Chapter 303
303 The ancestor of a five-star family leaves the mountain
Of course, li Chengzong also knew about this matter.
In his Eastern Palace, he lost his temper and smashed a cup, which was a rare sight.
He was very angry.
All these years, his life had been both good and bad.
In the Battle of the North barren forest, he had ‘proved’ to the entire imperial court of the Yan Kingdom that he could fight, and that he was no worse than his nephew.
He was no longer the naïve young man who had just been appointed as the Crown Prince. He still didn’t understand why Li Xuanhao was so favored by his father and had become his greatest rival.
After that, in the battle between the two, Li Xuanhao had shown very strong leadership abilities in many wars. He had also advanced to the Golden core realm early on. Even though li Chengzong was sometimes more favored by the officials in charge of government affairs, Xuanji was an era where strength was respected. Li Xuanhao’s cultivation was stronger, his talent was better, and he had performed outstandingly in many wars. As such, it was only natural that he would be favored by others.
In the Battle of the North barren forest, li Chengzong had regained a bit of his reputation, but he had also suffered a great loss.
The crown prince’s young master, Wang Bei, was one of his most important supporters in the sect. The death of his son in the North barren forest was a huge blow to him. In these ten years, a large part of his energy had been placed on repairing his relationship with the sect.
There were still some results. He found another Jindan stage elder in the sect as a supporter. However, Qianqian’s new ‘thigh’ was not as close as Wang Hua. On the contrary, he was weaker in this aspect.
He had thought that the biggest gain from the battle in the North barren forest was the relationship with the Lu family. He had personally witnessed Lu Qing’s strength and was certain that this ancestor of the Lu clan would definitely be able to enter the nascent Soul Stage in the future. He felt that after a few years, the Lu family and the Qingfeng sect would become a powerful force that was second only to the Yunxiao sect in the country of Yan. Therefore, over the years, he had tried his best to befriend the Lu family. At the same time, he had also deliberately put this relationship on the surface.
Not only did he hope that the Lu family would truly support him, but he also hoped that the entire Yan country would know that the recently rising Lu family supported him.
This time, he didn’t know who was behind the attack on the Lu family. However, he realized that this seemed to be a very good opportunity for him to formally invite the Lu family to enter the Imperial court of Yan Kingdom, to enter the core of power, and to become his true supporters in the Imperial court.
After all the fighting, he finally managed to get the official positions for the Lu family. Other than the ones in the Feiyun state, there were also some official positions in the Imperial court.
He was a little disappointed that the Lu family had rejected him, but that was all he could say. He could only say that he still needed to work hard.
However, after the Lu family rejected him, they still sent people into the capital, which really annoyed him.
Most importantly, he was afraid-if the Lu family no longer supported him, then the greatest asset he had gained from the battle in the North barren forest would disappear.
Hearing the sound of a cup being smashed, a vassal of the eastern Palace entered.
“His Highness the Crown Prince?”
Li Chengzong panted heavily and didn’t say anything.
“Your Highness, are you angry because of the Lu family?”
This person was quite smart.
“If that’s the case, why don’t we use our bi an?”
Before he could finish his words, li Chengzong’s cold gaze turned towards him,”What do you want to do?”
The subordinate was stunned.
Li Chengzong’s voice continued,”at least he’s here, and he didn’t show any intention of standing too close to Li Xuanhao.” What are you trying to do? Can you help me push the Lu family to Li Xuanhao’s side?”
“This subject has no such intentions.” That subordinate official
“I also know that you don’t mean it that way. It’s just that you didn’t think it through clearly at the moment.” Li Chengzong’s tone also eased up, and he regained his calm attitude.”However, I’m worried that you’re not the only one who thinks this. Yingluo, pass on my thoughts. Don’t cause any more trouble. Also, help me invite the few people from the Lu family. I want to meet them.”
……
They still saw each other, but Lu Wenen and the others did not enter the eastern Palace. Instead, they stayed outside.
After entering the eastern Palace, some things were unclear.
And they didn’t just see the Crown Prince. They also saw the people sent by the Imperial grandson, Li Xuanhao.
