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

Chapter 216: Meng Xiaochan: Master, it's the Love-Locking Gu

The moonlight was frosty, and a gentle breeze blew.

On top of Lingtan Mountain, there was a peaceful silence.

Only the nearby pine trees swayed gently, making a rustling sound.

But this sound carried a hint of desolation and melancholy.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

Nangong Mili slowly opened her eyes.

When she faced Lu Changsheng earlier, her heart was pounding and restless.

Feelings of love, killing intent, tenderness, anger, bitterness, and more surged within her, making it impossible for her to face Lu Changsheng directly.

Her whole body and mind were like being submerged by the tide, making it difficult for her to extricate herself.

Now, as Lu Changsheng left, her heart gradually calmed down.

"Xiaochan, tell me, what's going on between you and that dog Lu Changsheng?" Nangong Mili looked at her disciple with a complex expression and spoke.

"Master."

When Meng Xiaochan heard her master's words, her face turned pale.

She knew that her master had already realized the situation with the Love-Locking Gu.

She clenched her teeth tightly, almost biting her lip until it bled. Her delicate body trembled, and she couldn't speak.

"Ah!"

Nangong Mili quietly watched her disciple.

Seeing Meng Xiaochan's appearance, she let out a deep sigh.

She was already certain that Lu Changsheng had a problem.

Her feelings for Lu Changsheng must have been manipulated by some means.

And Meng Xiaochan should know what happened.

But she had also been influenced by Lu Changsheng.

And the influence was much deeper than her own.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have shown such a posture.

"Recover well."

Nangong Mili looked at her disciple, didn't say anything, and closed her eyes again.

Meng Xiaochan saw a fleeting disappointment in her master's eyes.

Her heart was instantly twisted, and she bit her lip tightly, even biting it until it bled.

Her tender heart trembled continuously as she struggled between her master and Lu Changsheng.

In the end, she spat out a mouthful of blood, her face pale as paper, and said a sentence.

"Master, it's the Love-Locking Gu."

In the night sky, a spiritual boat flew under the moonlight.

A man and a woman stood on the boat.

The man had a handsome face, a tall figure, and wore a long green robe, giving off an otherworldly aura.

Like a beautiful orchid or a towering mountain, he was awe-inspiring.

The woman had a beautiful face, her hair tied up, and she wore a light blue dress, exuding elegance and grace.

Her face was pale and bloodless, making her look plump and delicate.

But her beautiful eyes were like autumn water, bright and spirited. Anyone who saw her would not underestimate her.

"Husband."

Ling Zixiao noticed that Lu Changsheng was a little troubled at the moment, so she gently held his hand.

Although she didn't know what was going on between Lu Changsheng and Nangong Mili, she knew that Lu Changsheng was troubled by this matter.

"Could it be that you have fallen in love with Nangong Mili?" Ling Zixiao speculated in her heart.

Apart from this reason, she couldn't think of any other reason why Lu Changsheng would have such a change towards Nangong Mili.

But falling in love with Nangong Mili was also normal.

After all, the other party's beauty and charm were irresistible even to her as a woman.

Every time Lu Changsheng and Nangong Mili were together, she couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful Nangong Mili was.

It's just that she was too enchanting and domineering, which made her somewhat dislike her.

"I'm fine." Lu Changsheng held Ling Zixiao's hand and smiled faintly.

He was actually not feeling sad about Nangong Mili.

It was just that parting like this made him a little sentimental for a while.

He felt that his strength was still too weak.

One woman was carrying his child, and the other had deep feelings for him.

But now, the two women were facing the pursuit and killing of the Tianjian Sect, and he could only leave it to fate.

"Okay." Ling Zixiao saw that Lu Changsheng didn't take the initiative to talk about it or ask further, so she lightly responded.

Then she held Lu Changsheng's hand and stood side by side on the spiritual boat.

Something big happened in the Qingyun Realm recently.

Xiahou remnants transformed into Devil Cultivators and caused chaos everywhere.

Overnight, they even destroyed the Feng Family Fortress.

The Feng Family Fortress was a large clan at the Foundation Building stage.

There are three Foundation Building cultivators in the clan.

Although one Foundation Building ancestor died during the previous campaign against the Xiahou clan.

There are still two Foundation Building ancestors in the clan.

The strength and heritage of their family are extraordinary.

But such a powerful Foundation Building clan was annihilated overnight by Devil Cultivators.

This news immediately caused panic in the entire Qingyun Realm.

Especially for the family forces that participated in the campaign against the Xiahou clan.

