Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1995: 524: The Dreamer, Five Core Formation Offspring! (Double-Length) (2)

"However, Daoist friend, as a Third-rank Talisman Master, if you are willing to become an Honored Guest of our Goddess Palace, not only will you be presented with a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, but even Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects can be gifted."

She had arrived today after naturally probing into Xuanmu's circumstances in advance.

Though his true origins remained unknown, his status as a Core Formation Late Stage cultivator and a Third Rank Superior Grade Talisman Master provided ample reason for the Goddess Palace to offer an invitation.

"Thank you, Third Palace Master!"

Lu Changsheng promptly displayed an expression of delight, followed by a sigh as he continued, "In fact, apart from this issue, there's another matter I'd like to request assistance from your palace on."

His real aim in visiting wasn't to join as an Honored Guest of the Goddess Palace.

Rather, it centered on seeking the Goddess Palace's aid to locate his son, Lu Quanzhen, and gather intelligence on the Infant Transformation Elixir.

Naturally, forming a Dao Companion bond with the Third Palace Master standing before him would be ideal.

Yet, winning over a woman like Shen Yiren to become a Dao Companion demanded a lengthy and intricate journey, impossible to achieve swiftly.

Thus, Lu Changsheng planned to leverage favors to swiftly track down his son Lu Quanzhen, then steadily draw closer to the Third Palace Master while building favor.

"Please speak, Daoist friend."

Shen Yiren kept a warm smile on her features, her voice gentle and soft.

"Truthfully, I hail not from the Starry Sky Sea's cultivators. My journey here served dual purposes: pursuing Nascent Soul chances during travels, and responding to a sudden sense of peril for my disciple who ventured out alone from closed-door cultivation via a Teleportation Array to this place, vanishing without trace since..."

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh before narrating his tale gradually.

Numerous Nascent Soul-tier forces impose rigorous checks on identities and histories when enlisting guest cultivators.

This holds especially true for those leasing Fourth Rank Spirit Veins to attempt Nascent Soul breakthroughs!

After all, Core Formation Great Masters wield immense influence no matter where they appear.

Barring Nascent Soul True Lords, few can rival them.

A Peak Core Formation infiltrator into a faction could spell grave peril, necessitating deep scrutiny of their past.

Moreover, to steer clear of entanglements with other factions' karma or enemy spies.

Even with services rendered to the Goddess Palace, rules could not be overlooked.

As for fabricating his history to fool a premier Starry Sky Sea power like Penglai Island or the Goddess Palace proved challenging, so openly admitting his external roots seemed wiser.

"Not a Starry Sky Sea cultivator?"

Shen Yiren displayed mild astonishment yet kept her composure steady, as anticipated.

The Goddess Palace's probes had revealed no trace of a "Xuanmu Taoist" within the Starry Sky Sea.

With a soft smile, she inquired in a melodious tone, "Does Xuanmu Taoist seek our Goddess Palace's aid in locating your disciple?"

"Precisely, during my seclusion, a abrupt foreboding alerted me to my disciple's peril abroad, prompting my arrival in the Starry Sky Sea via arrays."

Lu Changsheng explained, his countenance brimming with authentic concern, "Yet every attempt at divination yields no clues about my disciple."

"Divination?"

Shen Yiren latched onto the term, her crimson lips parting slightly, her luminous gaze reflecting surprise as she remarked, "Xuanmu Taoist possesses knowledge of the Divination Art as well?"

If excelling in alchemy, formations, talismans, and artifact forging branded one a scarce prodigy,

Then mastery of the Divination Art elevated one to an extraordinarily rare genius!

No faction could boast excess diviners.

"I merely dabbled in it during my youth and have scarcely scratched the surface, far from true proficiency."

A Third Rank pinnacle in divination recollection equated to nearing mastery.

Still, Lu Changsheng opted against exposing such elevated divination prowess, claiming only entry-level Third Rank attainment.

"The Divination Art's depths are arcane and elusive; for Xuanmu Taoist to achieve even modest progress is no small feat."

Though Shen Yiren's visage appeared fresh and enchanting like a maiden's, her true years neared three centuries.

Differing from her elder sisters, she practiced a Life-Nurturing Technique, emphasizing firm foundations and broad expertise, hence her ventures into pill refinement, arrays, talismans, artifacts, and divination.

Armed with this insight, she grasped divination's far greater challenges over other disciplines, demanding innate gifts.

Exercising caution, Shen Yiren refrained from probing further and murmured gently, "Daoist friend’s mana runs profound, and your roots lie beyond the Starry Sky Sea, so decisions on leasing a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein or serving as Honored Guest fall beyond my sole authority; my sister's approval is needed."

"That said, on your disciple's behalf, I can assist in the search. Daoist friend, share his name and notable traits, and I'll dispatch investigators shortly."

Lu Changsheng's origins stayed murky.

Yet as the Goddess Palace's Third Palace Master, she held familiarity with Divination and Insight Techniques.

From their exchange, Lu Changsheng's sincerity shone devoid of deceit, inclining her to lend aid.

Furthermore, the inquiry could unveil more about Lu Changsheng himself.

Inwardly, Lu Changsheng mused that this Third Palace Master matched the tales of her stunning beauty and benevolent spirit. He offered a grateful salute, clasping hands in bow, and uttered, "Thank you, Third Palace Master!"

With the Goddess Palace's resources scouring details on his son Lu Quanzhen, direct discovery might elude them, but additional leads would surely emerge for deeper pursuit.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng presented a Jade Slip, declaring, "My disciple goes by ’Zhao Wuzhen,’ with his likeness detailed herein. From my guesses, he probably ventured into the Kunpeng Nest Secret Realm that stirred such commotion years back..."

Lu Changsheng knew his son's assumed guise and false name.

Indeed, dispatching Lu Quanzhen to the Starry Sky Sea predated his own Divination Art command, so he'd anticipated such contingencies early.

"Alright~"

Shen Yiren touched her scarlet lips lightly, beaming as she accepted the Jade Slip before querying, "Will Xuanmu Taoist stay in the Immortal City for now?"
