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

Chapter 868: Chapter 316: The Nine Netherhound Breakthrough, Li Feiyu Returns!_4

“`

This Spirit Stone was obtained after he broke through to Foundation Establishment and took revenge by killing Zhu He, then selling off his possessions for Spirit Stones.

But he knew that compared to the opportunity he had obtained, these Spirit Stones were hardly worth mentioning.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng understood his friend’s character and nodded in agreement.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of the rumors about Azure Phoenix Immortal’s injuries and asked aloud, “Feiyu, I’ve heard Azure Phoenix Immortal was gravely injured; is that true or false?”

...
“Could the Immortal have been injured while exploring this Ancient Relic Site?”

Lu Changsheng asked in such a manner.

“The news might be true, or it might be a deliberate release by Azure Phoenix Immortal City.”

“I previously swore a Heart Demon Oath not to speak of what is within the relic site,” Li Feiyu spoke in a low voice.

“Azure Phoenix Immortal City deliberately released it.”

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that these words carried a more intriguing implication.

He pondered and said, “I remember Azure Phoenix Immortal isn’t young anymore, right?”

“Indeed, the City Lord was already famous two hundred years ago; by now, he should be three to four hundred years old.”

“Therefore, there are rumors that the City Lord has reached the Core Formation Peak long ago and has been out of the public eye for these years, all in pursuit of the Nascent Soul,” Li Feiyu said with a touch of emotion.

From a Loose Cultivator to his current status, aiming for the Nascent Soul, Azure Phoenix Immortal could be considered legendary!

“Three to four hundred years old…”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Once a Nascent Soul Cultivator exceeds three hundred and fifty years old, the probability of forming a Nascent Soul significantly decreases.

If they exceed four hundred years, there is essentially no hope of forming a Nascent Soul.

Azure Phoenix Immortal’s age makes it impossible to delay any longer, and it’s likely that all his actions in recent years have been driven by the pursuit of the Nascent Soul.

“Attaining the Nascent Soul is not easy. Our Jiang Country Cultivation Realm seems to only have the Heavenly Sword Sect with a Fourth-order Spirit Vein.”

Lu Changsheng took a light sip of his drink and continued to speak.

He had discussed this issue with Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue before.

He knew that in the entire Jiang Country, only the Heavenly Sword Sect had a Fourth-order Spirit Vein capable of nurturing a Nascent Soul’s foundation!

Even Qingyun Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Spirit Taming Sect only had Third-Order Top Grade Spirit Veins.

And certainly, the Heavenly Sword Sect would not lend their Spirit Vein to Azure Phoenix Immortal for his breakthrough.

“That’s right, even after so many years of cultivation, Azure Phoenix Immortal City’s Spirit Vein is only a Third-Order Superior Grade, far from reaching the Fourth-order.”

“Moreover, Azure Phoenix Immortal City, located near the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and on the border of Jiang Country and Yue Country, is a place neither side wants the City Lord to succeed in forming a Nascent Soul,” Li Feiyu shook his head and said.

He had been won over by the various deeds and personal charisma of Azure Phoenix Immortal in his early years.

Now that he had become a member of Azure Phoenix Immortal City and had contact with this legendary figure, he held even greater admiration.

“Tsk tsk tsk.”

Lu Changsheng clicked his tongue in wonder, thinking to himself just how difficult it was to break through to the Nascent Soul.

As a Loose Cultivator in Jiang Country, break through to Core Formation is possible.

But to break through to the Nascent Soul, without going to another country or seeking opportunities abroad, there was virtually no chance.

In the future, forming his own Nascent Soul would also pose the same issue.

However, this was still too far away; the matter of Core Formation hadn’t even been decided upon yet.

“Feiyu, now that you’ve joined Azure Phoenix Immortal City, do you plan to return afterward?” Lu Changsheng looked at Li Feiyu and asked.

“Yes, once I’ve settled my family’s situation back home, I’ll go back,” Li Feiyu said, his expression somewhat grave.

Pursuing the Great Dao inevitably meant leaving behind many emotional ties.

His return this time was intended to take care of all his family matters.

“Okay, let me know when you’re heading to Ruyi Prefecture. I’ll go with you,” Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

The Lu Family now also had a certain influence in Ruyi Prefecture.

Moreover, his children were related by marriage to Li Feiyu’s children, so it was the right time to visit.

“Mm.”

Li Feiyu nodded in response.

