From now on, Jinlong Ridge had a False Core Patriarch in residence, and its fortunes soared.
Meanwhile, White Tiger Mountain gradually fell into decline, the sun setting in the west, with only one Foundation Establishment Cultivator and an old, Second-Rank Clan Guardian Spirit Beast.
“Jinlong Ridge…”
The Purple Robed Elder’s face showed a touch of distress.
Although the two families had been on good terms in the early years, the bonds of kinship had already faded.
One could even say that if it weren’t for the sake of these kinship ties and the fear of tarnishing their reputation, White Tiger Mountain would have already fallen into the hands of the Jinlong Ridge Jin Family.
But now, the Zhao Family had no other choice but to seek help from Jinlong Ridge.
Although White Tiger Mountain still had other allies, families that they were on good terms with,
these family forces clearly would not want to antagonize Bi Lake Mountain.
“Then send people to Red Leaf Valley Market, Qingzhu Mountain, and Hundred Birds Lake to intercept her together. If, as you said, this girl does not have a Transmission Talisman and cannot send a message to Bi Lake Mountain for help, we still have a chance!”
Zhao Family Ancestor continued.
“Yes, Ancestor, I’ll go right away!”
The Purple Robed Elder, as if seeing a glimmer of hope, promptly responded.
A desolate mountain wilderness.
“This… the Talisman my father gave us is so extraordinary.”
Lu Ruyi, after a dizzy spell, took a long time to recover her senses, and found it somewhat unbelievable.
She had been bound, her Spiritual Power completely restrained, unable to be utilized.
Yet she had still managed to activate the Talisman through her Mental Spirit.
“Where am I…”
Lu Ruyi surveyed her surroundings, recognizing only a desolate wilderness, but unsure of her exact location.
“I should have used the Talisman my father gave me to escape immediately.”
“If I had the Iron Feather Eagle and a map now, I would know where I am and could quickly return home to inform my father.”
She bit her lip, regretting her handling of the situation when faced with danger.
She had completely forgotten about the Life-saving Talisman her father had given her, failing to escape immediately.
This led to her Storage Bag and Spiritual Pet Bag being taken, making the journey back to Bi Lake Mountain rather troublesome.
“My family said, being away from home is very dangerous, all the Cultivators you meet could potentially turn into Robber Cultivators.”
“And the place I am now might have Demon Beasts lurking, which would be extremely dangerous.”
At this moment, Lu Ruyi began to cautiously contemplate how she could safely return home.
Now she had no Magic Artifacts, no Talismans.
Merely at the Sixth Level of Energy Refinement, having only cultivated a few basic Techniques, her combat ability was among the weakest of her peers.
Bi Lake Mountain.
After returning to the family, Lu Changsheng immediately had his son Lu Yun check the status of the Lu Family Disciples currently outside to identify which child had encountered an accident.
Lu Yun was still unaware of the incident with Lu Ruyi, but on his father’s orders, he didn’t ask questions and went straight to verify.
Lu Changsheng then waited at home for news.
[Congratulations Host! Your progeny has successfully borne 200 descendants, you have earned one raffle opportunity]
At that moment, a system notification sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind.
“Two hundred…”
Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows.
His two-hundredth child, also, was about to be born.
But unexpectedly, the number of his grandchildren had stepped up faster, surpassing his own.
“This is the power of having many people.”
Lu Changsheng exhaled softly, murmuring to himself.
He could faintly feel that this grandchild also had a Spiritual Root.
But the Spiritual Root was probably of Low Quality, which for him, possessing a First-Grade Spiritual Root, was of minimal effect.
“System, draw.”
Lu Changsheng thought silently in his mind.
Immediately, the raffle wheel appeared, glowing golden.
[Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining Second Rank Dragon Seeking Technique!]
[The reward has been sent to System Space, the Host can check it anytime]
A light sphere, resembling the pattern of earth veins, emerged from the spinning wheel, accompanied by the system’s voice.
