Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1896: 491: Punishment Beast, 1,000 Zhuyan Awaken! (3)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Consider examining the condition of the latter's Puppet Spirit Soul in detail first, before devising a proper resolution.
In that instant, something crossed Lu Changsheng's mind, stirring his thoughts; he lifted his palm gently, summoning the Soul-calling Beast from within the Qiankun Shadow-Confining Belt.
"Chi chi chi..."
The moment Tihun materialized, its pitch-black eyes glowing with an odd yellow hue fixed straight on Qian Zhuyan, pupils brimming with intense desire.
Qian Zhuyan, concealed within the Dark Armor Puppet, froze abruptly, as though struck by overwhelming dread.
This reaction intensified because his soul, now akin to a Puppet Spirit, sensed a primal foe, causing an instinctive shudder deep in his essence.
"Tihun, got any ideas to fix this?"
Since the Soul-calling Beast holds power over various ghosts and corpse fiends, perhaps it possessed a method to address Qian Zhuyan's plight.
The simian Tihun leaped from Lu Changsheng's grasp onto Qian Zhuyan's shoulder, inhaling deeply through its wide nostrils, before conveying to Lu Changsheng its ability to devour the opponent's spectral soul essence.
"???"
Qian Zhuyan maintained flawless command of the puppet thanks to his soul's metamorphosis into a Puppet Spirit.
Should Tihun consume it, his soul would suffer grave damage, and he'd forfeit all dominion over the puppet as well.
"Never mind, you're off the hook for now."
Lu Changsheng gestured for Tihun to retreat, intending to investigate further down the line.
Yet the mere emergence of Tihun amplified Qian Zhuyan's terror and apprehension toward the Lu Changsheng standing before him.
...
After five days, Lu Changsheng finished mending Qian Zhuyan's form and integrated the acquired Soul Nourishing Wood, Soul Crystal, and Star Shining Stone into her frame, prolonging her awareness duration.
Enhancing the puppet's grade and refining its caliber demanded considerable effort, especially with his pressing obligations elsewhere.
Once he passed the puppet-forging resources to Qian Zhuyan, advising her to seek out Hong Lian for any needs, Lu Changsheng departed to spend time with his spouses, concubines, and offspring.
"Lu Lang..."
Noticing Lu Changsheng had wrapped up his duties, Meng Xiaochan promptly brought up their daughter Lu Mengchan's impending Foundation Establishment.
Through years of dedicated Cultivation, Lu Mengchan's progress had hit its zenith, ready to advance into Foundation Establishment whenever, forming a Flawless Foundation.
To Meng Xiaochan, Foundation Establishment marked the inaugural stage of Cultivation, the gateway to the Grand Dao—vital and demanding absolute perfection.
Though she believed her child's groundwork was exceptionally solid, outshining her own youthful days by miles, she held off until Lu Changsheng could conclude his affairs and offer his insight.
She recognized her own shortcomings compared to him, both in perspective and mastery of the "Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Secret Scripture."
"Tsk, that's already quite impressive."
Lu Changsheng grasped his daughter Lu Mengchan's wrist, channeling Yin Yang Magic Power into her meridians.
Thanks to the Calamitous Poison Body, diligent practice of the "Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Secret Scripture," and ingestion of countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures suited to the Calamitous Poison Body, Lu Mengchan's Spiritual Power surpassed even what Lu Changsheng wielded in his Qi Refinement days.
Without drawing on Xiao Xiyue's Taiyin Moonlight, the Golden Crow Elixir's Great Sun Essence, and Yun Wanshang's Spirit-nurturing Energy to elevate his Dao Foundation into the Yin Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation.
Nor leveraging Ling Zixiao's Dragon Roar Physique, Nangong Mili's Taiyin Jade Liquid, alongside numerous other Spiritual Bodies, his own Dao Foundation could never have ascended so high.
"I'll guide Mengmeng through her Foundation Establishment breakthrough soon."
Considering his child's prodigious gifts and Meng Xiaochan's worries, Lu Changsheng decided to safeguard the process himself, employing the Yin-Yang Source to bolster her foundational setup.
Were it not for the scarcity of Five Elements Spirit Fruits in the household, and the Myriad Spirits Heaven Dew devoted to the Xuanwood Vine over the years, Lu Changsheng might have offered her a Five Elements Spirit Fruit to test the limits of her Dao Foundation's growth.
"Thank you, Lu Lang."
Meng Xiaochan, learning of Lu Changsheng's intent to oversee their daughter's advancement personally, responded with immediate glee, her brows arching in pure happiness.
"Thank you, Daddy."
Lu Mengchan chimed in sweetly, her refined and lovely features showing a touchingly compliant allure that stirred warmth in the heart.
"Hahaha, no need for thanks on this."
Lu Changsheng chuckled heartily, tweaking the soft, pale cheeks of his wife and daughter with a grin.
Next, he inspected his Storage Ring for any Heavenly and Earthly Treasures or Elixirs that might assist his daughter.
At his current stature, however, scarcely any such items proved useful for Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment.
Besides, commonplace Heavenly and Earthly Treasures would offer no benefit to her and could potentially taint the clarity of her Dao Foundation.
