Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 110: Three Foundation Establishment Pills, Advancing to Medium-Grade Spirit Root!

Five days later.

Outside Qingzhu Mountain.

“Uncle Yuanshan, I’m troubling you this time.”

Lu Changsheng bowed his hands and said to a middle-aged man with a strong face and a missing arm.

This man was Lu Yuanshan, a core member of the Lu Family who had been sent to the Purple Mist Secret Realm.

He had the cultivation of Qi Refining Ninth Stage.

This time, Lu Yuanding directly asked him to escort Lu Changsheng to the mortal world.

“No trouble.”

Lu Yuanshan replied in a deep voice, his face stern and dignified, exuding an air of authority.

He then took out a small, palm-sized, blue-colored flying boat.
Under the activation of his spiritual power, the flying boat transformed into a small boat about a zhang long.

This flying boat was slightly larger than the one owned by the Second Elder.

But it was not much bigger, only able to seat twelve people.

This was because the Lu Family did not have medium-sized or large flying boats.

They only had a few small flying boats.

Using this flying boat was a special exception made by Lu Yuanding due to Lu Changsheng’s special circumstances.

However, having a flying boat at all made Lu Changsheng very satisfied.

He had originally thought about renting a flying boat from the Spirit Boat Pavilion.

After all, he had many wives and children.

If they had to rely on the Spirit Horse carriage, it would be too troublesome and inconvenient.

“Feiyu, Lanshu, you can board now.”

Lu Changsheng said to Li Feiyu and Lu Lanshu, who were standing beside him.

Since there were many people, he divided his wives and children into two batches.

For now, he would send Li Feiyu and the children to the mortal world first.

His own wives and children would follow later.

“Ping’an, you come with dad, and dad will fly over with you.” ”

Lu Changsheng did not board the flying boat.

Instead, he took out the steel-feathered eagle from his spirit pet bag and beckoned to his son Lu Ping’an.

“Okay, Father.”

Lu Ping’an did not object to this arrangement.

In his opinion, flying boats were not as fun as riding the eagle.

Usually, Lu Changsheng would also take them on short flights on the steel-feathered eagle, but it was not enough to satisfy them.

“Hold steady.”

Lu Changsheng immediately lifted his son up and placed him on the back of the steel-feathered eagle, helping him settle in and giving him two wind-avoiding talismans. ʀἈΝǑВƐＳ

Then, he looked at Lu Yuanshan.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Yuanshan nodded after seeing that everyone was seated and ready.

Immediately, the steel-feathered eagle and the spirit boat soared into the sky simultaneously.

In terms of speed, the spirit boat was slightly faster than the steel-feathered eagle.

However, the difference in speed was not significant.

Lu Yuanshan also slowed down the spirit boat’s speed, flying alongside Lu Changsheng.

“Remember, my son, the teachings I’ve given you.”

“From now on, when I’m not around, you can make your own decisions about what you want to do.”

Lu Changsheng stood on the steel-feathered eagle, embracing his son, and said aloud.

“Don’t worry, Father, I won’t disappoint you!”

Lu Ping’an nodded vigorously, looking up at Lu Changsheng.

“Good, I believe in you.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t say much more.

Although his eldest son didn’t have a Spirit Root, and couldn’t be considered a genius, he was still quite satisfied with his son’s calm and independent nature.

With him as the father, the child didn’t need to strive for greatness; just maintaining the current state was enough.

And in his opinion, Lu Ping’an was more than capable of doing so.

Dream Immortal City.

Alchemy hall.

“Daoist Meng, I’ve had good luck this time, and managed to refine three pills.”

“However, the third pill has a defect and is only a low-quality Foundation Establishment pill.”

“The pill is too toxic and can only increase the chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment by a small margin.”

Seven days of alchemy had left Chen Ping’s face looking tired and worn.

He opened his palm, revealing the three pills, and said to Meng Xiaocan.

Among the three pills, two of them shone brightly, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

One of them, however, was dull and dark, with a grayish pill mark, clearly inferior to the other two.

“Three pills!”

Meng Xiaocan’s face lit up with surprise upon hearing this.

She hadn’t expected to be so lucky and refine three pills.

Even though the third pill was a low-quality Foundation Establishment pill, it was still extremely valuable.

Many cultivators would go crazy for it.

