Chapter 593: Xuanmu vine, opportunity of Dragon Fish Island!

Ruyi County City.

Because Ruyi Marquis Manor’s Old Marquis, Old Ancestor Hong, had passed away, the entire county city had been draped in white for the past few days, with long white strips of cloth and lanterns hanging everywhere.

Besides the various powerful figures of Ruyi County, many Cultivation Families also sent people to pay their respects.

After all, Ruyi Marquis Manor’s Old Ancestor was an old friend of Old Ancestor Lu of Bihu Mountain.

And Hong Yi himself, relying on his savings and his relationship with Lu Changsheng, had established quite a few businesses in Hongye Valley Market, counting as a small Qi Refining force.

When Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue arrived at Ruyi Marquis Manor, they heard bursts of crying from the continuous courtyards.

They entered the Marquis Manor.

“Greetings, Immortal Master Changsheng!”

“Greetings, Father!”

“Greetings, Grandfather!”

Although Lu Changsheng’s appearance was not widely known in the mortal world.

However, Hong Yi had long since placed Lu Changsheng’s portrait in the Hong Family, indicating that all future generations of the Family should recognize him.

And the Lu Family and Hong Family had a very close relationship in the mortal world, so many Lu Family disciples also came to help and pay their respects for such an event.

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng did not want to be too high-profile, so he waved his hand lightly and walked into the main hall with Xiao Xiyue.

The place had already been set up as a mourning hall, with a group of filial sons and virtuous grandchildren weeping in mourning clothes.

“Greetings, Father-in-law! Immortal Master Xiyue!”

“Father! Aunt Xiao.”

Hong Xuanji and Lu Caizhen, hearing that their father-in-law and father had arrived, quickly came out to greet them.

The guests from the Cultivation World present were shocked by this scene and couldn’t help but gasp.

Although it was rumored that Old Ancestor Hong of the Hong Family was an old friend of Immortal Master Changsheng.

Most people, however, felt that after so many years, their friendship had long faded.

After all, what kind of friendship could there be between a small Qi Refining Cultivator and a Core Formation True Person?

But now, seeing Immortal Master Changsheng personally come to attend Old Ancestor Hong’s funeral, and even arriving with Immortal Master Xiyue, everyone was stunned.

“Hiss, Immortal Master Changsheng is truly loyal and righteous, even after achieving the Core Formation Old Ancestor realm, he hasn’t forgotten his old friends!”

“As expected of a Core Formation True Person, such virtue makes one look up to him with admiration.”

“If one could get acquainted with Old Ancestor Lu, it would truly be a blessing for three lifetimes!”

The Cultivators present immediately sighed with emotion, praising Old Ancestor Lu for remembering his roots, possessing noble character, and being of high moral integrity.

“Hong Xiong has passed away, I came to pay my respects.”

Lu Changsheng said softly.

“Thank you, Father-in-law…”

Even though Lu Changsheng was usually gentle, Hong Xuanji was still extremely respectful of his father-in-law.

Especially after going to Great Dream Immortal City with Lu Quanzhen, he witnessed a truly cruel corner of the Cultivation World.

Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors, who were usually high and mighty, presiding over one area, were casually killed by his Elder brother-in-law.

And this father-in-law of his, who was able to rise from obscurity to become a Core Formation True Person, Vice City Lord of the Immortal City, and Guest Elder of the Immortal Sect, how could he be as simple as he appeared!

Immediately, under the respectful gazes of everyone, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue lit three sticks of incense, bowed slightly towards the mourning hall, but did not bend at the waist.

There had always been a saying about Luck in the Cultivation World.

Now that he and Xiao Xiyue were Core Formation True Persons, if they bowed to a small Qi Refining Family like the Hong Family, it might diminish their fortune.

Moreover, the Hong Family could not bear such a grand Core Formation礼.

“Did Hong Xiong have any last wishes or unfinished business?”

After paying his respects, Lu Changsheng asked.

“Replying to Father-in-law, Father had no regrets in his life, he just didn’t get to thank you and Quanzhen Ge…”

Hong Xuanji said respectfully.

