Chapter 226 – Flame of Hope, Zhao Qingqing’s recent situation!

Chapter 226 – Flame of Hope, Zhao Qingqing’s recent situation!

“Ho ho ho–“

Lu Pingan’s body was like a tarzan pressing down on him, and his heart was ‘thumping’ with a sense of suffocation.

Moreover, the light within his body was like a river surging, permeated with an unspeakable oppression of will, almost pressing him down.

But his father’s words, the word ‘hold on’, made him grit his teeth and hold on for dear life.

Because ever since he was a child, his father had never spoken to him, in such a serious tone.

It was the first time his father had ever spoken to him, in a serious tone, and told him to hold on!

He was straight-laced in nature, but not stupid!

Knowing that his father must have had a deeper meaning in speaking with him about this today!

This is the test!

His father tested him!

So he had to hold on and not let his father down!

“It seems that at most, it’s a sixth-grade spiritual root.”

Lu Changsheng watched as the light clusters filled his son Lu Pingan’s body, growing brighter and brighter, accompanied by an arcane and mysterious sensation coming from him, and exhaled a light breath.

He could tell that Lu Pingan was almost at his limit.

“Mortal Enlightenment, Sixth Grade Spiritual Root, is already considered good.”

Lu Changsheng murmured in his heart.

Knowing that Hope Compass is enlightened, normal is a lower grade spirit root.

It was already considered good for Lu Pingan to have a sixth grade spiritual root.

Moreover, through the system, he knew that the truly powerful thing about the Hope Compass was not to enlighten mortals and give birth to spiritual roots!

Rather, with hope, miracles happen!

As long as the fire of hope in the host’s heart is not extinguished, the Hope Compass will be able to burst into power, stimulate potential, and fight for a ray of hope!

Whether facing a desperate situation, a strong enemy, or breaking through a realm, it can have a certain effect!

Otherwise, a Heavenly Spirit Compass, which could only enlighten people and give birth to Spirit Roots, would seem average.

“Ho ho ho–“

Lu Pingan clenched his hands tightly into fists, and on his cheeks and arms, there were small snake-like bulging veins emerging.

Along with the spiritual root being raised from lower grade to middle grade, the light within his body flourished, like a great sun blazing, almost penetrating his body.

The bones in his body clicked and clacked.

It seemed as if the meridians, the flesh and blood, were going to be destroyed, suffocating him and making it difficult to breathe in pain.

It’s as if continuing like this will kill you!

At the same time, there was a gentle spring breeze that was blowing his body and mind.

It made him physically and mentally exhausted, and his heart was so depraved that he wanted to empty his mind and body and chose to give up.

“Lu Pingan!”

A young girl in black surfaced in her mind and shouted towards the loud voice.

It seemed to be telling him to give up and not keep holding on.

The fear of death!

Instinctive depraved idleness!

It began to fill up and permeate the heart.

“I can’t hold out.”

Tightly wound bodies and minds seem to give up in this moment.

But the moment this thought came out, it was like a thunderbolt waking Lu Pingan up.

No!

I can’t give up!

It’s a test of fatherhood!

I’m gonna hold on!

Hold on!

It could be about my immortal destiny!

Lu Pingan clenched his teeth tightly and insisted.

At this moment, deep within his heart, his yearning for immortal cultivation, his longing was aroused.

Pain and depraved idleness, persistence and obsession, kept his mind and body in constant confrontation.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised to see that Lu Pingan was still gritting his teeth.

It was reasonable to say that the other party was able to achieve a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root and was already at the limit.

I didn’t expect to actually bite the bullet.

It seems that this son of his, perseverance-wise, is quite good.

“Boom!”

A throb of arcane and mysterious filled the air.

He knew that Lu Pingan’s Spiritual Root, had been upgraded to the fifth grade.

In that instant, the light inside Lu Pingan’s body also exploded.

It made his entire body as if he was soaking in a hot spring, warm, his heartstrings were relaxed, his pores were relaxed, and there was a layer of dirt discharged from his body.

The process, which seems so long, is actually exceptionally short.

The whole thing took less than a tea break.

“Dad, what’s going on?”

Lu Pingan returned to his senses and froze.

Looking at the palm of his hand, the father in front of him.

It was as if the pain, the images, before were all an illusion.

