Unlimited Investment in the Destined Protagonist: Forging an Eternal Immortal Clan - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: The Family Ascends to a Fifth-Grade Force with Great Rewards, Langya Heavenly Sect’s Sense of Crisis, and the Plan to Turn Lu Tianming!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, nearly another month had passed.

Since Lu Qingxuan took over the throne of the Lu Royal Mansion, more than half a year had already gone by. During this period, it could be said that the Lu Royal Mansion had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Not only did the Lu Royal Mansion not decline, but it became even more prosperous than before.

Under Lu Qingxuan’s leadership, they swept away the hostile family forces in Beiyuan County, claimed dominance over Beiyuan County, and vigorously developed the family.

And just recently, Jiang Xunya, with the numerous resources provided by Lu Qingxuan, also broke through to the Spiritual Pill Realm.

In addition, an ordinary direct-line elder had also just broken through to the Spiritual Pill Realm.

At this moment, the number of clan members in the Lu Royal Mansion who possessed the Spiritual Pill Realm cultivation had reached ten.

Of course, the strongest were still Lu Qingxuan, Ling Xiyue, and the Grand Elder—three Soul Palace Realm powerhouses.

For the family’s strength to reach such a layer in such a short time was a scene that the people of the Lu Royal Mansion could never have imagined before.

On this day, while Lu Qingxuan was cultivating in the hall, a system voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Ding! It has been detected that the host’s family has given birth to three Soul Palace Realm cultivators and ten Spiritual Pill Realm cultivators. The family has been promoted to a fifth-grade force, and a special reward is granted!]

[Would the host like to claim the reward immediately?]

“Promoted to a fifth-grade force?”

A trace of joy flashed through Lu Qingxuan’s heart.

The minimum requirement for promotion to a fifth-grade force was to have three Soul Palace Realm cultivators and ten Spiritual Pill Realm cultivators.

And now, the Lu Royal Mansion had just met this condition.

With this in mind, Lu Qingxuan without hesitation and directly chose to claim it.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining: 20,000 family luck points, two top-grade Heavenly Rank spiritual veins, one Earth Rank technique card and one Earth Rank martial skill card, one Spiritual Medicine Peak, thirty Blazing Sky Eagles, one Soul Infant Treasure Tree?, one hundred drops of Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Marrow Liquid, three Family Martial Platforms, and a Mysterious Ice Spirit Physique!]

Seeing such generous rewards, Lu Qingxuan’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

Immediately, he began to examine them one by one.

[Earth Rank Technique Promotion Card, Earth Rank Martial Skill Promotion Card: Using these two cards, an Earth Rank technique and an Earth Rank martial skill can be upgraded by one layer!]

Seeing such special items, a look of delight appeared on Lu Qingxuan’s face.

With these items, he could select a top-grade Earth Rank technique and a top-grade Earth Rank martial skill and promote them to the Heavenly Rank.

This would allow the items to be utilized to their fullest potential.

Immediately, he took out a top-grade Earth Rank technique and martial skill and experimented with the cards.

In just a moment, he obtained a low-grade Heavenly Rank technique and a low-grade Heavenly Rank martial skill, which left Lu Qingxuan very satisfied.

[Spiritual Medicine Peak: Three hundred zhang tall, containing five hundred types of Yellow Rank, Mysterious Rank, and Earth Rank spiritual medicines in large quantities, a small portion of Heavenly Rank spiritual medicines, and a small chance of producing King Rank spiritual medicines. If various spiritual medicine treasure trees are planted here, the survival rate can reach 100%, and their medicinal effects will increase by 20%!]

Seeing such a medicinal peak, Lu Qingxuan couldn’t help but feel delighted in his heart.

Not only did this Spiritual Medicine Peak come with an existing batch of spiritual medicines, but it could also cultivate a large number of new spiritual medicines.

If this peak were used to cultivate spiritual medicines, the Lu Royal Mansion would likely never lack them in the future.

[Blazing Sky Eagle: A Purple Mansion Realm spirit beast, two to three zhang in size, possessing extreme speed, now bound as a family spirit beast!]

For this type of spirit beast, Lu Qingxuan planned to use them as mounts, as these beasts were naturally adept at high-speed flight.

This would save a lot of travel time for the family’s disciples.

[Soul Infant Treasure Tree?: A spiritual root of heaven and earth, it flowers every three years, bears fruit every three years, and matures every three years. Each time, it can produce sixty-four Soul Infant Fruits. This fruit can help Spiritual Pill Realm cultivators break through to the Soul Palace Realm and can also accelerate the cultivation of Divine Union Realm cultivators, enhancing soul power!]

As for this spiritual root of heaven and earth, the Soul Infant Treasure Tree? was extremely rare. Even the royal family of the Lingyun Dynasty would absolutely covet it if they saw it.

With this spiritual root, the Lu Royal Mansion could cultivate more Soul Palace Realm and Divine Union Realm clan members in the future.

Although it would take ten years each time to obtain the Soul Infant Fruit, for cultivators, ten years was like the blink of an eye.

Lu Qingxuan planned to transplant it onto the Spiritual Medicine Peak for careful cultivation!

[Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Marrow Liquid: Washes the marrow and refines the Physique, improves the foundation, enhances physique, and has many other miraculous effects. The higher the cultivation, the lesser the effect!]

Seeing this spiritual liquid reminded Lu Qingxuan of the Minor Nirvana Marrow-Washing Pill.

However, the medicinal effect of this spiritual liquid was clearly more than ten times stronger than the Minor Nirvana Marrow-Washing Pill, with fewer obvious restrictions, making it suitable for more cultivators.

With this spiritual liquid, older clan members with poorer aptitudes could have the chance to wash their marrow and refine their bodies once again, improving their foundations.

