Chapter 536: The materials for the nourishing lotus, wind and thunder wings, and the life magic weapon are all collected.
In the Void Realm, spiritual energy was dim.
Misty Void Realm turbulence rolled, mixed with Gang Wind and thunder, making it extremely terrifying.
If a Core Formation cultivator accidentally entered it, there was a constant risk of falling.
Qingluan True Monarch, in a luxurious jade-green brocade robe, with a tall and slender figure, walked through the Void Realm.
Her Spirit Beast, the Luan bird, was like a flowing, iridescent jade cloak draped over her shoulder, adding a touch of sacred beauty to her solemn and majestic bearing.
“sky phoenix true feather, Dual Cultivation of body and pháp, a Spirit Beast with a Bloodline aura surpassing Xiao Qing’s—could this person have obtained a Soul Transformation Legacy?”
“Furthermore, the pháp power auras of the three women beside him indicate that they Cultivate the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method.”
“Although this Cultivation Technique has no Bottleneck and Breakthroughs occur naturally, cultivating it by relying on one’s Lifebound Spirit Plant is slow, with Foundation Establishment only hoped for at least a hundred years of age, yet the bone ages of these three women are clearly inconsistent.”
“Moreover, to Cultivate the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, one cannot leave the location of their Lifebound Spirit Plant unless they open a Spirit Realm.”
“These three women are only at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation, so they should not have reached such a level of Cultivation, which means this person possesses a Grotto-heaven Treasure.”
“Knowing my title, he is most likely a Cultivator from the Jiang Country area. I didn’t expect that besides the couple from Great Dream Immortal City, Jiang Country still harbored such a figure.”
Qingluan True Monarch’s eyes narrowed slightly, her phoenix-like eyes, with their cold luster, revealing an indescribable allure.
During their brief encounter just now, she had already obtained much information from Lu Changsheng.
All this information indicated that this person was not simple.
He even gave her a sense of unfathomable depth!
Yet, under such circumstances, the other party readily agreed to the transaction and gave her the sky phoenix true feather.
Although there was a condition of three interventions.
However, her current strength, compared to the rarity of the sky phoenix true feather, was still considerably lacking.
“Although I don’t know this person’s situation or what he is plotting, with war about to break out, this person can be considered as a potential ally.”
Qingluan True Monarch thought to herself.
As the master of an Immortal City, her intelligence was extremely well-informed.
She had long foreseen that a war would erupt in the Cultivation World.
For instance, in Yuan Country, Qiyun Country, and the Sky Net Sect, war had already broken out.
Yue Country and Liang Country had also been in constant friction.
This war would sooner or later spread and affect the Jiang Country side.
After her Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, she chose to return to the Jiang Country Cultivation World, also in preparation for the war.
After all, a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul required even more wealth, companions, Cultivation Techniques, and land.
Especially since she had raised a Qingluan Dao army.
Unlike most Nascent Soul True Lords, she was not supported by a powerful faction.
She could only continue to manage her Qingluan Immortal City.
Moreover, having a foundational power made it easier to integrate into the Nascent Soul circle.
Otherwise, if you were a Loose Cultivator with no ties or weaknesses, most Nascent Soul True Lords would be wary and guarded against you.
Nevertheless, she still needed to make more preparations and find a few allies when the war erupted.
Otherwise, as a Loose Cultivator, the say she would have and the resources and benefits she could contend for would be limited.
Qingluan True Monarch no longer pondered, taking a step out of the Void Realm.
Although Nascent Soul True Lords controlled the power of the Void Realm, they could not traverse the Void Realm at will.
Especially in the Void Realm, which was filled with Gang Wind, thunder, and spiritual energy turbulence.
Even a Nascent Soul True Lord could be in danger if they were not careful.
One month later.
Lu Changsheng returned to Bihu Mountain with his wives, arriving at the Xumi Grotto-heaven, to consult Honglian about divination and calculations.
He possessed the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus, which obscured heavenly secrets, so logically, his information could not be divined by others.
