Chapter Index

    “Oh, the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons have advanced?”

    Lu Changsheng heard this and raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit pleased.

    Years ago, he had invested significant time and effort into these Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons.

    However, their growth was slow.

    Even with constant resource input and the use of Ancient Beast Taming Talismans, the speed barely improved, so he gradually stopped paying attention.

    Now, a Dao Soldier had finally advanced to the second grade, which made him feel quite happy.

    “Chensha, come see me.”

    Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense enveloped the entire Biyun Peak. He called for his son, Lu Chensha, who was training Ironfire Ants, intending to check out the Second-Tier Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons.

    It wasn’t long before Lu Chensha arrived at the Lu Family Mansion.

    Upon seeing Lu Changsheng and the others, he immediately bowed and saluted, “Chensha greets Father and Aunt.”

    “Hmm.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and took Lu Chensha to the peak of Biyun Peak, saying, “Show me the Second-Tier Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons.”

    “Yes, Father!”

    Lu Chensha responded respectfully, then took out the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman and activated the ‘Beast Scripture.’

    “Buzz!”

    The talisman glowed, sending out a black light that transformed into a Black Water Flood Dragon, about three meters long and as thick as a barrel, covered in dark, dense scales.

    This Black Water Flood Dragon had a pair of short legs under its belly, exuding a cold, dark gleam. Atop its head, there was only a small black horn.

    “Roar!”

    As soon as the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon appeared, a thick mist enveloped the area, making it look like it was flying on clouds.

    “A Second-Tier Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon has awakened its innate demonic abilities: Black Water Divine Light, Cloud Surfing, and Mirage Technique.”

    Lu Changsheng examined the Dao Soldier before him.

    The Black Water Flood Dragon Curse refined the demon beast into a Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon. In the first grade, their appearance still varied greatly.

    Upon advancing to the second grade, they began shedding most of their original features to resemble a Black Water Flood Dragon.

    When these soldiers advance to the third grade, unless the demon beast’s bloodline is extraordinary, its unique traits will be completely assimilated to fully resemble a Black Water Flood Dragon.

    “Although it’s only second grade and doesn’t have high combat strength, it’s still quite a statement to ride it.”

    Lu Changsheng chuckled as he looked at the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon before him.

    This was a water-based Dao Soldier.

    Its true strength could only be unleashed in aquatic environments.

    If taken elsewhere, its combat power would be average, at best.

    However, it certainly had a formidable appearance, looking mighty and imposing, with a touch of dragon-like majesty.

    “Is this the only Second-Tier Black Water Flood Dragon?”

    Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Chensha.

    “Yes, Father. Right now, only this Dao Soldier has advanced to the second grade. Five more are in the process of advancing, and three are on the verge of it. They should advance within a year.”

    Lu Chensha explained.

    Lu Changsheng had a total of eighty-one Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons.

    The ones refined from the Azure Blood Carp King and some lower and mid-Tier bloodline demon beasts had weaker potential, so they were only lightly nurtured and not rushed to advance to the second grade.

    After all, advancing these Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons to the second grade would exhaust their potential, making it difficult to reach the third grade.

    However, even the nine main Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons, though more carefully nurtured, didn’t have exceptionally high bloodlines, only High-Tier bloodlines at best.

    “Hmm.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, then stepped onto the head of the Black Water Flood Dragon.

    Although he had given the Black Water Flood Dragon Token to Lu Chensha,

    these Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons were still refined through his Black Water Flood Dragon Curse, making them instinctively respect him and remain under his control.

    “Come up.”

    Lu Changsheng raised his hand, lifting his son, Lu Chensha, onto the Black Water Flood Dragon’s head as well, preparing to test the power of the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons.

    “Roar, roar, roar!”

    The Black Water Flood Dragon let out a roar, its scales shimmering as mist rolled around it, speeding toward Bishui Lake.

    “What’s this?”

    “A Flood Dragon! This is a Second-Tier Flood Dragon!”

    “When did we get a Second-Tier Flood Dragon!?”

    “It’s Father and Chensha!”

    Many on Biyun Peak were startled by the commotion and saw a mighty black Flood Dragon flying toward Bishui Lake, with two figures standing on its fearsome head.

    “Besides the Nine Abyss Mastiff guarding White Tiger Mountain, Bihu Mountain actually has another Second-Tier spirit beast!?”

