Chapter 433: The spiritual vein is promoted, with two branches!
Xuanwu Ridge.
Sima Family Ancestral Hall.
“How is this possible!”
The Sima Family Head, seeing the four shattered soul tablets before him, trembled all over, his face ashen.
He was not only terrified by the deaths of his four uncles,
but also by the wrath of his family’s ancestor after their deaths.
After all, these four uncles were the hope of the Sima family’s current generation, with the potential to form their Golden Cores in the future.
Now, they had all fallen.
“My uncles only went to deal with the Lu family caravan from Azure Lake Mountain, how could they have fallen outside?”
“Could it be that the Pseudo-Core elders of other families ambushed them on the way?”
The Sima Family Head’s body trembled continuously, muttering to himself, unable to believe this fact.
“No, this is absolutely impossible. If the other Pseudo-Core families dared to do such a taboo thing, it would be a fight to the death with my Sima family, they would never dare to do this.”
“Moreover, my uncles have extraordinary means, even Pseudo-Core cultivators would find it difficult to kill them all.”
The Sima Family Head’s throat was dry, his heart trembling, suspecting that his four uncles had encountered other dangers along the way.
He dared not think further and immediately flew towards the top of Xuanwu Peak, arriving in front of a cave, kneeling down and shouting: “Ancestor, something terrible has happened!”
“What is all this shouting about?”
From within the cave came a deep, heavy, and imposing voice.
“Ancestor,”
the Sima Family Head knelt in front of the cave, his face pale, his forehead covered with sweat, his voice dry and hoarse: “Sima Bo, Sima Zhong, Sima Shu, Sima Ji, the soul tablets of the four uncles are shattered.”
“What!”
A surge of immense magical energy swept out from the cave, causing the Sima Family Head kneeling outside the cave to slump, the Qi and blood in his body surging, his chest heavy.
He dared not move, prostrating on the ground, his voice trembling as he said: “Not long ago, the four uncles heard about the Azure Lake Mountain matter and went to intercept the Lu family caravan, saying they wanted to blunt their edge…”
“The Azure Lake Mountain Lu family caravan? How could a mere Azure Lake Mountain Lu family kill the pride of my Sima family!”
An old man with gray hair, a rugged face, and wearing a black brocade robe walked out of the cave, his eyes wide, gleaming with a frightening light, looking at the Sima Family Head before him, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
“Ancestor, I don’t know either…”
The Sima Family Head trembled all over as he spoke.
He knew that his ancestor was not someone with a good temper.
It was only after breaking through to the Pseudo-Core stage that he began to cultivate his temperament, making him much kinder.
“Azure Lake Mountain Lu family, I remember that Lu family brat Lu Changsheng and his wife cultivate a dual cultivation technique, their combat power is comparable to a Pseudo-Core, and they also have a knack for talisman formations.”
The Sima Family Ancestor’s voice was majestic and domineering, his eyes sharp as he continued to ask: “Could it be that Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge are personally overseeing this Lu family caravan?”
“This Lu family caravan is overseen by Lu Ping’an, the eldest son of the Lu family, and Ling Zixiao, Lu Changsheng’s Dao companion,”
the Sima Family Head replied.
After speaking, he continued to add: “A month ago, the Red Leaf Valley Market under Azure Lake Mountain held a Foundation Establishment Pill auction. During this process, Lu Changsheng did not show his face, so it cannot be ruled out that Lu Changsheng is hiding in the caravan.”
Although he did not think that Lu Changsheng had the strength to kill his four uncles, suspecting that his four uncles may have encountered danger elsewhere.
But his ancestor was currently in a fit of anger, and he would definitely want to vent this anger.
If he were to analyze and analyze, causing the ancestor’s anger to have nowhere to vent, it would fall on his head.
“Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge cultivate a dual cultivation technique, if it weren’t for Lu Miaoge, how could he have such abilities…”
Although the Sima Family Ancestor was furious, he still had reason.
“Ancestor, not long ago at the Red Leaf Valley Market, Lu Changsheng’s daughter, Lu Wangshu, relied on talisman formations to single-handedly kill five Foundation Establishment cultivators, indicating that Lu Changsheng’s talisman inheritance is extraordinary, a top-tier inheritance.”
“Lu Changsheng, in his early years, had just broken through to Foundation Establishment not long before he relied on talisman formations to kill three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Yu family, thereby seizing Azure Lake Mountain.”
