Chapter 501: Dao embryo pill, Qingmu spirit body!

Heavenly Origin Treasure Emperor Lotus.

In the simple and antique side hall, spring permeated the air, and the purple-gold incense burner by the bed burned with wisps of sandalwood.

Lu Changsheng embraced the exquisite and graceful body of the beauty in his arms, feeling comfortable, refreshed, and exhilarated.

Dual cultivation could not only heal injuries but also benefit the body and mind, relieve fatigue, and soothe the soul.

“Qingyi, you smell so good.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the fairy with flushed cheeks, her skin as smooth as cream between his fingers, constantly changing like white clouds and grey dogs.

“…”

Chu Qingyi’s cheeks were flushed, and she pursed her lips without speaking.

This man, when dual cultivating, always had to say something to tease her.

And how did this man look like he was injured at the core?

However, she had realized earlier that he was being a rogue, so she didn’t feel any blame.

She just sighed inwardly, if things continued like this, she would truly be in an ambiguous relationship with this man…

“With your help, Qingyi, I’m much better. If I do it a few more times in the coming days, I should be completely healed.”

Lu Changsheng continued.

“Ah?”

Chu Qingyi’s beautiful face froze, her delicate body stiffened slightly, and she stared at Lu Changsheng with wide eyes.

She didn’t expect this man to be so thick-skinned.

He could actually say such serious words about healing.

After a long silence, Chu Qingyi said in a low voice, “Fellow Daoist Lu is a man of heavenly appearance, why be so fixated on this?”

“Because I fell in love with Qingyi at first sight and simply can’t let go. Only by doing this can I advance our relationship until I truly possess you.”

Lu Changsheng said with a frank expression.

Chu Qingyi was silent.

Even though she had known his intentions for a long time.

But hearing Lu Changsheng say it so directly, she couldn’t help but feel a flutter in her heart.

“Beauty, male and female, is not conducive to cultivation, and moreover, physical appearance and sensual pleasures can disturb desires and confuse the mind. Fellow Daoist Lu should be able to see through this.”

She lowered her head slightly, wanting to continue persuading Lu Changsheng.

Back in Great Dream Immortal City, she had said similar things to Lu Changsheng.

It was just that when she said it now, a few inexplicable emotions welled up in her heart.

“Hehe, haven’t I told you, Qingyi? I’m just a common person, I can’t see through it, and I don’t want to see through it.”

Lu Changsheng said with a carefree expression.

“If… if Qingyi were an ugly woman, would Fellow Daoist Lu be able to see through it?”

After a moment of silence, Chu Qingyi raised her head slightly and said.

“?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, looked at the beauty in his arms, gently pinched her chin, and examined her ordinary-looking face after the disguise.

Then he said, “Like Qingyi, even if she were an ugly woman, she would still be of peerless grace.”

“Furthermore, such a hypothesis is meaningless. When I first saw Qingyi, I was already in love.”

Although these words were a bit false.

But female cultivators like Chu Qingyi had a transcendent charm about them, which elevated her beauty by several levels out of thin air.

Of course, if she were truly an ugly woman, Lu Changsheng felt it would be hard to say.

He might have helped her out of consideration for Yun Wanshang and Xiao Xiyue’s relationship.

But it would probably be difficult to risk his life to save her and be so proactive afterwards.

“Indeed, I still cannot avoid the mundane.”

After consulting his heart, Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Then he smiled at Chu Qingyi and said, “What, didn’t Qingyi say that appearance, beauty and ugliness are just physical appearance and sensual pleasures? Why do you care about this now?”

“I was just asking casually…”

Chu Qingyi’s cheeks were flushed, and she said in a low voice, like a wronged little wife.

“Hahaha, I like Qingyi no matter what she looks like, but if she’s stunningly beautiful, I like her even more.”

Lu Changsheng laughed heartily, pinched her fair and delicate cheek, and said, “Let’s go, we’re almost at the Myriad Beast Mountain Range area.”

Although with the Golden Winged Heavenly Peng here, there was basically no danger.

