Chapter 392: Zhoutian Xingdou Sword Embryo, Tianxiang Gu!

A golden Spirit Boat carried a man and a woman.

The man appeared to be in his twenties, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, possessing an imposing aura. He wore a white-gold Magical Robe, exuding an extraordinary demeanor.

The woman, eighteen or nineteen years old, had a delicate and sweet appearance, pure and ethereal. Her tall and slender figure was draped in a beautiful rainbow feather garment, and her lovely eyes were filled with anticipation.

“Xiao Zhu’er, there’s still a month’s journey, don’t rush.”

Lu Qingshan found it amusing to see his sister, Meng Xiaochun, so eager and anxious to return home right after disembarking from the spirit ship at Qingyun Town.

Although he also missed home a bit.

But a man travels the four directions, anywhere can be home; he wasn’t as impatient as his sister.

“Mm.”

Lu Qingzhu softly responded, sitting down on the Spirit Boat, and quietly said, “Brother, do you think Qingqi and Qingxuan will like the gifts we prepared?”

“And the remaining Foundation Establishment spiritual materials from before, should Qingsong be able to use them?”

This time, as an elder sister, she had prepared many gifts for her parents, younger brother, and younger sister at Lu.

“They’ll definitely like them, Xiao Zhu’er. You put so much thought into it, they’d better like them for my sake.”

Lu Qingshan habitually ruffled his sister’s hair, saying casually, “As for Qingsong, if four Foundation Establishment Pills still can’t help him Foundation Establishment, he might as well find a block of tofu and bash his head in.”

His sister, Lu Qingzhu, only used three Foundation Establishment Pills to Breakthrough Foundation Establishment.

If his younger brother, Lu Qingsong, couldn’t Breakthrough Foundation Establishment with these four remaining Foundation Establishment Pills, Lu Qingshan wouldn’t have the face to acknowledge him as a younger brother.

It would be too embarrassing!

“Brother!”

Lu Qingzhu was already used to her brother’s nonsensical talk and rolled her eyes at him.

Just then, the jade pendant at her waist suddenly glowed with a warm light.

“Hm?”

Lu Qingzhu was startled, then looked at her brother and said, “Brother, it seems like a Lu sibling is nearby.”

“Oh?”

Lu Qingshan’s sword-like eyebrows raised upon hearing this, and he smiled, nodding at his sister’s gaze, saying, “Since that’s the case, let’s go take a look.”

Within a lush jungle, ancient trees soared into the sky, verdant and incredibly dense.

Lu Ruyi rapidly shuttled through the air, controlling her Flying Leaf Magical Artifact.

Years ago, due to the incident at White Tiger Mountain, she was stimulated and chose to venture out for experience.

Eighteen years passed, and her Cultivation went from the original Qi Refining Sixth Layer to Qi Refining stage eight.

Moreover, a few days ago, she obtained an Opportunity in an ancient Immortal Cave, Breakthrough Qi Refining Ninth Layer, and was preparing to return Lu to Cultivate peacefully, aiming to Breakthrough Foundation Establishment before sixty years of age.

But for some unknown reason, she was targeted not long after leaving the Immortal Cave.

Since her Substitute Talisman had already been used, and her only Tier 2 Talisman was also used in the Immortal Cave.

This resulted in her only being able to flee when facing the pursuit of five Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators.

“At this rate, I won’t be able to shake them off at all.”

Lu Ruyi looked behind her, her cold and stern face looking rather grim.

She had been outside for so many years, and it was with great difficulty that she had seized an Opportunity and saw the hope of Foundation Establishment.

Yet, she was about to die out here like this, feeling extremely unwilling.

Just then, she saw her identity token glowing with a warm luster, emitting an invisible Qi, indicating that a sibling was responding to her.

She had activated the token earlier, simply as a last resort.

After all, there weren’t many of her Lu siblings who had ventured out.

And the Jiang Country Cultivation World was so vast, how could they possibly coincidentally meet?

“I wonder which sibling it is…”

Lu Ruyi mused inwardly.

The Cultivation of the siblings who had ventured out for experience was all quite good, at least Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

And they all possessed Talismans given by their father, enough to deter Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

Five figures gradually closed in on Lu Ruyi.

“Gentlemen, we have no grievances or enmities, could you please spare this humble girl’s life?”

Lu Ruyi looked at these figures, holding her Luo Umbrella Magical Artifact, and spoke loudly.

