These days, Bi Lake Mountain is quite bustling.
On one hand, itâs due to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm and the familyâs annual meeting, with many Lu Family disciples returning to the clan.
On the other hand, itâs about Lu Family Ancestor Lu Changsheng preparing to take a wife.
Over the years, aside from taking concubines and maids, Lu Ancestor has rarely married.
Now suddenly taking a wife has stirred a lot of astonishment and suspicion among many family forces.
They want to know what makes this woman so exceptional that she can become Lu Ancestorâs wife.
After all, Lu Ancestorâs wives, aside from a few early-on humble wives, are all quite extraordinary.
The Lu Family Main Mother, Lu Miaoge, is a Second Grade Talisman Master, and practices Dual Cultivation Techniques with Lu Ancestor, capable of battling False Core Immortals.
Main Mother Ling Zixiao, a Second Rank Array Master, presided over the Bi Lake Mountain Great Formation in the past, suppressing Xiahou Monie.
A few years ago, she also set up a formation to suppress Sima Family Ancestor, Sima Tong, together with Lu Pingâan.
Even though Main Mother Lu Miaoyun doesnât have many outstanding features, she manages the Lu Familyâs backyard skilfully and is also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
"Alas, the Lu Family not only crazily produces children, their sons and daughters have extraordinary talents, and Lu Changsheng keeps abducting Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators from outside. How can anyone compete!"
"Indeed, I can understand Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaoyun, but someone like Ling Zixiao, such an Array Master, would be willing to marry Lu Changshengitâs baffling."
"Have you forgotten? Lu Changsheng also has a Dao Companion in the Qingyun Sect named Zhao Qingqing, who is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."
"Youâre outdated! Iâve heard that both the market masters of Misty Rain Market are involved with Lu Ancestor..."
"What, wasnât it only the Rain market master who married Lu Ancestor as a concubine? Now the Smoke market master has also married Lu Ancestor?"
"Iâve heard that the Smoke market master of Misty Rain Market has a Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer cultivation level, and Misty Rain Market reaching its current heights is mainly due to her. And she also married Lu Ancestor as a concubine?"
"This matter isnât confirmed, but Iâve heard some whisperings indicating it. Besides, Lu Changsheng is known for his predilection;
how could he let a pair of sisters off!"
"If thatâs the case, then what is the background and status of this woman who is marrying Lu Ancestor as his wife? Could she be another Lu Miaoge or Ling Zixiao?"
"Damn, where does Lu Changsheng find so many exceptionally talented women?"
Many family forces are paying close attention to Lu Changshengâs marriage.
Worried that Lu Ancestor might have found another formidable wife to further strengthen Bi Lake Mountain.
However, with hesitance aside, upon hearing news of Lu Ancestor marrying, these family forces still send people with gifts.
Taking this chance to see Lu Ancestorâs wife and what extraordinary traits she might possess.
...
Regarding the external attention, Lu Changsheng is neither aware nor concerned.
He is currently with Hong Lian in the Refining Hall, crafting a three-foot-long sword embryo with brilliant starlight gleaming.
"Buzz buzz buzz"
On the black-gold Treasure Forging Platform, fierce flames burn, integrating all kinds of Essence Gold and essence metal into the Heavenly Circulation Starry Sword Embryo.
Making the originally simple and seemingly dull sword embryo exude a sharp aura.
However, for the sword embryo to become a flying sword, Lu Qingshan needs to slowly cultivate and refine it himself.
Lu Changsheng can only make the flying sword more suited to him.
If the sword embryo were directly forged into a flying sword, Lu Qingshanâs current strength would not be able to wield it.
Time quietly passes by.
Itâs unsure how much time has gone by.
"Buzz"
The sword embryo falls into Lu Changshengâs hand.
"Almost there."
Lu Changsheng holds the sword embryo and gives it a simple swing.
But since the sword embryo acknowledges Lu Qingshan as its master, he canât wield it freely, only forcibly maneuver it with Yin Yang Magic Power.
"The original master of this sword embryo wasnât weak;
itâs just that time has eroded most of its spirit."
The voice of Hong Lian next to him is elegant and gentle, quite pleasing to the ear.
"Exactly because it has almost no spirit left, Qingshan can barely use it."
"If this sword embryo had even a tenth of its original power, he wouldnât be able to handle it."
Lu Changsheng chuckles softly, not feeling regret.
He knows too well the pain of having an item too high in grade to use.
Itâs better to have something simple and ordinary thatâs immediately usable.
"Mm."
Hong Lian nods lightly.
After simply reforging the sword embryo, Lu Changsheng goes to find his son Lu Qingshan, preparing for him to give it a try.
But upon hearing that Lu Qingshan is undergoing a medicinal bath ritual, he refrains from disturbing him and instead accompanies Bai Ling in the Cave Heaven.
"Brother!"
Bingâer wakes up from slumber at this moment.
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, she shows immense delight, hugging him tightly as her exquisite face, like ice and jade, rubs against his chest, absorbing his scent.
"Bingâer."
Lu Changsheng smiles and embraces the girl, feeling her cool and graceful jade-like body.
Even though sheâs been asleep for a long time, she looks just as she did when he brought her back, without any change.
Hong Lian speculates that for Bingâer to grow, a long passing of years is needed.
"Brother, I also want to carry a baby."
Bingâer is very envious of Bai Lingâs pregnancy, looking at Lu Changsheng with eyes full of hope.
Watching her still naive, pure eyes, Lu Changsheng feels a stroke of unexplainable guilt.
"Bingâer is still young;
when the time comes, you will be able to carry a baby too."
Lu Changsheng comforts her.
He indeed also wondered if he could have a child with Bingâer. .
But after spending so many years together, he can be sure that Bingâerâs situation is similar to Bai Lingâs.
Without external help, itâs nearly impossible for her to become pregnant.
Acquiring the âYin Yang Integration Spirit Pillâ back then was pure luck, and obtaining such elixir to help Bingâer get pregnant is not feasible now.
Moreover, he suspects that Bingâer might not even be able to conceive.
"Ugh, Bingâer is not that small."
