Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 530: Transplanting the method of longevity between heaven and earth, Bai Ling gave birth to a ball!
“Dao Soldiers, repel False Core True Person.”
Lu Quanzhen had been living in seclusion these days, mostly recuperating and observing the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine.
Seeing how lively his Family was, he also got an understanding of the situation.
After hearing about the Purple Nether Secret Realm, he was filled with emotion.
He recalled that back then, he and Lu Ping’an had entered the Purple Nether Secret Realm together and fought side by side.
But now, his body was half-crippled and would take several years to recover.
Meanwhile, Lu Ping’an had grown into an almost invincible existence below the Core Formation stage, becoming the pillar of the Family.
“With Father protecting his Dao, Big Brother should be able to grow steadily and Breakthrough to Core Formation.”
Lu Quanzhen murmured in his heart.
Although Lu Ping’an was pushed to the forefront,
he knew very well that his Father was the true stabilizing force of the Family.
With Father present, even if Lu Ping’an’s personality was gentle and not suited for the brutal struggles of the Cultivation World, he could still continue on.
Without further thought, he arrived at Biyun Peak, in the Spiritual Vein area, and sat cross-legged, looking at the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine before him.
Aside from the Withering Glory Art, he had been observing the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine these days, gaining many insights into withering and flourishing, life and death.
It was just that these insights were still very ethereal, not clear and thorough enough.
But he felt that if he could thoroughly comprehend them, he would gain immense benefits!
Heaven Sword Sect.
“Bihu Mountain Lu Ping’an, wielding the Flood Dragon Snake Dao Soldiers, defeated Divine Blade Shangguan Family’s Shangguan Jiuyang.”
Qin Yi stared blankly at the message in her hand.
The once naive and simple-minded Young Master had unknowingly grown into a prominent figure in the Jiang Country Cultivation World.
And herself…
She bit her red lips with her pearly teeth.
Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, a certain stronghold of Beast Taming Xu Family.
A tall and elegant woman with straight, long legs and fiery red hair draped over her shoulders stood quietly on the pavilion.
Her eyes were dark and deep, like clear blue waves, exquisite and mysterious, as she looked at the Jade Slip in her hand.
Everyone was focused on the battle between Lu Ping’an and Shangguan Jiuyang.
However, she saw a Lu Family disciple named Lu Chensha in this information.
This person possessed a second-order Yao Beast and was the leader of Bihu Mountain Lu Family’s expedition to the Purple Nether Secret Realm this time, leading the pursuit of Shangguan Family disciples.
“Lu Chensha.”
Xu Ruyin’s red lips were vibrant, fiery like flames, and her dark eyes suddenly turned crimson like the moon.
She seemed like a lofty, inviolable Divine Phoenix, her skirt fluttering as if she was about to soar into the Nine Heavens!
Qingyun Sect.
Caiyun Peak, Caiyun Hall.
“Bihu Mountain, Lu Ping’an?”
Yun Wanchang looked at the Qingyun Sect Leader before her, her delicate brows slightly furrowed in surprise.
She hadn’t expected Bihu Mountain to cause such a stir again.
However, this Lu Ping’an’s growth speed was too fast, wasn’t it?
She remembered that a few years ago, this Lu Ping’an could barely contend with Sima Tong of the Sima Family, only suppressing him by relying on a Formation ambush.
How could he defeat Divine Blade Shangguan Family’s Shangguan Jiuyang in the blink of an eye?
Could it be that this person, like that scoundrel Lu Changsheng, had always hidden his true strength?
If so, this Family was… too cunning, wasn’t it?
“That’s right, I heard that Bihu Mountain Lu Changsheng is serving as a Guest Elder on Caiyun Peak and knows Junior Sister.
“So I was thinking of asking if Junior Sister knows anything. If this Bihu Mountain is trustworthy, we can support them to some extent to counterbalance the Xu Family.”
Qingyun Sect Leader was thin but had a steady demeanor and an invisible aura of authority.