“Let you go? Of course, provided you hand over the Opportunity from the Immortal Cave.”

One of the figures said directly.

“Immortal Cave Opportunity? Gentlemen, could you be mistaken? I am merely an ordinary Cultivator, how could I possibly have such an Opportunity?”

Lu Ruyi still didn’t understand why she had been noticed.

Everyone who had explored the Immortal Cave with her had died within it; logically, no one should have known.

“Hmph, if that’s the case, then you shall die!”

A Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivator conjured a Flying Dagger and attacked Lu Ruyi.

“Clang!”

Lu Ruyi opened her Luo Umbrella, which radiated a colorful light, resisting the attack, but the Flying Leaf Magical Artifact beneath her feet suddenly became unstable, nearly causing her to fall.

Facing such a pursuit, she could only parry while fleeing.

As for handing over the Opportunity, she knew in her heart that if she stopped, she would surely die.

Just then, a golden Spirit Boat sailed towards them.

A man and a woman stood on the Spirit Boat. The man looked at the situation below, and with a flick of his finger, a golden Sword Qi several feet long appeared.

The Sword Qi pierced through the air, incredibly sharp, and in a flash, blood holes appeared simultaneously on the foreheads of the five Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators. With a ’thud’, they fell to the ground.

“Ah?”

Lu Ruyi stared at the scene before her, completely stunned and bewildered.

What was going on?

She looked up at the man and woman on the Spirit Boat, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Weren’t the ones who came her own siblings?

But when did her Lu Family have such powerful younger brothers and sisters?

And she had never seen them before.

However, this woman did bear a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to Aunt Miaoge.

“This humble one, Lu Ruyi of Bihu Mountain, greets the two of you.”

Lu Ruyi cupped her hands and bowed, somewhat nervously introducing herself.

“Sister Ruyi? I’m Qingzhu, Lu Qingzhu.”

Lu Qingzhu, with her robes fluttering, descended from the Spirit Boat and said with some joy.

She had some impression of Lu Ruyi.

It was just that they hadn’t seen each other for decades, and both had changed a lot, so she hadn’t recognized her.

“Qingzhu, you’re Sister Qingzhu!?”

Lu Ruyi looked at the Foundation Establishment Senior before her with some surprise, not expecting it to be Lu Qingzhu, Aunt Miaoge’s daughter.

She had a considerable impression of Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu.

She knew that they had been taken as Disciples by a powerful person in their early years and had not been at Lu.

She immediately guessed Lu Qingshan’s identity through his facial features and eyebrows.

Her heart couldn’t help but be shocked and envious.

“Lu Qingshan.”

Lu Qingshan descended from the Spirit Boat, looked at Lu Ruyi before him, and said calmly, stating his identity.

His father had far too many children.

Aside from his sister Lu Qingzhu and younger brother Lu Qingsong, he didn’t feel much for his other siblings.

Someone like Lu Ruyi, for instance, felt somewhat unfamiliar.

“Qingshan, Qingzhu, thank you.”

Lu Ruyi didn’t mind Lu Qingshan’s attitude and expressed her gratitude.

Then she briefly explained her situation and why she was being attacked.

“Since Sister Ruyi is going home, let’s go back together. My brother and I are also going home.”

Lu Qingzhu said in a gentle and soft voice.

“Okay.”

Lu Ruyi nodded.

“Buzz buzz buzz—”

Just then, Lu Ruyi frowned slightly, and an ancient, dark, seemingly withered wooden long box appeared in her hand.

This was one of the treasures she obtained in the Immortal Cave. She didn’t know its material and couldn’t open it, so she planned to ask her father to examine it after returning Lu.

But at this moment, the long box inexplicably began to stir, wanting to get close to Lu Qingshan.

“Qingshan, this is a box I obtained from an Immortal Cave before. It never showed any activity, but now it seems to have some affinity for you…”

Lu Ruyi said with a somewhat strange expression.

This situation was very rare.

If a treasure had sentience, it would at least have to be a legendary Spirit Treasure.

But if this box was a Spirit Treasure, wouldn’t that be too astonishing?

“Oh?”

Lu Qingshan’s sword-like eyebrows raised upon hearing this. He took the wooden box from Lu Ruyi’s hand and immediately felt waves of closeness and yearning from it.

He tried to infuse his Sword Origin into the wooden box.

The surface of the long box, which had been like withered wood, immediately flowed with brilliant light, and the entire long box ‘cracked’ open, then vanished into thin air.

