Chapter 160: You are all my wings, top-grade spiritual roots!

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

After a night of passionate intimacy with Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng headed to the cave dwelling area early the next morning.

“Xi Yue, it’s me, open the door.”

Arriving at the entrance of a cave dwelling, Lu Changsheng took out the communication talisman he had with Xiao Xi Yue.

Soon, the cave dwelling’s restrictions opened.

Xiao Xi Yue appeared, dressed in a moon-white dress, her face pure and ethereal, like a celestial maiden from the Moon Palace.

“Changsheng.”

Seeing Lu Changsheng, her cold expression instantly melted like ice and snow, revealing a smile.

“Have you missed me these days?”

Lu Changsheng naturally took Xiao Xi Yue’s soft, smooth, and slender white hand, and said softly.

After entering the cave dwelling, he embraced the beauty.

The familiar rich and delicate fragrance filled his nostrils, making him feel refreshed.

Even though the two were already intimate, after half a year apart, Lu Changsheng’s intimacy upon meeting again still made Xiao Xi Yue’s cheeks flush red.

However, this behavior, along with the gentle words, did not repel her, but instead made her heart, which was supposed to be detached from emotions, tremble.

She didn’t suppress her inner feelings, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she whispered, “I missed you.”

“Xi Yue missed me, and I have been thinking about Xi Yue too.”

Lu Changsheng hugged the fragrant and soft jade in his arms and whispered in her ear.

Hearing these words, Xiao Xi Yue felt waves of sweetness surge in her heart.

But she wasn’t a naive little girl who could be easily deceived.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Changsheng and smiled charmingly, “Hmph, sweet talk. With so many beautiful wives and concubines at home, how could you remember me?”

“Xi Yue, are you jealous?”

“You are all my wings, how could I forget you? I came to see you as soon as I had time.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and didn’t dwell on the topic. He said softly, “Xi Yue, let me see how your Dao foundation is now.”

“Mmm.”

Xiao Xi Yue couldn’t help but let out a soft groan from her delicate nose, and slowly closed her beautiful eyes.

Accompanied by rustling sounds, her two long and straight jade legs tensed.

Her snow-white jade feet, wrapped in moon-white silk stockings, involuntarily curled her ten crystal-clear toes.

After a long while.

After the matter.

Xiao Xi Yue refined the Yin and Yang energies, consolidating her Dao foundation.

Gently leaning in Lu Changsheng’s arms, she said, “Changsheng, I heard a piece of news in the sect.”

“Meng Zhenren’s grandson, Meng Yibai, whom we met at Qingyun Market before, is dead.”

Xiao Xi Yue said.

Meng Yibai was not only the grandson of a Pseudo-Dan Zhenren.

He was also a core disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

Even in a celestial sect like the Qingyun Sect, Foundation Establishment cultivators were very precious, belonging to the backbone of the sect.

Moreover, Meng Yibai was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Now that he had fallen outside, it was considered a significant piece of news in the Qingyun Sect.

“Meng Yibai?”

Lu Changsheng was playing with the soft, full snow buns like a full moon. Hearing this, he raised an eyebrow.

Since Xiao Xi Yue told him this news, she must have guessed that he was the one who did it.

He didn’t choose to hide it and chuckled, “After I left the market, he inexplicably came to hunt me down, so I killed him.”

Hearing this, Xiao Xi Yue didn’t show any surprise.

Just as Lu Changsheng had guessed, after hearing the news, she faintly felt that it was related to Lu Changsheng.

Especially after learning about the general situation and Meng Yibai’s character, she was almost certain that Meng Yibai had died at Lu Changsheng’s hands.

Although she didn’t know how Lu Changsheng, who had just broken through to Foundation Establishment, could kill Meng Yibai, who was in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

But the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation, as well as his previous performance in killing the red-robed youth, made Lu Changsheng’s image in her heart become tall and mighty.

She felt that although this matter was shocking, it was also reasonable.

After all, how could the person she, Xiao Xi Yue, liked be so simple?

“Changsheng, regarding Meng Yibai’s matter, although this Meng Zhenren hasn’t inquired about you, I learned that she went to Qingyun Market to investigate and may have targeted us.”

“She didn’t ask me about this because she was afraid of my master.”

