Chapter 254: Family Formation Complete, Time to Plant Trees!

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

With the new family rules, all Lu Family members aged fourteen could actively apply for family affairs.

While not everyone could be like Lu Xian’er, Lu Ruyi, and Lu Quanzhen, directly managing a workshop.

But everyone was assigned tasks related to Spirit Fields, fishing areas, shops, and other business matters.

They could also choose to work on specific projects in the three main workshops, or pick a family skill to improve.

If the family school didn’t offer a particular skill, but you had ideas and were brave enough to try, the family would provide relevant teachings and some funding for you to experiment.

Under these circumstances, these children were full of enthusiasm.

After all, they knew that at this stage of the family’s development, if they worked hard, they could still compete for positions.

If they waited until the family grew larger, with more people and talented individuals like Lu Qingxian and Lu Wangshu growing up, those without special skills would only be able to live off the family.

Moreover, even if the children didn’t fully understand, their mothers knew that the family’s early stages were the best opportunity for their kids.

If their child showed unusual abilities or talents, they might catch Lu Changsheng’s attention and receive special training.

Even if their child wasn’t particularly talented, as long as they worked hard, they could still gain control over some family businesses, which would benefit them in cultivation or starting their own families in the future.

Seeing all the family’s children becoming active, Lu Changsheng stopped paying close attention.

He handed over these matters to Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhnzhen, Bai Feifei, and Zheng Yongwan.

After all, he still had to cultivate daily, make talismans, refine the Nine-Treasure Jade Ruyi, and treat Ling Zixiao’s injuries. He really didn’t have much free time to worry about so many things.

On this day, Ling Zixiao told Lu Changsheng that the family’s grand formation on Bihu Mountain, which had taken a year and two and a half months, was finally completed.

“It’s finally finished, huh?”

Lu Changsheng’s face showed a faint smile upon hearing this news.

From his casual chats with Ling Zixiao, he naturally knew why the family formation had taken so long and cost so many Spirit Stones to repair.

Now that he learned the formation was completely fixed, he was quite excited about this new array.

The two walked out of Hall of Everlasting Life and came to the mountain gate.

Mo Shouren and others were waiting there. Seeing Lu Changsheng, they politely said, “Friend Lu, your family’s grand formation has been repaired. We’re just waiting for you to inspect it.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Master Mo and everyone else.”

Lu Changsheng said, clasping his hands.

Since Ling Zixiao had supervised and participated in the entire process of this formation, now that it was complete, he was naturally very reassured.

However, as the mountain lord, he still needed to inspect and confirm before Mo Shouren could return to report.

“Haha, Friend Lu, you’re too kind.”

“This formation has been almost completely overhauled from the original Bihu Qingtian Formation. Not only have we adjusted and reduced the previous weak points, upgrading it to a Top-Tier Second-Tier formation, but we’ve also added three transformations.”

Master Mo took out the formation disc and explained, demonstrating for Lu Changsheng.

In an instant, the originally faint mist on Bihu Mountain visibly thickened, turning a deep blue color. Apart from the fish-like runes swimming through it, there were also threads of lightning-like energy permeating the air.

“This first transformation is called ‘Gui Water Divine Thunder’!”

“The formation can unleash Gui Water Divine Thunder for attacks. Each strike is comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s attack, and at its strongest, it can call down Gui Water Divine Thunder equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator’s full-power strike!”

As Master Mo spoke, he made hand seals and took out a small green flag, waving it vigorously.

“Boom!”

Instantly, the formation’s spiritual pressure surged. Countless blue lightning balls appeared, and in the sky above, dark clouds gathered. A huge azure lightning bolt was brewing, emanating a terrifying aura.

“This Gui Water Divine Thunder is only suitable for large-scale attacks, right?”

Lu Changsheng looked up at the brewing thunder in the sky and said.

“That’s correct. The Third-Tier Gui Water Divine Thunder consumes a lot of energy and is only suitable for large-area attacks. If a group of enemies comes, when the Gui Water Divine Thunder falls, they’ll all turn to ash.”

Master Mo explained.