Inside, a Sword Embryo lay quietly.

This Sword Embryo was only three feet long, like a blunt weapon, still unsharpened, very unremarkable, and quietly floated in front of Lu Qingshan.

“This is… a divine object concealing itself, choosing its master on its own!”

Lu Qingzhu said with some surprise upon seeing this.

Lu Ruyi, standing nearby, looked bewildered upon hearing this.

What was going on?

Was the most precious thing she obtained in the Immortal Cave actually this Sword Embryo?

But she had obtained a supreme treasure yet didn’t recognize it.

“Good eye.”

Lu Qingshan looked at the Sword Embryo before him, chuckled softly, reached out to grasp the Sword Embryo, and said, “Let’s see if you’re worthy of being my sword!”

“Buzz!”

Instantly, the Sword Embryo was held in Lu Qingshan’s hand, and after injecting Sword Qi and magical power, it erupted with vast and brilliant starlight.

He swung the sword forward.

The ancient and unadorned Sword Embryo seemed to stir up a meteor shower, its starlight brilliant and vast, causing the area ahead to explode, creating ravines of Sword Qi.

“Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword, Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword Art.”

Lu Qingshan held this sword, sensing a piece of information and a Sword Art from it.

He learned that this sword was named Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword, and it had originally developed sentience, being a Tier 4 Flying Sword.

But because its owner had fallen, and it lacked magical power for nourishment, it had fallen from a Tier 4 Flying Sword to its current Tier 3 Sword Embryo, with its sentience almost extinguished.

This last wisp of sentience sensed Lu Qingshan’s Sword Intent, and thus automatically recognized him as its master.

As for this Sword Art, it was the Cultivation Technique Legacy of the original sword master, named “Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword Art.”

“Sword Soaring to the Dipper, Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword Art, it sounds quite fitting…”

Lu Qingshan’s lips curled upwards, secretly sighing that he was indeed a Child of Luck.

Previously, his father had found a sword seed but couldn’t use it, so he gave it to him.

Now, this convenient elder sister found a Sword Embryo and also couldn’t use it, so it directly recognized him as its master.

“Sister Ruyi, this sword is fated with me and has already recognized me as its master. What do you need? I can give you compensation.”

Lu Qingshan spoke, and the Sword Embryo in his hand transformed into a ray of starlight, entering his body.

It traveled along his Meridians into his Qi Sea and Dantian, enjoying the nourishment of his magical power.

Although this Sword Embryo had degraded in quality.

As long as it was properly nurtured, advancing in the future would be much simpler.

Moreover, in Lu Qingshan’s opinion, degrading into a Sword Embryo was also a good thing.

During this nurturing process, he could Cultivate it into the form he desired.

“Since this sword is fated with you, Qingshan, then it’s yours. Consider it as repayment for your life-saving grace just now.”

Lu Ruyi shook her head and said.

She had previously read about treasures choosing their masters in storybooks.

But seeing it truly happen before her, her heart still felt a bit bitter.

After all, anyone with eyes could see that such an Opportunity was extraordinary!

However, thinking that the chosen person was her own younger brother, she felt slightly more at ease.

If it had been seized by some rogue Cultivator or villain, and then such a treasure-choosing-master situation occurred, she would probably have died of indignation.

“Sister Ruyi is preparing to go home and prepare for Foundation Establishment this time. I have Foundation Establishment Pills, Foundation Establishment spiritual materials, and Medicinal Pills for Cultivation here.”

Seeing this, Lu Qingzhu immediately took out various treasures and Medicinal Pills from her Storage Pouch and handed them to Lu Ruyi.

Her brother usually spoke frankly and didn’t like owing favors.

Although they were siblings, she still tried her best to compensate the other party.

Lest her brother worry about it, wanting to repay the favor but not knowing how to speak.

“This isn’t necessary, is it?”

Lu Ruyi was tempted but felt embarrassed to say so.

“It is necessary, and my brother and I have already Breakthrough Foundation Establishment, so we don’t need them. It’s just right that Sister Ruyi is preparing for Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Qingzhu smiled gently, making her approachable, like a spring breeze.

Lu Qingshan saw this and said nothing, raising his hand to dispose of the five rogue Cultivator corpses, then steered the Spirit Boat carrying the two back to Bihu Mountain.

A month later.

Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, and Lu Ruyi returned to Bihu Mountain.

Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan were very pleasantly surprised to hear that the siblings had returned.

“Mother, you look like a Demonic Cultivator, so alluring and demonic.”

Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but complain upon seeing his mother’s appearance.

“If you can’t speak properly, no one will think you’re mute!”

Lu Miaohuan heard this and immediately slapped her son on the back of his head, saying irritably.

Her nose was upturned, her red lips were enchanting, as if smeared with fresh blood, captivatingly beautiful, and her eyes were subtly lined with eyeshadow, like a female BOSS with heavy makeup.

“Auntie, this look is very elegant and beautiful.”

Lu Qingzhu covered her mouth and chuckled softly, serene and gentle.

Only in front of their parents would her brother act like an ungrown youth.

“Xiao Zhu’er is much better at talking.”

Lu Miaohuan then tapped her son’s forehead again, then joyfully linked arms with Lu Qingzhu and said, “Oh, Xiao Zhu’er, you’ve Breakthrough Foundation Establishment!”

Due to the characteristics of the Nether Prison Demon Flower, she had already Breakthrough Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer and could see Lu Qingzhu’s Cultivation at a glance.

“Yes, thanks to brother, that’s why I Breakthrough Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Qingzhu glanced at her brother and said with a shallow smile.

“He’s sensible.”

Lu Miaohuan’s beautiful face broke into a smile upon hearing this, then she asked about the Jin Yang Sect’s situation over the years and the Heaven Sword Sect’s sword trial back then.

Although she knew a lot through messages, hearing her son tell it himself felt completely different!

“Ruyi, you must have had a tough time outside all these years. How did you meet Qingshan and Qingzhu?”

Lu Miaoge, meanwhile, was concerned about Lu Ruyi’s situation.

Her mother was just a Mortal, and had returned to Ruyi County with her other children years ago, so she wasn’t at Bihu Mountain.

“Auntie, I was in danger at the time, being pursued, and I owe it to Qingshan and Qingzhu.”

Lu Ruyi had taken a Longevity Pill, but now she looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, appearing very mature.

“Are you alright? Which force was it?”

Lu Miaoge’s voice was gentle and her demeanor like water.

“Auntie, I’m fine. It should have just been a few Loose Cultivators.”

Lu Ruyi softly shook her head and said.

“Good, let’s talk more when we get back. This evening, Lu will hold a welcoming banquet for you all.”

Lu Miaoge led her three children back to Biyun Peak.

Then she took Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu to visit Lu Qingqi and Lu Qingxuan.

“Qingxuan, Qingqi, this is your Brother Qingshan and Sister Qingzhu.”

Lu Miaoge said to the two little ones.

The siblings were already five years old, one lively and active, the other quiet and polite.

“Brother, Sister.”

Lu Qingqi was very familiar, approaching them with a close expression, hugging Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu, chattering and asking them questions.

Years ago, Lu Miaohuan had told her many stories about Lu Qingshan, so she greatly admired this brother she had never met.

Lu Qingxuan, nearby, was quiet and gentle. After greeting his brother and sister, he listened to his sister Lu Qingqi chat with their two newly returned elder siblings.

“Mother, where’s my father?”

At this moment, Lu Qingshan noticed his father hadn’t appeared and asked.

“Your father had some business and went to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.”

Lu Miaohuan said directly.

“Are my birth dates incompatible with father’s? Why is it that when I’m Lu, he’s not?”

Lu Qingshan said somewhat helplessly, holding his sister Lu Qingqi.

He had wanted to ask his father for guidance on the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture this time he returned.

After Breakthrough Foundation Establishment, he became increasingly aware that this Cultivation Technique was profound, and to comprehend the subsequent Cultivation Technique, he needed his father’s guidance.

“Your father will be out for about a year this trip, he should be back in a few months. How long will you two be staying Lu this time?”

Lu Miaoge said gently, like water.

“No rush this time, my Sect doesn’t have anything urgent for now.”

Lu Qingshan grinned, then inquired about his younger brother Lu Qingsong and matters concerning his maternal grandfather.

Outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

Several Qi Refining Cultivators were being pursued by a Tier 2 Giant Bear.

Although they were Late Stage Qi Refining in strength, they were no match for this Tier 2 Giant Bear.

Just as the few were forced into a desperate situation, a roar suddenly came from deep within the mountain range, piercing the clouds and tearing the sky.

“Roar!!!”

This sound was like thunder and a hurricane, surging forth, causing trees to tremble and leaves to rustle, making people’s hearts tremble.

