Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 185: Breakthrough! Breakthrough! Condensing the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi! (2)

Even ordinary walls were almost transparent to his vision.

”Enhancing divine sense really does have many advantages.”

”Not only for cultivation, but also for battles, and many other aspects.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He knew there were many more wonders to divine sense.

For example, with a stronger divine sense than others, one could easily see through their disguises and gauge their cultivation levels.

After chatting with his wives and concubines, he realized he had only been in seclusion for three days.

It hadn’t been long at all.

After having a meal with his wives, concubines, and children, Lu Changsheng announced his intention and began another period of secluded cultivation.

He was prepared to consume all nine remaining Purple Mansion Elixirs in one go.
…

One month later.

Inside the practice room.

”Boom——”

Lu Changsheng was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his body emanating a hazy treasured light that bestowed upon him an aura of majesty and sanctity.

At this moment, his physical body was undergoing a transformation, breaking through to the fourth level of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.

The surging blood qi within his body was constantly flowing, cleansing every inch of his flesh and skin.

The commotion grew louder and louder, like a volcanic eruption or the roaring of rivers, and it resembled the sonorous clang of metal on metal.

”Boom!”

After who knows how long, a sharp clang resounded within Lu Changsheng’s body.

He seemed to break free from shackles, as a light unfurled and shone through mountains and rivers; a brilliant, dazzling radiance emanated from within him.

”Huff!”

”Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, fourth level!”

The eyes of the seated Lu Changsheng suddenly snapped open, glowing with a golden treasured light.

He stood up, stretching his muscles and bones, producing a ‘crackling’ sound throughout his body.

He quietly felt the changes in his body after the breakthrough.

He just felt an inexhaustible strength filling his entire body.

”With the fourth level of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, my physical body is comparable to top-grade magic artifacts.”

”Now facing ordinary energy refining cultivators, I can boldly try to catch magic artifacts with my bare hands.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his palms, which were like jade.

They were still as white and delicate as ever, yet they exuded an unbreakable quality.

”Clang clang clang——”

He clenched his fists and collided them lightly, immediately producing a sound like the clash of metal.

When he collided them with a bit more force.

”Bang——”

A loud sonic boom echoed in the practice room.

”But sometimes, having too good of a physique isn’t a good thing either.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

His wives, concubines, and maids were all mortals and energy refining cultivators.

In comparison to him now, they seemed somewhat fragile, necessitating control of the impact force.

”My divine sense has finally reached one hundred and fifty zhang.”

”For ordinary cultivators, just after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, divine sense is about ten zhang, in the middle stage around fifty zhang, and in the late stage one hundred and fifty zhang.” Ŕ𝐚ɴȎВĚṨ

”Tsk tsk tsk, ten Purple Mansion Elixirs not only allowed my Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art to break through to the fourth level, but also advanced my divine sense to one hundred fifty zhang, comparable to the late Foundation Establishment stage.”

”Indeed, popping pills is the true path. Reliance on sheer personal effort in cultivation, unless one has a Heavenly Spiritual Root or an Earth Spirit Root, would mean this would be as far as one gets in a lifetime.”

Lu Changsheng sighed.

According to the progress in his Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, it would have taken about three more years to reach the fourth level.

This three-year estimate was already accounting for the assistance of a middle-grade magic artifact and its prototype.

If he were to cultivate at a normal pace, it would take twenty to thirty years.

However, ten Purple Mansion Elixirs saved him from such arduous cultivation.

As for the divine sense, the effects were even more extraordinary and stunning.

If he were to cultivate step by step on his own, it would likely take sixty to seventy years to reach this level of divine sense.

”Now that I have divine sense at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, I can also start studying this Divine Consciousness Secret Technique.”

At this point, Lu Changsheng took out a Technique Jade Slip from his storage bag.

It was the Red Phoenix True Scripture that he had obtained from the young man in the red robe.

Initially, he had only glanced at this technique.

It was a technique that veered towards the Heretical Path.

The only thing that impressed him was the Divine Consciousness Secret Technique named ‘Soul Dispersion Needle’ in the “Red Phoenix True Scripture.”

It allowed one to condense divine sense into a ‘Soul Dispersion Needle’ to launch a divine sense attack against enemies.

Back then, both he and Xiao Xiyue suffered from the ‘Soul Dispersion Needle’ used by the young man in the red robe.

Had it not been for his Peach Blossom Gu guarding his sea of consciousness, the situation would have been dangerous.

Now that he possessed divine sense comparable to someone in the late Foundation Establishment stage, he naturally planned to cultivate this secret technique.

In future battles, it would serve as an unexpected and preemptive strike.

Reading the cultivation method for ‘Soul Dispersion Needle,’ its condensation method, and its application, Lu Changsheng spent an hour to understand the principles and steps, and then began to try cultivating it.

He sat cross-legged with closed eyes, introspecting his sea of consciousness.

He formed a mysterious symbol with his divine sense in the sea of consciousness, with a subtle rhythm.

Then, through this symbol, he slowly condensed a red needle.

Some time later.

”Damn, is it really this hard to condense a single Soul Dispersion Needle?”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, somewhat at a loss for words.

He had made several attempts, using the power of his divine sense to condense the Soul Dispersion Needle.

But each time it failed to take shape before he could even really get started.

It was entirely a case of ‘I understand the principle and every step, but I just can’t do it.’

”This secret technique is many times more difficult than the Flame Bullet Technique, the Spiritual Eye Technique, or the Aura Concealment Technique I learned before. It’s going to be very hard to get the hang of it by figuring it out on my own.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, knowing full well the difficulty of cultivating a secret technique.

This Soul Dispersion Needle required divine sense to follow a mysterious rhythm and form into ancient, intricate runes before slowly condensing into the ‘Soul Dispersion Needle.’

Every step had to be flawless, and he would have to slowly become proficient with it.

Not like the techniques he obtained from the system, which he could master perfectly right away.

”Forget it, I’ll study it later.”
