Chapter 571: The Shangguan Patriarch who came to mess things up, the Jade Liquid Marrow Cleansing Pill

Arriving at the mountain gate, Lu Changsheng saw a middle-aged man around fifty years old with distinct facial features, a thin build, and wearing a wide purple robe with thunder patterns.

“This old man is Shangguan Zhan. I heard that Realist Lu is holding a Core Formation Ceremony, so I came to join in the fun. I came uninvited, Realist Lu won’t mind, right?”

Although this Ancestor Shangguan was thin, his voice was very loud, and his whole person was like an ancient pine tree, exuding a majestic and awe-inspiring aura from the inside out.

“Guests are welcome, Fellow Daoist Shangguan has come from afar, I am very grateful for your kindness, please come inside!”

Lu Changsheng saw that this Ancestor Shangguan also brought a stern young man carrying a thunder blade, and felt that they were here with ill intentions.

“Since I’m here, I naturally have to offer a congratulatory gift. This is the third-order ‘Purple Thunder Astral Qi’ that I just refined, so I’ll use it as a congratulatory gift!”

After entering the main hall, Ancestor Shangguan held a jade bottle glowing with crystal thunder in his hand and flicked it towards Lu Changsheng. During the process, wisps of thunder astral energy overflowed.

“Purple Thunder Astral Qi!?”

Many people in the hall showed envious expressions.

It is rumored that the Shangguan family owns a Thunder Pool treasure, which can condense third-order astral qi through the thunder and evil earth veins.

This astral qi can not only be used as a Core Formation spiritual object for thunder techniques, but also can be used to refine thunder attribute magical treasures.

“This old thing really came with ill intentions.”

Lu Changsheng saw the thunder astral energy overflowing from the jade bottle, his eyes narrowed slightly, and in a flash of lightning, he cast a third-order high-grade talisman - the Spirit Suppressing Talisman!

“Om!”

The talisman bloomed with golden light, forming a brocade, wrapping the jade bottle in front of him, and then steadily fell into Lu Changsheng’s hands.

“Huh!?”

The cultivators in the hall saw this scene and were awe-stricken, realizing that there was a problem with the Purple Thunder Astral Qi just now.

Meng Xiaochan, next to the main seat, gently lowered her jade hand, and a highly toxic substance appeared in her palm.

“This Purple Thunder Astral Qi is too violent, the container needs to be restricted. I came in a hurry and forgot. Please don’t blame me, Realist Lu.”

Ancestor Shangguan saw this and said with an apologetic look.

But the people present were not fools and knew that this was a test.

If Lu Changsheng hadn’t seen through the test, or didn’t have enough means to catch the porcelain bottle safely, he would lose face in public.

Several families who had a good relationship with Bihu Mountain secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the world of cultivation, it is common for newly promoted Foundation Establishment or Core Formation cultivators to be tested by hostile forces at celebrations, or even propose sparring.

If the performance is too poor, not only oneself, but even the entire family’s reputation will be greatly damaged.

“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Shangguan’s gift is so generous, how could Lu blame you.”

In this situation, Lu Changsheng naturally wouldn’t directly flare up, and said with a fake smile.

In his heart, he thought, you are already courting death, be careful when you go out in the future, don’t get caught by this Realist, otherwise you will suffer!

“Realist Lu is generous.”

Ancestor Shangguan didn’t seem to hear the sarcasm in Lu Changsheng’s words, chuckled, and continued, “Why don’t I see your son Lu Ping’an? My younger generation is useless and was defeated by your son. I have always wanted to meet this young hero.”

“My son just had some insights the other day and is in seclusion, so he didn’t come.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t say that his son went out to train, and just made up a reason.

“I see.”

Ancestor Shangguan seemed a little regretful, and then continued, “I heard that Realist Lu also has a son named Lu Chensha, who shone brightly in the Purple Nether Secret Realm.”

“My unworthy junior heard of your son’s great name and wants to see your son’s demeanor and learn a thing or two. Is it possible?”

As he spoke, he pointed to the stern young man carrying a thunder blade beside him.

