Chapter 256: The family formation is completed, plant trees!
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
Following the Family’s new regulations, all fourteen-year-old disciples of the Lu Family could proactively apply for family affairs.
Although not everyone could directly be responsible for a workshop like Lu Xianzhi, Lu Ruyi, and Lu Quanzhen.
But everyone was assigned business matters such as spiritual fields, fishing areas, and shops.
They could also choose to enter one of the three major workshops to be responsible for a certain project, or choose a family skill to improve.
If the family academy did not have this skill, and you truly had an idea and dared to pursue it, the Family would provide relevant Legacy and a certain amount of funds for you to experiment.
Under these circumstances, these children were also full of enthusiasm.
After all, they themselves knew that at the current stage of the Family, if they worked hard, they could still contend for something.
If they waited for the Family to continue to grow, with more and more people, and talented individuals like Lu Qingxuan and Lu Wangshu grew up, they would have no special skills and would truly only be able to be freeloaders in the Family.
Moreover, even if the children were still naive, their mothers knew that the Family was in its initial construction phase, which was an opportunity for their own children.
If their child had extraordinary means and talent, they might even receive important cultivation from Lu Changsheng.
Even if their child had no talent, as long as they were diligent and hardworking, they could use this to control a portion of the Family’s industries, and in the future, whether in Cultivation or starting a family, things would be much better.
Seeing that all the Family’s children were active, Lu Changsheng did not continue to pay attention.
He handed over these matters to Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhenzhen, and Bai Feifei, Zheng Yongwan.
After all, he still had to Cultivate, make Talismans, refine the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi, and heal Ling Zixiao every day, so he truly did not have much free time to worry about so much.
On this day, Ling Zixiao told Lu Changsheng that the Family’s grand Formation on Bihu Mountain had finally been completed after one year and two and a half months.
“It’s finally finished.”
Lu Changsheng’s face showed a faint smile when he heard this.
He naturally knew the reason why the Family’s grand Formation had been repaired for so long and cost so many Spirit Stones, as he often chatted with Ling Zixiao.
Now that he knew the grand Formation was completely repaired, he also had some expectations for this new grand Formation.
The two walked out of Chang Sheng Hall and arrived at the mountain gate.
Mo Shouren and others were waiting, and upon seeing Lu Changsheng, they politely said, “Lu Daoyou, your esteemed Family’s grand Formation has been repaired, and we are just waiting for Fellow Daoist to inspect it.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Master Mo and everyone.”
Lu Changsheng cupped his hands and said.
This grand Formation was supervised and participated in by Ling Zixiao throughout, so he was naturally very relieved now that it was completed.
However, as the Mountain Lord, he still had to inspect and confirm it before Mo Shouren could return to report.
“Hehe, Lu Daoyou is too polite.”
“This grand Formation has been almost completely revamped from the original Bishui Qingtian Grand Formation, not only reducing the previous weak points and upgrading it to a Tier 2 Top Grade Grand Formation, but also adding three layers of changes.”
Master Mo took out the Formation Plate and spoke, demonstrating to Lu Changsheng.
In an instant, the originally faint mist on Bihu Mountain became dense at a visible speed, appearing azure, with not only fish-like runes but also wisps of thunder-like Qi permeating it.
“This first layer of change is called ‘Gui Water True Thunder’!
“The grand Formation can activate Gui Water True Thunder for attack, each strike comparable to a Foundation Establishment strike, and at its strongest, it can unleash Gui Water True Thunder comparable to a Core Formation True Person’s full-power strike!”
As Master Mo spoke, he formed a hand seal and vigorously waved a small cyan flag.
“Boom!”
Immediately, the grand Formation’s Spiritual Pressure surged, countless blue lightning balls appeared, and in the sky, dark clouds gathered, with a huge azure lightning bolt brewing, emanating a terrifying aura.
“This Gui Water True Thunder should only be suitable for large-scale attacks, right?”