They were afraid of the remnants of Xiahou, who had turned into Devil Cultivators, retaliating against their own families.

During these days, all families and markets were heavily patrolled and on high alert.

After all, the overnight destruction of the Feng Family Fortress must have been caused by internal problems within the clan.

Otherwise, even with the help of fake Foundation Building cultivators, it would be impossible to conquer and destroy such a cultivation clan overnight.

Qingzhu Valley, Lu Family.

"Miaoge, is there still no news from Changsheng?"

Lu Yuanding asked his daughter, Lu Miaoge.

Due to the incident with Lu Miaofeng, Lu Miaoge did not return to the Hongye Valley Market and has been staying in the clan.

Not only the clan, but also the hearts of the Lu Family were restless during Lu Changsheng's long absence, and Lu Miaoge needed to calm the hearts of the people in the backyard of the family.

"No."

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge pursed her lips and shook her head, feeling a bit down.

Lu Changsheng has been gone for a year and three months.

His long absence naturally made her worried.

Especially with the Xiahou's evil deeds, the entire Qingyun Realm is not at peace.

And Lu Changsheng has always been quite punctual in this regard.

When he says a year, it's basically a year.

But now, it has been over a year and he still hasn't returned, which really worries her.

"Ah."

Lu Yuanding sighed slightly upon hearing this.

He asked about this matter partly because the situation in the clan is not good now, and he hopes that Lu Changsheng, a second-stage talisman master, will return soon to sit in the clan.

On the other hand, he is also worried about Lu Changsheng's situation.

After all, the situation in the Immortal World is not stable now, and Lu Changsheng is not safe outside.

"Miaoge, now Xiahou's evil deeds are causing chaos everywhere."

"Our ancestor is injured, and once the Xiahou family attacks, our clan will definitely be unable to resist and will suffer a devastating blow."

"So our ancestor and I have discussed it and plan to let you take some children and go to Jiulong Market or Qingyun Market."

Lu Yuanding looked at Lu Miaoge and said.

For a clan, the most important thing is fresh blood.

Now the Lu Family is in a precarious situation and cannot withstand any more turmoil.

The recent incident with the Devil Dao at the Feng Family Fortress has made Lu Yuanchong and the high-level members of the Lu Family worried.

They are afraid that the Devil Cultivators will find their Qingzhu Mountain.

With Lu Yuanchong's current situation, if the Devil Cultivators attack, the Lu Family will be in great danger.

So they thought of letting Lu Miaoge send some children from the main line to the major markets.

This way, even if the Devil Dao attacks, the Lu Family will have some seeds left outside.

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge's lips tightened and her mood became heavy.

She knew that the clan was preparing for the worst.

"Dad, the clan needs someone to stay and watch over."

Lu Miaoge spoke up.

She suggested that other members of the clan send these children away and she would stay in the clan.

After all, the Lu Family really doesn't have many Qi Refining late-stage cultivators now.

"Miaoge, these children also need someone to take care of them."

"And Qingshan, Qingzhu, and Qingsong are also about the age to cultivate."

"If the clan really encounters a disaster, only you can raise these children."

"So I think you are the most suitable person for this task."

Lu Yuanding knew what his daughter wanted to say without waiting for her to speak, and said directly.

The clan wants to disperse and arrange some of the main line members.

But it is not possible to send away too many at once.

Doing so would cause panic and severe depletion within the clan.

Although he is a clan cultivator, he is also a father.

He has his own selfishness.

He hopes his daughter will take on this task.

Send Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, and Lu Qingsong to different places.

"Dad, Changsheng has a good friend in the Qingyun Sect who is a Foundation Building cultivator in the Green River Market."

"I can send these children to the Green River Market and ask her for help in taking care of them."

"Afterwards, we can send an elder from the clan to the Green River Market to look after the children, so that I can return to the clan and watch over it."

After a moment of silence, Lu Miaoge spoke up.

She thought of sending the children to the Green River Market.

Xiao Xiyue serves as the head of the Green River Market.

As long as she takes care of these children, their safety will be guaranteed.

Even if the Lu family encounters any problems, the surrounding families and hostile forces dare not take extreme measures.

Moreover, through this action, they can also publicly reveal their relationship with Xiao Xiyue, which can have a certain deterrent effect.

As for whether Xiao Xiyue will agree or not, she is relatively confident about it.

Because of Lu Wangshu, she has met Xiao Xiyue twice and they have had many conversations.

Besides, she will also accompany Lu Wangshu on this trip.

