Chapter 217: Fortunate Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment While Away!

“Your sister?”

Yan Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Her usual demeanor was lazy and she disliked managing affairs, not having taken on a single disciple.

This time, if it weren’t for fate aligning,

seeing Lu Qingshan’s Metal-attribute body as perfect for inheriting her lineage’s legacy techniques, she really wouldn’t want to take on a disciple.

Now, taking on one disciple meant having to accept another, which she wasn’t too keen on.

“Qingshan.”

Lu Miaoge was deeply moved seeing Lu Qingshan wanting to bring his sister Lu Qingzhu along.

If her daughter could become a disciple of a Golden Core cultivator, she might have a chance at Foundation Establishment in the future.

But she knew that a Golden Core cultivator taking on disciples wasn’t something to be taken lightly.

She immediately apologized to the woman in the red dress, “Senior, Qingshan doesn’t understand. Please forgive him.”

Yan Yuan looked at Lu Qingshan, who stood with pursed lips, holding his sister’s hand.

She could see a hint of stubbornness in his brow.

She knew that if she only accepted the boy as a disciple, he might not be willing.

“Fine, taking on one or two disciples makes little difference.”

“Tianyuan Peak is quite lonely with just me there. Having these two siblings together would provide some company and mutual support.”

She pondered briefly.

Then, turning to Lu Qingzhu, she asked, “Would you like to become my disciple along with your brother?”

Lu Qingzhu was surprised that the Golden Core cultivator truly wanted to accept her as a disciple.

She looked at her mother, then at her brother Lu Qingshan.

Seeing them both nod, encouraging her to accept, she obediently said, “Senior, I’m willing.”

“Disciple Lu Qingshan greets Master!”

Lu Qingshan’s face broke into a happy smile as he pulled his sister along, bowing loudly.

Although he wanted to ask if his younger brother Lu Qingsong could join them too,

he could tell it wasn’t likely given the situation.

Beside him, Lu Qingzhu, seeing her brother’s behavior, also bowed obediently and said in a clear voice, “Disciple Lu Qingzhu greets Master.”

“Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu.”

“Very well, from now on, you are disciples of me, Yan Yuan.”

Yan Yuan nodded upon hearing their names and lightly raised her hand, signaling them to stand.

She then turned to Lu Miaoge and said, “I happennd to be traveling in the Jiang Kingdom and will be returning soon.”

“The Golden Sun Sect is far from the Jiang Kingdom. In the future, when these siblings breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, I’ll allow them to return for a visit.”

“This is my token. If you have any matters in the future, you can come to the Golden Sun Sect with this token to find me.”

Yan Yuan took out a jade tablet and handed it to Lu Miaoge..

Since she had taken their children as disciples,

she couldn’t just take them away without any assurances.

She had to give them some promises.

In fact, seeing Lu Miaoge with so many childrrn outside, she had guessed that they might be facing some difficulties.

However, given her lazy nature,

she preferred to avoid unnecessary troubles and didn’t want to meddle in others’ affairs.

So she only gave the promise of Foundation Establishment visits and the token.

If Lu Miaoge had any issues in tte future and came to the Golden Sun Sect, she would help.

If not, she wouldn’t bother herself with it.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Lu Miaoge accepted the token nd bowed respectfully.

She then instructed Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu to listen to their master and cultivate diligently.

“Mother.”

Lu Qingzhu’s bright eyes immediately turned red with unshed tears, her face full of reluctance to part.

“Aunt, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of my sister!”

Although Lu Qingshan felt sad inside, he appeared stronger.

He believed this was just a journey to cultivate.

Holding his sister’s hand, he earnestly said to Lu Miaoge..

“Yes, my Qingshan is the most sensible.”

Lu Miaoge stroked Lu Qingshanns head and hugged them both, her eyes full of reluctance to part.

She knew that once her children went to the Golden Sun Sect, they might not see each other for decades.

But for the sake of her children’s future, she could only hide her reluctance in her heart.

“Alright, Qingshan, little Zhu’er, make sure to listen to your master and cultivate well.”

“When we have time, your father and I will come to visit you.”

Lu Miaoge repeated her instruutions.

But even she lacked confidence in her later words.

The journey from Qingzhu Mountain to the Golden Sun Sect in the Yue Kingdom was very far.

If she couldn’t become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the journey would be extremely dangerous.

She might only be able to wait until decades later when her children return after reaching Foundation Establishment.

“Aunt, please tell my mother not to worry about me. I’ll return when I’ve achieved success in my cultivation.”

