"Master."
Lu Changsheng, enveloped by the Inverted Five Elents Formation and the Divine Wood Great Formation of the Suru Tree Dynasty, softly called out, his voice ethereal and misty, like a calming breeze and white clouds brushing past, lodious to the ears.
"Suru."
Lu Changsheng turned back, gazing at the Suru Tree King, whose entire body was like gold and jade, radiating a crystalline glow, and responded with a smile.
If one were to consider top-level spiritual pets, the Suru Tree King was indeed his first true spirit level spiritual pet.
For nearly a hundred years, it had silently guarded Bi Lake Mountain.
Now, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale, and the Soul-calling Beast have all advanced to the Fourth Rank, while the Suru Tree King remains at the Third Rank Late Stage.
On one hand, its growth is restricted by its nature as a demon plant and the spirit vein of Bi Lake Mountain.
On the other hand, it’s also due to the limited nurturing Lu Changsheng provided to the Suru Tree King.
Except for the Emperor’s Flowing Magma early on, the Third Rank spirit vein, and the innate pure qi ford unintentionally by the Xuanwood Vine, it was almost left without nurturing.
However, boosting the Suru Tree King’s rank is actually quite simple.
Simply enhancing the Cave Heaven Spirit Vein and perfecting the Cave Heaven Rules would suffice.
Though easy to say, it’s difficult to execute.
For the Suru Tree King, the Third Rank spirit vein is no longer significantly beneficial; a Fourth Rank spirit vein is a necessity.
But a Fourth Rank spirit vein—at Lu Changsheng’s current level of Dragon Seeking Art—cannot be excavated, nor dares he to dig haphazardly.
As for the clear and muddy qi needed to perfect the Cave Heaven Rules... it’s not simple either.
Gazing at the Suru Tree King before him, Lu Changsheng suddenly noticed the mysterious destiny of Bi Lake Mountain rapidly rising.
As a Fourth Rank Divination Master, he naturally understood that this was due to their return to Bi Lake Mountain, which was generating this mysterious destiny.
As the Lord of Bi Lake Mountain, his prolonged absence not only caused the family’s luck to decline but also disrupted its montum.
Now, not only he has returned, but also Lu Quanzhen, a top-level Nascent Soul cultivator, and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, a transford demon king.
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, as Lu Changsheng’s spiritual pet, naturally belonged to Bi Lake Mountain and, invisibly, would also bring so fortune to Bi Lake Mountain.
"If it continues to rise like this, the intangible fortune of Bi Lake Mountain might even surpass Qingyun Sect."
Lu Changsheng squinted slightly, realizing that if Bi Lake Mountain’s fortune beca too prosperous and exceeded Qingyun Sect, it would surely attract the attention of other forces.
However, as a Fourth Rank Divination Master and a Third Rank Top-Level Formation Master, he planned to conceal it slightly later on to avoid unnecessary trouble.
If it beca truly unhideable, then there would be no choice but to lay all cards on the table.
Lu Changsheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Lu Quanzhen, saying, "Quanzhen, let’s go. First, let’s et your mother."
The reason Lu Changsheng waited for Lu Quanzhen to complete the Demon Fetus Transformation and adjust his state was also to et his wife, Qu Zhenzhen.
Otherwise, having sent Lu Quanzhen to Starry Sky Sea years ago, bringing back an egg now would make it hard to face his wife.
"Alright."
Lu Quanzhen looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Bi Lake Mountain before him with so emotion and nodded gently.
When he went to the Starry Sky Sea, the Bi Yun Peak spirit vein had not yet ascended to the Second Rank; the difference now was worlds apart.
However, thinking of his mother, he felt a bit emotional again.
He wondered if after decades, his mother would still be the sa as before...
Yet, before they could descend Bi Yun Peak, Lu Changsheng and Lu Quanzhen saw two erald-green escape lights flying towards Bi Yun Peak.
"Husband! Ling’er, Quanzhen!"
The ones coming were Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen.
Lu Miaoyun, possessing a family core array plate, sensed Lu Changsheng’s return via the Michen Banner imdiately.
While Qu Zhenzhen sensed the spiritual treasure’s qi chanism through her lifespan spiritual plant, the Auspicious Tree.
"Yun’er, Zhenzhen."
Lu Changsheng imdiately called out to the two won.
