Lu Wangshu demonstrates her enlightenment state to her father, Lu Changsheng, impressing him with her comprehension. Lu Changsheng then gifts her a precious Butterfly Gu to aid her cultivation and talent potential, along with a Heaven-replenishing Elixir. Both Lu Wangshu and Lu Ping’an, also receiving an elixir, initially hesitate to accept, deeming their potential gains limited and suggesting others might benefit more. Lu Changsheng encourages them to take the gifts, hinting that Lu Ping’an can share his elixir if he truly feels unable to use it.

To be honest, there are many family members in need of the Heaven-replenishing Elixir.

He was quite conflicted in this situation, not knowing how to allocate it.

After a brief conversation, Lu Changsheng began to assess his daughter’s progress in the Talisman Path.

Seeing that her Talisman Path was seriously hindered by her cultivation level, he didn’t delay further and helped her refine the Butterfly Gu.

...

Three days later, Lu Wangshu successfully refined the Butterfly Gu.

This Gu insect, resembling a butterfly, vibrated slightly, emitting a misty, multicolored mist, fluttering around her and enveloping her completely.

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, the outline of a pair of butterfly wings appeared to unfold behind Lu Wangshu, dreamlike and ethereal.

"Mount Sumeru."

Lu Changsheng saw that his daughter’s transformation and nirvana into a butterfly required some time, so he did not stay long, instructing the Mount Sumeru Tree King to keep an eye on her condition.

Subsequently, he began to prepare the Blood of Myriad Spirits.

This Blood of Myriad Spirits, from the Ming Sha True Monarch, was of very high grade.

Even though Lu Wangshu had Third Rank Body Refining, she could not withstand it and needed it diluted to be able to absorb it.

Moreover, this Blood of Myriad Spirits also had portions for Lu Wangshu, his daughter Lu Linghe, Lu Baixi, and his sons Lu Shouzheng, Lu Yunxiao, Lu Chensha, Lu Xingchen, and others.

"Sigh, when I was at the Foundation Establishment stage, I didn’t have such favorable conditions."

Lu Changsheng, while continuously diluting the Blood of Myriad Spirits with Spiritual Liquid and Spiritual Medicine, remarked with a click of his tongue.

...

After preparing the diluted Blood of Myriad Spirits, Lu Changsheng went to visit his other children.

"Father, you’re back!"

Lu Linghe, who was practicing martial arts with Lu Baixi in the courtyard, shouted in delight upon seeing Lu Changsheng arrive.

"Father, where are Mengmeng and Minghuang?"

A moment later, Lu Linghe asked.

Although Lu Baixi and Lu Mengchan had a typical relationship,

Lu Linghe, being lively and cheerful, got along with everyone and was very close to both Lu Mengchan and Lu Minghuang.

"Mengmeng and your Aunt Little Chan are cultivating in Jin Kingdom, preparing to advance to Core Formation, and Minghuang is also temporarily residing in Jin Kingdom for a while."

Lu Changsheng explained to his daughter with a gentle smile.

"Father, what is Jin Kingdom like? I heard that Jin Kingdom is a Demon Path Cultivation Country with the Five Poisons Cult, Heavenly Corpse Sect, and Yiming Ghost Sect. Aunt Little Chan used to be a disciple of the Five Poisons Cult..."

Lu Linghe immediately became interested, inquiring about the two and the situation in Jin Kingdom.

"Jin Kingdom actually isn’t much different from our Jiang Country. If you’re interested, next time Daddy will take you to see it."

Now that the situation in Jin Kingdom has stabilized, Lu Changsheng didn’t mind taking his children there for a look.

"Thank you, Father." Lu Linghe nodded happily, harboring no great aversion to the Demon Path.

She believed that goodness and badness depended on the person rather than the cultivation technique or lineage.

After all, her mother Ling Zixiao cultivated a technique that belonged to the Demon Path.

Brother Quanzhen also cultivated a Demon Path technique.

Then she chirped on about the war in Yue Country, saying that the Liangyue War was very intense, Brother Qing Xuan went to the front lines again recently, and her eldest brother often talked about it, and she wanted to see it herself.

She didn’t have an interest in the war itself.

She had just always heard about the cruelty of war and wanted to witness it firsthand.

Lu Changsheng didn’t expect the Liangyue War situation to have spread to such an extent that his daughter Lu Linghe was so clear on it.

From this, one could glimpse the impact of this war on Jiang Country.

"It’s very dangerous. After you break through to Core Formation, if Father has time, I’ll take you to see it."

Lu Changsheng didn’t want his children to witness too much of war’s cruelty.

Yet, faced with his daughter’s clear, untainted eyes, he still nodded in agreement.

"Father, where is Little Peng King?" Lu Baixi was also concerned about her good companion.

Lu Changsheng immediately thought of the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng within the Tianyuan Lotus and released it.

"Master, is there something you need?" The entire radiant golden Peng bird asked as soon as it appeared, wondering if Lu Changsheng had something for it to do.

When it heard Lu Baixi was looking for it, its massive body shimmered with golden light and transformed into a sharp-looking young man clad in golden armor.

"Xiao Xi, did you need something from me?"

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, although youthful in appearance, had a stern and fierce face, as if cast from cold iron, with no signs of youthfulness.

"I just saw Father returned, so I wondered if you had returned too."

Lu Baixi’s delicate, indifferent face revealed a slight smile as she spoke in a quiet voice.

"Oh." The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng nodded solemnly, then said, "Since Master is back, naturally, I will return. Do you have any issues with your cultivation?"

Lu Baixi immediately sought its advice on cultivation.

Lu Changsheng: "???"

Lu Baixi, with a temperament distinct from his other sons and daughters, usually wore a cold expression and seemed disinterested in most matters.

Even when facing him, her father, she only occasionally showed a smile.

Now, however, she showed happiness towards the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng?

Moreover, whereas previously his daughter always sought her father for advice, she now directly asked the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

For a moment, Lu Ancestor felt a bit jealous.

However, he realized that Lu Baixi had always been concerned about her difficulty in growing up.

So, she felt a sense of closeness towards the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, who was older but appeared even younger than her after transformation.

Lu Changsheng planned to find an opportunity to introduce Lu Lingjing to Lu Baixi as well.

"Golden Peng, go check on Chensha and the Illusionary Shadow Mink."

Seeing that their interaction was about done, Lu Changsheng then sent the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng away.

Afterward, he brought out an alchemy furnace and began helping his two daughters refine the diluted Blood of Myriad Spirits, undergoing the process of Washing Marrow and Chopping Bones.
