Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 626: Qingxuan Mountain, Nangong Yaoyao forms the elixir!
Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
After the previous pioneering war ended, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Chensha, and Lu Yunfei exchanged their military merits for a second-grade spiritual land.
Now this spiritual land has been allocated, but it is still barren and needs to be cultivated.
“Qingxuan Mountain, that’s a good name.”
Lu Changsheng nodded gently.
This spiritual land was named after his son, Lu Qingxuan.
On the one hand, Lu Qingxuan was the oldest among these people.
On the other hand, Lu Qingxuan contributed the most military merits when exchanging for the spiritual land.
Although Lu Chensha had more military merits than Lu Qingxuan, he used a lot of his merits to exchange for resources.
Furthermore, the brothers believed that this was not the first spiritual land they had opened up, and each of them would have a turn to name one in the future.
This is the first spiritual land that the Lu family descendants have claimed through their own efforts, which is very commemorative. Lu Changsheng, as their father, was not stingy and gave them 100,000 spirit stones as initial capital.
“Thank you, Father!”
After so many years, these Lu family descendants also knew that as long as they could achieve something and carve out a place for themselves, their father would not be stingy!
“Where is Lingxiao?”
Lu Changsheng asked.
Lu Qingxuan said that Lu Lingxiao often went out alone to train, and not long ago, Lu Wangshu called him out again.
Half a month later, Lu Lingxiao and Lu Wangshu returned, covered in dust.
“Dad, Father!”
Both of them were a little surprised to see Lu Changsheng.
“Mother, Sister Qingzhu.”
Lu Wangshu was even more surprised to see Lu Miaoge and Lu Qingzhu.
After all, Lu Qingzhu had been away for many years and rarely returned home. Was she brought back from Yue Country by her father?
Immediately, Lu Changsheng was concerned about Lu Lingxiao’s situation, and Lu Miaoge was concerned about Lu Wangshu’s situation here.
Normally, Lu Lingxiao preferred to go out alone to train himself, or spar with the immortal sect disciples here.
However, with his Emperor’s Qi Observation Technique and Second-Grade Dragon Seeking Technique, he was like a fish in water in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, easily finding opportunities and ore veins.
Although Lu Lingxiao felt that the current resources were enough, Lu Wangshu was a money-grubber and often dragged Lu Lingxiao out to explore and search for treasures.
Even if they didn’t want the ore veins they found, they could report them to the Four Great Immortal Sects in exchange for military merits.
“Lu Wangshu, how poor are you?”
Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter and said somewhat speechlessly.
“Dad, you see, practicing talisman making costs money. If I encounter danger and use a talisman array, my savings for half a year will be gone.”
“And Little Bing and Little Yi need to be supported, my natal divine talisman needs to be refined, and there are talisman soldiers. You know how expensive it is to cultivate talisman soldiers.”
Lu Wangshu immediately pleaded poverty.
“You are only at the Foundation Establishment stage now, Dao soldiers are not something you can touch. Cultivating Dao soldiers will impoverish three generations. No matter how many spirit stones you have, you can’t fill this bottomless pit.”
Lu Changsheng said earnestly.
Let alone his daughter, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Even he, a Core Formation cultivator, had no interest in spending money to cultivate Dao soldiers.
This thing is a bottomless pit!
“I know, but I’ve cultivated them for so long, and now giving up feels like a waste.”
Lu Wangshu looked sad, then held Lu Changsheng’s arm and said pitifully, “How about you sponsor me some more spirit stones, Dad.”
Lu Changsheng: “???”
“Alas, you don’t know the cost of living unless you manage a household. Dad is usually unable to make ends meet, and now he doesn’t even have enough money to refine magic treasures.”
“When I went to visit your brother Qingshan this time, I really had very little money left. Your mother Miaoge is going to prepare for Core Formation later, and the money is not yet available… Dad is still counting on you to become a third-grade talisman master and share some of the pressure for me.”
Lu Changsheng said with a sigh.
Who doesn’t know how to plead poverty?
