Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 496: The emperor’s art of observing qi is unmatched!
The Land family manor.
Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu listened to the various events of the family over the years, filled with emotions.
However, upon hearing the news of their maternal grandfather Lu Yuanding’s passing, their expressions turned sorrowful.
The last time they returned, they knew that their maternal grandfather’s life was nearing its end, and it might be their last meeting.
Now, hearing the news of their maternal grandfather’s death, they couldn’t help but feel grief.
After all, in their childhood, the two siblings were almost entirely raised by Lu Yuanding, who showered them with affection.
“I will go with you to Green Bamboo Mountain later to pay respects to your maternal grandfather.”
Lu Miaoge gently patted her daughter, whose eyes were slightly red, and said softly.
“Yes.”
Lu Qingshan nodded in a deep voice, inquiring about the current situation of Green Bamboo Mountain.
“Green Bamboo Mountain has been doing well these years.”
The development of Green Bamboo Mountain naturally couldn’t compare with that of Azure Lake Mountain.
However, compared to most Foundation Establishment families, such as Hundred Bird Lake, it was already quite good.
In the early years, the newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivator Lu Chenghua led a portion of the Lu family disciples to expand outwards, heading to the territory of the御灵宗 (Yuling Sect) to establish roots and open a branch family.
Although the family head Lu Yuanzhong is old and has retreated behind the scenes, the family has accumulated a lot of resources over the years and can cultivate new Foundation Establishment cultivators at any time.
However, with Lu Muping sitting in Green Bamboo Mountain and the relationship with Azure Lake Mountain, they are not in a hurry to cultivate Foundation Establishment cultivators, planning to wait for a genius in the family who is expected to form a Core before considering it.
After all, what Green Bamboo Mountain needs now is to take a further step and cultivate a Lu family disciple who is expected to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, or even Pseudo-Core.
If there are only one or two more ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, it would be of little significance and might even become a burden.
Lu Qingshan nodded upon hearing this.
His maternal grandfather always had the family in his heart, and during their last conversation, he also hoped that he could help out in the future.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan seemed to think of something and asked, “By the way, Aunt, is Ruyi at home?”
“Ruyi is currently responsible for the family’s Chamber of Commerce affairs and is away for a long time. What’s wrong?”
Lu Miaoge was gentle and dignified, with a temperament like water.
“Didn’t Sister Ruyi give me a sword embryo before? So, I’ve prepared some things for her on this trip back.”
Lu Qingshan smiled and said.
“Ruyi won’t be back for a while. If you’re not in a hurry, I’ll ask Ruyi where she is later, and you can give it to her in person.”
“If it’s not convenient, you can also leave it at home, and I’ll have someone send it to Ruyi when the time comes.”
Lu Miaoge said gently.
“I’ll go there later. I also want to see what the family’s Chamber of Commerce looks like.”
“Besides, I don’t have anything to do. I can stay with Little Zhu’er for a longer time on this trip. If there’s anything the family needs, you can call me.”
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Hearing about the family’s development over the years, he knew that there would be many obstacles in the process, and he was willing to contribute to the family’s prestige.
“Okay.”
Lu Miaoge smiled softly, “The family banquet is almost ready. After dinner, you can rest, and we’ll go to Green Bamboo Mountain later.”
Although it was a simple welcome reception.
Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaoyun still called all the Lu family disciples from Azure Lake Mountain.
On the one hand, the Lu family often organizes family banquets regularly to allow siblings to meet more often and exchange feelings.
On the other hand, it was also to let Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu get to know the other Lu family disciples.
“Hmm?”
Lu Lingxiao came forward, and when he saw Lu Qingshan, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his pupils showed a faint golden luster.
Although his Dragon’s Roar Physique was flawed and his physical body was ordinary, his eyes had a bit more divine power, and the effect of cultivating pupil techniques was very amazing.
Ordinary cultivators could not disguise themselves in front of him at all, and he could see through them at a glance.
Even some Nascent Soul cultivators’ aura concealment techniques could be seen through by him with some flaws.
At the moment of seeing Lu Qingshan, he immediately saw a shocking sword intent of unparalleled sharpness!
This sword intent was very amazing.
Sharp, vigorous, and unstoppable, no one could resist it.
Looking at Lu Qingshan like this, his eyes even had a bit of stinging pain.
