Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 262: The Xu family has a daughter with the body of a Dragon Emperor!
“The Zheng family’s old ancestor has passed away?”
Lu Changsheng was not surprised by this news.
Years ago, he had already seen that the Zheng family’s old ancestor’s lifespan was coming to an end.
That was precisely why the Zheng family’s old ancestor had been constantly arranging matters for the family in recent years.
Sending descendants to him as concubines, giving up profits from the Red Leaf Valley market, and becoming vassals of the Yu Beast Xu family.
But it must be said that in recent years, the Zheng family’s old ancestor had indeed done his best for the family.
Even if the Zheng family does not have a Foundation Establishment cultivator overseeing it now, no family would dare to touch Centipede Ridge in a short period.
“Yes, the Zheng family’s old ancestor passed away peacefully in the family, which is considered a joyous funeral in the cultivation world.”
“The Zheng family will hold a grand funeral this time, and they have sent a letter stating that the Yu Beast Xu family will also send people.”
“So, if you have time, husband, you should personally go and participate in the mourning.”
Lu Miaoyun said, speaking to Lu Changsheng.
Although Foundation Establishment cultivators have a lifespan of two hundred and forty years.
Being able to live to two hundred years and pass away peacefully is considered a natural death and is called a ‘joyous funeral’.
“Yun’er, when will the funeral be held?”
Lu Changsheng nodded and asked.
Knowing that the Zheng family’s funeral this time is inviting surrounding family forces, it is also the Zheng family borrowing the power of the Xu family to show their attitude to the outside world.
“Twenty-three days later.”
Lu Miaoyun said.
“Okay, then notify me when the time comes.”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Knowing that this kind of thing requires himself, the head of the family, to go there.
Not to mention the relationship between his family and the Zheng family.
Just for the sake of the Yu Beast Xu family, he had to go there.
Afterwards, he told his concubine, Zheng Yongwan, about this matter.
Asking her to go with him when the time comes.
Twenty days later.
Lu Changsheng brought his concubine, Zheng Yongwan, to Centipede Ridge.
The name Centipede Ridge doesn’t sound very good, but the overall environment is still very good, with clear mountains and beautiful waters.
The reason it is called Centipede Ridge is because it is rich in spiritual insects.
Especially a kind of spiritual insect called ‘Iron Wire Centipede’, which is used by the Zheng family to brew ‘Centipede Wine’, and the business is very good.
“Ancestor of the Lu family of Bi Hu Mountain, arrived!”
The Zheng family’s receptionist at the mountain gate saw Lu Changsheng and immediately shouted loudly.
Then an elder of the Zheng family rushed over and invited Lu Changsheng to the Zheng family manor.
This place has already been arranged as a mourning hall, and a group of family descendants, filial sons and virtuous grandchildren are wearing white mourning clothes.
“Husband…”
Zheng Yongwan’s face also showed a bit of sadness and grief when she saw this scene.
Although she didn’t spend much time with the Zheng family’s old ancestor and didn’t have much affection.
But she was, after all, a direct descendant of the Zheng family, born and raised in Centipede Ridge, and grew up under the protection of this old ancestor.
“Condolences.”
Lu Changsheng patted her hand and came to the coffin with her, picked up three incense sticks, and solemnly bowed.
“Old Ancestor Lu, this way please.”
“The funeral is still two days away, Yongwan, you can take Old Ancestor Lu for a walk in the house.”
The Zheng family elder said respectfully, arranging for Lu Changsheng to rest.
Originally, under normal circumstances, a direct daughter of the family like Zheng Yongwan should help with some things.
But she is, after all, Lu Changsheng’s concubine, and her status is here.
So it is impossible to let her do anything, just entertain Lu Changsheng well.
As the funeral day approached, people came one after another.
Two days later, Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang also came to Centipede Ridge to attend the funeral.
“Uncle, Fellow Daoist Bai.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the two and cupped his hands.
“Changsheng, Fellow Daoist Lu!”
