Chapter 427: Could it be that Lu Changsheng is a spirit being for giving birth?

Golden Dragon Ridge.

At this moment, Golden Dragon Ridge was on full alert.

Suddenly, an old man, whose robes were torn, face pale, and back severely lacerated with bones visible, descended.

“Sixth Elder, what happened to you!”

A patrolling Jin Family disciple saw the old man, immediately recognized him, and cried out in alarm.

“Quickly…quickly send a message to the Jin Family Head, Bihu Mountain has a great secret, the Lu Family junior…”

The old man’s face was pale as he spoke weakly.

But before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of scorching hot black blood and fainted.

“Sixth Elder!”

The Jin Family disciple did not dare to move the Sixth Elder, fearing to worsen his injuries, and immediately sent a message to the Jin Family Head.

A moment later, the Jin Family Head arrived with several people.

“What exactly happened?!”

He saw the old man whose body was charred, bleeding, and whose aura was extremely weak. He quickly stepped forward, his expression filled with grief.

Not long ago, he had learned through the soul tablet that two of the Family’s Foundation Establishment Elders had perished, suspecting an ambush at Huaguo Mountain, so he immediately put the Family on alert.

He hadn’t expected that the only surviving Sixth Elder would be so severely injured.

“Jin Family Head, the Sixth Elder only said that Bihu Mountain has a great secret, but he fainted before he could finish his sentence.”

The Jin Family disciple beside him immediately said, his expression somewhat fearful, not knowing what was happening.

“Bihu Mountain? This time, the Yuan Family and Sima Family both targeted Hongye Valley Market. How could Bihu Mountain still have the strength to set up an ambush at Huaguo Mountain!”

The Jin Family Head’s face turned extremely grim upon hearing this.

Looking at his Sixth Elder’s injuries, he dared not think further. He took out a bottle of spiritual liquid from his Storage Pouch, poured it onto his Sixth Elder’s wound to stabilize his condition, then carried him into Golden Dragon Ridge and called for someone to treat him.

“Jin Family Head, given the Sixth Elder’s condition, even if he wakes up, his lifespan will not be long.”

After examining the Jin Family’s Sixth Elder’s injuries, the physician began treatment and said in a deep voice.

This Sixth Elder was over one hundred and forty years old.

With such severe injuries, even if cured, he would at most have only ten years to live.

And that was on the premise of not engaging in combat.

If he were to fight again, he might not even live for three to five years.

“Ah, why!”

Upon hearing this, the Jin Family Head clenched his fists, unable to suppress a sorrowful roar, his face filled with unwillingness.

Over these past ten years, their Jin Family had experienced great ups and downs.

First, the Family welcomed its second False Core Immortal Master, bringing the Family to an unprecedented Peak.

But before they could even rejoice, the Old Ancestor was inexplicably killed by an evil Cultivator at Hu Family Ridge, causing the Family’s Origin Qi to suffer a great blow.

Now, just as the Family had finally recovered some Origin Qi, two more Foundation Establishment Cultivators died, and one Foundation Establishment Cultivator was half-crippled.

This situation was a heavy blow to the Jin Family.

Without thirty to fifty years, they likely wouldn’t recover.

“Bihu Mountain’s ambush this time might target our Golden Dragon Ridge. This matter must be told to the Old Ancestor.”

After a moment, the Jin Family Head muttered to himself.

They had previously considered asking the Old Ancestor to ambush Lu Changsheng.

But considering that their Old Ancestor’s Divine Ability and Magic Treasure were not yet complete, there was a great risk in trying to kill Lu Changsheng, so they ultimately did not tell Jin Zan about the Family’s plan.

But now, with the plan having failed and the Family suffering a heavy blow, he had no choice but to inform the Old Ancestor of this news.

At the same time.

Lu Miaoge and Xiao Xiyue arrived at Huaguo Mountain.

When they learned that Lu Qingxuan had killed three Foundation Establishment Cultivators alone, they were all surprised and astonished.

What happened?

First, Lu Wangshu alone suppressed and killed five Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators.