Lu Changsheng looked up at the brewing lightning in the sky and said.
“That’s right, the Tier 3 Gui Water True Thunder consumes a lot and is only suitable for large-area attacks. If a group of enemies invades, and the Gui Water True Thunder falls, they will all turn to dust.”
Master Mo said.
Saying this, he formed a hand seal and continued to demonstrate and introduce: “This second layer of change is ‘Bishui Layered Flow’, which can draw upon the lake’s water veins, not only allowing it to manipulate the lake water to resist enemies, but also to raise a layer of water mist to block Divine Sense.”
One could see the grand Formation rumbling, the previously pervasive lightning dissipated, and the calm surface of Bishui Lake in the distance surged with waves, water columns shot into the sky, and layers of misty water vapor permeated, making parts of the grand Formation seem covered by a layer of water and mist.”
“Drawing upon the water veins to resist enemies will cause some impact on your esteemed Family’s Bishui Lake, so I will not demonstrate it too much.”
“This layer of lake water can increase the grand Formation’s defense by about thirty percent. As for the water mist, it not only provides some defense for the grand Formation but also has the effect of isolating Divine Sense.”
“Many Formation Masters can find the weak points of a grand Formation through eye techniques, Divine Sense, and breaking Formations with Formations, etc. With this layer of water mist, it can provide a certain isolating effect, making it difficult for people to find flaws.”
Master Mo held the Formation Plate and introduced.
Lu Changsheng looked at the area covered by the grand Formation’s water mist and probed with his Divine Sense.
He found that his Divine Sense was indeed somewhat affected and isolated, but the impact was not significant.
However, considering that the grand Formation was not operating at full power, and his Divine Sense had already reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, it was normal.
“The third effect is called ‘Heavy Water Suppressing Method’. This is thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu’s quasi-Magic Treasure ‘Heavy Water Bead’. Using the Heavy Water Bead as the Formation core, it forms a layered Formation, giving the interior of the grand Formation some Restriction effects.”
“When the grand Formation operates, ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators entering the Formation cannot fly with their artifacts, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators who wish to fly or use artifacts will also consume an additional twenty to thirty percent of their Magic Power.”
Master Mo said, as he spoke, he had the grand Formation apply part of the ‘Heavy Water Suppressing Method’ effect to Lu Changsheng, allowing him to experience it.
Lu Changsheng immediately felt his body sink, and when he rose into the air, it was as if he was carrying a thousand jun of weight, forcing him to expend more Magic Power to fly.
“This effect is very good.”
Lu Changsheng nodded with satisfaction.
He knew that large markets like Nine Dragon Market and Qingyun Town had anti-flight Restrictions.
But he had never tried flying in these markets.
Now, the effect of his own ‘Heavy Water Suppressing Method’ had a similar ingenious effect.
One must know that under the effect of the grand Formation, Foundation Establishment Cultivators would have to expend an additional twenty to thirty percent of their Magic Power to fly, making it much harder for them to escape once they entered the grand Formation.
What’s more, a single ‘Canghai Pearl’ had such an effect.
If Ling Zixiao’s body recovered, and all thirty-six of his Canghai Pearls were deployed, the ‘Heavy Water Suppressing Method’ effect might be able to directly suppress Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Even Core Formation True Persons would be affected to some extent.
This was equivalent to using the Spiritual Vein to activate the Canghai Pearl, a Magic Treasure.
“Lu Daoyou, this is the current situation of the grand Formation and its three layers of changes.”
Mo Shouren handed the Formation Plate and Formation Flag in his hand to Lu Changsheng, and continued, “If Fellow Daoist Lu has no questions, I will return to report. As for the specific details and other aspects of the grand Formation, with Fellow Daoist Ling here, I don’t think I need to introduce too much.”
As he spoke, when he looked at Ling Zixiao, there was a hint of regret.