Beside him, Lu Quanzhen, Lu Linghe, Bai Ling, and others also opened their mouths to shout, "Greetings, Mother, Aunt!" .
"Greetings, Aunt!"
"Sister Yun, Sister Zhenzhen."
Only the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, with its golden hair tied high, scratched its head, unsure of what to call out in such a scene. It then scratched its head and cupped its hands, saying, "Greetings, Madam."
"Husband, you’re finally back..."
Looking at Lu Changsheng before them, the two won’s eyes turned red with longing.
Though they had conversed through the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, not seeing Lu Changsheng in person caused considerable worry.
"It’s my fault for making you worry."
Lu Changsheng said softly, moving forward to comfort the two won.
He often thought of returning ho, as there were many concerns there; he didn’t want his wife and children to worry about him.
Now, with so many people around, the two won did not indulge in much intimacy, nodding lightly, and walked with Lu Changsheng and the others toward the Lu Family Mansion.
"Husband, who is this?"
Lu Miaoyun looked at the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, a bit perplexed by its appearance.
Though the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng had just called her Madam, both she and Qu Zhenzhen had focused their attention on Lu Changsheng at that mont.
Watching the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s youthful form now, they even wondered if it was their husband’s child from elsewhere.
After all, Lu Changsheng had been away for so many years—it was quite reasonable for their son to be this old.
As for the non-human traits of the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, reminiscent of the Demon Race, the two won paid no heed.
Didn’t Lu Baixi and Bai Ling also possess non-human characteristics?
"This is Jin Peng."
Seeing the questioning look in his wife’s eyes, Lu Changsheng’s skin twitched, explaining it was indeed the golden peng bird beside him, now transford into human form.
"Husband, aren’t demon beasts supposed to transform into a human shape only after reaching the Fourth Rank?"
The two won were amazed as they examined the golden-haired youth, not guessing in the direction of a transford demon king, as such a notion was too astonishing.
"Yes, Jin Peng has advanced to the Fourth Rank, thus it can transform." Lu Changsheng said with a light laugh.
The two won were amazed again, their eyes full of curiosity as they examined the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
A transford demon king, even in books, was barely ntioned, let alone depicted or drawn.
"Huh, Quanzhen, you seem to have grown a lot taller."
At this ti, Qu Zhenzhen looked at her son, Lu Quanzhen, and suddenly said after scrutinizing him up and down, "But it seems you’ve also beco a bit slender."
Lu Changsheng: "..."
Lu Quanzhen: "..."
Both father and son were rendered speechless by this comnt.
They were unsure where Qu Zhenzhen perceived Lu Quanzhen to be slender.
"Aunt Zhenzhen, Brother Quanzhen was re-hatched by Father from an egg, so he grew taller."
Lu Linghe imdiately shared the amusing event with Qu Zhenzhen.
"Forgot to instruct Xiao He about this."
Lu Changsheng inwardly thought things weren’t going well. Then, father and son faced Qu Zhenzhen and Lu Miaoyun’s shocked gazes.
Lu Changsheng promptly explained, "Quanzhen was cultivating a divine skill at that ti. Look at Quanzhen, how could he be slender? He’s stronger than the average demon beast."
As he spoke, he patted his son’s shoulder, producing a low, tallic sound.
"There’s such a divine skill?"
Though both won were the main mothers of Bi Lake Mountain, they had access to many advanced-level sources, yet their knowledge was still limited, similar to curious kittens.
In this way, the family chatted and laughed as they made their way to the Lu Family Mansion.
Seeing Lu Changsheng finally return, Lu Miaoyun imdiately went to inform others.
She also told Lu Changsheng that Xiao Xiyue had arrived at Bi Lake Mountain several months ago and had been staying there, looking for him.
"..." Lu Changsheng instantly felt uneasy.
Although Xiao Xiyue would occasionally visit Bi Lake Mountain for a short stay, she didn’t particularly enjoy staying for extended periods.
Given he had been absent these days, and Xiao Xiyue had stayed for several months, it was clear that there was sothing important.
Yet, an important matter didn’t warrant a communication...
Lu Changsheng, already feeling sowhat guilty, instantly guessed Xiao Xiyue’s purpose for coming this ti.
Though Lu Ancestor might be out vanquishing Nascent Souls and slaying Fourth Rank Demon Kings, he always held a sense of respect for his family’s wives.
