Chapter 319: Chapter 148: If You Feel Bad about It, Have a Few Children_1
Several days later, the sky cleared up, and the rain ceased.
“Poof~”
Lu Changsheng flipped over and rose to his feet.
He took out three elixir medicines and swallowed them, holding two spirit stones in his hand, he sat cross-legged in cultivation, absorbing and devouring copious amounts of pure spiritual energy.
In the next moment, within the sea of qi in his dantian, a drop of liquid mana formed, resembling seven-colored glazed glass.
It merged into the multicolored dan lake.
Making the dan lake ripple gently, growing slightly in size.
“Phew, this effect is simply astonishing.”
“But it seems the dual cultivation with Xi Yue also has an enhancing effect!”
Lu Changsheng was somewhat astonished and amazed just to have condensed a drop of liquid mana by himself.
From Qi refinement to the breakthrough of Foundation Establishment, he had condensed a total of a hundred drops of liquid mana within his dan lake.
Once the total amount of liquid mana reached one hundred and fifty drops, he could attempt the Second Level of Foundation Establishment.
Lu Changsheng had not expected that just a few days of dual cultivation with Xiao Xiyue would directly condense a drop of liquid mana.
This speed was truly astonishing.
“Based on my current speed of cultivation, it takes roughly two months to condense a single drop of liquid mana.”
“So these days of dual cultivation are about the same as two months of arduous cultivation for me.”
Lu Changsheng calculated in his heart.
Previously, his days of dual cultivation with Lu Miaoge amounted to at most half a month’s worth of arduous cultivation.
But with Xiao Xiyue, it was comparable to two full months of arduous cultivation.
This led Lu Changsheng to speculate that it wasn’t just the Yin Yang Five Elements Foundation Base that enhanced dual cultivation.
It was also the added benefit from dual cultivating with Xiao Xiyue.
However, he wasn’t greedy.
The mana cultivated in this manner ultimately wasn’t as consolidated as that which he cultivated steadily and methodically.
It required time to stabilize.
Otherwise, it would result in a weak foundation.
So it was something to indulge in occasionally, a fun activity between husband and wife cultivators.
“But now that I’m at Foundation Establishment, I can condense the ‘Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp,’ which not only purges elixir toxicity and guards my mental spirit,”
“but also has the effect of burning nature’s spiritual energy, speeding up cultivation, solidifying mana, and strengthening my foundation!”
“So occasionally indulging a little shouldn’t be a problem,”
Lu Changsheng also thought about the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp he had been yearning for.
This heart lamp not only aided in cultivation but also possessed combat capabilities.
It could enhance his combat power at the Foundation Establishment stage.
“Sigh.”
At that moment, Xiao Xiyue also opened her eyes from her meditation, and her clear beautiful eyes overflowed with tender affection as they looked towards Lu Changsheng.
The Tender Embrace Technique was certainly not an Energy Drain Technique.
It was a superior dual cultivation technique.
Not only beneficial for Lu Changsheng but also for Xiao Xiyue.
Especially the past several days of dual cultivation, which allowed Xiao Xiyue to gain a deeper understanding of the second level of Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, “Clouds Have Emotions, Moon Has Emotions.”
“Xi Yue, have I broken your Supreme Forgetful Love Technique again?”
Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue, whose face was full of gentle love, took her into his arms, and teasingly said.
He also knew that Xiao Xiyue’s Supreme Forgetful Love Technique would make the practitioner emotionless and indifferent as they cultivated further into it.
Even though he didn’t want her to end up like that,
seeing that Xiao Xiyue regained her bright and soft demeanor after breaking through Foundation Establishment, he couldn’t help feeling worried.
Worried that, besides her Dao Foundation, some other problems arose in her cultivation.
“Yes, in front of Lu Lang, how can Xi Yue adhere to Supreme Forgetfulness,”
Xiao Xiyue spoke faintly.
Yet a hint of deep affection shimmered in her eyes.
It was exactly this thread of affection that had compromised her Dao Foundation.
And after completing Foundation Establishment, as the two of them continued to dual cultivate, this thread of affection began to spread anew within her heart.
She did not suppress these feelings, allowing them to spread and ferment.
Lu Changsheng noticed Xiao Xiyue’s demeanor and knew that she should be all right.
Immediately, he pinched her cheek and chuckled, “In that case, does Xi Yue have to cultivate by my side for a lifetime?”
“Yes, if Xi Yue can never break through Supreme Forgetfulness, then I’ll have to cultivate by Lu Lang’s side for a lifetime,”
Xiao Xiyue playfully responded in a seemingly lighthearted manner.
But her heart skipped a beat.
Understanding that if the second layer of Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, “Clouds Have Emotions, Moon Has Emotions,” is as she surmised,
then breaking through this layer and advancing further would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Although she harbored feelings for Lu Changsheng, she also couldn’t let go of her aspiration towards the Dao.
“Since Xi Yue feels this way, then it’s fine not to cultivate that Supreme Forgetfulness.”
Lu Changsheng stated.
Although the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique is powerful,
he saw its side effects as too significant.
Hearing this, Xiao Xiyue’s eyes lowered, and her lips quivered as she bit her lip.
For a moment, she fell silent.
The Supreme Forgetful Love Technique was not like other cultivation techniques that could be readily changed.
Especially now that she had broken through to Foundation Establishment, to switch her practice would mean starting all over from scratch.
And she was unwilling to give up this Supreme Forgetful Love Technique.
Because it was only through cultivating this technique that she might be able to travel farther on the path of immortality and see a broader world.
“I was just saying it casually, Xi Yue, don’t take it to heart.”
“Besides, I believe that there are always ways to have the best of both worlds,”
Lu Changsheng said, seeing Xiao Xiyue in such a state, and spoke gently.
He knew techniques like the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique represented the foundation of the Dao for Xiao Xiyue,
and his words had clearly put Xiao Xiyue in a difficult position of choosing between her emotions and cultivation.
This understanding made him empathetic, and he did not wish to pressure her,
believing that in the future, he would find a way that could accommodate both.
“Changsheng… I’m sorry…”
Xiao Xiyue said softly, her voice trembling slightly.
Not only did she love Lu Changsheng, but she also felt a profound sense of guilt towards him.
The more understanding and accommodating Lu Changsheng was, the guiltier she felt.
Because she was acutely aware that her affection for Lu Changsheng was not pure,
and now it also encompassed the intention to use his cultivation for her own benefit.
In such circumstances, Lu Changsheng continued to support her, providing Foundation Establishment Elixirs and helping repair and refine her Dao Foundation without seeking anything in return. Her guilt weighed heavily on her.
