Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1800: 459: Return to Yue Country, Endless Wilderness!

Lu Changsheng stepped out from his cave mansion several days later, his spirit radiating vitality.
The fusion of his Chaos Body and Primordial Yang Body had significantly bolstered his Primordial Yang Essence, which offered distinct advantages during dual cultivation.
While the personal benefits to Lu Changsheng were modest, the impact on his wives’ cultivation was substantial. This was particularly vital for someone like him, who maintained a large number of wives and concubines.
Despite possessing an extraordinary physical form, his Primordial Yang Essence was not inexhaustible; it required periods of rest to fully replenish.
Lu Changsheng eventually sought out his wife, Lu Miaoge.
At present, the cave mansion in Great Dream Immortal City felt somewhat crowded, as Lu Qingshan, Lu Miaoge, Meng Xiaochan, Nangong Mili, Hong Lian, and others were all staying there together.
Because of this, Lu Changsheng preferred that Lu Miaoge remain at Bi Lake Mountain to cultivate, ensuring the family could react swiftly to any emergencies.
"Dad, the Liangyue War is likely to commence shortly after the Vast Sand Illusion Realm ends, so I intend to head back with Little Bamboo," Lu Qingshan remarked upon seeing his father. Lu Qingzhu was also by his side.
Since he had recently achieved Core Formation and lacked specific Sect assignments, he could theoretically remain away for years without issue.
However, as a core genius of the Sect, his absence during the outbreak of war might be perceived as cowardice or desertion.
Moreover, he viewed the upcoming conflict as a chance to distinguish himself and secure additional cultivation resources.
"I have business in Yue Country as well, so I will travel with you," Lu Changsheng replied, making no attempt to detain them.
As he spoke, he passed the Great Luo Sword Embryo over to Lu Qingshan.
With his son back, he could use the artifact to deepen his insights. Lu Changsheng had previously taken the sword embryo back while planning to search for Lu Ping’an, but now that he had a moment of respite, he allowed his son to resume his study of it.
"Is this regarding Eldest Brother?" Lu Qingshan asked, his brow furrowing as he accepted the sword embryo.
He was well aware that his father would have departed long ago if the beast tide hadn't delayed him.
"It is," Lu Changsheng confirmed with a nod.
Lu Miaoge, who was in the dark regarding Lu Ping’an’s situation, asked with a look of worry, "Changsheng, has something happened to Ping’an?"
"It seems Ping’an has run into some trouble and has failed to return. I’m going to go look for him," Lu Changsheng explained to his wife.
Lu Miaoge suddenly remembered that just before the beast tide, Lu Changsheng had visited Bi Lake Mountain specifically to retrieve the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror. She now understood it was for the sake of finding Lu Ping’an.
After giving instructions to his various wives, Lu Changsheng shared the "Five Internal Organs Returning to Origin Mantra," offering guidance to Lu Lingxiao and Lu Wangshu.
He told them to share the technique with the others later. Then, he departed for Bi Lake Mountain, taking Lu Miaoge, Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, and Lu Qingqi along with him.
...
Nine days passed.
Bi Lake Mountain.
"Dad, your mount is incredibly swift!"
Lu Qingshan was left in awe after witnessing the speed of the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng. He began to consider finding a flying mount for himself.
Though reaching the Core Formation stage allowed him to travel quickly by Controlling Divine Rainbow, maintaining such high speeds drained a significant amount of mana.
Long-distance travel through the Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer or crossing a Spiritless Land usually required frequent stops to recover. A high-grade flying mount, however, provided both comfort and efficiency.
"We have a golden-scaled flood dragon hatchling at home. You can take it if you like," Lu Changsheng offered. He had won the creature previously and left it in Lu Miaoyun’s care, but he was happy to give it to Lu Qingshan.
The flood dragon’s gold attribute was a perfect match for Lu Qingshan’s Gengjin Body Constitution.
"If it’s just a hatchling, I’ll pass. I don't have the patience for the long years of nurturing it requires," Lu Qingshan replied.
Knowing the beast had a powerful bloodline, he understood that raising it properly would take immense dedication. He didn't want to fail and lose face before his father when asking for future treasures.
Lu Changsheng took a few days to rest at home before setting off for Yue Country with Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu.
During the journey, Lu Changsheng placed Lu Qingshan inside the Treasure Emperor Lotus so he could focus on the Great Luo Sword Embryo. Meanwhile, he spent time teaching Lu Qingzhu the "Five Internal Organs Returning to Origin Mantra."
Because her Spiritual Root talent was lacking, mastering the third layer of this technique and achieving the Five Internal Organs Returning to Origin state would transform her. It would make reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment a much simpler task.
Furthermore, Lu Changsheng provided her with various Earthly Treasures, Third Rank Talismans, and one of the Third Rank Puppets he had taken from Tu Yuan. These would serve as her protection.
With these items, she would be safe from almost anything except the direct intervention of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"Dad..."
Lu Qingzhu was far more reserved than Lu Qingshan. Seeing her father bestow so many treasures upon her, she instinctively tried to decline.
"Don't worry, just keep them," Lu Changsheng insisted.
He felt a pang of guilt toward this daughter. She had always been obedient, following him between Qingzhu Mountain and the Red Leaf Valley Market since she was a child. He wished he could do even more for her.
"If you ever feel homesick, just send a message, and I will come to bring you home," Lu Changsheng said warmly, stroking her hair.
...
As they journeyed, Lu Changsheng stopped at Azure Phoenix Immortal City to call for his son, Lu Qingxuan, allowing the siblings a brief reunion.
While speaking with Lu Qingxuan, Lu Changsheng heard that the Azure Phoenix True Monarch had likely gone to the Vast Sand Illusion Realm. However, it was unclear if the realm had already opened or finished.
Such high-level secret realms were usually only accessible to Nascent Soul Cultivators. Those outside the major Sects typically had to wait for news to filter out slowly.
Lu Changsheng didn't dwell on it. He checked on his son’s progress and passed him the jade slip for the "Five Internal Organs Returning to Origin Mantra," telling him to share it with the other children later.
"Understood, Father," Lu Qingxuan said, bowing as he took the slip.
Rather than staying to oversee his training, Lu Changsheng encouraged him to discuss the methods with his siblings. Soon after, he resumed the trip to Yue Country with Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu.
