Chapter 282: Heavenly-Level Demon Plant, the Mysterious Demon Flower!

Bihu Mountain.

The Lu family mansion, the meeting hall.

"Currently, there are 316 family members, including three foundation-building cultivators, four in the late Qi Refining stage, thirty-four in the middle Qi Refining stage, and sixteen in the early Qi Refining stage."

Lu Changsheng sat in the main seat, listening to his wife Lu Miaoyun's summary with a calm expression.

Unknowingly, his Lu family has exceeded 300 members.

And there are 316 family members, but there are 57 immortal cultivators!

This ratio is very amazing!

The reason why there are so many immortal cultivators in the middle Qi Refining stage is entirely because his 21 wives and concubines are all in this realm of cultivation.

As for children, 13 have broken through to the middle Qi Refining stage, and 16 are in the early Qi Refining stage.

"This year's income is a total of 31,143 coins, and the expenditure is 35,665 coins. The family salary accounts for 70% of the expenditure."

Lu Miaoyun continued to speak.

In the hall, everyone heard that there was another negative expenditure and loss, and their expressions were a little heavy.

After all, for more than four years, Bihu Mountain has been in a state of loss and has not turned losses into profits.

As for the reason for the loss, the main expenses were clear to everyone in the field.

Lu Changsheng himself did not feel much about it, and thought that it was good to be able to do so in four years. .

After all, in his opinion, the expenses for starting a family and having children were necessities, and in the long run, it was profitable anyway.

However, the expenses of the family did not include the expenses of the "Shenmu Array", "Canghai Array", training Taoist soldiers, etc.

Otherwise, the expenses would be even more exaggerated.

"The income has improved compared to last year, and we will strive to break even next year."

Lu Changsheng chuckled, knocked on the table and said, "Next, I will say two things."

"Our family has been in a semi-closed state for many years, and many industries are not convenient to manage."

"So, starting from this year, family members who are over 18 years old and break through the fourth level of Qi Refining can apply to go out to manage business and industry."

Lu Changsheng looked at his wives, concubines, and children and said aloud.

"Apply to go out to manage business and industry?"

Some Lu family members looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

Although no one mentioned the four-year mountain closure, some Lu family members still had complaints in their hearts.

After all, at this age, they are in their prime and full of yearning for the outside world, so they naturally want to go out and see more.

Not to mention traveling and training, growing up in Qingzhu Mountain and Bihu Mountain, there are a lot of rules and constraints at home, so it is boring and yearning for the outside world.

Moreover, many wives, concubines and children heard this and knew that this was another opportunity to show off.

"As for going out for training, you need to break through the sixth level of Qi Refining before you can apply."

Lu Changsheng continued.

Before, Lu Quanzhen proposed to go out for training, and he must be more than one person with such an idea.

So he also directly set the rules and set the cultivation level at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

For the current children in the family, this cultivation level is not high or low, and they are about 25 years old and have a certain amount of experience.

"Finally, it's about the head of the family."

Lu Changsheng looked at the children below and said aloud.

At present, the affairs of the family are divided into more detailed, each doing their own job, and the trivial matters are basically coordinated and handled by Lu Miaoyun.

Some major matters were decided by him and Ling Zixiao.

But now that the family has decided to open up the mountain gate, whether it is family trivia or business, dealing with other families, there needs to be one person, that is, the head of the Lu family.

"Head!?"

Hearing this, many concubines and children looked suspicious, looked at each other, and looked at Lu Pingan, Lu Quanzhen, and Lu Yun.

Although the Lu family does not pay too much attention to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.

But in the eyes of most concubines and children, there will still be this distinction.

After all, although Lu Changsheng treats all his children equally in terms of welfare benefits, he still has obvious preferences in daily life.

Like Lu Pingan, Lu Quanzhen, and Lu Yun are all born to the main wife, and are relatively older and favored by Lu Changsheng. Most people guess that the head of the family will choose from them.

"At present, Lu Yun will be the first head of our Lu family."

Lu Changsheng did not do any voting, and directly looked at his son Lu Yun and said.

The reason for choosing Lu Yun is that his sons Lu Pingan and Lu Quanzhen have no idea of ​​being the head of the family.

On the other hand, it is also in terms of ability.

Although Lu Yun lacks his own opinions and courage, he does not do badly under the guidance of Lu Miaoyun.

As the head of the family, with the help of his mother Lu Miaoyun in the early stage, at least there will be no problems.

Besides, this son is not without advantages.

At least he is diligent and obedient, and has set an example in marrying and having children.

Now he has a wife, three concubines, and three children.

