Chapter 324: The Ancestor Is Taking Another Concubine Again!

A month later.

Lu Changsheng’s concubine ceremony began.

The event was very lively.

Guests arrived one after another from distant places to congratulate him.

“Sigh, seeing Ancestor Lu makes me understand the motivation for cultivation!”

“I heard Ancestor Lu already has over forty concubines, and now he’s taking fifteen more!”

“Wow, fifteen concubines at once? Ancestor Lu sure is lucky with women.”

“He lives so decadently, yet his cultivation progresses quickly. I can’t accept this! Lu Changsheng must be practicing Essence Absorption. I’m going to report him to the Azure Cloud Sect!”

“If Ancestor Lu were practicing Essence Absorption, how could he have so many children and spend so many resources raising them?”

“Exactly. This Lu Changsheng is probably just a man who loves women and wants to build a family by himself, as the rumors say.”

“I heard that one of the fifteen concubines this time is Miss Lin Qingyu from the Lin family. Not only is she exceptionally talented, but she’s also stunningly beautiful.”

“Waaah, Yan’er, Yan’er, how will I live without you!”

Many of the guests expressed their emotions, filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Lu Changsheng’s life.

Among the fifteen concubines, the Ning family from Xishui provided a pair of twins.

The others came from different families and factions, all of them the precious daughters of their households.

Now, they all married Lu Changsheng as concubines, naturally making countless people envious, jealous, and resentful.

Especially those family daughters who married Lu Changsheng, who had Top-Tier beauty and talent, and were pursued by many admirers.

Upon learning that their beloved goddess married Lu Changsheng as a concubine, they felt deep sadness and pain.

Bihu Mountain Manor.

This manor, used for hosting guests, was refurbished and expanded ahead of time.

The carved beams and painted rafters were magnificent, spacious, and grand, enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people.

Receptionists, guests, and maids constantly came and went, moving in and out.

After all, the wedding itself wasn’t the main event.

The main purpose was to meet with various families and discuss matters, showing Bihu Mountain’s stance.

“The Mo Family Ancestor from Tiemulin has arrived!”

“The Lin Family Ancestor from Lvyuan Manor has arrived!”

“The Head Steward of Treasure Pill Pavilion has arrived!”

…

Outside the manor, voices announcing arrivals rang out, as more and more people came to offer their congratulations.

Many Natural Treasures that would make Qi Refining cultivators envious were presented as gifts.

“Father, Lvyuan Mountain has two Foundation Establishment masters. Is it really necessary to marry Miaoyu to this Ancestor Lu as a concubine?”

In a corner of the manor, a young man in silk robes asked his father in a low voice, his face full of unwillingness.

“Shut up! Stop thinking about such things, or I’ll break your legs!”

The middle-aged man immediately scolded his son upon hearing his words.

He knew that his son secretly liked one of the concubines about to marry Lu Changsheng.

Then he looked at the beautiful woman beside him, speaking kindly: “Yuer, when Ancestor Lu appears later, I’ll take you over to toast him. Make sure to seize the opportunity.”

“If Ancestor Lu takes a liking to you, it will benefit both you and our Lü family.”

“After all, Ancestor Lu is not only handsome but also very affectionate. Even as a servant, if you bear a qilin son for him, you could become a concubine later.”

The middle-aged man gave his niece many instructions.

Although Ancestor Lu was taking fifteen concubines this time,

For the many families attending the wedding, it was nothing significant.

So, many smaller families also wanted to send their daughters and younger generations to become concubines or servants for Ancestor Lu.

Conversations like this were happening all over Bihu Mountain Manor at this moment.

After all, since the incidents at Bihu Mountain and White Tiger Mountain involving Jin Zan, Bihu Mountain’s reputation has skyrocketed, spreading throughout the Qingyun Region!

Most families and cultivators in the Qingyun Region had heard of the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain and knew the names of Ancestor Lu Changsheng and Lady Lu Miaoge..

Before this, although the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain was somewhat well-known, most people had only heard of them without much understanding.

In fact, many people knew of the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain because of the stories about Lu Changsheng’s love for taking wives and concubines and his many descendants.

But as the events at Bihu Mountain, White Tiger Mountain, and Jinlong Ridge spread and fermented, all the families and factions gained a clear understanding of Lu Changsheng.

His talent might be poor, but his comprehension was incredible!

He had great fortune and opportunities, considered a person of great destiny!

A future hegemon of the Qingyun Region!

He was also known for his love of women and taking concubines.

