Chapter 364: Dragon Chant Awakens, Mastering Under Red Lotus!

Biyun Peak, Alchemy Hall.

Nine dragon heads breathed out roaring flames, supporting a large bronze cauldron.

Inside the cauldron, Spirit Liquid boiled as Lu Changsheng threw in one rare and valuable spiritual herb, spiritual fruit, demon core, and demon beast skeleton after another.

He was preparing a medicinal bath for his son, Lu Lingxiao, and daughter, Lu Linghe.

Since learning about this medicinal bath method from Hong Lian, he began giving his talented children at home a baptism with it.

However, except for Lu Wangshu and Lu Xingchen, the previous baths were just ordinary baptisms.

The spiritual herbs and Spirit Stones spent earlier were not even a fraction of what he was using now.

On one hand, it was because these two children were exceptionally talented and needed to start strong.

On the other hand, it was also because of Ling Zixiao’s influence.

After all, for talented children, and those born to his wife, he would naturally spend more time with them and show some favoritism.

As time passed, the Spirit Liquid inside the cauldron turned thick and murky.

Then, Lu Changsheng opened several porcelain bottles and poured them one by one into the large cauldron.

“Buzz!”

At this moment, the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman radiated a brilliant light, and a beautiful, tall, sacredly noble, and peerlessly graceful figure appeared.

She cast a series of hand seals towards the large bronze cauldron.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”

The cauldron immediately hummed and shook, the liquid inside boiling and roaring, splashing up with a crystalline glow that revealed the faint shadows of the Nine Abyss Mastiff, Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Iron-Eating Beast, and Sumeru Tree King.

The previously thick, murky liquid gradually turned a light golden color, exuding a rich fragrance.

“Young master, the precious medicine is ready. You can enter the cauldron now.”

Hong Lian’s voice was soft and pleasant.

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, looking at his son beside him, who was pursing his lips and had bright eyes, and called out, “Xiao’er.”

“Father, I am ready!”

Lu Lingxiao nodded and replied.

He was nine years old this year, but he looked as tall as an ordinary child of ten or more.

Dressed in a blue robe, his youthful and handsome face carried a hint of heroic spirit.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, he immediately leaped into the boiling large bronze cauldron.

He knew that once he completed this medicinal bath, he could start cultivating immortality.

“Hiss!”

As Lu Lingxiao entered the cauldron, his entire body became scorching hot, his skin turning red, and he let out a muffled sound.

However, though the bath was hot, it wouldn’t burn him.

Instead, it transformed into a surging medicinal power that cleansed his flesh and bones, limbs, bones, and meridians.

“Father, will brother be cooked?”

Lu Linghe, dressed in a small lotus outfit with two buns tied on her head, looked at the boiling large bronze cauldron in front of her, bit her finger, and asked with some fear.

“Of course, he won’t be cooked. It’s just like taking a bath. After Xiaohe finishes, she’ll grow up quickly.”

“And the medicinal liquid inside is delicious.”

Lu Changsheng smiled as he heard his daughter’s words.

The siblings had grown up consuming various Natural Treasures, treating foundational Cultivation Foundation Pills like candy.

These pills and Natural Treasures might not be fully absorbed or consumed.

But this medicinal bath not only refines all the medicinal power within them but also enhances their talents.

Once the bath is over, the two of them can start cultivating immediately.

No need to wait until they are twelve years old when their meridians and dantian can withstand the world’s spiritual energy.

“Xiaohe, it’s alright.”

Ling Zixiao hugged her daughter’s shoulders and spoke softly.

She knew how much Lu Changsheng had spent on this medicinal bath.

Not only did it cost nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones’ worth of natural materials and treasures.

But also the essence blood of the Nine Abyss Mastiff, Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle, Iron-Eating Beast, Sumeru Tree King, Bizarre Prison Demon Flower, and so on.

“Brother, are you cooked yet?”

Lu Linghe, still doubtful, shouted loudly at her brother in the cauldron.

“No.”

Lu Lingxiao was silent for a moment before gritting his teeth and spitting out the word.

“Father, mother, brother seems to be getting cooked.”

Lu Linghe immediately looked up and said.

Ling Zixiao saw her daughter’s dilly-dallying and, seeing that Hong Lian was still waiting nearby, immediately gritted her teeth, picked her up, and threw her into the cauldron with a ‘plop.’

“Ah! Father, mother, it’s so hot! It’s so hot!”

Lu Linghe, unlike Lu Lingxiao, who endured the heat in silence, immediately cried out in discomfort.