The few who were already in a desperate situation, upon hearing this sound, immediately lost control of their spiritual power and stumbled to the ground.

Just as they were despairing, thinking they were about to be crushed by the giant bear, they saw the fiercely formidable giant bear roar towards the sky, then gallop towards the depths of the mountain range.

“What’s going on?”

The few who had escaped death looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

“That roar just now, could it have been the sound of a Tier 3 Demon King?”

“Demon King, could it be that a monster tide is about to appear in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range again?”

“Don’t monster tides usually occur once every hundred years or so?”

The few of them were quite puzzled, but the next moment, they felt an astonishing aura surging above them.

Looking up, they saw a comet streaking across the sky, heading out of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, so fast that they couldn’t even see what was happening.

However, at this moment, a massive, terrifying, wolf-like and tiger-like Vicious Beast with wings on its back, surging with wind and thunder, was hovering in the sky, roaring and howling with astonishing power, making the faces of the few people turn pale, their blood and Qi churning.

A moment later, this Vicious Beast somewhat unwillingly returned to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

“This is… a Tier 3 Demon King Wind Thunder Hǒu!?”

One of them swallowed, his voice hoarse.

“The roar just now should have been the sound of this Wind Thunder Hǒu!”

“Why would a Wind Thunder Hǒu come to this outer region?”

“Just now, it seemed like a comet streaked by, a bit like the escape light of a Core Formation True Person?”

“Could it be that a Core Formation True Person provoked this Wind Thunder Hǒu?”

The few of them speculated about what had just happened.

They didn’t dare to chat any longer, quickly took out Medicinal Pill and consumed them, and after recovering some physical strength, they left the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

In any case, the appearance of this Wind Thunder Hǒu indicated that something was happening in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, and it might really lead to a monster tide.

Once a monster tide occurred, Qi Refining Cultivator like them would surely die if they didn’t return to the town.

At the same time, several hundred miles outside the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

The comet landed on the ground, revealing two figures, one male and one female.

The man was wearing a luxurious black Magical Artifact robe, his face exceptionally handsome, though he looked a bit disheveled at the moment.

The woman had a refined appearance, dressed in a lake-blue skirt, her figure graceful and her demeanor elegant.

“Damn Wind Thunder Hǒu, I’ll come and kill you once I Breakthrough to Golden Core Realm!”

Lu Changsheng cursed, looking annoyed.

He was happily sweeping through Yao Beast in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, extracting Spiritual Vein Origin, when this Wind Thunder Hǒu suddenly attacked him for no apparent reason.

This Wind Thunder Hǒu was very powerful; it was rumored to have the Bloodline of an Ancient True Hǒu and had awakened its innate Divine Ability, so Lu Changsheng, with Ling Zixiao, naturally couldn’t fight this Wind Thunder Hǒu.

Whether he could win or not was one thing.

There were other Demon King in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

If he were to fight this Wind Thunder Hǒu and attract other Demon King to watch, it would be a huge problem.

So, facing such a situation, he could only run away with Ling Zixiao.

This was the first time Lu had ever fled in such a disheveled manner since he started his Cultivation.

If it weren’t for the Starlight Disk, nine treasures jade ruyi, and Tier 3 Talisman, he wouldn’t even have been able to outrun this Wind Thunder Hǒu, and would have only been able to fight quickly through the Interdimensional Demonic Head and Symbol Array.

“Lang Jun extracted too much Spiritual Vein Origin; some Spiritual Vein are branches of other large Spiritual Vein, which might have affected this Wind Thunder Hǒu.”

“Or perhaps the Crazy Thunder Tigers and certain Yao Beast killed earlier might be related to this Wind Thunder Hǒu.”

Ling Zixiao said with a smile.

It was her first time seeing her Lang Jun suffer a setback.

Perhaps due to her infinite trust in Lu Changsheng, she felt no fear facing a Tier 3 Demon King like the Wind Thunder Hǒu.

And Lu Changsheng indeed lived up to her trust; his escape art was astonishing, his speed even far surpassing that of an ordinary Core Formation True Person, making it impossible for this Tier 3 Demon King to catch up.

“That’s possible.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Although he didn’t provoke Tier 3 Demon King.

But sweeping through Tier 2 Yao Beast all the way was too much, and he might have been noticed by a Tier 3 Demon King.

“Lang Jun, these Demon King are very intelligent, and their sense of smell is keen. If Lang Jun still wants to extract Spiritual Vein Origin, he must stay far away from this area, otherwise he will still be noticed by this Wind Thunder Hǒu.”

