Chapter 444: The power of the Taoist soldiers, the formless precious wheel!
“Oh, the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers have been promoted?”
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit pleased.
In his earlier years, he had put a lot of effort into this batch of Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers.
It was just that the growth of Dao Soldiers was too slow.
Even constantly pouring in resources and having the Beast Taming Ancient Talisman, the speed still couldn’t be increased, so he gradually stopped paying attention.
Now that some Dao Soldiers had finally been promoted to the second rank, it still made him happy.
“Chensha, come and see me.”
Lu Changsheng’s divine sense enveloped the entire Biyun Peak, calling out to his son Lu Chensha, who was training the Ironfire Ants, preparing to see the second-rank Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers.
Before long, Lu Chensha arrived at the Lu family mansion.
Seeing Lu Changsheng and the others, he immediately bowed respectfully: “Chensha greets Father, Auntie.”
“Hmm.”
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and went with Lu Chensha to the top of Biyun Peak, saying, “Release the second-rank Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldier so I can see.”
“Yes, Father!”
Lu Chensha responded respectfully, then took out the Beast Taming Ancient Talisman and activated the ‘Beast Art’.
“Buzz!”
The ancient talisman glowed with flowing light, and a black ethereal light shot out, transforming into a flood dragon-serpent that was completely black, covered in fine, dark scales, about three zhang long, and as thick as a bucket.
This Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldier had a pair of short legs under its belly, gleaming with a dark, cold luster, and only a small black horn on its head.
“Roar!”
After the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldier appeared, a surge of water vapor immediately rose and spread around it, allowing it to ride the clouds and mists.
“Second-rank Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldier, awakened innate demonic arts: Blackwater Divine Light, Cloud Riding Art, Illusion Mist Art.”
Lu Changsheng examined the Dao Soldier before him.
The Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse refined demonic beasts into Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers. At the first rank, their appearances still varied greatly.
When promoted to the second rank, most would transform towards the appearance of a Blackwater Flood Dragon, except for some partial features.
When Dao Soldiers are promoted to the third rank, unless the demonic beast originally had extraordinary bloodline and innate talent, retaining some features, they would all be assimilated into the appearance of a Blackwater Flood Dragon.
“Although it’s only second-rank and its combat power isn’t high, it’s quite impressive for transportation.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldier before him and chuckled softly.
This troop of Dao Soldiers was water-element Dao Soldiers.
They could only unleash their true combat power in water.
If taken out, their combat power could only be considered average.
However, their appearance was quite good, majestic and ferocious, with a hint of flood dragon aura.
“Is there only one second-rank Blackwater Flood Dragon for now?”
Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Chensha.
“Reporting to Father, currently only this Dao Soldier has been promoted to the second rank. There are five more Dao Soldiers in the process of promotion, and three are on the verge of promotion, which can be promoted within a year at most.”
Lu Chensha said so.
Lu Changsheng had raised a total of eighty-one Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers.
For the Dao Soldiers refined from things like the early stage Scarlet Blood Carp King and some low-rank, mid-rank bloodline demonic beasts, their foundation was relatively poor, so they were simply cultivated without the intention of quickly cultivating them to the second rank.
After all, even if such Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers were boosted to the second rank, their potential would be exhausted, making it difficult to cultivate them to the third rank.
However, the bloodline rank of these nine main Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers was not high either, only high-rank bloodline.
“Hmm.”
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, took a step, and landed on the head of this Blackwater Flood Dragon.
Although he had given his Blackwater Flood Dragon Soldier Talisman to Lu Chensha.
But these Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers were all refined by him through the Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse, and they had an instinctive reverence for him and were under his control.
“Come here.”
Lu Changsheng lightly raised his hand, lifting his son Lu Chensha onto the head of this Blackwater Flood Dragon as well, preparing to test the power and effect of the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldier.
“Roar roar roar!”
