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

Chapter 148: Ancestral Spirit Ground, Restoring the Dao Foundation!

"Now that I have achieved Foundation Building, I can consider establishing a family." Lu Changsheng's thoughts turned in his mind as he contemplated the idea of building a family.

In the cultivation world, the strength of Foundation Building is not particularly high. However, it is enough to establish a cultivation family and hold sway over an area. Once one reaches Foundation Building, they become the ancestor of the family, like the Lu family of Qingzhu Mountain and the surrounding families.

"To establish a cultivation family, the first thing we need is a spiritual vein blessed land."

"If we don't even have a spiritual ground, the idea of establishing a family is nothing but a fantasy."

Over the years, Lu Changsheng has also learned a lot about families and clans, and he knows a few general ways to obtain spiritual grounds.

The first method is the simplest and most direct: seizing and occupying someone else's spiritual ground.

This kind of thing is quite common in the cultivation world, but very few people choose to do so when establishing a family force.

One reason is that such actions can easily lead to future troubles if not handled properly.

Another reason is that seizing and occupying someone else's spiritual ground without reason or cause would greatly affect one's reputation and credibility.

And morally speaking, it cannot stand, easily attracting criticism and even robbery from other cultivators and forces.

After all.

As a lone individual, you can disregard the rules.

But if you choose to establish a family and have dependents, you must consider your own reputation and the reputation of your family.

If you continue to act without rules, being too domineering and causing a poor reputation, not only will it easily bring trouble, but other cultivators and family forces will also be unwilling to associate with you.

In the world of cultivation, most people who choose to establish family forces do so because they have no hope in cultivation.

They then shift their time and energy to cultivating their descendants, hoping for stable development of their family's foundation.

If they forcefully seize and occupy spiritual lands to establish family forces, causing a bad reputation, it will undoubtedly hinder the development of the family.

Just like when the Lu family joined forces with the Bai family to attack the Red Leaf Valley, it was considered a well-known move, with decades of grievances between the two families.

The Yu family and the Zheng family would also come to get a share, finding a reason or excuse on the surface.

Therefore, seizing and occupying other people's spiritual lands is not something Lu Changsheng considers.

He also cannot do something like seizing other people's spiritual lands for no reason.

Of course, if there is a family that doesn't know any better and provokes him, forcing him to take action, he doesn't mind doing so.

The second way to obtain spiritual lands is to explore and develop them on your own.

In the world of cultivating immortality, although spiritual veins are scarce, it is still possible to find some unclaimed spiritual veins.

However, most of these spiritual veins are located in unfavorable terrain and environments.

They are usually found in remote and bitterly cold places, or surrounded by numerous demonic beasts, making them very dangerous.

Therefore, if one is willing to invest time and effort, it is still possible to find a spiritual vein to develop and cultivate into a spiritual land.

However, this path is not something Lu Changsheng is considering.

Firstly, he already has a rough idea of the future development path for his family.

Through his puppets, talisman making, spirit slaughtering, and the skills he will acquire through subsequent lotteries, he plans to cultivate his children in the artisan field.

By having these skills, his family will have a stable source of income.

Therefore, he has certain requirements for the geographical environment.

If the environment is too remote, too poor, and there are too few cultivators in the surrounding markets, it will definitely be inconvenient for business.

Secondly, finding a suitable spiritual vein and developing it into a spiritual land requires a significant amount of time and energy.

It could take several years, or even decades.

Therefore, this path is completely out of consideration for Lu Changsheng.

The third option is to spend money to purchase or rent a spiritual land.

Some cultivating families, when facing decline or other circumstances, choose to sell their family's spiritual land to the public, partially selling and partially giving it away.

However, these spiritual lands are generally not very good.

If Lu Changsheng is willing, he can easily acquire a first-grade spiritual vein.

But cultivating a first-grade spiritual vein into a second-grade one requires too much time and resources, which is also not something Lu Changsheng is considering.

Large immortal sects like Tianjian Sect, Qingyun Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Yuling Sect have many second-grade spiritual vein training grounds with excellent environments and geographical locations.

These spiritual lands are used in part to establish cultivating markets and are also rented or sold to the public.

"If I could purchase a spiritual land under the jurisdiction of Qingyun Sect, it would be a good choice."

"However, most of these spiritual vein training grounds are only available for rent or lease, and very few are sold."

"Even if they are sold, not everyone is qualified to purchase them."

"Moreover, the price of a spiritual vein training ground is extremely high, which is not something I can afford at the moment."

Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly, not thinking too much about this aspect.

With his current status, it is not easy for him to build a family from scratch.

After all, a family is built through generations of accumulation.

He is not in a hurry to establish a family.