    “Could this Second-Tier Flood Dragon be the mount of Patriarch Lu?”

    “What’s Patriarch Lu planning to do?”

    Cultivators who had come to Bihu Mountain to attend the ceremony were also surprised, shocked, and envious at the sight.

    Although Lu Changsheng didn’t care much about this Second-Tier Dao Soldier, only raising it for fun,

    to other family cultivators, a Second-Tier great demon was a clan-guarding spirit beast!

    Especially since the Black Water Flood Dragon looked quite impressive.

    As it flew high in the sky, without a closer look, one might even mistake it for an earth-Tier bloodline Flood Dragon demon beast.

    “Roar, roar, roar—”

    Upon arriving above Bishui Lake, the Black Water Flood Dragon became more excited, its surroundings filled with dense mist, causing waves below.

    “Behave.”

    Lu Changsheng’s expression turned displeased as he stepped on the dragon’s head.

    After all, Bishui Lake was his family’s property, home to many spirit fish. What if they got killed?

    The Black Water Flood Dragon let out a whimper, quickly restraining its aura.

    Then, a token appeared in Lu Changsheng’s hand.

    This token contained some formation restrictions, allowing him to control the formation of Bihu Mountain.

    Lu Changsheng activated the second transformation of the Bihu Mountain Formation, ‘Azure Water Layers’.

    Suddenly, water columns shot up from Bishui Lake, layers of mist rising, covering the area in a blue water flow and hazy mist, isolating the surrounding world.

    Then, Lu Changsheng spoke to his son, Lu Chensha, “Release all the Dao Soldiers, except those currently advancing.”

    As he spoke, the Yin-Yang Dao Golden Core in his dantian circled around the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus, emanating radiant light.

    “Boom, boom, boom—”

    As his dantian roared, Lu Changsheng’s aura revealed a trace of power from the Black Dragon Scripture.

    This was the ‘Dominance of All Laws’ from the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra!

    As long as he fully comprehended the technique, he could use the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus to convert his Yin-Yang power into this unique aura.

    At the same time, Lu Chensha released the remaining seventy-five Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons.

    Immediately, several large black Flood Dragons and Dragon Fish surrounded the area.

    These were all first-Tier Dao Soldiers, each with distinct appearances.

    However, their similar black color, lined up in formation, still exuded a formidable presence.

    “The Dao Soldier Token.”

    Lu Changsheng looked at his son and continued.

    Without hesitation, Lu Chensha took out a palm-sized black Jade Token.

    It was engraved with a Black Water Flood Dragon, as if soaring into the heavens.

    Unlike Lu Changsheng, Lu Chensha hadn’t cultivated the Black Dragon Scripture, so without the Dao Soldier Token, the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons wouldn’t obey.

    “Black Water Flood Dragon Curse, Black Water Flood Dragon Battle Formation!”

    Lu Changsheng took the token and began forming hand seals while looking at the Dao Soldiers.

    “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

    The seventy-five Dao Soldiers quickly arranged themselves in formation as the Black Water Flood Dragon Curse within them activated.

    “Boom, boom, boom—”

    In an instant, the first-Tier Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons merged with the energy of the Second-Tier Black Water Flood Dragon beneath Lu Changsheng, causing all their demonic power to converge into a massive dragon’s shadow.

    The shadow was five or six meters tall, incredibly solid, radiating the intimidating aura of a mid-second grade entity.

    “Is this…”

    Lu Chensha was shocked and scared by what he saw.

    He always knew his father wasn’t an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

    But witnessing this with his own eyes left him utterly stunned.

    Especially the towering dragon’s shadow, which made him feel insignificant, weak, and filled with a sense of fear.

    “It’s said that some profound techniques can have Dao Soldiers form a battle formation, which can even enhance one’s power.”

    “Is this Father’s life-bound Dao Soldier?”

    Lu Chensha speculated.

    In the ‘Beast Scripture’ he cultivated, there were also methods for nurturing Dao Soldiers, but he hadn’t yet reached that level.

    “Not bad.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded slightly at the dragon’s shadow.

    No wonder Immortal Qingluan could fight a late Golden Core cultivator head-on in the early Golden Core stage.

    Even with just these Dao Soldiers, he could make an early Foundation Establishment cultivator fight a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment one.

    If he could gather five hundred Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons, they could likely kill a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator or even oppose a False Core one!

