Chapter 900: The wealthy Qu Changge is another magician!

Chapter 896: The Rich Qu Changge, Another Dharma Seed!

In the evening, Lu Caizhen returned to Bihu Mountain with her husband, Hong Xuanji, and their children from Hongye Valley Market.

“Mother, why did you call me back?”

Although Lu Caizhen was the main person in charge of Hongye Valley Market, she wasn’t busy and would return regularly to accompany Qu Zhenzhen.

For this, the Lu Family even provided her with a top-tier second-grade flying boat for convenient travel.

Qu Zhenzhen was preparing spirit meals with some juniors, and with a joyful expression, she said to her daughter, “Your father and uncle are back.”

“Uncle?” Lu Caizhen was puzzled.

Due to Lu Changsheng, she had many nominal uncles.

But Lu Caizhen knew that if it were an uncle from Qingzhu Mountain or elsewhere, her mother would certainly not be so happy.

“Come here and help Mother. You’ll know soon enough.”

Qu Zhenzhen asked her daughter to come and help, to show off her cooking skills to her uncle.

Although Bihu Mountain had the exotic treasure, the Five Qi Cauldron, which could directly cook second-grade spirit meals.

However, these spirit meals primarily excelled in nutrition, with only average color, aroma, and taste.

So, Qu Zhenzhen usually cooked herself and researched culinary skills.

Her daughter, Lu Caizhen, also became a second-grade spirit chef under her influence, understanding many spirit meal cooking techniques.

“Mother, the uncle you mentioned, it wouldn’t be the uncle I’ve never met before, would it?”

Although Lu Caizhen’s talent and ability were ordinary, belonging to a carefree Young Miss of the Lu Family, she wasn’t foolish.

She guessed that the uncle who could make her mother so happy could only be her mother’s biological elder brother.

But wasn’t this uncle said to have died outside long ago?

Even if he hadn’t died, more than a hundred years had passed, so he should have died of old age, right?

“Yes, it’s your biological uncle.”

Qu Zhenzhen told her daughter that her uncle had encountered danger and fallen off a cliff, but was rescued by a Great Cultivator and taken to Cultivate Immortality. Now that he had achieved success in Cultivation, he had come to Bihu Mountain to find her.

Lu Caizhen heard this bizarre experience and thought, ‘How is this like a storybook? Could someone be deliberately impersonating my uncle to swindle money from our family?’

Since Bihu Mountain became more and more prosperous, such things had not been uncommon.

For example, some people claimed to be distant relatives of Old Ancestor Lu’s concubines, or held children, claiming they were the Bloodline of a certain Lu Family disciple.

Even some female Cultivators, in dangerous situations, impersonated Chang Sheng Zhenren’s concubines, claiming they had had an encounter and a fleeting romance with Chang Sheng Zhenren, thereby damaging the reputation of the Tianfu Lu Family.

However, Chang Sheng Zhenren had many wives and concubines, and no one knew how many women he had encountered outside.

Therefore, when facing some beautiful women, out of consideration for the Tianfu Lu Family’s prestige, such words really had an effect.

However, considering that her father had returned and her mother was also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it would be difficult for someone to impersonate and deceive them and hide it from Bloodline sensing. Lu Caizhen congratulated her mother and was somewhat curious about the uncle she had never met.

The mother and daughter chatted while preparing the spirit meal.

When it was almost ready, they notified Lu Changsheng and Qu Changge to come for the meal.

This was a private banquet of the Qu Family, so there weren’t many people.

Only Lu Changsheng, Qu Changge, Qu Zhenzhen, and Lu Caizhen’s family.

“Father, greetings to Father-in-law.”

“Grandpa, Maternal Grandpa.”

Lu Caizhen and Hong Xuanji brought their children to greet Lu Changsheng, then looked at Qu Changge, who was wearing a dark cloud-patterned robe, beside him.

At this time, Qu Changge’s white hair had turned black and was tied up with a wooden hairpin, giving him a more refined appearance.

