Chapter 1236 - 1234: Forging Family, Lu Family’s Young Master, Lu Fugui

Chapter 1236: Chapter 1234: Forging Family, Lu Family’s Young Master, Lu Fugui

At this moment, outside the Wa Huang Immortal Dao Field.

A large crowd was craning their necks, waiting eagerly.

They were all young elites who had come to request an audience with Ling Yuan.

Among them were quite a few people of high status, each one capable of drawing attention from all directions and causing no small stir just by stepping out.

Yet now, they were gathered here like a swarm of bees and butterflies.

The reason was very simple.

They all wanted to obtain a quota to enter the Forgotten Realm and travel together with Ling Yuan.

The Forgotten Realm, being one of the Seven Great Wonders, was dangerous, yes.

But the opportunities within were also countless.

Even putting aside the fortunes of the Ancient Immortal Court, all sorts of other treasures and inheritances would not be lacking.

On top of that, Ling Yuan was a stunning beauty.

If, during the journey, one accidentally captured her heart, that would be a massive windfall.

One would soar in a single leap and become the Immortal Court Prince Consort.

In the future, one might even become a big shot of the Immortal Court.

That would absolutely be a meteoric rise.

It was precisely with such expectations that many young talents were waiting here, necks stretched.

Some of the young elites had even kneeled in front of the palace gates for seven days and seven nights, just to show their sincerity to Ling Yuan.

But unfortunately, during this period, Ling Yuan refused to see anyone.

At this moment, within the crowd.

A man in a black robe was standing there calmly.

He wore a hood over his head, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

Unlike the other young elites whose faces were full of anticipation, tension, and unease.

He seemed very composed, very tranquil.

Just then, another commotion rippled through the crowd.

"My heavens, another direct young master from an Ancient Desolate Family has arrived, how are we supposed to compete for quotas like this?"

"Earlier, a Seed Level figure from the Desolate Ancient Qin Family came, and now another young master from the Desolate Ancient Lu Family has arrived."

"Is it that Young Master Lu Fugui? He’s the offspring of Lu Family’s Emperor Tiangong, the Lu Family’s Young Master."

"But I’ve heard he’s gluttonous and lazy by nature, a complete playboy and lecher, and already has three hundred wives and concubines."

As the discussions spread.

Many people turned to look in one direction.

They saw four beautiful women lifting a Dragon Chariot.

Seated upon it was a fat man in golden robes, white and chubby, like a lump of dough.

He was eating Spirit Fruit with one hand and picking his teeth with a toothpick in the other.

The crowd suddenly realized that the toothpick he was using was actually a Quasi-Emperor Weapon!

"Tsk tsk, worthy indeed of the Desolate Ancient Lu Family, on par with the Gongshu and Mo Families, the strongest Forging Family in our Immortal Realm."

The surrounding young elites couldn’t help clicking their tongues at this scene.

Among the Ancient Desolate Families of the Immortal Realm, the Desolate Ancient Lu Family was not considered top-tier.

If the Jun Family was the foremost Ancient Desolate Family of the Immortal Realm, then the Lu Family could at best rank in the middle.

But their reputation was in no way weak.

Not on the level of the Jun Family, sure, but far stronger than many other Ancient Desolate Families.

The reason was simple: because the Lu Family was a Forging Family.

Rumor had it that the Lu Family ancestors had once forged a Quasi-Immortal Artifact.

You had to know, all the Immortal Artifacts of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm nowadays were relics from ancient times; no one could forge new Immortal Artifacts anymore.

Even a Quasi-Immortal Artifact was not something ordinary people could produce.

And the father of this Lu Fugui, Emperor Tiangong, was also a figure of an era in the Immortal Realm.

In terms of combat power, he wasn’t among the top ranks of the Great Emperors, but his forging ability was second to none.

Many Great Emperors had asked him to forge Emperor’s Weapons and other artifacts, and owed him favors.

This was also why the Lu Family’s influence was so immense.

Even the Lu Family themselves weren’t clear just how many powerful forces owed them favors.

