Chapter 220: Second-class high-quality talisman master! Reunion!

Lu Changsheng originally planned to return home first to see his wives, concubines, and children for a Family reunion.

On this trip to Nine Heavens Immortal City, he not only prepared a surprise for Lu Miaoge,

but also prepared gifts for all his wives, concubines, and children.

However, this Lu Family Elder said that Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding would be arriving soon,

and asked Lu Changsheng to wait a moment.

Facing this situation, Lu Changsheng couldn’t say much.

After all, breaking through to Foundation Establishment was indeed a top priority for the Lu Family.

If he rushed home now, he would probably have just entered the door when Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding would rush over to find him, making it impossible to have a proper Family reunion.

“Swish!”

Immediately, a streak of遁光 flew from the depths of Qingzhu Valley.

With the commotion from the Family’s great formation and the urgent message just now, Lu Yuanzhong, the Lu Family Old Ancestor, rushed over at the first Opportunity.

“Hmm, Changsheng, you’re back?”

Lu Yuanzhong arrived at the mountain gate and saw Lu Changsheng, a look of joy immediately appearing on his face.

But the next moment, he saw the faint Spiritual Pressure around Lu Changsheng’s body.

The joy on his face turned into surprise, astonishment, and shock.

“Changsheng, you’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment!?”

Lu Yuanzhong exclaimed in surprise.

Although he had previously guessed that Lu Changsheng had been hiding his strength,

he never expected that Lu Changsheng would break through to Foundation Establishment and become a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator just from this trip outside!

This!

This!

This!

This was simply too astonishing!

“Old Ancestor, I gained an Opportunity during this trip outside and fortunately broke through to Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Yuanzhong’s surprised expression, cupped his hands, and said with a smile.

Even though he revealed his Foundation Establishment Cultivation, he still regarded himself as a Junior.

He would not address Lu Yuanzhong as Fellow Daoist.

After all, according to the Family’s seniority, Lu Yuanzhong was the granduncle of Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan.

“Good, good, good, Changsheng, congratulations on your Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!”

Lu Yuanzhong’s emotions immediately surged, and he nodded repeatedly in response.

After the battle at Blackwater Pool, his pressure was heavier than anyone else in the Lu Family.

In this battle, not only did the Lu Family’s core elites suffer heavy losses,

but he, the Family Old Ancestor, also suffered severe injuries, with not much life left.

Afterward, he poured all the resources in the Lu into Lu Miaofeng.

He hoped that Lu Miaofeng would break through to Foundation Establishment and support the Family!

However, Lu Miaofeng failed!

The Foundation Establishment failed!

At that moment, he instantly aged a lot!

His already exhausted body and mind gained a touch of pessimism.

He worried all day, feeling uneasy.

It was precisely because of this.

Upon hearing the news that Feng Family Fortress had been annihilated by Xiahou Demon, he immediately discussed with Lu Yuanding to have Lu Miaoge send some of the Family’s direct descendants away.

He was afraid!

He was afraid that the Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family would fall in his hands!

Now, seeing Lu Changsheng return from Foundation Establishment, his tense and tired mind relaxed a bit.

Although Lu Changsheng was not a Bloodline Disciple of the Lu Family,

Lu Changsheng had been in the Lu Family for over twenty years.

He had married and had children, shared hardships, and had long since taken root in Qingzhu Mountain!

Now that he had returned from Foundation Establishment and saw him, his address of “Old Ancestor” was sincere and without any arrogance.

Therefore, he was at ease with Lu Changsheng.

“Old Ancestor, what’s wrong with your body?”

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Yuanzhong’s complexion and asked.

Previously, Lu Yuanzhong looked to be around forty years old.

Now, he looked at least twenty years older.

Moreover, his complexion was dark, his aura was chaotic, and there was a faint hint of decline.

He roughly guessed that Lu Yuanzhong was injured in the battle at Blackwater Pool.

Because from Lu Yuanzhong’s aura, he vaguely sensed a hint of the corpse poison aura that he had once expelled for Chu Qingyi.

“Hehe, there was some Demonic Path disturbance before, so I got a little injured.”

Lu Yuanzhong’s brows relaxed, and he said so.

He had long since come to terms with his own life and death.

