Chapter 237: Zheng family vassal, move!

“Inheritance of the Talisman Dao, killing three Foundation Establishment cultivators?”

“Array Formation Grandmaster, using arrays to break arrays!”

Lu Miaoge was incredibly astonished as she listened to Lu Yuanzhong recount the events of the past few days.

She was especially amazed to hear that Ling Zixiao, as an Array Formation Grandmaster, had used arrays to break arrays, shaking the Yu family’s grand formation.

This was because Lu Changsheng had told her about Ling Zixiao’s condition.

The Dragon’s Roar Physique, with withered meridians and dantian, and less than 10% of her original mana.

Under such circumstances, Ling Zixiao still possessed such battle prowess.

How astonishing would she be in her prime!

“Unknowingly, the women around Changsheng are all so outstanding.”

At this moment, Lu Miaoge couldn’t help but feel a bit inferior to Lu Changsheng.

She felt that her husband was not only becoming more and more outstanding,

but the women around him, such as Xiao Xiyue, Ling Zixiao, and Meng Xiaochun, were all incredibly talented!

As for herself, if it weren’t for the cultivation techniques, Foundation Establishment Pills, and Foundation Establishment spiritual objects given to her by Lu Changsheng, she would still be stagnating at the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

How could she have possibly broken through to Foundation Establishment and condensed a perfect Dao Foundation.

“Hoo!”

She took a deep breath and gently exhaled.

Then, she looked at Lu Yuanzhong and said, “Uncle, Changsheng had already discussed the matter of establishing our own family with me.”

“It’s just that because of the family’s situation, we haven’t brought it up.”

“We planned to wait until after I reached Foundation Establishment and the family was stable before preparing for it, so we haven’t had a chance to inform you.”

Lu Miaoge had a gentle temperament, and she spoke in this way.

When Lu Yuanzhong was recounting these events, she sensed a hint of emotion in his words.

She knew that Lu Yuanzhong was a bit uncomfortable that Lu Changsheng hadn’t informed him in advance about establishing his own family, without any prior notice.

She immediately told Lu Yuanzhong some of Lu Changsheng’s previous thoughts and plans.

She indicated that Lu Changsheng had long had the idea of purchasing a suitable spiritual land to establish a family.

It was just that Lu Yuanzhong was seriously injured, and the Lu family lacked a Foundation Establishment cultivator to oversee things, so they planned to wait until she broke through to Foundation Establishment.

Now that the Yu family had attacked, it just so happened to be an opportunity, and she had also reached Foundation Establishment, so they seized Bihu Mountain and established the family.

“So that’s how it is, Changsheng is thoughtful.”

Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding smiled upon hearing this.

It wasn’t that they didn’t trust Lu Changsheng or were uncomfortable with the matter.

But in Lu Yuanzhong’s view, the initiative had always been in Ling Zixiao’s hands.

Ling Zixiao knew about Lu Changsheng’s plan to establish a family and took the initiative to plan for it.

If Lu Miaoge was completely unaware and kept in the dark, wouldn’t that mean that Lu Miaoge’s importance was less than Ling Zixiao’s.

Now, hearing that Lu Changsheng had made so many preparations for Lu Miaoge and considered so much for the Lu family, they were immediately relieved.

“Miaoge, now that you’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment, what are your plans?”

Lu Yuanding looked at his daughter and asked.

The Lu family had agreed to marry Lu Miaoge to Lu Changsheng, largely because they wanted this son-in-law, Lu Changsheng, to take root in Green Bamboo Mountain.

Now that Lu Changsheng had established his own household, it would be understandable if Lu Miaoge wanted to go to Bihu Mountain.

“Father, Changsheng has already discussed this with me. I will temporarily stay and oversee things here at Green Bamboo Mountain.”

“Moreover, the two families are now only a few thousand miles apart, and we can come and go as we please.”

Lu Miaoge naturally understood the meaning of her father’s words and said softly.

Now that the Lu family’s ancestor, Lu Yuanzhong, had corpse poison invading his organs, his lifespan was limited, and his condition was extremely poor.

