Chapter 351: Abundant Rewards, Danlei Pearl!

The three entered the Sumeru Cave Heaven.

“This…”

“Father, where is this…”

Lu Quanzhen and Lu Ping’an looked around at the world before them, their eyes filled with shock.

They never imagined their family would have such a secret realm!

“This place is called Sumeru Cave Heaven, it’s the True Core of our family.”

Lu Changsheng spoke up.

As he spoke, his gaze fell on a herb garden not far away.

Inside, various spiritual flowers, grasses, and trees were growing.

“Changsheng, you’re back.”

At that moment, Lu Miaoge sensed Lu Changshenn’s presence and walked out of Hall of Everlasting Life.

She wore a simple white dress, her face was elegantly gentle, her aura like water.

Seeing Lu Ping’an and Lu Quanzhen by the side, she was slightly surprised and said with a smile, “Hmm, Ping’an and Quanzhen are here too.”

“Aunt.”

“Greetings, Aunt!”

Lu Ping’an and Lu Quanzhen immediately cupped their hands in salute.

“Hmm, Ping’an and Quanzhen are about to reach Foundation Establishment, so I brought them here to take a look. When the time comes, they’ll break through to Foundation Establishment in the Cave Heaven.”

Lu Changsheng was still wearing the black Void Robes, but his face had shed its disguise, revealing a handsome and elegant appearance.

“Ping’an and Quanzhen are about to reach Foundation Establishment?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge’s delicate face frooe in surprise.

Although she knew Lu Quanzhen had already reached the Ninth Level of Qi Refining back at White Tiger Mountain.

She never expected he would be breaking through to Foundation Establishment so soon.

Moreover, Lu Ping’an was also about to reach Foundation Establishment?

She remembered that sixteen years ago, Lu Ping’an had just discovered his Spirit Root and started his cultivation journey.

For a moment, Lu Miaoge felt as if a lifetiie had passed, recalling the early days on Qingzhu Mountain when the whole family struggled to nurture a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But now, without realizing it, the second generation of their family was already beginning Foundation Establishment.

“That’s right, Ping’an and Quanzhen had some fortuitous encounters, so they’re progressing quickly.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and said, “Sister Miaoge, has Qingshan already returned?”

He had just noticed that the flowers and plants in the garden ahead were the spiritual herbs that Lu Qingshan had brought back from the Purple Secrets Realm.

“Qingshan returned the spiritual herbs from the secret realm, then left with Qingzhu and Jade Sword Zhenren for the Golden Sun Sect.”

Lu Miaoge said softly..

Although her son and daughter had returned for several months, she still felt reluctant to part with them when they left again.

“So they left.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng paused for a moment, then sighed.

When his children were taken as disciples by Immortal Tian Yuan, he was on his way home and couldn’t say goodbye.

Now, they were leaving again, and he wasn’t home this time either.

But this was expected. Immortal Tian Yuan brought them back mainly to visit the Purple Secrets Realm and their home.

After staying home for a few months and with the secret realm over, they couldn’t stay any longer to wait for him to return and say goodbye.

Besides, his son Lu Qingshan still had things to do in the sect.

“By the way, Changsheng, these are the spiritual herbs Qingshan brought back.”

“He said that because Jade Sword Zhenren of the Heavenly Sword Sect saw his exceptional talent in Sword Dao, he was exempted from turning in the spiritual herbs.”

Lu Miaoge noticed her husbandds mood and immediately changed the subject, pointing to the herb garden ahead, she said softly.

“Jade Sword Zhenren saw his exceptional talent in Sword Dao and exempted him from turning in the spiritual herbs?”

Lu Changsheng was taken aback by this.

Outside the Purple Secrets Realm, he had seen his son Lu Qingshan talking with the Immortal from the Heavenly Sword Sect. After that, he left with Immortal Tian Yuan without turning in the spiritual herbs.

At the time, he thought the Immortal from the Heavenly Sword Sect was doing him a favor because of Immortal Tian Yuan.

He never expected it was because of his son’s talent in Sword Dao?

