Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1927: 502: 50 Children Reach Foundation Establishment, Goddess Furnace! (part 3)

Shaking his head with a deep sigh, Lu Changsheng felt a pang of regret over squandering that advanced lottery draw.

Yet, upon further reflection, he understood that the Goddess Furnace held some real potential after all.

Take his "Six Desires Heart Demon Technique," for example—it could harness the Desire Law from the Goddess Furnace to advance his cultivation.

And if that fell short, he might just set it up in his cave mansion as a fancy incense burner, lending a touch of flair during dual cultivation sessions with his wives...

Pushing aside any lingering doubts, Lu Changsheng tucked the Goddess Furnace away into his storage ring and pressed onward with his travels.

...

One month passed before Lu Changsheng slipped back into Bi Lake Mountain unnoticed.

Thanks to his Nascent Soul Level Soul, he quickly spotted the lively buzz of celebration gripping his family, all set for some grand event.

It didn't take much guessing—this had to be for his son Lu Ping’an’s wedding.

"Looks like I made it just in time."

Even without his physical presence, the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox had been filling in for him temporarily.

Still, this was his son's big day; whenever possible, he'd show up himself.

As he reached the Lu Family Mansion, Lu Miaoyun caught sight of him and rushed over with a beaming smile, crying out, "Husband!"

"Yun’er."

Lu Changsheng grinned back and approached, inquiring about the time remaining before the festivities kicked off.

"Two and a half months to go."

Lu Miaoyun answered right away.

Earlier, Lu Changsheng had mentioned heading to Jin Kingdom and promised to return within a year at most.

So, Lu Miaoge had set the wedding date with the Heavenly Sword Sect without dragging things out too much.

"How's everything shaping up so far?"

Lu Changsheng took his wife's soft hand in his and settled down next to her.

"All preparations are in place; plenty of guests have started arriving already..."

Lu Miaoyun filled him in on all the details of the setup.

"You've all put in such effort."

Lu Changsheng remarked with a warm smile, then probed for any notable events in Jiang Country over the recent period.

"The Xu Family has a new Nascent Soul cultivator?"

When he learned that the Beast Taming Xu Family had brought forth a renowned Nascent Soul cultivator, Lu Changsheng merely arched an eyebrow, showing no real shock.

He'd once tasked Ling Zixiao with digging up intel on the Beast Taming Xu Family, figuring that without the Qingyun Sect's interference, they'd have nurtured a second Nascent Soul cultivator ages ago.

With their second Nascent Soul emerging now, it boiled down to the Xu Family's Elder Ancestor nearing the end of his lifespan, requiring fresh protection for the clan.

In truth, Lu Changsheng figured this Nascent Soul cultivator had achieved the breakthrough long before, only revealing himself at this moment.

"Xu Tiandu?"

But the name of this True Man from the Xu Family caught Lu Changsheng off guard for a second.

Wasn't that the very guy Xu Ruyin had sworn vengeance against?

From what Xu Ruyin had shared, this man had hit Foundation Establishment Middle Stage young, then ventured out on adventures and vanished without a trace.

Now, here he was, back as a Nascent Soul powerhouse.

"Tsk, the Xu Family's been playing their cards close to the chest."

Lu Changsheng let out a soft chuckle, fairly convinced that Xu Tiandu's Nascent Soul breakthrough had happened way earlier.

The Xu Family maintained other operations beyond Jiang Country's borders too.

Within Jiang Country, once a core family member reached Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, they'd get dispatched there to train.

That said, Lu Changsheng held little curiosity about it all.

Times had shifted dramatically, after all.

The Beast Taming Xu Family of today no longer held any appeal for Lu Ancestor.

"Oh, darling, that Xuanmu Vine Fruit you sowed at the top of Bi Yun Peak has ripened fully..."

Lu Miaoyun suddenly recalled something and brought it up.

"Ripened already!"

Lu Changsheng's face lit up with excitement.

He pinned great hopes on the Xuanmu Vine's fruit.

After all, as Hong Lian had described, the Xuanmu Vine served as a companion spiritual vine to the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine, sharing numerous overlapping qualities.

Thus, he aimed to draw clues about the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine's own progress through studying the Xuanmu Vine.

Noting the enigmatic look on his wife's face, Lu Changsheng lifted an eyebrow and teased with a grin, "So, does this ripened fruit turn out to be something extraordinary?"

"You'll see for yourself soon enough, husband."

Lu Miaoyun replied with a mischievous lilt, keeping mum about how the ripened fruit had morphed into the prized treasure he longed for—a gourd.

"Oh?"

A vague idea formed in Lu Changsheng's thoughts; he chuckled lightly, then summoned his wife Qu Zhenzhen, heading off with both women to the peak of Bi Yun Peak.

Stepping into the underground palace, Lu Changsheng's eyes locked onto a lush green gourd brimming with robust vitality, etched with deep purple-black markings, resting atop the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine.

As a Third Rank Top Level Refiner, Lu Changsheng possessed keen insight, immediately sensing the gourd's exceptional nature.

Spotting how the Xuanmu Vine next to the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine on the Five Elements Soil had vanished, Lu Changsheng felt a surge of joy and turned to his wife, asking, "Zhenzhen, did this gourd form from the fruit of the Xuanmu Vine?"

Though Lu Changsheng had once dreamed of the Xuanmu Vine yielding a Fourth Rank or even Fifth Rank gourd for him.

Given that the fruit's initial shape wasn't gourd-like, he'd tempered his hopes.

To his delight, the Xuanmu Vine had truly evolved into the gourd he'd anticipated.

"That's right, this gourd emerged from the transformation of the Xuanmu Vine’s fruit..."

Qu Zhenzhen eagerly dove into explaining the full ripening process of the Xuanmu Vine’s fruit to Lu Changsheng.