However, Lu Wangshu didn’t fall for this at all and looked at her old father with disdain, saying, “Dad, don’t think I don’t know that you have another identity as True Man Yangming. You also cooperated with True Monarch Qingluan to hunt demon kings before. How can you be short of money in this situation?”
Having been in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and Qingluan Immortal City for so long, Lu Wangshu had heard rumors about True Man Yangming.
Then, based on the description, she instantly guessed that this True Man Yangming was her old man.
“I’m just poor, that’s why Dad had to hunt demon kings to earn money. Think about the expenses at home, just the daily spirit stones and medicinal baths are a huge amount, and…”
“You don’t know, Dad hasn’t been willing to refine a second natal magic treasure for himself all these years, just because he’s poor…”
As Lu Changsheng spoke, he realized how ridiculous his family’s expenses were.
If it weren’t for him, the old ancestor, being diligent and having the Great Dream Immortal City, he wouldn’t be able to handle it at all.
“Dad, are you really that poor?”
Lu Wangshu looked at her old man complaining bitterly and said half-believingly.
Thinking about it carefully, the family’s welfare benefits were indeed not enough to cover expenses, plus her old man usually spent money lavishly.
“Definitely.”
Lu Changsheng sighed and nodded.
“Dad, I still have some spirit stones and a lot of talismans and puppets here. If I sell them, I can exchange for a lot of spirit stones.”
Lu Wangshu said with some hesitation and pain.
His daughter was still his little padded jacket. Lu Changsheng felt relieved in his heart, stroked her hair, and said, “It’s okay, Dad will find a way to earn some more later.”
“It’s okay, Dad. I can gather some, I can still gather over a hundred thousand spirit stones. I’ll go to the immortal city to sell my assets later.”
The father and daughter were loving.
In the end, Lu Wangshu happily accepted the last 30,000 spirit stones from her old man.
No money? Who are you kidding?
Others might not know, but she knew very well.
He could draw third-grade talismans with his eyes closed, was also proficient in alchemy, artifact refining, and formation arrays, possessed the Great Dream Immortal City, and blocked the door of the Yin冥 Ghost Sect in Jin Country.
In this situation, her old man said he was short of money?
Even if he was short, it wasn’t a difference of a few hundred thousand spirit stones!
Lu Wangshu patted her storage bag, feeling happy. Wasn’t this much easier than hunting demon beasts and taking Lu Lingxiao to search for treasures?
Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry to go back. After spending time with Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing, he guided Lu Lingxiao, Lu Qingxuan, and others on array formations at Qingxuan Mountain and set up arrays for Qingxuan Mountain.
The path of formation arrays is vast and profound, and knowing more about it wouldn’t hurt.
On this day, a pure and dense stream of magic power suddenly poured into Lu Changsheng’s Sea of Qi and Dantian.
“Qingshan has broken through to Core Formation?”
Lu Changsheng could feel that this was the magic power from his children breaking through to Core Formation.
This stream of magic power was no less than when his son Lu Quanzhen broke through, and even slightly more.
“No, it should be Yaoyao.”
It had been less than half a year since he sent Lu Qingshan back to the Jinyang Sect, and it was impossible for him to reach Core Formation so quickly.
So Lu Changsheng immediately thought of his other daughter - Nangong Yaoyao!
She had reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment earlier than Lu Qingshan, and at that time, Lu Changsheng was amazed by her cultivation speed.
Now, breaking through to Core Formation was a matter of course.
Moreover, this magic power bonus was definitely for an Immortal Golden Core!
“System.”
Lu Changsheng’s mind stirred slightly.
【Name: Nangong Yaoyao】
【Lifespan: 64/681】
【Talent: Second-Grade Spiritual Root, Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body (Top-tier Spiritual Body)】
【Cultivation: Core Formation Stage 1】
【Talent: Charm Technique Compatibility (100%)】
“It’s indeed Yaoyao.”
Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter’s system interface and couldn’t help but marvel.
A Core Formation cultivator at sixty-four years old was simply astonishing!
Moreover, based on the magic power situation, his daughter had an Immortal Golden Core, even slightly stronger than his son Lu Quanzhen.
“It seems that Yaoyao took so long to break through to Core Formation because she was accumulating her foundation to ensure she condensed an Immortal Golden Core.”