Now, Lu Qingxuan also killed three Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators alone?

Are their children all so outstanding?

“Thunderfire Lotus Seat?”

Lu Miaoge heard Lu Xiaoya’s general description and guessed that it must be some means her husband had given to this son.

After all, Lu Changsheng often gave his children treasures for self-defense.

Even they were not clear about the specific situations and combat strengths of their children.

Just like when Lu Wangshu faced five Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators earlier.

Lu Miaoge and Xiao Xiyue actually did not know this daughter’s specific combat strength, or how many Talismans, or how many third-tier Talismans, were in her Storage Pouch.

The two did not ask further and came to a courtyard with Lu Xiaoya.

Lu Miaoge and Lu Xiaoya entered the room and saw Lu Qingxuan on the bed, his face pale and his aura weak and listless.

“Qingxuan greets Aunt.”

Lu Qingxuan saw Lu Miaoge and quickly sat up to salute.

“Qingxuan, you should rest well.”

Lu Miaoge did not have much contact with this son.

But as the Lu Family’s matriarch, she was gentle and generous to all the children in the Family.

Then, she gently raised her fair hand and healed Lu Qingxuan using ‘Taiyi True Water’.

During this process, she saw that Lu Qingxuan’s magical power was exhausted, and his Physical Body, Meridians, and Dantian were under a state of overload.

He must have used some means far beyond what he could currently bear.

If he didn’t recuperate properly, it might even affect his Foundation.

“Aunt, I was a bit reckless…”

Lu Qingxuan noticed Lu Miaoge’s slight frown and immediately said.

He explained that he had seen that the three had come prepared, so he suspected that Hongye Valley Market and White Tiger Mountain had also been attacked, which was why he didn’t wait for reinforcements.

“Your guess is correct. This indeed was a targeted attack by other forces.”

Lu Miaoge shook her head slightly, not blaming Lu Qingxuan.

Although White Tiger Mountain was not attacked, the simultaneous appearance of Robber Cultivators at Hongye Valley Market and Huaguo Mountain clearly indicated the involvement of a certain force.

She suspected that the reason she and Xiao Xiyue did not encounter an attack on their way was likely because the crises at Hongye Valley Market and Huaguo Mountain had been resolved, so the other party gave up on intercepting them.

After treating Lu Qingxuan, Lu Miaoge and Xiao Xiyue went outside Huaguo Mountain to investigate the situation.

Under the attack of the Thunderfire Mysterious Lotus, not only the Physical Bodies of the two Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but also their Magical Artifacts, magical robes, and Storage Pouches were all reduced to ashes.

However, through the clues, the two women saw traces of only two bodies, meaning one person must have escaped.

“Nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators, this definitely did not come from a single force.”

Lu Miaoge frowned slightly and said in a low voice.

Even a False Core level Family could not mobilize nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators at once.

So, it was highly likely that multiple forces were involved.

Or, a certain force spent money to hire Robber Cultivators and Loose Cultivators to act.

“When I return to the Sect, I will have someone investigate.”

Xiao Xiyue’s face and body were enveloped in a hazy glow, making her appear like a bright moon, cold and sacred.

“Xiyue, thank you for your trouble.”

Lu Miaoge said earnestly.

If this matter could prompt Qingyun Sect to act and investigate some information, it would be a huge deterrent.

“No trouble.”

Xiao Xiyue’s voice was calm and indifferent.

Even though she had no aversion to Lu Miaoge, and even felt a certain closeness.

But as long as she wasn’t facing Lu Changsheng and Lu Wangshu, she still involuntarily exuded a cold aura that kept people at a distance.

Since Lu Qingxuan was currently in a weak state, the two women did not leave immediately.

Lu Miaoge sent a message to the Family, hoping that Xia Zhiyue or Li Xingyu would come to Huaguo Mountain to oversee it for a period of time.

Bihu Mountain, Xumi Grotto-heaven.

“Hongye Valley Market was attacked by six Robber Cultivators, and Huaguo Mountain was attacked by three Robber Cultivators.”

In Chang Sheng Hall, Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed as he listened to Lu Miaoyun’s words.