The Blackwater Flood Dragon immediately let out a roar, its scales shimmering, and water mist surging around its body, as it sped towards the Bishui Lake.
“What is that?”
“A flood dragon, that’s a second-rank flood dragon!”
“When did our family get a second-rank flood dragon!?”
“It’s Father and Chensha!”
Many people on Biyun Peak heard the commotion and saw a majestic black flood dragon flying towards Bishui Lake, with two figures standing on its ferocious head, feeling very surprised.
“Besides the Nine Nether Mastiff guarding White Tiger Mountain, Bihu Mountain actually has a second-rank spiritual beast!?”
“Is this second-rank flood dragon the mount of Old Ancestor Lu?”
“What is Old Ancestor Lu going to do?”
The cultivators who came to Bihu Mountain to visit and attend the ceremony were all surprised, shocked, and envious when they saw this scene.
Although this kind of second-rank Dao Soldier was completely disregarded by Lu Changsheng and was purely for fun.
But for cultivators from other families, that was a second-rank great demon, a town-protecting spiritual beast!
Especially the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers, their appearance was quite good.
At this time, soaring high in the sky, if one didn’t look closely, they might really think it was some kind of Flood Dragon demonic beast with a Earth-rank bloodline.
“Roar roar roar—”
After the Blackwater Flood Dragon arrived above Bishui Lake, it immediately became much more excited, with dense water mist around its body, causing waves to surge in the lake below.
“Calm down.”
Lu Changsheng stepped on the flood dragon’s head with a displeased expression.
This Bishui Lake was his family’s property, and there were many spiritual fish raised in it. What if they were killed?
The Blackwater Flood Dragon whimpered and restrained its aura.
Subsequently, Lu Changsheng’s Bihu Mountain token appeared in his hand.
This token contained some formation restrictions and could operate the Bihu Mountain grand formation.
Lu Changsheng activated the second transformation of the Bihu Mountain grand formation, ‘Bishui Layered Flow’, through the token.
Water columns were seen rising from Bishui Lake, layered water mist spreading, covering the surroundings with a layer of clear blue water flow and hazy water mist, isolating this area.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng said to his son Lu Chensha: “Chensha, release all the other Dao Soldiers except for the few that are currently being promoted.”
As he spoke, in his Qi Sea Dantian, the Yin-Yang Great Dao Golden Core circulated around the Heavenly Yuan Treasure King Lotus, emitting brilliant multicolored light.
“Boom boom boom—”
As the Dantian rumbled, Lu Changsheng’s body revealed an aura of magic power from the “Black Dragon Code”.
This was the ‘Control of All Laws’ from the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture!
As long as he thoroughly comprehended the cultivation method, he could use the characteristics of the magic power and the Heavenly Yuan Treasure King Lotus to transform the Yin-Yang magic power into this kind of magic power.
At the same time, Lu Chensha released the remaining seventy-five Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers.
Immediately, large black flood dragon-serpents and dragon-fish were coiled around the vicinity.
These Dao Soldiers were all first-rank, with obvious differences in appearance.
But their overall color was similar, all dark black, and when lined up neatly, they still possessed an astonishing might.
“Dao Soldier Talisman.”
Lu Changsheng looked at his son and continued.
Lu Chensha didn’t ask further and quickly took out a palm-sized dark jade soldier talisman.
A Blackwater Flood Dragon that seemed to be soaring through the nine heavens was outlined on it.
He was unlike Lu Changsheng and did not cultivate the Black Dragon Code. Without the Dao Soldier Talisman, the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers would not obey orders on a daily basis.
“Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse, Blackwater Flood Dragon Battle Formation!”
Lu Changsheng took the token, looked at these Dao Soldiers, and formed hand seals.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
These seventy-five Dao Soldiers immediately began to line up neatly, and the Blackwater Flood Dragon Curse within their bodies automatically circulated.
