Chapter 114



114 A tangled matter

The celebration was officially held half a month after Lu chaoxi’s return to Yuyan mountain.

More than a hundred people had arrived, especially the reputable itinerant cultivators and small clans from Pingyao County. Basically, all of them had arrived.

They were no fools. Even though the Zhao clan had the most say in Pingyao County and the Lu clan’s words did not hold much weight, those who could read the situation knew that they could no longer view the Lu clan in the same way as before after the news of Lu chaoxi’s enlightenment and his great contributions on the battlefield at the northern border spread.

No one knew if the situation in anling Prefecture would change. After all, the Zhao family’s main family seemed to be stronger than the Lu family. But at the very least, the situation in Pingyao would definitely change.

At this time, no one had the courage to not come when the Lu family invited them.

He wouldn’t ask for more benefits in the future, but at least he would keep what he had now.

Otherwise, by the time the Lu clan took action and took back all the resources in Pingyao, those who did not come now would not have a good ending.

Lu chaoxi was dressed splendidly. He sat at the head of the main hall with a smile on his face as he accepted the guests ‘congratulations.

The banquet would last for an entire day and night. At night, the mountain was filled with colorful lights and fireworks formed by spells.

“Big brother, do you want to eat something?” Mingchao came to the back.

Lu chaoxi maintained the smile on his face and said softly, ” “Give me some, my face is stiff from all the smiles today.”

“Alright,” he said. Lu mingchao covered her mouth and chuckled.

……

The banquet ended and the guests gradually left.

The three siblings met again and talked about the guests at the banquet.

“Among the people we’ve invited, only two have yet to arrive.” Chaohe said, ” everyone from Pingyao is here. Mu Yangcheng from Sishui is here as well. But the MA family of Sishui and the Han family of Luyi are not here.

mu Yangcheng is very tactful. The madam and the Han’s cowardice, ” Ming Chao snorted coldly and said, ” we can’t control them now, but in the future, they will regret it!

Lu chaoxi was a little puzzled. forget about the madam. We don’t have much of a relationship. But if it’s the Han family, shouldn’t Xuanji be angry? ” Didn’t they always have a good relationship with us? Didn’t we also borrow a sum of money from the Han clan for the foundation building elixir we gave xueting back then? they even lent it to us without any hesitation.”

“That was in the past.” Lu Chaohe said, ” actually, the change only happened in the past two years. There was a descendant of the Han family named han Leqing. He was a cultivator with double spiritual roots and had a good perception. The Han family had always had high hopes for him. He had reached the ninth level of the Qi refining stage, but the foundation building elixir was rare. The year before last, they finally managed to obtain one. It was said that the Han clan had paid a great price for that foundation building pill and had even used the Zhao clan’s connections. In this way, they will naturally distance themselves from us.”

Mingchao was still indignant,”I’m afraid they didn’t expect that big brother could actually reach the initial enlightenment stage!”

it’s true that they didn’t think of it, but even if they did, there’s nothing they could do. After all, we can’t help them get a foundation building pill.

Lu chaoxi said, “let’s talk about it in the future. It’s not appropriate for us to make enemies everywhere. We’ve just started to improve. Even if we want to expand our influence in the future, we will start from Pingyao. We don’t have time to deal with Sishui and Luyi for the time being.”

……

Just as Lu chaoxi had said, the Lu family could not be bothered with anything else for the time being.

They did not even bother to fight for the interests of Pingyao County for the time being.

They had three important matters at hand, two of which were related to the upgrade of the spiritual heritage.

The plan to upgrade the spirit Lake vein had already begun. The Lu clan had hired 50 water element cultivators from Pingyao and the surrounding counties to empty the lake of water. Lu mingchao rushed over very quickly and was in charge of the work.

In order to hire these water element cultivators, the Lu clan had to pay more than 300 spirit stones, and the construction time was about one and a half months.

The unaffiliated cultivators did not need to do anything about the underground spirit stream anymore. Lu Chaohe would help Lu mingchao with that.

The other matter was the upgrade of the spirit vein on Yuyan mountain.

When they heard Lu Qing say that they were going to level up now, the three members of the clan did not have any objections. However, they also felt their hearts sink.

They all knew that this was a huge expense and a long-term investment. It was so long that if Lu Chaohe had not advanced to Qiming, he might not have been able to see Yuyan mountain advance to level three again in his life.

However, Lu Qing’s following words made them feel better.

“Yuyan mountain was originally a level-four spirit vein. Although it has dropped to level two after being blown up, I think there’s still a way to restore it. According to the formation I gave you, if you put in 1000 spirit stones a year, I estimate that you should be able to recover to the third rank within ten years.”

Of course, this was not the truth. However, Lu Qing had to give a reasonable explanation for the upgrade of his spirit meridians.

It didn’t matter if he believed it or not, as long as it made sense.

They had already started working on this. On the second day after the banquet for Lu chaoxi’s Ascension to the initial enlightenment stage ended, Lu Chaohe personally led a team to set up the formation that Lu Qing had mentioned. The 1000 spirit stones for this year had also been buried under the formation.

In addition to these two big projects, there was another very important thing: Who was Lu chaoxi going to give the two foundation building pills that he had brought back this time?

One should be reserved for Lu mingling.

Ming Ling came from Lu Jinchao’s lineage. His father was Lu tingyuan, a ninth-tier Qi refining cultivator in the family. His grandmother, Lu Jinchao, was Lu Qing’s sixth child. However, it had been many years since he had shown himself in the clan.

The previous foundation building elixir was actually a fight between Ming Ling and Xue ting.

Ming Ling’s talent and future were very outstanding. A triple spirit root was not considered good, but if his main spirit root was a lightning spirit root, although it was not comparable to a double spirit root, it was still not bad. In addition to his outstanding comprehension, he had been improving very quickly ever since he started cultivating.

He was forty-six years old this year, but he had already reached the ninth level of the Qi refining stage and was already prepared to break through to the foundation building stage.

Back then, he did not win against Lu xueting because she had obviously contributed more to the family than he did. But in fact, compared to the future of the great Dao, he was definitely more promising.

This time, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to take one.

As for the last one, it was a little difficult to deal with.

Lu chaoxi had his eyes on Lu mingpu.

Ming PU had the wood, water, and metal three spiritual roots. He was 44 years old this year and was at the eighth level of the Qi refining stage. He should be able to reach the ninth level of the Qi refining stage before the age of 50. He would probably be able to reach the peak of the ninth level when he was 53 years old and be prepared to break through.

Furthermore, he was also the clan’s best spirit botanist. He was in charge of cultivating the clan’s medicinal garden. The five elements Spirit Tree that was transplanted to the spirit well vein and the white spirit apricot tree on Yuyan mountain were also taken care of by him. His contributions were not bad.

In terms of status, mingpu was Lu chaoxi’s grandson. However, this might not be the reason why Lu chaoxi wanted to take care of him. More importantly, mingpu was Lu Tingzhou’s third son.

Tingzhou had died on the battlefield at the northern borders. Lu chaoxi hoped that this foundation building elixir could help the children in Tingzhou.

However, his fifth brother, Lu chaojun, had also looked for Lu chaoxi. He wanted to fight for his own child, Lu tingchou.

Ting Chou was 58 years old this year and was already at the ninth-stage Qi refinement realm. He was also prepared to break through.

With his age, if she didn’t give him the chance, the time to build the foundation would pass.

This matter was really confusing.
