Chapter 131: Immortal Fate Hall
"It's Young Master Lu Chengtian!" Lu Zhengqin's eyes couldn't help but brighten suddenly, a flash of viciousness in his eyes.
"Hmph, in terms of blood relationship, my family is even closer to Young Master Lu Chengtian. It's just because Young Master Lu Chengtian doesn't lack capable people around him that I relied on you, Lu Ziying, and followed you to Ten Thousand Spiral Immortal Mountain.
Since you don't value me, why must I follow you! I am a seventh-rank Great Wu Shi, where would I not be welcomed!" Lu Zhengqin thought in his heart, and he had already strode toward the young man in blue.
"Lu Zhengqin greets Young Master Lu Chengtian!" A few steps away, Lu Zhengqin bowed respectfully.
Lu Lu Chengtian's face was narrow and long, and under his garlic nose was a pair of thin lips with two small mustaches on them.
Seeing Lu Zhengqin come up to salute, he raised his eyebrows lightly, looked down at Lu Zhengqin, curled his lips slightly to the side, and said faintly: "So it's Zhengqin, you've also come to Jin Guifeng. You followed Ziying here, right?"
"Replying to Young Master, that's right. This time, following Miss Ziying, there is not only me, but also Lu Huiyun and her husband. Her son was also brought, and it is said that he is to be sent to the family's Immortal Fate Hall for cultivation." Lu Zhengqin replied.
"Is that so? What virtue does a lame live-in son-in-law have that even his son can enter our Lu family's Immortal Fate Hall for cultivation?" Lu Lu Chengtian's face sank slightly upon hearing this.
"Young Master is absolutely right, I thought the same. The Immortal Fate Hall is specifically for the Lu family to discover and cultivate disciples with immortal roots. Let alone the son of a lame outsider, even our Lu family disciples are screened layer by layer before they are qualified to be sent to the clan elder in charge of the Immortal Fate Hall for inspection.
But Lu Huiyun, relying on her good relationship with Miss Ziying, insisted on bringing her son, occupying an extremely precious quota of our Jinxiu Valley Lu family.
Besides, that Lu Ye is not on good terms with you, Young Master. If his son were selected into the Immortal Fate Hall, and if he really achieved something in immortal cultivation in the future, wouldn't that be a loss of face for you, Young Master..." Lu Zhengqin secretly observed Lu Lu Chengtian's expression while speaking, and seeing his face getting uglier, he became bolder.
"Hmph, Lu Ziying is also becoming more and more outrageous. Who is she recommending? She actually recommended the son of a lame outsider." Lu Lu Chengtian finally couldn't listen anymore, waved his hand with a gloomy face, and said: "Where is Lu Ziying now?"
"Replying to Young Master, she is currently leading people to the Seeking Immortal Cliff of Jin Guifeng." Lu Zhengqin saw this, suppressed the wild joy in his heart, raised his hand to point to the party that had already walked far along the winding mountain road, leaving only a few black dots, and replied respectfully.
"Good, I know." Lu Lu Chengtian flicked his sleeves and walked toward the mountain road leading into the mountain with a gloomy face.
"Young Master, please wait for me." Lu Zhengqin saw this and hurriedly chased after him.
"What else is there?" Lu Lu Chengtian's face sank slightly, impatient.
"I said this today, and Lu Huiyun will definitely hold a grudge and stir up trouble between me and Miss Ziying. You also know that Miss Ziying is very partial to Lu Huiyun, and I'm afraid I won't have a good life in the future, so I want to follow you, Young Master, to do things. I hope you can take me in." Lu Zhengqin said in fear.
"Fine. A few days ago, many of my people were transferred away, and I am just short of people to use. From today on, you will follow me. As for Lu Ziying, I will talk to her." Lu Lu Chengtian looked at Lu Zhengqin and quickly nodded.
"Thank you, Young Master. I will definitely be loyal to you in the future and will not hesitate to go through fire and water!" Lu Zhengqin was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly knelt on one knee to express his loyalty.
"Alright, pack up your things. I don't have many people around me now, so you will live with me at Seeking Immortal Cliff from now on." Lu Lu Chengtian said.
"Yes, yes!" Lu Zhengqin was so excited that his whole body trembled upon hearing this, and he quickly ran to pack his things.
