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

Chapter 217: Bodhi Cicada, Golden Core Accepting Disciples!

The clear sky stretched for thousands of miles, as blue as a wash.

A spirit boat emitting a blue light was swiftly flying in the air.

Lu Miaoge, with her high bun and beautiful face, was dressed in a white gown, exuding elegance as she controlled the spirit boat.

On the boat sat several boys and girls, ranging from five or six years old to around ten.

"Auntie, how much longer until we arrive?" asked a handsome boy of eleven or twelve, with rosy lips and white teeth, named Lu Qingshan.

"Qingshan, it will take another three or four days," replied Lu Miaoge with a gentle smile upon hearing Lu Qingshan's question.

"Three or four more days," sighed Lu Qingshan, looking dejected.

He then turned to his little sister, Lu Qingzhu, who was sitting beside him.

Pinching her little face, he said, "Come on, Little Bamboo, tell your brother a story."

Lu Qingzhu, wearing a pink and white dress, was exquisitely beautiful.

Especially her big watery eyes, shining like crystals.

Hearing her brother's words, she tilted her head and asked obediently, "Brother, what story do you want to hear?"

"Tell me a story about Qingshan Immortal taking Little Sister on a journey, slaying demons, and finding treasures," said Lu Qingshan after some thought.

He took the golden hamster from his little sister's hand and began to knead it.

The earth spirit rat in his hand made a "chirping" sound.

"Qingshan Immortal, you have no shame," said Lu Qingsong, who was sitting next to him, with a disdainful expression upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words.

"Hmph, ever since I started wielding a sword, I knew that I would become an unparalleled sword immortal in the future."

"So please show some respect for Qingshan Immortal!" Lu Qingshan patted his little brother's forehead, crossed his arms, and looked like a little devil.

"Lu Qingshan, lower your voice. You've woken up Xiaowangshu!" said a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, seeing the baby in her arms being disturbed, with a hint of annoyance.

"Oh, oh, don't cry, don't cry," the girl immediately coaxed Lu Wangshu, trying to make her stop crying.

But for a child of this age, who had just woken up from a nap, it wasn't so easy to calm down.

"Xiuer, give Wangshu to me," Lu Miaoge said gently as she saw this scene, holding Lu Wangshu in her arms.

Due to Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue's reasons, Lu Wangshu was mostly taken care of by her.

She treated Lu Wangshu as her own daughter.

After being held in Lu Miaoge's arms, Lu Wangshu immediately stopped crying and called her "mother" in a childish voice.

"You must be tired and hungry. Let's rest and have something to eat," Lu Miaoge comforted Lu Wangshu and looked at the children on the spirit boat, speaking softly.

The journey from Qingzhu Mountain to Green River Town was long.

For the children, this kind of journey was very boring and tiring.

So every time they traveled a certain distance, she would let the children rest and relax.

"Yay!" Lu Qingshan exclaimed happily upon hearing this.

He was naturally lively and active.

This long journey was quite uncomfortable for him.

Accompanied by the descent of the spirit boat from the sky.

Lu Qingshan looked at the earth spirit rat in his hand, kneading it vigorously, and said, "Xiao Jin, quickly see if there are any treasures nearby!"

"Brother, do you really think treasures can be picked up so easily?" Lu Qingsong said with a disdainful expression upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words.

"Mother told me that the Spirit Stones you picked up before were deliberately placed outside by Aunt Yun, so that you could find them."

"It's a wonder you were so happy for a few days."

Lu Qingsong said with a hint of contempt towards his older brother.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!" Lu Qingshan retorted unkindly.

Then he muttered to himself, "This shouldn't be. According to the stories, the protagonist always finds treasures when they go out."

"My father can even pick up Xiao Hei, Xiao Jin, Da Qing, and even a golden potato when he goes out. Why can't I find anything?"

Lu Qingshan's face was filled with dissatisfaction as he vigorously kneaded the earth spirit rat in his hand.

Just then, the earth spirit rat in his hand sniffed and made a "chirping" sound, pointing its little hands in a certain direction.

"Hmm? Xiao Jin, are you saying there's a treasure ahead?" Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up upon seeing the earth spirit rat's behavior.

Immediately, he shouted excitedly to Lu Miaoge, "Auntie, Auntie, Xiao Jin says there's a treasure here!"

"A treasure?" Lu Miaoge was somewhat surprised.

She didn't expect that there would actually be treasures around here.

But since the earth spirit rat said so, then naturally there must be.

She indulgently said, "Alright, since there's a treasure, let's go and take a look."

Immediately, following the direction indicated by the Earth Spirit Mouse, they slowly steered the Spirit Boat forward.

"It's right here."

As the Spirit Boat came to a stop, Lu Qingshan exclaimed excitedly.

