Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 1788: Chapter 599: Heading to the Front Lines (Part 2)

"Indeed, it’s a full mobilization. If anything goes wrong, many families might decline or even perish."

Lu Changsheng silently sighed in his heart.

"Mu Ping greets Uncle!"

"Greetings to Changsheng True Master!"

"I’ve seen Changsheng True Master, Talisman Fairy."

Upon seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, many people immediately paid respectful greetings and stepped forward to meet him.

With such an urgent summons, they couldn’t refuse and could only obey the order to come, unaware of the situation at the front lines, having little assurance.

If they could hold onto Lu Changsheng, the Nascent Soul Immortal, at this time, perhaps they might receive some favor.

Many, seeing Lu Changsheng bringing his precious daughter Lu Wangshu, felt relieved, thinking the battlefield wouldn’t be too intense.

Otherwise, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t have brought Lu Wangshu.

"Mu Ping, Daoist Bai."

Lu Changsheng nodded to acquaintances.

When the ancestor of the Sima Family saw Lu Changsheng, he just quietly retreated.

"Changsheng True Master."

A moment later, the Nascent Soul Immortal in charge here came forward to greet and exchange pleasantries with Lu Changsheng.

Although such family cultivators like Lu Changsheng weren’t usually given much regard,

Lu Changsheng, being a Dao companion with Xiao Xiyue and a Third Rank Superior Grade Talisman Master, was worth associating with.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle."

Thanks to the previous Dao companion ceremony, Lu Wangshu was generally familiar with the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Qingyun Sect and greeted them obediently upon meeting.

"Wangshu is here too."

The Nascent Soul cultivator smiled.

Although this pioneering war wouldn’t be extremely fierce, there was still considerable risk.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel more favorable towards Lu Changsheng, thinking the Lu Family was fully supporting the Qingyun Sect.

Lu Changsheng did not linger there long; after a few words, he took Lu Wangshu to Caiyun Peak to find Xiao Xiyue.

"Wangshu!"

Xiao Xiyue was somewhat surprised to see her daughter arriving.

After a slight moment of thought, she considered it a good opportunity.

On one hand, it could broaden her daughter’s experience.

On the other hand, if her daughter performed exceptionally well, she could try to see if the merits could be transferred to her daughter, helping her exchange for some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, or even a Coagulation Crystal Elixir.

Nevertheless, she still advised her daughter to be extra careful on the front lines.

During this time, through the Qingyun Sect, she had understood the detailed situation of the pioneering war and the frontline conditions.

"Mother, don’t worry."

Lu Wangshu said with a playful smile.

With her father’s company, she didn’t think there would be any danger.

"Hehe."

Lu Changsheng looked at mother and daughter, with a hint of smile on his face.

Only in front of him and their daughter would Xiao Xiyue show such a soft side.

But if Xiao Xiyue knew her daughter’s actions in the Great Dream Marsh, even daring to provoke a Demon King, he wondered what she would think.

...

Two days later, the Qingyun Sect warship was ready to set sail for the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.

Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue, along with Lu Wangshu, boarded the spiritual vessel.

As Nascent Soul Immortals, they had luxurious upper rooms and didn’t need to squeeze in with others.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Lu Changsheng saw a tall, middle-aged man with graying temples, wearing a dark yellow cloak.

The man happened to be looking at Lu Changsheng as well.

Their eyes met in the air.

"Changsheng True Master, I’ve heard of your great reputation."

The man’s expression showed no joy or anger as he spoke to Lu Changsheng with an imposing aura.

"Greetings, True Man Xu."

Lu Changsheng recognized him.

He was the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Beast Taming Xu Family.

This was his first time meeting this Xu Family ancestor.

Although his appearance looked middle-aged in his forties or fifties,

Lu Changsheng knew this man’s age wasn’t young, and his lifespan was not much.

"It’s likely the matter of the Wang Family ancestor’s passing won’t stay hidden for long, will it?"

At this time, Lu Changsheng thought of the ancestor of the Five Elements Wang Family.

Their situation was much worse than this Xu Family ancestor’s.

Previously, through some secret technique, they made an appearance at the Qingyun Sect in a flash of vitality to attend the Dao companion ceremony of him and Xiao Xiyue.

Most likely, right after returning, they passed away.

But now, during the period of the pioneering war, and with the Wang Family unlikely to announce this publicly.

As long as the death of the Wang Family Elder Ancestor is not confirmed, the forces coveting the Wang Family dare not act.

But now that Jiang Country is urgently conscripting, the news of the Wang Family Elder Ancestor’s passing away might not be hidden for long.

"Truly, new talents emerge in every generation; Changsheng True Master’s achievement is indeed impressive, and his future is boundless."

The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family had a deep and sharp gaze, like the cold eyes of a beast, carrying an authoritative presence as he spoke.