“As far as I know, this Meng Zhenren loves her grandson Meng Yibai very much, and she will definitely not let this matter rest easily and will continue to investigate.”

“When I went down the mountain this time, I also disguised myself and hid my identity. You should also be careful in this regard in the future.”

Xiao Xi Yue leaned in Lu Changsheng’s arms and said softly.

After guessing that Lu Changsheng had killed him, she naturally went to understand the situation.

Knowing that Meng Xiangu had left the Qingyun Sect to investigate the situation as soon as Meng Yibai died, and went to Qingyun Market to inquire.

If she inquired at Qingyun Market, she and Lu Changsheng might be put on the suspect list.

And cultivators never talk about evidence when they do things.

Especially when there is a gap in strength between the two sides, they will not talk about evidence even more.

She has a Core Formation master, so naturally, she has nothing to fear.

But once Lu Changsheng is targeted, he may be in danger and trouble.

This is also the reason why she told Lu Changsheng about this matter.

“Okay, I will be careful in this regard.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Although he had refined the怨魂丝 (resentful soul silk), so that this Meng Xiangu couldn’t track him down.

But the place where he killed Meng Yibai was not far from Qingyun Market.

If the Qingyun Sect sent people to investigate, they might be able to find some clues.

After all, there are many methods in the cultivation world, and no one can say for sure about this kind of thing.

“Xi Yue, what about the Qingyun Sect?”

“Is there any movement regarding Meng Yibai’s death?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

He wanted to know how the Qingyun Sect would generally deal with this situation.

“The sect has sent people from the Criminal Law Hall to investigate.”

“But Meng Zhenren herself has not been able to inquire about relevant information, and the Criminal Law Hall is just going through the motions.”

Xiao Xi Yue shook her head gently.

The death of a core disciple, although it angered the Qingyun Sect.

But it wasn’t enough to make a big fuss.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Now that almost half a year has passed, the Qingyun Sect and that Meng Zhenren have not made any movements, indicating that this matter has not been found on him for the time being.

It’s just that this Meng Zhenren has lost such a grandson, and she will definitely not give up easily. He still has to be more careful.

At least the few spiritual weapons on Meng Yibai’s body, the Earth Spirit Mouse, the pet egg, and the talisman treasure, cannot be easily revealed.

If they are revealed and sold, they may be noticed by the Qingyun Sect, or even that Meng Zhenren.

The two chatted and cuddled for a while before Lu Changsheng got up and left.

He still had wives and children to take care of and couldn’t stay with Xiao Xi Yue all the time.

He came here this time to see Xiao Xi Yue and repair her Dao foundation.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

During these days, Lu Changsheng had been in the Hongye Valley Market.

Every day he was making talismans, refining the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi, dual cultivating with Lu Miaoge and taking care of the baby, and repairing Xiao Xi Yue’s Dao foundation.

The days were extremely fulfilling.

Now that he has established his foundation, the speed of refining the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi is much faster.

In at most a year, he will be able to finish refining this Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, so as to condense it into his body and use it to cultivate the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.

As the dual cultivation gradually became more frequent, Lu Changsheng also realized more and more the importance of a good body.

However, now that his physique is good, ordinary concubines are already somewhat unable to withstand his powerful impact.

Lu Changsheng felt that even if his Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art was raised a few more levels, he would not be able to have a good time, and he would have to find a few female cultivators who also practiced body refinement.

Half a month ago, after Lu Miaoge took the Three Yang Pills, she successfully broke through from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

It is estimated that in five or six years, she will be able to reach the perfection of Qi Refining and prepare to attack the Foundation Establishment stage.

Living a fulfilling life in Hongye Valley Market, Lu Changsheng did not forget his wives and concubines at home.

After saying goodbye to Lu Miaoge and Xiao Xi Yue, he returned to Qingzhu Mountain.

After all, his base camp is still in Qingzhu Mountain.

He also always kept in mind his original intention and firmly adhered to the two guiding principles of ‘raising the baby well and making the baby well’.

After returning to Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Changsheng learned that his efforts over the past half month had resulted in his concubine Kui Si becoming pregnant.

To this, Lu Changsheng was gratified. After caring about the situation of his wives, concubines, and children, he continued his great cause of making babies.