“Thank you, Master Chen!”

Meng Xiaocan bowed in gratitude.

She took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Ping, saying, “Master Chen, this is the reward we previously discussed. Please take a look.”

“Alright.”

Chen Ping took the storage bag and looked inside, and a smile appeared on his face.

He handed three Foundation Establishment pills to Meng Xiaozhen.

“Thank you, Master Chen. I’ll take my leave.”

Meng Xiaozhen took the Foundation Establishment pills and directly bid farewell.

She headed to the central city, rented a second-grade cave, and prepared to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

She didn’t come to Dream Immortal City just to refine the Foundation Establishment pills.

She also needed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, which required the assistance of a second-grade Spirit Vain.

Places like the Jiulong Market, although they had second-grade Spirit Veins, didn’t open their cave dwellings to outsiders.

Even if they did, there were formation restrictions that prevented people from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

In Dream Immortal City, as long as you had the money, you could directly rent a high-grade second-grade cave, specially designed for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

This was also why the Immortal City could attract so many Rogue Cultivators.

“Foundation Establishment!”

After renting a high-level second-grade cave, Meng Xiaozhen set up a formation, her beautiful eyes revealing a determined expression.

Then, she closed her eyes, sat down, and began to adjust her vital energy, waiting for the opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Three days later.

The spirit boat and the steel-feathered eagle landed outside Ruyi Region City, in a deserted area.

Lu Changsheng held his sleeping son, Lu Ping’an, in his arms, and took out Hong Yi’s messaging talisman.

Then, he led the group towards Ruyi Region City.

The sound of their footsteps also woke Lu Ping’an up.

“Dad, is this Ruyi Region City where we’ll live in the future?”

Lu Ping’an rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking at the city in front of him, and asked.

“That’s right, this is Ruyi Region City.”

“Your dad was born in a small village at the foot of Ruyi Region City, and you and your siblings will live here in the future.”

Lu Changsheng said warmly.

“Ruyi Region City, time really flies.”

Li Feiyu, who was also holding his wife and daughter, looked at Ruyi Region City, his expression filled with emotion.

“Yes, it’s been five years since we last came to Ruyi Region City.”

“Unknowingly, five years have passed.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, also feeling a sense of nostalgia.

It had been eight years since he left the Lu Family, almost nine years.

Every time he looked back on those days, Lu Changsheng felt that time had passed quickly.

Before long, Hong Yi arrived.

“Brother Lu, Brother Li, are these your wives?”

Hong Yi looked at the people following Lu Changsheng, including Li Feiyu, and was somewhat surprised.

However, he didn’t think much about it, and enthusiastically approached with a respectful face, without a hint of arrogance.

After seeing Lu Yuanshan, he also bowed respectfully: “Junior Hong Yi, greetings to Senior Lu.”

Although he didn’t know Lu Yuanshan, after many years of dealing with people, he had developed a certain level of insight.

At a glance, he could tell that Lu Yuanshan was not ordinary.

“Uncle Yuanshan, this is my good friend Hong Yi.”

“Ping’an, this is your Uncle Hong.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and introduced him.

“Uncle Hong.”

“Uncle Hong.”

Lu Ping’an and Li Feiyu’s children all called out to Hong Yi.

“Okay, okay, come on, come on, this is a meeting gift from uncle.”

Hong Yi smiled and took out a few small items from his storage bag for the children.

However, the children all looked at their parents.

“Since Uncle Hong gave it to you, just keep it.”

Lu Changsheng laughed.

Then he looked at Hong Yi and asked, “Brother Hong, did you arrange the courtyard I asked you to prepare earlier?”

“I’ve arranged everything on the mansion’s side, but the guards and martial artists haven’t been arranged yet.”

“Brother Lu, are you going back now or resting here for a while?”

Hong Yi asked immediately.

“Uncle Yuanshan, would you like to go back first, or rest here temporarily.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Yuanshan and asked respectfully.

He still showed due respect and etiquette to this Lu Family elder.

“It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry, I’ll go back with you.”

Lu Yuanshan replied.

He had come to escort Lu Changsheng, and also to protect him.

To prevent the Chen Family from sending people to harm Lu Changsheng, the Talisman Master.

“Okay, then thank you, Uncle Yuanshan.”

Lu Changsheng bowed his hands.

