Chapter 570: Congratulations from all sides at the Jindan Ceremony!
As time passed, the news of the Lu family’s Core Formation Ceremony had basically been learned by all the surrounding family forces.
The news of Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough to Core Formation in Da Meng Immortal City also gradually spread, reaching the Qingyun region and even the entire Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world.
For a time, the fact that he, as a clan cultivator, born as a live-in son-in-law, with inferior spiritual roots, had broken through to Core Formation at the age of one hundred, caused much discussion and speculation in the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world.
There were rumors that Lu Changsheng was able to break through to Core Formation not only because he had his own opportunities, but also because he received support from Da Meng Immortal City.
There were also rumors that Lu Changsheng had obtained a Core Formation opportunity in the Tianyuan Secret Realm in his early years.
There were also rumors that Lu Changsheng’s eldest son, Lu Ping’an, had once obtained an unparalleled opportunity, including a Core Condensation Pill, which Lu Changsheng used to break through to Core Formation.
In addition to this, no one believed the rumors about Lu Changsheng’s inferior spiritual roots and extremely poor talent.
Early on, there were rumors that Lu Changsheng was a kind of hidden spiritual body, a dual cultivation spiritual body, a fertility spiritual body.
Now that he has broken through to Core Formation, this matter has almost been confirmed!
After all, in the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world for thousands of years, there has never been a case of inferior spiritual roots breaking through to Core Formation!
Lu Changsheng was quite satisfied with the reaction to these rumors.
It had both the legendary story of a small person rising up, and was not too outrageous or untraceable.
However, the fact that there could be such a reaction was also due to Ling Zixiao’s early preparation of public opinion.
Now many of the public opinions are spread from Da Meng Immortal City.
Otherwise, how could so many people pay attention to Lu Changsheng, an ordinary clan cultivator, with all kinds of information and early deeds.
As these news spread, the matter of Lu Changsheng’s Core Formation in the Qingyun region was pushed to a new level of popularity.
“Breaking through to Core Formation at the age of one hundred, this Lu Changsheng is hiding so deeply, I’m afraid we all underestimated him!”
“It is estimated that he obtained the Core Formation opportunity in the Tianyuan Secret Realm in his early years, so he has been in seclusion all these years to prepare for Core Formation!”
“He became the Deputy City Lord of Da Meng Immortal City, is he preparing to go to Da Meng Ze to develop?”
“If the Lu family goes to Da Meng Ze to develop, it would be a good thing for us. The current Qingyun region really can’t accommodate two Core Formation families!”
“According to the news from Da Meng Immortal City, when Lu Changsheng broke through to Core Formation, the celestial phenomenon reached a maximum of nine miles, and he even hoped to be a half-step Golden Core. Why didn’t he accumulate more years?”
“It must be because of the wasteland war, his Lu family is in a dilemma, and the resources in the family are insufficient, so he chose to break through to Core Formation, wanting to get a share of the pie from the wasteland war!”
“Now that Old Ancestor Lu has broken through to Core Formation, I wonder if he will take a wife and concubines. Quickly select a few talented and clever people from the family!”
" . "
As the day of the Core Formation Ceremony approached, more and more family forces sent people to visit Bihu Mountain.
Almost all the famous family forces in the Qingyun region had sent people.
Even if there was usually no contact, upon hearing of such a grand ceremony, they would prepare a generous gift and come to congratulate.
And Lu Changsheng, as the protagonist, was at Da Meng Immortal City at this moment.
For such a grand ceremony, his wives Ling Zixiao and Meng Xiaochun had to show their faces.
So he came over early to prepare to take Ling Zixiao and Meng Xiaochun back at that time.
During these days, he was here with Honglian for dual cultivation, paying attention to the situation and news of the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world through Da Meng Immortal City.
He also asked Ling Zixiao to pay more attention to the intelligence information of other countries and the movements of the demonic forces.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, in an antique and elegant cave dwelling.
Lu Changsheng and Honglian were discussing the Great Dao of Yin and Yang on a jade bed with sparkling blue waves.
In order to be able to cultivate and discuss Taoism more comfortably and appropriately, this jade bed took a lot of time and effort for the two of them, and its hardness was comparable to a magic weapon.
However, when the two of them cultivated to a deep level, the bed still ‘creaked’ and made a series of pleasant immortal sounds that made people’s blood boil.
