Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 122 - 113: The Intractable Root Bone, Concerns of Cultivation [14th Update, Please Subscribe!]

Lu Qingfeng, in order to dispel Zhou Yuan's doubts, spoke at length.

He deliberately mentioned some details about the Foundation Establishment Condensing Liquid Realm that could only be known by Foundation Establishment cultivators who had personally experienced it.

These insights about the levels of cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Condensing Liquid Realm were repeatedly pondered by Lu Qingfeng in the game.

His explanations were so detailed that they could not be articulated this coherently if he had not experienced it himself. Even if Zhou Yuan had doubts, he would only suspect that Lu Qingfeng's cultivation level was higher, not anything else.

He would never have guessed that Lu Qingfeng sitting in front of him had only achieved the True Qi Realm!

"Foundation Establishment Condensing Liquid."

Zhou Yuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly before he looked up at Lu Qingfeng and said, "I need to discuss this matter with the three Supreme Elders first, I will give Elder Lu a reply in three days."

"Alright."

"Then, I will await the Sect Master's favorable news!"

Lu Qingfeng stood up to bow and then took his leave.

Bursting from the clouds, an Iron Feathered Flying Eagle carried Lu Qingfeng towards Silver Horn Mountain.

"Third-rank Iron Feathered Flying Eagle."

Zhou Yuan, sitting cross-legged, watched Lu Qingfeng disappear into the sea of clouds, his face bearing a contemplative expression.

...

Silver Horn Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng leaped off the back of the Iron Feathered Flying Eagle and returned to his cave dwelling.

Lu Qingyu was cultivating in her own cave dwelling.

In the three years since they joined the Luoxia Sect, the siblings mostly cultivated in Silver Horn Mountain.

Especially Lu Qingfeng, who was described as hardly ever leaving his room.

Lu Qingyu, however, would occasionally go out, riding a white crane around the Juyun Mountain Range.

Three months ago.

Lu Qingyu advanced to the True Qi Realm Third Level.

Lu Qingshan had achieved this two months earlier than her.

Therefore, during this period, Lu Qingyu cultivated extremely diligently, aiming to catch up with or even surpass her second brother.

But Lu Qingshan had a better Root Bone than Qingyu and had undergone various trial experiences over the past two years, gaining insights and improving his cultivation rapidly.

Lu Qingyu, despite often receiving guidance from her elder brother, realized that cultivation largely depended on one's own efforts. Her diligent cultivation was accompanied by less experiential learning, and with the current trend, her cultivation level would continue to fall further behind Lu Qingshan.

Reaching the Foundation Establishment Level would not be an issue.

Lu Qingfeng's concern was about the time Qingyu needed to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage and the pace of cultivation after reaching Foundation Establishment.

Simply reaching Foundation Establishment conveys a lifespan of about three hundred years.

With Qingyu's Root Bone and pace of cultivation, the journey through the Foundation Establishment stage would certainly be tougher.

"Qingyu."

Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged in his cave dwelling, pondering Qingyu's cultivation progress, yet unable to come up with a solution.

He could only try to find methods in the game to quickly increase his cultivation level and gather various cultivation resources and life-extending spiritual objects in reality.

Sitting quietly, Lu Qingfeng focused his thoughts.

Three years ago, when he emerged from the Crying Swamp, he had just advanced to the True Qi Realm Sixth Layer.

With three years of relentless cultivation, and collecting herbs through the Luoxia Sect—

Top-level elixir pills were abundant, and his cultivation progressed swiftly, now reaching the late stages of the True Qi Realm Eighth Layer.

Once he crossed the True Qi Ninth Layer, he would be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. At that time, with a lifespan of three hundred years, his cultivation journey would also feel a lot steadier.

"Ordinary cultivators reaching Foundation Establishment, if they have excellent Root Bone, do not need Foundation Establishment Pills and can break through directly. Even if their Root Bone is slightly poorer, with persistent efforts over time, and if the opportunity arises, they also have the chance to advance. However, Qingyu, Qingshan, and I all have extremely poor Root Bone. To rely solely on our own power to reach Foundation Establishment, bound by our Root Bone, is exceedingly difficult."

He decided to enter the Hundred Herbs Garden this time.

One reason was for Qingshan's safety.

Although with Qingshan's strength, and with the Seven Evil Banner in hand, he was unmatched by True Qi Realm cultivators in the lower levels of the Hundred Herbs Garden, there was no guarantee that no accidents would occur.