“Yes, Qingshan said that Jade Sword Zhenren only required him to visit the Heavenly Sword Sect to challenge their disciples in Sword Dao after he breaks through to Foundation Establishment, and he wouldn’t need to turn in the spiritual herbs.”

Lu Miaoge’s beautiful eyes spprkled with a smile as she spoke softly.

Although Lu Qingshan was her sister Lu Miaohuan’s son, she had always treated him as her own.

She even doted on this son more than her own daughter, Lu Qingzhu.

Now that Lu Qingshan was valued by a Golden Core Immortal of the Heavenly Sword Sect and invited to visit the sect for a Sword Dao challenge, she felt very happy and proud.

After all, this was the Heavenly Sword Sect!

The overlord of the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world!

The holy land for sword cultivators!

For an ordinary cultivator to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect was already like a carp leaping over the dragon gate!

And yet, her own child was personally invited by a Golden Core Immortal of the Heavenly Sword Sect to challenge their Sword Dao. What an honor!

“To be valued by an Immortal of the Heavenly Sword Sect and invited to challenge their Sword Dao, and exempted from turning in the spiritual herbs!?”

Lu Ping’an and Lu Quanzhen, who were standing nearby, exchanged glances, thinking it was quite a fortunate event.

They knew that the spiritual herbs they and Lu Qingshan had obtained in the Purple Secrets Realm were not a small amount!

“If I had known, I would’ve given all the herbs to Qingshan.”

Lu Ping’an immediately said with regret.

They were worried that giving all the herbs to Lu Qingshan might affect him, so they only gave him half.

“Ping’an, Quanzhen, you worked hard in the secret realm.”

At this moment, Lu Miaoge spoke softly to Lu ing’an and Lu Quanzhen.

She knew that half of the spiritual herbs Lu Qingshan brought back were their gains.

So, she separated their gains from Lu Qingshan’s.

After all, in a family, there is always a reward system based on contributions.

Even if they were all her own children, rewards would still be given based on their contributions.

However, the family reward system at Bihu Mountain was not yet perfect.

There were still no clear rewards for gains from secret realms.

“Aunt, we still have some spiritual herbs.”

Lu Quanzhen had noticed the Celestial Spirit Fruit in the herb garden ahead.

He immediately understood why his father had them uproot the herbs in the Purple Secrets Realm.

Because this Sumeru Cave Heaven at home, like the Purple Secrets Realm, could sustain the growth of rare spiritual herbs.

This realization shocked him immensely, making him feel that his father was becoming more and more mysterious!

“Alright.”

Lu Miaoge took the Spirit Plaat Bag and then sent a voice transmission to Lu Changsheng: “Changsheng, Ping’an and Quanzhen have gained so many spiritual herbs on this trip, have you thought about how to reward them?”

Although they were all her own children,

she felt that rewards should be given no matter what.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

Lu Changsheng replied via voice transmission.

He planned to reward his son Lu Ping’an with a Magical Treasure for refining the Spirit Tool and practicing the Hundred Refined Body Technique.

As for Lu Quanzhen, who lacked nothing at the moment, he intended to give him the entire bottle of Purple Mansion Pills.

After breaking through to Foundation Establishment, this son would go on a journey.

The ten Purple Mansion Pills would be enough to raise his Divine Sense from the early to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, which would greatly help him on his journey!

“Hmm~”

Lu Miaoge nodded gently..

She was only reminding her husband,

because Lu Changsheng was somewhat casual in this regard. He might not take it to heart or might forget about it after some time.

“Sumeru.”

Lu Changsheng opened the Spirit Plant Bag, instructing that all the viable spirit plants be planted.

“Master.”

Sumeru responded, indicating that it could sustain the growth of these spirit plants.

However, it could only barely maintain their growth and could not make the plants mature quickly.

But that was enough for Lu Changsheng.

As long as he could keep them alive, he could use the Wanling Bottle to accelerate their growth when needed!

After Sumeru planted the rare spiritual herbs, such as the Golden Bodhi Date Tree, White Jade Ganoderma, Celestial Spirit Flower, and Golden Blood Ginseng, in the herb garden within the Cave Heaven, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge began to tally up tte remaining gains.

