Establish A Long-Lived Family From The Son-In-Law

Chapter 108: The Eternal Law, the Dream Immortal City!

"If I don't rely on talismans and charms, but only on my own strength, it won't be so easy to kill a Qi Refining stage cultivator," Lu Changsheng said calmly as he looked at the old man he had just killed.

"Pfft!"

A fireball appeared in his palm and shot towards the charred body of the old man, reducing it to ashes.

Then, Lu Changsheng reached out his hand and used his spiritual power to collect the old man's storage bag.

When Lu Changsheng returned to where he was, he saw Xia Long no longer in the air but resting on the ground.

He had been seriously injured before and had relied on secret techniques to suppress his injuries.

But under Yin Leizi's attack just now, his already severe injuries had worsened. He was covered in a deathly aura, as if his life force was about to extinguish.

"Cough, thank you, Lu Daoist friend, for saving my life. Please accept my gratitude," Xia Long said as he sat on the ground, coughing up black blood. He bowed slightly to Lu Changsheng.

Then, trembling, he took out two storage bags from his clothes and said, "Lu Daoist friend, now that I am about to die, what worries me the most is my two children in the mortal world. If possible, I hope you can take care of them for me."

"This is all my wealth, including a Foundation Building spiritual treasure and the opportunities I gained in the Purple Abyss Secret Realm. Consider it as a reward for you," Xia Long said weakly as he handed the storage bags to Lu Changsheng.

He was well aware of his current situation and knew that he was in a critical condition. Unless he had precious elixirs or a physician to save him, there was only a dead end for him.

He even worried that Lu Changsheng might be tempted by his wealth.

Instead of that, he decided to proactively offer everything he had.

He pleaded with Lu Changsheng to take care of his children.

Although he wasn't very familiar with Lu Changsheng, they had occasional contact and had done business together a few times.

Based on their previous interactions and Lu Changsheng's help, he felt that Lu Changsheng was a decent person, a true gentleman.

"Take care of my children?" Lu Changsheng frowned slightly upon hearing this.

He had heard Xia Long mention before that he had a family and two children in the mortal world.

He had been working so hard, hunting demonic beasts and exploring ancient ruins, not only to seek a chance at Foundation Building but also to pave the way for his son.

He didn't expect that even on the verge of death, Xia Long still cared about his children.

"Ah, Xia Daoist friend, why go through all this trouble?" Lu Changsheng sighed softly.

In his opinion, if Xia Long hadn't been so desperate, with his cultivation level, his living conditions would definitely not be bad.

"If Lu Daoist friend is unwilling, then forget it. Consider these things as a token of my gratitude for saving my life," Xia Long said.

Lu Changsheng listened to Xia Long's words and fell into deep thought.

Long Xia's pale face was filled with bitterness.

"Ah, the pitiful hearts of parents in the world."

Looking at Long Xia, who used to have a resolute and steady appearance, now pale and miserable, his eyes filled with pleading, Lu Changsheng sighed again.

"As a friend, I cannot refuse your dying request."

"But as you know, my own situation, Xia Xiong, I don't have the time to take care of others, so I can only send your ashes back home."

"If Xia Dao You have any last words to convey, I can pass them on for you."

Lu Changsheng spoke up.

He himself had so many children to raise and take care of.

Where would he find the time to take care of other people's children?

And he remembered that Long Xia had said that his children were not young anymore.

"Thank you, Lu Dao You!"

Upon hearing this, Long Xia felt a little disappointed.

But he also knew that this was only natural.

For Lu Changsheng to be willing to do this was already enough.

He immediately began to make arrangements for the future.

He told Lu Changsheng about his secular family situation and the things that needed to be taken care of.

He also mentioned that in the courtyard he rented in Jiulongfang Market, there was a set of first-grade high-quality formation called 'Heavenly Curtain Five Elements Formation', which had the effect of trapping enemies and isolating their aura. Lu Changsheng could take it when the time came.

Under a small tree in the courtyard, there was also a storage bag buried, containing three hundred spiritual stones for emergency use.

He hoped that Lu Changsheng could give these spiritual stones to his son.

