“Moreover, I have already investigated;
this girl is not just putting on a show or going through the motions—she checks thoroughly every ti.”
The Zhao Family Patriarch thus spoke.
“What is this girl’s na, and is there a way to bribe her?”
The Zhao Family Ancestor continued to inquire.
“This woman is nad Lu Ruyi and is the daughter of Lu Changsheng’s concubine.”
“The Lu Family of Blue Lake Mountain is famously generous toward the family’s disciples. It may not be easy to bribe this woman.”
...
A serious expression appeared on the Zhao Family Patriarch’s face.
“Lu Ruyi?”
The Zhao Family Ancestor heard the na but did not rember anything particular about it.
Being the Zhao Family Ancestor, he was familiar with the situation at Blue Lake Mountain.
However, Lu Changsheng had too many children to keep track of them all.
He mainly rembered that the Lu family once had two Fourth Grade Spiritual Root talents, nad Lu Qingxuan and Lu Wangshu.
Then, the person in charge of the Lu Family’s Puppet Factory seed to be… Lu Xianzhi.
“If this woman is not yet married, send soone to test the waters and make contact with her.”
“If it seems feasible, go to Blue Lake Mountain to propose a marriage and see if we can tie her to our Zhao family.”
The Zhao Family Ancestor spoke gravely.
Their family had suffered heavy losses in the battle at Blackwater Pool years ago.
Not only had a Foundation Establishnt Ancestor died, but several Foundation Establishnt seeds as well.
Over the years, he vigorously supported and nurtured new blood, and gradually the family situation improved.
However, this also caused the family to be caught in a financial crunch.
If they could develop this Spirit Stone mine, it would not only relieve the family’s situation but also provide the finances to cultivate new Foundation Establishnt Cultivators!
…
Blue Lake Mountain.
Lu Family Mansion.
“Dad, these are our family’s Immortal Seedlings from the Xuan generation this year.”
Lu Qingsong had gone to Ruyi Prefecture for the Spirit Root Testing Ceremony and brought back the Lu family’s disciples who possessed Spiritual Roots to Blue Lake Mountain.
“Greetings, Grandfather!”
The two from the Lu Family’s Xuan generation greeted Lu Changsheng with respect.
Their eyes were sowhat curious as they sized up the grandfather before them.
They had heard from their parents that their own grandfather was an Immortal, and now they could also undertake Cultivation.
“What are your nas?”
Lu Changsheng asked the two children softly.
“I am Lu Xuanchan, and I am Lu Xuanyu.”
The two children crisply responded.
“Xuanchan, Xuanyu.”
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, asked a few simple questions, and then had his son, Lu Yun, settle the two children.
As ti passed, now and then an Immortal Seedling would appear among the worldly descendants of the Lu family.
This year, producing two was considered quite good.
After all, the total number of the Lu family’s third generation had reached one hundred ninety-seven, almost equal to the number of his children.
But among these one hundred ninety-three children, only thirteen were Spiritual Root children.
Moreover, nine out of these thirteen were from Blue Lake Mountain, born to Lu Yun, Lu Xianzhi, and others.
One can only say that with both parents being mortals, birthing a Spiritual Root is extrely difficult.
They could only rely on the large numbers to luck out a few.
A month later.
Lu Changsheng, recalling the Thunder Gangyan in his System Space, expressed that he sensed sothing and was ready to enter Closed-door Cultivation for a period.
Naturally, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and others had no objections.
After all, this is the daily routine of most Cultivators.
Like Lu Miaoge who often entered Closed-door Cultivation, sotis staying in his Cave Mansion for ten days or half a month.
For Lu Changsheng, spending most of his days leisurely and accompanying his wives and children was really an anomaly among Cultivators.
“Extract!”
In the Changsheng Hall, inside his Cave Mansion, Lu Changsheng looked at the System Space and silently uttered a command.
Imdiately, a palm-sized purple-red fla appeared in mid-air, exuding an intense heat.
As it burned and tumbled, it seed as though a purple Thunder Snake was moving through the fla, wildly and terrifyingly, causing significant distortions in the space around the fla.
“Deserving of a Third Rank Heavenly Spiritual Fire, truly terrifying like this!”
Lu Changsheng slightly stepped back, marveling at the Thunder Gangyan before him.
From the System’s information on the Thunder Gangyan, he knew that if he could refine this Thunder Gangyan, his combat power would increase by a level, giving him an additional thod.
However, such a Heavenly Spiritual Fire that had developed a sentience was not easy to refine and subdue.
“It’s good that I have an edge!”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
Next, he took out a Magical Sword Artifact and forcefully slashed his palm, causing blood to flow and cover his hand.
“Co on, little guy!”
Lu Changsheng’s Mana flowed, enveloping his hand as he slowly extended it into the Thunder Gangyan.
Even though the Thunder Gangyan had a sentient consciousness and no intention to harm him,
just the innate power of the fla made his palm burn and sting, as if his skin was against a red-hot iron.
“Damn! If it weren’t for my breakthrough to the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, possessing the Profound Origin Bead, and having Mana comparable to a False Core, even with the System’s help, it would be impossible to refine such a Third Rank fla!”
Lu Changsheng felt the scorching pain in his palm and sharply inhaled.
If it weren’t for the System’s information about the Thunder Gangyan giving him confidence and knowing he could refine it, he would definitely have given up.
The Thunder Gangyan, sensing Lu Changsheng’s pain, the purple snake within started to draw his fresh blood.
As it absorbed the blood, the burning fla gradually diminished until it condensed into a thumb-sized purple-red Origin Fla Seed!
This was the Origin Fla Seed of the Thunder Gangyan!
From the information in the System, Lu Changsheng knew that when the Thunder Gangyan initially ford, it was nearly the size of half a mountain.
Only through continuous condensation did it gradually take this shape.
Only then could it truly be called a Heavenly Spiritual Fire!
“The real test of skill has arrived.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the thumb-sized fla seed in his hand, his eyelids twitching.
