Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1957: 511: Medicine Garden Secret Realm, Infant Transformation Elixir!

...

The secret realm suddenly appeared, with divine light shooting straight into the heavens, drawing countless cultivators who rushed over to check it out.

Yet, the massive Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale curled up right next to the secret realm, its Demon King presence immense like a bottomless abyss turned jail, scaring off every cultivator and demon beast from getting close.

In the meantime, Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian hauled a quasi-fourth rank Whale King toward the Great Dream Immortal City, attracting loads of surprised and wondering looks from fellow cultivators on the road.

"What in the world is happening!"

"That's the City Lord and the City Lord's Wife!"

"Is the City Lord going into the Great Dream Marsh to take down a Demon King?"

"Does that towering divine light way inside the Great Dream Marsh connect to the City Lord somehow?"

Every cultivator who spotted Lu Changsheng pulling along the quasi-fourth rank Whale King displayed looks of deep respect, their thoughts buzzing with all sorts of guesses.

Once back in the Great Dream Immortal City, Lu Changsheng activated the city's third rank taboo formation to pin the Whale King under the ground for keeping, before stepping into the City Lord Mansion to talk about the secret realm with Ling Zixiao.

"So the secret realm has shown up?"

Ling Zixiao had noticed the divine light blasting upward from deep within the Great Dream Marsh, which hinted at some lucky finds popping up, and he'd already dispatched folks to scout it, though nothing had come back yet.

Hearing this, he quickly put plans into action.

Not long afterward, word flew around the Great Dream Immortal City that the City Lord and his wife had ventured far into the Great Dream Marsh to chase a Demon King, which triggered the secret realm's lucky chance to burst open, stirring up massive excitement.

Even with this info making it clear the secret realm tied to the City Lord Mansion, the cultivation world always had its share of bold risk-takers.

A bunch of cultivators dashed straight into the heart of the Great Dream Marsh, itching to glimpse the secret realm's setup and maybe snag some lucky treasures for themselves.

"Father, I got wind of a lucky secret realm popping up deep in the Great Dream Marsh—what's the deal there?"

Lu Wangshu caught the buzz about the secret realm and got hooked right away, so she hurried to the City Lord Mansion to ask Lu Changsheng about it.

"The secret realm's barriers haven't faded yet, so I'm not sure on the details. If you're keen, head over and check it out yourself soon."

Lu Changsheng, picking up on what his daughter wanted, grinned and replied.

From what Hong Lian said, just early Core Formation cultivators could slip inside the secret realm without messing up its balance.

Should it turn out the secret realm held steady and wouldn't crumble, of course the family kids would get sent to poke around inside.

"Alright."

Lu Wangshu felt pumped about diving into a secret realm like that, and next she asked about the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.

She was in the know that her father hadn't plunged deep into the Great Dream Marsh for demon hunting, but to aid the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale in facing its tribulation.

"Of course it's succeeded. You'll catch sight of it before long."

Lu Changsheng explained that the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale now stood watch over the secret realm and hadn't come back.

After that, he passed a gourd full of Flood Dragon vital blood to Lu Wangshu, telling her to carry it over to Dragon Fish Island.

He headed to the rear hall next to deal with carving up the fourth rank Flood Dragon King's corpse.

Even if the Flood Dragon King's main body went to the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

Still, the Flood Dragon brimmed with top-notch treasures; stuff such as dragon claws, dragon tendons, dragon scales, and bones all counted as prime fourth-tier stuff, so they had to be processed right, not just tossed to the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to squander.

Right then, Lu Changsheng sensed a rush of clean mana pouring into his Qi Ocean Core.

"Has Ping’an advanced?"

With his son Lu Quanzhen hitting Core Formation Second Layer, plus his son Lu Qingshan and daughter Nangong Yaoyao both advancing one after another.

So in that instant, linking it to the mana flow, Lu Changsheng naturally figured it was his son Lu Ping’an, who trained back at home.