Due to his humble origins as a common farmer, he held strong beliefs in having many children and grandchildren.

Such a person had both very obvious strengths and weaknesses.

So, everyone was eager to establish good relations with Bihu Mountain, hoping to form marital ties!

However, many were shocked when they learned about Lu Changsheng’s experiences and how he had achieved in a few decades what took other families centuries, single-handedly creating a cultivation family.

They marveled at how this Ancestor Lu was both crazy and unconventional.

But in these situations, many cultivation families could understand.

Because through the rumors, they knew that although Ancestor Lu had opportunities, his Spirit Root talent was too poor, only low-Tier.

It was almost impossible for him to break through to the Golden Core Formation.

At most, he could rely on external pills to form a False Core.

So, he decided to ensure the continuation of his life, bloodline, and spirit as soon as possible.

Life and reproduction, passing the torch, endless continuity!

Unable to achieve immortality or pursue the Dao, he sought to extend his legacy through his bloodline, descendants, and family, leaving his name in history as a form of spiritual continuation!

This was a traditional concept in the cultivation world.

Many cultivation families held this belief.

Even within sects, the master-disciple relationship often carried this idea.

Beyond inheritance, some even harbored the hope.

That if a remarkable descendant emerged, a great figure, they might revive their long-dead ancestor or prepare for their own reincarnation.

Inside the Great Hall.

Lu Changsheng, dressed in a green spirit robe, sat at the head seat.

On either side of him were the two main wives, Lu Miaoge and Ling Zixiao..

They were drinking and chatting with various cultivators in the hall.

Only those with special status or Foundation Establishment ancestors could sit in this hall.

Everyone who came wanted to see Lu Changsheng’s attitude.

“The Beast Taming Xu Family’s Xu Ruoyin has arrived!”

At this moment, a voice announced outside.

“The Beast Taming Xu Family!?”

“Hiss, even the Beast Taming Xu Family sent someone?”

“Xu Ruoyin, I heard she’s a disciple of the Yushui branch of the Beast Taming Xu Family. She broke through to Foundation Establishment last year, and since returning to the main branch, has risen like a comet!”

“I didn’t expect her to come to Bihu Mountain to offer congratulations.”

“It’s probably because of the Yushui Xu Family. This Xu Family genius had ties with Bihu Mountain early on.”

Immediately, many people in the Great Hall and the manor started discussing.

“The Beast Taming Xu Family…”

Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao also paused upon hearing this.

Although the Yushui Xu Family was a branch of the Beast Taming Xu Family,

They usually presented themselves as Yushui Xu Family rather than the Beast Taming Xu Family.

Now that Xu Ruoyin was introduced with the Beast Taming Xu Family prefix, it indicated she wasn’t here representing the Yushui Xu Family, but the Beast Taming Xu Family.

This carried a much different significance.

Immediately, a woman in a magnificent red palace dress entered the hall.

She was stunningly beautiful, with long hair matching the color of her dress, making her stand out.

But the most eye-catching feature was her eyes, like red moons, blazing like fire.

These eyes made her already delicate face even more radiant, complementing her jade-like skin perfectly.

She looked like a noble and aloof phoenix, both holy and proud.

“Xu Ruoyin of the Beast Taming Xu Family congratulates Master Lu on his joyous occasion.”

Xu Ruoyin bowed to Lu Changsheng.

But as she lowered her head, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and an indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.

“Please, Xu Daoist, have a seat,” Lu Changsheng said warmly as he looked at Xu Ruoyin.

He thought to himself that she had improved greatly in appearance and demeanor during her time away.

The contrast between her current confident appearance and her former obedient behavior was striking.

Lu Miaoge and Ling Zixiao bott had different reactions upon seeing Xu Ruoyin; one had a slightly strange expression, while the other showed a playful glint in her eyes.

After all, they both knew that this Xu Family genius had been a servant in the Sumeru Cave Heaven for eight years.

“Greetings, Xu Daoist.”

“Xu Daoist, I…”

Many family members in the hall immediately greeted Xu Ruoyin politely.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators like Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang had met Xu Ruoyin in her earlier years.

Seeing the former Qi Refining cultivator now break through to Foundation Establishment with such poise, they were full of emotion.

They knew that geniuses like Xu Ruoyin, once they broke through to Foundation Establishment and returned to the main branch, would soar to great heights beyond their reach.

As they were catching up and chatting, suddenly, everyone in the hall felt a terrifying aura and looked towards the outside of Bihu Mountain.

