Chapter 195: Chapter 109: Trouble is Brewing, Heart Demon!_2
 

During these days, Lu Changsheng stayed at home, living a simple and quiet life.

He spent his days cultivating, making talismans, and accompanying his wives and children.

Of course, in the vital matter of childbearing, Lu Changsheng had not fallen behind either.

He had reached a total of seventy-three children.

This was after Lu Changsheng started practicing eugenics.

Otherwise, the number would have increased by at least another ten.

One day.

In the practice room.

“Clang clang clang”

Lu Changsheng held in his hand a piece of cracked and dim red gold essence.

His bones constantly emitted the clanging sounds of gold and iron, like soldiers.

It was as if numerous blacksmiths were wielding hammers within his body, forging divine weapons with his flesh and bones, sparks flying everywhere without end.

He did not know how much time had passed.

“Crack!”

Lu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of foul air, and crushed the dim, cracked piece of red gold essence in his hand to dust.

An invisible pressure was released, causing the dust on the ground to disperse.

“Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, the second level, has finally been achieved!”

Lu Changsheng stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, which made a “pop and crackle” sound like frying beans.

Then he looked at his palms.

The skin was still white and delicate.

But beneath that smooth, mirror-like whiteness, there was an added sense of indestructible thickness.

“It’s still the breakthroughs in body refinement that bring the most fulfilling sensation!”

Lu Changsheng felt the tremendous power in his body, clenched his fists, and felt as if he could shatter anything with a single punch.

However, he knew this was only an illusion resulting from the recent breakthrough and the enhancement of his physical body.

The second level of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art only made one’s body comparable to a middle-grade magic artifact.

“Nurtured by the Black Dragon Magical Bead, my Treasure Bone Technique has also reached a minor accomplishment,”

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes for introspection.

He could see his bones, now clear as crystal.

There were tadpole-like runes on them, faintly visible, shining splendidly, like an exquisite creation of the heavens.

“But now the Treasure Bones are only at a minor accomplishment, at best, they can only briefly harness part of the Black Dragon Magical Bead’s power, comparable to a Talisman Treasure.”

“Moreover, once activated, it also deals significant damage to myself.”

“So, unless it’s absolutely necessary, it’s better not to use it and to continue nurturing it.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Treasure Bones in his chest and murmured to himself.

This Treasure Bone Technique was one of his trump cards.

Once nurtured to the extreme, it would be ‘a decade spent honing a single bone, which upon release, breaks stones and startles the heavens!’

After casting a Cleansing Technique to tidy up the practice room, Lu Changsheng left the room.

He went to the courtyard to accompany his wives and children.

During the time he spent with his wives and children, he had also prepared them in advance for venturing into the secular world.

In this regard, the little ones like Lu Ping’an were quite receptive.

One reason was that Lu Changsheng, upon realizing that most of his children lacked Spiritual Roots, subtly talked about this matter.

On the other hand, it was also thanks to the teachings and atmosphere of the Lu Family.

Three days later, while chatting with Lu Miaoyun, Lu Changsheng learned some news.

The conflict over the spirit mines between the Lu and Chen Families had subsided, thanks to the Lu Family’s firm stance and strong counteroffensive, which had deterred the Chen Family.

The matter was considered temporarily settled.

But Lu Changsheng remained firm in his speculation that what the Chen Family had done was merely a probe.

Such incidents were sure to recur.

“Given that, there’s no time to lose; while things have temporarily calmed down, there’s no need to postpone sending Ping’an and the others to the secular world any longer.”

“I’m going to send the first group of children to the secular world now; otherwise, who knows what might happen next!”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Changsheng decided to send the first group of children to the secular world right away.

Otherwise, he feared new troubles could arise.

“I should also inform Feiyu about this matter.”

Lu Changsheng thought.

After telling his wives, he went out to find Li Feiyu.

He had discussed matters concerning their departure with Li Feiyu previously.

Having Li Feiyu teach his children martial arts was also to foster closeness and familiarity between Li Feiyu and his children.

So when the children went to the secular world, Li Feiyu could be there to look after them.

Soon.

Lu Changsheng arrived at a plaza in Qingzhu Villa.

He saw Li Feiyu teaching Lu Ping’an and a few other youngsters, as well as his own seven children, some basic martial arts.

“Dad!”

“Daddy!”

“Uncle Lu!”

The group of kids called out when they saw Lu Changsheng approaching.

“I need to speak with your Uncle Li about something, you keep practicing, do well.”

Seeing a few children pause in their movements, Lu Changsheng immediately said.

Although he doted on his children, he wasn’t overindulgent.

Also, the martial arts that Li Feiyu was teaching them were basic and weren’t too strenuous.

It was more about building endurance and willpower.

He felt it was necessary.

“Changsheng, what brings you over this time?”

Li Feiyu smiled and asked Lu Changsheng.

“There’s something I want to discuss with you.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He sat down with Li Feiyu under a tree on the side and began, “I’ve decided to send Ping’an and the others to the secular world now.”

“So soon? Has something happened?”

Li Feiyu was surprised and immediately sensed that something must have happened.

Before this, Lu Changsheng had discussed the matter with him, but it was something that was expected to happen within the next year or two.

“You’re aware of that spirit stone mine issue with the Lu Family a while back, aren’t you?”

Lu Changsheng began.

“I’ve heard something about it, but I don’t know the details.”

“Did something happen?”

Li Feiyu shook his head.

He was truly out of the loop regarding family affairs in the Lu Family and had no source of information.