"Good, you can arrange it now."

When Lu Yuanding heard his daughter's words, a smile appeared on his face and he nodded.

He also knew about Lu Changsheng's friendship with a Foundation Building cultivator from Qingyun Sect.

This way, it can have a certain deterrent effect on the outside world.

Although it cannot deter Devil Cultivators, it can still have some deterrent effect on the surrounding families and forces that have been eyeing the Lu family.

Immediately, Lu Miaoge and Lu Yuanding discussed which children to bring on this trip.

After all, the Lu family's spirit boat is limited and can only accommodate twelve people.

Lu Miaoge, Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, and Lu Qingsong already occupy four spots.

A spirit boat shuttles through the clouds.

"Only half a month left!"

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the spirit boat, looking at the map on the Jade Slip.

Seeing that there is still about half a month's journey left before returning to Qingzhu Mountain, his heart is excited and eager to return.

After all, he originally planned to be away for a year on this trip.

But by the time he returns home, it will have been a year and a half.

Without a doubt, his family must be very worried about him.

"I wonder what kind of expression my family will have when I return home and announce that I have reached Foundation Building. Mioyun, Mioge, and Grandma."

Lu Changsheng thought about the appearance of his family when he returns home and announces that he has reached Foundation Building.

Although in the entire Jiang Country's Immortal World, a Foundation Building cultivator is nothing special.

But for a family like Qingzhu Mountain, Foundation Building is already considered a powerful position!

For many low-level cultivators, their lifelong dream is to break through Foundation Building!

"With my talent and age, it's a bit early to break through Foundation Building."

"But the Immortal World is full of opportunities, so it can barely be considered acceptable."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Unknowingly, he is already thirty-nine years old.

It has been twenty-one years since he woke up at the Qingyun Sect's Heart Examination Platform and regained his memories.

He can barely be considered middle-aged at forty.

But for a Foundation Building cultivator with a lifespan of two hundred years, forty is still considered the prime of life!

Just then, a system prompt sounded.

[Congratulations, host, on the birth of your offspring. You have obtained one chance to draw a prize.]

"Hmm, the birth of my offspring?"

Lu Changsheng was slightly stunned when he heard this system prompt, but then he realized that it should be his son Lu Wuyu and Li Xuer giving birth to a child.

"Ah, without realizing it, I have become a grandfather too."

Lu Changsheng felt a bit emotional when he thought that his son Lu Wuyu had already become a parent, even though he hadn't been able to visit Ruyi Scepter County during this year.

By now, he should have many children who have started their own families.

"I wonder if they have returned safely."

Lu Changsheng thought of his eldest son, Lu Ping'an.

When this son left, Lu Ping'an hadn't returned yet.

Calculating the time, Lu Ping'an should have finished his training and returned home.

He was curious about whether his son had made any progress or changes during his training.

He still had some favoritism towards this eldest son.

If the other party still had aspirations for cultivation, he would give him the Hope Gu to assist him on the path of immortality.

"System lottery."

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Changsheng's mind moved slightly and he started the lottery.

The system lottery wheel appeared.

Accompanied by a golden light, it began to rotate.

After a while, the golden light stopped.

[Ding, congratulations, host, on obtaining the treasure: Spring of the Spirit Eye!]

[The reward has been sent to the system space. The host can check it at any time.]

A miniature spring with gushing water emerged from the lottery wheel, accompanied by a system prompt.

"Spring of the Spirit Eye!?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up with surprise when he saw the reward he obtained this time.

He naturally knew what the Spring of the Spirit Eye was.

In the world, where there is Spiritual Qi, if the Spiritual Qi is dense enough, it will form veins, large or small.

Large veins can stretch for thousands of miles without end.

Small veins may be less than a mile long, narrow and pitiful.

But regardless of the size of the veins, once they are formed, they will automatically emit a faint Spiritual Qi.

Let the Spiritual Qi circulate endlessly in the area.

However, the Spiritual Qi generated in different places of these spiritual veins is not consistent.

The places with the most concentrated Spiritual Qi are naturally the most suitable for meditation and cultivation, or for planting spiritual plants, so they are called "spiritual eyes" in the Immortal World.

Spiritual eyes are generally invisible and colorless, and can only be experienced based on the concentration of Spiritual Qi.

Alternatively, you can ask a "Feng Shui master" or a "dragon seeker" to find them.

Any place called a spiritual eye represents the most abundant Spiritual Qi in the nearby spiritual veins.

