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

Chapter 2540: Chapter 829: Star King: Why the Double Standard? (Part 3)

Originally, he should have sent his son, Lu Minghuang, to the Five Poisons Cult to meet Nangong Mili.

However, because of the matters concerning the Starry Sky Sea and the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, it kept getting delayed.

”Prepare for a bit, and we’ll set off later.”

Lu Changsheng spoke, and then the Michen Banner appeared in his hand as he proceeded to Mengxi Island to fetch Meng Xiaochan.

...

Over these years, Meng Xiaochan has been cultivating on Mengxi Island with her daughter, Lu Mengchan.

Originally, Lu Mengchan wanted to reside at Bi Lake Mountain with Lu Linghe, Lu Baixi, and others.

But her cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and she was at a critical juncture in her cultivation, gradually preparing for the Core Formation.

In the course of cultivating, if the Calamitous Poison Body isn’t controlled well and errors occur, it wouldn’t only affect Lu Linghe and others but might even create an area of poison.

Therefore, she could only heed her mother’s words, cultivating here honestly, striving to perfect all the secret arts and divine skills in preparation for breaking through to Core Formation.

At this moment, Meng Xiaochan was helping her daughter with a medicinal bath.

Lu Mengchan’s progress in cultivation was incredibly swift; by the age of fifty-two, she reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, greatly due to her mother, Meng Xiaochan.

If Meng Xiaochan hadn’t carefully refined potent toxins for her and prepared various medicinal baths, even with the Calamitous Poison Body, it wouldn’t have led to such rapid cultivation.

After all, Lu Mengchan, influenced by the Calamitous Poison Body, began formal cultivation only at the age of sixteen.

Thus, she took only thirty-six years from starting her cultivation to achieving the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

This cultivation speed, once known, would be truly exceptional and astonishing.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng had only given her minor attention, not investing all efforts into collecting various rare potent toxins for his daughter.

”Hmm!?”

Meng Xiaochan sensed something, lifted her delicate hand, the Sun and Moon Token appeared as her face lit up with joy, transforming into a violet stream of light to go see Lu Changsheng.

In the violet poison cauldron, Lu Mengchan, submerged in toxic liquids, opened her charmingly hazy eyes; seeing her mother rushing so eagerly, she knew without thinking that her father must be home.

Only her father coming home would make her mother so joyous.

Looking at the newly prepared medicinal bath before her, Lu Mengchan pondered whether or not to first go greet her father.

After all, with her father arriving, she should go pay her respects promptly.

Without thinking too much, Lu Mengchan gracefully rose from the violet poison cauldron, adorned with intricate patterns.

The colorful toxic liquid dissipated from her skin.

The neatly folded violet dress, shoes, and socks zipped up, completing her attire instantly, making her appear elegant and ethereal in temperament.

No indication could be seen that she was just soaking in the toxic liquid for cultivation.

Lu Mengchan walked out of the cultivation room and saw her mother, like a child, throwing herself into her father’s arms, acting coquettishly.

Witnessing the scene before her, Lu Mengchan’s eyes blinked, her fair and rosy cheek slightly puffing out, feeling perhaps she shouldn’t have come out.

But now that she was out, seeing her parents, she momentarily didn’t know whether to step forward and speak.

Although Lu Changsheng had always cared for her deeply, often when he went out, it would be for years, making it difficult for her to be as intimately close to him as Lu Linghe and Lu Wangshu were.

However, as she hesitated, Lu Changsheng let go of Meng Xiaochan and smilingly called to her: ”Mengmeng.”

”Father.”

Lu Mengchan softly called, her voice melodious and clear.

”Mengmeng, have you missed your father?”

Despite the fact that his children were of ages that, in the secular world, they could be fathers, grandmothers, and ancestors.

In Lu Changsheng’s eyes, they would always be children.

Especially since cultivators differ from secular common folk.

Like his daughter, Lu Mengchan, who took the Preserving Youth Pill early on and advanced rapidly in cultivation, her appearance still retained a youthful grace, reminiscent of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, charming and lovable.

Though it was her mother who often mentioned and missed her father, Lu Mengchan compliantly replied: ”Yes.”

”Hahaha.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter, who was naturally gentle and spoke softly, finding it amusing, as he rubbed her head.

He then expressed his intention to visit the Five Poisons Cult, inviting them to accompany him.