Although he can't compare with his father.

But among these children with spiritual roots, it is already very good.

"Thank you, father, the child will live up to your high expectations and live up to everyone's expectations!"

Hearing this, Lu Yun took a deep breath, stood up and bowed with some joy and nervousness.

Although the head of a family of immortal cultivation is different from the head of a family in the secular world.

Being the head of a family is equivalent to half giving up the immortal path, and spending a lot of time on daily trivial matters, and basically no hope of building a foundation.

But the identity, status, and power of the head of the family are still unquestionable.

"Congratulations, Brother Yun!"

"Congratulations, Brother Yun!"

"Meet the Patriarch!"

Someone immediately congratulated Lu Yun.

"Well, do a good job."

"The position of Patriarch lasts for five years, and you can serve for a maximum of four terms."

"I will make judgments based on performance during the term. If you do well, you will be rewarded and continue to serve. If you do not do well, you will be replaced directly. Do you understand?"

Lu Changsheng said aloud.

He chose Lu Yun as the head of the family because, in addition to Lu Miaoyun, there were not many children to choose from in the family.

If Lu Yun is really not good enough and is not suitable, he will still replace him and choose from other children.

After all, in his eyes, there is really no distinction between concubine and concubine in this regard. Being the head of the family mainly depends on ability.

"Yes, father!"

Lu Yun took a deep breath and nodded in response.

He had known these things in advance from his mother, Lu Miaoyun, and was mentally prepared.

"This family meeting ends here. If you have anything else, you can come to me directly."

Lu Changsheng looked at his wife, concubines and children and said loudly.

"Yes, husband, father!"

Everyone in the hall stood up and responded respectfully.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng left the hall with his wives.

As the family meeting ended, Bihu Mountain was bustling with activity.

Lu Changsheng also spent this time with his wife, concubines and children, discussing arrangements for the family's children to go abroad.

After all, when children go abroad, they give priority to cities like Hongyegufang City and Jiulongfang City, which are close to Bihu Mountain.

In addition, he also asked Honglian to refine identity tokens for his family.

All the children of the Lu family can use the jade tablets to sense each other's location, send messages to each other, ask for help, verify their identity, etc.

Moreover, during these times, he also spent more time on warming up the third-level treasure talisman prepared for his children.

"Sir, what do you think of this style?"

On this day, 'Xu Ruyin' handed the refined identity token to Lu Changsheng.

The token is roughly three fingers wide and looks like it is made of gold and jade, with green embellishments on the edges.

One side is painted with a pattern of mountains and seas, and the other side is the word "land", which is gorgeous but a bit simple.

This token can sense each other's presence within a hundred miles and carry out simple communication within a thousand miles.

If Lu Changsheng wanted to, he could use the Red Lotus Sect's infinite tracking technique to find the location of the token.

"Yes, you can mark each token and make a simple distinction."

After Lu Changsheng looked at it for a few times, he asked Honglian to put a simple mark on the side of the word 'Lu', and then he settled on this.

There are a total of thirteen children in the family who are eligible to apply for migration.

But there are currently only six people applying to go out, so he is not in a hurry to refine the tokens.

According to the speed of Honglian refining one in three to five days, it is enough.

After roughly arranging the family affairs, Lu Changsheng remembered that the Baiyu Tower auction was almost over.

Immediately I went out for a trip and came to Baiyu Tower in Kowloon City.

"Master Ye, please come inside."

"The four maids you previously auctioned in our White Jade Building, except for No. 66, failed in the auction, No. 69, No. 77, and No. 98 were all successful bidders."

"I don't know if Mr. Ye is sure."

When the manager of Baiyulou saw Lu Changsheng, he immediately said enthusiastically.

In Jiulongfang City, someone who can spend nearly 50,000 spirit stones to buy a maid is definitely a big customer, so he is very enthusiastic.

"Did No. 66 fail?"

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he raised his brows but didn't pay much attention.

The balance of the remaining three maids was soon paid.

Since these three maids also had to be transported from Baiyulou from other places, they had to wait for more than a month.

In this regard, Lu Changsheng said goodbye and left after confirming the matter, saying that he would come to pick him up when the time came and there was no need to send him home.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

"This is a life-saving talisman made for my father. You will apply a drop of eyebrow blood and essence blood on it."

"If you encounter a life or death crisis, you can activate the talisman to escape."

"About this talisman, it must not be disclosed to the outside world, you know!"

Lu Changsheng looked at the famous son and daughter in front of him with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.

His talisman is called the 'Stand-in Talisman', and it is ranked third-level low-grade.