“Tell Grandfather that I’ll definitely become a great Foundation Establishment cultivator and a peerless sword immortal!”

“Oh, and when Father returns home, tell him I’ve been taking good care of the Golden Potato.”

“If you and Father come to visit me and little Zhu’er in the future, remember to have him bring the Golden Bean.”

Lu Qingshan, seeing his aunt’s reluctance, changed the subject and said with a grin.

“Alright, I’ll pass on your words to your mother, grandfather, and father.”

“Follow your master and cultivate well. When you become a peerless sword immortal, your aunt, father, mother, and grandfather will all be proud and happy for you.”

Lu Miaoge forced a gentle smiie and lightly ruffled her nephew’s hair.

She then turned to Yan Yuan, bowing deeply, “I entrust Qingshan and Qingzhu to you, Senior!”

“Naturally.”

Yan Yuan watched the parting scene with a calm expression and nodded slightly.

She then raised her hand, lifting Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu onto her large Gourd.

“If that’s all, I’ll take my leave.”

“If you wish to visit the Golden Sun Sect in the future, you can use my token to contact the Golden Sun Trading Company.”

“The Golden Sun Trading Company does business with the Jiang Kingdom. You can then take our sect’s spirit ship to the Yue Kingdom.”

Yan Yuan spoke with an authoritative voice to Lu Miaoge..

She could see that Lu Miaoge was only a Qi Refinnng cultivator.

With such cultivation, traveling from the Jiang Kingdom to the Yue Kingdom would be very dangerous.

Considering the deep mother-child bond and the young age of her two disciples, she was willing to offer a safer option.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Lu Miaoge’s beautiful face immediately lit up with joy upon hearing this.

If she could travel on the trading company’s spirit ship to the Golden Sun Sect,

she would only need to save up some Spirit Stones to visit her children.

This filled her heart with joy.

Looking at the siblings on the Gourd, she once again instructed them to listen to their master and cultivate diligently.

“Qingsong, wait for your brother to return. I’ll look after you then.”

“Sister Xiuxiu, you better cultivate hard, or you’ll only be able to admire my back in the future!”

Lu Qingshan stood on the large Gourd, waving and shouting to Lu Qingsong and the others.

The next moment,

The giant Gourd transformed into a beam of divine light and disappeared into the horizon.

Lu Miaoge, holding Lu Wangshuu stared blankly at the vanishing divine light in the sky.

“Aunt.”

“Aunt.”

The little ones on the Spirit Boat, seeing Lu Miaoge’s sadness and reluccance, came forward to comfort her.

Except for Lu Qingsong, the others didn’t feel much sadness or sorrow.

They were more envious.

After all, this was a Golden Core cultivator!

A Golden Core cultivator they had only read about in books and lessons!

Now, Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu had been accepted as disciples by a Golden Core cultivator and taken to a celestial sect.

Naturally, this made them extremely envious.

“I’m fine.”

“Now that Qingshan and Qingzhu have gone to cultivate in a celestial sect, you all need to cultivate diligently too, understand?”

Lu Miaoge came to her senses,,displaying a gentle smile as she patted the little ones’ heads, though her eyes were still slightly red.

She then took out a food box from her Storage Bag and let the children start eating.

Although taking fasting pills would prevent hunger,

these children were still young and growing, and they would often crave food.

“Changsheng, to think Qingshan actually possesses a Metal attribute spiritual body.”

“Now that he’s been accepted as a disciple by a Golden Core cultivator, his future is limitless, and he might even have a chance at forming a Golden Core.”

“Moreover, Qingshan is so sensible. Even after being accepted as a disciple by the Golden Core cultivator, he still thought to care for his sister and requested the Golden Core cultivator to accept little Zhu’er as a disciple too.”

“Now that little Zhu’er has also been accepted as a disciple by the Golden Core cultivator, perhaps both children will successfully reach Foundation Establishment in the future.”

Lu Miaoge watched the childree start to eat, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds in the direction where the divine light had disappeared, lost in thought.

She wanted to share this news with her husband.

But remembering that Lu Changsheng was still away and hadn’t returned, her heart grew heavy with worry.

She took several deep breaths, exhaling slowly to calm her inner turmoil.

Then she carefully examined the token given by Yan Yuan and put it away safely.

This token from a Golden Core cultivator not only allowed them to visit the Golden Sun Sect,

but in the future, if Qingzhu Mountain faced danger, it might also serve as a deterrent.