[Family Martial Platform: A special treasure that can withstand battles between powerhouses below the Ascending Realm. Fighting on this platform can help combatants realize the shortcomings of their martial skills. If a life-or-death situation arises, the combatants will automatically be removed from the platform!]

This was a treasure beneficial to the family!

With such a treasure, it would not only increase the combat experience of the clan members but also help them address deficiencies in the martial skills they had learned.

This would undoubtedly help the clan members improve their own strength.

[Mysterious Ice Spirit Physique: A high-tier spirit Physique, naturally wielding the power of cold ice, capable of contending with a King Physique. Note: It has been detected that the host already possesses the Tyrant Heavenly Physique. The host can designate a clan member to awaken this physique within three days!]

Mysterious Ice Spirit Physique!

Lu Qingxuan hadn’t expected to be rewarded with a high-tier spirit physique, and this couldn’t help but bring a smile to his face.

After reading the description of the Mysterious Ice Spirit Physique, Lu Qingxuan immediately decided who to designate it to.

His mother, Jiang Xunya, practiced a cold ice attribute technique, making her the most suitable candidate to fuse with this Mysterious Ice Spirit Physique.

Without hesitation, Lu Qingxuan immediately designated this spirit physique to Jiang Xunya.

After completing this task, Lu Qingxuan carefully reviewed the remaining rewards again, nodding in satisfaction with a very good mood.

Subsequently, Lu Qingxuan promptly arranged the Martial Platforms, Spiritual Medicine Peak, spirit beasts, and other rewards throughout the Lu family before resuming his cultivation state.

Meanwhile, the entire Lu Royal Mansion continued to enter a phase of rapid development, improving its overall strength. However, under such circumstances, the astonishing changes in the Lu Royal Mansion naturally couldn’t escape the notice of other forces.

…

At the same time.

In the Langya Heavenly Sect, far from the Lu Royal Mansion.

At the residence of the Sect Leader, Song Yan.

The Ninth Elder, Feng Yu, who was in charge of intelligence, was reporting the latest intelligence about the Lu Royal Mansion to him.

After listening to this elder’s report, Song Yan’s brows furrowed slightly.

“Oh, the Lu Royal Mansion has recently gained a few more Spiritual Pill Realm cultivators and a group of Purple Mansion Realm cultivators? And they even unearthed a treasure from a spiritual ore vein? Could it be that the Lu Royal Mansion has truly obtained some powerful inheritance or a fateful grotto?”

The fact that the Lu Royal Mansion had previously wiped out the three major families of Beiyuan County, as well as all its recent developments, naturally couldn’t escape the intelligence network of Langya Heavenly Sect.

Earlier, when the Lu Royal Mansion suddenly rose, they thought it might have received help from some force and didn’t pay too much attention. But based on their ongoing investigations, that didn’t seem to be the case.

To be able to elevate the Lu Royal Mansion’s strength to such a layer in such a short time, they couldn’t help but suspect that the Lu Royal Mansion had obtained some immense opportunity.

After all, Langya Heavenly Sect had previously gained an opportunity on an island overseas. But even that couldn’t have allowed their overall strength to develop as rapidly as the Lu Royal Mansion’s!

Seeing the Lu Royal Mansion’s overall strength growing stronger, Langya Heavenly Sect simply couldn’t sit still. Because back when they fought over that opportunity on the overseas island, it was Langya Heavenly Sect that had annihilated all the members of the Lu Royal Mansion.

Now, seeing the Lu Royal Mansion, which they could once easily destroy, suddenly advancing by leaps and bounds, Langya Heavenly Sect vaguely felt a sense of danger.

After pondering for a while, Song Yan looked at the Ninth Elder, Feng Yu, and asked, “Does Elder Feng have any way to send someone into the Lu Royal Mansion to thoroughly investigate the situation?”

Feng Yu thought for a moment and replied, “Sect Leader, our sect has a disciple named Lu Tianming who happens to be from the Lu Royal Mansion. I think we can control this person to return to the Lu Royal Mansion and investigate.”

As the intelligence elder, the identity information of all sect disciples naturally couldn’t be hidden from him.

“Oh, our sect has a disciple from the Lu Royal Mansion?”

As the sect leader, he naturally hadn’t paid much attention to the fact that there was a disciple from the Lu Royal Mansion in the sect.

Immediately, he asked again, “What is the aptitude of that disciple from the Lu Royal Mansion? Has he been taken under the wing of any elder in the sect?”

Feng Yu replied, “Lu Tianming’s aptitude is average, though he possesses a minor special talent. He hasn’t yet been taken under any elder in our sect.”

Hearing Feng Yu’s response, Song Yan fell into thought.

After a moment of contemplation, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Feng Yu and said, “Does Elder Feng have confidence in this?”

Feng Yu nodded confidently, “Sect Leader, rest assured. This disciple named Lu Tianming, from what I hear, hasn’t yet broken through to the Foundation Realm. Controlling him should not be difficult!”

Hearing this, Song Yan nodded slightly, “Good. Then I’ll trouble Elder Feng with this matter. For now, let it be known only to the two of us!”

Controlling a sect disciple to spy on an enemy’s intelligence was something that would damage the sect’s reputation, so naturally, he hoped the fewer people who knew, the better.

However, to uncover the secrets behind the Lu Royal Mansion’s rise, he had no choice but to sacrifice this disciple.

With the approval of Sect Leader Song Yan, Feng Yu’s expression brightened with delight.

Immediately, he respectfully saluted and then withdrew.

Watching Feng Yu’s retreating figure, Song Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he murmured, “I’d like to see what secrets your Lu Royal Mansion holds to rise so quickly!”
