Chapter 2069: Chapter 684: The Five Venoms Sect Hierarch’s Shock! (Part 3) The talent of Yan Lan before him is exceptional. As a loose cultivator, being able to reach this stage, her ability is beyond doubt, hence Lu Changsheng is also willing to support her. "Hmm... nine more years..." Yan Lan naturally knows what it means to be one hundred and fifty for a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator. Her heart suddenly trembled, and then she said in a low voice. Beside her, Yu Fei also shivered, her beautiful eyes filled with a mix of surprise and joy as she looked at her sister and Lu Changsheng. "Soon, the City Lord will hold a banquet, at which several Third Rank Demon Cores will be released. I’ll see if I can purchase one. You’ve devoted yourself to cultivation over the years, so prepare well." Lu Changsheng said softly to Yan Lan. Although her talent is good, her early years as a loose cultivator meant limited resources and an average foundation. Breaking through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage relied on the Second Rank Advanced Level Breakthrough Elixir given when proposing to Yu Fei, so the probability of breaking through to the True Elixir stage is slim. Unless she can fully obtain Coagulation Crystal Elixirs, Five Elements Spirit Fruit, and other Core Formation Spiritual Objects. However, with Yan Lan and Yu Fei being his concubines based on mutual benefits, he does not intend to exhaust resources on their cultivation. "Husband, this... won’t it be too expensive..." Yan Lan shuddered when she heard this, her face filled with both joy and trepidation as she said. To Lu Changsheng, a False Core is only average. But to her, a False Core is a luxury, something she can only dream of! Even knowing of Lu Changsheng’s status as a Third-rank Talisman Master and Vice City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, capable of acquiring Third Rank Demon Cores, she dared not hope for him to help her obtain one to break through to the False Core stage. After all, even if sold, she and her sister together wouldn’t be worth one Third Rank Demon Core. "As long as you can breakthrough, it won’t be a waste, but I cannot guarantee obtaining one." Lu Changsheng said with a smile, not making it seem too easy. "Thank you, Husband!" Despite that, Yan Lan still showed gratitude to the point of tears. Beside her, Yu Fei also showed her gratitude to Lu Changsheng through her actions. After all, her relationship with Yan Lan surpasses that of many biological sisters, and now seeing her sister having a chance to form the Core, she is happy for her. "If you want to express your gratitude, then have a few more children." Lu Changsheng turned over and stood up. He nurtures Yan Lan not just because she is his concubine and can be somewhat helpful after her breakthrough, but also because there are few of his wives and concubines who can conceive. After all, taking a Nascent Soul Female Cultivator as a concubine is very challenging, almost impossible, so he has to cultivate them himself. Upon hearing this, the two women immediately recalled the early rumors about their husband. Loving to marry and take concubines to have children... a house full of descendants. "Husband~" Yan Lan wasn’t fond of pregnancy, thinking one child was enough, but Yu Fei truly wanted to have more, hoping to give birth to children as gifted as Lu Ping’an, Lu Qingshan, and Lu Wangshu. However, over the years, opportunities to see Lu Changsheng were indeed limited. And with one being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and the other a Nascent Soul Cultivator, getting pregnant wasn’t that easy. For a while, the cave mansion was full of spring bliss. ... Due to other matters at hand, Lu Changsheng didn’t spend much time cultivating at Misty Rain Market. After living there for seven days, he returned to Bi Lake Mountain and began closed-door cultivation to reforge and upgrade his Life-bound Magic Treasure [Yin Yang Chart]. At the same time, news about the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm] spread from the Endless Wilderness to the Jiang Country, Yue Country, and other nearby countries. As a Nascent Soul Level Power of Jin Kingdom, the Five Poisons Cult Leader obtained the relevant information immediately. "Yangming True Master annihilated the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s Magic Body and killed the Purple Grey True Monarch!?" The Five Poisons Cult Leader, dressed in a luxurious purple-red gown and wearing a Silver Crown Hairpin, had a delicate and dignified face filled with shock. Having fought against Yangming True Master before, she had witnessed his power. He possessed numerous methods, comparable to a Nascent Soul Cultivator. The most astonishing part was his dual cultivation of magic, his Physical Body being immune to her mana’s poison. Otherwise, defeating her would come at a significant cost. But she never expected that in just a few years, Yangming True Master could kill Nascent Soul Cultivators, and consecutively at that. Especially with the Nascent Soul Spirit Body of the Purple Grey True Monarch also being destroyed. Although intelligence indicated that the