Chapter 158 – The Effect of the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp, Nine Bag Elder

Chapter 158 – The Effect of the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp, Nine Bag Elder

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, four months passed.

Inside the practice room, Lu Changsheng was dressed in a green robe, sitting in meditation.

In front of him, a Star Ancient Lamp was suspended.

This ancient lamp had an ancient style, and the overall body of the lamp was the color of bronze, with faint colored light flowing from it.

Around the lamp disk, seven thumb-sized dazzling gemstones were inlaid, like seven small stars, blossoming with wisps of gorgeous light.

“Seven Obsidian Heart Lantern, it’s done!”

Lu Changsheng abruptly opened his eyes and looked at the ancient lamp in front of him.

He could clearly feel that this ancient lamp was integrated with himself, and his mind was connected.

That’s the native spirit weapon!

Even if it was only a lower-grade spirit weapon, its power was far superior to ordinary spirit weapons.

And it could be taken into the body and warmed with its own dantian mana, gradually improving the quality of its power.

Moreover, in the event of danger, the spirit weapon can also serve as an active warning and protect the body.

The only drawback was that if the Essence Spiritual Artifact was damaged, one’s self would also suffer some damage.

Lu Changsheng reached out and held this ancient lamp in his hands.

Warm and moist in the hand, without the cold and hard feeling of metal, as if holding a piece of warm jade.

With a slight movement of his mind, he injected mana, and the seven jewels on the ancient lamp suddenly blossomed with piercing divine light, like seven stars rotating around, with a point of golden flame emerging in the center.

Under the starlight and golden flames, Lu Changsheng was set off as immaculate and transcendent.

“Duh!”

Lu Changsheng gripped the ancient lamp and gave it a gentle heave.

The fire of the heart lamp swayed, and a wisp of sword qi streaked out.

This wisp of sword qi was stern and ethereal, encircling Lu Changsheng’s body, transforming into a sword qi true dragon, sword qi fierce tiger, and sword qi shield.

“The power is only an ordinary Tsukiji strike though.”

“But I have the Xuan Yuan Bead beside me, so I have no fear of mana consumption, and in a single thought, up to a hundred strands of sword qi can erupt, so even a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment would have difficulty in defending against it.”

“If it’s a group battle, it’s even more of a one-sided slaughter when facing Qi Refining cultivators.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the wisps of sword qi around him, felt the spirit pressure power, and estimated the power.

Immediately, his mind moved, the sword Qi dissipated, and the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into his body and coming along the meridians above the sea of qi and dantian.

Forging a solid spirit weapon and a Seven Obsidian Heart Lantern condensed by mere arts were two completely different experiences.

Now that the spirit weapon had entered his body, it made Lu Changsheng feel quite mysterious as well.

“I wonder how effective this Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp is at condensing mana.”

Lu Changsheng thought of the effect of the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp in condensing the roots of mana.

This was one of the most powerful effects of the Seven Obsidian Heart Lantern.

He took out two coins of Heavenly Silver from his storage pouch to use as fuel for the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp.

Immediately, the golden flame of the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp burned brightly before entering the Dan Lake.

It made the liquid mana within the Dan Lake ‘gurgle’ as if it was boiling.

A little bit of time passed.

After a long time, the lamp oil ran out and Dan Lake returned to calm.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, two coins of Heavenly Silver went down, and I actually didn’t see even a little effect, and only vaguely felt that the mana was purified by a few points.”

“According to the introduction of the Seven Obsidian Great Selfless Sword Scripture, condensing mana with the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp can at most increase the root of mana by 30%, and for this 30%, I’m afraid that it would require hundreds of pounds of heavenly silver to be burned.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head with emotion.

The Seven Observations Heart Lamp normally uses mana as lamp oil to catalyze combat, dispel danmu, calm the mind, and ward off external demons.

However, in order to condense the root of mana, one had to use Heavenly Silver as fuel.

One hundred spirit stones or two for this heavenly silver.

If one were to burn a hundred pounds of heavenly silver, that would mean one would have to burn a hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones.

Even Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but be staggered at this figure.