Even if Qingluan True Monarch was a Nascent Soul cultivator, she would find it difficult to do so.
“Young Master possesses a supreme treasure that obscures heavenly secrets, so naturally, you cannot be divined or calculated.”
“In this situation, it is highly likely that she is proficient in divination and sensed a profound Opportunity in the unseen, just happening to encounter Young Master.”
Honglian mused after hearing this.
Although she did not Cultivate divination, she knew that no matter how powerful divination was, it could not calculate specific information.
Moreover, everything contained variables.
After divination and calculation, a single thought, a single idea, could influence the outcome.
“So, it was a coincidence at the time, and her words were a bit of a trick?”
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes.
He guessed that they had simply met by chance, and then the other party, through some secret method, sensed the aura of Qingluan and Phoenix birds from him.
Although the sky phoenix true feather was placed in the Universe Shadow Belt, others could not see through it.
However, there were many methods in the Cultivation World.
Just like the Soul Search Rat in the Purple Nether Secret Realm, which could smell the aura of Spirit Medicine in the Secret Realm.
Some Soul Search Rats could also smell the aura of certain Heaven And Earth Treasure from others’ Storage Pouches.
“Could it be that you, little guy, also played a trick?”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng looked at the Peach Blossom Gu in his Sea of Consciousness.
He remembered that when he encountered Qingluan True Monarch, it sent him a sensation, indicating to seize the Opportunity, as there was hope for a connection.
“Buzz!”
The Peach Blossom Gu was very aggrieved.
It indicated that it could not control Lu Changsheng’s peach blossom Luck.
It could only sense the state of his Luck and provide reminders, so Lu Changsheng would not miss out.
“It really has something to do with you, little guy.”
Lu Changsheng naturally knew that the Peach Blossom Gu could only enhance his peach blossom Luck, not directly influence it.
But if there was a situation with his peach blossom Luck, it meant it had some relation to his peach blossom Luck.
The concept of Luck was profound and mysterious.
This Qingluan True Monarch, being able to grow from a Loose Cultivator to her current state, naturally belonged to someone with great Luck, blessed by it.
Then, through deduction and divination, and by chance, their encounter was plausible.
“You, little guy, are becoming less picky. If I remember correctly, this Qingluan True Monarch seems to be over four hundred years old, right?”
Lu Changsheng remembered that this Qingluan True Monarch had been famous for almost three hundred years.
Calculating her age, she was definitely over four hundred.
“Three years older, a golden brick; three hundred years older…”
“Being a bit older doesn’t matter, but this Qingluan True Monarch, from a Loose Cultivator to Nascent Soul, also understands divination and calculation. It might not be easy to get close to her.”
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes.
Although he had no particular thoughts about this Qingluan True Monarch.
However, with the Wilderness War about to begin, and a potential war between Cultivation countries in the future.
For his Family to have more self-preservation in such turmoil, he, as the Old Ancestor, was willing to make sacrifices and humble himself.
“Moreover, Qingluan True Monarch’s Spirit Beast is already at the Peak of the third rank.”
“Now that it has obtained the sky phoenix true feather, once it Breaks through to the fourth rank, it can take human form.”
Lu Changsheng also thought of the third-rank Luan bird beside Qingluan True Monarch.
However, as soon as the thought arose, he shook his head.
He, the dignified Lu Family Old Ancestor, a true gentleman, how could he have other thoughts about a transformed demon king?
However, there was a saying in his previous life: when pursuing a girl, first win over her best friend.
Although such demon kings possessed sentience, they were still much simpler compared to the Human Race.
If he could approach through this Qingluan, would it be much simpler?
“Moreover, this Luan bird possesses the Bloodline of a True Spirit Qingluan. If it refines the sky phoenix true feather, its Bloodline might advance further.”
Lu Changsheng even felt that this Luan bird had more allure than Qingluan True Monarch herself.