Through their daily interactions, he knew that Ling Zixiao was not much inferior to him in terms of Formations.
But due to her physical condition, her cultivation was less than one-tenth of what it once was, making it difficult for her to even set up a grand Formation or operate it at full power, which was truly a pity.
“Of course there’s no problem. Master Mo has worked hard these past days setting up and repairing the grand Formation for my Bihu Mountain.”
“This is a small token of Lu’s appreciation, please accept it, Master.”
Lu Changsheng heard this and immediately took out a prepared gift and said.
Although the other party was invited to set up the grand Formation through his Qingyun Token, and all the Materials were provided by his Family.
But it took more than a year, and during the process, not only did they repair the grand Formation, but they also had the other party set up a ground fire Formation in his Pill Refining Room, Artifact Refining Room, and Puppet workshop, to nurture the fire veins.
Under such circumstances, it was natural to show some appreciation.
Moreover, being able to get to know such a Great Master of Formations and having some friendship was also a good thing.
He then took out two gift boxes for Master Mo’s two disciples.
Although these two were still Qi Refining Cultivators and Tier 1 Formation Masters, they were also quite promising, so it was good to curry favor.
“Lu Daoyou is too polite. I have also benefited greatly from setting up the grand Formation and communicating with Fellow Daoist Ling during this time.”
Mo Shouren did not refuse, and happily accepted the gift box.
“Thank you, Mountain Lord Lu!”
The two disciples, seeing this, also politely accepted the gift boxes.
“In that case, Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Ling, I shall take my leave.”
Mo Shouren cupped his hands.
“Master Mo, take care.”
Lu Changsheng opened the mountain gate and politely saw them off.
Then Mo Shouren released a spiritual boat and left with his two disciples.
“The three of you have also worked hard during this time.”
Then, Lu Changsheng looked at the three Formation Masters Lu Yuanding had invited for him and said.
He settled their Spirit Stones and also gave each of them two Tier 2 Talismans.
This was not because he had too much money, but simply because the Family was currently in its construction phase, and he wanted to build a good reputation and口碑 in such small matters.
In the future, it would be beneficial when looking for people to do things, or inviting people, or inviting Guest Elders.
“Thank you, Mountain Lord Lu!”
“Mountain Lord Lu is too polite.”
Although these three were Formation Masters, they were all very polite and flattered.
After all, the Lu Changsheng before them was not only a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator and a Talisman Master, but he had also single-handedly killed three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and now had a close relationship with Qingyun Sect.
Under such circumstances, they naturally wished to be on good terms with Lu Changsheng and Bihu Mountain.
“Our Bihu Mountain is newly established and currently in great need of talent. If the three Fellow Daoists are interested, you can serve as Guest Elders here at Bihu Mountain.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Changsheng spoke.
Every Family needs the profession of a Formation Master.
Not only for the Family’s grand Formation, but also for many other places where Formations are useful.
Although the three of them were quite ordinary, only High Grade Formation Masters, it was enough for them to serve as Guest Elders.
“This…”
Upon hearing this, the three of them wanted to refuse.
After all, with their Formation Dao level, many Family forces could have them serve as Guest Elders.
“If the three of you serve as Guest Elders in my Bihu Mountain and make sufficient contributions, I have a Tier 2 Formation Dao Legacy and my insights into the Formation Dao.”
Ling Zixiao said lightly as she saw this scene.
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately showed conflicted expressions.
In the past year or so, they had also witnessed Ling Zixiao’s Formation Dao level.
If they could obtain a Tier 2 Formation Dao Legacy and Ling Zixiao’s guidance, their Formation Dao might be able to advance further.
In the end, two of the three were moved and expressed their willingness to serve as Guest Elders in Bihu Mountain.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng signed a Spiritual Contract with the two of them.
The two served as Guest Elders in Bihu Mountain, regularly maintaining the Family’s grand Formation, and teaching Formation knowledge to the Lu Family’s juniors.
