Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1956: 511: Medicine Garden Secret Realm, Infant Transformation Elixir!

"Three months."

Lu Changsheng's gaze sharpened just a touch.

Such a secret realm's sudden appearance would undoubtedly alert the Four Great Immortal Sects of Jiang Country right away, and claiming it all for themselves could prove quite difficult.

Right then, Hong Lian sent a firebird flying toward the cliff in front.

The cliff then glowed with a profound blue divine light, creating an unseen barrier that snuffed out the firebird, its strength roughly matching the Early Core Formation stage.

"This secret realm appears badly damaged, with its barrier now only at Core Formation level. At best, only Early Core Formation cultivators can get inside; pushing harder might cause the whole place to crumble."

In her past life, Hong Lian had served as a Nascent Soul True Lord and palace master, facing plenty of ruined secret realms and learning to judge their states well.

"Only Early Core Formation cultivators can enter?"

Lu Changsheng's brow furrowed; that would bar him from going in too.

Yet after years of cultivation, he knew well that not every secret realm held real chances.

Plenty of secret realms grew empty over time and risked falling apart without warning.

At times, the space inside would shatter into void shards, floating lost in the Great Void the instant a cultivator entered.

Just a handful of secret realms stayed solid and offered chances or legacies.

Being able to host Core Formation cultivators was already a solid win.

Back in the day, the Purple Shadow Secret Realm had only allowed Energy Refining cultivators through.

"Hong Lian, do you know what sort of secret realm this might be?"

Lu Changsheng asked her directly.

If it turned out to be some empty secret realm on the verge of ruin, its worth would be slim.

"Husband, hold on a bit while I check it out."

Hong Lian made a hand sign, her eyes shimmering with red mist as she chanted spells toward the crystal on the cliff ahead.

Under the spell's effect, the cliff's crystal surface turned foggy and rippled like running water.

A short while later, Hong Lian thought it over and replied, "It resembles a Medicine Garden secret realm somewhat, though I can't say for sure yet. We'll need the barrier to fade fully before I can probe deeper."

"Still, the cliff up front isn't too steady. Breaking the barrier by force might shake the secret realm's balance and do more harm than good."

Dressed in her fine, lavish gown, Hong Lian stood with elegant, unmatched grace as she kept studying the cliff and explained.

"A Medicine Garden secret realm!?"

Joy lit up Lu Changsheng's face.

From what he'd learned through the years, the Four Great Immortal Sects held their ground and steadily trained Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators thanks to their hold on various standalone secret realms.

Among those, the trial secret realms and Medicine Garden secret realms stood out as key.

Trial secret realms served for testing and picking disciples, such as the Purple Shadow Secret Realm and Qingming Secret Realm, both in that group.

Medicine Garden secret realms, meanwhile, provided perfect spots for growing spirit plants and medicines, cutting down growth times or raising rare ones and odd variants from seeds.

Thus, a reliable Medicine Garden secret realm marked the foundation for a sect's thousand-year endurance!

Though the Lu Family owned a Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven for spiritual medicines, its results fell short, leaving them to depend mostly on the Myriad Spirits Bottle.

But that bottle yielded just one drop of Myriad Spirits Heaven Dew each year, far too little to meet needs.

With a Medicine Garden secret realm at hand, all the lottery prizes Lu Changsheng had gathered over time—like the Golden Armor Bean Mother, Nurturing Spirit Lotus, Heavenly Origin Precious Lotus, Coiled Dragon Blood Tooth Rice, Divine Power Fruit Tree, and Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree—plus any heaven-and-earth spiritual plants found elsewhere, could go right in for planting.

"It only seems a bit like one; it might just be a ruins secret realm instead."

Hong Lian pointed that out.

Ruins secret realms were the usual sort, including places like the Tianyuan Secret Realm and Vast Sand Illusion Realm.

Even the Purple Shadow Secret Realm could count as one.

It had simply been looted and shaped long ago by the Four Great Immortal Sects, turning it into a spot for trials and Medicine Garden uses to hone their followers.

"Heh, either way, as long as it's not some barren secret realm ready to fall apart, that'll do."

Lu Changsheng already saw the secret realm before them as his own possession.

His hopes weren't steep; anything that looked workable would suffice.

"Now that this secret realm has shown up, its divine light shooting skyward won't slip past the Four Great Immortal Sects' eyes."

Hong Lian went on, sharing with Lu Changsheng to gauge his view.

"Since it popped up in the Great Dream Marsh, it belongs to our Great Dream Immortal City by right."

Lu Changsheng gave a light laugh, his steady, unbothered tone carrying bold command and assured poise.

Unlike the old days when Qingyun Sect and Luoxia Sect found the Tianyuan Secret Realm and had to split it with the Four Great Immortal Sects, his Great Dream Immortal City faced no such demand.

That said, he still favored deals that benefited everyone.

Should the Four Great Immortal Sects bring worthwhile gains to the table, letting them have a share of the secret realm posed no problem.

"Spiritual Whale, stick around and guard this secret realm—don't mess with it. Chase off anyone who shows up."

Lu Changsheng turned to the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale and gave the order to watch over the site.

"Yes, Master."

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale agreed without fuss and settled in for a nap right there.

It had reached fourth rank but hadn't wrapped up its full change yet.

Next, Lu Changsheng lifted his hand casually, drawing the Demon Binding Lock that held the Quasi-Fourth Rank Whale King from the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's tail into his grasp, then hauled the massive Whale King back toward Great Dream Immortal City.

"When I get a chance, I ought to craft some fourth-rank Spirit Beast Bags or Spirit Beast Rings."

While Lu Changsheng could rely on great spells to catch and hold a Demon King, in everyday situations, he could manage only one at a time, and it would drain his mana nonstop.

The Spiritual Pet Bag, Qiankun Restraints, Formless Treasure Wheel, and Heavenly Origin Treasure Lotus in his possession could store loads of things, even demon beast bodies.

But for enormous demon kings like whale sharks, fitting them in would strain those tools heavily.