“Mountain Lord Lu, long time no see!”
Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang greeted Lu Changsheng.
In addition to the two, many family forces also arrived, and after seeing Lu Changsheng, they all greeted him.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng and these Foundation Establishment family forces, under the arrangement of the Zheng family, came to a hall to sit down and chat.
“Old Ancestor of the Xu family of Yu Shui, arrived!”
At this time, a loud announcement sounded outside.
After a while, the head of the Zheng family greeted a tall, majestic, and eagle-eyed man in a golden robe into the hall.
Behind the golden-robed man, followed a man and two women.
One of the women had a sad face, and the man next to her put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her.
“Greetings, Old Ancestor Xu!”
“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xu!”
“Great-Grandfather!”
Many people in the hall stood up and cupped their hands towards the golden-robed man.
Lu Changsheng had read the general information of the Xu family of Yu Shui.
Knowing that this golden-robed man was named Xu Renguang, one of the Foundation Establishment old ancestors of the Xu family of Yu Shui.
“Xu greets all fellow Daoists.”
The golden-robed man showed a hearty and generous smile and cupped his hands towards everyone.
After this Xu family old ancestor took his seat, the funeral banquet also began.
“Hmm?”
Just as he was drinking and chatting, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt something, turned his head, and looked at a woman next to the Xu family old ancestor.
This woman looked to be in her twenties and was extremely beautiful.
With a head of smooth and crystal-clear fiery red hair, wearing a gorgeous golden-red dress, outlining a shapely figure.
Lu Changsheng looked at this woman, naturally not because of her appearance.
But it was the divine sense comparable to the peak of Foundation Establishment that made him keenly aware that this woman had been looking at him ever since she entered the hall.
As if noticing Lu Changsheng looking at her, the red-haired woman moved her gaze away with a detached expression, picked up chopsticks, and elegantly picked up a slice of meat, chewing slowly.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng didn’t care too much.
After all, his current charm makes women can’t help but take a few more glances, which is also very normal.
However, in the following time, Lu Changsheng still noticed that this woman was constantly peeking at him.
Just then, the red-haired woman whispered something to Xu Renguang.
Only to see Xu Renguang holding a wine glass, walking towards Lu Changsheng, with a smile on his face, and said politely: “Master Lu, my granddaughter is preparing to tame a Heavenly Flame Sable and needs a Second-Order Profound Frost Talisman.”
“I wonder if Master Lu can draw it? If you can, I would like to trouble Master Lu.”
Xu Renguang said politely.
“Heavenly Flame Sable, Profound Frost Talisman?”
Lu Changsheng heard this and glanced at the red-haired woman next to him.
He knew that Beast Tamers mostly subdue their pets through various means.
Methods such as the Blood Pact Method, Contract Documents, Beast Taming Cards, etc., are all inferior.
“Could it be that this woman was looking at me just now because of the talisman?”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
He looked at Xu Renguang and said apologetically: “Fellow Daoist Xu, regarding the Profound Frost Talisman, Lu has never drawn it before and does not have much confidence.”
The Profound Frost Talisman is a Second-Order High-Grade Spiritual Talisman, and Lu Changsheng can naturally draw it easily.
But he rarely draws this kind of spiritual talisman, and the people who want to order Second-Order talismans from him are scheduled until next year.
The other party didn’t promise any benefits and wanted him to help draw the talisman?
“I wonder how confident Master Lu is.”
“If you can draw it, my Xu family will definitely thank you handsomely.”
Xu Renguang continued.
“This…”
Lu Changsheng heard this and glanced at the red-haired woman.
He didn’t expect that the other party could actually make this Xu family old ancestor promise a generous reward.
It seems that this red-haired woman’s status in the Xu family is quite extraordinary.
After pondering for a moment, he said: “In that case, Lu will try after returning.”
“If there is news, I will reply to Fellow Daoist Xu within three months, how about it?”
Lu Changsheng said.