With Lu Quanzhen’s help, he barely broke through to Foundation Establishment.

Afterward, Lu Quanzhen was called away by Lu Changsheng and didn’t have time to send him back, so he entrusted Ling Zixiao to find him a caravan to return with.

However, having witnessed the cruelty of the Cultivation World, and being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in his twilight years, he dared not make a big fuss, only telling his wife and father.

He clearly remembered his father’s excited, trembling appearance at the time.

Then, trembling, his father took him to pay respects to their ancestors, held his wrist, and earnestly admonished him never to have second thoughts or establish his own Family.

He told him that only when the Hong Family produced a second Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the future should he consider establishing his own Family, and that for now, he should stay in the Lu Family and repay this kindness.

“This is a small matter, not worth mentioning. If you are interested, after the Wilderness War ends, you can acquire a spiritual land.”

Lu Changsheng knew that Hong Yi’s lifelong wish was to own a spiritual land and establish a Cultivation Family.

However, with his own rise, the latter directly abandoned the idea of a spiritual land and placed the Family’s Foundation in Hongye Valley Market, benefiting future generations.

“Thank you, Father-in-law, but your son-in-law has no such intention. Father also said that this matter should only be considered when there is a promising talent in the Family.”

Hong Xuanji said hurriedly.

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said no more.

In his youth, Hong Xuanji was a person with ambition and sharpness.

After so many years, the latter’s edges had been worn smooth.

Even after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he still hadn’t regained his ambition.

However, this also counts as the difference between self-Foundation Establishment and Breakthrough relying on others.

After paying his respects, Lu Changsheng went to Lu Mansion.

But looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar people and things, he only stayed for a short while before leaving Ruyi County.

After parting with Xiao Xiyue, he came to White Tiger Mountain.

White Tiger Mountain had changed quite a bit from earlier years, having completely become a Puppet and Artifact Refining workshop of the Lu Family. Many precisely crafted patrol Puppets could be seen.

Now, the person in charge of the Puppet workshop had also passed from his son, Lu Xianzhi, to his grandson, Lu Xuanyu.

“Father, Grandfather, greetings, Immortal Master!”

The Cultivators and Lu Family disciples here, upon seeing Lu Changsheng, all bowed respectfully.

“Mm.”

Having just experienced Hong Yi’s passing, seeing the aged Lu Xianzhi, Lu Changsheng felt a bit sentimental.

The latter was his first son with a Spiritual Root.

Although it was only a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root.

But at his birth, he was also excited and delighted.

It was a pity that perfection was hard to come by in this world, and what he could do for this son was ultimately limited.

Although he bestowed the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, the latter frankly refused, believing he had no regrets in this life and was unwilling to Cultivate this Cultivation Technique for the sake of so-called longevity.

After simply inquiring about the situation here, Lu Changsheng came to the back mountain and looked at his first Spirit Beast—the Nine Nether Mastiff.

The Yao Beast cub, which he could once hold in his arms, was now a full丈 and a half tall and three丈 long.

Its entire body was covered in thick, dark fur, shiny and lustrous, glowing with a deep, clear sheen under the sunlight.

In the center of its ferocious wolf-like head, a scarlet vertical pupil seemed to be embedded, captivating and chilling, and its interlocking fangs were like pale white blades, sending shivers down one’s spine.

“Awooo—Awooo—”

Seeing its master, Lu Changsheng, the Nine Nether Mastiff immediately obediently lowered its head, its tail wagging gently, showing its happiness.

“Take this Yao Core and digest it slowly yourself. Don’t eat too quickly. When you’re ready to Breakthrough, notify Xianzhi.”

Lu Changsheng took out a dark purple third-tier Yao Core from his Storage Pouch and gave it to the Nine Nether Mastiff.

This trip to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, although he didn’t hunt down a Youyue Wolf King with similar attributes.

But he didn’t go in vain, finding another Wolf King as a substitute.

“Awooo! Awooo!”

