Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 324: The Jin family planned the third advanced lottery! Cut off the spiritual vein
Golden Dragon Ridge.
The Cultivators of the Jin Family were shocked upon hearing the rumors from the outside world, unable to believe the news.
After all, Jin Zan was their Grand Elder Jin, the foremost person beneath their Old Ancestor!
But now, rumors from the outside world claimed that their Grand Elder had been defeated by Lu Changsheng and his Dao Companion from Bihu Mountain.
“How is this possible!”
“Grand Elder’s Cultivation is profound, how could he lose to the Lu Family couple from Bihu Mountain!?”
“It’s rumored that the Lu Family couple from Bihu Mountain Cultivate a dual Cultivation Technique, and their combat power is comparable to a Foundation Establishment Peak, could this not be false!”
“No wonder Grand Elder returned yesterday with a gloomy expression, not saying a word.”
The Jin Family Cultivators discussed animatedly.
Yesterday, Jin Zan suffered a great defeat and returned in disarray, naturally too embarrassed to show his face.
Upon returning to Golden Dragon Ridge, he immediately went back to his Immortal Cave.
This resulted in the Jin Family not learning of the news immediately.
Facing this situation, the Jin Family Head and several Elders immediately went to Jin Zan’s Immortal Cave to inquire about the situation at White Tiger Mountain.
After all, rumors were just rumors.
They still needed to understand the situation from Jin Zan, the person involved.
If it was a rumor, their Jin Family would naturally come forward to clarify!
If it was true, their Jin Family would need to regain their dignity and prestige!
“Indeed, this Old Man was defeated by the Lu Family couple.”
Jin Zan’s face was pale, his aura weak, and he spoke with an unpleasant tone.
“Hiss!”
“Hiss!”
“Hiss!”
Although they knew the news was likely true, the Jin Family and others still couldn’t help but gasp upon hearing it.
“I remember Bihu Mountain was established only a little over ten years ago, so Lu Changsheng and his Dao Companion shouldn’t be very old, right?”
A Jin Family Elder frowned tightly and spoke.
“Mm, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge are both under sixty years old.”
The Jin Family Head said with a solemn expression.
“Hiss!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised.
For Foundation Establishment Cultivators, fifty or sixty years old was considered very young.
For example, their Grand Elder Jin Zan had just celebrated his 120th birthday a few years ago!
Even so, he was still praised as having the potential for Core Formation!
“To be at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage before sixty, if they are allowed to grow, they will most likely Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, or even Foundation Establishment Peak in the future.”
A Jin Family Elder muttered, his eyes filled with apprehension.
Lu Changsheng and his Dao Companion, currently at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, were able to defeat Jin Zan.
If both of them Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, their combat power would be unimaginable.
It’s estimated that even a False Core Immortal Master might not be their match.
He still looked at Jin Zan with some disbelief and quietly asked, “Grand Elder, is the Lu Family couple’s combat power really that terrifying?”
“The Cultivation Technique of the Lu Family couple is very powerful. When they combine their strength, their combat power is indeed not weaker than a Foundation Establishment Peak.”
Even though Jin Zan felt aggrieved and unwilling, he still admitted it.
However, he snorted coldly and continued, “But if that were all, this Elder would not have been defeated by them.”
“Oh?”
The Jin Family Head and others all looked at Jin Zan, wanting to know the specifics.
“Symbol Array!” Jin Zan’s face was gloomy, his eyes sharp, as he uttered two words.
“What truly caused me to suffer a loss was Lu Changsheng’s Symbol Array!”
“This person must have obtained a great Opportunity. His Divine Sense is not weaker than mine, and he has comprehended the art of Symbol Array to a very profound level. With a single thought, he can refine Talismans into a Formation.”
“As long as he has enough Talismans, this Lu Changsheng has combat power not weaker than a Foundation Establishment Peak!”
