Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1896: 491: Punishment Beast, 1,000 Zhuyan Awaken! (3)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Consider examining the condition of Qian Zhuyan's Puppet Spirit Soul in detail first, before devising a proper plan.
Right then, something crossed Lu Changsheng's mind, stirring his thoughts; he lifted his hand gently, summoning the Soul-calling Beast from within the Qiankun Shadow-Confining Belt.
"Chi chi chi..."
The moment Tihun materialized, its pitch-black eyes glowing with an odd yellow light fixed instantly on Qian Zhuyan, a hungry glint shining in its gaze.
Inside the Dark Armor Puppet, Qian Zhuyan froze abruptly, as though struck by overwhelming dread.
This reaction intensified because his soul, now resembling a Puppet Spirit, felt like it was up against a deadly predator, causing an instinctive shudder deep within.
"Tihun, got any ideas?"
Since the Soul-calling Beast holds power over various ghosts and corpse fiends, perhaps it could offer a method to handle Qian Zhuyan's predicament.
Resembling a monkey, Tihun leaped from Lu Changsheng's palm onto Qian Zhuyan's shoulder, inhaling deeply through its wide nostrils, before conveying to Lu Changsheng that it was capable of devouring the other's soul akin to a ghostly spirit.
"???"
Qian Zhuyan's flawless command over the puppet stemmed from his soul's shift into a Puppet Spirit.
Should Tihun consume it, his soul would suffer grave damage, and he'd forfeit all dominance over the puppet.
"Never mind, this doesn't concern you right now."
Lu Changsheng gestured for Tihun to retreat, intending to investigate further another time.
Yet, Tihun's emergence only deepened Qian Zhuyan's terror and awe toward the Lu Changsheng standing before him.
...
After five days, Lu Changsheng finished restoring Qian Zhuyan's physical form and integrated the acquired Soul Nourishing Wood, Soul Crystal, and Star Shining Stone into it, prolonging the duration of her awareness.
Enhancing the puppet's grade and refining its essence would demand considerable effort, especially with his current pressing duties.
Once he passed the puppet-making resources to Qian Zhuyan, advising her to seek out Hong Lian for any needs, Lu Changsheng departed to spend time with his spouses, concubines, and offspring.
"Lu Lang..."
Spotting Lu Changsheng done with his chores, Meng Xiaochan promptly brought up their daughter Lu Mengchan's impending Foundation Establishment.
Through years of dedicated practice, Lu Mengchan's progress had hit its zenith, ready to advance to Foundation Establishment whenever, forming a Flawless Foundation Base.
To Meng Xiaochan, Foundation Establishment marked the initial stage of Cultivation, the gateway to the Grand Dao, vital and demanding perfection.
Though she believed her child's groundwork was exceptionally solid—eclipsing her own youthful achievements—she held off until Lu Changsheng wrapped up his affairs for his assessment.
She recognized that, be it insight or mastery of the "Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Secret Scripture," she paled in comparison to Lu Changsheng.
"Tsk, it's already quite impressive."
Lu Changsheng grasped his daughter Lu Mengchan's wrist, channeling Yin Yang Magic Power into her frame.
Thanks to the Calamitous Poison Body, training in the "Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Secret Scripture," and ingesting countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures suited to the Calamitous Poison Body, Lu Mengchan's Spiritual Power surpassed even what Lu Changsheng possessed back in Qi Refinement.
Without Xiao Xiyue's Taiyin Moonlight, the Great Sun Essence from the Golden Crow Elixir, and Yun Wanshang's Spirit-nurturing Energy to elevate his Dao Foundation to the Yin Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation.
Nor the boosts from Ling Zixiao's Dragon Roar Physique, Nangong Mili's Taiyin Jade Liquid, and numerous other Spiritual Bodies, his own Dao Foundation wouldn't have reached such heights.
"I'll guide Mengmeng through her Foundation Establishment breakthrough soon."
Considering his daughter's remarkable aptitude and Meng Xiaochan's worries, Lu Changsheng decided to oversee it himself, employing the Yin-Yang Source to aid in solidifying her foundation.
With the family's scarce Five Elements Spirit Fruits and the Myriad Spirits Heaven Dew devoted to the Xuanwood Vine over the years, Lu Changsheng refrained from granting her a Five Elements Spirit Fruit, though he pondered how much further her Dao Foundation might soar.
"Thank you, Lu Lang."
Meng Xiaochan, learning Lu Changsheng would personally guard their daughter's advancement, responded with evident happiness, her brows arching in pure joy.
"Thank you, Daddy."
Lu Mengchan chimed in sweetly, her refined and lovely features showing a touchingly submissive charm that stirred tenderness.
"Hahaha, no need for thanks here."
Lu Changsheng chuckled heartily, lightly squeezing the smooth cheeks of his wife and daughter, grinning as he spoke.
Next, he inspected his Storage Ring for any Heavenly and Earthly Treasures or Elixirs that might assist his daughter.
At his current stage, however, few such items proved useful for Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment.
Besides, typical Heavenly and Earthly Treasures would offer no benefit to her and could even taint the clarity of her Dao Foundation.
