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

Chapter 134: Xiao Xiyue's Request

In the city of Ruyi County.

Inside the Lu family's residence, Myriad Manifestations Garden.

"Hoo hoo hoo--"

In the beautiful environment of the garden paved with blue stones, several martial artists were leading a group of children in martial arts practice and morning exercises.

Although these children were young, their movements were agile and nimble when they swung their fists and kicked.

Whenever there was a problem, the nearby martial artists would immediately correct it with meticulousness.

There were a few children around ten years old who seemed to have a faint gust of wind when they swung their fists and kicked.

Not far away, Lu Changsheng, dressed in a green robe with a dignified appearance, watched the children practicing martial arts with a gentle expression.

Now, these children were all starting to learn martial arts and strengthen their bodies under his arrangement.

Like his eldest son, Lu Ping'an, who had already cultivated internal energy.

According to the classification of martial arts in the secular world, which includes the non-elite, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, and Innate, he could already be considered a second-rate expert.

A twelve-year-old second-rate expert is not only rare, but also highly uncommon in the secular world.

Apart from a few naturally gifted individuals, only the descendants of cultivators can raise such children.

After all, they grew up in a place with spiritual veins, eating spiritual rice and spiritual food.

Their bodies were not contaminated with much impurity.

These children who practiced martial arts were all martial arts prodigies.

Moreover, even after sending these wives and children to the secular world, Lu Changsheng still regularly sent spiritual rice.

However, the strength of these second-rate experts in the martial world was still not recognized by the system.

Lu Changsheng checked his son Lu Ping'an's panel information through the system.

In the strength column, it still showed the word "none".

Lu Changsheng didn't pay much attention to this.

If in the early days, he had some thoughts of improving his own strength through his children's martial arts practice.

But now, he didn't have many thoughts in this regard.

More than anything, he hoped that his children would learn martial arts for self-defense and to strengthen their bodies.

"Daddy, how did I do in practice!"

After the morning exercises, Lu Wuyou, with a lively and adorable face, ran towards Lu Changsheng and asked.

Her eyes revealed admiration and dependence on her father.

"You're just good at being lazy."

Lu Changsheng smiled at her words and rubbed his daughter's little head.

Then, with a purification technique, he turned into a gentle breeze and dried his daughter's sweaty clothes, cleaning them.

Of course, he didn't show favoritism.

He did the same for all the children.

Seeing this scene, the nearby martial artists were filled with awe in their eyes.

"Alright, everyone is tired, let's go eat."

Lu Changsheng patted the heads of several children and took them to have breakfast.

The breakfast was very rich and nutritionally balanced.

After all, children are in their growing stage.

In this regard, Lu Changsheng never skimped, nor did he lack the money for it.

After finishing the meal, Lu Changsheng took several children, including Lu Ping'an, to the backyard to feed the Nine Nether Hounds.

After raising them for so many years, the Nine Nether Hounds have grown strong, like a big bull.

Their teeth are sharp and their black fur is shiny like silk.

Last year, the Nine Nether Hounds advanced to the mid-stage of the first rank demon beast.

However, for Lu Changsheng, it didn't mean much.

It was obviously impossible for the Nine Nether Hounds to carry him and take off.

Unless he spent a lot of resources to cultivate the Nine Nether Hounds and accelerate their growth.

But the cost was too high.

Although Lu Changsheng had a lot of money, he couldn't afford to spend it like that.

He planned to continue raising them slowly.

In the future, they would be treated as the spiritual beasts guarding his family, used to accompany and protect the children.

Six days later.

"Dad, Uncle Hong is here."

Lu Changsheng was chatting with his wives and children in the backyard when a little guy ran over and shouted.

"You guys keep playing, I'll go over."

Lu Changsheng guessed that it should be Han Lin, Xiao Xiyue, and Zhao Qingqing who had arrived.

After seeing Hong Yi, the latter indeed confirmed that Han Lin, Xiao Xiyue, and Zhao Qingqing had arrived and were outside the city.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded and went out of the city to meet them with Hong Yi.

The two of them arrived outside the city and immediately saw three figures.