“Of course, if your clan has disciples who want to challenge my unworthy junior, you can also do so. For this, I have also prepared some彩头, just to add some fun to Realist Lu’s celebration.”

After Ancestor Shangguan finished speaking, he lightly raised his palm and took out three natural treasures from his storage ring.

They were a piece of charred thunder wood exuding a thunderous aura; a fist-sized piece of black meteorite iron filled with thunder; and a porcelain bottle of pills.

“Third-order Thunder Strike Wood!”

“Third-order Heavenly Thunder Meteorite Iron!”

“This is… the secret pill of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Jade Liquid Marrow Cleansing Pill. Foundation Establishment cultivators can take this pill to cleanse their marrow, make up for deficiencies, and improve the quality of their Dao Foundation!”

“I didn’t expect this Ancestor Shangguan to be so generous!”

The cultivators from all sides who came to the scene were shocked and extremely envious when they saw these three natural treasures.

You must know that these three items are extremely rare and hard to come by in the outside world.

Especially the ‘Jade Liquid Marrow Cleansing Pill’, which can be called a top-grade elixir for Foundation Establishment cultivators!

However, they also realized that this Ancestor Shangguan was here to cause trouble, or rather, to get back at them!

If none of the Lu family’s disciples could defeat this Shangguan family disciple, not only would they not have to pay any price, but they would also make the Lu family lose face!

“It seems that this Ancestor Shangguan came for the Purple Nether Secret Realm incident.”

“The Shangguan family is really… vengeful.”

“Although the Shangguan family doesn’t care about the death of a few Qi Refining disciples, the Purple Nether Secret Realm also has the meaning of a competition and trial for various forces. The Shangguan family’s disciples were killed by the Lu family, and the leader Shangguan Jiuyang was defeated by Lu Ping’an, greatly damaging the family’s prestige. Now that they have the opportunity, they naturally want to regain face.”

“I wonder if the Lu family can win a few rounds.”

The cultivators in the field did not speak, and all looked at Lu Changsheng, wanting to know if he would agree.

“So, you’re trying to make trouble, huh?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng also understood the intention of this Ancestor Shangguan.

To put it bluntly, whether it was the test just now or the sparring now, he just wanted to trample his family from top to bottom.

To tell him Lu’s family, and also to tell the world, that there is also a gap between Core Formation families!

The confrontation in the Purple Nether Secret Realm did not represent the true strength of his Shangguan family!

“Alas, I just want to hold a ceremony and develop the family peacefully, why do you have to force me!”

Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart and looked at the young man next to Ancestor Shangguan.

Fifth level of Foundation Establishment cultivation.

But since the other party can be brought by Ancestor Shangguan, his strength must be extraordinary and cannot be measured by ordinary Foundation Establishment.

“Husband, since Ancestor Shangguan has such an interest, why not call Chensha and the others over to spar with this little friend? It just so happens that this concubine has long heard of the prestige of the Divine Blade Shangguan family, but has never seen it before.”

At this time, Ling Zixiao, wearing a blue palace dress, smiled lightly beside the main seat.

Others don’t know the strength of the Lu family’s disciples, but she knows it?

Now that the Shangguan family is bullying them, how can they not fight back!

The only pity is that her son Lu Lingxiao is still in the Daze and has not returned.

But with Lu Wangshu and Lu Qingxuan, it is enough.

“Xiang’er also wants to see it.”

Meng Xiaochan also spoke beside her.

Although she is obedient and docile next to Lu Changsheng, she doesn’t mean that she has a gentle personality.

“Alright, since Fellow Daoist Shangguan has such an interest, Lu will naturally not refuse.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Immediately, he sent a voice transmission to call his sons and daughters from another side hall.

Because the main hall has limited space, and the Lu family has a large number of disciples, they all have dinner in a side hall.

After a while, Lu Ruyi, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Wangshu, Lu Chensha, Lu Yunlou, Lu Xingchen, Lu Qingxuan and others came.

Lu Changsheng told Ancestor Shangguan’s words.