But the Myriad Beast Mountain Range was full of danger, so they still needed to be careful.

“Mm.”

Chu Qingyi was slightly startled by Lu Changsheng’s carefree appearance, and she lightly pursed her lips.

A moment later, the two put on their clothes and walked out of the Heavenly Origin Treasure Emperor Lotus.

“Lu Lang.”

Meng Xiaochang immediately called out when she saw Lu Changsheng and Chu Qingyi appear.

“Xiaochang.”

Lu Changsheng called out with a smile.

Then he introduced her to Chu Qingyi, “Qingyi, this is Meng Xiaochang, my old friend…”

“Disciple of the Five Poisons Sect.”

Chu Qingyi could tell at a glance that Meng Xiaochang was not an ordinary disciple of the Five Poisons Sect.

However, as Lu Changsheng had guessed, although she didn’t like Meng Xiaochang, she didn’t show any particular aversion.

She just instructed Lu Changsheng to be careful and pay attention, that this kind of demonic cultivator should not be ignored, and if she caused trouble, it was very likely to implicate his Green Lake Mountain.

“I believe Xiaochang.”

Lu Changsheng squeezed her fair and slender hand and said with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, you said you were going to hunt a demon king, do you have a target?”

Chu Qingyi’s eyes were clear, and she looked at the Myriad Beast Mountain Range in front of her and asked.

Although she was a Core Formation cultivator, she had never overlooked and crossed the Myriad Beast Mountain Range like this.

“Sun and Moon Radiance Butterfly, a mid-stage third-tier demon king.”

Lu Changsheng said directly.

“Sun and Moon Radiance Butterfly?”

Chu Qingyi didn’t know much about the situation in the Myriad Beast Mountain Range and hadn’t heard this name.

She just nodded slightly and reminded him, “Fellow Daoist Lu, if you want to ambush this kind of demon king, you must be careful and cautious, and absolutely do not provoke other demon kings.”

“Don’t worry, I know.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, then sat cross-legged on the Golden Winged Heavenly Peng and chatted with Chu Qingyi and Meng Xiaochang.

However, the two women didn’t like each other and didn’t talk much together.

Jiang Kingdom.

Outside the Five Peaks Market, a second-tier spirit boat with a golden luster slowly descended.

“This is the place.”

On the spirit boat, Lu Qingshan looked at the pack beast caravan in the distance, which had a flag with the words ‘Changqing Chamber of Commerce’ on it, and said.

Then he got off the spirit boat with Lu Qingzhu, Lu Qingxuan, and Lu Qingqi.

He came here this time to find Lu Ruyi.

And Lu Qingxuan and Lu Qingqi had never traveled far before, so they went out together this time to travel and also to deepen the relationship between brothers.

“Mm, Qingxuan, Xiaoqi!? Why are you here?”

Beside the caravan, a Lu family disciple stationed there didn’t recognize Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu, and recognized Lu Qingxuan and Lu Qingqi at first glance.

“Brother Yue, Sister Xia…”

Lu Qingxuan had a handsome appearance and was as gentle as jade, and he smiled and stepped forward to greet the few people.

Although the Lu family did not distinguish between嫡 (main branch) and 庶 (side branch), and treated them equally.

But the children of the main wives still had some preferential treatment.

Lu Qingxuan, as the son of Lu Miaoge and a son whom Lu Changsheng was fond of, had a gentle, kind, and humble personality, so he had a good relationship with most of his brothers and sisters in the family.

When these people heard the purpose of Lu Qingxuan’s visit, they immediately said that Lu Ruyi was in the market, and then activated the communication talisman to greet Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu.

Although Lu Qingshan was away for a long time, most of the Lu family disciples were not familiar with him.

But his name was very famous in Green Lake Mountain.

At this time, the Foundation Establishment worshipper who was in charge of the caravan walked out of the carriage and was surprised when he saw Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu.

He didn’t expect that two more Foundation Establishment cultivators had emerged from the Lu family.

