Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family - Chapter 2437 - 804: Famous Across Yue Country, Searching for His Daughter! (2)
Although it’s not very difficult for a Nascent Soul Immortal to buy a Third Rank Talisman,
at the Third Rank Late Stage, the Third Rank Top-Level Talismans are extremely rare, even difficult for Nascent Soul Immortals to obtain. Only someone like Lu Changsheng wouldn’t find them lacking.
On one hand, there are few Third Rank Top-Level Talisman Masters.
On the other hand, the materials needed to draw Third Rank Top-Level Talismans are rare, requiring things like Third Rank Late Stage Demon Kings or Third Rank Top-Level Spiritual Wood.
Even when available, the quantity is very limited, and no one would find them excessive.
However, during the banquet, a few Nascent Soul Immortals from the Beast Talisman Sect seemed displeased with Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge.
They felt the couple’s demonstrated Talisman Path somewhat shamed their Beast Talisman Sect.
After all, their Beast Talisman Sect was known in Yue Country for establishing its reputation through Talisman Path.
Recently, not only have many people compared Lu Changsheng’s demonstrated talismanic arts with their Beast Talisman Sect,
some even believed their Beast Talisman’s techniques were inferior to the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family.
Though these were merely rumors and whispers, they still felt displeased.
But with a major enemy at hand, these Nascent Soul Immortals from the Beast Talisman Sect couldn’t afford to show narrow-mindedness. One of them smiled and said during a casual chat while drinking, “I heard Changsheng True Master and Miao Ge True Man teamed up to kill three Core Formation cultivators from the Yuan Country. It’s truly inspiring!”
“Just as our Beast Talisman Sect also excels in Talisman Path, perhaps we could consult each other at times, True Master.”
Upon hearing this, many Nascent Soul Cultivators in the crowd were intrigued, wanting to see the comparison of Talisman Paths between the two families.
After all, according to the battlefield situation and the words of Yuanliu True Man, Lu Changsheng’s Talisman Path was indeed impressive.
“You’ve flattered me, Daoist. I am not adept at combat techniques and have no practical experience. I rely entirely on the talismans accumulated over time to defeat enemies,”
Lu Changsheng always had little interest in such exchanges, he jested with a laugh.
“Changsheng True Master is too modest. I heard about that battle back then,”
The Nascent Soul Elder from the Beast Talisman Sect couldn’t believe it.
Could an ordinary mid-stage Core Formation Talisman Cultivator control twenty to thirty Third Rank Talismans? Absurd!
Even if a secret technique achieved that, intercepting and killing all three core formations after the fact shows impressive skills.
“Indeed, Daoist Changsheng is proficient in Talisman Path like our Beast Talisman Sect. Daily exchanges can also enhance techniques, divine skills, and talisman path experience,”
said another Talisman Dao Cultivator from the Beast Talisman Sect.
“You’re correct, Daoist. I currently need to recuperate for several months after using secret techniques with my wife. Once I have time, I will certainly consult and exchange talisman knowledge with you all,”
Lu Changsheng could see these people harbored no real malice, just a bit of competitiveness.
However, he was never interested in such exchanges.
He believed after his daughter Lu Wangshu’s Core Formation, she could spar with cultivators from the Beast Talisman Sect to enhance her understanding of talismans through analogy.
…
After the celebration banquet ended, Lu Changsheng looked at the military merits jade record in his hand with delight.
The killing of three Core Formation Cultivators meant distributing a portion of the military merits to Lu Qingshan and Yuanliu True Man, but this great victory boosted the morale of the Red Peak Mountain Range, thus the rewards were abundant.
For example, the previously hard-to-get Coagulation Crystal Elixir can now be directly exchanged for two pills!
On one hand, the slain Core Formation cultivators were all at mid-stage cultivation.
On the other hand, with Yue Country’s current offensive to boost morale, many rare resources were released, even those for Nascent Soul formation.
Although Lu Changsheng currently lacked nothing from Coagulation Crystal Elixirs, considering his son Lu Qingxuan’s situation, he still exchanged one to openly advance to Core Formation later.
The remaining military merits were handed over to Lu Miaoge to allocate resources for Lu Xingyang, Lu Ziyun, and others, or see if the family needed any resources or items.
After handling these, claiming to recuperate, Lu Changsheng quietly left the Red Peak Mountain Range with Lu Miaohuan to find his daughter Lu Ruyi.
In the past, he needed to use the Blood Tracking Talisman via bloodline media to find his daughter, but now with Fourth Rank Divination, and the close distance with the father-daughter bond, it wasn’t difficult.
