The Service Hall, responsible for the many miscellaneous affairs within the family, had a rather ordinary status within the Lu Family, thus its location was at the lowest part of the Lu Family’s blessed land.
After concluding the matter, Lu Zhi led Lu Qingshan out of the Service Hall and continued walking up along the Mihe River.
A mont later, they entered the core buildings of the Lu Family.
The surrounding houses with their carved beams and jade pillars were much more exquisite than the previous buildings.
Most importantly, the Spiritual Energy around them beca increasingly abundant and rich.
All the descendants of the Lu Family who hadn’t passed the Spirit Root test but had succeeded in perceiving and cultivating Spiritual Power on their own were assigned to the Outer Hall.
The number of people in the Outer Hall was imnse, as one could imagine.
Therefore, the status of the Outer Hall within the Lu Family was considerably significant.
Lu Zhi originated from the Outer Hall.
Lu Zhi, leading Lu Qingshan, entered the architectural complex of the Outer Hall, and their passage was unobstructed.
Until they reached a grand hall with a family hall na plate hung up, Lu Zhi stopped.
"I’ll wait outside for you. Just go in and follow the instructions of Elder Lu. Once everything is concluded, you’ll be a mber of the Lu Family’s Outer Hall," Lu Zhi instructed in detail.
Lu Qingshan nodded and stepped into the family hall.
Inside the family hall, Lu Qingshan t the elder who was responsible for guiding the Lu Family descendants into the Lu Family’s blessed land.
He was an old man in a blue robe with a white beard.
Lu Zhi had already introduced him to Lu Qingshan in advance.
The elder was nad Lu Yong’an, at the Golden Core Middle Stage, and was already over one hundred and ninety years old, making him exceedingly long-lived among the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
After asking about Lu Qingshan’s purpose, Lu Yong’an handed over a roster for Lu Qingshan to fill out his personal information.
It included detailed information such as na, background, Spirit Root aptitude, and ti of perceiving.
Lu Qingshan carefully completed his information on the roster and then returned it to Lu Yong’an.
Lu Yong’an took the roster and casually began to check the information Lu Qingshan had filled out.
When he saw the entry for background where Lu Qingshan had written that he was the son of Lu Bei, a trace of surprise flashed through Lu Yong’an’s murky eyes.
It’s no wonder he’s Qing Ling the real person. There are already three of his progeny in the Outer Hall, and now another one arrives," Lu Yong’an muttered to himself.
Lu Bei, one of the three Golden Core Cultivators in the Lu Family, known as Qing Ling the Real Person.
Lu Bei was the most talented and powerful cultivator among all the descendants of this generation in the Lu Family.
Among the three Golden Core Cultivators in the Lu Family, Lu Bei was the youngest, just over sixty years old, yet his Cultivation had already reached the Golden Core Middle Stage.
The other two Golden Core Cultivators, the Family Head who was at the Golden Core Early Stage, was over two hundred and fifty years old.
The Great Elder was also at the Golden Core Early Stage, and was nearly four hundred years old now.
From this, one can see that at least in Zhenjiang Prefecture, it’s not an exaggeration to describe Lu Bei as a prodigy.
Golden Core life span is five hundred years, and a Golden Core Cultivator in their sixties is indeed very young.
The people of the Lu Family considered Lu Bei the hope for the rejuvenation of the Lu Family, feeling that Lu Bei had the potential to reach Nascent Soul.
But what surprised everyone was,
High-rank cultivators, logically, mostly focused deeply on cultivation, with their minds solely on Cultivation.
—If one didn’t have such a Dao heart, how could they achieve success in cultivation?
However, Lu Bei, such a favored son of heaven, with such cultivation, inexplicably had a great fondness for won, naturally flirtatious.
Yet the oddity lay in the fact that although Lu Bei fancied won, he never indulged in taking supplents or practiced dual cultivation, nor did he unscrupulously indulge in pleasures using his strength.
"Food and sex are also nature; thus, a gentleman loves beauty but in a principled way."
This was the principle upheld by Lu Bei.
If others were to behave in such a way, they would naturally be disliked.
However, as Lu Bei was the strongest cultivator in the Lu Family and the future Family Head, his status and power were apparent.
Furthermore, Lu Bei didn’t place much importance on so-called blood relations.
Thus, the family didn’t need to bias resources towards his progeny, and so Lu Bei’s flamboyant actions didn’t interfere with the family’s interests.
Without any conflict of interest, Lu Bei’s behavior beca a remarkable tale in the eyes of others.
...
Putting these thoughts aside, Lu Yong’an continued reading.
There was nothing much problematic.
Finally, after verifying the information, Lu Yong’an released a Divine Sense towards Lu Qingshan.
Although the possibility of deceit in this matter was very low, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.
Lu Yong’an needed to confirm that Lu Qingshan had indeed successfully sensed the Spiritual Energy, cultivated Spiritual Power, and beco a cultivator.
Snap—
Suddenly, Lu Yong’an’s hand involuntarily loosened, and the registry in his hand fell onto the table, making a crisp sound.
"Qi Refinent tenth level?!" Lu Yong’an exclaid.
Your adventure continues at .Côm
For soone of his age, who was usually very composed, such behavior showed the extent of his astonishnt.
Lu Qingshan seed to have anticipated Lu Yong’an’s reaction and remained calm and composed.
Lu Yong’an released his Divine Sense again and scanned Lu Qingshan several more tis, but the result remained unchanged.
He hurriedly picked up the registry Lu Qingshan had filled out.
In the section where it asked when he first sensed the Spiritual Energy, it clearly stated "three months ago."
Three months, Qi Refinent tenth level?
How was that possible.
Lu Yong’an had never heard of such an absurdity.
Even Lu Bei, who was recognized by the Lu Family as the most likely to achieve the Nascent Soul, had taken five years to progress from sensing Spiritual Energy to the tenth level of Qi Refinent.
"You claim you sensed the Spiritual Energy just before March?" Lu Yong’an asked incredulously.
"Yes," Lu Qingshan nodded in confirmation.
Lu Yong’an’s expression darkened, "Do you realize the consequences if you are deceiving ?
At your age, having the cultivation of Qi Refinent tenth level, no matter how much ti it took, you would receive the family’s favor and a tilt in resources toward you—don’t mislead yourself."
Lu Qingshan spread his hands, "Elder Lu, if you don’t believe , you can go and investigate. My experiences in Mihe Town are clear for all to see, and they all leave tracks."
Lu Yong’an, facing Lu Qingshan’s calm and composed deanor, remained silent for a long ti before slowly standing up.
"Stay seated here, and wait for a mont," he said.
This matter was of great importance, and he had to report to the true decision-makers in the family.
The best scenario would be that everything was true, with no tricks involved. That would an the Lu Family might very likely have another mber with better qualifications than Lu Bei.
That would also be a top-priority event for the Lu Family.
But if there was deceit involved, then it would even more necessitate a decision from a Golden Core Cultivator.
Without further delay, Lu Yong’an imdiately left the Hall of Nas, activated his Flying Spell, and headed straight up the mountain.
Inside the Hall of Nas, only Lu Qingshan remained.
Lu Qingshan, however, remained unhurried and calm.
He had anticipated such a scenario might arise.
Indeed, if Lu Yong’an had not noticed his Qi Refinent tenth level cultivation, he would have found a way to reveal it.