However, his handsome face was still somewhat cold and stiff, making him unapproachable.

“Caizhen, Xuanji, this is your uncle.” Qu Zhenzhen immediately introduced him to her daughter and son-in-law.

Hong Xuanji and Lu Caizhen had been married for over ninety years. Although it was a marriage, it was somewhat like marrying into the family, as he had always lived in Bihu Mountain, helping the Lu Family.

During this time, he was very respectful to his mother-in-law, Qu Zhenzhen, so she treated him like a half-son.

“Caizhen greets uncle, Xuanji greets uncle.” The couple bowed respectfully.

“Caizhen.”

Qu Changge looked at his niece, who had some resemblance to his sister’s eyebrows, and immediately felt a sense of closeness.

He couldn’t sense a Bloodline connection from those third- and fourth-generation members of the Lu Family.

But from Lu Caizhen in front of him, he could feel it.

This was the Bloodline bond!

Like Mortals, it was difficult to sense the deep-seated Bloodline bonds and kinship.

But when a Cultivator’s Cultivation Realm reached a certain level, they could clearly sense the close connection of Bloodline kinship.

However, seeing that his niece only had a Foundation Establishment Sixth Level Cultivation, Qu Changge couldn’t help but frown.

When he returned to visit his sister back then, he had seen Lu Caizhen.

At that time, she was already an adult.

According to her age, she was now at least one hundred and twenty years old.

With such a Cultivation, even if she broke through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, she would almost certainly have no chance of Core Formation.

“What is Lu Changsheng doing?”

Qu Changge’s dissatisfaction with Lu Changsheng deepened immediately.

He believed that the other party had mistreated his niece.

Otherwise, how could Lu Caizhen be only at Foundation Establishment Sixth Level at this age?

When he saw Hong Xuanji, whose hair was gray and white, twenty years older than his niece, he couldn’t help but frown even more.

Foundation Establishment First Level?

And his magical power was unstable.

He probably relied on secret techniques and external forces to break through to Foundation Establishment, and his potential was already exhausted.

How could Lu Changsheng find such a husband for his niece?

Qu Changge’s dissatisfaction with Lu Changsheng had reached its peak.

But now that his sister Qu Zhenzhen was by his side, and the whole family was happy, he couldn’t flare up.

With a smile, he handed the prepared Storage Pouch to his niece and said, “Caizhen, this is your meeting gift from uncle.”

“Xuanji, is it? Here, this is a small token of uncle’s appreciation.”

Although the Hong Xuanji in front of him was very displeasing to his eyes, he still bestowed a meeting gift.

“Thank you, uncle.” Hong Xuanji respectfully replied.

Soon after, the small Qu Family banquet began.

During this process, besides Qu Zhenzhen constantly making conversation, only Hong Xuanji was more proactive and knew how to liven up the atmosphere.

He spoke of how his mother-in-law often thought of her uncle, and how when he was young, he and his brother-in-law Lu Quanzhen worked together in the Mortal world, and he also inquired about his uncle’s information, and so on.

Although Qu Changge wasn’t exactly flattered by Hong Xuanji’s words, he could see that this nephew-in-law was very good at dealing with people and was quite liked by his sister and niece.

After eating and drinking to their fill, Qu Changge asked Lu Caizhen and Hong Xuanji to take him for a stroll around Bihu Mountain.

The two replied and began to introduce the situation of Bihu Mountain to Qu Changge.

“Xuanji, did you break through to Foundation Establishment by relying on external forces?”

At this moment, Qu Changge inquired about his nephew-in-law’s situation.

“Replying to uncle, Xuanji is incompetent. I failed my Foundation Establishment back then, and fortunately, with Brother Quanzhen’s help, I barely managed to break through to Foundation Establishment.”

Hong Xuanji respectfully said, with a hint of emotion in his heart.

Back then, with the help of his wife, he obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill.

