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

Xiao Xiyue pursed her lips as she spoke.

She too felt somewhat apprehensive in her heart.

Worrying that Lu Changsheng would ask her to stay.

Fearful that under Lu Changsheng’s persuasion, she would find it hard to cut through her emotional ties, to ascending beyond all affections.

In this year of cultivation,

she had realized that she had less of the stubborn obsession for breakthroughs.

She had begun to grow more sentimental, prone to daydreaming.

In Lu Changsheng’s presence, she would feel joy, worry, sadness, grief, and affection.

This had helped her thoroughly comprehend her emotional tribulation, to understand the concept of transcending all emotions.

What she needed to do now was to unsheathe her sword and sever her ties, to seek the path to the ultimate truth beyond the seven emotions and six desires.

“Xi Yue, where do you plan to go for your Foundation Establishment?”

Lu Changsheng asked aloud.

Foundation Establishment couldn’t be attempted just anywhere.

At the very least, one would need a Second Grade Spiritual Vein with an abundance of Spiritual Energy.

Since he had always concealed his true cultivation level and strength, it was inconvenient for him to undertake Foundation Establishment in the Red Leaf Valley Market.

Moreover, the cave dwellings in the Red Leaf Valley Market only held inferior Second Grade Spiritual Energy.

This Spiritual Energy was only sufficient for cultivation practice. To attempt a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, it was significantly lacking.

Furthermore, the breakthrough to Foundation Establishment involved a large disturbance, which could affect the marketplace’s natural spiritual energy.

Most marketplaces would not readily agree to host someone’s attempt to break through to Foundation Establishment.

“Previously, my master gave me a token so that I can go to Qingyun Market and rent a Second-Order top-quality Cave Mansion.”

“A Second-Order top-quality Cave Mansion is more than enough for us to attempt Foundation Establishment,”

Xiao Xiyue told Lu Changsheng.

She had already considered this matter thoroughly beforehand.

For her own Foundation Establishment, she could return to Qingyun Sect, where there was a Third Grade Spiritual Vein.

But Lu Changsheng was not a disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

He couldn’t go there for his Foundation Establishment.

For ordinary cultivators looking to rent a Second-Order top-quality Spiritual Vein dwelling, the only option would be to go to one of the Three Great Immortal Cities.

However, the Three Great Immortal Cities were far away and exceedingly troublesome to reach.

Thus, she considered the largest cultivation marketplace under the Qingyun Sect.

“Alright, then we shall head to the Qingyun Market,”

Lu Changsheng nodded as he heard this.

He too had heard of the Qingyun Market.

He knew it was the largest marketplace under the Qingyun Sect.

It was even larger than the Nine Dragons Market where he had been before.

Such marketplaces typically do not open their Second-Order dwellings to the public.

If it were not for Xiao Xiyue, he would indeed have no way to rent such a top-quality Second-Order Cave Mansion; he might have had to go to an Immortal City to undertake his Foundation Establishment.

Shortly after, the two of them left the secular world behind and set out towards the Qingyun Market.

Lu Changsheng glanced at the map; from their location to the Qingyun Market was a journey of over ten thousand miles.

However, neither he nor Xiao Xiyue were in a rush.

They continued on, enjoying their journey as if they were sightseeing or on a leisurely outing.

When nearing the Qingyun Market, the two of them, having disguised their appearance and concealed their cultivation aura, even ran into three Robber Cultivators.

But these were only three Energy Refinement Late Stage Robber Cultivators.

Facing these three Robber Cultivators, Lu Changsheng naturally showed no mercy, earning a little extra on the side.

Now at the peak of Qi Refinement, his strength was comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Together with Xiao Xiyue, as long as they didn’t encounter a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they generally wouldn’t run into any trouble.

Besides, as long as they didn’t come across Foundation Establishment Cultivators like the red-robed youth they had encountered before, they could take down an average Foundation Establishment Cultivator with their full strength and techniques.

After a month’s time, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue arrived at the Qingyun Market.

The entire marketplace was centered around a precipitous mountain, surrounded by mist, reaching high into the clouds.

The mountain was encircled by a basin-like area, bordered by several large mountains, making it inaccessible to ordinary people.

“Qingyun Market.”

Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng looked at the distant peak, steering their Flying Artifact towards the marketplace entrance.

The entrance was bustling with countless Cultivators, much like the Nine Dragons Market, with an endless stream of people queuing up.

Just then, a surge of Spiritual Power flowed into Lu Changsheng’s body.

Accompanied by the sound of a system notification.

[Congratulations to the host, your first offspring has completed the beginning phases of cultivation, entering the path of immortality. Bloodline Effect: 5% increase in the likelihood of offspring having a Spiritual Root. Plus, one lucky draw chance!]

“Hmm? My first offspring has started his cultivation journey,”

Lu Changsheng was slightly startled upon hearing this sudden system notification before it dawned on him that his son, Lu Xianzhi, had completed the initial phase of cultivation.

The last time he returned to Qingzhu Mountain, his wife Lu Miaoyun had mentioned that Lu Xianzhi was ready to start cultivating.

At that time, Lu Changsheng didn’t have the time, so he left Lu Miaoyun to handle it.

As for his son completing the initial phase of cultivation so quickly, Lu Changsheng wasn’t surprised.

Over the years, he hadn’t visited the White Jade Tower, and aside from his own cultivation expenses, his biggest expenditure was on his children.

For Lu Xianzhi, everything had been of the spiritual kind since childhood—eating Spirit Rice, taking Spirit Meals. At the age of six, he even began spending Spirit Stones to buy Elixir Medicines that consolidated and nourished the foundation.

His conditions were far more privileged than those of the Lu Family’s ordinary descendants.

If his son had taken as long as he, the father, had—ten months—to complete the initial phase of cultivation, that indeed would have been strange.

“I didn’t expect that the start of my child’s cultivation journey would not only entitle me to a lucky draw but also increase the chances of my future offspring having a Spiritual Root,”

“Although only by five percent, which is a bit little,”

“But this probability can probably still be increased,”

Lu Changsheng mused as he looked at the system notification.

He wasn’t overly excited about the lottery draw as he had done it many times before.

However, he did find the passive increase in his offspring’s likelihood of having a Spiritual Root appealing.

After all, even with selective breeding, the chances of his children possessing a Spiritual Root were not especially high.
