Chapter 2216: Chapter 732: Homecoming (Part 2)
After a long while, Lu Changsheng, looking a bit tired, called over Song Yudie.
“Elder Xuanmu.”
Upon receiving the message, Song Yudie rushed over immediately, bowing respectfully.
“Little Song, are you adjusting well as the steward on Rongyue Island?”
With gentle eyes, Lu Changsheng showed concern for Song Yudie standing before him.
Hearing this, Song Yudie wondered if Lu Changsheng’s sudden concern was due to her shortcomings, or just genuine care.
She immediately bowed and said, “Returning Elder, Yudie was entrusted with great responsibility by you. Initially, I was a bit overwhelmed, but I have gradually adapted…”
“Hmm.”
After a few caring words, Lu Changsheng inquired if she had any doubts in her cultivation, which made Song Yudie feel flattered.
After advising her on cultivation issues, Lu Changsheng gently said, “I will be heading out soon, everything on Rongyue Island should remain as usual. Keep an eye on any news related to the Kunpeng egg for me in your spare time.”
“If any news about the Kunpeng egg emerges from Starry Sky Sea, you should crush this jade talisman.”
Though it would be better to ask Shen Yiren for help regarding the Kunpeng egg’s news.
But due to the situation with Lu Quanzhen, the inheritor of the Kunpeng Demon Technique, the Third Palace Master already harbors many doubts about my identity.
Requesting her to pay attention to the Kunpeng egg’s information at this time might not be wise.
And in Starry Sky Sea, Lu Changsheng has no trusted people, so after considering, only Song Yudie, the steward, is available.
“Please rest assured, Elder Xuanmu.”
Song Yudie, who earlier thought something was wrong, now understood that the elder needed to go out, so he checked on her in passing.
As for the Kunpeng egg matter, she had heard about it.
But such matters are beyond her rank, so she considered it a topic of interest and didn’t really ponder why Lu Changsheng wanted her to pay attention to it.
Using the Observation Skill, Lu Changsheng saw that Song Yudie was trustworthy, so he did not speak further.
He bestowed three Second Rank Talismans, indicating for her to get busy, then he reported to Divine Maiden Peak before leaving Goddess Palace.
…
A thousand miles away from Penglai Island, Lu Changsheng ensured no one was around, and his body shimmered with a colorful glow, transforming into the appearance of Yangming True Master.
Soon after, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng also shed its disguise, its feathers became gloriously golden and magnificently brilliant.
“Let’s go, Golden Peng.”
Although it took Lu Changsheng two months to arrive at Penglai Immortal City from the Great Dream Marsh’s Sea Eye.
During this journey, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng did not travel at full speed.
Time is crucial now, so Lu Changsheng instructed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to travel at full speed, even pasting a Third Rank Divine Wind Talisman on its neck.
In just one month and two days, Lu Changsheng returned to the junction of Great Dream Marsh and Starry Sky Sea.
But this long stretch of full-speed flying left even the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng a bit tired and in need of rest, so Lu Changsheng immediately summoned the Michen Banner.
Taking this opportunity to assess the teleportation cost from Starry Sky Sea to Great Dream Immortal City and gauging the effect of the endless fog on teleportation moving, before considering building a teleportation transfer station.
“Buzz!”
The Michen Banner emitted a five-colored light that enveloped Lu Changsheng, then transformed into a cloud, rippling and shifting towards Great Dream Immortal City’s direction.
A moment later, after a dizzying whirl, with spatial ripples fluctuating, Lu Changsheng appeared inside the City Lord Mansion.
“Indeed, it has an impact…”
Lu Changsheng watched as countless Spirit Stones he had imbued into Michen Banner nearly burned out, exhaling a long breath of turbid energy.
Realizing that such fog in Great Dream Marsh affects teleportation, he knows if he wants to build a teleportation array, he must enhance its specifications to ensure stability.
At the same time, Ling Zixiao sensed Lu Changsheng’s return through formation fluctuations and came to check.
“Lord.”
She looked at the gentlemanly and handsome Lu Changsheng, holding the Michen Banner, with his magical aura a bit chaotic.
“Zixiao.”
Lu Changsheng immediately stepped forward, holding his wife’s hand, showing concern about the past two years in the Immortal City and at home.
Though aware of his son Lu Lingxiao’s breakthrough to the Core Formation stage.
But seeing Ling Zixiao’s brows filled with joy as she shared the good news, Lu Changsheng was also pleased, and went with his wife to check on their son’s situation.
“Lord, have these past two years been smooth for you?”
