Chapter 486 Departure

The battles in the Qi training period were really unremarkable to Lu Ya. It was more like a fight between children than a fight between cultivators.

For cultivators at the third level of Qi training, after banning external objects such as magic tools and talismans, their remaining means were to use magic power to amplify themselves, strengthen defense, and then close combat.

However, there were many small spells such as fire and water control, which could highlight some combat talents.

By the evening, the first family competition of the Lu family had already been decided.

Lu Xiao, the son of the seventh uncle Lu Rui, defeated Lu Xi with the cultivation of the fourth level of Qi training and won the first place.

On the stage, Lu Xiao held the brocade box, his face looked a little ruddy because of excitement.

He raised his head and looked at Lu Ya who was standing in front of him, and asked excitedly: "Second brother, can we just refine this directly?"

Lu Ya nodded, pointed to the brocade box in Lu Xiao's hand, and explained: "The Soul Swallowing Gu has a gentle temperament. You only need to drip blood to recognize the master, and then refine it with magic power, and you can use it for yourself."

"Thank you, second brother." Lu Xiao was relieved and thanked excitedly.

"After getting the Soul Swallowing Gu, you must practice more seriously." Lu Ya looked at the vigorous young man in front of him, and his eyes seemed to have returned to a long time ago.

Retracting his gaze, Lu Ya looked at the still enthusiastic Lu clan members around him, and suddenly realized that the originally insignificant family with only more than a hundred cultivators and mortals combined had grown to the point where there were more than a hundred cultivators alone.

Lu Dingbo announced loudly: "The family competition has been completed, the banquet has been prepared, and everyone in my Lu family will not go home until they are drunk tonight!"

"Good!" Lu Dingbo's announcement immediately attracted a lot of cheers.

Lu Dingbo was determined to make the family competition a tradition of the Lu family from now on. What could be more memorable than the feast of fish and meat after a competition?

And since it was to be a tradition, the banquet would naturally be good.

The fruits were spiritual fruits, the vegetables were spiritual plants, the meat was monster meat, and the wine was spiritual wine brewed from spiritual rice. In particular, in the open space in the center of the banquet, a blazing bonfire was burning, and on it was a whole cow that was being licked by the bonfire until it was sizzling with oil.

The cow was a peak demon general that Lu Dingbo specifically ordered Mo Du to catch. Not only was the meat tender, but the spiritual energy content was mild, and even ordinary people could eat a few bites.

At the banquet, Lu Dingbo announced loudly that from now on, the Lu family would hold a competition every three years. Starting from this generation, everyone could participate in the future, and the winner would be rewarded generously.

With the cheers of the crowd, the Lu family competition was decided. It seemed that with the beginning of this Soul Swallowing Gu, when Lu Xiao's cultivation level was far ahead of others, he would no longer have to worry about the family competition.

The dinner lasted until late at night, and the Lu family members who had not seen each other for a long time returned to their homes.

Lu Ya quietly left the scene at the end of the dinner, and sent a message to Lu Jing at the same time.

Lu Jing was slightly startled, and then left the table with a smile on her face.

On the first peak, outside Lu Ya's cave, a red dress was welcomed tonight.

Lu Jing, wearing a red Taoist robe, quietly sat down opposite Lu Ya, and looked at Lu Ya who was leisurely brewing tea with a flawless white face.

"Second brother, why did you call me?"

Lu Ya looked up at the cold-faced Kun in front of him, a little helpless, "Fifth sister, don't you think you should smile more? Why do you feel that the older you get, the colder you become."

Lu Jing was startled, and then a trace of shame and anger emerged in her eyes.

"What do you mean by getting older? How come I am older!"

Lu Ya looked at Lu Jing who was a little embarrassed and angry, and laughed: "That's right, my fifth sister is not old."

Lu Jing bit her lip and glared at Lu Ya who was laughing happily with her black and white eyes.

"Second brother, what did you call me for?"

Lu Ya pushed a cup of spiritual tea in front of Lu Jing, and Lu Jing did not hesitate to drink it directly, with a normal expression.

"You just drank the good spiritual tea just brewed!"

Lu Ya looked at Lu Jing, frowned and asked: "Isn't it hot?"

Lu Jing blushed, but still shook her head stubbornly.

"Okay."

Lu Ya stopped teasing this cold-faced sister, slowly tasted a mouthful of spiritual tea, put down the teacup and said: "I see that you seem to have reached the state of perfect foundation building. Have you considered when to form a pill?"

Lu Jing looked at Lu Ya who looked normal, and was moved.

