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

Chapter 1650: Chapter 557:

However, Chu Qingyi took a long time to arrive, indicating that she had been quite busy recently.

"Liang Country and Yue Country have gone to war?"

Lu Changsheng inquired about the situation, receiving a shocking piece of news.

"Yes, the news just came, Liang Country has proactively declared war..."

Chu Qingyi’s expression was somewhat grave.

Although Jiang Country had long predicted that Liang Country and Yue Country would clash,

the fact that Liang Country acted so quickly was still somewhat unexpected, raising suspicions that Liang Country might have some hidden cards or confidence.

Subsequently, Chu Qingyi stated that once the war started, as the situation escalated, the demand for war supplies would greatly increase, potentially affecting Jiang Country.

Lu Changsheng, now in charge of Great Dream Immortal City, could make some preparations.

Places like Azure Phoenix Immortal City might already have forces or people with intentions starting to hoard supplies.

"Alright."

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, thinking of his children far away in Yue Country.

Once this war escalated, the Jinyang Sect, where his children were, would inevitably be drawn into it.

Due to the war situation, Lu Changsheng’s thoughts of teasing Chu Qingyi waned significantly, engaging her in conversation about serious matters, asking her opinion about his ’Core Formation’.

"Now that the war between Liang Country and Yue Country has started, our Jiang Country, being allies with Yue Country, will inevitably be affected."

"Moreover, the development war will begin in just five years, and Lu Daoist choosing to form his core at this time has both advantages and disadvantages."

"The advantage is that the influence will be reduced, and the Four Great Immortal Sects are very happy to see it, willing to step in and court."

"The disadvantage is that once the development war begins, there might be a need to contribute more."

Chu Qingyi said in a low voice.

After saying this, she added that participating in the development war wasn’t entirely a bad thing.

As long as one contributes to the war, they can exchange for many rare spiritual objects and heavenly treasures that are hard to find in normal times.

"Do you have any Coagulation Crystal Elixirs?"

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

Although he still had one Coagulation Crystal Elixir in his possession,

his wife, Lu Miaoge, used it to break through Core Formation, so it’s gone.

Great Dream Immortal City, though collecting materials for Coagulation Crystal Elixirs, couldn’t easily assemble them.

"There will be, but the conditions for exchange are very harsh."

Chu Qingyi replied.

Although Qingyun Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Spirit Taming Sect might release Coagulation Crystal Elixirs, the quantity is limited, and there are numerous restrictions.

Only the Heavenly Sword Sect might release more Coagulation Crystal Elixirs as rewards to boost morale.

"Hmm."

Lu Changsheng nodded thoughtfully, not opposed to participating in the war.

After all, when the development war starts, his family should send some disciples over.

If he broke through the Core Formation, he could also go to the frontline to monitor the situation and perhaps send some of his children for training to make a name for themselves.

Although he didn’t have much of a mindset for it, since he was here,

Lu Changsheng still shared warmth with Chu Qingyi, experiencing the tenderness of this Sword Immortal Child that seeped into the bones.

...

Several days later, Lu Changsheng parted with Chu Qingyi.

Returning to Bi Lake Mountain, Lu Changsheng informed his son, Lu Qingxuan, about the war between Liang Country and Yue Country.

He hinted that preparations could be made at home, storing some elixir medicines, puppets, talismans, and even demon beast materials, spirit rice.

However, as the news hadn’t spread widely, he advised against large-scale hoarding or stockpiling.

"Father, with Liang Country, Yue Country, and Wu Country forming a tripod power structure, why would they suddenly go to war with Yue Country?"

Lu Qingxuan, knowing some about the situations in Liang Country and Yue Country, was quite surprised.

"There’s no news on that yet, but it’s likely because Liang Country gained a Nascent Soul True Lord while Wu Country had a Nascent Soul fall."

Lu Changsheng said.

Only a Nascent Soul True Lord can influence a national war.

Previously, his son, Lu Qingshan, mentioned that Beast God Mountain seemed to have given birth to a second Nascent Soul True Lord, and Wu Country’s Nascent Soul True Lord’s lifespan was running out.

"Brother Qingshan and Sister Qingzhu are in Yue Country’s Jinyang Sect, won’t this war affect them?"

Lu Qingxuan asked with concern.

"You don’t need to worry about this."

Lu Changsheng said, planning in his heart to visit Yue Country if the time was right.

Not only to see his children but also to witness how brutal a war in the Cultivation World can be.

But now that the war has started, it might be inconvenient to fly to Yue Country on the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

...

Lu Ping’an was still in closed-door cultivation refining the Great Wilderness Dragon Spine, so Lu Changsheng rode the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to Great Dream Immortal City.

Upon returning to the Immortal City, Ling Zixiao informed him that they were already aware of the war between Liang Country and Yue Country.

The Heavenly Sword Sect sent someone to inform them immediately, asking the City Lord Mansion to control prices and store materials for alchemy, magic artifacts, and talismans, prioritizing transactions with the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded, thinking that the Heavenly Sword Sect was truly efficient.