The Nine Nether Mastiff looked at the dark purple oval sphere in front of it, immediately letting out a low growl, expressing joy and desire.

The simplest way for a Yao Beast to grow quickly is to devour Yao Cores, Yao Cores, and Heaven And Earth Treasure with similar attributes.

This Yao Core, though not as good as the previous Youyue Wolf King Yao Core.

But it also came from a third-tier Wolf King with Earth Rank Bloodline, and its quality and purity were extremely refined!

“Work hard.”

Lu Changsheng patted the Nine Nether Mastiff and said.

As a second-tier Yao Beast, consuming two third-tier Yao Cores was extremely luxurious.

If people knew that Lu Changsheng was cultivating his Spirit Beast this way, they would probably scold him for wasting Heaven And Earth Treasure.

After all, one third-tier Yao Core was enough to exchange for many Heaven And Earth Treasure for cultivating Spirit Beasts, or even quasi-third-tier Yao Beasts.

After leaving White Tiger Mountain, Lu Changsheng returned to Bihu Mountain and told Lu Miaoyun about the Nine Nether Mastiff.

He instructed her to notify him once she received a message from White Tiger Mountain, so he could bring the Nine Nether Mastiff back to Xumi Grotto-heaven for its Breakthrough.

Although Yao Beast Breakthroughs do not require as high a demand for Spiritual Vein Dao fields and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi as Cultivators.

A quasi-third-tier Spiritual Vein is enough for a Yao Beast to Breakthrough to third-tier.

But since there was a good environment at home, why not use it?

Moreover, when a Yao Beast breaks through, and its Yao Core advances to a Yao Core, this Breakthrough process is somewhat similar to a Cultivator’s Core Formation, and it can be affected by external factors.

So Lu Changsheng also planned to set up a ‘Yao Fiend Formation’ for the Nine Nether Mastiff and invest some Heaven And Earth Treasure with similar attributes to help it advance smoothly and become an Immortal Golden Core among Yao Kings!

This way, when Immortal Master Changsheng travels outside in the future, even if he is not skilled in combat, his Spirit Beast can act on his behalf.

“Xiao Hei is about to advance to the third-tier?”

The Nine Nether Mastiff spent most of its time on White Tiger Mountain, so Lu Miaoyun wasn’t very clear about its growth rate.

She still remembered that when she married Lu Changsheng in earlier years, the Nine Nether Mastiff was still like a small puppy, treated as a playmate by Lu Ping’an and others.

She never expected that this little puppy would unknowingly become a Yao King.

“It should be a few more years.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

After spending a few more days with his wife, Lu Changsheng took Meng Xiaochun back to Great Dream Immortal City.

Ten days later.

Great Dream Immortal City, City Lord’s Mansion.

“Brother! Sister Xiaochun!”

“Daddy, are you done with work?”

Ling Zixiao was busy, and Lu Miaoge and Honglian were in seclusion Cultivating, so the vast City Lord’s Mansion only had Bai Ling and their daughter Lu Baixi.

“Ling’er, Xiao Xi.”

Lu Changsheng hugged Bai Ling, then looked at his daughter, who hadn’t grown taller in over a year, and rubbed her head.

“Where are Wangshu and Xiao He?”

Seeing that his other two daughters were not present, Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised.

“Wangshu took Xiao He out to play.”

Bai Ling talked about the situation in the past two years since Lu Changsheng left.

Hearing that Lu Wangshu had taken his daughter Lu Linghe out, he didn’t pay too much attention, just felt sorry for his daughter Lu Baixi being alone at home.

Fortunately, this daughter was quiet and loved learning, so even if she spent every day at home reading and studying Cultivation Technique, she didn’t feel bored.

After two years, this daughter had progressed very quickly; it seemed she had reached the Breakthrough critical point and could Breakthrough at any time.

“What kind of Breakthrough is Xiao Xi’s? A Yao Cultivator?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter, who was already fifteen but still only eight or nine years old, and mused.

The latter was neither Qi Refining nor Body Refining, yet her spiritual power and physique advanced side by side.

