Not only was he unwilling to help, but he also never allocated any significant spiritual medicines from the medicine garden to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hindered the improvement of her spiritual plant cultivation skills, making it impossible to earn sufficient contributions in the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I happen to have a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

If Zhao Daoist doesn’t have the spirit stones right now, you can owe the amount and repay it in installments over time,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng said with a smile, taking out the Foundation Establishment Elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his own cultivation journey had been smooth so far, he was aware of the difficulties ordinary cultivators faced in attempting Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary cultivators with decent talent who dedicated themselves to cultivation, reaching the ninth level of Qi refinement wasn’t too hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once at the ninth level, securing a Foundation Establishment Elixir and Spiritual Objects became an enormous challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like Zhao Qingqing, with a unique skill and backed by a sect, was already fortunate to enjoy many conveniences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most loose cultivators, without any good fortune, would have no choice but to become robber cultivators, hunt demon beasts, or explore ancient ruins for spirit stones to earn a chance at Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they typically risked their lives on one or two Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, gambling on a future with slim hopes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Owe it… and repay it in installments…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingqing’s beautiful eyes flickered, her expression slightly dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why would Lu Daoist help me in such a manner?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the handsome Lu Changsheng in front of her, a notion crossing her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years ago, when the cultivation of spiritual plants and medicines on Bi Lake Mountain had become stable, requiring little from her as a second rank Spiritual Plant Master, she had considered resigning from her position as a Guest Elder of Bi Lake Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Changsheng assured that with her, a Spiritual Plant Master, any unforeseen events could be resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could even offer guidance on issues related to Spirit Plants to his wives and children in her spare time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he continued to employ her as a Guest Elder in his household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as she prepared for her Foundation Establishment, Lu Changsheng not only offered to sell her a Foundation Establishment Elixir but also allowed her to owe it to him and repay it slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, it might have been alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could she explain it now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Foundation Establishment Elixir, something countless Energy Refining Cultivators dreamt of obtaining!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single Elixir Medicine was worth twenty thousand Spirit Stones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she succeeded in her Foundation Establishment, she would have the means to repay the Elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if she failed to break through…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qingqing wasn’t foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had joined the Immortal Sects,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she had experienced a lot over the years and understood the warmth and coldness of society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was Lu Changsheng so willing to help her? What was his intention?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it because of her abilities, or… her looks?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she knew she was good-looking, she wasn’t exceptionally beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even couldn’t compare to some of Lu Changsheng’s wives and concubines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lu Changsheng’s current status, if he was willing to offer a Foundation Establishment Elixir, countless beauties would volunteer themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But apart from such a possibility, she really couldn’t think of any other reason…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lu Changsheng had so many beautiful wives and concubines, and it seemed he was still continuously taking in more concubines and maids…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your kind offer, Daoist Lu, but I’d better not, I really don’t know how to repay such a favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Zhao Qingqing was very tempted by the Foundation Establishment Elixir, she still shook her head and declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had her own principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If for the sake of this Elixir, she gave up her principles, then there was no need to wait until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she agreed to her master’s matchmaking, she might have already achieved Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once Zhao Daoist breaks through to Foundation Establishment, as a disciple of the Immortal Sects, repaying these won’t be a problem in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or do you feel that acquiring this Foundation Establishment Elixir is too easy and lacks a sense of achievement? Or perhaps you’re worried about failing the breakthrough and being unable to repay it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t surprised by Zhao Qingqing’s response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their relationship, though not bad, wasn’t close enough to owe twenty thousand Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daoist Lu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qingqing gave Lu Changsheng a glance, what did he mean by no sense of achievement, worrying about failing the breakthrough and being unable to repay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t wrong either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She truly did feel that the Foundation Establishment Elixir came too easily, incurring too great a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she failed to break through with this Elixir, repaying it would be too hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhao Daoist, we have known each other for many years. If I’m willing to produce this Foundation Establishment Elixir, it means I trust your character.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you need it, just accept this Elixir and don’t put too much psychological burden on yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re really worried about repaying it, you can deduct from the Guest Elder fees and work for my Bi Lake Mountain for twenty years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng saw that Zhao Qingqing was in a dilemma and smiled openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had a few other intentions in giving this Elixir, he indeed partly wanted to help a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qingqing’s expression twisted in conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew if she missed this opportunity, another like it might not come again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she couldn’t resist the temptation of Foundation Establishment and softly said, “In that case, thank you, Daoist Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please rest assured, Daoist Lu, I will repay this Spirit Stone debt and favor as soon as possible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qingqing accepted the porcelain bottle with a grave face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, of course, I trust Zhao Daoist’s character.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this is a Premium Foundation Establishment Elixir!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qingqing opened the porcelain bottle and immediately showed surprise, astonishment, and delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep in mind, her expectations were just for a Standard Foundation Establishment Elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Lu Changsheng had actually provided a Premium Foundation Establishment Elixir, truly adding an unexpected joy to her experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this almost touched upon her half chances of successful Foundation Establishment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This favor from Daoist Lu, I really don’t know how to repay it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qingqing looked at Lu Changsheng with mixed feelings, feeling that this favor she owed was a bit too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1807,"2026-05-29T15:30:40.095Z","2026-06-01T04:29:36.927Z",1,"novelbin.me","3b87857fd6ffd9dcca3abf2a23b900951e1e025322fb860d70cadc0612aaf40e","starting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-chapter-777","starting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-chapter-775",2404,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-cover.jpg"]
