Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family

Chapter 608: True Lord Qingluan: This person must be possessed by a Yuanying old monster

True Monarch Qingluan was a little surprised to see Lu Changsheng agree so readily.

Although she would have to pay a considerable price to get the Sky Sword Sect to agree to sell Tier 4 demon cores normally.

A chance for her to act was also quite valuable.

The other party didn’t bargain at all.

She guessed in her heart that the other party was expressing goodwill towards her and establishing a friendly relationship.

If this cooperation was pleasant, it would also facilitate future cooperation.

“Good.”

True Monarch Qingluan said with a smile, her eyebrows heroic and valiant. She clinked glasses with Lu Changsheng and drank it all down.

After carefully tasting the wine, she continued to ask, “What do you think about the matter of taking action, fellow Daoist?”

“I won’t participate in this matter, after all, I am just a family cultivator who has just broken through the Core Formation stage and doesn’t want to get too involved in the affairs of Jiang Country.”

Lu Changsheng said frankly.

Having his identity exposed by True Monarch Qingluan was already a considerable risk and trouble.

If he was greedy for small advantages and his identity was known to the Sky Sword Sect, it would be a big problem.

After all, he had no conflict of interest with this True Monarch Qingluan, and they even had a bit of friendship.

But if the Sky Sword Sect, the overlord of Jiang Country, knew about his situation, would they sit idly by and watch him continue to grow?

One could get a glimpse of this from the attitude of the four major immortal sects towards the families under their rule.

Not to mention the distant past, this True Monarch Qingluan in front of him directly abandoned the immortal city when she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

“Is fellow Daoist worried that your identity will be known to the Sky Sword Sect and the Yin冥 Ghost Sect?”

As someone who had been through it, True Monarch Qingluan deeply understood Lu Changsheng’s worries and concerns.

Before becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, although she was hailed as the number one rogue cultivator in Jiang Country, she lived on thin ice.

Not only the Sky Sword Sect, but also many jackals, wolves, and tigers were lurking in the dark, waiting for her to become weak to take a bite.

Even now that she had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, she did not dare to slack off in the slightest and was full of worries about the future, so she returned to Jiang Country to accumulate strength and foundation.

“That’s one aspect.”

Lu Changsheng said with a faint smile.

Besides not wanting to come into contact with the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Sky Sword Sect, another reason was that the price offered by this True Monarch Qingluan was not enough.

After all, he, Lu, was not like other Core Formation cultivators who would take risks for a little profit.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, True Monarch Qingluan was naturally astute.

Knowing that Lu Changsheng could produce True Phoenix Feathers and could afford to buy Tier 4 demon cores, he was clearly someone who was not short of money.

If she didn’t offer a price that satisfied him, how could he be willing to act?

She immediately said, “If fellow Daoist is worried about your identity, I have an exotic treasure that can conceal your appearance and aura, making it difficult for even Nascent Soul True Monarchs to distinguish between true and false.”

“Moreover, the power of heavenly secrets left by Meng Wuchen and his wife in Great Dream Immortal City has begun to dissipate. As long as fellow Daoist is willing to act, I can lay out a destiny for your immortal city. Unless a Tier 4 Divination Master obtains relevant media, it will be difficult to deduce the situation of fellow Daoist’s immortal city.”

True Monarch Qingluan continued.

This battle was not only an invitation for Lu Changsheng to help, but also their first friendly cooperation.

If the cooperation went smoothly and she saw his true strength, it would also facilitate deeper cooperation in the future.

Otherwise, even if she judged that the Lu Changsheng in front of her was a Nascent Soul old monster who had taken over a body or reincarnated, she would not easily form an alliance.

“An exotic treasure that even Nascent Soul True Monarchs can’t distinguish between true and false? Laying out destiny?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

The biggest reason he didn’t want to come into contact with Nascent Soul True Monarchs at the moment was that he couldn’t hide from their detection.

If he could obtain such an exotic treasure, it would be a considerable gain.

Moreover, what the other party said about laying out destiny for Great Dream Immortal City and disrupting heavenly secrets was also very tempting.

When Meng Wuchen and his wife left back then, they used divination techniques to make it difficult for others to deduce and understand the situation of the immortal city.

Now, ten years later, this power of heavenly secrets was gradually dissipating.

Although he had the Heavenly Origin Treasure Emperor Lotus and the family tree to suppress heavenly secrets.

Some top-tier Divination Masters might be able to observe the situation of the immortal city and its hidden destiny, discerning some clues.

