Chapter 537: The secret of life and death of withering and flourishing, the diagram of Yin and Yang is completed!
Lu Family Manor, Council Hall.
Today is the day of the Lu Family’s annual meeting.
The entire hall is filled with Lu Family members.
Lu Changsheng habitually leaned back in the main seat, one hand propping his chin, the other resting on the armrest, his eyes gentle, yet revealing an unquestionable air of authority and dignity.
Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhenzhen, and Xia Zhiyue sat upright on both sides.
Ling Zixiao is still stationed at Crane Cry Mountain, so she did not return.
“Currently, the family has a total of four thousand nine hundred and thirteen members, with one hundred and ninety-five cultivators.”
“Among them, there are eighteen Foundation Establishment cultivators, forty-one late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, eighty-seven mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and forty-nine early-stage Qi Refining cultivators.”
Lu Qingxuan reported the number of family members.
These numbers include the Lu Family of Ruyi County.
However, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators is only the surface data of the Lu Family.
Figures like Lu Quanzhen, Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, Nangong Yaoyao, Yanlan, Yufei, as well as several concubines like Qu Zhenzhen and Lu Miaohuan, did not announce their breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, so they were not included in the statistics.
The reason for not including them is, on the one hand, to avoid causing too much shock.
On the other hand, Lu Changsheng felt that the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in his family was somewhat inflated.
Those who cannot be converted into combat power are not included.
However, this number is still very astonishing!
Families like the Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family and the Bai Niao Lake Bai Family, at their peak in the early years, only had one Foundation Establishment ancestor and a dozen late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
Even now, it has only doubled or so.
As for Bihu Mountain, which has been established for forty-five years, the actual number of Foundation Establishment cultivators has exceeded twenty.
The number of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators is as high as forty, and some are preparing to establish their foundation!
This does not include Lu Changsheng and Honglian, two Core Formation cultivators, the Sumeru Tree King, Golden-Winged Roc, Nine Nether Mastiff, Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao soldiers, and other spirit beast combat power.
If all of these are included, the strength of Bihu Mountain can be completely called the top force in the Jiang Kingdom!
“This year’s profit is two hundred and thirty-six thousand one hundred and forty spirit stones, an increase of nine percentage points compared to the previous year, mainly due to the increase in revenue from Crane Cry Mountain.”
“The expenditure of spirit stones is one hundred and ninety-five thousand five hundred and sixteen spirit stones, of which family salary accounts for sixty-three percentage points, family construction expenditure accounts for nine percentage points, raw material procurement accounts for thirteen percentage points, and the rest is mainly for interpersonal expenses.”
Lu Qingxuan continued to report the family’s revenue.
Bihu Mountain is a typical example of high income and high expenditure, especially in terms of family welfare benefits.
Things like the medicinal bath three years ago, the breeding of the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao soldiers, and the Foundation Establishment Pills for Lu Chensha, Lu Qingyan, and others to break through to Foundation Establishment are not included in the family’s normal expenses.
Otherwise, normal family operations would not be able to cultivate so many Foundation Establishment cultivators!
Subsequently, other Lu Family members who managed family affairs successively reported on the situation of puppets, talisman making, alchemy, winemaking, spirit planting, and subordinate industries.
Lu Changsheng listened to these data, feeling somewhat emotional.
Only then did he realize that in addition to the four spirit lands of Bihu Mountain, Baihu Mountain, Huaguo Mountain, and Crane Cry Mountain, his family also had so many mines, shops, and dependent forces.
“Well, Xingyang has performed very well in the past twenty years. The term of the head of the family is limited to twenty years, and it is time to rest and practice in peace. The candidate for the new head of the family is Qingxuan.”
“The next twenty years will also be twenty years of vigorous development for our family. Qingxuan, you must perform well.”
At this time, Lu Changsheng tapped the armrest lightly with his finger, silencing the hall, and looked at his son Lu Qingxuan.
“Congratulations, Brother Xuan!”
“Congratulations, Brother Qingxuan!”
“Greetings, Head of the Family!”
The Lu Family members in the family had long known about Lu Qingxuan’s appointment as the head of the family, and there was no objection.
On the one hand, many people are not interested in the position of the head of the family.
On the other hand, Lu Changsheng has designated it, who dares to have an opinion?
Moreover, Lu Qingxuan, as the son of Lu Miaoge, has a gentle and humble personality, and is taken care of by Lu Ping’an, Lu Ruyi, Lu Wangshu, Lu Qingsong, and others. He also has prestige among his peers, and is very suitable to be the head of the family.
