Lu Wangshu, dressed in a pink and white dress, her face bright and charming, smiled as she patted her younger brother’s shoulder.
In her heart, she was grateful for the Profound Origin Bead given by her father.
Otherwise, facing Lu Lingxiao, she would have had to use talismans and talisman soldiers.
"Understood, Sister Wangshu..."
Lu Lingxiao’s mouth twitched, and he called out with a tense face.
He hadn’t expected the gap between himself and Lu Wangshu to be so large, not even pushing her to use her talisman formation skills.
However, he was not discouraged, as he had co primarily to see the difference between them.
He planned to spar with Lu Wangshu again after creating his life-bound Spiritual Artifact and refining his Foundation Establishnt spell.
...
Five days later, Lu Wangshu’s Foundation Establishnt ceremony officially began.
However, to all the guests, this ceremony was not only Lu Wangshu’s Foundation Establishnt ceremony but also Lu Family’s eldest son Lu Ping’an’s False Core ceremony and Lu Changsheng, the Lu Family Ancestor’s Talisman Master ceremony!
Therefore, this ceremony was exceedingly grand.
Every force representative or individual loose cultivator who ca to congratulate was presented with a congratulatory gift.
Even many small Qi Refinent families and small forces that weren’t invited prepared gifts to co to Blue Lake Mountain.
After all, for those small family forces, this was an opportunity.
If they could beco acquainted with the Lu Family through gift-giving, it would be worth any expense.
"Xie Family from Lingxi Lake, Fifth Elder ca to congratulate, presenting three Foundation Establishnt spirit herbs and one top-level Spiritual Artifact!"
"Owner Yan from Misty Rain Market ca to congratulate, presenting a second-rank Monster Core!"
"Lu Ancestor from Qingzhu Mountain ca to congratulate, presenting ten jade green bamboo treasures!"
Generally, the higher the cultivation level and the larger the force behind, the more generous the congratulatory gift.
However, these matters are all about social exchanges.
In the future, when these forces host ceremonies, the Lu Family also needs to reciprocate.
"Such a ceremony is truly grand."
"It was about thirty-nine years ago when the Lu Family was established on Blue Lake Mountain. I ca with the ancestor to attend the ceremony. Who knew that Blue Lake Mountain would now beco a False Core family!"
"I always knew the Lu Family on Blue Lake Mountain would rise, but I never expected it to rise so quickly."
"Alas, back then, it was because a direct daughter of the Luo Family was noticed by the Lu Ancestor and taken as a concubine that the Luo Family rapidly rose over the years, having two Qi Refinent great circle cultivators to oversee. Unfortunately, ordinary won now do not catch the eye of the Lu Ancestor."
Many guests, hearing these congratulatory gifts and watching the coming and going Foundation Establishnt cultivators, exchanged whispers and marveled.
The forces that frequently interacted with Blue Lake Mountain were particularly moved.
They had witnessed the establishnt and rise of Blue Lake Mountain’s Lu Family.
But who would have thought, in the blink of an eye, Blue Lake Mountain had grown to such a degree, becoming a behemoth.
Bai Yunyang, the ancestor of the Hundred Birds Lake Bai Family, looked at the scenes before him, feeling a bit dazed.
When Lu Changsheng attacked Blue Lake Mountain back then, he had helped out.
Now, more than thirty years later, his Hundred Birds Lake still had only one Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
And Blue Lake Mountain now officially had nine Foundation Establishnt cultivators, a world of difference between the two!
It wasn’t that the Bai Family had developed poorly.
In thirty-nine years, following Blue Lake Mountain and relying on the Red Leaf Valley Market, the Bai Family’s strength had almost doubled compared to before.
But no family had developed like Blue Lake Mountain...
Hong Yi also ca to Blue Lake Mountain with a congratulatory gift.
Looking at the scene before him, he was filled with emotion.
Sixty years ago, if soone had told him Lu Changsheng could grow to this extent, he wouldn’t have believed it even if they killed him.
In his heart, he was incredibly grateful to know Lu Changsheng and to have fostered good relations.
