“Sigh, beauty leads to trouble,” Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart.
Initially, when he had rescued Nangong Mili, it was true that he did so for the sake of Meng Xiaochan, hoping that the other party could resolve Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Roar Physique.
But he could not deny that he had developed some feelings for Nangong Mili.
Especially after finding out about the situation with the Lockheart Gu.
“I hope this won’t affect Xiao Chan and Yaoyao too much,” Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and said.
His sense of urgency regarding his cultivation strength grew even more.
...
If he had the cultivation of Core Formation, he could have gone directly to Jin Kingdom and tried to bring back his daughter, or Meng Xiaochan.
But for now, even though he possessed various methods and was not afraid of ordinary Core Formation cultivators, he dared not take the risk lightly.
That night,
Lu Changsheng drowned his sorrows in wine and merriment, forgetting his worries.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Lu Changsheng turned his distress into motivation, and the three concubines in his house successfully conceived.
However, Ling Zixiao still had not conceived.
It goes to show that it’s invariably harder for two Foundation Establishment Cultivators to get pregnant.
Since returning from Qingyun Sect, Lu Changsheng had his family keep an eye on the news from the Luoyun Mountain Range.
Indeed, they learned that Qingyun Sect and Luoxia Sect were contesting the ownership of a mine vein within the Luoyun Mountain Range.
And even some conflicts had aroused between the two sides.
Though the conflicts were not significant.
Hearing this news, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but worry a little about Xiao Xiyue.
After all, according to Zhao Qingqing, Xiao Xiyue was with her master, standing guard over this Luoyun Mountain Range.
Moreover, as news of Mountain Lord Lu Changsheng’s promotion to a Second-Order Alchemist and the sale of Second-Order Elixir Medicines at the Red Leaf Valley Market began to spread, it caused quite a stir.
Neighboring family forces, such as Qingzhu Mountain, Hundred Birds Lake, Centipede Ridge, Xu Family of Yushan, among others, all sent people to congratulate him.
After all, the status of a Second-Order Alchemist is somewhat higher than that of a Second-Order Talisman Master.
Fully equivalent to a Foundation Building Great Cultivator!
Especially since Lu Changsheng, as the Master of Bihu Mountain and Second Rank Talisman Path Master, had now become a Second-Order Alchemist, his achievements were beyond remarkable.
Any astute observer could see that Lu Changsheng’s rise to a Second-Order Alchemist within a decade suggested he might have a chance to become a Second-tier Top Level Alchemist in the future.
Once he became a Second-tier Top Level Alchemist, he would be a distinguished guest wherever he went in the cultivation world.
He could even go to the Immortal Sects to serve as a Visiting Noble Servant!
Somehow, a new title “Master of Both Pill and Talisman” began to circulate about Lu Changsheng.
However, as Lu Changsheng’s various deeds over the years became known, other family forces grew increasingly wary of Bihu Mountain’s influence.
A Second-Order Talisman Master, a Second-Order Formation Master, Dao Companion to an Immortal Sect Disciple.
Now with the additional title of a Second-Order Alchemist.
It was clear to everyone that Bihu Mountain was thriving day by day with a promising future full of potential!
This caused some Foundation Establishment family forces in the Qingyun Region, even those of the False Core Forces, to feel a sense of crisis.
As family forces began to rise, with multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators, one problem they had to face was this:
The Family Spirit Vein could not keep up with sustaining so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators; they needed to establish branch families or even new Family Spirit Lands!
Currently, the Qingyun Region was relatively stable, and most Second-Order Spirit Lands had owners.
Lu Changsheng’s acquisition of Bihu Mountain had been respectable,
But no one wanted to become the next Bihu Mountain.
For this situation, Lu Yun, the Family Head, was aware, and through his mother Lu Miaoyun, informed Lu Changsheng.
To this end, Lu Changsheng discussed it broadly with Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoyun.
The family’s business was mainly centered around the Red Leaf Valley Market.
Although there was some influence in the surrounding area, it was mainly cooperative relationships, which should not cause any disturbance.
However, once they wanted to expand their business beyond this area, they anticipated many challenges.
To this, Lu Changsheng did not pay much mind, merely instructing his family to keep things steady with their current affairs.
After all, the family was not truly reliant on these businesses for their modest earnings.
With enough time and stable development, once his children grew up and he himself broke through to Core Formation, these problems would no longer be issues!
As the saying goes, persistence pays off; after Lu Changsheng’s diligent efforts, a month later, Ling Zixiao finally became pregnant!