“But boosting thirty percent of mana, not only is the root strong, it’s beneficial to both the probability of conjugation and the quality of conjugation, so this spirit stone would have to say it’s worth it.”

“Moreover, the price of one hundred spirit stones or two is the price I purchased at the Green Cloud Chamber of Commerce.”

“If you acquire it yourself, you’ll be able to get it at least two or three percent cheaper.”

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart.

He was not in a hurry to condense his mana roots with Heavenly Silver.

This kind of thing could well wait until there was a surplus of spirit stones.

Or wait until you have your own basic disk and then slowly acquire SkyBank.

Besides, this kind of thing doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a long-term project.

“It’s almost time to go out, otherwise this four months of seclusion, the family would think I’ve had some kind of accident.”

Lu Changsheng executed his Cleansing Technique and cleaned up the practice room, put away the ‘Canopy Five Elements Formation’ and walked out of the practice room.

“Husband!”

“Daddy.”

Outside the courtyard, Qu Zhenzhen was reading a story to his young son and daughter.

When they saw Lu Changsheng, they immediately said with a look of surprise.

“Makoto, I’ve made you worry.”

Lu Changsheng knew that his wives and concubines must have been worried since he had been in seclusion for so long on this trip.

“Husband’s cultivation can go well.”

Qu Zhenzhen, dressed in a pink and white dress with a delicate and lovely face, hugged Lu Changsheng and asked with concern.

“After being in seclusion for so long, it’s natural that I made a smooth breakthrough.”

Lu Changsheng laughed and gently patted his little petite wife on the back.

After all these years, Qu Zhenzhen is still very clingy to him.

It’s just that with kids, he’s usually away and will focus his mind and energy on them.

“Congratulations husband.”

When Qu Zhenzhen heard this, she immediately congratulated with a happy face.

She had come to Green Bamboo Mountain for so many years and was cultivating Immortality herself, and had gained quite a bit of knowledge about being in Immortal Cultivation.

Knowing that Lu Changsheng had broken through the seventh level of Qi Refinement this time, he was also breaking through the late stage of Qi Refinement.

In Green Bamboo Mountain, the late stage of Qi Refining was already considered an expert.

“Congratulations Daddy.”

“Congratulations Daddy.”

The two little ones next to him followed suit with their congratulations.

“What a story Mother is telling you.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the pair of children, took out two spirit fruits from his storage bag and handed them out, rubbed their heads and smiled as he inquired.

Qu Zhenzhen a four children, the youngest this child is also six years old.

It made Lu Changsheng lament the speed of time.

I still remember when I went to the three-year appointment, and on the way back, I brought Qu Zhenzhen back to Qingzhu Mountain from the broken temple.

Immediately, the two little ones chattered and told Lu Changsheng.

As Lu Changsheng came out of the gate, the other wives and concubines came to inquire with concern and congratulate Lu Changsheng on his breakthrough to the late stage of Qi Refining.

After meeting with his concubines and family, Lu Miaoyun told Lu Changsheng that the Lu family meeting had finished.

Since he was in seclusion, he was not disturbed.

In this year’s clan meeting, the Lu family has completed the generation change within the family.

Lu Miaochang took over as the new head of the family, and Lu Yuanding became the family elder, responsible for the family’s finances and assisting the new head of the family in overseeing the family.

Lu Miaoge also became a family deacon, counting the next generation of elders in preparation.

Lu Changsheng’s position as an elder was also determined.

But at the very bottom of the list, due to the age of the generation, was the Ninth Elder.

After becoming an Elder, in addition to this title, the family welfare benefits were increased accordingly.

As for the specific matters of the elders, Lu Changsheng needed to go to the new family head, Lu Miaoshang, to find out.

“Ninth Elder.”

When Lu Changsheng heard this ranking, he guffawed and couldn’t help but think of the Nine Bags Elder.

“Husband, the messenger talisman you gave me also sent news last month .”

Lu Miaoyun also stated that last month, a woman came to see Lu Changsheng.

The other party chatted with himself for a while, and knowing that Lu Changsheng was in seclusion, he left for the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace.

“Yun’er, work hard for you.”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he nodded, knowing that it was Xiao Xi Yue who had arrived.

