Chapter 157: My son Ping An has the potential to be a martial saint!

Lu Changsheng saw that Bai Ling and Granny Zhao had just experienced great ups and downs and were physically and mentally exhausted, so he did not go directly to Ruyi County.

It was about three or four days’ journey from here to Ruyi County.

The two were just mortals and did not have the physical strength or energy.

Immediately, he found a city to land in.

He let the two rest for a night and have a good meal.

With Granny Zhao’s help, Bai Ling changed into an exquisite and gorgeous white flowing fairy dress.

Her dark and beautiful hair was tied into pigtails, like a cute porcelain doll.

“Brother.”

She came to Lu Changsheng timidly, her eyes full of hope, showing him her new clothes.

But she was still very nervous, her two small hands holding the corners of her skirt. Like a frightened little rabbit, she was pitiful.

“Little Ling’er is so cute.”

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly as he looked at Bai Ling’s petite and timid appearance.

He rubbed her little head, causing a happy and enjoyable smile to appear on her cute little face.

“Let’s go, let’s go eat.”

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng took the little girl’s hand and went to eat.

Just then, Lu Changsheng saw some scales on Bai Ling’s wrist and looked at them a few times.

When the little girl saw Lu Changsheng looking at the scales on her wrist, her face turned pale.

She quickly pulled down her sleeve to cover her wrist, her delicate body trembling, and said timidly and anxiously: “Brother, I’m sorry, I… I didn’t mean to scare you.”

When Lu Changsheng saw the little girl like this, her voice anxious and frightened, with a hint of crying, he sighed slightly.

He knew that the little girl had suffered a lot of ridicule and contempt because of these scales over the years.

This caused her to be very sensitive in this regard and had formed a stress response.

He gently squatted down.

Looking at the girl’s face full of fear and inferiority, he carefully lifted her sleeve, looked at the white snake scales, and said in a gentle tone: “How is this scary? These scales are very beautiful.”

As he spoke, his palm gently stroked the scales.

The white scales were perfectly integrated into her fair little arm, and it was almost impossible to see them if you didn’t look closely.

It felt a little cool to the touch, but it was not rough and very smooth.

The little girl, whose face was full of fear, was stunned when she heard this.

Ever since the scales grew on her body, even her grandmother was a little scared at the time.

Later, a boy in the village saw the scales on her arm and called her a monster.

This caused the other people in the village to learn about it and think she was a monster.

She even wanted to dig off the scales with a knife at the time.

But every time she dug until she was covered in blood, they would grow back soon, without even leaving a scar.

It was only after her grandmother comforted her and said it was okay that she gradually accepted the scales.

But these scales were still a knot in her heart, and she usually covered them with clothes, unwilling to be seen.

Lu Changsheng was the first to say that these scales, which even she herself minded and feared, were very beautiful.

At this moment, a strange feeling arose in the little girl’s inferior and weak heart.

Her black and white eyes were like peach blossoms, filled with tears, looking at Lu Changsheng as if drunk, and said timidly: “Brother, do you really not think it’s scary?”

Lu Changsheng looked at Bai Ling’s black and white eyes, and actually saw a bit of enchanting and moving, soul-stirring charm.

This made his heart flutter and he was slightly distracted.

“This”

If he hadn’t checked several times with his divine sense and confirmed that the other party was just an ordinary little girl, Lu Changsheng would have even thought that the other party was using charm techniques.

However, in just an instant, this charm disappeared.

Her black and white eyes only showed pity.

The charm just now seemed to be an illusion, as if it didn’t exist.

“How could it be scary, I think it’s very beautiful.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the timid and gentle girl, smiled lightly, and said gently.

He was even more surprised in his heart as to what the other party’s situation was.

She actually made him, a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator, slightly distracted in front of her.

He didn’t look at her much, knowing that the little girl couldn’t adapt all at once.

He pulled down Bai Ling’s sleeve, then rubbed the other party’s little head again, and said with a smile: “Little Ling’er, don’t care too much about other people’s gazes and opinions.”

“If brother says it’s good-looking, then it’s good-looking, understand?”

Listening to Lu Changsheng’s gentle words, Bai Ling seemed to be bathed in a spring breeze, and her heart couldn’t help but be quiet and peaceful.

Immediately, she nodded vigorously.

“Let’s go, let’s go eat.”

