Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 803: Chapter 295: Encounter in Immortal City, Demonic Body!_2

More than a decade had passed, and his close friend who first arrived at Azure Phoenix Immortal City with him died at the hands of demon beasts in the second year.

Over time, he had met many people, but after more than a decade, those who had left had left, and those who had died had died.

“I don’t even know, after all these years, I feel like I’ve gotten used to living this way. To go back now, not only would I be dissatisfied, I wouldn’t even know what to do.”

Li Feiyu shook his head and smiled, “Just like you said at the beginning, Changsheng, we are fortunate to possess Spiritual Roots and have a fate with immortality. Having embarked on this path, we should advance bravely and diligently, pushing forward to live up to the generous gift from the heavens.”

“If we choose to give up on ourselves, to abandon the journey halfway through, how could we be content to live a mediocre life with that weighing on our hearts?”

His initial arrival at Azure Phoenix Immortal City was driven by the hope to carve out a future for himself, to build a foundation for success. To achieve Foundation Establishment was to succeed!

...
But now, having seen and learned so much, his ambitions had broadened and he was no longer content with just Foundation Establishment.

In his view, Foundation Establishment was merely the true entrance into the Cultivation World, the starting point to experience the wonders it had to offer.

Once he achieved Foundation Establishment, he would never want to go back.

“Sigh.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng understood Li Feiyu’s thoughts.

If he wanted to succeed in cultivation, he would have to fight for it here in Azure Phoenix Immortal City.

Choosing to go back would be tantamount to giving up on his cultivation halfway.

Yet, having experienced the wonders of the Immortal World, how many would willingly settle for a life of mediocrity?

Or rather, being content with the ordinary wasn’t an option for Li Feiyu; he wouldn’t have chosen to come to Azure Phoenix Immortal City, witnessing all kinds of cruelty, and still hold on.

“Feiyu, you’re at the Ninth Level of Energy Refinement now, you should be preparing for Foundation Establishment, right?”

Lu Changsheng broke the silence and inquired.

Even though the other party had a method of concealing his cultivation, it was an open book in front of his Divine Sense at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

“Mm, the Beast Tide came recently, I was lucky enough to make a small fortune, gathering a lot of materials.”

“I’m currently looking for people to pool resources for Alchemy. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll wait until I have enough Spirit Stones to bid on a Foundation Establishment Pill,”

Li Feiyu explained.

“Pooling resources for Alchemy?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised to hear this.

“Hehe, this is a common method for Loose Cultivators in Azure Phoenix Immortal City to obtain Foundation Establishment Elixirs.”

Li Feiyu smiled and clarified, “It’s very hard for a Loose Cultivator to gather all the materials needed for a Foundation Establishment Elixir on their own, so they often cooperate with others.”

“For example, someone who is lucky enough to obtain a Heavenly Spirit Fruit or a special Monster Core but lacks other complementary materials would seek to cooperate with someone who has them.”

“In this way, when the Elixir comes out of the furnace, whoever contributed the most gets first pick.”

“If only one pill is successfully formed, only one person can choose, and the others have to accept their loss, but if there are multiple pills, everyone stands to gain,”

Li Feiyu said.

“I see.”

Lu Changsheng nodded his head upon understanding.

He thought that it was quite a scheme, something he had never heard of before coming to Azure Phoenix Immortal City.

“How are your preparations going?” Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

“For the Foundation Establishment Pill, I’m just short of the main ingredients and a few key supplements.”

“If there’s someone willing to cooperate, I can offer money to purchase these supplements, which is not too difficult in the Immortal City.”

“If no one wants to cooperate, then I’ll just sell these materials for Spirit Stones when the time comes,”

Li Feiyu said, looking completely unfazed.

“Feiyu, I just happen to have a Foundation Establishment Elixir here, you can buy it from me. If you don’t have enough Spirit Stones, you can pay me back later,”

Lu Changsheng said, taking out a Foundation Establishment Pill he had obtained from Xiahou Wuwo and handed it to Li Feiyu.

Since he was able, he naturally wanted to lend a hand to his good brother in such a situation.

Initially, he had sold and given away a Foundation Establishment Elixir to Qing Zhu Mountain for the sake of Lu Family loyalty and Lu Miaoge.

He had written an IOU for Zhao Qingqing for a Foundation Establishment Elixir out of acquaintance and with a bit of ulterior motive.

But giving the Foundation Establishment Elixir to Li Feiyu now held no hidden agenda.

It was purely for the friendship they shared back then and the life-saving grace he had received from Li Feiyu.

As for why he didn’t just give it as a gift, he knew Li Feiyu well enough; he would definitely refuse to accept it if it was offered for free.

“Foundation Establishment Elixir!?”

Li Feiyu was astonished when he heard Lu Changsheng nonchalantly offer him a porcelain bottle.

Although he knew his friend had had some fortune and was now no ordinary elder, he never imagined that Lu Changsheng would casually offer up a Foundation Establishment Elixir, suggesting he could owe the Spirit Stones if necessary.

Having been in Azure Phoenix Immortal City for so many years, he had not only seen but also experienced friends backstabbing each other for profit.

Yet here, Lu Changsheng was offering him a Foundation Establishment Elixir so generously, it really moved him, and he was at a loss for words.

“After all these years, you haven’t changed a bit, Changsheng.”

Li Feiyu said with a wistful smile.

He had always known that Lu Changsheng was exceptionally generous with those around him.

Back in the day, most of his Spirit Stone expenditures were for his wives, concubines, and children.

When he had gone out for trials, Lu Changsheng gave him a stack of Talismans, a Middle-Grade Puppet, and three hundred Spirit Stones.

Years had passed, and Lu Changsheng had become even more generous.

Now he was even taking out such a rare Elixir Medicine as a Foundation Establishment Elixir so casually.

At that moment, Li Feiyu’s emotions were complex, flooded with numerous feelings.

After so long in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, he had witnessed countless people fighting to the death for a single Foundation Establishment Elixir, losing their lives in the process.

Even he could not guarantee he would be able to secure a Foundation Establishment Elixir before the age of sixty.

Yet Lu Changsheng could so easily produce one.

“Hehe, it’s our friendship that hasn’t changed.”

Lu Changsheng placed the Foundation Establishment Elixir on the table and laughed, “Let’s not stand on ceremony with each other. If you really feel uncomfortable about it, you can repay me more when you have the Spirit Stones, think of it as interest.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll fail the Foundation Establishment?”