It was indeed Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin.

Xiao Xiyue was dressed in a white dress, with long black hair cascading down to her waist.

Her stunning face hadn't changed much from ten years ago.

Bright eyes, white teeth, jade-like nose, and skin as smooth as jade, she was beautiful and charming.

But her overall appearance and temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to ten years ago.

Back then, she had a lively and innocent face.

Her face was adorned with a bright and charming smile, making people feel refreshed and have a good impression of her.

Now, Xiao Xiyue had a cold face and a temperament like a lofty and pure moon, serene and sacred, detached from the world.

People could only admire from afar and not dare to approach rashly, feeling disrespectful.

Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue's appearance and felt somewhat surprised.

He didn't know what she had experienced in these ten years and why she had changed so much.

Although her facial features were similar, it seemed like she had become a different person.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was with Zhao Qingqing and Han Lin, Lu Changsheng wouldn't dare to confirm that this person is Xiao Xiyue.

Zhao Qingqing and Han Lin, who were with Xiao Xiyue, apart from their faces looking a few years older and more mature, haven't changed much from ten years ago.

"Friend Xiao, friend Zhao, friend Han." Lu Changsheng didn't think much, showing a smile and bowing.

Hong Yi was also somewhat surprised by Xiao Xiyue's changes.

But he didn't look too closely.

With a cheerful and natural expression, he bowed and said, "Friends, I hope you've been well."

"Friend Hong, friend Lu."

Xiao Xiyue and the other two also nodded and greeted Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi.

They looked at Lu Changsheng's appearance and temperament, just like how Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi looked at Xiao Xiyue, both somewhat surprised.

Ten years had passed, and their appearances and temperaments had more or less changed.

Like Hong Yi, now wearing a luxurious purple brocade robe, with a purple gold crown on his head, and a beard on his lips.

Compared to ten years ago, the whole person seemed much more mature and stable.

But Lu Changsheng still looked like he was twenty years old.

His handsome and refined face still vaguely showed the contours of ten years ago.

But the whole person was even more clear and elegant, outstanding and otherworldly.

Looking at him, he was handsome and extraordinary, like a beautiful orchid or jade tree, giving people a refreshing and tranquil feeling.

If they didn't know Lu Changsheng's situation.

Based on Lu Changsheng's temperament and appearance, they would believe he was a core disciple of a sect or a descendant of a great cultivation family.

When Xiao Xiyue approached Lu Changsheng and saw him, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

Causing her heart to suddenly beat faster.

The cultivation of the "Supreme Forgetfulness Technique" involuntarily started to operate.

"What is this?"

Xiao Xiyue was slightly startled.

She sensed that when she saw Lu Changsheng, her moon-like state of mind was showing subtle ripples.

After cultivating the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, her heart was like a bright moon in the sky, undisturbed by emotions and trapped by feelings.

No matter what happened, it was difficult to move her or make her inner world fluctuate.

But at this moment, seeing Lu Changsheng, her state of mind unexpectedly trembled slightly, causing the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique to operate.

"Could it be that this is the opportunity, the turning point for my breakthrough?"

Xiao Xiyue's eyes were as cold and captivating as stars and a bright moon.

She had cultivated the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, and her cultivation had reached the stage of Qi Refinement Completion.

But because of her state of mind, she had been unable to break through.

Her master, Yun Wanshang, gave her three years.

Half of those three years had already passed.

She herself also realized that she couldn't break through on her own.

I must go out and practice in the mortal world, relying on external forces to break through.

This is also the purpose of her trip down the mountain to meet someone.

Thinking about the remaining year and a half, she plans to travel in the mortal world in all directions, searching for opportunities to break through.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she came down the mountain, she met an old friend, which made her heart tremble and automatically activate the "Forget Emotions" technique.

"Why haven't I seen Friend Li? Where did Friend Li go?"

Han Lin saw that only Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi were present, and asked.

"Friend Fei Yu went out for practice last year. Due to some delays, it's uncertain if he can make it back. Please forgive me on his behalf."

Lu Changsheng bowed and said.

"I didn't expect Friend Li to go out for practice."