"Haha, you flatter me, Daoist. I have only just formed my core, far incomparable to your esteemed family, and the road ahead is still long."

Lu Changsheng replied with a calm smile, unaffected by the other’s imposing presence.

However, this Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family indeed possessed something, almost not human-like, resembling a Demon King.

If it were a newly breakthrough Core Formation cultivator, they might be intimidated by his aura and stare.

The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family said no more, walking steadily into his own room.

"Changsheng."

Xiao Xiyue noticed that the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family seemed unfriendly.

"It’s fine."

Lu Changsheng smiled, not dwelling on what had just happened.

This Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family might have some skills, but if it came to a fight, he could easily slap him to death.

However, as long as the opponent didn’t seek death, he wouldn’t act recklessly.

On the one hand, it could cause trouble for himself.

On the other hand, having another Beast Taming Xu Family in the Qingyun Region could help alleviate some pressure for his own family.

"This Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family is so fierce."

After the three entered the room, Lu Wangshu whispered.

She had seen the gaze of the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family just now, and there was a sense of not daring to look directly at it.

"The Xu Family is renowned for Beast Taming, and their cultivation technique naturally leans towards Beast Taming techniques. After cultivating to such a level, it’s inevitable that he’d have the appearance of a Demon King."

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

Such techniques do have some effect.

Like the bloodline suppression among Demon Beasts, his son Lu Qingshan’s Sword Intent, or his son Lu Lingxiao’s true form as Son of Heaven.

In a battle against others, this gaze and aura are enough to weaken the opponent by three points without any basis.

"This Changsheng True Master is not simple."

"This person achieved Core Formation at under a hundred years old, and even has the potential to reach Half-Step Golden Core. How could he be simple?"

"Talisman cultivators, through long-term talisman making and contemplation of the Talisman Path, have divine souls more condensed than regular people. Lu Changsheng, having just broken through to Core Formation, can already create Third Rank Superior Grade Talismans. It’s likely that he acquired divine soul-related heavenly and earthly treasures in his early years."

Just now, the encounter between Lu Changsheng and the Xu Family Elder Ancestor was also witnessed by several Core Formation and False Core Immortals of the Qingyun Sect.

As cultivators of the Qingyun Sect, they were naturally pleased to see the Lu Family and the Xu Family in conflict.

However, Lu Changsheng’s performance earlier still surprised them greatly.

After all, it’s been just five years since he broke through to Core Formation.

Yet he stood against the veteran Core Formation elder like the Xu Family Elder Ancestor without losing an ounce of aura.

...

With Lu Wangshu being the third wheel, during this time, Lu Changsheng took to guiding and teaching his daughter in talisman making.

In the meantime, he continued making some Third Rank Talismans.

"Sss..."

Lu Wangshu, watching her father skillfully maneuver the talisman brush on the talisman paper, was in awe, as if seeing an illusion.

She, although a Third-rank Talisman Master, still struggled to create Third Rank Lower Grade Talismans over the years, with limited success rate.

Each time she completed a talisman, she had to rest for quite a while.

Yet her father, like an unfeeling talisman-making machine, completed a Third Rank Middle Grade Talisman within fifteen minutes.

And he continuously made seven or eight talismans without showing any sign of fatigue.

It’s known that talisman making is extremely taxing on the mental spirit.

Many Talisman Masters even faced premature aging and shorter lifespans due to over-exertion in talisman making.

"Talisman making is extremely draining on one’s mental spirit and power of the divine soul. Even if a Core Formation cultivator’s divine soul is extraordinary, it’s impossible to be like this."

"Hmph, father still denies being a Nascent Soul True Lord!"

Lu Wangshu pouted slightly, secretly thinking to herself, believing she found another slip up of her father.

Beside her, Xiao Xiyue was also taken aback by Lu Changsheng’s talisman making efficiency.

After all, as a Core Formation cultivator, her husband and daughter were both Talisman Masters, and she had a certain understanding of talisman making.

She knew that talisman making was not only difficult to master but also extremely taxing on the mental spirit.

"Are you distracted again, thinking of something else?"

Lu Changsheng lifted his talisman brush, exhaled lightly, and flicked his finger on his daughter’s pristine forehead when he saw her daydreaming.

"Dad, I told you not to flick my forehead anymore. It’s your fault I couldn’t advance to Third Rank Middle Grade Talisman Master!"

Lu Wangshu protested immediately, then turned to her mother Xiao Xiyue to complain, "Mom, dad keeps knocking on my head, I feel like he’s making me stupid!"

"Haha, blaming me, yet all you think about is playing every day."

Lu Changsheng laughed, with spiritual patterns manifesting in his hand, indicating for his daughter to listen well.

The usually aloof and proud Xiao Xiyue listened with a gentle smile by his side.

It had been a long time since the three of them, as a family, enjoyed such warmth.
