Chapter 1567: Chapter 532: Sword Gate Pass, Phoenix True Feather!
“Ping’an.”
He called out to his son.
“Dad!”
Lu Ping’an was startled, completely unaware that his father was nearby.
Such divine skills, simply astounding, unbelievable!
But seeing his father appear, he also realized his previous guess was correct.
“What’s going on, did Xiao Qin dump you, or have you fallen lovesick?”
Lu Changsheng said.
“Dad, I’m fine.”
Lu Ping’an quickly said.
“If I couldn’t see through such trivial thoughts, I wouldn’t need to be your father, would I?”
Lu Changsheng said, rather disdainfully.
Then he raised an eyebrow and continued, “Come on, what’s going on?”
“Uh…”
Lu Ping’an scratched his head, but still disclosed the situation truthfully.
“If you’re so unwilling and worried, why not just stop her directly, instead of being so troubled?”
Lu Changsheng was a bit speechless upon hearing this.
“Sword Dao naturally focuses on resolute disposition, this could easily affect her state of mind.”
Lu Ping’an said softly.
“….”
Lu Changsheng was even more speechless.
If others knew that his son Lu Changsheng was so pure-hearted, it would be a real embarrassment!
Back in the day, wasn’t Xiao Xiyue’s Supreme Forgetfulness equally determined?
But now the child is holding one end.
“It’s not that your father won’t teach you… forget it, you’re beyond teaching, if you’re reluctant, worried, and distressed, then just go to the Heavenly Sword Sect again.”
“If you trust Xiao Qin, then wait for her message; it’s just a Sword Gate Pass, not some deadly place, merely a risky one.”
Lu Changsheng said irritably.
“Yes, Dad.”
Lu Ping’an took a deep breath, clearing away distracting thoughts.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t be bothered to say more and let out a little Ho to comfort Lu Ping’an.
“Big pot!”
Lu Linghe’s eyes widened in surprise and joy upon seeing Lu Ping’an, thinking she had returned home.
Lu Ping’an almost didn’t recognize his sister in disguise and camouflage.
Surprised that their father brought out their sister Lu Linghe.
“Big pot…”
Lu Linghe didn’t have the eyesight to perceive the slight melancholy on Lu Ping’an’s brow.
She happily expressed how much she missed him, then recounted her days in Jiuxiao Immortal City with their father.
As she spoke, she took out a cloak from her storage bag, saying it suited Lu Ping’an and was a gift she had prepared for him.
Facing this innocent and lovely sister, Lu Ping’an’s melancholy quickly dissipated.
Yet Lu Changsheng, respecting the fishing, didn’t linger long in conversation.
The Fate-Defying Robe concealed his form, and he left with his daughter, hiding in the shadows.
Just like that, time passed bit by bit.
Lu Changsheng occasionally took his wife and daughter out for air, wandering around, but never caught any fish.
Along the way, apart from a few rogue cultists attacking Lu Ping’an, he didn’t see any significant figures.
“Damn it, why aren’t the Xu Family and Shangguan Family making any moves?”
Lu Changsheng’s target on this journey was indeed the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family and the Elder Ancestor of the Shangguan Family.
But as time went on, neither family made any movement, making him feel like this was all in vain.
Because of this, with some reluctance, he extended his divine sense to investigate the situation.
When they first left Jiuxiao Immortal City, people were tracking and observing Lu Ping’an.
But now those people were entirely absent.
At this moment.
The Beast Taming Xu Family.
“According to the intelligence, Lu Ping’an’s current journey is to the Heavenly Sword Sect to meet a disciple named Qin Yi from the Heavenly Sword Sect…”
“How could Lu Ping’an be involved with a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect?”
“That’s unclear.”
“Anyway, I find that this whole trip of Lu Ping’an’s is too deliberate.”
“To ambush and kill Lu Ping’an, we’d have to have the ancestor take action, but it wouldn’t be worth the risk.”