“Alas, it seems it’s still necessary to have a diviner in the family, otherwise it’s too passive.”

Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart, then said with a calm and composed expression, “In that case, I have one more request.”

“Fellow Daoist, please feel free to speak.”

Perhaps having drunk a lot of wine, True Monarch Qingluan was a little tipsy, and she was more unrestrained and natural, without any of the majesty of a True Monarch.

“Besides what fellow Daoist said, all the demon kings killed by True Person Yangming will belong to him.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Before, when he came to the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, he didn’t dare to hunt demon kings casually for fear of causing a big commotion.

Now that it was a pioneering war, he had no scruples and naturally wanted to make a profit from it.

After all, raising such a large family was not easy.

“If fellow Daoist kills a demon king alone, you can take it, it belongs to you.”

True Monarch Qingluan smiled slightly and said with a carefree attitude.

In this pioneering war, the bodies of demon kings were a major gain for Qingluan Immortal City and the four major immortal sects in the early stage.

However, she could understand that Lu Changsheng wanted to get one or two.

“Fellow Daoist is straightforward!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng raised his wine glass and drank with True Monarch Qingluan.

Tier 4 spirit wine was very strong.

If they didn’t use their magic power to refine and disperse the alcohol, not to mention Lu Changsheng, even someone of True Monarch Qingluan’s level would become tipsy.

At this moment, both of them seemed a little tipsy.

“This mask is called the Thousand Illusions Mask. It can conceal your appearance and aura, making it difficult for even Nascent Soul True Monarchs to see through it.”

“Even if they cultivate the Illusion Breaking Eye Technique, they can at most see through the disguise, but cannot discern your true appearance and aura.”

A simple, thumb-sized jade stone appeared in True Monarch Qingluan’s hand, and she tossed it to Lu Changsheng.

The stone was enveloped in a dreamlike, hazy mist, which had the effect of isolating and concealing divine sense and senses, making people subconsciously ignore this jade stone even if they saw it.

“This should be made of Illusory Mist Stone and a Tier 4 Mirage Pearl, right?”

As a top-tier Tier 3 Artifact Refiner, and having the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements Art, Lu Changsheng had some discerning eyes.

He had wanted to forge a top-tier disguise magic treasure for himself before, but he lacked the corresponding materials.

“It seems that Fellow Daoist Changsheng is also a top-tier Artifact Refiner. In the future, I may have to trouble Fellow Daoist with artifact refining.”

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Qingluan said with a smile.

Just by examining the exotic treasure, he could discern the core materials, indicating a deep understanding in the art of artifact refining.

“I know a little.”

Lu Changsheng said modestly.

After completing the initial cooperation, the two continued to drink and chat happily, the atmosphere harmonious.

True Monarch Qingluan seemed a little tipsy, but the conversation focused on the general trend of the cultivation world, probing Lu Changsheng’s views on the current cultivation world, its future trends, and what his plans were.

Lu Changsheng was vague about these matters, stating that he currently only wanted to secure a stable place and break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Then, the two talked about everything under the sun, from humanities and geography to the hundred arts of cultivation, and even shared their insights on Nascent Soul cultivation and their experiences in cultivation.

True Monarch Qingluan discovered that Lu Changsheng’s knowledge was profound, far exceeding that of a Core Formation cultivator, and definitely at the Nascent Soul level. In many aspects, he was even better than her!

He not only had extraordinary insights into alchemy, formations, talismans, artifacts, and cultivation, but he could even speak about the Eastern Sea and the Northern Plains outside the Southern Wilderness.

This made True Monarch Qingluan marvel in her heart.

Regarding matters outside the Southern Wilderness, she had only seen relevant records in ancient books, with only a few scattered mentions.

From this, she became even more certain of her guess that Lu Changsheng was definitely a Nascent Soul old monster who had taken over a body or reincarnated!

“Today, I invited fellow Daoist for a chat, but I ended up drinking a jar of good spirit wine from fellow Daoist. I am truly ashamed. After the pioneering war ends, I will definitely host a banquet to entertain fellow Daoist.”

After a long while, True Monarch Qingluan got up, slightly dispersed the alcohol, and said to Lu Changsheng. Dressed in a luxurious green jade brocade robe, she looked like a carefree noble young master, with peerless grace.

“I feel like we’ve known each other for a long time, and we’ve had a great time chatting. There’s no need to worry about a mere jar of spirit wine.”

Lu Changsheng said generously with a smile on his handsome face, seemingly also a little drunk.

