Chapter 282 – Heavenly Grade Demon Plant, Guile Hell Demon Flower!

Chapter 282 – Heavenly Grade Demon Plant, Guile Hell Demon Flower!

Mt. Bihu.

Lu Family Mansion, Council Hall.

“Currently there are three hundred and sixteen family members, three Foundation Establishment cultivators, four in the late stage of Qi Refining, thirty-four in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and sixteen in the early stage of Qi Refining”

Lu Changsheng sat in the main seat, calmly listening to his wife Lu Miaoyun’s summary.

Without realizing it, the members of his Lu family had already surpassed three hundred.

And while there were three hundred and sixteen family members, there were fifty-seven Immortal Cultivators!

This is a very alarming percentage!

The reason why there were so many Immortal Cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining was solely because all twenty-one of his wives and concubines were in this cultivation realm.

Like in the case of sons and daughters, currently thirteen people have broken through the middle stage of Qi Refining, and sixteen people are in the early stage of Qi Refining.

“This year’s income totaled thirty-one thousand one hundred and forty-three coins, and the expenses thirty-five thousand six hundred and sixty-five coins, with the family salary accounting for seventy percent of the expenses . “

Lu Miaoyun continued to speak out.

In the hall, the crowd looked a little heavy as they heard about another negative expense, a loss.

After all, it’s been more than four years and Mt. Baker has still been in the red and hasn’t turned a profit.

And the reason for the loss, the major spending, is clear to everyone in the field.

Lu Changsheng himself did not feel too much about this, thinking that four years could be so considered good.

After all, in his opinion, the expenses of starting a family and giving birth to children, which belongs to the necessities, according to the long-term calculation, how to make a profit.

However, this family expenditure aspect did not include the spending on the ‘Divine Wood Grand Formation’, the ‘Vast Sea Array’, cultivating Dao soldiers, and so on.

Otherwise, this expenditure would be even more exaggerated.

“The revenue side of the business has improved from last year and we are aiming to break even next year.”

Lu Changsheng let out a light laugh and knocked on the table, “Next, I’ll say two things.”

“Our family has been in a semi-closed state all these years, and many of our industries are not easy to take care of and manage.”

“Therefore, starting from this year, when family children reach eighteen years of age and break through the fourth level of Qi Refining, they can apply to go out to run and take care of business industries.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his concubines and children and spoke out.

“Apply to go out and run a business estate?”

Some of the Lu Family’s children looked at each other with delight in their eyes.

These four years of sealing the mountain, although no one mentioned it, there are still some Lu family children who still have quite a few words in their hearts.

After all, at this age, when you are in the prime of your life, you are full of yearning for the outside world, so naturally you want to go out and see more.

Not to say travel, experience, grew up in the Green Bamboo Mountain, Bihu Mountain, a bunch of rules at home constraints, how will also be bored, yearning for the outside.

And many of the concubines and children heard this and knew it was another opportunity to perform.

“As for going out to practice, you need to have your cultivation break through the sixth level of Qi Refining before you can apply.”

Lu Changsheng continued.

Previously, Lu Quanzhen had proposed that he wanted to go out for training, and he was definitely not the only one who had such thoughts.

So he also directly set the rule to set the cultivation level at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

For the current sons and daughters in the family to say, this cultivation is not too high and not too low, the age is roughly around twenty-five years old, and there is also a certain amount of experience.

“The last thing is about the head of the family.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his children below and spoke out.

At present, the affairs of the family are divided into a relatively fine, each in his own way, trivial matters basically coordinated by Lu Miaoyun to deal with.

Some major events were decided by him and Ling Zixiao.

But now that the family has decided to let go of the mountain gate, whether it’s family trivia, or business, and dealing with other families, there needs to be one person, the head of the Lu family.

“Master of the house!?”

Hearing this, many of the concubines’ sons and daughters looked astonished and looked at Lu Pingan, Lu Quanzhen, and Lu Yun.