As he spoke, he took the little girl’s hand and went to eat.

Granny Zhao outside the room breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene.

She didn’t know what this immortal was interested in about Bai Ling.

Would he dislike her because of Bai Ling’s situation?

But at this time, she felt that the scales on Bai Ling’s body should not be a bad thing.

Otherwise, this immortal would not have taken a liking to her.

Immediately, the three came to a private room to eat.

Facing a table of delicacies, Bai Ling and Granny Zhao were dazzled and appeared slightly restrained.

Lu Changsheng told them to be casual, chatting with them while eating and asking about some things.

Through chatting, Lu Changsheng also had a general understanding of Bai Ling’s situation.

She was eleven years old this year.

Her mother died when she was two years old, and her father died when she was five years old.

After eating hundreds of meals for a period of time, she was adopted by Granny Zhao.

For some unknown reason, Bai Ling found that scales began to grow on her wrist when she was seven years old.

Subsequently, some scales gradually grew on her neck, shoulders, and calves.

These white scales made her very panicked and scared.

However, these scales did not cause any abnormalities in her body.

If anything, it made her grow more and more fair and delicate, and her strength was much greater than that of her peers.

“Seven years old.”

Lu Changsheng paused slightly in his heart when he heard this age.

In the world of cultivation, children can have their spiritual roots tested at the age of five or six.

Spiritual bodies are much more complicated.

Some have visions at birth, and some are similar to spiritual roots.

Some are dozens of years old, and even need some kind of opportunity for the spiritual body to awaken.

If the spiritual body awakens at the age of seven, causing scales to grow, it makes sense.

However, Lu Changsheng usually read a lot of books and information about spiritual bodies.

Bai Ling’s situation was unheard of.

“The world of cultivation is so big, there is nothing strange about it.”

“Not only can she produce charm on me, but she can also conceal her own spiritual roots, she is definitely not simple.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t think much, and planned to raise her like this first.

He would teach her to cultivate later.

After eating almost enough, Lu Changsheng found that Bai Ling had a big appetite, even bigger than that of an average adult.

At this time, Bai Ling also found that Lu Changsheng basically hadn’t eaten much.

But she had been eating small bites without stopping, and the table was full of leftovers, and her little face couldn’t help but blush.

“Immortal, this girl’s appetite is also a bit bigger than the average person.”

“Unfortunately, following this old woman, she has never been able to eat her fill.”

Granny Zhao said.

“It’s okay, being able to eat is a blessing, Ling’er eat more, order more if it’s not enough.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said to Bai Ling with a smile.

The little girl is now in the stage of development and growing her body, so being able to eat more is definitely a good thing.

Then he looked at Granny Zhao and said: “Granny Zhao, you don’t need to call me Immortal, you can call me Master from now on.”

When he entered the city just now, Lu Changsheng saw that Bai Ling seriously lacked a sense of security and was a bit socially awkward.

When the eyes of passersby on the road were cast on her, her delicate body would tremble slightly, revealing fear.

Lu Changsheng guessed that this was a sequelae left over from the village before.

He also planned to continue letting Granny Zhao take care of her and the two of them live together.

When Bai Ling’s situation gets better, observe her again and take her to his Lu residence.

“Yes, Master.”

Granny Zhao nodded quickly in response.

After eating, drinking, and resting for a night, Lu Changsheng prepared food for the two on the road, and then drove the flying boat and continued towards Ruyi County City.

Four days later, the spirit boat stopped outside Ruyi County City.

Lu Changsheng took Bai Ling and Granny Zhao off the spirit boat.

“Is brother’s home here?”

Bai Ling said timidly as she looked at the magnificent and vast city in front of her.

“That’s right, Ling’er, you and Granny Zhao will temporarily live here in the future.”

Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile, and took out the message talisman to send a message to Hong Yi.

One was to ask Hong Yi to help arrange it.

The other was that it had been so long since they had seen each other, so they could get together.

Then, he seemed to think of something, and a burst of white light surged around him, restoring his true appearance.

Before, Lu Changsheng had always used a disguised appearance.

Even when he took the two of them to rest along the way, he did not restore his true appearance.

“Brother.”

Bai Ling’s little mouth opened in an O shape when she saw Lu Changsheng’s true face, and she was shocked.

