Chapter 625: True Lord Qingluan: From now on you can just call me Aunt Mu!

Three months later.

Lu Changsheng and his wife and children returned to Qingluan Immortal City from the Yue Kingdom.

“Sister Miaoge, take Xiaozhu and Qier to stroll around, I’ll take Xuan’er to see a friend.”

Lu Changsheng had already informed Lu Miaoge in advance about sending his son to study under True Monarch Qingluan.

Although Lu Miaoge was surprised, she readily agreed after hearing Lu Changsheng’s thoughts.

She knew very well that Bihu Mountain, and even the entire Jiang Kingdom, were too small, merely a corner of the Southern Wilderness.

If her son wanted to achieve something, to form a Core and become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future, he had to go out.

If he could become a disciple of True Monarch Qingluan, the number one loose cultivator renowned throughout the Jiang Kingdom, his future would definitely be brighter!

“Okay~”

Lu Miaoge, with her water-like temperament, gently replied, taking her two daughters to play and shop in the city.

Lu Changsheng then brought his wife Lu Miaohuan and son Lu Qingxuan to the City Lord’s Mansion, presenting the Qingyu Liujin Token that True Monarch Qingluan had given him in his early years.

“Senior, please.”

The steward of the City Lord’s Mansion saw the token and immediately respectfully invited Lu Changsheng and his family into the mansion, served them tea, and said that the True Monarch was in seclusion and he would notify him.

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

“Father.”

At this moment, Lu Qingxuan seemed to realize something and looked at Lu Changsheng.

“When encountering matters, remain calm.”

Lu Changsheng said calmly and indifferently.

“Yes.”

Lu Qingxuan instantly knew that his guess was correct upon hearing this. He took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and tried to calm his emotions.

However, when he thought that the teacher his father was taking him to meet was the master of this Immortal City, the number one loose cultivator in the Jiang Kingdom, True Monarch Qingluan, he couldn’t help but feel his emotions surge.

Not only Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan, who had grown up listening to the legendary stories of True Monarch Qingluan in their early years and yearned for him, but so did he.

Lu Miaohuan, who was beside him, although she had met True Monarch Qingluan once, was still somewhat nervous and uneasy at this time, tightly holding Lu Changsheng’s hand.

If Lu Changsheng hadn’t said not to worry about it, she would have even wanted to return to the Tianyuan Treasure Imperial Lotus.

A Nascent Soul cultivator like True Monarch Qingluan was naturally not someone you could meet whenever you wanted.

Although the steward said that True Monarch Qingluan was in seclusion, under normal circumstances, whether he was in seclusion or not, that was basically what they claimed.

After waiting for nearly an hour, True Monarch Qingluan, dressed in a luxurious cyan jade brocade robe and exquisite brocade boots, finally arrived late.

“Fellow Daoist Changsheng, you’ve been waiting for a long time.”

She looked at Lu Changsheng in the hall, then glanced at Lu Miaohuan and Lu Qingxuan, and slightly cupped her hands in greeting.

However, with just a simple glance, Lu Miaohuan and Lu Qingxuan felt as if they had been seen through from head to toe.

“Is this True Monarch Qingluan, the number one loose cultivator in the Jiang Kingdom?”

Lu Qingxuan sat upright, wanting to stand up and salute, but his body was somewhat stiff.

“I’ve troubled True Monarch Qingluan to come here.”

Lu Changsheng guessed that True Monarch Qingluan should have just rushed over from the Poison Dragon Pool.

“Fellow Daoist Changsheng has come to visit, I should naturally treat you well. Fellow Daoist can notify me in advance next time, so I can prepare a banquet to entertain you.”

True Monarch Qingluan smiled casually and sat down opposite Lu Changsheng, without any airs of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Lu Miaohuan and Lu Qingxuan, who were beside him, saw their husband and father conversing with this number one loose cultivator in the Jiang Kingdom, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, as equals, and their expressions were slightly dazed.

Although they knew that their husband and father were very powerful, being the master of the Great Dream Immortal City, capable of killing a late-stage Core Formation cultivator with a single sword.