“So many years have passed, no one knows how high Lu Changsheng’s talisman skills are, if the four uncles were careless and fell into his talisman formation, perhaps…”
As the Sima Family Head spoke, he suddenly felt that it made sense, that this was very possible.
Immediately, he raised his head, looking at his ancestor, and said with a mournful face: “Otherwise, with the combat power of the four uncles, even a Pseudo-Core cultivator in person would not be able to kill them all.”
“I heard from Nineteenth Uncle that the soul tablets of the four uncles shattered at about the same time, which is similar to Lu Changsheng’s talisman formation techniques.”
“Ancestor, you must avenge the four uncles.”
The Sima Family Head shouted loudly, a sense of grief涌 out in his heart.
However, as soon as he spoke, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Lu Changsheng was even able to kill his four uncles, if his ancestor went, would he really be able to kill him?
“Lu Changsheng, what a Lu Changsheng, daring to kill the pride of my Sima family, this old ancestor will destroy your Azure Lake Mountain Lu family!”
Upon hearing these words, the Sima Family Ancestor’s heart was filled with anger.
One must know that the Sima Bo brothers obtained a great opportunity in their early years, cultivating a peerless secret technique.
When one of them attempts to form their Golden Core, the other three can expend their life essence to assist, increasing the breakthrough probability by 20-30%.
With the foundation of his Sima family, coupled with this secret technique, perhaps they could enable one person to break through to the Golden Core stage, allowing their Sima family to leap into becoming a Golden Core family.
But now, with the fall of the Sima Bo four brothers, their Sima family’s family dream was directly shattered.
How could he not be angry in such a situation!
“Little Three, is Little Four at home? Notify them to come and see me!”
The Sima Family Ancestor was furious, the Pseudo-Core magic power spreading out, causing the Sima Family Head beside him to feel suffocated, unable to breathe.
Although he was angry, he still realized that Lu Changsheng was able to kill his four proud sons, and it might be difficult for him to kill him.
After all, no one knows how many talismans a talisman cultivator has in their hands.
“Fourth Master is at home, Third Master seems to have gone to Thunderclap Cliff some time ago.”
The Sima Family Head said with some difficulty.
“Little Four, come and see me.”
The Sima Family Ancestor’s voice rolled like thunder, then he looked towards his back mountain and said in a low voice: “Black Shadow.”
“Screech!”
A moment later, a screeching sound rang out.
A huge eagle with deep ink-colored feathers came flapping its wings.
Its eagle eyes were deep and sharp, its beak curved and sharp, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, and its two eagle claws were like hundred-refined steel, exuding a terrifying demonic aura.
Families like the Sima family, with a thousand-year inheritance of Pseudo-Cores, not only nurture family disciples, but also cultivate several spirit beasts to suppress their foundation.
However, the most famous spirit beast of the Sima family is still the Black Tortoise left by the Sima Family Ancestor in his early years.
It is rumored that this Black Tortoise has extraordinary bloodline and is advancing towards the Third-Order Demon King, and even the Sima family’s territory is named Xuanwu Ridge, which is related to this Black Tortoise.
“Second Uncle.”
A moment later, an old man exuding the aura of Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure arrived, cupping his hands and bowing to the Sima Family Ancestor before him.
“Where is the Lu family caravan now?”
The Sima Family Ancestor’s gray hair danced wildly, his majesty intimidating as he looked at the Sima Family Head and asked in a deep voice.
“According to previous information, it should be near the Nine Lien Mountains…”
The Sima Family Head quickly said.
“Little Four, come with me.”
The Sima Family Ancestor heard this, and immediately his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Immediately, he took the old man called Little Four to the back of the black eagle.
“Screech!”
The eagle let out a long cry, stirring up a whirlwind, flying out of Xuanwu Ridge and flying towards the direction of the Nine Lien Mountains.
At the same time.
Azure Lake Mountain, Lu Family Mansion.
“Lingxi Lake Xie Family, Great Ape Mountain Yuan Family, Xuanwu Ridge Sima Family…”
Lu Changsheng looked at the letter in his hand, chuckled, and said: “It seems that the Red Leaf Valley Market incident has dispelled the thoughts of some families and forces with ill intentions.”
“And these few Pseudo-Core families can’t sit still anymore.”
After the Red Leaf Valley Market incident ended, he guessed that his caravan would be targeted.
