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

Chapter 225: The Lu Family's Descendants, Hoping for the Awakening of Gu!

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

During these few days, Lu Changsheng spent most of his time accompanying Xiao Xiyue, and the two of them expressed their longing for each other.

In the process, he asked about the matter of the Qingyun Sect token.

Xiao Xiyue said that she was not clear about the specifics of this token's favor.

But obtaining the qualification to purchase a spiritual vein dojo should not be a problem.

After all, this was the true transmission disciple who saved the Qingyun Sect!

As for Lu Changsheng's inquiry about the battle at the Blackwater Abyss and the sale of spiritual lands by other family forces, Xiao Xiyue was not aware of it.

Because under normal circumstances, as long as the family forces within their jurisdiction do not collude with the Devil Dao and provide their offerings on time every year, the Qingyun Sect would not interfere with the situations of the families below.

They had no spare time to care about these trivial matters.

However, Xiao Xiyue mentioned that it would be best if they could purchase the spiritual lands sold by other family forces.

Because most of the spiritual vein dojos purchased from the Qingyun Sect were quite rudimentary.

If they were to establish a family, they would need to build it step by step, which would consume a lot of time and resources.

By directly purchasing the spiritual lands sold by other family forces, they could save themselves from this trouble.

Moreover, most of these family forces' spiritual lands had stable output, income, and channels.

Once they bought the spiritual lands, it would be equivalent to taking over all these resources, saving them a lot of trouble.

After listening to Xiao Xiyue's suggestion, Lu Changsheng also planned to follow the original plan and first investigate the suitable spiritual lands in the surrounding area.

If they could buy a suitable spiritual land, that would be the best.

If there were no suitable spiritual lands, then he would use the Qingyun Sect token to exchange for the qualification to purchase a spiritual vein.

At the same time, Xiao Xiyue gave Lu Changsheng the third-grade materials she had acquired over the past year.

There weren't many materials, only about ten pieces and some raw materials.

In response, Lu Changsheng also gave Xiao Xiyue ten second-grade premium talismans that he had drawn using the "Talisman Nurturing Method."

He actually didn't want to part with the third-grade talismans.

It was just that he had been busy all this time and hadn't had the chance to draw the third-grade talismans.

However, these second-grade premium talismans were all drawn using third-grade materials.

They could be promoted to third-grade through the "Talisman Nurturing Method."

After accompanying Xiao Xiyue, Lu Changsheng didn't stay for long.

He set off for Qingzhu Mountain with Lu Miaoge and a few children.

Since Xiao Xiyue couldn't take care of the children for a long time, Lu Changsheng naturally carried his daughter, Lu Wangshu, back with him.

After a few days of contact, this daughter had also grown closer to him.

"Sister Miaoge, I still need to go to Ruyi Scepter County. Will you come with me, or will you go back to Qingzhu Mountain first?"

On the spirit boat, Lu Changsheng held his daughter, Lu Wangshu, and looked at Lu Miaoge, speaking up.

After returning home this time and accompanying his wives and concubines, he would head straight to the Green River Market.

He hadn't been there for so long, so naturally, he had to go and take a look.

Besides, he also wanted to see if Lu Ping'an had returned.

To meet his own eldest grandson.

"I'll go with you," Lu Miaoge said softly when she heard this.

She knew that Lu Changsheng had settled his wives, concubines, and children without spiritual roots in Ruyi Scepter County.

Since Lu Changsheng wanted to go and visit these wives, concubines, and children, as his wife, she naturally wanted to accompany him.

"Alright," Lu Changsheng nodded, then controlled the spirit boat and headed towards Ruyi Scepter County.

Qingyun Sect.

Inside an Immortal Cave.

"Lu Changsheng."

Meng Xiangu frowned slightly as she looked at the information in her hand.

Ever since her grandson, Meng Yibai, was killed, she would think of him whenever she saw the incompetent younger generation in the family.

But the only clue to revenge was in Xiao Xiyue's hands.

Naturally, she didn't dare to question Xiao Xiyue.

So when Xiao Xiyue was arranged to serve as the chief of the Green River Market, she secretly observed her, trying to find out if she had any intimate contact with anyone.

To see if there were any discoveries.

Previously, she received news that a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Han Li, a Rogue Cultivator, had contact with Xiao Xiyue and entered her field of vision.

But after investigating, she didn't find any relevant information about this person.

Recently, she received another piece of news.

A daughter of a small family seemed to be very close to Xiao Xiyue.