“Daddy, are you done with work?”

Lu Baixi looked at Lu Changsheng with anticipation, her platinum-sacred pupils revealing a thirst for knowledge.

“Daddy is done with work. Come, Xiao Xi, what don’t you understand about your Cultivation during this time?”

Although teaching his children to Cultivate was a headache, Lu Changsheng had been away for so long this time, so he made up for it by spending quality time with his daughter.

At this moment, he also released his daughter, Lu Mengchan, from the Spirit Eye Spring of the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus, lifting the seal.

Lu Mengchan, who had slept for a year, was full of Spiritual Qi, exquisitely carved like jade, and her entire body’s Meridians glowed with a crystalline luster.

“Hmm, Daddy, Mommy, Auntie Lingling, Sister Xixi.”

She groggily opened her eyes, still a bit dazed from sleep.

After a moment, she recovered and said, “Daddy, are we home?”

“Yes, we’re home.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“Mom, where’s my ball?”

She immediately looked at her mother, Meng Xiaochun, wanting to share her pet, the Flying Sky Bear, with her sister Lu Linghe.

But hearing that Lu Linghe wasn’t home, she immediately felt a bit disappointed.

As for Lu Baixi, Lu Mengchan wasn’t very close to her.

Or rather, Lu Baixi found this younger sister too noisy, too rambunctious, and too annoying.

“Daddy will take you to find your sister in a few days.”

Lu Changsheng said helplessly, seeing his daughter’s aggrieved look.

Then Meng Xiaochun coaxed their daughter while he taught Lu Baixi to Cultivate.

Night fell.

Hearing that Lu Changsheng had returned, Lu Miaoge, Honglian, and Lu Quanzhen all came out of seclusion.

“Husband!”

“Lang Jun!”

“Greetings, Father!”

The few of them gathered at a table, enjoying the delicious food, while Ling Zixiao recounted the events of these past days to Lu Changsheng.

And Lu Changsheng also told his wives and daughters about some of his gains from this trip.

“This child will take his leave first.”

Lu Quanzhen finished eating and went to Cultivate.

Besides refining his Foundation, he usually spent his time comprehending Cultivation Technique and Spells.

In the past two years, the issues with his Foundation had almost been resolved. The only remaining problem was the balance of his Cultivation Technique.

So, during this time, he was also Cultivating Core Formation secret techniques, trying his best to increase his chances of Core Formation.

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng knew that his son felt out of place here. He planned to try his earlier conjecture later to see if he could solve his Cultivation Technique Fusion problem.

“Lang Jun obtained the jade marrow gold ganoderma!?”

Ling Zixiao was very surprised to hear that Lu Changsheng had obtained the main ingredient for the Ningjing Pill.

This Spirit Medicine was extremely rare.

Even though she had managed the Immortal City for so many years, she had only obtained some related clues, and no one was selling it.

“Mm, counting the Materials collected in earlier years, it’s enough to refine a batch of Ningjing Pills. By then, you and Miaoge will not be lacking Ningjing Pills.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

Although Ling Zixiao was only at Foundation Establishment seventh-tier.

But as long as the paired Magic Treasure was forged, at most within ten years, she could prepare for Core Formation.

“Miaoge, don’t rush with your Core Formation. First Cultivate the Yin-Yang Yuan Dan Method with the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus. Then, when you attempt to Breakthrough, you might even achieve a High Grade Golden Core in one go.”

Although Lu Miaoge’s cultivation had reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

Compared to Xiao Xiyue and Meng Xiaochun, who were true disciples of the Immortal Sect, she was still quite a bit behind.

Her only advantage was the Taiyi Life-Generating Water Art.

Relying on Lu Changsheng’s Taiyi Dao Seed, her talent, Foundation, and Cultivation Technique were all elevated by one Rank.

However, relying solely on these, it would be very difficult to Breakthrough to a High Grade Golden Core.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng hoped that the latter would rely on her own efforts and accumulate more profound reserves before attempting Core Formation.

