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

Chapter 139: One Hundred Thousand Spirit Stones, Xiao Xiyue's Transformation!

"Boom!"

The soul of the evil dragon engulfed the young man in the red robe, and a terrifying aura filled the air, causing the entire void to tremble and explode.

"Ah--"

A sharp cry rang out amidst the waves.

"Hoo!"

This strike caused Lu Changsheng's face to turn pale and his chest to ache. The red beads that clashed with the golden brick made him aware that the young man in the red robe had not completely died.

"Go!"

Lu Changsheng gave orders to the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, fearing that the opponent still had some strength left.

At the same time, he continued to control the golden brick with his mind.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that the power of the red beads resisting the golden brick had greatly diminished and was continuously falling.

It was evident that the situation of the young man in the red robe was extremely dire and difficult to withstand.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the golden brick continued to suppress the Red Luan Bead, a blood-colored light burst out from the soul of the evil dragon.

It was the young man in the red robe.

At this moment, his black armor was tattered, his hair was disheveled, and he looked extremely miserable.

"Wait for me, I will take revenge for this!"

The young man in the red robe uttered harsh words and was about to escape using a secret technique.

But before he could finish speaking, the towering golden brick in the sky came crashing down like a mountain.

"Poof!"

At the same time, a golden thread burst out like an arrow, piercing through his forehead and leaving a bloody hole.

It was the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.

In the next moment, the golden brick also came crashing down, suppressing both the Red Luan Bead and the young man in the red robe towards the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng held Xiao Xiyue's delicate body, controlled the flying artifact, and quickly descended.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, the golden brick directly suppressed the young man in the mountains, causing the ground to shake.

"Hoo, truly worthy of being a Foundation Building cultivator, difficult to kill!"

"My bone has been nurtured for many years, and it is no weaker than a full-powered talisman. Yet, he almost escaped."

Lu Changsheng could feel that under the attack of the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, the opponent's vitality was almost extinguished.

Just to be safe, he followed up with a strike from the golden brick.

Through the golden brick, he could sense that the young man in the red robe, who was suppressed below, had completely lost his vitality.

However, to be on the safe side, Lu Changsheng took out three high-grade talismans and one top-grade talisman, arranging them around the golden brick.

After finishing, Lu Changsheng's mind stirred slightly, causing the golden brick to slowly rise.

Seeing the mangled corpses in the big pit, Lu Changsheng finally felt relieved.

The golden brick, floating in the air like a small mountain, gradually shrank and returned to its original talismanic form, flying back into Lu Changsheng's hand.

But at this moment, this talismanic treasure was very dim, and even the talisman paper appeared somewhat damaged.

"This talismanic treasure is probably going to be completely scrapped after one more use," Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he looked at the dim golden brick in his hand.

This golden brick talismanic treasure had been used by him multiple times and had already consumed more than half of its power.

Although the battle just now didn't last long, it consumed a significant amount of his energy when he fully activated it.

"If this Foundation Building cultivator is a poor guy, I'll be at a loss with this move," Lu Changsheng looked at the mangled bodies in the pit caused by the golden brick and let out a sigh.

However, this possibility was unlikely.

Just the red bead, the small white sword, and the blood-colored scissors were already quite valuable.

Lu Changsheng didn't think too much about it to avoid attracting attention due to the commotion from the battle just now.

Holding Xiao Xiyue's delicate body, he collected the mangled body of the young man in the red robe and the scattered treasures around, then quickly left.

Half an hour later, Lu Changsheng found a cave in the mountains.

He put Xiao Xiyue down from his embrace.

He took out the "Heavenly Curtain Five Elements Formation" from his storage bag and set it up. This formation was very useful for trapping enemies and isolating their aura, and Lu Changsheng always carried it with him.

After setting up the formation, Lu Changsheng took out a healing pill from his storage bag and used a healing talisman on himself, feeling much better.

Then, he checked Xiao Xiyue's condition.

It seemed that her spiritual consciousness was damaged and her spiritual energy was depleted, but there was no major problem.

After a preliminary assessment, Lu Changsheng fed her a healing pill and used a healing talisman on her.

Immediately, he saw her pale face improve significantly.

