"Oh? Is this also Sect Master Aurora Polaris's intention? " Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. Although these rewards could not compare to the Divine Weapons, they were still very generous. Many of them could be used to reward his subordinates. He had thought this through thoroughly.
"Yes. The sect master has always given his full support to the sect's meritorious subjects, "the red-haired man said with respect.
"Thank you for the gifts, sect master. I'll go back and rest for now. When I'm fully recovered, I'll repay the sect," Lu Sheng said with a smile.
The red-haired man smiled and exchanged a few more pleasantries. Then, he turned around and left.
Lu Sheng glanced at the boxes. He could feel the strength of the auras of the Divine Weapons in the boxes. It was as the red-haired man said. There were three Golden Leaf Weapons and two Jade Star Weapons.
This trip wasn't too much of a loss.
'It's been a few years. It's time for me to go back. I wonder how my son is doing …' Lu Sheng felt a rare softness in his heart.
Early the next morning, he swept up a black cloud and soared into the sky with the five Divine Weapons. He flew toward the mainland. He also brought back a few items for Aurora Polaris and the others.
After flying for three days, he finally saw the mainland from afar.
He landed by the sea, found a small town, ate something, and washed up. The next day, Lu Sheng took off again.
Along the way, there were many things waiting to be done. All the trades and professions were completely destroyed by the Devil Disaster. Only the trade of carriages was the most prosperous. Resources from various places needed to be exchanged and allocated as quickly as possible. This required fast transportation.
Along the way, Lu Sheng saw many farmers plowing the fields and sowing seeds in more than one place.
The spring rain was continuous. Every few days, there would be a drizzle. Many of the black soil that was polluted by the Devil Disaster even grew tender green teeth.
Lu Sheng asked for directions along the way. After several directions from the Thousand Sun Sect's branch sect, he quickly returned to the Nine Bright Province.
Compared to the other prefectures, the Nine Bright Province was clearly more destroyed. After all, it was the first prefecture that the Devil Army encountered.
Along the way, there were people living in misery. Starving people covered the ground, and corpses were everywhere. Many of the villages they passed by were sparsely populated. The remaining villagers were either staring blankly, resentful, or had lifeless expressions, as if they had lost all hope in life.
Some were so hungry that they dug up tree bark and ate the rotting corpses of animals and humans.
The situation only improved when they were about to reach the Autumn Moon County. The land around Autumn Moon County was protected by the Prime Devil Sect and the Three Sects, so it wasn't invaded by the Devil Army. Especially since the Prime Devil Sect was expanding rapidly, ordinary devils couldn't even defeat them.
Lu Sheng made a slight turn. After confirming that there were no more monsters in the vicinity, he headed straight for the Lu Clan in the county capital.
When they arrived, the people of the Lu Manor, whom they had not seen for many years, also cheered thunderously. Lanterns and streamers were hung up, and everyone invited their friends and family to a banquet to celebrate the return of the Lu Family Patriarch, Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng's strength and status were second to none in the entire Nine Bright Province. The news of his return immediately spread throughout the prefecture. Many Aristocratic Families' masters, the chiefs of the great clans, and the masters of the sects came to offer gifts to him.
A Divine Lord powerhouse was enough to protect the Nine Bright Province for thousands of years. There was no doubt about that. Even the prefectural governor of the prefecture, the highest executive officer of a province, personally sent his nephew to attend the banquet hosted by the Lu Family.
However, Lu Sheng did not care about these things at all. Apart from his own cultivation base, the only thing he cared about was his family.
…
The central garden of the Lu Manor.
Four-year-old Lu Ning sat under an old locust tree, listening to the old locust tree tell him nursery rhymes from many years ago. He had just turned four this year. He was fair and chubby, and his eyes were squinted into slits. His body was as round as a ball. No one knew who he was imitating, but he was already as fat as a piglet at the age of four, and he rolled like a ball when he walked.
The old locust tree reached out a branch and flipped through the book in front of it. It continued to read, "… After the little shepherd girl returned home, she found the shell she picked up before and placed it in clean water to raise. Every day, she hoped that the shell would grow bigger and more beautiful, just like the old goat said … "
"Daddy!" Suddenly, Xiaopang's eyes lit up. He leaped up and pounced forward toward Lu Sheng who had just entered the courtyard.
"Are you done with today's homework?" Lu Sheng hugged his son gently and pinched his chubby cheeks.
"No."
"Then why did you come here and ask Old Locust to tell you a story? Are you looking for a beating? "Lu Sheng's expression darkened.
"I think that not having a story in my homework will help me," the plump boy replied loudly.
"Who taught you that? Homework is the best way for you to gain knowledge! "Lu Sheng's expression darkened.
"Mother said that I don't need to gain knowledge. I'll die earlier than Father anyway," the plump boy said nonchalantly.
"How dare you believe your mother's words?" Lu Sheng immediately felt a headache coming on. "Go! Don't disturb your Grandpa Locust Tree. "
"Oh." The plump Lu Ning pouted and left in dissatisfaction.
After he left, a slender girl in blue slowly walked out from the corridor behind Lu Sheng. The girl wore a tight-fitting shirt and trousers with a black whip tied around her waist. Her expression was calm, and her face was clear and pure. Her black hair was tied up in a ponytail, just like Lu Sheng's.
"Jueqing, come here." Lu Sheng waved at the girl.
This girl was the only disciple he had taken in previously, Mu Jueqing. After Lu Sheng returned, he felt slightly guilty. He had neglected his duties as a master and had not taught her anything for so long. Thus, he had been keeping her by his side all this time.
