Lu Yuanzhong, who had always been stationed at the Red Leaf Valley Market, also came back.
After greetings were exchanged, Lu Changsheng tousled his daughterâs hair and sized up his son before laughing and saying, âIt seems youâve made quite some progress.â
Although they had not seen each other for just over four years,
it was clearly evident that his son had undergone significant changes.
The contours of his eyes and brows had developed a sharper, more heroic edge,
and his whole body exuded a vigorous and prominent energy.
Lu Changsheng knew that this was the effect of the âSword Charging Bullâs Mightâ Seed of Law.
âHehe, all thanks to the excellent teaching of father.â
Lu Qingshan smiled broadly, displaying a face of humility.
Though he was proud and ambitious, he knew that his rapid progress in Sword Dao, as natural as eating and drinking, was wholly due to the sword dao seed his father had given.
Otherwise, even with his Gengjin Body Constitution and some talent in Sword Dao, it would not have been to this extent.
Moreover, hearing from his grandfather today about his fatherâs exploits over these years and combining it with the sword dao seed made him deeply realize his father was no ordinary man.
The whole person seemed to be veiled by a layer of mist, filled with a mysterious air!
âQingshan really does look a bit like a Sword Immortal now.â
Lu Miaoge looked at her son and complimented him warmly.
âHehe, aunt, I wonât hide it from you;
Iâm currently nicknamed âLittle Sword Immortalâ back at the Sect, and Little Zhu can attest to that.â
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan immediately spoke with a face full of pride.
As the saying goes, being rich and not returning home is like walking at night in brocade clothing.
This trip home, if he didnât properly boast about his achievements, it would be more painful for him than death.
âAlright, alright, letâs eat, youâre getting too cocky.â
Lu Changsheng slapped his son on the head somewhat irritably.
This son was too dazzling.
Continuing to show off like this was likely to create a big psychological gap for his other son, Lu Qingsong.
The two were brothers, and after not seeing each other for fifteen years, their growth was worlds apart.
âQingshan, I heard from your mother about the Jinyang Sectâs sword competition which happens every five years, how did this competition go?â
After everyone was seated, Lu Miaohuan asked her son cheerfully.
Although her son liked to show off,
she, as a mother, did the same.
Now that her son made her proud, she naturally wanted others like Lu Yuanding and Lu Yuanzhong to know about her sonâs achievements and the matters concerning Jinyang Sect.
After all, she Lu Miaohuan might not be like her sister, but her son was formidable!
Lu Qingshan, hearing this, immediately perked up.
In his heart, he thought his mother really understood him perfectly.
He coughed lightly, straightened his posture, and with a nonchalant demeanor called out to his sister Lu Qingzhu, âLittle Zhu.â
Lu Qingzhu clearly understood what her brother meant.
However, she still obediently played along and crisply said, âAunt, brother won first place in the Sectâs sword competition this time.â
âHisss!â
âHisss!â
âHisss!â
Lu Yuanzhong, Lu Yuanding, Lu Muping, Lu Miaochang, and others at the table inhaled sharply upon hearing this, their faces full of surprise as they looked towards Lu Qingshan.
Even Lu Qingsong couldnât help but look at his brother, whom he hadnât seen for more than ten years in astonishment.
Although they were not aware of the specifics of Jinyang Sect,
they knew it was one of the Five Great Immortal Sects of Yue Country!
To obtain first place in such an Immortal Sectâs sword competition undoubtedly confirmed his talent and strength!
âFirst place!â
Lu Miaohuan looked at her son with a face full of surprise and joy.
âMother, itâs just a contest among Qi Refinement disciples, itâs not that big of a deal.â
Lu Qingshan said with a nonchalant demeanor.
But Lu Changsheng, seeing his sonâs corners of mouth continually rise, was quite speechless.
He thought to himself, how did his son develop such a temperament, couldnât he be more composed like himself?
âItâs already very impressive, there must be several thousand Qi Refinement disciples in Jinyang Sect, right?â
Lu Yuanzhong chimed in, feeling amazed.
He was not only surprised by his young grandsonâs cultivation level of Ninth Level Energy Refinement,
but also astonished that he stood out from among thousands in the Sect and won the first place!
Such an achievement was unthinkable for them in the past.
To produce such a prodigy in the family was literally âgolden light bursting forth from the ancestral tombâ!
However, he felt some regret that Lu Qingshan was not enrolled under Qingyun Sect.
If that were the case, with this relationship, both families could gain many conveniences.
âAbout that, actually only a thousand disciples participated.â
Lu Qingshan said.
âBy the way, Qingshan, Little Zhu, why did you come back so suddenly?â
Lu Miaohuan continued to show concern.
The journey from Jinyang Sect was long, and they had experienced it themselves.
âI heard that the Purple Shadow Secret Realm was about to open in Jiang Country, so I thought to come and temper myself and also bring Little Zhu home, so I asked the master to send us back.â
Lu Qingshan explained.
âPurple Shadow Secret Realm!?â
âQingshan, you are going to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm?â
Everyone was quite surprised upon hearing Lu Qingshanâs words.
They hadnât expected his trip home was actually aiming to head to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.
Although the Purple Shadow Secret Realm contained many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures,
mostly Loose Cultivators and Family Forces went to try their luck!
Disciples of the Immortal Sects generally didnât go as often;
mostly used as a trial and exploration.
âPurple Shadow Secret RealmâŠâ
Lu Changshengâs brows furrowed slightly, not expecting Lu Qingshan to also go to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.
He immediately looked towards his daughter Lu Qingzhu and asked, âQingzhu, youâre not going, are you?â
His son going in, he could understand.
But he couldnât put his mind at ease about his daughterâs capabilities. He would not allow it.
âFather, donât worry, I wouldnât possibly let Little Zhu go for such a thing,â
Lu Qingshan immediately said.
Then with a face full of confident ease he reassured, âMother, Grandfather, donât worry, with my strength, there wonât be any danger in going to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.â
âIf there were any danger, my master wouldnât agree.â
Lu Qingshan said, assuring everyone.
