Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

They gave in!

At this moment, both Lin Conglong and the Lu family members were stunned.

Lin Conglong was puzzled, angry, and jealous; he wished Huo Ying would kill Lu Guchu.

The Lu family was ecstatic. They had never even dared to dream of a Foundation Establishment family becoming a Golden Core family.

Lu Yang, in particular, was both surprised and somewhat bewildered. This was a Golden Core family?

No wonder the Life-Breaking Pearl is so pure and flawless; it turns out that a Golden Core Ancestor is by its side. Good heavens! Originally, Lu Yang was thinking that he had a cheat code and could slowly cultivate it in the future, eventually leading his family to the level of a Golden Core family, which would be a way of repaying the family's nurturing grace.

Who would have thought that before he could even break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, his own ancestor had already broken through to the Golden Core stage.

Where is the promised late Foundation Establishment stage? As expected, the path of survival is still paramount. What's the big deal about him hiding two layers of cultivation? His own ancestor simply hid his Golden Core.

Looking at the spirited ancestor above, Lu Yang could only ask: What should we do if our ancestor is working too hard?

"That's how it should be."

Lu Guchu smiled slightly. It would be best to avoid a fight if possible, but as for Huo Ying, it wasn't exactly an admission of weakness.

After Lu Guchu broke through to the Golden Core stage, the Lu family became a Golden Core family. Naturally, a Golden Core family should have the territory and power that a Golden Core family should have.

The Lu family's Qingcang County borders the southern barbarian lands to the south, the Chen family of Fuling to the east, the Yang family of Biannan to the west, and the Fang family of Kaiyang to the north.

Now that the Fang family of Kaiyang has been taken over by the Lu family, the territory of Yanyue Lake lies just north. If the Lu family continues north, then they will really have to go to war with Yanyue Lake. Lu Guchu doesn't want to fight this war, and neither does Huo Ying. But if they don't fight, the Lu family will be confined to this southern border.

Actually, there are many intricacies involved. Qingcang County is located in Nanzhou, which has a total of nine counties, divided into four western counties and five eastern counties.

Qingcang County is located in the Western Four Counties, which border the Southern Barbarians. Almost no Golden Core forces are willing to take over this area, since once they do, they will have to face the Southern Barbarians directly.

It's important to know that the Southern Barbarians are not without Golden Core experts; they even have Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone Golden Core ones.

Don't be fooled by the pitiful appearance of the Southern Barbarians who came to plunder; they were just a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even the Foundation Establishment priests were only one.

That's because it was just a simple raid; the Southern Barbarians had no intention of starting a war.

Three thousand years ago, the Southern Barbarians launched a massive invasion, unleashing Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators. They not only sank the four western prefectures of Nanzhou, but also crippled much of the power of the entire Nanzhou and even most of the Yue Kingdom.

The Golden Core sect that once occupied the four western prefectures was called the Zixia Sect, famous for its alchemy. However, after that battle, the Zixia Sect was wiped out. Three thousand years have passed, and people no longer remember the Zixia Sect, but the threat it posed to the Southern Barbarians remains vivid in their memories.

Although the Qingyun Sect led the charge in that battle and crippled the Southern Barbarians, three thousand years have passed, and the Southern Barbarians have long since recovered and grown stronger. Who knows when the Southern Barbarians will launch another massive war?

If it weren't for the Southern Barbarians, these four western prefectures would have been occupied by the Moonlit Lake long ago, and the Lu family would never have had the chance to form their core.

The Fang family, despite being weak, has survived to this day. In fact, it is because the Lu, Chen, and Yang families all do not want to directly confront the Hidden Moon Lake, which is why they have been allowed to remain.

It wasn't until Lu Guchu broke through his current level and had the idea of ​​expanding his power that he began to take action against the Fang family.

Now that the Lu family has risen to power, it is unstoppable. Huo Ying does not want to fight to the death with Lu Guchu, so he simply gives up Kaiyang County. However, as long as the Lu family is locked up in the four western counties, then Yanyue Lake will have an insurance against the Southern Barbarians.

With the Lu family in front, they can make decisions about whether to advance or retreat at Yanyue Lake.

So whether it's good or bad remains to be seen, but at least this reason is enough for Huo Ying to comfort himself.

Therefore, exchanging Huang Yangming for an opportunity to restrict the Lu family's Golden Core cultivation and to build a Golden Core-level city wall for Yanyue Lake is not a bad deal.