“Is this the foundation of the Immortal Lotus Sect, one of the Seven Demonic Sects!”
Lu Changsheng marveled in his heart.
He had discussed his daughter’s situation with Nangong Moli before.
He knew that True Monarch White Lotus had promised to help Nangong Yaoyao cleanse her Dao foundation and perfectly transfer to the Immortal Lotus Sect’s inheritance.
But even so, Nangong Yaoyao still had to spend time learning and researching the Immortal Lotus Sect’s cultivation methods, thus delaying her progress.
After all, not everyone was like him, who could directly obtain the system inheritance and save this time.
“And this lifespan…”
Although he knew that the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body had a much longer lifespan than ordinary cultivators, seeing his daughter Nangong Yaoyao’s lifespan and then thinking of his son Lu Quanzhen’s lifespan, Lu Changsheng was speechless for a moment.
This was more than twice Lu Quanzhen’s lifespan.
“If this continues, I estimate that Yaoyao’s cultivation will surpass her mother in the future.”
Lu Changsheng muttered in his heart, and then thought of Nangong Moli and her son who were far away in Jin Country.
The family tree hadn’t shown any movement in the past few years, but he was still a little worried about the previous situation.
“Go home!”
For a moment, Lu Changsheng felt a sense of urgency.
He planned to go home and quickly cultivate the “True Saint of Brahma Demon Technique”, condense his domain, improve his combat power, and then go to the Five Poisons Sect.
Originally, Lu Qingqi wanted to stay because her younger brother Lu Qingxuan was in Qingluan Immortal City and Lu Qingxuan, Lu Wangshu, and others were also here.
But Lu Miaohuan felt that her daughter had nothing to do here, was she just a mascot? She forcibly took her away, saying that Lu Qingzhu had just returned and needed her company.
This time home, Lu Changsheng didn’t leisurely travel back, but took his wife and children back quickly.
A month later, the family returned to Bihu Mountain.
Looking at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar scene before her, Lu Qingzhu’s expression was in a trance.
It had been over twenty years since she last returned home.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to come back.
At first, Lu Qingshan had something to do, responded to Liang Country’s provocation, the sect’s secret realm, and then encountered the war with Liang Country, which made it impossible for her to go home.
After returning home, Lu Changsheng held a family banquet as usual, lively and bustling.
In the evening, after the events.
Qu Zhenzhen told Lu Changsheng a piece of news: the Mysterious Wood Vine had been completely revived, and she had tried pouring a drop of Myriad Spirit Heaven-Piercing Dew, which showed signs of flowering.
“So fast? Is it true that the Mysterious Wood Vine bears fruit every thousand years?”
Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows.
He had previously guessed that the Mysterious Wood Vine, as a symbiotic spiritual vine, should bear fruit around a thousand years, based on the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine bearing fruit every ten thousand years.
Now, calculating the time, his family had poured a total of four drops of Myriad Spirit Heaven-Piercing Dew and there were signs of flowering. So, it might really take around a thousand years for it to flower and bear fruit, and he had guessed correctly.
“Good, I’ll trouble you, Zhenzhen, and the others to continue taking care of it in the future.”
Lu Changsheng caressed his little wife and said.
The next day, Lu Changsheng went to see his Mysterious Wood Vine.
Qu Zhenzhen was indeed right, the Mysterious Wood Vine showed signs of flowering, but only signs.
Myriad Spirit Heaven-Piercing Dew was one drop a year, and this kind of thing couldn’t be rushed. Lu Changsheng just let nature take its course and didn’t pay too much attention.
When his daughter Lu Qingzhu returned, Lu Miaoge took her to Qingzhu Mountain to pay respects to her maternal grandfather, Lu Yuanding.
Lu Changsheng also took Lu Miaohuan and Lu Miaoyun with him to pay respects to his father-in-law and grandmother.
During the previous pioneering war, Qingzhu Mountain lost a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and Lu Yuanzhong was greatly affected.
Now, this old ancestor of Qingzhu Mountain was truly old and frail, his body hunched, his white hair sparse, like an old tree that had gone through vicissitudes, its branches and leaves withered and full of fatigue.