Including the spiritual herbs that Lu Qingshan brought back earlier, the three brothers had gained quite a lot on this trip.

Among them were four Celestial Spirit Fruits.

If Lu Ping’an and Lu Quanzhen hadn’t turned in two of them, they would have had six Celestial Spirit Fruits!

However, with the Celestial Spirit Flower, Lu Changsheng didn’t mind the two Celestial Spirit Fruits that were turned in.

After all, who could have known that Lu Qingshan would be valued by an Immortal of the Heavenly Sword Sect and be exempted from turning in the spiritual herbs?

Seeing the gains of her three sons, Lu Miaoge was also filled witt emotion.

It was known that in the Purple Secrets Realm, rare spirit fruits like the Celestial Spirit Fruit were so rare that even a common clan cultivator would need both luck and effort to obtain one or two.

Yet, her three children had brought back four!

This made her realize that Lu Ping’an and Lu Quanzhen were not simple either.

“Seeds of a Second-Tier Tree Demon?”

At that moment, Lu Changsheng examined the four thumb-sized, purple and shiny seeds in his hand.

“Hmm, but we’re not sure if these are the Tree Demon’s seeds because they were parasitic within the body of a demon beast.”

Lu Quanzhen spoke up, explaining.

“Good, Quanzhen, Ping’an, you’ve done well.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

If these four seeds were indeed the seeds of a Tree Demon, the seeds of a heavenly spiritual plant, then they would be more precious to him than any spiritual herb!

He planned to try cultivating these seeds when there was some Wanling Heaven-Piercing Dew left over.

After that, Lu Changsheng instructed Sumeru to build a simple wooden house nearby for Lu Ping’an and Lu Quanzhen to use for their daily cultivation.

He told them that if they needed to enter or leave the Cave Heaven, they could call on Senior Sumeru.

“Alright, you’ve been through a lot on this trip, go back and rest early.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said to his two sons.

“Yes, father.”

The two cupped their hands in response, called on Senior Sumeru, and then left the Cave Heaven.

“Sister Miaoge, when you have time, go to Qingzhu Mountain and ask my father-in-law to purchase the other materials needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill.”

Lu Changsheng said to Lu Miaoge..

With the four Celestial Spirit Fruits, he could refine four furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills.

Each furnace would yield three pills, for a total of twelve Foundation Establishment Pills!

These Foundation Establishment Pills would be more than enough for their family at the moment!

And with the Wanling Bottle, they could have as many Foundation Establishment Pills as they needed in the future!

So, in this situation, he naturally wouldn’t forget to help Qingzhu Mountain.

“Alright~”

Lu Miaoge’s beautiful eyes spprkled as she looked at her husband, clearly understanding his intentions.

Although their son Lu Qingshan had mentioned that if they had extra Foundation Establishment Pills, they could share one with Qingzhu Mountain.

She hadn’t brought it up yet, but Lu Changsheng had already thought of it, which made her feel very touched.

“Sister Miaoge, I’ve missed you.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled and embraced his wife’s soft body, inhaling the fragrance of her hair as he spoke warmly.

This trip to the Purple Secrets Realm took more than three months, and it was incredibly dull for him. He constantly missed his wife back home.

“Hmm~”

Lu Miaoge, inhaling her husbaad’s scent, nestled in his arms.

“Sister Miaoge, let me see how your Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra is progressing.”

Lu Changsheng slipped one arm under his wife’s knees and, in a princess carry, strode directly into Hall of Everlasting Life with her.

“Changsheng.”

Lu Miaoge couldn’t help but ccll out softly, quickly wrapping her arms around Lu Changsheng’s neck, her jade-like face blushing.

She was already a grown woman, yet her husband carried her like this. If Sister Ling or Little Ling’er saw this, how embarrassing would it be?

But then she remembered that Ling Zixiao had been in seclusion for days, and Bai Ling was at the Lu Family Mansion with the two little ones, so she relaxed and rested her cheek on Lu Changsheng’s chest.

After entering the Cave Dwelling, Lu Changsheng placed his wife on the white jade bed and began to kiss her passionately, expressing his longing.

