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

Chapter 998: Chapter 356: Five Elements Royal Family, Third-Order Puppet!_2 Chapter 998: Chapter 356: Five Elements Royal Family, Third-Order Puppet!_2 Lu Changsheng sipped his tea, reflecting aloud.

As far as he knew, the Five Elements Royal Family was a Nascent Soul force that had risen to power in the last thousand years.

Initially a small Energy Refining family, their ancestors’ tomb miraculously emitted a golden light, and the family produced a peerless genius with the “Five Elements Physique.”

It was this individual’s meteoric rise that transformed the previously obscure Wang Family into a Nascent Soul Noble Family!

The words “Five Elements” in the Five Elements Royal Family were derived from the Taoist title of the family’s patriarch.

But with the passing of this patriarch, the once-flourishing Five Elements Royal Family began to decline.

After all, not every family had the foundation of beasts like the Beast Taming Xu Family, with Third Rank Demon Beasts, Dao Soldiers, and so on.

The Five Elements Royal Family had risen too quickly!

It was all supported by a single patriarch.

And the patriarch’s cultivation techniques, heritage magical treasures and so on, could only unleash their full potential in the hands of someone with the Five Elements Physique.

Considering how rare the Five Elements Physique was, it was highly unlikely that the Wang Family would be fortunate enough to produce another such talent.

Therefore, after the patriarch’s passing, although the Wang Family still had Nascent Soul immortals in its ranks, there was no one who could hold the family together.

They could only rely on their ancestors’ legacy and slowly deplete it, maintaining the status quo, which led the family down a path of continual decline.

Now, the dealings between the Beast Taming Xu Family and the Five Elements Royal Family made Lu Changsheng feel that the Wang Family was indeed no longer viable.

Otherwise, they would not have allowed the Elder Ancestor of the Xu family to block their door and shatter their sect’s gates without any substantial family heritage or techniques at their disposal.

If the Five Elements Royal Family could not produce a figure who could restore its former glory within a hundred years, it was feared that it might fall from the ranks of the great clans after another hundred years.

…

After hearing about the affairs between the Beast Taming Xu Family and the Five Elements Royal Family, Lu Changsheng asked Lu Miaoyun to pay more attention to news of this sort when she had free time.

If something happened to these top-tier families, it might affect his own family, so he wanted to be kept informed.

Lu Changsheng then went to check on his concubine, Xia Zhiyue, about her progress in Foundation Establishment and asked his son, Lu Yun, about the family business’s relocation plans.

Lu Yun told Lu Changsheng that the family business had already planned the relocation and could move to White Tiger Mountain at any time.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Changsheng instructed Lu Xianzhi to establish a puppet subsidiary on White Tiger Mountain to conduct a pilot test.

If there were no issues, they would start the full relocation after Lu Ping’an had made his Foundation Establishment breakthrough.

“Yes, Father,” Lu Yun nodded in response.

Lu Changsheng continued to inquire about the family, particularly about his children.

It was possible that due to situations like Li Feiyu’s, many of his children were inclined to leave home and seek their fortunes through trials and tribulations.

For example, their daughter, Lu Ruyi, after the White Tiger Mountain events, had resigned from her position, fully devoted herself to cultivation, and after breaking through to the Seventh Level of Energy Refinement, she also applied to go out and seek her own path.

“Sigh!”

Hearing what Lu Yun had said, Lu Changsheng let out a sigh of relief and said, “Yun’er, as for the resources for the family’s cultivation, you may consider increasing them slightly according to the situation.”

“Also, you can let the family members know that the family currently has a way to obtain Foundation Establishment Elixirs, and as soon as they can refine their energy to the peak, they can apply for a Foundation Establishment Elixir.”

Lu Changsheng said so.

Previously, the family had always provided encouragement in terms of procreation.

As for cultivation, the family benefits were good, but the incentives were moderate.

Now that the family was not lacking Foundation Establishment Elixirs, Lu Changsheng felt that they could provide more incentive in this area.

As long as his children were ambitious enough, even with a Lower Grade Spiritual Root, he was willing to give them Foundation Establishment Elixirs to attempt Foundation Establishment!

“A channel for Foundation Establishment Elixirs…”

Lu Yun was shocked to hear this.

After Lu Changsheng had him deliver a Foundation Establishment Elixir to Qingzhu Mountain, he guessed that his father must still have more.

He never realized his father actually had a channel for Foundation Establishment Elixirs within the family!

“Father, I think such information should not be announced to the family. If word gets out, it might cause trouble.”

“If there are brothers or sisters who break through to the late stage of Energy Refinement, I will speak to them about this matter. What do you think?”

Lu Yun said so.

“That’s fine, you can arrange as you see fit,” Lu Changsheng nodded.

He seldom interfered in family affairs.