The whole body is now light, comfortable and full of strength.

He knew that he had just taken another step forward in his martial arts.

From an Innate Master who had broken through not long ago, he had broken through to an Innate Grand Master.

That is, the pinnacle of martial arts.

However, he felt that what his father had just done to him should not be as simple as a Martial Dao breakthrough.

“It’s nothing, you actually possess a spiritual root, it’s just that you didn’t detect it before.”

“Come back to Green Bamboo Mountain with me later.”

Lu Changsheng snapped his fingers and struck a cleansing spell, cleaning his son of all the dirt.

He didn’t expect that using the Hope Compass would also incidentally stimulate the potential within Lu Pingan’s body, allowing him to advance further in his martial arts.

Now, the martial arts path had been brought to an end by Lu Pingan.

However, the strength of this Innate Grandmaster was also really average.

It was equivalent to a cultivator’s minor completion of body refining.

It’s just one more innate astral energy.

“What, I possess spiritual roots!?”

When Pingan Lu heard this, his entire body froze, his face showing surprise and disbelief.

I didn’t realize that I actually possessed a spiritual root.

But thinking of the situation just now, he looked at his father and said, “Father, this spiritual root of mine, is it you just now.”

“It’s that you have a spiritual root, wait until you reach the Green Bamboo Mountain, then my father will teach you to cultivate immortality.”

Lu Changsheng got up and patted his son’s broad shoulders and said.

“Yes, Father, the child knows.”

Hearing this, Lu Pingan pursed his lips and said in a deep voice.

He didn’t know much about cultivation though.

But know a thing or two.

Something like giving birth to a person’s spiritual root belonged to the act of going against the heavens.

Today, in any case, it was the fact that one possessed a spiritual root that just hadn’t been detected before.

“Well, the five elements of the spiritual root are the same, that’s not bad.”

Lu Changsheng’s palm landed on Lu Pingan’s shoulder, and his divine sense mana traveled within him, checking the condition of his spiritual roots.

Everyone’s spiritual roots are all five elements.

But most of them are high in one way or another.

That’s why everyone would choose a cultivation technique based on the spiritual root with the highest attribute.

As for Lu Pingan’s spiritual roots, all five elements were the same, and they had all just reached the point of fifth grade.

This spiritual root attribute would be very effective if one were to cultivate the Five Obsidian Star Birth and Death Sword Code in the Seven Obsidian Great Self-Realization Sword Scripture.

“Father, how many grades of spirit root do I have?”

Lu Pingan looked at his father and inquired curiously.

He knew that spiritual roots were divided into nine grades.

So there was some curiosity as to how one’s spiritual roots were.

“Well, you have a seventh grade spiritual root.”

Lu Changsheng thought out loud.

Although a fifth grade spiritual root, in his current opinion, wasn’t that high.

But relatively speaking, it’s already pretty high.

So it’s better to say a lower spiritual root.

“Seventh grade.”

When Lu Pingan heard this, he nodded and didn’t lose anything.

In his opinion, having a spiritual root and being able to cultivate immortality was already very satisfying.

His own father was only a ninth-grade spiritual root, and step by step, he had all achieved what he had today.

One’s seventh grade spiritual root, what is there to not know!

As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to break through in the Immortal Cultivation World in the future!

After settling the matter of Lu Pingan, Lu Changsheng did not make a big deal out of it.

It was just a matter of talking to his wife Lu Lanshu, who had just seen that his son Lu Pingan possessed a spiritual root.

It should be that he didn’t detect it when he was a child, or that his spiritual roots were hidden but not obvious, so he was prepared to take him back to the Green Bamboo Mountain.

“What, Ping An possesses a spiritual root!?”

When Lu Lanshu heard this, she was stunned and had the feeling of being hit by a big pie from the sky.

She knew that her son didn’t have a spiritual root, so she had always wanted him to take charge of the secular Lu family.

But nay, her son’s lack of interest in this area and his lack of a clue was giving her a headache.

Unexpectedly, now Lu Changsheng told her that her son possessed a spiritual root.

There was a kind of joyful surprise throughout.

“Husband, are you telling the truth .”

Lu Lanshu covered her mouth with both hands and said in an astringent voice.

“Naturally, it’s true.”