“Be good, Xiaohe. After the bath, you’ll grow up quickly.”

Lu Changsheng immediately comforted her.

“Buzz!”

Hong Lian cast another series of hand seals into the large bronze cauldron, causing the medicinal liquid to boil continuously, with glowing light filling the air.

“Young master, it’s ready.”

After speaking, her figure returned to the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman.

Without Xu Ruoyin, she couldn’t stay away from the talisman for long, and casting such spells consumed a lot of her energy.

“Hong Lian, thank you for your hard work.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and spoke, holding the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman in his hand.

“Father lied! This medicinal liquid doesn’t taste good at all. It’s so bitter!”

After a while, Lu Linghe’s face turned bright red, as if she were drunk, and she complained to Lu Changsheng.

“.”

Lu Changsheng was silent for a moment, then produced a bottle of Cultivation Foundation Pills, poured out two, and called out to his daughter in the cauldron, “Xiaohe, open your mouth.”

“Biu!”

After eating the Cultivation Foundation Pills, Lu Linghe immediately shouted, “Father, I want more.”

Ling Zixiao saw her husband feeding their daughter treats and wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say, so she just sighed and rubbed her forehead.

Time passed bit by bit as the medicinal bath roared and boiled, with glowing lights swirling around, cleansing and transforming the siblings.

Lu Lingxiao gritted his teeth, enduring the medicinal baptism.

Earlier, Lu Wangshu had told him that she was so powerful because she had remained conscious throughout her entire baptism, completing her transformation while fully aware.

He was determined to surpass this sister and eventually suppress her, so naturally, he wouldn’t fall behind.

Lu Linghe, on the other hand, had fallen asleep at some point.

“Buzz—”

Two days later, a blazing and fierce aura suddenly emanated from Lu Lingxiao’s body.

“Is this the Dragon Chant Physique!?”

Ling Zixiao sensed this familiar aura and suddenly looked at her son, full of surprise and shock.

She hadn’t expected her son to possess the Dragon Chant Physique, just like herself!

This brought her immense joy and excitement!

Her son had a first-Tier Spirit Root, and with the full support of her and Lu Changsheng, it seemed he had a promising future in Golden Core Formation!

Now, seeing that her son had the Dragon Chant Physique, she felt that achieving Golden Core Formation wasn’t just a possibility.

It was certain that he would achieve Golden Core Formation and might even have a chance at becoming a Nascent Soul True Lord!

“Hmm? The Dragon Chant Physique has awakened?”

Lu Changsheng paused, also a bit surprised.

He hadn’t expected his son’s Dragon Chant Physique to awaken during the medicinal bath.

He knew that the Dragon Chant Physique was a recessive Spirit Body that would gradually awaken as one grew and cultivated.

But his son was only nine years old and hadn’t started cultivating yet, so how did the Dragon Chant Physique awaken?

However, the next moment, Lu Changsheng realized it was probably because his son’s Dragon Chant Physique was incomplete, a defective version, which made it behave differently from the norm.

“This is bad!”

Lu Changsheng immediately looked at his daughter, Lu Linghe, who was sleeping in the large bronze cauldron, and used his Qi to pull her out.

His son’s early awakening of the Dragon Chant Physique was naturally a good thing.

But if his daughter awakened the Dragon Chant Physique early, it would not be good.

The Dragon Chant Physique was only suitable for males!

If his daughter had the Dragon Chant Physique, it would be a disaster!

He hadn’t yet mastered the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra and couldn’t completely resolve the Dragon Chant Physique!

“Buzz!”

However, at this moment, Lu Linghe’s body already had a faint blazing aura emanating from it.

“How could this be!?”

Ling Zixiao, who had been puzzled by Lu Changsheng’s actions, was now shocked when she sensed the familiar aura in her daughter’s body.

She was naturally happy and excited about her son having the Dragon Chant Physique.

But she couldn’t be happy if her daughter had it.

She herself had the Dragon Chant Physique and knew how much trouble it had caused her.

When she was breaking through to Foundation Establishment, she almost died due to the eruption of the Dragon Chant Physique.

If she hadn’t met Lu Changsheng, she would have long since perished under the burning Yang energy of the Dragon Chant Physique, withered and dead.

Even now, she relied on Lu Changsheng to balance the Yang energy of the Dragon Chant Physique in her body, allowing her to cultivate slowly.

“Dragon Chant Physique…”

In the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman, Hong Lian was also surprised to see the situation of the siblings.