The Lu family disciples present were not fools.

They immediately realized that this Ancestor Shangguan was here to make trouble.

“Father, since Senior Shangguan has such prizes, daughter wants to try it and challenge this Fellow Daoist Shangguan!”

Lu Wangshu, wearing a pink and white dress and with a beautiful appearance, looked at the stern young man from the Shangguan family and said with a smile.

Lu Ping’an is traveling, and Lu Quanzhen and Lu Qingshan are not at home.

So if you want to count, the current combat power of the Lu family’s disciples is the highest for Lu Wangshu.

Moreover, Lu Wangshu’s cultivation level is the same as that of this Shangguan family disciple, just at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.

Of course, Xuan Yuanzhu is a treasure and does not count as true cultivation.

“Lu Wangshu!”

“Among the Lu family’s sons, except for Lu Ping’an, this Lu Wangshu is the most talented!”

The cultivators in the hall all knew Lu Wangshu, or had heard of her name.

Not only did she inherit Lu Changsheng’s inheritance of the talisman, but she even surpassed him in some ways.

Not long after breaking through the Foundation Establishment, she relied on thousands of talismans to kill six Foundation Establishments alone, making a name for herself in the Qingyun area.

Before the congratulatory gift, she even sent nine second-order top-grade talismans, indicating that she is already a second-order top-grade talisman master at a young age!

“Lu Wangshu.”

Ancestor Shangguan looked at Lu Wangshu in front of him.

He naturally understood the Lu family’s situation when he came here.

Knowing that except for Lu Ping’an and Lu Qingshan who joined the Yue Kingdom Jinyang Sect, this Lu Wangshu is the most evil.

With a third-order talisman master like Lu Changsheng as his father, no one knows how many talismans and high-level spiritual talismans she has.

Such a talisman cultivator is simply terrifying!

Even the sword cultivators and knife cultivators who are known as unparalleled in attack and invincible at the same level dare not face her head-on!

But since he dared to bring his family’s younger generation here and release such words, he naturally has confidence.

Knowing that talisman cultivators need time to deploy talisman formations.

As long as she can’t deploy the talisman formation in this process, then she will win half of it.

If it really doesn’t work, losing to Lu Wangshu who relies on talismans doesn’t matter.

As long as he can suppress the other Lu family disciples so that they can’t raise their heads, his purpose will be achieved!

“Poyun, what do you think?”

Ancestor Shangguan looked at the stern young man next to him and asked in a low voice.

“Shangguan Poyun is willing to learn from Miss Lu’s supernatural powers.”

The stern young man immediately stood up, looked at Lu Wangshu, and like a sword cultivator, revealed a sharp and domineering aura.

“It’s too small here to use it. There’s just an open space outside the manor that can be used as a battlefield.”

Ling Zixiao said.

Then she looked at the cultivators in the hall and said elegantly: “If you have the leisure, you can also come and see.”

“Naturally, naturally.”

The cultivation bases in the hall heard the words and responded politely, also wanting to take this opportunity to see the strength of the two families’ disciples.

However, they couldn’t help but mutter in their hearts.

“Why does this Lu family’s mistress look so confident of winning?”

“This Shangguan Poyun can be brought over by Ancestor Shangguan, so it must be simple!”

“Lu Wangshu has a record of suppressing the late Foundation Establishment, so she shouldn’t be afraid of this Shangguan Poyun!”

“As a second-order talisman master, and with a father like Realist Lu, she probably has third-order talismans on her body.”

“If it’s a competition, you definitely can’t use third-order talismans, otherwise what’s the point.”

Outside the Lake Heart Island Hall, the guests and cultivators in several side halls saw this scene and were all surprised and astonished, not knowing what was going on.

But after hearing the explanations of several Lu family disciples, they immediately came to join in the fun.

After a while, everyone came to the open space on the outermost side of Lake Heart Island.

“Wangshu, this little friend from the Divine Blade Shangguan family is not ordinary, you must be careful and don’t be careless.”

Meng Xiaochan said to Lu Wangshu, secretly transmitting her voice to be ruthless.

