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

Chapter 614: The Five Poisons Sect Leader’s plan resulted in the acquisition of the fourth-level demon pill!

Hearing this, Nangong Mili narrowed her long, slender phoenix eyes, lost in thought, and called a maid to look after her son.

“Minghuang, Mother has something to do, I’ll play with you later.”

She pinched her son’s chubby little Face, then gracefully walked out of the main hall, riding a divine rainbow towards the Five Saints Hall.

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

Nangong Mili arrived in front of the Five Saints Hall and bowed in salute.

Even with her identity and status rising in the Five Poison Sect due to her connection with Immortal Master Yang Ming and her daughter Nangong Yaoyao, she still dared not show the slightest disrespect to her Sect Master.

“Come in!”

A majestic, youthful voice immediately came from within the hall.

“Heavenly Spider Envoy greets the Sect Master!”

Nangong Mili walked into the main hall, looked at the Five Poison Sect Leader sitting above, and bowed again, her expression utterly respectful.

“Do you know why this Sect Master called you here?”

The Five Poison Sect Leader had a Face like jade, exquisite and delicate, wearing a silver crown hairpin, and her eyes held a sense of vicissitude and majesty that did not match her young appearance.

“Sect Master, is it about the Wilderness War in Jiang Country?”

Through her Sect Master’s expression and attitude, Nangong Mili guessed that the Five Poison Sect Leader’s trip was probably not smooth.

“This Sect Master, the Sect Leader of Heavenly Corpse, and Heavenly Fiend True Monarch went to Jiang Country, originally confident of victory, but Immortal Master Yang Ming unexpectedly appeared.”

“This person intercepted the Sect Leader of Heavenly Corpse, leading to the failure of the operation and the death of Heavenly Fiend True Monarch.”

The Five Poison Sect Leader said expressionlessly.

According to the plan, if this operation severely damaged Jiang Country, they could get a share from Yue Country.

Afterward, by attacking Jiang Country with Liang Country, they hoped to gather enough resources to advance further.

However, due to Immortal Master Yang Ming, this operation encountered an unexpected turn, and she herself suffered considerable injuries, which would likely take three to five years to recover from.

“What?! How is this possible?!”

Nangong Mili’s delicate body trembled upon hearing this, her beautiful and enchanting Face filled with shock and disbelief.

She knew that Lu Changsheng was very powerful, almost invincible below the Nascent Soul Realm when combined with the Golden Winged Roc.

But for a Core Formation cultivator to contend with a Nascent Soul cultivator, that was simply impossible!

A Core Formation cultivator who could barely escape with their life in front of a Nascent Soul True Lord was considered a top-tier Core Formation cultivator, enough to boast about and gain widespread fame.

As for a Core Formation cultivator contending with a Nascent Soul cultivator, what kind of concept was that? She couldn’t imagine.

Even the Saints and Saintesses of the Seven Demonic Sects would find it difficult to do, right?

“Please forgive me, Sect Master, I was unaware of this matter, and there might be some misunderstanding.”

Nangong Mili immediately knelt down, apologizing and begging for forgiveness.

She knew that this operation concerned the future direction of Jin Country and her Sect Master’s Opportunity for Breakthrough.

After all, once one reached the Nascent Soul Realm, it was extremely difficult to rely solely on arduous Cultivation; one either had to travel and seek Opportunity, or plunder through war.

Now that the operation had failed, it meant the plan was disrupted.

“This Sect Master is not here to blame you, but merely to know why Immortal Master Yang Ming would help Jiang Country?”

The Five Poison Sect Leader’s tone softened slightly as she spoke.

If it weren’t for Immortal Master Yang Ming and Nangong Yaoyao’s connection, even if Nangong Mili was utterly loyal to the Five Poison Sect, she would have directly punished her, or even searched her Divine Soul.

But after witnessing Immortal Master Yang Ming’s methods, she suspected that this person was either a Nascent Soul cultivator who had fallen in Realm, or a Nascent Soul cultivator who had undergone Possession.

Regardless of which, this person at their Peak was not comparable to herself.