The effect is somewhat similar to his life-altering talisman. It can be connected with the body and soul through blood and essence. When encountering danger, it can form a stand-in puppet to block the disaster, and then move thousands of miles away.

It's just that the effect is far inferior to that of the life-replacing talisman, and it can only withstand a single blow from the core.

And unlike the life-altering talisman, it can block the life of evil spirits and guard against some difficult means.

But for these children, it is enough.

They all go to Fangshi to take care of business. Unless they encounter some powerful calamity cultivator, there is a high probability that they will not need these talismans.

"Yes, father!"

This was the first time they saw their father look so majestic.

Knowing that the stakes were high and not daring to be rude, they all made oaths to their inner demons.

Then they looked at the talismans in their hands that were like purple dragon scales and outlined with mysterious tadpole characters, and everyone looked happy.

After all, they all know that their father is a top talisman master with great reputation, so it is definitely not easy to use such a life-saving talisman.

Seeing his children using the 'substitute talismans' one by one, Lu Changsheng said a few words and left.

Dawn breaks in the east, and the morning light dims.

On the top of Biyun Peak, Bihu Mountain is at the highest point, and an ancient tree dozens of feet high, covered with gold and jade, and flowing with crystal brilliance stands tall.

This place is a forbidden area in Bihu Mountain, where the ancestor Nujun practices, and you can easily overlook the entire scenery of Bihu Mountain.

At this moment, above the ancient tree, a man and a woman were doing something shameful and beautiful.

Lu Changsheng asked Xu Ruyin to hold on to the branch, while he supported her flexibly and strongly from behind.

"Hmm~"

Xu Ruyin was dressed in a red gauze dress, with two well-proportioned legs like jade pillars. She was forced to stand on tiptoes and raise her heels from time to time, causing the green and white jade toes to turn red.

"Miss Xu, do you like this?" Lu Changsheng teased.

After spending so much time together, he naturally couldn't hold back and picked the fruit of Xu Ruyin.

Perhaps due to his daily training or Ling Zixiao's brainwashing, Xu Ruyin gradually accepted her fate and took the initiative to sacrifice herself during a drunken flirtation between him and Ling Zixiao.

Faced with this situation, Lu Changsheng naturally would not pretend to be a gentleman.

In the days that followed, Xu Ruyin was like Ling Zixiao's maid, helping out and making Lu Changsheng happy and at ease.

On weekdays, Lu Changsheng could also get Xu Ruyin to cooperate with some of the things that Lu Changsheng couldn't do with his wife.

"Wow, oh, hi. I like it."

Xu Ruyin was forced to hold the branch of Sumeru, her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, her fiery red hair was messy and dancing, and she made a hesitant sound from her mouth.

From this height, the two of them could still see the fishermen in Bishui Lake and some casual cultivators practicing on the island in the middle of the lake.

"Tell me, will they see us? Or think about what we are doing here?"

Lu Changsheng looked at the vast blue water lake, his palms roamed over the smooth skin, and he spoke softly.

Although Xu Ruyin knew that there was an 'Inverted Five Elements Formation' that could never be seen from below, but as she opened and closed her beautiful eyes and looked at the scenery below, she still felt tense all over, and there was an indescribable excitement in her heart.

Finally, under the clear voice, Xu Ruyin screamed and moaned, with a hint of crying, her whole body went limp, and her hands hung down weakly.

When Lu Changsheng saw this, he thought that Xu Ruyin had managed to refine her Qi to the ninth level, but her body was still a little weak.

After slapping her jade buttocks, he hugged her delicate body and changed his position to continue.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully introducing the thirty descendants into the body, entering the path of immortality, and obtaining the bloodline effect: the probability of the descendants' spiritual roots is increased by 5%, and they will receive a lottery chance! 】

"Huh? Are you thirty?"

Lu Changsheng paused slightly when he heard the system prompt.

He had made this guess without prompting him for the past twenty-five hours.

Lu Changsheng was also in a good mood when he heard that the system was taking money from his family members. He held Miaoman's waist and drove straight into Huanglong to vent his happiness.

The beauty's jade body trembled, trembled, her helmet and armor were discarded, she was in a miserable state, and the sweet spring was surging.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Lu Changsheng put Xu Ruyin back to rest and went to the Talisman Room to start the lottery.

‘System, draw! ’

Lu Changsheng thought silently in his heart.

Suddenly, the light red golden light of the large carousel appeared, and it began to spin and draw prizes, and then stayed in the 'Pets' column.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting the spiritual pet: the Hell Demon Flower! 】

[The reward has been distributed to the system space, and the host can view it at any time]

A flower pattern, completely black and filled with blood, emerged from the large turntable, accompanied by a system prompt.