As he spoke, he made hand seals and continued to demonstrate and introduce: “This second transformation is called ‘Jade Water Layered Flow’. It can manipulate the lake’s water veins, not only to control the lake water against enemies but also to raise a layer of water mist to block Divine Sense.”

The formation rumbled and surged. The previously widespread lightning dissipated. In the distant Bishui Lake, the calm water surface became turbulent, with pillars of water shooting into the sky. Layers of misty water spread out, covering parts of the formation area with what seemed like a layer of flowing water and mist.

“Manipulating the water veins for defense will have some impact on your family’s Bishui Lake, so I won’t demonstrate too much.”

“This layer of lake water can increase the formation’s defense by about 30%. As for the water mist, it not only enhances the formation’s defense to some extent but also has the effect of blocking Divine Sense.”

“Many formation masters can use eye techniques, Divine Sense, or methods to break formations by finding their weak points. With this layer of water mist, it can provide a certain blocking effect, making it difficult for others to find flaws.”

Master Mo held the formation disc and explained.

Lu Changsheng looked towards the area covered by the formation’s water mist and probed with his Divine Sense.

He found that his Divine Sense was indeed somewhat blocked, but the effect wasn’t particularly strong.

However, considering that the formation wasn’t operating at full power, and his Divine Sense had already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, this was normal.

“The third effect is called ‘Heavy Water Suppression’. This is thanks to Friend Lu’s quasi-Magical Treasure ‘Heavy Water Pearl’. Using the Heavy Water Pearl as the formation’s eye, it forms a layered array, giving the inner part of the formation some law-suppressing effects.”

“When the formation is activated, ordinary Qi Refining cultivators who enter the array cannot fly on magical instruments. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators who want to fly or use flying instruments will have to consume two to three times more spiritual power.”

Master Mo explained, and as he spoke, he directed part of the ‘Heavy Water Suppression’ effect onto Lu Changsheng, letting him experience it.

Lu Changsheng immediately felt his body become heavier. When he tried to rise into the air, it felt as if he was carrying a thousand pounds. He had to use much more spiritual power to levitate.

“This effect is very good.”

Lu Changsheng nodded with satisfaction.

He knew that places like Jiulong Market and Qingyun Market Town all had flying prohibition restrictions.

But he had never tried flying in these Market towns before.

Now, this ‘Heavy Water Suppression’ effect in his own home had some similarities to those restrictions.

It’s worth noting that Foundation Establishment cultivators under the array’s effect would have to use two to three times more spiritual power to fly, making it much harder for them to escape if they entered the formation.

Moreover, just one ‘Ocean Pearl’ could produce such an effect.

If Ling Zixiao’s body recovered and all thirty-six Ocean Pearls were arranged, the ‘Heavy Water Suppression’ effect might be able to directly suppress Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even Golden Core true persons would be somewhat affected.

It was equivalent to using spiritual veins to activate the Ocean Pearl, a Magical Treasure.

“Friend Lu, this is the current situation of the formation and its three transformations.”

Mo Shouren handed the formation disc and flag to Lu Changsheng and continued, “If Friend Lu has no questions, I’ll return to report. As for the specific details and other aspects of the formation, with Friend Ling here, I don’t think I need to explain much more.”

As he spoke, he looked at Ling Zixiao with some regret.

Through their daily interactions, he knew that Ling Zixiao’s skills in formation techniques were not far behind his own.

But due to her physical condition, her cultivation had been greatly reduced, making it difficult for her to even set up or fully operate a formation, which was truly a pity.

“Of course, there’s no problem. Master Mo, you’ve worked hard these days setting up and repairing the formation for our Bihu Mountain.”

“This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Master.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately took out a prepared gift and said.

Although the other party had set up the formation at his request through the Cloud Peak token, and all materials were provided by his family.

But after all, it took more than a year, and during the process, not only did they repair the main formation, but they also set up ground fire formations for the family’s pill refining room, Equipment Refining room, and puppet workshop to nurture fire veins.

In this situation, it was only natural to show some appreciation.

Moreover, establishing a connection with such a formation grandmaster was a good thing.

He then took out two gift boxes for Master Mo’s two disciples.

Although these two were still Qi Refining cultivators and first-Tier formation masters, they were quite promising, so it was worth gaining their goodwill.