This surprised her greatly.

Xiao Xiyue had a cold personality and always kept people at a distance.

Yet she was very close to a daughter of a small family, even letting the other party's child recognize her as their mother.

After investigating, she received another piece of news today.

The husband of this daughter of a small family, a man named Lu Changsheng, was an old acquaintance of Xiao Xiyue.

He had also come to the Green River Market in recent days and had a closer relationship with Xiao Xiyue.

"This Lu Changsheng is just a son-in-law of a small family. He has just broken through to Foundation Establishment. It's impossible for him to kill Yibai."

"I suppose they only knew each other in their early years and formed a slight friendship."

Meng Xiangu muttered to herself and put the information aside.

The person who originally killed her grandson, Meng Yibai, broke through Foundation Establishment together with Xiao Xiyue.

This Lu Changsheng has only just broken through Foundation Establishment, how could he have killed his own grandson?

Furthermore, she suspects that the person who killed her grandson has a fake pill or a Golden Core cultivator behind them.

Lu Changsheng, a son-in-law of a small family, is also worthy of being noticed by a Golden Core cultivator?

Half a month later.

A spiritual boat arrived at the Ruyi Scepter County.

Lu Changsheng did not stop the spiritual boat outside the Ruyi Scepter County as usual.

Instead, he took out an invisibility talisman and concealed the spiritual boat, directly driving it into the backyard of the Lu Mansion.

At this time, in the Myriad Manifestations Garden of the Lu Mansion, Lu Ping'an was sparring with Nine Nether Mastiff.

Or rather, Nine Nether Mastiff was using Lu Ping'an as a sparring partner.

Otherwise, ten Lu Ping'ans would not be a match for Nine Nether Mastiff.

"Ah ah ah--"

Suddenly, Nine Nether Mastiff stopped and howled towards the sky.

The sound was not a roar of anger, but a joyful howl.

"Hehe, worthy of being Nine Nether Mastiff, actually able to easily sense the aura."

Lu Changsheng lightly laughed at this scene.

Immediately, he raised his hand and dispelled the invisibility effect on the spiritual boat.

Accompanied by the appearance of the spiritual boat.

Lu Ping'an immediately saw on the spiritual boat in the air, Lu Changsheng, who was dressed in a green robe, handsome and elegant, and exuded an otherworldly temperament, as well as Lu Miaoge, who had a beautiful face and a tall figure, and was dressed in a fairy dress.

"Father!"

"Aunt!"

Lu Ping'an immediately respectfully called out.

Before, he didn't have much of a feeling.

It was only after this trip and a visit to the lower level of the Immortal World with Qin Yi that he realized that the Immortal World he was cultivating in was completely different from his childhood memories.

Throughout the Immortal World, he hadn't seen many people with Immortal Qi like his father.

Especially at this moment, his father and aunt standing on the spiritual boat, like a pair of immortal lovers, with Immortal Qi floating around them, made a hint of envy appear in his eyes.

"Well, how long have you been back?"

Lu Changsheng piloted the spiritual boat to land, looked at his eldest son in front of him, and smiled.

He reached out and touched the Nine Nether Mastiff that had come to him.

Now, Nine Nether Mastiff was already two meters tall.

Its fur was dark and shiny, its eyes were crimson, and its sharp teeth were interlaced. Just looking at it gave off a terrifying aura.

"Four months."

Lu Ping'an respectfully replied.

"Ping'an has grown so much."

Lu Changsheng said with a smile as he looked at his son.

He could see that this trip had brought Lu Ping'an a lot of experiences.

Then he patted his son's shoulder and looked at the group of people. He could tell that these well-dressed young men and women all had extraordinary bearing.

They should not be without Spiritual Roots and were arranged here by their father.

And among these people, except for this young man who called himself Dage and resembled his father and aunt, the others should not be his father's children.

"Let's go, let's go inside and chat."

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and led Lu Miaoge and the others to the front hall.

"Master, husband!"

"Father, Patriarch!"

Lu Lanshu and the wives, concubines, and children hurriedly came to greet Lu Changsheng, making the house lively.

"Father."

After a while, a young woman in her late teens, holding a baby, walked over and shouted to Lu Changsheng.

"Xue'er."

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter-in-law Li Xue'er in front of him and nodded with a smile.

He knew that the baby in her arms was his eldest grandson of the Lu family.

"Is Wuyu not at home?"

Lu Changsheng glanced around and didn't see his son Lu Wuyu.

