Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1762: 448: Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill, Dragon and Tiger Fighting Technique!

Lu Changsheng presented the Earth Dragon Heart to the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, instructing the beast to transport it to the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale. With that task finished, the family made their way back to Dragon Fish Island, enjoying a lighthearted conversation along the way.

As Ling Zixiao prepared to enter a period of secluded cultivation for her upcoming Core Formation, she transferred the management of the Immortal City to Lu Lingxiao. Recognizing that Lu Lingxiao still lacked sufficient experience for such a heavy responsibility, Lu Changsheng considered his other son, Lu Qingsong.

Despite having only average talent, Lu Qingsong possessed practical administrative experience from his time at White Tiger Mountain and Dragon Fish Island. Lu Changsheng figured he could assist his brother, allowing them to tackle the task as a team.

For the time being, there were enough other Lu Family disciples stationed there to maintain operations on Dragon Fish Island.

"Steward of the Immortal City?"

Lu Qingsong felt a surge of anxiety when he learned his father wanted him to serve as a steward in Great Dream Immortal City.

It was, after all, Great Dream Immortal City—one of the prestigious Three Great Immortal Cities within Jiang Country.

"It is merely a trial to see if the role suits you,"

Lu Changsheng remarked with a warm smile. He then shifted his gaze to his daughter, Lu Wangshu, inquiring if she had any interest in the position.

"I have no desire to cause trouble for the Immortal City," Lu Wangshu replied, shaking her head decisively.

Aside from her personal pursuits, she never went looking for conflict and found such administrative chores utterly uninteresting.

Lu Changsheng did not press the matter further, instead focusing his efforts on mentoring his children in their Cultivation.

His attention was particularly fixed on Lu Wangshu.

Even though she had successfully reached the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment, he noticed her progress in the Talisman Path had stagnated, as if she had been neglecting it.

"Father, you must understand that with my current Cultivation level and divine sense, crafting Third Rank Talismans is incredibly draining. If I dedicate all my time to that, my actual Cultivation progress will suffer," Lu Wangshu explained.

It wasn't a lack of effort on her part; rather, the pressure exerted by her younger brother, Lu Lingxiao, was becoming immense.

In the past, Lu Lingxiao’s realm was behind hers. Now, however, he had reached the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment and was on the verge of the Ninth Layer. He was only holding back to ensure his foundation was flawless before breaking through on his own strength.

She feared that if she spent too much energy on talisman crafting and auxiliary skills, she might remain stuck at the Sixth Layer while Lu Lingxiao surged ahead to the Ninth.

"Your path of Cultivation is distinct from Xiao’er’s; there is no reason to measure yourself against him."

Knowing his daughter's temperament well, Lu Changsheng spoke softly while patting her head.

"I’m not trying to compete! I’m just practicing normally!"

Lu Wangshu pouted, trying to maintain her pride as the elder sister.

Currently, she could still hold her own against Lu Lingxiao thanks to the [Profound Origin Bead].

However, once Lu Lingxiao achieved Core Formation, they would exist in entirely different realms of power.

"Very well, very well,"

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly with affection. "Continue your Cultivation at your own pace. Later, I will assist you by refining several Fourth Rank Talismans to help nourish your Life-bound Divine Talisman."

The "Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture" is centered entirely on the art of talismans. When Lu Wangshu eventually aims for Core Formation, she won't be able to achieve it through a sudden burst of effort like Lu Qingshan or Lu Lingxiao.

She would need to solidify her Dao Foundation by condensing a vast array of spiritual patterns from the Talisman Path, preparing her Life-bound Divine Talisman for the transition—a process that requires significant time.

To prevent a scenario where Lu Lingxiao had been a Core Formation expert for decades while his daughter was still preparing, Lu Changsheng intended to nurture specific spirit talismans that would bolster her practice.

"Hee hee, thank you, Father!"

Lu Wangshu’s face lit up with a brilliant smile. She thanked her father with the same enthusiasm she had as a young child, though she then asked with a hint of doubt: "Father, are you actually capable of producing Fourth Rank Talismans now?"

"Not quite yet, but I can use the Talisman Nurturing Method from the "Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture" to elevate them. I also recently acquired some Fourth Rank materials, so I can try to cultivate a few."

Lu Changsheng explained with a calm smile.

Evolving a talisman to the Fourth Rank was a grueling task. Even when he had received materials from the Azure Phoenix True Monarch, he had only managed to successfully nurture two of them.

This success was largely due to his Chaos Body, which carried the traits of the Blood Talisman Spiritual Body, greatly increasing his efficiency. Without it, the process could take years for a single talisman.

"Father, you work so hard!"

Lu Wangshu immediately put on an adorable expression, stepping behind her father to massage his shoulders in a show of daughterly devotion.

Nearby, Lu Lingxiao’s expression twitched as he watched his sister’s performance.

Only in their father's presence did Lu Wangshu ever act this way.

To the outside world, she was a distant and ethereal Fairy; to him, she was a fickle and bossy older sister.

"A Fourth Rank Talisman! Father, I’ve never even laid eyes on one. Please let me see it too!"

Lu Qingshan, who had been talking with his sister Lu Qingzhu, rushed over the moment he overheard.

"..."

Lu Qingsong stared at his boastful brother, feeling completely stunned.

What happened to the image of the peerless Sword Immortal?

Was this really him?

"Why does a Sword Cultivator need a Talisman? Dedicate your time to understanding the Sword Dao instead. If you have questions, you may ask me later."

Lu Changsheng handed the Great Luo Sword Embryo to his son, signaling for him to stop pestering him.

"Father, it’s not just me. Little Bamboo hasn't seen one either, right, Little Bamboo?"

Lu Qingshan persisted, clutching the sword embryo tightly.

A Fourth Rank Talisman was no small matter!

In the world of Cultivation, there was an unspoken rule: Nascent Soul True Lords served as deterrents to one another and rarely intervened against lower-level cultivators. With a Fourth Rank Talisman in hand, he could fight without fear, potentially even standing his ground against Late Stage Core Formation experts.

"Father, ignore my brother's nonsense,"

Lu Qingzhu said, refusing to support her brother’s antics while giving him a pointed look.

While Lu Changsheng wouldn't mind gifting his son such a treasure eventually, he wasn't going to do it now. He teased with a grin, "Don't worry, I'll show it to Little Bamboo later."

...

After providing guidance to Lu Wangshu and the others, Lu Changsheng departed from Dragon Fish Island. He visited Red Carp Island and Green Carp Island to inspect the progress of the Lu Family disciples stationed there.

By now, the Lu Family had established a presence of twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators within the Great Dream Marsh.

Beyond the second generation, many members of the third and fourth generations had also begun to arrive and settle in the region.