Then he first helped Lu Yuanshan, his wife, and children settle in and rest.

He, Li Feiyu, and Hong Yi went to inspect the manor together.

“Brother Lu, did you come earlier because of the conflict between the Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family and the Hongye Valley Chen Family?”

Hong Yi asked as he invited the two to sit in the carriage.

“Do you also know about this, Brother Hong?”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

He didn’t expect the Lu Family and Chen Family’s matters to be known by Hong Yi in the secular world.

“I’ve been paying attention to the news about this aspect.”

“Not long ago, I heard that the Lu Family’s ancestor won’t live for much longer, and there might be conflicts between the Lu Family and Chen Family.”

“I was about to write a letter to inform Brother Lu and Brother Li.”

“I didn’t expect Brother Lu to arrive so quickly.”

Hong Yi said.

“It’s indeed affected by this aspect.”

Since Hong Yi had received the relevant news, Lu Changsheng didn’t hide it either.

He indicated that there had been some conflicts between the Lu Family and Chen Family earlier, but it had subsided, so he had sent his wives and children to the secular world in advance.

Moreover, he would send some of his wives and children over later.

“Brother Lu, are you planning to leave the Lu Family or not?” Hong Yi asked.

“I will not leave the Lu Family for the time being, but Feiyu will temporarily settle down in the secular world this time.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said directly.

Hong Yi didn’t say much about it either.

He knew that Lu Changsheng, being in the Lu Family, must have more information than himself.

There was no need for him to make judgments based on small rumors.

So, the three of them chatted and reminisced in the carriage, laughing and joking.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

“Master.”

The coachman shouted from outside the carriage.

“Brother Lu, we’ve arrived.”

Hong Yi nodded.

He got out of the carriage and pointed to a mansion in front of them, saying to Lu Changsheng,

“Brother Lu, this is the place.”

“This is where the canal was built, and the land was divided to construct the mansion.”

“The several mansions built here are all for cultivators in the secular world.”

“It also meets your previous requirements, Brother Lu, with a quiet and peaceful environment.”

“This mansion occupies a total of eighteen acres, with the canal in front and fertile land behind, suitable for orchards and fields.”

Hong Yi walked ahead, introducing the mansion to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng looked at the mansion arranged for him by Hong Yi.

The mansion wasn’t overly luxurious.

But it was large and majestic.

Especially with the canal nearby, one could see the vast and majestic scenery of the canal, making it suitable for boating and playing.

“This can be considered a seaside villa.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled.

He nodded towards Hong Yi and said, “This residence is not bad, thank you for your efforts, Brother Hong.”

“I’m glad you’re satisfied, Brother Lu. Let me take you on a tour.”

Hong Yi also smiled.

He had indeed put a lot of thought into this mansion.

He was even worried that Lu Changsheng might not be satisfied.

He had even prepared several backup houses.

The entire mansion, although only occupying eighteen acres, was meticulously planned and laid out in a neat and orderly manner.

Inside, the flowers and trees were lush, with pavilions, towers, and winding corridors, exuding a sense of elegance and grandeur.

After touring the mansion, Lu Changsheng was very satisfied with this residence.

This size would be more than enough, even for his children when they grew up and got married.

There were also servants and maids arranged to clean and maintain the place.

The only thing lacking was a martial arts instructor, a guardian, and a manager.

Lu Changsheng thought that for the managerial aspect, he could let Baihe and Haitang, the maids he had purchased from the White Jade Tower, take care of it.

They not only had martial arts skills but also had no issues with management.

“Alright, Brother Hong, I’m very satisfied with this residence. Thank you for your efforts.”

Lu Changsheng nodded towards Hong Yi, and it was settled.

Then he turned to Li Feiyu and asked, “Feiyu, what do you plan to do? Will you stay here or return to Tianshui Prefecture?”

“I’ll stay here for now and go back to Tianshui Prefecture later,” Li Feiyu replied.

“Alright, I’ll trouble you and Brother Hong to take care of things here.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

With Li Feiyu and Hong Yi taking care of things, he could rest easy.

Moreover, he also planned to leave the Nine Netherworld Hound here.

On one hand, the children all liked the Nine Netherworld Hound as a playmate.

On the other hand, it would also serve as an additional layer of security.