After the children finished eating and rested for a while, Lu Miaoge piloted the Spirit oat, continuing to fly towards Green River Market with the children.

With Lu Qingshan gone, the entire Spirit Boat was quieter than usual.

Four days later.

Lu Miaoge piloted the Spirit oat, arriving at Green River Market.

Due to the demonic cultivation incident, all Markets under Azure Cloud Sect’s name were on high alert, increasing patrols.

At this time, cultivators patrolled dozens of miles around the Market.

After landing outside the Market, Lu Miaoge took out her Communncation Talisman with Xiao Xiyue.

Shortly after.

Xiao Xiyue appeared.

She wore a moon-white dress, her face cold and elegant, her aura noble and pure. She was like a lofty, pristine moon, keeping people at a distance.

“Immortal Xiyue!”

“Immortal Xiao!”

“Aunt Xiyue!”

The Azure Cloud Sect disciples at the Market saw Xiao Xiyue and immediately bowed in greeting.

“Mm.”

Xiao Xiyue nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes calm and imposing, like a winter night’s moon, emanating an intimidating aura.

However, when she saw Lu Miaoge and the infant in hhr arms, her eyes softened.

Her aura was no longer as cold and intimidating.

Besides Lu Changsheng, only her daughter Lu Wangshu could make her Supreme Emotionless state cease.

“Miaoge, did you encounter any issues on your trip here?”

Xiao Xiyue stepped forward, seeing Lu Miaoge holding her daughtee and accompanied by so many children, and inquired.

“Xiyue.”

Lu Miaoge immediately explainnd her family’s situation and the purpose of this trip.

“Alright, no problem.”

Xiao Xiyue, hearing it was just a precautionary measure and nothing serious had happened, nodded.

She then had someone arrange identity Jade Tokens and accommodations for Lu Miaoge and the others..

As the head of Green River Market, such matters were trivial for her.

Seeing Lu Wangshu awake, Xiao Xiyue’s face softened as she held her daughter, her eyes radiating maternal love.

Several Azure Cloud Sect disciples witnessing this were dumbfounded, as if they’d seen a ghost.

They never imagined that the usually cold and noble Immortal Xiyue had such a tender side.

At the same time, they secretly marveled at how close this woman must be to Xiao Xiyue for her child to have Immortal Xiyue as a godmother.

They immediately became more attentive and efficient in handling Lu Miaoge’s affairs..

After settling the children in their accommodations, Lu Miaoge chatted casually wiih Xiao Xiyue.

“Miaoge, don’t worry. Changsheng must have been delayed by something, he won’t be in danger.”

“He should be back after some time.”

Xiao Xiyue, noticing Lu Miaoge’s worried expressioo upon hearing Lu Changsheng hadn’t returned, comforted her.

She knew Lu Changsheng’s abilities and trusted his strength.

She had recently heard from the sect that while investigating the Xiahou family incident, her senior sister was severely injured by Xiahou Wuwo.

Fortunately, she was saved by Real Man Chiyan, who was passing by on a spirit ship.

But her senior sister Chu Qingyi was afflicted by corpse poison, and it was the ‘rogue cultivator Han Li’ who treated her.

So she firmly believed that Lu Changsheng wouldn’t encounter any danger, just delayed by something.

“Mm.”

Hearing Xiao Xiyue’s words, Lu Miaoge nodded gently..

Her worry for Lu Changsheng decreased somewhat.

After all, as a disciple of an immortal sect and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, not to mention her dao companion relationship with her husband, Xiao Xiyue’s words were very convincing.

After chatting for a while, she brought up her children, Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu.

She asked Xiao Xiyue about Immortal Tian Yuan of Golden Sun Sect and the Golden Sun Trading Company’s spirit ship.

Although she knew about the Golden Sun Sect of Yue Kingdom,

She wasn’t clear about Immortal Tian Yuan or the Golden Sun Trading Company’s spirit ship.

This information was beyond her usual reach.

Xiao Xiyue didn’t know much about this either.

She said she would look into it later.

Once she had relevant information, she would inform Lu Miaoge..

She also reassured Lu Miaoge that Golden Sun Secc was a righteous sect.

As a Golden Core cultivator, Immortal Tian Yuan naturally had the demeanor of one, so she could rest easy.

That day.

Outside Qingzhu Mountain.

A Spirit Boat landed.

“Finally back.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the familiar Qingzhu Mountain, a smile appearing on his face.

“Let’s go, Zixiao.”

