The daughter sent by the Ancestor of the Ning Family only had a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root, but she was one half of a pair of twins with exceptional beauty.
For such a case, it was actually quite good.
After all, to become a concubine of Lu Ancestor, one not only needed decent Spiritual Root Talent.
They also had to be beautiful, obedient, sensible, and adept at winning people’s favor.
This made the options truly quite limited.
Moreover, a Middle Grade Spiritual Root, to most Foundation Establishment Families, was already considered to be a rare talent.
If the real ancestors blessed them with a Top-Grade Spiritual Root, how could they possibly send her to be someone else’s concubine?
Either send her off to a Sect or cultivate her well in one’s own home!
Bihu Lake Mountain.
These days, Bihu Lake Mountain was bustling with activity, with people coming and going.
Many Family Forces friendly with and married into Bihu Lake Mountain, upon hearing the news, came to pay their respects and offer their congratulations.
After all, such a remarkable feat by Bihu Lake Mountain, it was only proper that these families offer their congratulations.
Of course, in addition to congratulating, they also had their own motives.
With Bihu Lake Mountain taking over White Tiger Mountain, naturally, many new deals and affairs would arise.
They came to offer congratulations, show their face, and also sought to see if they could obtain some business cooperation, thereby getting a taste of the benefits.
Since the establishment of Bihu Lake Mountain, families like the Xu Family of Xiao Han Pool and the Ji Family of Xiaojing Mountain, among the first batch to seek refuge and intermarry with the Lu Family, had gained quite a bounty, strengthening their families.
Nowadays, seeing an opportunity, they naturally flocked over.
Apart from the smaller family forces, many Loose Cultivators also came to Bihu Lake Mountain, hoping to join.
At this moment, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator walked out from Bihu Lake Mountain, his expression somewhat bewildered.
“Where did Lu Mountain Lord find his Dao Companion? Knowing our objectives are for matrimonial alliances, offering our granddaughters to Lu Ancestor as concubines, she actually agreed delightedly, immediately accepting.”
“And the look on her face, it didn’t seem fake at all.”
This Foundation Establishment Ancestor looked bewildered, feeling as if the world was a bit surreal.
After learning about the affair of Bihu Lake Mountain and White Tiger Mountain and knowing Lu Mountain Lord fancied beauties and valued offspring,
he planned to offer his own granddaughter as a concubine to Lu Ancestor, hoping for more interaction between the two families.
However, upon arriving at Bihu Lake Mountain, he learned that Lu Changsheng was still on White Tiger Mountain and had not returned.
He thought his journey would be in vain.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ancestor’s Dao Companion, Ling Zixiao, upon hearing the intention, directly accepted on behalf of her own Dao Companion, leaving him utterly confused.
After all, Foundation Female Cultivators were already fewer than male cultivators.
Female Cultivators looking for a Dao Companion could easily find a male Cultivator relatively superior to themselves.
And this Lady of the Lu Family, Ling Zixiao, he had heard of her.
Not only was she a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, but she was also an Array Master!
Truth be told, on any ordinary day upon seeing such a Cultivator, he would have to behave with utmost courtesy.
If one could marry such a Female Cultivator as a Dao Companion, it would be as if their ancestors were blessed, living in fear of displeasing the other on any normal day.
Yet, this Lu Mountain Lord not only continued to have numerous wives and concubines, but his Dao Companion showed no jealousy in this matter, even helping her Dao Companion take concubines.
It was simply… incomprehensible!
“Could it be, just because this Lu Ancestor is so incredibly handsome?”
This Foundation Establishment Ancestor recalled seeing Lu Changsheng at an auction in Red Leaf Valley early in his years.
He had to admit, Lu Ancestor’s otherworldly handsome looks, with a stature and temperament like lofty pines and elegant orchids, truly seemed like a Banished Immortal.
Otherwise, his own granddaughter would not have blushed and timidly let her grandfather decide everything about becoming a concubine.
White Tiger Mountain.
As Lu Changsheng brought some of his own people from Bihu Lake Mountain, under the arrangements of Lu Quanzhen and Lu Yun, the power of the Zhao Family Patriarch was gradually stripped, leaving only a nominal position.
And all Cultivators of the Zhao Family had taken a Heart Demon oath and signed a Spiritual Contract, completely submitting to the Lu Family.
It’s just that many Cultivators of the Zhao Family, upon hearing about the family affairs and receiving the summons, chose not to obey the order to return to the family and instead vanished without a trace.
After all, with such a major incident occurring on White Tiger Mountain, some of them were worried that the Lu Family would turn treacherous and execute mass slaughter.
So they chose to give up their Zhao Family identity, live incognito, and become Loose Cultivators.
Facing such situations, even Lu Changsheng was powerless.
For most Family Forces, this issue was considered insolvable.
To completely control and wipe out every single one was too difficult.
There would always be some fish that slipped through the net.
But such fish that slip through the net were considered harmless.
To be able to, as recorded in historical tales, have one’s family and clan destroyed, to find a stroke of luck while outside, and then become a great Cultivator for revenge, was exceedingly rare.
Or put another way, once entering the Cultivation World and embarking on the path of Cultivation, whether it is a Loose Cultivator walking the Great Dao alone or a Cultivator establishing Family Forces, one must be prepared for such outcomes!
Artifact Refining Pool.
Lu Changsheng was having several Zhao Family Cultivators forge a Magic Artifact for him to Sever Spiritual Veins.
Although the Zhao Family no longer had any Second Rank Artifact Refiners, forging a few simple Magic Artifact components was still within their capabilities.
Just then, abruptly, a system notification rang in Lu Changsheng’s mind.
[Congratulations to the host for reaching a progeny count of two hundred, you have been rewarded with one Advanced Level lottery draw]
“Just as I thought!”
Upon hearing this system notification, Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
He had previously guessed that reaching two hundred offspring might grant him an Advanced Level lottery draw!
Now it seemed his guess was correct, and the “Child Money” had arrived as expected.
“I wonder what I will draw this time!”
Muttered Lu Changsheng to himself, full of anticipation.
On his first Advanced Level draw, he obtained the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi!
On the second Advanced Level draw, he gained the Mount Sumeru Tree King!
Now with the third draw, he thought it wouldn’t let him down either.