“The Jin Family Ancestor from Jinlong Ridge has arrived!”

At the same time, a loud voice announced.

“The Jin Family Ancestor from Jinlong Ridge? Could it be the False Core ancestor from Jinlong Ridge!?”

“This aura can’t be mistaken, it must be the False Core ancestor.”

“Hiss, I didn’t expect the Jin Family Ancestor to come personally!”

“Wasn’t there a conflict between Bihu Mountain and Jinlong Ridge? Why is the Jin Family Ancestor here now?”

“Could it be he’s here to cause trouble?”

The Foundation Establishment cultivators in the hall all stood up, shocked, and looked outside.

After all, who here didn’t know about the issues between Bihu Mountain and Jinlong Ridge?

Although the two hadn’t had a direct confrontation,

It was still significant that the Jin Family’s False Core ancestor was attending Lu Changsheng’s concubine ceremony.

“The Jin Family Ancestor!?”

Lu Changsheng squinted slightly, unsure why this Jin Family Ancestor had come.

He chuckled, cupped his hands to everyone in the hall, and said, “Excuse me, everyone.”

Then he turned into a streak of light and headed outside Bihu Mountain.

When he arrived at the mountain gate, Lu Changsheng immediately saw a tall, ordinary-looking old man in a golden robe standing outside.

Just from the invisible pressure of his aura, Lu Changsheng knew this was the False Core ancestor of Jinlong Ridge!

Beside him was a middle-aged man in his forties with a stern face, dark hair, and a golden dragon-patterned robe.

It was the Jin Family’s First Elder, Jin Zan, who had fought him at White Tiger Mountain!

When Jin Zan saw Lu Changsheng, anger flashed in his eyes, and his fists clenched inside his sleeves.

But he didn’t speak, only standing quietly beside his ancestor.

“Jincheng Jun from Jinlong Ridge congratulates Master Lu on his joyous occasion and has come to share a cup of celebratory wine.”

The Jin Family Ancestor smiled broadly, cupped his hands, and spoke loudly.

“Greetings, Ancestor Jin. Your presence truly graces my wedding. Please, come in.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression didn’t change as he cupped his hands and smiled.

Although he didn’t know why the Jin Family Ancestor had come,

With the Sumeru Cave Heaven protecting him, he wasn’t afraid of any tricks.

After all, if he wanted to, the Sumeru Illusion Sky Formation could wipe out the dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators here, including the False Core ancestor.

“Tsk tsk tsk, these ancestors must be quite wealthy. If I could take them all down, I’d instantly become rich.”

Lu Changsheng thought with a laugh.

But it was just a thought.

Doing so would cause a massive upheaval in the Qingyun Region and even the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world.

The three of them turned into streaks of light and flew towards Bihu Mountain Manor.

The Lu Family disciples guarding the entrance immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Jin Family Ancestor hadn’t released any pressure on them,

Just standing in front of them felt like a mountain, giving them immense pressure.

Not only them, but the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators outside Bihu Mountain Manor also stood up and bowed respectfully to the Jin Family Ancestor.

After all, this was a False Core ancestor!

Not just in the Qingyun Region,

But even in the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world, a False Core cultivator was considered a significant figure!

At this moment, everyone was wondering why the Jin Family Ancestor had come to Bihu Mountain.

Especially those who knew Jin Zan and saw him, knowing the conflicts between him and Bihu Mountain, couldn’t help but wonder why he had come along.

“Ancestor Jin, Elder Jin, please sit. This carp soup is a specialty of Bihu Mountain. These carp are specially raised by our Lu Family, and they taste delicious.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, as if the previous conflict with Jin Zan never happened.

“I came in a hurry, so this gift…”

The Jin Family Ancestor fumbled with his hands inside his golden sleeves, frowning.

“Haha, Ancestor Jin, your presence at my wedding is already an honor…”

Lu Changsheng responded casually.

But before he could finish, the Jin Family Ancestor took out a delicate brocade box from his sleeve and laughed, “Haha, why not give this to Master Lu as a wedding gift.”

“Do you think you’re funny?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

No wonder the ancient texts referred to some Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators as old monsters.

The older they got, the more eccentric their personalities became.

His expression didn’t change as he accepted the brocade box, storing it in his Storage Ring, and said with a smile, “Thank you, Ancestor Jin. You’re too kind.”

“Master Lu, aren’t you going to open it and see what the gift is?”

The Jin Family Ancestor said as he sat down and began eating the fish.
