Chapter 2410: Chapter 798: Xiao Xiyue: So You Really Have Something Going On with Master! (Part 2)

With her mother’s instructions, she had thought to pay more attention to Lu Shouzheng.

However, he was very independent, and after applying for a spiritual bird, he spent every day between the academy, meal hall, library, and his residence over the years.

During this period, whenever they greeted Lu Shouzheng, he would always respond with polite bows, but he never wished to blend in with them, living his own life.

"This matter is due to my failure to be responsible as a father."

Lu Changsheng softly said, always knowing he could not care for each of his children equally.

It is for this reason that he tried his best to improve the family’s welfare, as compensation to his children.

"How are the preparations for your Core Formation going?"

He noticed that the daughter standing before him was at the Foundation Establishment Peak, ready to attempt Core Formation at any moment.

But upon observing, he also detected something amiss, and asked, "Where is your Profound Origin Bead?"

Years ago, he had given his daughter a piece of exotic treasure, the Profound Origin Bead, serving like a second dantian for cultivators, with the effects of storing and enhancing mana.

But judging from her current mana, he realized that the Profound Origin Bead was likely not with her.

"My preparations are almost complete, and I plan to attempt Core Formation next year. As for the Profound Origin Bead, I don’t need it at the moment, so I gave it to Qing Xuan."

Lu Wangshu said so.

Having borne the Profound Origin Bead for years, she knew clearly the role of this exotic treasure.

Therefore, when Lu Qingxuan and others went to the frontline of war, she lent the treasure to him.

Of course, they agreed that Lu Qingxuan would give her thirty percent of his gains upon his return from the frontline.

"Alright, I too have something for you later."

Seeing his daughter’s expression, Lu Changsheng understood her worry and distress over Lu Qingxuan and others heading to the frontline battlefield.

If he were home, he would have considered helping Lu Qingxuan achieve Core Formation first, rather than going to the frontline battlefield.

Thinking of his son Lu Qingxuan, he paused for a moment, calculated, and sensed that he would encounter a trial of fortune.

If he overcame it, he could advance further; if not, he faced the risk of falling.

It’s not just Lu Qingxuan.

Daughters like Lu Ruyi, sons like Lu Chensha are in the same situation.

The battlefield is ever-changing, with no absolute danger nor absolute safety, nor prosperity.

Due to his son Lu Shouzheng’s situation, thinking of Lu Miaoge, Chu Qingyi, Lu Qingxuan, and others on the frontline battlefield, Lu Changsheng felt heavy-hearted, discussing mundane matters with his wife and recounting his experiences while away.

Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and others were anxious hearing about Lu Changsheng’s experiences in the Starry Sky Sea, contending with numerous Nascent Souls, falling into the Sealing Demon Land, and more.

They hadn’t expected that their husband had undergone so many hardships over the years while away.

Afraid of bringing danger back home, he dared not even return home.

"Husband, you’ve had a hard time these years."

Lu Miaoyun held Lu Changsheng’s hand, her eyes red as she spoke.

As Lu Changsheng’s wife from early years, she knew her husband always hid his worries behind a facade of good news, shouldering everything himself.

Given that he returned after so many years out, the dangers he faced were imaginable.

Especially since her husband had yet to reach the Nascent Soul stage, yet still clashed with Nascent Souls.

She recalled, during the pioneering war, when Lu Changsheng fought with the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master, looking pale and weak afterward. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Not only Lu Miaoyun, but Xiao Xiyue, Lu Wangshu, and others also noticed the concern, understanding their husband, father had reasons for being away so long.

During this process, from Lu Miaoyun, Lu Changsheng learned more about the Lu Family’s current situation.

For instance, daughter-in-law Qin Yi attempted Core Formation at Bi Yun Peak last year, reporting back to the Heavenly Sword Sect six months ago.

And over the years, facing pressure from Qingyun Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect, the Lu Family made some strategic adjustments.

Such as slowing breakthroughs at the Foundation Establishment, and being more rigorous about the requirements for attempting Foundation Establishment.

"Since Jing’er already reached the Ninth Level Foundation Establishment, and has almost completed the Yuan Yu Five Viscera Technique, give her this Coagulation Crystal Elixir."

Early on, when visiting the Starry Sky Sea, Lu Changsheng gave Red Lian five Coagulation Crystal Elixirs.

One was used by son Lu Lingxiao, one awarded to daughter Lu Wangshu as a Hidden Abyss Secret Realm reward.

The remaining three, one given to Bai Ling for breakthrough, one given to Lu Miaoyun for her to manage.

However, because the Coagulation Crystal Elixirs were rare, Lu Miaoyun preferred to allocate them to the Lu bloodline.

Like Lu Qingxuan, Lu Xingchen, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingyu, and Lu Xuanqian, Lu Xuanchong and other Lu Family disciples with potential for Core Formation.

Though Wang Yanjing also had Core Formation potential, she was reluctant to give it away and decided to wait and see.

But Lu Changsheng did not mind.

He had three Jade Marrow Gold Ganoderma, which could be used to refine elixirs anytime.

Moreover, at the Starry Sky Sea, he acquired one Coagulation Crystal Elixir at an auction, so wasn’t lacking in them currently.

Since the daughter-in-law had potential for Core Formation and had blessed the Lu Family with a grandson with exceptional talent like Lu Xuanqian, he wouldn’t be stingy.

Seeing Lu Changsheng handing such a Coagulation Crystal Elixir to herself, Xia Zhizue was surprised, confused, and stunned, then respectfully bowed: "I thank you on behalf of Xingchen and Jing’er, husband."

Though Lu Changsheng raised her from a concubine to a wife.

Yet, in terms of status, she still fell short compared to Lu Miaoyun and others.

"The Coagulation Crystal Elixir is precious, perhaps you should give it to Jing’er personally, husband."

Xia Zhizue said, somewhat daunted to accept such a rare elixir.

"Very well, I’ll go and see them later."

Lu Changsheng nodded gently.

Since he was back, he naturally wanted to check on his children at home.

After much conversation, he and a few wives wandered the Bi Lake Mountain, overseeing the family and visiting each child.

"Greetings, Father!"