Although she had been in the talisman for a long time.

Over the years, teaching Lu Changsheng’s children, she had observed their situations.

She could clearly see that the talent of the Lu Family children was significantly improving!

In the early years, there was a Blood Talisman Spirit Body.

Then a Metal-attribute spiritual body returned.

Now, two Dragon Chant Physiques suddenly appeared.

Although these two Dragon Chant Physiques seemed problematic, they were still very impressive.

“Dragon Emperor Dao Body… Is this the legendary Dragon Emperor Dao Body? It’s simply terrifying…”

Hong Lian muttered to herself, shocked and amazed.

For a moment, she couldn’t help but look forward to seeing how talented the offspring Lu Changsheng would have after reaching Golden Core Formation, Nascent Soul, or Divine Transformation.

According to what she knew, the higher the cultivation of the Dragon Emperor Dao Body, the more talented the offspring.

“But the Dragon Emperor Dao Body should at least be at the Golden Core stage to increase the chances of offspring having a Spirit Body, right?”

“Young master is only at Foundation Establishment now. Even if he has the Dragon Emperor Dao Body, it should only make it easier for him to have offspring with Spirit Roots, not necessarily Spirit Bodies.”

Hong Lian was puzzled.

But thinking about how the mysteries surrounding Lu Changsheng had only increased instead of decreased over the years, she didn’t judge him by common sense.

After all, the Dragon Emperor Dao Body was just her speculation.

Lu Changsheng’s situation and physique might be similar to the Dragon Emperor Dao Body, but it could be even more extraordinary.

Moreover, even with the same physique, there could be differences, not necessarily the same.

Afterward, Hong Lian examined the situation of Lu Lingxiao and Lu Linghe with her divine soul and said, “Young master, Lingxiao and Linghe’s Dragon Chant Physiques seem to be incomplete, not full-fledged Dragon Chant Physiques, which is why their Spirit Bodies awakened during the medicinal bath.”

Since she had provided the method for this medicinal bath, she naturally had to explain the situation.

“Hmm, I know.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

He was naturally aware that his two children’s Dragon Chant Physiques were incomplete, both being defective Spirit Bodies.

“Husband.”

Ling Zixiao looked at Lu Changsheng, holding their daughter, biting her lip with a face full of heartache.

This daughter was not very bright to begin with, and now she also had the Dragon Chant Physique, making her mother’s heart ache even more.

“It’s alright. I already knew about Xiaohe’s Dragon Chant Physique. I just didn’t expect the medicinal bath to stimulate it and cause it to awaken early.”

“Zixiao, don’t worry. Once I complete the conversion of my cultivation method, I can resolve the Dragon Chant Physique for both you and Xiaohe.”

Lu Changsheng hugged his daughter and comforted his wife.

If this had happened before, he would have been worried.

But now, as long as he completed the conversion of the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra, he could try to resolve the Dragon Chant Physique!

Maybe he wouldn’t be able to completely solve it at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But as long as he broke through to Golden Core Formation, he was seventy to eighty percent confident!

“Husband, you can solve it?”

Ling Zixiao immediately remembered that Lu Changsheng had mentioned before that once he completed the conversion of his cultivation method, he would have a way to resolve the Dragon Chant Physique.

In her moment of panic, she had forgotten about it.

Of course, she had subconsciously thought that her husband’s method of solving the Dragon Chant Physique was through something like the Dragon Guide Technique, a Dual Cultivation technique.

“Hmm, once my cultivation method is complete, I can balance Yin and Yang and solve the problem of the Dragon Chant Physique.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and infused Yin-Yang Qi into his daughter’s body to balance her Dragon Chant Physique.

“Father, mother, what’s wrong with Xiaohe?”

At this time, Lu Lingxiao opened his eyes in the medicinal bath, asking with some pain.

Although this medicinal bath wouldn’t cause his body to explode, the cleansing process was still very painful, making it easy to pass out.

“Xiaohe’s body isn’t suitable for the medicinal bath. Xiao’er, just focus on your own cleansing.”

Ling Zixiao replied, telling her son not to worry.

“Hmm~”

Lu Linghe, in Lu Changsheng’s arms, groggily opened her sleepy eyes.

But when she saw herself lying in her father’s arms, she smacked her lips a few times, rubbed her little head against Lu Changsheng’s chest, and fell asleep again.

“It’s alright. At most, she’ll start cultivating a few years later. It won’t have much of an impact.”