Han Lin nodded slightly and didn't say much.

"Dear friends, you have traveled a long way. I have arranged everything at Ruyi Tower, just like the previous Immortal Gathering Pavilion."

Hong Yi said, leading the way.

Soon, the five of them chatted as they walked and arrived at Ruyi Tower, Immortal Gathering Pavilion.

"Please take a seat, everyone."

After everyone took their seats, Hong Yi smiled and brought out spiritual tea and fruits, pouring tea for everyone.

Compared to ten years ago, this gathering was obviously not as familiar and natural.

One reason was that their relationship back then was only average.

Now, after ten years without seeing each other, they only occasionally exchanged letters.

Another reason was that ten years ago, there were people on both sides who warmed up the atmosphere and led the conversation.

But now, Xiao Xiyue had a cold and ethereal expression, and hardly spoke.

And Lu Changsheng, Han Lin, and Zhao Qingqing were not talkative people to begin with, and they were also missing Li Fei Yu.

However, under Hong Yi's guidance, Lu Changsheng, Han Lin, and Zhao Qingqing actively sought out topics and gradually became more familiar and harmonious in their conversation.

During the process, Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing talked about some experiences in Qingyun Sect and major events in the cultivation world.

Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi talked about some worldly matters and things in the market.

During this time, Lu Changsheng also mentioned his younger brother-in-law, Xia Chaoyang.

Lu Changsheng didn't pay much attention to this younger brother-in-law.

He only occasionally heard from Xia Zhuyue about his brother's situation.

Sometimes he would send a few dozen spirit stones when Xia Zhuyue delivered a letter.

The number of spirit stones was not much, just a simple investment as a brother-in-law's goodwill.

"Xia Chaoyang, I have heard of him, but I didn't expect him to be a relative of Friend Changsheng."

Han Lin was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Although he was low-key in the Refining Hall of Qingyun Sect, he was quite well-informed.

Xia Chaoyang had a fourth-grade spiritual root and entered the inner sect. He was taken in as a disciple by a Foundation Building elder, so Han Lin knew about him.

At this point, everyone also talked about their recent situations.

Lu Changsheng learned that Han Lin had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

And Zhao Qingqing, not long ago, exchanged for a high-level Breaking Barrier Pill from the sect, and with the help of the pill, she has already broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

This cultivation strength made Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.

Truly worthy of being a disciple of the immortal sect.

Both Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing are outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

Usually, they are also occupied by secondary tasks and miscellaneous matters.

But in this situation, one is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the other has recently broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

It should be noted that Lu Miaoge, as the young lady of the Lu family in Qingzhu Mountain, with a fifth-grade spiritual root, only broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining at the age of twenty-nine.

As for Hong Yi and Li Feiyu, they have inferior spiritual roots.

One is still at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the other has only recently broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

As for himself, Lu Changsheng directly excluded himself.

After all, he has a handicap.

Externally, he also claims to have just recently broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"It's still Daoist Changsheng who lives freely, surrounded by a family of cultivators, marrying a wife and having children, and steadily improving both cultivation and talisman techniques," Han Lin said with emotion.

He was closest to Lu Changsheng at the beginning.

Although they have become unfamiliar over the years, there is still a sense of closeness.

"Hehe, I can't compare to you cultivators," Lu Changsheng waved his hand and smiled.

Then he looked at Xiao Xiyue, who had a cold and ethereal face, and asked, "I heard that Daoist Xiao was accepted as a disciple by a Foundation Building cultivator. I wonder how things are going?"

Lu Changsheng asked like this because he was curious about Xiao Xiyue's situation.

And also, he felt like Xiao Xiyue had been observing him all along.

"I have been cultivating in seclusion these years, and now I have reached the peak of Qi Refining. This trip down the mountain is also for experience, to find an opportunity to break through," Xiao Xiyue said softly, her voice cold and moving.

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be surprised and take a cold breath.

Reaching the peak of Qi Refining and looking for an opportunity to break through.

Obviously, she was looking for an opportunity to break through to Foundation Building.