Regarding Lu Ping’an’s matter, Baiyun Zhenren had reported it to him immediately after returning.
After understanding the situation these days, he also wanted to ask Yun Wanchang for her opinion.
“…”
Yun Wanchang’s beautiful eyes held a strange expression.
Others might not know, but she was aware that Bihu Mountain’s strength was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
That detestable little scoundrel Lu Changsheng had not only Breakthrough to Core Formation, but also possessed a third-tier peak Yao King, whose combat power could be said to be invincible below the Nascent Soul stage.
Even she might not be his opponent.
Under such circumstances, supporting Bihu Mountain to counterbalance Beast Taming Xu Family?
It would be more accurate to use Beast Taming Xu Family to counterbalance Bihu Mountain!
“His character is… not bad. He once saved Xiao Xiyue and I have some Karma with him, so I let him serve as a Guest Elder on Caiyun Peak.”
“If Sect Leader Senior Brother wants to support them, you can arrange it as you see fit.”
Yun Wanchang, in her colorful skirt, tall and graceful, spoke calmly and indifferently.
Although she wasn’t clear about Bihu Mountain’s specific situation, since Sect Leader said so, she was willing to go with the flow.
“Good. In that case, I will send someone to meet this Lu Changsheng and Lu Ping’an later.”
“If they are truly as rumored, of good character, and close to our Qingyun Sect, then as long as this person performs exceptionally well in the Wilderness War in the future, we can even consider bestowing a Ningjing Pill.”
Qingyun Sect Leader nodded slightly.
Their Qingyun Sect’s support for Bihu Mountain was mainly focused on Lu Ping’an as an individual.
After all, only by Breakthrough to Core Formation could one contend with Beast Taming Xu Family.
“Ningjing Pill.”
Yun Wanchang had learned about the Yinming Ghost Sect matter before.
She knew that Lu Changsheng had extorted two Ningjing Pills from the Yinming Ghost Sect.
Moreover, given his mysterious circumstances, he might have more than two Ningjing Pills in his possession.
“Hmm, Sect Leader Senior Brother, you can arrange it as you see fit.”
Yun Wanchang said no more.
Although she was willing to take care of Bihu Mountain and help Lu Changsheng to some extent, she would not be overly biased and affect the Sect’s interests.
Furthermore, making her praise Lu Changsheng against her conscience was simply impossible.
After speaking, Yun Wanchang looked at Qingyun Sect Leader and said, “Sect Leader Senior Brother, I plan to go on an outdoor journey in a few days, so I intend to hand over the Law Enforcement Hall to Qin Yi.”
“Outdoor journey…”
Qingyun Sect Leader was startled, instantly realizing that Yun Wanchang was going out to seek an Nascent Soul Opportunity.
Although Qingyun Sect was one of the Four Great Immortal Sects of Jiang Country and had a rich heritage, they could at most gather a few Nascent Soul Spirit items.
Rare Medicinal Pills like Nascent Soul Pill were also unobtainable.
To Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, the Sect could only provide assistance.
Unlike Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, they couldn’t directly support it.
“Junior Sister has only Breakthrough to Late Stage Core Formation for a few years. Aren’t you going to prepare for a bit longer?”
“Currently, all nations are showing signs of unrest, and a war is very likely to break out.”
“If a great war begins, with Junior Sister’s talent, there might be an Opportunity.”
Qingyun Sect Leader pondered.
Most Cultivators who Breakthrough to Late Stage Core Formation would choose to go out and temper themselves, seeking Nascent Soul Opportunities.
But Yun Wanchang was only over two hundred years old, with enough time to accumulate.
Moreover, in his opinion, his Junior Sister possessed a Spirit Phoenix Marrow Body.
If she was willing, she could completely find a True Monarch’s direct disciple or a True Monarch’s descendant to be her Dao Companion, thereby obtaining Nascent Soul resources and support.