Several days later, Lu Changsheng looked at the seemingly weak Peach Blossom Goddess in his arms and couldn’t help but admire her.
Even though he had been dual cultivating with Honglian countless times, Lu Changsheng still had a feeling of reluctance to let go and a taste of the marrow when facing her flawless immortal body shaped by the peach wood spirit fetus.
Of course, this was also inseparable from the goddess’s openness.
Like his wives in the early years, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao and others, all had a process from being reserved to letting go.
But when Honglian discussed Taoism with him, she clearly possessed a transcendent and refined, dignified and luxurious temperament accumulated over the years, but she could let go of her reserve without conflict, catering and bewitching in the discussion of Taoism, which was simply a stunner in the world!
Sometimes, Lu Changsheng even made a slight probe, and this high-ranking, peerless goddess was willing to satisfy him.
It can be said that every time Lu Changsheng discussed Taoism with Honglian, he could obtain unprecedented satisfaction.
The only slight difference was that when discussing Taoism with Honglian, it was not good to call Meng Xiaochun and Bai Ling and others.
After lingering with Honglian for a while and saying a few words, Lu Changsheng got up, put on his robe, and went to accompany Meng Xiaochun.
Now that his daughter Lu Mengchan was a little older, she had time to cultivate with Bai Ling taking care of her.
Several days later, Lu Changsheng and Meng Xiaochun walked out of the cave dwelling together.
“Daddy!”
Lu Baixi was very clingy to Lu Changsheng now.
Or rather, she loved to learn too much.
As long as she saw Lu Changsheng, she would ask him for advice on cultivation.
After so long of teaching, Lu Changsheng deeply understood why the Golden Winged Roc wanted to pass on his bloodline techniques to her, it was really a headache to teach.
But there was no way, who made her his own daughter, Lu Changsheng could only grit his teeth and teach, discerning her primitive runes one by one.
However, Lu Changsheng was not without gain in this process.
By analyzing Lu Baixi’s bloodline techniques, he understood several musical spells.
If he needed to do something one day, he could also use the magic weapon ‘Canghai Longyin’ to cast musical spells against people.
After teaching his daughter, Lu Changsheng accompanied his wife and daughter for a while, then went to rest.
With the Core Formation Ceremony about to begin, Lu Changsheng handed over Da Meng Immortal City and the Golden Winged Roc to Honglian to take charge.
He took Ling Zixiao, Meng Xiaochun, and his daughter Lu Linghe back.
As for Bai Ling, Bing’er, his daughters Lu Baixi, Lu Mengchan and others, they were temporarily placed in Da Meng Immortal City.
“Buzz!”
Lu Changsheng activated the Michen Banner.
The women already knew about the Michen Banner.
But currently only Lu Miaoge and Lu Wangshu had experienced it.
So Ling Zixiao and Meng Xiaochun were quite curious.
They saw the small flag turn into a cloud of colorful clouds, wrapping the four of them, and then setting off layers of ripples, between the spinning of the sky and the earth, they returned to Bihu Mountain.
Lu Linghe had just opened her eyes when her whole body swayed, and she wanted to vomit with a ‘wow’.
Lu Changsheng immediately supported her and used his magic power to soothe her qi and blood.
This kind of teleportation was still prone to discomfort for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After a moment, Lu Linghe recovered and said aggrievedly: “Daddy, it was so dizzy and uncomfortable just now!”
“It will be better if you eat less next time.”
Lu Changsheng said that being so dizzy was also related to her eating too much today.
" . "
Ling Zixiao helplessly glanced at her daughter, and then said with great interest: “This kind of magic weapon is really magical, Lang Jun, can I borrow it from you later to study it, maybe it will be helpful for setting up a teleportation array.”
“No problem.”
Lu Changsheng directly handed the spiritual treasure to Ling Zixiao, indicating that she could watch it at will.
The four walked down the top of Biyun Peak.
It could be seen that Bihu Mountain at this moment was a scene of celebration and liveliness.
Cultivators were constantly driving flying boats, escape lights, and spirit beast mounts to come.
It could be said that all the families and forces in the Qingyun region had sent people.
Even some loose cultivators and clan cultivators who happened to be in the Qingyun region might come to join in the fun after hearing about such a top event as the Core Formation Ceremony.
“Husband!”
“Congratulations to Husband for attaining Core Formation, the Great Dao is promising!”