Purple Grey True Monarch was slain through the collaboration of Yangming True Master and Azure Phoenix True Monarch, it still demonstrated his strength. "Even if breaking through from Core Formation Seventh Layer to Core Formation Ninth Layer, such an improvement is unlikely..." Since her mana origins were plundered by Lu Changsheng, Ayoudo knew when battling Yangming True Master, he was only Core Formation Seventh Layer. It was precisely because she knew that she was shocked. "Lord of the Holy Bright Dynasty..." Over the years, the Five Poisons Cult Leader often pondered whether Yangming True Master deceived her back then. After all, the notion of being the ruler of the Central State Emperor, reincarnation cultivation, Supreme Dragon Emperor Dao Body, Yin Yang Great Dao, Great Dao Nascent Soul, each sounded more fantastical, unbelievable than the last. She combed through numerous ancient texts but found no related records. But with the spread of this news, Ayoudo believed. Fully believed without a shred of doubt! After all, an ordinary Nascent Soul Old Monster undergoing possession reincarnation definitely couldn’t achieve such feats of counter-killing Nascent Soul True Lords with Core Formation, let alone killing two. Only an existence that transcends the Nascent Soul level, a Deity of Transformation! "According to the information, the Lord used some sort of Life Burning Secret Technique at that time, I’m not sure if the situation is dangerous now..." Even though intelligence suggested Yangming True Master possibly harbored admiration for Azure Phoenix True Monarch, becoming her devoted servant, hence risking his life to act, Ayoudo speculated the true motive behind Yangming True Master’s actions. Supreme Dragon Emperor Dao Body! Supreme Yin Yang Great Dao! He wished to leverage Azure Phoenix True Monarch to cultivate the Dragon Emperor Dao Body, Yin Yang Great Dao. "The Lord is a Deity of Transformation, the reincarnated ruler of the Holy Bright Dynasty, it’s impossible he’d risk his life for a woman." The Five Poisons Cult Leader gazed at the Message Jade Scroll in her hand, pondering for a moment before saying: "Summon someone, pass down my order: from today onward, seal the mountain gate, report any movements to me immediately!" Back then, she and Yangming True Master left Myriad Demon Abyss together and were seen by Ming Sha True Monarch, who then spread word of their presence. Although it didn’t substantially impact her, with Yangming True Master causing such an uproar now, there’s a high possibility that Nascent Soul Cultivators would seek him through her. Not even mentioning the distant future, Ming Sha True Monarch certainly wouldn’t let Yangming True Master go. Especially with Yangming True Master killing the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, antagonizing Beast God Mountain, and Ming Sha True Monarch maintaining close ties with Beast God Mountain. Under such circumstances, she must also enhance her caution to the utmost. Leaving the grand hall, looking at the Five Poisons Cult before her, she inexplicably felt a surge of longing for Yangming True Master. Yet, considering he might now be dual cultivating the Yin Yang Great Dao with Azure Phoenix True Monarch, she was filled with a pang of jealousy. The Five Poisons Cult Leader felt a sudden pause in her heart, recognizing that this was the influence of the Seven Absolute Love Gu on her. Though the two were far apart, and she could suppress these emotions, she inevitably continued to be affected. Especially after seeing the intelligence on Yangming True Master slaying Nascent Soul, uncontrollable emotions welled up in her heart. But, contemplating Yangming True Master’s condition, she decided not to suppress this emotion. Knowing that once suppressed, unless she removed the Love Gu, upon meeting again, these feelings would surge like a tide. ..... Unlike the Five Poisons Cult Leader, Yin Ming Ghost Sect, and Heavenly Corpse Sect Master were dumbfounded upon seeing the news. Especially Yinming Ghost King. After Ming Sha True Monarch returned, he immediately went into closed-door training to recuperate, instructing Yinming Ghost King to gather information on Yangming True Master and Azure Phoenix True Monarch, without knowing secretive details. Who would have thought, Yangming True Master was so fierce, slaying two Nascent Soul True Monarchs consecutively in [Vast Sand Illusion Realm], and was so close with Azure Phoenix True Monarch? What if the two recuperated or broke through to Nascent Soul and came to Yin Ming Ghost Sect for revenge? He immediately visited Ming Sha True Monarch to inquire about the situation, wondering if the intelligence could be false. "Our Heavenly Corpse Sect doesn’t seem to have a grudge with this Yangming True Master..." Although the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master had initially wanted to kill Yangming True Master, after seeing this intelligence, he shelved the idea. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶 Unless Yangming True Master was seriously injured and besieged by many, he’d opt to deal the finishing blow. Otherwise, he absolutely wouldn’t wish to deepen the enmity.