Now that she had broken through to Foundation Establishment, the family naturally hoped that she would be the ancestor of the Green Bamboo Mountain Lu family and oversee things there.

When Lu Changsheng mentioned establishing his own family, she had struggled with this issue.

After all, Green Bamboo Mountain was the place that had given birth to her and raised her.

Lu Changsheng was her current family.

Whether it was Green Bamboo Mountain or Lu Changsheng, she couldn’t let go of either.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng was very considerate and didn’t make things difficult for her.

He indicated that the family established in the future wouldn’t be too far away, and they could travel back and forth.

Now, Lu Changsheng had even established his family in Bihu Mountain.

The two families were only a few thousand miles apart, making it very convenient to travel back and forth.

“Uncle, I previously changed to the cultivation technique that Changsheng gave me.”

“My mana has a healing effect, and it might be helpful for your injuries.”

Lu Miaoge didn’t dwell on this topic and spoke to Lu Yuanzhong.

Now that she had broken through to Foundation Establishment, her mana could condense Taiyi True Water, which had the effect of healing injuries and bringing the dead back to life.

“The cultivation technique that Changsheng gave you?”

Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding nodded slightly upon hearing this.

They had roughly guessed that Lu Miaoge had switched to another cultivation technique based on the spiritual energy phenomena when Lu Miaoge broke through to Foundation Establishment, as well as the changes after she broke through to Foundation Establishment.

This was because only certain rare natural treasures or top-tier cultivation techniques could cause such a transformation in a person.

“Okay, Miaoge, thank you.”

Lu Yuanzhong said.

Since his niece had said so, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.

“Taiyi True Water!”

Lu Miaoge circulated her mana and placed her right hand, which was surrounded by a sapphire blue halo, in front of Lu Yuanzhong’s chest.

She used the condensed ‘Taiyi True Water’ to nourish Lu Yuanzhong’s internal organs.

“This…”

Lu Yuanzhong’s expression froze, and his eyes revealed a look of shock.

Through this Taiyi True Water, he instantly sensed that Lu Miaoge’s mana was even more abundant than his, the Lu family ancestor at the second level of Foundation Establishment!

He couldn’t help but be surprised, what level of cultivation technique had Lu Changsheng given Lu Miaoge, and what kind of Dao Foundation had she condensed!

She had only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, yet her mana was so abundant and astonishing!

As the ‘Taiyi True Water’ permeated his body, he immediately felt his internal organs being nourished, with a slight tingling sensation.

His internal organs, which had been eroded by corpse poison and which he could only stabilize with his own mana, suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

After a moment.

“Uncle, how do you feel?”

Lu Miaoge released her fair hand, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her white jade-like forehead.

Although she had broken through to Foundation Establishment,

condensing Taiyi True Water to treat people consumed a lot of mana.

In just a moment, she had consumed most of her mana.

If she continued, she would even damage her own vitality.

“Much better, Miaoge, thank you!”

Lu Yuanzhong said to Lu Miaoge.

He indicated that his internal organs had been significantly relieved.

If he could receive treatment once a month, living for several more decades wouldn’t be a problem.

“Good, good, good, today is simply a double blessing, no, a triple blessing, we should celebrate!”

Lu Yuanding, who was next to him, immediately laughed heartily.

Today, his daughter had broken through to Foundation Establishment!

And his elder brother had received his daughter’s treatment, his injuries had been alleviated, and he would be able to live for several more decades, which was naturally a great joy for him!

Counting Lu Changsheng establishing the Lu family in Bihu Mountain.

It was a triple blessing!

“That’s right, we should celebrate!”

“However, I don’t need to reveal the details of my injuries to the outside world.”

“Now that Miaoge has broken through to Foundation Establishment, and my injuries have improved, people will immediately guess that it’s related to Miaoge and Changsheng.”

“As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be blown down by the wind. Changsheng has killed three great Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Yu family and established the Lu family in Bihu Mountain, his momentum is at its peak.”

“If too much news spreads, it might bring unnecessary trouble to Changsheng.”

Lu Yuanzhong took a deep breath and said.