Ling Zixiao also inquired about Lu Changsheng’s trip to Starry Sky Sea.
Especially seeing him use the Michen Banner to return, she thought he met with danger.
“Can’t say it’s been smooth, but also not unsmooth…”
Lu Changsheng narrated the situation in Starry Sky Sea to his wife, mentioning he gathered a lot of information during this time.
But whether it was about their son Lu Quanzhen or the Infant Transformation Elixir, there were no leads.
Especially through divination, he vaguely sensed that Lu Quanzhen is in a dangerous situation, and this time back, he needs to make some preparations before going again.
“These matters can’t be rushed, my dear, don’t be anxious.”
Ling Zixiao comforted her husband.
A Qi Refinement cultivator traveling for Foundation Establishment opportunities may spend over a decade, even most of their life.
Lu Changsheng had only been to Starry Sky Sea for two years. If he had found the Infant Transformation Elixir and Nascent Soul opportunity, it would be astounding.
Though with her husband’s extraordinary luck, it seems normal, but two years is too short, not to mention back and forth travel.
“Hmm.”
Lu Changsheng smiled, not feeling overly pressed.
The two arrived at Lu Lingxiao’s secluded cave mansion, waited for a quarter-hour, and the latter emerged, cupped his hands and saluted, “Father, Mother!”
“Xiao’er, congratulations on breaking through to Core Formation.”
Lu Changsheng observed his son before placing a hand on his shoulder to check his Golden Core status.
He noticed his son’s Golden Core foundation was very profound, well-established.
If he hopes to form a Great Dao Golden Core like himself, he must possess Third Rank Body Refining during Foundation Establishment and complete the Dragon Roar Physique for a chance.
Otherwise, no matter how much he accumulates, it’s difficult to enhance further!
After discussing his son’s Golden Core cultivation status, Lu Changsheng instructed him to take his time settling in and cultivating Techniques and Divine Abilities at home.
Additionally, not to neglect formation learning, and to raise it to Third Rank as soon as possible.
“Zixiao, also guide Xiao’er more on formation learning in your spare time.”
Even though his son Lu Lingxiao’s talent in formations is slightly above average.
But with the Son of Heaven Qi Observation as a Seed of Law, Dao patterns and qi mechanisms are visibly clear to him, making learning twice as effective at half the effort!
The same applies to Dragon Seeking Art.
But compared to formations, the effect of Dragon Seeking Art is rather singular, so Lu Changsheng isn’t pushing his son to focus all his time and energy here, just to help him gather draws.
“Hmm~”
As a Third Rank Array Master, Ling Zixiao deeply understands the impact and function of formations.
Whether venturing out to gain experience or defending a territory, they are indispensable, greatly aiding her son’s future growth.
It mainly helps that her son is quite talented in this aspect.
Unlike their daughter Lu Linghe, she never urges the latter to learn pills, formations, talismans, artifacts, etc.
…
With matters at hand, thinking of heading quickly to the Myriad Demon Abyss to elevate the Soul-calling Beast to Fourth Rank, Lu Changsheng did not delay much. He spent several days warming up with Ling Zixiao, Hong Lian, Meng Xiaochan, and others, then hurried back to Bi Lake Mountain.
Upon returning to Bi Lake Mountain, after passing the first transformation technique of “True Spirit Nine Transformations” to Lu Ping’an, Lu Changsheng hinted he should ponder it well when he has the time, then spent time with his wife Lu Miaoge and others.
It is worth mentioning that Bai Ling had successfully advanced to Core Formation.
Despite possessing a faint True Spirit Bloodline, and having the Coagulation Crystal Elixir, Five Elements Spirit Fruit, and other top-grade Core Formation Spiritual Objects, Bai Ling only barely formed a Second Grade Golden Core.
This is quite normal.
Cultivators building foundations, forming cores, reaching Nascent Soul, apart from personal deep foundation, it also relates to external factors and mentality.
Although Bai Ling does well in many aspects, her Dao heart and mentality are even less than Lu Changsheng’s.
Achieving a Second Grade Golden Core is already due to Lu Changsheng’s ample preparations.
Otherwise, relying solely on her, achieving core formation might be possible, but a Superior Grade Golden Core certainly not.
In addition to Music Mastery, Lu Changsheng also suggested Bai Ling find time to learn the formation path from Ling Zixiao.
After all, given Bai Ling’s personality, she might struggle in combat but can still be useful in defending the home.
And after breaking through to Core Formation, whatever she learns, her abilities will greatly enhance.
