Chapter 296: Heavenly Restoration Pill, Five Elements Fruit, and a Reunion!

“Heh. Celestial Demon Body.”

Qu Changge looked at the bald man before him, his pupils revealing a hint of mockery as he sneered.

He put on a black dragon-patterned robe and said softly to Black Qiu, “I’m heading to Jiang Kingdom. Prepare some things for me.”

“What does the young master need?”

The bald man in black armor, covered in demonic patterns, looked up with a fawning expression.

“Hmm.”

Qu Changge pondered briefly and said, “Foundation Establishment Pills, Longevity Pills, Heavenly Restoration Pills, Dragon Scale Fruits, Five Elements Spirit Fruits, and Soul Nourishing Jade.”

After listing a bunch of pills and Natural Treasures, he added, “I want all the Heavenly Restoration Pills and Five Elements Spirit Fruits you currently have.”

“This…”

The bald man froze upon hearing this.

Then, with a hesitant expression, he said, “Young Master, Foundation Establishment Pills, Longevity Pills, and Dragon Scale Fruits are no problem given your status. You can have as many as you want.”

“But Heavenly Restoration Pills and Five Elements Spirit Fruits are extremely precious. The sect’s treasury doesn’t have many in stock. If you need them, we must get the Ancestor’s approval.”

Black Qiu spoke thus.

“In that case, go notify him.”

Qu Changge chuckled softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the spacious hall.

“This…”

Black Qiu’s face showed a bitter smile.

He then transformed into a rolling black mist, like a serpent-dragon, and arrived before a towering, mysterious palace that reached into the clouds.

In front of the palace was a wide square.

Around the square were black and red demonic flags, seemingly hiding countless demon heads, creating a mysterious and terrifying aura.

“Sect Leader, Black Qiu requests an audience!”

Black Qiu called out towards the palace, cupping his hands.

“Boom!”

The ten-foot-tall obsidian doors of the palace slowly opened.

Black Qiu entered the palace. At the top was a black, ferocious throne, surrounded by demonic statues and patterns on both sides.

“Black Qiu, what’s the matter?”

At this moment, a man in a dark robe with a vague appearance appeared on the throne.

His face was blurry, but he exuded an inexplicable sharp and dignified aura.

Especially his pair of dark pupils, which seemed able to pierce through everything.

“The young master has already condensed the Celestial Demon Body and is preparing to visit Jiang Kingdom. He also needs…”

The bald man in black armor, covered in demonic patterns, with deep-set features and a terrifying face, scratched his head and continued, “But the Ancestor is still in seclusion. This matter is significant, and I can’t make the decision. So I came to ask you, Sect Leader.”

“Celestial Demon Body? How long has it been, and he’s already condensed the Celestial Demon Body!?”

The dark-robed man on the throne was visibly moved upon hearing this.

“He can’t use these things himself. Clearly, he’s preparing them for someone else.”

He tapped his pale fingers on the armrest of the throne, muttering, “It seems he already understands his future fate. But these Heavenly Restoration Pills and Five Elements Spirit Fruits…”

“Give them to him.”

Just then, an old, calm voice sounded.

A youth wearing a black robe appeared out of thin air in the hall.

His jet-black hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin. He looked handsome and otherworldly, exuding an air of age and experience beyond his years.

“Greetings, Ancestor!”

“Greetings, Ancestor!”

The dark-robed man on the throne and Black Qiu quickly bowed upon seeing the youth.

“In at most a hundred years, the Blood Sea Patriarch will make his final move, stirring up chaos and sacrificing all living beings to break through to Divine Transformation.”

“My good disciple has condensed the Celestial Demon Body in just thirty years. When the chaos begins, it will be the opportunity for his Celestial Demon Body to fully mature, and also a chance for our Demonic Cult.”

“The fact that he proactively made such a request shows he’s aware of his future fate. Since that’s the case, we should satisfy his request.”

The youthful Ancestor spoke calmly, his eyes filled with the weight of years, hands clasped behind his back.

“Yes, Ancestor!”

The dark-robed man respectfully agreed.

Then he asked in a low voice, “Ancestor, since he knows his future, will he…”

“Hehe, don’t worry. My disciple isn’t one to easily submit to fate.”

“Moreover, by making such a request, he has already shown his attitude.”

The youthful Ancestor chuckled.

Then, he turned to the bald man and said, “When the time comes, you’ll accompany the young master. Follow his arrangements throughout and fulfill any requests to the best of your ability, understand?”

“Rest assured, Ancestor. I understand!”

The bald man grinned, his face full of fawning and eagerness to please.

“Ancestor, since the Blood River Patriarch intends to stir up chaos, should our Demonic Cult make preparations in advance?”

The dark-robed elder continued to look at the youthful Ancestor, asking respectfully.