“Friend Lu, you’re too kind. During these days of setting up the formation and exchanging ideas with Friend Ling, I’ve also benefited greatly.”

Mo Shouren didn’t refuse and accepted the gift box with a smile.

“Thank you, Mountain Lord Lu!”

Seeing this, the two disciples also politely accepted the gift boxes.

“In that case, Friend Lu, Friend Ling, I’ll take my leave.”

Mo Shouren said, clasping his hands.

“Take care, Master Mo.”

Lu Changsheng opened the gate and politely saw his guests out.

Then Mo Shouren summoned a Spirit Boat and left with his two disciples.

“You three have worked hard these past few days.”

Lu Changsheng turned to Lu Yuanshan Ding, who had invited the three formation masters for him, and said.

He paid them Spirit Stones and gave each two Second-Tier talismans.

This wasn’t because he had money to spare, but because the family was in its building phase. It was important to establish a good reputation in these small matters.

It would be beneficial in the future when looking for people to work for them, or inviting guest elders.

“Thank you, Sect Master Lu!”

“Sect Master Lu is too kind.”

Though these three were formation masters, they were very polite and seemed honored.

After all, Lu Changsheng before them was not only a Foundation Establishment cultivator and Talisman Master, but he had also single-handedly killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators and now had close ties with the Azure Cloud Sect.

In this situation, they naturally hoped to establish good relations with Lu Changsheng and Bihu Mountain.

“My Bihu Mountain is newly established and we’re eager for talent. If you three are interested, you could serve as guest elders here.”

After the pleasantries, Lu Changsheng said.

Formation masters were needed in every family.

Not just for the family’s main formation, but for many other uses as well.

Although the three were very average, only upper-Tier formation masters, it was enough to serve as guest elders.

“This…”

Hearing this, the three wanted to refuse.

After all, with their level of formation skills, they could serve as guest elders in many family factions.

“If you three serve as guest elders at my Bihu Mountain and make sufficient contributions, I have Second-Tier formation inheritance and my insights on formations to offer.”

Seeing this, Ling Zixiao spoke softly.

Hearing this, the three immediately showed conflicted expressions.

Over the past year, they had witnessed Ling Zixiao’s formation skills.

If they could obtain Second-Tier formation inheritance and Ling Zixiao’s guidance, their formation skills might advance further.

In the end, two of the three were tempted and expressed willingness to serve as guest elders at Bihu Mountain.

Then, Lu Changsheng signed Spirit Contracts with the two.

The two would serve as elders at Bihu Mountain, maintaining the family’s main formation and teaching formation knowledge to the Lu Family.

Lu Changsheng offered them a basic salary of sixty Spirit Stones per month.

As for tasks like setting up formations, additional pay would be given.

After settling this, Lu Changsheng told Lu Miaoyun about the two and aked her to arrange new accommodations for them at Bihu Mountain.

“Zixiao, are there any other changes needed for the family formation?”

Lu Changsheng turned to Ling Zixiao and asked.

“Don’t worry, dear. The formation is now completely stable. The only issue is that connecting to the water veins and lake water means that when the formation runs at full power, it will affect Bishui Lake’s ecology.”

“But this problem will naturally be solved once I set up the formation with all thirty-six Ocean Pearls later.”

Ling Zixiao said.

“Zixiao, thank you for your hard work.”

Lu Changsheng held Ling Zixiao’s delicate white hand and said softly.

“There’s no need for that, dear. As a member of the family now, I should naturally work for it.”

Ling Zixiao said with a slight smile.

She had known Lu Changsheng for three and a half years.

In these three and a half years, while she couldn’t say she was completely in love with Lu Changsheng, she did have many feelings for him.

Especially in the past year, due to her serious injury, Lu Changsheng had spent the most time with her and paid the most attention to her.

And during this time, Lu Miaoge would come every haaf month to treat her and nourish her meridians and dantian.

She didn’t speak much about these things, but she remembered them all in her heart.

Since Lu Changsheng was willing to give true feelings for true feelings, she was naturally willing to reciprocate, heart for heart.

“Zixiao, you should have a formation that can conceal Third-Tier spirit plants, right?”