"The biggest difference between the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Building stage is not only the qualitative change in spiritual energy and mana, but also the spiritual consciousness," Lu Changsheng said.

"Foundation Building cultivators are born with spiritual consciousness, which provides great convenience in both combat and cultivation."

"If it weren't for the Peach Blossom Gu protecting me from the spiritual consciousness attack just now, I might have suffered the same damage as Xiao Xiyue."

Looking at Xiao Xiyue's appearance, Lu Changsheng realized the most difficult aspect of dealing with a Foundation Building cultivator in the Qi Refining stage.

Even if you have talismanic treasures, you can't defend against such spiritual consciousness attacks.

If it weren't for the Peach Blossom Gu, he might have been affected as well.

However, Lu Changsheng also just realized that the Peach Blossom Gu had this effect.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng closed his eyes and examined the condition of the Peach Blossom Gu in his brow.

It was a bit withered, but there was no major problem.

This is normal.

After all, it is the Heavenly Spirit Gu.

Moreover, the Peach Blossom Gu grows very quickly.

Under his flourishing peach blossom luck, it has already grown to the limit of the first transformation.

If it weren't for Lu Changsheng's cultivation restricting him, he could have already advanced to the second transformation.

Seeing that Xiao Xiyue couldn't wake up for a while, Lu Changsheng also took off the storage bag and storage belt of the red-robed youth.

He began to clean up the spoils of this battle.

"I hope it can give me a strong backlash of blood."

Lu Changsheng looked at the storage belt and storage bag, feeling somewhat hopeful.

After all, the red-robed youth didn't seem like an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator.

He shouldn't be too poor, I suppose.

"Buzzing—"

At this moment, the six-winged golden silkworm beside Lu Changsheng flew around him.

Its wings, thin as cicada wings, fluttered, emitting a bloodthirsty aura.

"Go."

Lu Changsheng naturally understood what the six-winged golden silkworm meant and chuckled.

He didn't burn the red-robed youth to ashes, but left it to the six-winged golden silkworm.

After all, this six-winged golden silkworm feeds on blood.

As a Foundation Building cultivator, the red-robed youth's refined blood is naturally a great supplement for the six-winged golden silkworm.

With Lu Changsheng's permission, the six-winged golden silkworm immediately burrowed into the red-robed youth's body and began to feast.

"Isn't this a bit of a demonic act?"

Lu Changsheng looked at the behavior of the six-winged golden silkworm and licked his lips.

Then he shook his head and said, "But it's just the use of resources. Even if I don't feed the six-winged golden silkworm, it would still burn to ashes."

"And besides, this is far from being demonic."

"Before, I read in a book that some demonic cultivators use all living beings, whether they are humans, demonic beasts, or any other usable resources, for cultivation."

"Human skin books, bone swords, flesh pools, ten thousand soul banners, and even human desires and resentments can be used for cultivation."

Lu Changsheng sighed in admiration.

He had roughly read about the difference between the righteous path and the demonic path in the book before.

Although the introduction was not very detailed, he had a general idea.

It means that demonic cultivators, in order to cultivate, are more extreme in both their techniques and behavior, and not very humane.

As a result, there will be some differences in cultivation speed and breakthroughs in realms.

But overall, there is not much difference between righteous cultivators and demonic cultivators.

"My cheap eldest uncle seems to have embarked on the demonic path. I don't know what his situation is now, whether he is still alive."

Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered his wife Qu Zhenzhen's older brother, Qu Changge.

I wonder how my cheap eldest uncle, who ventured into the demonic path, has been all these years.

After all, it's not easy to survive as a demonic cultivator in the Jiang Kingdom.

Without further ado, Lu Changsheng checked his storage belt.

"So many spirit stones and materials!?"

Lu Changsheng immediately saw a pile of spirit stones and materials inside, showing a look of surprise.

Even though he didn't count them in detail, he could tell at a glance that this pile of spirit stones was not a small amount.

There were also many translucent medium-grade spirit stones inside.

"Hmm, what's this?"

Lu Changsheng looked at a crystal bottle.

Inside was half a bottle of reddish gravel-like crystals, resembling glass.

Just by looking at this jade-like bottle and the appearance of the crystals, Lu Changsheng could tell that it was not an ordinary item.