This would also benefit Lu Miaoge’s future.

“Ling’er, you also need to Cultivate more when you have time, otherwise, Xiao Xi will catch up to you later.”

Lu Changsheng then looked at Bai Ling and said.

The latter’s cultivation speed in earlier years was comparable to a first-Rank Spiritual Root.

After her Bloodline Awakening, her cultivation speed was even more outstanding, not inferior to an Earthly Spiritual Root.

It was only because of her pregnancy and taking care of her daughter that she was delayed, resulting in her being only at the Peak of Foundation Establishment eighth-tier.

“Brother, Ling’er will Cultivate diligently.”

Bai Ling nodded in response, feeling a bit ashamed in her heart that she hadn’t been able to do anything for Lu Changsheng, yet she had been constantly wasting cultivation resources.

If she were to Breakthrough to Core Formation, she would waste even more precious resources.

After eating and drinking to their fill, Lu Changsheng began to comfort his wives at home.

To avoid too much jealousy and discord in the back courtyard, Lu Changsheng would also use this process to help increase the affection and friendship between his wives and concubines.

For example, Lu Miaoge and Ling Zixiao.

The two women were the people Lu Changsheng trusted most; one managed external affairs, the other internal, so naturally, they needed more communication.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng also called both of them to instruct them in Cultivation.

On the jade bed, Lu Changsheng explained the Yin and Yang profound principles of Taiyi Life-Generating Water Art to Lu Miaoge.

Even though Lu Miaoge had heard Lu Changsheng explain it countless times, each time she had a different experience.

Whenever she heard profound and mysterious parts, she would hum in response, causing the meaning of Yin and Yang to blend harmoniously at that moment.

“Heaven and Earth are rigid and soft, complementing and encompassing each other. Yang holds, Yin receives, male and female need each other. They need creation, and essence Qi then flows. Kan and Li are at the head, first reflecting and spreading.”

Lu Changsheng lectured earnestly, and Lu Miaoge listened intently.

And teaching and expounding the Dao, many times, also emphasized leading by example.

Therefore, the verbal teachings from their mouths constantly transformed into physical and mental instruction.

Although Ling Zixiao did not Cultivate Yin and Yang Cultivation Technique, such a Cultivation Technique was broad and profound, and she also listened attentively from the side.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Changsheng imparted all his Yin and Yang profound principles to Lu Miaoge and explained Samatha-gupta to Ling Zixiao.

Lu Miaoge also took this Opportunity to listen and comprehend the mysterious secret method of Samatha-gupta.

A few days later, Lu Changsheng accompanied Bai Ling.

Although Bing’er mostly slept in the crystal ice coffin, she would come out every few days.

Usually, at this time, Lu Changsheng would also call her.

Moreover, among his many wives and concubines, Bing’er and Bai Ling got along best.

Because her daughter was too fond of learning, but she herself couldn’t teach, Bai Ling now constantly enriched herself and sought guidance from Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng taught Bai Ling the Dao of music.

The Dao of rhythm is broad and profound, capable of leading people to experience the vastness of Heaven and Earth and the beauty of nature.

It was a pity that Bai Ling’s musical talent was too poor; the melodies she uttered from her tender and alluring lips were like a child’s babbling.

Even so, it was a return to simplicity and possessed a unique and captivating charm.

“Brother, Bing’er wants to learn too.”

Bing’er was influenced by the atmosphere between the two and clamored to learn.

Lu Changsheng took out several books and let Bing’er choose which one to study.

Bing’er did not hesitate, her slender, jade-like finger pointing to “Elementary Learning.”

Although this was a children’s primer, Bing’er was naive, so it was normal for her to study such a book.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng taught Bing’er the Dao.

Bing’er’s voice was pleasant, and she read aloud, swaying her head, as if she were a small boat immersed in a vast ocean of knowledge, reading the book to its fullest.

The wind roared, pushing open the window, pouring into the room, and rustling the pages of the book.

Within books are golden houses, within books are beauties like jade.

