After the witch ripped out his heart, this mortal body began to lose control.

The Heavenly Tribulation, also known as the Golden Core Tribulation, only descends when a cultivator forms their Golden Core.

If you want to withstand this kind of tribulation before your cultivation level has reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, you need to cultivate your physical body to the Golden Body stage.

The Golden Body Realm has seven levels, and each level requires several years of training to master.

If he were to cultivate normally for decades, he wouldn't have that much time.

Fortunately, the Chaos Creation Technique contains a method for rapid cultivation, but it requires the assistance of corresponding rare and precious materials.

He doesn't have much time left; he needs to quickly complete the first level of Body Refinement, Skin Refinement.

To quickly cultivate to the first level of Body Refinement, one needs to use one hundred Iron Scale Fruits as the main guide.

Add one hundred plants of Qingling grass and one hundred plants of Huangjing as auxiliary medicines, and decoct the three medicinal materials for three days.

Soak in the medicinal soup and practice the method for seven consecutive days, and it will be done.

……

Lu Changsheng got out of bed, walked to the broken table, sat down, and took stock of his belongings.

His current situation can be described in one word.

Poor! So poor it's practically bankrupt!

The storage bag shook and shook.

He revealed a total of thirty-three spirit stones, dozens of ordinary swords, and several bottles of pills for daily cultivation.

Want to quickly reach the first level of Body Refinement?

The hundred Qingling Grasses alone require a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Not to mention the even more expensive Polygonatum and Iron Scale Fruit.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny, and he is now truly experiencing that firsthand.

Are we just going to give up on this hard-won chance of survival?

Sigh! If only I hadn't called off the engagement three days ago.

With the Shen family's wealth and manpower, they might actually be able to achieve the Golden Body Realm within a year.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

The person who entered was none other than Lu Chengfeng.

"Chang Sheng, you're finally awake!" Lu Chengfeng said, holding a bowl of porridge. He started rambling as soon as he entered the room.

"You slept for three whole days."

Do you know how I've been these past few days?

"My old bones have been taking care of you day and night for three days and two nights without closing my eyes."

Seeing that Lu Changsheng was staring at the spirit stones on the table without saying a word, he immediately asked:

"What happened? Why do you look like you've been hit by frost as soon as you woke up?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, I have found a way to establish a foundation with mixed spiritual roots."

"Able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in a short period of time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengfeng smiled broadly: "That's a good thing! Why are you making such a long face?"

"It's just that the cost is a bit high, at least ten thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Even if you gave away our entire Yunshan Village, it wouldn't be enough.

"Tch! I thought it was something important. Turns out it's just your poverty acting up again."

"Drink this bowl of spirit rice porridge first. It's only ten thousand spirit stones, no big deal."

Looking at the porridge in the bowl, Lu Changsheng immediately asked.

"Where did you get your top-grade spirit rice?"

He knew his family's financial situation all too well; a pound of top-grade spirit rice cost ten spirit stones.

Grandpa poured all the family's wealth into their younger generation's cultivation.

Where would I find the spare money to buy such expensive spiritual rice?

"Where else could it have come from? It was bought with the betrothal money given by the Shen family."

The rest is all here!

As he spoke, Lu Chengfeng tossed the storage bag in front of Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up when he saw the storage bag.

The money came right away!

"Grandpa, if we run away from the marriage and spend the bride price, won't the Shen family kill us?"

"What do you mean, 'us'?"

"You were the one who ran away from the wedding, and the money was spent on you. What does that have to do with me?"

……

"You're my grandfather, and a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If you don't step up, who will?"

"You unfilial son, I'm so old, how dare you put me at the front?"

……

Never mind, let's reach the first level of body refinement first, and see how things go.

Besides, the Shen family hasn't come knocking on our door yet.

Even if they come, it won't make a difference!

I've spent the money, so what!

Thinking this, Lu Changsheng picked up the porridge and gulped it down.