In such a situation, who knew if Nangong Mili had any Restrictions or backup plans from him?

Once she acted against Nangong Mili, it would be like disturbing the snake in the grass, bringing a formidable enemy upon herself.

It was better to use Nangong Mili to probe this person’s situation and see if she could obtain Opportunity from him.

Moreover, Immortal Master Yang Ming was only at the Core Formation cultivation level now; if she could control him, she might be able to take the Opportunity to unify the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yinming Ghost Sect.

“Sect Master, regarding this matter, I am also unaware, but he was in Jiang Country from an early age, so he might be connected to the Heaven Sword Sect and Jiang Country’s forces because of that.”

Nangong Mili faced a Nascent Soul True Lord, not daring to lie, and indeed finding it difficult to lie, she respectfully said.

“Oh?”

The Five Poison Sect Leader narrowed her eyes, her pupils swirling with five-colored crystal clear light, and looked directly at Nangong Mili, saying, “Tell this Sect Master in detail about this Immortal Master Yang Ming’s situation, how did you two meet?”

Nangong Mili’s expression became slightly dazed, and all matters concerning Lu Changsheng involuntarily surged into her mind as she began to speak.

Just then, a cool, refreshing stream of Qi flowed into her Sea of Consciousness and Divine Soul out of thin air, making her hazy consciousness clear up a bit, yet not startling her out of this state.

“This is Divine Ability!”

Nangong Mili instantly knew that the Sect Master had used a bewitching Divine Ability on her; although it wasn’t like a soul search, it could still probe her true thoughts.

She didn’t have time to think about why a wisp of cool Qi appeared in her mind, and following her instinct, she recounted everything between herself and Lu Changsheng.

“Reporting to the Sect Master, that year when you challenged Xuanjian Zhenjun, Xiao Chan and I went to Jiang Country to carry out a mission, Cloud Sword Peak set up a trap in Nine Heavens Immortal City, severely injuring us…”

“Although Xiao Chan and I luckily escaped, we were also severely injured and fell unconscious.”

“Xiao Chan grew up in Jiang Country when she was young and knew Immortal Master Yang Ming, so she asked him to save me, but this person was both righteous and evil, saving me through Dual Cultivation, which resulted in me becoming pregnant with Nangong Yaoyao…”

“After I woke up, I took Xiao Chan back and hadn’t seen this person again until the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, when Immortal Master Yang Ming appeared again, rescuing me from the Four Great Immortal Sects of Jiang Country, and then came to Jin Country to visit Nangong Yaoyao; Xiao Chan was also taken away by him…”

“Three years ago, Immortal Master Yang Ming came to Jin Country because Xiao Chan had broken through to Core Formation and lacked the subsequent Cultivation Technique, so he went to the Myriad Poison Sect to request the subsequent Cultivation Technique.”

Nangong Mili generally recounted the events between herself and Lu Changsheng.

Although she was conscious now, many things had clues, and the Five Poison Sect Leader could easily find out with a simple check, so she dared not lie too much.

“Xiao Chan was taken away by this person…”

The Five Poison Sect Leader’s eyes narrowed slightly, capturing several pieces of information from her words.

This Immortal Master Yang Ming first knew Meng Xiaochun, then Nangong Mili, and even actively requested Nangong Mili to bear his child.

One must know that top-tier Cultivators in the Cultivation World, unless their Lifespan was limited, mostly did not have descendants.

The reason was simple.

Children and descendants could easily become weaknesses, burdens, and targets for others.

However, this Immortal Master Yang Ming did the opposite.

Not only that, a few years ago when she summoned Nangong Mili, she also noticed that the latter was pregnant again.

Besides the two children, she remembered that he caused a big commotion in the Yinming Ghost Sect back then also because of his child…

“Why does this Immortal Master Yang Ming keep finding people to bear children, yet he doesn’t care about his sons and daughters? This person doesn’t look like someone with little Lifespan who needs to continue his Bloodline and Cultivate a Legacy.”

The Five Poison Sect Leader pondered, puzzled.

She thought for a moment, then asked Nangong Mili, “I remember your Disciple Meng Xiaochun has a Spiritual Physique?”