He only occasionally provided a direction on major matters, leaving the specifics to his children to handle.

After chatting with his son, Lu Yun, Lu Changsheng went to visit his other children. After inquiring about their well-being, Lu Changsheng let Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaoyun know, and then he went to Qingyun Sect to visit Zhao Qingqing.

Now upon arriving at Qingyun Sect, for some reason, Lu Changsheng felt somewhat apprehensive in his heart.

He was afraid of walking around Qingyun Sect with Zhao Qingqing and running into Xiao Xiyue’s master, Caiyun True Immortal.

After seeing Zhao Qingqing, Lu Changsheng could tell that she was indeed carrying the breath of life in her belly, and he was overjoyed.

He stayed at Qingyun Sect with Zhao Qingqing for half a month.

After leaving Qingyun Sect, Lu Changsheng thought he should visit Xiao Xiyue at the Luoyun Mountain Range.

“Sigh, these are just a few who are away, if I had wives and dao companions spread across the five lakes and four seas, I’m afraid I’d be too busy to manage.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but lament.

He planned to go home and, at that time, bring his daughter Lu Wangshu with him.

Although this daughter was like a third wheel, affecting his own practice of the Sun Moon Samsara Technique with Xiao Xiyue,

the mother and daughter had always been apart more than together, and he still hoped that they could spend more time together.

…

[Congratulations to the host for the birth of 300 descendants, you have earned one lottery draw]

When Lu Changsheng had just returned to Bihu Lake Mountain, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

“Three hundred already?”

A hint of emotion appeared in Lu Changsheng’s eyes.

Back when there were two hundred members in the younger generation, the number of his own children also happened to be two hundred.

But now his own children numbered only two hundred eighteen, while the grandchildren had reached three hundred.

As time went on, this number would become increasingly divergent.

After all, he had been most prolific in creating children during the first twenty years.

It was also these children who mostly consisted of mortals.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not visited the Ruyi County Lu Family in quite some time.

“Sigh.”

Lu Changsheng sighed, and directly returned to Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.

The environment within the cave heaven was incredibly beautiful at that time.

Due to the fact that Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge rarely cultivated, only Ling Zixiao and Bai Ling’s practice consumed spiritual energy, causing spiritual mist to linger around the Spirit Spring, like a fairyland on earth.

Beside the medicine garden were two log cabins, but Lu Ping’an spent most of his time stationed on White Tiger Mountain.

Lu Quanzhen had already gone out and left Bihu Lake Mountain some time ago.

“System, lottery draw.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the medicine garden, which showed no change in appearance, and silently thought.

Immediately, the lottery wheel appeared, and the golden light spun.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Third-Order Puppet!]

[The reward has been issued to the System Space, the host can check it at any time]

“Hmm, a Third-Order Puppet?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows raised.

He was naturally more than familiar with puppets.

Not only had he crafted many Second Rank Puppets himself, but the main profit of the family also came from puppets.

However, the highest-grade puppet he had been in contact with up to now was only a Second-order Superior.

Since high-tier puppet materials were scarce and hard to find, and the production was very troublesome and time-consuming,

he had so far crafted only one Second-order Superior Puppet.

With regard to Third-Order Puppets, even Lu Changsheng had only heard of them and had not come into contact with one.

Puppet Masters were not as popular as formations, pills, talismans, or artifacts; whether the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm even had a Third-order Puppet Master was another matter.

“It is said that some Third-Order Puppets can act like Dao Soldiers, executing certain orders without the need for full control by divine sense. I wonder if the system-made puppets are this kind of top-grade puppet.”

Full of anticipation, Lu Changsheng looked towards the System Space.

[Puppet: Thousand Faces Puppet Fox]

[Grade: Third-Order]

[Description: The heartwork of the Puppet Spirit Sect’s Qianji True Immortal, a puppet designed after the Thousand Faces Demon Fox. Furthermore, the soul of his wife was infused into it, granting the puppet simple cognitive thinking and maximizing its effectiveness and abilities.]

“Ah???”

The introduction of the puppet in front of him startled Lu Changsheng.

Although he expected high-tier puppets would certainly be extraordinary,

and the products from the system were usually impressive,

this was truly…somewhat weird, wasn’t it?

Creating a puppet modeled after the Thousand Faces Demon Fox was understandable to Lu Changsheng.

Most puppets do take the form of demon beasts.

For instance, using the complete skeleton of a demon beast to craft a puppet would generally attempt to replicate the original form of the demon beast, optimizing the puppet’s combat capability and functional efficiency.

But what was this about infusing his wife’s soul into it?

Was such a high price really necessary to give a puppet a certain level of simple consciousness and thought?

“Retrieve!”

Lu Changsheng was indeed curious to see what was so impressive about this Third-Order Puppet.