“This is the most terrifying aspect of their couple. When they combine their strength, they are comparable to a Foundation Establishment Peak. During this time, Lu Changsheng can multitask, and also control the Symbol Array. Only an Old Ancestor can suppress and kill him!”
Recalling the battle yesterday, Jin Zan felt extremely aggrieved.
If his Natal Spiritual Artifact hadn’t been trapped by the Symbol Array, preventing him from exerting his full strength, he was confident he wouldn’t have lost to the two of them.
Even if he couldn’t defeat Lu Changsheng and his Dao Companion, they wouldn’t have been able to defeat him!
Thinking of his Natal Spiritual Artifact, Jin Zan’s face turned grim, and he clenched his fists.
With his Foundation Establishment Ninth Level Cultivation, he still had ten years to Cultivate to Foundation Establishment Peak and prepare for Core Formation matters!
But in this battle, his Natal Spiritual Artifact was damaged, causing him to injure his Origin, requiring several years of recuperation.
Even if he recovered with Heaven And Earth Treasure and Spirit Pills, his Natal Spiritual Artifact being taken away would have a certain impact on his future Core Formation and False Core Breakthroughs.
“Symbol Array Art…”
“This Lu Family couple are both Second-Order Talisman Masters, especially Lu Changsheng. He is a top-tier Second-Order Talisman Master, and no one knows how many Talismans he has hidden.”
“That’s right, although Symbol Arrays are very costly, often requiring hundreds of Talismans, how many people dare to gamble on how many Talismans he has hidden in his hands.”
“It seems that to kill him, we must catch him off guard and use thunderous means to slay him!”
“This child is so terrifying at such a young age, he must not be allowed to live!”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Jin Family looked solemn, finding Lu Changsheng’s situation thorny.
Although they had heard of Lu Changsheng in earlier years, they didn’t have a very clear understanding.
At this moment, through Jin Zan’s narration, they truly realized how formidable Lu Changsheng and his Dao Companion were.
The couple, working together, were comparable to two Foundation Establishment Peak experts!
In this situation, only their Jin Family Old Ancestor, or the entire Family acting together, could suppress and kill him!
But their Jin Family couldn’t do that.
Firstly, the cost would be too great.
If their Jin Family did that, one careless mistake could severely damage their Origin Qi.
And if other Family forces in the vicinity saw their weakness, they would come to take a bite.
Secondly, their Jin Family had no reason to launch a large-scale attack on Bihu Mountain for no reason!
In earlier years, the Qingyun Sect had established a rule.
Family forces under its governance were not allowed to seize and occupy others’ Spiritual Veins without cause.
This was also why, whenever Families acted, they always needed a justifiable reason and to stand on the side of righteousness!
Besides caring about their reputation, it was mainly due to the rules of the Qingyun Sect!
“Grand Elder, should this matter be immediately reported to the Old Ancestor!”
The Jin Family Head looked at the Grand Elder and asked.
Now that such an incident had occurred, their Jin Family had to respond and deal with it.
“The Old Ancestor is in seclusion, so a normal notification is fine, but no urgent notification is needed.”
Jin Zan pondered for a moment before speaking.
The Golden Family Old Ancestor, as a False Core Immortal Master, naturally no longer concerned himself with Family affairs.
Most of his time was spent in seclusion, comprehending Divine Abilities and the hundred arts of Cultivation.
Having committed such a disgraceful act, how could he have the face to ask the Old Ancestor to come out of seclusion.
“However, the Lu Family couple daring to act like this clearly implies they believe our Jin Family won’t attack them.”
Jin Zan’s eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke, “Since that’s the case, our Jin Family will give them a good boost!”
“Grand Elder, what do you mean?”
The Jin Family Head’s eyes narrowed slightly, understanding Jin Zan’s meaning.
But the other party had always been arrogant.
For such a matter, if the other party didn’t take the initiative, even he, as the Family Head, wouldn’t dare to do so.
“Lu Changsheng dares to be so arrogant, not only because of his strength, but also because he knows that many Family forces fear our Jin Family and covet us, so they won’t engage in a major conflict with his Bihu Mountain.”