“This…”
Lu Lingxiao was surprised.
He hadn’t been staying at home all these years and had met many people outside.
He had never seen anyone with Lu Qingshan’s sword intent aura.
“Hmm?”
Lu Qingshan’s sword heart was clear, and he felt something, noticing Lu Lingxiao.
After meeting his pupils with a faint golden luster, his sword eyebrows raised slightly.
He didn’t have much impression of Lu Lingxiao.
At this moment, when the two looked at each other, they immediately saw that Lu Lingxiao was very unusual.
If he was placed in the Golden Sun Sect, he would at least belong to the level of a core disciple.
He couldn’t help but think to himself that his family’s talent rate seemed to be a bit too high.
“Lingxiao, you should have met, this is your Brother Qingshan, Sister Qingzhu.”
Lu Miaoyun introduced them to each other with a smile.
Both of them were geniuses of the Lu family, and in her opinion, they should naturally be closer.
“I have met Brother Qingshan, Sister Qingzhu.”
Lu Lingxiao knew the two of them, and he cupped his hands slightly, but he didn’t have much intention of getting close.
His personality was somewhat similar to his mother, Ling Zixiao, lonely and arrogant.
Among the entire Lu family disciples, the person he was closest to was still his sister, Lu Wangshu, who he had always been at odds with, like a mortal enemy.
“Lu Lingxiao…”
Lu Qingshan recited the name and smiled, “You are very good.”
From Lu Qingshan’s plain words with a smile, Lu Lingxiao heard a bit of condescending arrogance, and he asked, “I heard that Brother Qingshan is the number one in the Golden Sun Sect.”
“I can only be considered the number one in the same rank, but I can’t be considered the number one in the Golden Sun Sect.”
Lu Qingshan smiled.
Although he won the first place in the Sword Trial during the Qi Refining stage, and now he is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and can kill the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
But facing the few top Foundation Establishment true disciples of the Golden Sun Sect, he is still not an opponent, so he can’t be called the number one.
However, in his opinion, these are just a matter of time.
“Number one in the same rank…”
Lu Lingxiao’s eyes with golden luster narrowed slightly, knowing the weight of these words.
As one of the five great immortal sects of the Yue Kingdom, Lu Qingshan’s ability to be ranked number one in the same rank is beyond doubt.
Moreover, Lu Qingshan also overpowered the invincible in the same rank in the Heavenly Sword Sect back then.
“I wonder if Brother Qingshan can spar with me and give me some pointers.”
Lu Lingxiao’s face had distinct angles, and his eyebrows were heroic and upright.
He had always wanted to find someone to hone himself.
But among the family’s peers, Lu Pingan couldn’t be beaten, Lu Wangshu couldn’t be beaten, losing repeatedly, and the others were not his opponents.
These two years, he and Lu Wangshu had been running around outside, and even some Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators had been defeated by him.
Now that he met Lu Qingshan, he naturally wanted to spar with him.
“Later then.”
Lu Qingshan raised the corner of his mouth.
Geniuses are always arrogant.
This younger brother’s strength is estimated to be difficult to find an opponent among the family’s peers.
Under such circumstances, it is very normal to be a little arrogant.
Since this is the case, he, as an older brother, will let him gain some knowledge and know that there are people beyond people, and there is heaven beyond heaven.
Jin State.
Five Poison Sect, a hundred miles away.
Lu Changsheng landed from the Golden Winged Roc and activated the communication talisman with Nangong Mili.
Thinking that Nangong Mili should take some time to come, Lu Changsheng looked at the two rewards in his system space.
“Great Wilderness Dragon Spine…”
Lu Changsheng first looked at the Great Wilderness Dragon Spine he had drawn before.
This dragon bone is somewhat similar to the natal treasure bone of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, and its effect is very practical.
It is necessary to refine it, but it must have a third-order body refinement to bear it.
Currently, in the family, he is the only one who meets the refining conditions of this Great Wilderness Dragon Spine.
“Forget it, let’s put it aside first.”
Although Lu Changsheng felt that this Great Wilderness Dragon Spine was good, he didn’t have many ideas.
After the previous battle with Ghost Bat Zhenren, he deeply realized that what he needs now is speed and methods of sealing and confinement!
This Great Wilderness Dragon Spine mainly enhances the physical strength and defense, which is not of much help to him.