His father, Hong Yi, immediately exhausted his family fortune to acquire Foundation Establishment spiritual materials for him.

However, he was still one step short and failed his Foundation Establishment.

After this, his ambition dissipated, but with the help of his elder brother-in-law, Lu Quanzhen, he successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment.

Although it belonged to a Shattered Foundation, his Cultivation was difficult to improve, placing him at the bottom, but he had also become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

“This won’t do. As a man, one still needs strength to support the family.”

Qu Changge said lightly.

“Uncle is right.” Hong Xuanji nodded in response, not explaining that his potential was exhausted and he couldn’t break through to Foundation Establishment Second Level.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll help you.”

Qu Changge felt that Lu Changsheng, as a father and father-in-law, didn’t care much, but he, as an uncle, couldn’t stand idly by.

With that, he gently raised his palm, and a giant hand covered in dark patterns, emanating thick Devilish Qi, with sword-like nails, appeared.

When this hand appeared, Lu Caizhen and Hong Xuanji both trembled, feeling an incredibly terrifying and daunting aura.

“Demonic Path Cultivator…” Hong Xuanji immediately realized that his wife’s uncle was likely a Demonic Path Cultivator.

The next moment, he seemed to hear a painful wailing scream, and then saw Qu Changge channeling countless pure, vast, mysterious, and boundless power into his body.

Although this power far exceeded what his body could bear and could easily burst his body.

Yet, under an irresistible force, it surged into his flesh, Meridians, Qi Sea Dantian, and Shattered Foundation, undergoing transformation.

“Uncle?” Lu Caizhen looked at this scene, her expression worried, not knowing what her uncle was doing to her husband, only feeling a terrifying and vast aura emanating from her uncle.

“Don’t worry, uncle is just helping him reconnect his Dao path.” Qu Changge said softly.

Hong Xuanji could clearly feel his Physical Body radiating vitality, his Meridians and Qi Sea Dantian condensing, and even his Shattered Foundation being repaired and becoming more solidified.

At the same time, his Cultivation Technique unconsciously began to circulate, seemingly about to break through to Foundation Establishment Second Level.

As his physical body and blood refined, the cracks in his Shattered Foundation decreased, and his cultivation broke through to the Basement Establishment Second Level.

“This…” Lu Caizhen, who was beside him, was completely stunned.

She knew that her husband’s Foundation Establishment was achieved with the help of her elder brother, and it was a Shattered Foundation among Shattered Foundations, with its potential already exhausted.

Therefore, even after decades of breaking through to Foundation Establishment, his cultivation was still at the Basement Establishment First Level.

But now, with the help of her uncle, he had directly broken through to the Basement Establishment Second Level, and there were no signs of stopping.

“This kind of improvement is not harmful to Hong Xuanji.” Qu Changge said to Lu Caizhen.

The Heaven And Earth Treasure he used to nourish and irrigate Hong Xuanji’s body was none other than the Nascent Soul Origin of Shihai True Lord.

The Nascent Soul Spirit Body Origin of a Nascent Soul Cultivator was incomparably precious, the most top-tier spiritual object, a great tonic.

Back then, Lu Changsheng had helped Chu Qingyi re-condense her Golden Core through a bit of Tianyuan Zhenjun’s Origin.

So, using such a Nascent Soul Origin to help Hong Xuanji, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator whose potential was exhausted, refine his physical body and repair his Foundation, was simply incomparably luxurious.

“Caizhen, Uncle will also help you.”

Qu Changge looked at his niece and said, preparing to help her raise her cultivation Realm.

Nascent Soul was too far away.

But helping his niece pave the way for Core Formation was no problem.

Lu Caizhen was a little apprehensive, feeling that such a method was too shocking.

At this moment, her father Lu Changsheng’s voice came from her mind.

“Caizhen, your uncle won’t harm you, rest assured.”

The commotion of Hong Xuanji’s improvement naturally couldn’t escape Lu Changsheng on Biyun Peak.

