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

Chapter 2224: Chapter 735: Chu Qingyi Is Pregnant (Part 2)

"I will be staying in the sect to recuperate and train in closed-door cultivation for the foreseeable future, so I won’t need these for now."

Chu Qingyi shook her head in refusal, aware that every cultivator requires elixirs and talismans to protect themselves.

"Don’t worry, I, your husband, don’t lack these. Just keep them."

Lu Changsheng understood what Chu Qingyi was thinking, and with a light laugh, he spoke generously.

Then he pointed to his storage ring, making several porcelain bottles and a pile of talismans fly out, indicating that he had plenty.

Seeing this, Chu Qingyi finally agreed to accept the elixirs and talismans.

"I still have some matters to attend to. You and Xi Yue must be very careful..."

During these times, through Chu Qingyi, Lu Changsheng became aware that the situation in the cultivation world was becoming increasingly chaotic. Currently, apart from the Nascent Soul True Lords in Liang Country and Yue Country not having made moves, all sorts of methods kept emerging.

This is precisely why Jiang Country chose to support Yue Country.

But Liang Country also enlisted considerable help.

Ming Sha True Monarch, having owed a favor to Beast God Mountain in the past, sent several Core Formation cultivators and a Third Rank Ghost King to aid Liang Country.

"Hmm, Lu... Daoist, you must also be very cautious."

Chu Qingyi knew that during the Vast Sand Illusion Realm incident, Yangming True Master and Azure Phoenix True Monarch fought fiercely against seven Nascent Soul True Lords, now attracting the attention of various forces in the Southern Wilderness, making it so that no matter what she did, she had to be careful.

After bidding farewell, Lu Changsheng flew towards the Great Dream Immortal City.

...

"Whoosh!"

Chu Qingyi transformed into a stream of sword qi, breaking through layers of air, returning to the Qingyun Sect.

Though her face was still somewhat pale and weak, her flowing white palace robe and her dignified and cold demeanor were full of the authority of a sword immortal.

"Greetings to Qingyi True Master!"

"Greetings to the Hall Master!"

The disciples of the Qingyun Sect, upon seeing the cold and aloof Chu Qingyi, besides being respectful and admiring, had expressions of undisguised amazement and admiration.

Not only Xiao Xiyue.

Chu Qingyi, as an early true inheritor of Qingyun Sect and now a Core Formation Immortal, the Enforcement Hall Master, was also secretly admired and adored by many cultivators and disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

But just like Xiao Xiyue, she had little interest in matters between men and women. As her cultivation level and status improved, she became unattainable to many cultivators.

"Hmm."

Chu Qingyi was long accustomed to this and quickly returned to her cave mansion on Caiyun Peak, quietly entering seclusion to recuperate, pondering over the "Yuan Yu Five Viscera Technique" given to her by Lu Changsheng.

This cultivation technique was extremely exquisite.

By cultivating to the Third Layer, "Five Internal Organs Returning to Origin," one could undergo a transformative purification that expanded meridians and the dantian, enhancing foundation potential.

If she breakthroughs to the Fourth Layer, it would aid her in overcoming the bottlenecks of Core Formation Late Stage.

As for reaching the Fifth Layer, unlocking one of the Five Original Divine Treasures, it could remarkably improve the probability of attaining Nascent Soul by ten percent!

"Alas..."

Thinking about how her sword technique originated from Lu Changsheng and now being given a comprehensive cultivation technique beneficial to her talent and potential for achieving Nascent Soul, Chu Qingyi lightly bit her red lips, her heart weighed down.

Her view of love involved mutual giving.

She believed that between Dao companions, there ought to be mutual support and a shared pursuit of the Great Dao.

But after being with Lu Changsheng, she found that his growth was too rapid.

Initially, she could assist him with some matters.

But as time went on, she could no longer keep up with his pace.

Especially after hearing about the events concerning Yangming True Master and Azure Phoenix True Monarch, her mood became complicated and intertwined.

Even though he always acted as if these things didn’t matter, treating her kindly as always, the more it was so, the greater the pressure on her heart.

"Alas..."

Chu Qingyi gazed at the cultivation technique in her hands in a daze for a while, let out a light sigh, dismissed the clutter in her mind, and realized that such a state was not suitable for comprehending the technique.

Several days later, when her emotions settled, as she prepared to continue pondering over the "Yuan Yu Five Viscera Technique," she suddenly felt something and furrowed her brows lightly, placing her palm on her lower abdomen.

"This..."

Chu Qingyi’s expression froze as her beautiful eyes contracted sharply, standing still as if the entire world had stopped turning.

After a long time, her beautiful eyes revealed a mix of confusion, shock, bewilderment, and joy.

Once cultivators break through Foundation Establishment and develop divine sense, they become extremely aware of their bodily condition.

So even though the qi mechanism emerging from her lower abdomen was faint, Chu Qingyi clearly realized, she was pregnant.

"I’m pregnant..."

Chu Qingyi’s lips trembled as she murmured, realizing it must have been from ten days ago, a full month’s dual cultivation with Lu Changsheng, that resulted in her conception.