The other is boundless paternal love.
With such a good thing, he, as a father, naturally thought of his children in the family first, such as his son Lu Pingan.
Lu Pingan is currently a quasi-third-order body refinement. If the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique breaks through the ninth level and refines this Great Wilderness Dragon Spine, then his combat power will directly increase by one level!
Moreover, giving it to Lu Pingan, in addition to the fact that the other party is more suitable, also has some other considerations.
Lu PingAn, as his eldest son and the pillar of the family, really couldn’t keep up with the growth rate of the other talented children in the family without some advantages.
People like Lu QuanZhen, Lu QingShan, Lu LingXiao, and even his daughter Lu WangShu, all had a sense of arrogance in their bones.
In this situation, it was a good thing to have Lu PingAn, a generous and kind eldest brother, keeping them in check.
“However, PingAn only recently broke through the Hundred Refinements Body Technique, so it won’t be easy for him to break through to the ninth level.”
Lu ChangSheng shook his head, planning to call Lu PingAn back and give him more medicinal baths after he returned this time.
Then, he looked at the Law Seed in the system space—Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation—and his mind stirred slightly.
Immediately, a pale golden, thumb-sized ball of light, flowing with dragon-shaped energy, appeared in his hand.
This Law Seed was somewhat similar to ‘Sword Soaring to the Dipper’.
It could elevate talent, lengthen the six senses, change temperament, improve quality, and remedy deficiencies.
After use, not only would one’s cultivation talent be improved by one level, but one would also gain many insights into fighting techniques, and a growth-type innate divine ability—the Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation technique.
This divine ability could observe mountains, rivers, and earth veins, see flaws in divine power techniques, and the flow of mana and energy.
After fusing with the Law Seed to a certain extent, one could even discern the weaknesses and flaws of others, thereby interfering with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, affecting the other party’s mana operation, and achieving murder with a smile!
This was very astonishing.
One must know that if the operation of a technique or divine ability is suddenly interrupted or interfered with, it is easy to fall into a dangerous situation.
“This Law Seed’s effect is a bit too powerful.”
Lu ChangSheng was amazed in his heart.
In his opinion, compared to the single effect of ‘Sword Soaring to the Dipper’, which only improved sword Dao talent, this ‘Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation’ had a much better effect.
Not only did it improve talent and fighting experience, but learning the various immortal cultivation arts would also be twice as effective.
In particular, the Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation divine ability could observe mountains, rivers, and the flow of heaven and earth spiritual energy, making it easy to learn geomancy and dragon-seeking techniques.
“However, why do these Law Seeds have such a strong aftereffect?”
Lu ChangSheng frowned.
Like ‘Sword Soaring to the Dipper’, fusing with this Law Seed required a compatible temperament, and one’s personality would be subtly influenced.
Sword Soaring to the Dipper would gradually make one’s character unyielding, fearless, brave, and diligent.
This Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation would gradually make one domineering and self-centered.
Even when facing cultivators far superior to oneself, one would be calm and composed, regarding them as mere weeds, and confident in one’s own invincibility.
Therefore, to fuse with this Law Seed, one’s temperament must be forward-looking, with a calm and domineering attitude of invincibility!
If one’s temperament is timid and shrinking, and one becomes discouraged after experiencing some failures and setbacks, then one will clash with this Law Seed, with no effect, and even affect oneself.
“Alas, this kind of personality is more likely to be beaten to death. Are there no Law Seeds suitable for a more relaxed life?”
Lu ChangSheng shook his head secretly.
If there were no influence on temperament, he would think this Law Seed was very good, even very suitable for himself.
But with the temperament requirement, he could only go home and find a son or daughter.
However, as long as the temperament is compatible, once fused, the effect may not be weaker than a top-grade spiritual body!
After putting the Law Seed into the storage ring, Lu ChangSheng continued to wait for Nangong MiLi.
Half an hour later.
A purple escape light shot from the direction of Five Poison Mountain.
“What’s the matter?”
Nangong MiLi looked at Lu ChangSheng, coldly and indifferently.
She had been recuperating in the Five Poison Sect these days and did not know about Lu ChangSheng’s trip to the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect.
Moreover, Lu ChangSheng had just rushed back from the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect, and the news had not yet spread.