After staying in Qingzhu Mountain for more than half a month, and another maid became pregnant, Lu Changsheng rode the Iron Feather Eagle to Ruyi County.

One was to go back to see his wives and children.

The other was to see the little girl Bai Ling.

After all, it had been half a year since their last parting.

He couldn’t let this little girl forget about him.

Moreover, she could also try to cultivate now.

Arriving at Ruyi County, Lu Changsheng first went home to visit before heading to Bai Ling’s residence.

“Brother!”

Bai Ling was learning weaving from Granny Zhao.

Seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, her little face immediately lit up with joy, and she ran over.

She was still wearing that exquisite white flowing dress.

But looking at Bai Ling now, Lu Changsheng felt that she had become a bit more charming and alluring than half a year ago.

Although the word ‘alluring’ was very inappropriate for a twelve-year-old girl,

Lu Changsheng just had that feeling.

Moreover, he could clearly sense that this was not his imagination.

She really had changed in that aspect.

This made Lu Changsheng guess that it should be related to Bai Ling’s physical condition.

After all, he had previously seen Bai Ling’s eyes show signs of being swayed and slightly dazed.

“Master,” Granny Zhao said respectfully upon seeing Lu Changsheng.

She also knew that she was able to have this kind of life entirely thanks to Bai Ling’s good fortune.

So she was very clear about her position.

She also usually reminded Bai Ling to remember Lu Changsheng’s kindness.

“How has Little Ling’er been doing lately?”

Lu Changsheng nodded, then looked at the little loli in front of him, rubbed her little head with the double braids, and asked gently.

“Ling’er has been very happy lately, not only with delicious food, but also carefree. Wuyou, Xile, and Ruyi also take me out to play.”

Bai Ling looked up and happily recounted her bits and pieces.

Having not seen Lu Changsheng for half a year, she also missed him very much.

Lu Changsheng not only saved her back then, but also, like a ray of light, gradually smoothed out her devastated heart.

This made her also have a special feeling for Lu Changsheng.

“Little Ling’er, do you remember what Brother told you before, that you have a destiny with immortals?”

Lu Changsheng listened to Bai Ling’s words, and after chatting for a long time, he spoke.

“Mm-hmm, Brother, can Ling’er really cultivate immortality?”

Hearing this, Bai Ling’s eyes sparkled, and she said full of hope.

In the past half year, although she mostly stayed at home,

due to Lu Changsheng’s instructions, Lu Wuyou, Lu Xile, and Lu Ruyi would come over to play with her.

During this process, she also gained some understanding of Lu Changsheng, the destiny with immortals, and cultivating immortality.

So she had always hoped that she really had a destiny with immortals, so that she could cultivate immortality and stay by Lu Changsheng’s side.

“Of course, how could Brother lie to you?”

Lu Changsheng smiled and led Bai Ling to the Lu residence.

In the backyard of the Lu residence, he had set up a small Spirit Gathering Array.

This spiritual energy was enough for cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining to meditate and cultivate.

Walking on the street, as pedestrians passed by, Lu Changsheng saw that Bai Ling’s expression was a little timid, and her hand was tightly holding his.

Obviously, she was still socially awkward and afraid of strangers.

He understood in his heart that she only seemed normal and natural in front of him.

Once she left home and faced outsiders, her social anxiety would be triggered again.

Lu Changsheng also knew that this was a psychological trauma.

It could not be completely cured and recovered in a short period of time.

“It’s okay, Brother is here.”

Lu Changsheng squeezed her little hand and said to her gently.

“Mm-hmm.”

Bai Ling looked at Lu Changsheng’s handsome face, and hearing these words, it was as if a spring breeze was blowing, making her feel a sense of peace and tranquility in her heart, and she was no longer so afraid.

Arriving at the backyard where the small Spirit Gathering Array was set up in the Lu residence, Lu Changsheng began to teach Bai Ling to cultivate the “Essence Returning Skill.”

This cultivation method belonged to a non-attribute immortal cultivation technique.

Not only was it simple to get started, but it was also convenient to switch to other cultivation methods in the future.

After Lu Changsheng’s explanation for most of the day, Bai Ling also understood the method of cultivation.

Through exploration, she was able to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and try to guide Qi into her body.