Afterwards, Ling Zixiao shared the past half-year’s events with him, mentioning that through the Immortal City, they managed to gather many rare materials.

If in the past, the Lu Family was still lacking Foundation Establishment Elixirs,

now, with the control of Great Dream Immortal City, obtaining Foundation Establishment Elixirs and their materials is significantly less challenging.

As long as time is spent, the City Lord Mansion can also acquire Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

The same goes for the materials needed to refine Coagulation Crystal Elixirs.

However, the key main ingredient for Coagulation Crystal Elixirs is extremely rare and difficult to gather.

"Even if we have an Immortal City, acquiring rare materials still requires years, decades, or even centuries."

"Within just a few years, gathering all the materials for a Coagulation Crystal Elixir is virtually impossible, unless the old method is used — having a Third Rank Alchemist oversee it and refine the Coagulation Crystal Elixir for free."

Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.

However, Great Dream Immortal City doesn’t have such an Alchemist.

Although Hong Lian can refine Coagulation Crystal Elixirs, she hasn’t done so for many years and cannot guarantee success or multiple elixirs.

After speaking with Ling Zixiao, Lu Changsheng called over Hong Lian, Lu Miaoge, Meng Xiaochan, Bai Ling, Meng Xiaochan, and his daughters for a meal.

By Lu Miaoge’s side was a young beast resembling a small dog.

It was the spiritual pet bag Lu Changsheng had given her, now successfully hatched into a Blue Water Golden-Eyed Qilin cub.

"Changsheng..."

Lu Miaoge was a bit concerned about her children far away in Yue Country.

"Don’t worry, Qing Shan has long anticipated the war, and Little Bamboo, being in logistics, doesn’t need to go to the front lines. Besides, Tianyuan True Immortal is looking after them."

Lu Changsheng held his wife’s hand, smiling and not too worried about their children.

He then added, "If you’re still worried, Sister Miaoge, we can visit Yue Country when we have time."

With that, he picked up the Blue Water Golden-Eyed Qilin beside her.

This was the Lu Family’s first Heavenly-Rank Bloodline Spirit Beast, apart from those obtained through the system’s lottery.

"Awoo awoo—"

The Blue Water Golden-Eyed Qilin whimpered in Lu Changsheng’s hands.

"Daddy, don’t bully Little Qilin!"

Lu Linghe and Lu Baixi immediately stepped forward to rescue the Blue Water Golden-Eyed Qilin.

...

At night.

Lu Changsheng spent time with his wives in turns, especially Hong Lian.

With resources at her disposal, Hong Lian progressed astonishingly quickly.

Her cultivation level had already reached Core Formation Third Layer.

Lu Changsheng felt a bit guilty about delaying her cultivation with pregnancy.

However, Hong Lian was very proactive, even preparing several elixirs for nurturing pregnancy during this time.

The two, being Nascent Soul Cultivators, had extraordinary foundations and physiques, making conception more difficult than for ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators.

In the blink of an eye, over a month passed, and Hong Lian was still not pregnant.

On this day, Lu Changsheng took his daughters Lu Linghe and Lu Baixi out to Dragon Fish Island to see how their children were doing.

Lu Qingsong and Lu Mingfeng served as Island Masters, while Lu Qingyan was nurturing Blackwater Flood Dragon Spirit Soldiers.

As for Lu Wangshu and Lu Lingxiao, the two had gone to sea.

"Could Wangshu have gone fishing?"

Lu Changsheng speculated with suspicion.

Lu Qingyan immediately asserted that Wangshu had great luck with fishing; half a year ago, a rare Treasure Fish was caught, and not long ago, a storage bag with many rare items was fished up.

Lu Changsheng: "???"

He was speechless, then used a Sensing Talisman to find his children.

The two were not fishing but hunting Demon Beasts.

Lu Lingxiao was in front, engaging in direct combat, while Lu Wangshu stood gracefully atop a Second Rank Top Level Puppet, observing Lu Lingxiao fight and assisting with the formation.

"Brother, sister!"

Even though they were using disguise and camouflage, Lu Linghe recognized her brother, excitedly exclaiming.

"Hey, Dad, Xiao He, Xiao Xi, you’re here."

Lu Wangshu recognized them and then took action, using the puppet to swiftly and decisively finish the fight.

She then explained that they went to sea to hone Lu Lingxiao’s Dragon Seeking Technique.

After all, this technique required intercepting Spirit Veins to truly advance.

But intercepting Spirit Veins at sea was inconvenient for them; even when they managed to find one, being underwater restricted their actions.

"Dad, why don’t you lend us your spiritual pet for a while? That way, we won’t be afraid of danger."

Lu Wangshu said coquettishly.

Lu Changsheng tapped her white forehead and then personally took Lu Lingxiao for some hands-on practice.

He also gave them a Water-Repelling Pearl, guiding them through an underwater adventure.

Half a month later.

[Congratulations to the host for having a first offspring become a Second Rank Array Master, you have received a lottery opportunity!]
