Chapter 1189: Chapter 414: Devastation Flame, 20 Ninth Level Qi Refinement!_2 "Besides, there’s Qing Shan and Xuan’er." Lu Yuanding gazed at the figure before him, clad in green robes, with a handsome visage and the air of a humble gentleman - Lu Qingxuan, his eyes old and cloudy, revealing a touch of gratified amusement. His eldest grandson, Lu Qingshan, harbored a deep affection for Qingzhu Mountain, and with him there, it was certain that the mountain would receive protection should it face great peril in the future. The young grandson before him, Lu Qingxuan, had yet not come of age. But after asking his daughter Lu Miaoge, he knew this grandson possessed a Third-Grade Spiritual Root. With such talent, he believed that under Lu Changsheng’s tutelage, Xuan’er would certainly reach Foundation Establishment and make significant progress in his cultivation. Given Lu Qingxuan’s character, as long as there were no major breaches of principle within the family, he would not sit idly by and watch Qingzhu Mountain decline. So, not to speak of Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Ping’an and others, just these two grandsons alone could safeguard Qingzhu Mountain for two hundred years. "Two hundred years..." Lu Yuanding murmured to himself, imagining the day when his grandson, Lu Qingshan, would become a Nascent Soul Immortal. Although the chances of Lu Qingxuan, with his Third-Grade Spiritual Root, reaching Core Formation were slim, Given his son-in-law Lu Changsheng’s abilities, it was not impossible. Moreover, even if he did not become a Nascent Soul Immortal, there was still a considerable chance he would achieve False Core Immortal status in the future. "Grandfather, what’s the matter?" Lu Qingxuan, seeing his grandfather’s smiling gaze upon him, set down the book in hand and asked in a refined and elegant manner. "Nothing much, grandfather was just thinking about some happy things. Where has Qi’er gone?" Lu Yuanding, his aged face full of wrinkles, chuckled as he spoke. "Sister Wangshu came by yesterday, and sister went out to have fun with her." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎 Lu Qingxuan spoke in a gentle voice that felt as comforting as a spring breeze. Although his sister came to Qingzhu Mountain to accompany their grandfather, her active nature meant she often ran about here and there. "Xuan’er, you should also interact more with your siblings in the family..." Lu Yuanding gently advised his grandson. ... Hundred Birds Lake, Bai Family. "If Blue Lake Mountain can refine Foundation Establishment Elixirs, I wonder if there are any spare ones that our family could request." Upon hearing this news, Bai Yunyang, the Bai Family Ancestor, pondered to himself. Back then, when the four major families dominated and Yu Family of Bi Lake Mountain was replaced by the Lu Family, it has since become a renowned Foundation Establishment Clan within the Qingyun Region. Qingzhu Mountain, due to its connection with Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family, now also has three Foundation Establishment Cultivators as its stronghold. Wugong Ridge Zheng Family has been thoroughly reduced to a vassal of Yu Shui Xu Family. Despite their association with Blue Lake Mountain and Qingzhu Mountain and benefiting from their successes, the Hundred Birds Lake Bai Family has never been able to obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir. Over the past decades, there have been two people in the family who, supported by Meridian Protecting Elixirs and Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects, attempted to achieve Foundation Establishment, but both failed, leaving the whole family with only him as its guardian. Now, hearing this news, he thought about swallowing his pride and appealing to the goodwill of the two families for a Foundation Establishment Elixir. "Ah Ming, send a message to Feifei right away to verify this news," Bai Yunyang ordered. After saying this, he immediately stepped out of his Cave Mansion, adding, "No, I’ll personally go to Bi Lake Mountain." Many families had similar thoughts as Bai Yunyang. They all realized that if Blue Lake Mountain had such an Alchemist, they would have been secretly purchasing special Monster Cores over the years for refining Foundation Establishment Elixirs. Thus, they contemplated spending Spirit Stones or offering Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in exchange for a Foundation Establishment Elixir. ... Golden Dragon Ridge, Jin Family. "Blue Lake Mountain..." Upon hearing the news, the Patriarch of the Jin Family immediately convened a family meeting. Because he was acutely aware of the gravity of the situation. The Lu Family guaranteed a successful Pill Formation for one Pill. However, no one can be sure of the exact number of successful Pill Formations during the alchemical process. If there are two successful Pills, one of them would belong to Blue Lake Mountain. In this case, Blue Lake Mountain would essentially have a continuous source of Foundation Establishment Elixirs. Particularly when he learned that Blue Lake Mountain was willing to provide Loose Cultivators with a venue for Foundation Establishment, requiring only a payment of three thousand Spirit Stones, or to serve as a Visiting Noble Servant in the Lu Family. Such an offer is the dream of countless Loose Cultivators! If this continues, within a few years, the power of Blue Lake Mountain will likely soar at a terrifying rate. "Damn it, where did Lu Changsheng get this top-tier Alchemist from!" "With such an Alchemist, in at most twenty years, Blue Lake Mountain will grow into a behemoth!" "What to do, should we consider assassinating this Alchemist?" "How could Lu Changsheng not protect such an Alchemist well?" In the council hall, the Jin Family’s high-ranking members all wore grim expressions. Although Golden Dragon Ridge seemed to have no deep hatred with Blue Lake Mountain, Their past actions of suppression and provocation had already created grudges between the two families. This enmity was almost impossible to resolve. So they all understood that once Blue Lake Mountain’s strength amassed enough, they would certainly settle the old scores with the Jin Family. "Should we inform the Family Patriarch and have him make a decision?" Someone suggested at that moment. "No, the Family Patriarch is currently concentrating on nurturing his Magical Treasures. If he hears this news, I’m afraid...I’m afraid it will affect his cultivation..." The Patriarch of the Jin Family immediately rejected the suggestion. After their Family Patriarch was nearly overpowered by Demon Cultivators during his fight with Lu Changsheng and his wife, he was almost beset by a Heart Demon. Now, just hearing anything related to Lu Changsheng was enough to disturb his peace of mind. Hearing this news might truly drive him to ambush and kill Lu Changsheng or that Alchemist. "Damn it, if only our Family Patriarch hadn’t been killed by a Demon Cultivator, with two False Core Immortals from our Jin Family holding the fort, we wouldn’t have to fear a Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family!" A Jin Family elder spoke bitterly. The Jin Family collected resources for decades, finally waiting for Jin Zan to break through to False Core, bringing the family to its peak. But before they could start reveling in their newfound status, their Family Patriarch was killed by a Demon Cultivator in Huji Ridge, resulting in severe damage to the family’s vitality.