"Young Master, Lu Zhengqin can betray Lu Ziying today, and maybe he will betray you someday. Is it a bit inappropriate for you to take him to Seeking Immortal Cliff?" The eighth-rank Great Wu Shi, who looked to be about forty or fifty years old and was with Lu Lu Chengtian, looked at Lu Zhengqin's departing back and frowned slightly.
"On the contrary, he has already betrayed Lu Ziying and must seek refuge under me; he will never dare to betray me again. Moreover, he shouldn't have the chance to betray me.
The situation in Hanxing Valley has been getting more and more tense recently. If I weren't a leader among the younger generation in immortal cultivation talent and valued by Uncle Ancestor Weiwen, who personally pointed out my cultivation, I'm afraid I would have been sent to Hanxing Valley long ago.
Even so, the people I brought this time can only protect you, and the rest have been transferred to Hanxing Valley to guard the mine, or transferred to other places that have become empty due to the war in Hanxing Valley.
This Lu Zhengqin's strength is still okay. If the situation in Hanxing Valley deteriorates further, he can just replace you and go to Hanxing Valley." Lu Lu Chengtian curled his lips into a sneer.
"Young Master is wise!" The Great Wu Shi bowed and flattered upon hearing this.
Soon, Lu Zhengqin ran over with a bundle.
"Let's go!" Lu Lu Chengtian didn't wait for Lu Zhengqin to speak, waved his hand, and walked toward the road into the mountain.
——
Lu Family Immortal Fate Hall.
Located on the outermost edge of the huge cliff protruding from the mountainside, under a huge and ancient pine tree.
The pine tree has been nourished by spiritual energy for a long time, with lush branches and leaves. Its crown is like an umbrella, half suspended over the cliff, and half covering the simple courtyard with white tiles and blue bricks, the Immortal Fate Hall.
Clouds and mist swirl, mountain winds blow gently, blowing the wind chimes hanging under the eaves, making crisp and pleasant bell sounds, and also blowing bursts of pine fragrance. People in it, their hearts are washed away unknowingly, forgetting the troubles and desires of the secular world.
When Xia Daoming followed Lu Ziying to the Immortal Fate Hall, he saw a boy lying on the old roots of the ancient pine that were exposed on the ground like a coiled dragon, holding a scroll of books and reading with relish; there were teenagers sitting cross-legged on the platform of the Immortal Fate Hall protruding from the cliff, closing their eyes and meditating facing the mountain wind; more children and teenagers were sitting cross-legged and meditating in the room, or listening to the clan elders who looked like immortals giving lectures in the school.
Lu Ziying and her husband were obviously very excited to see this scene.
Even Xia Daoming saw Lu Ye's eyes turn red.
This scene inexplicably touched Xia Daoming's long-buried memories.
He seemed to see a middle-aged couple and a young student holding an admission notice standing at the gate of a higher education institution.
At that moment, their eyes were also moist.
Just as Xia Daoming was inexplicably touched, a woman with silver hair, who should be quite old but whose skin was well-maintained with few wrinkles, walked over.
"Ziying greets the clan elder!" Lu Ziying bowed hurriedly.
Lu Ye and the others also bowed hurriedly, with awe from the depths of their souls in their eyes.
The clan elders of the Lu family Great Sect, to them, were all like gods.
"What a well-carved and jade-like child. Is he the child you recommended?" The woman nodded slightly to Lu Ziying and the others, and her gaze quickly fell on Especially Especially Lu Yunjin, revealing a look of love.
"Replying to the clan elder, he is indeed the child the junior recommended, Especially Especially Lu Yunjin." Lu Ziying replied respectfully.
"Hmm, come over and let me see." The woman beckoned to Especially Especially Lu Yunjin, her attitude kind, more like a kind elder than an immortal cultivator high above.
"Jin Er, hurry over and let the clan elder see you well!" Lu Ye couldn't suppress his inner excitement and urged in a low voice.
The woman looked at Lu Ye, a trace of displeasure appearing in her eyes.
Lu Ye was not only a cripple but also had thick shoulders and a thick neck, with a face full of fat, like a cook. It was really difficult for a woman to like him.
