Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 270: Chapter 132: Breakthrough in Cultivation Level, Spiritual Root Promotion!_1

Qu Changge and the man in black armor walked through Qingzhu Mountain.

The two seemed invisible, unperceived by the Lu Family’s watching disciples.

Following the blood-guiding snake, Qu Changge arrived at White Deer Mountain Villa.

He immediately saw a group of the Lu Family’s people, picking up their children from school.

From the crowd, he instantly spotted a woman in her twenties, with a gentle and beautiful face, wearing a pink and white dress.

The woman was holding a child, walking alongside a man in his twenties wearing a blue robe.

There were also eight or nine children following them, chatting and laughing.

...
Even though it had been ten years since they last met, Qu Changge recognized at a glance that this woman in the pink and white dress, with her gentle and dazzling face, was his own sister, Qu Zhenzhen.

“Zhenzhen!”

He called out in his heart.

But he didn’t make a sound.

Fearing to disturb her peace.

“Who would’ve thought, the once little girl has now become a mother.”

Qu Changge watched Qu Zhenzhen holding a child, chatting and laughing with the man, and Talking gently with the children nearby, his deep, silent eyes revealing a mix of happiness, relief, and heaviness, as well as timidity and confusion.

He could tell that his sister was doing well here.

Not only did her face carry a joyful and blissful expression, but she had also set foot on the path of cultivation.

However, her cultivation level was somewhat low, only at the Fourth Level Energy Refinement.

Then, his gaze shifted to Lu Changsheng beside her.

He knew this must be his brother-in-law.

As for his first impression of his brother-in-law, he found him quite favorable.

Firstly because he erected a monument for their parents and renovated the Qu Residence.

Furthermore, his appearance was handsome, matching his sister well.

While speaking with his sister and the children, his demeanor was gentle, showing the attitude of a husband and father.

He took a glance at Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level.

He found that he couldn’t discern Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level at all.

He did not care much about this.

After all, the Cultivation World had many techniques and treasures to conceal one’s cultivation level and spiritual power.

Having such a treasure indicated that his brother-in-law must hold a decent status and identity within the family.

He didn’t use any spells to probe, either.

Lest Lu Changsheng sense his presence.

“Are all these children Zhenzhen’s?”

Qu Changge turned his gaze toward the groups of children beside the couple, his heart skipping a beat.

The children were mostly five or six years old, the oldest no more than eight or nine.

He remembered that it had only been a total of ten years since he left home.

In ten years, his sister couldn’t possibly have so many children, could she?

The next moment, he looked carefully.

He could feel a blood connection only with the infant Qu Zhenzhen was holding, as well as with an eight- or nine-year-old boy and a six- or seven-year-old girl, which made him feel a kinship as their uncle.

He knew only these three were his sister’s children.

Seeing there were only three, he nodded slightly.

If she had given birth to ten children in ten years, he feared he might have had thoughts of drawing a sword.

“Only this child has a Spiritual Root, huh.”

Qu Changge’s eyes fell on the three children to whom he felt related by blood, focusing on Lu Quanzhen.

Qu Zhenzhen had given birth to four children.

Among them, the first child, Lu Quanzhen, and the third child, Lu Caizhen, possessed a Spiritual Root.

However, Lu Caizhen was still not of schooling age and was playing at home.

“I wonder what kind of Spiritual Root this child has.”

Qu Changge thought to himself.

Throughout these years, although he had been constantly forced to cultivate in the darkness, he had also acquired a general understanding of the Cultivation World.

He knew that compared to the secular world, the Cultivation World was even more brutal.

A stark world of survival of the fittest, selection of the superior and elimination of the inferior.

If his nephew’s Spiritual Root was mediocre, he would face many hardships when he began cultivating as he grew up.

“Sigh.”

Qu Changge sighed.

His heart had become numb and silent over the years.

But at that moment, he couldn’t help feeling sentimental.

He was not only worried about his sister’s life but also, by extension, concerned about his nephew’s situation.

He shook his head slightly, choosing not to dwell further on these thoughts.

Aware of his current situation, how could he afford to care about others?

Watching Qu Zhenzhen and others chat and laugh as they gradually moved away, he closed his eyes.

“Let’s go.”

Qu Changge reopened his eyes, determination shining within them.

He turned and walked toward the exit of Qingzhu Mountain.

Now that he had seen his sister and knew she was living well, he felt at ease.

He was acutely aware of his current circumstances.

If he had too much contact with his sister, he would only bring harm upon her.

What he needed to do now was to live well, strive to survive, and improve himself.

Until he possessed the strength to control his own destiny.

No matter how dangerous the future might be, whether it was fortune or calamity, this was his only choice, his only path!

Just as his master had said.

In this world, only one’s own strength is eternal!

A breeze blew through, rustling the bamboo, causing a sense of utmost comfort and peace.

Qu Zhenzhen, who was talking to Lu Changsheng, seemed to sense something.

She suddenly turned her head, looking in the direction of Qu Changge.

But there was nothing there.

“Zhenzhen, what’s the matter?”

Lu Changsheng asked Qu Zhenzhen.

“Nothing.”

Qu Zhenzhen gently shook her head, dismissing the indistinct feeling.

…

Lu Changsheng was unaware of Qu Changge’s visit.

His daily life continued as usual: cultivating, making talismans, and spending time with his wife and children.

There was just one more thing he did – refining the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi.

Indeed, the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi, a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, proved to be a hundred times harder to refine than the Black Dragon Magical Bead had been.

Even with the Profound Origin Bead in his possession, and spending one or two hours a day on its refinement, it would probably take three to five years.

Although this period was long, he was very much looking forward to the effects of fully refining the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi and integrating it into his body.