Lu Changsheng gave the two a basic monthly salary of sixty Spirit Stones.
As for matters such as setting up Formations, they would receive additional remuneration.
After settling the matter, Lu Changsheng informed Lu Miaoyun about the two’s situation and asked her to rearrange their living quarters in Bi Lake Villa.
“Zixiao, are there any other changes needed for the Family’s grand Formation?”
Lu Changsheng looked at Ling Zixiao and asked.
“Lu Lang, rest assured, the grand Formation is now completely stable. The only issue is that connecting with the water veins of the lake will affect the Bishui Lake ecosystem when the grand Formation operates at full power.”
“However, this problem will naturally be resolved once I arrange all thirty-six canghai pearls into a Formation later.”
Ling Zixiao said.
“Zixiao, you’ve worked hard.”
Lu Changsheng held Ling Zixiao’s slender, fair hand and said warmly.
“Lu Lang, there’s no need for that. As a member of the Family now, I should naturally contribute to the Family.”
Ling Zixiao said with a faint smile.
She and Lu Changsheng had known each other for three and a half years.
In these three and a half years, she didn’t say she completely fell in love with Lu Changsheng, but she had developed many feelings.
Especially in the past year or so, due to her serious injuries, Lu Changsheng had accompanied her the most and paid the most attention to her.
And Lu Miaoge, during these times, would come every half a month to treat her and nourish her Meridians and Dantian.
She wouldn’t talk too much about these things, but she kept them all in her heart.
Since Lu Changsheng was willing to exchange true feelings for true feelings, she naturally was willing to reciprocate with her heart.
“Zixiao, you should have a Formation to conceal Tier 3 spiritual plant, right?”
Lu Changsheng asked Ling Zixiao.
Now that the Family’s grand Formation was fully set up, he also planned to plant the Lingming Treasure Tree.
“Tier 3 spiritual plant!?”
Ling Zixiao was a little surprised to hear this.
One must know that Tier 3 spiritual plant, also known as heaven and earth spiritual plant, are extremely precious and rare.
Except for certain Secret Realms or Immortal Sects, few forces cultivate Tier 3 spiritual plant.
Firstly, this kind of spiritual plant is rare, and it is very difficult to transplant it to one’s own home.
Even if transplanted, if the soil and environment are not suitable, it may die, leading to a waste of natural resources.
Another point is that it is difficult to maintain!
Tier 3 spiritual plant must be planted on at least a Tier 2 Spiritual Vein.
The Spiritual Qi it requires is no less than the Spiritual Qi needed for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to Cultivate.
To cultivate it well, it must be planted on a Tier 3 Spiritual Vein.
“Does Lang Jun have a Tier 3 spiritual plant, and where do you plan to plant it?”
“Currently, in Bihu Mountain, only Biyun Peak has a Tier 2 Spiritual Vein…”
Ling Zixiao did not ask Lu Changsheng about the Tier 3 spiritual plant.
After all, in her eyes, Lu Changsheng was incredibly mysterious, so it made sense for him to have a Tier 3 spiritual plant.
However, through their long period of contact, she knew that Lu Changsheng’s understanding of the Cultivation World was still limited, and she was worried that Lu Changsheng might not know these things.
“I have always reserved an area behind Lingcui Cliff, which I intend to use for planting this spiritual plant.”
“Given the conditions of Lingcui Cliff, it should barely be able to sustain the spiritual plant.”
“As for Biyun Peak, I have other arrangements for it.”
Lu Changsheng said.
He planned to plant the Xumi Tree King on Biyun Peak.
Moreover, he, Ling Zixiao, and Lu Miaoge would also Cultivate on Biyun Peak in the future.
If both the Lingming Tree King and the Xumi Tree King were planted on Biyun Peak, it would severely affect the Spiritual Qi situation on Biyun Peak.