“Hehe, of course.”

The youthful Ancestor smiled and said, “Before long, the Blood River Sect will discuss forming an alliance. When that time comes, you can handle it as you see fit.”

After speaking, he vanished from the hall.

“Farewell, Ancestor!”

The dark-robed man respectfully responded, his dark eyes showing a hint of joy.

It was very difficult for him to advance further at his current cultivation level. To break through, he needed a major opportunity!

But such opportunities were rare.

Yet chaos, turbulence, and change often came with opportunities and chances!

Half a year later.

Outside the Golden Sun Market.

A spirit ship slowly descended and came to a stop.

“Fellow Daoists, we’ve arrived at the Golden Sun Market.”

A deep and long message spread throughout the entire spirit ship.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng and his wives, Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan, diiembarked from the spirit ship.

Although this spirit ship was heading to the Golden Sun Sect, it didn’t go directly there.

Instead, it stopped at the largest Market under the Golden Sun Sect’s jurisdiction.

The three entered the Market and bought a map of the Yue Kingdom to check the location of the Golden Sun Sect.

From the Golden Sun Market to the Golden Sun Sect wasn’t far. It would take about two to three days by Spirit Boat.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng piloted a Spirit Boat, taking his wives Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan towwrds the Golden Sun Sect.

After all, they had spent so much time on this journey. Now that they were about to see their children, the three naturally had no interest in resting or sightseeing in the Market.

Two days later.

Lu Changsheng and the others arrived at the Golden Sun Sect.

The Golden Sun Sect was located in the center of a majestic mountain range.

The surrounding mountains had more metal ores than trees and spirit plants. Under the sunlight, they shimmered brilliantly, making even the clouds above tinge with a faint, dignified golden hue.

“So this is the Golden Sun Sect…”

The three arrived at the sect’s entrance, curiously observing the place where their children had been living.

Then, Lu Miaoge took out Immortal TTan Yuan’s token and asked the guard disciples to report their arrival.

“Husband…”

Lu Miaohuan looked at the Golden Sun Sect, biting her lip slightly, her face showing a mix of excitement, anticipation, nervousness, and uncertainty.

After all, she hadn’t seen her son in ten years.

About to meet her son, she suddenly didn’t know how to face him or what to say.

It wasn’t just her; Lu Miaoge also had a distant ook in her eyes as she gazed into the sect.

“It’s alright.”

Lu Changsheng held his wives’ delicate hands, giving them a gentle squeeze as he comforted them softly.

Compared to the two women, his mood was much calmer.

But thinking that he, as a father, hadn’t seen his children in twelve years…

Back then, the twins were barely as tall as his chest. Now, after twelve years, they must have grown into adults.

For a moment, Lu Changsheng’s thoughts drifted, and he felt eager to see his children.

About half an hour later.

“Caw!”

A crane’s cry rang out.

They saw a snow-white, majestic crane flying out from the Golden Sun Sect.

On it stood a tall youth wearing a golden-white robe. He had a handsome face, red lips, white teeth, and a heroic brow.

“Father, Mother, Aunt!”

Seeing Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, and Lu Miaohuan beeow, the youth’s face immediately lit up with excitement and joy. He leaped directly from the crane.

The three were stunned for a moment when they saw the youth.

From his features, they could see traces of their son Lu Qingshan’s childhood appearance.

But after so many years, their son had grown from a mischievous boy into a young man, changed beyond recognition.

“Qingshan!”

Lu Miaohuan looked at her son, her beautiful eyes reddening as she stepped forward and hugged him tightly.

After a moment, she let go and examined her son, pinching his face and arms.

“Ahem, ahem, Mother, I’m an adult now, not a child anymore.”

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

He slightly restrained the excitement and joy on his face, straightened his posture, and put on a composed look.

After all, he, Lu Qingshan, was now a person of some standing in the Golden Sun Sect.

If he were still treated like a child by his mother in public, it would truly damage his image.

“In your mother’s heart, you’ll always be a child. Has it been hard for you?”

Lu Miaohuan looked at her son, her eyes red and brimming with tears.

Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback, knowing his mother’s nature. Being away for so many years must have caused her a lot of worry and longing.

He wiped the tears from the corners of his mother’s eyes and grinned, “How could it be hard for me? It’s I who made you worry, Mother.”

“Look at me, do I look like I’ve suffered or had a hard time? Rather, Mother, you seem to have lost some weight. Has Father been bullying you?”

Lu Qingshan comforted his mother, then turned to Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, his eyes brimming ith joy as he said, “Father, Aunt, how come you’re at the Golden Sun Sect?”

He was no longer a child.

He knew the journey from Jiang Kingdom to the Golden Sun Sect was very long.

