Lu Changsheng left the Red Leaf Valley Market and upon seeing no one around, immediately disguised himself, concealing his magic aura entirely. He then took out a second-rank Qi-Sealing Talisman and a Stealth Talisman from his storage bag and used them on himself. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚 Of course, he couldn’t actually leave. Now that the disturbance in the marketplace had ended, Lu Miaoge, not having seen him, would surely be worried. Moreover, the four great families would definitely be inspecting the marketplace next. If he wasn’t around, unnecessary trouble might arise. "As expected, it hasn’t recovered so quickly." Lu Changsheng quickly returned to the Red Leaf Valley Market. Seeing the huge crack he had previously cut at the weak point of the market’s great formation still there, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had deliberately made that slash before as a makeshift exit for himself to use upon returning. Within the crack, two Energy Refinement Late Stage cultivators could be seen standing guard. But he, a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, had not only concealed his aura but also had a second-rank Qi-Sealing Talisman and a Stealth Talisman, so naturally, he wouldn’t be noticed. Lu Changsheng silently slipped back into the marketplace. Afterwards, he found a secluded alley, tied up his loosened hair, changed back into his blue magical robe, and restored his handsome and imposing true appearance. "Hmm? Is this a failed Foundation Establishment attempt?" Lu Changsheng walked out of the alley and headed towards the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop. Looking up at the sky, he saw the vortex of nature’s spiritual energy above the core cave dwelling area slowly dissipating. This situation indicated a failed Foundation Establishment attempt. "Indeed, with such a commotion just now at the marketplace and the great formation operating at full capacity, not only did it cause a disorder in nature’s spiritual energy, but it also greatly affected the mindset of those attempting Foundation Establishment." "The transformation of Spiritual Liquid into Mana, supporting the Dao Foundation, cannot tolerate distractions. A single mishap can lead to failure in Foundation Establishment." "With such a huge commotion in the marketplace just now, how could they not be affected." Lu Changsheng shook his head. Knowing that the person had not taken a Foundation Establishment Elixir, now that Foundation Establishment had failed, if they didn’t die, they still would be abolished. Even if they took a ’Meridian Protecting Elixir’ to protect the meridians and Dantian, reducing the risk of death, they still had to face the situation of damaged meridians and Dantian, with cultivation levels rolling back. If there was no great opportunity, it would be almost impossible for them to break through Foundation Establishment again in this lifetime. "It’s said that this person has a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root and is only forty-nine years old; among loose cultivators, they were in the prime of life." "Now that Foundation Establishment has failed and all savings are spent, even if they don’t die, the rest of their life will be very difficult." Lu Changsheng slightly shook his head, feeling somewhat emotional inside. Most loose cultivators trying to break through to Foundation Establishment were not only risking their lives. They were also staking all their lifelong savings on it. "Uncle Yuan Shan." At that moment, Lu Changsheng saw several Law Enforcement Cultivators coming towards him. The man leading them was a one-armed, dignified man with a weathered face. He was one of the core members of the Lu Family, Lu Yuanshan. Although he had lost an arm, his Energy Refinement Ninth Level cultivation was still formidable. He was positioned in the Red Leaf Valley Market by the Lu Family to serve as the Law Enforcement Leader. "Changsheng, what are you doing here?" Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, Lu Yuanshan gave him a few glances and then asked. "Earlier, when the marketplace was in turmoil, after Miaoge and I checked our own talisman shop, I was about to go and see the situation at my own Spiritual Talisman Shop." "Just as I left, a fight broke out involving Foundation Establishment cultivators, so I had to hide on the side, and only now do I dare to come out," Lu Changsheng spoke. "How could Miaoge let you go check the situation by yourself?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanshan frowned and said. The recent situation was very dangerous in his view. As the leading talisman path expert of the Lu Family with only Seventh Level Energy Refinement cultivation, how could Lu Miaoge let Lu Changsheng wander around under such circumstances. Any mishap would be a tremendous loss for their Lu Family. In his view, it was simply too reckless. "It was an emergency at that time, and besides, I had talismans with me. As long as I didn’t encounter any Foundation Establishment cultivators, there basically wouldn’t be any problems," Lu Changsheng said somewhat sheepishly. The Lu Family might not reprimand him. But chances are, they might still address the matter with Lu Miaoge afterwards. "Although it’s safe now, there might still be robber cultivators hidden in the shadows." "Come with me, and I’ll escort you back first," Lu Yuanshan continued. He didn’t doubt or check on Lu Changsheng. After all, they were family, and he knew him through and through. Furthermore, with Lu Changsheng’s appearance and demeanor, he didn’t believe that he could be someone else in disguise. "Thank you, Uncle Yuan Shan," Lu Changsheng nodded. Then, Lu Yuanshan, accompanied by a few Law Enforcement Cultivators, escorted Lu Changsheng back to the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop. "Changsheng, Uncle Yuan Shan," Lu Miaoge was at the first floor of the talisman shop waiting. Seeing them approaching, she immediately opened the formation. "Miaoge, how could you let Changsheng check the situation by himself?" "You saw the commotion in the marketplace just now; what if he had an accident with a robber cultivator..." Lu Yuanshan said with a stern voice upon seeing Lu Miaoge. The tone in his voice carried a note of reprimand. Though Lu Miaoge was an Energy Refinement Ninth Level cultivator and a Talisman Master herself, she was nonetheless the junior he had watched grow up, so such a reprimand was within reason. "Uncle Yuan Shan, it’s my fault, too," "Sister Miaoge told me not to go, but I thought with talismans at my side, there would be no issues," Lu Changsheng, expecting Lu Yuanshan to admonish Lu Miaoge after the fact, was surprised when Lu Yuanshan began to reproach her upon meeting. Knowing Lu Yuanshan’s concerns were well-intended, he immediately spoke up to smooth things over, taking some of the blame. "Alright, I won’t say more," "You two stay put in the shop tonight, and if there’s trouble, send me a message," Lu Yuanshan’s expression remained austere as he spoke, gesturing with his hand, and proceeded with his patrol. "Yes, Uncle Yuan Shan," "Uncle Yuan Shan, please take care,"