Or rather, he hadn’t completely trusted Qu Changge, his convenient brother-in-law.

His Taiyi Divine Soul was constantly monitoring the latter’s situation.

Seeing Qu Changge being so generous, expending the Nascent Soul Spirit Body Origin to help his daughter and son-in-law improve their cultivation and Foundation, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but be surprised.

Although this was someone else’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body, not burning his own Nascent Soul Origin, using it to help Hong Xuanji and Lu Caizhen, two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, was truly a waste of Heaven And Earth Treasure.

But it had to be said that this purified Nascent Soul Spirit Body Origin was the most top-tier spiritual object for a Cultivator.

“But is this showing off to me, or slapping my face?”

Lu Changsheng felt that Qu Changge’s actions were an expression of his dissatisfaction towards him, for neglecting his niece.

However, for his daughter Lu Caizhen to reach the Basement Establishment Sixth Level, it was already due to the care and assistance of him, her father, and Lu Quanzhen.

Otherwise, given Lu Caizhen’s pregnancy and childbirth, her responsibility for Family affairs, and her usual lack of diligence in cultivation, even if her Spiritual Root was upgraded to Fifth Grade with the Heaven Mending Pill, it would be difficult for her to have her current cultivation.

However, speaking of which, his attention and care for this daughter were indeed not very high, and he hadn’t poured all his resources into cultivating her.

Otherwise, no matter what, Lu Caizhen would have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

But he had been truly busy these past few years.

And he had only acquired a massive amount of resources in the past few years.

Before Nascent Soul, although he had a substantial fortune, it was far from this level, where he could cultivate his Family children without restrictions.

Old Ancestor Lu didn’t care at all about Qu Changge’s actions of expressing dissatisfaction and slapping his face, and even hoped that the other party would be even more ruthless.

With Qu Changge’s help, Hong Xuanji reached the Basement Establishment Third Level, and Lu Caizhen broke through to the Basement Establishment Seventh Level.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t continue to improve.

But rather, too much was as bad as too little.

Improving too much in a short period would exceed their physical limits, and they would need to digest and adapt to it.

“Alright, you two go back and rest first, stabilize yourselves, and Uncle will help you improve again in a few days.”

Qu Changge looked at his astonished and dazed niece and nephew-in-law, and said with a smile.

“Hong Xuanji thanks Uncle! For such kindness, Hong Xuanji has no way to repay it, but will engrave it deeply in his heart, take good care of Caizhen, and show filial respect to Uncle and Mother-in-law.”

Hong Xuanji immediately sobered up, knowing that he had received such great benefits entirely thanks to his wife Lu Caizhen’s good fortune, and immediately knelt down in gratitude.

He had originally exhausted his potential, making it difficult to break through in this life.

But now, not only had he broken through to the Basement Establishment Third Level, but his Foundation’s Jade Platform had also been repaired, allowing him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and even the Late Stage, in the future.

Moreover, this Uncle had said he would help them improve again in a few days.

This, this, this… Hong Xuanji felt like he was dreaming.

“Caizhen thanks Uncle.” Lu Caizhen also came to her senses as if from a dream, and quickly thanked him.

Then she asked with concern, “Uncle, will this kind of improvement cause you any loss?”

Normally, when helping someone improve their cultivation and break through, shouldn’t it be by consuming Spirit Pills or through medicinal baths?

Uncle just slapped out a palm, and countless vast and pure Origin surged into their bodies, just like the cultivation transmission described in storybooks.

“Don’t worry, it won’t affect Uncle. You two should go back and rest early.” Qu Changge said with a smile.

If it weren’t for his sister Qu Zhenzhen cultivating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, her cultivation wouldn’t need to be improved right now.

He even wanted to use the Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies of Wugu Old Demon and Shihai True Lord to nourish his sister’s natal spiritual plant.

“Thank you, Uncle, you should also rest early.” Lu Caizhen and Hong Xuanji bowed and excused themselves, still feeling as if they were dreaming.