"The hell demon flower, the demon plant?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up when he saw this reward.

Although he has no idea about pets, spiritual plant pets are definitely an exception.

After all, through King Xumi Tree, he knew that this kind of demonic plant could also be used to practice the 'Heaven and Earth Immortality Method'.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng looked towards the system space.

[Monster: Hell Demon Flower]

[Grade: Heaven Grade High Grade]

[Explanation: The fifth-level demon soul in the land of the netherworld was transformed, watered with the blood of countless creatures, and thus born. It feeds on flesh and blood souls, has a prison in its belly, and imprisons creatures. It currently has second-level strength]

"Hiss, top-grade heaven-level!? Possessing second-level strength!?"

Lu Changsheng looked at the grades and descriptions of the Hell Demon Flower in front of him, and his face was filled with joy.

Regardless of its rank or strength, he felt that this Hell Demon Flower was very good.

If I really have a problem, it seems a bit evil.

"It is born with the help of watering the blood of living creatures, and feeding on the flesh and soul."

"Does this mean that this demonic flower doesn't need much spiritual energy and spiritual energy, as long as it has enough flesh and blood?"

"If this is the case, planting this hell demon flower will not put too much pressure on the current situation in Bihu Mountain."

"I wonder if this demonic flower can be used to practice the 'Heaven and Earth Immortality Technique'."

Lu Changsheng murmured to himself when he saw the demonic plant in the system space.

He planned to give this demonic plant to Lu Miaohuan, or Qu Zhenzhen to practice the immortality method of heaven and earth.

Through Lu Miaoyun's practice of the Heaven and Earth Immortality Method, he knew that after refining the 'Heaven and Earth Spiritual Plant' into the natal spiritual root, there would not be any other major problems except that it would affect the growth of the spiritual plant to a certain extent.

As a demon plant of heaven-level bloodline, the Hell Demon Flower must meet the requirements for practicing the ‘Heaven and Earth Immortality Method’.

If it is used to practice the immortality method of heaven and earth, the effect may be much better than that of the Lingming Treasure Tree.

"But this hell demon flower should be more suitable for Huanhuan?"

Lu Changsheng touched his chin.

This hell demon flower looks a bit like a demon, both in appearance and description.

According to Qu Zhenzhen's character, he would be frightened just by looking at him, so he wouldn't dare to feed her with flesh and blood.

Although Lu Miaohuan may not necessarily like her, she is obviously much better than Qu Zhenzhen, so she shouldn't mind this aspect too much.

"If Xumi is allowed to spawn another accompanying spiritual plant, then both Huanhuan and Zhenzhen's spiritual plants will be solved."

Lu Changchang took a breath.

I plan to choose a time to plant this hell demon flower and let Lu Miaohuan and Qu Zhenzhen take a look.

Half a month later, Lu Changsheng came to Jiulongfang City.

After almost three months, his three maids had already been delivered.

Lu Changsheng looked at the three maids in front of him.

They were similar to Shao Yuyao, Xiao Yueru and others at the time. All three of them had good looks and figures, but their eyes were dull and full of numbness.

The only difference was that two of the three women had fifth-grade spiritual roots, and one had sixth-grade spiritual roots.

"Five-grade spiritual roots!"

Lu Changsheng was quite emotional.

I still remember that when I first came to Baiyu Tower, I could only afford a maid with ninth-grade spiritual roots.

At that time, middle-grade spiritual roots were simply unattainable for me.

But after years of hard work, women with middle-grade spiritual roots were just a similar expense for me.

There were even female cultivators with middle-grade spiritual roots who took the initiative to pay for it.

"Wealth, friends, and land, no wonder wealth is the first, tut tut tut, money can make the devil work."

After a slight sigh, Lu Changsheng said that there was no problem and took the three people back to Bihu Mountain.

During this period, this manager Xia also upgraded Lu Changsheng's membership.

It means that with a higher membership level, the number of maids will be seen in future auctions, and the quality will also be improved.

This surprised Lu Changsheng, who did not expect that the auction was also divided into levels.

Immediately, he asked this manager Xia what prices the previous top-grade spiritual roots were sold for.

The other party did not hide it, saying that No. 1 was sold for 150,000 and No. 2 was sold for 160,000 spiritual stones, which made Lu Changsheng stunned.

It feels that there are still more rich people than he imagined, but with this financial resources, it is definitely not a foundation-building cultivator, but a Jindan Zhenren!