“Even if war breaks out, it will take time to ferment. If that time truly comes, and the Sect needs me, I will naturally return.”
Yun Wanchang said so.
Her outdoor journey was partly because her Immortal Golden Core had already been cultivated.
The other reason was that she was stimulated by Lu Changsheng’s situation.
His growth speed was too astonishing.
If she just blindly Cultivated, she might be caught up and surpassed by him someday.
“One day, I will step onto the peak of Qingyun and embrace the colorful clouds!”
Three years ago, Lu Changsheng’s words to her were still vivid in her memory, often echoing in her mind.
If it were anyone else, such words could be taken as a joke.
But the former Qi Refining Cultivator had grown to an astonishing degree.
Perhaps in a few decades, that day would arrive.
Thinking of this day, Yun Wanchang’s heart trembled, and she sighed faintly, somewhat at a loss as to how to face it.
“Alright, the matter of the Law Enforcement Hall Master will be as Junior Sister says. For this outdoor trip, does Junior Sister need to make any preparations?”
Qingyun Sect Leader did not persuade her further.
Everyone had their own destiny.
Breaking through to Late Stage Core Formation, going out to temper oneself, and seeking Nascent Soul Opportunities were also traditions of their Immortal Sects.
If Yun Wanchang could obtain an Opportunity and Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, it would also be a great joyous event for their Qingyun Sect!
“I’ve pretty much prepared.”
Yun Wanchang said softly.
She had been a bit worried about Xiao Xiyue.
But now, Xiao Xiyue’s heart was entirely on Lu Changsheng, and the two had even begun to resolve the Supreme Emotion Severing Art.
Under such circumstances, she was too lazy to worry.
Besides, Chu Qingyi was still in the Sect.
However, thinking that her disciple Chu Qingyi was also entangled with Lu Changsheng, she felt a headache and irritation.
This was also one of the reasons she chose to go on an outdoor journey.
Seeing both her disciples being ‘harmed’ by Lu Changsheng, she found it difficult to Cultivate peacefully and needed to travel to clear her mind.
“Good.”
Qingyun Sect Leader chatted with Yun Wanchang for a while, then bid farewell and left.
After Yun Wanchang watched Qingyun Sect Leader leave, she stood still for a long time, then looked towards a courtyard on the mountainside and transmitted her voice, “Xiao Xiyue, go to Bihu Mountain…”
The matter of Qingyun Sect supporting Bihu Mountain should not have been told to Lu Changsheng.
But after thinking about it, she decided to inform him anyway and see what Lu Changsheng thought.
Bihu Mountain had been very lively these days, with an endless stream of visitors.
However, such Family trivial matters did not require Lu Changsheng’s concern; his children could handle them.
At this moment, on the peak of Biyun Peak.
Lu Changsheng and his wives, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen, looked at the Auspicious Tree before them.
During this time, Lu Changsheng had accumulated the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus Grotto-heaven’s Spiritual Qi to a certain degree.
He was preparing to transplant Qu Zhenzhen’s Natal Spiritual Root, the ‘Auspicious Tree’, into the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus.
The transplantation of the Auspicious Tree was also because the Auspicious Tree had a subtle connection with the Xumi Tree King, allowing for timely response in case of any unexpected situations.
“Chih!”
The Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus in Lu Changsheng’s hand spun up, shimmering with colorful light, gently swaying, as if interwoven with Dao and principles, its Qi mechanism profound.
In the center of the lotus seat, ripples surged, forming a small vortex, as if connecting to another world.
“Buzz!”
The Auspicious Tree, rooted beside the Xumi Tree King, instantly entered the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus.
Lu Miaohuan and Lu Miaoyun, seeing this scene, immediately looked at Qu Zhenzhen with anticipation.
“Zhenzhen, how do you feel?”
Lu Changsheng also turned to Qu Zhenzhen, asking with concern.
“Husband, I can still sense the Auspicious Tree, but there’s an invisible barrier, just like when I usually leave Biyun Peak very far away, my magic power has been affected.”