He came here mainly to see his sons Lu Ping'an, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Quanzhen.

"My husband spends most of his time in Luo'an County. I have already sent someone to inform him and ask him to come back."

Li Xue'er immediately replied.

"It's alright, I was just asking casually."

Lu Changsheng waved his hand.

Know that this son is serving as a county magistrate.

He looked at the child in Li Xueer's arms and asked, "Does this child have a name?"

This child is only two months old and still has some wrinkled skin.

Through the system, he knew that this child has no Spiritual Roots.

This is normal.

Neither Lu Wuyu nor Li Xueer have Spiritual Roots.

The child they gave birth to most likely does not have Spiritual Roots.

"My husband said to wait for you to come back before naming him."

Li Xueer respectfully said, handing the baby in her arms to Lu Changsheng.

"I'll name him."

Lu Changsheng took the child and looked at his own eldest grandson from the Lu family, thinking of a name.

In fact, starting from the third generation of the Lu family, he had an idea of creating a generation name.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changsheng raised his hand and a brush and a scroll appeared.

"Profound Origin Eternal, True Perfection and Great Purity, Upholding the Dao and Illuminating Virtue, Hopeful and Expansive Jade Void, Worldly Prosperity and Excellence, Profound and Subtle Profoundness, Boundless for Ten Thousand Generations, Soaring to the Heavens, and the Universe Witnessing Immortality."

Immediately, Lu Changsheng held the child with one hand and waved the brush, inscribing the generation name of the Lu family on it.

"This child is the eldest grandson of my Lu family, so let's start with the 'Profound' generation and call him 'Xuanming'."

Lu Changsheng said aloud, giving the child a name.

Saying that, he took out a warm jade from his storage bag and used a spiritual pattern carving knife to engrave the characters 'Xuanming' on it.

As the eldest grandson of the family, he naturally had to make a gesture.

"Xuanming, Xuanming, this is your name, grandpa gave you this name."

Li Xueer heard this and immediately said to the child with joy.

She and Lu Wuyu did not give the child a name, partly out of respect for Lu Changsheng.

On the other hand, they also hoped that Lu Changsheng would have a better impression of this eldest grandson and would love him more in the future.

Now that she saw Lu Changsheng not only giving him a name, but also giving him a precious jade, her face was filled with joy.

Several wives and concubines and children beside them saw this scene and showed a hint of envy.

After naming the child, Lu Changsheng chatted with his wives, concubines, and children to understand the situation in the family over the past year.

Now, Lu Wuyu has already married and had a child.

As for the other children, Lu Lanshu also had a general idea and made arrangements.

Just waiting for Lu Changsheng, the head of the family, to give his approval.

"Alright, as long as the children themselves are willing and think it's appropriate."

"Lanshu, Zier, Qing'er, you can take care of it."

Lu Changsheng heard this and said so.

He spends most of his time in the Ruyi Scepter County and doesn't really care about these children starting their own families.

He can only rely on his wife Lu Lanshu and others to take care of it and make arrangements.

"Yes, husband."

When the few women heard Lu Changsheng's words, they immediately told him about the arrangements for their children.

Lu Ping'an, who was beside them, heard about the marriage arrangements made by his mother and showed a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

But he didn't say anything.

"Ping'an, come with me."

After chatting for a while, Lu Changsheng saw his son, Lu Ping'an, and said.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he noticed the changes in his son's expression just now.

He saw his longing and envy for cultivation when he stood on the spiritual boat.

And the slight bitterness in his eyes when Lu Lanshu mentioned marriage.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

The two of them came to a side hall, and Lu Ping'an respectfully looked at Lu Changsheng, not knowing what his father wanted to say.

"Tell me about your experiences in these years."

Lu Changsheng leaned back in his chair, one hand supporting his cheek, and the other lightly tapping the armrest.

"In the first year, under Grandpa Li's arrangement, I was in the Red Whale Gang. In the second year..."

Lu Ping'an heard his father's words and immediately spoke, recounting his experiences.

But when it came to meeting Qin Yi, his voice clearly stumbled.

After all, it was a bit embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing with his father.

But he couldn't deceive his father either.

"Do you like this girl?"

Lu Changsheng heard this and raised an eyebrow, saying directly.

"Ah, well, um..."

Lu Ping'an heard his father's direct question and was stunned.

In his mind, the image of a cold-faced girl in black clothes appeared.

Then he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I don't like her."

"You're already an adult. If you like her, you like her. If you don't, you don't."

"Why be so hesitant."

