Chapter 157 – The First Person of the Lu Family’s Rune Dao, Casting the Seven Obsidian Heart Lantern!

Green Cloud Sect.

Hidden Scriptures.

“Senior nephew Xiao, are you sure you want to choose such an art skill?”

The Pavilion Guard Elder looked at the three art techniques chosen by Xiao Xi Yue, and a strange look appeared on his face when he saw one of them.

“One technique leads to all techniques, the technique that the disciple cultivates needs to have an understanding of all techniques, so he chose this technique.”

Xiao Xi Yue’s face was cool and holy, her expression calm as she slightly bowed and said.

“Since you’ve made your own decision, Senior Nephew Xiao, I naturally won’t say much.”

“However, our Green Cloud Sect’s rules should be known to master nephew, a heart demonic oath needs to be taken, and any gongfu techniques shall not be spread out.”

Seeing Xiao Xi Yue’s appearance, the Pavilion Guard Elder did not say much and nodded slightly.

“Thank you, Elder.”

Xiao Xiyue nodded her head and made a Heart Demon Oath, stating that the gongfu techniques would not be spread out, and then she left.

“It seems that building a foundation still has a considerable impact on having a baby.”

It had been more than a month since Lu Changsheng returned to Green Bamboo Mountain.

He basically didn’t cultivate much during this month or so.

Apart from making talismans, the time was spent on the chores of wives and children and making babies.

But after a month of trying to make babies, only three concubines were pregnant.

It made him realize that this should be the reason why he had broken through to Foundation Establishment.

Immortal cultivators’ cultivation rises, and with every major realm breakthrough, reproducing offspring offspring also becomes harder, considered one of the common sense of the Immortal Cultivation World.

“However, the higher the cultivation and strength of the parents, the higher the probability of giving birth to an heir with a spiritual root, and the better the quality.”

“Now that I’ve broken through Foundation Establishment and have the system to raise the 5% Spiritual Root Probability, I think that the next child’s Spiritual Root Probability, the quality will also be raised quite a bit.”

Lu Changsheng secretly said in his heart.

He’s been diligent about making babies this month, but he’s also upholding the principle of eugenics.

Three children, all conceived by concubines with spiritual roots.

So the children born also have a not-so-small probability of possessing spiritual roots.

“If I were to give birth to one with Xi Yue, I think the qualifications would be good.”

At that moment, Lu Changsheng remembered Xiao Xi Yue.

Not only did the other party possess a fourth-grade spiritual root, the Moonflower Spiritual Body, but he was also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

If the two of them gave birth to an heir, there was definitely a high probability that he would possess a spiritual root and have a good qualification.

However, he also knew that it was quite difficult to have a baby with Xiao Xi Yue at the moment.

Having a baby not only delayed the cultivation for several years, the other master would probably not agree.

“Husband, Grandma came over as if she had something for you.”

At this time, Lu Miaoyun came to the backyard and said towards Lu Changsheng.

“Something for me?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised when he heard this.

Immediately, he and Lu Miaoyun came to the hall.

Inside the hall, the Fourth Elder was drinking tea.

This old man is ninety years old.

The plump face was much older.

All the black hair that was once just gray at the temples has turned white.

“Grandma.”

Lu Changsheng immediately arched his hand and said.

“Everlasting.”

The Fourth Elder nodded his head, his face loving.

After she chatted with Lu Changsheng for a while about family matters, she revealed the purpose of this trip.

Indicates that he is getting older and is ready to step down as an elder of the clan.

Therefore, he was prepared to recommend Lu Changsheng to the clan, to take up this position of elder.

At the same time, it was also hoped that Lu Changsheng would usually be able to teach the clan’s children to make talismans.

“Serve as an Elder and teach the children of the Lu Family to make talismans.”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he pondered slightly.

If he had to choose for himself, he definitely wouldn’t want the responsibility.

Because he’s really busy right now.

Not only do you have to make talismans and sacrifice the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi, but you also have to care for your children, make babies, and cultivate yourself.

This time when he came back for more than a month, his time and mind were spent on his concubines and children, and he basically didn’t cultivate himself.

Techniques like the Seven Obsidian Heart Lantern had not been cultivated until now.

It would take a lot of time and effort again to assume this eldership.