Lu Changsheng asked Ling Zixiao.

Now that the family formation was fully set up, he was ready to plant the Lingming Treasure Tree.

“A Third-Tier spirit plant!?”

Hearing this, Ling Zixiao was somewhat surprised.

It’s worth noting that Third-Tier spirit plants, also known as heaven and earth spirit plants, are extremely precious and rare.

Except for certain secret realms or immortal sects, very few factions cultivate Third-Tier spirit plants.

Firstly, these plants are rare and hard to find. It’s very difficult to transplant them to your own place.

Even if transplanted, if the soil and environment aren’t suitable, they might die, wasting a heavenly treasure.

Another point is that they’re not easy to cultivate!

Third-Tier spirit plants need to be planted on at least Second-Tier spiritual veins.

The spiritual energy they require is no less than what a Foundation Establishment cultivator needs for cultivation.

To grow well, they need to be planted on Third-Tier spiritual veins.

“Does my lord have a Third-Tier spirit plant? Where do you plan to plant it?”

“Currently, only Biyun Peak in Bihu Mountain has Second-Tier spiritual veins.”

Ling Zixiao didn’t ask Lu Changsheng about the Third-Tier spirit plant.

After all, in her eyes, Lu Changsheng was incredibly mysterious, so having a Third-Tier spirit plant was not unbelievable.

But through their long interaction, she knew Lu Changsheng’s understanding of the cultivation world was still limited, so she worried he might not know these things.

“I’ve been keeping an area behind Lingxiu Cliff specifically to plant this spirit plant.”

“Given Lingxiu Cliff’s condition, it should be barely enough to keep the spirit plant alive.”

“As for Biyun Peak, I have other plans for it later.”

Lu Changsheng said.

He planned to use Biyun Peak to plant the Sumeru Tree King.

Moreover, he, Ling Zixiao, and Lu Miaoge would cultivate on iyun Peak in the future.

If both the Lingming Tree King and Sumeru Tree King were planted on Biyun Peak, it would severely affect the spiritual energy situation there.

As for planting the Lingming Treasure Tree on Lingxiu Cliff, he had previously asked Zhao Qingqing, who said it might slightly affect growth, but shouldn’t be a major problem.

“If the spirit plant isn’t too large, I have a ‘Heavenly Screen Sumeru Formation’ that can conceal and isolate its aura.”

Ling Zixiao said after thinking for a moment.

Lu Changsheng pondered and said, “It’s not very large, but not small either.”

Then, the two came to Lingxiu Cliff.

“Greetings, Sect Master! Greetings, Lady!”

“Father, Aunt Ling!”

The cultivators busy on Lingxiu Cliff and their children immediately bowed upon seeing Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao.

Because Lu Changsheng disliked being called ‘Old Ancestor’ and they were all quite young.

So the family cultivators called him Sect Master and addressed Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge, the two FoundationnEstablishment cultivators, as Lady.

Some concubines also addressed Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge this way..

Only Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Q Zhenzhen, being closer, called them sisters.

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded in acknowledgment and went with Ling Zixiao to the spirit field area he had reserved.

“My lord, are you planning to plant the Third-Tier spirit plant here?”

Ling Zixiao looked at Lu Changsheng and asked.

“That’s right.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh——”

Ling Zixiao nodded, patted her Storage Bag, and a formation disc appeared. Rows of formation flags scattered out as she began to make hand seals to set up the formation.

This ‘Heavenly Screen Sumeru Formation’, being a simple formation with a formation disc and flags, was set up in no time.

She activated the formation, causing a faint white light to spread around, concealing this area.

“Extract.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng took out the Xuan Yuan Pearl from his dantian, then focused his mind to extract the Lingming Treasure Tree from the system space.

As the spiritual power in the Xuan Yuan Pearl surged, a tree about ten feet tall and as thick as a water tank appeared. It had no leaves, its bark was cracked and rough, but it was blue-gold in color and full of vitality.

This was the Lingming Treasure Tree!

The whole tree looked rather plain, making it hard to associate with a Third-Tier spirit plant.

It looked more like a large, elongated boulder.