Granny Zhao next to her was also surprised, thinking that he was indeed a true immortal, and she had never seen such a good-looking person.

“Brother usually hides his face.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, then took Bai Ling’s little hand and walked towards Ruyi County City.

“Brother is so good-looking.”

Bai Ling was holding his hand, looking up slightly, and said softly, her face a little flushed.

Ruyi County was extremely prosperous, with pedestrians coming and going on the road in an endless stream.

However, Lu Changsheng used his magic power to restrain the aura around him, reducing his sense of existence.

But even if he reduced it, his handsome face, tall figure, and unrestrained and otherworldly temperament still made many women on the road stop and look sideways with heart.

Bai Ling walked in this city, looking at the people coming and going, and couldn’t help but become nervous, tightly holding Lu Changsheng’s palm.

Before long, Hong Yi quickly rushed over.

“Brother Lu, who is this?”

Hong Yi looked at Bai Ling, whom Lu Changsheng was holding, with some surprise.

He was no longer surprised that Lu Changsheng brought a girl over.

But this age and appearance, it didn’t seem like a daughter.

If she was a concubine, she was a bit too young.

“Haha, this is a younger sister I recognize, named Bai Ling, and I plan to settle her here temporarily. I need to trouble Brother Hong to take care of her.”

Lu Changsheng opened his mouth and briefly explained the situation of Bai Ling and Granny Zhao.

“I see.”

After listening, Hong Yi didn’t ask much.

He arranged a quiet small courtyard for Granny Zhao and Bai Ling not far from the Lu residence.

He also arranged a maid and an old woman to serve the two of them.

“Brother Lu, did you just come back from traveling?”

After settling the two, Hong Yi asked Lu Changsheng.

“Yes, how did Brother Hong know?”

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

“Five months ago, Brother Li came back once.”

“Seeing that you haven’t come over, I happened to be free, so I went to Hongye Square City with Brother Li, but Miss Lu said that you were out traveling.”

Hong Yi said, saying so.

“Feiyu is back?”

“Where is he now, is he in Hongye Square City, or is he gone?”

Lu Changsheng paused when he heard this and asked.

Five months ago was exactly the time when he and Xiao Xiyue left Hongye Square City.

He didn’t expect that Li Feiyu would come back at this time.

“Brother Li came back this time to say goodbye and then went to Qingluan Immortal City, so he left after waiting for a month.”

Hong Yi said, sighing with some emotion.

He still admired Li Feiyu’s behavior.

"

After failing to be selected by the Immortal Sect, he recognized reality and gave up his unrealistic dream of cultivating immortality.

He only wanted to inherit his father’s title of Marquis Ruyi and break through the late stage of Qi Refining before his death.

However, Li Feiyu, after wasting so many years in the world of cultivation, was still full of energy.

Now he even went to Qingluan Immortal City, a sacred place for loose cultivators, which made him sigh.

The newest novels are first published on Liu-9-Shu-Ba!

“Qingluan Immortal City.”

Lu Changsheng sighed upon hearing this.

Li Feiyu had previously said that he was going to Qingluan Immortal City to make a name for himself.

However, before that, he would travel to other places to experience the world of cultivation.

Unexpectedly, Li Feiyu came back from this experience, and he had just gone out to build his foundation, so the two of them could not meet again.

“Brother Li must have experienced a lot on this trip.”

“Moreover, with Brother Li’s temperament, he might be able to make a name for himself and build an immortal foundation.”

Hong Yi also knew that Lu Changsheng’s relationship with Li Feiyu was extraordinary, obviously better than his relationship with himself, so he spoke to comfort him.

Then, he talked about some of Li Feiyu’s changes.

He said that Li Feiyu was indeed extraordinary. After more than two years of traveling, his cultivation was about to break through the sixth level of Qi Refining.

However, upon hearing these words, Lu Changsheng’s mood became even heavier.

In the world of cultivation, if you want to quickly improve your cultivation, you need spiritual medicine, elixirs, and opportunities.

If Li Feiyu wanted to obtain resources, it was naturally impossible to earn them by relying on his skills as a spiritual planter or a spiritual butcher.

He must have risked his life for them.

After the two chatted for a long time, they parted ways.

Lu Changsheng walked on the road back home, looking at the endless, turbulent canal behind the Lu Mansion, and suddenly sighed deeply.

