Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 380: Sheng, the eldest son of the Lu family!
“Greenlake Mountain, Lu Pingan?”
Tao Jizhong and the other two had never heard this name before.
Currently, besides Lu Changsheng, Ling Zixiao, Lu Miaoge, and Lu Miaoyun from Greenlake Mountain, only Lu Yun, Lu Xianzhi, Lu Qingsong, and others are known because they are in charge of family affairs.
Lu Pingan, on the other hand, had always been silent and never done anything to stand out, so not many people knew about him.
Of course, it was also because Lu Changsheng had too many children, making it impossible for people to know them all.
“Alright, since that’s the case, then as you say!”
Tao Jizhong didn’t hesitate much and immediately stepped forward, treading on the void, and shouted at Lu Pingan.
His purpose in coming here was, besides Liu Yan’s matter, to test the situation of White Tiger Mountain.
Lu Pingan’s appearance made him realize that the other party was likely a trump card arranged by Lu Changsheng to guard White Tiger Mountain.
Although he didn’t understand where the other party’s confidence came from to say such things.
But he had confidence in his own strength!
“Big brother, be careful.”
Lu Qingsong didn’t say anything upon hearing his big brother’s words.
The cultivation world has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak, and talking about evidence is a joke.
The other party came here entirely because they saw that White Tiger Mountain had no one to guard it.
If Liu Yan was in Greenlake Mountain, how would the other party dare to be so arrogant and come to demand someone!
The only thing that made him feel uneasy was that his big brother was too lenient, and didn’t make these people pay the price for losing!
He narrowed his eyes, looking at the three people outside with an indifferent expression.
“Yes.”
Lu Pingan smiled and patted his younger brother’s shoulder, as black dragon magic power flowed.
Immediately, a silver armor with beautiful and tough lines, gleaming with a cold luster, appeared on his tall and burly body, adding a bit of dignified and domineering heroic spirit to his whole person.
“Wow!”
Lu Linghe, who was next to him, exclaimed when she saw her big brother’s armor: “Big brother, this looks good!”
But knowing that her big brother was about to fight someone, she clenched her small fist and said in a childish voice: “Big brother, add oil!”
“Okay.”
Lu Pingan rubbed his little sister’s head and said with a gentle smile.
The other cultivators of White Tiger Mountain looked at Lu Pingan with surprise and suspicion.
They didn’t expect that the usually low-key eldest young master was actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“Hidden so deeply”
“Greenlake Mountain actually has a Foundation Establishment grand cultivator!”
“No wonder Old Ancestor Lu was relieved to hand over White Tiger Mountain to Lu Qingsong, a Qi Refinement cultivator, to manage. It turns out that this eldest young master is guarding it.”
“Could it be that the rogue cultivator attack back then was dealt with by the eldest young master…”
The guest elders of White Tiger Mountain, the Ning and Mo families, were horrified when they saw Lu Pingan, who was wearing silver armor, tall and majestic, and imposing.
Now Greenlake Mountain already has five Foundation Establishment grand cultivators: Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, Zhao Qingqing, and Lu Miaoyun.
Now the eldest son of the family has also broken through to Foundation Establishment!
This kind of strength is very amazing.
Even looking at the entire Azure Cloud Region, it cannot be underestimated!
Moreover, this eldest young master only stood up when something happened. Who knows if Greenlake Mountain has any hidden strength!
“Fellow Daoist, please.”
Lu Pingan walked out of White Tiger Mountain, stood in the air, and looked at Tao Jizhong, his spine as straight as a mountain.
“Roar!”
At this time, the Nine Nether Mastiff looked at the three people outside, its huge body filled with a fierce aura, roared, and came to Lu Pingan’s side, its snow-white teeth flashing with a森寒 luster.
Currently, Lu Pingan has the best relationship with the Nine Nether Mastiff in the entire Lu family.
The man and the beast grew up together, from Green Bamboo Mountain to Ruyi County, and then to Greenlake Mountain and White Tiger Mountain, often practicing against each other on weekdays.
So seeing Lu Pingan fighting one against three, the Nine Nether Mastiff took the initiative to protect its master.