Although the Lu family didn’t talk too much about the difference between the first and the last.

However, in the eyes of most concubines’ children, there will still be a distinction in this regard.

After all, although Lu Changsheng treated all his sons and daughters equally in terms of welfare benefits, there would still be obvious favoritism in his daily life.

Lu Pingan, Lu Quanzhen, and Lu Yun were all born to his wife, and were relatively old and favored by Lu Changsheng, so most people guessed that the family head would choose from them.

“Currently, the first head of our Lu Family will be Lu Yun.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t engage in any voting and looked directly at his son Lu Yun and said.

The choice of Lu Yun, on the one hand, is that his son Lu Pingan, Lu Quanzhen have no idea of serving as the head of the family.

The other aspect is also the aspect of competence.

Although Lu Yun lacked initiative and vigor, under Lu Miaoyun’s tutelage, he was not bad at doing things.

As the head of the family, with the help of Lu Miaoyun, her mother, in the early stages, at least nothing would go wrong.

Besides, this son is not without merit.

At least it was diligent and obedient, and made an example of marrying and having children.

Today there is one wife, three concubines and three children.

No comparison to him as a father though.

But among these sons and daughters with spiritual roots, it was already considered very good.

“Thank you father, I will fulfill my father’s high expectations and live up to them!”

When Lu Yun heard this, he took a deep breath and rose with some joy and nervousness to arch his hand.

Although the head of a cultivation family is different from the head of a family in the secular world.

Serving as the head of the family would be equivalent to half-abandoning the Immortal Path, and one would have to spend much of their time on daily chores, with basically no hope of building a foundation.

But the identity, status, and power of the head of the family was still unquestionable.

“Congratulations Yun Di!”

“Congratulations Brother Yun!”

“Greetings, Family Master!”

Immediately, someone congratulated towards Lu Yun.

“Well, behave yourself.”

“The position of Head of Household is held for a period of five years, with a maximum of four terms.”

“I will make a judgment based on the performance of the tenure, do a good job, heavily rewarded, continue to serve, not do a good job, just replace, understand.”

Lu Changsheng spoke out.

He chose Lu Yun as the family head, apart from the factor of Lu Miaoyun, it was also the fact that there were not many sons and daughters to choose from in his family at the moment.

If Lu Yun’s ability really isn’t good enough to fit in, he’ll switch as usual and pick from other kids.

After all, in his eyes, there really wasn’t any difference between the first and the concubine in this regard, and serving as the head of the family was mainly based on ability.

“Yes, Father!”

Lu Yun took a deep breath and nodded in response.

These things, he had long known in advance from his mother Lu Miaoyun’s mouth, and had mental preparations.

“This Family Assembly, this is where it ends, if you still have anything else, you can come directly to me.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his concubines and children and spoke out.

“Yes, husband, father!”

The people in the hall rose and responded respectfully.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng took a few of his wives and left directly in the middle of the hall.

With the end of the Family Assembly, Bihu Mountain was bustling with activity.

Lu Changsheng also accompanied his concubines and children during these times, discussing the arrangements for the family’s children to go abroad.

After all, the sons and daughters of the outward journey, are prioritized to pick like the Red Leaf Valley Square Market, the Nine Dragons Square Market, this kind of Square Market close to the Bihu Mountain.

On top of that, he also asked Red Lotus to refine identity tokens for the family.

It allows all the Lu family members to sense each other’s location, send messages to each other, ask for help, verify their identities, and so on, through the jade tags.

And, during these times, he also spent more time on warming up the third-order treasure talismans he had prepared for his son and daughter.

“My lord, what do you think of this style?”

That day, ‘Xu Ruyin’ handed Lu Changsheng the refined identity token.

The token was roughly three fingers wide, as if it were made of gold and jade, with turquoise accents around the edges.

On one side, a mountain and sea pattern was drawn, and on the other, the word ‘Lu’, ornate with a touch of simplicity.