“Please rest assured, Father, I will definitely live up to expectations!”
Lu Qingxuan immediately got up, cupped his hands and bowed.
“Xuan’er, tell me about the family’s plan for the next five years.”
Lu Changsheng continued.
The main arrangement next is to go to the Yuling Sect’s territory to open a branch family.
After all, there are so many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family, it is impossible to keep them all at home, they need to be released.
This is not only necessary for the development of the family, but also the necessary path for the growth of children!
Otherwise, ninety percent of these children will have no hope of forming a core.
Lu Qingxuan, dressed in a green brocade robe, with a handsome face, looked at the other Lu Family members without any stage fright. After cupping his fists, he spoke with a smile, gently and elegantly stating the family’s plan.
Lu Changsheng just watched quietly.
After the general matters were determined, he left directly with Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, and others.
After all, as long as there are no major problems in family affairs, he is too lazy to worry about them.
This trip was just a formality to preside over the situation.
“Yun’er, Xuan’er is succeeding as the head of the family. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can teach him more.”
Lu Changsheng said to his wife Lu Miaoyun.
Although he does not ask about family affairs, there are still many things in the family that require him, the ancestor, to make a decision.
He handed all these matters over to Lu Miaoyun.
Therefore, Lu Yun and Lu Xingyang will report the situation to Lu Miaoyun regularly during their tenure as the head of the family.
Lu Miaoyun will send him a message if she can’t make up her mind.
This system will continue when Lu Qingxuan takes over as the head of the family.
“Don’t worry, Husband, Xuan’er has been managing family affairs with Xingyang for the past two years in an orderly manner.”
Lu Miaoyun, dressed in a turquoise blue dress, with a fresh and refined appearance, said with a smile.
Lu Miaoge often retreats to practice, so Lu Qingxuan is mostly raised and taken care of by her, almost treating him as her own son, and loving him very much.
“Yun’er, don’t spoil him too much.”
Lu Miaoge knew that Lu Miaoyun loved her son more than she did.
“Sister Miaoge, don’t worry.”
Lu Miaoyun took the jade arm of this sister, very affectionately.
After Lu Changsheng chatted with the women for a while, he said that he would retreat next, and came to the Refining Hall with Honglian.
Start wholeheartedly refining his natal magic weapon.
Refining Hall.
“Puchi!”
Lu Changsheng shot a thunderous dragon flame towards the forging platform, and then activated the earth fire array.
The forging platform instantly vibrated ‘嗡嗡嗡’, with dense golden spiritual patterns appearing, burning with a raging dark golden flame.
This forging platform came from Tianyuan Zhenjun.
Even if the spirituality is wiped out under the long years, it still belongs to the quasi-fourth-order treasure refining platform.
It has great help in controlling fire, quenching, refining, refining, melting patterns, shaping, and offering treasures.
Lu Changsheng waved his hand and placed the prepared materials aside.
Then, he pinched his hands and injected a sun god stone into the forging platform for quenching.
Honglian, dressed in a red gilt gorgeous dress, with a hazy luster flowing on her body, stood quietly aside, acting as Lu Changsheng’s assistant.
Lu Family Manor.
“Thank you, Aunt!”
Lu Quanzhen cupped his hands and bowed to Lu Miaoge.
After more than three years of treatment and recuperation, his physical condition has improved a lot.
He can barely withstand the erosion of the Nether Blood Fiend.
However, he was not in a hurry to practice “Nether King Art”.
Prepare to wait for his body to get better.
After cupping his hands and bowing to Lu Miaoge, his mother Qu Zhenzhen, Lu Quanzhen came to Biyun Peak, the core area of the spirit vein.
In the past three years, in addition to recuperating his body, he has spent almost all his time on the Xuantian Spirit Vine in front of him.
After three years of observation and comprehension, he has gained a lot.
Not only did he comprehend spells such as “Withering Glory Art”, but he also mutually verified the withering glory Dao rhyme of the Xuantian Spirit Vine with his own “Yin Yang Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Art”, the way of righteousness and evil.
During this process, he also gradually realized a spell based on his father’s way of Yin and Yang, and his own situation and state of burning life potential during several life and death moments.
He named this spell - Withering Glory Life and Death Art!
Using the principle of Yin and Yang generating each other, life and death withering and flourishing, to quickly convert mana between life and death, so as to achieve a situation of borrowing strength to fight, and being endless.
Moreover, through the Withering Glory Life and Death Art, he can plunder the vitality of heaven and earth and transform it into his own vitality!