“Is this your confidence?”
Tao Jizhong glanced at the hideous and terrifying Nine Nether Mastiff, his face slightly condensed, thinking that the other party was going to attack with one person and one beast at the same time.
Over the years, the Nine Nether Mastiff has been guarding White Tiger Mountain and has a lot of fame.
Everyone knows that this spirit beast is not weaker than a general Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator.
“You and I will fight, Little Black will not participate.”
Lu Pingan shook his head gently and signaled the Nine Nether Mastiff to retreat.
“Okay.”
Tao Jizhong narrowed his eyes, said nothing more, sacrificed a purple-red flying knife, and killed Lu Pingan with a fierce momentum, testing his strength.
He wanted to see where Lu Pingan, a mere Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivator, got the confidence to challenge him!
“Clang!”
Lu Pingan stretched out his right arm, clenched his five fingers, and a dark black dragon halberd appeared in his hand, slashing forward.
The aura as heavy as a mountain made the void seem to collapse, directly splitting the purple-red flying knife away.
“Body Refinement cultivator!”
Tao Jizhong immediately understood where Lu Pingan’s confidence came from.
Although he only has the cultivation of the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he is very good at body refinement.
Moreover, the black halberd in his hand is not simple, it is not an ordinary spiritual weapon!
“No wonder you dare to invite this old man to fight, you really have some strength, in that case, this old man will not be polite!”
Tao Jizhong let out a long howl, and five identical flying knives appeared in front of him, cutting through the air and killing Lu Pingan from different directions.
The black dragon halberd in Lu Pingan’s hand was as black as ink, forming a clear contrast with his silver armor.
As the halberd in his hand waved, the majestic and domineering offensive, like a mountain and a mountain, set off his strong and majestic body to be extremely terrifying.
“Clang clang clang!”
The black dragon halberd seemed to be a roaring dragon, filled with terrifying fluctuations like a vast ocean, and all the six flying knives that came to kill were knocked away.
“This!”
Tao Jizhong’s face was slightly condensed, he did not expect Lu Pingan’s body refinement strength to be so amazing, easily resolving his offensive.
The two Foundation Establishment cultivators who accompanied him were also surprised when they saw this scene.
Others don’t know Tao Jizhong’s strength, but they know it clearly.
He has been immersed in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment for a long time, and six purple yin flying knives have been stained with the blood of many Foundation Establishment cultivators.
But now, he can’t easily take down this junior in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
“Big brother, why bother being polite with him with this strength, just kill him, why is it like trying to convince people with reason.”
Lu Qingsong muttered to himself, looking at the back of his big brother.
Although he had seen Lu Pingan shoot and kill Foundation Establishment with an arrow before, and knew that his big brother’s strength was not weaker than the other party.
But seeing his big brother as a body refinement cultivator, not seizing the opportunity, but letting the other party make the first move, he secretly shook his head.
Just then, Lu Pingan took the initiative to attack.
He held the black dragon halberd and stabbed forward, the dark black blade cutting through the void, making people shudder.
“Clang clang clang——”
Tao Jizhong quickly pinched the magic formula with both hands, so that the six flying knives formed a mysterious formation to kill Lu Pingan, resisting the opponent’s offensive.
And a bronze mirror appeared in his hand, with purple electric arcs surging inside, shining towards Lu Pingan.
Faced with this offensive, Lu Pingan was not afraid at all, the silver armor was flowing with luster, he kept waving the black dragon halberd in his hand, stepped on the void, and strode forward.
“Dong dong dong——”
Every time he waved the halberd, the silver war boots landed, and the void seemed to have a muffled thunder-like dull sound.
It was as if he was not stepping into the void, but stepping on a drum, making people tremble with fear.
“Damn it!”
Tao Jizhong looked at Lu Pingan who was constantly approaching, his face was a little ugly, knowing that he had encountered a tough stubble today.
“Purple Lightning Yin Fire Knife!”
Immediately, he let out a long howl, pinched the magic formula with both hands, and the six purple-red flying knives in front of him turned into a huge purple-red long knife.