As they walked out of the mansion, Hong Yi took out a plaque from his storage bag and said, “Brother Lu, since we’ve settled on this, let’s give the mansion a name.”

“I didn’t expect you to be so thorough, Brother Hong.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile when he saw this.

He took out a Talisman pen and wrote the two characters “Lu Mansion” on the plaque.

He then hung the plaque above the mansion’s main gate.

“This can also be considered my own home.”

“Although it’s in the mortal world.”

Lu Changsheng gazed at the mansion in front of him, feeling a sense of nostalgia.

Although he had been in Qingzhu Mountain for many years, he had already developed a sense of belonging.

But when it came to his future, Lu Changsheng still wanted to establish his own cultivation family.

Although this step was still far away.

He needed to wait until after his Foundation Establishment before he could start considering it.

But in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, Foundation Establishment was not too far away.

“This can also be considered the first step, I suppose.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Now, his mortal Lu Family had also taken root.

In the future, his children would settle down in this Ruyi Region city.

The next day.

Lu Changsheng brought Lu Lanshu and Lu Ping’an to this mansion.

He also brought Xia Ziyue and her siblings to live here.

Regarding his situation, Lu Changsheng had already told Xia Ziyue about it beforehand.

Now, he was letting Xia Ziyue start to integrate into this family.

After living in Ruyi Region city for a day, Lu Changsheng returned to Qingzhu Mountain with Lu Yuanshan.

Starting the second round of transportation.

These two trips were very smooth.

Lu Changsheng sent Lu Qing’er, Lu Zi’er, and four other wives, as well as nine children to Ruyi Region city.

As for the remaining children, Lu Changsheng planned to wait until they were a bit older.

After all, he was still young in name, and sending them to the mortal world to settle down wasn’t a bad idea.

It wasn’t possible to settle all his wives and children in the mortal world at once.

Seeing Lu Changsheng send so many children, Hong Yi also sent his two children over.

Letting them get to know Lu Changsheng’s and Li Feiyu’s children, and letting them grow up together as playmates, continuing the relationships between their families.

After settling his wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng left Nine Netherworld Hound in the mansion and asked his son Lu Ping’an to take care of it.

Letting his wives and children have more self-preservation in the mortal world.

The Nine Netherworld Hound, although still a low-level demonic beast, was almost approaching mid-level.

It wouldn’t fear Qi Refining cultivators at the mid-stage.

In these days, Lu Changsheng also gave Xia Ziyue a thorough physical examination.

He could almost confirm that she had a Spirit Nurturing Body.

However, considering Xia Ziyue’s Qi Refining second stage, giving birth would harm her vital energy.

And there was no need to let her get pregnant and give birth immediately.

From the Lu Family, they exchanged a set of small gathering spirit arrays, which were set up in the backyard of the residence.

This allowed Xia Ziyue, Xia Chaoyang, and Li Feiyu to cultivate in the mortal world, albeit with great difficulty.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng gave Xia Ziyue fifty spirit stones and some pills.

He told her to cultivate diligently and not slack off.

After settling all these matters, Lu Changsheng and Lu Yuanshan returned to Qingzhu Mountain.

However, before leaving, Lu Changsheng also left a stack of talismans for Li Feiyu.

After all, Li Feiyu was only at the fourth stage of Qi Refining.

Although he had the martial arts skills of a congenital master, he wouldn’t be in much danger in the mortal world.

There was also the Marquis Ru Yi’s estate, Hong Yi, to rely on.

But Lu Changsheng had always been cautious and took precautions.

After sending the first batch of wives and children to the mortal world,

Lu Changsheng returned to Qingzhu Mountain, where he continued to live in seclusion, cultivating, making talismans, and accompanying his wives and children.

Before he knew it, more than a month had passed.

On this day, Lu Changsheng’s sixty-third child was born.

At the moment of the child’s birth, Lu Changsheng felt an indescribable, mysterious sensation surge through his entire body.

It let Lu Changsheng clearly know that his Spirit Root had advanced!

From a seventh-grade Spirit Root, it had advanced to a sixth-grade Spirit Root!

From a low-grade Spirit Root, it had advanced to a medium-grade Spirit Root!

“System!”

Lu Changsheng’s heart was filled with joy, and he immediately opened the system panel.

