Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1993: 523:

This serves as a form of recompense from the City Lord Mansion to the cultivators inside the secret realm, presenting a chance to confront the Third Rank Demon King head-on, followed by dividing its flesh and materials among the participants.

"Ready to accompany the Young City Lord in slaying this Demon King!"

The cultivators present appeared contemplative, yet the family powers governed by the Great Dream Marsh quickly voiced their agreement.

"Sister Wangshu."

Noting the affirmations from numerous cultivators, Lu Lingxiao turned to Lu Wangshu, seeking her support.

Ultimately, regardless of the circumstances, he stood no chance against a Third Rank Demon King alone.

"Let’s go."

Lu Wangshu lightly curved her crimson lips and remarked offhandedly.

After all, the talismans used during this expedition would be covered by reimbursement.

Shortly thereafter, inside the secret realm, Lu Lingxiao and Lu Wangshu led the charge, battling the Third Rank Demon King alongside various cultivators from the realm.

"Six Yang Burning Sky!"

"Talisman Formation, Nine-Nine Wind and Thunder Formation!"

"Heavenly Thunder Saber Technique!"

"Pan Wheel Technique!"

"....."

Earlier, Lu Lingxiao, Lu Wangshu, and their companions had struggled immensely against the Third Rank Bear King.

Yet at present, not only was Lu Lingxiao’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit in peak condition, but his progress had also surpassed his level upon entering the secret realm.

In particular, following Nirvana, the traits of his [All Techniques are Perpetual Bone] merged into his physique, filling him with boundless vigor.

And right now, Lu Wangshu ceased restraining herself, promptly deploying a talisman formation via a Third Rank Talisman.

With several False Core Immortals participating in the clash, the Third Rank Demon King was soon reduced to desperate howls within under an hour.

"Grateful to all Daoists for your assistance today! Should you desire, feel free to stay and witness the insights into the Dao of Core Formation!"

Observing the scene before him, Lu Lingxiao stopped holding back his surging Essence, Qi, and Spirit, unleashing the suppression, allowing his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to surge skyward, then ascending gradually toward the secret realm’s central peak.

Core Formation!

He intended to pursue Core Formation right here!

Though the setting in Great Dream Immortal City offered superior conditions.

And Bi Lake Mountain featured the Mount Sumeru Tree King for mental purification.

However, his current state felt exceptionally optimal.

His thoughts were calm, his cultivation method flowed naturally, propelling an advance toward the Core Formation Stage.

Truly... Heavenly Dao Core Formation!

Even Lu Lingxiao felt a touch of astonishment himself, unprepared for a Heavenly Dao Core Formation, a breakthrough opportunity arising spontaneously!

"Core Formation!? Starting Core Formation!"

"The Young City Lord is undertaking Core Formation in this place!"

"Right after such an intense fight, shouldn’t he take time to recover and ready himself?"

The onlookers expressed shock and wonder, deeming the timing overly abrupt.

After all, Core Formation was no trivial matter.

Who wouldn’t meticulously ready themselves, nurturing a prime state of Essence, Qi, and Spirit?

Nevertheless, beneath the intent stares of the assembled cultivators, Lu Lingxiao settled into a cross-legged position over the Third Rank Spirit Vein, promptly consuming the Coagulation Crystal Elixir from his Storage Ring.

"Hoo hoo hoo——"

In the secret realm, vast quantities of natural spiritual energy howled forth, converging upon Lu Lingxiao’s location.

Typically, pursuing Core Formation demands cultivation over ten days, half a month, or even months, before tackling the Three Gates of Core Formation.

But with Lu Lingxiao’s already solid foundation, harboring potential for the Immortal Golden Core.

Now in the secret realm, he had not only shattered and rebuilt himself, elevating his foundation further, but also built his momentum to its zenith, triggering Heavenly Dao Core Formation, manifesting a Nascent Soul Celestial Phenomenon, and directly challenging the Three Gates of Core Formation!

At that instant, none of the cultivators departed the secret realm.

All observed the celestial phenomenon from afar, eager to study the Young City Lord’s Core Formation process.

Since most remained at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Gleaning even a sliver of insight could immensely aid their own eventual Core Formation.

Concurrently, Ling Zixiao, who had monitored the secret realm’s events alongside Hong Lian via the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, stepped into the realm, array plate at the ready, igniting the previously set great formation to safeguard his son against mishaps.

...

Meanwhile, in the Starry Sky Sea’s Penglai Immortal City.

Lu Changsheng had been in Penglai Immortal City for over half a month.

Unlike the modest market of Feiyan Archipelago, Penglai Immortal City brimmed with far greater prosperity.

Through days of probing, Lu Changsheng obtained a clearer grasp of the Starry Sky Sea and the Kunpeng Nest Secret Realm.

Yet no matter the depth of such reports, they paled in precision compared to insights from Core Formation Stage cultivators venturing into the secret realm.

Thus, resolving his son Lu Quanzhen’s issues required seeking aid from influential factions through various means.

In the interim, Lu Changsheng noted that prices for First Grade and Second Rank resources here were considerably cheaper than in Jiang Country when acquiring supplies.

Should he choose, he could stockpile resources locally, capitalize on price differences, and reap substantial gains.

Nevertheless, for a "Nascent Soul level cultivator" to devote time to trading for mere Spirit Stones, it proved utterly unprofitable.

Given his primary aim in reaching Penglai Immortal City was to connect with the Goddess Palace, Lu Changsheng opted to offer talismans in exchange when buying materials.

He even visited the Penglai Chamber of Commerce to offload some Third Rank Talismans.

Consequently, in merely half a month, "Xuanmu Taoist" garnered recognition in Penglai Immortal City, with several powers attempting to approach and enlist him.

This outcome was expected.

Across any domain, Third Rank Talisman Masters rank as rare experts, enjoying esteemed positions, and drawing recruitment from myriad sects.

Furthermore, Lu Changsheng portrayed himself as a Third Rank Superior Grade Talisman Master.

On this particular day, another Core Formation cultivator arrived to inquire whether Lu Changsheng might accept a role as guest elder for their organization.

"Does your honored chamber possess leasing rights to a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein?"

As the mana spiritual pressure of a Core Formation Late Stage emanated from Lu Changsheng, he inquired with a smile.

The guest, upon detecting Lu Changsheng’s magical presence, offered a wry smile and replied: "I overstepped, kindly pardon me, Daoist."

With those words, he presented a gift box and departed.

Leasing rights for a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein remained exclusive to the Nascent Soul-level powers in the Starry Sky Sea, with few exceptions.

And for those seeking Penglai Immortal City, their intent was plainly to align with Penglai Island, biding time for optimal alliances.

In a flash, another half month elapsed.

"When might the Goddess Palace arrive to settle the debt?"

The allure of a Superior Grade Talisman Master proved strong, prompting even a Nascent Soul-level power to reach out to Lu Changsheng during that time.

A century of service could secure him leasing rights to a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, plus access to exchange Nascent Soul spiritual items.

Yet Lu Changsheng showed no inclination.

For he held no true desire to lease a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein in the first place.

Rather, he wielded this pretext to await the Goddess Palace’s approach.

Diligence bears fruit; thus, two days later, Lu Changsheng at last received a delegation from the Goddess Palace.