In fact, even the words they said were almost the same. It was nothing more than the two of them, as the representatives of the royal family, thanking the Lu family for their contribution in the Battle of the North barren forest, and highly praising the Lu family for cultivating many powerful and outstanding cultivators for the country of Yan. They also welcomed the Lu family to enter the Imperial court and make greater contributions to the country.
As for Lu Wenen, he thanked the two representatives from the royal family and the Imperial court for their affirmation as both the Lu clan and the Qingfeng sect.
It was all just conventional talk. As long as they talked about something substantial, Lu Wenen would immediately tell them that they had to prepare for next year’s big exam and cultivate with all their heart and soul. There were many things that they were not in the mood to participate in.
All in all, this attitude clearly shows that the Lu family will not support any faction. However, there was still room for negotiation. Both sides had been in friendly contact. If there were any changes in the future, the Lu family would not mind changing their preference.
As for the selection of officials, bi an
The current head of the nine ministers, tai Changqing, mo ruhai, was a member of the mo clan, one of the four great clans. The mo clan also supported the Crown Prince, li Chengzong, with a clear banner. Similarly, the official Registrar’s Department was a subsidiary of the Taichang house.
The cultivators from the Lu clan and the Qingfeng sect were all of good standards, so they didn’t have to worry about the results. As for the official Selection, he would just wait and see.
Anyway, the Lu family was not in a hurry.
……
On Yuyan mountain, Lu Qing no longer thought about the matters of Yan city.
He had something more important to pay attention to.
According to the system’s judgment, the Lu family’s family rank had been raised to five stars.
[ 5-star family upgrade completed ]
[ clan level has been upgraded to five stars ]
[ the user’s higher consciousness’s flying speed will be doubled. [ the karma required for a single use of out-body time has been increased to 20 ]
the user’s physical body and consciousness have become more integrated. You’ve gained more control over your physical body. You can now move around in the family territory. Furthermore, when the consciousness returns to the physical body, the maximum strength it can exert will be raised to the peak of the Golden core stage.
[ the exchange Mall will make it easier to get high star-level exchange items. ]
[ the karma required to refresh the mall has been increased to 50. [ 500 karma is required to refresh the conquest mode ]
……
Finally, he was a five-star!
For example, the increase in flying speed, the increase in karma required to replenish the time spent outside the body, and the increase in karma required to refresh the merchant shop were all common and within his expectations.
What surprised Lu Qing the most was the increase in his control over his physical body.
Just as Lu Qing had expected, the rise of his clan’s stars allowed him to unleash the abilities of a golden core cultivator without using the resurrection exchange tab. More importantly, he could move freely in the entire family’s territory.
He immediately returned to his physical body.
His true essence surged, and the strength of a peak-stage golden core cultivator circulated in his body.
It had been a long time.
Lu Qing’s current abilities were already at the peak of the Golden elixir realm, even though he was not far from breaking through to the nascent soul realm.
However, there was no doubt that he was now able to perfectly display his full strength.
He moved carefully and took a step out of the closed-door cultivation room.
There was no problem at all.
A gentle breeze blew, and Lu Qing’s face was covered in tears.
Even though he had only gone out twice through the exchange of resurrection since he woke up more than 50 years ago, he was still very confident in himself. However, under the effect of the resurrection exchange tab, the time he could resurrect was limited. It was only six hours. Furthermore, he had something important to do every time. He had to make use of every second he had. How could he have the mood to experience the breeze and the sunlight?
However, it was different now. He could truly walk out as he wished.
Lu Qing put away the excited expression on his face. It would not be good if the clan members saw this. It would damage the dignity of the patriarch!
The back mountain of Yuyan mountain had always been guarded by the younger generation of the clan. But to be honest, up until now, people did not treat guarding the back mountain as a mission-the ancestor had already come out of the mountain twice, and each time, he had caused a huge incident. This proved that the ancestor Lu had long recovered and was no longer in a seriously injured state.
Although the elder ancestor always stayed in his closed-door cultivation room and had never really walked out of the back mountain or his closed-door cultivation room, everyone basically thought that the elder ancestor was obsessed with cultivation and preferred to stay at home.
As for guarding the door, why would a peak Jindan stage ancestor need a group of Qi refining cultivators to guard the door?