He plans to wait until his children are a little older before making a decision.

"The most urgent task at hand is to accumulate strength."

"In a few years, when the strength of the Foundation Building is reasonably displayed, then we can consider establishing a family."

"By that time, my hundred or so children will have grown up and can share my worries as an old father."

"Otherwise, even with a family spiritual land and the establishment of our own family, we will still face a shortage of manpower and have to personally handle everything."

Lu Changsheng was very clear in his heart.

Establishing a family and having a spiritual land are just basic conditions.

With a spiritual land, there should at least be a large family formation, right?

This kind of large-scale formation cannot be achieved with just a set of formation tools.

There must be formation masters to set it up.

Lu Changsheng really couldn't trust others to arrange the formation for his own family's large formation.

Moreover, this kind of large-scale formation, even if it's just an ordinary second-order formation, is very expensive.

With the protection of the formation, the veins of the land need to be sorted out, and spiritual fields and medicinal fields need to be cultivated.

Then, spiritual crops need to be planted, a puppet factory needs to be envisioned, and spiritual beasts need to be raised. All of this requires a large amount of financial investment and people to do it.

It is possible to recruit outsiders and servants to do the work.

But the core matters must be controlled by their own people.

Currently, apart from his wives and concubines, his eldest son Lu Ping'an is only thirteen years old.

And Lu Ping'an doesn't have spiritual roots, so there are many things he can't do. Only children with spiritual roots can do them.

Lu Changsheng was very clear about all of this.

He knew that establishing a family from scratch, whether it was the expenses, manpower, or energy, would be enormous and would require a long preparation.

Even with the system, it wouldn't be easy for one person to walk the path that others have taken for hundreds of years in just a few years or a dozen years.

But if it weren't for the Multiple Children, Multiple Blessings system and having so many children, Lu Changsheng wouldn't have had the idea of establishing a family.

After all, establishing a family is about planting trees for future generations to enjoy the shade.

In the early stages, it is completely thankless.

And most of the previous generations couldn't enjoy the benefits and conveniences of the family in their lifetime.

"But for me, as long as I get through the initial stage, it will be fine."

"After all, as long as the children are well, I will be a good old father."

"When the family is on the right track, passing down from generation to generation, I, as an old father and ancestor, can also live a leisurely life."

Lu Changsheng also understood that he was different from the previous generations who established families.

Most of them established families because they had no hope in cultivation.

But what he was focusing on was stability and long-term prospects, where every effort would be rewarded.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue beside him, and her eyelashes trembled slightly as her eyes slowly opened.

Immediately, he asked with concern, "Xiyue, you're awake."

"Changsheng."

Xiao Xiyue broke through the Foundation Building and completed her rebirth.

Her originally icy and jade-like skin seemed to have a faint moonlight flowing through it, making her appear even more pure and holy.

"First level of the Forget Love Technique, Cloud Without Love, Moon Without Love."

Xiao Xiyue looked at Lu Changsheng in front of her, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Originally, she thought that the cloud was the man and the moon was the woman.

The cloud and the moon were separated by millions of miles, and they had nothing to do with each other, so the cloud was without love, and the moon was also without love.

But her master Yun Wanshang told her that the clouds carried the moon's light and cast colorful shadows on the ground.

To the people on the ground, the moon was in the clouds, and the clouds gathered around the clouds, and the two depended on each other.

Therefore, to forget love, one must experience love.

But with the breakthrough of the Forget Love Technique, she had a new understanding.

The cloud and the moon intersected, the cloud surrounded the moon, and the moon shone on the cloud. The two were both close and distant.

One was cold and quiet, the other was elusive. Both were without feelings, so naturally the cloud was without love, and the moon was without love.

"I was wrong from the beginning, and so was my master."

Xiao Xiyue murmured in her heart.

When she and Lu Changsheng first started cultivating, both of them were without feelings.

That is, having desires without emotions, corresponding to the cloud without love and the moon without love.

But as they gradually cultivated, she gradually became entangled in it, having desires and emotions.

Although she was wrong, she also knew that in the end, to forget love, one must forget emotions and cut off these emotional threads.

So when she was with Lu Changsheng, she had desires and emotions.

When she was alone, she operated the Forget Love Technique, thus having no desires and no emotions.

It's just that when she was breaking through the Foundation Building, she ultimately couldn't cut off her emotions and achieve a state of no emotions.

But because Lu Changsheng was by her side, she had desires even when she had emotions, and in the end, she successfully broke through the Foundation Building, but her Dao Foundation was damaged.

"So what does the second level, Cloud With Love, Moon With Love, mean?"

Xiao Xiyue thought about the state of mind of the second level of the Forget Love Technique.