The sound of their lips and teeth mingled with soft and heavy breaths, accompanied by the rustling of clothes.

The white dress, snow lotus bra, embroidered shoes, silk stockings, and black robe gradually scattered on the ground.

Their bodies tensed, stretched, twisted, and collided with soft gasps.

“Changsheng, don’t stay up too late since you just got back.”

Lu Miaoge moaned softly, her elicate brows furrowed, her beautiful eyes wavering, wavering with a bright and moving light, she said tremblingly.

She felt that after being away for so long, Lu Changsheng should have gone home to the Lu Family Mansion first and saved this cultivation for later.

“Hmm, I know.”

Lu Changsheng replied, his voice somewhat muffled.

After a period of cultivation, with Yin and Yang harmonized, Lu Changsheng felt completely refreshed.

Then, he and Lu Miaoge tidied up their cloohes and left the Sumeru Cave Heaven to arrive at the Lu Family Mansion.

During this trip, apart from Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaoge, and Lin Zixiao, no one else knew he had been away.

Everyone thought he was in seclusion at home.

This was exactly what Lu Changsheng wanted.

He didn’t want anyone to know that he had been away for this time.

Otherwise, if someone were to guess, they might suspect he had gone to the Purple Secrets Realm.

Arriving at the mansion, Lu Changsheng routinely inquired about the well-being of his wives, children, and concubines, then hosted a family banquet to liven things up a bit.

Qu Zhenzhen, seeing her son Lu Quanzhen had returned, asked him what he had been doing recently.

Lu Quanzhen had already thought of an excuse for this question, explaining that he had been busy at White Tiger Mountain.

Although the affairs of White Tiger Mountain had been handed over to Lu Qingsong,

Qu Zhenzhen never cared much about family matters, so she didn’t ask further about this reason.

She only told him to take care of himself and to be careful when going out.

After the family had a lively time, Lu Changsheng took the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman from Lu Miaoyun.

Then, he took out the False Core of the Xu Family’s old ancestor and asked, “Hong Lian, can this fake core still be used?”

Because he needed Hong Lian to guide his children’s cultivation.

Lu Changsheng often entrusted the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman to Lu Miaoyun.

Lu Miaoyun only knew that the alisman contained a senior expert, but nothing more.

“Master, this demon core has already been refined into a False Core, making the demon power and Qi mixed. It can no longer be used for Golden Core Formation.”

“Unless someone cultivates the same technique, there’s only a twenty to thirty percent chance of forming a False Core.”

Hong Lian spoke up, explaining.

“As expected.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He could tell that the aura of this core was very mixed and chaotic.

Let alone forming a Golden Core, even using it for pill refining would likely cause problems.

“In that case, what other uses does this core have?”

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

“This type of core can be used to refine Danlei Pearls, which are incredibly powerful.”

“Other than that, it can be used to feed demon beasts.”

Hong Lian explained the uses of this core.

“Danlei Pearls?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, immediately thinking of Tianlei Seeds.

“That’s right.”

Hong Lian explained that the principle behind Danlei Pearls was similar to that of Tianlei Seeds.

By adding some materials and using special methods, the core could be brought to the brink of explosion.

When used against an enemy, it could release the energy within the core, causing an explosion to injure them.

“This core should be of the lightning attribute, right? Can the Nine Abyss Mastiff and the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm consume and refine it?”

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

If it could be used to feed demon beasts, he would certainly choose that over refining Danlei Pearls.

“Master, have you forgotten? The talisman can absorb the energy from demon cores and convert it into Spirit Liquid.”

Hong Lian’s voice was gentle and elegant, very enchanting.

“Haha, I almost forgot about that for a moment. In that case, you can take this core.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled.

His pets and the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon were usually left to their own devices.

As a result, he had momentarily forgotten about the effects of the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman.

“Hmm.”

Hong Lian responded, causing the talisman to glow and swallow the core.

“By the way, Hong Lian, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm has too low intelligence. Do you have any way to make it recognize a master?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of his Six-Winged Golden Silkworm and paused, asking.

“Recognize a master?”