After finishing the arrangements, Long Xia felt like a deflated balloon, closed his eyes, and fell to the ground weakly.

"Xia Xiong, you can rest assured, I will give these spiritual stones to your son."

Lu Changsheng looked at Long Xia's body in front of him and sighed softly.

A gentleman loves wealth and takes it in a proper way.

Although he didn't consider himself a true gentleman.

But in this situation, he would still send back the three hundred spiritual stones.

Just at that moment, Long Xia's eyes slightly opened again.

In a weak voice like a thread of air, he said, "My daughter is also waiting to be married. If Lu Dao You is willing, you can take her as a concubine."

After saying these words, he completely lost his breath.

"Ah, this friend Long Xia is truly focused on paving the way for his son."

"Even at the moment of death, he still worries about his son more, and even wants to marry his daughter to me, hoping that I can take care of her."

Lu Changsheng looked at Long Xia, shaking his head slightly with emotion.

Although Long Xia had a pair of children.

But just now, in the arrangements for after his death, most of it was about his own son.

He mentioned that his son will turn twelve next year and is expected to join the immortal sect.

He hopes that Lu Changsheng can give instructions on his behalf on how to handle things.

Even this last sentence, in Lu Changsheng's view, is also for the sake of this son.

However, Lu Changsheng doesn't feel it's appropriate to comment on such matters.

Looking at Xia Long's body and confirming his death, Lu Changsheng releases a fire spell and turns Xia Long into ashes.

Then he takes out a jade box, raises his hand slightly, and puts the ashes into the box.

"Just now, Xia Long mentioned the Purple Abyss Secret Realm. He came out from there and was ambushed."

"Now that the Purple Abyss Secret Realm has ended, I wonder if anyone from the Lu family has come out alive and gained anything from it."

Lu Changsheng thinks to himself.

Just now, Xia Long asked him to tell his son not to seek revenge.

Lu Changsheng also took the opportunity to ask about the situation in the Purple Abyss Secret Realm.

He learned that the mortality rate in the Purple Abyss Secret Realm this time was as high as sixty to seventy percent.

Xia Long originally entered with a team of six people, but in the end, only two came out.

One of them was the owner of the Little Talisman Hall that Lu Changsheng just saw.

On the way back, the owner of the Little Talisman Hall suddenly attacked him, which was the scene Lu Changsheng witnessed.

This makes Lu Changsheng can't help but sigh that money and power can move people's hearts.

At the same time, he worries about the situation of the Lu family.

Without thinking too much, Lu Changsheng finds the body of the young man just now and collects the storage bag containing his magical tools.

He also uses the Beast Control Card to summon the frightened Iron Feather Eagle and puts it into the spirit pet bag.

Taking out a Hundred Li Concealment Talisman, he leaves this place and finds a cave to start counting his gains.

"Hmm? The Eternal Life Technique?!"

"Stealing the vitality of heaven and earth and returning it to oneself!"

From Xia Long's storage bag, Lu Changsheng sees a jade slip that is emerald green. After checking its contents, he can't help but be amazed.

This jade slip records a cultivation technique called the "Eternal Life Technique".

It allows people to ignore their aptitude and as long as they cultivate step by step, they can reach the Foundation Building stage, the Nascent Soul stage, without any bottlenecks.

And during the Foundation Building stage, they have a lifespan of three hundred years, and during the Nascent Soul stage, they have a lifespan of eight hundred years.

Of course, while this technique is powerful, it also has an extremely demanding condition and a significant flaw.

Firstly, in order to cultivate this Eternal Life Technique, one needs to find a "Heaven and Earth Spirit Plant".

Then, this "Heaven and Earth Spirit Plant" needs to be refined into one's "Life Root"!

After that, this "Heaven and Earth Spirit Plant" needs to be planted and nurtured.

By relying on the "Heaven and Earth Spirit Plant" to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, one can nourish oneself endlessly.

The practitioner of this technique can ignore their own aptitude and cultivate without any bottlenecks, all the way to the Nascent Soul stage.

And their lifespan far surpasses that of cultivators of the same realm.

"To be considered a spiritual plant of heaven and earth, it must be at least a third-grade spiritual plant."