He hadn’t expected his own auction to cause such a stir.

He glanced at the cocoon on the bed, which was glowing with a platinum luster and constantly absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, then after a brief thought, he and Lu Miaoyun walked out of the Xumi Grotto-heaven.

Then, he took Xia Zhiyue and left Bihu Mountain silently, arriving at Huaguo Mountain.

“Changsheng, you’ve come.”

Lu Miaoge and Xiao Xiyue hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to arrive so quickly.

They thought, is this the travel speed of a Core Formation Immortal Master?

“Xiyue, Miaoge…”

Lu Changsheng had already seen Xiao Xiyue with his Divine Sense, so he was not surprised and asked about the specific situations at Hongye Valley Market and Huaguo Mountain.

Upon hearing that Xiao Xiyue would take the bodies of the three to Qingyun Sect to ask the Law Enforcement Hall to investigate, Lu Changsheng immediately said gently, “Xiyue, you’ve worked hard.”

“It’s nothing.”

Xiao Xiyue’s eyes, usually as cold as the moon, were much softer now.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng came to a courtyard to visit his son, Lu Qingxuan.

“Father!”

Lu Qingxuan in the room heard the movement, saw Lu Changsheng, and was somewhat surprised. Like a child who had done something wrong, he quickly got up to salute.

“You must not move your injuries now.”

Lu Changsheng gently raised his palm, and an invisible magical power made the other party lie down. He said warmly, “Father already knows the situation here. You did very well.”

Although in that situation, Lu Qingxuan only needed to defend with the great formation and wait for reinforcements.

But his judgment at the time was also not wrong.

As he spoke, Lu Changsheng stepped forward and checked Lu Qingxuan’s injuries.

He knew that the other party had overused the Divine Ability Thunderfire Mysterious Lotus, leading to magical power exhaustion and physical overload.

He took out several bottles of Medicinal Pills from his Storage Ring and handed them to the other party.

“Thank you, Father.”

Lu Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was his mother’s teaching in his youth, or perhaps because they didn’t spend much time together, he always felt that his Father had quite a bit of prestige.

He was also a bit worried that his actions might displease his Father.

“Next, you will recuperate well at home and must not use magical power again. I will have your Aunt Zhiyue look after Huaguo Mountain for now.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Although Xia Zhiyue’s combat power was low, it wouldn’t be a big problem if she only managed the operation of the great formation.

If there was any problem, she only needed to send him a message immediately.

“Yes, Father.”

Lu Qingxuan nodded in response.

Then, Lu Changsheng asked about the spells and Magical Artifacts of Lu Qingxuan and the other two, before returning to Hongye Valley Market with Lu Miaoge and Xiao Xiyue.

“Father, Mother.”

Lu Wangshu was pleasantly surprised to see Lu Changsheng, but immediately complained tearfully about how difficult her battle had been.

Lu Changsheng glanced at his daughter, noting she was only overly exhausted and would be fine after a few days of rest.

However, thinking about how diligently his daughter had worked at Hongye Valley Market for the past few months, he still comforted her with a few words.

“Wangshu, later you should send Nine Nether back to White Tiger Mountain.”

Lu Changsheng pondered slightly.

Originally, White Tiger Mountain and Huaguo Mountain could support each other immediately.

But now, White Tiger Mountain only had Lu Qingsong guarding it, and he dared not leave easily.

If the Nine Nether Mastiff was there, it would be much better.

“Okay, Father, I can go to White Tiger Mountain to watch over it then.”

Lu Wangshu heard that Huaguo Mountain had also been attacked and knew that her Father was not in a good mood, so she responded obediently and volunteered.

“Good, Wangshu, you’ve worked hard.”

Lu Changsheng patted his daughter’s hair with relief, thinking that his daughter was indeed sensible.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge went to visit Lu Yuanding.

“Father, Mother.”

Lu Yuanding was resting, with Lu Qingxuan and Lu Qingqi, the siblings, accompanying their maternal grandfather.