“Boom boom boom—”
In an instant, the Qi mechanisms of these first-rank Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers and the second-rank Blackwater Flood Dragon beneath Lu Changsheng’s feet merged, causing the demonic power of all the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers to converge, gradually forming a massive flood dragon phantom.
This flood dragon phantom was five to six zhang tall, very solid, and exuded a terrifying aura of a mid-second rank.
“This…”
Lu Chensha’s expression was surprised, doubtful, and horrified when he saw this scene.
He had always known that his father was very extraordinary, definitely not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator!
But seeing his father’s methods with his own eyes at this moment was still incredibly shocking.
Especially this enormous flood dragon phantom, which made him feel small and weak, with a sense of trembling in his heart.
“It is rumored that some profound and exquisite cultivation methods can allow the Dao Soldiers raised to form a great formation, and the great formation can also empower oneself, increasing strength.”
“Could this be Father’s innate Dao Soldier!?”
Lu Chensha speculated in his heart.
The cultivation method ‘Beast Art’ he cultivated also contained methods for raising Dao Soldiers, but he couldn’t access them yet.
“Not bad.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the flood dragon phantom and nodded slightly.
No wonder True Person Qingluan could directly contend with a late-stage Golden Core cultivator in the early stage of Golden Core.
His small troop of Dao Soldiers could allow an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to fight a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
If he had five hundred Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers, he might be able to directly kill a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator as an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, or even directly strike at a pseudo-Golden Core!
Considering that his own grand formation could only provide simple concealment, Lu Changsheng did not test the attack of this flood dragon phantom too much, and continued to form hand seals, performing another technique.
“Roar!”
The flood dragon phantom roared, dispersed into ethereal light, and coiled around Lu Changsheng.
In an instant, a ferocious black dragon armor slowly condensed on Lu Changsheng’s green robe.
Various runes were inscribed on it, and there was a terrifying shoulder guard on each side of the shoulders, resembling a black dragon head.
These two black dragon heads seemed alive, their vertical pupils were dark gold, and dragon breath seemed to be exhaling from their nostrils and mouths, making it seem as if a black dragon was coiled around Lu Changsheng’s body, making him look cold, majestic, like a high and mighty emperor.
Lu Chensha, who was beside him, felt a sense of suffocation when he saw his father’s appearance.
Even though Lu Changsheng was just experiencing it and did not reveal any trace of his magic power aura to him.
But the effect of the Black Dragon Code cultivation method, like dragon might, made Lu Chensha’s body tense, his heart pounding ’thump thump thump’, as if he wanted to prostrate himself in worship.
This was not pressure from cultivation level or aura.
It was pressure from the mind and will!
It was like the natural suppression of bloodline rank between demonic beasts!
“Go to Xuanfu Peak later and get more accustomed to the aura of the Dragon Blood Tree!”
Seeing his son’s appearance, Lu Changsheng spoke.
His 평범한 voice now carried a bit more undeniable authority.
“Yes, Father!”
Hearing this, Lu Chensha immediately understood that his performance had made his father somewhat dissatisfied, and he quickly circulated the ‘Beast Art’ and straightened his body with effort.
“Now that I have safely broken through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, with this troop of Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers, I can fight against late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators even without using the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.”
“When all nine Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers are promoted to the second rank, coupled with my quasi-third rank body refinement, I should be able to directly contend with, and even suppress, pseudo-Golden Core cultivators like Sima Tong.”
Lu Changsheng mused in his heart.
Through simple testing, he had a detailed understanding of the effect of his Dao Soldiers.
For him, they were certainly of no help.
But for his children who cultivated the “Black Dragon Code” at home, they were a considerable force.
Even if his children had just broken through to Foundation Establishment, as long as they commanded this troop of Dao Soldiers, they could directly contend with late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
If they encountered incompetent Foundation Establishment cultivators, they might even be able to kill them directly.
“Alright, take these Dao Soldiers back.”
