Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Chapter 100 Celebration (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

As Lu Guchu's Golden Elixir Ceremony drew near, Qingcang Mountain became increasingly lively.

Outside the gate of Qingcang Mountain.

A little girl followed behind her grandfather, looking at the Qingcang Mountain in front of her, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

As dawn breaks through the sea of ​​clouds, the thousands of peaks of Qingcang Mountain vie for beauty, and mist shrouds the valleys.

The entire sacred mountain's spiritual veins were fully opened, and the spiritual mist hung like an inverted Milky Way, flowing and turning into rosy clouds among the peaks. Golden Dao patterns were hidden in the clouds, flickering with the mountain wind.

"A third-tier spiritual vein!"

The hunched-over old cultivator, his face dark red, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this extraordinary sight.

"Grandpa, is this a third-tier spiritual vein? No wonder I felt slightly intoxicated after just one breath. But didn't the Lu family patriarch only break through to the Golden Core stage? How could his spiritual vein have been nurtured so quickly?"

The little girl's questioning voice came, and the old cultivator couldn't help but shake his head. "Who knows? When the news of the Lu family patriarch breaking through to the Golden Core Realm broke through, it stunned all the major and minor forces and cultivators in the four western prefectures. The Lu family is really good at hiding their secrets."

Generally speaking, even if a patriarch of a cultivation family breaks through to the Golden Core stage, it's difficult for the family's foundation to keep up in the short term. But look at the Lu family's current immortal-like appearance; they don't seem like a newly promoted Golden Core family at all. They clearly have a deep-rooted foundation. They're not simple at all. Perhaps I really made the right bet this time.

As soon as the old cultivator finished speaking, a rainbow bridge appeared in the sky, spanning north and south, its body shimmering with azure light, welcoming immortals from all directions.

Then, flocks of cranes descended from the clouds, their clear cries echoing the distant tolling of bells atop the mountain.

"The Tanwa Crane!"

When the cultivators saw the flock of cranes, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise. Upon hearing this, the little girl also recalled the information about the Red Feather Crane in her mind.

The Qingyun Sect has the Crimson Feather Crane Venerable, a demon venerable who has already formed his Nascent Soul.

From then on, the Qingyun Sect regarded the red-feathered crane as an auspicious creature and kept many of them as taming beasts.

However, it's not to say that every force is qualified to raise Danyu Cranes. After all, the appearance of Danyu Crane Venerable has elevated the bloodline of the Danyu Crane clan to a higher level. In the past, the Danyu Crane clan could only break through to the Golden Core realm at most, but now they have the foundation of the Nascent Soul demon clan.

All descendants of the clan have the potential to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Purebred Danyu Cranes, due to their superior bloodline, possess Foundation Establishment strength upon birth. Even if their bloodline is impure, as long as the bloodline within them prioritizes the Danyu Crane, they can still reach the late Qi Refining stage upon birth.

For this reason, the red-feathered crane is born by feeding on spiritual energy and can be described as pampered. Ordinary cultivation families would not only be unable to afford to raise it, but it would be another matter if they could even keep it alive.

Moreover, the Qingyun Sect has already issued an order that no one may raise red-feathered cranes without the sect's permission.

Now that the Lu family has a flock of red-feathered cranes, it means that the Lu family has been recognized by the Qingyun Sect. Previously, it was widely rumored in the cultivation world that the Lu family's ancestor came from the Qingyun Sect and had made some contributions to the Qingyun Sect.

But it's an old almanac after all. Twelve generations have passed. Even if there was some affection back then, how much of it is left now?

Therefore, almost no force is concerned about the relationship between the Lu family and the Qingyun Sect. Otherwise, the Hidden Moon Lake would not have favored the Fang family and suppressed the Lu family just because of some of the Fang family's offerings.

Other forces generally share the same idea.

But now, looking at it, the affection is not fading, but clearly stronger. If I'm not mistaken, the leader of the red-feathered cranes must be at the Foundation Establishment stage!