It was very likely that several Pseudo-Core families in the Azure Cloud Territory would directly intervene.
Now, seeing Ling Zixiao’s letter, his guess was verified.
However, the Lingxi Xie family’s attitude is not bad.
From this, it can be seen that not all Pseudo-Core families have malice towards their family.
This is also normal.
Several False Core families were never a unified entity; they are in a competitive relationship.
Although Azure Lake Mountain has a fierce momentum, without direct conflicts, no one is willing to fight to the death.
No one is so noble as to confront Azure Lake Mountain for the peace of mind of other family forces.
“Yun’er, later, have Xingyang send someone to visit the Lingxi Xie family and deliver an invitation.”
Lu Changsheng pondered slightly and said to his wife, Lu Miaoyun, beside him.
Currently, the family is preparing the Foundation Establishment Ceremony for Lu Wangshu.
Given the current situation of Azure Lake Mountain, there is really no point in preparing a Foundation Establishment Ceremony; a small family celebration would suffice.
However, this time, under the guise of Lu Wangshu’s Foundation Establishment Ceremony, other family forces are invited to gather at Azure Lake Mountain to discuss cooperation matters and seek partners.
After all, relying solely on our own family and the Green Bamboo Mountain and Hundred Birds Lake families is clearly not enough to establish a Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, in matters of making money through the Chamber of Commerce, it’s impossible to say that one’s own family takes all the profits without sharing any benefits.
Doing so would undoubtedly make enemies of all forces, and one’s own family would not be able to handle it all.
Therefore, it is still necessary to cooperate and form a community of shared interests through the Chamber of Commerce.
With a vested interest, the cooperation between the two parties will also be extremely stable.
By then, other family forces will also be willing to wholeheartedly maintain Azure Lake Mountain.
The latest novels are first published on 6\_9\_shu\_ba!
“Okay, I’ll have Yun’er or Qingsong go over later.”
Lu Miaoyun responded.
Although it would be fine to send anyone to notify them of the visit and invitation.
But as the Lingxi Lake Xie family is a False Core family, our family still needs to show respect.
“Yes.”
Lu Changsheng nodded, looking at ‘Great Ape Mountain Yuan Family’ and ‘Profound Turtle Ridge Sima Family’ on the letter, his eyes narrowed slightly.
According to Xiao Xiyue and Xia Zhaoyang’s investigation, these two families also had a hand in the Red Leaf Valley Square City disturbance.
It’s just that the two families did it very cleanly.
Currently, only traces of an affiliated family under the Yuan family have been found.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator who was suppressed and killed by Xiao Xiyue with a palm at that time came from this Foundation Establishment family.
“Rumor has it that the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm has attracted many Core Formation experts to the Jiang Kingdom, and even True Person White Peak’s death is assumed to be the work of this group of Demonic Path Core Formation cultivators.”
“Why not take advantage of this time to stir up some trouble for the Yuan and Sima families?”
Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart.
Having constantly ambushed demon kings in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, he now has experience in ambushing people.
As long as he can think of a way to create some commotion and lure the two families’ ancestors out of the family’s great formation, he can instantly kill them.
If he is willing to take some risks, he can even use the Karma Void Robe and the Nine Treasure Wishful Bone’s restriction-breaking divine light to directly kill his way into Great Ape Mountain and Profound Turtle Ridge.
“Forget it, it’s not to that extent.”
“Moreover, a family’s rise cannot be without some troubles and obstacles.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head after thinking for a moment, dismissing the idea.
Now, in the surrounding area, except for the Jin family of Golden Dragon Ridge, none can compete with our family.
If he were to wipe out the Sima and Yuan families, these False Core-level forces, and then destroy the Jin family, there would be no opponents in the entire Azure Cloud Region except for the Xu family of Beast Taming.
This kind of situation is not a good thing for the family’s development and the children’s growth.
Moreover, the family’s growth cannot rely entirely on him eliminating other forces in advance, right?
“Buzz!”
Just then, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt the earth veins of Azure Lake Mountain seem to tremble slightly.
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, his pupils glowing with a purplish-golden luster, examining the Biyun Peak in front of him.
Biyun Peak is the main vein of Azure Lake Mountain, and it has formations connected to the earth veins. Unless someone attacks the great formation, there will never be an earthquake.
