Chapter 1188: Chapter 414: Devastation Flame, 20 Ninth Level Qi Refinement!
"Dad, Mother, Auntie."
Lu Lingxiao’s eyes opened, his pupils bursting with twin beams of golden light, emitting an overwhelmingly strong aura.
His tall and upright body burned with an obscure black flame, adding a touch of coldness, majesty, and dominance to his entire being.
"Haha, not bad."
Lu Changsheng looked at his son’s condition, nodding his head in satisfaction.
Through refining the Heavenly Spiritual Fire, not only has his son washed the marrow and shaved the hair, breaking through to the second rank in Body Refinement, but his foundation has also advanced further.
"Xiao’er, this Spiritual Fire has yet to be named; you should give it a name yourself."
Ling Zixiao, with her bright and clear eyes, observed the black flame burning on her son’s body and said with a light chuckle.
There are numerous kinds of Heavenly Spiritual Fires.
Apart from a few well-known ones, most remain unnamed.
"Hmm..."
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Lingxiao said, "This Spiritual Fire brims with a sense of destruction and havoc; why not call it Devastation Flame."
"Devastation Flame, that’s quite good."
Ling Zixiao smiled faintly.
"Xiao’er, you should go back and rest well for now, and after some time, you can begin challenging the Foundation Establishment."
Lu Changsheng said to his son Lu Lingxiao.
His son had just finished refining the Devastation Flame and was in a very weak state, needing good rest.
"Yes, Dad."
"Mother, Auntie, I take my leave."
The flames on Lu Lingxiao’s body slowly dissipated, his skin appeared dehydrated and somewhat cracked, like that of a shedding snake, revealing an old layer of skin.
This was the physical body experiencing a transformation inside out, a true marrow cleansing, metamorphosis to a higher form!
"Thank you for your hard work, my lord, Miaoge."
At this moment, Ling Zixiao also spoke to Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge.
"We’re all family, Sister Ling, there’s no need for such formalities."
Lu Miaoge said with a soft smile.
The group chatted with laughter for a while, then Lu Changsheng, accompanied by Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge, began preparing the medicinal bath.
This method of concocting a medicinal bath had long been taught to Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge.
However, this time the medicinal bath was extraordinary, using the blood essence of a Third-Rank Demon King as the main ingredient, requiring his supervision.
...
At the same time, an announcement was made by the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family to the outside world.
They stated that they possess a Second-Order Alchemist capable of refining Foundation Establishment Elixirs with a special Monster Core and guaranteed the formation of at least one Pill.
If unsuccessful, the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family would provide full compensation.
Not only is the refining service free, but Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family is also offering Cultivators, including Loose Cultivators, Cave Mansion facilities for attempting Foundation Establishment.
Simply provide three thousand Spirit Stones or agree to serve as a Visiting Noble Servant at Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family, and you could attempt Foundation Establishment there.
No sooner had this news been released than it spread rapidly like a whirlwind, drawing numerous discussions.
The announcement was shocking.
In the entire Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, other than the Four Great Immortal Sects, only Danxia Mountain and the Three Great Immortal Cities have such Alchemists.
Ordinary Cultivators seeking to have Foundation Establishment Elixirs refined would typically need to travel to one of the Three Great Immortal Cities.
For Energy Refining Cultivators who have somehow gathered the materials for a Foundation Establishment Elixir, the journey to the Three Great Immortal Cities is far, and the risk of being attacked along the way is a concern.
Moreover, even in the Three Great Immortal Cities, obtaining an audience with these Alchemists and hiring someone to perform the Alchemy requires the right connections and wealth.
But now, with Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family offering free Alchemy, guaranteed Pill Formation, and providing a place for breakthroughs,
The offer is simply enticing.
Especially for some Family Forces.
They have by chance obtained Heavenly Spirit Fruits or special Monster Cores but have been afraid to visit the Immortal Cities.
Having the option of Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family nearby makes things much simpler.
Nevertheless, many people remained skeptical and suspicious of the announcement.
"What? Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family has a Second-Order Alchemist capable of refining Foundation Establishment Elixirs and even guarantees at least one successful Pill?"
"No wonder Blue Lake Mountain and Qingzhu Mountain have produced several Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators in recent years; turns out they have such an Alchemist in the family!"
"Such a top-tier Alchemist not seeking fame in the Immortal Cities but hiding away in the small Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family?"
"My third aunt’s cousin’s sister is a concubine of the Lu Family Patriarch, and I heard that this Alchemist is also one of Lu Changsheng’s concubines."
"What? Such an Alchemist being someone’s concubine? How charismatic must this Lu Family Patriarch be!"
"Damn it, what kind of Love Luck has Lu Changsheng stumbled upon? Remember, his wife is a top-tier Formation Master, and now he has a top-tier Alchemist."
"I wonder if this is true. Has any Daoist tried it out?"
"If I go there, Blue Lake Mountain won’t rob and kill me, right?"
"If Blue Lake Mountain dares to make this announcement, it probably won’t be false."
"Right. Blue Lake Mountain tends to act honorably, valuing reputation, and wouldn’t tarnish their name for such a sleight."
In the vicinity of Blue Lake Mountain, countless people discussed the matter, generating a buzz about the event.
And the news continued to spread, quickly reaching throughout the Qingyun Region.
After all, Blue Lake Mountain has quite a reputation in the Qingyun Region Boundary, enjoying a period of great prominence.
Now that a rare Alchemist capable of producing Foundation Establishment Elixirs had emerged in the family, they naturally attracted immediate attention.
...
At the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain.
"Refining Foundation Establishment Elixirs; Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family does indeed have an Alchemist who can refine them."
Lu Yuanzhong and others thought to themselves upon hearing the news.
In earlier years, when Lu Changsheng had sold Foundation Establishment Elixirs at a bargain, they had harbored suspicions.
"Refining Foundation Establishment Elixirs..."
Lu Yuanding, with his hair grayed by time, sat in the courtyard, hearing the news without much concern.
To see Qingzhu Mountain reach such heights was enough for him, he was content and no longer worried about family affairs, not considering seeking any advantage from Blue Lake Mountain before death.
Moreover, doing such a thing would be detrimental to the relationship between the two families.