Lu Changsheng looked at his son like this and said impatiently.

He, who harbored great love in his heart.

How could his son be so naive in this regard.

"Do you think she is a cultivator and you are not worthy of her?"

Lu Changsheng looked at his son and continued.

"I don't have it."

Lu Ping'an pursed his lips and spoke in a somewhat muffled voice.

"Do you feel that you don't have Spiritual Roots, and that the two of you are ultimately not meant to be together, so you don't want to hold her back?"

Lu Changsheng furrowed his brows slightly and continued to inquire.

"Mm."

Lu Ping'an fell silent for a moment, pursed his lips, and spoke in a deep voice.

His whole demeanor seemed somewhat downcast.

"Ah."

Lu Changsheng looked at his son and shook his head slightly.

In the past few years of his travels, although he had become more adaptable, his character was still somewhat straightforward.

But changing one's character was not something that could be done in an instant.

He looked at Lu Ping'an and asked, "Do you want to cultivate immortality?"

Since his son still had thoughts of cultivating immortality, he decided to give Lu Ping'an the Hope Gu.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless to continue keeping it.

As for the explanation to the outside world, he had also thought about it.

When the Lu family tested Lu Ping'an's Spiritual Roots, they didn't detect anything.

Because he had carefully considered it, the Heavenly and Mortal Treasures that gave birth to Spiritual Roots were too rare, and ordinary people wouldn't even think of this aspect.

Furthermore, it was true that there were loopholes in the detection of Spiritual Roots in the Immortal World, and they could only be detected after reaching adulthood.

So it was reasonable to say that Lu Ping'an's Spiritual Roots had been detected now.

"Hm?"

Lu Ping'an was taken aback when he heard this, not understanding why.

"Do you want to cultivate immortality? Tell the truth!"

Lu Changsheng continued to inquire.

"I do!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping'an looked at his father's eyes, pursed his lips, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Why do you want to cultivate immortality?"

Lu Changsheng lightly tapped the armrest with his finger and asked, "After cultivating immortality, do you want to pursue that girl?"

"No, I don't."

Lu Ping'an immediately shook his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

But looking at his father's eyes, he took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice, "I just want to cultivate immortality, like you, and become an immortal."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng looked at his son's eyes.

He still remembered, fifteen years ago, when six-year-old Lu Ping'an looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"Father, is it impossible to become an immortal without Spiritual Roots? I also want to become an immortal like you!"

He remembered this sentence.

But at that time, he could only remain silent.

"Come forward."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

In his palm, a thumb-sized light sphere appeared, like the Hope Gu.

The Hope Gu could awaken the potential of ordinary people and give birth to Spiritual Roots!

As for the quality of the Spiritual Roots, it depended on each person's situation.

"Hm?"

Lu Ping'an was puzzled by these words.

But he still obediently stepped forward and stood in front of his father.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, the light sphere in Lu Changsheng's hand shot out like a beam of light and swiftly entered Lu Ping'an's body.

"Boom!"

As the light sphere entered his body, Lu Ping'an seemed to hear a booming sound.

A profound and earth-shattering power surged through his body.

As an Innate Practitioner, an Innate Great Master, his muscles tensed at this moment, his hair stood on end, and his mind was like a bowstring being pulled taut.

If it weren't for the fact that his father was in front of him, he would instinctively have made a move.

But in the next moment, he saw endless radiance filling his body.

This radiance made him feel heavy all over, as if carrying a thousand pounds, with an indescribable pressure.

"Hold on!"

At this moment, a voice sounded in his mind.

It was his father Lu Changsheng's voice.

Although Lu Ping'an didn't know what was happening, upon hearing his father's words, he exerted all his strength, gritted his teeth, and persisted.

Allowing the radiance to fill his body, making him feel heavier and heavier, with rumbling sounds coming from within his body, as if his bones were creaking.

"Hold on!"

Lu Changsheng said in a deep voice.

The child's Spiritual Roots talent would be added to him.

So he could clearly feel that the Hope Gu was opening up Lu Ping'an's potential.

The longer Lu Ping'an persisted, the higher the quality of his Spiritual Roots would be after opening up!

But based on the Spiritual Roots enhancement that had been transmitted from Lu Ping'an so far, the Hope Gu could only enhance Spiritual Roots to a limited extent, and the effect was very poor.

Based on the Spiritual Roots enhancement that had been transmitted from Lu Ping'an so far, the other party only had a low-grade Spiritual Roots.