They hid it too well. The Lu family hid it too well, keeping it quiet and even hiding a Foundation Establishment Realm Red Feather Crane.

At this moment, the many cultivators who had been invited couldn't help but feel even more awe for the Lu family.

Even the arrogant Foundation Establishment Elder of Hidden Moon Lake, who had just arrived at the gate of Lu Family Mountain, froze on the spot.

Originally, Elder Yanyue Lake had intended to follow the instructions of Sect Master Lin Conglong to display the majesty of Yanyue Lake and create some unpleasantness for the Golden Core Ceremony, letting the Lu family know who the boss of Nanzhou was. However, he immediately abandoned this idea.

Although the Hidden Moon Lake is powerful, the Lu family has gained the favor of the Azure Cloud Sect, so they can no longer be viewed with the same arrogance as before.

The invited cultivators, led by members of the Lu family, rode on red-feathered cranes towards the mountaintop.

Upon entering the mountain gate, one can see vigorous and upright green bamboos everywhere along the way, with moonlight glass lamps and mutton fat jade bells hanging among the branches.

The lamplight is soft, unlike ordinary fire, quietly radiating a warm and gentle light; the wind rustles the jade bells, their clear and melodious sounds soothing to the listener's mind.

Although they were just ordinary first-tier spiritual items and not worth much money, the sheer number of them was overwhelming. Chen Changsheng and Chen Futong couldn't help but fall silent as they looked at the arrangement inside the mountain gate.

Things are getting better. The Lu family is really doing well. They really can't understand how the Lu family made such a fortune and has such a strong foundation!

Putting everything else aside, the numerous spiritual objects arranged on this mountain alone are enough to buy half of the Chen family's wealth.

Looking at the cliff face, auspicious clouds and cranes, lotus flowers and sword shadows are painted with the condensation of spiritual spring water. The painting is filled with spiritual light, as if living beings are about to leap out. Immortal flowers bloom on both sides of the mountain path, blooming in all four seasons, with a unique and refreshing fragrance. Every step is full of spiritual energy, and even the stone steps are nourished and made as smooth as jade.

"A grand gesture, truly a grand gesture."

Yang Tiantong came to Chen Changsheng's side and couldn't help but praise him. Perhaps because Lu Guchu had just broken through and hadn't shown any Golden Core power in the four western counties, neither the Yang family nor the Chen family had adapted yet and always viewed the Lu family from the perspective of the Foundation Establishment Lu family.

Although he had some respect for Lu Guchu, it was only to a limited extent.

Even now, seeing the magnificent scenery of Qingcang Mountain, they finally realize that things are different, truly different.

The Lu family has produced more than just Lu Guchu, who is at the Golden Core stage. Their foundation is clearly deep, which was previously hidden, but now it can be openly displayed.

Is the Lu family really that good at managing their household? How did they manage to accumulate such a large fortune?

Chen Changsheng really wanted to say that if his own ancestor could also break through to the Golden Core Realm, he would definitely be able to put on a Golden Core celebration that was no less impressive than that of the Lu family.

But reason told him that the Chen family was not worthy.

We can't possibly empty the entire Chen family's coffers for a Golden Core celebration, especially since even if we did, we still wouldn't be able to gather that much money.

The celebration square atop the mountain was paved with millennia-old warm jade, so smooth it reflected the light of the sky and the shadows of the clouds.

Although the warm jade is just an ordinary spiritual object and does not belong to any grade, it has been around for thousands of years, which makes it different and more valuable than many first-grade spiritual objects.

The Lu family actually used this jade to pave the ground. Even if you count it, you might be able to exchange so much warm jade for a single spiritual artifact.

But who would be willing to exchange a magical artifact for such warm jade flooring?

Chen Changsheng and Yang Tiantong exchanged a glance, both seeing deep awe in each other's eyes.