If the other party could advance to True Spirit Rank Bloodline and give birth to offspring…
“Sigh, I’m truly worried sick for this Family.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head, let out a long sigh, and then went to find Lu Miaoge.
“Immortal Master Caiyun is in seclusion, and Immortal Master Qingyi has inherited the Qingyun Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall?”
Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge were discussing Family matters from these past days when he heard a piece of news that slightly surprised him.
“Yes, Changsheng, not long after you, Miaohuan, Yun’er, and Zhenzhen left, the Qingyun Sect held the succession ceremony.”
Lu Miaoge, in a plain white dress, said gently.
During these days, she had been presiding over the Lu Family, keeping track of various news and affairs.
“Immortal Master Caiyun has served as the Law Enforcement Hall Master for so many years; it’s normal for her to pass it on to someone else now.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Yun Wanchang had long since Broken through to the Core Formation Late Stage, and it was time for her to prepare for Nascent Soul, so resigning from such a Hall Master position was normal.
However, the fact that she directly handed the position to her disciple indicated that her influence was not ordinary.
Subsequently, Lu Changsheng asked about other matters, such as Qingluan Immortal City.
But Lu Miaoge stated that the most lively event during these days was the White Deer Ning Family’s promotion to a Core Formation Family under the Yu Ling Sect’s jurisdiction.
As for Qingluan Immortal City, she had not heard any news or rumors.
“Could the Core Formation Old Ancestor of this White Deer Ning Family, who achieved Core Formation in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, be related to Qingluan True Monarch?”
Lu Changsheng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a speculative thought arose.
He had encountered Qingluan True Monarch in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
This person likely resided within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
If she encountered the Ning Family Old Ancestor forming his Core, it would be plausible for her to lend a hand as a matter of convenience.
After all, she needed some subordinates upon her return to Jiang Country.
“Changsheng, why did you return so quickly this time? Did something happen?”
Seeing Lu Changsheng deep in thought, Lu Miaoge asked softly.
She knew that Lu Changsheng had planned to travel with Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen for about half a year this time.
But now they had returned early.
“I encountered Qingluan True Monarch this time.”
Lu Changsheng said in a deep voice.
“Qingluan True Monarch?”
Lu Miaoge’s beautiful face froze.
Then, with a face full of surprise, he said, “Changsheng, are you talking about Qingluan True Person, the City Lord of Qingluan Immortal City? She broke through to Nascent Soul True Lord!?”
Qingluan True Person breaking through to Nascent Soul was definitely big news.
“That’s right, she not only broke through to Nascent Soul, but she’s not an ordinary Nascent Soul True Lord.”
“It’s just that I don’t know what her purpose is in returning, I only know that she will return to Qingluan Immortal City.”
“So, I suddenly thought, could this Old Ancestor of White Deer Ning Family breaking through to Core Formation be related to Qingluan True Monarch?”
Lu Changsheng said so.
If it were before, he wouldn’t have guessed this way, but now he couldn’t help but think more.
“Changsheng, what you said is not impossible.”
Lu Miaoge pondered, then asked, “Did something happen when you met Qingluan True Monarch?”
“Nothing really happened, it’s just that I obtained a Spirit Item early on that was useful to her Spirit Beast, so I asked for it, and we made a trade in the end.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Lu Miaoge didn’t ask further when she heard that.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng didn’t continue chatting, and helped Lu Miaoge Cultivate, discussing the Yin and Yang Dao.
After accompanying his wives, concubines, and children at Lu for half a month, Lu Changsheng went to Qingyun Sect to visit Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing.
After being busy for more than half a month, he then went to Yanyu Market.
Now Yu Fei’s body was almost recuperated, and his daughter, Lu Yanyu, was very lively.
But Lu Changsheng felt that it would be better to bring the child back to Bihu Mountain to raise her.
However, neither Yanlan nor Yu Fei were willing to be separated from their daughter.
Lu Changsheng did not force them.
Thinking that two women and one child were not lively enough, he should have a few more.
During these days, he fought with the two women repeatedly.
