Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1934: 504: Lu Ping’an’s Wedding, Bi Lake Mountain Upgrades!

Particularly the Old Ancestor, Lu Changsheng!
The Lu Family on Bi Lake Mountain owes its present standing entirely to this Old Ancestor!
"Hmm, the inheritance of cultivation techniques in the Lu Family is truly remarkable..."
Lan Ruoxue gave a slight nod.
Being a Nascent Soul Cultivator herself, she noticed various signs that set the Lu Family far apart from a typical family just a hundred years old.
Even clans with legacies spanning a thousand years might fail to match the splendor found at Bi Lake Mountain.
"A tiny pond can't raise a Flood Dragon, but this individual turned into one right there in the limited space of the Qingyun Domain; that's far from ordinary!"
"From snake to dragon, amid the play of wood and geese, this man reached Core Formation while staying concealed, scheming for something massive; he might aim to rise straight to the skies and evolve from Flood Dragon into a real dragon!"
A enigmatic Qi flow stirred in Zhao Mingchou's gaze as he whispered to himself, finding the idea increasingly astonishing the deeper he delved.
Yet with Lu Changsheng now wed to Master Xiyue from the Qingyun Sect and supported by Great Dream Immortal City in his role as Deputy City Lord, he had risen to a powerful position.
Without that, considering the Lu Family's circumstances, he would certainly desire to probe further!
"We ought to inform the Sect Master about this for his judgment."
Lan Ruoxue cast a profound glance at Zhao Mingchou, cautioning him against hasty moves.
After all, as an external diviner, if he divined some vast fortune in the Lu Family and let greed take hold, it could disrupt the broader schemes of the entire Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Don't worry, True Man Feixue."
Zhao Mingchou, his face ashen and topped with a silk hat, looked every bit the delicate scholar.
Though diviners like them yearned to ascend via immense fortunes, they valued their own lives above all.
In recent days, for instance, he had toyed with the notion of channeling a secret art through the Lu Family disciples to divine more about Lu Changsheng's state.
Ultimately, though, a sense of looming peril made him drop the plan.
...
With Lu Ping’an’s wedding festivities wrapping up, the Lu Family disciples started heading out one by one.
Many had journeyed back from distant places, after all, and couldn't linger at home indefinitely.
As tranquility slowly settled over Bi Lake Mountain once more, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion. After quality time with his wives and kids, he shifted focus to his personal affairs.
He readied himself for secluded cultivation to solidify the Brahman Demon True Body, that ultimate divine power, anew.
Yet upon seeing Ying’er, confined by the Mount Sumeru seal, a sudden idea hit him regarding the Soul-calling Beast and the Goddess Furnace he'd acquired by luck.
"The Goddess Furnace influences emotions, thoughts, and desires in others; might it serve to tame this woman?"
Though Lu Changsheng held little regard for such unorthodox spiritual treasures, he felt no sympathy toward demonic cultivators like Ying’er.
This woman had harmed the Nine Netherhound, no less, and carried a bitter grudge against Beast God Mountain!
He had previously mulled over employing her as bait to draw out the Nether Moon Saintess, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, and even Nine Spirits True Monarch from Beast God Mountain for vengeance.
Still, her soul proved tough, shackled by restrictions, so turning her without sly methods like the Lockheart Gu was no easy task.
That said, Lu Ancestor had a tender heart at his core.
Should he deploy the Lockheart Gu, she would turn into a devotee utterly smitten with him, and Lu Changsheng worried he might waver in resolve.
The Goddess Furnace, however, stood apart.
Besides, should the Goddess Furnace fall short, he could always deploy the Soul-calling Beast, shifted into its Punishment Beast form, for interrogation and pry out any hidden knowledge on Beast God Mountain!
"She's been under my control for quite a while without word back; Beast God Mountain and her mentor, the Nether Moon Saintess, could start suspecting soon, so I must settle this swiftly."
"If taming her works, she might even serve as a spy within!"
Lu Changsheng pondered briefly before stepping into Changsheng Hall, where he claimed the spiritual treasure [Goddess Furnace] to start the refining process.
While such a treasure could be driven by force sans refining, to unleash its full might and impact, refinement remained essential.