However, due to their close relationship, and Lu Changsheng not having much prestige on weekdays, they could not directly experience the impact brought about by this status.

Now that Lu Changsheng and True Monarch Qingluan addressed each other as fellow Daoists and talked and laughed, the two of them instantly had a clearer understanding.

They realized that their husband and father might still be gentle and amiable at home, but outside, he was a top-level cultivator who could dominate the lives of countless cultivators!

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lu Changsheng introduced Lu Miaohuan and Lu Qingxuan, and then cupped his hands and said, “To be honest, the reason for visiting Fellow Daoist in Immortal City this time is to ask for something.”

“Fellow Daoist Changsheng, please speak freely.”

Although she could not deduce or understand Lu Changsheng’s intentions, seeing Lu Miaohuan and Lu Qingxuan, she had some guesses and premonitions in her heart.

“Fellow Daoist should know that Lu is not proficient in divination, but my son happens to be very interested in this path, so Lu wants to find him a teacher, and see if my son’s talent can enter Fellow Daoist’s eyes.”

Lu Changsheng said with cupped hands.

Lu Qingxuan immediately bowed.

Taking a disciple?

True Monarch Qingluan did not speak.

Accepting disciples in the cultivation world is not a casual matter.

Once you accept a disciple, it’s like becoming their reborn parents, and you will be stained with karma and luck.

Especially accepting Lu Qingxuan in front of her as a disciple, she will also have some kind of karmic entanglement with this ‘Nascent Soul Old Monster’ Lu Changsheng.

Although she wanted to form an alliance with Lu Changsheng before to improve her ability to resist risks.

But after confirming Lu Changsheng’s identity as a reincarnated Nascent Soul Old Monster, and seeing the mysterious ‘Li Muwan’, she now harbored some fear and vigilance towards Lu Changsheng.

Another reason is that her divination inheritance is different from ordinary people.

Once it is known and leaked out, it will have a great impact on her.

At this time, Lu Changsheng asked his son to become her disciple and learn divination, which made her think too much.

“Fellow Daoist Changsheng also knows that the Poison Dragon Pool is currently being reclaimed and an Immortal City is being built. I really don’t have the time to spare, and I have no plans to accept disciples.”

“If Fellow Daoist requests, I can grant a nominal disciple, and give some guidance on weekdays, but as for divination, my inheritance is difficult for ordinary people to enter.”

True Monarch Qingluan pondered slightly.

Although she couldn’t deduce Lu Changsheng’s situation, she could still sense good and bad fortune in the dark.

She believed that befriending Lu Changsheng had both advantages and disadvantages, but in most cases, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

Therefore, in this situation, she was willing to accept Lu Qingxuan as a nominal disciple, and use this to observe and see what Lu Changsheng’s purpose was.

“A nominal disciple.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t have much hope for his son becoming a disciple this time.

He mainly wanted his son to obtain the longevity-preserving divination inheritance from True Monarch Qingluan, and to broaden his horizons and gain experience in Qingluan Immortal City.

Now it seems that it is probably difficult in terms of inheritance.

“How about this, let my son cultivate here in Qingluan Immortal City for ten years. Fellow Daoist can guide and teach him a thing or two when you have time, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t have time. Arrange some affairs for him to learn and gain experience, and broaden his horizons and experience.”

“When the time comes, if Fellow Daoist thinks that my son’s talent is barely passable, then accept him as a nominal disciple. If there is really no fate, then we won’t force it.”

Lu Changsheng saw that True Monarch Qingluan was not very willing to accept a disciple, but didn’t want to completely reject his face, so he agreed.

In this situation, he didn’t force it, and even took the initiative to back down.

After all, without obtaining the divination inheritance, the status of a nominal disciple is useless.

If his son can gain the approval of True Monarch Qingluan within these ten years and be accepted as a disciple, it means there is hope.

True Monarch Qingluan heard this and happily agreed: “Naturally, that’s fine.”

Rather than getting involved in a master-disciple relationship, it’s better to form a normal relationship.

