21: You will know
Zhu Tongxiu had lived to this age and already knew the mandate of heaven; she was not so afraid of death, but she had descendants of her Bloodline...
All her speculations could only be buried deep in her heart. Facing an existence hiding in Qinghe... a potentially powerful one, Zhu Tongxiu was very clear...
Some secrets, even if they are just guesses, once spoken, will most likely lead to death...
Who knew what methods had been planted in her when she came into contact with Lu Chen.
Perhaps the other party would also die, but that was only a possibility... and she would definitely die before Lu Chen.
To be absolutely sure, unless someone could eliminate Zhu Tongguang and Lu Chen at the same time—their close friendship was known to all, and if one was harmed, the other would avenge them.
She couldn't defeat either of them, nor did she want to bring disaster upon her Family or her own Bloodline. It wasn't as if this was some land of Opportunity...
Proclaiming others' secrets brought her no benefits.
The size of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's spiritual sea is also the distance a Foundation Establishment Expert's Divine Sense can cover. Lu Chen's spiritual sea was a thousand zhang, enough to cover half of the entire Qingzhu Mountain.
Seeing that Zhu Tongxiu had figured it out, he withdrew his attention from Cave Dwelling Number One and focused on cleaning up the aftermath of setting up the Formation.
Doing things as perfectly as possible was his principle.
The preliminary work had all been done by Zhu Tongxiu; he only needed to set up the pseudo-second-tier Formation and combine it with the previously connected Spiritual Vein.
Everything would then be settled.
"Let's call this the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Protection Formation."
Lu Chen's face revealed a smile. It was so useful to have a tool person; he only needed to grasp the core.
No wonder those Golden Core True Persons all wanted to establish immortal sects.
Only now did Qingzhu Mountain truly have the foundation for prosperity. He just needed to wait until he upgraded the Spiritual Vein to the second tier and refined a Spiritual Artifact to suppress it.
Qingzhu Mountain would then be one of the forbidden zones of Qinghe.
He returned to his room and glanced at Zhu Tongxiu, who was still there. The latter left obediently, speechless.
"Husband..."
After being with Lu Chen for so long... Cui Zhirou was still a little shy.
"Take this token. Whenever you encounter danger, activate it. The Heavenly Wolf Mountain Protection Formation is enough to kill any intruder."
Cui Zhirou took the token. Having a mountain protection Formation made her feel much more at ease.
"Husband, I was chatting with Elder Xiu just now. What are you planning to have her teach the sisters?"
Zhu Tongxiu would certainly not teach the Cultivation Technique of the Zhu Clan; that was the bottom line. Moreover, the techniques they Cultivate were scattered and chaotic, making it quite difficult to teach them uniformly...
"Hehe, I have already planned for this. I will build a Cultivation Technique Pavilion, and you will manage it for the time being..."
Lu Chen gently stroked Cui Zhirou's beautiful hair. He had been fighting for this for so long and had long had a plan in mind.
"As for the Cultivation Technique, you will all switch to Cultivate the Great Five Elements Qi Refining Art. This is a top-tier Qi Refining method that encompasses the Five Elements. You can break it down and Cultivate one attribute first, and then gradually Cultivate the other attributes as your Realm improves..."
"Even in the Cloud Azure Sect, the Great Five Elements Qi Refining Art is a top-tier Qi Refining method, and it is the easiest one among them. It can be broken down into the Metal Element Art, Wood Element Art, Water Element Art, Fire Element Art, and Earth Element Art. With each additional mutually generating attribute, the Cultivation Technique upgrades. Combining two together results in a High Grade Qi Refining method!"
As the direct daughter of a Foundation Establishment Family, Cui Zhirou naturally had some insight. After hearing Lu Chen's introduction, she herself had the urge to switch her Cultivation Technique immediately...
However, she hesitated slightly and asked softly, "Husband, this Cultivation Technique? ..."
Cui Zhirou knew that Lu Chen had left the Cloud Azure Sect to become independent, but as long as Lu Chen was still within the territory of the Cloud Azure Sect, there was essentially still a subordinate relationship. If she did not know the origin of such a top-tier Qi Refining method, she would inevitably feel worried.
