Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1876: 485: Shadow Sect Returns, Whale Hunt Banquet! (part 2)

Even though Lu Changsheng obtained a handful of Fourth Rank Talismans from Lou Mountain True Monarch along with the other pair.

Yet, not every Talisman among them is capable of fostering Lu Wangshu’s Life-bound Divine Talisman.

To achieve that, he must transform Yin Yang Magic Power into the power of the "Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture", after which he can sketch and form particular Talismans based on her specific condition.

Concerning other Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, he possesses plenty already, but nothing stands out as especially fitting for his daughter.

Still, with his daughter gazing at him in a begging manner full of woe, he turned his hand over, and ten Superior Grade Spirit Stones materialized.

The rich rewards from the Secret Realm adventure left Lu Changsheng feeling more open-handed than he normally would.

Chiefly, it's the Storage Bag belonging to the Three Treasures Incarnation that provided the bulk, though it lacks numerous Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and holds only simple materials.

"Thank you, Father!"

At the sight of them, Lu Wangshu's eyes formed joyful arcs, and her features burst into a vivid grin reminiscent of springtime blooms, with two subtle dimples gracing her cheeks, portraying her as a lighthearted and mischievous maiden, devoid of any prior signs of misery and discontent.

Time flew by, and ten days elapsed in an instant.

The Whale Hunting Banquet commenced.

While Lu Changsheng had originally planned a modest gathering to convey his stance before holding a trade fair.

Given that this marked Lu Changsheng's debut as the Great Dream City Lord in the eyes of the public, Ling Zixiao arranged everything with utmost splendor.

Over a year and a half prior, invitations went out to various Spirit Chefs to prepare dishes centered on the flesh of the Third Rank Demon King and the Fourth-Order Void Kun.

The beverages consisted of the quasi-Fourth Rank Spiritual Wine that Lu Changsheng had acquired from Tianyuan True Monarch.

Luckily, only a limited number of High Rank Cultivators attended, so the exquisite wines and gourmet dishes didn't demand excessive quantities, sparing the trouble of meeting such elevated standards.

As the Vice City Lord of Immortal City, Lu Changsheng arrived at the venue ahead of time, taking charge of the reception and encountering numerous well-known Nascent Soul Cultivators.

For instance, from Qingyun Sect, where Sect Master Liuyun True Man showed up in person.

Lu Changsheng shared courteous words with this leader of Qingyun Sect.

Back in the inner chamber, Lu Changsheng relaxed in conversation with Hong Lian, as the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] he held shimmered with light, allowing him to monitor the arriving Nascent Soul Immortals.

Typically, employing Divine Sense, Spiritual Eye Pupil Technique, or similar methods to peek at others counts as a grave discourtesy.

However, should one's power vastly surpass the target's, leaving them utterly oblivious, the situation changes entirely.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like various cultivation levels and strengths are being masked to some degree."

Via the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror], Lu Changsheng observed that the Qingyun Sect Leader, said to be at Core Formation Sixth Layer, had actually advanced to Late Stage and probably reached the peak of Core Formation Seventh Layer.

During his earlier trip to Qingyun Sect, thanks to the suppression of Qi and Blood Magical Power, he failed to pierce through the other's true cultivation.

"So this is Jiang Country’s fairest beauty..."

Lu Changsheng's gaze shifted next to a lady who moved with poise and refinement, alluring and mesmerizing, her locks arranged in a soaring immortal style, brows painted like fine art, a sheer veil adorned with plum blossoms concealing her visage while revealing hints of her porcelain complexion, her aura otherworldly and sublime.

This lady served as the fresh Sect Leader of Huan Yin Sect, Fairy Qinqing, who had long earned the moniker 'Fairy of the Qin.'

Following her breakthrough to Core Formation, devotees dubbed her Jiang Country’s most beautiful woman.

Nevertheless, peering through the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] at Fairy Qinqing's actual looks, Lu Changsheng reckoned her attractiveness, while striking, fell short of truly claiming Jiang Country’s top beauty spot.

Neither Yun Wanshang nor the Core Formation Xiao Xiyue paled in comparison to this Fairy Qinqing.

That said, in the realm of cultivation, once cultivators hit Core Formation, the majority devote themselves to practice, except for Huan Yin Sect, which specializes in melody-based cultivation methods, shining in music, performance, and enchantment arts, and thus valuing outward acclaim for allure.

"If figures like Sister Miaoge or Xi Yue vied for Jiang Country’s most beautiful woman title, it would seem rather unworthy of them."

Though he couldn't directly assess Fairy Qinqing’s Core Formation grade.

Judging by her magic power flow, Lu Changsheng estimated Fairy Qinqing’s Core Formation to be merely Grade Five, perhaps even Grade Six.

"Moreover, I'm curious about the proficiency of Huan Yin Sect’s music and dance skills."

Lu Changsheng regarded Fairy Qinqing, who carried herself with grace and dignity akin to a celestial from the Nine Heavens, otherworldly and exalted, radiating timeless elegance, yet infused with seductive charm and diverse poise, as he mused.

After years of cultivation, he had seldom witnessed elite melody cultivation techniques, dances, or bewitching arts.

A spark of curiosity ignited in him, eager to explore and perhaps guide his daughter Lu Baixi in them.

After all, the inheritance from her White Snake Bloodline followed the path of melody.

...

Through the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror], Lu Changsheng kept watching the attendees.

Right then, his eyes caught a stern-faced middle-aged man clad in black robes, causing a slight furrow in his brow.

The Whale Hunting Banquet permitted entry to all with Core Formation Cultivation, drawing in some independent cultivators.

This individual was an unaffiliated cultivator called [Star Hiding Hermit], possessing Initial Stage Core Formation cultivation.

Yet, via the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror], Lu Changsheng immediately detected something off.

In essence, the mirror's first probe failed to reveal this man's true depths.

This struck him as highly unusual!

With the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] at his disposal, Lu Changsheng could penetrate even the Cultivation and Magical Power Mechanism of Late Stage Core Formation experts.

"Could this fellow be a Nascent Soul Cultivator?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes tightened, as he consulted the Artifact Spirit A Wu, inquiring whether it could distinguish illusion from reality.

"Buzz!"

The Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror vibrated softly, with rays of sun and moon swirling, and within its surface, it seemed as though celestial bodies aligned, bridging eras past and present, mirroring the cosmos.

"No."

A Wu's flat, emotionless reply echoed, then it linked with Lu Changsheng's mind, relaying details about the black-robed figure.

"Core Formation Peak!"

Upon viewing the black-robed man's cultivation realm, Lu Changsheng halted briefly, filled with considerable astonishment.