As the pages fluttered, they seemed to reflect a peerless beauty, with lips like cherries, a face like peach blossoms, scattered dark hair, a gently swaying willow waist, graceful and charming.

For a moment, outside the house, there was also the sound of rain pattering on banana leaves, a pitter-patter.

A few days later, Lu Changsheng and Honglian sat and discussed the Dao.

In the classical and elegant boudoir Immortal Cave, luminous pearls emitted soft light.

On the eight-treasure lotus white jade bed, Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven cloud gauze curtains hung.

Through the mist, one could see a peerless jade sculpture with immortal skin and jade bones, glistening with a crystalline jade color, rising and falling within the curtains.

The undulating graceful curves, reflected by the gauze curtain, were like a sacred, elegant, yet enchanting and peerless divine statue, making one feel awe and self-abasement at first glance.

After a long while, the cloud gauze fluttered, and a fragrant, taut, snow-white jade foot with a high arch emerged.

The curve of the instep was extremely soft and graceful, and the ten slender toes were like white jade pearls, tightly curled and glowing with a faint pink luster.

Three days and three nights later.

Lu Changsheng and Honglian cast cleansing spells, bathed, and changed clothes, then chatted in a relaxed mood.

At this time, Lu Changsheng also showed Honglian the vine root he had obtained from Shi Po, asking what it was.

“This looks a bit like… the root of a Xuanmu Vine.”

After observing for a long time, Honglian’s red lips parted, and she said softly.

“Xuanmu Vine?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, this is a very rare heaven and earth spiritual plant, with extremely high growth potential, suitable as a wood-element Spirit Treasure embryo.”

“Didn’t Lang Jun ask me about ‘Profound Heaven Treasure’ in his early years? It is rumored that this Xuanmu Vine is a symbiotic vine of a certain Profound Heaven spiritual plant.”

Honglian said so.

“???”

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

When he saw this section of vine, he felt it was somewhat similar to his Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine.

He wondered if it might be a weakened version of the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine.

He hadn’t expected it to be true.

Profound Heaven Immortal Vine coexists with Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine, and Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine then coexists with Xuanmu Vine?

“Good heavens, it’s like nesting dolls.”

Lu Changsheng was a little speechless.

“It’s a pity that this vine’s vitality is almost extinguished, and there’s only one root section, making it difficult to refine into a High Grade Magic Treasure.”

Honglian said with some regret.

Although Xuanmu Vine was precious, it also depended on the situation.

What was before them was just a small section of Xuanmu Vine, and it was almost withered.

“However, Lang Jun has the ’ten thousand spirit bottle,’ so you can try to revive it.”

Honglian continued, saying with some anticipation, “If it can be revived, it can serve as a Heaven and Earth spiritual Material for a Spirit Treasure embryo.”

“And there’s a rumor that if Xuanmu Vine is cultivated to a certain level, it will bloom and bear fruit, possessing incredible Divine Ability!”

Regarding the Xuanmu Vine, she only knew about it from hearsay.

She was very curious about the rumor of cultivating the Xuanmu Vine to a certain level, causing it to bloom and bear fruit.

Under normal circumstances, even a Rank Four spiritual plant master would find it difficult to Cultivate the Xuanmu Vine to this extent.

But she had seen the Lu Family’s ’ten thousand spirit bottle.’

This bottle possessed the power of creation, truly extraordinary.

“Blooming and bearing fruit?”

Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected this thing, like the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine, to also be able to bloom and bear fruit.

“The Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine needs ten thousand years to bloom and bear fruit. What about this Xuanmu Vine? A thousand years?”

“If it’s a thousand years, then with the ten thousand spirit bottle, watering it for ten or twenty years should be enough?”

For a moment, Lu Changsheng felt some anticipation for the Xuanmu Vine before him.

“But in that case, the Divine Ability Fruit Tree can only be put aside for now.”

Although the ten thousand spirit bottle’s effect was astonishing, it only produced one drop of Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew per year.