He just couldn’t let go of the Family and his responsibilities.

At this moment, Lu Yuanding and Lu Miaochang arrived.

When they saw Lu Changsheng and learned that he had broken through to Foundation Establishment, they were just like the Lu Family Elder and Lu Yuanzhong before.

Full of doubt, surprise, and disbelief.

Facing this, Lu Changsheng could only reiterate that he had achieved Foundation Establishment, leaving the two of them utterly shocked and delighted.

Subsequently, under the respectful, envious, awestruck, and emotional gazes of the Lu Family Disciples stationed there, Lu Changsheng, accompanied by Ling Zixiao, and with Lu Yuanzhong, Lu Yuanding, and Lu Miaochang, proceeded to the Qingzhu Great Hall.

Given the significance of Foundation Establishment, the few of them naturally wanted to have a good chat with Lu Changsheng.

“Zhiming, quickly go and tell this good news, the news of Lu Changsheng’s return from Foundation Establishment, to Miao Yun and Miaohuan!”

The stationed Elder, seeing Lu Changsheng and Lu Yuanzhong leave, immediately regained his composure and instructed someone to convey this news, this good tidings, to Lu Changsheng’s Lu.

“Yes!”

The stationed Disciple immediately responded upon hearing this and went to deliver the good news.

Qingzhu Great Hall.

Lu Changsheng recounted his trip outside and his Foundation Establishment to Lu Yuanzhong, Lu Yuanding, and Lu Miaochang.

He stated that during this trip, by chance, he obtained an Immortal Cave left by a predecessor, thus breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

It was also because of this that he met Ling Zixiao and became her Dao Companion.

However, the Secret Realm was dangerous, and Ling Zixiao was severely injured in the Secret Realm, damaging her Foundation, and now her Cultivation is only one-tenth of what it was.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Ling!”

Lu Yuanzhong only then noticed that Ling Zixiao was also a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

He had been entirely focused on Lu Changsheng before.

Additionally, Ling Zixiao was too weak, lacking any Magical Power Spiritual Pressure.

At this moment, hearing Lu Changsheng’s words and discerning that Ling Zixiao was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he was startled and immediately became much more respectful and polite.

After all, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

Even if her Cultivation is only one-tenth of what it was, she is still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, Lu Changsheng not only possessed great Luck but also good Luck with women!

Back during the great battle between the Lu Family and the Chen Family, there was already a female Foundation Establishment Cultivator who was smitten with Lu Changsheng and expressed her affection!

Now, after a trip outside, he not only gained an Opportunity and broke through to Foundation Establishment, but also became Dao Companion with a female Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

This kind of thing simply left him speechless.

He couldn’t help but think of his own journey, which was nothing but Cultivation, Cultivation, and more Cultivation.

Compared to Lu Changsheng, it was simply…

Moreover, Lu Changsheng, at his current age, broke through to Foundation Establishment even earlier than him!

Lu Yuanding and Lu Miaochang, who were beside him, also couldn’t help but sigh with emotion as they listened to Lu Changsheng’s narration.

Especially Lu Yuanding.

It could be said that he had watched Lu Changsheng grow step by step.

So even now, he still had a dreamlike, unreal feeling.

He couldn’t believe that the son-in-law he had brought home, his own son-in-law, who used to be at the foot of Qingyun Sect Mountain, had actually broken through to Foundation Establishment and become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

One must know, this was a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!

Although he used to tell Lu Changsheng to Cultivate well, and that with his Talismans, he had hope of Foundation Establishment in the future!

But hope and reality were two completely different things!

After Lu Changsheng finished recounting his general situation, Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding also told Lu Changsheng about some of the things that had happened over the past year.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Changsheng realized that so many things had happened to the Lu Family in the past year or so.

In the battle at Blackwater Pool, six core high-ranking members of the Lu Family were killed in action!

Among them was the Second Elder, whom Lu Changsheng was familiar with.

Lu Yuanzhong was severely injured in the battle at Blackwater Pool, with corpse poison entering his organs, and his lifespan was running out.

Lu Miaofeng attempted to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!

But he was harassed by other Families, suspected to be the Bihu Mountain Yu Family, and failed his Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!

Xiahou Demon plagued the area, and his wife, Lu Miaoge, took Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, and other Lu Family Disciples to Green River Square City for refuge!

