Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 187: 107: The Heavenly Longevity Technique, Great Dream Immortal City!_1

“If I didn’t use Talisman Treasures or Talismans, relying solely on my own strength, it wouldn’t be so simple to kill a cultivator at the Energy Refinement Late Stage.”

Lu Changsheng gazed at the elderly man he had slain, feeling an immense calm within.

“Pfft!”

A Flame Bullet Technique manifested in his palm and shot towards the elder’s charred body, burning the corpse to ashes.

Lu Changsheng then reached out with a large hand, and his Spiritual Force Palm collected the old man’s Storage Bag into his own possession.

When Lu Changsheng returned to his original spot, he saw Xia Long was no longer in the air, having descended to the ground to rest.

He was already severely injured before, relying on a Secret Technique to suppress his wounds.

But the attack from Yin Thunder Child caused all his severe injuries to erupt, becoming even more critical. His entire body was emanating an air of death, giving off the impression of a lamp running out of oil.

“Cough cough cough, thank you, Lu Daoist, for saving my life, please accept Xia’s bow.”

Xia Long sat on the ground, coughing up black blood and slightly bowing to Lu Changsheng as a gesture of thanks.

Then, with trembling hands, he took out two Storage Bags from his garment and said, “Lu Daoist, now that I am on the verge of death, what I cannot let go of the most are my children in the mortal world. If possible, I hope Lu Daoist can take care of my son.”

“This is all my wealth, including a Foundation Establishment Spirit Object and chances I’ve obtained from the Purple Shadow Secret Realm. Take them as your reward.”

Xia Long handed over the Storage Bags to Lu Changsheng, speaking in a feeble tone.

He was very clear about his present condition, teetering on the brink of death.

Unless there was a precious elixir or a medical expert to prolong his life.

But now, with neither condition feasible, there was only the road to death.

He even worried whether Lu Changsheng might covet his wealth.

It would be better to offer everything he had on his person of his own volition.

To beseech Lu Changsheng to look after his children.

Although he wasn’t very familiar with Lu Changsheng.

They had only had sporadic contact and a few dealings in the past.

However, based on their interactions and Lu Changsheng’s timely assistance, Xia Long felt that he was a decent person, righteous in character.

“Take care of your children?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s brow furrowed slightly.

He had previously heard from Xia Long that he had a family in the mortal world, including a pair of children.

He had fought so hard, hunting demon beasts and exploring ancient ruins not only to seek a chance at Foundation Establishment but also to pave the way for his son.

Unexpectedly, facing death, Xia Long was still preoccupied with his children.

“Ah, what trouble you’ve brought upon yourself, Xia Daoist.”

Lu Changsheng sighed softly.

In his view, if Xia Long hadn’t been so desperate, given his Cultivation Level, he would surely have led a more than comfortable life.

“If Lu Daoist is unwilling, then let it be. Consider these things a token of gratitude for saving my life.”

The pale Xia Long said with bitterness in his voice.

“Ah, the love of a parent is indeed hard to fathom.”

Looking at the once resolute and steady Xia Long, who was now pale and pitiful with eyes filled with pleading, Lu Changsheng sighed again.

“The dying request of a Daoist, it’s hard for Lu to refuse.”

“But Lu himself is in a situation, as you know, Xia brother, where I truly have no time to care for others. I can only deliver your ashes back home.”

“If you have any last words or instructions, I can pass them on for you.”

Lu Changsheng spoke.

He himself had many children to support and take care of.

Where would he find the time to look after another person’s children?

Moreover, he remembered Xia Long mentioning that his children were not that young anymore.

“Thank you, Lu Daoist!”

Xia Long, upon hearing this, felt somewhat dejected.

But he also understood that this was human nature.

For Lu Changsheng to be willing to do this was already more than enough.

He immediately began to arrange his affairs.

He told Lu Changsheng about his family in the mortal world and the matters he wanted to pass on.

He also mentioned that in the house he rented in the Nine Dragons Market, there was a set of a First Grade superior Five Element Formation called ‘Heavenly Canopy Five Elements Formation,’ which could trap enemies and block Qi. Lu Changsheng could take it when the time came.

Underneath the small tree in the courtyard, another Storage Bag was buried, containing three hundred Spirit Stones for emergencies.

He hoped that these Spirit Stones could be delivered to his son by Lu Changsheng.

After concluding his final instructions, Xia Long seemed to deflate, closed his eyes, and collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

“Xia brother, rest easy. I will give the Spirit Stones to your son.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Xia Long’s body in front of him and sighed softly.

A gentleman loves money but obtains it in a proper way.

He didn’t see himself as a paragon of virtue.

But in this situation, for these three hundred Spirit Stones, he was still willing to send them back.

Just then, Xia Long’s eyes opened slightly.

With a frail voice, he whispered, “My daughter is also of age to be in the bridal chamber. If Lu Daoist is interested, you may take her as a concubine….”

Having spoken his last, he finally breathed no more.

“Ah, this Xia Daoist really devoted himself to laying out a path for his son.”

“Even at the moment of death, his heart was more preoccupied with his son, thinking of marrying his daughter to me, also in the hopes that I would look after her.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Xia Long, shaking his head and speaking with emotion.

Xia Long indeed had a pair of children,

but in his final instructions, the focus was mainly on his son.

He mentioned that his son would turn twelve next year, hoping to be accepted into an Immortal Sect.

He wanted Lu Changsheng to pass on certain instructions on his behalf,

and even this last statement, in Lu Changsheng’s view, was for the sake of his son.

These sorts of matters were not for Lu Changsheng to judge or comment on.

Looking at Xia Long’s body, once sure he was dead, Lu Changsheng cast a Flame Bullet Technique, reducing Xia Long to ashes.

Then he took out a jade box, slightly raised his hand, and gathered the ashes into the box.

“Just now Xia Long mentioned the Purple Shadow Secret Realm. He was coming from there when he encountered treachery.”