“He even wants to use his reputation and prestige to seize the Opportunity to ally with other Families, thereby rapidly developing his Family power.”
Jin Zan said coldly, “Since that’s the case, we’ll fulfill his wish!”
“Spread the word that Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, the couple, combined their strength, and their combat power is already comparable to a False Core Old Ancestor! And Lu Changsheng’s Symbol Array, even a False Core Old Ancestor is no match for it!”
“If this Elder hadn’t had life-saving means in that battle, he would have almost died at their hands!”
“Hmph, these Families fear our Jin Family, do they not fear the rise and growth of his Bihu Mountain!?”
Jin Zan’s face was gloomy, his eyes fierce, as he spoke thus.
Having suffered such a great loss, he had completely lost face!
And he couldn’t regain this face in a short time.
Since that was the case, he would elevate Lu Changsheng, so that he himself wouldn’t appear too incompetent.
If someone, or a Family force, learned of this and moved against Bihu Mountain, it would be a win-win for him.
“Yes, Grand Elder.”
The Jin Family Head quickly nodded.
“You also, through your connections, try to spread this news to the ears of the Old Ancestors of the Beast Taming Xu Family.”
Jin Zan continued.
In the Qingyun Territory, although their Golden Dragon Ridge was in the first tier.
They were far from comparable to the Beast Taming Xu Family, that hegemon!
After all, the Beast Taming Xu Family didn’t rise relying on a single generation of Core Formation Old Ancestors.
Instead, they truly had thousands of years of Family Legacy!
Under successive Core Formation Old Ancestors, they not only had two great Dao soldiers, Water Snake and Fire Crow, but it was rumored that there were also Third Grade Town Family Spirit Beasts within the clan, ensuring the continuous Legacy!
The surrounding small Families might prefer Bihu Mountain to rise rather than see their Golden Dragon Ridge prosper!
But the Beast Taming Xu Family was different!
As one of the three great noble families of Jiang Country and the only noble Family in the Qingyun Territory, the Beast Taming Xu Family absolutely did not want too many Families to rise in this area.
The more potential, the more they needed to be stifled in the cradle!
After all, instead of working hard themselves, it was better to suppress others!
“Grand Elder, you can rest assured.”
The Jin Family Head understood what Jin Zan meant and nodded.
At this moment, his face was also full of solemnity.
Because the more Jin Zan acted this way, the more he showed his apprehension and fear towards Lu Changsheng.
This, in turn, made him full of apprehension towards Lu Changsheng and Bihu Mountain.
After all, upon closer inspection, Lu Changsheng’s rise had indeed been legendary, belonging to a person with great Luck and the potential for Core Formation!
Such a person could not be judged by common sense, and his Jin Family absolutely could not take him lightly!
Immediately, the Jin Family Head convened a meeting and began a series of tasks.
They not only spread information about Bihu Mountain, elevating it to their detriment, but also targeted Bihu Mountain and White Tiger Mountain in various ways.
At this moment.
White Tiger Mountain, inside the main hall.
“Fellow Daoist Ning, Fellow Daoist Mo, rest assured, Lu’s actions against White Tiger Mountain this time were entirely because the Zhao Family went too far.”
“Although White Tiger Mountain now belongs to my Bihu Mountain, our cooperation with your two Families remains unchanged, and in the future, our two Families can deepen cooperation and business dealings.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Ning Family Old Ancestor and Mo Family Old Ancestor before him and said with a smile.
The Ning Family of Xishan and the Mo Family of Ironwood Forest both had friendly relations with White Tiger Mountain.
However, during the White Tiger Mountain incident, the two Families rushed to White Tiger Mountain at the first Opportunity to pay their respects, test Lu Changsheng’s attitude, and discuss cooperation.
Facing such a situation, Lu Changsheng naturally adopted a conciliatory policy.
Not only did all cooperation continue as before, but he also ceded a portion of the profits to the two Families.