However, the Fourth Elder came over on this trip, his tone carrying a few hints of pleading, which really made it difficult for him to refuse.

After all, at this age, it is indeed time for the old man to retire and enjoy his life.

And currently in the Lu Family, the one with the highest level of talismanic cultivation was himself.

Besides, the old man offered this eldership.

One must know that in a cultivation family like the Lu Family, the elders were basically the family’s own people.

“Changsheng, teaching the clan’s children to make talismans, mainly lecturing and enlightening them to see if there is any talismanic talent.”

“If you have the talent, just like when Grandma taught you and Myoga, it doesn’t take too much time .”

The Fourth Council Elder also saw Lu Changsheng’s hesitation and continued to speak.

The tone was gentle and loving, with a few moments of hopeful pleading in his eyes.

“Grandma, there’s naturally no problem with the matter of teaching talisman making.”

“As for the position of Elder, you can just give it to Sister Miaoge, you also know that I don’t have much ambition and usually don’t like to meddle in things.”

Lu Changsheng met the old man’s gaze and spoke out.

Since the old man had said so, he couldn’t afford to reject it outright.

It wasn’t too difficult to just take some time out to lecture and teach the children of the Lu family about the Rune Dao.

Think of it as making an extra contribution to the Lu family.

Besides, there’s no excuse for this.

Lu Changsheng knew very well in his heart that if he excused himself, the task would eventually fall on his wife, Lu Miaogao.

He was still hoping that Lu Miaogao would have less to do and spend more of her mind on cultivation.

In that case, you might as well answer for it yourself.

Besides, he usually enlightened his own children in this area, so he would consider it as teaching them more.

“Eternal Life, this Elder position is not only Grandma’s idea, but also the idea of the family head, the clan elders.”

“And this Elder is actually just a title, there aren’t too many affairs, and if Myriad Song is concerned, the clan will have other arrangements in the future.”

The Fourth Elder patted Lu Changsheng’s hand and said softly.

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he also understood that this Elder position was the Lu Family’s further solicitation of himself.

Otherwise, it wasn’t like there was any succession to this eldership, it couldn’t be up to the fourth elder alone.

It needs to be chosen by the vote of all the Lu family elders, the Elders.

“If you have said so, Grandmother, Nagisa naturally responded.”

Looking at the old man’s kind face, Lu Changsheng didn’t refuse anymore and nodded his head in response.

“Good, this matter will be finalized at this year’s Family Assembly, and it will be hard on you, Nagisa.”

A smile appeared on the Fourth Elder’s face when he saw Lu Changsheng respond.

This kind of thing is considered a big deal, so naturally, it’s not set in stone straight away.

She had come over, but she was also giving advance notice so that Lu Changsheng could be prepared.

“Grandma, it’s not hard.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and shook his head.

“Eternal Life, how are you doing in terms of first-order extreme talismans now.”

At this time, the Fourth Elder routinely cared about Lu Changsheng’s talisman making skills.

Almost every half a year, she would ask Lu Changsheng about his talisman making skills.

Half a year ago, Lu Changsheng had already revealed a talisman-making skill that was almost comparable to that of the Fourth Elder.

“And please, Grandma, show me the way.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t say much either, and revealed his own talisman making skills to the Fourth Elder.

Now that he had broken through to Foundation Establishment, he could be a little bolder.

Speed up the progress on the rune path a bit.

In a few more years, he will reveal his second-order talisman-making skills to the outside world.

“Good good good.”

As Lu Changsheng successfully drew a First Order Extreme Grade Talisman, the Fourth Elder’s face revealed a look of excitement and delight as he shouted his approval.

She could see that Lu Changsheng’s talisman-making skills were no longer inferior to her own at all.

This talisman, even if she were to draw it, her proficiency would be no more than that, not even as good as Lu Changsheng.

Lu Miaoyun, who was on the side, saw this and although she couldn’t quite understand it, she also followed with joy and happiness.

Knowing that it was his own husband’s skill in rune dao that had improved again.

Over the years, she could be said to have watched Lu Changsheng’s talismanic dao skills continue to progress.

“Changsheng, in the future when it comes to talisman making, grandma won’t be able to teach you anything, you’ll have to rely on yourself.”

“Purple This one is our Lu family’s second-ranked upper-grade talisman master’s inheritance.”