“This spiritual energy affinity…”

Lu Changsheng watched Bai Ling sit down cross-legged, her little face tightly closed, earnestly breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was able to clearly capture the spiritual energy of heaven and earth wandering in the air.

And Bai Ling’s speed of guiding Qi into her body was top-notch.

He was just on the side, quietly watching Bai Ling cultivate.

“Brother, according to what you said, I let this aura go from here, here, here, and then stopped here.”

Half an hour later, Bai Ling opened her eyes and said, gesturing with her little hand.

“In just half an hour, she refined the first strand of spiritual energy.”

“And it was in this secular small Spirit Gathering Array.”

Lu Changsheng was a little shocked in his heart.

He still remembered that he, who only had a ninth-grade spiritual root back then, spent a whole night in Qingzhu Manor to cultivate the first strand of spiritual energy.

“So, Bai Ling’s spiritual root is at least a high-grade spiritual root!”

“Or rather, even if it is not a high-grade spiritual root, her cultivation speed is not weaker than a high-grade spiritual root because of her physique!”

Lu Changsheng had a judgment in his heart.

He had previously used his divine sense to examine Bai Ling’s body.

But Bai Ling’s situation was very special.

It made him unable to see her physical condition and the quality of her spiritual root.

Even what was going on with the snake scales on her hand, Lu Changsheng did not understand.

“Brother?”

Bai Ling saw Lu Changsheng staring at her, stunned, and called out softly.

She thought she had done something wrong and disappointed Lu Changsheng.

“It’s okay, Little Ling’er is great, she actually did it so quickly.”

Lu Changsheng came back to his senses, rubbed her little head, and said with a gentle smile.

“Hehe.”

Hearing this, Bai Ling immediately showed a happy and enjoyable smile.

“Should I take Bai Ling to Qingzhu Mountain?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

In this secular world, although there is a small Spirit Gathering Array, it will not affect the early stage of cultivation.

But after all, it is not as good as Qingzhu Mountain.

Moreover, if Bai Ling is taken to Qingzhu Mountain, it will be convenient for him to check Bai Ling’s situation and cultivate their relationship.

After thinking about it slightly in his heart, Lu Changsheng decided to take Bai Ling back to Qingzhu Mountain.

It is still a bit inconvenient in the secular world after all.

Moreover, Bai Ling’s situation will eventually require her to be taken to Qingzhu Mountain, so it is better to take her there now.

Furthermore, Bai Ling’s cultivation speed is at least a high-grade spiritual root, and he is a little worried about leaving her in the secular world.

Although there may not be any powerful immortal cultivators in the secular world, he is not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.

Maybe a powerful immortal cultivator will pass by, see that Bai Ling is extraordinary, and take her away.

In Qingzhu Mountain, it is at least much safer.

“Alas, if there was a spiritual place of my own, my own home, it would be much more convenient and stable at this time.”

“I don’t have to be so busy all day, running around.”

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought in his heart.

If he had a spiritual place of his own, Bai Ling’s situation would be much more convenient.

Xiao Xiyue would not have to live in the Hongye Valley Workshop all day.

Lu Ping’an, such a descendant without spiritual roots, even if he is an adult, can build a small village, a small city in the spiritual place for them to live in.

“Sure enough, when you reach a certain level, you still have to have a home of your own.”

Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart.

Immediately, he told Bai Ling that he was going to take her to another home of his.

Hearing this, Bai Ling was also very happy.

It was just that she was a little reluctant to part with the few friends she had just made, Lu Wuyou, Lu Xile, and Lu Ruyi.

After all, she had always been hated and called a monster when she was in the village, and she had no friends at all. Now she finally had a few friends.

If she separated, she would not see them for a long time.

“It’s okay, Brother will also come to see them when he has time, and he can take you with him then.”

Lu Changsheng rubbed the little girl’s head and said with a smile.

He didn’t expect that in just half a year, Bai Ling had formed a friendship with his daughters.

After living at home for half a month, Lu Changsheng took Bai Ling and Granny Zhao to Qingzhu Mountain.

Bai Ling’s social anxiety was serious and she lacked a sense of security. If she went to Qingzhu Mountain and he was not there, she would definitely lack a sense of security. Having Granny Zhao would be much better.
