Chapter 21 The Immortal Venerable personally cleanses the marrow and establishes the foundation, and
In the early morning, sunlight streamed into the living room of the rented apartment through the sheer curtains.
Lu Jingchen pushed open the door and entered, still carrying the chill of the early morning, looking travel-worn.
Lu Qingyuan was tidying up the breakfast bowls on the table when she saw him come in.
He immediately put down what he was holding and hurried over to meet her.
"Brother, you're finally back!"
Her tone was full of undisguised concern as she looked him up and down.
Fearing he might get hurt while out there, they dared not be careless in the slightest.
Lu Jingchen smiled and ruffled her hair, then pulled her to sit on the sofa.
The smile on his face faded, and his tone became serious.
"Qingyuan, give me your bank card number."
Lu Qingyuan was instantly stunned, blinking her big eyes with a puzzled look on her face.
"Why do you need my bank card number?"
Lu Jingchen spoke directly and without any ambiguity.
"I'll transfer the money to you."
Lu Qingyuan immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum, waving her hands repeatedly.
"No, no! Brother, I can't take this money!"
"It's not easy for you to work out there, keep the money for yourself."
"I'll be getting married someday, so I can't waste money!"
Lu Jingchen frowned slightly, his tone carrying an unyielding domineering air.
"Listen to me, this is your allowance from your brother."
"Buy whatever you want, eat whatever you want."
"I'm not short of money right now; my main focus is on spoiling my sister to an extreme."
Looking at the determined look in her brother's eyes, Lu Qingyuan finally couldn't persuade him otherwise.
Reluctantly, I took out my phone and opened the bank card interface.
Lu Jingchen picked up the phone and quickly tapped it a few times.
Within two seconds, Lu Qingyuan's phone chimed with a bank notification.
She looked down and opened it, her eyes widening instantly.
His mouth was so wide open it could fit an egg, and his voice was trembling.
"Two or three hundred thousand?!"
"Brother! Where did you get so much money?!"
Lu Jingchen handed the phone back to her, smiling gently.
"Don't worry about it, just spend it without worry."
"There will only be more in the future, enough to guarantee you a life of comfort and security."
"By the way, since we're free now, I'll teach you something good."
As he spoke, he got up and walked to the open space in the middle of the living room.
Sit cross-legged with your hands naturally resting on your knees, palms facing up.
With her back ramrod straight, she looked ethereal and otherworldly.
He waved to Lu Qingyuan, signaling her to come over.
"Qingyuan, come here and sit cross-legged like your brother."
Lu Qingyuan's eyes lit up instantly, her face full of excitement.
She immediately put down her phone, ran to the opposite side of him, and adjusted her posture to match his.
"Brother, is that so?"
She tilted her head and asked cautiously.
Lu Jingchen couldn't help but laugh when he saw her awkward posture.
"Yes, keep your back straight and your breathing steady."
"Don't be nervous, just relax."
As he spoke, he slowly stood up.
A faint, almost imperceptible glint flashed in the antique black ring on his finger.
A delicate and exquisite mutton-fat jade bottle appeared out of thin air in his palm.
Lu Qingyuan sat there, her eyes wide open.
He was frantically muttering to himself:
What?! Dude, is this some kind of magic trick?
That's ridiculous!
Is this the power of cultivating immortality? That's so cool!
Lu Jingchen raised his hand and uncorked the bottle, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire living room.
Just one whiff of it makes me feel refreshed and my mind clears up.
There was only one drop of crystal-clear, emerald-green chalcedony in the bottle, swaying slightly at the bottom.
It glows with a soft, faint light, and it doesn't look like an ordinary object.
Lu Jingchen's expression instantly became focused, and he spoke to Lu Qingyuan.
"Close your eyes, concentrate, and don't think about anything."
Lu Qingyuan immediately obeyed and closed her eyes, clearing her mind and calming her breathing.
Lu Jingchen brought his two fingers together, and a flash of inspiration appeared at his fingertips.
The drop of top-grade jade marrow flew out of the bottle and hovered in mid-air.
Guided by his fingertips, it slowly drifted towards Lu Qingyuan's brow.
With a gentle touch, it disappeared into her brow.
A vibrant green halo instantly emanated from Lu Qingyuan, enveloping her entirely.
She looks ethereal, like a fairy in a painting.
Lu Jingchen muttered the incantation in a low voice: "Guide Qi into the body, cleanse the marrow and build the foundation."
He walked slowly behind Lu Qingyuan and gently placed one hand on her back.
Gentle spiritual energy slowly flowed into her body, guiding the medicinal power of the jade marrow to travel throughout her limbs and bones.
Help her cleanse her meridians and expel impurities from her body.
