Chapter 1953: Chapter 648: The Deeply Disturbing Azure Phoenix True Monarch When Lu Qingshan and Lu Chensha, along with Canglang Zhenren, arrived at White Tiger Mountain, Lu Xuanyu and the Nine Netherhound sensed the Core Formation spirit pressure and immediately rode the escape light out. "What a fierce beast!" Seeing the Nine Netherhound, pitch-black all over, with a huge and robust body, and a terrifyingly savage head, Canglang Zhenren’s eyes lit up, and he immediately exclaimed in admiration. As a cultivator of the Spirit Taming Sect who had been exposed to beast taming since childhood, he could discern a lot from mere appearance, body shape, and looks. Especially since his life-bound beast was a Canglang, he had a better understanding of wolf clan demon beasts. "This demon evil qi..." Lu Qingshan also narrowed his eyes, realizing that this spiritual beast of theirs was no simple creature, surpassing the Flame Lion he had slain. "Uncle Chensha..." Lu Xuanyu bowed slightly to Lu Chensha, then looked at Lu Qingshan and Canglang Zhenren with a look of astonishment. Though he had seen Lu Qingshan before, the presence of the Core Formation spirit pressure was so subtle that it made him hesitant to recognize him. "This is Brother Qingshan, Lu Qingshan. He previously joined Yue Country’s Jinyang Sect, so he’s rarely at home. This time he broke through to Core Formation and returned home, having heard that Jiuyou broke through the Third Rank, he’s come to take a look." "This is Canglang Zhenren of the Spirit Taming Sect. Upon hearing about Jiuyou’s situation, he wanted to see it for himself, so Auntie ordered me to bring the true person over..." Lu Chensha immediately spoke up to introduce and explain their purpose. "Uncle Qingshan, Lu Qingshan!" Hearing that this Nascent Soul cultivator was truly Lu Qingshan, Lu Xuanyu was shocked, and quickly bowed in respect: "Lu Xuanyu pays respects to Uncle Qingshan, and to Canglang Zhenren." Then he gestured invitingly and said, "This is Jiuyou." Jiuyou, as a Third Rank Demon King with certain spiritual intelligence, merely glanced softly when hearing the two’s intentions, without making any move. However, Canglang Zhenren could sense a ferocious intent in the eyes of the Nine Netherhound. "This demon king is unexpectedly obedient toward a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Lu Family, without an ounce of demon king dignity, and when it looks at me, there’s obvious hostility. Yet, toward this Lu Qingshan and Lu Chensha, there’s no hostility at all." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 "Could it be that this demon beast distinguishes friend from foe through the Lu Family’s bloodline?" Canglang Zhenren was filled with a perplexing urge to thoroughly observe and inquire into the situation of the Nine Netherhound. Yet, the Qi mechanism of this demon king caught him off guard, and with a Lu Family sword cultivator who could slay a Third Rank Demon King by his side, it was indeed inconvenient to ask much. Thus, under such circumstances, he entered White Tiger Mountain, asked a few questions about the Nine Netherhound, and then presented three bottles of elixir medicines suitable for demon beasts as a thank-you gift before taking his leave. Lu Qingshan watched as Canglang Zhenren departed on the controlling divine rainbow, chuckled lightly, and then asked, "Xuanyu, are Little Bamboo and Little Xi over here?" Lu Xuanyu, knowing he was referring to his aunts Lu Qingzhu and Lu Qingqi, said that they had stayed briefly in White Tiger Mountain but had now gone to Flower Fruit Mountain. "Alright." Lu Qingshan didn’t attempt to bond with the Nine Netherhound but instead transformed into a sword light directly, heading to Flower Fruit Mountain in search of his sisters. Upon arriving at Flower Fruit Mountain, he saw Lu Qingzhu and Lu Qingqi picking fruits alongside Meng Xiaochan, Lu Linghe, and the three sisters. "Brother! Brother!" Lu Qingzhu and Lu Qingqi, delighted to see Lu Qingshan, rushed towards him excitedly. After catching up with his sisters for a while, Lu Qingshan noticed Meng Xiaochan and the others, his eyes narrowing slightly. Although Meng Xiaochan’s mana and qi mechanism were hidden, making it difficult for ordinary people to discern her cultivation level, as a top-level sword cultivator with sword heart clarity and extraordinary spiritual sense, Lu Qingshan immediately identified her as a Nascent Soul cultivator. Moreover, her mana and qi mechanism seemed somewhat unusual. "Why is there a Nascent Soul cultivator in Flower Fruit Mountain?" Lu Qingshan felt a bit surprised in his heart, then glanced at the eleven or twelve-year-old girl beside him, whose face was as exquisite as a porcelain doll. Though merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she emanated an inexplicably mystical aura. Lu Qingzhu introduced Meng Xiaochan to him, saying this was Auntie Meng Xiangzi, and these three were his sisters Lu Linghe, Lu Baixi, Lu Mengchan. "..." Lu Qingshan was well aware of his father’s situation. After being away from home for decades, coming back to find a bunch of siblings he didn’t recognize was quite normal. What he didn’t expect was to encounter a single Nascent Soul auntie on a visit to Flower Fruit Mountain. If he visited a few more places and stayed at home for a year or two, wouldn’t he encounter eight or ten Nascent Soul aunties? "Alright." Despite not being naturally outgoing, Lu Qingshan didn’t behave too distantly either. He slightly bowed to Meng Xiaochan and then took out some trinkets from his storage ring as greeting gifts for the three sisters. Of the three, Lu Linghe was the most cheerful and outgoing, while one other kept a cold face, unwelcoming to strangers, and another was timid and shy. Fortunately, Lu Qingzhu and Lu Qingqi were quite familiar with the three, making the introductions for them. ... The next day, the news of the Lu family’s wandering son, Lu Qingshan, breaking through to Core Formation and slaying a Third Rank Demon King to celebrate his family’s prestige spread like a hurricane, sparking widespread discussion. If this had happened to an ordinary family power, people would have at most marveled and remarked that the family had produced a dragon, a true dragon emerging from a pond. But this happened in the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, leaving many family forces dumbfounded. Not long ago, a Third Rank Demon King appeared in the Bi Lake Mountain Lu Family, shocking countless people. Only two or three months later, another Nascent Soul cultivator emerged from the Lu Family, also bearing the battle record of slaying a Third Rank Demon King. What on earth was this? Even if your Lu Family had great fortune, with your ancestral tombs glowing, there should still be a limit, right? Although the influence of the pioneering wars and the Liangyue War has led to more Nascent Soul cultivators in Jiang Country in recent years compared to earlier times, this Lu Family situation is simply outrageous.
