After all, when they had used dual cultivation to save Lu Miaoge, she had found out that he was at the Energy Refinement Late Stage.It’s just that he didn’t mention it, and Lu Miaoge never asked about it. Now that he had made a breakthrough in Foundation Establishment, it was not a big deal to reveal a little about his cultivation level. "Ninth Level Energy Refinement!” "Changsheng, you’ve broken through to the Ninth Level of Energy Refinement!” Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge indeed couldn’t hide her immense surprise, her beautiful eyes rippling softly with happiness for him. In the Cultivation World, breaking through to the Energy Refinement Late Stage before the age of forty meant there was hope for Foundation Establishment. Now that Lu Changsheng had broken through to the Ninth Level of Energy Refinement at the age of thirty-three, it was not at all an overstatement to call him a genius. Across all of Qingzhu Mountain, there were only a few people who could achieve the Ninth Level of Energy Refinement at such an age. Although she didn’t understand how Lu Changsheng, with a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, had achieved such a cultivation level in just over a decade, she did not ask further. She knew that Lu Changsheng had his own secrets. "Of course, when have I ever deceived you?” Observing her reaction, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile and spoke accordingly. However, deep down he felt guilty for deceiving her again regarding his cultivation level. "I always knew you were extraordinary, Changsheng.” Lu Miaoge, with her clear and gentle demeanor, said with a heart full of joy, “Why did you suddenly bring this up today?” She had long known that Lu Changsheng was at the Energy Refinement Late Stage, but she did not know the specifics of his cultivation level. "Because I know Sister Miaoge, you’ve always wanted me to diligently pursue cultivation and aim for Foundation Establishment in the future.” "Seeing you so happy about the Second Grade Talisman Master, I didn’t want to hide, and I wanted to make you happier.” Lu Changsheng hugged Lu Miaoge, resting his chin lightly on her silky hair, and spoke the honest truth. "Mhm, I’m very happy.” "I believe, Changsheng, that you will definitely become a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator in the future.” Lu Miaoge nestled in Lu Changsheng’s arms, her heart sweet and her eyes brimming with affection as she spoke softly. Having spent so many years together, she was naturally aware that Lu Changsheng had many secrets. Whether it was from the time he saved her, his current Ninth Level Energy Refinement, or the previous involvement with the Three Suns Elixir, among others. Outsiders might not be able to figure it out, but as his closest companion, she could sense some of it. The fact that Lu Changsheng was willing to reveal some to her also made her very happy. "It’s not just me, it’s us.” "In the future, we will both achieve Foundation Establishment.” Lu Changsheng said warmly. He had not only the Foundation Establishment Elixir but also four Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects. He had not sold these Spiritual Objects; they were reserved for Lu Miaoge. With these conditions, he did not believe that Lu Miaoge would fail to succeed in Foundation Establishment. If she still failed, he would forcibly help Lu Miaoge condense her Dao Foundation using the dual cultivation Secret Technique from the Yin Yang Harmony Technique. Even though it would only be a fractured Foundation Base, it could still be slowly repaired into a flawless Foundation Base using the Yin Yang Five Elements Foundation Base afterward. "Mhm.” Lu Miaoge softly replied, nestling in Lu Changsheng’s embrace, her tender and affection-filled eyes displaying a longing for what was to come. She looked forward to that day truly coming. But family members know their own difficulties. She was very aware that without a Foundation Establishment Elixir, relying solely on a few Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects, her chances of achieving Foundation Establishment were at best two or three in ten. The two of them just embraced each other quietly. Before long, Lu Miaoge’s delicate body trembled slightly, her limbs felt soft, her cheeks blushed faintly, and her slender neck tilted back slightly. "Mm~ Is this…someone is making a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment?” At that moment, Lu Miaoge looked out the window and saw that in the dwelling area of Red Leaf Valley, a vortex of Spiritual Energy was slowly gathering, and she gently stopped Lu Changsheng’s playful actions inside his robe. Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng also stopped and looked toward the window. He immediately saw a vortex of Spiritual Energy several meters across steadily growing larger in the distance. This step indicated that the person had already passed the three tests of Foundation Establishment and was starting to condense Spiritual Liquid, preparing to lift up their Dao Foundation. "He must be the Cultivator who bought the ‘Earth Fire Spiritual Liquid’.” "It seems he has already crossed the three tests of Foundation Establishment and is now at the critical stage of Foundation Establishment,” Lu Changsheng said out loud. "I heard he only has the ‘Earth Fire Spiritual Liquid’ as a Foundation Establishment Spirit Object, it’s uncertain whether he’ll be successful or not,” Lu Miaoge murmured, her rosy cheeks tinged with a touch of sentimentality. She wasn’t worried about the other party. She was seeing her own future path. After all, for most Cultivators without a Foundation Establishment Elixir, attempting Foundation Establishment meant staking their lives. Gambling on that ten to twenty percent chance. The Lu Family would produce Foundation Establishment hopefuls every few generations. But until the Lu Family Ancestor was near the end of his life and Lu Yuanzhong managed to achieve Foundation Establishment, it was known how difficult this life-risking chance was. Furthermore, Lu Yuanzhong managed to break through only because Lu Yuanshan had obtained the ingredients for a Foundation Establishment Elixir in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, partnered with others for Alchemy, and successfully used the Elixir to make the breakthrough. "It’s hard to say, after all, the hardest part of Foundation Establishment is this step where eighty percent fail,” Lu Changsheng said while playfully touching the plump and smooth snow-white skin. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He had respect for someone who, without a Foundation Establishment Elixir and only ten to twenty percent chance, dared to gamble in such a way. After all, these people who were willing to give it everything typically had good foundations. Not only were their Spiritual Roots good, but they were also relatively young, only in their forties or fifties. In that situation, they dared to forsake everything, risking their lives for that slim chance at Foundation Establishment. "Sister Miaoge, it’s getting late.” After watching for a while, Lu Changsheng lost interest and said warmly to the beauty in front of him. After all, foundation-building phenomena weren’t as compelling as the lovely person before his eyes. Moreover, such an event as Foundation Establishment wouldn’t yield results in just a moment or two; it required sustained time. "Mm~” Lu Miaoge looked at Lu Changsheng, who was acting childishly, and cooed, rolling her eyes at him with a playful scowl.