The Lu family likes to reason, so Huo Ying is now trying to reason with Lu Guchu. Since everything has been agreed upon, if the Lu family goes back on their word and continues to harass and invade the north, then it will be the Lu family that is being unreasonable. In that case, when it comes to the Qingyun Sect, it will also be the Lu family's fault.

The strong don't need to reason with the weak, but if there's no reason among the strong, then that reason becomes part of their strength.

Moreover, Huo Ying said that if the Lu family dared to step into the territory of the Hidden Moon Lake, they would only die there. Given the current situation, this statement is no exaggeration.

Although Lu Guchu was unwilling to be confined here, he had only recently formed his core, and the Lu family did not have the foundation that a Golden Core family should have.

At this time, for the Lu family, stable development is the most important thing.

So Lu Guchu simply turned his head and immediately agreed with Huo Ying's statement. Seeing that the matter was settled, Huo Ying did not want to stay any longer. Now that the Lu family had appeared in the four western counties, he also had to go back to Yanyue Lake to think of a countermeasure.

What is said in words is ultimately unreliable; the Lu family might shamelessly renege on their promise one day.

Therefore, in addition to verbal agreements, there also need to be some practical policies, such as logistics restrictions, resource restrictions, and population restrictions. In any case, as long as the Moonlit Lake exists, the Lu family's reach will never extend north of Kaiyang County.

After Yanyuehu left, cheers erupted on Wolong Mountain.

A family of Golden Core cultivators! It would be an exaggeration to say that the Lu family has risen to the top in one step because of Lu Guchu's breakthrough, but the Lu family today is definitely the absolute peak of the Lu family in the past five hundred years.

However, the Lu family was not blinded by this development. Lu Changfeng and Lu Guchu returned directly to Qingcang Mountain, while the Grand Elder began to lead the Lu family members to completely occupy Kaiyang County.

Kaiyang County has abundant resources. If the Lu family can fully absorb Kaiyang County, their strength will definitely reach a new level.

Cangbei County.

Lu Yang did not serve under Lu Cunshen, but was brought back by Lu Changfeng. However, at the mountain gate, Lu Yang was thinking about going back to his hometown in Cangbei, so he asked Lu Changfeng for leave and prepared to go back.

Approaching Lujia Town in Cangbei County, Lu Yang was filled with mixed emotions.

Like Canglan County, Cangbei County also has Lujia Town. In this world, cultivation is the ultimate goal, and the dynasty is merely the executor of the will of the immortal forces.

Therefore, not only is the mayor of Lujia Town a member of the Lu family, but the magistrate of Cangbei County is also a member of the Lu family, and even the prefect of Qingcang County is actually a member of the Lu family.

Upon entering Lujia Town, Lu Yang made no attempt to conceal his presence. As a result, before he even entered the town, a figure appeared and blocked his path.

"This is the territory of the Qingcang Lu family. Who comes here?"

More than ten years have passed since they last met, and how many people in Lujia Town still recognize Lu Yang?

Lu Yang looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly. "Grandpa Cunyuan, it's me, Lu Yang."

Lu Yang!

Lu Cunyuan was startled upon hearing this, his eyes fixed on Lu Yang like lightning. The more he looked, the wider his smile became. "It really is you, little Lu Yang. What brings you back?"

In fact, Lu Cunyuan and Lu Yang had only met once, when Lu Yang was diagnosed with his spiritual root. At that time, Lu Cunyuan was the one who handed over the task to the Seventh Elder.

Like Lu Cunshan and the others, Lu Cunyuan was also over sixty years old and had no hope of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He returned to Lu Family Town to guard the town and nurture the clan's younger members.

In Lu Cunyuan's view, every child who leaves Lujia Town is no different from their own children.

Of all the people who have impressed Lu Cunyuan since he returned, Lu Yang is undoubtedly the one who left the deepest impression on him. After all, Lu Yang has the aptitude of three spiritual roots and may become the first Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to emerge from Lujia Town in Cangbei County in the future.

Lu Cunyuan was naturally overjoyed to see Lu Yang return.

Looking at Lu Cunyuan's smiling face, Lu Yang also smiled, "I went on a mission with Second Ancestor, and on the way back I thought of you all, Grandpa Cunyuan, and missed you terribly, so I decided to come back and see you. Grandpa Cunyuan, how have you been all these years?"

"All is well, all is well. Seeing you kids who came from this town becoming more and more successful makes me happier than anything else. Come on, let's go into town."