She has a very good relationship with Lu Wangshu.

Knowing that the other party’s personality is somewhat similar to Nangong Yaoyao, seemingly innocent and romantic, but actually black-bellied.

“Don’t worry, Sister Xiaochan.”

Lu Wangshu turned her head towards him and smiled, making a gesture of reassurance.

Ancestor Shangguan also transmitted his voice to Shangguan Poyun, indicating that he should concede defeat as soon as the opponent used a talisman array.

After all, few cultivators of the same level could withstand a talisman cultivator going all out.

At the same time, Ling Zixiao manipulated the great array of Azurewave Lake, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the island in the center of the lake to surge, array patterns to emerge, and a battlefield to be delineated.

“Miss Lu, please enlighten me!”

Shangguan Poyun’s Thunder Blade was unsheathed behind him, his purple martial robe fluttered, and his aura rose steadily.

“Fellow Daoist Shangguan, please!”

Seeing this, Lu Wangshu’s bright and beautiful face also showed a serious look, realizing that Shangguan Poyun in front of her was no ordinary person, and the Ninenine Profound True Strategy appeared in her hand.

“Let’s begin.”

Lu Changsheng said upon seeing this.

“Whoosh!”

Shangguan Poyun knew that when facing a talisman cultivator, he must not give them any chance to breathe, and immediately made his move.

He slashed forward with the Thunder Blade in his hand, the blade light danced, and many lightning arcs surged out, breaking through the air and shooting towards Lu Wangshu.

As soon as the first blade came out, he continued to wave it, bursting out countless thunderous blade energies, forming a blade net, constantly rotating, like a storm, a net from the sky and earth.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

When these blade lights all attacked Lu Wangshu, his whole body’s blood and mana surged, a large amount of thunder grew around him, and the dust under his feet spread invisibly, as if brewing an unparalleled blade.

“Clang clang clang!”

Only to see the Ninenine Profound True Strategy in Lu Wangshu’s hand turned into countless iron needles, lying horizontally in front of her, and then she raised her hand to outline talismans.

“Drawing talismans in the void!”

Even though many people had heard of the reputation of the Lu family’s talisman inheritance, they still couldn’t help but exclaim when they saw such a method.

“Heavenly Punishment, Five Thunders Strike!”

Seeing this, Shangguan Poyun stepped forward, and his whole body suddenly shot out.

The thunder arcs generated in his body were all poured out from the Thunder Blade in his hand, like a thunderclap on dry land, bursting out with brilliant and domineering thunder, forming a series of blade energies.

One!

Two!

Three!

Five sharp blade energies intertwined in the void, forming a bucket-thick purple thunderbolt, like a thunder dragon roaring out.

“Such a method is truly amazing!”

“Divine Thunder Blade Art, this son has actually cultivated the Shangguan family’s Divine Thunder Blade Art to such a level, no wonder Ancestor Shangguan brought him here.”

“It is rumored that the Shangguan family’s Divine Thunder Blade Art has borrowed from the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Heavenly Sword Art, it is truly sharp and domineering!”

The cultivators in the arena were all shocked when they saw this scene.

Many of the Foundation Establishment cultivators here were ancestors of various families, but facing Shangguan Poyun’s blade, they asked themselves that it would be difficult to resist.

Facing the incoming thunder dragon, Lu Wangshu’s expression remained unchanged, and she gently patted her storage bag.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

Five second-rank intermediate puppets appeared, standing around her, buzzing and trembling like war machines, forming a majestic and astonishing power.

“Boom boom boom!”

The five puppets shot out together, striking the thunder dragon horizontally, causing a roaring rumble like an iron tide, and the thunder arcs swept in all directions, flying sand and rocks.

Ling Zixiao gently manipulated the array plate in his hand, causing a layer of faint water curtain to form on the battlefield where the two were fighting, unloading the aftermath of the mana.

“Hiss, one person actually possesses five second-rank puppets, what extravagance!”

“As expected, she can only rely on external objects.”

“Who told her to have a good father.”

“How great would it be if my father was a Core Formation True Person!”

