Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1876: 485: Shadow Sect Returns, Whale Hunt Banquet! (part 2)

Even though Lu Changsheng obtained a handful of Fourth Rank Talismans from Lou Mountain True Monarch and the remaining pair.

Yet, not every one of those Talismans proves capable of fostering Lu Wangshu’s Life-bound Divine Talisman.

To achieve that, he must first transform his Yin Yang Magic Power into the essence of the "Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture", before sketching and forming the precise Talismans based on her current needs.

Regarding additional Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, plenty exist in his possession, though none appear especially fitting for his daughter.

Still, with his daughter gazing at him in a begging manner full of sorrow, he turned over his hand, revealing ten Superior Grade Spirit Stones.

The plentiful rewards from venturing into this Secret Realm had rendered Lu Changsheng far more open-handed than before.

Chief among them is the Storage Bag belonging to the Three Treasures Incarnation, which holds scant Heavenly and Earthly Treasures—merely a collection of ordinary resources.

"Thank you, father!"

At the sight, Lu Wangshu’s eyes bent into joyful crescents as her features lit up in a radiant grin reminiscent of blooming spring blossoms, dimples faintly etching her cheeks, evoking the image of a lighthearted and mischievous young lady, with no remnant of her earlier forlorn and distressed demeanor.

Time flew by, and ten days elapsed in an instant.

The Whale Hunting Banquet commenced.

Originally, Lu Changsheng had planned a modest gathering to signal his stance, followed by a simple trade fair.

Yet, given that this marked his debut as the Great Dream City Lord in the eyes of the public, Ling Zixiao arranged everything on a lavish scale.

Over a year prior, a group of skilled Spirit Chefs had been summoned to prepare dishes centered on the flesh of the Third Rank Demon King and the Fourth-Order Void Kun.

The beverages consisted of the near-Fourth Rank Spiritual Wine that Lu Changsheng had acquired from Tianyuan True Monarch.

Luckily, only a limited number of High Rank Cultivators showed up, meaning the exquisite wines and gourmet dishes didn’t demand excessive quantities—otherwise, meeting such high standards would prove challenging.

As Immortal City’s Vice City Lord, Lu Changsheng arrived at the banquet ahead of time, taking charge of the proceedings and encountering numerous well-known Nascent Soul Cultivators.

For instance, from Qingyun Sect, where the Sect Master Liuyun True Man had made the trip himself.

Lu Changsheng shared courteous words with this leader of Qingyun Sect.

From the back hall, Lu Changsheng relaxed in conversation with Hong Lian, as the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] in his grasp shimmered with light, allowing him to watch the arriving Nascent Soul Immortals.

In general, employing Divine Sense, Spiritual Eye Pupil Techniques, or similar methods to secretly observe others counts as a grave discourtesy.

However, should one’s power vastly surpass the target’s, leaving them utterly oblivious, the situation changes entirely.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like various experts are masking their true cultivation levels to some degree."

Via the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror], Lu Changsheng observed that the Qingyun Sect Leader—said to be at Core Formation Sixth Layer—had actually advanced to Late Stage and probably stood at the Peak of Core Formation Seventh Layer.

During his earlier visit to Qingyun Sect, the suppression of his Qi and Blood Magical Power had prevented him from piercing the man’s actual cultivation.

"So this is Jiang Country’s famed beauty..."

Next, Lu Changsheng turned his gaze to a lady of refined poise and alluring charm, her locks flowing like a soaring immortal, brows delicately arched like artwork, a sheer veil adorned with plum blossoms veiling her features while hinting at her porcelain complexion, her aura otherworldly and sublime.

This lady served as the fresh Sect Leader of Huan Yin Sect, Fairy Qinqing, long celebrated as the ’Fairy of the Qin.’

Upon reaching Core Formation, her admirers had dubbed her Jiang Country’s supreme beauty.

Nevertheless, peering through the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] to behold Fairy Qinqing’s genuine visage, Lu Changsheng deemed her lovely yet not quite worthy of that lofty praise as Jiang Country’s most beautiful woman.

Neither Yun Wanshang nor the Core Formation Xiao Xiyue fell short of this Fairy Qinqing in allure.

That said, in the realm of cultivation, once individuals attain Core Formation, the majority devote themselves to training, but Huan Yin Sect specializes in melody-based techniques, mastering arts of music, performance, and enchantment, thus valuing outward renown for attractiveness.

"Women like Sister Miaoge or Xi Yue vying for Jiang Country’s title of most beautiful would seem rather undignified for them."

Though he lacked a direct view of Fairy Qinqing’s Core Formation quality.

Judging by her magic power’s flow, Lu Changsheng estimated her Core Formation to be merely Grade Five, perhaps even Grade Six.

"Moreover, I wonder about the true caliber of Huan Yin Sect’s skills in melody and dance?"

Lu Changsheng regarded Fairy Qinqing, whose bearing exuded elegance and regality akin to a deity from the highest realms, distant and pure, radiating timeless allure while blending seductive charm and multifaceted elegance, lost in thought.

After years of cultivation, he had seldom witnessed elite melody techniques, dances, or seductive arts in action.

A spark of curiosity ignited in him, prompting a desire to study them and perhaps guide his daughter Lu Baixi in their practice.

After all, the inheritance from her White Snake Bloodline followed the path of melody.

...

Through the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror], Lu Changsheng kept surveying the attendees.

Just then, his attention caught on a stern-faced middle-aged man clad in dark robes, causing a slight furrow in his brow.

The Whale Hunting Banquet welcomed all bearing Core Formation Cultivation, drawing in various loose cultivators.

This individual was one such loose cultivator, known as [Star Hiding Hermit], possessing Initial Stage Core Formation strength.

Yet, via the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror], Lu Changsheng immediately detected an irregularity.

Specifically, the mirror’s first examination failed to reveal this man’s true depths.

This struck him as highly unusual!

With the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] at his command, Lu Changsheng could penetrate even the Cultivation and Magical Power Mechanisms of those at Late Stage Core Formation.

"Could this fellow be a Nascent Soul Cultivator?"

Lu Changsheng’s gaze sharpened as he consulted the Artifact Spirit A Wu, inquiring whether it could separate illusion from reality.

"Buzz!"

The Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light vibrated softly, its solar and lunar glows swirling, within the reflection as if celestial bodies orbited in unison, bridging eras past and future, mirroring the cosmos itself.

"No."

A Wu’s flat, devoid-of-emotion voice echoed, linking its perception to Lu Changsheng and conveying the details about the dark-robed figure.

"Core Formation Peak!"

Upon noting the man’s cultivation stage, Lu Changsheng halted briefly, filled with considerable astonishment.