However, after True Monarch Qingluan left and walked out of the valley, Lu Changsheng’s Yin-Yang magic power circulated, his magic robe fluttered, the alcohol on his body dissipated, and he slowly exhaled a breath of alcohol.

‘Chatting and laughing’ with a Nascent Soul True Monarch was not a simple matter.

Although this True Monarch Qingluan was completely without airs and addressed him as a peer, Lu Changsheng would not truly regard her as a friend of the same level and still maintained vigilance and caution.

During the conversation, he realized that the other party considered him a reincarnated Nascent Soul old monster, so he intentionally led the conversation in that direction, showcasing his cultivation experience and insights into the cultivation world.

With numerous top-tier cultivation techniques, ten cultivation arts, and years of interaction with Honglian, his demeanor and insights were also consistent with a Nascent Soul identity.

Otherwise, how could an ordinary cultivator without sufficient knowledge and experience sit and discuss the Dao with a Nascent Soul True Monarch?

Not to mention anything else, in front of the Nascent Soul divine sense and physiognomy techniques, even a slight ripple in one’s state of mind would reveal numerous flaws.

“It seems that in the future, when dealing with Nascent Soul True Monarchs, I can hint more in this direction.”

Lu Changsheng mused in his heart.

This was the inspiration he had gotten from Honglian.

The other party had always been imagining his identity, believing him to be a reincarnated mighty figure.

And looking at Jiang Country, his age and combat strength were completely beyond common sense and could not be explained by extraordinary talent. People would basically associate it with a Nascent Soul taking over a body or reincarnation.

“However, this True Monarch Qingluan’s situation after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is not as detached and aloof as I imagined.”

Lu Changsheng thought of the conversation just now, and True Monarch Qingluan’s worry about the future situation of the cultivation world.

He had previously judged from the Shadow Sect and other clues that the Seven Demonic Sects were likely to make a comeback.

And True Monarch Qingluan’s fear and worry in this regard far exceeded his.

She almost believed that such a great catastrophe would occur in the future!

Furthermore, as the former number one rogue cultivator in Jiang Country, even after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, she was still eyed by many people.

If she ever fell into trouble, there would be Nascent Soul cultivators and forces coveting her opportunities and secrets.

“What does she mean by telling me these things? Deeper cooperation? But I’ve only met her twice.”

Lu Changsheng naturally didn’t think they were kindred spirits and knew that this was information True Monarch Qingluan deliberately revealed to him.

However, if the other party’s character was good, he didn’t mind cooperating well and deeply with her.

After all, he controlled Great Dream Immortal City, and the other party controlled Qingluan Immortal City. If they were like one family, they could also support each other.

“Hiss, it seems really good. Qingluan Immortal City guards the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, and Great Dream Immortal City guards the Great Dream Marsh and the Endless Water Domain. The two not only have no conflict at all, but can also complement each other in resources.”

Lu Changsheng mused in his heart, feeling that he and this True Monarch Qingluan were simply a perfect match.

Moreover, the other party was the number one rogue cultivator in Jiang Country.

In a few years, he would find a time to challenge the Old Ancestor of the Xu family and the Old Ancestor of the Shangguan family and become the number one family cultivator in Jiang Country, which would be even more suitable.

“But has her Qingluan not advanced to Tier 4 yet?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of True Monarch Qingluan’s spirit beast, Qingluan.

Back then, this Qingluan was already a top-tier Tier 3.

And it had been sixteen years since she obtained the True Phoenix Feather from him.

Counting the time, it should be able to attempt to break through to Tier 4.

After all, the True Phoenix Feather was much rarer than ordinary Tier 4 demon cores.

After a brief thought, Lu Changsheng took out a communication talisman from his storage ring.

About fifteen minutes later, the sun and moon token in his hand glowed brightly, reflecting the image of his wife, Lu Miaoyun.

“Husband, is there something wrong?”

After receiving Lu Changsheng’s message, Lu Miaoyun connected to Lu Changsheng through the Sun and Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror.

“Yun’er, help me send a message to Zixiao, and tell Jinpeng to come to the Myriad Beast Mountain Range.”

Lu Changsheng said to his wife.

Before, when he helped Lu Quanzhen merge his cultivation techniques, the Golden Winged Great Peng’s essence blood was weakened, so it was left in Great Dream Immortal City.

Therefore, he did not bring the Golden Winged Great Peng with him this time.

True Person Yangming would be going online later, and the iconic Golden Winged Great Peng would naturally be indispensable.

“Husband, have you encountered something?”

Lu Miaoyun immediately asked with concern.