This token is capable of sensing each other’s presence within a hundred miles, and simple messaging within a thousand miles.

If Lu Changsheng wanted to, he could use the Red Lotus Sect’s Wuji Tracking Technique to find the location of the token.

“Not bad, just mark each token well and make a simple distinction.”

After Lu Changsheng took a few glances, he asked Red Lotus to make a simple mark on one side of the character ‘Lu’, and it was settled like that.

There are thirteen sons and daughters in the family who are eligible to apply to go out.

However, there were currently only six people applying to go out, so he wasn’t in a hurry about refining the tokens.

At the rate of Red Lotus refining one in three to five days, it was also enough.

After finishing the general arrangement of the family matters, Lu Changsheng remembered that the auction of the White Jade House was almost out of results.

Spinning around, he went out for a trip and arrived at the White Jade Building in the Nine Dragons Square Market.

“Mr. Ye, inside please.”

“The four maids that you previously auctioned off at our White Jade House, aside from the failed auction of number sixty-six, numbers sixty-nine and seventy-seven, as well as number ninety-eight were all successful bidders.”

“I don’t know if you’re confirming it, Mr. Ye.”

When the White Jade Building Steward saw Lu Changsheng, he immediately said enthusiastically.

In the Nine Dragons Market, to be able to spend nearly 50,000 spirit stones to purchase a maid definitely belonged to a big customer, so it was very enthusiastic.

“Did sixty-six fail.”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he raised an eyebrow and didn’t care too much.

Spinning around, he finished paying the final payment for the remaining three maids.

Since these three maids also had to be shipped from other places by White Jade House, they would need to wait for more than a month.

In response, Lu Changsheng made sure of the matter and then excused himself and left, stating that he would come over to pick up the person at that time and did not need to be sent home.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

“This is a life-preserving talisman refined by my father, you will apply a drop of brow blood and essence blood on it.”

“If you encounter a life and death crisis, you can activate the talisman to escape.”

“The matter of this talisman must never be revealed to the public, understand!”

Lu Changsheng looked at one of his sons and daughters in front of him with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.

This talisman of his was named ‘Substitute Talisman’ and ranked at the lower third rank.

The effect was somewhat similar to his substitute life talisman, which could be linked through the essence blood body and soul, and when in danger, form a substitute puppet to block the robbery, and then move thousands of miles away.

It was just that the effect was far less effective than the Life Replacement Talisman, and at the highest, it could only protect against a JieDan strike.

And unlike a substitute talisman, it is able to block the life of a foe and protect against some difficult means.

But for these sons and daughters, it was enough.

They were all heading to the workshop to take care of their business, and unless they encountered any powerful robber cultivators, the probability was that they wouldn’t be able to use these talismans.

“Yes, Father!”

It was the first time they had seen their father look this majestic.

Knowing that the stakes were high, they didn’t dare to take it lightly, and they all made their Heart Demon Oaths.

Then looking at the talismans in their hands that were like purple dragon scales, outlining arcane tadpoles, each of them looked delighted.

After all, they all knew that their own father was a top-level talisman master with a great reputation, and this kind of life-preserving talisman must not be simple.

Seeing his sons and daughters put the ‘Substitute Talisman’ to use one by one, Lu Changsheng explained a few things and then left.

Dawn broke in the east and the morning light was bright.

At the top of Biyun Peak, Bihu Mountain was at the highest point, where an ancient tree tens of feet high, with a golden jade body and crystalline light flowing from it stood.

This place was the Bihu Mountain restricted area, where the old ancestor female monarch practiced, and could easily overlook the entire Bihu Mountain landscape.

At this moment, above the ancient tree, a man and a woman were doing something shameful and pleasurable.

Lu Changsheng let Xu Ruyin hold onto the branch, while he himself held her supple and strong in the back.