Over the years, he realized he hadn’t been attentive enough towards his children; his daughter Lu Mengchan had unknowingly reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

Thus, he planned to take this time to thoroughly teach her the ”Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Secret Scripture”.

And to utilize the Five Poisons Cult’s secret treasures and resources, helping his daughter consolidate her cultivation realm in preparation for Core Formation.

”Father, what are we doing at the Five Poisons Cult?”

While Lu Mengchan had visited the Five Poisons Cult when young, she had little memory.

”To see your Aunt Nangong, Minghuang will also be there, offering you companionship, and to further assist you in cultivating.”

Lu Changsheng gently spoke to his daughter.

Lu Mengchan obediently nodded, uttering ”Oh”, with no objections.

After all, with her father’s words, her mother going, she naturally was going too.

”Let’s go.”

After a brief chat among the three, Lu Changsheng instructed the mother and daughter to pack while he returned to Bi Lake Mountain first.

”Oh, Lu Lang...”

At this moment, Meng Xiaochan emerged from her longing and spoke to Lu Changsheng, reporting that recently there was a huge disturbance deep within the Great Dream Marsh, seemingly a battle between Nascent Soul True Lords.

”That was the Nascent Soul cultivators from Starry Sky Sea causing trouble, which I have already resolved.”

Lu Changsheng acknowledged that Meng Xiaochan referred to his battle with True Monarch of Fury Sea and other such figures.

The situation at that time caused quite a commotion; even though the City Lord Mansion offered explanations, it couldn’t be concealed from the likes of Meng Xiaochan, a Nascent Soul cultivator.

”Congratulations, Lu Lang, on achieving Nascent Soul and ascending to become a True Monarch!”

Meng Xiaochan was aware of Lu Changsheng’s preparation for Nascent Soul.

Upon hearing this, she realized that Lu Changsheng had successfully broken through to Nascent Soul.

Actually, upon seeing Lu Changsheng earlier, she had this feeling.

She was just too immersed in the joy of seeing Lu Changsheng, forgetting to inquire.

”Nascent Soul.”

Lu Mengchan was unaware of her father’s cultivation state but immediately exclaimed with an open mouth: ”Congratulations, Father, for becoming a Nascent Soul True Lord!”

As she spoke, she observed her father closely.

Despite Lu Changsheng concealing his transcendent aura, the elevation and transformation brought by the life transition made him radiant like the stars.

Even Lu Mengchan felt that her father seemed more handsome, even surpassing her brother, Lu Minghuang.

Lu Changsheng cheerfully accepted his wife and daughter’s congratulations, then encouraged his daughter: ”My dear Mengmeng, at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment now, you are more impressive than your father, surely you’ll surpass me in achieving Nascent Soul swiftly in the future.”

Though these words were meant to encourage.

Based on his daughter’s cultivation pace, she was most likely to surpass her siblings Lu Qingxuan, Lu Lingxiao, and Lu Qingshan.

”It’s all thanks to Father and Mother’s cultivation that I have this cultivation speed.”

Although Lu Mengchan belonged to the protected, nurtured child type, Meng Xiaochan was a very competent mother.

Over the years in the Immortal City, she knew the exceptional conditions she benefited from.

Unlike the Immortal City, many cultivators on Mengxi Island needed to diligently accumulate Spirit Stones to earn cultivation resources.

Moreover, with her mother Meng Xiaochan, her resources far exceeded those available to other Lu Family disciples.

”It’s also because my dear Mengmeng is so diligent.”

Lu Changsheng never plays the role of a discouraging father, always praising and encouraging his children.

Once Meng Xiaochan had arranged affairs on Mengxi Island, he took his wife and daughter back to the City Lord Mansion.

Seeing his son Lu Quanzhen was also prepared, Lu Changsheng bid Red Lotus and Qian Zhuyan farewell.

Although divination indicated no calamity would reach Great Dream Immortal City in the near future, calculations shouldn’t be wholly trusted.

For safety’s sake, Lu Changsheng left the Nine-leaf Sword Grass at the City Lord Mansion.

So that even if the Sea Suppressing Ancestor attacked, it could hold out for a moment until he returned.

The main place for action was in the Jin Kingdom, primarily targeting the destruction of Yiming Ghost Sect.

A mere Yiming Ghost Sect with the old dog, Ming Sha, why would the Nine Tribulations Sword be necessary?