She was aware of Nangong Mili’s situation, possessing the Xuanyin Charming Body.

But Meng Xiaochun was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in her early years and didn’t catch her Dharma Eye, so she hadn’t paid attention.

“Reporting to the Sect Master, Xiao Chan possesses the Thousand Silk Myriad Poison Body.”

Nangong Mili replied respectfully.

This information was all recorded, and could be found by checking the archives.

“Xuanyin Charming Body, Thousand Silk Myriad Poison Body…”

“The Xuanyin Charming Body is beneficial for Dual Cultivation, and the Mystic Yin Jade Liquid it condenses helps break through Bottlenecks and improve Foundation, but the Thousand Silk Myriad Poison Body offers no benefit to others.”

“Could it be that this Immortal Master Yang Ming simply uses spiritual Physique women to bear spiritual Physique children for cultivating Divine Abilities and secret arts?”

The Five Poison Sect Leader thought of Nangong Yaoyao’s Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body and mused inwardly.

If parents have profound Cultivation, then their children tend to have relatively good talent.

If parents not only have profound Cultivation but also possess Spiritual Physiques, then the probability of giving birth to children with Spiritual Physiques is also much higher.

And there are many Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities in the Cultivation World that can plunder the Origin of others’ Spiritual Physiques.

Even without plundering, there are some Cultivation Techniques and secret arts that can be cultivated by utilizing Bloodline.

If this Immortal Master Yang Ming was an old monster of the Nascent Soul Realm who had undergone Possession and Reincarnation, falling in Realm, he would at least be at the Nascent Soul middle stage, or even Late Stage, and knowing such methods would barely make sense.

“Did he do anything when he came to visit Nangong Yaoyao? And did he and Meng Xiaochun have any children?”

The Five Poison Sect Leader continued to inquire.

“Immortal Master Yang Ming didn’t do anything to Nangong Yaoyao; he took her to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range once to deepen their father-daughter relationship, and also gifted her a spiritual Gu, and he and Xiao Chan had a daughter.”

Nangong Mili replied respectfully.

“It seems that’s the case then. When this Immortal Master Yang Ming faced Yan Wujiang, his Dharma Power and Divine Abilities seemed to have some restraining effect on Corpse Demons and the Demonic Path, so he probably doesn’t Cultivate Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques and wouldn’t resort to methods like blood sacrificing his children.”

The Five Poison Sect Leader nodded slightly, then asked Nangong Mili for more details, such as Immortal Master Yang Ming’s usual conduct and personality.

A moment later, an image of someone who was both righteous and evil, domineering and unrestrained, and fiercely protective of his own, was outlined in her mind.

“I remember you and Immortal Master Yang Ming also have a child. Take me to see him.”

The Five Poison Sect Leader continued.

“Sect Master, please forgive me!”

Nangong Mili’s delicate body trembled violently upon hearing this, her Face turning pale as she pleaded.

Although she spoke of disliking this son, he was, after all, born after a year and a half of pregnancy, and she had deep affection for him.

“Don’t worry, this Sect Master will only take a look.”

The Five Poison Sect Leader didn’t mind Nangong Mili regaining consciousness.

This kind of bewitching Divine Ability could only simply interfere with consciousness.

Once it touched the deep part of the affected person’s consciousness, they might be startled awake from it.

However, from this point, it could be seen that Nangong Mili had already developed feelings for Immortal Master Yang Ming, and the Five Poison Sect Leader even suspected that the latter had used some method on Nangong Mili.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for a woman like Nangong Mili to fall in love with a man and bear children for him.

“Yes, Sect Master.”

Although worried, facing the Sect Master, she was completely powerless to resist now.

She also knew that the Sect Master’s strength meant there was no need to deceive her.

A moment later, the two arrived in the main hall of Sky Spider Peak.

“This child also possesses a Spiritual Physique?!”

The Five Poison Sect Leader saw Nangong Minghuang, and her gaze immediately met his amber-like golden eyes, her heart filled with surprise.

Nangong Mili’s daughter, Nangong Yaoyao, possessed a top-tier Spiritual Physique, the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body.