“In that case, thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu!”
“I’ll toast Fellow Daoist Lu!”
Xu Renguang raised his wine glass and cupped his hands to thank him.
Many people in the hall showed a bit of envy when they saw this scene.
They envied the Xu family for being able to easily ask Lu Changsheng to help draw talismans, and also envied Lu Changsheng’s identity as a Second-Order High-Grade Talisman Master.
“Fellow Daoist Xu is too polite.”
Lu Changsheng raised his wine glass and said.
After having their fill of food and drink, Lu Changsheng also learned about the identity of the red-haired woman.
The granddaughter of the Xu family’s old ancestor, Xu Ruyin.
Not only does she possess a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Root, but she also has excellent Beast Taming talent.
Just after breaking through the Late Stage of Qi Refining, she tamed an Earth-Rank bloodline demon beast, the Fire Python Tiger.
It can be said that she is currently the apple of the Xu family of Yu Shui’s eye.
Moreover, when Bai Yunyang talked about this Xu family pearl, he also mentioned an interesting anecdote.
After Xu Ruyin tamed the Fire Python Tiger, people from the Yu Beast Xu family came and wanted to take her to the main family to cultivate.
But Xu Ruyin’s father, who is also Xu Renguang’s son, was once crippled by a direct descendant of the main line in the clan competition and had his spirit pet taken away, so Xu Ruyin refused to go to the main family to cultivate.
And said that he would seek justice for his father in the future.
The Xu family and others were arranged by the Zheng family in a secluded courtyard.
In the pavilion of the courtyard.
“Senior Red Lotus, can you be sure?”
Xu Ruyin asked in her mind.
“Your senses are not wrong. This person does have the aura of a Heaven-Rank demon beast on him. Obviously, he has been in contact with Heaven-Rank demon beasts for a long time.”
“Moreover, this aura is a bit mixed. This palace suspects that he has more than one Heaven-Rank bloodline demon beast.”
An ethereal, clear, elegant, and gentle voice, like the sound of nature, sounded in Xu Ruyin’s mind.
“More than one!?”
Xu Ruyin’s beautiful eyes showed a look of surprise when she heard this.
She is clear about the preciousness of a Heaven-Rank bloodline demon beast.
Not to mention her Xu family of Yu Shui.
Even the main family, the Yu Beast Xu family, wants to get a Heaven-Rank bloodline demon beast, it is extremely difficult.
Now, a small Foundation Establishment family actually has multiple Heaven-Rank demon beasts.
“If I can contract a Heaven-Rank demon beast, then the ‘Beast Technique’ can go one step further, advance to the orthodox-level technique, and condense the ‘Heavenly Beast Dao Foundation’!”
Xu Ruyin’s beautiful eyes revealed a look of hope and desire.
In her childhood, she had a happy and fulfilling family life.
The newest novel is first released on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
But when she was seven years old, she went with her father to the Yu Beast Xu family to participate in the clan competition.
She personally witnessed her father being defeated by the direct descendants of the clan, and even his spirit beast was taken away.
This battle also left her father half-crippled, depressed, almost reduced to a useless person, and hopeless for foundation building.
From that moment on, she had one more goal in her heart.
To avenge her father honorably in the clan competition!
And now, with supreme luck, she has also seen the hope of avenging her father!
She respectfully asked, “Senior Honglian, do you have any way?”
The cultivation technique she practices is called ‘Beast Art’.
This technique is very mysterious and can increase the power of the technique through the rank of the contracted spirit beast.
And it can also improve one’s own talent, foundation, and potential through contracting spirit beasts.
“This person is not simple. I feel a terrifying aura from him. This person must have great luck and great secrets.”
An ethereal, clear, and heavenly voice continued to sound.
“This…”
Xu Ruyin was shocked when she heard this.
She knew how powerful this Senior Honglian was.
This Lu Changsheng actually made this Senior Honglian feel a terrifying aura.