"If I could see Xuanji achieve Foundation Establishnt, I, Hong Yi, would have no regrets in this life."
Hong Yi recalled that a few days ago, his son Hong Xuanji told him he was preparing for Foundation Establishnt.
The reason was simple: His wife, Lu Caizhen, had requested a Foundation Establishnt Elixir for him.
At the ti of hearing this, Hong Yi felt like he was dreaming, thinking he was hallucinating.
After all, Foundation Establishnt Elixirs were precious.
Even though he had years of friendship with Lu Changsheng, he didn’t dare ask for a Foundation Establishnt Elixir.
Now the other has taken the initiative to give his son an opportunity.
Although he felt his son’s chance of achieving Foundation Establishnt was low.
He still brought out all the family savings, letting him purchase Foundation Establishnt Spirit Objects and prepare well.
...
This ceremony, Lu Changsheng just went through the motions.
Mainly, it was Lu Ping’an, Lu Wangshu, and Lu Xingyang who made appearances.
Since Lu Miaoge had previously said she would present a few third-rank talismans as a giveaway at the ceremony,
Lu Changsheng also took out five ready third-rank lower quality talismans for a simple auction.
The enthusiasm of the Foundation Establishnt cultivators present exceeded Lu Changsheng’s expectations, with each third-rank talisman fetching tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
However, of the five third-rank talismans, except for two that were purely sold at high Spirit Stone prices, the other three involved a trade of Spirit Stones plus item exchanges.
This made Lu Changsheng realize that this stuff was sotis more effective than Foundation Establishnt Elixirs.
Or rather, Foundation Establishnt Elixirs were mostly needed by family forces.
While third-rank talismans were needed by both family forces and loose cultivators.
Especially those who risked their lives on the line, adventuring and exploring secret realms, these loose cultivators.
"Rest assured, everyone, our Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family still adheres to the developnt path of harmony and shared prosperity, and will not proactively make enemies with any family forces...
After the ceremony had progressed to a certain point, Lu Changsheng spoke up.
Although nobody fully believed and trusted such words,
But with Blue Lake Mountain’s current strength and reputation, Lu Changsheng, the ancestor, saying these words carried a certain weight.
Thus, with the newly established Lu Family Comrce Association not yet fully set up, many forces were already willing to join voluntarily to form a comrce alliance.
However, in these matters, Lu Changsheng did not concern himself, leaving it for Lu Xingyang and others to arrange and handle.
After all, he only set the family’s general direction;
it was for the children to implent, and he had no leisure to worry.
However, facing the enthusiasm of various family forces, after so thought, Lu Changsheng still accepted five maidservants to show goodwill.
After the ceremony ended, Lu Changsheng returned to continue spending his days with his wives, concubines, and children, occasionally making talismans, teaching Li Xingruo alchemy, and child-rearing!
.....
Half a month later.
[Congratulations to the host’s first offspring for becoming a second-order Spiritual Plant Master, receiving one lottery chance!]
"Second-order Spiritual Plant Master?"
Lu Changsheng’s brow lightly raised, montarily unsure which child had advanced to a second-order Spiritual Plant Master.
Because the path of Spiritual Plants, among the hundred arts of cultivation, was the simplest, many of his children followed it.
"It should be Xingyue, right?"
Lu Changsheng thought for a mont, considering his daughter Lu Xingyue to be the likeliest.
Though he had several children who were top-level Spiritual Plant Masters,
either their cultivation level was a bit low, or they had only recently advanced;
only daughter Lu Xingyue fit the bill.
And a few days ago, Lu Xingyue was preparing to nurture her Divine Sense before Foundation Establishnt, then impact Foundation Establishnt.
Having her Divine Sense would greatly help with these skills.
Lu Changsheng did not dwell much on it, silently thinking: "System, draw."
A light-red roulette appeared, and golden light began to spin.
A mont later, the golden light stopped on the ’Magical Treasure’ section.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Magical Treasure: Formless Treasure Wheel!]
[The reward has been sent to the system space, and the host can check it anyti]
A crystal-clear, faintly golden glowing treasure wheel, etched with ancient patterns, erged from the roulette as a system prompt sounded.
