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

Chapter 94: Father, Can't You Cultivate Immortality Without Spiritual Roots?

After leaving Jiulongfang Market, Lu Changsheng did not ride the Iron Feather Eagle. Instead, he took out the flying artifact he had obtained from the robbery cultivator from his storage bag. Now that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he could control the flying artifact to travel.

Of course, Lu Changsheng didn't plan to fly back to Qingzhu Mountain. That would be unrealistic. He simply wanted to disguise himself better since he had already changed his appearance. He also wanted to experience using the flying artifact.

This flying artifact was like a round wheel. Lu Changsheng infused it with spiritual energy and jumped onto it, throwing it into the air. With a slight movement of his mind, he maintained it with spiritual energy, and the wheel began to fly.

The basic speed of this flying artifact was not very fast, just slightly faster than a spiritual horse. However, compared to flying swords, it consumed very little spiritual energy. If he wanted to increase the speed for escaping or other purposes, the consumption of spiritual energy would increase exponentially.

After flying for about ten kilometers, Lu Changsheng felt that he had consumed about one-tenth of his spiritual energy. "This flying artifact consumes quite a bit, it's not suitable for long-distance travel," he said. "If you want to fly long distances in the Foundation Establishment stage, you still have to rely on flying mounts or flying boats that can fly with the help of spirit stones."

Lu Changsheng shook his head. Then he descended from the flying artifact and released the Iron Feather Eagle from his spirit pet bag, riding on it.

The Iron Feather Eagle spread its wings and immediately soared into the sky, flying towards Qingzhu Mountain at high speed.

Two days later.

Qingzhu Mountain.

Lu Changsheng, with his handsome appearance and tall figure, wearing a green bamboo leaf brocade robe, landed from the Iron Feather Eagle. The journey was very smooth and there were no accidents. But now that he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, possessed over a hundred high-grade talismans, fifty top-grade talismans, and a talisman treasure, Lu Changsheng felt a sense of security.

On the way back and forth, he no longer felt so worried and uneasy.

When Lu Changsheng returned home, his wives and children were naturally overjoyed. Lu Changsheng chatted with Lu Miaoyun and learned that the Spirit Testing Ceremony would begin in five days. He also learned that during the three days he was at home last time, one of his wives had become pregnant.

In other words, the servant girl he impregnated in Jiulongfang Market was carrying his fifty-first child.

After spending some time with his wives, concubines, and children at home, Lu Changsheng went to visit the Fourth Elder. After all, he had to pay his respects when he returned.

The Fourth Elder knew that Lu Changsheng had returned because of the Spirit Testing Ceremony for his child and didn't say much. He asked about his situation over the past three months and checked his knowledge of talismans.

Five days later, the Lu family's Spirit Testing Ceremony began.

Lu Changsheng, along with his four wives, Lu Lanshu, Lu Qing'er, Lu Zier, and Lu Lian'er, brought their four children to a square in Qingzhu Mountain.

The Spirit Testing Ceremony was held here.

Lu Changsheng saw many Lu family descendants and the immortal seedlings who had come to the Lu family with him.

They all brought their children to participate in the Spirit Testing Ceremony.

Although it was called a grand ceremony, there weren't many people actually present.

There were only about forty children in total.

"Line up!"

The Spirit Testing Ceremony was presided over by an elder of the Lu family.

Uncle Fu and several Lu family descendants maintained order.

Lu Changsheng also had his four little ones line up and wait for their spiritual roots to be tested.

The treasure used to test spiritual roots was a crystal cylinder about one meter long.

The children would drip a drop of blood onto it, then touch it with both hands and wait quietly for thirty seconds.

If they had spiritual roots, the crystal cylinder would react.

"Now, the Spirit Testing Ceremony begins!"

When the time was right, the elder of the Lu family began, allowing the first child to step forward.

"Husband."

Lu Lanshu and the other three women had nervous and anxious expressions, their eyes filled with anticipation and hope.

After all, at this moment, their children's fate would be decided.

If they didn't have spiritual roots, they would only be ordinary mortals in the future.

Although they had the Lu family and Lu Changsheng, and their children would live a life of wealth and worry-free comfort, as mothers, they naturally hoped that their children would have spiritual roots and be able to cultivate immortality.

To become a lofty immortal.

Seeing their nervous and anxious expressions, Lu Changsheng sighed softly and didn't say anything.

He just gently patted their hands, telling them not to be too nervous.

"Next!"

"Next!"

"Next!"

One child after another stepped forward for testing.

But the crystal cylinder still didn't react.

It is indicated that none of them have spiritual roots.

Seeing this scene, not only the surrounding parents and elders were nervous and disappointed.