Hearing these news, Lu Changsheng felt a pang of guilt.

He thought that in the past year or so, Lu Miaoge, Miao Yun, and the others must have not only missed him but also worried immensely.

“Old Ancestor, Father-in-law, rest assured, I am back now.”

“After breaking through to Foundation Establishment, Divine Sense was born, and my Talismans have significantly improved. I can now draw High-Grade Talisman.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding and said.

He planned to follow the ‘Dual Mastery of Alchemy and Talismans’ path in the future.

In terms of Talismans, it was naturally impossible to spend another five or six years just to make a small improvement.

So, he took this Opportunity to directly reveal himself as a Second-Order High Grade Talisman Master!

This way, he could gradually reveal his Alchemy skills in the future.

“What, High-Grade Talisman!?”

Lu Yuanzhong, Lu Yuanding, and Lu Miaochang were all stunned upon hearing this news, completely taken aback.

They were so surprised they couldn’t speak.

Although they knew that after a Cultivator developed Divine Sense, there would be a significant improvement in comprehending Cultivation Technique and various Immortal Cultivation arts.

But Lu Changsheng’s improvement was simply too terrifying!?

They clearly remembered that it had only been a little over three years since Lu Changsheng advanced to Second-Order Talisman Master.

After just over three years, he had advanced from Second-Order Talisman Master to Second-Order High Grade!?

One must know that every step in Second-Order skills is a hurdle.

Countless Great Masters of skills spend their entire lives unable to cross it.

But Lu Changsheng, after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, actually jumped to become a Second-Order High Grade Talisman Master.

A Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, combined with the identity of a Second-Order High Grade Talisman Master, this level of strength and status simply made the three of them feel a bit parched and speechless.

Sitting gracefully to the side, Ling Zixiao took a sip of tea as she watched this scene.

She felt that if the three of them knew that Lu Changsheng was also a Second-Order High Grade Alchemist, they would probably be even more shocked.

However, seeing Lu Changsheng chatting with Lu Yuanzhong, Lu Yuanding, and the others,

she confirmed in her heart that the intelligence she purchased from Heaven Knowing Tower regarding Lu Changsheng was correct.

The information Lu Changsheng revealed externally was indeed similar to what was recorded in Heaven Knowing Tower.

The only problem was that Lu Changsheng hid too deeply!

So deep that besides himself, probably no one knew how much he had hidden, and how many unknown methods he possessed.

Ling Zixiao felt that even what she saw was just the tip of the iceberg of Lu Changsheng.

Or rather, what she saw was what Lu Changsheng was willing to let her see, what he specifically showed her.

The other party was several times more mysterious than she knew!

“Old Ancestor, the Cultivation Technique I Cultivate has some effect on expelling poison.”

“May I examine your injuries?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng spoke to Lu Yuanzhong.

The other party was infected with corpse poison and had little time left to live.

If he could cure it, he would naturally be willing to help.

After all, he was preparing to purchase a suitable spiritual land to establish his Family on this trip back.

Once he established a Family, he would be very busy.

It was impossible for him to spend too much thought and time on Qingzhu Mountain, overseeing the Lu Family.

But with the Lu Family’s current situation, it was really not appropriate for him to talk about leaving and establishing a Family.

Therefore, being able to treat the injuries of Lu Yuanzhong, the Lu Family Old Ancestor, and stabilize his condition, would naturally be for the best.

“I have a Second-Order Special Demon Core, as long as I collect all the auxiliary materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, I can prepare to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.”

“At that time, I can give one to the Lu Family. As long as a new Foundation Establishment Cultivator is born in the Lu Family, I won’t have to worry too much.”

Lu Changsheng mused inwardly.

Although he had made many contributions to the Lu Family by drawing Talismans over the years.

A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring!

Over these past twenty years, the Lu Family had been nothing but good to him, and it was also his wife’s Family.

Now that he had plans to leave and possessed the ability and conditions, he should naturally repay them a hundredfold!

Besides, his establishment of a Family did not mean that he would have no connection or interaction with the Lu Family.

Just Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoyun, and a host of other wives, concubines, and children, destined that he and the Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family would be inseparable.

“Alright, thank you for your trouble.”