However, at the roots of the Lingming Treasure Tree, blue-gold light flowed, concentrating rich vitality, showing the extraordinary nature of this treasure tree.

“This is my Third-Tier spirit plant, the Lingming Treasure Tree. I’ve been keeping it in a heavenly treasure, preserving it well.”

Although Lu Changsheng knew the general appearance of the Lingming Treasure Tree through the system space.

Seeing the actual tree, he still thought it was quite ugly.

He wondered if Lu Miaoyun and the others woul dislike it when using it to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique.

“Lingming Treasure Tree? Heavenly treasure?”

Ling Zixiao turned to look at Lu Changsheng, feeling as if he was shrouded in a deep mist.

Not only did he have such a rare item as a Third-Tier spirit plant.

He even had a legendary heavenly treasure that could directly store such a spirit plant.

She looked at the Lingming Treasure Tree, examining it closely: “This is the first time I’ve seen a living Third-Tier spirit plant.”

“This Lingming Treasure Tree produces Lingming Essence Liquid at its roots every thirty years.”

“This essence can be used to wipe your eyes, making them clear and bright. It also enhances spirit eye techniques and abilities.”

“Zixiao, as a formation master, you can use this essence to wipe your eyes in the future.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

As he spoke, he took out his Magical Sword and began digging a large hole to plant the Lingming Treasure Tree.

He then took out several jars of Spirit Liquid he had prepared earlier and poured them over the Lingming Treasure Tree.

“Spirit Liquid enhances spirit eye techniques?”

Ling Zixiao, hearing this, looked at the Lingming Treasure Tree with interest.

As a formation master, she had been cultivating eye techniques.

If she could improve her eye techniques by even a few percent, it would greatly help in both combat and formation aspects.

She said with a smile, “Thank you, husband.”

“There’s no need for thanks between us.”

“However, it will take thirty years for this Spirit Liquid to condense. We’ll have to wait a while.”

Lu Changsheng said with a laugh.

He then handed a Jade Slip to Ling Zixiao and said, “Zixiao, take a look at this technique.”

He had read this Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique many times, but now that he wanted to teach it to Lu Miaoyun and the others, he hought to let Ling Zixiao see it as well.

After all, through their long interaction, he had to admit that Ling Zixiao’s comprehension ability was higher than his own.

“Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique?”

Ling Zixiao’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise when she saw this technique. She asked Lu Changsheng, “Husband, are you planning to have someone cultivate this Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique using the Lingming Treasure Tree?”

“Yes, Zixiao, you know about this technique?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised that Ling Zixiao knew about this technique after just a quick glance.

“Someone once traded this technique for a set of formations from me, so I happen to know about it.”

Ling Zixiao nodded and explained.

“I see.”

Lu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this.

He had thought this technique was quite rare when he first saw its effects, but he didn’t expect Ling Zixiao to have a copy as well.

Not dwelling on it, he said, “Miaoyun, Huanhuan, and Zhenzhen have average spirit root quality. It will be very difficult for them to break through to Foundation Establishment in the future.”

“So I thought of letting them cultivate this technique. This way, they might have a chance at Foundation Establishment and even Golden Core Formation in the future.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, exhaled softly, and said with some emotion.

When he obtained this ‘Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique’, his first thought was of his wives and children at home.

Though he had cultivated for so many years and knew that even with his system, he couldn’t elevate everyone.

But if he had the ability, he would still follow his initial intention and help as many as possible.

Hearing this, Ling Zixiao was slightly taken aback.

In the cultivation world, she had seen the coldness of human nature and experienced much deception and intrigue.

Lu Changsheng was the strangest person she had ever met.

He was exceptionally talented and unparalleled in ability. If he just focused on cultivation, he could surely achieve great things.

Yet he was like a mortal, with multiple wives and children, spending much of his time on his family.

She had seen cultivators like Lu Changsheng before, with multiple wives.

But most of these cultivators treated their wives as tools, playthings, or furnaces.

None were like Lu Changsheng, who treated each person seriously, full of optimism and human warmth.

And now, Lu Changsheng was even considering his wives’ spirit root talents, thinking of helping them achieve Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Formation.

At this moment, she didn’t know how to describe Lu Changsheng anymore.