Moreover, Lu Ye was only at the sixth-rank realm. Speaking in such an occasion without permission was also an act without respect for status in the woman's eyes.
"He is Jin Er's father. Because he is too excited, he is a bit rude. Please don't take offense, clan elder." Lu Ziying was rough but careful, and explained hurriedly upon seeing this.
"He is this child's father?" The woman was unexpectedly surprised, and then the look she gave Lu Ye carried a trace of sympathy and pity.
Even the woman subconsciously looked at Xia Daoming, making Xia Daoming feel dumbfounded.
This old woman wouldn't think this child is mine!
"Yes, yes. He is a martial artist who married into our Lu family, named Lu Ye. He has been working diligently in the Lu family all these years." Lu Ziying said hurriedly, while Lu Ye on the side kept nodding and bowing, smiling apologetically, which made Xia Daoming feel a bit sad and guilty.
However, thinking that following his Xu Shixiong to join a Qi Refinement family first and slowly contacting and understanding the immortal cultivation circle was a safe way, he could only let his Xu Shixiong be wronged for now.
"Then this child's mother..."
"This is his mother, named Lu Huiyun."
"Fine!" The clan elder looked at Lu Huiyun, and then looked at Lu Ye, her sympathy even deeper.
If the child's mother were better looking, the clan elder could still think the child took after the mother.
But the problem was that Lu Huiyun was even taller than Lu Ye.
Even if the clan elder died, she couldn't believe that the two of them could give birth to a child who was as well-carved and jade-like and looked like a golden boy.
Then there was only one answer.
This lame guy was cheated on!
Being a live-in son-in-law was already pitiful enough, and he was actually cheated on.
Being cheated on was one thing, but he actually cared so much about this child!
Pitiful!
But anyway, this child has the blood of my Lu family, why should I care so much!
Unlike Unlike Lu Suyun, the clan elder who was well-maintained, thought in her heart, and gently pressed her hand on Especially Especially Lu Yunjin's head, closing her eyes to sense carefully.
Although most children under the age of eight or nine still have some original true qi brought from the mother's womb, and the eight extraordinary meridians are not completely blocked.
But there are also some people who lost their original true qi very early, and the eight extraordinary meridians were blocked very early. Even if this part meets the age requirements, they cannot cultivate immortality.
There is also the vast majority of children whose remaining original true qi is too little, and the eight extraordinary meridians are blocked relatively seriously. These are also not suitable for immortal cultivation.
Only those who meet the age requirements, have a decent amount of original true qi remaining in their bodies, and whose eight extraordinary meridians are not blocked too severely, have a chance to cultivate immortality.
And this is only a chance. Whether they can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and guide the energy into their bodies later depends on their temperament, comprehension, root bone talent, etc.
For this opportunity, the Lu family's Immortal Fate Hall only gives one year.
If they can guide the energy into their bodies within a year, they can stay, otherwise they can only return home.
Lu Ye and his wife were very nervous when they saw the clan elder put her hand on their son's head, and they didn't dare to breathe.
After a while, Unlike Unlike Lu Suyun slowly opened her eyes, gently touched Especially Especially Lu Yunjin's head, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Not bad. If his comprehension and so on are okay, there should be a good hope of guiding the energy into the body and stepping into the path of immortal cultivation."
"This, this, do you mean to say that my son can enter the Immortal Fate Hall?" Lu Ye was so excited that he forgot the rules again.
However, this time, Unlike Unlike Lu Suyun didn't show displeasure, but looked at him with a bit of pity, and just as she was about to nod and say yes, Lu Lu Chengtian and a man in green clothes with an elegant temperament walked in.
This man with an elegant temperament was the clan elder who worried about the subordinates becoming stronger than the masters in the Lu family council hall last time and disagreed with cultivating the outstanding disciples of the small sect equally, and was also the Uncle Ancestor Weiwen in Lu Lu Chengtian's mouth.
Lu Lu Chengtian was a direct descendant of the Jinxiu Valley family head's branch, and his blood relationship with Lu Weiwen could be considered relatively close.
"I don't think it's okay." Lu Weiwen frowned and looked at Lu Ye as soon as he walked in, saying in a deep voice.
PS: There should be an extra update for the Alliance leader today, but it should be around noon.
