On this day, Lu Cheng summoned the ninth grandson Lu Songxi and his fiancée Zhou Zhiwei at Yuxu Peak.
The 45-year-old Lu Songxi has reached the peak of the seventh level of innateness and is preparing to enter seclusion to advance to the level of spiritual wizard and spiritual warrior. Zhou Zhiwei, 36, is in the late fifth stage of congenital disease.
When Zhou Zhiwei heard that her ancestor had summoned her, she felt very nervous and asked, "What kind of person is your ancestor? Does he treat others very harshly? What if he doesn't like me and forces you to marry another woman?"
Lu Songxi said: "To be honest, I am very unfamiliar with this ancestor. I only met him twice before I was 7 years old, and I have almost no impression of him. He has been in seclusion for 38 consecutive years, and I don't know what he has become. Don't worry, if he forces me , then I will run away from home."
The two of them walked up to the eighth floor of Yuxu Peak, where the Immortal Palace where Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun resided. The next level up, which is the top of Yuxu Peak, is a place used for retreat, which is always empty on weekdays.
Lu Songxi and Zhou Zhiwei greeted Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun respectfully. Because the generation gap was too big, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "Good boy, get up."
Zhou Zhiwei stood up and looked at the two people sitting in the Grand Master's chair, and found that they were both young, as if they were in their thirties or forties, and not as gray-haired as they imagined.
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "I want to see the Dragon Slaying Sword and Heavenly Sword you developed."
Lu Songxi quickly took out the Dragon Slaying Sword, while Zhou Zhiwei took out the Yitian Sword.
Lu Cheng grabbed it from the air and held the 5,000-pound dragon-slaying knife in his hand, which made Zhou Zhiwei look straight at it!
Her heart was pounding, and she thought to herself: "How far is this ancestor's skill? He is much more powerful than my master Ning Xian!"
Lu Songxi introduced the process of developing the sword, what materials were used, how hard and flexible the alloy was, and what runes were added.
Lu Cheng was very interested and praised him a few words, saying: "The development of rune swords has far-reaching significance. In time, this will be another pillar industry of the Lu family. In recent years, the sea monsters from the depths of the sea, and There are more and more monsters in Siberia. These monsters have become rough and thick-skinned, and it is difficult for ordinary swords to break through the defense, so I am preparing to launch rune swords. The initial swords will have up to 7 runes. Later, as the monsters With the advancement, more runes will be added to the sword. You will be responsible for this matter."
Lu Songxi said: "Ancestor, it is too far from Fangshan County from here. Can the Quancheng Tool Factory be relocated?"
Lu Cheng said: "No, the banks of Qinghai Lake and the hundreds of miles around Yuxu Peak are holy places for cultivating immortals and cannot bear the slightest pollution! Although Fangshan County is small, it is rich in minerals, such as coal, iron ore, bauxite, refractory There is no shortage of clay, limestone, dolomite, asbestos, silica, etc. You don’t have to live in Fangshan County all year round. You can go there for two or three months a year, so that should be fine, right?”
"Yes, Ancestor. I'm just worried about another conflict with the Wu-Tang Clan."
"Isn't everything settled? You've also read Master Ning Xian's letter. Is there anything else to worry about?"
"I want to retreat and advance first, and then deal with these matters."
"You can advance without going into retreat!" As he spoke, Lu Cheng stretched out his hand and put it on Lu Songxi's head!
Jiang Qiuyun waved to Zhou Zhiwei: "Follow me."
Zhou Zhiwei turned back step by step and followed Jiang Qiuyun out. She saw a spiritual field around her, where a variety of spiritual grasses and spiritual trees were planted, and some trees even had spiritual fruits hanging on them. The shapes of those spiritual fruits were very strange, and she didn't recognize most of them.
There is a road down the mountain through Lingtian.
Walk down the mountain along the neat steps.
Jiang Qiuyun said as she walked: "This Yuxu Peak was designed and developed according to the legend of Kunlun's Nine Heavens. There are nine floors from top to bottom. The foot of the mountain is the first floor. Each time you go up one floor, the spiritual energy concentration increases by one. times. There are spiritual fields and gardens on each floor, as well as caves, villas and palaces. There are four alchemy rooms and two library pavilions. One of the library pavilions is located on the seventh floor and collects the mental methods of Nascent Soul and above; The book collection is located on the fourth floor, collecting the mental methods below Nascent Soul. In addition, there is a large library outside the mountain that collects secular books, including those written by me."