If you say he’s affectionate, he has multiple wives.

If you say he’s heartless, he spends much of his time on his wives and children.

He even considers future Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Formation for wives who have no hope of reaching Foundation Establishment.

Ling Zixiao’s thoughts churned as she recalled how Lu Changsheng had treated her.

Even though she knew that Lu Changsheng’s partnership with her was full of practical considerations, his sincere treatment over the past three years had indeed made her willing to reciprocate.

“Who does husband plan to let cultivate this Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique first?”

Ling Zixiao looked at Lu Changsheng and asked softly.

She had seen this technique and knew that cultivation required a heaven and earth spirit plant.

Currently, Lu Changsheng only had one heaven and earth spirit plant.

“Miaoyun.”

“Miaoyun actually has a gentle nature, but as the main wife of the family, she’s always been trying hard to fulfill this responsibility.”

“She’s attentive to everything daily, partly because of the pressure she feels and her lack of security.”

“For so many years, Miaoyun has been managing the family affairs. So I thought of giving this Lingming Treasure Tree to Miaoyun for cultivation. This way, she won’t have to overthink things anymore.”

Lu Changsheng sighed slightly as he spoke.

Currently, there was only one spirit plant, so only one person could cultivate.

It wasn’t easy for him to choose.

But if he had to choose, after considering various aspects, he still decided to give it to Lu Miaoyun.

“With this Lingming Treasure Tree, Miaoyun can cultivate the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique. While Golden Core Formation might be a stretch, Foundation Establishment shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Moreover, this Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique extends lifespan to 300 years after breaking through to Foundation Establishment. With husband’s talent, you should be able to achieve Golden Core Formation within a hundred years.”

“By then, you can upgrade the spirit veins and properly nurture this Lingming Treasure Tree. At that time, Miaoyun might have a chance at Golden Core Formation as well.”

Ling Zixiao nodded with a smile.

The cultivation speed of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique was related to the growth of the spirit plant.

To make a Third-Tier spirit plant grow quickly, naturally, it would need the abundant spiritual energy of Third-Tier spirit veins.

“Yes, that’s what I was thinking too.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Then, he walked out of the formation with Ling Zixiao and announced that he had set up a formation in the spirit field area behind the cliff, and no one from the family was allowed to approach.

“Yes, Sect Master!”

“Yes, Father!”

Everyone responded respectfully upon hearing this.

After leaving Lingxiu Cliff, Lu Changsheng went to the Lu Family Mansion and found Lu Miaoyun. He took out a JadeSlip containing the technique and said, “Miaoyun, spend some time studying this technique carefully.”

“If you have any doubts or don’t understand something, come ask me or Zixiao.”

Lu Changsheng handed the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique to Lu Miaoyun and said.

“A technique?”

Lu Miaoyun was a bit surprisedbut still nodded and replied, “Yes, husband.”

She then began to examine the technique in the Jade Slip.

After a moment, she looked surprised and said in a daze, “Husband, this technique…”

“That’s right. I recently obtained a Third-Tier spirit plant while I was away. I’ve planted it behind Lingxiu Cliff.”

“Once you’ve comprehended this technique, you can go to the back of the cliff and refine the spirit plant into your ‘natal spirit root’. This way, you’ll be able to achieve Foundation Establishment and even Golden Core Formation in the future.”

Lu Changsheng gently pinched his wife’s fair and beautiful cheek, smiling as he spoke softly.

Because Lu Miaoyun and the others had een taking beauty pills, they still looked like they were in their late twenties.

“A Third-Tier spirit plant.”

Lu Miaoyun bit her lip lightlyand said softly, “Husband, we only have one spirit plant in the family. This technique could be given to Sister Huanhuan, or Zhenzhen, Xian’er, and the others to cultivate…”

“I said you’re going to cultivate it, so just listen and cultivate it well.”

“I’ll naturally have arrangements for Huanhuan and Zhenzhen later.”

Lu Changsheng said, his tone leaving no room for argument.

“Alright, I’ll do as husband says.”

Hearing this, Lu Miaoyun smiled and obedienty agreed.

“That’s more like it.”