Even the children in line were a bit nervous.

After all, growing up in an environment like Qingzhu Mountain, they were influenced by it and knew that this moment was related to their future destiny.

At this moment, a child placed his palm on the crystal column.

Causing three layers of light to appear on the column, with a faint reddish color on top.

"Not bad, seventh-grade spiritual roots, leaning towards fire of the five elements!"

Seeing this, the clan elder in charge of testing spiritual roots had a smile on his face.

"Ah! Good, good!"

"My son has spiritual roots, seventh-grade spiritual roots!"

Not far away, a young man saw this scene and immediately shouted with excitement and joy.

Lu Changsheng remembered him.

He was one of the immortal seedlings who came to the Lu family together in the past.

Unexpectedly, the first child of the other party actually had spiritual roots, and they were seventh-grade spiritual roots.

This luck was really good.

"Don't make a loud noise."

Fubo reminded them.

But he didn't blame them either.

The grand ceremony of testing spiritual roots continued, and during the process, an eighth-grade spiritual root was detected.

It was a child from the main branch of the Lu family.

And now, it was Lu Ping'an's turn.

As expected, just like Lu Changsheng anticipated, there was no surprise.

The crystal column had no reaction.

Not only him, but immediately after, Lu Wuyou, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Xilei were the same.

"Phew!"

Looking at the four children, none of them had spiritual roots.

Even though he already knew it in his heart and was mentally prepared, Lu Changsheng still sighed softly.

"Father, mother."

The four little ones walked over.

Because they didn't detect any spiritual roots, their little faces also showed a bit of disappointment.

They were all over five years old, almost six.

They also roughly understood what spiritual roots meant.

Although Lu Changsheng had warned them before, saying that cultivating immortality was not necessarily better than the secular world, they still relied more on their mothers in their daily lives.

Compared to Lu Changsheng, their mothers were more eager for their children to become successful.

"It's okay, most people don't have spiritual roots, if there's none, then there's none. Let's go, father will take you home to eat something delicious."

Lu Changsheng rubbed the heads of his four children and said gently.

"Mhmm."

"Daddy, I want to eat animal milk ice cream!"

Lu Wuyou and Lu Xilei, the two girls, were a bit more open-minded and smiled.

Lu Ping'an and Lu Wuyu, on the other hand, didn't take it as lightly.

The family of nine returned home.

Just as they reached the doorstep, Lu Ping'an suddenly looked up at Lu Changsheng and said, "Father, does not having spiritual roots mean that I can't become a cultivator? I also want to become a cultivator like you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng looked at his son's hopeful eyes and was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit heartbroken.

But he could only remain silent.

Without spiritual roots, one cannot cultivate.

This was the truth and iron rule of the cultivation world.

Even though he had a system by his side, he didn't dare to say that he could break this iron rule.

He wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words.

"Ping'an."

Lu Lanshu immediately looked at her son and showed a hint of severity, but her eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Father, don't be sad, Ping'an won't cultivate anymore."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping'an looked at his old father's expression, pursed his lips, and said immediately.

"Daddy, don't be sad."

Lu Wuyou, who was beside him, also said in a childish voice.

Although the little ones were still young, they were quite sensible.

Lu Changsheng looked at his sensible children and felt a sense of relief, but also a sense of guilt.

He gently touched their heads without saying a word.

The next day, Lu Changsheng rode on the Iron Feather Eagle and returned to Jiulongfang City.

"Ah, I thought that after so many years, my heart would be as solid as a rock."

Thinking of yesterday's scene, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh softly.

Thinking of this situation, which would occur every year from now on, he sighed again.

"No world is perfect."

"This is one of the cruelties of the cultivation world."

Lu Changsheng looked at the blue sky, the mountains and forests below, and exhaled a long breath, trying to vent the frustration in his chest.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed several fluctuations of aura coming from the side.

He glanced over and saw a young man of small stature, dressed in luxurious clothing, riding on a purple flying snake.

Behind him, there were three figures controlling a mass of black clouds, two of them manipulating flying magical tools, continuously attacking the young man.

It was clear that they were chasing after this young man.

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised to see this scene.

This young man should have a cultivation level in the later stage of Qi Refinement.

But facing the pursuit of five cultivators, he appeared somewhat embarrassed.

While constantly defending against the attacks coming at him, he was also able to command a swarm of golden insects to attack the five people behind him.

"Let's go!"

Lu Changsheng didn't look any longer.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!

He immediately had his Iron Feather Eagle dive down, not wanting to get involved in this kind of situation.

However...

The young man riding on the flying snake also saw Lu Changsheng and his eyes instantly lit up.