“The world is like a tide, and people are like water. I only sigh, how many people return from the Jianghu.”

After returning home, Lu Changsheng, who was feeling a little sentimental, saw his children and realized how quickly time had passed.

The older children had grown as tall as his shoulders.

“Ping’an, what are your plans for the future?”

Lu Changsheng put his arm around his son Lu Ping’an’s shoulders and asked.

He also knew that he, as a father, was quite derelict in his duties.

Except when Lu Ping’an was young, he paid more attention to him.

Later, as the children grew older and more numerous, he paid less and less attention to them.

Only when he was free and in the mood would he ask a few questions.

“Dad, you said that reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles. I want to go out and see the world in a few years.”

Lu Ping’an didn’t know why his father suddenly asked this, scratched his head, and said somewhat embarrassedly.

After all, with parents around, one should not travel far.

As the eldest son of the family, he felt that this behavior was not very good.

But since his father asked, he would not hide it.

“It’s good to go out and see the world.”

“Wait until you break through to the Innate realm in a few years before going out.”

Lu Changsheng said.

These children are actually quite lacking in freedom.

They had been in Green Bamboo Mountain when they were young.

When they got older, they stayed in this Ruyi County City.

They spent their days reading and practicing martial arts, rarely going out.

It was normal to want to go out and see the world.

He would not stop them from doing this.

After all, the children were getting older and should be independent.

This was also an inevitable part of growing up.

As for why he said Innate, it was because Innate martial artists could use Innate True Qi to activate first-order low-grade and middle-grade talismans.

When Lu Ping’an went out to travel the Jianghu, he would be much more at ease.

“Yes, Dad, I will be able to break through to the Innate realm in three years at most.”

Lu Ping’an said happily.

He had recently become a first-class expert in the Jianghu.

One step further, and he would be an Innate expert in the Jianghu.

So, in his opinion, his father’s request was not difficult.

“Good, my son Ping’an has the potential of a Martial Saint!”

Lu Changsheng patted his son’s shoulder and joked.

Back then, Li Feiyu became a first-class expert at the age of eighteen, which was considered a genius.

Now, his son had become a first-class expert at the age of thirteen.

However, Lu Changsheng also knew that his son’s martial arts talent had nothing to do with his aptitude.

Three parts practice, seven parts eating!

Purely relying on his old father to spend money.

“Martial Saint, Dad, is Martial Saint a martial arts realm above the Innate Grandmaster?”

Lu Ping’an immediately asked upon hearing this.

He had also heard that a Martial Arts Grandmaster could be compared to some cultivators.

Now, upon hearing about this Martial Saint, he was immediately curious.

He wanted to know if a Martial Saint could be as powerful as a cultivator.

“I guess so?”

Lu Changsheng said casually.

He was purely making up a joke, who knew what a Martial Saint was.

He didn’t expect his son to be so dense that he didn’t realize it and even asked him if there was such a martial arts realm as Martial Saint.

However, seeing his son’s eyes, he roughly understood what his son was thinking.

Although the children had accepted the reality that they had no spiritual roots and could not cultivate immortality.

They still had fantasies about it in their hearts.

He sighed slightly and changed the subject: “Ping’an, what do you usually lack, such as breaking through to the Innate realm, isn’t there some Innate Pill?”

“If Dad isn’t around, you can go directly to your Uncle Hong to ask, don’t be embarrassed.”

“Also, when you want to go out, don’t run away without saying goodbye, remember to write a letter to Dad.”

Lu Changsheng said to his son.

“Dad, don’t worry, I know.”

Lu Ping’an nodded.

Lu Changsheng patted his son’s shoulder.

He was quite relieved about this eldest son, who had an honest personality and would listen to what he said.

“Wuyou, Wuyu, what are your plans for the future?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the other two children and asked.

“Dad, I also want to travel the Jianghu, but I don’t know how many years it will take for me to break through to the Innate realm, why don’t I go with Brother Ping’an?”

Lu Wuyou said with a smile.

“Then it depends on whether your Brother Ping’an is willing to take you.”

“Moreover, your Brother Ping’an has never been out before, and he will have to take you, a burden.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile upon hearing his daughter’s words.

“It’s okay, if Sister Wuyou wants to travel the Jianghu, I’ll go out and take a look first, and then come back to accompany Sister Wuyou.”