Currently, the Lu Family needed Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew to Cultivate heavenly spirit fruit, Nourishing Spirit Lotus, heavenly essence treasure lotus, five elements spiritual fruit tree, Divine Ability Fruit Tree, the heaven and earth spiritual plants of his wives and children, and so on.

Now, with the addition of a Xuanmu Vine, it was simply not enough.

“Let’s see if it can be revived then.”

Lu Changsheng put away the Xuanmu Vine before him, planning to send it back to Bihu Mountain later to see if it could be revived.

Originally, Lu Changsheng was preparing to open the furnace to refine Ningjing Pill.

But his daughter Lu Mengchan kept missing her sister, so he had no choice but to take her to find Lu Linghe.

One day later, Lu Changsheng found the two sisters on Chili Island.

These days, the two sisters would come to Dragon Fish Island, Chili Island, and Bili Island to rest and sort out their gains after spending some time at sea.

Although Lu Wangshu found it boring and felt there were no Opportunities, Lu Linghe was incredibly happy and full of drive.

She could finally earn money.

“Daddy! Mengmeng!”

Lu Linghe was very happy to see Lu Changsheng and shared her gains from the past year with him.

“Not bad, my little He has grown up.”

Lu Changsheng rubbed his daughter’s ponytail and praised her.

“Hmph.”

Lu Wangshu’s pink lips pouted slightly, giving her old father a sour look.

The Puppet she had been promised, and the borrowed Spirit Beast, had vanished without a trace.

“Hehe, Wangshu, what’s wrong?”

How could Lu Changsheng not know this daughter, who was deliberately throwing a small tantrum for him to see.

He could tolerate this little temper of his daughter’s.

“Daddy, Rolling and Little Ice said there’s a treasure on Dragon Fish Island, but when sister looked for you, you weren’t home.”

Seeing that her sister wasn’t speaking, Lu Linghe immediately tilted her head and said in a clear voice.

“What treasure is on Dragon Fish Island?”

Lu Changsheng was surprised.

When this island was previously ravaged by rogue Cultivators, Ling Zixiao had settled Lu Qingsong, Lu Lingxiao, and others here.

Why would a treasure suddenly appear?

“We don’t know either, Rolling found it, but Little Ice said there’s danger.”

As a Heaven Rank rare Yao Beast, the Devour Iron Beast was not only immensely strong and exceptionally combative, but also had extremely keen spiritual senses.

When she and Lu Wangshu had previously gone to Dragon Fish Island to rest, Rolling suddenly sensed something beneath Dragon Fish Island.

The few of them wanted to dig down following this aura, but Rolling felt a bit scared, while the Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle felt that good and bad fortune were intertwined.

“Alright, Daddy will go with you to take a look.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“Daddy.”

At this moment, Lu Mengchan, who was beside him, motioned for Lu Changsheng to show her “Qiūqiú” to her sister.

“Xiao He, Mengmeng has been missing you.”

Lu Changsheng tossed the little sprout to Lu Linghe, then released her Flying Bear from his Spirit Beast bag.

“Sister, this is Qiūqiú.”

Lu Mengchan had always longed to share her pet with her sister, and now she could finally do so happily.

Seeing this, Lu Linghe released her Devour Iron Beast from her Spirit Beast bag.

“Woof woof woof!”

The Flying Bear, seeing the Devour Iron Beast, was instantly scared and trembled, wanting to escape.

Lu Mengchan, seeing this, immediately looked a little wronged.

She still wanted her Flying Bear and the Devour Iron Beast to be friends.

“Rolling.”

Lu Linghe quickly motioned for the Devour Iron Beast not to scare it, but the Flying Bear was still afraid.

The two types of Yao Beasts were similar in species, and their Bloodline Rank and Rank differed by one level. It could be said that the Devour Iron Beast could scare the Flying Bear simply by its scent.

“It’s alright, it’s alright, it’ll be fine when your Qiūqiú grows up a bit.”

Lu Changsheng comforted his daughter.

He thought to himself, this really was the right pet, as timid as this daughter.

However, there was not much he could do about the Bloodline suppression between Yao Beasts.