As for planting the Lingming Treasure Tree on Lingcui Cliff, he had previously asked Zhao Qingqing, who said that there might be some impact on its growth, but generally, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
“If the spiritual plant isn’t too large, and it’s just for concealment and isolating its aura, I have a ‘Heavenly Curtain Xumi Formation’ that would work.”
Ling Zixiao said after a moment of thought.
Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and said, “It’s not very big, but it’s not small either.”
Immediately, the two came to Lingcui Cliff.
“Greetings, Mountain Lord, greetings, Lady Monarch!”
“Father, Aunt Ling!”
The Cultivators and children busy on Lingcui Cliff immediately bowed when they saw Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao.
Because Lu Changsheng disliked the title of Old Ancestor and they were all still young.
So the Family Cultivators called him Mountain Lord, and referred to Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge, these two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, as Lady Monarch.
Some concubines also addressed Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge in the same way.
Only Lu Miaoyun, Miaohuan, and Zhenzhen were relatively closer and called them ‘Elder Sister’.
“Mm.”
Lu Changsheng nodded in acknowledgment and came with Ling Zixiao to the spiritual field area he had reserved.
“Lang Jun, are you planning to plant the Tier 3 spiritual plant here?”
Ling Zixiao asked Lu Changsheng.
“That’s right.”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Ling Zixiao nodded, slapped her Storage Pouch, and a Formation Plate appeared. Formation Flags flew out in all directions, and she began to form hand seals to set up the Formation.
The ‘Heavenly Curtain Xumi Formation’, being a simple Formation with a Formation Plate and Formation Flags, was completed in a short while.
She activated the Formation, causing a faint white glow to permeate the surroundings, concealing this area.
“Extract.”
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng took out the xuan yuan pearl from his Dantian, then with a slight thought, extracted the Lingming Treasure Tree from the System space.
Along with the surge of magical power within the xuan yuan pearl, a tree appeared, about ten feet tall and as thick as a water vat, with no leaves, dry and rough bark, but exhibiting a blue-gold color and vibrant vitality.
It was precisely the Lingming Treasure Tree!
The entire tree looked somewhat unremarkable, making it hard for people to associate it with a Tier 3 spiritual plant.
Instead, it resembled a long, giant stone.
However, the blue-gold light flowed from the roots of the Lingming Treasure Tree, condensing rich vitality, allowing one to see the extraordinary nature of this Treasure Tree.
“This is my Tier 3 spiritual plant, the Lingming Treasure Tree. It has always been kept in a Cave Heaven Magic Treasure, perfectly preserved.”
Although Lu Changsheng knew the general appearance of the Lingming Treasure Tree through the System space.
But seeing the actual object in front of him, he still felt that this tree was a bit ugly.
He thought to himself, if this were given to Lu Miaoyun and the others to Cultivate the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, he wondered if they would dislike it.
“Lingming Treasure Tree? Cave Heaven Magic Treasure?”
Ling Zixiao turned to look at Lu Changsheng, feeling as if a deep mist enveloped him.
Not only did he possess such a rare item as a Tier 3 spiritual plant.
He even had the legendary Cave Heaven Magic Treasure, capable of directly storing such spiritual plant.
She looked at the Lingming Treasure Tree, continuously observing, “This is my first time seeing such a living Tier 3 spiritual plant.”
“This Lingming Treasure Tree condenses Lingming Nectar at its roots every thirty years.”
“This nectar, when wiped on the eyes, can make them clear and bright, and enhance spiritual eye-type spells and Divine Abilities.”
“Zixiao, as a Formation Master, you can use this nectar to wipe your eyes in the future.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
As he spoke, he took out his Magic Sword and began to dig a large pit here, planting the Lingming Treasure Tree.
Then he took out several jars of spiritual liquid that he had prepared earlier and poured them onto the Lingming Treasure Tree.
“Spiritual liquid, enhancing spiritual eye-type spells?”