“I’ll have Peace come back from time to time, so you can naturally see it then.”

Lu Changsheng said softly.

Lu Lanshu heart a burst of joy, looking at his son, out of the command account, to listen to father’s words, more listen to Aunt Miaoge words.

She knew that Lu Miaogao was the eldest miss of the Lu family, and her status was extraordinary.

If his own son could get more respect from a few proper wives at home, he would be able to live a better life in Green Bamboo Mountain.

“Mother, I know, don’t worry.”

Lu Pingan answered with a serious face.

“You’re so big, Mother won’t say anything about you.”

Lu Lanshu looked at her son with a smiling face, her heart full of joy.

He knew that his son had always been liked by Lu Changsheng.

Now that he has a spiritual root, he will definitely not suffer in the Green Bamboo Mountain.

After a moment, she somewhat hesitantly inquired to Lu Changsheng, “Husband, Ping An has a spirit root, Ning Jing, An Ning, An Ran . Could they, too, have spirit roots.”

These are her children.

She gave birth to a total of six children for Lu Changsheng.

But these six children, none of them have spiritual roots.

“Why don’t you have all the kids meet in the backyard later and I’ll recheck it.”

Lu Changsheng said after a moment of silence.

There was definitely no way to hide something like Lu Pingan having a spiritual root.

He didn’t try to hide it when he planned to bring Lu Pingan back to Green Bamboo Mountain and tell Lu Lanshu about this moment.

In that case, it’s also a good idea to go through all the children in the family again.

Just the thought that these children, when the time comes, will have expectations and will eventually be disappointed, brought a slight sigh to his heart.

“Hard work husband.”

Lu Lanshu said at once, and went to notify this news with gusto.

Since we’re back in Ruyi County.

Lu Changsheng naturally stopped by to meet Hong Yi and inquire about his son Lu Quanzhen.

However, Marquis Ruyi tells Lu Changsheng that Hong Yi is out on a mission with Lu Quanzhen.

He himself then immediately had someone send a message to Hong Yi.

Day two.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao, in the Lu Family’s backyard, checked all the children’s spiritual roots.

However, the inspection did not detect anyone with a spiritual root.

To the dismay of these children and several concubines for a while.

When Lu Pingan saw this scene, he pursed his lips lightly, his heart heavy.

It was almost certain that it was his father, Lu Changsheng, who was responsible for his possessing a spiritual root.

The thought of his father’s favoritism towards him brought a little more of a heavy sense of responsibility to his heart.

Lu Changsheng stayed in Ruyi County for five days.

On this day, Hong Yi and Lu Quanzhen arrived at the Lu Mansion in a dusty manner.

“Congratulations to Senior Lu for breaking through Foundation Establishment.”

“My child pays his respects to his father and congratulates him on his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!”

After the two arrived at the Lu Mansion, they immediately arched their hands towards Lu Changsheng.

“Hehe, Brother Hong, we’ve known each other for so many years, why should we be so outgoing.”

Lu Changsheng heard Hong Yi’s address and knew that the other party had received the information that he had broken through the Foundation Establishment.

After all, the Red Leaf Valley Workshop was located near the Green Bamboo Mountain.

And Marquis Ruyi’s House had a store in the Red Leaf Valley Square Market.

Upon receiving such news, naturally, it will be passed back at the first opportunity.

“It’s me being outgoing, please don’t be offended by Brother Lu.”

When Hong Yi heard this, he immediately said with a smile on his face.

But speech and behavior, still a little constrained, full of respect, awe.

After all, this was the Foundation Establishment Major Cultivation!

He really didn’t expect that the peasant boy that he had looked down on more than twenty years ago had actually achieved Foundation Establishment today!

Once the six of them traveled to the Green Cloud Sect to take the Immortal Sect Examination.

Three worshipped in the Green Cloud Sect, and three fell short.

Lu Changsheng was the one with the worst spirit root talent out of everyone.

But now, this person with the worst spiritual root had broken through to Foundation Establishment, which really made him feel that the world was as unpredictable as chess.

But also glad that he had made the choice to make a befriending investment in Lu Changsheng.

“The elixir is taken.”

Lu Changsheng caught a glimpse of his son Lu Quanzhen.

Seeing that his breath was a bit disorganized, he should have suffered a small injury.