“True, and since Qingyun Sect sent True Man Bai Shuang to Bi Lake Mountain, their intention is obvious. If something happens to Lu Ping’an now, Qingyun Sect would easily pin the blame on our family, which is not worthwhile at all.”
The Xu Family kept a close watch on Lu Ping’an, but more to know his purpose than to attempt an ambush.
Partly, the bait seemed too obvious.
And also, Lu Ping’an’s capabilities were astonishing.
For them to act against Lu Ping’an securely, they would have to call upon the Core Formation elder ancestors.
But then again, they, as a Core Formation Noble Family, with profound foundations and numerous clan-protecting Holy Beasts, could develop steadily without risking themselves against a newly-risen family like Bi Lake Mountain.
Indeed, the rise of Bi Lake Mountain was fierce.
But it was not yet worth it for their ancestors to disregard face and directly intervene!
Should there be deceit, a little mishap, tragedy, the foundation of their family would be shaken!
Compared to the Beast Taming Xu Family, the Shangguan Family had even less thought about it.
The matter of the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, while significant, wasn’t overly so.
From the family-level confrontations, backing other forces to suppress Bi Lake Mountain was acceptable.
But the ancestor stepping out directly was evidently unbecoming.
Disregarding the risk.
If word spread, it would directly affect the Shangguan Family’s reputation and standing.
Thus, they were at best waiting for an opportunity, a day when Lu Ping’an was seriously injured, or Bi Lake Mountain encountered some situation, then they might pounce and take a bite.
…
[Congratulations to the host on having two hundred offspring; you have received one Advanced Lottery prize]
That day, a bored Lu Changsheng heard a system prompt in his mind.
He realized that three of his children were born during his absence.
However, these three children were conceived before he acquired the Chaos Body, having ordinary Spiritual Roots and wouldn’t inherit his Spiritual Body traits.
“Unknowingly, the pace of having children has slowed down this much.”
Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart.
Then he chanted a silent incantation to start the lottery.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Phoenix True Feather!]
[The reward has been deposited in the System Space, and the host can check it at any time]
“Phoenix True Feather, just a bird feather?”
Lu Changsheng furrowed his brow slightly and immediately looked at the System Space.
[Phoenix True Feather]
[Rank: Fourth Rank]
[Description: The sole innate true feather of a True Spirit Sky Phoenix, containing its essence and imprinting the Sky Phoenix’s bone patterns, equivalent to a natural artifact]
Seeing this reward, Lu Changsheng was at a loss for words.
The reward was certainly nice.
An innate true feather of a Fourth Rank Sky Phoenix.
But his failed fishing had caused him to feel uninspired by what he saw as a lackluster reward.
Or, one might say, if this appeared in a normal lottery, it would be pleasant.
But receiving merely a bird feather from an Advanced Lottery felt underwhelming.
“However, this feather is indeed suitable for refining a magical or even a spiritual treasure.”
Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly and extracted the Phoenix True Feather.
Wanting to see where this rare innate feather’s specialties lay.
Instantly, a sharply bright red feather, blazing with fire, surrounded by numerous mysterious runes, emanating an astonishing aura, appeared before him.
In glimpses, it seemed to echo with a phoenix’s cry across the skies, stirring layers of intense heat.
Lu Changsheng held the true feather, and with a light swipe.
The void trembled, and a cascade of crimson flame swept out from the true feather in all directions, forming a sea of burning flames.
“Whoa, the power of this unrefined feather rivals that of a top-level magical treasure!”
Lu Changsheng was amazed.
He knew that this kind of innate true feather was unique, with only one per spiritual bird.
But he had never expected that a mere feather could wield this degree of power.
“Indeed, everything produced by the system is of top-notch quality.”
Lu Changsheng held the true feather in his hand, scrutinizing the mysterious runes atop it, trying to discern the imprinted Sky Phoenix bone pattern.