“Greetings, Old Master, congratulations to Old Master for attaining Core Formation, the Immortal Dao has taken another step forward!”
“Congratulations, Father, on breaking through to Core Formation! Congratulations, Daddy!”
In recent days, Lu Changsheng had been in secluded cultivation, stabilizing his realm.
So, arriving at the Lu family mansion, his wives, concubines, children, and daughters immediately offered congratulations and felicitations upon seeing him.
“Good, good, good.”
Lu Changsheng’s face showed joy, and his mind recalled the scene from his early years at Green Bamboo Mountain, where Lu Miaoyun would bring the wives, concubines, children, and daughters of the family to congratulate him whenever his cultivation broke through.
Back then, the children in the family were mostly little tots, each one excited and lively, hopping and skipping around him.
Now, decades have passed, and the people congratulating him have changed several times.
The earliest children have already become elders in their twilight years.
And facing such a scene, he gradually lost the sense of pride, happiness, and satisfaction that arose spontaneously back then, becoming much more indifferent.
“Yun’er, is the ceremony about to begin?”
Lu Changsheng asked his wife.
“Husband, there’s still some time, but we can take our seats now,”
Lu Miaoyun said with a gentle smile, very happy.
“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng called Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhenzhen, and Xia Zhiyue over.
Then, he directly used his Core Formation-level great magic power to form a rainbow light, taking his wives, concubines, children, and daughters towards the lake-center island where the grand ceremony was being held.
“Greetings, Father! Greetings, Ancestor!”
“Greetings, Lord of the Mountain!”
“Greetings, True Person Lu!”
The busy cultivators and guests of Azure Lake Mountain, seeing this rainbow light filled with Core Formation spiritual pressure, respectfully greeted him in unison.
“No need for excessive politeness!”
Lu Changsheng, dressed in a cyan brocade robe, with a dignified demeanor, said softly, his words easily spreading throughout Azure Lake Mountain.
Then, he took his wife to the cyan jade platform at the head of the main hall, sitting upright in the main seat, high above.
His wives Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhenzhen, Meng Xiaochan, and Xia Zhiyue sat on either side.
Below the main hall was the VIP seating area, occupied by scattered cultivators.
However, seeing that Lu Changsheng had already taken his seat, the ancestors who had arrived also took their seats, looking at Lu Changsheng with respectful and awed expressions.
After all, news is news, and rumors are rumors.
But truly seeing Lu Changsheng use Core Formation-level magic power and confirming that he had broken through to Core Formation, everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.
At the same time, congratulatory gifts continued to be announced.
“The Lu family of Green Bamboo Mountain, Lu Yuanzhong, presents a section of hundred-year-old jasper bamboo!”
“Elder of the Xie family of Spirit Creek Lake comes to offer congratulations, presenting a third-order water-wood root!”
“Elder of the Yuan family of Great Ape Mountain comes to offer congratulations, presenting a hundred catties of Mysterious Silver Sand!”
“Rain Lord of Misty Rain Market comes to offer congratulations, presenting a Blood Yang Fruit!”
Lu Changsheng didn’t know many of the cultivators who came to offer congratulatory gifts, but he knew all of these forces.
Perhaps knowing that Lu Changsheng was a third-order talisman master, and that the Lu family’s alchemy and puppets were relatively famous, many forces sent congratulatory gifts related to these three aspects.
“Daughter Lu Wangshu presents nine second-order top-grade talismans, congratulating Father on breaking through to Core Formation, from now on, the great path is promising, and the immortal path is evergreen!”
In addition to congratulations from various families and forces, the Lu family disciples also prepared congratulatory gifts.
Lu Wangshu, as the current representative of the Lu family, was the first to step forward, speaking with a smiling face.
“Not bad, Wangshu is thoughtful.”
Although Lu Changsheng didn’t think much of these things, he was very gratified by the intentions of his children.
After all, this represented that his children had finally grown up.
“Second-order top-grade talismans!?”
“This Lu family talisman fairy has become a second-order top-grade talisman master!?”
“Hiss, it is rumored that this woman obtained the true talisman inheritance of the Lu Ancestor, I didn’t expect her to be a second-order top-grade talisman master at such a young age!”
The cultivators who came to participate in the ceremony were mainly Foundation Establishment.
Hearing such congratulations, they were immediately moved, looking at Lu Wangshu with incredible surprise, their eyes revealing envy.