Lu Ping’an said immediately.

As the eldest son, under Lu Lan Shu’s education, he was quite responsible as an older brother.

“Hehe, thank you, Brother Ping’an.”

Lu Wuyou immediately took Lu Ping’an’s arm and snorted at Lu Changsheng, making Lu Changsheng smile and look at Lu Wuyu: “You don’t want to travel the Jianghu too, do you?”

“Second Brother said that he wants to be a magistrate in the future, governing one side and benefiting the people.”

Lu Wuyou said immediately.

“Good, that’s great, wait a few years, tell your Uncle Hong, and you can learn from him.”

Lu Changsheng said to his second son.

He approved of Hong Yi’s way of dealing with people.

He felt that the child could learn something from Hong Yi.

In this way, Lu Changsheng chatted with his children about the present, the future, and their ideals.

He also did not forget Bai Ling.

He took the time to visit Bai Ling these days, cultivating their relationship.

And he took her to meet his daughters.

So that they could keep each other company, play together, and chat, which would make it easier for her to integrate into the family in the future.

After staying in Ruyi County City for ten days, Lu Changsheng returned to Green Bamboo Mountain with everyone’s reluctance.

Lu Changsheng’s absence for more than five months naturally worried his wives and concubines.

If Lu Miaoge hadn’t said that everything was fine, saying that Lu Changsheng had gone out to travel with a good friend, they would have thought that Lu Changsheng had an accident.

Now that they saw Lu Changsheng return, they were also concerned and asked questions.

Lu Changsheng made up a good story, saying how it was on the road, until he continued to work hard at night, and then he almost coaxed his wives and concubines.

After spending several days coaxing his wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng also began to care about his children.

Like his son Lu Xianzhi, who was now introducing Qi into his body and beginning to cultivate immortality, Lu Changsheng naturally encouraged him and gave him a magic robe and a low-grade flying sword magic weapon as a reward.

Hoping that he would cultivate well and reach the third level of Qi Refining as soon as possible.

This scene made the other younger brothers and sisters envious, and made many wives and maids secretly hope that their children would work hard and strive for success.

But Lu Quanzhen, the second child with spiritual roots, was only ten years old.

He was still more than a year away from the age of cultivation.

Lu Changsheng looked at his children, his heart full of expectations.

He didn’t know how to calculate the number of children who achieved the introduction of Qi into the body.

Or whether there would be achievement rewards when the children reached the middle stage of Qi Refining, the late stage of Qi Refining, and so on.

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng chatted with these children, talked about their hearts, and paid attention to the situation.

Thanks to the overall atmosphere of the Lu family and Lu Miaoyun’s attention to the backyard, these children, regardless of their personalities, were at least not obviously crooked in his opinion, and were all okay.

If there was a problem, it was that the children of the concubines and maids were relatively less close to him, their father.

They were more in awe of him.

Regarding this, Lu Changsheng also understood what was going on.

Whether it was to his wives and concubines or his children, he could not treat everyone equally.

Many times, he either looked at the spiritual roots of the children or at the mothers of the children.

Therefore, even if he was usually very easy-going with his children, but with less contact, he would naturally be less close.

Under the overall atmosphere and the education of the children’s mothers, a dignified image was formed in the children’s hearts.

However, knowing this problem, Lu Changsheng himself had no way to improve it.

He now had one hundred and seventeen children.

Among them, twenty-eight children had spiritual roots.

Even if he only cared about the children with spiritual roots, he would not have the time or energy.

What he could do now was to put more effort into the children and try not to let the children grow crooked.

After chatting with his wives and concubines and children, Lu Changsheng also thought of his Golden Armored Bean Mother.

He dug a pit in his yard, poured in some second-order spiritual soil, and planted the Golden Armored Bean Mother.

At the same time, he asked Lu Miaoyun to take care of watering it for him.

After all, the sooner this thing was planted, the sooner it would sprout. It couldn’t be planted in the spirit pet bag.

Although Lu Miaoyun didn’t know what kind of seed it was, she naturally kept her husband’s instructions in mind and would take good care of it.

In the following time, Lu Changsheng devoted himself to making babies in Green Bamboo Mountain.

He planned to wait for Xiao Xiyue to send a message, and then he would run between Green Bamboo Mountain and Hongye Valley Fang City.
