Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1875: 485: Encounter with the Shadow Sect Again, Whalebone Banquet!
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
The incarnation of the Three Treasures set out to see his daughter Lu Wangshu, as the rest of his kids lingered near his primary form, talking animatedly with Hong Lian and Ling Zixiao.
Right then, Lu Changsheng abruptly recalled that amid his advance to Fourth Rank Body Refinement, ten descendants in his household had attained Foundation Establishment, unlocking a lottery draw for him. Quietly in his thoughts, he uttered: "System, draw."
[Ding! Congratulations host for getting a Magical Treasure: Bi Luo Jade Light Fan!]
[Reward has been delivered to the System Space, host can check it at any time]
A striking fan resembling a peacock's tail, glowing with profound azure sheen, materialized on the lottery wheel.
Lu Changsheng cast a quick look at it.
Middle Grade Magical Treasure.
When unleashed, it unleashes Bi Luo Jade Light to blind foes' souls, or summons Bi Luo Heavenly Wind to flay enemies' bodies, or enables swift getaway via wind escape.
Without doubt, it ranks as an elite Magical Treasure.
Yet for Lu Changsheng, that was all it amounted to.These days, a standard lottery pull only thrilled him if fortune smiled extraordinarily with a supreme Exotic Treasure or rare Heavenly and Earthly Treasures; beyond that, Cultivation Techniques aside, other skills, Magical Treasures, and Elixirs held no value for him anymore.
"Time truly races ahead."
Gazing at the [Bi Luo Jade Light Fan] stored in the System Space, Lu Changsheng felt a wave of nostalgia.
He could still vividly recall his early days on the cultivation road, when acquiring a Magical Treasure meant letting it idle unused, its power instead fueling his practice of the "Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art."
Almost a century later, such items now seemed trivial, shatterable by a single fist, serving merely as aids for his spouses and offspring.
In the meantime, the Three Treasures Incarnation reached the modest courtyard of his daughter Lu Wangshu.
A youthful lady clad in a skirt of pink and white, her face finely sculpted like fine artwork, sat idly with her chin propped up, idly twirling a Talisman Brush.
The Third Rank Talisman Brush, shimmering in platinum hues, danced nimbly between her graceful fingers, much like a fluttering butterfly.
Spotting the Three Treasures Incarnation in his emerald robe, her eyes lit up with delight, and she cried out happily: "Dad, you've finished your tasks!"
"Mm."
Since Great Dream Immortal City fell under Lu Changsheng's Divine Sense coverage, the Three Treasures Incarnation operated just like his true body—merely handling multiple things at once.
He extended a hand to gently stroke his daughter's silky, gem-like forehead, remarking: "I told you to focus on spirit talismans and spiritual patterns while at home, so why do you keep zoning out like this."
"Hmph, I was simply fretting over you!"
Lu Wangshu scrunched her nose, shooting her father a mildly irritated glance, before she pressed seriously: "Dad, did you truly overcome that Nascent Soul True Lord?"
"What Nascent Soul True Lord?"
Lu Changsheng pretended not to know.
"Don't fool me, I've heard the tales already—recently, the Vast Sand Illusion Realm appeared...."
Lu Wangshu rose with elegant poise, her refined chin shaped like a slim moon, lifted a touch, evoking the proud grace of a regal swan.
"What does True Master Yangming beating a Nascent Soul True Lord have to do with me? Get back to your talisman work."
Lu Changsheng stated plainly, then examined his daughter's grasp of the "Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture" and Third Rank Talismans.
Noting her persistent inquisitive expression, he promised to share details only if she succeeded.
Indeed, Lu Wangshu's aptitude in the Talisman Path had always proven reliable without fail.
Were it not for her current cultivation stage, she could effortlessly craft a Third Rank Middle Grade Talisman.
Moreover, her insight into the eighty-one special spiritual patterns from the "Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture" had advanced to Core Formation standards.
Her immediate goal was to push her realm swiftly to Foundation Establishment Peak, setting the stage for forging the Immortal Golden Core.
Under typical conditions, her Spiritual Root aptitude, bolstered by the Blood Talisman Spiritual Body and "Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture," still rendered the Immortal Golden Core a tough feat.
However, armed with the Coagulation Crystal Elixir, Five Elements Spirit Fruit, and assorted Heavenly and Earthly Treasures Lu Changsheng had gathered, success was assured with some extra effort and time.
"Dad, how was my performance?"
After succeeding, Lu Wangshu's lovely features bloomed into a captivating, assured grin, a few loose strands of hair draping coyly over her brow, lending an extra spark of vitality.
"Excellent, excellent—my little Wangshu fairy is the brightest of them all."
Lu Changsheng replied with a warm smile.
"Dad, you keep seeing me as a kid."
Lu Wangshu huffed lightly in frustration, then inquired about the events in the Vast Sand Illusion Realm.
Though as his child, she knew better than to pry deeply into her father's affairs,
learning he had braved mortal peril for some outsider woman left her uneasy and distressed, compelling her to voice her worries.
"The Secret Realm held little challenge; I detected your brother in peril and stumbled into the Vast Sand Illusion Realm by chance, forcing me to intervene."
Lu Changsheng, sensing his daughter's true concerns, explained in a gentle tone.
"Brother?"
Sudden realization dawned on Lu Wangshu, connecting the dots about that incident.
With the full picture clear and confirmation her father had escaped grave harm unlike the rumors, relief washed over her, leading her to probe further: "So, what's the story with Azure Phoenix True Monarch?"
"In the Secret Realm, she aided me, and since I bear grudges against Ming Sha True Monarch and Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, helping her was the obvious choice."
Lu Changsheng lightly tapped his daughter's sleek forehead, signaling that such grown-up issues were beyond her young worries.
"I told you, stop poking my head."
Lu Wangshu whined playfully, then questioned her father about any fitting treasures he acquired this round, and whether he'd deliver on that promised Fourth Rank talisman.
Lu Lingxiao, immersed in cultivation within the Immortal City over recent years, never wanted for supplies, and under Hong Lian's tutelage, advanced swiftly, nearing Foundation Establishment Peak.
Even accounting for the need to build a solid base for Core Formation over several years of consolidation, she'd shatter into Core Formation in no more than a decade.
While Lu Wangshu had poured her efforts into the Talisman Path lately, capping at Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer Peak, Core Formation felt far off.
"It's merely that I'm swamped right now. On this trip, your father secured plenty of Fourth-tier resources, enough to forge a fitting Fourth Rank Spirit Talisman just for you—though you'll need to hold on a little longer."