However, he still had a bunch of things going on right now, and there was no hurry to rush to the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace right away.

He first went to Lu Miaochang to ascertain the specifics of this so-called Elder Affairs.

Lu Miaochang told Lu Changsheng that it was mainly talisman matters.

Then there was the cultivation of talisman dao apprentices, as well as the control of the income and expenditure of the talisman stores in the major marketplaces, and some other trivial matters.

After Lu Changsheng heard this, he directly rejected the talisman store aspect, allowing the Lu family to find their own people to manage it.

He wasn’t willing to get involved in too many of the Lu family’s core interests, and he didn’t have the free time to do so.

After all, he didn’t have time to take care of his own store.

After a general chat, Lu Changsheng came to the Green Bamboo Villa to inform Uncle Fu, stating that he would teach in three days.

After doing so, Lu Changsheng returned home to accompany his wife and concubines, and continued to start his own baby-making business.

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

In this half month, Lu Changsheng basically didn’t cultivate, he was making babies.

As for the extra babies, it will be a while before they can be detected.

“Hmm?”

On this day, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a stream of pure spiritual cultivation surge into his body out of nowhere.

“What is it?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised and wondered where this spiritual cultivation came from.

After a while, he reacted to the fact that it was his son, Lu Xianzhi, who had broken through to the second level of Qi Refining.

“But this little bit of cultivation, for me at the moment, is like a pot of water poured into a pond.”

Lu Changsheng gently shook his head.

Immediately, after slightly caring about this son, he told his wife and concubines that he had to make a trip to the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace.

Before going to the workshop, Lu Changsheng ran to pay his respects to his father-in-law, Lu Yuanding, again.

It wasn’t that there was anything going on, simply carrying her daughter Lu Qingzhu over to meet her mother.

Since Lu Miaogue spent most of her time sitting in the Red Leaf Valley workshop, this daughter was either carried by the second young miss Lu Miaohuan or Lu Yuanding.

Not long ago, Lu Qingzhu and Lu Qingshan were both taken by Lu Yuanding.

“Father-in-law.”

Arriving at Lu Yuanding’s residence, Lu Changsheng immediately saw Lu Yuanding who was bringing up his grandchildren.

His son, Lu Qingshan, was chasing a white goose with a small, energetic wooden sword.

Her daughter Lu Qingzhu, on the other hand, was held in Lu Yuanding’s arms, watching Lu Qingshan chase the goose with a quiet face.

“Nagisa, you’re here.”

Lu Yuanding held his little granddaughter and looked at Lu Changsheng and said smilingly.

He had been quite busy, but after he stepped down as the head of the family, he also had free time.

As for the things of the elders, this is largely up to you.

It’s not much of a busy schedule if you’re willing to delegate, so you have the leisure to take care of the kids too.

“Dad, ha!”

Lu Qingshan, who was chasing geese, saw Lu Changsheng, his father, coming and chopped with a sword with his short legs.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng took the palm of his hand and pinched the back of his son’s neck, picking up this mischievous son.

“Grandpa, Grandpa save me!”

Lu Qingshan immediately turned toward Grandpa for help.

“Daddy.”

Lu Qingzhu, who was in Lu Yuanding’s arms, looked at Lu Changsheng as if he had stayed for a while before recognizing this father, causing Lu Changsheng to feel ashamed for a while.

After all, at their age, children have an average memory and little company of their own.

“Father-in-law, I’m preparing to go to the Red Leaf Valley Workshop, so I want to bring Qingzhu over to meet Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng put his son down and made his intentions known.

“Well okay, Changsheng, I know you’re busy right now, but when you have time, usually spend more time with Miaoge and Huan’er.”

Lu Yuanding sniffed and nodded.

“Everlasting Knowledge.”

Lu Changsheng chatted with Lu Yuanding for a while and then hugged his daughter.

Looking at his daughter’s white and tender, fleshy little face, he couldn’t help but kiss her twice and said, “Qingzhu, go, go see mother.”

Every time he saw this daughter’s little face, he couldn’t help but kiss it twice.

“Father, I want to see Auntie too!”

When his son Lu Qingshan heard this, he also shouted out.