Facing this situation, both Families brought their direct daughters, hoping to deepen the relationship between the two Families.
Most inter-Family marriages had some effect, but not much.
But the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain was different!
Lu Changsheng, this Lu Family Old Ancestor, not only personally took concubines but was also willing for his concubines to give birth to multiple children!
For Cultivation Families who placed great importance on their Family Bloodline, this kind of behavior showed extreme sincerity!
After all, the children born in the future would also have half of their Family’s Bloodline.
As long as their Family provided more assistance during the child’s growth stage, wouldn’t the child help their Family after growing up?
If the born offspring had extraordinary talent and stood out among Lu Changsheng’s children, it would be an even greater boon for their Family!
Therefore, they considered it unworthy, painful, and reluctant to send their talented direct daughters to other Families for marriage.
But sending them to Old Ancestor Lu was worth it!
After a long conversation, the two Family Old Ancestors left contentedly.
Old Ancestor Lu’s face also showed satisfaction.
The direct daughter sent by the Mo Family Old Ancestor had a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, which showed great sincerity!
Although the direct daughter sent by the Ning Family Old Ancestor only had a 6th Grade Spiritual Root, she was a pair of twins with excellent looks.
For this kind of situation, it was actually quite good.
After all, to be sent to Old Ancestor Lu as a concubine, one not only needed good Spiritual Root talent.
One also needed to be beautiful, well-behaved, sensible, and know how to please others.
This led to very few choices.
Moreover, a Medium Grade Spiritual Root was already considered extraordinary talent for most Foundation Establishment Families.
If a High Grade Spiritual Root appeared in the Family, by the grace of the Ancestral Master, how could they possibly give her to someone else as a concubine?
They would either send her to a Sect or Cultivate her well themselves!
Bihu Mountain.
These days, Bihu Mountain was very lively, with people coming and going.
Many Family forces who were friendly with Bihu Mountain and had intermarriages came to pay their respects and offer congratulations after hearing the news.
After all, Bihu Mountain had made such an astonishing move, and these Families, both emotionally and logically, needed to offer their congratulations.
Of course, besides congratulating, they also had their own objectives.
With Bihu Mountain having taken White Tiger Mountain, there would naturally be many more businesses and affairs.
They came to congratulate and show their faces, also hoping to see if they could secure some business cooperation and thus get a slice of the pie.
In the years since Bihu Mountain was established, Families like the Xu Family of Xiaohantan and the Ji family of Xiao Jing Mountain, who were among the first to pledge allegiance to the Lu Family and intermarry, had gained considerable benefits, allowing their Families to grow stronger.
Now, seeing the Opportunity, these Families naturally came forward one after another.
Besides small Family forces, many Loose Cultivators also came to Bihu Mountain, wanting to pledge allegiance and join Bihu Mountain.
At this moment, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator walked out of Bihu Mountain, his expression somewhat dazed.
“Where did this Mountain Lord Lu’s Dao Companion find? Upon learning that our purpose was to intermarry and marry our granddaughter to Old Ancestor Lu as a concubine, she actually agreed happily and accepted directly.”
“And judging by her expression, it didn’t seem like she was faking it at all.”
This Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor looked bewildered, feeling as if the world was somewhat dreamlike.
After learning about the Bihu Mountain and White Tiger Mountain incident, he knew that Mountain Lord Lu favored beautiful women and had many children.
So he planned to send his granddaughter to Old Ancestor Lu as a concubine, hoping to foster more interaction between the two Families.
However, when he arrived at Bihu Mountain, he learned that Lu Changsheng was still at White Tiger Mountain and hadn’t returned.
He initially thought he would have made a wasted trip.
Unexpectedly, Old Ancestor Lu’s Dao Companion, Ling Zixiao, upon hearing his intention, directly accepted on behalf of her Dao Companion, leaving him utterly baffled.
After all, female Foundation Establishment Cultivators were fewer than male Cultivators.