But drawing from past times, he realized the mana didn't quite match, not like jumping from Core Formation First Layer to the second.

He gave a light mental nudge.

[Name: Lu Ping’an]

[Lifespan: 103/607]

[Talent: Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, Undying Golden Body (Upper Class Spirit Body)]

[Cultivation Level: Core Formation First Layer]

[Talent: Body Refining Compatibility (112%)]

"Not Ping’an then?"

Lu Changsheng creased his forehead a bit and checked on his son Lu Quanzhen.

[Name: Lu Quanzhen]

[Lifespan: 100/346]

[Talent: Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, Kunpeng Demon Body (Upper Class Spirit Body)]

[Cultivation Level: Core Formation Third Layer]

[Talent: Combat Law Compatibility (83%)]

"Quanzhen's already reached Core Formation Third Layer?"

Lu Changsheng recalled how his son Lu Quanzhen had climbed from Core Formation First Layer to the second four years back.

Though he skipped time on divine abilities and magic items now, focusing purely on cultivation, this pace still felt pretty quick.

After all, Lu Quanzhen's spiritual root sat at just fourth grade.

"Looks like Quanzhen stumbled on some solid lucky breaks."

Beyond standard training, pulling off such a swift advance clearly meant great chances and top-shelf spirit herbs or earth treasures.

On top of that, his son's lifespan stayed untouched, leaving Lu Changsheng totally at ease.

Plus, he'd handed Lu Quanzhen a quasi-fourth rank Substitute Talisman earlier.

Safely put, unless he ran into a Nascent Soul cultivator or elite Core Formation powerhouse, he could always slip away.

...

Kunpeng Nest.

A spirit pond steamed with misty glows and rich scents all around.

Lu Quanzhen sat legs crossed in the middle, Kunpeng illusions swirling about him, as he kept absorbing the shiny fluid, his whole form shining bright, getting fed constant vitality, like he was remaking himself.

After what felt like ages, his frame popped and cracked loudly, sloughing off worn skin, tainted blood, and bits of bone with explosive power, akin to a serpent molting or a cicada breaking free, pushing to quasi-third rank.

When Lu Quanzhen's eyes snapped open, they gleamed like endless voids that pulled at the soul, though they quickly settled into peace and plainness as he turned to Wugu Old Demon and Shi Hai True Monarch nearby, bowing with joined hands.

"Many thanks to you two seniors."

"Heh, since we pulled you inside, the perks are bound to come your way."

Wugu Old Demon had a skinny build and sharp cheekbones, wearing a grin that rang false.

"Tsk, you've got real grit, mastering a fierce body refining art without a fuss."

Unlike the chilly Wugu Old Demon, Shi Hai True Monarch next to him brought a warm spring vibe, making Lu Quanzhen feel at ease around him.

He went on: "Come on, clock's ticking. If you aid me in grabbing the main prize, that [Infant Transformation Elixir] is all yours. Sure, you're a Demonic Sect heir, but snagging an Infant Transformation Elixir ain't easy."

With those words, a porcelain vial popped into Shi Hai True Monarch's hand.

Though Lu Quanzhen figured they wouldn't play nice and would probably off him after securing the big gain to tie up loose ends, the sight of that vial in Shi Hai True Monarch's grip still made his pulse race.

The Infant Transformation Elixir let Core Formation experts shatter their cores without a hitch to form a Nascent Soul, stepping up to Nascent Soul True Lord!

Across Jiang Country and even the Starry Sky Sea in recent years, he'd never caught tales of any Infant Transformation Elixir turning up anywhere.

Who'd have thought Shi Hai True Monarch carried one!

"Thank you, senior!"

Despite holding zero real hope, Lu Quanzhen still acted thrilled and eager.

Wugu Old Demon nearby eyed the whole thing, then flicked a look at the vial in Shi Hai True Monarch's grasp, just letting out a cold snort without a word.