Qu Zhenzhen experienced her situation and said so.
“Good, Zhenzhen, you observe the situation these days. If you feel any discomfort, tell me immediately.”
Lu Changsheng held his wife’s hand and said gently.
Although based on his analysis, there was a high probability of no problems.
But to be on the safe side, he decided to maintain this for a period first.
After ensuring there were no issues, he would take his three wives out to play.
After all, the three wives had Cultivated the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method and had not left Bihu Mountain for decades.
“Mm-hmm.”
Qu Zhenzhen wore a light green silk dress. Her skin was fair, her face gentle, and a faint smile always played on her lips. She possessed both the fresh and ethereal charm of a young girl and the captivating allure of a blossoming young woman.
Following this, Lu Changsheng and Qu Zhenzhen continued to test the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method.
She could currently only move a few hundred meters away from Lu Changsheng.
The further she moved, the more severe her magical power depletion became, and she even felt an invisible restraint on her entire being.
This situation was similar to usual, but now it was even more severe.
However, as long as she was by Lu Changsheng’s side, it was not a big problem.
“Husband, Fairy Xiyue has arrived.”
Just as Lu Changsheng and Qu Zhenzhen were testing the effects of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, a communication talisman appeared in Lu Miaoyun’s Storage Pouch.
Because Lu Changsheng often went into seclusion and was busy with matters, Xiao Xiyue would send messages to Lu Miaoyun if it wasn’t an urgent matter.
“Oh? Xiao Xiyue is here?”
Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.
Xiao Xiyue had only returned recently, and now she was back again, which likely meant something important.
Immediately, he and the women went to meet Xiao Xiyue.
“Changsheng…”
Xiao Xiyue, dressed in a moon-white gown, had a cold and sacred demeanor. Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, her eyes immediately softened, and she stated the purpose of her visit.
“Support?”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, not expecting such a good thing.
“I’m not clear on the specifics, but I only know that the Beast Taming Xu Family now has a deep Foundation, which has caused some dissatisfaction within the Sect. So, they want to give them a warning, and it’s also preparation for the Wilderness War.”
Xiao Xiyue explained the Sect’s attitude towards the Beast Taming Xu Family and the Lu Family.
Although Qingyun Sect was willing to support the Lu Family, it was also due to their potential and as preparation for the war.
“Wilderness War…”
Four years ago, Yun Wanchang had already told Lu Changsheng about the Wilderness War.
He didn’t expect it to be confirmed so quickly.
“There’s no problem with this aspect.”
Lu Changsheng nodded and said.
He was not repulsed by such matters.
After all, what his Family had to do was express their stance.
Then, actively respond to some matters of the Qingyun Sect.
They didn’t need to do anything else.
As for the Ningjing Pill from Qingyun Sect, he didn’t have much thought about it.
True disciples like Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi could compete for Ningjing Pill.
But for subordinate Families like theirs to obtain Ningjing Pill, they had to fight to the death and pay a lot of conditions and prices.
Therefore, having the name and banner of Qingyun Sect was enough for them to continue developing steadily.
“Mm, Master and the Sect Leader have both agreed, so as long as there are no major problems, it’s basically finalized.”
Xiao Xiyue nodded, stating her opinion.
She knew Bihu Mountain’s development policy and strategy, so she also offered some suggestions.
After Xiao Xiyue gave her report and understood Lu Changsheng’s attitude, she didn’t stay long and returned to Qingyun Sect to report back.
Lu Changsheng informed Lu Ping’an about this matter, and life continued as usual.
On this day, Lu Chensha found Lu Changsheng.
He stated that he was ready and could attempt Foundation Establishment at any time.
“Good.”
Although Lu Chensha’s Foundation hardly needed a Foundation Establishment Pill, Lu Changsheng still gave him a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
As the Lu Family already had so much Foundation Establishment experience, Lu Changsheng didn’t stay by his side all the time.