“This one in white, is grandma my own note comprehension of this talisman master’s inheritance over these decades, take it and comprehend it well.”

“The only thing Grandma wants right now is to see you become a Second Order Rune Master.”

The fourth elder straightened his storage bag and took out a white jade box from it.

Inside were two jade slips, which were handed to Lu Changsheng with a solemn face.

Lu Changsheng looked at the Fourth Elder with this expression and knew that this should be the most precious thing on the old man’s body.

After all, it was very difficult for ordinary Immortal Cultivators to obtain high-level techniques and second-order skill inheritances.

It’s not just expensive.

There is also very little outflow from the market.

This Second Order Upper Grade Rune Master Inheritance was presumably the Lu Family’s bottom-loaded inheritance in terms of Rune Dao.

“Grandmother, Eternal Life will certainly live up to your expectations.”

Lu Changsheng nodded heavily and accepted it respectfully with both hands.

“Good good good.”

The Fourth Elder patted Lu Changsheng’s shoulder in delight and didn’t say much in that regard.

After a quick whirlwind chat, he went to see some of his great-grandchildren.

The older the old man gets, the more fond he becomes of his few children.

Lu Miaoyun’s eldest son, Lu Yun, was also nine years old this year.

After being detected as having a seventh grade spiritual root, he was even more liked by the fourth elder.

However, Lu Miaoyun’s second child didn’t have a spiritual root, and the third child only had a ninth grade spiritual root, causing both Lu Miaoyun and this old man to be a bit lost.

“Congratulations husband.”

After the Fourth Elder left, Lu Miaoyun was full of happiness as she congratulated Lu Changsheng.

Not only was her husband’s Rune Dao skill progressing rapidly, but now he was going to become a family elder, which, in her wife’s opinion, was naturally a great joyous event worthy of congratulations.

She also felt proud and happy that her husband had accomplished so much.

“Not bad, it does deserve a celebration.”

Lu Changsheng also smiled and nodded.

Even if he had no feelings for this elder position.

But it’s something that, when put in the context of normal people, is really a good thing to celebrate.

It would be a bit of a stretch to appear too calm yourself.

Not long after, Lu Miaoyun announced the news at home.

“Congratulations husband.”

“Congratulations Father.”

“Congratulations Daddy!”

When the concubines and children in the backyard learned of this news, they were all very happy and congratulated Lu Changsheng.

Their thought perceptions were similar to Lu Miaoyun’s.

Feeling that it was a very extraordinary and honored thing to be a family elder.

Now that her own husband, her father, was able to become a Lu Family Elder, she was naturally very remarkable.

Lu Changsheng looked at the happy appearance of his concubines and children, and could not help but feel joyful and smile.

“Things aren’t set in stone yet, so we’ll just have to know for ourselves.”

He waved his hand and said, while in his heart, he couldn’t help but think that if they knew that their husband, their father was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would be even more surprised.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.

Inside the practice room.

Lu Changsheng sat with his eyes closed and his five hearts facing the sky, visualizing the seven obsidian stars and infinite sword qi in his mind.

Countless sword qi in the body converged in the dantian, gradually forming an ancient lamp with seven stars like the rotation of stars.

“Seven Obsidian Heart Lanterns!”

“The spiritual light in the heart is the wick, and the mana is the lamp oil; when the mind moves, it lights the heart lamp, which can dispel danmu, subdue the mind, clarify the mind, and ward off external demons.”

“If you cast it as an Intrinsic Spiritual Artifact and use Heavenly Silver as lamp oil, you can accelerate your cultivation, condense your mana, and make your own foundation more and more pure.”

“And, when facing the enemy, when using mana to flick the wick, it can burst out endless sword qi to kill the enemy, so it can be said to have both offensive and defensive cultivation!”

After a long time, Lu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, looked inward at the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp that had coalesced in his dantian, and lightly exhaled, his face showing joy.

Through most of the month’s closed-door painstaking cultivation, he finally succeeded in condensing the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp.

Next, one could spend the materials to cast and refine this Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp into a Lifelike Spiritual Artifact.

He didn’t start casting straight away though.

Because this is the kind of thing that can’t be done in a moment, and there’s no way to interrupt it.

It’s going to take months of closure to do that.

Now Lu Changsheng also gradually understood why there were no years in Immortal Cultivation.

