Chapter 138 - 91: Seventh Level of Qi Refinement, Lottery!_2
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
“Boom!”
Lu Changsheng’s body shuddered intensely, and a wave of invisible dust spread out around him.
At that moment, he seemed almost ethereal, as if he were about to ascend, with his entire being feeling lighter and more translucent.
The Seventh Level Energy Refinement, achieved!
He suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart, slowly calming the agitated Spiritual Power in his meridians.
After a long while, his aura stabilized.
“The Seventh Level of Qi Refinement, I’ve finally stepped into the late stages of Qi Refinement!”
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, which sparkled bright, filled with joy as he spoke.
The Seventh Level of Qi Refinement signified his entry into the late phase of the Qi Refinement Realm.
This level of cultivation, even within the entire Lu Family, was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Only Lu Yuanding from his generation and the elders from the older generation of the high-ranking Lu Family members possessed such cultivation strength.
Among his peers and those of his age, Lu Changsheng knew only of Lu Miaoge.
He estimated that there were probably just a few other Lu Family disciples.
“The path of cultivation is myriad; it isn’t simply about bitter practice. Different people have different paths.”
“Some dedicate themselves to secluded cultivation; others go out to experience and fight, breaking through in life-and-death situations; there are also those who find their breakthrough opportunities amidst the chaos of the mortal world, observing the phenomena of life.”
“And today, I did something similar.”
“In the end, the bottleneck of cultivation boils down to a clear understanding and reaching a new spiritual realm of self.”
In this moment, Lu Changsheng also came to a realization.
Ordinarily, when reading books, he encountered numerous interpretations of the ways of cultivation.
But these things, upon reading or listening, seemed mystical and elusive.
However, just now, seeing the happy faces of his wives and children, he too experienced an epiphany, a sense of fulfillment, which loosened the bottleneck at the Sixth Level of Energy Refinement.
Cultivation breakthrough opportunities and bottlenecks, while seeming illusory,
Indeed, exist in this world.
Just like the common phenomena in the Cultivation World, such as Heart Demon oaths, the law of cause and effect, and the concept of destiny!
Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on it any longer and closed his eyes again, quietly experiencing the changes following the breakthrough.
The Spiritual Power flowing quietly through his meridians was not only much stronger but also became more lustrous.
In the Qi Ocean Core area, what was once wisps and streams like a creek of Spiritual Energy had formed into a small lake.
This was the Qi Lake!
A symbol of the late stages of Qi Refinement, the condensation of the Spiritual Energy into a lake!
When one’s cultivation reaches the pinnacle of the Qi Refinement Realm, and the Qi Lake becomes a vast sea, lifting the Dao Foundation, one can completely shed the mortal body and establish the Dao Foundation to become a Foundation Building Great Cultivator!
“The Seventh Level of Qi Refinement not only makes the Spiritual Energy several times more powerful, my Mental Spirit has also greatly improved!”
Lu Changsheng felt not only an abundance of energy and lightness in his body but also his consciousness and thoughts seemed much clearer.
This was the state of one’s mental spirit.
Breaking through from the Qi Refinement Realm to the Foundation Establishment Stage has three major obstacles.
The last of these barriers is the transformation of the Mental Spirit, giving birth to Divine Sense,
Which allows for the external projection of one’s spirit.
This is of great advantage when it comes to cultivation, combat, and other such activities.
“With my current level of strength, I can also try drawing Second Rank Talismans.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
While at the Sixth Level of Qi Refinement, as long as the materials for Talisman Making were available, he could create a Supreme Talisman.
Now that he had broken through the bottleneck and became a Seventh Level Energy Refinement cultivator, both his Mental Spirit and Spiritual Power had greatly increased,
Giving him the confidence and at least a seventy to eighty percent chance of success in drawing a Second Rank Talisman.
“But the materials for Second Rank Talismans are not only expensive, they aren’t as readily available as the First Grade talisman paper and Spiritual Ink, and are quite rare.”
“Moreover, if I want to draw Second Rank Talismans, my current Middle Grade Magic Artifact talisman brush obviously won’t do. I would need at least a First Grade Supreme Magic Artifact talisman brush.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
He was aware that he was missing the most crucial thing to draw Second Rank Talismans.
Money!
Without giving it much thought, he stood up, flung his sleeves, and with a gentle smile on his face, said, “Not bad, breaking through to the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement in less than seven years!”
“All these years of relentless effort haven’t been in vain!”
Pleased with himself, Lu Changsheng nodded and was about to leave the Practice Room.
However, just as he was about to open the door, Lu Changsheng paused.
He double-checked to make sure that the aura of his Spiritual Power was completely concealed by the Magic Artifact on his body and the Jade Pendant gifted by the colored skirt woman.
After all, to the outside world, he was still at the Fourth Level of Qi Refinement.
Now that he had made a breakthrough, he could at most reveal being at the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement.
Showcasing the Seventh Level would be impossible to explain.
Once sure there were no issues, Lu Changsheng finally opened the door and stepped out of the Practice Room.
Outside the small courtyard, his wives were all waiting for him.
Earlier, when Lu Changsheng mentioned he felt an epiphany coming and was about to break through, they all came to wait.
They hoped to be the first to see their husband after the breakthrough and to share the joy together.
“Husband!”
“Husband!”
“Husband!”
All of the women’s gazes converged on Lu Changsheng, calling out in unison.
Seeing the scene before him, where the women’s eyes were filled with love, admiration, and concern, Lu Changsheng chuckled and said, “Heh, it’s only a small step forward in cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng, with his handsome features, spoke with an air of composure and ease.
“Congratulations to my husband for breaking through to the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement!”
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s demeanor and posture, Lu Miaoyun immediately showed a face full of joy and was the first to congratulate Lu Changsheng.
“Congratulations to my husband for the breakthrough!”
“Congratulations to my husband for advancing further on the path of immortality!”
“Congratulations Dad!”
“Congratulations Daddy! You’re amazing!”
The rest of his wives followed Lu Miaoyun’s lead, bowing and instructing their children to offer their congratulations to Lu Changsheng.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but laugh heartily and said, “Good, good, good. Today, having broken through to the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement, we must celebrate properly!”
