Chapter 282: Heaven-level demon plant, hell demon flower!

Bihu Mountain.

Lu family mansion, meeting hall.

"There are currently 316 family members, including three foundation-building monks, four in the late stage of Qi refining, 34 in the middle stage of Qi refining, and 16 in the early stage of Qi refining."

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

Unknowingly, the number of members of his Lu family exceeded 300.

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

This ratio is astonishing!

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

In terms of children, currently thirteen people have broken through to the middle stage of Qi refining, and sixteen are in the early stage of Qi refining.

"This year, the total income is 31,143 yuan, and the expenditure is 35,665 yuan. In terms of expenditure, the family salary accounts for 70%."

Lu Miaoyun continued to speak.

In the hall, everyone looked a little heavy when they heard that there was another negative expenditure and loss.

After all, Bihushan has been at a loss for more than four years and has not turned a profit.

The reason for the loss, mainly expenses, is clear to everyone in the field.

Lu Changsheng himself didn't feel much about this, and thought that four years was not bad for him. .

After all, in his opinion, the expenses for starting a family and raising a family are necessities, and in the long run, they are profitable no matter what.

However, in terms of the family's expenditures, the costs of the 'Sacred Tree Formation', 'Canghai Formation', training Taoist soldiers, etc. were not included.

Otherwise, this expenditure will be even more exaggerated.

"In terms of income, there has been improvement compared to last year, and we will strive to achieve a flat profit and loss next year."

Lu Changsheng chuckled, knocked on the table and said, "Next, let me tell you two things."

"Our family has been in a semi-closed state for many years, and many properties are inconvenient to take care of and manage."

"So, starting from this year, the children of the family who reach the age of eighteen and have broken through the fourth level of Qi Refining can apply to go out to manage business and property."

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

"Applying to go out to manage business and property?"

Some of the Lu family disciples looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

Although no one mentioned the mountain closure for the past four years, some Lu family disciples still complained about it.

After all, at this age, in the prime of life, full of yearning for the outside world, it is natural to want to go out and see more.

Not to mention travel and experience, I grew up in Qingzhu Mountain and Bihu Mountain. There were a lot of rules and regulations at home, so I would get bored and yearn for the outside world.

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

"As for going out to practice, you need to have a cultivation level that breaks through the sixth level of Qi Refining before you can apply."

Lu Changsheng continued.

Lu Quanzhen had previously mentioned that he wanted to go out for training, and he was certainly not the only one who had such an idea.

So he directly set the rules and set his cultivation level at the sixth level of Qi refining.

As for the current children in the family, their cultivation level is neither high nor low. They are about twenty-five years old and have some experience.

"The last thing is about the head of the family."

Lu Changsheng looked at his children below and said aloud.

At present, the affairs of the family are divided in a relatively detailed manner, and everyone performs their own duties. The trivial matters are basically coordinated and handled by Lu Miaoyun.

He and Ling Zixiao decided on some major matters.

But now that the family has decided to let go of the mountain gate, no matter whether it is family matters or business, when dealing with other families, there needs to be one person, that is, the head of the Lu family.

"Master!?"

Hearing this, many of the concubines looked surprised and looked at each other, Lu Ping'an, Lu Quanzhen, and Lu Yun.

Although the Lu family does not pay too much attention to the distinction between direct concubine and concubine.

But in the eyes of most concubines and children, there is still 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.

Lu Ping'an, Lu Quanzhen, and Lu Yun were all born to the first wife, and they were relatively older and favored by Lu Changsheng. Most people guessed that the head of the family would choose from them.

"Currently, Lu Yun is the first head of our Lu family."

Lu Changsheng didn't do any voting, he looked directly at his son Lu Yun and said.

The choice of Lu Yun was due to his son Lu Ping'an and Lu Quanzhen, who had no idea of ​​being the head of the family.

On the other hand, it is also about ability.

Although Lu Yun lacks initiative and courage, under Lu Miaoyun's guidance, he is not bad at what he does.

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

Besides, this son is not without his merits.

At least he was diligent and obedient and set an example in marrying a wife and having children.

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

Although there is no comparison with him as a father.

But among these children with spiritual roots, they are already pretty good.

"Thank you very much, father. I will definitely live up to my father's high expectations and live up to everyone's expectations!"

When Lu Yun heard this, he took a deep breath, stood up with some joy and nervousness and held his hands in his hands.

Although the head of a cultivating family is different from the head of a secular family.

Being the head of a family is equivalent to giving up on the path to immortality. You have to spend a lot of time on daily chores, and there is basically no hope of building a foundation.

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

"Congratulations, Brother Yun!"

"Congratulations, Brother Yun!"

"I've met the head of the family!"

Someone immediately congratulated Lu Yun.

"Well, behave well."

"The position of head of the family is held once every five years, with 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. In addition to Lu Miaoyun, there were also 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 such as 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 about 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 about refining 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 auction of Baiyu Tower was almost done.

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, which 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 'Substitute 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 in danger, it can form a substitute puppet to block the disaster, and then move thousands of miles away.

It's just that the effect is far less than that of a life-replacing talisman, and it can only withstand a blow from forming a pill.

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 scornful, 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 hermitage. 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 Xu Ruyin's fruit.

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, wow, 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 center 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, looking 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 lucky draw opportunity! 】

"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 had taken money from others. 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 rotate for lottery, and then stayed in the 'Pet' 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 great demon soul in 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.

"The birth is watered with the blood of living creatures and fed 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.

Almost three months later, his three maids had already arrived.

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

Similar to Shao Yuyao, Xiao Yueru and others back then, all three of them had good looks and good bodies, but their eyes were dull and full of numbness.

The only difference is that two of the three women have fifth-grade spiritual roots, and one has a sixth-grade spiritual root.

"Fifth grade spiritual root"

Lu Changsheng was quite emotional.

She still remembers that when she first came to Baiyu Tower, she could only afford a ninth-grade spiritual root maid.

At that time, middle-grade spiritual roots were simply out of reach for me.

But after years of hard work, a woman with a middle-grade spiritual root is just a similar expense to me.

There are even female cultivators with middle-grade spiritual roots who come to offer help.

"Wealth lovers are in the right place. No wonder wealth comes first. Tsk, tsk, tsk, money can make ghosts go around."

After Lu Changsheng sighed slightly, he said there was no problem and took the three people back to Bihu Mountain.

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

It means that the membership level is high, and the number and quality of maids will be improved in future auctions.

This surprised Lu Changsheng. He didn't expect that the auction would also be divided into levels.

Immediately, he asked Manager Xia what the previous prices of several high-grade spiritual roots were.

The other party did not hide anything, saying that the price of the first auction was 150,000, and the price of the second auction was 160,000 spirit stones, which made Lu Changsheng speechless.

I feel that there are still more rich people than I imagined, but with this kind of financial resources, it is definitely not a foundation-building monk, but a real person who builds the core!