Female Cultivators who wanted to find a Dao Companion could always find a male Cultivator who was relatively superior to themselves.
And he had heard of this Lu Family Matriarch, Ling Zixiao.
Not only was she a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, but she was also an Array Master!
To be honest, normally when he saw such Cultivators, he would be very polite.
If one could marry such a female Cultivator as a Dao Companion, it would be like having smoke rise from one’s ancestral grave, and one would usually be afraid of displeasing the other party.
But this Mountain Lord Lu still had a group of wives and concubines, and his Dao Companion was not jealous at all, even helping him take in concubines.
It was simply unbelievable!
“Could it be because Old Ancestor Lu is as handsome as an Immortal?”
This Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor recalled seeing Lu Changsheng once at an auction in Hongye Valley years ago.
He had to admit, Old Ancestor Lu’s handsome and ethereal appearance, like a verdant pine and cypress, with the graceful demeanor of an orchid and jade tree, truly resembled a banished Immortal.
Otherwise, his granddaughter wouldn’t have blushed and timidly agreed to become a concubine, saying everything was up to her grandfather.
White Tiger Mountain.
As Lu Changsheng transferred some of his own people from Bihu Mountain, under the arrangements of Lu Quanzhen and Lu Yun, the Jin Family Head’s power was gradually hollowed out, leaving him with only a title.
All the Jin Family Cultivators also made Heart Demon vows and signed Spirit Contracts, officially submitting to the Lu Family.
Even many Jin Family Cultivators who were outside, upon learning of their Family’s situation, received messages but chose not to obey and return to the Family, instead disappearing without a trace.
After all, with such a major incident occurring in White Tiger Mountain, some of them worried that the Lu Family would go back on their word and exterminate them all.
So they chose to abandon their Jin Family identity, live in anonymity, and become Loose Cultivators.
Faced with this situation, even Lu Changsheng had no solution.
This matter was an insoluble problem for most Family forces.
It was too difficult to achieve complete extermination and control everyone.
There would always be some fish that slipped through the net.
However, such escaped fish were harmless.
It was extremely rare for someone to, as recorded in biographical stories, have their Family destroyed, then gain an Opportunity and adventure outside, become a Great Cultivator, and avenge their Family.
Or rather, since entering the Cultivation World and embarking on the path of Cultivation, whether they were Loose Cultivators walking the Grand Dao alone or Cultivators establishing Family forces, they had to be mentally prepared for this!
Artifact Forging Pool.
Lu Changsheng was having several Jin Family Cultivators forge Magical Artifacts for him to intercept Spiritual Veins.
Although the Jin Family no longer had Second-Order Artifact Refiners, they could still forge a few simple Magical Artifact components.
Just then, a System prompt suddenly sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind.
【Congratulations Host, the number of descendants has reached two hundred, you have received one Advanced Lottery draw】
“Indeed!”
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the System prompt, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
He had guessed before that when his descendants reached two hundred, he would very likely receive an Advanced Lottery draw!
Now it seemed his guess was correct, and the ‘contribution fee’ arrived as promised.
“I wonder what I’ll be able to draw this time!”
Lu Changsheng murmured to himself, filled with anticipation.
In his first Advanced Lottery draw, he obtained the nine treasures jade ruyi!
In his second Advanced Lottery draw, he obtained the Xumi Tree King!
Now, for the third draw, he felt that no matter what, it wouldn’t disappoint him.
“If I could draw a Cultivation Technique suitable for me, that would be even better.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
The Cultivation Technique he currently Cultivated, “Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture,” was a top-tier Cultivation Technique.
But through the Beast Control Technique Cultivated by Honglian and Xu Ruyin, he knew that there were even higher-grade Cultivation Techniques than the orthodox level in this world.
If he could Cultivate such a Cultivation Technique, it would significantly help his future Cultivation.
However, such Cultivation Techniques were rare in the world; even Honglian had only heard a little about them and obtained a Beast Control Technique.
