Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1848: 476: Fivefold Tribulation Transformation, Spirit Origin Stone!

Upon organizing his gains, Lu Changsheng made his way back to the City Lord Mansion.
"Lu Lang, you've returned!"
"Brother..."
"Daddy, Dad..."
Within the backyard, Meng Xiaochan, Bai Ling, and Bing’er engaged in conversation with Lu Baixi, Lu Mengchan, and Lu Minghuang. The moment they spotted Lu Changsheng, joyful cries erupted as they dashed toward him, flocking into his arms like eager swallows.
"Little Chan, Ling’er, Bing’er..."
A wide smile spread across Lu Changsheng’s face as he enveloped the three young women in his embrace, then let Bing’er cling to his arm. His gaze shifted to Lu Baixi, Lu Mengchan, and Lu Minghuang.
Since his departure, the aura around his daughter Lu Baixi had grown stronger, indicating her advancement to the mid-stage of the Second Rank.
Her progress in cultivation appeared rather ordinary at first glance.
Yet, given that her path mirrored that of a demon beast, involving both magical and beast dual cultivation, it was truly remarkable.
In truth, the True Spirit Bloodline she possessed, combined with the solid foundation built in her womb, enabled swift breakthroughs up to a particular level.
His daughter Lu Mengchan had reached the peak of Qi Refining in her cultivation.
Over the span of eight years, advancing from initial Qi channeling into the body to the pinnacle of Qi Refining marked an impressive pace.
Nevertheless, considering her Calamitous Poison Body and the heritage from parents like Lu Changsheng and Meng Xiaochan, such speed was merely passable.
Meng Xiaochan, however, preferred not to hasten things and wished for her daughter to fully grasp and solidify the "Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Secret Scripture" prior to any further progress.
Without that, relying on her innate gifts and the Lu Family’s resources, breakthroughs could happen effortlessly at any moment.
Regarding his son Lu Minghuang, his level remained modest, sitting at the Third Level of Energy Refinement.
This came as no surprise.
About two and a half years prior, Lu Changsheng had tailored a magical treasure specifically for him, which finally allowed him to begin practicing the "Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinement Technique."
This method proved deeply intricate and challenging to master, making early hurdles inevitable. Since Lu Changsheng couldn’t offer constant instruction, Meng Xiaochan stepped in to guide him.
Settling down alongside his wives and children, Lu Changsheng inquired about their recent discussions and overall well-being.
"Xiao Xi has missed you terribly each day, husband."
Lu Baixi often faced cultivation dilemmas that only Lu Changsheng or Hong Lian could resolve.
Yet, with Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian frequently absent, she turned to Meng Xiaochan for advice and constantly longed for her father.
"If Xiao Xi encounters any cultivation queries, Father will guide you personally afterward."
Gazing at his daughter, who retained the appearance of an eleven- or twelve-year-old, Lu Changsheng offered a gentle smile while stroking her hair. He intended to assign the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to accompany her soon.
In the coming days, he wouldn’t require the Golden Peng’s assistance much.
Moreover, after devouring the Nascent Soul Spirit Body of the purple-robed elder, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng needed a period to digest and refine its power, which could also serve to watch over the child.
"Do Mengmeng or Minghuang face any cultivation difficulties?"
Ensuring fairness among his offspring, Lu Changsheng checked on the progress of his daughter Lu Mengchan and son Lu Minghuang.
"Uh, no."
Lu Mengchan nibbled on her slender white finger, contemplating briefly before shaking her head. Her refined and lovely features radiated a shy allure that stirred warmth in the heart.
"No."
Lu Minghuang, seated nearby, echoed her by shaking his head as well.
At present, his focus centered on basic energy refinement.
This stage rarely presented complex issues or doubts, all of which Meng Xiaochan could easily address.
Only as his level advanced would the auxiliary secret arts, spells, and artifact-forging skills pose real tests, demanding substantial dedication and time.
"Alright, feel free to approach Father with any questions you might have."
Lu Changsheng spoke with affectionate warmth before inquiring about Xiao He.
After all, his daughter Lu Linghe seldom parted from Lu Baixi and Lu Mengchan.
"Xiao He headed to Dragon Fish Island."
Bai Ling replied without delay, noting that Xiao He showed keen interest in raising the Black Dragon Daoist Soldiers and had lately been accompanying Lu Qingyan.
"Mm, and what of Ling Xiao and Wangshu?"
Lu Changsheng nodded, intending to bring his son Lu Ping’an to visit his daughter shortly and present her with the Shariputra.
He asked after Lu Lingxiao, Lu Wangshu, and the rest, then ceased his questions, savoring the rare peace and joy shared with his family.
...
Aware of Lu Changsheng’s frequent thoughts about his eldest brother, Ling Zixiao promptly messaged to have Lu Wangshu escort her back.
"Daddy!"
Lu Linghe, clad in a form-fitting red skirt with her dark hair pulled into a high ponytail, cried out in delight.
Though Ling Zixiao viewed her daughter’s perpetual bliss as somewhat naive, Lu Changsheng adored this simple joy in his child. Her presence always brightened his mood, her cheer spreading like wildfire.
"Little He."
Lu Changsheng approached to caress his daughter’s cheek, eager to hand over the Shariputra.
However, upon noticing his daughter Lu Wangshu in her elegant pink-and-white gown, exuding grace and stunning beauty that outshone all, especially beside her sisters, he restrained himself, opting to gift it privately later.
Gifting such an item would, after all, deplete his resources.
The Shariputra ranked as a precious relic, and he possessed only a limited number of such elite presents for his children.
Before long, Lu Changsheng summoned Lu Ping’an, announcing a family gathering.
"Big brother!"
Lu Linghe beamed upon seeing Lu Ping’an.
Their bond ran deep; they trained in martial arts and boxing side by side, and in her younger days, she’d ride atop his shoulders.
His absences left her yearning for him.
"Little He."
Lu Ping’an cherished his spirited and joyful sister too, his strong yet soft hand tousling her locks before he addressed Lu Wangshu: "Wangshu, Lingxiao."
"Brother."
Lu Wangshu grinned, wondering aloud why Lu Ping’an’s journey had stretched on so long.
"Well, I ran into a few matters and ended up journeying farther than planned."
Lu Ping’an replied sheepishly, then glanced toward Lu Mengchan and the others.
Still, familiarity eluded him with them.
Lu Changsheng facilitated introductions among the siblings.
"Big brother."
The younger ones greeted him promptly.
"First time meeting—here’s a small token from your big brother."
Lu Ping’an swiftly retrieved various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures from his Storage Ring, distributing them to the children.