【Name: Lu Changsheng】

【Identity: Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family Son-in-law】

【Cultivation: Qi Refining seventh stage】

【Lifespan: 26/163】

【Talent: Sixth-grade Spirit Root】

【Skills: Immortal Posture Technique, Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique】

【Spells: Fireball Technique, Wind Control Technique, Object Control Technique, Breath Holding Technique, Heavenly Eye Technique, Sound Transmission Technique】

【Crafts: Talisman Creation (second level), Puppetry (second level)】

【Pet: Nine Netherworld Hound, Peach Blossom Gu】

【Offspring: 63/75 (view details)】

“Indeed, a sixth-grade Spirit Root.”

“After so much effort, I’ve finally upgraded from a low-grade Spirit Root to a medium-grade Spirit Root!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the system panel, feeling extremely delighted.

The ninth rank of Spirit Root; once upgraded to medium-grade Spirit Root, it would be of great help in Foundation Establishment.

And it wouldn’t be like low-grade Spirit Root, which would drag him down.

“This child should be an eighth-rank Spirit Root, right?”

Lu Changsheng sensed the subtle movement and could roughly feel the quality of the child’s Spirit Root.

But now, with the system panel, it was even more convenient.

His heart was slightly moved.

Through the “Children” column, he saw the information of the child he had just given birth to.

Indeed.

Eighth-rank Spirit Root.

“I now have twelve children with Spirit Root.”

“However, only two of them have seventh-rank Spirit Root. It’s too difficult to give birth to a medium-grade Spirit Root child.”

“Now that I’ve upgraded to a sixth-rank Spirit Root, I don’t know if it will get better in this aspect.”

Lu Changsheng let out a long sigh, thinking to himself.

Even if both parents have Spirit Root, and the mother takes good care of her body during pregnancy, nourishing it with spiritual energy to increase the chances of giving birth to a child with Spirit Root…

It’s still too difficult to control the quality of the child’s Spirit Root.

“Now that I’ve upgraded to medium-grade Spirit Root, not only will my cultivation speed increase, but it will also be of great help in my pursuit of Foundation Establishment.”

“If I could upgrade to a high-grade Spirit Root early on, Foundation Establishment would be a piece of cake.”

“Unfortunately, Xia Ziyue is only at the Qi Refining second stage, and her body is too weak. Otherwise, with her spiritual body, it wouldn’t be a problem to give birth to a medium-grade Spirit Root child, let alone a high-grade one.”

Lu Changsheng murmured to himself.

With a spiritual body, if the other party was willing to consume their cultivation foundation to give birth to a child, there was a high probability of giving birth to a medium-grade Spirit Root child.

But the problem was that Xia Ziyue was only at the Qi Refining second stage.

Doing so would definitely harm her foundation and injure her roots.

Even though Lu Changsheng wanted a medium-grade Spirit Root child, his moral principles wouldn’t allow him to do such a thing.

“I previously read in a book that some heavenly treasures and rare treasures can increase the chances of a child having Spirit Root during pregnancy, or even improve their Spirit Root quality.”

“I wonder if I can get such a treasure from the system’s lottery.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself, starting to wish for it.

Although according to the book, such heavenly treasures and rare treasures were extremely rare.

At least it’s a three-grade or higher heavenly material treasure, a precious treasure.

However, trusting the system, Lu Changsheng felt that this wasn’t a problem.

But thinking about his current situation, where the system wasn’t giving him much reward, Lu Changsheng felt a bit uncomfortable.

He could only look forward to his child growing up and giving him more rewards in other aspects.

“Oh, it’s difficult, it’s too difficult for me.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, not thinking too much, and went to the practice room to start meditating.

An hour later.

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

“I’ve finally advanced from a seventh-grade Spirit Root to a sixth-grade one, which is a natural progression.”

“Depending on the development of the child’s Spirit Root, and the accumulation of eighth-grade Spirit Roots and ninth-grade Spirit Roots, the speed is not obvious.”

“I think it will only help in the bottleneck aspect.”

Lu Changsheng experienced that after advancing to a medium-grade Spirit Root, his cultivation speed didn’t have a significant boost.

He knew that the main difference between a seventh-grade Spirit Root and a sixth-grade one lay in the impact on the bottleneck.

There was a difference in the speed of spiritual energy cultivation, but it wasn’t that great.