Now, the only way he could possibly obtain a Cultivation Technique of this level was through the System.
Lu Changsheng didn’t think much further. Under the respectful and fearful gazes of several Cultivators, he walked out of the Jin Family’s Artifact Forging Pool and came to the top of a mountain Peak, silently chanting in his mind: “System, draw!”
Immediately, the Advanced Lottery wheel appeared, and golden light began to spin.
A moment later, the golden light paused, stopping on the ‘Heaven And Earth Treasure’ reward slot.
【Ding! Congratulations Host, you have obtained the exotic treasure: ten thousand spirit bottle!】
【Reward has been issued to System space, Host can view it at any time】
A small, slender-necked, round bottle pattern, emerald green like jade, emerged from the lottery wheel, accompanied by a System prompt.
“Exotic treasure, ten thousand spirit bottle?”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.
Although it wasn’t the Cultivation Technique he wanted, he still approved of exotic treasures.
After all, the three exotic treasures obtained from previous draws—the demonic fiend curse life book, xuan yuan pearl, and mitian pearl—were all quite good.
Except for the demonic fiend curse life book, the other two had given him considerable help.
Especially the xuan yuan pearl.
Lu Changsheng’s mind stirred slightly, and he looked at the System space.
【ten thousand spirit bottle】
【Grade: Fifth-Order】
【Description: The treasure of Qingmu Valley’s Sect, forged by its first Ancestral Master, Venerable Qingmu, after observing a Profound Heaven Treasure. It is of great help in cultivating Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines.】
“Fifth-Order, of great help in cultivating Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines?”
“Is this Qingmu Valley some kind of Spiritual Planter School, using something like this as their Sect’s treasure?”
Lu Changsheng frowned as he looked at the description of the ten thousand spirit bottle.
He felt that the reward he had received this time was truly somewhat unsatisfactory.
After pondering for a moment, he went to an Immortal Cave and took out the ten thousand spirit bottle from the System space.
Immediately.
A small bottle, palm-sized, entirely emerald green, emitting a faint jade light, with several leaf-shaped patterns imprinted on its surface, appeared in his hand.
It was unclear what material this bottle was made of.
It was like jade yet not jade, like gold yet not gold, like stone yet not stone, like wood yet not wood. Its material was unknown, it felt heavy in the hand, and it exuded an ancient, vibrant aura.
“Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew, one drop condenses per year, one drop grants a hundred years of growth?!”
Lu Changsheng was surprised when he learned the specific effects of this ten thousand spirit bottle.
Just as the System description indicated, this ten thousand spirit bottle was of great help in cultivating Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines!
The small bottle could absorb the essence of Heaven and Earth on its own, condensing a liquid called ‘Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew’ within the bottle.
This ‘Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew’ could be used to Cultivate Spiritual Plants.
For newly planted Spiritual Plants or Spirit Medicines, one drop could make them grow into hundred-year-old Spirit Medicines in a few days.
If it was a hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine, or a very rare and difficult to Cultivate Spiritual Plant or Spirit Medicine, the effect would be slightly less.
But even one drop could make it grow for sixty or seventy years!
If it was a thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine, this effect would be much weaker, only providing thirty to fifty years of growth.
But no matter what, this ten thousand spirit bottle was indeed very helpful for the cultivation of Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines.
It could be said that with this ten thousand spirit bottle, there would be no shortage of hundred-year or thousand-year Spirit Medicines at all!
“This ten thousand spirit bottle is effective on all Spiritual Plants, doesn’t that mean I can use it to Cultivate Sumi, as well as the Lingming Treasure Tree, Auspicious Tree, and Nether Prison Demon Flower?”
“In that case, even if the Family’s spiritual land hasn’t reached the third-order, the Spiritual Plants can grow quickly, thereby allowing Sumi, as well as Yun’er, Zhenzhen, and Miaohuan’s ‘Heaven and Earth Longevity Method’ to progress rapidly?”
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat as he thought of the Xumi Tree King and his three wives at home.