“These Dao Soldiers that have been promoted to the second rank can be cultivated normally from now on, no need to spend too many resources on them.”
The black dragon armor on Lu Changsheng’s body slowly dissipated, and he said to his son Lu Chensha.
Cultivating Dao Soldiers was very resource-intensive.
In the past few decades, the resources he had spent on the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers amounted to hundreds of thousands.
If he wanted to continue cultivating them to third-rank Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers, the resources required would be simply incalculable.
Moreover, things like Dao Soldiers, even if you poured money into them, were very time-consuming!
Furthermore, the foundation of these Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers was indeed average.
Now that they had been promoted to the second rank, it would be very difficult for them to be promoted to the third rank.
It would be simpler to wait until later to find some flood dragon cubs with Earth-rank bloodline, or even Heaven-rank bloodline, refine them into Dao Soldiers, and then cultivate them.
“Yes, Father.”
Lu Chensha responded respectfully.
As a Beast Tamer, he naturally knew how resource-intensive it was to cultivate spiritual beasts and Dao Soldiers.
These resources were enough to cultivate multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators!
“I wonder how much stronger this troop of my Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers is compared to the Water Serpent Dao Soldiers of the Xu Family of Beast Taming.”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of the two famous troops of Dao Soldiers of the Xu Family of Beast Taming in Jiang Kingdom.
Water Serpent Dao Soldiers!
Fire Crow Dao Soldiers!
In Lu Changsheng’s opinion, he would likely be unavoidable from having a confrontation with the Xu family in the future.
One reason was the small grudges between the two families.
Another reason was that the Qingyun Region likely couldn’t accommodate two Golden Core families!
“After Honglian is born, I can let her cultivate a troop of fire-element Dao Soldiers. If we really have a confrontation in the future, a clash of Dao Soldiers would be interesting.”
Lu Changsheng chuckled softly, musing in his heart.
Honglian had several methods for raising fire-element Dao Soldiers in her possession.
It was just that cultivating Dao Soldiers was truly troublesome and complex, and it cost money and time, so Lu Changsheng had only cultivated the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers.
Now that the family is much wealthier, Lu Changsheng is willing to spend money to have Honglian cultivate one or two squads of Dao soldiers to increase the family’s foundation, rather than spending his own time and energy.
He activated the mountain master token and closed the ‘Clear Water Layer Flow’ effect of the grand formation.
Lu Changsheng rode the Blackwater Flood Dragon, bringing Lu Chensha back to Biyun Peak.
“What happened just now?”
“Was Mountain Master Lu demonstrating his power just now?”
Many people looked at Lu Changsheng on the flood dragon’s head with respectful and awestruck expressions.
Although the formation had concealed and shielded the aura just now,
some cultivators near the Lakeside Villa still faintly felt a terrifying aura.
“Daddy, Daddy!”
As soon as Lu Changsheng returned to Biyun Peak and dismounted the Blackwater Flood Dragon, his daughters Lu Linghe, Lu Qingqi, and a few other little ones gathered around, looking at him with flattering expressions.
“Chensha, take your younger siblings to play around, go for a few laps.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Although many of the children in the family had ridden spirit boats and Iron Feather Eagles,
riding a flood dragon was indeed a different experience.
After all, many handscrolls, ancient books, and storybooks contained tales of riding dragons and phoenixes.
“If the remaining Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao soldiers are promoted to second tier, having nine dragons pull a carriage would be much more impressive than the Xu family’s Wind and Thunder Steeds back then.”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng recalled the scene from the Purple Nether Secret Realm years ago, when the Beast Taming Xu family’s pseudo-core ancestor used nine Wind and Thunder Steeds to pull a spirit ship, which was incredibly grand.
Although his family’s Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao soldiers were far inferior to the opponent’s Wind and Thunder Steeds in terms of combat power and speed,
in terms of grandeur and momentum, they were truly not bad, even surpassing them in many ways.