This kind of foundation was simply terrifying!

“Mm.”

Lu Qingshan just smiled and exchanged a few polite words.

Not long after, Lu Ruyi, wearing a golden soft armor, quickly walked out of the market.

Seeing Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingxuan, and others, she was a little surprised and went forward to greet them.

However, she wasn’t very close to Lu Qingshan either, just exchanged pleasantries and asked when he had returned.

“Little Zhu’er.”

Lu Qingshan had never liked this kind of politeness, and after a few pleasantries, he called out to his sister.

“Sister Ruyi, the sword embryo you gave to brother before, he has always been thinking about it, so this time he came back and prepared a small gift for you, sister.”

Lu Qingzhu said kindly with a smile, handing a storage bag to Lu Ruyi and introducing the treasures inside.

These few things could be given by Lu Qingshan, so they were naturally extraordinary.

The first item was a bracelet, named ‘Xuan Guang Bracelet’.

This bracelet was an exotic treasure, both offensive and defensive. When activated by a cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage, it could exert the power of a high-grade spirit weapon.

If activated by a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, it could exert the power of a top-grade spirit weapon.

Originally, Lu Qingshan had given this exotic treasure to his sister Lu Qingzhu for protection.

But Lu Qingzhu thought she didn’t need it and chose to give it to Lu Ruyi.

“This is too precious.”

Lu Ruyi shook her head and refused.

Cultivators in the early Foundation Establishment stage could only use mid-grade spirit weapons at most, and their magic power would easily become insufficient if they used them for a long time.

And this exotic treasure only required the consumption of a low-grade spirit weapon to exert the effect of a high-grade spirit weapon.

If she held this exotic treasure, she would be able to contend with a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage head-on.

“Sister Ruyi, just keep it. This is a small token of brother’s appreciation, otherwise, he will always be thinking about it.”

Lu Qingzhu covered her mouth and smiled, quietly indicating that her brother’s personality was just like this, seemingly cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

“Okay, thank you, Qingshan, and Qingzhu sister.”

Although Lu Ruyi didn’t think Lu Qingshan was someone who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, seeing Lu Qingzhu like this, she still accepted it with a smile.

Then Lu Qingzhu introduced the second treasure, which was a talisman treasure.

However, it was a very rare escape talisman treasure.

The third item was a rare elixir - Dao Embryo Pill, which had the effect of condensing the Dao foundation.

Even though Lu Ruyi had been in charge of the chamber of commerce for many years and had seen many good things, she still felt that these three treasures were incredibly precious.

Especially the ‘Dao Embryo Pill,’ which was priceless on the market, countless people would fight over it.

Besides these three treasures, Lu Qingzhu had also prepared several high-quality spiritual artifacts and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, making Lu Ruyi lament how wealthy this pair of younger siblings was.

Their wealth was completely beyond what Foundation Establishment cultivators could accumulate.

It could only be said that the situation of the brother and sister could not be measured by ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

“Where are you planning to go next, Sister Ruyi?”

At this moment, Lu Qingxuan stepped forward and asked Lu Ruyi.

“After this resupply and finishing some matters with the shops here, the next stop is the Fang family in Baishi Mountain.”

Lu Ruyi felt quite close to this younger brother, Lu Qingxuan, and said with a smile.

On one hand, it was because Lu Miaoge usually cared for and looked after her.

On the other hand, this younger brother had a gentle nature, and his appearance and temperament were seven parts similar to their father’s, like a refined gentleman, making him very easy to get along with.

“Sister Ruyi, we also want to experience caravan life and understand the situation of the chamber of commerce on this trip. Sister Ruyi wouldn’t mind us traveling with you for a while, would you?”

Lu Qingxuan grinned, revealing his white teeth, like warm sunlight.

“Naturally, there’s no problem.”

Lu Ruyi smiled and said, “With Qingshan and Qingzhu with me, I think this trip will be worry-free.”

“Sister Ruyi, does the caravan often encounter danger?”

Lu Qingzhu asked with some curiosity.

