Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1932: 504: Lu Ping’an’s Wedding, Upgrading Bi Lake Mountain! (part 2)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Yet, after crossing the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, ties with other clans started to fade away or break completely.
"Greetings, True Master Feixue."
As the wedding procession made its way back, Lu Changsheng along with Lu Miaoge stepped forward to welcome and host the visitors, offering cupped-fist salutes to Lan Ruoxue aboard the flying vessel.
"True Master Changsheng, True Master Miaoge."
Lan Ruoxue gave a light nod, feeling a positive vibe toward Lu Miaoge while showing clear detachment from Lu Changsheng.
There wasn't any special cause for it.
Just as a woman in the cultivation path, she found it hard to respect types like Lu Changsheng, who got too caught up in feelings and indulgence.
Once they escorted Lan Ruoxue to the central hall, everyone awaited the perfect timing.
"From Great Dream Immortal City, True Master Luo arrives bearing a gift of congratulations..."
"From Qingyun Sect, Master Xiyue comes to join the festivities..."
At that point, a growing number of powerful groups began showing up one after another.
Not every Nascent Soul powerhouse sends a Nascent Soul cultivator in person to deliver presents.
Usually, they send someone at the False Core stage to handle the offering.
For example, Great Dream Immortal City had Hong Lian send over a False Core cultivator to extend the well-wishes.
"From Heavenly Sword Sect, True Master Zhao arrives with a congratulatory gift..."
Soon enough, yet another Nascent Soul expert from Heavenly Sword Sect appeared on the scene.
He had journeyed with Lan Ruoxue, but the procession's leisurely pace kept them from traveling side by side.
"Zhao Mingchou?"
Lu Changsheng headed out to receive him, spotting the True Master Zhao from Heavenly Sword Sect who was there to offer the gift.
Back in the day, while going by the alias of Yangming True Master, he had dealt with Heavenly Sword Sect in a trade.
This fellow was traveling alongside the Heavenly Sword Sect Master, which stood out as odd.
With his own strength now boosted and having stepped into the Way of Divination, Lu Changsheng could pick up on certain clues; this man was probably a Diviner!
"Why dispatch a Diviner from Heavenly Sword Sect instead of just Lan Ruoxue, who serves as little Qin's master?"
Lu Changsheng pondered inwardly, advancing with a friendly smile to welcome him.
Noticing Zhao Mingchou scanning Bi Lake Mountain like he was taking in the views, Lu Changsheng figured out the reason for his visit.
Qi Observation!
Rising to such heights in merely a century, boasting four Core Formation experts, folks often called them blessed by the heavens, dripping with luck.
Heavenly Sword Sect likely shared that view, so they dispatched Zhao Mingchou to check out the fortune and aura surrounding Bi Lake Mountain.
"This check could confirm that the Lu Family truly enjoys heaven's favor."
After grasping Second Rank Divination, Lu Changsheng had applied the Qi Observation Technique to assess his clan's destiny.
Maybe thanks to the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine's effect, the fortune at Bi Lake Mountain outshone that of other clans by a wide margin.
It sprawled vast and thriving, with zero hints of fading away.
Lu Changsheng had no clue about Zhao Mingchou's prowess in divination or his skill with the Qi Observation technique.
But short of being a Fourth Rank Divination Grandmaster, he'd struggle to uncover fine details, likely just catching that Bi Lake Mountain's fortune was booming strong.
"This Bi Lake Mountain, obviously only a Second Rank Spirit Land, boasts such incredible fortune!"
Right then, as Zhao Mingchou bantered and laughed with Lu Changsheng, a wave of shock and marvel washed over his mind.
Fortune remains a slippery thing to grasp, and even a Diviner using the Qi Observation technique catches only a fuzzy glimpse.
Even so, that fuzzy glimpse hit him with the sense that something was off about Bi Lake Mountain's fortune.
It was overwhelmingly immense!
While fortune isn't set in stone, shaped by fengshui, individuals, items, and more besides.
Still, Bi Lake Mountain's fengshui was pretty average, nothing standout.
Even counting Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, and Lu Ping’an as three Nascent Soul Immortals, the fortune shouldn't climb anywhere near this height!
On top of that, amid the steady flow of Bi Lake Mountain's fortune, it even hinted at a gentle climb upward!
This defies all reason!
Bi Lake Mountain's fortune didn't match what a Second Rank Spirit Land ought to have, and it kept steadily growing, throwing all common sense out the window.
"Is it possible that Lu Ping’an’s recent breakthrough to Core Formation pushed Bi Lake Mountain's fortune even further?"
"But his Core Formation breakthrough was just recent, and he hasn't settled in long—how could the fortune surge this fast!"
Zhao Mingchou felt baffled, steering clear of imagining some Treasure of Fortune at play.
After all, items capable of swaying heavenly fortune were rare gems, even for Heavenly Sword Sect.
How could the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family hold onto something like that?
So, after pondering deeply, he settled on a single answer: The Heavenly Talisman Lu Family—or more precisely, Lu Changsheng himself—was a child of immense fortune, cherished by fate!
In that instant, he itched to apply the Qi Observation Technique directly on Lu Changsheng to glimpse his personal fortune.
But whether he'd even succeed was doubtful, and anyway, such snooping counted as rude and forbidden in the Cultivation World.
He tamped down his urge to probe, intending to watch more closely afterward for any overlooked details.
...
By the time the lucky hour neared, envoys from nearly every faction had shown up.
As for those who skipped it, Lu Changsheng paid them no mind, simply declaring the wedding underway.
With those words spoken, blue waves roared to life, and Bi Lake Mountain glowed in a burst of five-colored lights, as hordes of spirit birds soared and swirled, filling the air with enchanting tunes.
Though it didn't match the splendor of the Dao Companion rite that Qingyun Sect arranged for Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue, the display fell short by only a hair.
Beneath everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Ping’an and Qin Yi stepped into Biyun Grand Hall to carry out the marriage rites.
The first bow honored the Great Dao for its blessings, granting them Spiritual Root and the chance at immortality!
The second bow expressed gratitude to parents and sect for guiding them onto the path of cultivation!
Thus, Lu Ping’an and Qin Yi, having paid respects to Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, Lan Ruoxue, and the rest, also directed a bow toward the Heavenly Sword Sect's direction.
The third bow marked the pair's bow to each other!
Signifying that starting today, they would tread the Great Dao as one, standing by each other in joy and hardship!
"On this blessed day, as the heavens rejoice, Lu Ping’an and Qin Yi's hearts unite with the Dao today, bound in marriage at Bi Lake Mountain under the Great Dao's witness. May your paths to immortality stretch endlessly, your bond endure forever, weather countless trials in cultivation, achieve timeless life, light up the Immortal Sects, and shower fortune on your lineage for ages!"