Now, the son she bore was also so extraordinary.

“What kind of Spiritual Physique does this child possess?”

The Five Poison Sect Leader inquired of Nangong Mili.

“Sect Master, I do not know either.”

Nangong Mili shook her head.

She believed her son had a Spiritual Physique, but based on two years of observation, she hadn’t noticed any specific Spiritual Physique characteristics.

Hearing this, the Five Poison Sect Leader stepped forward to examine Nangong Minghuang’s condition.

“Zhi zhi zhi—”

The white jade cicada on Nangong Minghuang’s shoulder immediately let out a clear, crisp sound.

From this cicada’s chirping, the Five Poison Sect Leader felt an effect that deterred insects, beasts, ghosts, and warded off evil, suppressing demons.

It bore a slight resemblance to the Dharma Power and Divine Ability Immortal Master Yang Ming used when he faced the Sect Leader of Heavenly Corpse.

“What is this?”

The Five Poison Sect Leader’s eyes glowed with crystalline luster as she examined the white jade cicada.

“When I was pregnant with Minghuang, I linked the Crystal Cicada Gu to his life, to enhance his talent and serve as his future Natal Gu, but for some reason, an anomaly occurred.”

Nangong Mili immediately explained from the side.

“This child is not simple… Although he doesn’t seem to have a special Physique, he does seem to have a Bloodline talent…”

To Cultivate, one must possess a Spiritual Root.

Besides Spiritual Roots and special Spiritual Physiques, there are many other situations in the Cultivation World. For example, mutated organs and Bloodline talents.

The effects of some great Divine Ability users’ Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities gradually merge into their Bloodline, like Yao Beasts, passed down to their children and Family descendants.

If these people Cultivate their ancestral Legacy, they achieve results with half the effort.

“This child should have inherited the characteristics of Immortal Master Yang Ming’s Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities, but unless he cultivated certain Bloodline secret arts, normally, a Core Formation True Person’s Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities cannot be inherited through Bloodline; at least, only Nascent Soul cultivators have a slight chance.”

“This implies that Immortal Master Yang Ming is highly likely a Nascent Soul True Lord who has fallen to Core Formation, and only in this way could he unleash Nascent Soul-level combat power in the Core Formation Realm and directly confront Yan Wujiang!”

“Moreover, his first child with Nangong Mili was a top-tier Spiritual Physique, and his second child also possesses Bloodline talent, which further indicates that this person was extraordinary during his Peak, very likely an old monster at the Nascent Soul Late Stage!”

“Did he really only have children to Cultivate Divine Ability Secret Arts? Was it a setup? Or was he unable to return to his Peak, wanting to leave behind his Bloodline Legacy, waiting for a true successor?”

The Five Poison Sect Leader pondered, feeling that this Immortal Master Yang Ming was becoming more and more mysterious!

Nangong Mili, who was beside her, saw her Sect Leader continuously looking at her son and felt a little apprehensive.

After a moment of contemplation, the Five Poison Sect Leader’s fair hand lightly tapped, taking a drop of Nangong Minghuang’s heart blood, and said to Nangong Mili: “Heavenly Spider Envoy, if Immortal Master Yang Ming comes, notify me. Tell him that I have no ill intentions towards him and wish to meet him.”

After speaking, she ignored the crying Nangong Minghuang and disappeared.

“Yes, Sect Leader!”

Nangong Mili’s beautiful and enchanting Face was a little pale. She bowed towards the outside of the hall, then hugged her son and softly said, “Don’t cry, don’t cry.”

Her son’s life was basically in the hands of the Five Poison Sect Leader after she took a drop of his heart blood.

Not only her son Nangong Minghuang.

As the Heavenly Spider Envoy of the Five Poison Sect, if she dared to betray them, the Five Poison Sect Leader could also make her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering through her Soul Lantern.

Even if she had a Core Formation sixth-layer Cultivation and could struggle a bit, it would still damage her Divine Soul Origin and cripple half of her Dao.

“Lu Changsheng.”

