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

Chapter 751: Chapter 279: The Auction Begins, Heavenly Longevity Technique Mastered!_3

With the auction fully concluded, Lu Changsheng also prepared to return to Bi Lake Mountain with his wife and children.

“Father…”

At this time, Lu Quanzhen expressed to Lu Changsheng that he wished to leave home to gain experience and venture out into the world.

“To go out and gain experience?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly upon hearing this.

He had long known that this son of his harbored a desire to travel and adventure.

...
If it weren’t for the establishment of Bi Lake Mountain and being called back home by himself, he probably would have gone out long ago.

“Wait until you break through to the Sixth Level Energy Refinement.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son in front of him, speaking after a slight pause.

He could understand his children wanting to leave home for experience, not willing to settle within the family.

After all, most members of big families were clear about one thing—if they settled within the family, without venturing out for experience, it was highly unlikely to achieve Foundation Establishment in their lifetimes unless they had exceptional talent.

Even though the conditions at Bi Lake Mountain were far superior to those of Qingzhu Mountain, Hundred Birds Lake, Wugong Ridge, and even the Yu Shui Xu Family and other family powers, they still couldn’t train many of their children to achieve Foundation Establishment.

At most, they could train them up to the Energy Refinement Late Stage; to establish a foundation would still be up to them.

And Lu Quanzhen obviously saw this point.

He knew his own Spiritual Root was not good, just an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root, so he had planned his life’s path early on.

However, in Lu Changsheng’s view, a Cultivation Level at the Fifth Level Energy Refinement was still a bit too low.

When he reached the Sixth Level, if his son still wanted to go out, he would give him a Life-saving Spirit Talisman.

“Many thanks, Father!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Quanzhen immediately responded with respect.

He knew that if his father agreed to it, then the matter was settled.

“Use this time to prepare your mother mentally, don’t just run off without saying a word.”

Lu Changsheng said as he patted his son’s shoulder.

The fledgling eagle must spread its wings; if this son did not have his own opinions and the desire to venture out, in his heart, he would have actually been inclined to hand over the position of Family Head to him.

Given the personalities of Lu Ping’an, Lu Xianzhi, and Lu Yun, they did not quite suit the role of Bi Lake Mountain Family Head.

“Father, you know that if I tell Mother, she definitely won’t agree, so I can only trouble you with this.”

Lu Quanzhen, with a handsome face, showed a helpless and bitter smile.

“Sigh, just be a bit more accommodating to your mother, that’s all, don’t constantly avoid her. The more you avoid her, the more she’ll worry. If it really comes to it, just tell her that on this trip to gain experience, you’ll also keep an eye out for a woman you love.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head as he spoke.

He too had often been troubled by Qu Zhenzhen urging Lu Quanzhen to get married.

“Yes, I understand, Father.”

Lu Quanzhen smiled, making the corners of his eyes seem more elongated.

His facial features were similar to Lu Changsheng’s by seventy percent, but his eyebrows and eyes were inherited from his mother, especially when he smiled.

…

After returning to Bi Lake Mountain with his wives and children, Lu Changsheng briefly dealt with some family affairs and his children’s situations before returning to Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.

“My lord.”

Xu Ruyin, in a flaring red dress with a fine and stunning face, immediately greeted Lu Changsheng with great respect upon seeing him.

“Mhm, I encountered your grandfather at the auction; he’s very worried about your situation.”

Lu Changsheng said with a light smile.

“Grandfather…”

Xu Ruyin’s delicate body trembled violently when she heard this.

Having been in Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven for so long, what concerned her the most was the situation back home.

She said with downcast eyes, “Thank you, my lord, for informing me.”

“When you left home, did you say anything about when you would return?”

Lu Changsheng’s voice was gentle as he wrapped his arms around her slender, snake-like waist and drew her into his embrace, asking softly.

The action and his concerned tone made Xu Ruyin’s heart tremble.

If it wasn’t for knowing another side of Lu Changsheng, she would have found herself unable to resist falling for him in such close quarters.

Sometimes, she even wondered if the outcome would be different if she hadn’t resorted to stealing and instead had chosen to marry Lu Changsheng proactively.

“Nothing…”

Xu Ruyin tensed slightly, her delicate body leaning obediently against Lu Changsheng’s chest, letting his strong arms enfold her.

She knew that to win Lu Changsheng’s favor, she had to appear docile and obedient in front of him.

“You have a life token, a soul lamp, and such items at home, don’t you?”

Lu Changsheng sat down on a bamboo chair nearby, embracing her graceful figure and twirling a strand of her fiery red, crystal-clear hair between two fingers.

The silky-smooth texture of Xu Ruyin’s hair was very comforting to touch, something he often played with.

Moreover, over the course of more than a month under his tutelage, she had gradually begun to nuzzle his palm on her own initiative, like a docile kitten, giving him an intense sense of achievement.

It could only be said that bullying women was also in a man’s nature.

“Yes…”

Xu Ruyin murmured softly.

Despite the humiliation and the control over her movements now, she sadly found herself gradually becoming accustomed to it.

“Since you have a life token and a soul lamp, your family won’t worry.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly.

After teasing Xu Ruyin for a while, he entered the Changsheng Hall’s cave dwelling and began to craft a Spiritual Artifact embryo for Lu Miaoge.

…

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

On this day, as usual, Lu Miaoyun came to the back mountain of the Lingxiu Cliff.

She took out the Formation Command given to her by Ling Zixiao, stepped into the formation, and looked at the Luminous Treasure Tree before her.

“Heavenly Longevity Technique, refine!”

Lu Miaoyun sat cross-legged in front of the Luminous Treasure Tree, her hands forming seals, using her internal Spiritual Power to refine the Luminous Treasure Tree in front of her.

To say it was refining was actually more akin to merging.

Because after more than a year of refinement, she had already established a connection with the Luminous Treasure Tree, the two almost becoming one.

She could even vaguely sense the emotions of the Luminous Treasure Tree.

Now the task was to completely refine the Luminous Treasure Tree, making it her Life-bound Spiritual Root, merging completely with her.

As she refined the Luminous Treasure Tree, a surge of Qi from the tree rushed into Lu Miaoyun’s body.

“Hmm, what’s this?”

Lu Miaoyun suddenly felt her Spiritual Power uncontrollably pouring out of her, being devoured by the Luminous Treasure Tree.

In the past, it was always her nourishing the Luminous Treasure Tree with her Spiritual Power.

But this time, the Luminous Treasure Tree actively devoured her Spiritual Power, causing her complexion to turn pale.

Lu Miaoyun, realizing something, immediately took out several Spirit Stones from her Storage Bag to recover her Spiritual Power.

At the same time, she poured out a bottle of Spiritual Liquid for the Luminous Treasure Tree.

“Buzz—”

Just as Lu Miaoyun’s Spiritual Power was nearly drained by the Luminous Treasure Tree, a mysterious and subtle vibration surged into her heart, making her whole person feel light and clear.

“Whoo, whoo, whoo!”

A torrent of Spiritual Mechanism emerged from the Luminous Treasure Tree, enveloping Lu Miaoyun completely, beckoning countless nature’s spiritual energies to roll towards her and enter her body.

“Boom!”

In an instant, Lu Miaoyun’s body shook violently, and a breeze swept around her.

The bottleneck she had faced for years, from the Sixth Level Energy Refinement to the Seventh Level Energy Refinement, was broken in that moment.

But it didn’t stop there; a rich essence of plants and trees, the Origin Source from the Luminous Treasure Tree, continued to pour into her body.