“That’s right, Changsheng’s momentum is currently at its peak, and I’m afraid many family forces are paying attention to him, so it’s best to keep a low profile.”

Lu Yuanding also nodded and said solemnly.

It had only been a little over a year since Lu Changsheng returned after establishing his foundation, yet he had killed three members of the Yu family, seized Bihu Mountain, and established his own family.

And the situation of Green Bamboo Mountain was known to many.

They could guess that Lu Miaoge’s establishment of the foundation was likely related to Lu Changsheng.

Under such circumstances, too much shocking news would easily add trouble to Lu Changsheng.

After all, in the world of cultivation, there were always people thinking about plotting for other people’s opportunities.

After the three chatted for a while, they announced to the family that Lu Miaoge had broken through to Foundation Establishment.

Immediately, the entire Green Bamboo Mountain was lively, filled with joy.

Bihu Mountain.

Lu Changsheng instructed Ling Zixiao and prepared to go to Green Bamboo Mountain to bring Lu Miaoyun and his other wives, concubines, sons, and daughters over.

At this time, he heard from his son Lu Xianzhi that the Zheng family’s ancestor had come to pay a visit.

He had a considerable impression of this Zheng family ancestor.

Back when he held his second-tier Talisman Master Grand Ceremony, this Zheng family ancestor had actually personally sent a direct descendant with a fifth-grade spiritual root to him as a concubine.

“I’ll go take a look.”

Lu Changsheng said to Ling Zixiao.

Then, he came to the mountain gate.

“Ancestor Zheng.”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised to see Ancestor Zheng of the Zheng family outside the formation, with his white hair, haggard face, and a body full of twilight.

Four years ago, although the other party was old, he wasn’t this bad.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator to be able to age to this extent, his lifespan was probably running out, and he would likely pass away in the next few years.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, please forgive my presumptuous visit today.”

Ancestor Zheng of the Zheng family showed a slightly ingratiating smile on his wrinkled face and cupped his hands.

“Hehe, Ancestor Zheng’s visit brings honor to my humble abode, please come in.”

Lu Changsheng vaguely guessed why this Zheng family ancestor had come.

In the past, the Zheng family had a good relationship with the Chen family.

But the Red Leaf Valley Chen family was destroyed, and the Zheng family’s ancestor’s lifespan was running out, and the family had no successors, so they turned to the Bihu Mountain Yu family.

Now that the master of Bihu Mountain had changed, and the Yu family no longer existed, this Zheng family ancestor naturally had to reconsider his future path.

After arriving at a hall, Lu Changsheng took out spiritual tea from his storage bag to entertain this Ancestor Zheng.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, I won’t beat around the bush.”

“I think Fellow Daoist Lu is also clear about my Zheng family’s situation…”

After chatting for a few words, Ancestor Zheng of the Zheng family went straight to the point, telling him about his family’s situation.

He indicated that his lifespan was running out and that he would pass away in the next few years.

The only thing he couldn’t let go of after death was his family’s descendants.

Therefore, he was willing to be affiliated with Bihu Mountain, requesting the protection of Bihu Mountain, and would offer 30% of the income from his Centipede Ridge to Bihu Mountain.

“Ancestor Zheng is joking, now that we are looking out for each other, we can help each other, so how can we talk about affiliation.”

Lu Changsheng immediately refused upon hearing this.

He had talked with Ling Zixiao about this these days.

He knew that he had killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Yu family and seized Bihu Mountain, and his momentum was at its peak, attracting the attention of many people.

If he now took the Centipede Ridge Zheng family as an affiliate, he would be completely pushing himself to the forefront.

Moreover, he himself knew his own affairs.

He currently had more than a hundred children, all of whom were in the growth stage.

The entire family relied on him alone to oversee things.

Under such circumstances, how could he have the time and energy to take care of other families.

Taking the Zheng family as an affiliate, apart from a few more percent of the income, and making future marriages between the two families more convenient, the disadvantages completely outweighed the advantages.

Lu Changsheng knew very well that what his family needed now was to keep a low profile and develop steadily.

With the system by his side, he only needed to cultivate the fields, plant trees, raise fish, and raise children with peace of mind.