And with the Lu Family’s ability in Weapon forging, they were naturally worth courting and fawning over by powers from all directions.

This Lu Fugui, as the offspring Emperor Tiangong had sealed away to this era, and as a Young Master of the Lu Family, was someone no one dared provoke.

Of course, his reputation was terrible.

Gluttonous and lazy, greedy and lustful.

He had even snatched a Saintess by force before, but because of his backing and support, no one dared hold him accountable.

"Damn it, he already has three hundred wives and concubines, and he’s still here competing with us..."

Some of the young elites didn’t look too pleased.

Even though, with Lu Fugui’s looks, it was basically impossible for Ling Yuan to take a fancy to him.

But even just taking up a single quota meant one less chance for everyone else.

"What, you guys not okay with Young Master me showing up?"

Apparently having vaguely heard the muttering around him, the Lu Family Young Master, Lu Fugui, kept picking his teeth as he spoke lazily.

"No, of course not."

The people nearby quickly backed away, not wanting to provoke this Young Master.

However, there was one black-robed figure that remained where he was.

As if he hadn’t noticed this Lu Family Young Master at all.

"Hm?"

Lu Fugui’s eyes, originally so fat that they were reduced to a single slit, narrowed slightly as he looked at the black-robed man.

Because of his bad reputation.

Most people treated him with wary respect and kept their distance.

Everyone around backed off, yet this black-robed man stood unmoving, as if he didn’t care about him at all.

This aroused a trace of curiosity in Lu Fugui.

He spoke lazily, "Bro, you’re also here to request an audience with Young Emperor Lingyuan?"

The black-robed man seemed to only now register Lu Fugui’s presence.

He replied slowly, calmly, "Wrong. I’m not requesting an audience. I’m having her come see me."

"Oh?"

Lu Fugui froze for a moment, then couldn’t help bursting into loud laughter.

"Hahaha, bro, you think just because you’re dressed in black and acting mysterious, Young Emperor Lingyuan will get curious about you and hand you a spot to accompany her?"

"Save it, bro!"

"See that guy? The young master of a Hidden Ancient Race, he knelt there for seven days and seven nights and still didn’t get to see Young Emperor Lingyuan."

"And that one, he came half a month early and painted a portrait of Young Emperor Lingyuan for her, but still never saw her shadow."

Lu Fugui truly felt like laughing.

Even for him to come here, he’d only been able to rely on his wealth and money, throwing them at the Wa Huang Immortal Dynasty to secure a quota.

This black-robed man—what virtue or ability did he think he had, to make Ling Yuan come to see him?

"Bro, I thought I was already a pretty big braggart, didn’t expect you to be even more full of it than me."

"But if you were that Divine Son of the Jun Family, then maybe it’d be possible," Lu Fugui said with a laugh.

Of course, everyone knew he was just joking.

The Jun Family’s Divine Son was still lying in the Jun Family Ancestral Land recovering; he might not be back on his feet for years.

The black-robed man said calmly, "She will come to see me."

Lu Fugui shook his head and chuckled, "Sigh, yet another one with delusions of grandeur."

With that said, Lu Fugui stopped paying attention to the black-robed man.

Suddenly, just then, the palace’s main doors swung open.

A tall, sublimely beautiful woman walked out calmly.

Countless blossoms of Great Dao rain and the trajectories of Stars appeared around her.

Exquisite beyond compare, the noble and aloof Immortal Court Young Empress finally revealed herself before everyone for the first time.

In an instant, the place exploded!

Many noble young masters of great powers had been waiting for so long for nothing more than a single glimpse of Ling Yuan.

"Holy crap, what a goddess!"

Lu Fugui on the Dragon Chariot completely lost his composure, staring blankly.

His eyes, originally just a single slit, somehow popped open to the size of walnuts—it was a miracle in itself.

Even though he had three hundred beautiful wives and concubines, compared to the peerless grace of Ling Yuan before him—

No...

There simply wasn’t any basis for comparison.

It was like trying to compare a Phoenix in the heavens to a flock of hens on the ground.