The only concern was avoiding detection by cultivators from Yue Country and Yuan Country.
Six days later, deep within the Red Peak Mountain Range, Lu Changsheng saw Lu Ruyi, hidden by a simple formation. Her face was pale, her armor was tattered and bloodstained, and one leg appeared broken.
“Ruyi…”
Seeing his daughter’s pale face, with somewhat dim eyes, Lu Changsheng gently called.
“Another hallucination…”
Hearing the voice, Lu Ruyi paused, instinctively thinking it was another hallucination.
After all, observing over the recent days, she judged herself deep within the Red Peak Mountain Range, nearing the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
This area had numerous demon beasts and was possibly occupied by cultivators from Yuan Country and Liang Country. How could her father appear here?
Feeling her body weaken further, she thought of her early days as a Qi Refining Cultivator, falling into the Zhao Family’s hands in White Tiger Mountain, then fleeing to the depths of the Black Cloud Mountain Range through a Substitute Talisman, where her father found her.
Now, she was no longer the Qi Refining Junior Cultivator of the past.
But the dangers of the Red Peak Mountain Range were incomparable to the Black Cloud Mountain Range back then.
Otherwise, heavily wounded, she would have found a way out.
Although not at death’s door yet, hearing that seemingly hallucinatory voice, her mind began flashing through a montage of her life over the past hundred years.
“Without Father, with my talent, temperament, and ability, I might have only reached the Sixth Level of Qi Refining…”
In a daze, Lu Ruyi saw an ethereal young man appearing amidst the Yin Yang Glazed glow ahead.
He was tall and elegant, with strikingly handsome features, his deep eyes filled with affection as he gazed at her.
“Father, your daughter has let you down…”
She softly murmured at the figure before her.
But as soon as she spoke, she froze, sensing something off.
Even severely injured, she wouldn’t hallucinate, right?
Moreover, the figure before her seemed too real, not at all like the hallucination or visions said to appear before death.
“You’ve never disappointed me,”
Lu Changsheng said with tenderness to his daughter, seeing her heavy injuries, and stepped forward, placing his hand on her shoulder to heal her.
“Hmm, ah!? Father?”
Lu Ruyi was utterly shocked, stunned, never expecting it to truly be her father before her.
Her father had once again appeared in her most dangerous, helpless moment.
She was dumbfounded, filled with disbelief.
“Yes, it’s me.”
Lu Changsheng operated the “Cauldron Medical King’s Scripture,” treating his daughter, discerning her continuous injuries.
Feeling the warm current brimming with vitality, Lu Ruyi felt as if she awoke from a dream, her voice a bit stuttered. She wanted to speak but couldn’t, finally managing to ask after a moment, “Father, why are you here?”
“I heard you were in danger, so I came to find you,”
Lu Changsheng said in a gentle voice.
Though this daughter was mature and independent, his habitual care made Lu Changsheng speak tenderly to his daughters.
Normally strong-willed, Lu Ruyi felt her heart’s tender spot hit upon hearing this, her eyes reddened, never expecting her father to risk coming for her.
“Father, I worried you.” She said softly, biting her lip.
“You needn’t say such things to your father,” Lu Changsheng asked about her situation, why she ended up here.
Lu Ruyi didn’t withdraw immediately, leading to the Yuan Country forces surging in and hitting her warship. She narrowly escaped with the Substitute Talisman.
Facing a demon beast horde here, she exhausted her methods to flee from danger.
Lu Changsheng hearing her story sighed softly, knowing such wars were full of uncertainties, once the main force was defeated, remaining cultivators were as vulnerable as weeds.
“Endure a moment,”
Lu Changsheng noticed her broken leg, mending it with her, and then using Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone for treatment.
Lu Ruyi groaned softly, gazing at the dotingly protective father healing her, feeling a bit dazed.
“Let’s get moving first,”
After a long while, seeing his daughter’s stabilized injuries, Lu Changsheng gave her a pill to ingest and said, preparing to find his son Lu Chensha next.
“Alright.” Lu Ruyi nodded gently, still feeling dazed as if dreaming, then saw her father’s surroundings fill with Yin Yang Glazed glow, enveloping them both, flying deeper into the mountains.
She didn’t ask much but couldn’t help inquiring seeing her father occasionally pause, making calculations, “Father, where are we going?”
“Chensha seems to have fallen into the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. I’m going to retrieve him,”
the Red Peak Mountain Range connected with the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, logically placing Lu Chensha in more danger than Lu Ruyi.
Yet, based on divinatory symbols, Lu Chensha showed indications of mixed blessings, without signs of grave peril.
