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

He immediately turned to Yu Yuanshan and Yu Ningjun and said, "Now that the Lu Family has failed in Foundation Establishment, we can go back."

"Yes, ancestor."

A smile also appeared on Yu Yuanshan's face as he nodded.

The failure of the Lu Family in Foundation Establishment indicated that things would proceed according to their family's plan.

As long as the Zheng Family Ancestor, Lu Yuanzhong, was dead, those two spiritual lands, along with the Red Leaf Valley Market, would fall into the hands of their Yu Family.

By then, relying on the resources of these spiritual lands, their Yu Family would be able to rise even further!

"Yes, ancestor!"

Yu Ningjun originally wanted to go and see the faces of the Lu Family cultivators, to mock and ridicule them.

But he remembered that their purpose in coming here was to harass while concealing their identities.

Although it was likely that the Lu Family and other clan forces could guess that it was their doing,

such matters should not be brought into the open.

Otherwise, it would look too ugly.

Moreover, the Lu Family Ancestor, Lu Yuanzhong, was not yet dead.

If he were driven to desperation and flipped the table, laying a hidden trap to kill their Yu Family disciples, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Immediately, the three of them took one last look at Qingzhu Mountain, confirming that the Foundation Establishment had failed. They then transformed into escape lights and left the territory of Qingzhu Mountain.

Within Qingzhu Mountain.

"The spiritual energy vortex has dispersed, this is...a failed breakthrough."

"Damn it, if it weren't for these three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators constantly disrupting and harassing us, how could this have happened..."

"Is this the heavens wanting to destroy our Lu Family!"

"The family has elder Yuan Zhong and Uncle Changsheng, who is a Second Grade Talisman Master! There's still a chance to continue nurturing for Foundation Establishment in the future!"

The Lu Family members saw the dispersal of the spiritual energy vortex above Qingzhu Valley and all had unsightly expressions, feeling heavy-hearted.

Knowing the dispersal of the spiritual energy vortex signified that the Foundation Establishment had failed.

"Ancestor, I have failed your expectations, I've let the family down."

Lu Miao Feng walked out of the secret chamber weakly, his eyes bloodshot and voice hoarse.

Failure in Foundation Establishment, even after consuming a Foundation Establishment Elixir, caused him a certain amount of injury.

"Sigh, this is not your fault."

Lu Yuanzhong's face seemed to age a lot all at once.

Looking at the younger generation in front of him, he deeply sighed.

He was someone who had been through it all.

He knew the difficulty of Foundation Establishment.

Especially when the entire family's survival and future were all on one's shoulders.

This pressure, burden, and responsibility were truly too heavy!

Back then, he had a good environment to concentrate on breaking through Foundation Establishment.

But for Lu Miao Feng, this Foundation Establishment Elixir not only carried the future survival of the family,

it also embodied his high hopes and the sacrifice made by Lu Miaoge!

With all those psychological pressures, and coupled with the disturbance from external enemies, it was natural for his mental and emotional state to be affected.

And for breaking through bottlenecks and realms, the state of one's essence, energy, and spirit are all very important.

Lu Changsheng, preparing for his Foundation Establishment breakthrough, took nearly half a month to adjust his state even in a nearly sure-win situation.

"Ancestor."

"Paying respects to the ancestor."

"Ancestor, Miao Feng, Feng'er."

At this time, Lu Yuanding, Lu Miaoge, and other Lu Family elders and core members came to the depths of Qingzhu Valley to pay respects to Lu Yuanzhong and to visit Lu Miao Feng.

At this moment, they were all heavy-hearted.

The other Lu Family disciples were not aware of Lu Yuanzhong's condition.

Being Lu Family elders and part of the core leadership, they naturally knew that Lu Yuanzhong was now in a bad state with not much life left.

Now that Lu Miao Feng had failed in Foundation Establishment, within ten years, they would be powerless to gather the wealth needed to obtain another Foundation Establishment Elixir and to cultivate for Foundation Establishment.

"All the elders, Sister Miaoge, I've failed to meet your expectations, I've let the family down!"

Seeing everyone, Lu Miao Feng clasped his hands into fists, veins popping, biting his lips until they bled red, and bowed deeply with a hoarse voice.

He knew the family had spent much cost and effort on this Foundation Establishment Elixir and three Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.

But now, with his failed Foundation Establishment, all these costs and efforts had turned into ash.

"Miao Feng, you should rest well now, do not hurt your body and affect your foundation."

Lu Yuanzhong, seeing Lu Miao Feng in this state, sighed softly and had someone take Lu Miao Feng away to rest.

Although with the protection of a Foundation Establishment Elixir, failure in Foundation Establishment would not pose any major issues,

without proper recuperation and cultivation, it could still affect his foundation.

Especially with Lu Miao Feng's current mental state, which obviously had some problems.

If not adjusted, it could even lead to a Heart Demon.

The Lu Family's current high-level combat power was already scant, with no successors.

If Lu Miao Feng were to suffer another mishap, it would be another great loss for the Lu Family.

"Yes, ancestor."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Elders, Miao Feng is taking his leave."

Knowing his current state was very bad, Lu Miao Feng, with a pallid complexion, nodded slightly and bowed before excusing himself.

"Now that Miao Feng has failed in Foundation Establishment, in the upcoming time, consolidate and integrate the family business, and dispose of the smaller businesses..."

After Lu Miao Feng had left, Lu Yuanzhong looked at Lu Yuanding, Lu Miaochang, and the others, and spoke out.

It sounded very much like he was preparing the family for future contingencies.

"Yes."

The others, upon hearing Lu Yuanzhong's words, all looked heavy-hearted and troubled.

"Ancestor, I am now at the peak of the Ninth Level Energy Refinement. In a few months, once I refine my mana to be smooth and satisfactory, I can attempt Foundation Establishment."

At this moment, Lu Miaoge said with her lips pursed.

She had broken through to the Ninth Level Energy Refinement six years ago.

It was only because she switched to cultivating the "Saturn Solar Sword Technique" that she delayed her progress in cultivation.

"It's not possible."

As soon as she spoke, Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding immediately objected.

"Miaoge, if there is no Foundation Establishment Elixir, attempting Foundation Establishment is extremely dangerous without guarantee, and absolutely not something to try lightly."

Lu Yuanzhong looked at Lu Miaoge and said in a grave voice.

Apart from coordinating the three phases of Foundation Establishment and increasing the chances of success, a Foundation Establishment Elixir also protects the meridians and Dantian.

Otherwise, a failure in Foundation Establishment could lead, at the lightest, to injury and regression in cultivation level.