He just asked Honglian to pay attention and went to check on Bai Ling’s situation himself.
Not long ago, Bai Ling had indicated that she was about to give birth.
These days, the fetus often stirred in her belly, causing her to have restless sleep and making her feel very weak.
Time passed bit by bit. Eight days later, a False Core True Person from Qingyun Sect came to visit.
Her visit this time did not mention anything about support.
It was as if she had come to offer condolences.
She stated that Bihu Mountain had been incredibly prominent in recent years, and Mountain Lord Lu truly possessed great Luck, having given birth to a good son, and so on.
She also expressed that Qingyun Sect hoped to have more Family forces like Bihu Mountain under its governance.
If they encountered any trouble or needed any help, they could seek more assistance from the upper Sect.
With Xiao Xiyue’s prior notification, Lu Changsheng was well-prepared in this regard and had a very pleasant conversation with this Qingyun Sect Elder.
Afterward, this False Core True Person went to White Tiger Mountain to meet Lu Ping’an.
Although Lu Ping’an was not good at this aspect, his personality was straightforward, so he could just say what he thought.
After all, the person who came this time, Qingyun Sect, had already investigated the situations of Lu Changsheng and Lu Ping’an.
Especially Lu Ping’an.
He was neither arrogant nor impetuous. Several times when he fought with others, he chose to stop at the right moment. His character was gentle and magnanimous, which greatly satisfied Qingyun Sect.
Xumi Grotto-heaven.
In Chang Sheng Hall.
“This little fellow is just hungry. Come, have another ‘Baby Nourishing Pill’.”
Lu Changsheng held Bai Ling, placed a Medicinal Pill into her mouth, and then used Yin and Yang magical power to dissolve the medicinal power for her, nourishing her Physical Body and the fetus.
According to his and Honglian’s analysis, this fetus possessed True Spirit Bloodline and required far more nutrition than ordinary people.
Bai Ling’s nutrition simply couldn’t keep up, leading to prolonged lethargy.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng specially refined many top-grade Medicinal Pills for strengthening the Foundation and nourishing the essence, naming them ‘Baby Nourishing Pills’.
Bai Ling, weak and delicate, nestled in Lu Changsheng’s embrace. Suddenly, she frowned and let out a soft ‘ouch’.
Lu Changsheng quickly comforted Bai Ling, thinking to himself that this child was truly mischievous.
“Brother, I think… I’m about to give birth.”
Bai Ling bit her pale lips and said with a somewhat pained expression.
“Miaoge! Honglian!”
Lu Changsheng quickly called for Honglian and Lu Miaoge to help with the delivery.
For a situation like Bai Ling’s, ordinary midwives were of no use at all.
Thinking that Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen all possessed the ability to nourish and heal, Lu Changsheng called them all over.
Immediately after, Lu Changsheng told Xumi to look after Bai Ling, and then he waited nearby for the birth of this child.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
Inside the Immortal Cave, a faint, almost inaudible sound suddenly rang out, causing a transparent white spiritual light to rise within the Immortal Cave.
“This is… an anomaly?”
Lu Changsheng was surprised and doubtful.
He hadn’t expected this child’s birth to cause an anomaly.
Such a situation was extremely rare.
Not long after, Bai Ling gave birth.
Even though Lu Changsheng had anticipated it beforehand, he was still completely bewildered when he saw the child.
It was an ethereal, flowing, translucent, white-gold glowing flesh ball, or rather, an egg.
It was about the size of a pumpkin, and it even emanated a bit of warmth, indicating it was freshly ‘baked’.
“Brother…”
Bai Ling looked at her baby with a pale and weak face.
But seeing that it was still an egg, she was at a loss for words.
It wasn’t just her.
Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen all looked bewildered.
Although they had known that Bai Ling’s child was a bit unusual, for it to be an egg upon birth was simply too…
Could it be that it still needed to be incubated for a while longer?
“Don’t panic.”