“Senior Honglian, I have heard some rumors about this person.”
Xu Ruyin immediately revealed some information about Lu Changsheng.
“Low-grade spiritual roots, live-in son-in-law, widely accepting wives and concubines, numerous children, a master of talisman… Could this cultivation speed be the legendary Dragon Emperor Dao Body!”
The ethereal and clear voice revealed a bit of surprise and doubt.
“Dragon Emperor Dao Body?”
“Senior Honglian, what kind of spiritual body is this? Why haven’t I heard of it?”
Xu Ruyin asked.
“I have also heard of this Dao Body before. A Saint King appeared in the Great Qian Dynasty of Zhongzhou. He had a total of one hundred and eight heavenly concubines and three thousand beauties in his harem.”
“It is rumored that the physique of this Saint King is called ‘Dragon Emperor Dao Body’. Dual cultivation of men and women is not only harmless to him, but can also make his thoughts clear, his cultivation progress rapidly, without any bottlenecks or obstacles. Moreover, this physique is the easiest to breed children, and the descendants born are also gifted!”
The ethereal and clear voice said so.
“There is such a physique in the world.”
Xu Ruyin also showed a surprised expression when she heard this.
Although she doesn’t know much about spiritual bodies, she has heard of common physiques and the five elements spiritual bodies.
She has never heard of such a mysterious spiritual body.
After all, most cultivators conserve their energy and desire for the sake of cultivation.
Only a small number of evil cultivators, or those who practice dual cultivation and the art of collecting and replenishing, will choose to indulge in pleasure.
But these people will eventually have superficial foundations due to excessive dual cultivation and collection, so that they will find it difficult to make progress at a certain level.
“I have only heard of this matter, so I am guessing. However, this son, as you said, must be a person with great luck.”
“Such people have many methods. If you want to obtain a heavenly-ranked monster from him, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult.”
The ethereal and clear voice said this.
Xu Ruyin was silent when she heard this, and her beautiful eyes showed a thoughtful look.
The Zheng family’s funeral lasted for three days.
During this period, many things were handled by the Xu family’s ancestor.
It can also be regarded as the Xu family showing its attitude to the outside world, that the Zheng family is protected by their Yushui Xu family.
Although this Xu family is not the Yu Beast Xu family, it is enough for many forces to weigh it carefully.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, my granddaughter will be staying in Centipede Ridge for a while.”
“If you draw the Xuanshuang Talisman, you can send someone to Centipede Ridge to notify us.”
Xu Renguang said politely to Lu Changsheng.
“Okay, if I, Lu, draw the Xuanshuang Talisman, I will send someone to notify Miss Xu.”
Lu Changsheng nodded and smiled as he glanced at Xu Ruyin next to him, who had a delicate face, a head of fiery red hair, and a graceful figure.
Due to Zheng Yongwan’s reasons, he attended many occasions at the Zheng family’s funeral these three days.
During this period, he keenly noticed that Xu Ruyin looked at him from time to time.
This kind of look was different from the initial scrutiny in the hall.
There was a bit of indescribable meaning.
This made Lu Changsheng feel that there was something wrong with this Xu Ruyin.
It was not because she was attracted by his charm that she peeked at him from time to time.
Although he didn’t know what was going on with the other party.
But Lu Changsheng had a few more thoughts and vigilance towards Xu Ruyin in his heart.
With the end of the Zheng family’s funeral, Lu Changsheng also took Zheng Yongwan back to Bihu Mountain.
Just after returning to Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng learned a piece of news.
The dragon carp in Bishui Lake was born!
It was caught by his daughter Lu Wangshu.
In this regard, Lu Changsheng looked at the system interface. His daughter Lu Wangshu already had 41% fishing talent, and he didn’t know what to say.
He only hoped that his daughter would also have such interest in the future in the way of talismans.
Lu Changsheng looked at this dragon carp.
It is currently only the size of an arm, and its body is covered with golden scales, which looks very extraordinary.