    Since the formation could only hide so much, Lu Changsheng didn’t push the dragon’s shadow any further, instead casting another hand seal.

    “Roar!”

    The dragon’s shadow roared and scattered, turning into dark light that coiled around Lu Changsheng.

    In an instant, a black dragon armor with a fearsome design slowly formed over his blue robes.

    Engraved with various talismans, the armor had two dragon head pauldrons on either shoulder, vivid and lifelike, with dark golden eyes and what seemed like dragon breath snorting from their noses, making Lu Changsheng look regal and imposing, like a sovereign emperor.

    Seeing his father’s appearance, Lu Chensha felt an overwhelming pressure.

    Even though Lu Changsheng was just trying it out, not releasing any tangible aura.

    The Black Dragon Scripture’s effect was like dragon might, making Lu Chensha’s entire body tense up, his heart pounding ‘thump, thump, thump,’ as if he wanted to bow down.

    This pressure didn’t come from cultivation or aura.

    It was a pure mental and spiritual pressure!

    Just like the natural suppression between demon beasts of different bloodline grades!

    “Later, go to Xuanfu Peak and get used to the Dragon Blood Tree’s aura.”

    Seeing his son struggling, Lu Changsheng spoke.

    His calm voice now carried an undeniable authority.

    “Yes, Father!”

    Lu Chensha immediately straightened up, realizing his performance had disappointed his father. He quickly activated the ‘Beast Scripture,’ standing tall.

    “Now that Ping’an has reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, with these Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons, he might not even need to use the Hundred Refined Body Technique to fight a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

    “When all nine Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons reach the second grade, with his quasi-Third-Tier Body Tempering, he might even challenge someone like Sima Tong, a False Core cultivator, in a head-on fight and even gain the upper hand.”

    Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

    Through a simple test, he gained a detailed understanding of his Dao Soldiers’ capabilities.

    For him, they wouldn’t be of much help.

    But for his children who were cultivating the Black Dragon Scripture, they were a significant force.

    Even if his children had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, leading this group of Dao Soldiers would allow them to confront Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators head-on.

    If they encountered a weaker Foundation Establishment cultivator, they might even kill them outright.

    “Alright, put these Dao Soldiers away.”

    “Just nurture these Second-Tier Dao Soldiers normally from now on. No need to invest too many resources.”

    The black dragon armor on Lu Changsheng’s body slowly dissipated as he spoke to his son, Lu Chensha.

    Nurturing Dao Soldiers required a tremendous amount of resources.

    Over the past few decades, he had spent several hundred thousand Spirit Stones on these Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons.

    To advance them to the third grade would require an unthinkable amount of resources.

    Moreover, Dao Soldiers, no matter how much you invest in them, require a great deal of time!

    And with their mediocre foundation,

    even though they had reached the second grade, advancing to the third grade would be incredibly difficult.

    It would be easier in the future to find young dragons with earth-Tier or heaven-Tier bloodlines and refine them into Dao Soldiers for nurturing.

    “Yes, Father.”

    Lu Chensha responded respectfully.

    As a beast tamer, he naturally understood how much resources it took to nurture spirit beasts and Dao Soldiers.

    Those resources would be enough to raise multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators!

    “I wonder how my Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons compare to the Xu Family’s Water Snake Dao Soldiers.”

    At that moment, Lu Changsheng thought of the two famous Dao Soldier units of the Beast Taming Xu Family in the Jiang Kingdom.

    The Water Snake Dao Soldiers!

    The Fire Crow Dao Soldiers!

    Lu Changsheng believed that, sooner or later, a clash with the Xu Family would be unavoidable.

    For one, there were some small grudges between the two families.

    On the other hand, the Qingyun Region probably couldn’t accommodate two Golden Core families!

    “When Hong Lian awakens, she can cultivate a unit of fire-based Dao Soldiers. It would be interesting to see a Dao Soldier battle if a conflict arises.”

    Lu Changsheng chuckled to himself, thinking.

    Hong Lian had several methods for nurturing fire-based Dao Soldiers.

    However, nurturing Dao Soldiers was tedious, complex, and expensive, so Lu Changsheng had only nurtured the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons.

    Now that the family was wealthier, if Lu Changsheng didn’t have to spend his time and energy, he would be willing to pay and have Hong Lian nurture one or two Dao Soldier units to enhance the family’s strength.

    He deactivated the ‘Azure Water Layers’ formation using the Mountain Lord’s token.