When cultivating to a deep level, life and death can be transformed, cutting off people’s lifespan, and converting injuries and death energy into vitality, nourishing the body and mana, and never withering.
Of course, this is just a theoretical idea.
Currently, he can only use the Life and Death Art to heal himself, and plunder the vitality of plants to accelerate healing.
Lu Quanzhen held the Vajra Relic and the Nine-Eyed Bodhi Seed, sitting cross-legged in front of the Xuantian Spiritual Vine.
With each breath, he seemed to form a mysterious rhythm with the interwoven patterns of the Xuantian Spiritual Vine before him, gradually resonating.
Yue State.
In a beautiful valley, shouts of killing shook the heavens.
“Puff, puff, puff—”
A tall swordsman in a green shirt wielded the long sword in his hand, causing corpse after corpse to fall, blood splattering, covering the petals and green grass, like a Shura hell.
After a long time.
The bandits were all killed, and more than ten men and women who had been robbed were rescued.
“Thank you, hero, thank you, immortal!”
They knelt down and thanked the swordsman in green and the woman in white beside him.
“Take these money and dry food, go east for a hundred miles, there is a city.”
The woman in white distributed some of the looted wealth and food to them, and said softly.
The newest and most complete novels are at 69shu bar!
“Thank you, immortal, thank you, fairy, we will definitely build a shrine for you at home and pray for peace.”
These people knew that the two people in front of them were cultivators, so they knelt down and saluted.
“Border friction is constant, leading to more and more rogue cultivators and evil cultivators.”
Lu Qingshan said as he watched these people leave.
Three years ago, he and his sister Lu Qingzhu returned to the Jinyang Sect.
On the way, he comprehended the “Tian Yuan Sword Art” given to him by his father, and gained some understanding.
So after reporting to the sect, he took a few sect missions and went down the mountain with his sister to hone his sword heart.
After two years of tempering in the mortal world, his sword heart became more and more calm, and his sword intent gradually became restrained.
The whole person had none of the sharpness and arrogance of the previous peerless sword cultivator, and his expression was peaceful and natural.
“Brother.”
Lu Qingzhu, in a snow-white dress, looked at the corpses, blood, and the figures leaving in a hurry, and pursed her lips.
Although the war between Yue State and Liang State has not broken out directly, the friction between the two countries has already affected Yue State.
In particular, many demonic techniques from Liang State have flowed into Yue State, resulting in an increase in low-level demonic cultivators, evil cultivators, and rogue cultivators.
Many demonic cultivators and evil cultivators even came to the secular world to plunder and kill mortals to practice their skills.
In the past two years, she has traveled around with her brother Lu Qingshan, and has seen a lot of suffering at the bottom, and she has become more compassionate.
Lu Qingshan sighed in his heart.
He secretly thought that he should not have brought his sister to see such suffering in the world.
“These people help demonic cultivators practice their skills, they deserve to die.”
“Our ability is limited, we will rescue them when we encounter them, why be so sentimental.”
Lu Qingshan rubbed his sister’s hair and said with a smile.
As he spoke, he hung the magic sword in his hand on his waist and took a sip from a wine gourd.
He was not as inseparable from wine as his master, True Person Tian Yuan.
He simply felt that this was more free and unrestrained.
Seeing that his sister seemed to be still immersed in sadness, he poured two more mouthfuls of wine into his sister’s mouth, which made Lu Qingzhu glared at him with a strange look.
“Hahaha—”
Lu Qingshan laughed loudly, then took his sister and turned into a sword light and flew away.
“Immortal, a true immortal!”
The figures who had been rescued and left before saw the sword light soaring into the sky and bowed and knelt in the direction of the two people again.
Bihu Mountain.
Weapon Refining Hall.
“Boom boom boom—”
The Wujin forging platform was burning with raging fire.
In the Wujin flames, a picture scroll that was neither gold nor jade, neither paper nor silk, with interwoven Yin and Yang energies, floated.
The Taoist map was almost three feet long, and between reality and illusion, it intertwined and deduced the way of Yin and Yang, the extreme of Yang embracing Yin, and the extreme of Yin embracing Yang.
Beside the forging platform, Lu Changsheng held his breath and concentrated, pinching his hands to perform the final treasure sacrifice, connecting his life.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
The Taoist map trembled, one Yin and one Yang moved like the sun and the moon, encompassing everything, forming a vast starry sky, and corresponding to mysterious ancient symbols.
I don’t know how long it took, the Taoist map surged with fiery luster, like the sun rising in the east, the golden crow soaring, mountains and rivers appeared, flowing with warm and vibrant light, nurturing all things.