Even with the token his master had given them to board a spirit ship, it was still very troublesome and dangerous.

“Hehe, with you and Xiaoqin at the Golden Sun Sect, of course we were worried. Since we had time, we came to visit you.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son’s vibrant appearance and smiled, saying, “Where’s Qingzhu?”

“Little Sister is still in the sect.”

Lu Qingshan grinned happily and said, “I just got the news that you had arrived and could hardly believe it. So I rushed over by myself and haven’t told Little Sister yet.”

“Father, Mother, Aunt, let’s go inside and talk.”

“Little Sister will be overjoyed when she learns you’re here.”

Lu Qingshan’s earlier composure had completely vanished, and he spoke with a face full of happiness and joy.

Then he called out to the white crane in the sky, “Crane Immortal!”

But as he called out, he secretly transmitted to the crane, “Crane Immortal, these are my parents. Give me some face and give them a ride.”

“Hmm?”

Only then did Lu Changsheng realize that the white crane his son had been riding was actually a Second-Tier spirit crane.

This made him think to himself that his son, as expected of someone who had a Golden Core cultivator as a master, could ride a Second-Tier spirit beast even at the Qi Refining stage.

However, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator with Divine Sense comparable to late Foundation Establishment, he vaguely caught his son transmitting something to the crane.

He realized that this white crane wasn’t his son’s mount, but probably the pet or mount of that Immortal Tian Yuan.

“You don’t need to shout so loudly.”

The crane responded grudgingly, but descended from the sky, giving Lu Qingshan face.

“Father, Mother, Aunt, please get on.”

Lu Qingshan said with a grinning face, making a welcoming gesture.

Lu Changsheng and the others didn’t refuse their son’s goodwill.

This white crane was several zhang in size, bigger than an ox, easily accommodating four people.

And so, the four of them rode the crane into the Golden Sun Sect.

Inside, mountain peaks towered, surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, creating a beautiful scene.

Among the misty peaks, one could vaguely see palaces and pavilions.

In the center of these peaks was a golden mountain, completely golden and barren, shimmering with spots of light, like a giant golden bell.

“Father, Mother, Aunt, that’s Tianyuan Peak where I stay.”

Lu Qingshan pointed to a lush, flower-filled, verdant peak with waterfalls cascading down its sides.

“Looks like you’re living in quite a nice environment.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“Hehe, it’s not bad. Master is often away, so the entire peak has just me and Little Sister.”

Lu Qingshan said with a grin.

“Oh? Just you and Qingzhu on the whole peak?”

Lu Changsheng was surprised to hear this.

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

Although they had never been to the Golden Sun Sect, they knew about some immortal sect situations from the Azure Cloud Sect.

They knew that if one managed a peak, there would at least be some disciples, managers, or stewards.

“That’s right. Master is often away and doesn’t like to manage things, so Tianyuan Peak has just me and Little Sister.”

“But it’s quite nice this way, free and easy…”

Lu Qingshan said.

As he spoke, the crane arrived at the front of the peak.

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

The formation here only had the effect of blocking external probing.

Most immortal sects, except for their internal restricted areas, didn’t set up and operate too many protective formations, as the outer formations were sufficient.

Unlike the palaces and pavilions with their carved beams and painted pillars on other peaks, this peak was indeed quite simple.

There was only one palace at the top of the mountain, and a few thatched cottages and Spirit Fields and herb gardens elsewhere.

“Little Sister! Little Sister!”

Before the crane had even landed, Lu Qingshan leaped off its back and ran towards the palace, shouting loudly.

“Still so rash and impetuous.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and smiled, seeing his son’s behavior.

Then, holding his wives’ hands, he levitated off the crane’s back and walked to the front of the palace.

Soon after, Lu Qingzhu hurriedly ran out of the palace with Lu Qingshan.

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

She wore a Golden Sun Sect disciple’s robe, her appearance seven parts similar to her mother Lu Miaoge..

But compared to Lu Miaoge, she had less of annethereal elegance and more of a gentle vivacity.

“Xiaoqin.”

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge called out to theirrdaughter.

“Father! Mother! Aunt!”

Seeing the three at the door, Lu Qingzhu’s eyes immediately reddened, her body trembling slightly as she called out with a face full of surprise and joy.

Then, with a happy face and tears of joy, she rushed forward and threw herself into her father Lu Changsheng’s arms.

“Xiaoqin.”

Lu Changsheng held his daughter, gently stroking her hair and back.

For his son Lu Qingshan’s independent nature, he was happy to see him, of course, but not overly emotional.

But seeing his daughter so emotionally moved, his own emotions surged, and he felt a wave of guilt.

After all, Lu Qingzhu, unlike Lu Qingshan, had a more delicate nature. Being separated for so long, she must have often been alone, missing and worrying about them.