    Lu Changsheng then rode the Black Water Flood Dragon back to Biyun Peak, with Lu Chensha accompanying him.

    “What just happened?”

    “Was Patriarch Lu showing off his power just now?”

    Many people looked at Lu Changsheng on the Flood Dragon’s head with respectful and awe-filled expressions.

    Even though the formation had concealed the aura,

    some cultivators near the lakeside manor still faintly felt a terrifying pressure.

    “Dad! Dad!”

    As soon as Lu Changsheng returned to Biyun Peak and got off the Black Water Flood Dragon, his daughters, Lu Linghe, Lu Qingqi, and some other little ones, came running up, looking at him with adoration.

    “Chensha, take your younger siblings for a ride, show them around.”

    Lu Changsheng smiled.

    Although many of the children had ridden on spirit boats and Ironfeather Eagles,

    riding a Flood Dragon was a unique experience.

    After all, many handbooks, ancient texts, and storybooks spoke of riding dragons or phoenixes.

    “When the remaining Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons advance to the second grade, a carriage pulled by nine dragons would be way more impressive than the Stormcloud Colts of the Xu Family ancestors back then.”

    Lu Changsheng remembered when, in the Purple Secrets Realm, the ancestors of the Beast Taming Xu Family managed to pull a spirit ship with nine Stormcloud Colts, creating quite a spectacle.

    Although the combat power and speed of his Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons were far inferior to the Stormcloud Colts,

    in terms of grandeur and presence, they were certainly not lacking, perhaps even surpassing many.

    “Yun’r, Zhenzhen, if you want to try, I can take you for a ride later as well,”

    Lu Changsheng said as he noticed Lu Miaoyun and the others lookng at the Black Water Flood Dragon. He smiled as he spoke.

    During dinner, Lu Changsheng saw his son, Lu Ping’an, and reminded him, “Ping’an, make sure to spend some time studying the Secret Techniques and battle formation methods of the ‘Black Dragon Scripture’.”

    Although the Dao Soldiers could be passed down,

    right now, besides Lu Changsheng, only Lu Ping’an could utilize and bring out their full potential.

    “Yes, Father.”

    Lu Ping’an nodded in agreement.

    Six days later, Lu Wangshu’s Foundation Establishment ceremony was about to begin.

    Finally, Lu Wangshu, the main figure, returned from Flower and Fruit Mountain to Bihu Mountain.

    Because Lu Changsheng planned to have his son, Lu Ping’an, make an appearance at the ceremony, Xia Zhiyue had not yet returned and remained stationed at Flower and Fruit Mountain.

    “Well! So, Lu Chensha, you have something so cool and didn’t bring me?”

    Lu Wangshu exclaimed in dismay when she saw that the family had gained a Flood Dragon while she was away.

    “Elder Sister Wangshu, this is just the previous Black Water Dragon Snake. It only advanced to the second grade a few days ago and gained the ability to fly.”

    Lu Chensha explained in response.

    “Let me have a go.”

    Lu Wangshu, intrigued, closely examined the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon before her.

    Soon, Lu Chensha handed the Black Water Flood Dragon Token to Lu Wangshu, giving her a basic rundown of how to control it.

    A little while later, at Bishui Lake,

    Lu Wangshu was riding on the head of the Second-Tier Black Water Flood Dragon.

    Nearby, Lu Chensha, Lu Qingxian, Lu Qingqi, Lu Linghe, and Lu Qingli were riding the Black Water Dragon Fish, enjoying themselves.

    “Hmm, these spirit beasts have similar colors. Is the Lu Family cultivating Dao Soldiers?”

    An old Foundation Establishment cultivator, seeing this scene, speculated with astonishment.

    The name Dao Soldier was known to many,

    but aside from the Four Great Immortal Sects and Golden Core families like the Beast Taming Xu Family, no other group had the ability to nurture them.

    It wasn’t that they didn’t want to.

    One reason was the lack of a Dao Soldier heritage.

    The other reason was the shortage of resources and capabilities.

    Everyone knew that nurturing a Dao Soldier unit required astronomical resources!

    It was impossible for a mere Foundation Establishment family.

    Even for a Golden Core family, it was a considerable burden!

    “Bihu Mountain can’t fully support the nurturing of Dao Soldiers, but perhaps there’s some kind of Dao Soldier inheritance here!”

