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

Chapter 931: Chapter 335: Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu Return Home!

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

Today was the Foundation Establishment Ceremony of Matriarch Lu Miaoyun of the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family.

Although they decided to keep everything simple, without too much pomp,

still, it was his mother’s Foundation Establishment Ceremony, so Lu Yun had spared no effort in making it a lively event.

Biyun Villa’s grand hall.

Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoyun, and the Fourth Elder sat in the primary seats.

“Congratulations to Mother, to the Lady for breaking through to Foundation Establishment, fortune as vast as the Eastern Sea, longevity like that of Southern Mountain!”

“Congratulations, Lady! The Patriarch’s Lady!”

“Wishing the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family climbs to new heights!”

One after another, Lu Family Disciples and guests presented gifts to Lu Miaoyun, expressing their congratulations in a joyful and festive manner.

Many other Family Forces and guests, through this Foundation Establishment Ceremony, became aware of Lu Miaoyun’s situation.

They learned that in her earlier years, she was merely an ordinary legitimate daughter of the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain, with mediocre Spiritual Root Talent.

Now, seeing her breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, they immediately realized she had been supported by Lu Changsheng.

This had caused the reputation of Lu Ancestor, known for his deep loyalty and affection, yet indulgent in old affections, to evoke the admiration of many.

After all, such an opportunity for Foundation Establishment was rarely bestowed upon someone with previously ordinary talents instead of the genius children of the Family, the Foundation Establishment seeds.

This incident led many Family Forces to speculate that Lu Changsheng must possess multiple Foundation Establishment Pills, which was why he was so generous.

Many came offering gifts with indirect inquiries, indicating that if Lu Changsheng had more Foundation Establishment Pills, they would be willing to purchase them at a high price.

After all, although there was hope to buy Foundation Establishment Pills in the Three Great Immortal Cities, it was not so easy.

They would have to wait until the pills entered the market.

But with long distances to travel, most Families dared not carry huge sums of money to the Immortal Cities to bid on Foundation Establishment Pills.

So if Lu Changsheng had Foundation Establishment Pills, even at a premium price, they were interested.

Faced with this situation, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel both amused and bemused.

It had never occurred to him that people would think Lu Miaoyun could only break through with a Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, this was normal.

He then tacitly confirmed the matter, claiming that years ago, he had gone to Azure Phoenix Immortal City and acquired that single Foundation Establishment Pill, without any others.

…

After the ceremony was over.

Lu Family Mansion.

“Venture into the Purple Shadow Secret Realm?”

Lu Changsheng frowned upon hearing his son Lu Quanzhen’s words.

This year, Lu Quanzhen had mostly been stationed at White Tiger Mountain.

He hadn’t expected that upon returning home for the ceremony, Quanzhen would express his desire to enter the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.

He was well aware of the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.

A Secret Realm held by several Immortal Sects of Jiang Country, filled with chances and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

It would open once every thirty years.

Years ago, when the lifespan of the previous generation’s ancestor of Qingzhu Mountain was running out, Lu Yuanzhong managed to break through to Foundation Establishment thanks largely to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.

Even the Foundation Establishment Elixir he had obtained from Meng Xiaochan had come from within that Secret Realm.

Lu Changsheng had long since been aware of the opening of the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.

But he had no intentions himself.

After all, such Secret Realms were filled with danger.

That year, when Lu Yuanshan of Qingzhu Mountain had taken two elite members of the Lu Family there, Yuanshan came back with a severed hand, and one of the Lu Family Disciples was buried within the Realm.

The father of Xia Zhiyue had also gone to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.

Although he had survived and emerged, he was ambushed halfway through his journey and ultimately perished.

“Quanzhen, you only need to concentrate on cultivating peacefully. In two more years, you can attempt Foundation Establishment.”

“At that time, after you have broken through, if you wish to gain experience from traveling abroad, I will not stop you.”

“Even if you fail to break through to Foundation Establishment, I still possess Foundation Establishment Elixir and Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects. There’s no need for you to risk entering the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.”

Lu Changsheng spoke seriously, not willing to let his son take risks in the Secret Realm.

“Father…”

Lu Quanzhen had anticipated his father’s refusal.

Compared with most cultivators, his own father was excessively cautious.

He suddenly looked up at Lu Changsheng, his expression earnest, and said, “Father, Quanzhen knows you wish only the best for me.”

“But these are experiences that, if I don’t go through now, I will have to face in the future.”

“This world is vast, I want to step out of Bihu Mountain, out of Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, to see the whole Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm!”

“I also made a promise with my uncle that within a hundred years, I would break through Core Formation and condense a Superior Gold Core.”

“Even if I have the opportunity by my side to break through Foundation Establishment with ease, continuing like this, I will definitely not be able to achieve Core Formation within a hundred years… my only choice is to strive!”

“The Immortal Path is all about struggle, daring to struggle and being able to compete. My journey to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm is not only for the chance but also about the willingness to compete.”

“This is the first step that truly puts me on the Immortal Path, to witness the harrowing and bloody realities of the Immortal World!”

“If I cannot compete and emerge victorious within such a Qi Refinement Secret Realm, how can I aspire to the Great Dao in the future and achieve Core Formation by the age of a hundred!”

Lu Quanzhen looked calm and serious as he spoke.

Although his father rarely displayed a casual indifference outwardly, simply desiring an ordinary and stable life,

he knew that his father was not as simple as he seemed.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have reached this point, achieving such success!

Therefore, with these words, he believed that his father would surely understand the reasoning within.

“Sigh…”

Lu Changsheng felt a headache coming on as he listened to his son’s flurry of words.

Indeed, as Lu Quanzhen said, to achieve something significant in cultivation, one must struggle!

It was nearly impossible to cultivate successfully and steadily without contention!

Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, avoiding initial bottlenecks, there was still a need for Wealth Companion Dharma Land!

Unless one had a system like he did.

Cultivation is like crossing a river; a race with thousands of horses competing for the sails.

As long as there’s desire for the Immortal Path, this competition in life cannot cease.

Not to mention anything else, his good friend Li Feiyu was one example.

“Quanzhen, the Immortal Path is fraught with difficulties, and every time the Purple Shadow Secret Realm is opened, countless enter, but less than half make it out alive.”

Although his son had such determination and was willing to work hard to that extent, it was a good thing.