Lu Yuanzhong originally wanted to say that the corpse poison had already invaded his organs and was beyond cure.

But thinking of Lu Changsheng’s situation and his performance, he still extended his wrist, allowing him to check his condition.

Lu Changsheng reached out and grasped Lu Yuanzhong’s wrist, beginning to examine his condition.

He immediately saw that the other party’s five internal organs and six main viscera were all corroded by the corpse poison.

“Corpse poison invading the organs is indeed troublesome.”

Lu Changsheng’s brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this scene.

This corpse poison was not as strong as Chu Qingyi’s original corpse poison, but it was still very difficult to deal with.

Especially now, the corpse poison had already corroded the five internal organs and six main viscera.

Even if his Seven Luminaries Sword Qi could remove poison, it would not be able to remove the corpse poison.

Because once the poison was removed, it would harm Lu Yuanzhong’s five internal organs and six main viscera.

“Old Ancestor, I have a bottle of Qingxin Hualing Pill here, which will be helpful for your condition.”

“Once your condition improves, I will try to see if I can remove some of the corpse poison for you.”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Changsheng took out a bottle of Medicinal Pill from his Storage Pouch and said to Lu Yuanzhong.

He couldn’t completely remove the poison from the other party’s condition.

He could only let the other party live as long as possible.

“Qingxin Hualing Pill?”

Lu Yuanzhong heard the name of this Medicinal Pill and knew that it was a Second-Order Medicinal Pill.

It had the effects of clearing the mind, nourishing the spirit, relaxing muscles and promoting circulation, and treating accumulated toxins in the organs and congealed Qi and blood.

He didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to be so generous with his first move.

A relieved smile appeared on his face as he said, “Alright, I’ll accept the Medicinal Pill.”

“Alright, I won’t delay you any longer. I know you’re thinking of going home to reunite now.”

Lu Yuanzhong looked at Lu Changsheng and smiled.

He knew that Lu Changsheng had been away for so long and was eager to return and reunite with his wives, concubines, and children.

“Thank you, Old Ancestor.”

Lu Changsheng smiled, got up, and left.

“Wait, Changsheng, now that you have undergone Foundation Establishment, when do you plan to hold the Foundation Establishment Ceremony? I’ll make the arrangements.”

At this moment, Lu Miaochang looked at Lu Changsheng and spoke.

Before, he was merely polite to Lu Changsheng.

But now, with Lu Changsheng’s Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, his words and demeanor unconsciously carried a hint of respect and awe.

“The ceremony, how about we just skip it?”

“We can just celebrate among ourselves.”

“Now that Xiahou Demon is causing trouble everywhere, if we hold such a ceremony, we might be targeted, and it’s easy for people to infiltrate the Family during that time.”

Lu Changsheng pondered slightly and said.

Although holding a Foundation Establishment Ceremony would allow him to take more wives and concubines.

But in the coming time, he would be very busy.

Having been away for so long, he needed to spend time with his wives and concubines and care for his children’s situation.

He needed to bring Lu Miaoge home, Cultivate the Taiyi One Seed Dao Art, help Lu Miaoge change to the Supreme Goodness is Like Water Art, and help her Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

There was also the refining of the nine treasures jade ruyi, the drawing of Third-Order Talismans, the nurturing of treasure Talismans, the refining of the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Strategy, the refining of Foundation Establishment Pills, and the inspection of the Family’s spiritual land.

Thinking about these things now made his head ache a little.

He felt that he wouldn’t be able to finish these tasks in less than one or two years.

Therefore, he temporarily had no plans to hold a ceremony and spend his time and effort on taking concubines.

He planned to continue this aspect after he established his Family.

“Changsheng’s words make sense. Now that Xiahou Demon is causing trouble everywhere, it would be dangerous if Xiahou Demon took the Opportunity to infiltrate our Qingzhu Mountain.”

Lu Yuanding nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

“Since that’s the case, let’s just celebrate among ourselves.”

Lu Miaochang said immediately upon hearing this.

As the Head of the Lu Family, he actually had these concerns and considerations.

But a Foundation Establishment Ceremony was, after all, a big event!

Whether or not to hold it still depended on Lu Changsheng’s opinion.