Some people saw Lu Wangshu’s methods and showed envy in their eyes.

After all, second-rank puppets are difficult to buy on the market, and you need to go to Immortal City, or through auctions.

But Lu Wangshu, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, actually possessed five puppets.

“Wait, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator can actually operate five puppets at the same time, while drawing talismans in the void, what the hell! ?”

“That’s not right, these puppets are also not right! Why do they look a bit like a battle formation.”

However, some people saw something wrong.

“True Person Lu is generous to his children.”

Ancestor Shangguan said lightly to Lu Changsheng when he saw this scene, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

Blade cultivators, like sword cultivators, only refine one natal treasured blade, and do not rely on external objects.

Therefore, they all look down on cultivators who rely on external objects.

“Fellow Daoist Shangguan is laughing, my daughter, like Lu, only cultivates divine sense talismans. If she encounters a sudden attack, if she doesn’t have other means to protect herself, she will be too passive, not as good as Fellow Daoist Shangguan’s family’s divine abilities.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t care about such sarcasm.

After all, you still want a talisman cultivator like me to face you, a blade cultivator, one-on-one, right?

If you have the ability, give me a chance to set up a talisman array before making a move.

Only to see on the battlefield, Shangguan Poyun kept waving his blade, his whole body’s aura was tragic and diffused, and the power of thunder was unstoppable, forcing Lu Wangshu to only rely on puppets and talismans to passively defend.

However, just as Shangguan Poyun kept approaching, and was about to break through Lu Wangshu’s defense, the five puppets suddenly burst out with a terrifying spiritual pressure.

The talismans outlined in the void were all reflected and formed, dozens of them directly turned into hundreds, bursting out and enveloping Shangguan Poyun.

“Not good!”

Ancestor Shangguan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.

But in just an instant.

“Boom! Boom! Boom boom!”

Only to see that these talismans were not arranged into an array at all, and they directly exploded with a bang just by connecting their auras, setting off endless heavenly thunder and earthly fire, and a dust storm swept through.

The entire island in the center of the lake seemed to be shaking under this terrifying power, and it was almost about to break through the formation formed by Ling Zixiao.

“This this this”

“Sister Wangshu’s attack is really ruthless”

In an instant, all the cultivators were shocked.

With such power, not to mention the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, even the late-Foundation Establishment stage and peak-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would be directly blasted to death!

However, in this fleeting moment, Ancestor Shangguan made his move.

The surging and astonishing Core Formation mana surged out, and a thunderbolt suppressed all the power of the talismans, and the smoke disappeared.

“Poyun.”

His mana protected Shangguan Poyun.

Only to see that his hair was disheveled, his robe was broken, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his blood and mana were unstable.

If he hadn’t made a move, the power of the talismans just now would have been able to directly blast him to death.

“Little girl, good methods.”

Ancestor Shangguan looked at Lu Wangshu coldly and said.

How could he not see that she was deliberately showing weakness before, just to take the opportunity to seriously injure, or even kill, Shangguan Poyun.

You must know that Shangguan Poyun is not only gifted, but also his direct line, a Core Formation seed of the family!

“You girl, how many times has your father told you, don’t use your methods indiscriminately until you have completely mastered them, and this is just a friendly spar, it would be bad if you injure or cripple Little Friend Shangguan.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng immediately said to his daughter Lu Wangshu, but without the slightest intention of blaming her.

Then he looked at Ancestor Shangguan, cupped his hands slightly, and said somewhat apologetically: “My daughter is naughty, her cultivation is not up to par, causing her to act without restraint and injure Little Friend Shangguan, I’m really sorry, Lu has pills here.”

“It’s normal to be unable to hold back during a spar, and besides, it’s just some minor injuries.”

Ancestor Shangguan said in a deep voice, taking out a pill from his storage ring and giving it to Shangguan Poyun.

It’s normal for him, as an ancestor, to make a move to prevent deaths and injuries during this kind of junior sparring.

If he were to scold the juniors for not having martial ethics, it would be a bit shameless.