Unexpectedly, only ten years had passed, and Xiao Xiyue had already cultivated to the peak of Qi Refining and was preparing for Foundation Building.

The gap between her and everyone else was like heaven and earth.

Not only Hong Yi, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin were surprised, but Lu Changsheng was also somewhat surprised.

But Lu Changsheng was more astonished.

He remembered that Xiao Xiyue only had a fourth-grade spiritual root.

A fourth-grade spiritual root, even in the immortal sect, it was impossible to cultivate so quickly.

"Could it be that Xiao Xiyue possesses some kind of spiritual body?" Lu Changsheng immediately speculated in his mind.

The reason for his speculation was simple.

Xiao Xiyue was accepted as a disciple by a Foundation Building cultivator.

If she only had a fourth-grade spiritual root, it was highly unlikely that she would be noticed and accepted as a disciple by a Foundation Building cultivator.

At most, she would be noticed and accepted as a disciple by a Foundation Building elder.

After all, in the entire Qingyun Sect, Foundation Building cultivators were few and far between.

If it weren't for extraordinary spiritual roots like Earth Spirit Root or Heaven Spirit Root, they wouldn't easily accept disciples.

"Or, could it be that she has cultivated a certain technique?" Lu Changsheng thought of another possibility.

He cultivated the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Technique and knew how much help a good technique could be to a cultivator.

If it weren't for this technique, which allowed him to refine the poison of the pill, ignore small bottlenecks, his cultivation speed would not have been so fast.

So he speculated that Xiao Xiyue might have also cultivated a technique like this.

But this technique had side effects.

He had read in ancient books that many powerful techniques had side effects.

For example, changing one's appearance, changing one's appearance, changing one's personality and temperament.

Xiao Xiyue's current appearance changes made him feel like this was the case.

Otherwise, how could there be such a big change in just ten years of cultivation?

But speculation was just speculation, and Lu Changsheng didn't ask much about it.

In the cultivation world, physique and cultivation techniques were highly secretive matters.

"Then I wish Daoist Xiao success in Foundation Building in advance!" Hong Yi immediately picked up his teacup and said with a sense of being separated by time.

When they participated in the sect assessment together, he had a crush on Xiao Xiyue.

Now, thirteen years had passed, and he had achieved some success in the mortal world.

But Foundation Building was still an unattainable term for him.

But now, Xiao Xiyue was already preparing for Foundation Building, which made him feel emotional.

"I also wish Senior Sister Xiao success in Foundation Building!"

Thinking of the teachings of my master.

Practicing the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, in order to truly achieve ruthlessness and forgetfulness, one must experience the tribulations of emotions in order to comprehend the meaning of the Supreme Forgetfulness.

Although she didn't know why, facing Lu Changsheng, she felt a tremor in her heart.

But a mysterious intuition told her that her breakthrough opportunity might lie with Lu Changsheng.

Thinking about her breakthrough opportunity falling on Lu Changsheng, and having to experience the tribulations of emotions with him, her heart felt confused and lost.

Over the years, she had been cultivating in the Qingyun Sect and didn't have much understanding of matters of the heart.

She had only read a little about it in books.

Moreover, after practicing the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, her heart became even more indifferent, almost forgetting about emotions.

Now, being asked to experience the tribulations of emotions, she truly didn't know where to start.

"I left the mountain just to find this opportunity."

"Now that the opportunity is right in front of me, why am I hesitating?"

Xiao Xiyue's chaotic heart instantly became resolute.

When she chose to practice the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, she knew it was a one-way path.

She understood that if she didn't have the mindset of "seeking the Dao in the morning and being able to die in the evening," she would struggle in her state of mind for the rest of her life, with no hope of achieving the Great Dao.

Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, she naturally couldn't miss it.

Moreover, through their conversation just now, she learned that Lu Changsheng had many wives and children, and had rich experiences in matters of the heart.

Perhaps that was the reason why her breakthrough opportunity fell on Lu Changsheng.

Soon, Xiao Xiyue also gradually spoke up and joined in the conversation with the others.

"Hong Dao Friend, Lu Dao Friend, practicing amidst the distractions of the mortal world will also affect your cultivation."

