Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family-Chapter 1056 - 232: Movement in All Directions, Bai Xia Bloodline! (3)

Of course, aside from this method, one could also go to certain organizations or forces to undergo evaluations, thereby indirectly gaining fame.

Lu Changsheng naturally chose the simplest method: taking out a few talismans to sell and auction.

Though such things might be falsified,

few people would be willing to use Third-Rank Talismans for deception or name-building.

Moreover, such falsehoods would inevitably lead to suspicion over time.

"Lu Mountain Lord is truly magnanimous!"

"Lady Lu, rest assured, upon returning, I will certainly promote your esteemed family well."

"Lady Lu, might I ask what kind of heavenly and earthly treasures your esteemed family currently requires?"

The cultivators present, upon hearing these words, all spoke with excitement and enthusiasm.

In Lu Changsheng’s eyes, Third-Rank Talismans were no longer anything special. Ads by PubFuture

But to these cultivators, they were incomparably rare!

Having a Third-Rank Talisman was essentially equivalent to possessing a life-saving artifact.

In times of danger, merely unveiling a Third-Rank Talisman would be enough to deter most Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Materials for the Foundation Establishment Elixir are the same as before."

Lu Miaoge replied with a graceful smile, exuding an elegant demeanor.

Gradually, cultivators began arriving at Bi Lake Mountain to visit.

Apart from offering congratulations and probing for information, many families also came seeking cooperation, with some even proactively pledging allegiance to the Lu Family.

The cultivation world is unpredictable and ever-changing.

One might unexpectedly encounter trouble or cross paths with heretic cultivators or robber cultivators.

Though these families were under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect,

the Qingyun Sect rarely intervened in family affairs under their rule.

It was only upon encountering heretics or demon cultivators that they would send someone to investigate and resolve the matter.

If two families were at odds or clashing, as long as the situation did not escalate excessively or cause too much of a commotion, the Qingyun Sect typically turned a blind eye.

In the event of requesting the Qingyun Sect to intervene and uphold justice, both participating families would have to pay a heavy price.

Thus, these family forces preferred to seek out their own protectors.

However, the families seeking Bi Lake Mountain’s protection were not fools either.

Most were in unfavorable circumstances, hoping to leverage Bi Lake Mountain’s reputation to overcome their crises.

Alternatively, they foresaw that Bi Lake Mountain, as a False Core family, would undoubtedly expand its influence, and by pledging allegiance now, they might gain benefits from the Lu Family, possibly earn a share of the profit.

"Regarding allegiance, esteemed seniors and Daoists may discuss the details with me later."

Lu Xingyang addressed the family patriarchs expressing intentions to pledge allegiance.

The family had indeed discussed this beforehand and planned to recruit several subordinate families to perform tasks for them.

However, the Lu Family would not indiscriminately accept just any family force.

....

Apart from disseminating selective information during visits from other families,

Lu Changsheng also directed the family to publicly and covertly promote his status as a Third-Rank Talisman Master, as well as the specifics of Lu Ping’an’s battle with Patriarch Sima, emphasizing the significance of Third-Rank Talismans.

After all, Lu Ping’an subduing a False Core Patriarch at his age was rather astonishing.

It was necessary to ease the shock somewhat through such information.

The role of being a Third-Rank Talisman Master, along with the Third-Rank Talismans and pre-laid formations, provided a reasonable explanation for how Lu Ping’an managed to subdue and capture Patriarch Sima.

At this moment, within a secret chamber.

Lu Changsheng brought Bing’er with him and was using the Six Desires Heart Demon Technique on Patriarch Sima.

It was not a soul search.

Rather, it was simply a method of disturbing the soul to extract certain information about the Sima Family from the opponent, such as financial resources, cultivation technique inheritance, and other secrets.

With his Taiyi Divine Soul comparable to the peak of Core Formation, employing such methods on a False Core opponent like Patriarch Sima was naturally effortless.

However, his Six Desires Heart Demon Technique lacked the cultivation from the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, which resulted in mediocre effects.

He could only obtain superficial details;for deeper information, the opponent’s subconscious would resist, potentially awakening them.

"The Sima Family has managed to stand strong for so many years;they do have some foundation."

Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly.

Though the Sima Family only had two False Core immortals, their heritage was exceptional.

If needed, they could cultivate a False Core immortal in the shortest time possible.

However, to the Sima Family, having two False Core immortals in residence was already sufficient.

Nurturing additional False Core immortals would only result in wasted resources.

They would consider training new False Core members only after their current ones passed away, thus maintaining the family’s continuity.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng learned that the Sima Family possessed a significant heritage: their ancestral Mysterious Turtle.

This Mysterious Turtle currently had the status of a Quasi-Third Rank entity, remaining in long-term slumber.

Perhaps, after a few hundred years, it could ascend to the Third Rank.

"This type of turtle-based spiritual beast truly is well-suited to serve as a Clan Guardian Spirit Beast..."

Lu Changsheng reflected inwardly.

The Beast Taming Xu Family had a Mysterious Turtle spirit beast, the Sima Family had one, and he recalled the Spirit Taming Sect seemed to have one as well.

This brought Lu Changsheng’s thoughts back to his own Cold Blue Dark Turtle.

Yet, the growth of such turtle-based spiritual beasts was exceedingly slow.

Forty years had passed, and this Cold Blue Dark Turtle had just advanced to the middle stage of the First Grade.

Even Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel speechless.

Lu Wangshu was equally unimpressed with its growth speed.

After all, this Cold Blue Dark Turtle wasn’t raised in the wild.

It was well-fed and cared for, often placed inside Ancient Beast Taming Charms for accelerated cultivation.

"Should I perhaps..."

Lu Changsheng stared at Patriarch Sima before him, his thoughts stirring.

Considering that once Sima Tong was ransomed back, he could find an opportunity to deal with the Sima Family’s other False Core cultivator, Sima Yue.

This way, the Sima Family would be reduced to a level similar to the Jin Family, posing much less of a threat.

After all, Patriarch Sima Tong’s self-destruction of his life-bound magic treasure damaged his foundation, and his combat strength would likely be inferior to Jin Zan, who was a mere blank-slate False Core.

"Master....."

At that moment, the voice of Mount Sumeru echoed in Lu Changsheng’s mind, informing him of an anomaly in Bai Ling’s cocoon of light.

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately ensured Patriarch Sima Tong remained unconscious and departed with Bing’er towards the Changsheng Hall.

Inside the cave mansion, upon the bed.
