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

Chapter 2023: 533: What a Coincidence? (part 2)

”I should refine a few Fourth Rank Spiritual Pet Bags later.”

Not just for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.

When the Soul-calling Beast and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng ascend to Fourth Rank, the current Spiritual Pet Bags will be unusable.

Even at this stage, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and the Soul-calling Beast already feel cramped in the Spiritual Pet Bags.

Fortunately, these two Spiritual Pets come from the system, so they are extremely loyal to Lu Changsheng, performing their duties without complaint.

Otherwise, if it were other Third Rank Top Level Demon Kings or Quasi-Fourth Rank Demon Kings, protests would likely arise immediately, unwilling to enter such cramped conditions.

Lu Changsheng stored the Tianyuan Lotus, adapted slightly, and then activated the ”Yin Yang Creation Classic,” converting his mana to ”Cauldron Medical King’s Scripture,” transforming into the guise of Xuanmu Taoist, and flew towards Penglai Immortal City.

...

Upon entering Penglai Immortal City, it appeared even more bustling than before.

”A High Rank auction?”
Lu Changsheng had previously inquired of Shen Yiren about the High Rank cultivators’ trade gatherings.

She mentioned that in another three years, there would be a High Rank cultivators’ auction held once every ten years.

Calculating the time, over two years had passed, and the auction was about to begin.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng wandered around Penglai Immortal City and visited Heavenly Star Tower to purchase two pieces of intelligence information.

One was regarding the Kunpeng Egg.

The other was the general information about the upcoming auction in Penglai Immortal City.

”Nascent Soul Spiritual Object...”

The first intelligence report contained only some elusive rumors, with no detailed information about the Kunpeng Egg.

As for the second, it stated that Penglai Island would release several Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects as the climax items.

However, Lu Changsheng had little interest in Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects.

Previously in the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, he had collected a total of eight Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects.

Including the Infant Cultivation Flower he held, he completely lacked for Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects.

Moreover, he still possessed the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

It can condense Nascent Soul-level Solar Essence and Lunar Essence!

Although condensing one portion of Nascent Soul-level Solar Essence or Lunar Essence requires 60 years.

Lu Changsheng could refine some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials with Yin Yang attributes for A Wu, using them to condense Solar Essence and Lunar Essence.

...

Having wandered around Penglai Immortal City, Lu Changsheng reported back to Goddess Palace and returned to his Rongyue Island.

Regarding why it took over a year to visit the Kunpeng Nest Ruins, the Goddess Palace did not inquire in detail.

After all, as an Honorary Elder at the Peak of Core Formation in the Sect, as long as it’s not harming the sect’s interests, they generally won’t impose too many restrictions.

Furthermore, the major contribution made by the Goddess Palace was providing a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein to strike the Nascent Soul, without much other expenditure.

If Lu Changsheng misbehaves or contributes inadequately over the fifty years, the eventual service period will extend, so the Goddess Palace does not excessively constrain or nitpick.

”Elder Xuanmu!”

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s return, Song Yudie came to greet him immediately, actively reporting the past year’s situation.

Besides the High Rank auction, Penglai Island has not seen any major events.

Concerning information about the Kunpeng Egg, it matched the intelligence Lu Changsheng acquired: only some elusive rumors.

”Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Song Yudie, with a delicate face and tall figure, nodding gently.

”Elder Xuanmu, Yudie also heard a rumor that Elder Jing Qing is preparing to break through to Nascent Soul.”

After becoming the steward of Rongyue Island, Song Yudie’s status and position in the Goddess Palace rose; great clan disciples and gatherings of Inner Sect True Inheritors would all invite her.

Though she wasn’t very interested in these.

But Lu Changsheng had previously indicated she should pay more attention to news about Kunpeng Egg and the Starry Sky Sea, and such gatherings were useful avenues for information.

”Breakthrough to Nascent Soul...”

Lu Changsheng’s eyebrow twitched, knowing this individual was among the Core Formation Peak cultivators of Goddess Palace.

If successfully breaking through to Nascent Soul, Goddess Palace’s strength would further suppress other forces on Penglai Island.

”Moreover, I heard that once Elder Jing Qing breaks through to Nascent Soul, he intends to propose a Dao Companion agreement with the Third Palace Master...”

Song Yudie continued.

Based on the previous visits by the Third Palace Master and the fact that their Elder had cooked for her, she suspected Lu Changsheng harbored affection for the Third Palace Master.

This is quite normal.

The Goddess Palace’s three Palace Masters were renowned throughout the Starry Sky Sea.

The Great Palace Master was beyond reach for many.

The Second Palace Master was already married.

Which left the Third Palace Master Shen Yiren, deemed by many as a dreamlike Goddess.

Indeed, quite a few Core Formation cultivators joined Goddess Palace and served as Honored Guests, all for the sake of winning the Third Palace Master’s heart.

Apart from external cultivators, even within Penglai Island, including the core direct lineage of Goddess Palace, many harbored admiration for the Third Palace Master.

Elder Jing Qing was among those with considerable hope.

Not only was he outstanding in appearance, talent, and capability, but he was also a True Inheritor groomed by Goddess Palace’s direct lineage.

”Oh dear...”

Lu Changsheng was well aware that while aspiring to become Dao Companions with the Third Palace Master, he would face many rivals.

But he hadn’t anticipated encountering such formidable competition.

If he succeeds in breaking through to Nascent Soul, he will propose a Dao Companion agreement with Shen Yiren.

Though Lu Changsheng could discern that Shen Yiren had a favorable impression of him and some level of affection.

This affection was still far from reaching matters of romance.

Moreover, during the affair relating to his son Lu Quan’s actions, he had made several conversational slip-ups, causing Shen Yiren’s fondness to slightly decline, hindering short-term effectiveness with the Third Palace Master.

Lu Changsheng inquired a bit about Elder Jing Qing’s circumstances, drawing a conclusion: it was unlikely this person would successfully become Dao Companions with Shen Yiren.

Despite being top tier in appearance, talent, and capability, and being a True Inheritor of Goddess Palace, his relationship with Shen Yiren was merely good, not close.

Under such circumstances, hoping to break through to Nascent Soul and achieve an all-at-once approach would be quite challenging.