Lu Changsheng continued to comfort Ling Zixiao.

“Hmm.”

Ling Zixiao nodded.

Although Lu Changsheng said he could solve their daughter’s situation.

Seeing her daughter like this still made her heart ache.

A day later, Lu Lingxiao was pulled out of the large bronze cauldron by Lu Changsheng.

As the medicinal bath cleansed him and awakened his Dragon Chant Physique, he too fell asleep.

Lu Changsheng could clearly see that his son’s white flesh was now glowing with a precious light, crystal clear like warm jade.

His meridians and dantian were not only filled with pure and concentrated spiritual energy but also permeated with strands of blazing Dragon’s Chant Yang energy.

As long as this son started cultivating and practiced a Yang-attribute technique, he would progress rapidly and make great strides.

Lu Changsheng then checked his son’s Dragon Chant Physique.

“As I suspected.”

Lu Changsheng squinted his eyes slightly.

He himself had the Dragon Chant Physique, so he could clearly see the differences between his son’s physique and his own.

As he had suspected, his son’s Dragon’s Chant Yang energy lacked the nurturing effect on flesh and bones.

Overall, it was much less effective than his own.

But it could also be because his son was still young and hadn’t started cultivating yet, so the Dragon Chant Physique’s effects hadn’t fully manifested.

“But no matter what, Xiao’er’s talent is destined to be extraordinary. He will be the pillar of the Lu Family in the future.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on it.

Even if his son didn’t have the Dragon Chant Physique, his first-Tier Spirit Root talent was already extraordinary.

The Dragon Chant Physique, even if incomplete, would be no worse than a mid-level Spirit Body and might even have the effect of a high-level Spirit Body!

“Zixiao, I want Xiao’er to take Hong Lian as his master. What do you think?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng transmitted his thoughts to Ling Zixiao, asking for her opinion.

After acquiring the Dragon Chant Physique, he knew that Yang, fire, and lightning techniques would be most suitable for his son.

The techniques he currently possessed weren’t as suitable for Lu Lingxiao as Hong Lian’s Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Scripture.

So he thought about having Lu Lingxiao take Hong Lian as his master and have her teach him.

Not only would he find a teacher for his son, but it would also strengthen the bond between him and Hong Lian.

After all this time together, Lu Changsheng still couldn’t figure out why Hong Lian, a Nascent Soul True Lord, was so obedient to him.

Although he had a good personality and could help her rebuild her body in the future, it still didn’t make sense for her to be like this, right?

So he was willing to deepen his relationship with her.

“Take Hong Lian as his master?”

Ling Zixiao immediately said, “If Xiao’er can take Senior Hong Lian as his master, that would be wonderful!”

Although Hong Lian showed no airs in front of Lu Changsheng.

They all respected and revered her.

If her son could take a Nascent Soul True Lord as his master, it would be a great thing in her eyes!

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, looked at the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman, and asked Hong Lian, “Hong Lian, what do you think of Xiao’er?”

“Xiao’er has a first-Tier Spirit Root and the Dragon Chant Physique, so he is naturally exceptionally talented.”

Hong Lian understood the meaning behind Lu Changsheng’s words and replied.

“I want to ask if you would be willing to take Xiao’er as your disciple.”

Lu Changsheng pondered slightly.

“If the young master is willing, Hong Lian would be happy to accept.”

Hong Lian immediately replied.

Although she didn’t have much interest in taking a disciple.

Lu Lingxiao’s talent wasn’t enough to make her feel the need to take him as a disciple.

But if Lu Changsheng was willing to entrust this son to her and have him take her as his master, she would be happy to do so.

After all, in the world of cultivation, the relationship between master and disciple was akin to that of parents.

If she became Lu Lingxiao’s master, her relationship with Lu Changsheng would become closer.

“Good. In that case, when Xiao’er wakes up, I’ll have him formally take you as his master.”

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly upon hearing this.

Six days later, Lu Changsheng received a message from Ling Zixiao saying that their son, Lu Lingxiao, had awakened.

He couldn’t help but marvel at how long this son had slept.

After all, when his daughter, Lu Wangshu, underwent a similar baptism, she only slept for three days and nights.

But then, he remembered that the medicinal bath he had prepared this time was meant for two people.

However, because Lu Linghe was pulled out halfway due to the Dragon Chant Physique,

the remaining bath was entirely absorbed by Lu Lingxiao, who had awakened the Dragon Chant Physique.

So it was normal for him to sleep longer in this situation.