Ling Zixiao heard this and looked at the Lingming Treasure Tree, gaining some interest.
As a Formation Master, she herself cultivated eye techniques.
If she could enhance the effect of her eye techniques by several tenths, it would be of great help in both combat and Formations.
She smiled and said, “Then I thank Lang Jun.”
“Between you and I, why speak of thanks.”
“However, this spiritual liquid will take another thirty years to condense, so there’s quite a wait.”
Lu Changsheng laughed.
Then he handed a Jade Slip to Ling Zixiao and said, “Zixiao, take a look at this Cultivation Technique.”
He had read this Heaven and Earth Longevity Method many times, but now that he was going to teach Lu Miaoyun and the others, he thought he might as well let Ling Zixiao take a look.
After all, after such a long period of contact, he had to admit that Ling Zixiao’s Comprehension Ability was higher than his own.
“Heaven and Earth Longevity Method?”
Ling Zixiao saw this Cultivation Technique and immediately her beautiful eyes showed surprise. She turned to Lu Changsheng and said, “Is Lang Jun planning to have people Cultivate the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method using this Lingming Treasure Tree?”
“Hmm, Zixiao knows this Cultivation Technique?”
Lu Changsheng was a little surprised that Ling Zixiao knew this Cultivation Technique just by glancing at it.
“Someone once exchanged a set of Formations from me for this Cultivation Technique, so I just happened to know about it.”
Ling Zixiao nodded and said.
“So that’s how it is.”
Lu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this.
He had thought this Cultivation Technique was very rare when he first saw its effects, but he didn’t expect Ling Zixiao to have a copy too.
He didn’t pay too much attention and said, “Yun’er, Miaohuan, Zhenzhen, their Spiritual Root Aptitude is average, and it will be very difficult for them to Breakthrough Foundation Establishment in the future.”
“So I thought of having them Cultivate this Cultivation Technique, which would give them hope of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation in the future.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and spoke with some emotion.
When he obtained this ‘Heaven and Earth Longevity Method’, the first thing he thought of was his wives, concubines, and children at Lu.
Although he had Cultivated for so many years, he knew that even with the System, he couldn’t support everyone.
But if he had the ability, he would still follow his initial intention and help as much as possible.
Ling Zixiao was slightly startled upon hearing this.
In the Cultivation World, she had witnessed the coldness of human nature and experienced many schemes and intrigues.
Lu Changsheng was the most peculiar person she had ever met.
He was clearly exceptionally talented and brilliant, with a promising Dao ahead if he focused on Cultivation.
Yet, he was like a Mortal, with many wives and concubines, and a house full of descendants, spending much of his time on his wives, concubines, and children.
She wasn’t unfamiliar with Cultivators like Lu Changsheng who had many wives and concubines.
But most such Cultivators regarded their wives and concubines as tools, playthings, or Cauldrons.
None had ever treated everyone as seriously as Lu Changsheng, full of optimism and human warmth.
But now, Lu Changsheng was even considering his wife’s Spiritual Root Aptitude, thinking of helping his wife achieve Foundation Establishment and Core Formation.
At this moment, she didn’t know how to describe Lu Changsheng.
If you say he’s devoted, he has many wives and concubines.
If you say he’s heartless, he spends much of his time on his wives, concubines, and children.
He even considered the future Foundation Establishment and Core Formation for his wife, who had no hope of Foundation Establishment.
Ling Zixiao’s thoughts churned as she recalled how Lu Changsheng treated her.
Even though she knew that Lu Changsheng becoming her Dao Companion was opportunistic, his genuine sincerity over the past three years had indeed made her willing to reciprocate.
“Lang Jun, who are you planning to let Cultivate this Heaven and Earth Longevity Method first?”
Ling Zixiao looked at Lu Changsheng and asked softly.
She had read this Cultivation Technique and knew that Cultivating it required a heaven and earth spiritual plant.
And currently, Lu Changsheng only had one heaven and earth spiritual plant.