Lu Changsheng noticed that the appearance of this flesh ball bore some resemblance to the white-gold cocoon Bai Ling had transformed into initially, and he raised his hand to speak.
Then he stepped forward and held the flesh ball in his hands.
Upon touching it, he immediately felt a warm current and a faint, fragrant aroma.
“Baby, I’m Daddy, are you there?”
Lu Changsheng examined the flesh ball for a moment, then extended a finger, gently poked it, and asked.
Although according to Li Jing’s experience, he could just cleave it open with a sword, he truly couldn’t bring himself to do such a thing.
The flesh ball emitted a rich vitality, but there was no response.
“Young Master, this situation is a bit like it doesn’t have enough nutrients; it’s a premature birth.”
At this moment, Honglian, who was beside him, spoke up.
Although she didn’t know how True Spirit Family children were nurtured and born, as a Third-Order Beast Taming Grandmaster, she had extensive experience in nurturing Spirit Beasts.
She could tell that this egg had strong vitality, but it might still be a little short of what was needed for birth.
“Then what should I do?”
Lu Changsheng immediately frowned upon hearing ‘premature birth’.
Bai Ling’s situation indeed seemed like she couldn’t sustain this fetus.
“Young Master, why don’t you try putting her into the Spirit Eye Spring?”
Honglian said with some uncertainty.
“Xumi!”
Lu Changsheng called out, directly asking Xumi to move the Spirit Eye Spring outside Chang Sheng Hall over.
Instantly, the Spirit Eye Spring appeared in the Immortal Cave, with three Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotuses swaying within it.
Lu Changsheng carefully placed the egg into the Spirit Eye Spring.
“Gurgle gurgle gurgle—”
An astonishing scene unfolded.
This egg began to absorb the spring water from the Spirit Eye Spring.
“Young Master, put some refined Spirit Medicine into the spiritual spring again.”
Seeing this, Honglian knew her judgment was correct and immediately said.
“Buzz!”
Lu Changsheng immediately took out several Spirit Medicines he had treasured, refined their medicinal juice, and dripped them into the Spirit Eye Spring.
Then he asked Lu Miaoyun to retrieve some Spirit Medicines from the Family treasury.
Just like that, as Spirit Medicine was continuously added, the translucent, white-gold glowing flesh ball began to gradually glow, flickering on and off, with an ethereal flow.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng looked at Honglian again, asking what to do about this situation.
“Young Master, wait a moment, and then add more Spirit Medicine.”
Honglian said with some hesitation.
This child’s situation was unusual, and she didn’t dare to act rashly.
Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen all watched the flesh ball, holding their breath, not daring to speak loudly.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
The flesh ball flickered on and off for a long time, almost completely draining the spring water and Spirit Medicine from the Spirit Eye Spring. Then, an endless, sacred, dazzling light burst forth, almost illuminating the entire Immortal Cave, accompanied by bursts of ethereal sounds.
This ethereal sound was much louder than before, but it was still far from the grand Dao ethereal sound Lu Changsheng experienced when forming his Golden Core.
Just then,
A strong Spiritual Root enhancement tremor surged through Lu Changsheng’s entire body.
And two System prompts sounded in his mind.
“Congratulations to the Host for giving birth to a child with True Spirit Bloodline for the first time, gaining one lottery chance!”
“Detecting a conflict between the Host’s current Spirit Body and Bloodline effects. Do you choose to fuse?”
Lu Changsheng ignored the System prompts in his mind and looked at the child before him with a solemn expression.
The light gradually dimmed.
An infant lay in the Spirit Eye Spring.
Her skin was fair, and she was as delicate as carved jade, similar to an ordinary infant.
However, at the center of her brows, there was a small, white-gold glowing snake pattern.
Upon closer inspection, her eyes were also different from those of ordinary people.
Deep within her pupils, faint white-gold glimmers rotated slowly around the irises, appearing sacred and peaceful, yet also giving a sense of strangeness.
