And moreover, the family was unable to expand outward;
once the Foundation Establishment Ancestor met with an accident, the family would plummet immensely.
Bi Lake Mountain.
“Grandmother, father-in-law.”
Upon knowing that the Fourth Elder and Lu Yuanding had arrived, Lu Changsheng immediately brought his son, Lu Yun, and his wife, Lu Miaoyun, together with Lu Miaohuan to greet them.
He also asked Mount Sumeru to notify Lu Miaoge.
In these days, Lu Miaoge had been in closed-door cultivation in the cave mansion, preparing for the breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer, so she seldom appeared.
“Great-grandmother, grandfather.”
Lu Miaoyun was very happy to see her grandmother quietly.
After all, because of the Heavenly Longevity Technique, she couldn’t actively go to Qingzhu Mountain.
And the old people were getting on in age and were not too willing to travel back and forth.
“Hm? You are… Yun’er?”
The Fourth Elder looked at Lu Miaoyun in front of her, slightly stunned.
Had it not been for the other party addressing her, she would have hardly dared to recognize her.
She even suspected whether Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun had another daughter.
“Grandmother, it’s me, Yun’er.”
Lu Miaoyun, finding it both amusing and sad, couldn’t believe her grandmother hardly recognized her upon seeing her.
But considering her changed appearance, it was normal for the Fourth Elder to hesitate to recognize her at first.
“Very good, just like when you were little.”
The Fourth Elder scrutinized her granddaughter’s appearance, gently stroked her face with a hand and nodded with a smile, so pleased she was grinning from ear to ear.
It was quite a while later when she, in an aged voice, said, “Yun’er, I heard from Xiaoyu that you had reached Foundation Establishment, is that true?”
Even now, she still found it hard to believe the news about her granddaughter’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
“Grandmother, it’s indeed true.”
Lu Miaoyun said with a face full of smiles, revealing the aura of her Foundation Establishment Spiritual Pressure.
Although the Foundation Establishment attained through the Heavenly Longevity Technique was somewhat frail.
But this cultivation base aura was nonetheless genuine.
“Very good, very good. I never thought I’d live to see my Yun’er become a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.”
Her face was filled with satisfaction, her eyes slightly teary.
For her, her granddaughter’s breakthrough to becoming a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator was an enormous pride!
She kept chatting with Lu Miaoyun for a while, then turned to Lu Changsheng, held his hand, and spoke, “Changsheng, thank you for your efforts.”
The Fourth Elder knew that her granddaughter’s breakthrough was definitely aided by Lu Changsheng.
Otherwise, considering her granddaughter’s situation, how could she have broken through to Foundation Establishment.
“Grandmother, there’s no trouble at all. I’m even raising a big koi dragon, waiting for you to visit.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
But looking at the Fourth Elder’s aged appearance and the signs of twilight, a melancholic sadness surged in his heart.
Although the elder had taken First Grade and Second Grade Lifespan Extension Pills,
Her life was drawing to a close.
After all, Energy Refining Cultivators theoretically could live up to a hundred and twenty years, but few indeed lived to such an age.
The Fourth Elder had been a Talisman Master in her early years, spending long years crafting Talismans, which consumed a great deal of her mental spirit.
Now aged over a hundred and ten, she probably had about ten years left.
“Very good, very good, Changsheng, you are very thoughtful.”
The Fourth Elder showed a gratified smile on her face, then looked at her great-grandsons and said, “Yun’er, Xiaoyu, you also need to work hard, aiming to reach Foundation Establishment in the future.”
“Yes, great-grandmother.”
The siblings exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement.
“Father-in-law, Sister Miaoge is currently in closed-door cultivation for her breakthrough, and I have already sent her a message.”
At this time, Lu Changsheng explained to Lu Yuanding.
This father-in-law was also now more than eighty years old.
His hair was silver, and his face showed the marks of age, lacking the scholarly youthfulness of his earlier years.
“It’s alright, cultivation is more important.”
Lu Yuanding waved his hand and declared.
Looking at Lu Yun and Lu Rain, he couldn’t help but think of his own grandchildren, Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu, showing a hint of longing and envy in his eyes.
Although they were all one family, he naturally felt closer to his daughter’s children.
Especially since he had raised Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu practically single-handedly.
“Grandmother, father-in-law, you must be tired from the journey;
let’s go inside first.”
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng led the two towards the Lu Family Mansion, then said to his son Lu Yun, “Yun’er, when you have time, make sure to interact more with Mu Nian.”
He naturally knew why Qing Zhu brought Lu Munian along.
It was in the hope that the two families would interact more often, growing closer.
“Yes, Father.”
“Uncle, take care.”
The two nodded in response.
Yue Country, Jinyang Sect.
“Are you going to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm?”
Tianyuan True Immortal looked at Lu Qingshan with some surprise.
Although the Purple Shadow Secret Realm was in Jiang Country, because the two countries were neighbors, even cultivators from Yue Country would make their way there.
“Mm, four years later, I need to head to the Qingming Secret Realm.”
“Currently, the Purple Shadow Secret Realm is about to open. I intend to use this opportunity to go there to test my sword skills and temper myself.”
“And I promised Little Zhu that after my breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, I would take her home for a visit.”
“But with the matter of the Qingming Secret Realm, after my breakthrough, I definitely won’t have time to take Little Zhu home.”
“So I thought that this trip to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm could also include taking Little Zhu home for a visit.”
Lu Qingshan, with his handsome face and bright eyes, and showing a white, toothy smile, stood tall as he spoke.
“In that case, I will take you and Qing Zhu there later.”
Tianyuan True Immortal pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