"Rest assured, there is no problem with the source of the Cultivation Technique. You just need to Cultivate it. The Great Five Elements Qi Refining Art emphasizes being round and unified. Cultivating each type individually focuses on enhancing one's foundation, and the difficulty is not high. In the future, this Cultivation Technique will also be a mandatory technique for my Lu Clan's direct line!"
Lu Chen soothed her gently. He had no need to explain to others, but since he had chosen Cui Zhirou as the matriarch, it was necessary to tell her what she needed to know to be at ease.
This Cultivation Technique was a brand new one he had created over this period by integrating other Qi Refining methods and eliminating their flaws.
Naturally, there was no problem with its origin. Not to mention the Cloud Azure Sect, even the entire Gan Domain could not possibly have it.
To achieve this, he had exhausted all the profound liquid he had accumulated over the past few months. Otherwise, even as a Foundation Establishment Expert, it would have been impossible for him to create such a top-tier Qi Refining method that leads directly to Foundation Establishment in such a short time.
He had also buried a secret within the Great Five Elements Qi Refining Art, but it required the Five Elements to be united in order to obtain Lu Chen's true Legacy.
The most basic requirement was to learn all Five Elements, which meant the practitioner must have Five Spirit Roots to have any hope...
Cultivation during the Qi Refining stage was a race against time, especially for those with Five Spirit Roots, who had the slowest progress. The hope was very slim, and no one would spend so much time contemplating a single Qi Refining method.
After all, what did it matter how strong one was in the Qi Refining stage? Could they withstand a slap from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?
Only a Prodigy with monstrous Comprehension Ability could master the five elemental arts in a short period, integrating them to comprehend the true Great Five Elements Qi Refining Art.
Cui Zhirou leaned in Lu Chen's arms, feeling that her husband was truly capable. A Cultivation Technique that encompasses the Five Elements was basically the cornerstone of every Foundation Establishment power, but her maiden Family...
The Cui Clan's five-element Cultivation Technique only had three elements combined, which made it a High Grade Qi Refining method.
And for most immortal sprouts with Four Spiritual Roots, or even Three Spiritual Roots, Cultivating a three-element Cultivation Technique was their limit.
This involved the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements, and only Cultivators with Five Spirit Roots could finish Cultivating a complete Cultivation Technique that encompasses all Five Elements.
It was rumored that in ancient times, Cultivators with Five Spirit Roots were the true Prodigies. However, the Human Race suffered a great catastrophe, and the Five Spirit Roots Cultivators, who should have been Prodigies, were cursed, possessing the Spiritual Roots but lacking the matching Comprehension Ability.
Having the Cultivation Technique was like looking at flowers in the fog; they could neither grasp them nor see them clearly...
"Zhirou, if this child of yours has Spiritual Root talent, I will Cultivate them with emphasis. After we have been together for a long time, you will know that your husband is not simple..."
Lu Chen stroked Cui Zhirou's back; his words made the latter feel incomparably at ease.
"Mm..."
Cui Zhirou nodded gently. She had Three Spiritual Roots, and Lu Chen was at Qi Refining Perfection. Since this was Lu Chen's first child, the probability of the child having Spiritual Roots, or even excellent talent, was not small.
After giving instructions and comforting Cui Zhirou, Lu Chen left the Immortal Cave. Cui Zhirou did not stop him; now that she was pregnant, she could not sing.
Lu Chen did not indulge in the land of tenderness and was devoted to the development of the Family. This was the important factor that gave her peace of mind, because she saw the future.
"Meier, rest assured. As long as your child has Spiritual Root talent, no matter what talent it is, I will Cultivate them well. After we have been together for a long time, you will know that your husband is not simple..."
In the room of the number three Immortal Cave, Lu Chen soothed her gently. Upon hearing this, Huang Meier was moved. What she feared most was that Lu Chen would treat her as a Cauldron, but with these words, she was relieved.
"Ruoyan, rest assured. As long as your child has Spiritual Root talent... After we have been together for a long time, you will know that your husband is not simple..."
"Yueli, rest assured... you will know..."