Ling Zixiao continued.

“The harvest this time is almost enough; there’s no need to change locations again.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.

This trip, aside from being noticed by the Wind Thunder Hǒu, was very smooth otherwise, with a bountiful harvest.

According to his judgment, the Spiritual Vein Origin harvested so far was already enough to nourish the Spiritual Vein of the Xumi Grotto-heaven to Tier 2 peak, and even upgrade Lingshou Cliff to Tier 2.

So he planned to go straight home.

Moreover, the Storage Pouch he brought this time were almost full, so continuing would be a waste.

“Alright.”

Ling Zixiao responded with a faint smile.

Then, she set up a Formation to conceal their auras, and after their magic power recovered, they would return to Bihu Mountain.

Just now, Lu Changsheng had expended a lot of energy running at full speed.

If it weren’t for the xuan yuan pearl, his magic power wouldn’t have been able to sustain him.

“If I go all out, I wonder if I can suppress and kill that Wind Thunder Hǒu.”

Lu Changsheng held two High-Grade Spirit Stone, sat cross-legged to meditate, and pondered in his heart.

He had hundreds of Tier 3 Talisman in his hand, so setting up a Symbol Array to blast and kill a Tier 3 Demon King was naturally not a problem.

But he wasn’t very confident in facing the innate Divine Ability of this Wind Thunder Hǒu.

When Lu Changsheng finished recovering and set off with Ling Zixiao to return to Bihu Mountain, the matter of the Wind Thunder Hǒu in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range also spread to Yu Ling Sect.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ling Sect did not know why the Wind Thunder Hǒu behaved this way and sent people to investigate the situation.

The monster tide thirty years ago had severely wounded their Yu Ling Sect, and now they were extremely cautious about every move in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

Qingzhu Mountain.

Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu brought Lu Qingqi and Lu Qingxuan to Qingzhu Mountain to visit their maternal grandfather Lu Yuanding.

Lu Yuanding was already over a hundred years old.

Even after consuming many precious Medicinal Pill and Longevity Pill, he still showed obvious signs of old age, with white hair.

Seeing his grandson and granddaughter return, he was extremely happy, and his spirits lifted considerably.

Especially upon seeing both of them Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, he became incredibly excited.

Both his daughters had Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, and now his grandson and granddaughter had also Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. With three Foundation Establishment Cultivator guarding the Family, this was something he had not even dared to dream of in his early years, feeling that he had no regrets in this life.

“Qingqi, Qingxuan, when you grow up, you must also Cultivate well, just like your older brother and sister.”

Lu Yuanding looked at the two little ones, as if seeing Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu in their youth, his voice gentle and kind.

“Grandfather, don’t worry, when I grow up, I will definitely Cultivate hard, not only to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, but also to become a Core Formation True Person!”

Lu Qingqi said with a giggle, grabbing her grandfather’s beard with her fair, tender hand.

“Good, good, good, when you Breakthrough to Golden Core Realm, come to Qingzhu Mountain and tell grandfather.”

Lu Yuanding said with a laugh, holding his granddaughter.

Just then, Lu Yuanzhong arrived at the small courtyard with Lu Chenghua, greeting Lu Yuanding, Lu Qingshan, and the others.

A moment later, Lu Yuanding looked at Lu Qingshan and asked gently, “Qingshan, would it be convenient for you to have a spar with Chenghua?”

Just now, Lu Yuanzhong expressed his desire to know the gap between his direct descendants and the Sect Prodigy.

Qingzhu Mountain was not what it used to be.

The Family’s protective Cultivation Technique was the Panyuan Wheel Revolving Art given by Lu Changsheng.

Lu Chenghua not only possessed extraordinary talent but was also the only person in the Lu to have mastered this Cultivation Technique!

“Hmm?”

Lu Qingshan looked at Lu Chenghua next to him upon hearing this, a Foundation Establishment First Layer Cultivator.

Under normal circumstances, such a Cultivator would not be worthy of sparring with him.

However, since his own grandfather had spoken, he nodded, chuckling, “Of course.”

“Thank you, Uncle Qingshan.”

Lu Chenghua was a few years older than Lu Qingshan, but he still spoke very politely according to seniority.

However, there was still a hint of arrogance in his brows.

He was the only person in Qingzhu Mountain to have mastered the Panyuan Wheel Revolving Art, and also the first person in the Family to condense a Perfect Dao Foundation!