He then turned to Ling Zixiao beside him, his expression gentle as he held her hand and stepped off the Spirit Boat.

Now that he had brought Ling Zixiao home to an unfamiliar environment, he naturally wanted to give her a sense of security.

“Changsheng, you’re back?”

“Ninth Elder!”

At the mountain gate, the Lu Family guard elder saw Lu Changsheng and immediately showed a delighted expression.

As a Second-Tier Talisman Master, Lu Changsheng had considerable prestige in the Lu Family.

His return from his journey naturally excited people.

“Yes, this trip out caused everyone to worry.”

Lu Changsheng said with a light chuckle.

He then introduced to the Lu Family elder, “This is my dao companion, Ling Zixiao.”

“Dao companion?”

The elder, hearing this, glanced at Ling Zixiao.

Her features weren’t exceptionally beautiful, just above average.

Her face was pale and bloodless, appearing very weak and frail.

But her bright, spirited eyes and graceful, elegant demeanor were enough to show her extraordinary nature at a glance.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Ling.”

The elder said politely.

He wasn’t too concerned about Lu Changsheng finding a dao companion.

As an elder of the Lu Family, he had watched Lu Changsheng grow up.

He clearly remembered that Lu Changsheng used to bring back a group of concubines every time he returned home.

Now, after being away for so long, bringing back only one dao companion was already quite restrained.

However, thinking of the family’s recent situation and Lu Changsheng’s complete lack of communication,

Now returning with a dao companion, he felt a bit uncomfortable.

But he didn’t say anything.

He opened the mountain gate formation, letting Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao enter.

“Hum!!!”

The moment Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao entered Qingzhu Mountain, the protective formation flickered slightly.

It caused a faint spiritual pressure to emanate from Lu Changsheng’s body.

“Hm!? What’s going on!”

“Not good, Foundation Establishment! There’s Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure!”

The elder and several guard disciples, seeing this, were instantly alarmed.

But the next moment, realizing this Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure came from Lu Changsheng,

They immediately looked at Lu Changsheng with expressions of shock, surprise, and disbelief.

“During this trip, I had some fortuitous encounters, so I luckily achieved Foundation Establishment while away.”

Lu Changsheng, seeing everyone’s surprised and incredulous looks, smiled and said.

He had no intention of hiding his strength upon returning.

He planned to directly reveal his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

Unexpectedly, the family’s formation immediately sensed the spiritual power in his body.

Beside him, Ling Zixiao glanced at Lu Changsheng, inwardly cursing.

What did he mean by “luckily achieved Foundation Establishment”?

He had clearly broken through to mid Foundation Establishment.

But she had seen Lu Changsheng’s intelligence reports.

She knew that for Lu Changsheng to reach mid Foundation Establishment in his situation was truly shocking.

If word got out, some cultivators might think Lu Changsheng had obtained some great opportunity,

And might try to seize it, causing trouble.

But remembering Lu Changsheng’s combat power when he killed five robber cultivators, she felt that unless a Golden Core cultivator came,

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would be no match for Lu Changsheng.

“Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!?”

“Changsheng, you say you’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment!”

The Lu Family elder, hearing this, his face full of shock and disbelief, repeated to confirm.

Even though he had seen the family formation sense Lu Changsheng’s Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure, he still couldn’t quite believe it.

He couldn’t believe Lu Changsheng had actually broken through to Foundation Establishment!

After all, this was Foundation Establishment, a great cultivator!

“Yes, didn’t you see it?”

Lu Changsheng said, as Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure emerged from his body.

Of course, he only revealed the spiritual energy of early Foundation Establishment.

“Good, good, good.”

The Lu Family elder trembled with excitement, repeatedly praising.

The Lu Family’s current situation wasn’t good, and now Lu Changsheng, this Second-Tier Talisman Master, had not only returned,

But had also broken through to Foundation Establishment, becoming a great cultivator. Naturally, this made him extremely excited and happy.

But the next moment, he saw Lu Changsheng looking a bit at a loss, not knowing what to say.

After all, previously when facing Lu Changsheng, he could still rely on his age and call him “Changsheng.”

But now, Lu Changsheng had broken through to Foundation Establishment, leaving him momentarily unsure how to act.

“I’ll go inform the Patriarch and Family Head of this news.”

He said to Lu Changsheng.

He quickly sent messages to Lu Yuanzhong, Lu Yuanshan Ding, Lu Miaochang, and others.

Informing them that Lu Changsheng had returned.

And that Lu Changsheng had broken through to Foundation Establishment!