“Chila!”
A layer of awe-inspiring dark red flame was filled on the long knife, purple electric arcs jumped, and killed Lu Pingan.
“Wind and Thunder, Slash!”
Lu Pingan looked at this blow, and strands of wind and thunder were entangled in the black dragon halberd in his hand, filled with a terrifying aura.
Then the halberd was like a dragon recovering and slashing forward, with wind and thunder surging.
“Boom boom boom!”
The halberd collided with the long knife, and a series of sparks splashed, lightning arcs swam, bright and dazzling, making everyone in the field feel a strong current, creepy.
Immediately afterwards, the Purple Lightning Yin Fire Knife trembled, the electric arc flame on the blade dimmed and dissipated, and re-scattered into six purple-red flying knives, flying backwards.
“Boom!”
Tao Jizhong faced the aftermath of the black dragon halberd, and immediately drove the bronze mirror to block it.
But it was difficult to resist in a hurry, and the whole person was blown away, spitting blood.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator next to him quickly rose into the sky, caught Tao Jizhong with mana, and said to Lu Pingan with a jealous expression: “Fellow Daoist, we admit defeat, we will leave now!”
“Fellow Daoist, do you want to fight again?”
Lu Pingan looked at Tao Jizhong and said.
“Fellow Daoist has extraordinary strength, this old man admits defeat, this matter will be over as Fellow Daoist said.”
Tao Jizhong said with a pale and weak face.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has been famous for a long time, losing so easily to a junior in the early stage of Foundation Establishment made him feel ashamed.
However, after a simple fight just now, he also saw Lu Pingan’s strength.
The body refinement strength and two exquisite spiritual weapons can be said to be tyrannical and domineering on the front, impeccable.
Unless he didn’t confront the opponent head-on from the beginning, and kept consuming and fighting, he would have a chance to win.
But he is a cultivator at the peak of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and it is embarrassing to fight a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, even if he wins.
“But it is enough to test out such a piece of news.”
Tao Jizhong comforted himself in his heart.
“Thank you for your concession.”
Lu Pingan heard the words, put away the black dragon halberd, and clasped his fists.
“Hiss, won like this!”
“It turns out that the eldest young master’s strength is so amazing!”
“Greenlake Mountain, Lu Pingan”
“Fortunately, I didn’t dare to have any disloyalty these years…”
The cultivators of White Tiger Mountain were shocked when they saw this scene, and looked at Lu Pingan in disbelief.
Especially the cultivators of the Zhao family in White Tiger Mountain in the early years, and the Ning and Mo families.
I didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to hide so deeply.
He actually arranged such a son to guard White Tiger Mountain.
If any of them had bad intentions and wanted to attack White Tiger Mountain, I’m afraid they would all suffer a big fall.
“Seventh brother, you watch.”
At this moment, Lu Qingsong saw the situation outside, and immediately handed the array plate to Lu Xianzhi, holding the Vermilion Bird Ring Talisman Treasure in his hand, and flew out of White Tiger Mountain.
He looked at Tao Jizhong and the other two who were about to leave, and said indifferently: “Elder Tao is going to leave like this?”
“Huh?”
Everyone looked at Lu Qingsong, not knowing what he was going to do.
Even Lu Pingan looked at his younger brother with some doubts.
“Big brother, let them go so easily, if it spreads out, others will think that our White Tiger Mountain is easy to bully.”
“And Auntie has ordered that if the Jin family and the Dragonlight Chamber of Commerce come, there is no need to be polite.”
Lu Qingsong immediately explained to his big brother through voice transmission.
He knew that his big brother was kind, and stopping here was also to avoid making things bigger.
But now the advantage is on his side, how could he let the three of them leave so easily!
“Sect Leader Lu, what else is there?”
Tao Jizhong looked at Lu Qingsong and said in a deep voice.
“Since the matter of Liu Yan has been abandoned, you three came to my White Tiger Mountain to make a big fuss, you should give an explanation, right?”
“Otherwise, if this matter spreads out, others will think that my White Tiger Mountain can come and go as they please.”