He believed that even if he wasn’t as good as a top Genius like Lu Qingshan, the difference wouldn’t be too great.

Immediately, the group came to an open space in Qingzhu Mountain.

“Make your move.”

Lu Qingshan’s figure was tall and slender, and he himself resembled a Heavenly Sword as he spoke.

“Qingshan, aren’t you going to draw your Sword?”

Lu Yuanding knew his grandson was a Sword Cultivator, and was a bit puzzled that he wasn’t drawing his Sword at this moment.

If it were anyone else saying this, Lu Qingshan would at least retort, ‘Is this even worthy of my Sword?’

But since it was his own grandfather, he was very reserved and said with a smile, “It’s just a spar.”

“Uncle Qingshan, please forgive my offense!”

Lu Chenghua’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke, his hands forming seals, magic power flowing, and a powerful, deep aura permeating around him.

Immediately, an earthy yellow magical ring appeared, pressing down on Lu Qingshan with a heavy aura as it rotated.

Facing this attack, Lu Qingshan unleashed a burst of Sword Qi with a flick of his finger, directly shattering the magical ring.

“This…”

Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding, who were nearby, were both startled.

Even Lu Chenghua was slightly breathless.

He hadn’t expected his attack to be so easily resolved.

His expression turned serious, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. Two magical rings condensed around him, overlapping and rotating, pressing down on Lu Qingshan.

However, Lu Qingshan still simply flicked his finger, and a sharp Sword light instantly shattered the magical rings.

Lu Qingzhu, who was standing by, saw this scene and wanted her brother to go easy.

But she knew her brother never did such things normally.

Moreover, with Lu Chenghua’s strength, unless her brother was putting on a show, he couldn’t even go easy.

She whispered to her grandfather, “Grandfather, brother is quite powerful. It’s hard to tell in a normal spar. Chenghua’s strength is already quite good…”

Lu Yuanding heard this and saw the situation, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Lu Yuanzhong, on the other hand, was filled with shock.

He was very clear about Lu Chenghua’s strength; his combat power was not much worse than his own.

Yet, in front of Lu Qingshan, he was like a child, completely harmless.

Didn’t that mean if Lu Qingshan truly made a move, he could almost instantly kill both him and Lu Chenghua?

“Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Qingshan.”

Lu Chenghua smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly.

The sparring match ended so dramatically.

However, Lu Qingshan stated that Lu Chenghua’s strength was still good, and could be considered upper-middle in the Sect.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanzhong felt much better.

The Lu had spent a lot of effort cultivating Lu Chenghua, waiting for over ten years.

If he was only considered low-tier in the Sect, then they would truly despair.

However, through this spar, they also gained a general understanding of the Sect Prodigy and Golden Core Realm seeds.

A month later.

Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao returned to Bihu Mountain.

“Hmm? Qingshan and Qingzhu are back?”

As soon as Lu Changsheng arrived home, he learned of his children’s return, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He thought to himself that his return this time was quite timely.

If he had delayed a few more months, his children might have returned to Jin Yang Sect again.

However, upon hearing that Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu had gone to Qingzhu Mountain and White Tiger Mountain, he came to the Xumi Grotto-heaven and brought out the Mountain and River Cauldron one by one.

“Sumi!”

Lu Changsheng called out to Sumi.

These Spiritual Vein Origin did not require him to set up a Formation; Sumi could refine the Origin itself to nourish the Spiritual Vein.

“Yes, Master.”

Sumi’s voice was ethereal and pleasant to the ear, as he embedded the Mountain and River Cauldron one by one into the earth veins.

However, Lu Changsheng still kept one Mountain and River Cauldron, intending to use it later to upgrade Lingcui Cliff, where he cultivated Spirit Medicine.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng gave the harvested pile of demon cores to Red Lotus and embedded them into the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman.

His Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers had been continuously cultivated.

It’s just that this thing was a huge consumer of resources.

His resources had been limited these past few years, so he had reduced his investment in this area.

Now that he had demon cores, he naturally fed them all, hoping to produce a few Tier 2 Dao Soldiers soon and see the effects.

After doing all these things, Lu Changsheng remembered that he still had a lottery drawing, so he went to the peak, under the Sumi Tree, and thought to himself, “System, draw!”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Gu worm ‘Fragrant Gu’!”

“The reward has been issued to the System space, and the host can check it at any time.”

A pink silkworm pattern emerged from the big turntable, accompanied by a System prompt.