Then he looked at Lu Qingzhu beside him and said, "Xiaozhu, don't worry. Although I was lucky enough to find this treasure, Xiaojin also deserves credit. The treasure is half yours!"

After saying that, he glanced disdainfully at Lu Qingsong and said, "Lu Qingsong, you can envy us since you have no share!"

"Lu Qingshan, you haven't even found the treasure yet, so don't talk big."

Lu Qingsong retorted.

"Hmph, you can envy us."

Lu Qingshan grabbed Lu Qingzhu's hand and agilely jumped off the Spirit Boat.

Then he threw the Earth Spirit Mouse and shouted, "Go, Xiaojin!"

"Qingshan, be careful."

Lu Miaoge held Lu Wangshu and shouted to Lu Qingshan.

Holding several talismans in his hand, he controlled the Spirit Boat closely following Lu Qingshan.

Even with the Earth Spirit Mouse, this treasure hunt might still be dangerous.

After a while.

The Earth Spirit Mouse arrived at a giant rock and pointed at a newly sprouted pale golden bamboo shoot.

"Is this the treasure?"

"Little Sister, what kind of bamboo shoot is this?"

Lu Qingshan approached and asked Lu Qingzhu.

Qingzhu Mountain has a school.

The descendants with Spiritual Roots attend classes at the school to learn about the Immortal World.

For example, the identification of Medicine Pills, talismans, spiritual plants, Demonic Beasts, Heavenly and Mortal Treasures, etc.

However, Lu Qingshan is more mischievous and doesn't like to study.

Lu Qingzhu, on the other hand, is quiet and likes to read books. He knows more about knowledge than Lu Qingshan.

So whenever there is something he doesn't understand, he asks Lu Qingzhu directly.

"I don't know."

Lu Qingzhu squatted down and took a few glances, shaking his head to indicate that he didn't know what it was.

Although she studies diligently and loves reading, she is only ten years old after all.

Her understanding of the Immortal World is mostly limited to common knowledge and common things.

"This should be the Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot."

Lu Miaoge looked at this pale golden bamboo shoot and said with some surprise.

"Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot?"

Neither Lu Qingshan nor Lu Qingzhu knew what it was.

"Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot? Aunt, I remember it was recorded in the book that the Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot grows under extremely harsh conditions and must grow in a place with abundant Spiritual Qi. How could it grow here?"

A young boy on the Spirit Boat asked in astonishment.

"I don't know either."

Lu Miaoge shook her head.

She was also surprised and didn't understand why the Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot grew here.

"Aunt, is this Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot valuable?"

Lu Qingshan immediately focused on its value.

After all, treasure hunting is all about value.

"It depends on the specific situation. This Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot has just grown, so its value should be around three to five hundred Spirit Stones."

Lu Miaoge said softly.

"Wow, it's so valuable. We're going to get rich!"

Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He immediately went forward to dig up the Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot.

"Qingshan, be careful."

"Try not to dig it up yourself."

Seeing this, Lu Miaoge quickly raised her hand, and her Spirit Power surged, holding Lu Qingshan.

Then she flicked her storage bag, and a small white jade shovel appeared.

Controlling the white jade shovel, she dug out the pale golden bamboo shoot.

"It really is the Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot."

Lu Miaoge looked at the bamboo shoot and smiled.

This Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot is worth at least three hundred Spirit Stones, which is not a small gain.

Then she turned to Lu Qingshan and said softly, "Qingshan, I'll keep this Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot for you. I'll give you the equivalent Spirit Stones later."

"What is this?"

However, at this moment, Lu Qingshan was looking at the pit where the Bitter Heart Bamboo Shoot was dug out.

In the pit, there was a fist-sized, pale golden amber.

He picked up the amber.

But inside the amber, there was an unremarkable golden cicada.

As soon as the amber was held in Lu Qingshan's hand, it began to slowly melt.

Inside, the unremarkable golden cicada emitted a faint aura.

"Hmm?"

Lu Miaoge saw the amber in Lu Qingshan's hand and felt something extraordinary from the aura it emitted, her expression slightly surprised.

Hastily stepping forward, she gently lifted her fair hand and wrapped the amber in Spirit Power to prevent any issues with the cicada inside.

Meanwhile, above the clouds and gusts of wind, a giant Calabash was slowly flying.

On the Calabash, there lay a woman in her thirties, seemingly beautiful and voluptuous, exuding an extreme sensuality in her red dress.

The woman wore a magnificent long red dress, with her ample bosom seemingly ready to burst out from the neckline, standing proudly without anger.

Although only a glimpse was visible, like the tip of an iceberg, it still made people involuntarily swallow their saliva.

She lay indifferently on the Calabash, holding a wine Calabash and drinking slowly.

Her long black hair cascaded down, and her red dress fluttered in the gusts of wind, revealing two slender and beautiful legs.