But isn’t it said that dual cultivation between men and women doesn’t lead to pregnancy...

She wanted to say something, but it seemed as if her throat was constricted, unable to produce a sound.

This was overly shocking.

Her emotions felt like a peaceful lake struck by a meteor from outer space, stirring up endless waves and engulfing her whole being.

"I’m pregnant..."

Her mind was a tumultuous mess, her fair hand subconsciously caressed her flat belly, repeatedly confirming.

Although she knew Lu Changsheng loved children, she was completely unprepared to have a child.

Especially during this period, with the cultivation world in turmoil, Liang Country and Yue Country were engrossed in a heated war, Yuan Country infiltrating Wu Country, and Jiang Country drawn into the conflict.

Being pregnant now meant spending years nurturing the child and being distracted in the future.

But the child was already conceived, and she couldn’t bring herself to abort it.

After all... it was her and Lu Changsheng’s child.

After a cultivator breaks through to Core Formation, it’s difficult to get pregnant.

Especially now when Lu Changsheng is preparing for Nascent Soul.

Once he breaks through to Nascent Soul, it becomes even harder for a cultivator to conceive.

Moreover, according to the Heavenly Sword Sect, the cultivation world is only going to become more turbulent.

If one wishes to get pregnant, now might still be a relatively good time.

"Child..."

After a moment of shock and complex emotions, Chu Qingyi looked at her abdomen, a feeling of closeness and anticipation surged in her heart.

Seeing her junior sister and Lu Changsheng become Dao companions and with Lu Wangshu as their child, she couldn’t say she felt nothing.

Especially with the cultivation world’s tradition of inheritance.

She was adopted in childhood by her master and brought to Qingyun Sect, which was a form of inheritance.

Now... she also wished to shoulder a responsibility of inheritance.

But as the thought emerged, a wave of nervousness and anxiety flooded her heart.

Being severely injured now and physically weak, she worried if it would affect the fetus.

How would she face her junior sister, and explain to her master if the child was born?

For a moment, Chu Qingyi’s thoughts were in turmoil.

...

Lu Changsheng returned to Great Dream Immortal City and spoke with Hong Lian about Ying’er, stating that he was planning to continue to Starry Sky Sea.

"This matter is simple, since the Nether Moon Saintess won’t be coming to Jiang Country and Beast God Mountain is too preoccupied, husband only needs to let ’Ying’er’ enter a life-threatening state."

"In this way, the Nether Moon Saintess will see Ying’er’s condition through the soul lamp and merely think she encountered some life danger and couldn’t return."

Upon hearing about Ying’er and Beast God Mountain, Hong Lian elegantly stated.

"Life-threatening?"

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, knowing most factions would upgrade the Soul Plate to a Soul Lamp for Nascent Soul level cultivators.

This way, the situation of the individual can be gleaned from the soul fire.

"Wouldn’t this be too dangerous..."

Even though he knew of some fake death secret techniques, they couldn’t deceive the soul lamp.

"I possess such a secret technique; as long as Beast God Mountain’s isn’t the highest grade soul lamp or Life Soul Map, it can be concealed."

Hong Lian, in her past life as a Nascent Soul True Lord, might not have had cultivation techniques as advanced as Lu Changsheng’s, but in terms of functionality, they were quite impressive.

"Alright, in that case, I’ll send word for Ying’er to come to Great Dream Immortal City, and you make the arrangements."

Lu Changsheng said happily, knowing Hong Lian had a high chance of success given her claim.

Moreover, according to Ying’er, she was merely a trusted aide to the Nether Moon Saintess.

With a Core Formation Third Layer cultivation level, she was already squeezing her life potential, unlikely to have the great fortune needed to break through to Core Formation Middle Stage.

For such a trusted aide, Beast God Mountain wouldn’t equip her with the highest grade soul lamp, nor the Life Soul Map used by Fourth Rank Nascent Soul cultivators!

"Husband, rest assured."

Hong Lian said charmingly.

With a Spirit Embryo Physique and controlling Great Dream Immortal City, coupled with the numerous resources provided by Lu Changsheng, her cultivation was progressing rapidly.

In just forty-six years, she had cultivated from recreating her physical body to the Eighth Level of Core Formation.

Equipped with various divine secret skills from her previous life and a Nascent Soul level soul, unless faced with a Nascent Soul Cultivator, she was unafraid even if confronted by a peak Core Formation cultivator.

"Hmm."

Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile, embracing his wife’s Divine Maiden Jade Body, fully confident in her and Ling Zixiao’s handling of matters.

Recalling the Tihun Beast still asleep and his son Lu Quanzhen likely with the Kunpeng Egg, even if there were clues or news, he might not find them, so Lu Changsheng brought the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror].

Besides searching for his son, he wished to contend with Nascent Soul cultivators for the Kunpeng Egg, and the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror could be of great help.

After having arranged everything, Lu Changsheng then rode the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale and continued his journey to the Starry Sky Sea.