“As expected, these two branch veins have been completed.”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes shone brightly, seeing the formation of the two branch veins he had nurtured through Biyun Peak through the mountain rocks, a look of joy on his face.
Originally, Biyun Peak’s spiritual vein should have been promoted to Tier 2 High-Grade long ago.
It was because of nurturing these two branch veins that it had been delayed.
“Husband, what’s wrong?”
Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen looked at Lu Changsheng and asked.
“Hehe, the two small peaks next to it are finally about to be completed.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
He did not hide the matter of cultivating the two spiritual vein small peaks, and many people in the family knew about it.
After all, the promotion of spiritual veins can still be concealed by some means.
But there is no way to conceal the cultivation of branch vein small peaks.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng called his son, Lu Xingyang.
Pointing to the small hills rising on the left and right sides of Biyun Peak, he ordered him to evacuate the family members and not approach here.
Then, he notified all the people in the family who were sitting in meditation to temporarily stop their cultivation.
“Yes, Father.”
Lu Xingyang had long known that these two small hills were the spiritual veins connected and nurtured by Biyun Peak.
Once the spiritual vein is formed, the terrain of these two hills will rise a bit, forming a small peak.
“Sumi.”
After arranging everything, Lu Changsheng came to the top of Biyun Peak and called out to Sumi.
He indicated that when Biyun Peak’s spiritual vein was promoted later, it would suppress Biyun Peak’s spiritual energy and not cause any disturbance.
After all, Biyun Peak’s spiritual vein was only promoted to Tier 2 Middle-Grade more than thirty years ago.
If it were to be promoted to Tier 2 High-Grade now, it would seem that our family is too wealthy.
“Yes, Master.”
Sumi’s light and pleasant voice sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind.
It is rooted in Biyun Peak’s spiritual vein. As long as it suppresses the spiritual energy and swallows the excess spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the Sumi Cave Heaven, there will be no disturbance.
At most, the mountain will rise a bit.
But as long as it is not promoted to a Tier 3 spiritual vein, this terrain will not change too drastically.
“Rise!”
After instructing Sumi, Lu Changsheng formed hand seals and used the Dragon Seeking Technique, causing Biyun Peak to tremble slightly, as if shaking.
Within the earth veins, spiritual energy flowed, and the two small hills on the left and right suddenly rustled like flying sand and rocks, rumbling loudly.
After a while, a gray-black aura diffused from the small hills, and the mountain began to rise slowly.
This is the formation of the spiritual vein, and the earthly evil turbid qi dissipates.
“What’s that commotion?”
“Spiritual vein, a spiritual vein is forming!”
“In addition to Biyun Peak, Lake Heart Island, and Lingcui Cliff, our family will have another spiritual vein.”
“Not one, but two.”
“Is this the formation of a spiritual vein? It’s so magical.”
Many Lu family disciples, as well as apprentices and guest retainers, heard the commotion and looked far away at the two hills next to Biyun Peak, all amazed.
After all, most people have only seen things like the formation of spiritual veins in books.
Now, seeing such a scene with their own eyes, they felt greatly enlightened.
“Even if the branch veins are connected through Biyun Peak, it would take at least two or three spiritual source beads to nurture such a branch vein, right?”
“Spiritual source beads!?! I remember that such an object of spiritual eyes is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones per bead.”
“Yes, and such treasures are priceless. Only large families like Azure Lake Mountain have the strength and financial resources to acquire them.”
Several guest retainers with some discerning eyes saw this scene and exclaimed with emotion.
Even though they all have a skill and have a monthly salary of nearly a hundred spirit stones.
But if they want to buy a spiritual source bead, they have to work hard for most of their lives without eating or drinking.
And Azure Lake Mountain is now cultivating two spiritual veins, which is probably not enough for them to work hard until they die.
Half an hour later.
The commotion on the two hills next to Biyun Peak subsided, becoming two small peaks about ten feet high.
“Although it’s only Tier 1 High-Grade, now that the spiritual vein has been formed, it will be easy to cultivate next.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the two small peaks, a faint smile on his face.
The origin of the spiritual veins in his hand, let alone the two small peaks in front of him.
Even if there were three or five more, there would be no problem in cultivating them to Tier 2 High-Grade.
However, he does not plan to cultivate these two small peaks to Tier 2 now.
First cultivate them to Tier 1 High-Grade, and then wait for Ling Zixiao to set up a formation to conceal the situation before deciding whether to cultivate them.