"If you can refine the distractions of the mortal world and purify your six senses, it will be helpful for your cultivation, state of mind, and breakthroughs."

When the topic turned to cultivation, Xiao Xiyue spoke up and gave some advice to the others.

She had received guidance from her Foundation Establishment master and the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique she practiced placed great emphasis on the state of mind, so she had many insights in this area.

"Thank you, Xiao Dao Friend, for your guidance."

Hong Yi was pleasantly surprised.

"Thank you, Xiao Dao Friend, for your guidance."

Lu Changsheng also slightly cupped his hands, understanding that this principle was similar to his initial thoughts.

"It's not really guidance, just some suggestions."

Although Xiao Xiyue's appearance was cold, like a fairy in the celestial palace, her words were not arrogant at all, very calm.

With Xiao Xiyue's participation, the atmosphere of the conversation became more harmonious.

Especially in terms of cultivation, the discussions about cultivation, with the insights from Xiao Xiyue, a Qi Refining stage fairy, often brought enlightenment and understanding.

This also made Lu Changsheng realize the importance of a "companion" in the path of cultivation.

In the long journey of cultivation, almost everyone would face difficulties and doubts.

If one were to work alone, it would be difficult to go far.

But having a renowned teacher and a group of like-minded companions to exchange ideas with would make things much better.

During the conversation, Xiao Xiyue also occasionally asked Lu Changsheng about daily life matters and questions.

This is also her purpose in engaging in conversation and participating in the topic.

From Lu Changsheng, she saw an opportunity for her own breakthrough.

But she couldn't directly bring up the matter of emotional entanglement and cultivation.

She needed to understand and observe Lu Changsheng's situation.

After all, emotional entanglement is something that, if not handled well, can harm oneself and others and affect others.

Although her emotions were gradually becoming indifferent, she would not become cold and heartless for the sake of cultivation.

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised by this question.

But when he heard Xiao Xiyue say that this trip down the mountain was mainly for tempering oneself in the mortal world, he didn't pay much attention.

After all, they had experienced many worldly matters.

While Xiao Xiyue and the other two had been practicing in the immortal sect and had little experience with daily trivial matters.

There is no feast that doesn't end.

As the sun set, everyone ended this gathering and bid farewell to each other.

Zhao Qingqing said she had tasks to do.

Han Lin was going home to visit his family.

"Friend Lu, this trip down the mountain, I want to travel the mortal world and seek opportunities."

"But I don't know much about the secular world and the cultivation world, and I don't have a destination in mind. Can you please accompany me for a while?"

Before parting, Xiao Xiyue didn't leave directly. She looked at Lu Changsheng and said.

She was dressed in white, as pure as snow, with a cold and peerless face, like a bright moon in the sky, calm and indifferent, with a hint of immortality.

"Huh?"

Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

But from their conversation just now, he also knew that Xiao Xiyue's purpose for this trip down the mountain was to temper herself in the mortal world and break through the Foundation Building stage.

In his opinion, this request was not unexpected.

"I usually travel between the secular Yiruyun County, Qingzhu Mountain, and the market. If Xiao Daoist friend doesn't have a destination in mind, I am willing to accompany Xiao Daoist friend on a journey."

Lu Changsheng pondered slightly and said.

As a disciple of the immortal sect and a disciple of the Foundation Building stage, Lu Changsheng naturally wanted to establish a good relationship and maintain this connection.

But in Lu Changsheng's view, traveling with him was not a troublesome matter, so he agreed without hesitation.

Whether it succeeds or not, it can be considered that the other party owes him a favor.

The favor of a disciple of the Foundation Building stage in the immortal sect can be considered a background relationship.

Especially since this immortal sect is the Qingyun Sect.

The Qingzhu Mountain where he is located is also under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect.

"Thank you, Friend Lu."

A hint of warmth appeared in Xiao Xiyue's cold eyes, like a blooming ephemeral flower.

"I have been in the mortal world all along and have some understanding of the cultivation world. Why didn't you come to me?"

Hong Yi, who was beside them, remained silent but couldn't help feeling a bit sour in his heart.