Popping out a bottle of healing elixir from his storage pouch, he let his son take it.

“Father, it’s just some minor injuries, it’ll be fine after ten days and half a month of recuperation.”

Lu Quanzhen took the elixir and said respectfully.

“Take it if you’re told to, you don’t need to save that money at home.”

Lu Changsheng spoke out.

“Brother Lu, I’m to blame for this trip, going out to capture a Robber Cultivator, I thought it was a sure thing.”

“As a result, this person actually has a spirit pet that lurks in the shadows and sneaks up on Quan Zhen Xian Nephew.”

Hong Yi quickly spoke out.

“It’s fine, where can you normally go without getting hurt.”

“This kind of thing can grow on you, too.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said.

Afterwards, he let Lu Quanzhen go ahead and adjust his injuries.

“The child excuses himself.”

Lu Quanzhen sniffed and knew that his own father should have something to talk to Hong Yi, so he immediately voiced his excuses.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng took out the drinks and chatted with Hong Yi, inquiring about his son Lu Quanzhen’s performance over the past two years.

And ask about some of the Lukes.

In the face of this aspect, Hong Yi naturally did not dare to hide, will Lu Quanzhen these years performance all one by one.

Stated that at first, he did not dare to let Lu Quanzhen do anything dangerous, all the miscellaneous.

However, Lu Quanzhen had a calm and steady character, and did everything that was arranged in an organized manner.

The latter began to take charge of a number of affairs, and they were all well organized and properly handled.

In the recent half year, he himself would bring Lu Quanzhen to participate in some missions of apprehending and capturing robber cultivators and demonic beasts.

Lu Quanzhen also showed courage and determination to kill.

“Brother Hong don’t intentionally pick only the good things to say.”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he raised an eyebrow and said.

He knew that this son of his was precocious and very opinionated.

But I didn’t expect to get such an evaluation from Hong Yi.

“Brother Lu, how could I possibly deceive you about such a thing.”

“Quan Zhen Xian nephew is indeed very superior in this regard.”

Hong Yi said with a bitter smile.

Said, out loud patted a horse’s ass and said, “I think it is also since childhood under the cultivation of brother Lu you, Quanzhen Xian nephew to have this side.”

“Since that’s the case, let’s continue to let him sharpen on your side for a few years, Brother Hong.”

“His mother has been worried about him all day, and I was thinking that if he doesn’t fit in, I’ll go back earlier and arrange for him to take care of business in the marketplace.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and spoke out.

He had originally thought that if his son, Lu Quanzhen, had performed generally well, there would be no need to keep fighting over here.

Accompany yourself back to the Green Bamboo Mountain and head to the Red Leaf Valley Workshop to take charge of some affairs.

However, my son does have this talent, so I will put him on Hong Yi’s side to continue practicing.

“Don’t worry, Brother Lu, I will definitely look after Quan Zhen Xian Nephew!”

Hong Yi raised his cup and said respectfully.

He had also wanted to marry one of his daughters with spiritual roots to Lu Quanzhen.

But now that Lu Changsheng had broken through to Foundation Establishment, he was a little embarrassed to bring up the matter.

In his heart, he planned to have his daughter work harder when the time came, so that Lu Quanzhen would come and mention this matter to his father.

“Then I’ll trouble Brother Hong.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and raised his glass to the drink, also inquiring about Hong Yi’s current situation.

People helped themselves with their chores and trivialities, and as a courtesy, he would naturally help the other party with something as well.

Just like this, the two chatted and chatted Li Feiyu, Han Lin, Zhao Qingqing, and Xiao Xi Yue.

Li Fei Yu now went to Qingluan Immortal City, so many years, in addition to writing two letters, there was no contact.

Aside from Xiao Xi Yue, Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing, Lu Changsheng didn’t have much contact anymore.

However, for Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing, Hong Yi had always kept in touch and even had quite a few business dealings with the two.

For example, if the two of them were in the sect and needed to collect any materials, information, they could leave it to Hong Yi.

And if Hong Yi had any needs, he would also write to the two to inquire about them, which was also considered mutually beneficial.

During the process, Hong Yi told Lu Changsheng about their recent situation.

Han Lin had a small talent in refining weapons, and was now an upper-grade refiner with a cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Zhao Qingqing, on the other hand, already had a cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining and was preparing for Foundation Establishment.

