......

Although this secret realm was not as powerful as the famous ones in the legends, such as the wood-attribute secret realm of the Qingfeng sect, this secret realm was not as powerful as the ones in the legends. However, it was more or less a secret realm, so what else was there to pick?

Moreover, this ancient secret realm wasn’t completely useless. The accelerated growth of medicinal herbs would turn this place into the best medicinal garden.

For example, the Millennium Golden Lotus, under the care of a level two Spirit botanist, when planted in a normal herb garden, its growth speed could be increased by about ten percent. The Millennium Golden Lotus that originally needed a thousand years to grow to become the main ingredient of the foundation building elixir, the growth time needed would be reduced to just over nine hundred years. However, if they were planted in this secret plane, the time would be shortened to 710 years.

It was quite valuable.

Now, the question was, where could the Lu family get some Golden Lotus?

This would be a long investment that would last for hundreds of years, and most families would not try to plant it.

Its growth cycle was simply too long. Plant it for a thousand years and rely on it to increase the family’s strength? Who knew what would happen a thousand years later?

The Golden Lotus itself was a kind of rare spirit plant. When it was only a few decades, one or two centuries old, it already had extraordinary medicinal power. It could be used as the main medicine for some second-tier medicinal pills, or the supplementary medicine for third-tier medicinal pills. Even if an ordinary family planted it, it would be difficult for it to survive for a thousand years. When it slowly matured, it would usually be used up in a few decades, one or two hundred years.

Mass production of foundation building pills through the cultivation of thousand-year golden lotuses was something that only a few major powers would do.

For example, the Qingfeng sect.

Furthermore, they had planted several batches of golden lotuses.

According to what Lu Qing knew, there were at least a few hundred golden lotuses planted in the Qingfeng sect’s herb garden. They had all kinds of golden lotuses. That was why they could open the furnace and refine pills every 15 years. As for how many foundation building pills they could refine for their disciples, that would depend on how many golden lotuses had matured that year. Sometimes, when there was only one, or even none, the amount distributed would be a little less, and some of the stock would have to be taken. Some of them were older, so he would get more and save some.

In addition to some additional supplements, such as the level three white ghost soul Pearl and the level three demonic core that he occasionally obtained, he could also produce some additional foundation building pills.

However, Lu Qing felt that the Lu clan could also start to prepare for this matter.

Moreover, he had a bigger heart. There was no point in cultivating one or two golden lotuses. As mentioned before, it was too difficult to wait for a thousand years. He also wanted the Lu clan to be like the Qingfeng sect, having a few hundred stalks of all ages, and then steadily producing a batch every few years. That would be the best.

However, this was also very difficult.

A mature thousand-year Golden Lotus would cost around 50000 spiritual stones. If it was an ordinary fifty-year-old herb, its value would be greatly reduced. However, it was still a level two high-grade herb, which cost seven hundred spirit stones each. A hundred-year one would cost two thousand, and a two-hundred-year one would cost five thousand; A five-hundred-year-old one would be worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, a seven-or eight-hundred-year-old one would be worth thirty to forty thousand spirit stones, and a nine-hundred-year-old one would be worth fifty thousand spirit stones.

It wasn’t a big problem to get a whole batch of young ones, but if you wanted to get them to be of a higher age, not only would they be expensive, but they would also be particularly difficult to buy.

This would be a very long-term job. Lu Qing had already given instructions to find some young and inexpensive ones to plant first. They could spend up to 800 to 10-year-old spirit stones to grow a few stalks that were ten to 20 years old.

For those who were older, he would think of a way later.

......

As for the longevity Scripture that he had retrieved from the clan, it was considered a very important secret in the clan. He did not even tell Lu mingling and Lu tingchou, the two new foundation building cultivators. Jin Chao, ke Jun, and little Weiwen had also been specially instructed not to tell anyone about this.

No matter what, the longevity Scripture was a Supreme-grade cultivation technique.

Lu Qing had heard of this technique when he traveled to the southern cultivation world. In the state of Qi to the southeast of Great Yan, there was a cultivation sect called the xianlai sect. One of their sect’s treasures was the transcendent-grade cultivation technique, the longevity Scripture.

Wasn’t the ultimate goal of immortal cultivation longevity? Although the increase in strength after cultivating the longevity Scripture was minimal, the fact that it could directly increase one’s lifespan was already very, very shocking.

As long as he finished the first three stages, his life would be extended by 105 years!

Moreover, increasing one’s lifespan often meant that there was a possibility of further growth in one’s strength. Foundation building cultivators had a lifespan of 180 years. There were many people who couldn’t reach the ninth layer of the foundation building realm or even touch the door to the initial enlightenment realm. However, if they were to live for another hundred years or so, there would be too many people who would have the chance to achieve initial enlightenment.

It was the same even if he was at the Golden core stage or the original infant stage.

The longevity Scripture that the xianlai sect possessed was not the complete version either. It only contained the contents of the first three levels. Those that the Lu clan had fished out from the secret realm were even weaker, only having the first two levels.

Xianlai sect was a powerful sect with a nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster, so of course they could guard this treasure.

However, the Lu family could not hold on. Even if there were two levels, it would still mean a total of 45 years of life. How much would a pill that could increase one’s lifespan by 45 years be worth? This longevity Scripture was something that anyone could try to cultivate.

This item would be of great help to the clan. With it, the chances of foundation building and initial enlightenment cultivators appearing in the Lu clan in the future would be much higher.

If she could successfully cultivate the first two levels of the longevity Scripture, and with the help of the huashou pill to restore her youth, she could even try to build her Foundation again.

However, it was impossible for it to be widely circulated.

Only the core cultivators of the clan would be taught the longevity Scripture. Moreover, in order to learn this Scripture, one had to make an oath of the soul in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble.

As for the possibility that outsiders might discover that the lifespans of the Lu family members were abnormal in the future, it was actually relatively easier to explain. After all, there were still many pills like the huashou pill in existence. At most, people would say that they were rich and generous. Not many people would make guesses about the longevity Scripture without any evidence.

After all, the longevity Scripture should only be available in the Qi Kingdom. It was one country away, and the Feiyun state was North of the Yan Kingdom. Not many people in the cultivation world knew about this cultivation method.

Don’t be too ostentatious and be careful. It shouldn’t be a big problem.

......

When Lu Weiwen returned home, she had already started to cultivate in seclusion. She even took the opportunity before the secret realm closed to bring some food and inedia pills into the secret realm.

This time, she could be considered to have forced a breakthrough. Although she succeeded, she had not polished herself enough at the ninth-stage Qi refining realm. After the forced breakthrough, her Foundation was somewhat unstable. She would need a relatively long period of time to calm her heart and cultivate.

The ancient secret realm was a good place to go. It was quiet and absolutely no one would disturb him. Furthermore, there was spiritual energy equivalent to a level-three spirit vein, which was even better than on Yuyan mountain.

In any case, the passage’s time had already been modified, and it would open again this time next year.

As for Lu Jinchao, she had already pulled her husband, Nian Kejun, to start cultivating the longevity Scripture.

The two of them knew about it, and they were the heroes who had obtained this Supreme-grade cultivation technique. Of course, they could try it.