This way, she can not only interact further with Lu Changsheng, but also take the opportunity to observe Lu Qingxuan and understand Lu Changsheng’s situation.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll leave my son in your care from now on, Fellow Daoist.”

Lu Changsheng cupped his hands, then said to his son: “Xuan’er, why don’t you thank True Monarch.”

“Junior Lu Qingxuan, thank you very much, True Monarch!”

Lu Qingxuan took a deep breath and bowed respectfully.

“Since you are the son of Daoist Changsheng, you may call me Aunt Mu from now on.”

The Lu Qingxuan in front of her was sent by Lu Changsheng to seek apprenticeship, so he was definitely not an ordinary descendant. Therefore, True Monarch Qingluan was willing to acknowledge this junior.

“Is this True Monarch Qingluan surnamed Mu, or does her name contain the character Mu?”

Having known her for so long, Lu Changsheng did not know True Monarch Qingluan’s name.

This is a common occurrence in the world of cultivation.

Many cultivators, after breaking through to the Core Formation stage, would use their Daoist name as their name, abandoning their real name, and the outside world would gradually forget their real name.

“Thank you, Aunt Mu!”

Although True Monarch Qingluan’s voice was calm and dignified, even with a hint of indifference and aloofness, these words acknowledged him as a junior.

After temporarily settling his son Lu Qingxuan’s affairs, Lu Changsheng continued to drink tea and chat with True Monarch Qingluan.

At this time, True Monarch Qingluan stated that the fate Dao layout of Great Dream Immortal City had been completed.

“No wonder.”

Lu Changsheng suddenly understood.

The latest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba.

Just now, he felt that the other party’s attitude was slightly different from before, and suspected that the other party had some other purpose.

Now it seems that Hong Lian’s side was very smooth, confirming his identity as a reincarnated Nascent Soul.

“Thank you for your trouble, True Monarch.”

Lu Changsheng also inquired about the establishment of the Immortal City on the Poison Dragon Pool side.

“If you want to completely clean up the poisonous miasma and baleful aura of the Poison Dragon Pool, and completely change the mountains and earth veins to establish an Immortal City, it will take at least several decades.”

True Monarch Qingluan shook her head and said.

How could it be easy to establish a Tier 4 Immortal City?

The initial workload is very huge, requiring a massive investment of resources.

If it weren’t for this, the Heavenly Sword Sect would not have handed over this Tier 4 spiritual land like Poison Dragon Pool to True Monarch Qingluan.

After chatting for half an hour.

“In that case, I will trouble you, Daoist friend, to take care of this unworthy son. If there is anything inappropriate about this unworthy son, Daoist friend can send me a message at any time.”

Lu Changsheng cupped his hands and bid farewell, very politely.

Then he said to his son: “Xuan’er, in the future, when you see your Aunt Mu, you must respect her as you would your father, do you understand?”

“Please rest assured, Father, your child understands.”

Through the conversation just now, Lu Qingxuan also knew that his father sent him here, possibly owing a favor.

Therefore, he must perform well in the future and strive to gain True Monarch Qingluan’s approval.

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng gave him a few more instructions, then left with Lu Miaohuan to bid farewell.

“Since you have some insights into management, you can first serve as a steward in this Immortal City.”

After Lu Changsheng left, True Monarch Qingluan looked at Lu Qingxuan, her eyebrows were heroic and solemn, full of dignified aura.

Even though Lu Qingxuan had served as the head of the family for many years, and was already a leader among his peers, he was still filled with an unspeakable pressure when facing this True Monarch alone, and dared not look directly at her.

“Thank you, Aunt Mu.”

He bowed and saluted.

“In terms of divination, do you currently have any doubts? Questions?”

Although True Monarch Qingluan’s divination inheritance is different from most divination methods, all methods lead to the same destination. It is naturally not a problem to guide Lu Qingxuan.

Lu Qingxuan immediately stated his doubts in divination.