“It seems that in a few years, Daoist Zhao will be able to break through to Foundation Establishment as well.”

Lu Changsheng came out and said with a smile.

She remembered that Zhao Qingqing had the body of grass and wood, and had been taken in as a disciple by one of the outer sect elders of the Qing Yun Sect.

It might be possible to exchange a Foundation Establishment Pill and break through to Foundation Establishment.

“It’s not that simple.”

“Several years ago, Fellow Daoist Zhao asked me to help keep an eye out for news of Foundation Establishment Spirits.”

“Indicating her contribution, she is unable to exchange her Foundation Establishment Pill in the sect, and can only choose to exchange it for a ‘Vein Protection Pill’.”

“At that time, one can only rely on the Foundation Establishment Spirit to impact the Foundation Establishment.”

Hong Yi shook his head and uttered an emotional sigh.

“Oh, doesn’t she have a Master?”

“Won’t the Master lift and help?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised when he heard this.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, the master-disciple relationship is not easy to parent.

So as a master, most of them will carry and help their disciples.

“I’ve heard a little about this matter, Fellow Daoist Zhao’s master has a grandson who is an inner disciple of the Green Cloud Sect.”

“She took Fellow Daoist Zhao as a disciple in the first place because she wanted to set up Fellow Daoist Zhao with her own grandson.”

“But Fellow Daoist Zhao was unwilling to do so, so the relationship between the two masters and disciples was not good, otherwise, with the care of his master who is an outer sect elder, Fellow Daoist Zhao might have been able to redeem a Foundation Establishment Pill.”

Hong Yi said with outburst of emotion.

“It’s true that you can’t hide from people anywhere.”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he couldn’t help but shake his head with emotion as well.

He had thought that Zhao Qingqing had awakened the body of grass and wood, and had been accepted as a disciple by the outer sect elder who was in charge of the Green Cloud Sect’s medicinal garden, and that there was hope for foundation building in the future.

As a result, I didn’t realize that I still couldn’t walk away from the human condition and be coveted.

After the two of them chatted for a long time, Hong Yi bid farewell to Lu Changsheng.

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng asked his son, Lu Quanzhen, if he was going to go back with himself on this trip, or continue on this side.

“Mother would be afraid to read about it again if she saw that I was hurt.”

“When some time passes, my child will return to the Green Bamboo Mountain and visit father, mother.”

Lu Quanzhen said so.

He’s not afraid of anything else in his life, but he’s afraid of his own mother’s chanting.

If he saw that he had injuries, he would certainly worry and not let himself go out.

When the time comes, Mother will cry and say a few words to her own father, and maybe he will agree.

“Okay, you always know what you’re doing, just watch yourself with these.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, not forcing himself.

After saying that, he continued, “In the future, if there are any unsettling things, or if you go out to do any tasks, you can bring Nine Specters over to pillage.”

“Nine Specters?”

Lu Quanzhen froze.

“It’s just Blackie.”

Lu Changsheng explained.

Because when he brought the Nine Phantom Mastiff home, he used it entirely to play with his children, so he gave the Nine Phantom Mastiff the bitchy name ‘Little Black’.

So these kids, basically, didn’t know the name Nine Specter Mastiff.

“Blackie and I don’t seem too close.”

Hearing this, Lu Quanzhen scratched his head and said.

He knew this spirit pet his father had raised was powerful.

However, the Nine Specter Mastiff was only closer to Lu Pingan, Lu Wuyou, and Lu Wuyu, the children who had grown up together.

For him, it wasn’t very intimate.

“Okay, I’ll go talk to it.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Take Lu Quanzhen to see the Nine Specters Mastiff and let it listen to Lu Quanzhen’s words normally.

At the same time, he took a Spirit Beast Bag and three bottles of Spirit Feeding Pills to Lu Quanzhen.

So that he could usually feed the Nine Phantom Mastiff, and put the Nine Phantom Mastiff in his Spiritual Pet Bag when he went out.

“Thanks, Father!”

Lu Quanzhen immediately arched his hand and said.

After settling all the matters at home, Lu Changsheng drove his spirit boat and took Lu Miaoge, Lu Pingan, and a few children, back to Green Bamboo Mountain.
