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

Chapter 2060: Chapter 681: _3

He only thought that after Lu Changsheng sent Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu, the brother and sister, back to Yue Country, the remaining time would be spent searching for Lu Ping’an.

However, upon learning Lu Ping’an had broken through to Core Formation, several women gasped in surprise.

"There’s no need to rush and spread this news just yet."

Lu Changsheng said aloud.

Although hosting a Core Formation ceremony to showcase a family of four Core Formation members, with father and sons being three of them, would surely elevate the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family’s reputation further.

But holding such a ceremony might make the Qingyun Sect nervous.

Even though he wasn’t afraid of the Qingyun Sect, he still had some apprehensions about the Heavenly Sword Sect, the overlord of Jiang Country.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng didn’t want the situation between the two families to become too strained, making it difficult for Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi.

"Still, when trouble arises, one should act when necessary, and there’s no need to overly conceal one’s abilities."

Lu Changsheng continued to instruct his son Lu Ping’an, concerned that he might intentionally suppress his abilities to avoid causing trouble for the family.

"Father, I understand."

Lu Ping’an responded with a broad smile.

...

After discussing with his wife, Lu Changsheng placed the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror back into the Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven, checked the situation of the Xuanwood Vine, and then spent his daily time accompanying his wives and concubines, guiding and advising his children.

Several days later, after finishing up at Bi Lake Mountain, Lu Changsheng headed for the Qingyun Sect.

On one hand, to meet Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi.

On the other hand, because Xiao Xiyue had previously sent a message to Bi Lake Mountain indicating that the Qingyun Sect Leader wanted to see him.

"Greetings, Changsheng True Master!"

"Greetings, Elder Lu!"

Arriving at the Qingyun Sect, the disciples along the way all gazed at him with eyes full of respect, admiration, and awe, bowing deeply.

The reason for such reverence wasn’t only because Lu Qingshan’s return to the family had furthered the prestige of the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, but mainly due to the beast tide at the Great Dream Marsh a year and a half ago.

The Great Dream City Lord and his wife had vanquished a Fourth Rank Demon King, and Lu Changsheng, as the Deputy City Lord, had also suppressed a Third Rank Demon King with Lu Miaoge during the battle, which became a highly talked-about topic, elevating his status and position significantly.

"Mm."

Lu Changsheng nodded gently and quickly reached the Qingyun Grand Hall, where he paid respect to the Qingyun Sect Leader.

"Changsheng True Master, please take a seat and rest. I will inform the Sect Leader immediately."

The Sect Leader’s disciple who was receiving him respectfully led Lu Changsheng to a side hall, offering tea.

Soon after, the sound of footsteps was heard.

A man in a Qingyun Taoist robe with a lean figure and a composed demeanor entered the hall, cupping his hands to say, "Changsheng True Master, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

Lu Changsheng cupped his hands in return, inquiring about the matter at hand.

"It’s nothing major. I just heard about the Great Dream Immortal City’s battle with the Fourth Rank Demon King and wanted to hear some details from you, Daoist friend."

The Qingyun Sect Leader didn’t engage in much small talk and got straight to the point.

"Sect Leader overestimates, regarding the City Lord’s defeat of the Fourth Rank Demon King, even I was shocked beyond words."

Lu Changsheng already knew what the Qingyun Sect Leader wanted to learn and shook his head with a sigh.

"You previously mentioned the Dream City Master might leave the Immortal City in the future?"

The Qingyun Sect Leader continued to inquire, trying to subtly probe Lu Changsheng about his relationship with the Great Dream Immortal City.

After all, rumors had it that Lu Changsheng’s and Lu Miaoge’s Dual Cultivation Technique was somewhat similar to the Dream City Master’s Magical Treasures.

The Dream City Master couple were also rumored to be proficient in cooperation cultivation techniques.

"As for that aspect, it is just as I mentioned to the Sect Leader earlier, though following the hunt of the Fourth Rank Demon King, the City Lord urged me to swiftly draw a Fourth Rank Talisman, showing a particular urgency in this area."

Lu Changsheng spoke seriously.