Then, he could slowly build up the reputation of ‘Grandmaster Lu, the Double Paragon of Pill and Talisman’, and build the puppet factory he had envisioned.

In the future, his family would not lack income at all, and there was no need to get involved in trouble.

Hearing Lu Changsheng’s refusal, a hint of gloom flashed in Ancestor Zheng’s eyes.

He took a sip of tea and smiled, “Fellow Daoist Lu, my Zheng family has a daughter named Zheng Xiuyun.”

“Ancestor Zheng, if this woman is to be a concubine, I can agree to this marriage.”

“But if she is to be a wife, then I’m sorry.”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment after hearing that Ancestor Zheng of the Zheng family wanted to marry a family woman with a fourth-grade spiritual root to him as a wife.

He thought that Zheng’s family situation was now such that it would be better to sell Centipede Ridge.

With a fourth-grade spiritual root, sending her to the Azure Cloud Sect and providing her with full support might lead to Foundation Establishment.

Yet, they chose to marry such a family genius to him as his wife.

A fourth-grade spiritual root, Lu Changsheng was naturally very happy about it.

But he still refused.

In his opinion, once she became his wife, she would carry a certain weight!

If the Zheng family faced a crisis in the future, should he help or not?

If he didn’t help, it would seem too heartless and affect his reputation.

If he did help, it would be asking for trouble, and what would be the difference from the previous affiliation?

“Alas, this old man is disturbing you and being presumptuous.”

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s decisive refusal, the Zheng family ancestor sighed deeply, got up, and took his leave.

He roughly understood Lu Changsheng’s attitude towards the matters of affiliation and marrying off his daughter.

The other party was unwilling to get involved in too many troublesome matters now.

At most, he would offer some slight assistance out of consideration for marrying his daughter as a concubine.

“Elder Zheng, please take care on your way.”

Lu Changsheng said to see him off.

When he reached the mountain gate, Lu Changsheng looked at the white-haired, haggard, and slightly hunched old man in front of him and sighed: “The ancestor has done his best for the family, which is fortunate for the clan, but descendants have their own fortunes.”

“Alas, the younger generations in the family are useless, and this old man is really worried. Moreover, how can the ancestral foundation be easily abandoned? I’ve made Fellow Daoist Lu laugh.”

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Hearing this, the Zheng family ancestor paused slightly, a bitter smile on his face, and sighed.

Then, he drove a spirit boat and left Bihu Mountain.

“Alas.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the departing Zheng family ancestor and shook his head.

After telling Ling Zixiao, he drove the purple flying shuttle to Qingzhu Mountain to bring Lu Miaoyun and others back.

Half a day later.

Lu Changsheng arrived at Qingzhu Mountain.

“Great Elder!”

“Great Elder!”

“Uncle!”

When these Lu family disciples saw Lu Changsheng, their eyes were full of respect and awe.

After all, the current Lu Changsheng was no longer as simple as the Great Elder of Qingzhu Mountain.

But the master of Bihu Mountain who single-handedly killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators!

“Yes.”

Lu Changsheng faced these greetings with a gentle expression, nodding in acknowledgment.

Returning home was naturally a lively affair.

“Yun’er, Huanhuan, Bihu Mountain is still short of a few mistresses. Are you willing to go to Bihu Mountain with me?”

Lu Changsheng smiled at Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaohuan.

The other concubines and maids naturally didn’t need to be mentioned.

But Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaohuan had grown up in this Qingzhu Mountain after all and were his wives.

So he would still ask to show respect for his wives.

“Yun’er will listen to her husband’s arrangements.”

“I want to go, I haven’t been to Bihu Mountain yet!”

The two women said.

One was gentle and obedient.

The other was full of enthusiasm.

“Okay, you pack up and prepare, we will return to Bihu Mountain later.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said softly.

Then he told his other wives and children about this matter.

He planned to send his wives, concubines, and children to Bihu Mountain in two batches.

After explaining the family matters, Lu Changsheng knew that Lu Miaoge had already broken through to Foundation Establishment and had come to the cave in the back mountain.