“Daughter Lu Ruyi presents a hundred-year-old vermillion fruit, congratulating Father on the great success of his magical powers, and Core Formation in a hundred years!”
At this time, Lu Ruyi, dressed in a cyan skirt and looking heroic and valiant, also stepped forward to offer a congratulatory gift.
“Good, Ruyi is thoughtful.”
Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile.
“Child Lu Yunlou has refined a set of second-order spiritual weapons, congratulating Father on breaking through to Core Formation and becoming a True Person!”
“Child Lu Chensha has hunted nine second-order demon cores, congratulating Father on breaking through to Core Formation, from now on, the great path is promising, and the immortal path is evergreen!”
“Grandchild Lu Xuanyu presents nine second-order middle-grade puppets, wishing Grandpa longevity and an evergreen immortal path!”
“Child Lu Xingchen refines .”
“.”
At this time, there were still many Lu family disciples outside, who needed to be responsible for family affairs and could not come to offer congratulations.
But those who could come and possessed a certain strength had all prepared congratulatory gifts, and the congratulatory gifts were not ordinary.
“Hiss, second-order talisman masters, second-order weapon refiners, second-order alchemists, second-order puppet masters, I didn’t expect the Lu family to have so many talented disciples!”
“Lu Chensha, this child is the ruthless person who led the extermination of the Shangguan family of Divine Blade in the Purple Nether Secret Realm, if this child hunted nine second-order demon beasts all by himself, growing up, he will be another Lu Ping’an, Lu Wangshu!”
“Hmm, why is the eldest son of the Lu family not here?”
Today, the congratulatory gifts of the Lu family disciples are also a display of the Lu family’s partial strength and foundation to other forces.
After all, such a large Core Formation family cannot rely on the ancestor Lu Changsheng alone to support it.
“Golden Dragon Ridge, Ancestor Jin of the Jin family arrives!”
At this time, a congratulatory announcement rang out.
“Greetings, True Person Lu, Jin Zhan of Golden Dragon Ridge presents a second-order spiritual land, wishing True Person great success in Core Formation, a smooth immortal path in the future, and longevity!”
The former Jin Zhan had thick eyebrows and a majestic face, filled with an aura of unique dominance.
But at this time, the whole person was much older, with gray hair at the temples, and no sharpness or vigor could be seen in his eyebrows and eyes, like an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, respectfully saluting Lu Changsheng.
“Hmm!?”
Everyone present was surprised, not expecting Jin Zhan to present a second-order spiritual land.
Such a congratulatory gift cannot be said to be not generous!
However, they instantly guessed that Jin Zhan was bowing his head to Azure Lake Mountain, wanting to resolve the grievances between the two families.
“Fellow Daoist Jin is too polite, please take a seat.”
Although the grievances between Azure Lake Mountain and Golden Dragon Ridge were known to the world, Lu Changsheng would naturally not be aggressive since the other party came to offer congratulations.
Moreover, he could see at a glance that Jin Zhan at this time was already crippled, having lost his ambition and Dao heart.
“Thank you, True Person Lu!”
Jin Zhan lowered his eyes and replied respectfully.
He still remembered that forty years ago, he was invited by the Zhao family of White Tiger Mountain to provide assistance, fighting Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge alone.
Although he was defeated and lost face, he held his breath in his heart, wanting to get back at them.
In the blink of an eye, forty years had passed, and the nouveau riche family and son-in-law that he once looked down upon had already become a Core Formation True Person that he dreamed of breaking through.
“Alas, the world is impermanent.”
In the main hall, the ancestors of various forces were very emotional seeing this scene.
Back then, Jin Zhan was also a famous genius of the Jin family, possessing the qualifications for Core Formation!
But now, his sharpness is gone.
And Lu Changsheng, born as a son-in-law, with low spiritual roots, has now become a high-ranking Core Formation True Person!
“The Shangguan family of Divine Blade, Ancestor Shangguan comes to offer congratulations!”
At this time, a loud voice rang out, indicating that the person who came was of extraordinary status.
The cultivators in the field were all shocked upon hearing this.
After all, in the Purple Nether Secret Realm in the early years, the Azure Lake Mountain Lu family and the Shangguan family of Divine Blade had a not small friction.
“Ancestor Shangguan!?”
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, immediately stood up, and prepared to welcome him.
After all, being a Core Formation True Person, and the other party even being a senior, he should personally welcome him out of courtesy.