This glance actually made Lu Changsheng feel a bit uneasy.

This made him even more convinced that this young man was not ordinary.

"Fellow Daoist, meeting is fate. I'll give you a great opportunity. This is a bottle of Profound Yin True Water, a Foundation Building spiritual object that is helpful for Foundation Building!"

The young man shouted loudly at Lu Changsheng.

He directly threw a black porcelain bottle towards Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng frowned and his face darkened.

He instantly understood that the other party was trying to cause trouble for him.

But when he heard the words "Foundation Building spiritual object" and saw the bottle flying towards him, he couldn't help but be tempted and reached out to catch it.

After all, he was now at the seventh level of Qi Refinement.

He could also start considering Foundation Building.

To achieve Foundation Building, it naturally couldn't be done solely by oneself. It would be best to rely on external objects.

Ninety-nine percent of cultivators who attempt to achieve Foundation Building would use external objects to increase their chances!

Otherwise, relying solely on oneself to achieve Foundation Building would be extremely dangerous.

Among them, the most helpful thing for Foundation Building is called the Foundation Building Pill!

When attempting to achieve Foundation Building, taking a Foundation Building Pill not only stabilizes one's blood and energy, but also greatly increases one's magical power, nurtures one's divine sense, and harmonizes one's essence, energy, and spirit.

Even if the attempt to achieve Foundation Building fails, one would not suffer from the backlash of Foundation Building.

In addition to the Foundation Building Pill, there are also many Foundation Building spiritual objects that are helpful for Foundation Building.

This Profound Yin True Water is particularly helpful for the third stage of Foundation Building, the stage of magical power within the stages of blood and energy, magical power, and divine sense.

"To take or not to take, even if I don't use this Xuan Yin True Water myself, I could sell it and at least get two or three thousand spiritual stones," Lu Changsheng thought as he looked at the porcelain bottle.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Lu Changsheng immediately made a decision.

Since he had already gotten involved in this matter, even if he didn't want it, things might not be able to be resolved so easily.

Moreover, he wanted the item!

"I want the item, but I don't want to cause trouble. There's only one way," Lu Changsheng looked at the young man and the five people chasing after him with an indifferent expression.

Seeing this scene, the five people chasing the young man, even though they knew the young man was the one stirring up trouble, the leader among them didn't hesitate.

He directly said, "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, go and retrieve the Xuan Yin True Water."

"Yes, Big Brother!"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately looked at Lu Changsheng, controlled their flying magical tools, and flew straight towards the Iron Feather Eagle.

"Buzz!"

Lu Changsheng immediately activated a golden light barrier talisman.

A layer of golden light spread out, enveloping him and the Iron Feather Eagle.

The Iron Feather Eagle couldn't afford to have any accidents.

Otherwise, they still had a day's journey to the Jiulongfang Market.

Then, in his two hands, he held about ten talismans in one hand and a thick talisman with a golden brick painted on it in the other.

It was the Golden Brick Talisman treasure!

The young man in front of him and these five people were not simple, so if he was going to make a move, he had to be decisive and resolve it quickly.

"High-grade talismans, it seems like you have quite a bit of money, kid?"

"But, the things that our Kou family's Five Fiends have set their sights on, you dare to take them and aren't afraid of losing your life, but not being able to enjoy them!"

Third Brother and Fourth Brother charged towards Lu Changsheng, their faces showing a sinister smile as they spoke.

One wielded a large knife, the other wielded a large hammer, their power was extremely fierce.

The golden light barrier talisman was only a high-grade talisman, it was probably only able to withstand one or two strikes.

Looking at the incoming large knife and large hammer, Lu Changsheng's expression remained indifferent, his robe fluttered without wind, making a rustling sound, and he directly threw out a stack of talismans in his hand.

In an instant, a series of fire clouds appeared out of thin air, fire snakes, wind blades, all attacking the two people.

"Kid, with just these tricks, you want to snatch the treasure from our hands, simply..."

Third Brother and Fourth Brother, seeing this attack, remained completely calm. They formed hand seals and controlled their magical tools to protect themselves.

However, in the next moment, they saw a golden rectangular object shoot up from Lu Changsheng's hand, rapidly growing larger in the air, radiating golden light.

It emitted a thick and majestic aura like a mountain, causing their bodies to sink, as if a mountain had fallen on them, their faces couldn't help but change.

"This is... a talisman treasure!"

The two of them exclaimed in shock and anger.

They never expected that the young man they had just been chasing was so difficult to deal with, making them, the five brothers, chase after him for half a day.

On the road, another young man appeared. I thought it would be easy to deal with him, but unexpectedly, he immediately used a talisman.

