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

Chapter 1063: 234: The Sima Family is domineering and unreasonable! (3)

”Yes, Peak Master.”

Upon hearing these words, the woman immediately responded.

A moment later, the woman named ’Jinxiu’ returned to Caiyun Peak, presenting a jade slip.

”Boom!”

The palace doors swung open with a thunderous roar, and the jade slip landed in Yun Wanshang’s palm.

”Refinement of Foundation Establishment Elixirs... Lu Wangshu... eldest son of the Lu Family, Lu Ping’an, merely sixty-one years old, quasi-Third Order Body Refinement.”

Yun Wanshang scanned these records with a trace of astonishment—Lu Changsheng had caused such a stir in recent years, it was no wonder he drew the attention of other family forces.

However, upon noticing the specific details about Lu Ping’an, her peerless beauty, as refined as jade, revealed a faint emotional movement.

This information was startling.

Even from her vantage point as a Nascent Soul Immortal, the case of Lu Ping’an was truly exceptional—worthy of being called a prodigious talent.
As for Lu Changsheng achieving Third-Rank Talisman Master, she paid it little mind.

During moments of physical intimacy with Lu Changsheng, she had long realized he harbored a tendency to conceal his strength.

She simply refrained from probing further or exposing his secrets.

”Lu Qingshan, Lu Ping’an, Lu Wangshu... Does Lu Changsheng’s spiritual body have issues regarding fertility?”

Yun Wanshang stared at the jade slip in her hand, her eyes betraying a thoughtful expression.

She harbored considerable disdain for Lu Changsheng’s actions, regarding him as nothing more than a stud.

Part of her feelings stemmed from a woman’s perspective.

The other aspect came from the principles of strong cultivators in this world—all focused solely on their cultivation, prioritizing detachment from worldly emotions.

A man like Lu Changsheng, indulging in carnal desires so recklessly and with no restraint—how could he ever accomplish the Great Dao in the future?

Yet now, while examining this information, she suddenly realized Lu Changsheng might be walking an alternative path—a path tailor-made for him.

”Is there some type of spiritual body that aids in procreation, yet doesn’t hinder cultivation...?”

Yun Wanshang pondered silently.

She had long suspected Lu Changsheng of having a Mutant Spiritual Root or some rare Spiritual Body.

After all, earlier detection revealed Lu Changsheng’s spiritual root was of Eighth Grade.

But later, when she accessed his records, she discovered he had been assessed as possessing Ninth Grade Spiritual Root during his early years at Qingyun Sect.

An improvement in one’s spiritual root was exceedingly rare in the cultivation world.

Such occurrences were not impossible, though.

Some Mutant Spiritual Roots were so obscure that early detection yielded no results, or they showed low quality, only to awaken and manifest their true powers during the slow progression of cultivation.

Likewise, certain Spiritual Bodies might exhibit similar effects, even concealing or altering the readings of spiritual roots.

”Jinxiu, go handle the grievances between Bi Lake Mountain and the Sima Family of Profound Martial Ridge. Ask Bi Lake Mountain what compensation they’d require, then bring Sima Tong to the Enforcement Hall and notify the Sima Family to come fetch their people.”

After deliberating for a moment, Yun Wanshang gave the order to the woman outside and tossed her a token.

”Yes, Peak Master!”

Jinxiu responded with respectful compliance.

After Jinxiu departed, Yun Wanshang paused briefly before taking out a jade pendant. Once the qi mechanisms intertwined, she spoke: ”I’ve sent someone to handle the matter. Make your way to Qingyun Sect. When you see Xiyue, explain it like this...”

For reasons unknown, upon saying these words, Yun Wanshang inexplicably felt like she and Lu Changsheng were sneaking around behind Xiao Xiyue’s back.

Though she had acted first, an inexplicable sense of guilt toward her disciple Xiao Xiyue crept over her...

”Huff...”

Yun Wanshang exhaled softly, her breath carrying hints of fragrance as she gazed at the jade slip in her hands, her thoughts drifting slightly.

Unbidden, memories of the Soul Path Dreams arose, those visions where she bore a son with Lu Changsheng...

The connection between those eerie Soul Path Dreams and reality seemed faintly intertwined.

If Lu Changsheng truly harbored some extraordinary Spiritual Body, capable of producing unparalleled offspring even with average women...

Should she bear a child with him, might it truly align with those glimpses from the Soul Path Dreams...

”Hmph!”

Yun Wanshang’s expression chilled as she dispelled these unwelcome thoughts, resuming her seated meditation to nourish her Golden Core.

...

Meanwhile.

Within a lavish palace on Red Sun Peak.

”Hmm, Lu Changsheng directly told you to leave?”

A dignified, elegant woman in her thirties, dressed in a green daoist robe with her jet-black hair styled into an ornate bun, gazed at the two individuals before her and inquired.

”Master, we would never dare deceive you about such a matter...”

Sima Qiuhua’s expression was one of respect, though her eyes revealed helpless bitterness.

”Mistress, that Lu Changsheng from Bi Lake Mountain and Xiao Xiyue are close friends. His refusal to our Red Sun Peak is likely an attempt to ingratiate himself with Caiyun Peak and align with them...”

Song Cheng explained with a bow.

”Caiyun Peak!”

Upon hearing the name, Song Qingzhi’s features instantly darkened with displeasure.

Who within Qingyun Sect did not know of her long-standing feud with Yun Wanshang?

Yun Wanshang could be tolerated.

But for a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator from a newly-risen False Core Family to insult her so blatantly?

”A little Foundation Establishment Cultivator does not have the privilege of choice or refusal in such matters!”

Song Qingzhi reprimanded coldly.

Her stake in this issue wasn’t solely for her disciple Sima Qiuhua’s sake.

She had noticed Bi Lake Mountain’s underlying complexities—be it Lu Changsheng or Lu Ping’an, both appeared to possess extraordinary fortuity.

Were she to pursue this fortuity outright, it would be improper and unsightly.

However, if Bi Lake Mountain aligned with her Red Sun lineage, this fortune would inevitably fall into her grasp.

To her dismay, not only had Bi Lake Mountain rejected her invitation, but they had also entangled themselves with Caiyun Peak.

”Hmph, I shall see where this Lu Changsheng finds such audacity!”

Song Qingzhi rose to her feet, preparing to personally visit Bi Lake Mountain.

She would uncover the source of his boldness!