Secondly, Lu Qingfeng was on the verge of reaching Foundation Establishment and urgently needed Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Root Bone!"

Lu Qingfeng frowned slightly.

Thinking of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but think of Root Bone.

The limitation of Root Bone makes cultivation arduous.

And to enhance the Root Bone is even harder than reaching the skies.

He had searched for many years in the game, and besides some extremely rare and magnificent spiritual treasures, which were beyond his cultivation level and touch, there was no other way.

But even those spiritual treasures were unreachable in the game, not to mention in reality.

Root Bone is innate, tied to one's fate.

To change it postnatally, one must possess abilities against the heavens, as mere medicinal stones wouldn't suffice.

In reality, enhancing one's Root Bone is impractical.

"The Hundred Herbs Garden opens in a month, let's not even talk about not having the Foundation Establishment Pill, even if we had one, advancing to Foundation Establishment before then is impossible. However, this is good too, as being in the True Qi Realm allows one to freely move between the upper and lower levels of the Hundred Herbs Garden, and also take care of Qing Mountain."

Shaking his head, Lu Qingfeng temporarily set aside his worries about Root Bone and pondered the preparations before entering the Hundred Herbs Garden.

Actually, there wasn't much to prepare.

The entry fee of two hundred Spirit Stones for the Hundred Herbs Garden would be provided by the Luoxia Sect, and Lu Qingfeng only needed to organize the Magic Artifacts he had refined over the years and sort out the various techniques and Divine Skills he was proficient in the game and mastered in reality.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Reality or game, he was diligently cultivating.

Lu Qingfeng's cultivation had reached the True Qi Realm Eighth Layer Late Stage.

Cultivating two Mysterious Level Techniques, his true Qi was extremely dense. He also possesses a True Sect Level Body Refinement Technique, making his physical body strong enough to match or even surpass demon beasts.

Combined with several Divine Skills, he would have no rivals in the Hundred Herbs Garden.

Whether it's the Demon Clan, Demon Sect, or the other three sects among the Juyun Four Sects, the threat towards Lu Qingfeng was minimal.

Now, what Lu Qingfeng needed to prepare for was the Array Formation Restriction.

The spiritual medicines in the Hundred Herbs Garden were guarded by Array Formation Prohibitions, and to increase the efficiency of obtaining them, one must have some expertise in this area.

"The way of Array Formation Prohibition is broad and profound, no less than Alchemy or Artifact Refining. Eight years in the game, equivalent to one month in reality, is far from enough for me to achieve proficiency in this field."

"However, the prohibitions in the Hundred Herbs Garden are only aimed at Postnatal and Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

"Not hard to handle."

Lu Qingfeng chuckled lightly and entered "Primordial".

…

- "What?"

"This is nonsense!"

On Bo Wang Platform, Mei Qingyan shook his head continuously, "No way! Absolutely not!"

Sitting beside Mei Qingyan were Zhou Yuan, Sui Hanshan, and Yue Lingxi, as prohibitions rose around them preventing their voices from leaking out, ensuring their conversation was not overheard.

They were discussing Lu Qingfeng's entry to the Hundred Herbs Garden.

As soon as Zhou Yuan mentioned it, Mei Qingyan shook his head in opposition.

Among the three Supreme Elders of the Luoxia Sect, each matched their reputation.

Sui Hanshan was colder by nature, usually taciturn. He focused solely on cultivation and didn't particularly care about many things.

Yue Lingxi was astute and handled matters smoothly and skillfully.

The last one, Mei Qingyan, was known for his explosive temper, being the most irascible.

Lu Qingfeng, having never met them, was due to his dual status as an Alchemist and Artifact Refiner, valued by the Luoxia Sect. Even Mei Qingyan had to maintain good relations with him.

But from the Foundation Establishment Elders to the Deacons and Disciples of the Luoxia Sect, none didn't fear this Supreme Elder.

"Junior Brother Mei, calm down for a moment."

Zhou Yuan spoke to soothe, knowing Mei Qingyan's explosive temper, then turned to Yue Lingxi, "Senior Sister Yue, what do you think?"

"Is Elder Lu's attitude firm?"

Instead of directly expressing her views, Yue Lingxi asked.

"Yes, and he is very confident in his own strength," Zhou Yuan stroked his silver beard and sighed.

"From the looks of it, except letting him join, we have no other choice," Yue Lingxi said directly.
