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

Chapter 604: Heaven-replenishing Elixir, Five Elements Fruit, Reunion! (2)

After all, having spent so much time on the road, the anticipation of finally seeing their children meant that the three of them were not in the mood to rest or amuse themselves at the marketplace.

Two days later,

Lu Changsheng and his two companions arrived at the Jinyang Sect.

The Jinyang Sect was located in the central region of the towering mountain range.

The surrounding mountains had more ore stones than trees and spirit plants, which, basking in the sunlight, glittered brilliantly—bestowing a gentle gold hue on the clouds above, imbuing them with a dignified and majestic aura.

“Is this the Jinyang Sect…”

...
The three stood before the gates of the Jinyang Sect, curiously observing, eager to witness the Immortal Sect where their children resided.

Subsequently, Lu Miaoge took out the Token of Tianyuan True Immortal and had a disciple guarding the mountain go forth to announce their arrival.

“Husband…”

Lu Miaohuan looked at the Jinyang Sect, gently biting her lip, her face revealing a complex expression of excitement, anticipation, and nervous confusion.
After all, as a mother, she had not seen her son for ten years.

The imminent reunion with her son left her unsure of how to face him, or what to say.

Not just her, but at this moment, Lu Miaoge too seemed a little distracted, looking into the Jinyang Sect.

“It’ll be okay.”

Lu Changsheng held the hands of his two wives, squeezing them gently, and reassured them in a warm voice.

His own emotions were much calmer in comparison to the two women.

However, the thought of being a father who hadn’t seen his children in twelve years—

Kids who had previously barely come up to his chest, would now, after twelve years, have surely grown into adults.

For a moment, even Lu Changsheng’s own thoughts drifted in anticipation of the reunion with his children.

About half an hour passed.

“Whoo!”

A crane’s call rang out.

A majestic, snow-white crane with a noble presence flew out from the Jinyang Sect.

Upon it stood a young man in a gold and white magical robe, with a tall and graceful posture, a clear and handsome face, red lips, white teeth, and spirited eyebrows.

“Dad, Mom, Aunt!”

The young man saw Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, and Lu Miaohuan below and immediately showed an excited and joyful expression on his face, leaping directly down from the immortal crane.

The three were briefly taken aback upon seeing the young man.

In his features, they could discern the childhood visage of their son, Lu Qingshan.

But many years had passed, and the once mischievous youth had grown up, transformed profoundly.

“Qingshan!”

Lu Miaohuan, with tears shining in her eyes, stepped forward and hugged her son tightly.

She released him after a moment, examining him closely, pinching his face and arms.

“Ahem, ahem, Mom, I’m an adult now, not a little kid anymore.”

Lu Qingshan, seeing his mother still treating him like a child, coughed lightly.

He slightly subdued his excitement and straightened his posture, showing a bit of composure.

In Jinyang Sect, Lu Qingshan was after all someone with a certain status.

Being treated as a child in front of everyone would indeed damage his image.

“To Mom, you’ll always be my child, and all this must have been hard on you.”

Lu Miaohuan gazed at her son, her eyes red and tearful, blinking back tears.

Lu Qingshan was taken aback for a moment, knowing his mother’s temperament well and aware that his absence over the years must have caused her great worry and longing.

He wiped the tears from her eyes and grinned, saying, “What hardship could I have? It’s just that I’ve made you worry, Mom.”

“Look at me, do I look like someone who has suffered? On the contrary, Mom, you look thinner. Has Dad been giving you a hard time?”

Lu Qingshan comforted his mother and then turned to Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, his eyes brimming with joy, saying, “Dad, Aunt, what brings you to the Jinyang Sect?”

He was no longer the child he once was.

He knew that the journey from Jiang Country to Jinyang Sect was extremely long.

Even with the token from his Master allowing them to travel by the Spiritual Vessel, the trip was still very troublesome and dangerous.

“Ha-ha, with you and Little Zhu at the Jinyang Sect, we were naturally worried. Since we had the time, we decided to come visit.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son, brimming with youthful vitality, and smiled, “Where’s Qing Zhu?”

“Little Zhu is still at the sect.”

Lu Qingshan beamed with happiness and said, “I just received the message that you had arrived. I couldn’t believe it, so I rushed over immediately and haven’t yet informed Little Zhu.”

“Dad, Mom, Aunt, let’s go inside and talk.”

“Little Zhu will surely be delighted to know you’re here.”

Lu Qingshan’s momentarily composed demeanor vanished completely, speaking with a face full of glee and joy.