Upon opening the bottle, he immediately felt a strong and scorching heat.

Each crystal gravel emitted a precious light.

"Why does it resemble the Foundation Building spirit object mentioned in the book, Heavenly Fire Lustrous Glass?"

"If this thing is really the Foundation Building spirit object, Heavenly Fire Lustrous Glass, it would be worth at least thirty to forty thousand spirit stones."

Lu Changsheng looked at the crystal bottle with a smile on his face and put it into his storage bag.

For ordinary Foundation Building spirit objects, they would cost two to three thousand spirit stones each.

But for Foundation Building spirit objects, the price would increase by more than ten times.

And they were priceless!

Lu Changsheng continued to clean up.

When he saw ordinary materials and magical tools, his heart didn't fluctuate much.

"The Red Phoenix True Scripture, a side-door level cultivation technique."

"It seems there are some good things after all, unexpectedly there's a side-door level cultivation technique."

"But the cultivation technique is incomplete, it can only be cultivated up to the Foundation Building stage. However, the two secret techniques inside can be studied later."

Lu Changsheng found several jade slips of cultivation techniques from his storage belt.

After a rough look, they were several advanced cultivation techniques and immortal arts inheritances.

Only this Red Phoenix True Scripture piqued Lu Changsheng's interest.

"Is this a treasure embryo?"

Lu Changsheng saw another small cauldron that was black and red all over, holding it in his hand to examine.

This small cauldron only had a cauldron-shaped outline.

Whether it was the appearance or the patterns, they had not been carved yet, resembling a rough embryo.

But from examining the material of the small cauldron and the aura it emitted, even someone as experienced as Lu Changsheng could vaguely feel that it was a treasure.

However, compared to the Black Dragon Magic Pearl, this kind of treasure was far inferior, immediately making Lu Changsheng speculate that it was a treasure embryo.

As far as Lu Changsheng knew, most cultivators' lifebound treasures were refined by themselves using some rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Then they would be forged into embryos, slowly nurtured and cultivated, and eventually become treasures.

This has one advantage, which is to allow the ability to control the prototype of a magic weapon in the later stage of Foundation Building.

And by nurturing the prototype of the magic weapon in advance, once the Golden Core is formed, it can directly shape the magic weapon, greatly increasing its power.

"Could this young man in the red robe be a cultivator in the later stage of Foundation Building?"

"Otherwise, why would he have both a Golden Core spiritual object and an embryo of a magic weapon?"

Lu Changsheng glanced at the body being drained of blood by the Six-Winged Golden Cicada and speculated in his heart.

After all, how could an ordinary cultivator in the Foundation Building stage possess such precious items?

However, through the process of clearing the spoils of war, Lu Changsheng also felt somewhat fortunate.

Because he also found six second-grade high-quality talismans, as well as treasures such as the Thunder Child and the Bone Arrow, from the storage bag of the young man in the red robe.

He knew that the latter actually had quite a few hidden cards.

If he had gone all out to kill him and Xiao Xiyue from the beginning, he and Xiao Xiyue would have had no chance to fight back.

There would have been no time to use a talisman to suppress him.

"It's still the same principle, when a lion hunts a rabbit, it must go all out."

"Otherwise, who knows when they might capsize in the gutter."

Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly and sighed.

He put away the small cauldron and continued to clean up.

Even though this cauldron was only an embryo of a magic weapon, it didn't have much effect on him.

It was just a valuable material.

Apart from selling it later depending on the situation, it could also be used to cultivate the Hundred Refining Body Technique.

After all, an embryo of a magic weapon could also be considered a magic weapon.

It could be used to refine the body.

In the subsequent cleaning process, there were no high-value items that surprised Lu Changsheng.

"128 medium-grade spirit stones."

"3,894 low-grade spirit stones."

"One suspected Golden Core spiritual object, one Foundation Building spiritual object."

"One embryo of a magic weapon, four spiritual tools, but one is worn out and one is severely damaged, basically useless, can only be used as waste material for cultivating the Hundred Refining Body Technique."

"Two high-grade magic weapons, three top-grade magic weapons, one flying boat, one Thunder Child, one first-grade Longevity Pill."