This is outrageous!

Could it be that I didn't check the almanac before leaving today?

"Friend, friend, stop! It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. Consider this Foundation Building spiritual object as a gift for you!"

"Yes, yes, let's talk it out, let's talk it out!"

Old San and Old Si immediately shouted loudly.

They couldn't understand Lu Changsheng's behavior.

They couldn't understand why someone who used a talisman as soon as they made a move would be interested in a Foundation Building spiritual object.

To go to such lengths for a Foundation Building spiritual object?

Moreover...

Who doesn't use their talisman as a deterrent, and who would use it at the first sign of trouble!

Old San and Old Si were very confused.

They couldn't understand.

Not only them, but the young man and the three people on the other side were also stunned and confused when they saw this scene.

They had never seen someone act like this before.

"Too late!"

In the face of these words, Lu Changsheng simply said coldly.

Since the talisman had been used, there was no turning back!

"Old San, Old Si!"

The tall man on the black cloud on the other side urgently shouted.

He formed a hand seal and summoned a blood-colored chain, like a blood snake, shooting towards Old San and Old Si, trying to escape with them.

But the golden brick had already fallen heavily like a small golden mountain towards the two of them.

Under its spiritual pressure, the two of them had no resistance, and the blood-colored chain that came flying also faltered slightly.

"Bang!"

The golden brick fell, causing the two of them to be injured and fall from the sky.

"You killed my third and fourth brothers, today I will kill you!"

The tall man on the black cloud looked shocked and angry. He put his index and middle fingers on his mouth, bit down hard, and squeezed out a drop of thick and viscous blood from the wound.

Then, with a strong swing, a strange-shaped flying knife appeared, radiating a bloody light, and shot towards Lu Changsheng at high speed.

"Not good!"

Lu Changsheng's expression froze, knowing that this attack was not simple.

The other party wanted to take advantage of the gap caused by the talisman and kill him directly.

He immediately took out another talisman.

A top-grade talisman, the Golden Light Protection Talisman!

At the same time, he also summoned a medium-grade magic weapon shield that he had obtained from the robbery cultivator.

The earth-yellow shield was like a solid wall, extremely heavy, standing in front of him.

At the same time, Lu Changsheng controlled the golden brick talisman with his spiritual consciousness.

He made the golden brick prepare for a second attack, locking the aura of the young man on the flying snake and the three people on the black cloud.

If they wanted the treasure, but didn't want to get involved in the situation, then... killing everyone would be a perfect solution to eliminate future troubles!

With a weapon in hand, the intention to kill arises!

With the previous two experiences of killing, Lu Changsheng not only tasted the sweetness but also gained some confidence.

He was confident that as long as he didn't encounter a Foundation Building cultivator, he had no fear!

As for Foundation Building cultivators, as long as he didn't face them head-on, he could still fight!

"Poof!"

The blood-colored flying knife came at him, directly breaking the shield magic weapon that Lu Changsheng had summoned, causing his eyes to narrow.

He quickly took out five golden light barrier talismans and layered them on himself.

In a battle like this, there must be no mistakes!

"Poof poof poof!"

The blood-colored flying knife was extremely fierce. After breaking the shield magic weapon, it instantly arrived in front of Lu Changsheng, breaking through three layers of golden light barrier talismans. It was only when it faced the fourth layer that its power weakened.

"What a fierce attack!"

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but be amazed.

He didn't lose focus and controlled the golden brick that had risen into the air again, crashing down towards the four people.

"Friend, it's a misunderstanding!"

The skinny young man riding on the flying snake felt his body sink and shouted loudly.

He immediately patted the bag at his waist, and a dense swarm of black insects appeared, forming a suit of armor that enveloped his whole body, trying to escape.

At this moment, the three people on the black cloud also realized that they had lost the opportunity to kill Lu Changsheng.

They looked at each other, simultaneously formed hand seals, and turned the black cloud under their feet into blood color, forcibly breaking free from the oppressive power of the golden brick, trying to escape from its range.

"Hmm!?"

Lu Changsheng didn't expect that all four of them had such means.

They were indeed extraordinary.

He immediately took out three talismans and activated them.

A top-grade talisman - Soul Shocking Talisman!

A top-grade talisman - Thunder Light Talisman!

A top-grade talisman - Heaven's Net Earth's Web Talisman!

As the three talismans were activated, a dull sound like thunder resounded in the void.

Causing people to feel uneasy and fearful.

Immediately after, a thunderous light burst forth in the direction where the three people in the blood cloud wanted to escape, blocking their retreat.

And a large black net that covered all directions formed around them, trapping the four of them and closing in on them!