They knew they could no longer view the Lu family with the same perspective as before. With the appearance of Dan Yuhe, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, who knew how many more trump cards the Lu family was hiding?

"Chang Sheng, in a little while, contact the Lu family patriarch and tell him that you are willing to let the Lu family settle in Fuling County. In the future, 50% of the output of the spirit fields, spirit mines, spirit items and so on under the Chen family will be offered to the Lu family."

Ah!

Chen Futong's voice rang in Chen Changsheng's ears, causing Chen Changsheng to be shocked. The Great Ancestor has gone mad! Fifty percent! Is that all?

Chen Changsheng wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back down.

He was a smart man. He understood what the patriarch meant and knew that this was the current situation. Now that the Lu family had established its power, these offerings would probably have to be given in the future, even if they weren't mentioned now.

Rather than doing that, it's better to sell well.

"Chang Sheng, look at the Lu family, what do you see?"

Chen Futong's eyes were cloudy. Chen Changsheng followed Chen Futong's gaze and saw that in the center of the celebration square, nine jade pillars with coiled dragons stood tall. The pillars were entwined with spiritual vines and fairy flowers, which bloomed in seven colors and had specks of spiritual light hanging from their pistils.

Above, clouds gathered to form a canopy, dotted with stardust, and a thousand auspicious wisps of air.

Banners fluttered around the square, embroidered with the patterns of the Azure Mountain Gate, each bearing a faint protective aura, their spiritual light flowing endlessly. Standing there, one felt an overwhelming spiritual energy permeating every part of one's body, a scene of grand celestial celebration, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

"Awesome!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Futong immediately glared at him, "It's destiny, the destiny of the Lu family of Qingcang."

"Luck!"

"Yes, it's all about destiny. The winds of change are rising and the world is in turmoil. Who will rise and who will fall? The Lu family has already gained momentum. Who knows if the Golden Core family will be the end for the Lu family?"

There is Lu Guchu, then Lu Changfeng and Lu Changkong, and below them are Lu Qingren, Lu Qingwen, and Lu Qingwu, among others. And there are countless other geniuses hidden below them.

Barring any major catastrophe, the Lu family will surely rise from obscurity to great heights. Our Chen family needs to make a choice.

Ah!

"But that Nanman."

Chen Changsheng didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear: the Southern Barbarians had already started a major disaster. Although he didn't know why they had suddenly stopped, the fact that the Southern Barbarians were occupying Nanfeng County and refusing to retreat clearly indicated that they were waiting for the right moment to strike. Moreover, if they came again, they would probably open up a Golden Core battlefield.

The Chen family was small in size, and seeing that things were not going well, abandoning Fuling County and going elsewhere was also a way to survive.

But if you really join the Lu family, you won't be able to leave as easily as you want.

If the disaster is severe, the Lu family may be buried with it. Although the Qingyun Sect favors the Lu family, now that the Lu family has become a Golden Core family and is supported by the Qingyun Sect, they must fulfill their responsibilities to protect their territory.

The Chen family can leave, but the Lu family can't just leave whenever they want.

Given the unclear situation, placing bets at this time would be too risky.

If the Lu family truly rises to prominence, it's not impossible to seek refuge with them after the turmoil subsides.

"It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow. My Chen family was once a family of Golden Core cultivators, but we have fallen to this state and retreated all the way to this Southern Prefecture. We have nowhere left to retreat to."

If I break through to the Golden Core Realm, there will still be hope of reviving my family business.

Alas, it is ultimately just a false core, and there is no possibility of further advancement. As for you, although you are exceptionally talented, you are too far from the Golden Core realm.

We've waited too long; the Chen family needs an opportunity.

Now, this opportunity is right in front of us; it's up to us to seize it.

The mountaintop.

Two figures landed opposite Lu Guchu, one sitting and one standing, and the one standing was none other than Lu Feng, who had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As for those who are sitting...

"Fellow Daoist Fan, the support from our sect is very timely. Please convey my gratitude to the sect leader when you return."