“Well~”

Xu Ruyin was dressed in a red gown, her two even legs were like jade pillars, forced to pad her toes, and from time to time she raised her heels high, causing her greenish-white jade toes to blush.

“Miss Xu, do you like this?” Lu Changsheng voiced out a flirtation.

After spending so much time together, he naturally didn’t hold back and plucked the fruit that was Xu Ruyin.

Perhaps under his daily tutelage, or under Ling Zixiao’s brainwashing, Xu Ruyin also gradually resigned herself to her fate, and took the initiative to give herself up during one of his and Ling Zixiao’s post-drinking coitus.

Faced with this situation, Lu Changsheng naturally wouldn’t pretend to be a gentleman.

In the days that followed, Xu Ruyin became the equivalent of becoming like Ling Zixiao’s common maid, helping to serve and make Lu Changsheng fast and comfortable.

And on weekdays, some of Lu Changsheng’s bad play with his wife could make Xu Ruyin cooperate.

“Ooooohhhh hi . Like.”

Xu Ruyin was forced to hold onto the branch of the Sumeru, her pair of beautiful eyes closed tightly, her fiery red hair dancing messily, and a stuttering sound coming out of her mouth.

At this height, the two could still see the fishermen fishing in the Bishui Lake, and some of the casual apprentices who were practicing on the island at the center of the lake.

“Do you think they’ll see us? Or think about what we’re doing here?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the smoky blue water lake, his palms wandering over the slippery skin, and said softly.

Although Xu Ruyin knew that with the ‘Upside Down Five Elements Formation’ the following definitely could not see here, but between the opening and closing of the mesmerizing beautiful eyes, looking at the scenery below, she was still all tense, and an unspeakable excitement welled up in the bottom of her heart.

Eventually, under the crisp sound, Xu Ruyin wailed and moaned and burst out, going limp with a hint of a sob, her hands hanging down helplessly.

When Lu Changsheng saw this, he thought that Xu Ruyin was at least at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but her body was still weak.

With a slap on her jade buttocks, he wrapped his arms around her petite body and changed positions to continue.

Just then, a system beep sounded.

【Congratulations to the host’s thirty heirs for completing the introduction of qi into the body and stepping into the path of immortality, obtaining the bloodline effect: the probability of the heir’s spiritual root is increased by 5%, and obtaining a chance to draw a lottery!

“Huh? Thirty.”

Lu Changsheng’s heart paused slightly when he heard this system beep.

He had guessed this when he hadn’t been prompted twenty-five times before.

Hearing the system with the share of money, Lu Changsheng is also in a good mood, holding the wonderful waist, long drive, straight into the dragon, venting the heart of pleasure.

The beauty’s jade body trembled, shivered and shivered, discarded her armor, was in a state of distress, and the sweet springs gushed forth.

It wasn’t until the sun was up that Lu Changsheng put Xu Ruyin back to rest and went to the talisman room himself to start the lottery.

”System, lottery!”

Lu Changsheng murmured in his heart.

At that moment, a light red large carousel of golden light emerged and began to rotate for a draw, before stopping at the ‘Pets’ column.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a spirit pet: the Guile Demon Flower!

[Reward has been issued to the system space, the host can check at any time]

A flower pattern with a dark body and blood-colored surroundings emerged from the Grand Carousel, accompanied by a system tone.

“Guile Demon Flower, Demon Plant?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes lit up when he saw this reward.

Although he didn’t have much of an idea about pets, he definitely made an exception for the Spirit Plant System pets.

After all, through the Sumeru Tree King, he knew that this kind of demonic plant was also capable of being used to cultivate the ‘Heaven and Earth Longevity Method’.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng looked to the system space.

[Demonic beasts: The Guile Demon Flower]

[Grade: Upper Heavenly Rank]

[Description: A fifth-order demon from the Underworld, born with the blood of countless living beings, feeding on flesh and blood and souls, with a prison in its belly, imprisoning living beings, and currently possessing second-order strength].