“Yun’er, Zhenzhen, if you want to play, I’ll take you to experience it later tonight.”
Lu Changsheng saw Lu Miaoyun and others also looking at the Blackwater Flood Dragon and said with a smile.
During dinner that evening, Lu Changsheng saw his son Lu Ping’an and instructed him, “Ping’an, you should spend more time studying the Dao soldier secret techniques and battle formation methods in the ‘Black Dragon Dharma Canon’.”
Although this squad of Dao soldiers can be passed down,
currently, in the Lu family, besides Lu Changsheng, only Lu Ping’an can use them and unleash their full effect.
“Yes, Father.”
Lu Ping’an nodded in response.
Six days later, Lu Wangshu’s Foundation Establishment ceremony was about to begin.
Lu Wangshu, the main person concerned, finally returned to Bihu Mountain from Huaguo Mountain.
Since Lu Changsheng planned to have his son Lu Ping’an appear at the ceremony, Xia Zhiyue had not yet returned and was still stationed at Huaguo Mountain.
“Well, well, Lu Chensha, you didn’t even bring me along with such a good thing!”
Lu Wangshu saw that her family had acquired a flood dragon while she was away guarding and immediately exclaimed.
“Sister Wangshu, this is the Blackwater Dragon Snake from before. It was only promoted to the second tier a few days ago and can now fly.”
Lu Chensha explained.
“Let me play with it.”
Lu Wangshu looked at the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao soldier before her with a curious expression and said.
Immediately, Lu Chensha gave Lu Wangshu the Blackwater Flood Dragon military talisman and told her how to control it roughly.
A moment later, at Bihu Lake.
Lu Wangshu was riding on the head of the second-tier Blackwater Flood Dragon.
Beside her, Lu Chensha, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingqi, Lu Linghe, Lu Qingli, and others were riding Blackwater Dragon Fish, having a great time.
“Hiss, the colors of these spirit beasts are somewhat similar. Could it be that the Lu family is cultivating Dao soldiers!?”
A Foundation Establishment ancestor saw this scene and guessed in his heart, filled with surprise and doubt.
Although the name of Dao soldiers was known to many,
besides the Four Great Immortal Sects and Core Formation families like the Beast Taming Xu family, no other force cultivated them.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to cultivate them.
On one hand, they lacked the legacy of cultivating soldiers.
On the other hand, they also lacked the ability and financial resources.
Everyone knew that the resources required to cultivate a squad of Dao soldiers were an astronomical figure!
Let alone a Foundation Establishment family.
Even for a Core Formation family, it was a considerable burden!
“Although Bihu Mountain cannot afford to cultivate Dao soldiers, it is very likely that they have some kind of Dao soldier legacy!”
“Now that Ancestor Lu is backed by Qingyun Sect and Caiyun Peak, and his family has prodigies like Lu Ping’an and Lu Wangshu, it is likely that they will truly become a Core Formation family in the future!”
“The Bihu Mountain Lu family is simply terrifying!”
Many Foundation Establishment ancestors who came to offer congratulations felt emotional in their hearts, marveling at Bihu Mountain’s strength, foundation, and potential.
“Lu Wangshu!”
Lu Lingxiao heard that Lu Wangshu had returned and immediately found his older sister, wanting to spar with her.
He knew Lu Wangshu’s record at the Hongye Valley market and that he was not her match, but he still wanted to see the gap between them.
After a long time.
“Lu Lingxiao, work hard, and be more respectful to your sister on a daily basis, understand?”
Lu Wangshu, dressed in a pink and white dress, with a bright and charming face, smiled and patted her younger brother’s shoulder.
She thought to herself that it was a good thing she had the Profound Origin Bead given by her father.
Otherwise, facing Lu Lingxiao, she would have had to use talismans and talisman soldiers.
“Got it, Sister Wangshu.”
Lu Lingxiao’s mouth twitched, and he called out with a straight face.