Looking at this dragon carp, Lu Changsheng very much wanted to refine it into a Black Water Dragon Fish Dao soldier.
But thinking that he had promised his wives, concubines, sons, and daughters before, that the first dragon carp caught would be cooked at home.
However, the dragon carp is still too small now, at most enough for a family of three to eat.
So Lu Changsheng put this dragon carp in the fish farm, preparing to raise it for a few years.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
[Congratulations to the host’s descendants for giving birth to a spiritual root offspring 1, and obtaining a lottery chance]
On this day, a system prompt sounded with a slight tremor.
“This seems to be the thirty-ninth, right?”
“Thirty-nine, and only the first child with spiritual roots?”
“And this spiritual root tremor should only be a low-grade spiritual root.”
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly after hearing the system prompt.
He felt that the probability of spiritual roots in his third generation was too low.
But thinking that his children who are currently giving birth all have no spiritual roots, he felt a little relieved.
In the case that both parents have no spiritual roots, the thirty-ninth child has spiritual roots, this probability is already good.
Maybe it’s thanks to his children eating spiritual rice on weekdays, and their bodies have been nourished by spiritual energy.
“System, lottery!”
Lu Changsheng didn’t think much, opened the system and started the lottery.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a fourth-order elixir: Soul Fusion Return Life Pill]
[The reward has been distributed to the system space, the host can check it at any time]
A pill pattern emerged from the roulette, accompanied by a system prompt.
“Soul Fusion Return Life Pill?”
Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows when he saw the reward he won.
This elixir is another elixir he has never heard of.
He moved his mind slightly and looked at the effect of this elixir in the system space.
[Elixir: Soul Fusion Return Life Pill]
[Quality: Fourth Order]
[Description: As long as the body and soul of a cultivator have not dissipated, taking this pill can regenerate bones and muscles, and return the soul to life]
“Fourth-order elixir!”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air when he saw the grade effect of this pill.
Most of the rewards he has obtained so far are in the third order.
Only the substitute talisman he drew before was lucky enough to get a fourth-order reward.
I didn’t expect to draw a fourth-order elixir again today.
And the effect of this elixir is indeed extraordinary.
After the death of a cultivator, the soul can exist for a period of time.
Therefore, high-level cultivators must kill people to destroy both body and soul in order to ensure that there are no future troubles.
Like in the Demonic Dao, after killing someone, they capture the souls of others to practice spells and supernatural powers, or to sacrifice magic weapons.
And this elixir, even if a person is dead, as long as they have not been beaten to the point of complete annihilation, taking the elixir can regenerate bones and muscles and be resurrected.
This effect is simply terrifying!
It can be said to be a real life-saving elixir!
“However, this elixir is ranked fourth order, so it seems a bit tasteless.”
“Like the Golden Core True Person fighting, they must beat people to the point of annihilation, like the Nascent Soul True Monarch is even more impossible to let people…”
“Hey, I heard that the Nascent Soul True Monarch not only has a lifespan of over a thousand years, but also has various incredible methods.”
“Among them, there is a method called seizing the body and reincarnating.”
“The book records that the Nascent Soul True Monarch’s mana and supernatural powers are all in the Nascent Soul in the body. Even if they are beaten to the point of soul flying away, as long as the Nascent Soul is not destroyed, they can seize the body and be reborn.”
“Moreover, the Nascent Soul True Monarch masters the power of the void, and the Nascent Soul can escape into the void, and any prohibition spells are difficult to stop it, and the ability to save life is extremely powerful!”
Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.
Regarding the knowledge of the Nascent Soul, on the one hand, he usually knows it by reading books.
On the other hand, it is known through the exercises he obtained through the lottery, according to the content above.
“But even if it is precious and powerful, it is still a bit tasteless to me now.”
Lu Changsheng looked at this Soul Fusion Return Life Pill and exhaled a long breath.
He directly put this elixir in the system space to eat dust.
He plans to take it out when he needs it.