Lu Yuanding was a light sleeper. Hearing the movement, he opened his cloudy eyes and said in an old, slow voice, “Changsheng, you’re here…”

“Father-in-law.”

Lu Changsheng could clearly see the fading vitality of his Father-in-law, Lu Yuanding, fearing he wouldn’t last much longer.

“Don’t be sad. Seeing the prosperity of Hongye Valley Market, I have no regrets.”

Lu Yuanding saw that Lu Changsheng’s expression was a bit heavy, and squeezed out a smile from his wrinkled, age-spotted face, speaking with great composure about his impending death.

After speaking, Lu Yuanding seemed to have a realization and looked at Lu Miaoge, whispering, “Miaoge, Father wants to go home, back to Qingzhu Mountain…”

Lu Miaoge’s heart trembled fiercely upon hearing this.

She had been nurturing her Father’s Physical Body these past few days and already knew he was in a state of exhaustion.

These words clearly indicated his desire to return to his roots and die in Qingzhu Mountain.

“Miaoge, Father has lived to this age and can see you and Changsheng achieve such accomplishments; I have no regrets.”

Lu Yuanding’s aged face glowed faintly as he spoke to his daughter.

“Good, let’s go home, Xuan’er, Qi’er, we’ll accompany Grandpa home.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and nodded.

Although he was still concerned about Bai Ling at home, he was prepared to accompany his Father-in-law, Lu Yuanding, on his final journey.

The next day.

The news of five Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators causing trouble at Hongye Valley Market and Bi Hu Mountain Lord Lu Changsheng’s daughter killing them quickly spread to all surrounding Family forces, continuously fermenting and expanding throughout the entire Qingyun Territory.

This news was too astonishing.

For ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, being able to defeat opponents beyond their cultivation level, or fight one against many, was already very impressive.

But Lu Wangshu, with her Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, killed five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, which was simply incredible.

“An Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator killing five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, how is that possible?”

“You say if he was Late Stage Foundation Establishment, killing five Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators would be more plausible, but an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, how could she have such strength!”

“Exactly, what does this make other Foundation Establishment Cultivators? Incompetent?”

“Back then, Lu Changsheng only killed three Foundation Establishment Cultivators…”

Many people, upon hearing this news, immediately doubted and questioned it.

After all, such a thing was too unbelievable.

However, many people witnessed the situation that day, so quite a few accepted this fact.

“Talisman Cultivator, top-tier Talisman Dao Legacy, Void Realm Talisman Drawing?”

“Consuming hundreds of Talismans in one battle, doesn’t that mean a single battle costs tens of thousands of Spirit Stones!?”

“No wonder she was so fierce. This isn’t a battle of Magical Abilities; this is completely burning money! That amount of Spirit Stones could buy someone’s life!”

“Bi Hu Mountain’s Lu Changsheng became famous in the Talisman Dao in his early years. I never expected that decades later, such an astonishing and brilliant successor would appear in his Family!”

“I remember Lu Changsheng also had a son in his early years named Lu Ping’an, an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator who repelled an old-brand Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Now, he has a daughter who, also in Early Stage Foundation Establishment, killed five Foundation Establishment Cultivators. What’s going on with the Lu Family!”

“Hiss, speaking of which, this Old Ancestor Lu’s fertility luck is quite good!”

“I heard that this Old Ancestor Lu’s reputation in his early years was for being fond of female beauty, enjoying taking concubines, and having many children. Could it be that he possesses some special Spiritual Body that allows him to bear children like this?”

Many people discussed animatedly, marveling at Lu Wangshu’s combat power.

And as they chatted, they began to suspect that Lu Changsheng possessed some kind of fertility-related Spiritual Body.

“Monkey Mountain was attacked, and Lu Qingxuan, the Lu Family disciple guarding it, used some method to repel three Foundation Establishment Cultivators alone, with all three suspected to have been killed.”

“What’s going on with Bi Hu Mountain? How are all the disciples in their Family so fierce? They’re no worse than the core disciples of an Immortal Sect.”

“Thunderfire attribute Cultivation Technique? Isn’t Lu Changsheng known for the Talisman Dao? Where did he get a Thunderfire-related Cultivation Technique Legacy from?”