Before this, she had hoped that her son, Nangong Minghuang, would grow up in the Five Poison Sect and be raised by her.

But now, she desperately hoped that Lu Changsheng would take her son away.

With the relationship of her daughter Nangong Yaoyao, the Five Poison Sect Leader could not harm her, but it was hard to say for her son Nangong Minghuang.

“What was with that aura just now?”

At this moment, Nangong Mili thought of the cool Qi that suddenly surged from her Sea of Consciousness and Divine Soul when the Sect Leader used her mesmerizing Divine Ability on her.

But no matter how she observed her Sea of Consciousness, she could not find any trace of that Qi.

“Could it be a trump card left by that scoundrel?”

Nangong Mili bit her red lips lightly, missing Lu Changsheng in her heart and hoping he would come.

However, the latter was only contending with the Sect Leader of Heavenly Corpse. If he came to the Five Poison Sect, he would likely be in extreme danger.

Especially since the Five Poison Sect’s methods primarily involved Gu poison, making them impossible to guard against.

What if the Sect Leader used methods like love Gu on Lu Changsheng?

“Sigh.”

Nangong Mili’s heart skipped a beat, realizing that Lu Changsheng seemed not to fear such methods.

There was a powerful Gu worm aura on his body; ordinary Gu worms would be useless, and might even backfire.

However, thinking of her Sect Leader being a Nascent Soul cultivator, Nangong Mili felt another wave of worry.

After all, even Lu Changsheng would find it difficult to resist a Fourth-Order Gu worm, right?

“Nangong Minghuang… Immortal Master Yang Ming.”

The Five Poison Sect Leader looked at the essence blood in her hand, lost in thought.

She took Nangong Minghuang’s heart blood, not to threaten Immortal Master Yang Ming through this child, of course.

She simply used this blood as a medium to deduce Immortal Master Yang Ming’s situation and see if she could obtain some useful information.

“If this person was truly an old monster in the Nascent Soul middle stage, or even the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he must possess top-tier Opportunities and Heaven And Earth Treasure!”

“If I can control him, I can not only obtain a great Opportunity and advance further, but I can even use him to subdue the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yinming Ghost Sect, and then continue to seek Opportunities and climb to the Peak during the upcoming great calamity!”

The Five Poison Sect Leader’s small Face was indifferent, her eyes shimmering with five-colored crystalline luster.

The Five Poison Sect’s Cultivation Technique Divine Abilities were not adept at direct combat. If they contended one-on-one with a Cultivator of the same Realm, they might be weaker.

But with pre-emptive preparation, or by using strength against weakness, they would have a huge advantage, making them impossible to guard against!

“No matter what, this Immortal Master Yang Ming is still a Core Formation cultivator. As long as he hasn’t broken through to Nascent Soul, I still have a chance.”

The Five Poison Sect Leader opened her mouth and spat out a five-colored, mottled Gu worm shaped like a scorpion.

This Gu was named Seven Absolute Gu.

It could transform into a Strength Gu, Qi Gu, Heart Gu, Poison Gu, Dark Gu, Slave Gu, and Love Gu.

Among them, the Love Gu could only be used on one person, and only once.

However, even a Nascent Soul True Lord who was afflicted by the Gu would be affected.

For so many years, there had been no Opportunity for a Nascent Soul True Lord, and ordinary Cultivators were not worth it.

Now, seeing Immortal Master Yang Ming, she gradually formed an idea in her heart.

As long as she invited him through Nangong Mili, dispelling his guard, and then took the Opportunity to strike, she would have the confidence to control him.

“However, this Immortal Master Yang Ming Cultivates both Dharma and Physical Body, and his Physical Body Physique is extraordinary. He must have an unusual resistance to Gu poison, so I need to make more preparations.”

The Five Poison Sect Leader was extremely cautious, treating Immortal Master Yang Ming as a Nascent Soul cultivator.

At the same time, in Jiang Country, Nine Heavens Gang Wind Layer.

“Is Nangong Mili being soul-searched by the Five Poison Sect Leader? This kind of fluctuation should be similar to the Six Desires Heart Demon Art I used, a type of mesmerizing technique, inquiring about my situation.”