Although Lu Qingsong was only a Qi Refinement cultivator, he was not afraid of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
With my elder brother here, along with the Nine Nether Mastiff, the family formation, and my own life-saving talismans and talisman treasures, I don’t believe these three can do anything to me.
These words not only surprised Tao Jizhong and the other two.
Even the people from White Tiger Mountain exchanged glances.
They didn’t expect their mountain lord to be so domineering.
A Qi Refining cultivator demanding an explanation from three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
“Xuan Yu, Xiao Xiao!”
Seeing this, Lu Xianzhi immediately activated the mountain protection formation, ordering his son and the family’s guard to prepare.
Besides Lu Ping’an, who was in charge, Lu Xianzhi also had two Tier 2 puppets and a guard team.
Each member of this guard team was equipped with a Tier 1 peak puppet, making their combat power not to be underestimated!
“Explanation? I wonder what Mountain Lord Lu wants an explanation for?”
Tao Jizhong was immediately enraged, his face gloomy as he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
If Lu Ping’an had said these words to him, he wouldn’t have been so angry.
But a mere Qi Refining cultivator dared to speak to him like this!
“Sever one arm, and this matter will be considered settled.”
Lu Qingsong said with a cold expression.
“You’re courting death!”
Tao Jizhong immediately flew into a rage, his Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure surging, about to attack Lu Qingsong.
Not only him, but the two Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him also had their Foundation Establishment mana surging.
“Hmph!”
Lu Ping’an snorted coldly, his tall and sturdy figure holding the Black Dragon Halberd and wearing silver armor stood in front of his younger brother, looking at the three.
Although he didn’t want things to escalate.
In this situation, it was impossible for him to just stand by and watch.
“Boom!”
The White Tiger Mountain formation surged, like a fierce tiger coiled, overlooking the three.
“What, you want to make a move? This is my White Tiger Mountain territory!”
“Since you dare to cause trouble at my White Tiger Mountain, you must be prepared for the consequences!”
“If you don’t give my White Tiger Mountain an explanation today, I will definitely report this matter to my father afterward and demand an explanation from your Dragonlight Merchant Association!”
“At that time, it won’t be as simple as severing an arm!”
Lu Qingsong poured spiritual power into the Vermilion Bird Ring talisman treasure in his hand, releasing the talisman treasure’s power and aura, and said coldly.
“Roar!”
The Nine Nether Mastiff in the distance also looked at the three, its fangs coldly menacing, letting out a low growl that was frightening.
Hearing these words and seeing the situation before them, the three’s expressions were extremely ugly.
They didn’t expect such a small matter today to put them in such a passive position.
If it weren’t for Lu Ping’an, Lu Qingsong, a small Qi Refining cultivator, would have dared to speak to them like this; he would have slapped him directly.
But the current situation really put them in a dilemma.
“These spirit stones will be considered compensation for this matter.”
In the end, one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators took a deep breath, took out a storage bag, and threw it to Lu Qingsong.
“Not enough!”
Lu Qingsong took the storage bag, not even looking at it, and said directly.
“In the past, there were rogue Foundation Establishment cultivators who came to cause trouble at my White Tiger Mountain, and in the end, their corpses were exposed for three months!”
“Today, letting you sever one arm is already giving face to the Dragonlight Merchant Association!”
“Although my brothers and I can’t keep all three of you here, we can still manage to keep one or two.”
The Vermilion Bird Ring talisman treasure in Lu Qingsong’s hand had already been activated to the extreme, ready to be unleashed at any time.
For a moment, the three froze.
“Good, good, good, Lu Changsheng is truly blessed with successors, today this old man admits defeat!”
Tao Jizhong looked at Lu Ping’an and Lu Qingsong in front of him and said coldly.
A flying knife directly appeared, cutting off one of his arms, blood splattering, his face pale, and his aura weak and sluggish.
“Hmph, get lost.”
Lu Qingsong snorted coldly when he saw this scene.
If he wasn’t unsure and worried about going too far, he would have even wanted to keep the three at White Tiger Mountain.
