Chapter 1721: Chapter 578: True Monarch’s Commendation, the Curtain Rises on the Pioneering War!
A refined-looking Nascent Soul Immortal spoke to a somewhat petite woman.
“Heaven-replenishing Elixir!?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu took the White Jade Porcelain Vase handed by her father, her expression surprised, followed by a surge of sourness and envy in her heart.
Like Lu Qingshan, she only possessed a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root.
Years ago, her father even asked the Grandmaster for the Heaven-replenishing Elixir.
Yet, the Grandmaster did not grant this elixir.
She speculated in her heart that the Grandmaster thought even if she obtained the Heaven-replenishing Elixir, her Spiritual Root might improve, yet it would still be difficult to advance to Core Formation.
The refined man seemed aware of his daughter’s thoughts, gently smoothing her hair with a warm voice: “Yu’er, in a few more years, the Sect will have a new batch of Coagulation Crystal Elixirs, and your father has secured a place for you.”
“This Lu Qingshan truly is a prodigy of this era; his appearance and character are both exemplary. You can seize this opportunity to get closer to him.”
“If you have such intentions, I will request the Master to arrange a marriage for you, then your mother could rest in peace.”
Even as a Nascent Soul Immortal and a disciple of a Nascent Soul True Lord, upon hearing Lu Qingshan’s battle achievements, he couldn’t help but be amazed.
Especially now as war breaks out between Liang Country and Yue Country, talents like Lu Qingshan are bound to rise up strongly!
Though his Master appreciates talent regardless of origin, Lu Qingshan is after all a valued member of the Jinyang Sect.
If he could become Dao Companions with his daughter, his Master would surely be pleased.
“Who would care for him!”
Shen Yu habitually bit her bottom lip, her delicate face holding an expression of stubborn arrogance.
Afterwards, under her father’s persuasion, she pocketed the Heaven-replenishing Elixir, walked out of the Cave Mansion, heading towards the Jinyang Sect’s outpost.
Nearing the outpost, she couldn’t help but take out the White Jade Porcelain Vase to look at it, eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
“Father has contributed countless achievements to the Sect; the Grandmaster clearly owns the Heaven-replenishing Elixir, yet refuses to grant it, preferring to award it to an outsider rather than to me.”
“If I obtained the Heaven-replenishing Elixir, with the further advancement of my Spiritual Root, I might have already achieved Core Formation, without needing to wait until now.”
Shen Yu opened the porcelain bottle, revealing a crystal pill the size of a dragon’s eye, exuding a fragrant aroma, compelling her to consume this Heaven-replenishing Elixir.
However, considering her fear of the Grandmaster potentially affecting her father, she suppressed her unwillingness and closed the porcelain bottle.
Then she arrived at the Jinyang Sect’s outpost, and said with an expressionless face: “I am Shen Yu of the Primordial Sect, daughter of Master Wuji, here under the True Monarch’s order to see Lu Qingshan, where is he?”
…
Time passed swiftly, and the dawn of the pioneering war in Jiang Country unfolded.
For a decade, the Four Great Immortal Sects and Azure Phoenix Immortal City have prepared resources for this war in all aspects.
The Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, for example, has seen the construction of countless temporary outposts.
During these days, the family forces under the Four Great Immortal Sects also sent their family disciples to participate in the war, preparing to board Spiritual Vessels heading to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
Bi Lake Mountain.
Lu Changsheng looked at the twenty-six Lu Family Disciples before him and said solemnly.
“While heading to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, ensure not to act rashly, prioritize your safety above all else. If you face any unfair treatment, contact me immediately!”
Although the Lu Family’s Pioneer Order quota is four Foundation Establishment Cultivators and twenty Energy Refining Cultivators,
this event of nationwide pioneering has deeply influenced every Lu Family disciple, causing them to actively sign up with fervor.
Thus, eventually, six Foundation Establishment cultivators and twenty Energy Refining cultivators are heading forth.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators include Lu Qingxuan, Lu Chensha, Lu Yunfei, Lu Qingze, Lu Ziyun, and Lu Xingshuo.
As for the Energy Refining cultivators, they comprise five second-generation Lu Family members and fifteen third-generation members.
Although the Lu Family offers great benefits and treatment,
ultimately, third-generation disciples cannot compare to second-generation, needing to rely on their effort and exceptional performance to have the opportunity of receiving a Foundation Establishment Elixir.
Thus, the third-generation Lu Family members are exceedingly eager for this pioneering war.
“Please rest assured, Father and Ancestor. We will not disappoint you, nor tarnish the prestigious name of Heavenly Talisman Lu Family!”
The Lu Family disciples stated earnestly.
Aware that their performance not only affects their future prospects but also the family’s reputation.
If their results are poor, not only will they face public ridicule, but so will the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family!
“Reputation lasts for a moment, but triumphing in the end is the true victory.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head, speaking softly as a Daoist Soldier Command appeared in his hand.
“Roar, roar, roar—”
The vast waves of Bi Shui Lake immediately echoed with rising and falling dragon roars.
Suddenly, a Nine-Headed Black Water Flood Dragon soared through the clouds.
Lu Changsheng retrieved a palm-sized Jade Spirit Boat from the Storage Ring.
Infusing mana into it, deep blue light surged and unfolded, transforming instantly into a large boat over ten meters long, swaying gently in mid-air while radiating brilliant spiritual light.
Then, large chains clasped onto the fearsome heads of the Blackwater Dragon Spirit Weapon.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Changsheng took a step, appearing upon the Spirit Boat, then the Great Hand of Magical Power lifted the twenty-six people onto the Spirit Boat, casting a glance toward the distant wives and concubines watching him.
If worry were to be spoken, it is indeed these wives and concubines who worry about their sons and daughters the most.
“I wish all brothers and sisters glorious return, to uphold the name of Heavenly Talisman Lu Family!”
“I wish all brothers and sisters glorious return, to uphold the name of Heavenly Talisman Lu Family!”
Many other Lu Family disciples who couldn’t register came to bid farewell, hands folded as they called out.
“Rest assured!”
Lu Qingxuan and others stood firm on the Spirit Boat, cupped their fists in salute, and then turned to gaze northward toward Bi Yun Peak, bowing to their mothers and others.
In the years ahead, unknown when they may return.
With some luck, they could forge a promising future and return home in triumph!