    “Now, with Lu Ping’an and Lu Wangshu, two prodigies, backed by the Azure Cloud Sect and Caiyun Peak, Bihu Mountain truly seems poised to become a Golden Core family in the future!”

    “Bihu Mountain’s Lu Family is terrifyingly powerful!”

    Many Foundation Establishment elders who came to congratulate him marveled at Bihu Mountain’s strength, heritage, and potential.

    “Lu Wangshu!”

    Lu Lingxiao, hearing that Lu Wangshu had returned, immediately sought out his sister for a sparring match.

    He knew about Lu Wangshu’s achievements in the Hongye Valley Marketplace, and though he wasn’t her match, he still wanted to see the gap between them.

    Sometime later.

    “Lu Lingxiao, you need to work harder and show more respect to your elder sister, understood?”

    Lu Wangshu, dressed in a pink and white skirt, smiled brightly, patting her brother’s shoulder.

    Thinking to herself, she was glad to have the Xuan Yuan Pearl from Father.

    Otherwise, against Lu Lingxiao, she might have had to use talismans and Talisman Weapons.

    “Got it, Sister Wangshu.”

    Lu Lingxiao grumbled, his mouth twitching as he forced out the words.

    He hadn’t expected the gap between him and Lu Wangshu to be so vast, not even forcing her to use her Talisman Formation skills.

    But he didn’t get discouraged. This time, he just wanted to see the gap between them.

    He planned to challenge Lu Wangshu again once he obtained his Life-bound Spirit Tool and mastered the Foundation Establishment technique!

    Five days later, Lu Wangshu’s Foundation Establishment ceremony officially began.

    However, for all the guests, this ceremony wasn’t just for Lu Wangshu’s Foundation Establishment; it was also for the False Core Ceremony of Lu Ping’an and the Talisman Master Ceremony of Patriarch Lu Changsheng!

    Thus, the ceremony was grand in scale.

    Every faction representative or independent cultivator who came to the ceremony offered a congratulatory gift.

    Even many uninvited minor Qi Refining families or small forces prepared gifts to present at Bihu Mountain.

    After all, for these minor factions, this was an opportunity.

    If they could get acquainted with the Lu Family through gift-giving and establish a relationship, it would be worth any expense.

    “The Fifth Elder of the Xie Family from Lingxi Lake presents three Foundation Establishment treasures and a Top-Tier Spirit Tool!”

    “The Misty Rain Market’s Lord gives a Second-Tier demon core!”

    “Lu Family Ancestor from Qingzhu Mountain presents ten Jade Bamboo of Immense Treasures!”

    Typically, the higher the cultivation, the greater the gift.

    But these gifts were a matter of courtesy.

    In the future, when these factions held their ceremonies, the Lu Family would have to reciprocate.

    “What a grand ceremony this is.”

    “I think it was thirty-nine years ago when I attended the ceremony establishing the Lu Family at Bihu Mountain with our family elder. I never imagined they’d become a False Core family so quickly!”

    “I always knew the Lu Family would rise, but I didn’t think it would be this fast.”

    “Back then, the Luo Family quickly rose to power because their direct daughter caught the eye of Patriarch Lu and became his concubine. They’ve had two great Qi Refining cultivators emerge since then. But now, ordinary women can no longer catch Patriarch Lu’s eye.”

    Many guests marveled as they exchanged quiet conversations, reflecting on the extravagant gifts and the bustling Foundation Establishment cultivators.

    These groups, who had regular dealings with Bihu Mountain, were particularly sentimental.

    They had seen the rise of the Lu Family at Bihu Mountain.

    None of them expected that in a blink of an eye, Bihu Mountain would grow into such a colossal force.

    Old Ancestor Bai Yunyang from the Bai Family of Hundred Bird Lake was particularly dazed.

    He had even helped when Lu Changsheng attacked Bihu Mountain years ago.

    But now, after over three decades, his Hundred Bird Lake Family still only had him as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

    While Bihu Mountain now openly boasted nine Foundation Establishment cultivators. The difference was staggering!

    It wasn’t that his Bai Family was falling behind.

    In thirty-nine years, thanks to their association with the Bihu Mountain and the Hongye Valley Marketplace, the Bai Family’s strength had nearly doubled.

    But nowhere had a family developed as Bihu Mountain had.

    Hong Yi also came to offer his congratulations at Bihu Mountain.

    Looking at the scene before him, he was overwhelmed with emotion.

