Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2204: 594: 2-in-1 (4)

Despite achieving the status of a Third Rank High-Level Alchemist, capable of concocting Melding Spirit Pills, Lu Changsheng found that the specialized ingredients for such elixirs were not easily procured.

"It's quite alright."

Lu Changsheng had long since tempered his expectations regarding common rewards, considering it sufficient if the items proved useful.

His gaze fell upon the [Dew Collection Plate] before him. After a moment's contemplation, he extended a hand, storing it within his sleeve, and the Michen Banner materialized in his grasp.

Radiating a quinquepartite brilliance, he ascended into the skies above Mysterious Whale Island.

Lu Changsheng bypassed any inclination to observe the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, instead, gripping the Michen Banner, he pressed onward, venturing deeper into the expanse of the Great Dream Marsh.

After a while, he reached a desolate expanse of swirling clouds. There, holding the [Dew Collection Plate] aloft with both hands, he channeled a surge of his mana.

Instantly, as if the Dew Collection Plate within the Coiling Dragon Square Vase had awakened, its draconic maw began to inhale the ambient primordial essence of the world.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Throughout this process, the Dew Collection Plate visibly ascended incrementally, manifesting spectral likenesses of coiling dragons amidst the shimmer of starlight.

"This is truly rather inconvenient."

Lu Changsheng found the act of standing idly, holding the Dew Collection Plate, to be rather undignified. With a mere thought, a phantom image of a six-armed, three-headed Brahmana Demon materialized behind him.

The Brahmana Demon True Body swelled with the passing wind, and subsequently, all six of its arms grasped the Dew Collection Plate. Simultaneously, Lu Changsheng executed hand seals, activating his Chaos Body.

In that instant, he resembled a terrestrial Kunpeng, seemingly poised to annex the very fabric of creation, capturing all surrounding spiritual energy which then cascaded into the Dew Collection Plate.

Several days elapsed. Lu Changsheng observed the Dew Absorption Platform cradled in the arms of the Brahmana Demon True Body, sensing a profound aura of vitality emanating from it.

Though it was merely a minuscule droplet of liquid, it contained an incredibly pure, nascent power and essence.

"Could this be Heavenly Dew?"

Lu Changsheng scrutinized the glistening, azure, fragrant liquid drop, then delicately extended a finger, guiding it towards his mouth.

There was no need to swallow; the Heavenly Dew dissolved upon contact within his mouth, permeating his entire being with a gentle, silent nourishment.

This single drop, a mere Third Rank Heavenly Dew, offered little augmentation to Lu Changsheng himself. Yet, the moment it was consumed, he felt utterly enthralled.

It was akin to experiencing a profound revelation after prolonged, fruitless contemplation—a sudden clarity that brought immense peace to his entire body.

"Indeed, this Fifth Rank High-Level Exotic Treasure is extraordinary, condensing a single drop of Third Rank Heavenly Dew in such a brief span."

"Should a high platform be erected and integrated with the Spiritual Veins Array, it could yield over a hundred drops of Heavenly Dew annually without requiring human intervention!"

"Furthermore, this Heavenly Dew possesses boundless utility, aiding individuals in achieving cultivation enlightenment. Even the most obtuse intellect would be sharpened, yielding exceptional insight with daily consumption!"

Lu Changsheng's gaze rested upon the Dew Collection Plate, his countenance alight with joy, as he fully grasped the profound value of this artifact.

Moreover, this was merely Third Rank Heavenly Dew. Once Fourth Rank Heavenly Dew began to condense, it would prove beneficial even to him.

Previously, he had somewhat neglected the Brahmana Demon True Body due to its lengthy cultivation cycle, thus not dedicating significant effort to it.

However, with an ample supply of High-Level Heavenly Dew, he could achieve the Great Success pinnacle of this divine technique in an extraordinarily short period!

Throughout these intervening years, even with the rudimentary Brahmana Demon True Body, he had been capable of contending with cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Should this Supreme Divine Ability attain Great Success, he would not need to personally intervene; the Dharma True Body alone would suffice to subdue any Nascent Soul adversary.

"This Dew Collection Plate is an absolute must-utilize!"

Without further deliberation, Lu Changsheng journeyed back to Mysterious Whale Island. He then presented the Dew Collection Plate to the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.

He instructed her to proceed to the Deep Sea and employ the Dew Collection Plate to condense Heavenly Dew.

While Third Rank Heavenly Dew held minimal significance for him, it represented an invaluable asset for the members of his household.

Therefore, it could absolutely not be squandered.

Furthermore, Lu Lingjing, as a Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King, would face no peril within such abyssal depths.

"If you wish to partake, the condensed Heavenly Dew can be consumed by yourself."

Lu Changsheng noted that the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale had not yet fully recuperated from her injuries. Considering the restorative properties of Heavenly Dew, he added.

"Understood, Master."

At this juncture, Lu Lingjing assumed her monstrous beast form, her colossal physique dwarfing the surroundings. She delicately placed the Dew Collection Plate atop her head, as if it were a miniature crown.

Following their departure from the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, Lu Changsheng made his way back to the City Lord Mansion.

Lu Quanzhen was still in the process of attuning to his newfound mana. Lu Changsheng, perceiving this, did not hasten matters. Instead, he dedicated these intervening days to fostering stronger connections with Ling Zixiao, Hong Lian, Meng Xiaochan, Bai Ling, and the others.

...

A span of half a month elapsed before Lu Quanzhen finally emerged from his seclusion.

Donning a flowing blue robe and securing his hair with a simple wooden hairpin, his gaze was profound, and his aura exuded a jade-like elegance. While he might not have possessed the same extraordinary handsomeness as Lu Changsheng, his charisma was undeniably potent. Standing against the backdrop of the boundless sea, he resembled a majestic mountain, projecting an unfathomable sense of immense depth.

Even Ling Zixiao found herself taken aback, pondering the fortuitous encounter that granted Lu Quanzhen such a remarkable leap in cultivation, transitioning from Foundation Establishment to the Core Formation stage.

Upon witnessing Lu Quanzhen's emergence, Lu Changsheng felt his own qi mechanism stabilize. He offered a slight nod. After bidding farewell to Qian Zhuyan, he entrusted her and the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale with the guardianship of the Great Dream Immortal City.

Accompanied by the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, he then guided Lu Quanzhen, Lu Linghe, Lu Baixi, and Bai Ling back towards Bi Lake Mountain.

In previous times, the journey between the Great Dream Immortal City and Bi Lake Mountain, undertaken by the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, typically spanned ten days. However, this present trip was completed in a mere three days.

The sole impediment was the extreme flight speed, which only cultivators possessing a Fourth Rank Physique, such as himself, could endure. Even his son, Lu Quanzhen, despite his Third Rank Late Stage Body Refinement, experienced considerable strain.

As they neared Bi Lake Mountain, Lu Changsheng signaled for the Golden Peng to assume its human form. The Michen Banner then materialized in his hand, unleashing a five-colored radiance that transported them directly to the summit of Bi Yun Peak.

"We have finally returned home."

Gazing upon the familiar, expansive landscape, Lu Changsheng experienced a profound sense of peace and utter contentment. Despite possessing the Great Dream Immortal City, his heart still held a special affection for Bi Lake Mountain—this nascent family he had painstakingly founded with his own hands.