He hadn’t expected the gap between himself and Lu Wangshu to be so large; he hadn’t even forced her to use her talisman array methods.
However, he wasn’t discouraged. He had come this time precisely to see the difference between them.
He planned to find Lu Wangshu to spar again after acquiring his lifebound spiritual artifact and mastering the Foundation Establishment art!
Five days later, Lu Wangshu’s Foundation Establishment ceremony officially began.
However, for all the guests, this ceremony was not only Lu Wangshu’s Foundation Establishment ceremony but also the pseudo-core ceremony of the Lu family’s eldest son, Lu Ping’an, and the talisman master ceremony of the Lu family’s ancestor, Lu Changsheng!
Therefore, this ceremony was very grand.
Every representative of a force or individual rogue cultivator who came to attend the ceremony and offer congratulations would present a congratulatory gift.
Even many small Qi Refining families and forces that had not been invited proactively prepared a gift and came to Bihu Mountain to offer congratulations.
After all, for these small families and forces, this was an opportunity.
If they could get a familiar face by giving gifts and attach themselves to the Lu family, it would be worth any cost.
“From Lingxi Lake, the Fifth Elder of the Xie family offers congratulations, presenting three stalks of Foundation Establishment precious medicine and one top-grade spiritual artifact!”
“From Yanyu Market, Market Master Yan offers congratulations, presenting one second-tier demon core!”
“From Qingzhu Mountain, Ancestor Lu offers congratulations, presenting ten stalks of碧玉宝竹 (Jade Bamboo)!”
Generally, the higher the cultivation and the larger the force behind them, the more generous the congratulatory gift.
However, this kind of thing is a matter of social etiquette.
In the future, when these forces hold ceremonies, the Lu family will also have to give gifts in return.
“Such a ceremony is truly grand.”
“It seems it was thirty-nine years ago. At that time, the Bihu Mountain Lu family was established, and I came with my ancestor to attend the ceremony. I didn’t expect Bihu Mountain to be promoted to a pseudo-core family now!”
“I knew early on that the Bihu Mountain Lu family would rise, but I didn’t expect them to rise so quickly.”
“Alas, back then, the Luo family had a direct daughter who was favored by Ancestor Lu and taken as a concubine, which caused the Luo family to rise rapidly over the years, with two Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators guarding it. Unfortunately, ordinary women no longer catch Ancestor Lu’s eye.”
Many guests heard these congratulatory gifts, looked at the coming and going Foundation Establishment cultivators, and exchanged whispers, filled with emotion.
These forces that frequently interacted with Bihu Mountain were particularly emotional.
They had witnessed the establishment and rise of the Bihu Mountain Lu family.
But no one expected that in the blink of an eye, Bihu Mountain would grow to such an extent and become a behemoth.
For example, Bai Yunyang, the ancestor of the Bai family from Bainaio Lake, looked at the scenes before him, feeling somewhat in a trance.
When Lu Changsheng attacked Bihu Mountain back then, he had also helped.
Now, more than thirty years later, his Bainaio Lake still only had him as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
And Bihu Mountain, on the surface, already had nine Foundation Establishment cultivators, a world of difference!
It wasn’t that his Bai family had developed poorly.
In thirty-nine years, following Bihu Mountain and relying on the Hongye Valley market, his Bai family’s strength had almost doubled compared to before.
But which family developed like Bihu Mountain?
Hong Yi also came to Bihu Mountain to offer congratulations.
Looking at the scene before him, he was filled with emotion.
Sixty years ago, if someone had told him that Lu Changsheng could grow to this extent in the future, he wouldn’t have believed it even if he was beaten to death.
He felt incredibly fortunate in his heart to know Lu Changsheng and to be able to befriend him.
“If I can see Xuanji establish his foundation, I, Hong Yi, will have no regrets in this life.”
Hong Yi thought of how his son, Hong Xuanji, had told him a few days ago that he was preparing to attempt Foundation Establishment.