    Had someone told him sixty years ago that Lu Changsheng would grow to such heights,

    he wouldn’t have believed it even if they beat it into him.

    Now, he was incredibly grateful for having met Lu Changsheng and for their friendship.

    “If I can witness Xuanji reaching Foundation Establishment, I’ll have no regrets in this life.”

    Hong Yi thought about his son, Hong Xuanji, who had recently told him he was preparing to advance to Foundation Establishment.

    The reason was simple: his wife, Lu Caizhen, had petitioned for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

    When Hong Yi heard this, he thought he was dreaming, imagining things.

    After all, Foundation Establishment Pills were extremely rare.

    Even though he had known Lu Changsheng for many years, he never dared to ask for one.

    Now, the Lu Family had proactively given his son this opportunity.

    Though Hong Yi thought the chances of his son’s Foundation Establishment were slim,

    he still put forth all his family’s savings to help him gather the necessary resources, preparing as best as possible.

    This ceremony was more of a formality for Lu Changsheng.

    Most of the spotlight was on Lu Ping’an, Lu Wangshu, and Lu Xingyang.

    Since Lu Miaoge mentioned she woulddbring out some Third-Tier Talismans as a bonus for the ceremony,

    Lu Changsheng also took out five Third-Tier Lower Talismans for a small auction.

    The enthusiasm among the Foundation Establishment cultivators exceeded Lu Changsheng’s expectations, and each talisman fetched a price of ten thousand Spirit Stones.

    Of the five Third-Tier Talismans, two were sold simply for Spirit Stones, while the other three were exchanged for Spirit Stones and items.

    This made Lu Changsheng realize that these talismans were sometimes more valuable than Foundation Establishment Pills.

    Or rather, Foundation Establishment Pills were something most families and factions required.

    Whereas Third-Tier Talismans were needed by everyone, whether it was a family, faction, or lone cultivator.

    Especially those independent cultivators who risked their lives exploring secret realms,

    “Rest assured, everyone. The Lu Family of Bihu Mountain will continue on the path of harmonious and prosperous growth, with no intention of making enemies with any family or faction.”

    Lu Changsheng spoke towards the end of the ceremony.

    Though no one took his words at face value,

    given Bihu Mountain’s current strength and prestige, they still carried some weight.

    Thus, the Lu Family’s trading company was established, although it wasn’t even fully constructed yet, many forces showed their willingness to join and form a trade alliance.

    Lu Changsheng didn’t care much about these matters and left Lu Xingyang and the others in charge to handle everything.

    After all, he had only set the general direction for the family, and his children were the ones responsible for the specifics. He had little interest in managing these details.

    However, seeing so many families and forces showing such enthusiasm, Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and decided to accept five maidservants as a gesture of goodwill.

    After the ceremony ended, Lu Changsheng continued to spend his days at home, accompanying his wife, concubines, and children. Occasionally, he made talismans, taught Li Xingruo to refine pills, and of course, worked on having more children!

    Half a month later.

    [Congratulations to the host for having your first offspring become a Second-Tier Spirit Plant Master! You have obtained one chance to draw a prize!]

    “A Second-Tier Spirit Plant Master?”

    Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows. For a moment, he wasn’t sure which of his children had advanced to a Second-Tier Spirit Plant Master.

    Since Spirit Plant Cultivation is the simplest of the many arts in Immortal cultivation, several of his children had chosen this path.

    “It must be Xingyue, right?”

    Lu Changsheng pondered and felt that it was likely his daughter, Lu Xingyue.

    Although a few of his children were top-level spirit plant masters,

    either their cultivation was quite low, or they had just recently advanced. His daughter, Lu Xingyue, was the most fitting candidate.

    Moreover, a few days ago, Lu Xingyue had been preparing to cultivate Divine Sense before attempting Foundation Establishment.

    Having Divine Sense would be a great help in such skills.

    Lu Changsheng didn’t give it much thought and silently commanded, “System, draw the prize.”

    A pale red wheel appeared, with golden light beginning to spin.

    After a moment, the golden light stopped on the ‘Magical Treasure’ section.

    [Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Magical Treasure: Wuxiang Treasure Wheel!]

    [The reward has been sent to the system space, and the host can check it at any time.]

    A treasure wheel, crystal-clear with a faint golden glow and ancient engravings, emerged from the large wheel. The system’s prompt sounded.