The three didn’t say much, controlling the spirit boat to quickly leave the White Tiger Mountain territory.
Now that Tao Jizhong had severed one arm, if he spent a great price, there was still a way to reattach it, so he had to hurry back.
“Elder brother, thank you for your trouble.”
Lu Qingsong let out a long breath and said to Lu Ping’an.
He would be lying if he said he wasn’t nervous in that situation.
“It’s nothing.”
Lu Ping’an shook his head and said, “You still need to be more careful when facing such Foundation Establishment cultivators usually; don’t appear in front of them like that.”
Although Lu Qingsong had a talisman treasure.
If the other party used some killing moves, Lu Qingsong might not even be able to use the talisman treasure.
“Hehe, I only dared to do that because I saw you were here, elder brother.”
Lu Qingsong chuckled and said frankly.
Immediately, the two people and one beast returned to White Tiger Mountain.
At this moment, all the cultivators in the field looked at Lu Ping’an and Lu Qingsong, and their eyes were filled with a few more traces of awe.
Especially when facing Lu Ping’an, this Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“Brother Song…”
Liu Yan looked at Lu Qingsong with some shame, knowing that today’s events were caused by her.
“It’s nothing.”
Lu Qingsong said softly.
“Big brother, I want to practice this too!”
Lu Linghe ran to her elder brother’s side, looking at the Black Dragon Halberd, which was even taller than her, with great envy.
“Okay, when you’ve practiced your boxing well, elder brother will teach you.”
Lu Ping’an responded with a smile.
Compared to halberd techniques, he preferred to use his fists.
It was just that his father, Lu Changsheng, had created a whole set of spiritual weapons for him, indicating that he should usually use this halberd and golden bow.
He didn’t stay here for long, taking his younger sister Lu Linghe back to the back mountain to continue teaching her boxing.
Soon after, the news of White Tiger Mountain spread out.
The surrounding family forces were shocked, and countless people knew about Jade Lake Mountain, Lu Family’s eldest son, Lu Ping’an!
“Foundation Establishment Initial Stage defeating Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, how is this possible!”
“This Lu Ping’an also cultivates body refinement, and also has the magical artifacts given by his father Lu Changsheng, his combat power is extremely astonishing!”
“Tao Jizhong, I’ve heard of this person, known as ‘Purple Luo Blade’, a veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator, actually lost to a junior and was forced to sever one arm!”
“Hiss, back then, the Jade Lake Mountain Lord Lu Changsheng broke through to Foundation Establishment not long ago and killed three Yu Family Foundation Establishment cultivators alone, establishing Jade Lake Mountain; today, his son actually defeated a veteran Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage!”
“The rise of this Jade Lake Mountain Lu Family is likely to be unstoppable!”
“It was rumored that White Tiger Mountain didn’t have a Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge; I didn’t expect them to be hiding so deeply!”
“It seems that Gold Dragon Ridge, which is adjacent to White Tiger Mountain, won’t be able to sit still!”
Countless cultivators discussed this news.
Gold Dragon Ridge, Jin Family.
“Lu Family’s eldest son, Lu Ping’an, Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, Tier 2 Body Refinement Middle Stage…”
The Jin Family Head looked at the news before him, his face extremely solemn.
He didn’t expect that his family’s small test would actually yield such shocking information.
“Body refinement not only consumes resources, but also consumes a lot of time and energy; did this Lu Ping’an grow to this level because of chance encounters or innate talent?”
The Jin Family Head muttered to himself.
If it was just an ordinary rogue cultivator, he wouldn’t be so surprised; he would just assume the other party had chance encounters.
But this person was Lu Changsheng’s son, making him unable to help but think more.
Because a few years ago, he learned a piece of news.
Lu Qingshan of the Golden Sun Sect asked for a sword at the Heavenly Sword Sect, overwhelming his peers and being invincible!
“Before there was Lu Qingshan, and now there’s Lu Ping’an; what dog shit luck did this Lu Changsheng have? Did his ancestral grave emit golden light or something!”
The Jin Family Head took a deep breath, a few traces of envy appearing in his eyes.