The Xumi Tree King could only maintain its growth now, with almost no improvement in its cultivation.
Although Lu Miaoyun had broken through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer by relying on the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method.
However, due to the limited conditions of the Family’s spiritual land, the Lingming Treasure Tree grew too slowly, and it would take at least several decades for her to break through Foundation Establishment.
But this ten thousand spirit bottle’s ‘Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew’ could make a Spiritual Plant grow for a hundred years in just a few days with one drop!
Even if the effect on ancient Sumi trees and Lingming Treasure Trees, which are third-order Spiritual Plants, was reduced, it could still grow for several decades at least!
“Looking at it this way, this ten thousand spirit bottle is not bad; it can be considered a Sect’s treasure.”
“Moreover, if I obtain any rare Spiritual Plants, I can completely rely on this ten thousand spirit bottle to ripen them, or even mass-produce them.”
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the small green bottle in his hand, musing to himself.
He felt that this ten thousand spirit bottle was indeed a treasure, worthy of his Advanced Lottery draw.
“But not even giving a bottle of Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew at the start, that’s just too inconsiderate!”
Lu Changsheng said somewhat speechlessly after examining the ten thousand spirit bottle.
The condensation of this Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew was very simple.
As long as it was placed outside, it would automatically absorb the essence of Heaven and Earth and condense ‘Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew’.
He didn’t need to do anything at all.
However, the thought of having to wait a year to see the effects made Lu Changsheng a bit uncomfortable.
One month later.
The Magical Artifacts and tools Lu Changsheng needed to intercept the Spiritual Vein Origin were finally ready.
He and Lu Miaoge arrived at the spiritual eye of White Tiger Mountain.
“Miaoge, I have a secret method that can intercept the Spiritual Vein Origin to nourish and upgrade other Spiritual Veins.”
“I plan to intercept a portion of White Tiger Mountain’s Spiritual Vein Origin to Cultivate Bihu Mountain’s Spiritual Vein. You watch outside for me and don’t let anyone disturb me.”
Lu Changsheng said to his wife, Lu Miaoge.
He dared to multitask when it came to Alchemy and Talismans.
But for something like intercepting a Spiritual Vein, he dared not act rashly, so he called Lu Miaoge to protect him.
“Intercepting the Spiritual Vein Origin!?”
Lu Miaoge’s jade-like face froze slightly; it was the first time she had heard of such a shocking method.
She didn’t ask further, immediately nodded and said, “Okay, Changsheng, don’t worry.”
“Source Spirit Eye Technique!”
Lu Changsheng cast the Source Spirit Eye Technique, and two purple lights shot from his eyes, aiming to discern the detailed situation of the Spiritual Vein.
Intercepting a Spiritual Vein wasn’t just about randomly intercepting it; the Spiritual Vein’s location had to be precisely chosen.
After investigating the general situation with the Source Spirit Eye Technique, Lu Changsheng slapped his Storage Pouch, and the True Yang Five Elements Sword appeared.
“Clang—”
Lu Changsheng controlled his Flying Sword, intending to pierce through the ground.
This spiritual eye was conveniently built beneath an Immortal Cave. Although the Immortal Cave’s Formation Restriction had been closed by Lu Changsheng, the ground was still covered with a layer of some unknown metal.
If Lu Changsheng’s cultivation hadn’t been extraordinary, an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator wouldn’t have been able to break through this floor.
“Clang, clang, clang—”
The clanging sounds inside the Immortal Cave were continuous.
It took Lu Changsheng more than half an hour to break through the thick metal foundation layer of the ground.
“Damn it, I’ll have to carry a shovel and hoe Magical Artifact with me in the future, otherwise, this is too troublesome and damages the Flying Sword too much.”
Lu Changsheng let out a long breath, feeling that using a Flying Sword for this kind of task was truly too exhausting.
But he couldn’t very well ask others to do this kind of hard labor.
After some thought, he took out Jin Zan’s Natal Spiritual Artifact from his Storage Ring and used it as a shovel.