However, with his current Core Formation Cultivation and Chaos Body, it was really difficult for them to get pregnant.
But Lu Changsheng firmly believed that where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Yanlan’s personality was also competitive, with a stubborn refusal to admit defeat.
She couldn’t believe that she, a dignified woman, was not Lu Changsheng’s match, and why her sister could get pregnant but she couldn’t!
Finally, after two months of cultivation and dozens of broken beds, Yanlan successfully became pregnant.
Lu Changsheng did not leave immediately after she became pregnant.
He stayed in Yanyu Market for another month before returning to Bihu Mountain.
During this time, Yanlan and Yu Fei were very generous, calling their maids to serve him.
However, Old Ancestor Lu no longer looked upon those Qi Refining female Cultivators with ordinary Spiritual Root talent.
He declared that he was not such a casual person.
“Congratulations, Host, your descendant has given birth to 2000 offspring, you have gained one lottery chance!”
Lu Changsheng was flying through the Nine Heavens Gang Wind Layer when a System prompt suddenly sounded.
Hearing this voice, he felt a little emotional, then silently chanted “lottery”.
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Spirit Plant: Spirit Nurturing Lotus!”
“The reward has been issued to the System Space, Host can check it at any time.”
A lotus pattern, shimmering with colorful light, appeared along with the System prompt.
“Spirit Nurturing Lotus?”
There were many Heaven And Earth Treasures in the world, and even Lu Changsheng, as a Core Formation cultivator, had limited knowledge.
“Spirit Nurturing Lotus”
“Grade: Third Rank”
“Description: Planted in a Spiritual Vein or Spiritual Spring, it blooms for ten years, grows for ten years, blooms for ten years, and forms a pod for ten years. The lotus seeds have the effect of warming and nourishing the Physical Body and nurturing the Divine Soul.”
“It matures in a cycle of forty years? This Spirit Nurturing Lotus is quite easy to Cultivate… I just don’t know what the effect is.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he looked at the Spirit Nurturing Lotus in front of him.
In the Cultivation World, Spirit Medicine and Spirit Plants that could nourish the Divine Soul were generally invaluable.
However, a Third Rank Spirit Plant was very ordinary to him now, with not much surprise, better than nothing.
Lu Changsheng did not return directly to Bihu Mountain, but instead sent a message to Chu Qingyi at their usual meeting place.
When he went to Qingyun Sect earlier, he had just met Xiao Xiyue, and was worried that Chu Qingyi would say he smelled like Xiao Xiyue, so he didn’t contact her.
After a long while, Chu Qingyi arrived.
She had gathered the last few Materials for the yin yang dao diagram he was refining.
Lu Changsheng was very touched by this, and could only express his feelings through action.
Afterward!
Afterward!
Afterward!
Lu Changsheng embraced Chu Qingyi’s soft and delicate jade body, and asked with concern, “Qingyi, I heard you are now the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, are you usually busy?”
“Most matters are handled by others.”
Chu Qingyi felt the hand moving on her body, her whole body was soft and weak, her cheeks were flushed, and she panted slightly.
As a Hall Master, if it wasn’t for major events, she wouldn’t be very busy if she didn’t interfere with everything.
“Hmm.”
Lu Changsheng just quietly held her like this, speaking some intimate words.
He also learned about the situation in the Jiang Country Cultivation World, or the surrounding countries, through her.
However, Chu Qingyi did not know about Qingluan True Monarch.
Currently, the main issues in Jiang Country were the Wilderness War and the friction between Liang Country and Yue Country.
As for the Wilderness War, they still had to wait for Xuanjian Zhenjun to speak.
After a long while, Chu Qingyi tidied her dress and bid farewell to Lu Changsheng before leaving.
After returning to Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng continued his busy daily routine.
Aside from accompanying his wives, concubines, and children, he refined Magic Treasures with Honglian.
Just like that, three months passed.
Bai Feng Immortal Master’s two Magic Treasures were both reforged.