Lu Changsheng cupped his wife’s face and gave her a kiss, smiling.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to inform Lu Miaohuan and Qu Zhenzhen about this matter.

After all, in his view, it wasn’t about having too little, but about uneven distribution.

To prevent his wives from feeling upset when they found out later, he felt it was better to explain it proactively.

Lu Miaohuan had no objections when she heard this. On one hand, she had seen everything Miaoyun had done over the years and fully approved of her sister.

On the other hand, cultivating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique meant one couldn’t stray too far from the spirit plant, making it impossible to leave Bihu Mountain.

She was still hoping that once the family was stable, she could go with Lu Changsheng to visit their son at the Golden Sun Sect in Yue Kingdom.

As for Qu Zhenzhen, she was purely carefree and felt it was natural for Lu Changsheng to give this technique to Lu Miaoyun.

Among the wives in the family, she could be said to be the most worry-free, neither competing nor fighting, basically being pampered by everyone.

After clarifying this matter, Lu Changsheng thought of the Sumeru Tree King in his system space.

“The Sumeru Tree King is a Third-Tier demon king. Ordinary formations might not be enough to conceal its aura.”

“Given Zixiao’s current physical condition, it’s best not to set up a large formation. I should wait until I’ve refined the Nine-Treasure Jade Ruyi and Zixiao’s body has improved somewhat. Once the formation is properly prepared, then I can release the Sumeru Tree King.”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Changsheng made up his mind.

Half a year later.

In the closed cultivation cave of Hall of Everlasting Life.

“Boom boom boom—”

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, a thunderous sound coming from within his body. His entire being emitted a surging, magnificent, and terrifying aura.

This aura filled the entire Cave Dwelling, causing Lu Changsheng’s body to tremble slightly. He felt like a small boat in a vast ocean, about to be overturned by giant waves at any moment.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The spiritual light of Spiritual Energy surged within Lu Changsheng’s chest, causing his face to twist in pain.

He was in the final stage of refining the Nine-Treasure Jade Ruyi into his natal treasure bone!

As the Nine-Treasure Jade Ruyi was about to transform into the natal treasure bone, Lu Changsheng’s chest bones seemed to be forged by countless divine craftsmen, emitting metallic sounds.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in the Cave Dwelling rushed madly into his chest bones.

Lu Changsheng himself took out Spirit Stones one by one and swallowed pills to stimulate the refinement of his natal treasure bone.

“Boom!”

After an unknown amount of time, his chest suddenly became scorching hot, radiating dazzling light and releasing a terrifying wave of energy.

This terrifying aura was sensed by Xiao Xiyue and Ling Zixiao in Hall of Everlasting Life, and even many people on Biyun Peak felt it at this moment.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Above Hall of Everlasting Life, clouds and mist rolled and surged, even forming a small spiritual energy vortex that moved with the rise and fall of Lu Changsheng’s chest.

“What’s happening with Changsheng?”

“Such a terrifying aura!”

Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue both looked towards Lu Changsheng’s secluded Cave Dwelling, unsure of what was happening inside.

“What’s going on?”

“A spiritual energy vortex… Is someone attempting Foundation Establishment?”

“When Lady Miaoge broke through to Foundation Establishment earlier, it was clearly much larger than this.”

“Who in our family could break through to Foundation Establishment now?”

On Biyun Peak, everyone was confused, not knowing why there was suddenly such a commotion in their home.

Lu Changsheng was unaware of the disturbance he was causing.

At this moment, his chest heaved continuously as his natal treasure bone gradually took shape, like a dazzling sun, radiating brilliant light.

As the divine power of the natal treasure bone surged, strands of nine-colored霞 light flowed through his body, allowing him to clearly feel a profound and mysterious power awakening.

On his chest bones, dense and intricate mystical symbols gradually appeared, like heavenly script.

This was a divine ability!

A natal divine ability!

Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators could only practice techniques.

Only Golden Core Realm true persons could begin to comprehend, cultivate, and master Divine Abilities!

But now, relying on the Hundred Refined Body Technique and the Nine-Treasure Jade Ruyi, Lu Changsheng was beginning to master Divine Abilities at the Foundation Establishment stage!

And not just one, but nine great Divine Abilities!