On the Golden Winged Roc, Lu Changsheng, who was rushing towards the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, felt something in his heart and looked at the Lu Clan Genealogy.

After being registered in the Genealogy, if someone searched or possessed their soul, the Genealogy could keep their Divine Soul clear and send a warning.

He had just received a warning, and Lu Changsheng took a look; it was from Nangong Mili.

Although he had not officially become Dao Companion with Nangong Mili, as long as she was pregnant with his child and had a bond, he could register her in the Genealogy.

“With me and Nangong Yaoyao, the Five Poison Sect Leader should not harm Nangong Mili. This time, she probably asked Nangong Mili about me, then tried to deal with me, or turn an enemy into a friend and cooperate, or threaten me.”

Lu Changsheng knew that the three Demonic Sects of Jin Country were not a single entity, mainly cooperating and binding for mutual benefit.

In this battle, although the Five Poison Sect Leader was injured, it was not a significant loss.

In earlier years, when he went to the Yinming Ghost Sect to cause trouble, the Five Poison Sect Leader did not pursue the matter at all, and even had Nangong Mili invite him.

“As long as I don’t show up, Nangong Mili’s situation will be temporarily stable, and even if I go to Jin Country now, I am not a match for the Five Poison Sect Leader.”

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, planning to go to the Five Poison Sect again after he broke through to the Core Formation Late Stage and was confident in contending with a Nascent Soul cultivator.

“It’s a good Opportunity to go to Jin Country and get a Demonic Path Golden Core to refine the Vatican Devil True Saint Art. This way, my combat strength can rise another level.”

Although this Cultivation Technique was very troublesome to Cultivate later on and consumed a lot of Materials.

But as long as it was successfully Cultivated, it could raise his combat strength by another level.

Previously, Lu Changsheng didn’t care much.

Now that he had entered the Nascent Soul Realm, realizing his Cultivation was far from enough, he was willing to improve his combat strength as much as possible.

“But the main thing is still to see the next lottery.”

Compared to the Vatican Devil True Saint Art, Lu Changsheng was more looking forward to his son Lu Quanzhen’s Breakthrough.

If he drew a Nascent Soul-level combat strength, the crisis would be resolved easily.

“No, I can’t expect it. The more I expect this thing, the more likely I am to be disappointed.”

Lu Changsheng put away the Genealogy and stood with his hands behind his back on the Golden Winged Roc, gazing towards the front line of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

Six days later, Lu Changsheng arrived at the front-line stronghold and activated Qingluan True Monarch’s communication Talisman.

Seeing the reply from the communication Talisman, Lu Changsheng immediately rode the Golden Winged Roc to the Qingluan Immortal City stronghold.

“Greetings, Immortal Master Yang Ming!”

“Greetings, Immortal Master Yang Ming!”

After the battle with the Two-Headed Flood Dragon, the top Cultivators of Jiang Country all recognized Immortal Master Yang Ming.

Some Foundation Establishment Cultivators, even if they didn’t know Immortal Master Yang Ming, had heard of his name and knew about the Golden Winged Roc.

“Fellow Daoist Yang Ming.”

A moment later, Qingluan True Monarch, dressed in a luxurious cyan jade brocade robe and wearing a glazed crown, appeared like a graceful Young Master. Her beautiful eyes, like stars, assessed Lu Changsheng’s condition.

It hadn’t even been a month, and this Immortal Master Yang Ming’s injuries had recovered?

One must know that even after her battle with the Two-Headed Flood Dragon, her physical condition had not fully recovered and required a long period of recuperation.

And the Divine Ability Secret Arts and Fourth-Order Talisman that Lu Changsheng unleashed at that time would definitely cause a severe burden and after-effects on his body.

“Greetings, Green Luan Daoyou.”

Lu Changsheng cupped his hands with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist, please come inside.”

Qingluan True Monarch gestured for Lu Changsheng to enter, and the two came to a pavilion to talk.

“Regarding the previous battle, Fellow Daoist should know that the more relevant information is revealed, the greater the variables and risks.”