He didn’t even need to spend time to comprehend and learn this Seven Obsidian Heart Lantern Condensation method.

Directly visualizing the Seven Observations, condensing the sword qi, and casting the Heart Lantern all took the better part of a month.

If this were an ordinary person, they would have to be in seclusion for at least three or four months, or even the greater part of a year, to be able to coalesce this heart lamp.

“Alas, it’s no wonder Immortal Cultivators can’t have too much strife and trivia.”

“There are so many trivial matters that it is simply difficult to cultivate with one mind.”

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh of emotion and walked out of the practice room.

Immediately, he came to the Fourth Elder’s residence and inquired about the matter of giving the Lu Family’s children a Rune Dao lesson.

He intended to use the excuse of closing down to impact the seventh level of Qi Refining to cast the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp, an Intrinsic Spiritual Artifact, after delivering this lesson.

After all, this Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp was beneficial to cultivation, and the sooner it was cast, the better.

“I’ll have the head of the family go and give notice later, and the lesson will be taught at the Green Bamboo Villa tomorrow.”

The Fourth Elder said so after hearing Lu Changsheng’s intention.

The next day, the sun was shining.

The fourth elder then came to Lu Changsheng’s residence.

In addition to the Fourth Elder, there was also a green-shirted man in his thirties with a handsome and courteous face.

This man was the young head of the Lu Family, Lu Miaochang.

By the time this year’s family assembly is held, he will be the new head of the Lu family.

It wasn’t that Lu Yuanding had made any mistakes.

Rather, the head of the Lu family is appointed once every twenty years.

Lu Yuanding’s term is exactly twenty years old this year, so he will step down as an Elder.

“Grandmother, Young Master.”

Lu Changsheng arched his hand towards the Fourth Elder and Lu Miaochang.

“Everlasting.”

The two men also nodded to Lu Changsheng.

This young family head is Lu Yuanding’s own nephew.

So the character is also somewhat similar to Lu Yuanding.

Doing things in a civilized and polite manner makes you very comfortable.

Both are here for the Rune Doctrine class.

After all, it was the first time he taught, so he was inevitably inexperienced, so the Fourth Elder had to come over to keep an eye on things.

As for this young family head, he had come over to calm down the scene and take a look at the situation.

Just in case there were any family children who didn’t know any better and wicked Lu Changsheng, the talisman master and future Elder.

Lu Changsheng sniffed and also called out to his son Lu Xianzhi and Lu Quanzhen to go over together.

These two sons, he had already seen that they had no talent in the runic path.

But no talent is no talent, as an Immortal Cultivator, knowing more about talismans is not a bad thing.

The crowd made their way to the Green Bamboo Villa.

“Fubuki.”

Lu Changsheng saw Fu Bo, the steward of the Green Bamboo Villa, and spoke out in greeting.

This old man has also aged considerably and is currently semi-retired.

“Fourth Elder, Young Master, Eternal Life.”

Uncle Fu greeted the three Lu Changsheng.

There was also some emotion in his heart that the once superfluous son-in-law of the Lu family had now actually become the core of the Lu family.

In the talismanic path, he even surpassed the eldest miss Lu Miaogao, succeeding the fourth elder and becoming the first person in the Lu family.

He led the three of them to a large hall in the Green Bamboo Villa.

There were more than twenty Lu family members inside.

The younger ones were eleven or twelve, and the older ones were just fifteen or sixteen.

“Greetings to the Fourth Elder, Uncle Mythic Standing, Uncle Mythic Standing, and Master Lu.”

These Lu Family children knew that Lu Changsheng taught talisman making after receiving the news yesterday.

The elders of the family had also been well instructed to be polite and respectful to Lu Changsheng.

After all, when the Lu Family overthrew the Chen Family in a battle, the previous generation of the Lu Family knew the gold content of Lu Changsheng, the son-in-law of the Lu Family.

Not only is he gifted in the talismanic path, he was valued by the Lu family’s oldest ancestor, who personally bestowed the marriage.

It also had a great relationship with a Foundation Establishment Major Cultivator.

“Xianzhi, Quanzhen, you guys find a seat.”

Lu Changsheng said towards his two sons and then began to lecture.

With a second-order talisman-making skill, he was solidly knowledgeable about these basics.

Theoretically speaking, it’s all the same.