Moreover, this is Azure Lake Mountain, and it is impossible for him to really tear face with Lu Changsheng.

“Senior Shangguan, did this junior win this battle?”

Lu Wangshu didn’t have the ashamed look of doing something wrong, and directly asked Ancestor Shangguan.

“Which one do you like?”

Although he was upset in his heart, as a Core Formation ancestor, Shangguan Zhan still had the magnanimity, and placed the three prizes in front of Lu Wangshu.

“Let’s take this third-rank Thunderstruck Wood, it can be used to make talisman skin.”

Lu Wangshu said.

If the most precious of the three is the Jade Dew Marrow Cleansing Pill.

But she can’t use this pill, so it’s better to give the opportunity to others.

But seeing that Shangguan Poyun only had minor injuries, she felt a little regretful.

Ancestor Shangguan didn’t say anything and gave the third-rank Thunderstruck Wood to Lu Wangshu.

“Senior Shangguan, I heard that this fellow Daoist came here for me, I wonder if he can fight again now?”

At this time, Lu Chensha walked out and looked at Shangguan Poyun and said.

Although his cultivation level is not high, only breaking through the third level of Foundation Establishment.

But over the years, he has cultivated many iron-fire ants in his hand, and he also has two second-rank spirit pets, the Thousand-legged Centipede and the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider, and he also has the confidence to fight Shangguan Poyun.

Of course, he would not say anything like waiting for Shangguan Poyun to adjust his injuries.

His own cultivation level is one realm lower, so why should he fight you fairly?

“You are Lu Chensha?”

Ancestor Shangguan looked at the young man in front of him, wearing a cyan brocade robe, with fair skin, giving people a feminine and cold feeling.

“This junior is Lu Chensha.”

Lu Chensha cupped his hands, neither humble nor arrogant.

“Come fight!”

Shangguan Poyun heard this, grasped the Thunder Blade, looked at Lu Chensha, and said coldly.

Among the Shangguan family disciples in the Purple Nether Secret Realm, one of them was very close to him, but died in Lu Chensha’s hands.

“Lu Chensha is only at the third level of Foundation Establishment, isn’t he a bit overconfident.”

“This son was able to stand out in the Purple Nether Secret Realm, his methods are not simple, and Shangguan Poyun has just suffered no small injuries from Lu Wangshu.”

“But that Lu Wangshu is really ruthless, she looks beautiful and moving, but when she starts, hiss”

“What do you think, in the early years, Old Ancestor Lu secluded himself and didn’t come out, Azure Lake Mountain relied entirely on Lu Pingan and this Lu Wangshu to support it.”

The visiting cultivators looked at the battlefield in front of them, discussing in a low voice, and were still amazed by the battle just now, and had a little more understanding of talisman cultivators in their hearts.

Some people even muttered and guessed how amazing Lu Changsheng’s methods, who is also a talisman cultivator, would be.

At the same time, Lu Chensha released the Thousand-legged Centipede and the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider.

“Two second-rank spirit pets! ?”

“Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider, it is rumored that in the Purple Nether Secret Realm that year, Lu Chensha relied on this spider to kill all the Shangguan family disciples!”

“I heard that he was only at the Qi Refining stage at that time, but he actually subdued a second-rank demon beast, I really don’t know how he did it.”

“Look at his appearance, his skin is pale, it is likely that it is the sequelae of contracting this kind of demon beast”

At this time, everyone also began to discuss Lu Chensha’s situation.

He showed his skills in the Purple Nether Secret Realm in his early years, and was later followed by many family forces.

“Poyun, don’t look at the eyes of that Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider.”

Ancestor Shangguan looked at it for a few eyes and then transmitted his voice to Shangguan Poyun to instruct him.

Even if the blade cultivator’s divine sense will is much tougher than other cultivators.

But facing the Ghost-faced Soul-devouring Spider’s soul attack, if you are not careful, you can easily be caught.

“Let’s begin.”

Seeing that the two were ready, Lu Changsheng said lightly, also wanting to see how much his son Lu Chensha had improved over the years.