In fact, the Lu family now basically regarded the task of guarding the back mountain as an honor. Every time a descendant of a certain clan was about to receive some sort of reward or even have the opportunity to take a foundation building pill, they would let him guard the mountain first and second for two years.
To the younger generation of the Lu family, this had gradually become an honor.
congratulations. This year, cousin will be guarding the back mountain, right? ”
“Sigh, I don’t know when I can go to the back mountain to guard the gate.”
Such words were often heard in the conversations between the Lu family members.
He didn’t have to do anything to guard the door. He just had to cultivate. In addition, they would soon be able to get the reward that was worth looking forward to, so no one would say anything.
Back to the current situation, the ones guarding the door were two descendants of the Lu family. One of them was still fine. After guarding the door, he would only receive a relatively normal reward of resources that could assist in his cultivation. The other one was basically certain to receive a foundation building pill after guarding the door.
At this moment, the two of them were also sitting cross-legged facing each other, quietly cultivating.
Suddenly, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time and glanced in the direction of the back mountain. They saw a man with eyes as bright as the stars walking over in large strides.
The two of them were stunned.
Their ancestor rarely came out of the mountain and entered his closed room. As their positions and qualifications were not high enough in the clan, they had never seen their ancestor with their own eyes.
However, even if he had not seen her in person, he still had a portrait.
After being stunned for a moment, they immediately recognized him. This was their old ancestor.
The two of them quickly stood up and bowed deeply.
“I’m fine. The two of you can continue to stand guard.” Lu Qing knew that the Lu clan had become a traditional gatekeeper. It wasn’t like he would shut himself in his room every day without knowing what was going on.
The two guards suppressed the excitement in their hearts. However, they could not bear to look away from Lu Qing’s back view as he left. They looked at him with admiration until Lu Qing’s figure disappeared from their sight.
“The ancestor has come out of the mountain!” One of them said excitedly.
“I wonder if there’s something big?” The other person was excited, but his expression was a little worried. the ancestor of our Lu family has always been low-key and doesn’t like to show off. He can be considered the number one cultivator in the Feiyun state, but he is almost always cultivating in the chamber. The only two times he left the mountain were when something major happened. The ancestor only came out at the critical moment to deal with Wufu. Could it be that something major happened?”
Upon hearing this, the other person also expressed some concern.
……
On Yuyan mountain, Lu Qing was surrounded by people wherever he went.
For example, the things that the gatekeeper had been worried about before actually represented the thoughts of many people who usually thought too much.
In fact, even Lu chaoxi and Lu mingchao were alarmed and came out.
In their impression, their father would never leave the chamber unless something major happened. This was not quite in line with their impression of their father when they were young. However, this was how Lu Qing had been acting all these years.
It was no wonder that they would be nervous when their father came out.
However, nothing major had happened recently. Lu Qing also realized that his actions would cause a huge misunderstanding. He coughed twice and comforted his son and daughter. He explained that he had come out on a whim today and that it was nothing serious. He asked them to do what they were supposed to do.
At first, Lu Qing had wanted to go to the border of Yuyan mountain and test how big the area that the system said ‘could be used within the clan’s territory’ was. However, it did not seem appropriate.
Therefore, he took a few days to meet with the clansmen of many clans on Yuyan mountain.
They were all his descendants.
Over the past few days, everyone saw that Lu Qing had seen a lot of things. Slowly, they did not have such a big reaction.
At this moment, Lu Qing could finally begin his own attempts.
He really wanted to take a good look at how this so-called ‘family territory’ was calculated.
Was it limited to Yuyan mountain? Or perhaps Pingyao County?
Or could it be that the anling Prefecture, which was half-directly controlled by the Lu clan’s vassal forces, counted as well?
Or could it be that by exerting their sect’s influence, they could reach the entire Feiyun state?
If the entire Feiyun state counted, wouldn’t it be awesome?

In addition, the recent storm is quite big. First of all, I would like to thank many of my readers for their concern. I haven’t been on QQ for ten thousand years, but today, many people privately messaged me, and I was shocked.
He would definitely finish this book in peace, and if nothing went wrong with the next book, he would still be at the starting point.
I feel that a lot of things have been over-interpreted, don’t worry, everyone ~