“Lu Qingshan, Lu Ping’an, Lu Wangshu, Lu Qingxuan… This luck, it seems Lu Changsheng is very likely to possess some kind of fertility Spiritual Body!”

Regarding Huaguo Mountain and Lu Qingxuan’s matters, due to Lu Wangshu being too dazzling, they were directly overshadowed, only known to various major forces.

These forces, upon hearing these two pieces of news, were all incredibly shocked.

After all, one Lu Ping’an could be explained, which was normal.

One Lu Wangshu could still be barely explained, that Lu Changsheng indeed had good fertility luck.

But now, there was another Lu Qingxuan!

Some large Family forces also knew about Lu Qingshan’s situation, so they seriously suspected that Lu Changsheng had a special condition!

At this moment, these Family forces became even more wary of Bi Hu Mountain.

If there hadn’t been this test, this action, who would have known that Bi Hu Mountain was hiding so deep, suddenly producing two such fierce sons and daughters.

Perhaps one day, several more fierce sons and daughters would mysteriously appear.

“No, with Bi Hu Mountain’s situation, if he rises, where will we have a place to stand!”

“The emergence of so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Bi Hu Mountain is not unrelated to the Alchemist in their Family. Now, releasing the news of free Foundation Establishment Pill refinement, on one hand, indicates sufficient accumulation of strength, and on the other hand, it’s a way to earn Spirit Stones and Foundation Establishment resources.”

“Exactly, and every Foundation Establishment Cultivator requires a large amount of resources. Bi Hu Mountain’s Spirit Fish and Puppet businesses alone definitely can’t support this expenditure!”

“As long as we cut off his Lu Family Business Association, no matter how many Foundation Establishment Cultivators he has in his Family, he won’t have money to cultivate them.”

“We absolutely cannot let his Bi Hu Mountain establish its Business Association!”

Immediately, many forces realized that the Lu Family was currently only operating within their own small sphere.

But once the Business Association was established, these Family forces might all suffer, experiencing direct loss of interests.

“If Lu Changsheng truly possesses such a special Spiritual Body in this regard, and I bear children with him, perhaps…”

“Lu Ping’an’s mother was just a Mortal, and Lu Qingxuan’s mother was just a maid of Lu Changsheng in his early years. As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, if I were to become Lu Changsheng’s Dao Companion and bear children…”

Many forces considered stifling the Lu Family Business Association to prevent its development.

However, quite a few forces also thought of taking advantage of this stage to befriend Bi Hu Mountain, form a marriage alliance with Lu Changsheng, become his Dao Companion, and then give birth to several exceptionally talented children.

Even if these children were to belong to Bi Hu Mountain, as long as they were well-taught, they could still favor their own maternal clan in the future.

Aside from the external shock, the news of Lu Wangshu also spread back to Bi Hu Mountain, astonishing countless Lu Family disciples.

They knew that this older or younger sister was formidable.

But they never expected her to be so formidable!

For a time, everyone seemed to understand why Lu Wangshu was so favored by their Father.

“One person killed five Foundation Establishment Cultivators…”

Lu Caizhen and Lu Xingchen, who had just broken through to Foundation Establishment, both expressed their emotions.

They felt like complete failures compared to Lu Wangshu.

“I suppose only Lingxiao can compare to Sister Wangshu…”

Lu Xingchen thought of how his Father had mentioned Lu Lingxiao being a Spiritual Body when he broke through earlier, and pondered.

“I wonder if I can achieve this combat power after cultivating tens of thousands of Iron Fire Ants.”

In a courtyard, Lu Chensha heard this news and muttered to himself, looking at the Iron Fire Ants in his insect nest pouch.

“No wonder Father asked Sister Wangshu to guard Hongye Valley Market…”

Lu Xingyang said with emotion.

At the time, when his Father asked him to find his older sister Lu Wangshu to guard Hongye Valley Market, he still felt that this older sister was not very reliable.

Now it seemed that his Father had foresight and already knew her strength.