This was related to whether she could form a Nascent Soul.

Although her Dao Foundation was damaged and there were cracks, making it difficult for her to form a Nascent Soul.

But she couldn't give up on herself.

"Xiyue, how are you feeling? Is your body okay?"

Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue, who had just opened her eyes and was staring blankly, and asked.

"I'm fine," Xiao Xiyue shook her head gently.

She could feel that whenever she faced Lu Changsheng, her state of mind could never truly be calm and tranquil, like still water.

She raised her hand and summoned her moon-white undergarments, putting them on.

Even though they were already intimate, Xiao Xiyue felt a bit shy when she thought about the process of her breakthrough, which she had not yet shared with Lu Changsheng.

"Xiyue, since you're fine now, let me see if I can repair your foundation," Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue, her hair cascading down her waist and hips, the interplay of black and white, an innate ethereal beauty. He spoke without any pretense.

"Repair my foundation?" Xiao Xiyue looked at Lu Changsheng, still somewhat surprised.

After all, this kind of thing was truly astonishing.

"Yes, the foundation I condensed during Foundation Building is called the Yin-Yang Five Elements Foundation. This Yin-Yang Qi..." Lu Changsheng didn't hide anything and explained the effect of his foundation to Xiao Xiyue.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue's beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise, as if she was amazed by such a foundation.

At the same time, a blush appeared on her snowy cheeks.

She had read many books about Foundation Building and knew about many perfect foundations, but she had never heard of a foundation like Lu Changsheng's.

Not to mention that the effect of this foundation was too incredible.

Just the method of repairing the foundation, which required the two of them to cultivate together, made her feel like Lu Changsheng was deceiving her.

"Xiyue, don't you believe me?" Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue's silence, a hint of disbelief in his cold eyes. He immediately spoke.

"Of course, I believe you," Xiao Xiyue lightly pursed her lips, her radiant lips shining.

Although she said so, she still didn't fully believe in the effect of such a foundation.

But thinking about her imminent return to Qingyun Sect, she sighed softly in her heart and agreed to Lu Changsheng's proposal.

Lu Changsheng could also see that Xiao Xiyue still had some doubts.

He immediately wanted to prove with his actions that he, Lu Changsheng, was an upright gentleman and would not tell such lies just to satisfy his desires.

Then, a rustling sound accompanied by a clear and gentle moan filled the air.

A harmonious chapter of life began to play.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

The fairy's cool and holy face was now filled with a rosy glow, no longer as calm as water.

Her clear and bright eyes, like the moon, became somewhat hazy and elusive.

"Mmm~"

Suddenly, the fairy raised her head, her hair flying.

Her exquisitely flawless chin lifted, and her slender and graceful neck resembled a swan with folded wings.

Her moist lips emitted a pleasant and enchanting moan, and a trace of fragrant saliva flowed out.

"Hoo!"

As a surge of Yin-Yang Qi entered Xiao Xiyue's body, Lu Changsheng also let out a breath.

He embraced the fragrant and sweaty Xiao Xiyue and probed her body with his divine sense.

He checked how the Yin-Yang Qi was repairing and baptizing her foundation.

After all, he knew about this stuff in theory, but it was his first time trying it.

Moreover, Xiao Xiyue's situation was somewhat special.

He saw the Yin-Yang Qi transform into a Yin-Yang fish and enter Xiao Xiyue's Qi Sea Dantian.

Then, it circled around Xiao Xiyue's Taiyin Profound Moon Foundation.

During the process, a faint Yin-Yang Qi permeated the cracks in the foundation.

"Xiyue, how is it? Does it have any effect?" After looking for a while, Lu Changsheng asked Xiao Xiyue.

He could tell that the Yin-Yang Qi should be repairing and baptizing the foundation.

But there were no obvious changes in the cracks on the foundation, making it difficult for him to determine if the Yin-Yang Qi had any effect on the foundation.

Xiao Xiyue struggled a bit to support her weak and limp body, her fair and rosy jade skin.

Her delicate hand gently stroked her slightly swollen lower abdomen as she closed her eyes and felt the changes in her foundation.

At this moment, she could clearly feel that her foundation was indeed being repaired under the nourishment of this Yin-Yang Qi.

What surprised her even more was that this Yin-Yang Qi made her Taiyin Profound Moon Foundation resonate.

It gave her a faint feeling that if there was enough Yin-Yang Qi, her Taiyin Profound Moon Foundation would not only be repaired but also undergo some kind of transformation.

"Changsheng..."

The effect of this Yin-Yang Qi made Xiao Xiyue's heart tremble.

Her exquisite face lifted as she looked at Lu Changsheng, at a loss for words.