He was very fond of Lu Miaogao as an aunt.

Because auntie buys him good food and fun every time.

Lu Changsheng glanced at this son.

To be honest, he wasn’t too keen on taking this son out.

The main thing is that this son is so active that he has to be watched all the time.

Unlike her daughter, Lu Qingzhu, who is usually quiet, not noisy and very well-behaved.

“All right, since you’re going, we’ll go together.”

Thinking that he usually didn’t spend much time with this child, Lu Changsheng still nodded his head in response.

Lu Yuanding saw that Lu Changsheng was going to take both children away, and also said that he just happened to go to the Red Leaf Valley Workshop to take a look with Lu Changsheng.

Although the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace was relatively close, he was still a little uneasy about the two children, who were less than four years old, being taken out by Lu Changsheng alone.

Hearing this, it was naturally impossible for Lu Changsheng to say anything.

With Lu Yuanding around, at least there was someone to help bring up the child and save himself a headache.

Immediately, the two of them held a child each and rode the Iron Feathered Eagle to the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace.

Half a day later, the two of them arrived at the Red Leaf Valley Square Market.

Today’s Red Leaf Valley Place has a lot more foot traffic.

Lu Yuanding told Lu Changsheng that the four great clans were going to organize an auction every year starting next year, which would be used to attract more casual cultivators over.

It was also hoped that when the time came, Lu Changsheng would be able to take out some top quality Extreme Talismans for auction.

“Auction? Good.”

Lu Changsheng nodded when he heard the news.

Now that the Red Leaf Valley has been open for three years, the natural flow of people has almost reached a small bottleneck.

The next thing you want to do is to attract the cultivators to come, so naturally, you have to come up with something.

Otherwise, like the Red Leaf Valley Square Market’s general safety and security, and the lack of the Green Cloud Chamber of Commerce, Wanbao Pavilion, such a large store stationed, the attraction is also really limited.

The two of them walked and chatted as they arrived at the ‘Qingzhu Lu’s Spiritual Symbol Shop’.

“Dad, Nagisa.”

Lu Miaogao smiled when she saw that Lu Changsheng and Lu Yuanding had arrived and were holding two children.

Immediately afterward, a few people took their children to stroll around the marketplace and play.

After strolling around for a long time and eating, Lu Yuanding also gave the couple space and took the two children back to the Lu Family Compound by himself.

When Red Leaf Valley was first divided up by the four great families, the Lu family took the lion’s share, accounting for almost 40%.

So the Lu family members were not lacking in residence at all in this Red Leaf Valley Place.

“Changsheng, that Miss Xiao has come over again and has arranged to stay in your previous cave.”

After returning to the Spirit Talisman Shop, Lu Miaogao said to Lu Changsheng.

“Sister Myoga, please.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng said in a warm voice.

Before Xiao Xi Yue lived in this Red Leaf Valley Place for half a year, Lu Miaogao knew that the other party existed.

Moreover, with Lu Miaogang’s intelligence, she must have also seen that the relationship between the two was not as simple as just practicing cultivation.

“Eternal Life, this Miss Xiao, has she succeeded in building her foundation?”

Lu Miaogao inquired.

Through some of the news that Lu Changsheng had said earlier, she also knew about Xiao Xiyue’s foundation building.

However, Xiao Xi Yue’s nature was cool and she wasn’t a talkative person, so even if there was contact, the two didn’t chat much.

“Well, foundation building was successful, but the subsequent cultivation, still needs some help from me, so this trip came over again.”

Lu Changsheng said so.

“Tsukiji.”

When Lu Miaogue heard that Xiao Xiyue had succeeded in building her foundation, her face revealed a few moments of envy and longing.

As the children of an Immortal Cultivation Family, it could be said that it was the dream of all of them to become a Foundation Establishment Major Cultivator after being nurtured and taught from a young age.

It’s just that most people will gradually realize that foundation building is too far away from them.

Lu Miaogao knew that although she had a few possibilities of building the foundation, they were very slim.

“Sister Myoga, I have a gift for you.”

Lu Changsheng could see the look in Lu Miaogao’s eyes.