“MiLi, don’t be so cold.”
Lu ChangSheng looked at Nangong MiLi, who was wearing a purple and gorgeous dress, with a beautiful and enchanting face, skin like frost and snow, and a breathtaking figure, and said with a smile.
“Just say what you have to say.”
Nangong MiLi said coldly.
Although her attitude towards Lu ChangSheng had changed, she still did not have a good expression.
“I went to the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect.”
Lu ChangSheng said directly.
The other party knew about the Golden-Winged Roc.
As long as the news spread, she would be able to guess that Yangming Zhenren was himself, so he did not hide it.
Moreover, with the matter of his daughter Nangong YaoYao, the woman in front of him had softened her attitude a lot and was trustworthy.
“Huh!?”
Nangong MiLi’s dark and deep phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she immediately realized that Lu ChangSheng’s mana aura was somewhat disordered.
“Are you injured?”
She frowned slightly and landed beside Lu ChangSheng.
Although Lu ChangSheng’s combat power was very amazing, he easily suppressed the Wind Centipede Envoy before.
But it was still somewhat dangerous to go to the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect to demand an explanation.
“It’s just that the consumption was a bit large.”
Lu ChangSheng shook his head with a smile, and then said seriously: “I have already resolved QuanZhen’s matter on this trip to the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect, but I have also formed a feud with the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect.”
“Currently, the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect does not know my identity information, but I have been in the Sky Spider Workshop Market these days, and I am worried that the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect will investigate you.”
Lu ChangSheng said.
“No need to care.”
Nangong MiLi’s beautiful eyes were cold and said directly.
As a Core Formation Zhenren of the Five Poison Sect, she was naturally not afraid of the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect.
Moreover, her status in the Five Poison Sect had risen with the matter of her daughter Nangong YaoYao becoming a disciple of the White Lotus True Lord.
Even if the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect knew that she had a relationship with Lu ChangSheng, they would not do anything to her.
“I’m also preparing to go back after being out for so long.”
Lu ChangSheng looked at her beautiful and enchanting face, sighed, and said softly.
Nangong MiLi was stunned, and for some reason, a bit of reluctance welled up in her heart.
But she still nodded with a cold expression: “Yes.”
After a pause, she looked at Lu ChangSheng again and continued: “If you need to recuperate and heal your injuries, you can temporarily recuperate in the Five Poison Sect, the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect will not come.”
“YaoYao has been accepted as a disciple by the White Lotus True Lord, even if the Sect Leader knows about your identity in the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect, he will not do anything to you.”
Nangong MiLi looked at Lu ChangSheng and said so.
“I’m fine, and with the Golden Roc, it won’t affect anything.”
Lu ChangSheng smiled.
Without his daughter’s help, it was really not easy to completely melt this woman.
He could have been a little tougher before.
But now that the relationship between the two had improved, he naturally couldn’t do that again.
“Yes.”
Nangong MiLi nodded, her beautiful and enchanting face was cold and noble, and very moving.
Lu ChangSheng looked at the cold Nangong MiLi, sighed helplessly, reached out to hold her white jade hand, and said softly: “MiLi, you can come back to Green Lake Mountain with me.”
Jin State and Jiang State were far away, and even with the Golden-Winged Roc, he could not come over often.
He naturally knew that Nangong MiLi wanted to warm her Golden Core through him, and he was willing to warm her Golden Core and increase the relationship between the two.
But this kind of thing was a long-term job.
If he relied on himself to come to Jin State once or twice occasionally, he was afraid that it would take the year of the monkey to make Nangong MiLi advance to the Golden Core.
So he was also willing for Nangong MiLi to stay in Jiang State for a while.
“No.”
Nangong MiLi refused directly.
Even if she accepted Lu ChangSheng a bit in her heart, she could not live with the other party in a big family.
Moreover, she had obtained a lot of resources from the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm and the matter of her daughter Nangong YaoYao, which could allow her to cultivate to the peak of the sixth level of Core Formation.
“I’m going back this time, I don’t know when I’ll see you again next time.”
“You are only barely at the half-step Golden Core now. If you want to break through to the late stage of Core Formation as soon as possible, you still need to advance to the top-grade Golden Core as soon as possible, so that we can also go to see YaoYao conveniently.”
Lu ChangSheng continued.