"Plus this pile of elixirs, talismans, and materials, the total value is probably close to 100,000 spirit stones, right?"

After cleaning up everything, Lu Changsheng looked at this wave of spoils of war, roughly calculated the value, and took a deep breath, exhaling heavily.

This wave of spoils of war could be said to be his biggest gain ever.

Previously, the biggest gain was when he obtained the five villains of the Kou family, plus the two Foundation Building spiritual objects of Meng Xiaochan, which added up to over 10,000 spirit stones.

And now, the gains of this young man in the red robe alone amounted to a staggering 100,000.

This wealth made Lu Changsheng even more aware that this person was not simple.

"From the situation just now, he should have come for Xiao Xiyue, wanting to capture her alive."

Lu Changsheng looked at the still unconscious Xiao Xiyue and licked his lips.

He felt that this matter was not simple.

You see, Xiao Xiyue is a disciple of the Foundation Building stage in the Qingyun Sect.

Now, a Foundation Building cultivator has come to capture Xiao Xiyue, knowing her true identity. This makes him feel that things are not simple.

"Ah, it seems that there are many entanglements, and therefore many causes and effects."

Lu Changsheng shook his head and put away the things. Then, he took out seven middle-grade spirit stones and replaced them for his puppet.

In the recent battle, this second-tier puppet was not damaged. However, the consumption of spirit stones was too great. About seven out of the ten spirit stones inside were consumed.

"After returning from this trip, if I have time, I can make a few more puppets."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

With the materials he obtained, he could almost make a second-tier puppet.

But in the next moment, Lu Changsheng shook his head.

"The most urgent matter is still cultivation. Otherwise, with my current mental power, even if I have multiple puppets, I won't be able to control them at the same time."

In the recent battle, Lu Changsheng also realized his shortcomings in this aspect.

Operating one puppet during a fight was already the limit.

If he had to control multiple puppets, he would find it difficult to do anything else.

"Most mental cultivation techniques require the birth of divine consciousness."

"This is not something that can be rushed. Unless the system can draw such a technique."

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh and took two low-grade spirit stones, starting to meditate and recover from his injuries.

The next day, Lu Changsheng looked at the still unconscious Xiao Xiyue.

Seeing that the effect of the healing talisman on her body had almost dissipated, he took out another one to use.

As the talisman flowed through Xiao Xiyue's body like lotus dew, she woke up with a soft sound.

"Xiao Daoist friend, you're awake?"

Seeing Xiao Xiyue wake up, Lu Changsheng immediately asked with concern.

"Lu Daoist friend?"

"Where are we? What about that robber cultivator?"

Xiao Xiyue sat up and looked at the crude cave she was in, asking.

She didn't know if she had escaped or if she had been captured by the red-robed youth.

"With the two treasures of yours and mine, that robber cultivator was pushed to his limits. I used all my trump cards and barely managed to kill him."

Lu Changsheng sighed, feeling a bit sorry and scared.

Saying that, he returned Xiao Xiyue's turtle shell, sword pill, cloud veil, and treasures.

Although he was greedy, he wasn't so greedy as to take away these things from his own child's mother.

"You actually killed him!"

Xiao Xiyue was somewhat incredulous.

In their brief confrontation earlier, she knew that the red-robed youth was not an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator.

At the very least, he had the cultivation of the mid-stage Foundation Building.

Although Lu Changsheng and I were able to suppress him with the power of the talisman, suppressing and killing are completely different concepts.

She was stunned for a moment.

Then her pale cheeks revealed a smile that was different from her usual coldness, like a blooming snow lotus. "I didn't expect Brother Lu to hide so deeply."

She knew that Lu Changsheng was hiding something.

But when she saw the second-stage puppet, the talisman, and Lu Changsheng's cultivation, she was already extremely surprised.

She didn't expect Lu Changsheng to hide so deeply.

Now, hearing that Lu Changsheng had killed the red-robed youth, it gave her a new understanding of Lu Changsheng.

Seeing Lu Changsheng furrow his brows slightly.

Xiao Xiyue seemed to understand something.

She pursed her lips and said, "Brother Lu, rest assured, every cultivator has their own secrets."