He naturally knew that Lu Miaogao’s heart was set on cultivation, and had been thinking of breaking through to Foundation Establishment one day.

Saying that, from the storage bag, he took out a porcelain vase.

“Gifts?”

When Lu Miaogao heard this, she smiled sweetly and took the porcelain bottle to check it out.

“This is. Triple Yang Dan?”

Looking at the elixir within the porcelain bottle, Lu Miaogao not only revealed a look of astonishment.

“That’s right, it’s precisely the Triple Yang Dan that is known as the ‘Little Foundation Building Dan’.”

“Sister Miaoge, if you take this Triple Yang Dan, you should be able to directly break through from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

He had also prepared a Foundation Building Pill for Lu Miaogao, so there was no need to wait until Qi Refining was complete to take this pill.

Taking it now has the same effect.

“It’s better for you to keep this Triple Yang Dan for yourself.”

Lu Miaogao gave a shallow smile, her face was clear and gentle, very moving.

Although she didn’t know where Lu Changsheng had gotten this Triple Yang Dan, she also knew how precious it was.

Put on the market, one would be worth at least three to four thousand spirit stones.

Even though she was now a first rank top runic master, she couldn’t afford to consume such a precious elixir.

After all, not all talisman masters were like Lu Changsheng, with a 100% success rate.

Moreover, there was no need to spend spirit stones to buy materials to practice making talismans.

“I’ve already taken one, and this one is specially for you, Sister Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and said.

He had long guessed that Lu Miaogao would refuse, so he prepared his words.

“This Nagisa, thank you.”

Lu Miaogang looked at Lu Changsheng’s eyes, which shone with tenderness, and no longer refused.

“You and I, husband and wife, have long been indistinguishable from each other, so what word of thanks is there to say.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and continued, “If you want to take pills for seclusion, Sister Miaoge, I can come and watch over this side of the store.”

“Father and Green Bamboo Aoyama are coming over, so let’s talk about it after a while.”

Lu Miaoge said softly.

Saying that, as if remembering something, he said, “By the way, Changsheng your good friend Li Feiyu came over for a trip earlier, but didn’t wait for you to come back, so there are some things that I was asked to hand over to you.”

“Stuff?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised when he heard this.

Not long after, Lu Miaogao took out a storage bag from her room and handed it to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng opened his storage bag and saw that there were a bunch of spirit stones inside.

Almost two hundred spirit stones.

And a letter.

Open the letter for inspection.

“Whew.”

After reading the letter, Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly.

The content of the letter is resignation.

Indicating that he had an appointment with someone to go to Qingluan Immortal City together, so he would not wait for Lu Changsheng anymore and would wait to catch up and chat later.

These two hundred spirit stones were the ones he had more than enough of to spare right now, so he would pay back a little first.

As for the rest of the Spirit Stones, when he returned from Qingluan Immortal City next time.

He also told Lu Changsheng not to worry, and that he would return when he had time.

Then it was about some trivia, some insights from seeing the cultivation world on his own.

“Alas, Fei Yu is still this Fei Yu, not willing to owe a little.”

Lu Changsheng sighed and shook his head.

He wasn’t even close to this two hundred spirit stones right now.

But these two hundred spirit stones were estimated to be all that Li Fei Yu could take at the moment.

“Everlasting.”

Lu Miaogao also knew that Li Feiyu was one of Lu Changsheng’s few close friends.

The two had come to the Lu family together in the first place and had a great relationship.

“I’m fine, just a little emotional.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly and didn’t hide the matter of Li Feiyu.

Sometimes having someone around who you can talk to and confide in can make a person feel much better.

He himself harbors many secrets, so some ordinary things are not hidden from his wife.

“Sister Myoga, it’s getting late.”

After the two of them chatted for a long time, Lu Changsheng looked at his wife’s soft, clear and beautiful jade face and suddenly said.

Immediately hold the beautiful people shoulder, hold in two petals full of Yinglun, soft and delicate peach blossom, seize the sweetness.

“Uh~ to the room.”

Lu Miaoge did not expect that just when she was chatting nicely, her husband suddenly did so, her eyelashes fluttered lightly, then her hands encircled her husband’s neck and gasped.