“Not often, but it’s inevitable to encounter some petty villains and rogue cultivators with malicious intent.”

Lu Ruyi explained, talking as she led them into the market to handle affairs and prepare to set off.

Half a month later.

With a flick of his finger, Lu Qingshan unleashed a burst of sword light, half-crippling a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He said with some confusion, “Where did this kind of small fry get the guts to dare to rob someone?”

“…”

Lu Ruyi and another guest elder and consecrator were stunned when they saw this method, then fell silent, somewhat at a loss for words.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator was actually suppressed by Lu Qingshan with a flick of his finger.

Terrifying, this level of strength was simply terrifying!

Didn’t that mean that if Lu Qingshan wanted to act against them, it would also be just a flick of a finger?

“This kind of rogue cultivator is just looking for a small fortune.”

Lu Ruyi explained.

Although the caravan had a Foundation Establishment cultivator overseeing it.

However, facing a Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator, unless they used talismans or trump cards, it would be difficult to kill them.

So if the other party was just looking for a small fortune, most caravans would choose to resolve it peacefully to make money.

After all, if they fought and the other party escaped and held a grudge, it could lead to more trouble.

It was better to spend a little money to avoid disaster.

“Tsk.”

Lu Qingshan clicked his tongue, roughly understanding the reasoning behind it.

In a place like the Azure Cloud territory, a Foundation Establishment cultivator was already considered a patriarch.

No matter which caravan, unless there were special circumstances, they would at most dispatch one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators to oversee it.

This also gave many rogue cultivators an opportunity to earn extra money.

These rogue cultivators also knew their limits; they would ask for some benefits and wouldn’t make things difficult.

Meeting Lu Qingshan today was purely because they didn’t check the almanac before going out.

“Qingshan, your current cultivation level…”

At this moment, Lu Ruyi asked, somewhat curious about Lu Qingshan’s cultivation level and strength.

“Foundation Establishment sixth layer.”

Lu Qingshan replied truthfully.

“Sixth layer!?”

Lu Ruyi was surprised.

On one hand, she felt that Lu Qingshan’s age and cultivation level were incredibly talented.

On the other hand, she felt that having such combat power at the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment was truly outrageous.

However, thinking of this younger brother’s talent, he couldn’t be understood by common sense.

“Right, Sister Ruyi, you just mentioned that Sima family. If I just go and kill all their Foundation Establishment cultivators, will it cause trouble for our family?”

At this moment, Lu Qingshan rubbed his chin and suddenly said.

He had just heard about the matters between his family and the Sima family.

He remembered his clever and quirky younger sister, Lu Wangshu, who was still stationed at Crane Cry Mountain, guarding against the Sima family causing trouble.

So he thought about whether he should contribute more to the family on this trip.

“No, no, no, Brother Qingshan, absolutely not.”

Before Lu Ruyi could speak, Lu Qingxuan next to him quickly said.

He stated that doing so would not only enrage the Sima family, but the Azure Cloud Sect would also step in and severely punish them.

The reason why Blue Lake Mountain and families like the Jin and Sima families hadn’t had major conflicts over the years was because of the deterrence of the Azure Cloud Sect.

So, even if there were frictions between the families, they were just minor skirmishes and wouldn’t go too far.

“Jiang Kingdom and Yue Kingdom are allied nations. For the sake of the Golden Sun Sect, the Azure Cloud Sect shouldn’t do anything to me, and I also have some connections in the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

Lu Qingshan felt that if it was just worrying about the Azure Cloud Sect, it would be fine.

“No, no, absolutely not.”

“Father and Aunt told us that our family doesn’t need to have conflicts with these family forces right now. We just need to develop steadily…”

Lu Ruyi spoke, worried that this younger brother would cause trouble recklessly.

“Brother.”

Lu Qingzhu also glared at her brother, signaling him not to cause trouble.

Lu Ruyi and Lu Qingxuan might think their brother was just joking.

But she knew that her brother directly considering the consequences meant he truly had this idea.