Her thighs were plump and fleshy, but not overly fat, exuding a firm and powerful sensuality.

Below her smooth and delicate calves, her two exquisite jade feet were bare, emitting a faint blush, intertwined near the mouth of the Calabash.

Under the influence of continuous drinking, her beautiful face had a slight blush, her mesmerizing eyes were hazy, and there was a hint of intoxication and satisfaction.

"Hmm? This aura..."

Just then, as if sensing something, she slightly adjusted her posture and furrowed her brows.

Immediately, the large Calabash beneath her transformed into a divine rainbow, tearing through the gusts of wind and swiftly descending below.

"Hahaha, I am indeed the son of fortune!"

In the mountains and forests, Lu Qingshan looked at the golden cicada in his hand and burst into excited laughter.

Although he didn't know what this golden cicada was, even Aunt Miaoge didn't recognize it.

It should be some kind of rare and extraordinary insect, definitely not ordinary.

So he directly regarded it as a rare treasure.

He looked at Lu Qingzhu beside him and cheerfully said, "Xiaozhu, rest assured, you will have half of this treasure."

Swish!

Just then, a divine rainbow shot towards them.

A woman with a tall figure, disheveled black hair, and dressed in a luxurious red gown appeared on a giant Calabash.

"The Bodhi Golden Cicada!?"

The woman in the red dress saw the golden cicada in Lu Qingshan's hand and showed a surprised expression on her face.

"Greetings, senior!"

Lu Miaoge saw this suddenly appearing woman and was immediately startled, quickly bowing respectfully.

Although the other party didn't reveal much of her imposing aura, the faint presence and the act of descending on a rainbow made her immediately realize that this was a Golden Core cultivator!

A cultivator who had broken through the Foundation Establishment stage and could fly in the air!

If she were to advance further and break through the Golden Core stage, she would be able to ride rainbows and roam freely in the Nine Heavens' gusts of wind.

"Greetings, senior!"

"Greetings, senior!"

"Greetings, senior!"

Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, and other descendants of the Lu family were all surprised to see this scene.

Following Lu Miaoge's lead, they bowed to the woman in the red dress.

"No need for excessive courtesy. I just sensed a chance encounter, so I came to take a look."

"I didn't expect that this item already had a connection."

The woman in the red dress waved her hand and spoke.

Using her Divine Sense, she examined the golden cicada in Lu Qingshan's hand.

"So it's just a failed molt of the Bodhi Golden Cicada."

"That's right. If it were a living Bodhi Golden Cicada, how could it have been picked up by such a little kid?"

"However, the discarded molt of the Bodhi Golden Cicada has the effect of assisting in cultivation and enlightenment. It can also be used as the main ingredient for refining the Bodhi Enlightenment Pill, which is just what I need."

Yan Yuan glanced at the golden cicada in Lu Qingshan's hand.

She pondered how she could obtain this Bodhi Golden Cicada for herself.

In the Immortal World, the higher one's Cultivation Base, the more importance is placed on Karma and temperament.

If she were to simply take away this Bodhi Golden Cicada, it would be equivalent to creating Karma.

Although Lu Miaoge, who currently had the highest cultivation level, was only at the peak of Qi Refining, she completely disregarded her.

But as a Golden Core cultivator, she wouldn't stoop so low as to snatch a child's chance encounter.

"It seems that this senior has come for the golden cicada in my hand."

Although Lu Qingshan was only ten years old, he had a lively and clever personality.

Especially since he often enjoyed reading stories and imagining himself as the protagonist.

Seeing this senior expert appear and looking at the golden cicada in his hand, mentioning a chance encounter treasure, he knew that the other party was attracted by this golden cicada.

He remembered that in the stories, obtaining a chance encounter treasure and meeting a senior expert, offering the treasure voluntarily could bring benefits in return.

Perhaps he might even be taken as a disciple by the senior expert.

Although the other party seemed somewhat lazy and casual, not like the legendary senior experts, the fact that she descended from the sky and made his aunt bow like this clearly indicated that she was a senior expert.

Immediately, Lu Qingshan spoke up, "Senior, I just obtained this treasure and am willing to offer it to you."

"Hehe, you're quite a clever little guy."

Yan Yuan looked at Lu Qingshan being so cooperative and couldn't help but smile.

She thought about how to compensate Lu Qingshan and resolve the Karma.

But the next moment, she saw Lu Qingshan furrow his brows and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Then he stepped forward and touched Lu Qingshan's head.

"Indeed, it is the Geng Metal constitution."

"No wonder he was able to activate the Bodhi Golden Cicada's aura just now. It turns out he has the Geng Metal constitution."

"When my master passed down the Geng Metal Sword Technique to me, it was incomplete. This young man has the Geng Metal constitution and a good temperament and opportunity. He would be a good disciple."

