dao Foundation injury.

But the problem was,

almost all of these Secret Techniques needed to be performed through Dual Cultivation!

"Old Ancestor! Please save sister! Her... her aura is getting weaker and weaker!"

Lu Shiqing cried as she grabbed Old Ancestor Lu's sleeve.

Old Ancestor Lu's face was full of bitterness as he shook his head and sighed.

"An injury to the Dao Foundation... this old man is also powerless!"

With his experience and methods at the Foundation Establishment Stage,

how could he have any way to repair a Dao Foundation?

For such an injury, even if a Golden Core True Person were to take action,

they might not necessarily be certain of success.

Just then,

Lu Shiyin's eyelashes fluttered,

and she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze unfocused.

"Sister!"

Lu Shiqing hurriedly grasped her hand.

Lu Shiyin forced a pale smile, her breath as thin as a thread.

"Old Ancestor... Father... I've disappointed you... *cough cough*..."

Another mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of her lips.

She could feel her vitality rapidly draining away along with the shattering of her Dao Foundation.

As death approached, the one she was most unable to let go of

was this younger sister who had been pampered since childhood and had a frank and impatient temperament.

She struggled to turn her head and look at Ye Changge, her eyes filled with entreaty.

"Changge, Shiqing... she has a hasty temper... in the future... please... take good care of her..."

With these words, she was both entrusting her sister to him

and hoping that Ye Changge, for the sake of this relationship,

would look after the Lu family a bit in the future.

Seeing this, Lu Shiqing cried even more piteously:

"Wuwu... Sister, don't die... I don't want you to die..."

Everyone present had looks of grief on their faces.

Lu Shiyin was exceptionally talented and had a gentle Heart-Nature;

she was the future hope of the Lu family, yet she had ended up like this...

After crying for a while, Lu Shiqing suddenly seemed to remember something.

She abruptly turned and threw herself in front of Ye Changge, grabbing his arm,

and said urgently with a tear-streaked face:

"Husband! You are so powerful, you can even easily kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator...

You must have a way to save sister, right? Please, save her!"

Looking at his wife's red-rimmed eyes and her face full of pleading,

Ye Changge's heart softened. After a moment of contemplation, he said in a low voice,

"Shiqing... I do indeed have a way."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze instantly focused on him.

"Really?! Husband, quickly save sister!"

A light of hope burst from Lu Shiqing's eyes.

Ye Changge coughed lightly, feeling a bit guilty,

but thinking that a human life was at stake, he still said frankly:

"In my earlier years while traveling, I once happened to obtain a Secret Technique that can repair Dao Foundation damage..."

He did not mention the "Yin Yang Origin" or the perfect Dao Foundation,

as these involved his own fundamental secrets.

"A Secret Technique! That's wonderful! Husband, perform it quickly!"

Lu Shiqing urged.

Ye Changge showed a difficult expression,

finding it a bit hard to speak for a moment.

After all... those present were all the woman's elders, even her father.

"Shiqing... don't make things difficult for Changge anymore..."

Lu Shiyin spoke with a weak breath;

although she also longed to live, she was unwilling to force others to do what they didn't want to.

"Husband! I'll never throw tantrums with you again! I'll listen to everything you say from now on! Please, just save sister!"

Lu Shiqing was so anxious she was incoherent, tears pattering down.

Ye Changge sighed, gently pulled her to his side,

and looking at Old Ancestor Lu and Lu Yunshan, he confessed:

"Old Ancestor, Father-in-law... to tell you the truth, this Secret Technique is... a Dual Cultivation Secret Technique."

"A Dual Cultivation Secret Technique?"

Everyone was stunned.

Ye Changge continued:

"If it were an ordinary woman saved by this method, I would naturally take responsibility and take her into my household.

But... Sister Shiyin is Shiqing's biological sister, so her status is special.

If Sister Shiyin is willing, I am indeed certain I can repair her Dao Foundation,

and perhaps even raise the quality of her Dao Foundation to a higher level. It's just..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood.

Saving someone through Dual Cultivation.

The Immortal Cave suddenly became silent.

Lu Shiqing first opened her red lips slightly, looking a bit dazed, but she quickly came to her senses.

Her sister was indeed not young anymore and would have to marry sooner or later.

Instead of letting some outsider of unknown Origin benefit, it would be better to marry her to her own husband!

Although her husband had many wives and concubines, he was extremely good to his own people,

his strength was great, and he was handsome...

Besides, wouldn't this mean she could be with her sister every day?

She hardly hesitated at all

and immediately turned around and ran to Lu Shiyin's side.