With a flawed Dao Heart and a damaged foundation, her heart was not at peace.

Now, seeing that her foundation could actually be repaired, and even further, her emotions couldn't help but surge.

"Xiyue, how is it? I didn't deceive you, did I?"

Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue's appearance and immediately knew that the Yin and Yang Qi had an effect.

With a slight hum, he slightly pinched Xuezi, feeling a little displeased.

He had seen it before, Xiao Xiyue didn't really believe that he could repair her Dao Foundation.

"Lu Lang, Xiyue was wrong."

Xiao Xiyue snorted, her eyes filled with moisture, leaning against Lu Changsheng's chest, speaking softly.

She seemed less cold and more fragile.

Normally, she could still keep her mind calm and undisturbed by emotions with the Tai Shang Forget Love Art.

But the dual cultivation just now almost rendered the Tai Shang Forget Love Art ineffective.

And she didn't suppress this emotion by activating the Tai Shang Forget Love Art.

She even prevented the Tai Shang Forget Love Art from automatically activating.

This made her feel as if she had vaguely understood the second layer of the Tai Shang Forget Love Art, the essence of "Clouds have emotions, the moon has emotions".

With the company of the clouds, the moon shines even brighter.

With the illumination of the moon, the clouds become more agile and elegant.

If she stood on the ground and looked up, seeing the two complementing each other, it would create a picturesque scene in the clear sky.

"It's good that you know you were wrong."

"Tell me about the effect of this."

"It probably takes several times to repair the cracks in your Dao Foundation."

Lu Changsheng observed through his divine sense and could tell that this kind of thing couldn't be repaired in just one or two attempts; it would require multiple treatments.

"Probably dozens of times."

Xiao Xiyue estimated a number with a slightly shy expression on her cheek.

Thinking of this number, it meant that she would have to cultivate with Lu Changsheng dozens of times, causing her to lower her head in embarrassment.

She had originally planned to return to Qingyun Sect.

But if she had to repair her Dao Foundation, how could she go back?

"Dozens of times."

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

His Yin and Yang Qi was not just pure magical power or essence of the human body.

After each consumption, it would take time to recover through cultivation.

For example, the Yin and Yang Qi he just consumed would probably take ten days or half a month to recover.

If it were Xiao Xiyue's Dao Platform, it would take fifty times to recover.

In other words, it would take one or two years.

For cultivators, one or two years to repair cracks in the Dao Platform was not considered long.

"Changsheng, your Yin and Yang Qi not only repairs the Dao Foundation, but also resonates with my Dao Foundation."

Xiao Xiyue continued speaking.

She mentioned the effect of the Yin and Yang Qi on her Dao Platform.

"Hmm, it has this effect too?"

Lu Changsheng was also surprised to hear this.

He didn't know that his Yin and Yang Qi had such an effect.

If his Yin and Yang Qi could further enhance a perfect Dao Foundation, that would be too incredible.

"Wait, could this effect be because when my Seven Luminaries Dao Foundation advanced to the Yin and Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation, it merged with your Taiyin Moon Essence?"

"After all, the Taiyin Moon Essence and Xiyue belong to the same source, which is why the Yin and Yang Qi has an additional effect on Xiyue's Dao Foundation."

Lu Changsheng speculated in his mind.

He felt that if it could further enhance a perfect Dao Foundation, it would be too incredible.

He immediately shared his speculation with Xiao Xiyue.

Xiao Xiyue was also surprised to hear this.

She didn't expect that Lu Changsheng's Yin and Yang Qi was formed by her Taiyin Moon Essence and the Great Sun Essence.

But she couldn't figure out this situation either.

After all, her understanding of the Dao Foundation was limited.

"Xiyue, how many times do you think your Dao Foundation will undergo a transformation?"

Lu Changsheng asked again.

"I don't know."

Xiao Xiyue shook her head gently.

She could only feel the resonance of the Yin and Yang Qi during the process of repairing her Dao Foundation.

It made her feel that her Dao Foundation would undergo some kind of change under the baptism of the Yin and Yang Qi.

"It's okay, as long as the effort is deep, even an iron pestle can be ground into a needle."

"Xiyue, rest assured, I will definitely repair your Dao Foundation and help you advance further."

Lu Changsheng's face was filled with deep affection, his tone becoming more sincere.

"Mmm~"

Under Lu Changsheng's actions, Xiao Xiyue raised her head slightly, her cheeks blushing, and she snorted softly.

"By the way, Xiyue, I have a cultivation technique that not only benefits cultivation, but might also be useful for repairing the Dao Foundation."

Lu Changsheng thought of his Endless Love Art and said to Xiao Xiyue.

He also wanted to test the other effect of his Dao Foundation.
