Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1956: 511: Medicine Garden Secret Realm, Infant Transformation Elixir!

"Three months."

Lu Changsheng's gaze sharpened just a bit.

The discovery of this hidden realm would surely swiftly alert the Four Great Immortal Sects across Jiang Country, making it tough to claim it all for themselves.

Right then, Hong Lian sent a fiery bird soaring at the cliff in front.

The cliff then burst forth with a profound azure glow, creating an unseen barrier that snuffed out the firebird, its strength roughly matching the Early Core Formation phase.

"This secret realm appears badly wrecked, with its barrier strength now merely at Core Formation. Only those in the Early Core Formation stage can get inside at best; pushing harder might cause the whole place to crumble."

Back in her prior existence, Hong Lian had reigned as a Nascent Soul True Lord over a grand palace and faced countless secret realm remnants, so she knew well how to judge their state.

"Just Early Core Formation cultivators can go in?"

Lu Changsheng's brow creased; that would bar him from entering too.

Yet after years of cultivation, he knew full well that not every secret realm held any real fortune.

Plenty of them turned desolate with age and teetered on the edge of total ruin.

At times, stepping foot inside could trigger a spatial breakdown, scattering it into chaotic void shards lost in the vast emptiness.

Just a handful stayed solid enough to offer chances or legacies.

Being able to host Core Formation experts was already a solid win.

Take the Purple Shadow Secret Realm from way back—it only allowed Energy Refining folks.

"Hong Lian, any idea what sort of secret realm this might be?"

Lu Changsheng asked her directly.

If it turned out to be some empty waste on the verge of falling apart, it'd be worth next to nothing.

"Husband, hold on a second while I check it out."

Hong Lian shaped a hand seal, her eyes shimmering with red mist as she chanted spells toward the cliff's crystal surface.

Under the spell's effect, the crystal turned foggy and rippled like liquid streams.

Soon after, she thought it over and explained, "It resembles a Medicine Garden secret realm a fair bit, though I can't pin down the details yet. We'll need the barrier to fade away fully before I can probe deeper."

"Still, that front cliff feels shaky. Breaking the barrier by force might wreck the secret realm's balance, which would backfire badly."

Dressed in her lavish, flowing gown, Hong Lian stood with unmatched elegance and poise, scrutinizing the cliff further as she voiced her thoughts.

"A Medicine Garden secret realm!?"

Joy lit up Lu Changsheng's face.

From what he'd learned through the years, the Four Great Immortal Sects held their ground and steadily raised Foundation Establishment and Core Formation talents thanks to their grip on various standalone secret realms.

Key among those were the trial secret realms and Medicine Garden secret realms!

Trial ones served for testing and picking disciples, such as the Purple Shadow Secret Realm or the Qingming Secret Realm in that vein.

Medicine Garden secret realms, meanwhile, provided ideal spots for growing spirit herbs and elixirs, cutting down their ripening periods or fostering rare variants and special seeds.

Thus, a reliable Medicine Garden secret realm marked the foundation for a sect's thousand-year dynasty!

Though the Lu Family possessed a Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven for spirit medicine growth, its results fell short, leaving them mostly dependent on the Myriad Spirits Bottle.

But that bottle yielded just a single drop of Myriad Spirits Heaven Dew annually, far too little to meet their needs.

Should they secure a Medicine Garden secret realm, all the lottery prizes Lu Changsheng had claimed—like the Golden Armor Bean Mother, Nurturing Spirit Lotus, Heavenly Origin Precious Lotus, Coiled Dragon Blood Tooth Rice, Divine Power Fruit Tree, and Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree—plus any spirit plants gathered from beyond, could thrive within.

"It only seems a bit alike; it might actually be a ruins secret realm."

Hong Lian pointed out.

Ruins secret realms ranked as the most ordinary type, with places like the Tianyuan Secret Realm or Vast Sand Illusion Realm fitting there.

Even the Purple Shadow Secret Realm could count as one, in a way.

It had simply been stripped bare and tamed long ago by the Four Great Immortal Sects, repurposed now for trials and as a Medicine Garden secret realm to hone their followers.

"Heh, either way, so long as it's not some collapsing barren waste, that'll do."

Lu Changsheng had already mentally claimed the secret realm before them as his own.

His bar wasn't set too high—just something workable would suffice.

"Now that this secret realm has shown up, its sky-piercing divine light won't slip past the Four Great Immortal Sects' eyes."

Hong Lian went on, sharing with Lu Changsheng to gauge his view.

"Since it surfaced in the Great Dream Marsh, by rights, it falls under our Great Dream Immortal City's domain."

Lu Changsheng let out a light laugh, his steady, unyielding tone carrying an air of bold command and assurance.

Back when Qingyun Sect and Luoxia Sect uncovered the Tianyuan Secret Realm, they'd been forced to split it evenly with the Four Great Immortal Sects, but his Great Dream Immortal City stood apart from that.

That said, he still favored approaches of shared gains and true partnerships.

If the Four Great Immortal Sects brought worthwhile offers, letting them have a slice of the secret realm posed no problem.

"Spiritual Whale, stick around here and keep watch over the secret realm—don't mess with it. If folks show up, shoo them off."

Lu Changsheng turned to the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, assigning it guard duty.

"Understood, Master."

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale agreed without fuss and settled in for a nap right there.

It had reached fourth rank yet hadn't wrapped up its full shift.

Next, Lu Changsheng lifted his hand casually, and the Demon Binding Lock holding the Quasi-Fourth Rank Whale King slipped from the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's tail into his grasp, hauling the massive Whale King back toward Great Dream Immortal City.

"Once I've got a free moment, I ought to craft some fourth-rank Spirit Beast Bags or Spirit Beast Rings."

While Lu Changsheng could rely on mighty spells to seize and store a Demon King, in everyday scenarios, he could manage only one at a time, and it would steadily drain his spiritual energy.

The Spiritual Pet Bag, Qiankun Restraints, Formless Treasure Wheel, and Heavenly Origin Treasure Lotus in his possession could hold plenty, even demon beast remains.

But for colossal demon kings like whale sharks, fitting them in proved tricky and placed a heavy strain.