"To sustain a plant of this level, it must be grown under a second-grade spiritual vein."

"If you want to cultivate a third-grade spiritual plant and allow it to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and have endless vitality, it must be grown in a third-grade spiritual vein!"

"Moreover, once this spiritual plant is planted, in order to cultivate the 'Heaven and Earth Eternal Life Technique,' the cultivator cannot stray too far from the plant, essentially being bound to one place."

"Even if these harsh conditions are met and one successfully cultivates the 'Heaven and Earth Eternal Life Technique,' it is still extremely mediocre."

"Because this technique is solely for cultivating longevity, it abandons all offensive and defensive abilities."

"All spiritual energy is used to nourish the physical body and the divine soul, rendering oneself completely incapable of combat. Even if one breaks through the Foundation Building stage, their ability to fight head-on is only comparable to the Foundation Building stage. Breaking through the Nascent Soul stage is only comparable to the Core Formation stage."

Lu Changsheng looked at the cultivation technique recorded in this jade slip and couldn't help but shake his head.

This technique is truly heaven-defying.

It allows people to disregard their spiritual root aptitude and cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage without any bottlenecks.

And their lifespan is double that of cultivators of the same realm.

But the conditions for cultivation are extremely harsh.

And the flaws are very obvious.

Once cultivated, there is no method or ability to protect oneself.

"On the path of cultivation, there are numerous obstacles. Without defensive techniques and means of combat, even if one's lifespan is long, what use is it?"

"Sooner or later, they will end up with a destroyed body and extinguished dao."

"This 'Heaven and Earth Eternal Life Technique' is only suitable for the followers of powerful cultivators in the cultivation world, with someone to protect them, without the need to fight with others, content in their own pure land."

"Otherwise, ordinary cultivators attempting to cultivate this technique, just these harsh conditions alone are enough to make them give up, let alone succeed in cultivation."

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.

But in the next moment, Lu Changsheng's eyebrows raised as if he thought of something.

"Although this 'Heaven and Earth Eternal Life Technique' is not suitable for me."

"But it's quite suitable for people like Zhenzhen, Miaoyun, and even Xiaosi and the others in the future. They can also cultivate this 'Heaven and Earth Eternal Life Technique'."

"As long as I become a Core Formation True Immortal and a Nascent Soul True Monarch, I can provide them with the conditions for cultivation and give them their own pure land to cultivate this 'Heaven and Earth Eternal Life Technique'."

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of this.

For himself, with the system by his side, Lu Changsheng was confident that his future cultivation would be unimpeded.

But it would be difficult for his wives and children.

Qu Zhenzhen, with her eighth-grade spiritual root, has only broken through to the second level of Qi Refinement after so many years.

Although Lu Miaoyun has a seventh-grade spiritual root and had reached the fourth level of Qi Refinement when she married him.

But due to giving birth and taking care of the children, her cultivation progress has been very slow, and she is still at the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refinement.

It can be considered as almost giving up on cultivation.

As for Lu Xianzhi and Lu Quanzhen, these children,

Although they have spiritual roots, they are all low-grade spiritual roots.

Lu Changsheng does not think that he has the ability to cultivate these children one by one and help them achieve Foundation Building and Core Formation in the future.

Now that he has seen this "Heaven and Earth Eternal Life Technique," he can't help but feel that when he has the conditions, he can completely let his wives, concubines, and children cultivate this "Heaven and Earth Eternal Life Technique."

This way, their future cultivation path will also be much simpler.

And he doesn't need these wives, concubines, and children to come out and fight.

"This matter is still too far away for me at the moment."

"At least I have to wait until I become a Core Formation cultivator and have my own spiritual vein before I can do it."

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled, not thinking too much about this aspect.

It's too early to think about it now.

However, this Heaven and Earth Eternal Life Technique has also made him feel a sense of urgency in cultivation.

Then, Lu Changsheng continued to clean up the three people's storage bags.

After a long time.

The storage bags of the three people were cleaned up.

One thousand two hundred and fifty-six pieces of spiritual stones.

One Foundation Building spiritual object.

One top-grade magical weapon.

Four high-grade magical weapons.