Lu Qingyuan's previously tense brows slowly relaxed, and an expression of extreme comfort appeared on her face.
It felt like soaking in a constant-temperature hot spring; my whole body felt refreshed and invigorated.
Lu Jingchen thought to himself:
Qingyuan's physique is gentle and pure, she is practically born with the bones of a Daoist.
It is most suitable for cultivating the Moon Essence Profound Scripture.
Good. Once the marrow cleansing is complete, I will pass this technique on to her.
After more than ten minutes, the aura around Lu Qingyuan slowly faded and disappeared.
Lu Jingchen slowly withdrew his hand and put the small jade bottle back into his storage ring.
He lowered his voice and spoke to Lu Qingyuan.
"Alright, open your eyes."
Lu Qingyuan slowly opened her eyes, still a little dazed.
She suddenly wrinkled her nose and shrank back with a look of disgust.
"What the heck? It stinks! What's that weird smell?"
She looked down at her arm and immediately let out a scream.
"Ugh! Why am I covered in this black, sticky stuff?!"
My arms and neck were covered in a layer of greasy black grime, and they smelled terrible.
Lu Jingchen couldn't help but laugh when he saw her panicked expression.
"Don't be afraid, these are all impurities and toxins in your body."
"I just helped you cleanse your meridians and strengthen your foundation, and I've expelled everything from your body."
"Once it's expelled, your health will only improve."
Lu Qingyuan blushed when she smelled the stench on her body, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.
"No, no! It stinks too much! I can't stand it!"
She covered her nose and rushed into the bathroom like a rabbit.
The door slammed shut, and the sound of rushing water immediately came from inside.
About ten minutes later, the bathroom door was opened.
Lu Qingyuan came out from inside, her hair wet and dripping with water.
She looked like she had been reborn, with a rosy and radiant complexion.
Her skin was as white as jade, so smooth that you couldn't see any pores, and it seemed to glow in the sunlight.
Even her facial features have become much more refined, as if she's had a level 10 beauty filter applied.
She raised her hand to touch her face, her eyes shining like stars, her face full of surprise.
"Brother! Look! My skin has become so smooth!"
"It's a million times better than before! That's amazing!"
Seeing her happy expression, Lu Jingchen smiled and nodded.
"After the marrow cleansing, one is naturally reborn."
"This is just the beginning; there will be many more benefits to come."
He waved to Lu Qingyuan, his smile fading as he became serious.
"Come here, strike while the iron is hot, I'll teach you a cultivation technique."
"From now on, practice for one hour each morning and evening. No slacking off is allowed."
Lu Qingyuan immediately nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice.
"Okay! I promise I'll practice hard! I definitely won't slack off!"
She obediently ran to Lu Jingchen, sat cross-legged, and looked at him expectantly.
Lu Jingchen slowly walked up to Lu Qingyuan and stood behind her.
His hands flew rapidly in front of him, forming a complex hand seal.
He chanted the incantation in a deep voice: "Moonlight Supreme Mystery, Embrace the Primordial Unity."
A flash of golden light appeared at his fingertips, and he pointed a finger at the back of Lu Qingyuan's head.
A soft golden light instantly entered her mind.
The complete cultivation method of the "Moonlight Supreme Mystery Scripture," along with the secrets to its practice, were all imprinted in her memory.
The footage is cut quickly, and time passes little by little.
An hour later, Lu Jingchen slowly finished his practice and let out a long breath.
Lu Qingyuan slowly opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
Her entire demeanor has changed; she's become much more lively.
She looked at Lu Jingchen with delight, her voice full of excitement.
"Is this what it feels like to cultivate immortality? It's so amazing!"
"I feel a warm current flowing through my body!"
Seeing her curious expression, Lu Jingchen patiently explained.
"That warm current is the spiritual energy between heaven and earth."
"The entire technique has been imprinted in your mind. Just practice it accordingly."
"Don't be greedy, take it one step at a time, and be steady and pragmatic."
Lu Qingyuan blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
"Brother, when I've cultivated to a high level, will I be able to fly on a sword like you?"
"It's like flying through the air on a sword! It's so cool!"
Lu Jingchen was amused by her and patiently explained to her.
"The ranks in the cultivation world are strictly divided."
"The first stage is Qi Refining, and the next stage is Foundation Establishment."
"Above that are the Golden Core stage, the Nascent Soul stage, and so on upwards."
"Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you'll be able to barely fly by controlling objects."
"Once you reach the Golden Core stage, flying on a sword is as easy as playing around."
His voice gradually softened as the image zoomed out.
Lu Jingchen thought to himself:
The realms beyond the Golden Core stage are too far away; she wouldn't understand even if I explained them to her.
For now, that's enough for her.