He used the white-golden small mountain as a means, and gave the nine-piece set of dark small arrows to Honglian as an offensive Magic Treasure.
Then, the Magic Treasure he had been longing for—the Wind and Thunder Wings—was finally successfully refined.
This Magic Treasure used the wings of a Wind Thunder Hǒu as its framework, and many other Heaven And Earth Treasures were invested.
Lu Changsheng lightly raised his hand and activated this Wind and Thunder Wings Magic Treasure.
Instantly, he felt wind and thunder surging behind him, Spiritual Qi sweeping, followed by a ‘whoosh’ sound, and a pair of purple-golden wings appeared.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
With a thought from Lu Changsheng, the wings immediately shone with deep purple and sky-blue light, and wind and thunder surged.
If one observed carefully, they could see many mysterious runes intertwined beneath the feathers, which were very dazzling.
“This Wind Thunder Hǒu only had the strength of the Early Stage of Third Rank, its foundation was too poor, so these Wind and Thunder Wings are only Low Grade Magic Treasures, which are a bit lacking for me.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
However, this was ultimately his first Magic Treasure.
He quietly left Bihu Mountain and came to the Nine Heavens Gang Wind Layer to experience the effect of these wings.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
Wind and thunder surged, constantly sweeping.
Lu Changsheng was like a purple lightning arc, stirring up layers of strong winds, his figure untraceable.
With Magic Power injected, the ten-foot-long wings instantly swept with purple lightning and sky-blue hurricanes, forming a fierce attack, and his speed suddenly increased again.
“Boom boom boom—”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng activated his Evil-warding Golden Lightning.
The power of the wings increased by several tenths.
However, these Wind and Thunder Wings were ultimately only Low Grade Magic Treasures, with wind and thunder attributes.
If he fully activated them with Evil-warding Golden Lightning, the power would be too strong, easily leading to overload and wear.
“If it were a Medium Grade Magic Treasure, it would be much better.”
Lu Changsheng felt a little regretful.
However, looking at the cool appearance of these wings, Lu Changsheng also discarded the shortcomings.
After all, whether it’s powerful or not is one thing, but being handsome is for life!
With these few Magic Treasures as practice, Lu Changsheng was also ready to refine his Lifebound Treasure—the yin yang dao diagram!
He did not start refining directly, but called Honglian over and asked for her opinion.
“Young Master, this Magic Treasure, with its offensive and defensive capabilities, can seal off Heaven and Earth and suppress the Void Realm. If it is promoted to a Spirit Treasure, it can even traverse the Void Realm. It is simply exquisitely incomparable.”
Honglian exclaimed in admiration as she looked at the Magic Treasure design blueprint.
“Heh heh, this Magic Treasure, once refined, will at most be a High Grade Magic Treasure.”
“It’s still unknown when it will be promoted to a Spirit Treasure.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head and laughed.
Being able to gather the Materials for refining this yin yang dao diagram so quickly was not only due to Chu Qingyi’s help, but also because he made many adjustments.
He replaced some rare and hard-to-find Materials.
And he abandoned the offensive nature of the Magic Treasure, enhancing its defense and the effect of suppressing and confining Heaven and Earth.
However, Magic Treasures were inherently tailored to the individual.
It’s just that most people don’t have the conditions for it.
He possessed Third Rank Artifact Refining experience, and understood this Lifebound Treasure like the back of his hand. Naturally, he could make adjustments based on the foundation to make the Magic Treasure more suitable for himself and more compatible with his fighting style.
After Lu Changsheng and Honglian discussed and researched for a long time, they finalized the matter of refining the Magic Treasure.
However, in half a month, it would be the Lu Family’s forty-fifth annual Family conference.
At that time, a new Family Head would also be appointed.
Usually, Lu Changsheng had not attended such annual conferences for a long time.
But this year, with the change of the Family Head, it was still necessary for him to show his face.
So he planned to attend the conference and then calmly refine his Lifebound Treasure.
