Chapter 842: Chapter 308: Breakthrough Core Formation, Stirrings of Affection! _3 Previously, she had never dared to dream of Core Formation, considering Foundation Establishment a success! But now, cultivating the Water of Virtue Technique, condensing a Perfect Foundation Base, and possessing Lu Changsheng’s Taiyi Dao Seed, she may not be able to break through to Core Formation yet, but she at least had the qualifications to attempt it! “Core Formation? Daoist Xiao’s senior sister?” Upon hearing this, Ling Zixiao couldn’t help but give Lu Changsheng a strange look. “My lord, do you recognize this True Person from Chu?” She looked at Lu Changsheng and asked aloud. ... Lu Changsheng: “???” What’s with this skeptical tone and expression? “I once met her by chance.” Lu Changsheng didn’t hide anything, noting that he had encountered this Fairy Qingyi during his initial visit to Jiuxiao Immortal City, where she was being pursued by the Xiahou Family. “How fitting for Lu Lang.” Ling Zixiao nodded thoughtfully. “Zixiao, what do you mean by that? Just because I met a female cultivator once, you think she has something to do with me?” Lu Changsheng spoke with a righteous expression. Although he had a somewhat intimate interaction with True Person Chu. But as a healer, he was solely focused on saving her without any ulterior motives! “My lady didn’t say that.” Ling Zixiao’s gentle smile came accompanied by an elegant look, her bright eyes brimming with innocence. “Hmph, starting to tease me, are you?” Lu Changsheng made a fierce face and immediately scooped up Ling Zixiao’s voluptuous and exquisite body. Ling Zixiao had agreed to having children, and since his trip delayed him so much, he naturally had to make up for lost time. … Afterward! “Zixiao, aside from the Spiritual Origin Pearl and the Spiritual Spring, do you know of any other methods to advance the Spiritual Vein?” On the white jade bed, Lu Changsheng held Ling Zixiao, whose body was soft as silk and whose cheeks were flushed, and he asked aloud. “Other than the Spiritual Spring, there’s only the Oceanic Bead, a treasure capable of nurturing Spiritual Veins.” “Otherwise, my lady isn’t sure. However, I’ve heard in the Cultivation World about methods to cultivate Spiritual Veins using Heavenly and Earthly treasures to accelerate their growth.” “But I’m not familiar with that area; my lord could ask Senior Red Lotus.” Ling Zixiao gently caressed her smooth, slightly bulging belly and spoke softly. After deciding to conceive a child with Lu Changsheng, she grew more and more excited about the pregnancy. Yet she knew that both she and Lu Changsheng, being Foundation Establishment Cultivators, wouldn’t find it easy to conceive. “Mm, I’ll ask Red Lotus later.” Lu Changsheng let his palm wander over her snow-white jade-like skin. “My lord, are you thinking about Core Formation?” Ling Zixiao softly asked. Given that Lu Changsheng mentioned Chu Qingyi’s formation of her Core today and now inquired about cultivating Spiritual Veins, he was evidently contemplating Core Formation. “Indeed, although I am still far from reaching Core Formation, I must start considering it…” Lu Changsheng spoke softly, sharing his concerns. “My lord could consider breaking through at Qingyun Sect when the time comes to form your core,” Ling Zixiao’s pale, delicate fingertips traced circles on Lu Changsheng’s chest as she spoke softly. “Qingyun Sect?” Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow. “Indeed, my lord once participated in the Immortal Sects’ examination at Qingyun Sect, and since then, he has grown under Qingyun’s rule. Nowadays, Bihu Mountain even offers tribute to Qingyun Sect annually.” “So, in the eyes of Qingyun Sect, my lord is considered to have a clear background, almost one of their own. As long as my lord is willing, with his identity and skills, entering Qingyun Sect shouldn’t be difficult.” Ling Zixiao snuggled in his arms and spoke softly, “My lord’s concern is that advancing to Core Formation too soon might attract trouble, others’ envy.” “Lord has a special relationship with Daoist Xiao. Now that her master and senior sister are both Nascent Soul Immortals holding significant sway in Qingyun Sect, with these two Immortals willing to help, my lord can certainly make a stable attempt at Core Formation in Qingyun Sect.” “Moreover, Qingyun Sect also hopes to increase the number of Nascent Soul Immortals within the sect.” Ling Zixiao’s voice was gentle and unhurried. “That makes sense.” Lu Changsheng spoke softly. He saw this as a plausible option. But with his Low-Quality Spiritual Root, breaking through to Core Formation within a century and condensing a High-Quality Golden Core would certainly bring him fame and attention. Though after breaking through to Core Formation, his strength would be enough to rank him among the top in Jiang Country. But in the Cultivation World, there were still Nascent Soul True Lords! Who knows if a Nascent Soul True Lord might covet his fortune and target him unexpectedly. After all, if truly targeted by a Nascent Soul, that would be troublesome. Therefore, if possible, Lu Changsheng would rather not undergo his Core Formation breakthrough under the public eye. … The next day, Lu Changsheng intended to inquire with Red Lotus about methods of cultivating Spiritual Veins. But the Ancient Beast Taming Charm was within Xu Ruyin. Currently, Xu Ruyin was in closed-door cultivation, bonding with her Life-bound Beast. He chose not to disturb her, planning to ask after Xu Ruyin emerged. In the following days, Lu Changsheng stayed at home practicing cultivation, making talismans, and crafting Elixir Medicines. Also, he had the shop at Red Leaf Valley display and sell Second Rank Elixir Medicines. Signaling that he, the Master of Bihu Mountain, crafted them. And also, undertook some Elixir Medicine crafting. Formally revealing to the outside world that he had become a Second-Order Alchemist. That day, in the Alchemy Room. Lu Changsheng was instructing Li Xingruo in Alchemy. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable palpitation, as though a string inside him had snapped. “Is this… the Lockheart Gu?” Lu Changsheng paused internally, his expression focusing slightly, mysteriously sensing the source of the palpitation was from the Lockheart Gu’s thread of attachment.