Seven medium-grade magical weapons.

One first-grade medium-grade puppet.

Three first-grade low-grade puppets.

Over a hundred talismans.

Several elixirs.

Several spiritual plants and medicinal herbs!

"Xia Long and the owner of this small talisman hall should have gone to explore the secret realm and exchanged all the spiritual stones for elixirs, talismans, or treasures like the Yin Lei Zi."

"This is why they don't have many spiritual stones on them."

"But these magical weapons, talismans, puppets, and spiritual plant materials should also be worth several thousand spiritual stones."

After cleaning up the belongings of the three people, Lu Changsheng held a brocade box in his hand.

In the brocade box, there is a fist-sized fruit that is completely red, with blood-colored veins flowing on it, which is very mysterious.

"And with this Blood Yang Fruit, this Foundation Building spiritual object that breaks through the three levels of Foundation Building's 'Blood and Qi'."

"It also allows me to have all the Foundation Building spiritual objects for the three levels of Foundation Building."

"It's a pity that I don't have the main ingredient for the Foundation Building Pill, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, otherwise, my Foundation Building Pill would also have a solution."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Before, Lu Changsheng learned about this Foundation Building Pill.

Thinking that in the future, if he could obtain a second-order alchemy, he might be able to refine the Foundation Building Pill.

But after learning about it, he realized he was thinking too much.

This Foundation Building Pill is difficult to refine, indeed.

The most difficult part is the medicinal materials, especially the main ingredient, Tianling Fruit.

This Tianling Fruit can only be found in the Purple Abyss Secret Realm and is extremely rare elsewhere.

This is also why the Purple Abyss Secret Realm is controlled by several major sects, and the Foundation Building Pill rarely circulates.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng took a moment to recover and waited for the Iron Feather Eagle to recover before riding it back to Jiulongfang City.

He was ready to clean up Xia Long's things.

This time, he didn't use his original appearance and disguised himself as an ordinary and dull-looking young man.

According to Xia Long's description of the formation, Lu Changsheng entered Xia Long's home and collected the "Heavenly Canopy Five Elements Formation" in his courtyard.

This set of high-grade formations is also worth thousands of spirit stones.

Then, according to Xia Long's words, he dug out a storage bag from under a tree in the courtyard.

Inside were three hundred spirit stones.

Lu Changsheng also took a quick look inside the house.

He simply collected a few items belonging to Xia Long and brought them back as a keepsake for their wives, concubines, and children.

After finishing, Lu Changsheng left Jiulongfang City.

He did not go directly to Xia Long's secular family.

Instead, he went home first.

His sixtieth child was about to be born in about half a month.

Two days later, Lu Changsheng successfully returned to Qingzhu Mountain.

Through chatting with Lu Miaoyun, Lu Changsheng learned that Lu Yuanshan, who was sent by the Lu family to the Purple Abyss Secret Realm, had returned.

However, when he returned, he had lost an arm.

Of the two Lu family disciples who went with him, only Lu Miaokun returned.

Lu Miaofa, on the other hand, did not return and perished in the Purple Abyss Secret Realm.

As for the gains in the Purple Abyss Secret Realm, Lu Miaoyun was also unaware.

"If Lu Yuanshan didn't gain any Tianling Fruit in the Purple Abyss Secret Realm, this time the Lu family would suffer a great loss."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself after hearing this news.

For cultivators like Lu Yuanshan, their combat power will significantly decrease after losing an arm.

And with physical disabilities, it will affect the impact of Foundation Building, and there will be little chance of Foundation Building in the future.

And elite descendants like Lu Miaofa are also well-known in the entire Lu family.

They are the future core combat force, the seedlings of Foundation Building.

For the Lu family, losing one is a great loss.

Lu Changsheng didn't think much about these things.

He didn't have to worry about or care about these things.

He is now just waiting to see if the Lu family will have new Foundation Building cultivators born within the next two years.

If not, it means that Lu Yuanshan probably didn't gain anything in the Purple Yin Secret Realm.

Or, the Foundation Building cultivators that the Lu family is preparing to cultivate have failed to break through.

