Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1919: 499: Demon Fog, The Wedding! (part 2)

Meanwhile.
Lu Miaoge, along with Lu Ping’an and the rest, reached the Heavenly Sword Sect.
In contrast to Lu Changsheng’s grand marriage proposal to the Qingyun Sect back in the day, Qin Yi had gotten wind of the news ahead of time and stood ready outside the sect’s entrance.
"Lu Ping’an."
Qin Yi donned the sword robe typical of a Heavenly Sword Sect disciple, her figure tall and elegant, resembling a bamboo sword rising proudly in the spring breeze.
Her dark hair was neatly bundled up, and though her lovely features bore faint marks of passing years, she still exuded a bold and vibrant aura.
As she spotted the people surrounding Lu Ping’an, a touch of caution flickered across her expression. She clasped her hands in salute and declared, "Greetings, Miao Ge True Man."
"Little Qin, it’s been ages."
Lu Miaoge, carrying a soft and refined air like flowing water, drew near with warmth, naturally gaining affection, and added, "Simply address me as Aunt."
"Aunt."
Qin Yi, without her typical edge, replied compliantly.
Aside from Lu Miaoge being Lu Ping’an’s senior, her position as a Nascent Soul Immortal alone commanded reverence.
"Sister Qin."
"Sister-in-law."
Right then, Lu Wangshu, Lu Qingqi, and the others came up to offer their greetings.
"Xiao He, Wangshu..."
Qin Yi was acquainted with Lu Linghe and recognized Lu Wangshu; she smiled back warmly, then motioned for Lu Ping’an to present the rest of the group.
Before their chat could progress further, the Heavenly Sword Sect detected Lu Miaoge’s Core Formation Qi, prompting a Nascent Soul Immortal to emerge and welcome her.
"Ah, it’s Miao Ge True Man—what a pleasure. Might I inquire about the reason for your trip to our Heavenly Sword Sect?"
The Nascent Soul Immortal, upon identifying Lu Miaoge, behaved with utmost politeness.
After all, Nascent Soul Immortals were treated as honored visitors no matter where they appeared, and the Heavenly Sword Sect extended due courtesy.
Given the ties to the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, the sect showed proper respect, ensuring no rudeness or intentional obstacles arose.
"I’ve come to your respected sect primarily to discuss the wedding of my son, Lu Ping’an."
Lu Miaoge, clad in a pristine white palace gown, expressed herself with poise.
"Wedding?"
Observing Lu Ping’an and Qin Yi, the Nascent Soul Immortal quickly pieced it together.
The Heavenly Sword Sect didn’t forbid its members from tying the knot or seeking Dao Companions.
That said, every sect imposed certain rules on such matters to avoid disciples casually wedding outsiders and abandoning the group.
"If the pair hold genuine feelings for each other and pursue aligned paths, sealing their bond is a fine endeavor—please enter, True Man."
Though true heirs like Qin Yi seldom wed beyond the sect.
The Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, boasting three Core Formations, plus Lu Changsheng’s role as Deputy City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, offered a link the Heavenly Sword Sect gladly accepted.
Furthermore, as he glanced at Lu Ping’an, he couldn’t easily gauge his cultivation, sparking his curiosity.
...
The union between Lu Ping’an and Qin Yi proceeded without a hitch.
This stemmed from their shared deep affection.
Lu Ping’an wasn’t just any obscure rogue cultivator; his lineage was well-established, and his talent stood out remarkably—meanwhile, Qin Yi wasn’t fixed as a sword Dao prodigy bound to stay unmarried outside.
"Flying Snow True Man, here are the betrothal presents from my family."
At that point, Lu Miaoge presented a gift box to Lan Ruoxue.
With her purpose being a formal marriage proposal, the Lu Family had of course assembled suitable betrothal gifts.
This gesture not only demonstrated the clan’s earnestness and the value placed on the match but also signified honor toward the bride’s family and the Heavenly Sword Sect!
"One Third Rank Top Level Talisman, six Third Rank Superior Grade Talismans, six Third Rank Middle Grade Talismans, and six Third Rank Lower Grade Talismans!"
Lan Ruoxue and the Heavenly Sword Sect Master stared in astonishment at the list of gifts.
Third Rank Middle and Lower Grade Talismans were standard fare for the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Yet Third Rank Superior Grade Talismans ranked as extremely rare and vital strategic assets!
When it came to Third Rank Top-Level Talismans, even the Heavenly Sword Sect possessed only a scant supply.
Thus, the lavish betrothal offerings from the Lu Family revealed their profound sincerity!
On top of that, this alliance would strengthen the Heavenly Sword Sect’s connection to Lu Changsheng, Jiang Country’s premier talisman expert.
Should Lu Changsheng keep producing Third Rank Top-Level Talismans and rise to Fourth Rank Talisman Master, he’d rank among the elite cultivators short of Nascent Soul!
"Your esteemed family surpasses all hopes!"
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master let out a soft laugh, adding, "With things as they are, let’s finalize this. Have Miao Ge True Man and Changsheng True Master selected a lucky date for the wedding?"
"On that front, my husband and I haven’t settled it yet. We intend to combine the wedding rite with Ping’an’s Core Formation ceremony."
Lu Miaoge replied smilingly, her steady and tranquil tone dropping a bombshell revelation.
"Core Formation ceremony!"
"The young one has truly advanced to Core Formation!"
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master and Lan Ruoxue both turned their gazes toward Lu Ping’an in the distance.
From his initial look, he’d wondered if Lu Ping’an had achieved Core Formation.
However, thanks to Lu Ping’an’s cultivation and magical power being masked by artifacts, there was no justification for deploying divine senses or spells to probe forcefully.
"Your son has reached Core Formation?"
Even though he’d guessed as much, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master felt a mild shock.
On his own, Lu Ping’an’s breakthrough to Core Formation seemed ordinary enough.
But viewed through the lens of the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, it struck as downright extraordinary, bucking all reason.
Ancestor Lu Changsheng, rising from rogue cultivator roots, had ascended to Nascent Soul Immortal in under a hundred years!
A decade on, Lu Miaoge, aided by Lu Changsheng, attained Core Formation.
At the same time, the Lu Family’s Lu Qingshan, who entered Yu Country’s Jinyang Sect, broke through to Core Formation and emerged as a prime Nascent Soul prospect there.
Now, another Lu Family figure had claimed Core Formation.
The development paths of these four—excluding Lu Changsheng—followed sensible trails that could be followed.
Still, within one bloodline, linked by spouses and kin, it all seemed...
In the annals of Jiang Country’s Cultivation Realm, no clan had expanded so rapidly in just over a century, yielding such a bounty of gifted descendants.
"Ping’an set out on a journey and chanced upon certain fortunes, allowing him to successfully advance to Core Formation."