And he had the strength to do so!

“I was just saying, just saying.”

Lu Qingshan immediately made a gesture of surrender.

The four of them traveled with the caravan for another half a month. After experiencing enough, Lu Qingshan piloted the spiritual boat and took the three of them to Crane Cry Mountain.

Lu Wangshu had been stationed at Crane Cry Mountain during this time.

So Lu Qingzhu, Lu Qingxuan, and Lu Qingqi all wanted to visit this younger sister and older sister.

If any forces caused trouble, Lu Qingshan could also boost Lu Wangshu’s prestige.

Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

“Pfft!”

Under the combined attack of Lu Changsheng, Chu Qingyi, and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, a Demon King let out a wail, blood splattering across the sky, and was directly suppressed and killed.

Since he was preparing to hunt the Sun and Moon Co-shining Butterfly, Lu Changsheng naturally cultivated some tacit understanding with Chu Qingyi and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng in advance and found a few Demon Kings to practice on.

This process was very smooth.

Lu Changsheng first had the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng conceal its aura, pretending to be a third-order early-stage Demon King to provoke.

After the Demon King appeared, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng immediately unleashed its demonic energy, suppressing it through bloodline pressure.

Then Lu Changsheng and Chu Qingyi attacked simultaneously.

The Yin-Yang One Qi Great Capture suppressed it, and Chu Qingyi’s sword art broke through its defense.

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng completed the final blow.

However, having had previous experiences, and currently crossing the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, Lu Changsheng didn’t dare to go too far.

After hunting two Demon Kings, he didn’t continue hunting to avoid attracting a siege.

Moreover, Chu Qingyi reminded Lu Changsheng that this kind of thing couldn’t be done too much.

If the killing was excessive and angered the Demon Kings, it was very likely to trigger a beast tide and attack human cities.

Although such a beast tide couldn’t harm Lu Changsheng.

However, there had always been talk of karma in the immortal cultivation world.

For example, if a beast tide was provoked, causing too many innocent people to be affected, perhaps karmic debt would entangle him, causing the heart demon tribulation and heavenly tribulation to increase when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

Although this kind of talk was ethereal, most high-level cultivators would rather believe it than not.

A few days later.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind, accompanied by a mysterious tremor.

【Congratulations to the host for giving birth to eight spiritual body descendants, obtaining one lottery chance!】

“Hmm? Did Qingqing give birth, or Ling’er?”

Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat.

Bai Ling had been pregnant for over two years, almost three years.

So for the past two years, whenever a child was born, his heart would be anxious, both anticipating and fearing it was the child in Bai Ling’s womb.

After all, he had immense expectations for this child.

If the child was born with only average talent, he was afraid he would be sad for a long time.

Through a faint connection, Lu Changsheng felt that the spiritual body effect of this child was average.

With a slight movement of his mind, he looked at the system interface.

【Name: Unnamed】

【Lifespan: 1/89】

【Talent: Third-Grade Spiritual Root, Azure Wood Spiritual Body (Medium-Grade Spiritual Body)】

【Cultivation: None】

【Talent: Spiritual Plants (43%)】

“Qingqing’s child…”

Lu Changsheng looked at the panel of this son, knowing that this was the descendant born by his Dao companion, Zhao Qingqing.

Her pregnancy had also been quite long, a full year and more.

“Third-grade spiritual root, Azure Wood Spiritual Body is also not bad.”

The Azure Wood Spiritual Body was similar to Lu Qingshan’s Geng Metal Body.

It was one of the relatively common Five Elements Spiritual Bodies.

Possessing this kind of spiritual body and a third-grade spiritual root, there was hope of forming a Golden Core in the future.

Moreover, this child had the Azure Wood Spiritual Body, was exceptionally talented in the path of spiritual plants, and perfectly matched the family’s “Treasure Cauldron Medicine King Scripture.” His early cultivation could be said to be smooth sailing.

As long as he worked hard and was motivated, he would likely be able to break through to the Golden Core stage in the future.