“Sister Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng came to the quiet and elegant cave.

He immediately saw Lu Miaoge, whose face was exquisitely beautiful, her temperament otherworldly, dressed in white like snow, like a secluded orchid in an empty valley, a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains.

Lu Changsheng was also somewhat surprised by Lu Miaoge’s changes.

He didn’t expect that Lu Miaoge’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment would bring about such obvious changes.

It was comparable to his own cultivation of the Immortal Appearance Art for several years.

“Changsheng, you’re back.”

Lu Miaoge opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Lu Changsheng in front of her, and a happy smile could not help but appear on her delicate and beautiful face.

“Sister Miaoge, congratulations on your breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!”

Lu Changsheng stepped forward, holding Lu Miaoge’s slender hand, and said with a smile.

No matter how much she changed, she was still his wife, and her little hand was still so soft.

“Thanks to you, Changsheng.”

Lu Miaoge said softly, her beautiful eyes always flowing over him like a galaxy.

After experiencing the breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, she clearly realized the difficulty of Foundation Establishment.

If it were under normal circumstances, without the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Taiyi Dao Seed, her probability of breaking through to Foundation Establishment would be negligible.

Even if she were lucky enough to succeed in Foundation Establishment, the Dao Foundation she could condense would probably be a shattered Dao Foundation, a flawed Dao Foundation.

It would definitely not be as successful as it is now!

“You and I are husband and wife, why bother saying these things?”

Lu Changsheng smiled.

Then the two shared their longing and affection.

Afterward.

Lu Changsheng said that he was planning to take all his wives and children to Bihu Mountain this time.

He asked Lu Miaoge what her plans were next.

“Since I’m going over, I naturally have to go over and take a look.”

“However, given the current situation of the ancestor, I still need to stay here to oversee things.”

“And in half a month, the family will hold a family banquet to celebrate.”

Lu Miaoge’s voice was soft and gentle, like water.

“Okay, let’s go to Bihu Mountain to take a look first.”

“We’ll come back then.”

Lu Changsheng said upon hearing this.

When the Lu family holds a banquet for Lu Miaoge, he will naturally participate.

“Yes.”

Lu Miaoge responded softly upon hearing this.

“By the way, Sister Miaoge, how is the effect of your Taiyi True Water?”

Lu Changsheng asked about the Taiyi True Water.

Although he had thoroughly understood this technique through the system inheritance.

But he was still not sure about its specific effects.

After all, this was also related to each person’s mana and Dao Foundation situation.

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge placed her soft hand on Lu Changsheng’s chest, and as her mana circulated, a deep blue halo surrounded it.

“Is this the Taiyi True Water?”

Lu Changsheng felt the Taiyi True Water penetrating his chest.

He only felt very comfortable all over, with warm currents surging and his spirit recovering.

“Changsheng, you have no injuries, and your mana foundation is extremely strong, so the Taiyi True Water has no obvious effect on you.”

“I used Taiyi True Water to treat the ancestor’s injuries before, and it had a significant effect.”

Lu Miaoge said softly.

“I checked the ancestor’s injuries before, and my sword qi can remove the corpse poison for him, but his corpse poison has entered his organs, causing severe decay of the five internal organs, so I don’t dare to remove the poison casually.”

“If the ancestor’s five internal organs recover a lot, I can try to remove the poison for him then.”

Lu Changsheng said upon hearing this.

He had checked Lu Yuanzhong’s condition before.

Because the five internal organs were deeply corrupted by the corpse poison, he did not dare to use the Seven Luminaries Sword Qi to remove the poison.

“Yes.”

Lu Miaoge nodded gently upon hearing this.

“By the way, I will have to trouble you to take a look at Zixiao then.”

“Before, Zixiao broke the Bihu Mountain Grand Formation, and she circulated too much mana, causing considerable damage to her meridians and dantian again.”

Lu Changsheng continued.

“Okay.”

Lu Miaoge responded softly.

After spending some time with Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng went to visit Lu Yuanding, saying that he was preparing to take his wives and children to Bihu Mountain.

He would come with Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoyun, and others for the family banquet.