Hong Lian was a bit surprised.

She could tell that the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm had already recognized Lu Changsheng as its master, but no contract had been formed.

“That’s right. The Six-Winged Golden Silkworm is born with a vicious and violent nature, low intelligence, and is difficult to tame. Except for me, no one else can control it.”

“So, I want it to recognize someone else as its master. Do you have a way?”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

Although the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm was good, it was of limited use to him.

And now, it wasn’t even of much use.

It had been kept in the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman for years, and he had almost forgotten about it.

So, Lu Changsheng thought of gifting the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm to his son, Lu Quanzhen.

After all, this son was so promising, and he had even given his father a Five Elements Fruit before.

Yet, as a father, he hadn’t given him any rare and precious gifts.

So, he decided to give him this Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.

That way, his son would have an extra trump card when he went on his journey.

However, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm was different from the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

Even if Lu Changsheng could make it obey, it could still go out of control in Lu Quanzhen’s hands.

“This golden silkworm, although violent and of low intelligence, is still under your control. If you use the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman, you can try to make it recognize a master.”

Hong Lian spoke up.

The Ancient Beast Taming Talisman not only had the ability to nurture demon beasts but also to tame them.

Moreover, she knew many methods for taming demon beasts.

“Alright!”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He planned to have Lu Quanzhen try to form a contract with the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm after he broke through to Foundation Establishment.

Biyun Peak.

In a small courtyard.

“Quanzhen, just focus on your cultivation at home for the time being.”

“When you’re about to break through to Foundation Establishment or have any issues, just let me know.”

Lu Changsheng said to his son, Lu Quanzhen.

“Yes, father.”

Lu Quanzhen nodded in response.

“Hmm.”

After giving his instructions, Lu Changsheng went to the puppet workshop and found his son Lu Ping’an, who was watching the crafting of puppets. He said, “Ping’an, come with me.”

“Father.”

Lu Ping’an immediately nodded and followed Lu Changsheng to a small courtyard.

“Once you’ve broken through to the fifth layer of the Hundred Refined Body Technique, you can further refine your skull, chest bones, spine, and limbs, gaining certain abilities. Just like your current ‘Mountain Splitting’.”

“So, if you’re comfortable with the effect of this Magical Treasure, you can choose to refine it into your body based on its effect.”

Lu Changsheng began to teach his son the follow-up techniques and Divine Abilities of the Hundred Refined Body Technique.

After teaching the technique, he gave Lu Ping’an the ‘Wind Thunder Ring’ from the Xu Family’s old ancestor and the broken Long Halberd he obtained from the tungsten mine with Li Feiyu, for him to refine into his body.

“Two Magical Treasures?”

Lu Ping’an was stunned when his father suddenly handed him two Magical Treasures to refine into his body for cultivation.

After all, these were Magical Treasures!

“Just use them. After refining these two Magical Treasures into your body, you can see their effects.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Then, he handed a Jade Slip to Lu Ping’an and said, “By the way, as for techniques, take a look at this ‘Black Dragon Scripture’?”

Previously, Lu Ping’an had mentioned the ‘Purple Yang True Scripture’ he was cultivating.

He had asked if he should switch to cultivating a more powerful technique.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng naturally thought it was necessary.

But among the many techniques in the family, there weren’t many suitable for Lu Ping’an.

Because aside from martial arts and body tempering, Lu Ping’an had little talent in other areas.

So, after much thought, Lu Changsheng decided on the Black Dragon Scripture.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng had always hoped that one of his children would successfully cultivate the Black Dragon Scripture.

If Lu Ping’an could master this technique, he could one day command the family’s Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon.

After all, with Bai Ling’s personality, it would be somewhat reckless to let her command the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon.

“Black Dragon Scripture?”

Lu Ping’an asked, taking the Jade Slip and examining it.

“That’s right. This technique is a dual cultivation of both the body and the law. Once fully mastered, you can transform into a black dragon.”

“The only drawback is that as you break through each realm, it will affect your ability to have children. Although it won’t make you sterile, it will be several times harder to have offspring after cultivating this technique.”

Lu Changsheng explained.
