Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1927: 502: 50 Children Reach Foundation Establishment, Goddess Furnace! (part 3)

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh as he shook his head, convinced that his advanced lottery draw had been squandered.

Yet, upon careful reflection, he understood that the Goddess Furnace still offered some practical value.

For example, the Desire Law within the Goddess Furnace could assist in training his "Six Desires Heart Demon Technique".

Should that prove ineffective, he might position it inside his cave abode to serve as an incense burner, creating a more enchanting vibe during dual cultivation with his spouses...

Setting aside further worries, Lu Changsheng slipped the Goddess Furnace into his storage ring once more and resumed his travels.

...

One month afterward, Lu Changsheng made a discreet return to Bi Lake Mountain.

Thanks to his soul at the Nascent Soul level, he quickly spotted the Lu family alive with festive bustle, clearly readying themselves for a grand event.

There was no question—it must be for the wedding of his son, Lu Ping’an.

"Looks like I made it just in time."

Even though Lu Changsheng had stayed away, the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox had managed to fill in for him temporarily.

Still, this was his son's big day, after all. Whenever feasible, he intended to be there himself.

As he entered the Lu Family Mansion, Lu Miaoyun caught sight of him and hurried over with delight, exclaiming, "Husband!"

"Yun’er."

With a warm smile, Lu Changsheng moved closer and inquired about the remaining time before the ceremony.

"Two and a half months to go."

Lu Miaoyun responded without hesitation.

Earlier, Lu Changsheng had mentioned his trip to the Jin Kingdom, assuring a return within one year at most.

As a result, Lu Miaoge had scheduled the union with the Heavenly Sword Sect without excessive delays.

"How are the preparations coming along right now?"

Lu Changsheng gently grasped his wife's soft hand and took a seat next to her.

"All is set; plenty of guests have begun arriving..."

Lu Miaoyun shared the full rundown of the plans with Lu Changsheng.

"You've all toiled so much."

Lu Changsheng remarked with a grin, before probing into the recent developments across Jiang Country.

"The Xu Family has birthed a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Hearing how the Beast Taming Xu Family had unveiled a prominent Nascent Soul cultivator, Lu Changsheng merely lifted an eyebrow, showing no real shock.

He had once tasked Ling Zixiao with scouting details on the Beast Taming Xu Family, figuring that without the Qingyun Sect's interference, they would have nurtured a second Nascent Soul expert ages ago.

The emergence of this new Nascent Soul figure now simply served to bolster the clan, given the aging Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family's dwindling lifespan.

In truth, Lu Changsheng figured this cultivator had achieved the breakthrough far sooner, only revealing it at this moment.

"Xu Tiandu?"

That said, the name of this Xu Family True Man caught Lu Changsheng off guard just a bit.

Wasn't that the very individual Xu Ruyin had sworn vengeance against?

From what Xu Ruyin had shared, this man had advanced to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage at a young age, then ventured out for experiences and vanished without trace.

To think he resurfaced now as a Nascent Soul powerhouse.

"Tch, the Xu Family sure knows how to keep secrets."

Lu Changsheng gave a soft chuckle, fairly convinced that Xu Tiandu's Nascent Soul breakthrough had happened well in advance.

The Xu Family maintained connections beyond Jiang Country as well.

In their homeland, once a core member hit Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, they got dispatched elsewhere for further growth.

All the same, Lu Changsheng held little curiosity about it.

Times had shifted, after all.

The Beast Taming Xu Family no longer held much appeal for Lu Ancestor these days.

"Oh, darling, that Xuanmu Vine Fruit you sowed at the peak of Bi Yun Peak has ripened fully..."

Suddenly recalling something, Lu Miaoyun brought it up.

"It's ripened!"

A spark of joy lit up Lu Changsheng's face.

Lu Changsheng pinned great hopes on the Xuanmu Vine's produce.

After all, as Hong Lian described it, the Xuanmu Vine was a companion spiritual vine to the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine, sharing numerous key qualities.

Hence, he aimed to draw clues about the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine's own developments by observing the Xuanmu Vine.

Noticing the enigmatic look on his wife's face, Lu Changsheng arched a brow and queried with a grin, "Does that mean the ripened fruit turned out exceptionally unique?"

"You'll see for yourself soon enough, husband."

Lu Miaoyun teased lightly, holding back the revelation that the ripened fruit had morphed into the prized treasure he longed for—a gourd.

"Oh?"

A vague notion formed in Lu Changsheng's thoughts; he laughed softly, then summoned his wife Qu Zhenzhen, heading off with both women toward the summit of Bi Yun Peak.

Stepping into the underground palace, Lu Changsheng's eyes fell right away on a lush green gourd brimming with robust life force, etched with deep purple-black markings, resting atop the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine.

As a Third Rank Top Level Refiner, Lu Changsheng possessed keen insight, immediately sensing the gourd's remarkable nature.

Spotting how the Xuanmu Vine next to the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine on the Five Elements Soil had vanished, Lu Changsheng felt a surge of elation and turned to his wife, asking, "Zhenzhen, did this gourd form from the fruit of the Xuanmu Vine?"

Though Lu Changsheng had once dreamed of the Xuanmu Vine yielding a Fourth Rank or even Fifth Rank gourd for him.

But with the fruit's initial shape not resembling a gourd at all, Lu Changsheng hadn't dared expect too much.

To his astonishment, the Xuanmu Vine had indeed transformed into the gourd he anticipated.

"That's right, this gourd emerged from the Xuanmu Vine’s fruit..."

Qu Zhenzhen eagerly described the fruit's ripening process to Lu Changsheng without delay.
