Ancestor Above Chapter 73

73 Helping you achieve Dao

Two months later, Lu Wenen broke through to the fifth-stage Qi refining realm.

He was already on the verge of a breakthrough. After his conversation with his master last time, he confirmed his thoughts and began to go into seclusion to try to break through. Today, he had succeeded.

Lu Wenen received a message the moment he came out of the quiet room.

His grandmother, Lu ranting, had come from anling and was already waiting at West Mountain Gate Square for more than a month. However, because Lu Wenen was in closed-door cultivation and trying to break through, she had specifically asked people not to disturb him.

After receiving the news, he immediately packed up and rushed down the mountain to visit his grandmother.

The Qingfeng sect was very large, and its territory was the size of a County. From the westernmost part to the easternmost part, it was probably more than ten thousand miles away. There was a spiritual vein almost every 100 miles, and these spiritual veins actually belonged to the branches of the level 5 spiritual vein at the xuanqing peak.

The xuanqing peak was the main peak with a level five spiritual vein, three level four spiritual veins as the main peak, and 19 level three spiritual veins as the small peaks. There were more than 100 level two spiritual veins around it, and the level one spiritual veins were even more densely packed and uncountable.

All of these together formed the vast land of the Qingfeng sect.

It was actually very inconvenient for Qi condensation cultivators to go out in such a large sect. Going out for a walk and wanting to leave the sect might take a long time.

Lu Wenen followed his master, Zhang Shiman, and lived in a second-grade spirit vein called ‘Mount he Liang'. His master was the only foundation building cultivator here, and he brought along more than a hundred Qi refining disciples. They might not all be Zhang Shiman's disciples, but they were still the ones who had a closer master-disciple relationship.

The Qingfeng sect didn't forbid the family and friends of its disciples from visiting, but they didn't allow anyone to enter either. They could only wait in the four mountain gates in the North, South, East, and West. At the same time, these four markets were also the four entrances and exits of the huge Qingfeng sect. The border of the Qingfeng sect was impassable, and it was surrounded by a huge formation that used the xuanqing peak as the core and connected with hundreds of spirit veins of various sizes.

If one didn't walk through the four mountain gates, one couldn't leave the formation.

These four mountain gates were, in essence, four markets built on top of the level two Spirit vein outside of the great formation. They were responsible for the communication between the Qingfeng sect and the outside world. They were usually very lively, and many inner sect disciples and foreign merchants would do some business here.

Within the ten thousand miles radius of the Qingfeng sect, there were 20000 cultivators scattered around. It was a vast land with few people. The most lively places in the Qingfeng sect were the xuanqing peak and the square Mountain Gate Square. Xuan Qing peak was bustling with noise and excitement because there were all sorts of sect meetings, competitions, announcements, and so on. Usually, not many people would go there.

Everyone knew that it was good to cultivate in a level five spiritual vein, but only a few people were qualified to open a cave abode on xuanqing peak.

Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Lu Wenen. It had been seven or eight days since he left Mount he Liang and arrived at the West Mountain Gate market.

From here, he followed the information he had received earlier and headed to the inn where his grandmother was staying.

After seeing her, he respectfully paid his respects. But after all, he was only a seventeen-year-old youth. Seeing his grandmother whom he had not seen for five years, he could not help but feel excited.

After talking about the stories in the mountains for a while, the two of them talked about serious business.

“Wenen, grandmother doesn't object if you want to join the Qingfeng sect's expedition to the northern border.”

Lu ranting's words surprised Wenen.

He had thought that he would have to spend a lot of time and effort to persuade his grandmother, who had always been concerned about him.

Lu ranting heaved a long sigh and continued, ” “I can understand your intentions after I received the letter from my family. No matter if you want to get the first place in the inner sect competition or save up ten thousand merit points, this trip to the northern border would be extremely beneficial. In a battle between cultivators, magical artifacts and cultivation techniques are of course very important, but after all, it's a competition between cultivators. If you can temper yourself in the northern border against the White ghouls, it will definitely be very beneficial to your future development.”

She was not the only one who wanted to say this. Lu chaoxi, the clan leader, also wanted to say this.

Lu chaoxi's words were actually Lu Qing's.

In Lu Qing's opinion, a greenhouse would not be able to grow any good flowers. Back then, he had fought his way to the position of a golden core cultivator from a rogue cultivator. He had fought for many opportunities on the brink of life and death.

If a person wanted to be successful, how could he not go through wind and rain?

After that, the two of them talked about the matter of his family helping him accumulate merit points.

I've asked the clan leader about this. The clan will provide you with support. Lu ranting said, ” within 15 years, the family will try our best to gather resources for you and Exchange them for merits to help you achieve Dao.

Lu Wenen's expression was solemn. He flicked his long robe and knelt down in front of his grandmother.”Wenen will never forget the family's kindness in raising him and supporting him!”

Lu ranting accepted the bow on behalf of the entire Lu family and said, ” “But you have to know that according to the rules of the family, these will not be for nothing. A few years ago, the clan provided a Foundation establishment elixir for your grandaunt xueting, so she owes the clan over ten thousand spirit stones. In the future, you'll be the same. This sum of money has to be returned.”

“Your grandson understands.”

It was true that Lu xueting owed the family a huge sum of money after she reached the foundation establishment stage.

The clan providing a foundation building elixir to the clansmen naturally couldn't come for nothing. In fact, all the resources provided by the clan to the clansmen were not for nothing.

This mechanism was equivalent to the clan giving out offerings, assigning tasks, and providing rewards to all the cultivators in the clan. The clan members who received the reward could spend spirit stones to exchange for all kinds of cultivation needs in the clan, be it cultivation methods, spell techniques, medicinal pills, or magic tools.

He was not cold-blooded. If he was like Lu xueting, who was not from the Lu clan and had no family clan, he was afraid that she would not be able to get a foundation building elixir in her life. She would also not be able to immediately equip herself with several level two magic tools when she had just built her Foundation.

Who would lend her ten thousand spirit stones for no reason? Before she built her Foundation, even if he sold her, she wouldn't be worth a fraction of the foundation building pill!

And the ten thousand spirit stones she owed was only in the account. In the future, the extra allowance that she would get for raising spirit beasts for the family would be used as repayment. For example, the attack on the water Ghost Lake was considered a mission. Every cultivator who went on a mission would receive an additional reward. As a Foundation establishment cultivator, Lu xueting would naturally receive more. It was just that the reward she received was also considered to be money to return to the family, so it was not directly given to her.

Lu Wenen was the same.

After he obtained the support of the clan, the clan would think of ways to give him some rare treasures. When he accepted some sect missions, the clan would do their best to help him complete them in exchange for merit points. All of these would be converted into spirit stones, and he would have to pay them back slowly in the future.

Of course, the clan would not exploit him, and the cultivation resources he needed would still be in his own hands. However, he had to contribute to the family most of the time.

To Lu Wenen, it was nothing for him to repay these spirit stones when he reached the foundation building realm in the future. For Qi refining cultivators, earning ten thousand spirit stones was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but for foundation building cultivators, it was much easier.