At this moment, his quasi-third-order Body Refining showed its use here.
Just like that, Lu Changsheng dug while observing the Spiritual Vein’s condition with his Source Spirit Eye Technique, finally locating the White Tiger Mountain Spiritual Vein.
This Spiritual Vein looked like a gigantic pyramid-like rock layer, radiating and spreading throughout the entire White Tiger Mountain, accompanied by three first-order small Spiritual Veins.
Spiritual Veins could actually be considered a type of Heaven And Earth Treasure.
Over endless years, through various reasons, they gradually formed by gathering the essence of Heaven and Earth, and were called the Spirit of Mountains and Rivers by Dragon Seekers.
The Spirit of Mountains and Rivers was very special; once formed, it would continuously produce Spiritual Qi.
However, its growth was incredibly slow, and it could not be moved even an inch.
During this period, once the terrain of mountains, rivers, and land changed, it would affect the Spirit of Mountains and Rivers, thereby affecting the entire spiritual land.
“Hoo!”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Spiritual Vein in front of him, and after confirming the situation, he sat down to adjust his state.
The matter of intercepting the Spiritual Vein Origin could not be taken lightly.
Once an accident occurred, it could destroy the entire Spiritual Vein!
If he hadn’t gained the second-order full-level Dragon Seeking skill, as if he had already experienced hundreds of battles and was incredibly proficient, he really wouldn’t have dared to try it easily.
“Suppress the Mountains and Rivers!”
A compass appeared in Lu Changsheng’s hand. He formed hand seals and threw out the compass.
The compass then emitted a yellowish-brown glow, enveloping the entire gigantic rock layer.
Then he slapped his Storage Pouch.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
One by one, black long nail Magical Artifacts, under Lu Changsheng’s control, were driven into the Spiritual Vein Origin.
The Spiritual Qi overflowing from White Tiger Mountain immediately slowed down significantly.
Lu Changsheng’s expression was serious, fully concentrated, as he cast Magical Arts towards each black long nail.
After a long while, the pyramid-like gigantic rock layer was enveloped by a layer of yellowish-brown light, making the Spiritual Vein seem to be asleep, with no Spiritual Qi overflowing at all.
“Source Spirit Vein Interception Art!”
Immediately, Lu Changsheng saw the situation, cast out a three-legged round cauldron, which landed on the Spiritual Vein, and continuously formed hand seals with both hands.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”
The Spiritual Vein, like a gigantic rock layer, seemed to tremble at this moment, with Spiritual Qi shaking and overflowing, causing the entire White Tiger Mountain’s earth脉 to tremble as well.
Faced with this situation, Lu Changsheng was also a bit nervous.
However, after the Spiritual Vein trembled for a moment, he saw the three-legged round cauldron enveloped in an ancient glow, merging into the gigantic rock layer.
Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not relax, concentrating fully on the situation before him, occasionally forming seals and casting Magical Arts with his hands.
Just like that, time passed bit by bit.
Several days later.
“Hmph!”
Lu Changsheng let out a soft cry, casting various Magical Arts towards the Spiritual Vein.
The three-legged round cauldron, which had merged into it, slowly reappeared from the Spiritual Vein.
One could see that the originally empty three-legged round cauldron now contained a small rock layer similar to the Spiritual Vein.
“It’s done!”
Joy appeared in Lu Changsheng’s eyes.
“Receive!”
He let out a soft cry, formed hand seals, and slowly put away the three-legged round cauldron.
Then, he repeated the steps, one by one, pulling out the black long nails that had been driven into the Spiritual Vein earlier.
As he acted, the White Tiger Mountain Spiritual Vein began to overflow with Spiritual Qi again.
However, the Spiritual Qi concentration was clearly not as good as before.
Originally, the White Tiger Mountain Spiritual Vein was almost at the point of advancing to High Grade Second-Order, but now even Medium Grade Second-Order was somewhat difficult.