If the Spiritual Qi in the spiritual eye is too dense and can be maintained for a long time, it is possible to gradually produce entities and form objects of the spiritual eye.

For example, the pearl of the spiritual eye, the stone of the spiritual eye, the spring of the spiritual eye, the tree of the spiritual eye, and so on.

The Spiritual Qi emitted by these objects of the spiritual eye is much more concentrated and pure than that of ordinary spiritual eyes.

Practicing next to these objects of the spiritual eye can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.

What truly delighted Lu Changsheng was that these objects of the spiritual eye could be used to create and upgrade spiritual veins!

He wanted to establish a family.

But the spiritual places he could find were only up to the second rank at most.

The reason is simple.

The second rank spiritual veins are already the highest places that ordinary cultivators can find.

Third rank spiritual veins are very rare and almost always have owners.

And Lu Changsheng still had the idea of "planting trees".

The spiritual bright treasure tree and the Sumeru tree king in the system space.

The spiritual bright treasure tree was fine.

It could barely sustain itself on second rank spiritual veins.

But if the third rank Sumeru tree king were planted on a second rank spiritual vein, it would undoubtedly be very difficult and consume a lot of Spiritual Qi.

By then, it would definitely affect the spiritual luck of the entire spiritual place and even the operation of the family's grand formation.

"I don't know what rank this spiritual spring eye is."

"If it's the third rank, does that mean I can have third rank Spiritual Qi in a small area!?"

"In that case, the situation with the Sumeru tree king would be resolved."

Lu Changsheng secretly pondered in his heart, looking towards the system space.

[Treasure: Spring Eye of the Spiritual Eye]

[Grade: Lower third grade]

[Description: A rare item formed by the good fortune of heaven and earth, it can continuously produce third rank Spiritual Qi. When combined with a formation, it can create a small-scale second rank lower grade spiritual vein.]

"Lower third grade, can create a second rank lower grade small-scale spiritual vein."

Lu Changsheng looked at the information of this spring eye of the spiritual eye, feeling pleasantly surprised.

He thought to himself that the system did not disappoint him.

The effect of this object of the spiritual eye was similar to what he had learned from the book.

However, cultivators would never use the object of the spiritual eye to create spiritual veins.

Doing so would be a complete waste.

The most suitable use was to carry it with oneself.

Or put it in the Immortal Cave to increase cultivation speed.

Even if it was the worst, it could be used to upgrade spiritual veins.

"A lower third grade spring eye of the spiritual eye."

"With this spring eye of the spiritual eye, at least the Spiritual Qi of the Sumeru tree king is resolved."

Lu Changsheng secretly pondered in his heart, planning to use this spring eye of the spiritual eye for the Sumeru tree king.

He was a little curious. The Sumeru tree king had its own Grotto-Heaven inside, nurturing a world.

Could this spring eye of the spiritual eye be directly placed inside the Sumeru tree king?

If it could be placed inside, would it be equivalent to having a power bank inside the Sumeru tree king?

"Are you so happy because you're about to go home, my husband?"

At this moment, Ling Zixiao, who was resting on the spirit boat, woke up and saw the smile on Lu Changsheng's face. She smiled lightly and said.

She found that Lu Changsheng liked to smile when he had nothing to do.

But this smile was very comfortable and pleasant, like gentle sunlight and the spring breeze in March.

"Yes, we're about half a month away from home."

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

As they got closer and closer to home, his longing to return home grew stronger.

Ling Zixiao looked at Lu Changsheng's sincere smile and felt that she couldn't see through this man.

He was born as a son-in-law, but in just over twenty years, he had grown to such a level.

Clearly, his methods and combat power were astonishing, and his talent was unparalleled.

But in daily life, he didn't have the slightest arrogance of a genius, his face was always gentle and casual.

At this moment, as he was about to return home, the smile on his face and the longing in his eyes were like an ordinary mortal, clearly different from many cultivators.

"Purple Cloud, after we go back, I should be able to find a way to solve your Dragon Chant physique."

"By then, you will be able to fully recover and start cultivating again."

Lu Changsheng looked at Ling Zixiao, who was smiling at him, and chuckled.

"Yeah."

Ling Zixiao chuckled lightly, stood up, held Lu Changsheng's arm, and gently leaned her head on his shoulder, looking at the sea of clouds below.

In her heart, she was somewhat looking forward to and curious about Qingzhu Mountain and Lu Changsheng's family.

The third generation was about to come out, so they needed to come up with a generation name. Ancient generation names and Taoist generation names both felt quite ordinary.

I beg you!