Completely not like the fourth elder, relying on their own slow learning, pondering up to be able to compare.

So enlightening lectures to these newcomers about the rune path could be perfect.

Lu Changsheng didn’t hide too much, and spoke in a very simple and easy to understand, smooth and natural way.

And in the classroom for the crowd to break down the steps of the basic talisman, a little bit of teaching, hear these children teenagers as mesmerized.

“This.”

Even the Fourth Elder couldn’t help but be surprised as he listened to Lu Changsheng’s lecture on the step-by-step breakdown of talismans.

It felt that Lu Changsheng’s speech was simply impeccable and could not be faulted at all.

There’s even a few warm fuzzies.

She had thought that Lu Changsheng, who had relied on his own fumbling, would be lacking in terms of basic foundation.

So he came over to listen to the lesson, also with the thought of giving Lu Changsheng a few pointers when the time came to re-consolidate his foundation.

As a result, I didn’t realize that I was warming up to the basics in this situation.

“Well, that’s all for today’s lesson.”

“If you guys are interested, when you get home, you can use practice one or two on your own, and I’ll check on it then in the next class.”

After speaking for almost an hour, Lu Changsheng stopped and said.

It’s not much use just listening to something like talisman making.

After all, it doesn’t help that the brain understands, but the hands don’t.

If you want to go far in the talismanic path, you have to be physically and mentally united, and have a fine and subtle control over your own spiritual energy and force.

It was then through constant hard practice that one could achieve success in the Way of Runes.

“Eternal Life, your performance today has simply amazed Grandma.”

The Fourth Elder was full of smiles and said to Lu Changsheng with considerable emotion.

“Grandma is flattered, it’s all because you usually teach me well.”

Lu Changsheng said modestly.

He then talked about his preparations to impact the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The next lecture may be in a few months.

“Nagisa, if you’re going to give a lecture, just talk to Uncle Fu a few days in advance.”

Lu Miaochang spoke up.

Please Lu Changsheng this kind of lecture, naturally, it is impossible to force a fixed time, or to Lu Changsheng convenience.

“By the way, Changsheng, you impacted the late stage of Qi Refining, so you may need to exchange for a high-level Step Breaking Pill.”

“I remember that the family currently has two more high-grade rank-breaking pills.”

Lu Miaochang continued.

“That’s exactly what I intend to do, I intend to exchange for a Rank Breaking Pill aid.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

Not to take advantage of this with the contribution value.

Simply being a ninth grade spiritual root, if one did not use the assistance of a Step Breaking Pill, it would seem a bit abnormal.

“I just happen to be making a trip over there, so I’ll go with you.”

Immediately, Lu Miaochang nodded.

“Good.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and let his two sons go back on their own.

Myself and Lu Miaochang went to exchange for the High Grade Breaking Pills.

This High Grade Breaking Pill was purchased at the marketplace for one thousand two hundred spirit stones.

However, when exchanged with contribution value in the Lu Family, it only cost eight hundred and fifty contribution points.

Equivalent to eight hundred and fifty spirit stones.

It’s one of the family benefits.

It is also the hope that the family’s children will contribute more.

Lu Changsheng provided talismans for the Lu Family every month, and had long since accumulated quite a few contributions, enough to exchange for this High Grade Breaking Pill.

After exchanging the High Grade Breaking Pills, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoshang bid farewell.

He could also see that this young householder had been showing himself kindness.

However, the other party is also considered to be a great-uncle who is closer to his own family, so he naturally has a friendly attitude, and if people respect me, I respect them.

“I don’t know when Heiyue will come over.”

“My trip to cast the Seven Obsidian Heart Lantern should also take three or four months.”

Walking back, Lu Changsheng remembered Xiao Xi Yue.

Now the two have been apart for three months.

The other party went back to the Green Cloud Sect to report and cultivate the art means for building the foundation, and it is estimated that he will come over in just these few months.

“Yun’er, keep this messenger talisman for me, if someone sends a message, you can say that I am in seclusion.”

“Tell her to head directly to the Red Leaf Valley Workshop to find Sister Myriad Song if she has anything to do.”

After returning home, Lu Changsheng talked about his seclusion.

At the same time, he handed his wife Lu Miaoyun his own and Xiao Xiyue’s messenger talisman.

Save yourself the trouble of not being there when Xiao Xi Yue comes.