True Monarch Qingluan nodded slightly, seeing that Lu Qingxuan’s divination inheritance was not bad, it should be a Tier 3, or even Tier 4 inheritance.

It’s just as Lu Changsheng said, without a famous teacher to guide him, he completely relied on his own exploration.

Whether it is cultivation techniques or immortal crafts, if you only have inheritance without someone to teach you, it is easy to take detours.

Especially inheritances like divination, which are mysterious and profound.

As True Monarch Qingluan solved his doubts and gave pointers, Lu Qingxuan suddenly felt as if he had broken through the clouds and suddenly understood.

He felt that this Aunt Mu’s understanding of divination was much higher than the Du Diviner that his father had invited before.

Although that Du Diviner also benefited him a lot, compared with this True Monarch, they were simply worlds apart!

“Husband, is it okay to leave Xuan’er here like this?”

After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Miaohuan was still a little worried.

“This True Monarch Qingluan is currently trustworthy. Before, I gave her the Heavenly Phoenix True Feather, and she owes me three favors. It’s just such a small matter, she will naturally take good care of Xuan’er.”

Lu Changsheng did not force her to take him as a registered disciple, just hoping that True Monarch Qingluan could take care of his son as much as possible.

Under this circumstance, how much he can gain depends on his son’s performance.

“If Xuan’er stays in Azure Lake Mountain all the time, he will only waste his talent. Qingluan Immortal City is located on the border of Jiang and Yue countries, and is now expanding, guarding the Myriad Beast Mountain Range. Xuan’er can also gain more knowledge and learn things here.”

Although true experience may require leaving Jiang Country and going to the more vast world of cultivation.

But you have to eat one bite at a time, and Jiang Country is currently enough for the children in the family to grow up.

A moment later, Lu Changsheng reunited with Lu Miaoge and the other two.

“Changsheng, Xuan’er, he…”

Lu Miaoge didn’t see her son, her beautiful eyes were both happy and worried.

“He wasn’t accepted as a disciple.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head lightly and said: “I just let him study and train here.”

“Daddy, what’s wrong with little brother, isn’t he coming back?”

Lu Qingqi, holding pastries in her hand, also asked with concern.

“Daddy has a friend here who happens to be proficient in divination, so I sent Xuan’er to her side to study for a period of time. If you miss him in the future, you can come to Immortal City to find him.”

Lu Changsheng patted his daughter’s head and explained.

“Oh.”

Lu Qingqi was a little reluctant.

In the whole family, she has the best relationship with her younger brother Lu Qingxuan.

Although the latter is half a year younger than her, the two are like siblings.

“It’s not far from Qingyun Workshop to Qingluan Immortal City, and you can also take a spirit ship to come over. After you go home, cultivate hard, don’t be left far behind by Xuan’er by then.”

Lu Miaohuan beside her urged her daughter.

Although Lu Qingxuan was not accepted as a disciple by True Monarch Qingluan, his future will not be bad.

“I know~”

Lu Qingqi replied weakly, feeling that how could she compare with her younger brother.

“Xiao Qi, you are the best, I believe in you.”

Lu Qingzhu cheered for her younger sister.

“But I don’t believe in myself, Sister, you don’t know…”

In her early years, Lu Qingqi always thought that her younger brother was delayed by family affairs, and his cultivation strength was similar to her own.

But during the attack on Azure Bamboo Mountain before, she discovered that her younger brother’s strength far surpassed her own.

Between words, she gesticulated and described her younger brother’s combat power, saying how powerful that technique was. If it weren’t for being delayed by family affairs, it was estimated that her younger brother’s cultivation would be even higher.

Moreover, her younger brother usually studies divination, and can calculate accurately.

Listening to her sister’s chattering, Lu Qingzhu realized that her younger brother was so powerful.

Before, Lu Qingxuan had always behaved like a gentle gentleman, without the slightest publicity, very humble, completely different from his older brother Lu Qingshan.

Since he came to Qingluan Immortal City, Lu Changsheng also went to visit Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and his children who were training here.

Moreover, Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan and others had not seen the Myriad Beast Mountain Range after reclamation.