At the same time, he stated that the formation of Bihu Mountain needed to be rearranged, and he needed to invite some formation masters, hoping that the Lu family could help arrange it.

After all, rearranging a family grand formation was a very large workload that could not be solved by one person in a short time.

Especially since Ling Zixiao was currently weak and needed to invite some formation masters to help arrange it.

“Okay, Changsheng, you can leave these matters to me. I will arrange and contact them for you then.”

Lu Yuanding responded directly upon hearing this.

The Lu family had many acquaintances over the years, although there were no advanced formation masters in the family.

After explaining all the matters, Lu Changsheng remembered that he had not yet visited the Fourth Elder.

Immediately, he called Lu Miaoyun and his daughter Lu Yu to visit the Fourth Elder.

“Changsheng, Qingzhu Mountain will always be your home, come back and visit often when you have time.”

The Fourth Elder’s face was old, and she held Lu Changsheng’s hand, her voice loving.

“That’s natural. If you want to come to Bihu Mountain, Grandma, you can come over at any time.”

“By the way, Grandma, please accept this Longevity Pill, so that you can stay healthy and travel between the two places often.”

Lu Changsheng said so upon hearing the old woman’s words, taking out the Longevity Pill from his storage bag.

He had initially asked his children to send the Longevity Pill to the Fourth Elder.

But the old woman insisted on not accepting it, telling Lu Changsheng to keep it for himself.

“Since it’s Changsheng’s kind intention, Grandma will accept it.”

The Fourth Elder looked at the Longevity Pill in front of her, seeing Lu Changsheng’s sincere face, and was extremely gratified in her heart.

She was unwilling to accept the Longevity Pill before because she felt that it would be a waste for her to take it.

Now, Lu Changsheng’s various performances clearly showed that he had great opportunities and did not lack this Longevity Pill.

If she refused again, it would seem that she was being pretentious.

“Great-Grandma, this is Daddy’s intention, you should have accepted it long ago.”

“You kept refusing, and Daddy even said that my brother and I were useless and couldn’t even do this little thing well.”

Lu Yu, who was next to her, held the Fourth Elder’s arm, pouting and acting coquettishly.

“Hehe, it’s Great-Grandma’s fault, I’ve wronged my Xiaoyu.”

The Fourth Elder heard this and rubbed the girl’s head.

“Hehe, the little girl is already complaining.”

Lu Changsheng heard this and smiled, lightly tapping his daughter’s forehead.

“Great-Grandma.”

The girl covered her forehead with both hands, acting coquettishly towards the Fourth Elder with a aggrieved expression.

“Grandma, I heard that there is a Dragon Carp in the Bishui Lake of Bihu Mountain that appears almost every ten years.”

“When I catch a Dragon Carp in a few years, don’t be polite with me.”

Lu Changsheng continued after seeing the old woman accept the Longevity Pill.

“Okay, okay, then I’ll rely on your blessings, Changsheng, so that Grandma can also enjoy the taste.”

The Fourth Elder heard this and said with a smile on her face.

“Dad, I want to eat too.”

Lu Yu, who was next to her, became interested upon hearing this and looked at her father.

“Eat, eat, eat, everyone gets a share.”

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

He wondered how big the Dragon Carp in this Bihu Mountain was.

If it was about the same size as the Scarlet Blood Carp, with so many people in the family, they might not even have enough soup to share.

After visiting the Fourth Elder, the sky darkened, and Lu Changsheng stayed overnight in Qingzhu Mountain.

The next day, he led a large group of wives and children and set off for Bihu Mountain in a mighty manner.

At the same time.

A middle-aged man wearing a black brocade robe, with a dark and slightly stiff face, came to the outside of a valley built along the river.

“Xiaojing Mountain.”

“I heard that the Yu family of Bihu Mountain were driven here by Lu Changsheng before.”

“Sure enough, this is the righteous path, they have to consider face in everything they do.”

The black-robed man looked at Xiaojing Mountain in front of him, sneered, and a little scarlet appeared in his eyes.

Then, he turned into a black mist and flew towards Xiaojing Mountain.