Although her second brother sometimes likes to tease her, he is absolutely reliable when it comes to serious matters.

"I can't hide it from my second brother. I have completed my foundation building a year ago. This time I come back, I also plan to apply for a diamond pill from the clan to form a pill."

"Have you read the key points of forming a pill?"

"I have read it many times."

Lu Jing replied.

The key points of forming a pill are various experiences about forming a pill written by Lu Ya based on his own experience of forming a pill. They are placed in the family's scripture pavilion for reference when needed.

Lu Ya nodded slightly and said, "It's just right that you are back. I haven't seen you for a long time. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can talk to my second brother tonight."

"Thank you, second brother." Lu Jing thanked him seriously, and then began to ask questions slowly.

Lu Ya was not in a hurry. He went through each of Lu Jing's questions in his mind before giving an answer.

Time passed between the two people's questions and answers until the next morning.

The spiritual tea in front of Lu Ya was still steaming hot, while Lu Jing had already closed his eyes and meditated, entering a state of spiritual practice.

After drinking the spirit tea, Lu Ya waved his hand to create a magic barrier, protecting Lu Jing within it.

Then Lu Ya came to Lu Dingbo's cave.

Lu Dingbo was practicing at this time. Lu Ya waited for a while before the door of Lu Dingbo's cave opened.

"Lu Ya, you must have been waiting for a long time."

Lu Dingbo said as he asked Lu Ya to sit down.

"It didn't take long." Lu Ya said casually.

Then he looked at Lu Dingbo and asked: "Grandpa, what I told you last time was to select tribesmen of the right age to learn formations from the formation master. I wonder if the candidate has been decided yet?"

Lu Dingbo nodded and replied: "It has been decided long ago. We are all in the clan at this time, waiting for you to decide when to set off."

"Okay, I'll take them out in the next two days."

Lu Ya nodded slightly. He had not forgotten the agreement he made with Wu Daoran. He took this opportunity to bring Lu Jing with him so that he could check for her mistakes on the way and make her more confident about forming the pill.

"Okay, I have already prepared the gifts for the visit. When the time comes, I will ask Lu Yang to join you, and I will leave all the trivial matters on the road to him. If anyone in our Lu family really has the talent for formations, I will also prepare the apprenticeship ceremony. That’s fine, you have to keep this yourself, and then thank Senior Wu for our Lu family.”

Lu Dingbo spoke to Lu Ya in a coherent manner, and then pushed several wrapped brocade boxes in front of Lu Ya.

"There are a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones in here, a fourth-level formation foundation stone, and some other items. I think it should be enough for an apprenticeship ceremony."

Lu Ya nodded, these things were indeed enough, and then waved his hand to put the things into the storage ring.

"Then it's decided. Grandpa, after you make the arrangements, let me know and I will take them to set off."

"No problem, then set it in three days and you can set off."

Lu Dingbo waved his hand, showing off his patriarchal style.

Three days later, at the top of the first peak, a medium-sized flying boat docked outside Luya Cave Mansion.

In front of the flying boat, Lu Hao, who was as tall and burly as an iron tower, had his arms folded across his chest. Behind him were three men and two women, a total of five more than ten-year-old Lu clan members. Among them were Lu Xi, Lu Jian, and Lu's "Xing" "The three little guys of this generation are Lu Xingwei, Lu Xingtong and Lu Xingzhun.

Of course, these three children of the Xing generation are actually the bloodline of the Lu family's general lineage.

Since the Lu family moved to Songhai, as the Lu family developed faster and faster, the name of the Lu family was reused by Lu Dingbo.

All children born after the yang generation, whether they are in the direct line of the Lu family or the war general line, are all named according to the yang generation.

At present, after the Yang character generation, it is "Xing Chuan Ji Guang, Zhao Xian Qing Fan".

Several little guys stood behind Lu Hao and waited.

Not long after, I saw a man in red flying from the direction of the third peak, and landed on the top of the first peak very quickly.

After Lu Jing landed, she looked at Lu Hao: "Third brother!"

Lu Hao laughed, strode forward, and said in a thunderous voice: "It's been a long time since I last saw my fifth sister. Her cultivation has improved again. It seems that she is not far away from forming a pill."

A smile appeared on Lu Jing's face, "It's been a while since foundation building was completed. During this time, I've been following my second brother behind me to polish my mana, and I'm almost ready to try forming pills."

"Okay!" Lu Hao clapped his hands, "In this way, the second golden elixir monk of our Lu family will be born."

"How can you be so sure? Forming a pill is child's play."

Lu Jing shook her head.