If Lu Changsheng didn’t nod, and he directly said not to hold it and just celebrate among themselves, it would appear very disrespectful to Lu Changsheng, this Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

“Alright.”

“However, Lu Miaoge is still outside. I plan to go to Green River Square City in the next few days to bring Lu Miaoge home, and then we can celebrate.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Now that Lu Miaoge was still outside with her child, seeking refuge, how could he celebrate at home by himself?

Moreover, how could Lu Miaoge not be present for such an event!

All along, Lu Miaoge had encouraged and accompanied him, hoping that he would Cultivate well and one day Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!

Now that he had returned after Foundation Establishment, he naturally wanted to share this joy with her!

“Alright, we’ll listen to you, Changsheng.”

Lu Yuanding’s face immediately showed a relieved smile upon hearing this.

He felt that his daughter had not married the wrong person!

Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Miaochang also nodded secretly and smiled upon seeing this.

Their trust in Lu Changsheng was also due to Lu Changsheng’s consistent loyalty and deep affection over the years!

Immediately, Lu Changsheng took Ling Zixiao and walked towards his residence.

At this very moment.

Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhenzhen, and others had already learned the news of Lu Changsheng’s return and his Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

When they heard this news, they thought they were hallucinating.

But they knew that the other party couldn’t possibly be playing such a joke.

Especially when Lu Zhiming swore repeatedly to Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaohuan.

He stated that Uncle Changsheng had really returned and had undergone Foundation Establishment.

He was currently discussing matters with the Old Ancestor and the Head of the Lu Family in the main hall, and he would probably be back soon.

Only then did the women half-believe the words.

Mainly, this news was simply too outrageous, too incredible.

This was a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

How could their Husband, who was perfectly fine, suddenly undergo Foundation Establishment and become a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator after a trip outside?

However, upon receiving this news, they immediately notified the other concubines, maids, and children in the backyard to come out and welcome Lu Changsheng’s return.

These concubines, maids, and children were also bewildered upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s news.

Some couldn’t believe the news.

Immediately, the women waited anxiously and expectantly for Lu Changsheng’s return.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhenzhen, and others, who were waiting at the entrance of the manor.

They saw Lu Changsheng, dressed in a green robe, with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, walking with a beautiful, elegantly coiffed, and dignified woman in a blue dress.

“Husband!”

“Husband!”

“Daddy, Daddy!”

Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen saw this scene.

They immediately ran towards Lu Changsheng with excited expressions, their eyes reddening.

“Hmph!”

Lu Miaohuan saw Lu Changsheng return, and he even brought another woman, so she immediately turned her pretty face away and snorted coldly.

She had worried so much about him before, and it turned out he was just flirting again.

“Yun’er, Zhenzhen.”

Lu Changsheng immediately stepped forward and embraced his two wives.

Seeing that the women’s eyes were somewhat red, it was clear that they had been very worried about him.

His heart immediately filled with even more guilt.

“It’s Husband’s fault. This trip outside was delayed for so long, making you all worry.”

Lu Changsheng held his wives, gently stroking their backs, and comforted them.

“Husband was busy with important matters outside.”

Lu Miaoyun held Lu Changsheng and said softly.

“Husband, I just heard that you have undergone Foundation Establishment!”

Qu Zhenzhen looked up at her Husband, seeking confirmation.

“That’s right, Husband had some Opportunity on this trip outside, so I underwent Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled and rubbed her hair, saying.

“Congratulations, Husband, on your Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!”

Qu Zhenzhen’s small mouth slightly opened upon hearing this, then she congratulated her Husband with a face full of love.

Although she was not interested in Cultivation.

But after so many years on Qingzhu Mountain, she naturally knew what a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator represented.

Lu Miaoyun was also full of pleasant surprise upon hearing this.

Even though these words came directly from Lu Changsheng’s mouth.

She still felt a dreamlike unreality.

But looking at Lu Changsheng in front of her, the real touch.

Her eyes were immediately filled with admiration and love as she said, “Congratulations, Husband, on becoming a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!”

“Congratulations, Husband, on becoming a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!”

“Congratulations, Father, on becoming a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!”

“Congratulations, Daddy, on becoming a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!”

At this moment, the other concubines and children all stepped forward, cupped their hands to Lu Changsheng, and loudly congratulated him.