"Yes." Mu Jueqing walked quickly to the old locust tree. She puffed out her chest and raised her head with a cold expression.
"Jueqing is my disciple. However, I haven't done much research on the Wood Spirit Body, so I sent her here to ask for your guidance, Old Locust. What type of True Essence path is the best way to teach such a physique? "Lu Sheng asked.
The old locust tree stared at Mu Jueqing and examined her closely. "I've seen a few of the Wood Spirit Bodies that you mentioned, Sect Master. This kind of physique is blessed by nature for cultivating Essence and True Essence. Their progress is extremely fast, and they are unimpeded before the Earth Prime level. In that case, Sect Master, you can teach her some Wood Element True Essence cultivation methods. "
"Wood Element True Essence cultivation methods …" Lu Sheng did not expect it to be so simple. He knew a few Wood Element cultivation methods, but none that could help one reach the highest level of Weapon Master.
Of course, this was not a problem for him.
During his last trip to the Spiritual Power World, he had used up a lot of Mental Energy, but he had also obtained a lot of it. Now, he had more than 9,000 units left.
With so much Mental Energy, deriving a Weapon Master level skill formula was as easy as pie.
This was especially true now that his skill was at the level of a Divine Lord. His spirit was extremely strong, and his True Essence was abundant. The amount of Mental Energy spent on derivations would also be greatly reduced. Perhaps one or two hundred units would be enough.
"Understood. I'll take care of it." Lu Sheng nodded. "Alright, Jueqing. Go and cultivate the basic True Essence cultivation methods. I'll be back in a while."
"Yes, Master," Mu Jueqing replied respectfully. She turned around and left without any hesitation.
However, even though she was a girl, she walked with a majestic gait. The more Lu Sheng looked at her, the more familiar she felt.
After Mu Jueqing left, Elder Huai said with a smile, "This child likes you very much." "Even the way she walks and talks is imitating you."
"Is that so?" Lu Sheng smiled.
"Actually, just now …" Elder Huai did not finish his sentence.
"If I, Mu Jueqing, want to beat up a child, nobody in the entire Nine Bright Province will dare to stop me! Get out of my way! "Suddenly, Mu Jueqing's furious roar rang from afar.
"Beat him up! Beat him up! My father is Lu Sheng! Who dares to touch me?! "A fat voice shouted from the side, as if he wanted to see the world in chaos.
Then, there was a commotion, dogs barking, and children screaming and crying.
Lu Sheng and the old locust tree looked at each other speechlessly.
"These two children … are really like you …" The old locust tree could not help but add.
"You're wrong. I'm not that arrogant …" Lu Sheng shook his head.
'You're much more arrogant than him …'
The old locust tree's lips twitched. He dared not continue the conversation.
"Alright, back to the topic. Elder Huai, do you know any wood-type cultivation methods of the demon race? If you can, can you help me organize some? It would be best if they could reach the level of a Weapon Master, "Lu Sheng asked.
After all, his Infinity Technique could accommodate all cultivation methods. Even if he cultivated a wood-type cultivation method, he could fuse it into his body.
The Infinity Technique was too grand. With Yin and Yang as its foundation, it could smelt all things. The Yin and Yang here were defined by Lu Sheng as everything that was light and ethereal was Yang. Everything that was solid, heavy, sinking, turbid, and cold was Yin. In truth, Yang was the sky, and Yin was the earth.
"The demon race does know some wood-type cultivation methods. Since the sect master wants them, I, Old Huai, can't just give you some inferior goods," Elder Huai said with a smile. The Prime Devil Sect had always been respectful to him and granted all his requests. They did their best to collect and deliver all the good resources he needed.
Because of this, his cultivation base improved greatly. That was why he had a good impression of the Lu Family and the Prime Devil Sect.
This time, Lu Sheng even gave him dozens of wood-type Divine Weapon shards. That made Elder Huai feel even better.
"The sect master must have prepared it for that little girl with the Wood Spirit Body. Speaking of the Wood Spirit Body, there was once a great demon who fully studied the principles of the Wood Spirit Body and created a cultivation method for the Clear and Clear Bright Body. It can cultivate a Demon's body to the level of a Divine Lord Great Demon at the Weapon Master level, "Elder Huai explained.
"It's very difficult, isn't it?" Lu Sheng was unmoved.
"It's not very difficult. If you're not willing, you can change to another one. The Nine Zero Heavenly Demon Subduing Devil Scroll is also a Demon race supreme cultivation method that leads directly to the level of a Weapon Master. It walks the Heavenly Demon Path of the Heavenly Star. It's very effective against the Devil Tribe. Its advantage over other cultivation methods is that the Natal Star hangs high above one's head, and one has an endless supply of True Essence. Its endurance far surpasses other cultivation methods, "Elder Huai suggested.
"Alright, I'll take this one." Lu Sheng was slightly worried about the current situation. There were many conflicts between the Human and Devil Worlds. It was very likely that they would escalate into a great war.
He quickly took care of the matters at home. After teaching the cultivation method to Mu Jueqing, he used the excuse of recuperating at home to devour the five Divine Weapons given to him by Aurora Polaris. He obtained more than 30,000 Mental Energy units. In addition to the previous ones, he had 40,000 Mental Energy units.
Then, Lu Sheng began to study the Spiritual Power cultivation method and Shamun's Jade Book in detail. He was prepared to go to another world through independent possession. At the same time, he continued to study the Death Flames and Yin Flames. He hoped to complete the fusion stage as soon as possible.