Zhou Zhiwei followed Jiang Qiu to the fifth floor, where there was a large palace with a "Shen Yang Array" and a "Shen Yang Tea Room" arranged inside. Here she met Jin Wanrong, Ruan Muyun and two other Jindan monks from the Lu family's side branch.
Jiang Qiuyun said: "After you advance to the golden elixir, you can come here to practice your spiritual consciousness."
Zhou Zhiwei nodded: "Thank you, grandma."
Then the next level down, there are still gardens and spiritual fields, caves and pavilions.
Jiang Qiuyun led her to a two-story building and said: "This is the Lu family's 'Dan Pavilion'. There is no one on weekdays, and the Dan Pavilion is only open every year on the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox and winter solstice." The person who presides over the elixir pavilion is Mrs. Mei. Before receiving the elixir, she will examine your skill. If it is not suitable, you will not be able to receive the elixir. By the way, I would like to ask you what elixir you have taken before?"
Zhou Zhiwei said: "I have taken two marrow-cleansing pills and one yuan-pei-yuan pill."
Jiang Qiuyun stared at her and said, "I have prepared 3 pills for you. Go back and swallow them in order. Take one pill every year!" Then he took out three small glass bottles and marked them with an oil-based pen. serial number.
"Remember the colors of the pills. Take the white pills first, then the green pills, then the purple pills. In case the mark with the oil-based pen is erased, don't take them in the wrong order."
"Yes, I remember."
"After taking the elixir and polishing it for another two or three years, you should reach the peak of innateness. At that time, you can come to the elixir pavilion again and ask for the Lingwu Dan and the Lingwu Dan. Then you can go into seclusion and advance."
"Um."
"The third, sixth, and ninth heavens of Yuxu all have quiet rooms for retreat. If you want to advance to the golden elixir, go to the third heaven and ask Mrs. Jin to protect you. Go and look at the Lu family tree to understand everyone. Don’t confuse the lady’s seniority.”
"Yes." Zhou Zhiwei came to the foot of Kunlun Mountain for thirteen years and chatted with Lu Songxi every day. She roughly mastered the Lu family's genealogy and memorized the names of the family heads and wives from the top to the next generation.
】
She secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, Lu Songxi and I are the ninth generation. If another three thousand years pass, I don't know how many generations the Lu family will have! If like Confucius, he was born in 551 BC, as of 2408, a total of 125 generations! How can future generations remember the names of their ancestors?"
As time goes by, new generations are born, but the ancestors of the older generation do not die. This is also a troublesome thing!
Afterwards, Zhou Zhiwei went down the mountain alone and returned to the courtyard where she lived.
That night, when preparing for dinner, Lu Songxi came back! His face was glowing, his face was full of energy, and his eyes were piercing. It seemed that a qualitative change had occurred in one afternoon!
Zhou Zhiwei asked with concern: "Did the ancestor give you enlightenment?"
Lu Songxi smiled and said: "That's right. I am now a master of Jindan!" He is a fellow practitioner of witchcraft and martial arts. He has advanced to the level of spiritual wizard and spiritual warrior, and is equivalent to Zhenren of Jindan.
"Wow, you succeeded so quickly? I heard that Master Ning Xian spent more than half a year in seclusion before he advanced!"
"With the support of our ancestors, can it be the same?"
"What kind of power does the ancestor have?"
"I don't know, I guess it's above Nascent Soul."
"Above the Nascent Soul, isn't he True Lord Buxu?"
"Well, I'm not sure. My ancestor assigned me a task and asked me to return to Fangshan County to forge weapons! Do you want to come with me?"
"Of course I have to keep an eye on you. If such a young Master Jin Dan goes to the North Wudang Mountains to seduce a beautiful little girl, then I will regret it to death!"
"Haha, madam, you are joking. From top to bottom, our Lu family has always had only one madam!" As a junior, Lu Songxi did not know the past events of his ancestor, Lu Cheng, otherwise he would not be so sure.