Then he shouted to the white crane in the sky, “Fairy Crane!”

But as he shouted, he secretly transmitted his voice to the immortal crane, “Fairy Crane, these are my parents; please do me a favor and give us a lift.”

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng just realized that the white crane his son had just ridden was actually a Second Rank spirit crane.

It made him think to himself, his son was truly worthy of being a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal, riding a Second Rank spirit bird even at the Qi Refinement Realm.

However, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a divine sense comparable to the peak of Foundation Establishment, he vaguely caught his son passing some messages to the other with divine sense.

Realizing that the white crane was not his son’s mount, it must be the mount, or perhaps the pet, of that Tianyuan True Immortal.

“No need to shout so loudly.”

The fairy crane replied with a lack of good spirits, but descended from the sky, giving Lu Qingshan some face.

“Dad, Mom, Auntie, you all come up.”

Lu Qingshan said with a beaming smile, gesturing for them to join him.

Lu Changsheng and the two others did not reject their son’s kind offer.

The white crane was huge, several zhang in size, bigger than a bull, spaciously accommodating all four of them.

Thus, the four of them rode the fairy crane into the Jinyang Sect.

Inside, mountains rose majestically with clouds swirling around them, an incredibly stunning sight.

Through the misty clouds around the mountains, one could faintly make out various palaces and pavilions.

In the center of these mountains, there was a golden high mountain, shining brilliantly, devoid of any vegetation, shimmering slightly, almost like a Golden Great Bell.

“Dad, Mom, Auntie, that’s the Tianyuan Peak where I reside.”

Lu Qingshan pointed towards a lush, blossoming, verdant mountain with waterfalls cascading down.

“It seems you all live in a pretty nice environment.”

Lu Changsheng commented with a laugh.

“Hehe, not bad. Since the master is not often around, the entire mountain is just Xiaozhuer and me.”

Lu Qingshan said smilingly.

“Really, just you and Xiaozhuer on the whole mountain?”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Not just him, Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan were also very surprised.

Although the three had never been to the Jinyang Sect, through Qingyun Sect, they knew a bit about the situation of the Immortal Sects.

They knew that if one managed a peak, there would have to be some disciples, stewards, executors, and the like.

“That’s right, the master is often out and doesn’t care much about administration, so it’s just Xiaozhuer and me on Tianyuan Peak.”

“But this is also quite nice, free and easy…”

Lu Qingshan spoke.

As they spoke, the fairy crane approached the mountain.

Lu Qingshan took out a token, and through a simple formation, entered it.

The formation here simply served to block external probing.

Most of the Immortal Sects, apart from their core forbidden areas, would not set up too many protective Great Formations, as having the external ones was sufficient.

Unlike the elaborately carved palaces and pavilions of the other mountains, this peak was indeed quite simple.

There was only a palace at the top, and elsewhere were but a few simple huts and several Spirit Fields and medicinal gardens.

“Xiaozhuer! Xiaozhuer!”

Before the fairy crane could even land, Lu Qingshan leapt from its back, running towards the great hall and shouting loudly.

“Why are you still so impulsive?”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and laughed as he watched his son’s antics.

Then he took his wife’s hand, floated across the space, descending from the crane’s back, and arrived in front of the great hall.

Soon after, Lu Qingzhu rushed out from the hall in haste along with Lu Qingshan.

Now, this daughter of his had also grown into a graceful and stunningly beautiful young woman.

She wore the disciple garments of the Jinyang Sect, bearing a resemblance to her mother, Lu Miaoge, by about seventy percent.

But compared to Lu Miaoge, she had less of an ethereal grace and more of a tranquil elegance.

“Xiaozhuer.”

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge called out to their daughter.

“Daddy, Mom, Auntie!”

Lu Qingzhu saw the three people at the entrance, and her eyes immediately reddened with emotion, her delicate body trembling as she joyfully shouted.

Then, her face beaming with happiness and tears, she rushed forward and threw herself into her father Lu Changsheng’s arms.

“Xiaozhuer.”

As Lu Changsheng held his daughter feeling her like this, he gently stroked her hair and back.

Seeing his son, Lu Qingshan, so independent and self-sufficient, he was naturally happy, but it didn’t impact his emotions too much.

But seeing his daughter so emotionally stirred, he too was moved, feeling a wave of guilt.

After all, Lu Qingzhu, unlike Lu Qingshan, had a gentler disposition. Having been separated for so long, she must have often been alone, missing them sorrowfully.