After coaxing his daughter, Lu Changsheng and the others arrived at Dragon Fish Island.

“Father!”

“Daddy!”

Currently, Dragon Fish Island was managed by Lu Qingsong.

Lu Qingyan primarily served as combat power, raising Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers.

However, cultivating Dao Soldiers was a lengthy process.

Eight years had passed, and although a pile of Dao Soldiers had been refined, most were still Rank One Low Grade, with only a small portion being Rank One Medium Grade.

“Qingsong, Qingyan.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his children with a smile, concerned about their well-being.

Hearing that Lu Changsheng had come to dig for treasure, Lu Qingsong immediately led him to the location.

“Originally, this island belonged to a Zhong Family, whose Old Ancestor was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Late Stage, and was quite famous, owning a Rank Two Black Horned Dragon Fish.”

“However, as the Zhong Family declined, this island was acquired by the Huang Family, and then the Huang Family’s Old Ancestor encountered danger while traveling, suffering from the rogue Cultivator unrest…”

“This area was previously the Zhong Family’s ancestral hall. After the Huang Family acquired it, they converted it into a residential compound.”

Lu Qingsong introduced to Lu Changsheng.

“Is this the place?”

Upon arriving at the location, Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, realizing something was amiss.

He immediately extended his Divine Sense downwards.

One hundred zhang!

Two hundred zhang!

Three hundred zhang!

Four hundred zhang!

Five hundred zhang!

Six hundred zhang!

Although a Core Formation cultivator’s Divine Sense could reach a thousand zhang.

With obstacles, it was difficult to penetrate a thousand zhang.

However, Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense had already surpassed the Peak of Core Formation, breaking through ten thousand zhang.

Such a search was effortless for him!

In a few breaths, Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense reached eight hundred zhang, seeing Formation and traces of artificial excavation.

His Divine Sense could even penetrate the Formation directly, seeing the situation inside.

A black-red crystal and two Jade Slips.

This crystal was extraordinary, with wisps of scorching and domineering aura permeating it, even slowly seeping out through the Formation.

The aura he felt was emanating from this crystal.

Lu Changsheng tried to touch this crystal with his Divine Sense.

“Roar roar roar—”

He seemed to see a black Dragon with its head held high, formidable double horns, covered in black-gold Dragon scales, and baring its fangs and claws.

Even as a mere illusion, a mental projection, it exuded a faint sense of danger.

“Wuwuwu—”

Lu Wangshu’s Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle instantly sensed a dangerous aura, whimpering softly, very scared.

“A bit interesting. This crystal actually possesses Dragon might, and this Dragon might, judging by its appearance, has already reached the Peak of Rank Three!”

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly.

Then he looked at Lu Qingsong, Lu Wangshu, and the others and said, “There is indeed something down here, and it’s not simple.”

“However, taking it out might cause some commotion, Qingsong, give me the Formation Plate of Dragon Fish Island.”

“Yes, Father.”

Lu Qingsong quickly handed the island’s Formation Plate from his Storage Pouch to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng took the Formation Plate, his pupils gleaming with golden light as he looked at the Dragon Fish Island Grand Formation.

After a few breaths, Lu Changsheng understood the Dragon Fish Island Grand Formation before him. He injected his spiritual power into the Formation Plate, activating a part of the Formation, then lightly stroked his Universe Shadow Belt.

Only to see streaks of Formation Flag appear, flying down around the large residence, connecting with the Dragon Fish Island’s Formation, concealing the aura of this area.

“Daddy, you also know Formation! ?”

Lu Wangshu was very surprised to see her old father setting up a Formation.

She knew her father understood Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talismans, and also Puppets and music.

But she never knew her father also knew Formation.

Not only her, but Lu Qingsong and Lu Qingyan were also surprised.

“What’s so difficult about this? Just spend a little time looking at it and you’ll know.”

Lu Changsheng, in a loose green robe, said calmly.

He was a dignified Core Formation True Person, exceptionally talented, so what if he knew a bit of Formation?