“Xuanjian Zhenjun and I used divination and calculation. The卦象 was uncertain, but generally favorable, so we did not reveal any relevant information to anyone, so as not to affect the overall situation. Therefore, please forgive us, Fellow Daoist.”

Qingluan True Monarch explained to Lu Changsheng.

Divination and calculation are not absolute, and variables can appear at any time.

Moreover, revealing information to the outside world also makes it easy for the opponent’s Divination Master to perceive the information.

“Haha, Lu naturally understands this.”

Lu Changsheng had learned a lot about divination from Honglian.

He knew that after divining any matter, any casual action could trigger unknown variables.

However, since Qingluan True Monarch, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, was willing to explain, he should be content with that.

Could he really demand an explanation from her?

If he broke through to the ‘Tape Realm’ and had enough strength, he could naturally say whatever he wanted.

But now, the other party was calling him Fellow Daoist, treating him as an equal, which was already giving him Face.

Furthermore, Qingluan True Monarch and Xuanjian Zhenjun had not anticipated this matter, and he and Xiao Xiyue and others had only guessed that the Demonic Path would come to cause trouble.

“This is Fellow Daoist’s Fourth-Order Demonic Core.”

At this moment, Qingluan True Monarch handed over a jade box, inside which was a large, fist-sized, perfectly round Demonic Core, flowing with emerald green light and emitting a poisonous Demonic Qi!

It was the Demonic Core of the Two-Headed Flood Dragon!

“Thank you, Green Luan Daoyou!”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw this Demonic Core.

For him, the biggest gain from this trip was this Fourth-Order item!

“Haha, this is what Fellow Daoist deserves.”

Qingluan True Monarch laughed freely, “Xuanjian Zhenjun had hoped to meet Fellow Daoist and invite you to be a guest at the Heaven Sword Sect, but I temporarily declined on your behalf. Please don’t blame me, Fellow Daoist.”

“How could I? This matter has been hard on True Monarch. Our previous request still stands.”

Compared to Qingluan True Monarch, Lu Changsheng was more wary of Xuanjian Zhenjun and tried to avoid contact as much as possible.

As for the three requests, he didn’t bother to haggle.

After all, once he broke through to Nascent Soul, he wouldn’t need to trouble Qingluan True Monarch anymore. It was better to be generous now and gain more favorability.

If he could max out his favorability and become a like-minded Fellow Daoist or Dao Companion, wouldn’t that be more profitable than one or two requests?

Qingluan True Monarch was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

She understood that the other party was actively trying to befriend and show goodwill, indicating that this cooperation was pleasant.

“Oh, then thank you, Fellow Daoist Yang Ming.”

Qingluan True Monarch smiled freely, very much liking to deal with such straightforward people.

However, she also took this contribution for granted.

When she went to discuss the Fourth-Order Demonic Core with Xuanjian Zhenjun and to obtain it, she also put in a lot of effort.

“Previously, Fellow Daoist contributed to my Immortal City. This is the calculated battle merit. Fellow Daoist can exchange it for corresponding Heaven And Earth Treasure.”

Qingluan True Monarch handed over another Jade Slip.

Previously, she had invited Lu Changsheng to represent Qingluan Immortal City and kill the Demon King.

In the final battle, the nine Demon Kings and two Third-Order Flood Dragons were taken away by Lu Changsheng himself.

Of the remaining seven Demon Kings, five had Lu Changsheng’s contribution, and these were all counted under Qingluan Immortal City’s name.

“May I exchange for some more Fourth-Order Flood Dragon Blood and Flood Dragon Skin?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Jade Slip and pondered before asking.

After this battle, he realized that he still lacked some conventional trump cards and was thinking of cultivating several Fourth-Order Talisman through the ‘Talisman Nurturing Method’.

However, to Cultivate Fourth-Order Talisman, he needed Fourth-Order Talisman Skin and Talisman Ink as raw Materials to upgrade them.

This Two-Headed Flood Dragon, as a Fourth-Order Demon King, its dragon scales, skin, and blood could be used to refine Fourth-Order Talisman Skin and Talisman Ink.