"When we were in the Yijun City, Xiyue already sensed that you were different from ordinary cultivators, and you must have some fortuitous secret."

"So you can rest assured, Xiyue can swear with her Dao heart that she will never reveal anything about Brother Lu to anyone."

Xiao Xiyue was a smart person to begin with, and practicing the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique made her Dao heart clear.

After finishing her words, she immediately made a vow, indicating that she would not mention this matter to anyone.

"Xiao Xiyue, there's no need for that, the situation is not that serious."

Lu Changsheng smiled, very satisfied with Xiao Xiyue's thoughtfulness.

After all, exposing the talisman and cultivation level like this still carried some risks.

He originally thought about how to hint to Xiao Xiyue, but he didn't expect her to bring it up directly.

"If it weren't for Brother Lu, Xiyue would have been in danger."

"Before, Brother Lu helped Xiyue in her cultivation, and now he risked his life to save her. Although he used his trump card to kill the calamity cultivator, he must have suffered some losses himself. Xiyue really doesn't know how to repay him."

Xiao Xiyue lowered her eyes and said softly.

During the battle with the calamity cultivator, an inexplicable emotion arose in her heart.

At this moment, this emotion was rapidly sprouting in her heart.

She didn't even activate the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique to suppress this emotion, letting it fill her heart.

"Hehe, Xiao Xiyue, you're being too polite."

"The situation at that time made it difficult for me to abandon you and leave."

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, also noticing the change in Xiao Xiyue's expression.

After such a long time of contact, he knew that Xiao Xiyue's cold and ethereal appearance would disappear when she was cultivating.

Once she stopped cultivating, she would quickly return to her cold and ethereal appearance.

But at this moment, Xiao Xiyue's appearance was completely different from usual.

It reminded Lu Changsheng of the lively, sincere, and beautiful Xiao Xiyue from ten years ago.

Moreover, he keenly noticed that Xiao Xiyue's self-address had changed to "Xiyue".

Obviously, she had become closer to him.

Knowing that experiencing life and death situations and saving a damsel in distress were the best ways to improve one's favorability.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xiyue, with her exquisite and beautiful but somewhat pale face, took the initiative to approach him.

Lu Changsheng immediately felt a warm and sweet fragrance between their lips.

He also smelled a refreshing and fragrant scent in the air.

Immediately, the two of them kissed each other.

This time, the fairy was very proactive.

Allowing Lu Changsheng to taste a different flavor.

After a while, Lu Changsheng released the warm and fragrant beauty in his arms.

After all, it was not good to let the fire rise in the wilderness.

And there was still one thing to solve now.

The red-robed youth clearly came for Xiao Xiyue, and he wondered if there were any other troubles waiting for them.

"Xiao Xiyue, that calamity cultivator obviously came for you, in this situation..."

Lu Changsheng voiced his thoughts.

"He must have come for me, wanting to capture me to target my master."

Xiao Xiyue nodded with a thoughtful expression, realizing this problem as well.

"We shouldn't delay, Xiyue is going back to report this to my master."

"Cultivation matters will have to be put on hold for now. After I finish dealing with this matter, I will come to Qingzhu Mountain to find Brother Lu."

Xiao Xiyue pursed her lips and said softly.

She also knew that her current situation was very dangerous.

And being with Lu Changsheng not only put herself in danger, but might also involve Lu Changsheng.

Next time they encounter such a situation, they might not be so lucky.

"Alright, do you need me to accompany you?"

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He felt that in such a situation, it was natural to find someone to rely on.

"Xiao Xiyue, you can go back by yourself."

"Brother Lu, are you preparing for Foundation Building?"

Xiao Xiyue asked.

"I still need a few more years to polish myself before I can prepare for Foundation Building."

At this time, Lu Changsheng didn't hide it too much.

He had just broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining less than a year ago, and it would take several years of refining his spiritual power before he could prepare for Foundation Building.

"Okay, after Xiyue finishes dealing with this matter, I will come back to assist Brother Lu in Foundation Building."

Xiao Xiyue smiled, her enchanting voice carrying a hint of sweetness. After speaking, she kissed Lu Changsheng again.

Ah, I'm useless. It's so difficult to finish two updates. (End of this chapter)