Immediately, he sent a message to convene a family meeting to discuss how to view and respond to this matter.
Green Bamboo Mountain, Lu Family.
“Lu Family’s eldest son, Lu Ping’an, defeated Purple Luo Blade Tao Jizhong head-on, and together with Lu Qingsong, forced him to sever one arm!”
Lu Yuanding, Lu Muping, and others were all extremely surprised when they heard this news.
They didn’t expect that among Lu Changsheng’s children, someone else had broken through to Foundation Establishment.
Especially Lu Yuanding.
He still remembered when Lu Changsheng’s first son was born, and he, as the family head, gave him an award.
And now, this child had actually become a high and mighty Foundation Establishment cultivator, making him feel quite emotional.
“Lu Qingshan, Lu Ping’an… Lu Changsheng’s luck is too good, right…”
Some of the Lu Family’s high-level members who knew about Lu Qingshan felt emotional about Lu Changsheng’s good luck.
After all, if a family could produce a Foundation Establishment seedling, it would be considered that the ancestral grave emitted golden light.
And Lu Changsheng not only produced such a stunning son as Lu Qingshan, but now he had another Lu Ping’an.
Similar emotions were not only felt at Green Bamboo Mountain.
Families and forces such as Hundred Bird Lake, Centipede Ridge, Ironwood Mountain Mo Family, Creek Mountain Ning Family, and so on were all full of emotion.
Because a family can’t rely entirely on the older generation!
It needs a constant stream of fresh blood, the rise of the younger generation, to grow rapidly.
Now, Jade Lake Mountain’s reputation and power can be said to be entirely maintained by Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge.
Now, Lu Ping’an’s appearance also tells everyone that Jade Lake Mountain has successors, and the second generation of the Lu Family is showing its talent.
But thinking that Lu Changsheng was now less than seventy years old, many people felt extremely apprehensive.
Not only other families.
After the news of White Tiger Mountain spread to Jade Lake Mountain, many Lu Family disciples were also surprised and shocked when they heard this news.
They wouldn’t be so surprised if people like Lu Qingshan and Lu Quanzhen broke through to Foundation Establishment.
But Lu Ping’an was usually too low-key.
Suddenly becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator and with such astonishing combat power made them feel emotional, envious, and full of energy!
And the Lu Family’s concubines envied Lu Lanshu, hoping that their children could be like Lu Ping’an, breaking through to Foundation Establishment one day and becoming famous throughout the world.
“Well done!”
Lu Miaohuan smiled when she heard that her son and Lu Ping’an had forced a Foundation Establishment cultivator to sever one arm.
After all, threatening a Foundation Establishment cultivator during the Qi Refining stage was something one could brag about for a lifetime.
“Yun’er, send a copy of your brother Ping’an’s information to Ruyi County, tell your Aunt Lanshu to pick her up and bring her to Jade Lake Mountain, and then let Xingyang prepare for the Foundation Establishment ceremony.”
“After your father comes out of seclusion, we will determine the time and hold a ceremony for your elder brother.”
After Lu Miaoyun heard this news, she instructed her son Lu Yun.
Back then, she had asked Lu Changsheng about Lu Ping’an’s Foundation Establishment ceremony.
It was just that Lu Changsheng said to wait a few years, or wait until the news of Lu Ping’an’s Foundation Establishment was known.
Now in this situation, the Foundation Establishment ceremony could naturally be arranged.
Moreover, after this matter fermented, it would definitely cause other family forces to be apprehensive.
It just so happened that they could use the ceremony to invite other family forces to gather and express their position and attitude that they still valued harmony and that harmony brought wealth.
“Yes, Mother.”
Lu Yun nodded in response.
Even he felt emotional and envious when he heard this news.
“I wonder if I will be able to break through to Foundation Establishment in my lifetime…”
Lu Yun thought of his own situation; if he cultivated with all his strength, he had hope of attacking Foundation Establishment once before the age of sixty.
But with his Grade 7 spiritual root, even if he had a Foundation Establishment Pill, the probability of breaking through to Foundation Establishment was only 20 to 30 percent.
