Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 1486: 366: The Gatecrashing Elder Shangguan and the Jade Liquid Marrow-Cleansing Pill

Arriving at the mountain gate, Lu Changsheng saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a well-defined face, a slim figure, wearing a purple robe with thunder patterns.

”I am Shangguan Zhan. I’ve heard that Lu True Master is hosting a grand ceremony, so I’ve specially come to join in the fun. I hope my uninvited presence will not be held against me?”

Although this Shangguan patriarch was thin, his voice was very loud, and he resembled an ancient pine tree, strong and vigorous, exuding a majestic and stern aura from inside out.

”A guest is a guest, Daoist Shangguan, for coming from afar, I am most grateful, please!”

Lu Changsheng noticed that this Shangguan patriarch was also accompanied by a stern young man carrying a thunder blade, sensing a bit of hostility from their arrival.

”Since I’ve come, it’s only fitting to present a gift. Here’s a batch of third-rank ’Purple Thunder Gang Sha’ that I have just refined, as a congratulatory gift!”

After arriving at the main hall, the Shangguan patriarch’s hand revealed a jade vial shining with crystal thunder light, flicking it towards Lu Changsheng, during which strands of thunder evil qi spewed and burst forth.

”Purple Thunder Gang Sha!?”

Many people in the hall showed expressions of eager heat in their eyes.

There are rumors that the Shangguan family possesses a Thunder Pool exotic treasure, capable of condensing third-rank Gang Sha through the thunder evil earth veins.
This Gang Sha can not only be used as a Core Formation Spiritual Object for Thunder Dao Cultivation Techniques but also for refining thunder attribute Magical Treasures.

”This old thing really comes with ill intentions.”

Lu Changsheng saw the thunder gang evil qi overflowing from the jade vial, his eyes slightly narrowed, and in a flash, he emitted a third-rank superior grade talisman—the Spirit-Calming Talisman!

”Buzz!”

The talisman blossomed with golden light, forming an invisible wave, resembling a cloud, wrapped the jade vial in front of him, then fell steadily into Lu Changsheng’s hand.

”Hmm!?”

The cultivators present saw this scene, their hearts shivered, realizing the Purple Thunder Gang Sha just now had problems.

Meng Xiaochan next to the main seat gently laid down her jade hand, a deadly poison appeared in her palm.

”This Purple Thunder Gang Sha is too violent, and the container requires a prohibition to be applied. I came in a hurry, so I forgot. I hope Lu True Master does not mind.”

The Shangguan patriarch said in an apologetic tone upon seeing the situation.

But no one present was a fool, knowing this was a kind of probing.

If Lu Changsheng did not see through the test, or if his means were insufficient and unable to catch it properly, he would lose face in front of everyone.

Several families on good terms with Bi Lake Mountain saw this and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Cultivation World, it’s common for newly-promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators to be tested by hostile forces at celebrations, even proposing sparring matches.

If they perform too poorly, not only themselves, but even their entire family forces might lose face greatly.

”Hehe, Daoist Shangguan’s generous gift, how could I hold a grudge.”

In such occasions, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t directly show his anger, speaking with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

Yet, he thought to himself, you’re seeking your own death. Be careful when you go out in the future, don’t let me catch you, or else you’ll have a big problem!

”Lu True Master is magnanimous.”

The Shangguan patriarch, as if he didn’t notice the sarcasm in Lu Changsheng’s words, laughed and continued saying: ”Why haven’t I seen your son Lu Ping’an? My juniors are not talented and were defeated by him. I’ve always wanted to meet this young hero.”

”My son just had an epiphany the other day and is in closed-door cultivation, so he didn’t come.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t say his son went out to train and made up an excuse.

”I see.”

The Shangguan patriarch seemed a bit disappointed, then continued: ”I’ve heard Lu True Master has another son named Lu Chensha, who made a great name for himself in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm in the past.”

”My inept junior, after hearing about your son’s fame, wants to witness your son’s grandeur, might that be possible?”

As he spoke, he reached out and pointed at the stern young man beside him carrying a thunder blade.