"Quickly drawing a Fourth Rank Talisman..."

Previously, if the Dream City Master requested a Fourth Rank Talisman, the Qingyun Sect Leader might have understood.

But since they possessed the means to slay a Fourth Rank Demon King, why still need a Fourth Rank Talisman?

However, thinking about the Great Dream City Master not appearing for so long after slaying a Fourth Rank Demon King, it was probably at a significant cost, which made it understandable.

He continued to ask Lu Changsheng, hoping to gather some information.

But Lu Changsheng gave ambiguous replies, leaving the Qingyun Sect Leader to ponder.

After all, speaking too plainly about certain matters could be inelegant.

"Thank you, Changsheng True Master."

A quarter of an hour later, the Qingyun Sect Leader escorted Lu Changsheng out of the hall, having acquired little useful information.

Primarily because cultivation technique inheritances are considered personal privacy among cultivators, and it was inappropriate to inquire too much.

Especially such technique inheritances involving the enigmatic Dream City Master.

"It seems this Qingyun Sect Leader values the Great Dream Immortal City even more than I imagined..."

After exiting the Qingyun Grand Hall, Lu Changsheng looked at the Qingyun Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, which shimmered with a glassy luster, and thought to himself.

Yet, it’s only normal.

With the addition of a power capable of slaying a Fourth Rank Demon King, the Qingyun Sect, as one of the Four Great Immortal Sects in Jiang Country, had to pay attention.

"I just wonder what attitude the Heavenly Sword Sect will have?"

Compared to the Qingyun Sect, the attitude of the Heavenly Sword Sect was of utmost importance.

Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on it, heading straight to Caiyun Peak, Mingyue Residence.

...

In an ancient and classically styled cave mansion, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue exchanged their longings.

Afterward!

"Xiyue, has Caiyun True Immortal gone to the Vast Sand Illusion Realm?"

Lu Changsheng, holding Xiao Xiyue’s fairy-like body, gently tucked a few strands of her silky hair that clung to her beautiful face, and thought of something, asking aloud.

Although he hadn’t seen Yun Wanshang in the Vast Sand Illusion Realm.

But seeing Xuanjian True Monarch leading several Nascent Soul cultivators made him think of Yun Wanshang.

Yun Wanshang had been searching for Nascent Soul opportunities for many years, and the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, being a Nascent Soul level Secret Realm, was probable for her to visit.

"Probably not, the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder have both tried contacting Master, but..."

Xiao Xiyue, with her hair in disarray and without her usual cold fairy demeanor, gently bit her red lips, a touch of worry in her beautiful eyes as she spoke.

"Did something happen to Caiyun True Immortal!?"

Lu Changsheng’s heart suddenly froze.

"The Master’s Soul Lamp is currently unharmed, but... the sect has been trying to contact Master for years without any response."

Xiao Xiyue, her eyes as clear and meandering as a meandering spring, glanced at Lu Changsheng, speaking softly with a somewhat low mood.

For some reason, upon hearing that Yun Wanshang was unresponsive, Lu Changsheng felt a surge of worry and heaviness.

However, seeing the unease on Xiao Xiyue’s face, he wrapped her shoulders with reassurance: "It’s okay, Caiyun True Immortal has their fortune, perhaps they obtained a Nascent Soul opportunity and are in closed-door cultivation to break through to Nascent Soul, so haven’t responded."

"Mm..."

Xiao Xiyue quietly nestled in Lu Changsheng’s arms, saying nothing, but her eyes were tinged with worry.

After all, the sect’s first attempt to contact Master was eighteen years ago.

Not only had there been no news, but three years ago, the Supreme Elder had also asked Xuanjian True Monarch to perform divination to trace Master’s whereabouts, to no avail.

But these issues involved sect secrets, which she couldn’t disclose to Lu Changsheng.

Simultaneously, outside Bi Lake Mountain.

"So, this is the Bi Lake Mountain Lu Family?"

A figure, wearing a dark mask and clad in a black cloak, seemingly blending into the shadows, looked at Bi Lake Mountain nestled against the mountain and water, whispering softly.