“Yun’er, then.”
“Yun’er is actually a gentle person, but as the main wife of the Lu, she has always worked hard to fulfill her duties.”
“She is diligent in everything because she feels pressure and lacks a sense of security.”
“For so many years, Lu has also been managed by Yun’er, so I thought of giving this Lingming Treasure Tree to Yun’er and letting her Cultivate, so she won’t overthink things.”
Lu Changsheng sighed softly.
Currently, there was only one spiritual plant, so only one person could Cultivate.
It was difficult for him to choose.
But if he had to choose, after much consideration, he decided to give it to Lu Miaoyun.
“With this Lingming Treasure Tree, Miaoyun will have no problem reaching Foundation Establishment by Cultivating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, let alone Core Formation.”
“Moreover, this Heaven and Earth Longevity Method extends lifespan by three hundred years upon Breakthrough Foundation Establishment, and with Lang Jun’s talent, he should achieve Core Formation within a hundred years.”
“At that time, the Spiritual Vein can naturally be upgraded, and this Lingming Treasure Tree can be well cultivated, making Miaoyun’s Core Formation hopeful then.”
Ling Zixiao smiled and nodded.
The Cultivation speed of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method was related to the growth of the spiritual plant.
To make a Tier 3 spiritual plant grow rapidly, it naturally required a Tier 3 Spiritual Vein with abundant Spiritual Qi.
“Hmm, that’s what I thought too.”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Then, he and Ling Zixiao walked out of the Formation, stating that he had set up a Formation in the spiritual field area behind the cliff and that no one from the Family was allowed to approach.
“Yes, Mountain Lord Lu!”
“Yes, Father!”
Everyone respectfully responded upon hearing this.
After leaving Lingcui Cliff, Lu Changsheng went to the Lu Family Mansion, found Lu Miaoyun, and took out a Cultivation Technique Jade Slip, saying, “Yun’er, study this Cultivation Technique well during this time.”
“If you have any questions or don’t understand anything, come and ask me and Zixiao.”
Lu Changsheng handed the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method to Lu Miaoyun and spoke.
“Cultivation Technique?”
Lu Miaoyun was a little surprised to hear this, but she still nodded and replied, “Yes, Husband.”
Then she examined the Jade Slip Cultivation Technique.
After a moment, her face showed surprise, and she said blankly, “Husband, this Cultivation Technique…”
“That’s right, Husband previously obtained a Tier 3 spiritual plant outside, and it’s currently planted behind Lingcui Cliff.”
“After you comprehend this Cultivation Technique, you can go to the back cliff and refine the spiritual plant into your ‘Natal Spiritual Root’. This way, you can achieve Foundation Establishment, and even Core Formation, in the future.”
Lu Changsheng reached out and gently pinched his wife’s fair and beautiful cheek, smiling warmly.
Since Lu Miaoyun and the others had all taken Beauty Pills, their appearances still looked like they were in their late twenties.
“Tier 3 spiritual plant.”
Lu Miaoyun bit her lip lightly and said softly, “Husband, Lu only has one spiritual plant. This Cultivation Technique can be given to Sister Miaohuan, or Zhenzhen, or Xianzhi to Cultivate…”
“I said you Cultivate it, so just obey and Cultivate well.”
“I will naturally make arrangements for Miaohuan and Zhenzhen when the time comes.”
Lu Changsheng spoke, his words carrying a hint of unquestionable authority.
“Okay, I’ll listen to Husband.”
Lu Miaoyun smiled and obediently replied upon hearing this.
“That’s right.”
Lu Changsheng cupped his wife’s face, kissed her, and laughed.
Then, after thinking for a moment, he informed Lu Miaohuan and Qu Zhenzhen about this matter.
After all, in his opinion, it’s not scarcity but inequality that causes trouble.
To prevent his wife from being unhappy after finding out, he felt it was better to explain it proactively.