After drinking the porridge, Lu Changsheng took out a piece of paper, wrote down a list of ingredients, and handed it to Lu Chengfeng.

"Grandpa, later you can find a few people to go to Yunyang City and buy back these materials for me. I need to prepare for Foundation Establishment."

"Don't worry, I'll have Chu Qiang take a few people to Yunyang City to get it for you later."

Lu Chengfeng took the list, but when he turned his head, he saw a sword hanging in the air not far away.

The black scabbard was pitted and uneven, and although it looked ugly,

However, its ability to levitate on its own is enough to prove its extraordinary nature.

"This sword is interesting; it actually followed me here on its own," Lu Chengfeng muttered to himself.

"Grandpa, what did you say?"

"Nothing, I was just asking if such a fine sword has been named yet?"

"How about shouting until a thousand troops are defeated!"

Lu Changsheng said the name without hesitation.

I had already witnessed the power of this sword in the ancient tomb; it was a sword that could be unstoppable by ten thousand men.

"good!

What a feat of breaking through a thousand troops!

Grandpa will let you try out this sword first!

He reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword, intending to draw it out and examine it closely.

Who knew that Lu Chengfeng's expression would change instantly as soon as he grasped the sword!

"Bang!!"

The sword tip suddenly slammed heavily into the ground, creating a large crater.

Lu Chengfeng gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands to prevent the entire sword from crashing to the ground, looking extremely strained.

Neither the grandfather nor the grandson expected this to happen.

"That's interesting!"

Lu Chengfeng refused to believe it and planted the sword tip on the ground. He then channeled all his spiritual power into his hands, trying to pull the sword out.

But as soon as he exerted his strength, his spiritual power was instantly drained by Po Qianjun!

"Bang!"

His hands suddenly lost their grip, and the sword hilt slammed heavily onto the ground.

"this……"

This scene surprised Lu Changsheng, who quickly stepped forward to support Lu Chengfeng.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

"You brat, what did you say?"

"I'm the number one person in Yunyang City, what could possibly happen to me?" Lu Chengfeng retorted stubbornly.

He quickly took out two Qi Gathering Pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Pshaw, you're just bragging."

Lu Changsheng retorted without hesitation: "The number one person in Yunyang City, would he be holed up in this tiny Yunshan Village?"

"You know nothing! I'm a reclusive master."

Lu Chengfeng glared at him.

"Hurry up and pick up the sword."

Lu Changsheng picked up the sword as instructed, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be very light, weighing at most ten pounds.

"Grandpa, this sword weighs only a little over ten pounds in my hands. How come you, with your Foundation Establishment cultivation, can't even lift it?"

Lu Chengfeng stepped forward, touched the black scabbard, and said in a deep voice:

"This sword is extraordinary; it is very likely an ancient treasure."

I tried to forcefully pull out the sword, but not only did I fail to do so, I also had all my spiritual energy drained.

The fact that you could pick it up so easily suggests that it has already accepted you as its master.

"Come, draw your sword and let me take a good look at it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng drew his sword without hesitation.

The moment the sword was drawn, it shone with golden light, and a clear dragon's roar echoed out at the same time!

Lu Changsheng casually swung his sword.

Suddenly, a golden sword light shot into the sky.

"Boom!"

The roof and walls of the hut were instantly cleaved in two by the sword energy.

The atmosphere inside the room froze instantly.

Lu Changsheng saw his grandfather's face gradually darken.

"You silly child, I told you to draw your sword, why did you tear the house down?"

Lu Chengfeng cursed in despair, but then thought that business was more important and decided not to dwell on it.

He pointed at the sword and said in a deep voice, "Now unleash its full power and slash at me."

Lu Changsheng did as instructed and swung his sword with all his might.

A pale golden sword aura hurtled towards Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng looked at the incoming sword energy and nodded in satisfaction.

He used one hand to defend himself.

"Boom!"