When he arrived at the small courtyard, he immediately saw Ling Zixiao and their two children, discussing something.

“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely protect my sister.”

Lu Lingxiao said seriously.

“Husband.”

“Father! Father!”

When the three of them saw Lu Changsheng approaching, they immediately called out.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng paused when he saw his son, Lu Lingxiao.

He noticed that his son’s originally clear black-and-white eyes had turned a light golden color.

He had noticed before that his son’s eyes sometimes glowed with a faint golden light.

But now they had completely turned golden, like amber in the sunlight, exuding a sacred and majestic aura.

“Husband, since Xiao’er woke up, his eyes have been like this. But I’ve checked his condition and found nothing abnormal.”

Ling Zixiao transmitted her thoughts to Lu Changsheng, a little worried.

“Hong Lian, do you know what’s going on?”

Lu Changsheng took out the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman and asked Hong Lian.

“It could be due to the recent awakening of his Spirit Body, or it could be because his Spirit Body is incomplete…”

Hong Lian replied softly.

Spirit Bodies were very mysterious, and even though she was a Nascent Soul True Lord, she couldn’t fully understand the situation.

Moreover, she only had her divine soul now and couldn’t specifically examine Lu Lingxiao’s condition.

“An incomplete Spirit Body…”

Lu Changsheng heard this and smiled as he said to his son, “Xiao’er, these eyes of yours are quite majestic. In the future, people will see them and know that Lu Changsheng has a son like a Qilin.”

He wasn’t too concerned about these golden eyes.

He just thought that they would make it obvious to others how extraordinary his son was, which could attract trouble.

“Father, what about me? What about me?”

Lu Linghe heard this and immediately ran to Lu Changsheng, puffing out her chest, wanting her father to praise her too.

“Hahaha, my little Xiaohe is obedient and cute, innocent and lively. Who wouldn’t like her?”

“Father loves Xiaohe the most.”

Lu Changsheng saw his daughter’s adorable expression and rubbed her hair, laughing as he spoke.

After the family of four had a happy chat, Lu Changsheng called out to Lu Lingxiao, “Xiao’er, come with me.”

He had originally planned to start cultivating with both siblings.

But with his daughter Lu Linghe’s situation, her cultivation had to be postponed.

After all, if she started cultivating and awakened the Dragon Chant Physique, it would cause some trouble.

“Father.”

Lu Lingxiao immediately followed Lu Changsheng to the hall.

“You’re about to start cultivating, so I’ve found a master for you.”

Lu Changsheng said, raising his hand slightly as the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman glowed with radiant light, revealing the sacredly noble and ethereal figure of Hong Lian.

Lu Lingxiao immediately looked at the ethereal figure of Hong Lian, dressed in a luxurious palace gown and with a stunningly beautiful face.

Seeing her scarlet pupils, he couldn’t help but recall his own light golden eyes in the mirror earlier, causing him to pause.

“This is your master, Hong Lian.”

Lu Changsheng said to his son, “Hurry and pay your respects to your master.”

“Disciple Lu Lingxiao pays respects to Master!”

Lu Lingxiao immediately took half a step back, knelt down, and performed the formal ceremony of acknowledging a master.

Ling Zixiao had already told him about Hong Lian’s high and noble status, as well as the immense benefits of having her as a master.

“Very good. From now on, you will be my disciple.”

Hong Lian accepted the ceremony calmly, her voice elegant and noble.

Then she raised her hand slightly, “Rise. I have no gifts for you now, so I will guide your cultivation instead.”

“Yes, Master!”

Lu Lingxiao stood up and replied.

Afterward, Hong Lian began teaching Lu Lingxiao how to cultivate.

It seemed that people with good talent generally didn’t lack comprehension.

Under Hong Lian’s guidance, Lu Lingxiao began cultivating in about an hour.

Even before he had the chance to absorb the world’s spiritual energy, the spiritual energy and Dragon’s Chant Yang energy within his body allowed him to complete the Qi initiation stage.

Both Hong Lian and Lu Changsheng could see that with this kind of cultivation, Lu Lingxiao would likely break through quickly.

Lu Changsheng felt that at this rate, his son Lu Lingxiao could break through to Foundation Establishment by the time he was in his early twenties!

“As expected, if effort alone worked, who would need talent?”

Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.

Seeing how his children were growing into geniuses, he realized that effort was insignificant in the face of absolute talent.

Then, he handed the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman to his son Lu Lingxiao, telling him to consult Hong Lian if he encountered any problems.