The reason was simple: his wife, Lu Caizhen, had obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill for him.
When he heard this, Hong Yi felt as if he was dreaming, thinking he was hallucinating.
After all, Foundation Establishment Pills were precious.
Even though he had many years of friendship with Lu Changsheng, he didn’t dare to ask for this Foundation Establishment Pill.
Now, the other party had actually taken the initiative to give his son an opportunity.
Although he felt that his son’s chances of Foundation Establishment were not high,
he still took out all his family’s savings and let him purchase Foundation Establishment spiritual materials to prepare well.
Lu Changsheng merely went through the motions for this ceremony.
The main appearances were by Lu Ping’an, Lu Wangshu, and Lu Xingyang.
Since Lu Miaoge had mentioned before that she would offer a few third-tier talismans as prizes at this ceremony,
Lu Changsheng also took out the five prepared third-tier low-grade talismans for a simple auction.
The enthusiasm of the Foundation Establishment cultivators present exceeded Lu Changsheng’s expectations, with each third-tier talisman being auctioned for a high price of ten thousand spirit stones.
However, out of the five third-tier talismans, besides two that were purely for the highest bid in spirit stones, the other three were exchanged for spirit stones plus other items.
This made Lu Changsheng realize that this item was sometimes more useful than a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Or rather, Foundation Establishment Pills were only needed by most families and forces.
Whereas third-tier talismans were needed by both families, forces, and rogue cultivators.
Especially the group of rogue cultivators who risked their lives, adventuring and exploring secret realms everywhere.
“Everyone, please rest assured, our Bihu Mountain Lu family will still adhere to the development path of harmonious coexistence and mutual prosperity, and will not actively become enemies with any family or force.”
After the ceremony was almost finished, Lu Changsheng spoke.
Although everyone knew that such words wouldn’t be taken seriously and fully believed,
with Bihu Mountain’s current strength and reputation at their peak, Ancestor Lu’s words still carried some weight.
This is why the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce had just been established and was not even fully built yet, when a group of forces were already willing to voluntarily join and form a commercial alliance.
However, Lu Changsheng did not concern himself with this aspect and let Lu Xingyang and others handle the arrangements.
After all, he only provided the general direction for the family; the specific tasks were left to his children, and he had no leisure to worry about them.
However, facing the enthusiasm of numerous families and forces, Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and still accepted five maidservants as a gesture of goodwill to the outside world.
After the ceremony ended, Lu Changsheng continued to stay at home, accompanying his wives and children, occasionally crafting talismans, teaching Li Xingruo alchemy, and making babies!
Half a month later.
【Congratulations to the host! Your first offspring has become a second-tier spiritual plant master, and you have received one drawing opportunity!】
“Second-tier spiritual plant master?”
Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, not immediately knowing which of his children had been promoted to a second-tier spiritual plant master.
Because the path of spiritual plants was the simplest among the hundred arts of cultivation, many of his children followed this path.
“It should be Xingyue, right?”
Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and felt that his daughter Lu Xingyue was more likely.
Although there were several children in the family who were top-tier spiritual plant masters,
either their cultivation was a bit low, or they had just been promoted recently, only his daughter Lu Xingyue met the conditions.
Moreover, a few days ago, Lu Xingyue had been preparing to cultivate divine sense before establishing her foundation, and then attempt Foundation Establishment.
Having divine sense would be of great help to this kind of skill.
Lu Changsheng didn’t pay too much attention and silently said in his heart: “System, draw.”
A light red large turntable appeared, and the golden light began to rotate.
A moment later, the golden light stopped on the ‘Magic Treasure’ section.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the magic treasure: Formless Treasure Wheel!】
【The reward has been sent to the system space, and the host can view it at any time.】
A treasure wheel, transparent like crystal, emitting a faint golden luster, and carved with ancient patterns, emerged from the large turntable, accompanied by a system prompt sound.