Lu Changsheng could see that the latter had only three to five years of lifespan left.
When the latter passed away, all the old generation of Qingzhu Mountain would be gone.
“Uncle, I obtained a Core Condensing Pill through the pioneering war. Sister Miaoge will be attempting Core Formation in the next few years, and at that time, a grand ceremony will be held at Qingzhu Mountain.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the old man, feeling emotional, and said softly.
He and Xiao Xiyue exchanged for the Core Condensing Pill from the Qingyun Sect to allow his wife to reveal her Core Formation cultivation openly and honestly.
Thinking of his father-in-law Lu Yuanding, the Fourth Elder, and the old man in front of him, Lu Changsheng decided to hold Lu Miaoge’s Core Formation ceremony at Qingzhu Mountain, which could also be considered a curtain call for the old generation of Qingzhu Mountain, symbolizing that Qingzhu Mountain would usher in a better future.
“Core Formation!”
Lu Yuanzhong’s cloudy eyes glowed slightly upon hearing this, and his wrinkled, spotted hands trembled with excitement.
For Lu Changsheng, it was just a Core Formation and a ceremony.
But for a family cultivator like Lu Yuanzhong, having a Core Formation True Person in the family was the supreme glory, the supreme honor, truly bringing glory to their ancestors!
Even if this Core Formation True Person had married someone else, she still carried the bloodline of their Lu family of Qingzhu Mountain!
“Miaoge, you are going to attempt Core Formation?”
Lu Yuanzhong looked at his niece with some disbelief.
To be honest, even after seeing Lu Changsheng break through to Core Formation, he had never fantasized that Lu Miaoge could reach Core Formation.
Because Core Formation was too distant for them.
“Yes, Great Uncle.”
Lu Miaoge nodded gently and used the True Water of Taiyi to nourish the old man’s body.
Hearing that Lu Miaoge would attempt Core Formation in the next few years, Lu Yuanzhong’s almost exhausted body miraculously surged with some vitality.
Even if he died, he wanted to see his niece break through to Core Formation, hold the grand ceremony at Qingzhu Mountain, and then offer sacrifices to his ancestors before he died!
Bihu Mountain, Sumeru Cave Heaven.
“Father, I am almost ready.”
Lu Quanzhen said.
If he wanted to cultivate divine abilities in seclusion, he could continue cultivating, but in his opinion, there was no need.
The best divine abilities are honed through battles and the baptism of blood!
“Good.”
Lu Changsheng heard this and prepared to send his son Lu Quanzhen to the Starry Sea first.
“Sister Miaoge, send me a message when you attempt Core Formation.”
Lu Changsheng asked his wife Lu Miaoge to stay at Bihu Mountain, preside over affairs, and cultivate with peace of mind.
At that time, she would break through to Core Formation in the Sumeru Cave Heaven, just like him, and then go to the Great Dream Immortal City to reveal her Core Formation cultivation.
As for going to the Qingyun Sect to break through, it was still unnecessary.
After preparing for so long and with the help of the Sun-Moon Reincarnation Technique and the Taiyi Shengshui Technique, Lu Miaoge still had a high probability of condensing a high-grade Golden Core.
If she attempted to condense a high-grade Golden Core in the Qingyun Sect, it would be simply astonishing.
“Hmm~”
Lu Miaoge responded softly.
After visiting her children in Yue Country and resolving her inner knots, and now seeing the situation at Qingzhu Mountain and thinking of her great uncle’s words, she realized that Qingzhu Mountain needed her care in the future, and her Dao heart became much firmer.
Recalling the early years, she was one of the Foundation Establishment seeds of Qingzhu Mountain, with a firm Dao heart.
However, after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, she was temporarily lost and gradually became a virtuous wife and loving mother in Bihu Mountain.
Now that her horizons had broadened, she knew that Jiang Country was just a corner. Even if she couldn’t keep up with her husband’s pace, she would do what she could within her power.
After saying goodbye to Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng left Bihu Mountain with his son Lu Quanzhen and headed for the Great Dream Marsh.