Yan Yuan looked at the young man in front of him and pondered in his heart, subconsciously reaching for the wine calabash at his waist.

But he hesitated for a moment, immediately straightened up into a mature and hot figure, the laziness on his face disappeared, and he stood with his hands behind his back, speaking seriously.

"This insect is called the Bodhi Golden Cicada. I happen to be refining a furnace of Medicine Pill, and I need this as a material."

"But I won't ask for your opportunity in vain. Seeing your exceptional talent, I am willing to accept you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

Yan Yuan looked at Lu Qingshan in front of him and spoke.

In his words, a red dress fluttered, revealing his Golden Core aura.

The whole person instantly became dignified and out of the ordinary, with a touch of a master's demeanor.

"Accepting disciples?"

Lu Qingshan was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to really want to accept him as a disciple.

Although he often thought about this kind of thing when reading storybooks.

But when it really happened, he was still surprised and hesitant.

Moreover, he couldn't see how powerful the other party was, so how could he easily become a disciple?

"Exceptional talent, accepted as a disciple?"

Beside him, Lu Miaoge, who was holding Lu Wangshu, looked surprised and doubtful.

She didn't expect this Golden Core senior to actually want to accept Lu Qingshan as a disciple.

But Lu Qingshan only had sixth rank Spiritual Roots.

How is this related to exceptional talent?

If this senior only values Lu Qingshan's opportunity and wants to accept him as a disciple, I'm afraid...

"I am Tianyuan, from the Jin Yang Sect of Yue Country."

"You have the Geng Metal constitution, which happens to be compatible with the heritage of my sect."

Yan Yuan saw Lu Qingshan and Lu Miaoge's hesitation and remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet. He took out the Jin Yang Sect token and spoke with a solemn voice.

"The Jin Yang Sect of Yue Country?"

"The Geng Metal constitution!?"

Upon hearing the other party's words and introduction, Lu Miaoge was once again surprised.

She didn't expect this Golden Core senior to be from the Jin Yang Sect of Yue Country, not a cultivator from Jiang Country.

The Jin Yang Sect was something she had heard of.

One of the five major immortal sects in Yue Country.

Its status was similar to that of the Qingyun Sect and the Luoxia Sect in Jiang Country.

However, what surprised her the most was that Lu Qingshan had the Geng Metal constitution.

When Lu Qingshan was six years old and tested his Spiritual Roots, he only had sixth rank Spiritual Roots.

He hadn't started cultivating yet, so his spiritual body hadn't manifested.

No one in the family knew that Lu Qingshan had a spiritual body.

It was only now, upon hearing the words of the Tianyuan True Immortal in front of her, that she realized that her little sister's son actually had the Geng Metal constitution!

Although the Geng Metal constitution was just one of the common Five Elements spiritual bodies.

But a spiritual body was a spiritual body!

As long as Lu Qingshan didn't die prematurely on his cultivation path, he had a high probability of achieving Foundation Establishment in the future.

If he could become a disciple of a Golden Core true immortal, he might even have a chance at Golden Core!

"Qingshan, quickly thank the senior."

Lu Miaoge hurriedly said to Lu Qingshan.

She knew that this Golden Core true immortal was not only interested in the treasure of opportunity.

It was also because of Lu Qingshan's Geng Metal constitution that he was willing to accept him as a disciple. She couldn't help but feel relieved.

After all, it was a great opportunity for a Golden Core true immortal to accept a disciple.

Although the Jin Yang Sect was far away in Yue Country.

Compared to being able to become a disciple of a Golden Core true immortal, it was obviously worth it.

"Jin Yang Sect, Tianyuan True Immortal?"

Lu Qingshan was not familiar with the Jin Yang Sect, he only knew about the Qingyun Sect.

But upon hearing this, and seeing his aunt's appearance, he probably knew that the Jin Yang Sect should be similar to the Qingyun Sect.

Moreover, the other party called himself a true immortal, which meant he was a legendary Golden Core true immortal.

This was a true senior expert!

Such a senior expert accepting him as a disciple, he naturally was very willing.

Looking at Lu Miaoge's urging and the envious eyes of others, Lu Qingshan gritted his teeth.

He spoke up, "Senior, this Golden Cicada was found by me and my little sister together."

"And my little sister, can you also accept her as a disciple?"

Lu Qingshan held his little sister's hand, looked up at Yan Yuan in front of him, and pursed his lips.

Although the two of them had different personalities, one lively and one quiet.

But their relationship was extremely good.

Lu Qingshan knew that his little sister had seventh rank Spiritual Roots.

Her talent could only be considered average, or even poor.

If she could be accepted as a disciple by a Golden Core true immortal, her future cultivation would be much easier.
