Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2179: 587: (part 4)

Moreover, Meng Xiaochan's cultivation focuses on poison techniques, making her unsuitable for direct confrontation.

Secondly, Lu Ping'an currently represents the Lu Family's most formidable power. Apart from guarding Bi Lake Mountain, he must also maintain vigilance over areas like White Tiger Mountain and Flower Fruit Mountain, lest any unforeseen circumstances arise.

This is especially crucial at this juncture, with the war on the front lines locked in a stalemate; demonic path cultivators could infiltrate the rear at any moment to launch attacks.

It echoes the past when the Jiang Country was engaged in pioneer warfare, and demon cultivators infiltrated the rear, causing chaos among the populace.

Furthermore, as the Qingyun Sect alluded, while such endeavors carry risks, they also present significant opportunities.

The disciples of the Lu Family will eventually need to venture out for training and experience.

Even with the countless heavenly and earthly treasures and rare resources Lu Changsheng has amassed for the family, it's impossible to cultivate everyone to the Core Formation stage.

Attaining Core Formation must ultimately depend on one's own efforts!

The family can only offer support and provide the impetus for their advancement.

Besides, the Lu Family is not like other minor clans that are simply conscripted.

With their connections, including Bi Lake Mountain, Great Dream Immortal City, Xiao Xiyue, and Qin Yi, and with Lu Miaoge and Lu Qingshan currently managing the front lines, they certainly won't be sent as expendable cannon fodder.

As long as their performance on the front lines proves beneficial, each of them will have the opportunity to return home in the future and strive for Core Formation!

Confronted with this reality, Lu Ping’an, though he wished to voice further concerns, understood the underlying truth. He ultimately dispatched messages to the Lu Family disciples who were stationed elsewhere.

Upon receiving the correspondence, individuals like Lu Qingxuan, who had been away with the family forces for an extended period, returned to the clan’s domain at the earliest possible moment.

Even those such as Lu Ruyi set aside their personal affairs, making plans to head to the frontline battlefield in pursuit of an opportunity to achieve Core Formation!

Lu Ping’an gazed at the countenance of the younger kin before him, his hands tightly balled into fists, and then spoke in a deep, resonant voice, "Our Lu Family has never concerned itself with such hollow accolades. My sole hope is that all of you return together."

"Remember this: our Lu Family does not instigate conflict, but we certainly do not cower from it. Should any trouble befall you during your journey, send word to me immediately."

"As for the elixirs, talismans, and puppets you are being provided, do not be overly sparing; your survival is paramount!"

With a heavy heart, Lu Ping’an imparted these instructions, yearning to accompany them himself, to achieve abundant military exploits, and to shield them from any tempests.

However, with their father currently away on an extensive journey, it fell upon him to maintain the household diligently, await their father’s return, and absolutely refrain from any reckless actions that could jeopardize the family’s safety.

"Elder brother, rest assured; we have heard your words!"

"Indeed, elder brother. Perhaps by the time we return, our family will boast a few more Nascent Soul Immortals."

"Elder brother, now that sister-in-law has successfully achieved Core Formation, following our family's tradition, you cannot afford to delay any further."

"Wangshu, you must not lag behind either."

Lu Qingxuan and the others addressed the tall and imposing figure of Lu Ping’an before them with apparent ease.

Although Lu Ping’an had spent many years training in the outside world, leading to a degree of estrangement from many of the family disciples,

his unwavering dedication and profound sense of responsibility towards the family over the past two decades were undeniable.

Consider the time Lu Changsheng entrusted him with the Cave Mystique Treasure Mirror, assigning him the duty of imparting techniques; he meticulously oversaw the progress of every single Lu Family disciple.

Unlike Lu Changsheng, who only occasionally remembered to summon the Lu Family disciples for cultivation assessments,

Lu Ping’an would frequently undertake journeys to various spiritual territories to survey the conditions and offer assistance in resolving any emergent issues.

It can be fairly stated that Lu Ping’an’s comparatively slower progress in his own cultivation journey throughout these years is also intrinsically linked to his extensive family obligations.

While the Core Formation ancestors of other clans dedicated their sole focus to their cultivation practices, he, much like his father Lu Changsheng, allocated a significant portion of his time and energy to the well-being of the family.

"Then I shall certainly endeavor to be swifter. In a few years, once I attain Core Formation, I will keep watch over all of you."

Lu Wangshu, clad in a delicate pink dress, playfully bantered with Lu Qingxuan. Her normally radiant and charming features masked a subtle hint of seriousness as she forced a smile while speaking.

Despite the inherent dangers of the frontline war, she harbored confidence in her own capabilities to ensure her survival.

However, both Lu Miaoyun and her mother, Xiao Xiyue, had expressly forbidden her from participating unless she successfully reached the Core Formation stage.

After all these years, she was already at a stage where attempting Core Formation was feasible.

Yet, heeding her father’s earlier counsel and after witnessing her younger brother Lu Lingxiao’s attainment of the Immortal Golden Core, she had made the deliberate choice to continuously solidify her foundation.

This current visit back to Bi Lake Mountain was intended to focus entirely on accumulating a robust foundation, after which she would strive to achieve Core Formation within the family’s safe confines.

"Sister Wangshu, please prepare an ample supply of Third Rank Talismans when the time comes."

Lu Ziyun spoke with a hint of playful amusement in her voice.

Amidst the cheerful goodbyes exchanged among the siblings, Lu Ping’an saw them off as they departed for the Qingyun Sect to board the frontline warship.

Observing the somber faces of numerous family forces as they arrived at the Qingyun Sect’s mountain gate and boarded the spiritual vessel, Lu Qingxuan was reminded of forty years prior. It was then that the Four Great Immortal Sects had issued the Pioneer Order, and their father, Lu Changsheng, had dispatched them to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range for pioneering expeditions.

Now, after four decades had passed, he found himself once again boarding the Qingyun Battleship, this time bound for the even more perilous frontline war.

In truth, his cultivation had reached the apex of Foundation Establishment quite some time ago, and the family had already prepared a Coagulation Crystal Elixir for him.

However, he felt he was not yet adequately prepared to attempt the breakthrough to Core Formation.

He desired to fully internalize the lessons of the [Urgent Thunder Qilin Diagram] and master the "Yuan Yu Five Viscera Technique" before striving for Core Formation!

"Core Formation!"

His imposing figure stood tall on the deck, his gaze fixed towards the Yue Country, with embers of flame and fierce bolts of lightning dancing within his pupils.

Though Lu Qingxuan might possess far less innate talent than many of the younger generation within his family, he was resolute in his determination not to lag excessively behind!

Beside him, Lu Chensha appeared considerably less enthused about the prospect of battle compared to Lu Qingxuan.

He genuinely harbored reservations about venturing into such a perilous frontline war.

It was simply that the other brothers and sisters of the family had displayed such fervent eagerness in their volunteering, and he had been cultivating quietly at home for decades. To continue this solitary cultivation seemed rather out of place now.

Furthermore, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingze, and the others had earnestly implored him, expressing their hopes that he would strive alongside them, just as they had done years before.

Considering that resources for advancing to the late stage of Foundation Establishment were already scarce, and that further delay held little practical benefit, he ultimately did not refuse the call to arms.