Lu Hao was full of confidence in Lu Jing: "What's the matter? Fifth sister, you are extremely talented and you are an authentic foundation builder. Forming pills will not be a big problem for you."

Lu Jing was about to say something when she saw Lu Ya and Lu Dingbo walking out of the cave and walking towards them.

When he came closer, Lu Dingbo looked at Lu Hao with a hint of warning in his eyes, "Third brother, you will take care of me during this visit. Do you hear me? If anything goes wrong, I will break your legs when you come back."

Lu Hao shrank his neck and muttered in a low voice: "Second brother and fifth sister are here, why do you have to take charge of me?"

Lu Dingbo's eyes widened: "Lu Ya is already a Nascent Soul monk, and Xiao Wu has completed the foundation building and is concentrating on polishing his magic power and preparing to form pills. Do you want a Yuanying monk to take care of you, or do you want a monk who is ready to form pills?" Do these chores?

Or do you expect the underage children behind you to do it? "

Lu Hao looked at Lu Ya, then at Lu Jing, then touched the back of his head, but ultimately did not choose to reply.

Lu Dingbo withdrew his gaze and warned: "We are going to the Southern Territory. The distance is not close. With Lu Ya here, there is no need to worry about the safety on the road. But as the elder, you must take good care of the juniors. Do you understand?"

"I know, Grandpa." Lu Hao replied seriously.

"In addition, when we go to the Southern Territory, Lu Ya said that he will pass through Wulianghaiya, visit the seniors of Wulianghaiya, and take a look at Little Thirteen by the way." Lu Dingbo's eyes were full of nostalgia, "Little Thirteen has been there for so many years. Just come back twice, remember to bring her something delicious, this little girl is a glutton."

"Hehe, don't worry, grandpa, I will prepare all of this." Lu Hao promised, patting his chest with his big hands and making a dull sound like a drum.

"It's best that you're ready." Lu Dingbo said, then turned to look at Lu Ya, "You have to keep an eye on them along the way. Don't let them make mistakes, even if they can't get into the formation. A long journey can be regarded as a long journey.”

"Grandpa, don't worry, there will be no problem with me here." Lu Ya said with a smile.

"Well, I'm not worried about that," Lu Dingbo said, then turned to Lu Jing and said, "Xiaowu, you've worked hard these years. Don't rush into it. You're still young. At most, you can polish your magic power for two more years. It's no problem."

Lu Jing nodded obediently, "Grandpa, don't worry. With my second and third brothers here, I won't have any problems."

"Well," Lu Dingbo nodded with satisfaction, then flipped his palm, and three jade bottles appeared in his palm. He handed them to Lu Jing.

"These are three Vajra Pills. If you feel that the opportunity to form a pill has arrived, talk to your second brother first to make sure that the time is right and you are in a safe environment before forming a pill. Don't save these Vajra Pills. Now our Lu family can still afford Vajra Pills."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Lu Jing did not refuse and took the Vajra Pills with both hands.

Lu Dingbo had explained everything he needed to, and at the end he looked at Lu Ya and reminded him again: "Lu Ya, you are the oldest and have the highest cultivation level on this trip, so you have to keep an eye on them."

"Oh, Grandpa, don't worry. We are not young anymore. We are all foundation-building cultivators. How can we make any big mistakes!"

Lu Hao said jokingly, then looked at the sky again and pretended to be surprised: "Look at the sky, it's getting late. Let's set off in time and come back early."

"Okay, okay, you think I'm too nagging, right? Go ahead, little guys, remember to take care of yourself on the way. If you have any problems, tell your third brother/uncle, do you hear me?"

Several little guys replied in unison: "I heard you."

Their eyes were bright, and they were obviously impatient.

"Let's go."

Seeing this, Lu Dingbo waved his hand and urged.

"Okay, little guys, hurry up and get on board."

Lu Hao received the order and turned around to greet them.

Several little guys immediately entered the flying boat through the hatch, and then Lu Ya and others said goodbye to Lu Dingbo again before entering the flying boat one by one.

This medium-sized flying boat is about ten feet long and fifteen feet wide. It is extremely spacious when it only carries eight people.

Apart from anything else, everyone has a separate room, which is not something that ordinary flying boats can do.

Under Lu Dingbo's gaze, the flying boat slowly took off, and after flying out of the range of the clan protection formation, it suddenly accelerated and headed south.

Lu Dingbo stood on the top of the peak, stopped for a long time, and then sighed: "I hope everything goes well on this trip. It is not so important whether you can become a formation master, just return safely." (End of this chapter)