“Hiss, upper heavenly rank! Possessing second rank strength!?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the grade and description of the Guile Prison Demon Flower in front of him and beamed with joy.

Whether it was this grade or strength, it made him feel that this Guile Prison Demon Flower was very good.

Really the problem is that it looks a bit sinister.

“Born with the help of the blood of living beings poured out, feeding on flesh, blood, and souls.”

“Does this mean that this Demon Flower, doesn’t really need Spirit Vein Aura, as long as it has enough blood and flesh?”

“If that’s the case, planting this Guile Demon Flower won’t add too much pressure to the current situation at Bi Hu Mountain.”

“I wonder if this demonic flower can be used to cultivate the ‘Heaven and Earth Longevity Method’.”

Lu Changsheng muttered in his heart when he saw the demonic plants in the system space.

The intention was to give this demonic plant to Lu Miaohuan, or perhaps Qu Zhenzhen to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method.

Through Lu Miaoyun’s cultivation of the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, he knew that after refining the ‘Heaven and Earth Spiritual Plants’ into their native spiritual roots, other than affecting the growth of the spiritual plants to a certain extent, there wouldn’t be too many other problems.

And the Guile Hell Demon Flower, as a demonic plant with a heavenly rank bloodline, definitely met the required conditions to cultivate the ‘Heaven and Earth Longevity Method’.

If it was used to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, the effect might be much better than the Spiritual Brightness Treasure Tree.

“But this Guile Hell Demon Flower should suit Huanhuan a bit?”

Lu Changsheng stroked his chin.

This Creepy Prison Demon Flower was a bit like a demon, no matter its appearance or description.

According to Qu Zhenzhen’s character, he was afraid to look at it, so how would he dare to feed it with blood and flesh.

Although Lu Miaohuan didn’t necessarily like it, she was significantly better than Qu Zhenzhen and shouldn’t mind this aspect too much.

“If we let Suya catalyze another companion spirit plant, then both Huanhuan and Zhenzhen’s spirit plants will be solved.”

Lu grew to exhale.

He intended to pick a time to plant this Guile Demon Flower and let Lu Miaohuan and Qu Zhenzhen take a look at it.

Half a month later, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Nine Dragons Market.

Almost three months later, his three attendants had been delivered long ago.

Lu Changsheng looked at the three maids in front of him.

And when Shao Yuyao, Xiao Yueru and other people are almost the same, three people are appearance and figure, but the eyes are lightless, full of numbness.

The only difference was that two of the three women had fifth grade spiritual roots and one had a sixth grade spiritual root.

“Fifth-grade spirit root.”

Lu Changsheng was quite emotional in his heart.

Judas remembered that the first time he came to the White Jade House, he could only afford to purchase a ninth-grade spirit root attendant.

At that time, a medium grade spiritual root was simply unattainable to oneself.

But after years of hard work and struggle on his part, a woman with a middle-grade spiritual root was just about an expense to him.

There were even female cultivators with medium-grade spiritual roots who took the initiative to come to the door and fall on their faces.

“Wealth Couple Dharma Land, no wonder wealth is in the first place, tsk tsk tsk, money can make the ghosts push the mill.”

After Lu Changsheng slightly lamented, he said that he had no problem bringing these three back to Bi Hu Mountain.

During this time, this Steward Xia also upgraded Lu Changsheng’s membership.

It means that with a high membership level, the number of maids that can be seen at future auctions will be increased in quality.

This made Lu Changsheng surprised, not realizing that the auction was also divided into levels.

Immediately, he asked this Steward Xia what price the previous few top-grade spirit roots were auctioned for.

The other party didn’t hide it, stating that number one auctioned for 150,000 and number two auctioned for 160,000 spirit stones, staggering Lu Changsheng.

It felt like there were still more rich people than one could imagine, but with this kind of financial power, it was definitely not a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it must be a JieDan Realist!