“Hmm, Gu worm?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow upon seeing this reward.

With the Peach Blossom Gu and Hope Gu before, he had a good impression of the Gu worms in the System.

He felt that this thing could come more often; he liked it, and it was useful.

His mind stirred, and he looked into the System space.

“Gu worm: Fragrant Gu”

“Quality: Heaven Spirit Gu”

“Description: The Heavenly Dao has Yin and Yang, humans have good and evil, right and wrong, beauty and ugliness. Fragrance is loved by all; heavenly fragrance is favored by heaven and earth.”

“The effect of this Fragrant Gu, why does it somewhat resemble the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Fragrant Gu in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Regarding his Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body, he already knew the general effects through Red Lotus.

This Spirit Body could be divided into two parts.

Immaculate!

Heavenly Fragrance!

The ‘Immaculate’ part makes the Spirit Body completely pure, with all Meridians unblocked, no Bottleneck before Foundation Establishment, a lifespan different from ordinary people, and the Physical Body is exceptional in terms of toxins, able to reduce Medicinal Pill toxicity.

The ‘Heavenly Fragrance’ part, the most obvious effect, is that the body emits a fragrance.

This fragrance can make people feel close, and even has an aphrodisiac effect during intimate moments.

According to Red Lotus, if the owner of the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body Breakthrough to Golden Core Realm, they would be subtly favored by heaven and earth, increasing their Luck by a few points.

Although this concept of Luck was very mysterious and difficult to verify.

However, during the Breakthrough from Golden Core Realm to Nascent Soul, the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body’s Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation would indeed be relatively weaker by a few points.

“Extract!”

Lu Changsheng extracted this Fragrant Gu.

Immediately, he gained a detailed understanding of this Gu worm.

“It really is somewhat similar to the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body…”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Fragrant Gu in his hand, surprised.

After refining this Fragrant Gu, it could make its owner’s body emit a fragrance, making people feel good about them.

When the Gu worm advanced to Second Revolution, the effect of this fragrance would be further enhanced.

Not only would it make people feel good, but they would also be reluctant to harm them.

When the Gu worm advanced to Third Revolution, even enemies who smelled this fragrance would feel somewhat soft-hearted and unwilling to harm them.

When the Gu worm reached Fourth Revolution, this fragrance could begin to subtly enhance Opportunity and Luck.

However, cultivating this Fragrant Gu was extremely troublesome.

At First Revolution, it was fine, only requiring the fragrance of ordinary flowers.

At Second Revolution, this floral fragrance must be the scent of rare Spirit Medicine.

At Third Revolution, the Fragrant Gu’s advancement became very troublesome, requiring feeding with the fragrance of heaven and earth spiritual plant and spiritual flowers.

As for Fourth Revolution, it was no longer an ordinary fragrance; it required divine fragrance, which meant the incense of others’ faith!

“It’s too difficult to Cultivate this Fragrant Gu. Peach Blossom Gu is so simple, and Hope Gu doesn’t even need cultivation.”

“I have the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body and the Peach Blossom Gu. If I refine this Fragrant Gu again, I’ll really become a male succubus.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Gu worm, stroked his chin, and thought to himself.

However, he had no intention of refining this Fragrant Gu.

As it was, he always kept the fragrance of his Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body sealed.

It was only used for intimacy during Dual Cultivation.

Otherwise, what kind of appearance would a big man have if his body constantly emitted fragrance, and he smelled fragrant wherever he walked?

If he added another Fragrant Gu, he would truly be leaving wafts of fragrance everywhere he walked.

Thinking of this scene, Lu Changsheng felt a chill.

“When I go to Jin Country, I’ll have to prepare a gift for Nangong Yaoyao. She was born in the Five Poison Sect, so I assume she has some innate Gu worm. This Fragrant Gu could be a good meeting gift for her.”

Lu Changsheng thought of his daughter whom he had never met.

This daughter possessed the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body; if she could refine this Fragrant Gu, it would be of great help in her growth.

Moreover, this fragrance thing felt strange on a big man.

But if it were a docile and cute young girl, it would be perfectly normal.

“I wonder how Nangong Yaoyao is doing now.”

Lu Changsheng sighed, thinking that this daughter had already reached Foundation Establishment.

He felt that after so long, when he went to Jin Country, it would be to see this daughter, Meng Xiaochun.

He truly wanted to bring his daughter home, but unless he kidnapped her, it probably wouldn’t be easy.
