Chapter 366: The Lu Family Generations, Hope for the Enlightenment Gu! (3)

“Lanshu, Zi’er, Qing’er, you just need to oversee everything sufficiently,”

Lu Changsheng said upon hearing this.

He spent most of his time away from Ruyi Prefecture; he simply couldn’t attend to these children’s marriages.

He could only leave the arrangements to his wife Lu Lanshu and the others.

“Yes, my husband,”

The ladies, upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, immediately informed him of some arrangements for the children.

Lu Ping’an, standing by, revealed a touch of bitterness in his eyes upon hearing the marital arrangements made by his mother.

But he said nothing.

“Ping’an, come with me,”

After finishing the discussion, Lu Changsheng looked at his son, Lu Ping’an, and said.

As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he had seen the change in his son’s expression.

He saw the longing and envy in his eyes when he stood proudly on the Spirit Boat, yearning for cultivation.

The hint of bitterness when Lu Lanshu talked about marriage.

“Father, what is it?”

The two went to a side hall where Lu Ping’an respectfully looked at Lu Changsheng, not knowing what his father wanted to say.

“Tell your father, what have you learned from your experiences over these years?”

Lu Changsheng leaned back in his chair, propping his cheek with one hand, the other tapping lightly on the armrest.

“During my first year, under Grandpa Li’s arrangements, I was with the Crimson Whale Gang…. In the second year…”

Lu Ping’an immediately began speaking upon hearing his father’s words, recounting his experiences.

But when he mentioned Qin Yi, his voice clearly stumbled.

After all, it was somewhat embarrassing to talk about such matters with his father.

Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to lie to his father.

“Do you like this girl?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow at this and asked directly.

“Ah, this, this….”

Lu Ping’an, caught off guard by his father’s direct question, was momentarily stunned.

The image of a cold-faced, black-clothed girl emerged in his mind.

Then, somewhat embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, “I don’t like her.”

“At your age, if you like someone, say you like them; if not, say not.”

“What’s with the shilly-shallying?”

Lu Changsheng spoke irritably upon seeing his son’s demeanor.

He himself was a man of great affection.

How had his son turned out to be so simple in this regard?

“Do you feel that she, as a cultivator, is out of your league?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son and pressed on.

“I do not.”

Lu Ping’an pursed his lips, his voice sounding somewhat muffled.

“Do you feel that, because you lack a Spiritual Root, you two ultimately belong to different worlds, so you don’t want to hold her back?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly and continued to inquire.

“Yes.”

Lu Ping’an fell silent for a moment, his lips pinched together, he replied solemnly,

his mood decidedly downcast.

“Sigh.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son and shook his head slightly.

Although the years of experience had broadened his horizons, his nature remained somewhat naive.

But one can’t just change their personality overnight.

Looking at Lu Ping’an, he said, “Do you want to cultivate?”

Since his son still harbored thoughts of cultivation, he would then give the Hope Gu to Lu Ping’an.

It would be pointless to keep it otherwise.

As for how to explain it to others, he had already thought it through.

When the Lu Family tested Lu Ping’an for a Spiritual Root initially, they didn’t detect anything.

Because he thought carefully, the natural treasures that could give birth to a Spiritual Root were exceedingly rare, and ordinary people would not consider this possibility at all. ɽÄ₦Ő𝖇Êṥ

Furthermore, it was true that in the Cultivation World, there are cases where the Spiritual Root cannot be detected until adulthood.

So now that Lu Ping’an has been detected to have a Spiritual Root, it is acceptable.

“Hmm?”

Lu Ping’an was startled by this news and did not understand.

“Do you want to cultivate or not? Tell me the truth!”

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

“Yes!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an looked into his father’s eyes, pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice.

“Why do you want to cultivate?”

Lu Changsheng tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest and asked, “Do you want to cultivate and then pursue that young girl?”

“No, I haven’t.”

Lu Ping’an immediately shook his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

But looking into his father’s eyes, he took a deep breath and said resolutely, “It’s just… I just want to cultivate, to become a cultivator like you.”

Lu Changsheng looked into his son’s eyes upon hearing this.

He still remembered, fifteen years ago, the six-year-old Lu Ping’an, his eyes brimming with hope as he looked at him.

“Dad, does not having a Spiritual Root mean that one cannot become a cultivator? I also want to become a cultivator like you!”

He still remembered that sentence.

But at that time, he could only respond without words.

“Step forward.”

Lu Changsheng nodded his head.

In his palm, a thumb-sized Hope Gu, like a ball of light, appeared.

The Hope Gu could open the minds of mortals, giving birth to a Spiritual Root!

As for the quality of the born Spiritual Root, it varied from person to person.

“Hmm?”

Lu Ping’an, upon hearing this, was somewhat puzzled.

But still, he obediently stepped forward, standing in front of his father.

“Whoosh!”

In an instant, the ball of light in Lu Changsheng’s hand shot out like a beam, swiftly entering Lu Ping’an’s body.

“Boom!”

The moment the ball of light entered his body, Lu Ping’an felt as if he heard a thunderous sound.

An awe-inspiring mystery surged throughout his body.

As an Innate Martial Artist, an Innate Grandmaster, his muscles tensed, his hairs stood on end, and his Mental Spirit was pulled taut like a bowstring at this moment.

Had it not been for the fact that it was his father in front of him, such an action would have instinctively made him strike out.

But the next moment, he saw endless light spreading within his body.

This light made his body heavy, as if bearing thousands of pounds, with an indescribable pressure.

“Hold on!”

Just then, a voice rang out in his mind.

It was the voice of his father, Lu Changsheng.

Although Lu Ping’an did not understand what was happening.

But upon hearing his father’s words, he mustered all his strength and clenched his teeth to endure.

Allowing the light to spread within his body, he felt heavier and heavier, as his insides roared, and his bones seemed to also ‘creak and groan.’

“Hold on!”

Lu Changsheng said in a grave tone.

The child’s Spiritual Root Talent would be added to his own.

Therefore, he could clearly feel the Hope Gu opening Lu Ping’an’s mind.

The longer Lu Ping’an held on, the higher the quality of the Spiritual Root would be after the opening!

But according to the Spiritual Root enhancement transmitted, the enhancement of the Spiritual Root that the Hope Gu could provide was indeed limited and the effect very poor.

According to the current enhancement being transmitted from Lu Ping’an, he only had a Lower Grade Spiritual Root.