“Don’t worry, it’s nothing. I just happen to need Jinpeng for something.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, then asked about the recent situation at home.

It must be said that having the Sun and Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror was convenient, as they could have a video call directly.

After the two finished talking, Lu Miaoyun immediately connected to Great Dream Immortal City through the Sun and Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror, instructing Ling Zixiao to send the Golden Winged Great Peng to the Myriad Beast Mountain Range.

At the same time.

True Monarch Qingluan arrived at a landscape building. Her face, with its sharp features, was cold and solemn, majestic and upright, completely devoid of the carefree and natural demeanor she had before.

A moment later, a beautiful azure phoenix, its entire body like green jade, emitting a crystal clear radiance, flew over and handed her a jade slip.

True Monarch Qingluan took the jade slip and examined it carefully.

After a moment, she frowned and said, “This person’s growth doesn’t resemble a Nascent Soul taking over a body. It’s more like a Nascent Soul old monster reincarnating and cultivating again.”

“But if he’s reincarnated and cultivating again, how did he break through the mystery of the womb, possess a spirit beast like the Tier 3 Golden Peng, and grow to this extent in such a short time?”

This jade slip contained information about the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family and True Person Changsheng.

Although she recognized Lu Changsheng’s two identities, she had not paid attention to Lu Changsheng before this.

On the one hand, Lu Changsheng’s reputation was not well-known before, and he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Later, after obtaining the True Phoenix Feather, she was also unwilling to antagonize Lu Changsheng and did not investigate further.

She only learned a little about this person, knowing that he was the True Person Yangming who had caused a stir in the Yin冥 Ghost Sect before, and didn’t pay much attention to him.

“Great Dream Immortal City, besides Wang Lin, there is also a Li Muwan…”

“According to previous intelligence, Li Muwan revealed a Nascent Soul divine sense fluctuation when she fought against True Person Wanhu… Could this be this person’s hidden move, helping him to see through the mystery of reincarnation?”

True Monarch Qingluan speculated in her heart.

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch reincarnating and cultivating again would find it difficult to break through the mystery of reincarnation.

Unless by chance, they stepped onto the path of immortality and broke through to the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stage, they would have a chance to awaken their past life memories.

“But if that’s the case, why is this person marrying wives and taking concubines and having children…”

True Monarch Qingluan looked at the jade slip in her hand, her expression thoughtful, and she was very puzzled.

As a rogue cultivator, she naturally knew the importance of having a force.

If she had her own force, her future cultivation would be much more convenient.

However, in her opinion, establishing a family force was very inefficient.

Moreover, in the cultivation world, the more entanglements one had, the more troublesome it became.

For example, if you have many enemies lurking outside, some cultivation techniques and secret arts can be traced through bloodline descendants, divination, and even curses.

This is why most cultivators do not like to have children and descendants.

Because every child and descendant can become their weakness.

However, this True Person Changsheng, in less than a hundred years, had given birth to over three hundred descendants, with thousands of juniors.

“Could it be that this person cultivates blood path cultivation techniques?”

Everything has its pros and cons.

Children and descendants are not entirely useless.

As far as she knew, there were some demonic cultivation techniques that could be used to cultivate through the bloodline of children, or to improve talent, refine magic treasures, and so on.

However, the latter did not have any blood evil aura, so it was less likely that he was a demonic cultivator.

“Although family forces are inefficient and slow, if they are built from scratch, their cohesion is far greater than other forces.”

“This person is a reincarnated Nascent Soul old monster who can also awaken his past life. He is definitely not simple. Doing this must have some deeper meaning…”

Although True Monarch Qingluan was puzzled, she did not question it.

After all, she had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and had limited understanding of the cultivation world.

If Lu Changsheng and ‘Li Muwan’ were both Nascent Soul cultivators, then they would definitely be old-brand Nascent Souls, which she could not compare to at the moment.

“It seems I need to be more careful when cooperating with such old monsters.”

Although she felt that Lu Changsheng didn’t seem like such a cunning Nascent Soul old monster during their conversation just now, at this level, how could one judge the other party’s depth through simple words?

While she was probing the other party’s true situation, perhaps the other party was also probing hers.

“Whew!”

After putting away the jade slip and slowly exhaling a breath, True Monarch Qingluan stepped out with her long, beautiful legs in exquisite jade boots, and her entire person disappeared, going to negotiate with the Sky Sword Sect about the Tier 4 demon cores.

Such demon cores were of great use to the Sky Sword Sect as well, and it was not easy to get the latter to trade and sell them. It would require some effort and cost.