“Caizhen, Uncle… What’s his background?” Hong Xuanji asked, his heart filled with shock, suddenly feeling that his brother-in-law Lu Quanzhen and this Uncle were somewhat similar.

Both of them seemed to cultivate the Demonic Path, possessing such methods to help others improve.

Moreover, he had once seen Lu Quanzhen’s ruthless and decisive side.

He felt that this Uncle, in his daily life, should also be a ruthless and decisive existence.

It was just that in front of them, he tried his best to appear gentle, but from the subtle expressions on his face, it could be seen that he was not good at smiling or being gentle.

“I don’t know either.” Lu Caizhen shook her head, more shocked than Hong Xuanji, and ran to ask her mother Qu Zhenzhen about her uncle’s background and situation.

However, Qu Zhenzhen also didn’t know, only knowing that her elder brother’s cultivation was very high, likely similar to her husband’s.

“What’s wrong?” Qu Zhenzhen asked.

Lu Caizhen immediately told her mother about Qu Changge helping her and her husband improve their cultivation.

“My brother is so powerful!” Qu Zhenzhen’s red lips parted slightly, also astonished by her brother’s cultivation methods.

She immediately went to ask her husband.

Lu Caizhen and Hong Xuanji returned to their small courtyard and opened the small gifts from Uncle Qu Changge.

Looking at the piled-up Heaven And Earth Treasure and Spirit Stones, the couple was once again surprised.

Was their uncle a Nascent Soul True Lord?

Otherwise, this meeting gift was too precious, already comparable to the entire fortune of a Core Formation True Person.

Hong Xuanji, who was beside her, was also stunned, thinking to himself what kind of good fortune his wife had.

His father, Chang Sheng Zhenren, was a famous Core Formation Immortal Master in Jiang Country, who single-handedly founded the Tianfu Lu Family.

His elder brother, Lu Quanzhen, although not well-known to the world, had already broken through to Core Formation.

Now, an uncle he had never met before appeared, and his meeting gift was resources worth millions of Spirit Stones, and he even helped his wife break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Even he had broken through from the Basement Establishment First Level to the Third Level.

Five days later, Lu Caizhen’s cultivation, with Qu Changge’s help, broke through to the Basement Establishment Ninth Level.

As several wisps of spiritual power surged into his Qi Sea Dantian, a System prompt sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind.

【Congratulations to the host for having fifteen descendants break through to the Basement Establishment Ninth Level, gaining one Advanced lottery chance!】

Lu Changsheng, who was chatting idly with his wife, raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking that his brother-in-law was indeed efficient enough.

It was a pity that his brother-in-law only valued his sister Qu Zhenzhen and his niece Lu Caizhen.

He didn’t care about the other Lu Family disciples, including Lu Caizhen and Hong Xuanji’s children.

Otherwise, Old Ancestor Lu hoped that his brother-in-law would help him elevate all the Lu Family disciples.

However, he couldn’t help but ponder whether he should use the Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies of Heavenly Silkworm True Lord or Thousand Blades True Lord to boost their growth.

Although this method was a waste of Heaven And Earth Treasure, from the perspective of effect and efficiency, it was indeed extraordinary.

However, considering that his top priority was to improve his combat power and that he could cultivate the Vatican Devil True Saint Art with the help of the Nascent Soul Spirit Body Origin, Old Ancestor Lu dispelled this notion of extravagant waste.

Moreover, he had gained a massive amount of resources from his trip to the Liang Country War, which was enough to cultivate his Family children and disciples, so there was no need to do such extravagant and wasteful things.

“System, lottery!”

Lu Changsheng had been in a very good mood these past few days, feeling that his luck would also be very good today, so he immediately chanted silently in his heart and directly performed the lottery.

【Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Dharma Seed: Peach Blossom Bloom!】

【The reward has been issued to the System space, and the host can view it at any time】

A pale pink halo, like a budding peach blossom pattern, appeared along with the System prompt.