The Yin and Yang rotated, and the Taoist map surged with a dark black color, as if an endless hell appeared, with all kinds of things.
In the end, the power of Yin and Yang creation surged, black and white, Yin and Yang, interdependent, life and death standing side by side!
“The Yin Yang Taoist Map is finally completed!”
Lu Changsheng looked at the picture scroll in front of him, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, his eyes full of joy.
After four months of refining, he finally refined his natal magic weapon!
As he expected, this magic weapon barely reached the level of a high-grade magic weapon!
“Congratulations, Young Master, for the completion of the magic weapon.”
Honglian congratulated Lu Changsheng.
Even though she was a Nascent Soul True Monarch in her previous life, she witnessed and participated in the refining process of the Yin Yang Taoist Map, and could not help but marvel at this magic weapon.
Making the mysterious mist in Lu Changsheng’s heart even more intense!
“Honglian, thank you for your hard work these days.”
Lu Changsheng held the ancient map in his hand, admiring it.
With this natal magic weapon, his combat power will be further improved.
Not to mention anything else, with the Yin Yang Taoist Map, coupled with his tenth-level Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, he is enough to ignore the magic weapon supernatural powers of the Core Formation mid-stage cultivator, and directly confront the Core Formation late-stage Grand Cultivator.
In this situation, and then through the Yin Yang Taoist Map to seal the world and suppress the void.
As long as the opponent is approached by him, and then relying on the Thunder Gang Dragon Flame and the Evil-repelling Golden Thunder, even a Core Formation late-stage Grand Cultivator will find it difficult to resist!
“When Xiaochun breaks through the Core Formation, it’s time to go to Da Mengze.”
This magic weapon refining completely emptied Lu Changsheng’s money.
Continuing to sit and eat, there is really no money for milk powder.
He put away the Yin Yang Taoist Map, walked out of the Weapon Refining Hall with Honglian, came to the Sumeru Cave, and looked at the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit Tree.
The five fruits on the spiritual fruit tree were already the size of fists, and the five-colored Xia light flowed.
“Another drop of Myriad Spirits Sky-Reaching Dew will be completely ripe.”
Lu Changsheng had already allocated the five Five Elements Spiritual Fruits.
One for his daughter Lu Ruyi.
Her spiritual root is too poor, if she does not rely on natural treasures to wash the foundation, the third level of Foundation Establishment will be the end.
Even if she relies on the Breaking Stage Pill and is lucky enough to break through the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, her potential will be exhausted.
She has been working hard these years and has performed very well. Lu Changsheng is naturally willing to give her a Five Elements Spiritual Fruit as a reward to continue her path.
Then one each for Meng Xiaochun and Xiao Xiyue.
Meng Xiaochun is now at the peak of Foundation Establishment, waiting for the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit to mature.
Once it matures, she can prepare for Core Formation!
As for Xiao Xiyue, although it will take a long time for her to attack Core Formation, she can prepare one in advance.
As for the remaining two, Lu Changsheng plans to reserve one first, and give one to Lu Quanzhen.
After Lu Quanzhen’s body is almost conditioned, if he wants to continue to practice the “Yin Yang Five Elements Kunpeng Art” and maintain the balance of the technique, he must rely on external objects.
And the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit is very suitable for him, and it also has the effect of washing the physical foundation!
“Zhenzhen.”
Lu Changsheng found Qu Zhenzhen and asked how long it would take for the next drop of Myriad Spirits Sky-Reaching Dew.
Since the Myriad Spirits Bottle was handed over to Qu Zhenzhen, he did not remember the situation of the Myriad Spirits Sky-Reaching Dew.
“Husband, there are still two months.”
Qu Zhenzhen said so.
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded, and then found Lu Miaoyun with her to inquire about the situation at home.
There was nothing major at home.
Lu Qingsong and Lu Qingyan had already gone to the Yuling Sect to investigate the spiritual land.
Although spiritual land is rare, with the current situation of Bihu Mountain, it is not difficult to plot a second-order spiritual land.
However, the main purpose of the Lu family is to advance into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, so they need to make many preparations and conduct multi-faceted site inspections.
Then there is the Qingluan Immortal City that Lu Changsheng is concerned about, there is still no news.
There was no news of the return of True Monarch Qingluan.
“Okay, good.”
Lu Changsheng put his arms around his two lovely wives and communicated his feelings with them in depth.
Then he stayed at home with his wives, concubines, sons and daughters, waiting for the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit to mature and Meng Xiaochun to form her core!