In the next few years, the possibility of giving birth to Foundation Building cultivators is also not high.

At the same time.

In the northern border of the Jiang Kingdom, in the Great Dream Marsh.

A girl with a beautiful face and wearing a purple dress controlled a flying artifact, then suddenly stopped.

In front of her was a towering and magnificent city, shining with spiritual light.

The city walls could not be seen to the end, only through the spiritual light, one could vaguely see layers of city walls, with mountain peak buildings inside.

Around the city gate, there were a large number of cultivators, flying on swords, piloting flying boats, or riding spirit beasts, dazzling the eyes.

There were even powerful cultivators flying in the air, indicating their identity as Foundation Building cultivators, making other cultivators consciously avoid them.

"Now that I have the main ingredient for Foundation Building pills, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit."

"The two missing auxiliary ingredients can be purchased in this Great Dream Immortal City."

"As long as all the materials are collected, this Great Dream Immortal City will have a second-level pill master who can refine Foundation Building pills."

"By then, I can ask him to refine Foundation Building pills for me!"

Meng Xiaochan descended from the flying artifact and walked towards the main gate of the city.

On the city gate, dozens of zhang high, were the four characters "Great Dream Immortal City" written in elegant calligraphy.

It made people involuntarily feel a sense of ancient and vast momentum.

"I heard that this Chen Ping, as long as he starts the furnace, can at least refine one Foundation Building pill."

"Under normal circumstances, he can usually refine two Foundation Building pills, and if he's lucky, he might even be able to refine three."

Meng Xiaochan thought about her Foundation Building pill soon finding a place.

At this moment, an image of a handsome and upright young man appeared in her mind.

"When he breaks through Foundation Building in the future, he will definitely need Foundation Building pills, right?"

"By then, if I give him a Foundation Building pill, he will surely be very happy."

"But if I want to give him a Foundation Building pill, what reason should I use?"

"From what I know, he is very fickle and has many wives and concubines. If I give him a Foundation Building pill, what if he proposes to me and wants me to be his Dao companion?"

Meng Xiaochan suddenly became hesitant, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"At that time, should I agree or not?"

"If I agree directly, would it be too fast and make me appear too unrestrained?"

Meng Xiaochan's heart beat faster, like a deer crashing around, and she couldn't help but cover her reddened cheeks with both hands.

Her mind was filled with various thoughts, imagining the scene at that time.

Then, in the next moment, Meng Xiaochan suddenly shivered.

A look of fear appeared in her eyes.

"No, I must break through Foundation Building as soon as possible, otherwise, the influence of the Love-Locking Gu on me will become more and more severe!"

Meng Xiaochan bit her lip with her silver teeth, pointed her finger at her brow, and her eyes showed determination.

Half a month later.

Lu Changsheng's sixtieth child was born.

"No gift money?"

When Lu Changsheng saw this child being born, but didn't hear the system's gift money, he felt a bit disappointed.

Previously, every time he had ten children, he would receive a lottery.

But now there was none, which made him feel a bit disappointed, as he had some expectations.

"Huh, if there's none, then there's none."

"After all, I have already guessed that I can't rely on spending money to have children and get rewards forever."

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh of relief and quickly felt at ease.

In this regard, he had long had psychological expectations.

He knew that this method of relying on having children to get rewards would eventually reach a limit.

When it reached this limit, he would have to focus on cultivating his children and improving himself in other ways.

"Now that relying on having children to get rewards is no longer feasible, it's time to focus on quality over quantity."

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart.

In these three years, he had directly given birth to nearly forty children.

More than the previous five years.

Apart from relying on the strategy of having a large number of children to try his luck, Lu Changsheng did not deny that he also had the idea of using money to have children and get rewards from the system.

Now that the difficulty of having children to get rewards has increased and the cost-effectiveness has decreased.

Lu Changsheng felt that he could slow down the speed a bit.

He would mainly focus on his wives who had spiritual roots to have children.

In these years, Lu Changsheng was quite satisfied with the probability of his wives giving birth to children with spiritual roots.

By doing this, he could also have more time and energy to focus on cultivation.

After all, frequently having children to a certain extent also affected his cultivation speed.