Lu Miaohuan had no objections upon hearing this. Firstly, she had witnessed everything Lu Miaoyun had done over the years and greatly approved of her younger sister.
Secondly, Cultivating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method meant being unable to stray too far from the spiritual plant, even unable to leave Bihu Mountain.
And she still wanted to go with Lu Changsheng to visit their son in the Jin Yang Sect in Yue Country after the Family stabilized.
As for Qu Zhenzhen, she was purely a slacker, stating that it was only natural for Lu Changsheng to give this Cultivation Technique to Lu Miaoyun.
Among the wives in Lu, she could be said to be the most carefree, not contending or fighting, basically being pampered by everyone.
After clarifying this matter, Lu Changsheng thought of the Xumi Tree King in his System space.
“The Xumi Tree King is a Tier 3 Demon King. To conceal its aura, ordinary Formations probably won’t suffice.”
“Given Zixiao’s current physical condition, it’s best not to set up a grand Formation. I should wait until I have refined the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi and Zixiao’s body has recovered somewhat, and the Formation is properly prepared, before releasing the Xumi Tree King.”
Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment before making up his mind.
Six months later.
Chang Sheng Hall, within the Immortal Cave of seclusion.
“Boom, boom, boom—”
Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, his body rumbling, emitting a surging and terrifying aura.
This aura permeated the entire Immortal Cave, making Lu Changsheng’s body tremble slightly, like a small boat in a vast sea, about to be capsized by giant waves at any moment.
“Clang, clang, clang—”
Spiritual light surged and churned in Lu Changsheng’s chest, causing a hint of pain to appear on his face.
He was in the final step of refining the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi into his Natal Treasure Bone!
As the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi was about to transform into his Natal Treasure Bone, Lu Changsheng’s sternum seemed to be forged by countless Divine Craftsmen, emitting a clanging sound.
At this moment, the Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Cave also surged frantically into his sternum.
Lu Changsheng himself took out Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills, swallowing them to stimulate the refinement of the Natal Treasure Bone.
“Boom!”
After an unknown amount of time, his chest suddenly became scorching hot, shining with brilliant light, and erupting with a terrifying aura fluctuation.
This terrifying aura was sensed by Xiao Xiyue and Ling Zixiao in Chang Sheng Hall, and even many people on Biyun Peak sensed this aura at this moment.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Above Chang Sheng Hall, clouds churned and surged, and even a small Spiritual Qi vortex formed, accompanying the rise and fall of Lu Changsheng’s chest.
“What’s going on with Changsheng?”
“What a terrifying aura!”
Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue both looked at Lu Changsheng’s Immortal Cave of seclusion, wondering what was happening inside.
“What’s going on?”
“A Spiritual Qi vortex, could someone be attempting to Breakthrough Foundation Establishment?”
“When Lady Monarch Miaoge Breakthrough Foundation Establishment before, it was clearly much grander than this.”
“Who in Lu can Breakthrough Foundation Establishment now?”
On Biyun Peak, everyone was confused, wondering why there was suddenly such a big commotion in Lu.
Lu Changsheng was unaware of the commotion he had caused.
At this moment, his chest constantly heaved, and his Natal Treasure Bone gradually took shape, like a brilliant sun, radiating dazzling light.
As the Divine Power of the Natal Treasure Bone surged and churned, streaks of nine-colored divine light flowed through his body, making him clearly feel a profound and mysterious power Awakening.
Above his sternum, dense, profound, and mysterious runes gradually appeared, like heavenly scriptures.
This was a Divine Ability!
A Natal Divine Ability!
Qi Refining Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators could only Cultivate spell arts.
Only Core Formation True Person could begin to comprehend, Cultivate, and master Divine Abilities!
And at this moment, relying on the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique and the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi, Lu Changsheng began to master Divine Abilities during the Foundation Establishment Stage!
And it was nine great Divine Abilities!