“`

…

Li Feiyu had stayed on Bi Lake Mountain for three days before he set out for Ruyi Prefecture with Lu Changsheng.

Qu Zhenzhen, having completed the ritual refinement of the Auspicious Tree, could not leave Bi Lake Mountain once she began to cultivate the Heavenly Longevity Technique.

Thus, accompanying them was also to prepare for a later visit to Zhoushan Mansion to pay homage to her parents.

And as it happened, Lu Wangshu had heard about it and was curious to see what his secular family home was like.

In this way, Lu Changsheng, along with his wife, children, and Li Feiyu, arrived in Ruyi Prefecture.

The arrival of these individuals in Ruyi Prefecture caused no small stir for the Li family and Hong Yi.

After all, Li Feiyu, who had been away for more than twenty years, had returned!

Li Feiyu’s wife and children were somewhat incredulous upon seeing him and hesitated to recognize him.

“Sigh.”

Lu Changsheng, seeing such a scene, sighed inwardly.

In the face of such a situation, Li Feiyu simply entrusted his family to Lu Changsheng, hoping he would help take care of them in the future.

He then left his father and brothers some Elixir Medicines, Talisman Scriptures, and a basic Cultivation Technique.

Upon learning of Li Feiyu’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, Hong Yi felt a mix of emotions.

He thought back to the time when the six of them had taken the Immortal Sects’ assessment together, and now four had achieved Foundation Establishment!

They had become lofty Foundation Building Great Cultivators!

Although Han Lin had not made a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment,

he was nonetheless far superior to him in status, thanks to his Artifact Refining skills and his identity as an Immortal Sect disciple.

“If I had focused on cultivation instead of getting involved in the affairs of power, might I have had the hope of reaching Foundation Establishment?”

Hong Yi mused to himself.

He suspected that Zhao Qingqing’s breakthrough had something to do with Lu Changsheng.

Now, after conversing and learning that Li Feiyu’s Foundation Establishment owed much to Lu Changsheng,

he couldn’t help but think that with his relationship with Lu Changsheng, had he seriously cultivated earlier, perhaps Foundation Establishment would have been possible for him.

But after some deliberation, he realized he simply did not possess Li Feiyu’s determination to forsake everything for the sake of Cultivation!

Even now, at the Ninth Level, given a Foundation Establishment Elixir, his chances of making that breakthrough were virtually nil.

…

Black Cloud Mountain Range.

Deep within a mining vein.

“Miss Lu, why bother?”

“Although Bi Lake Mountain offers good terms, to my knowledge, you’re hardly valued and your prospects for Foundation Establishment are slim.”

“If you agree to cooperate with White Tiger Mountain, my Zhao Family is willing to share ten percent of the profits from this Spirit Stone mine with you.”

“Furthermore, if you are willing to marry into my Zhao Family, not only will you not lack for resources, but you will also get a share of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects in the future!”

The Zhao Family elder tried to persuade Lu Ruyi, who was bound before him.

He had not expected the matter with the mining vein to be detected so quickly by this young girl.

She had stealthily infiltrated with the help of an invisibility Talisman and discovered the Spirit Stone mine concealed by a Formation.

“Elder Zhao, if you release me now, I can overlook this incident as if it never happened.”

“Otherwise, should anything happen to me, once my Family learns of it and investigates, the Zhao Family will not be able to escape responsibility.”

Lu Ruyi said coldly.

Though she had an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root and her mother was a concubine, not garnering much attention in the family,

at least she had a good family environment without any intrigue or sordid schemes.

Her brothers, like Lu Ping’an and Lu Xianzhi, took good care of her as their sister.

And not only did the Family provide plentiful resources for her and her siblings, but they also offered a variety of choices for lifestyles, which was a hundred times better than other families.

She knew well that, in most families with her level of talent, the ultimate fate was alliance through marriage to another Family.

But in the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family, she had the right to choose!

Especially now, when many smaller families in the surrounding area took pride in marrying into the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family!

She really didn’t hold White Tiger Mountain’s Zhao Family in high regard!

“Miss Lu, I urge you to think it over carefully.”

“After all, Demon Beasts frequently roam the Black Cloud Mountain Range. It would be quite normal for you to encounter danger here and be devoured by a Demon Beast.”

Seeing his polite entreaties fall on deaf ears, the Zhao Family elder said with a cold voice.

He then instructed two of the family’s young people to keep a close watch on Lu Ruyi.
