Rebuilding the Lu Family

On the Dixuan Continent, the buildings of mortal lineages were basically constructed from Mortal Grade materials.

More powerful lineages would use materials containing spiritual energy to build their residences, and Spirit Buildings emerged as a result.

Spirit Building Shops were stores that specialized in constructing Spirit Buildings. As long as one paid, a Spirit Building could be built.

The Lu Family had previously built a Yellow Grade Low-tier Spirit Building. After all, Spirit Buildings were simply too expensive—even Golden Core Stage cultivators found them difficult to afford. Being able to build a Yellow Grade Low-tier Spirit Building was already no easy feat.

When Lu Jiuyuan and Lu Xuan entered, the shop owner quickly came up to them.

"May I ask what I can do for you two guests?"

"We want to build a Spirit Building."

Without hesitation, Lu Xuan stated it bluntly. Upon hearing this, the shop owner's expression grew even more excited.

After all, those who could afford to build Spirit Buildings were no ordinary people.

"Please wait a moment, esteemed guests. I'll fetch the catalog."

With that, the shop owner hurriedly brought over a thick book and handed it to Lu Xuan.

"Our Tianling Spirit Building Shop is the largest Spirit Building Shop in all of Tianling Prefecture. As long as you have the money, we can build even Immortal Grade Spirit Buildings for you."

The shop owner spoke with a smile. Lu Jiuyuan nodded at this. Tianling Spirit Building Shop truly was the largest Spirit Building Shop in Tianling Prefecture. Meanwhile, Lu Xuan began flipping through the complete catalog of Spirit Buildings.

With his current resources, he could at most build himself a Yellow Grade Top-tier Spirit Building. Even so, the price remained staggering—one square meter alone cost a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

After making their selection and finalizing the order, once the shop learned that it was for the Lu Family, they quickly calculated the exact price.

"Senior Lu, according to your plans, this project will likely require over ten million low-grade Spirit Stones."

The shop owner spoke carefully. Lu Xuan responded by tossing out a storage ring.

"According to the rules, I'll pay half the deposit first. The remaining half will be settled after completion."

Lu Xuan spoke calmly. The shop owner accepted the storage ring and swept it with his divine sense. Inside were exactly one hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones. He hurriedly said with a smile,

"Rest assured, Senior. We will complete it within a week."

Only after signing the contract did Lu Xuan leave Tianling Spirit Building Shop with Lu Jiuyuan.

"Tsk, tsk. The Lu Family was wiped out by the Chen Family not long ago. I heard only the Lu Family Young Master survived. Who would have thought that the Lu Family Young Master still had a grandpa alive? And judging from his aura, his cultivation has probably reached the Nascent Soul Stage."

The shop owner clicked his tongue in amazement, while a Golden Core Stage aura spread from his body.

After leaving Tianling Spirit Building Shop, Lu Jiuyuan looked at Lu Xuan curiously.

"Grandpa, how are you so rich?"

Spirit Stones were exceedingly precious. Even his father, pooling the strength of the entire lineage, might not have been able to produce one hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones.

"Over the years, your grandpa has wandered beyond Qingfeng Town and encountered quite a few opportunities. Isn't it perfectly normal for me to have a few Spirit Stones on hand?"

Lu Xuan smiled and shook his head. Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan could only stop pressing the matter. It was enough for him to know that Lu Xuan would not harm him.

"Since we still have a week, and you don't have a cultivation technique yet, I can let you cultivate that technique."

Lu Xuan spoke with a mysterious expression, making Lu Jiuyuan curious as well.

"A cultivation technique?"

"Yes, but this is not a good place to talk. Let's find somewhere suitable first."

After saying that, Lu Xuan led Lu Jiuyuan away.

At the same time, in the Yuanwu Kingdom's imperial palace, King Li, who was in secluded cultivation, had already received Uncle Li's message.

"Hm? Heavenly Dao's Blessing awakened a Heaven Grade Top-tier talent and reached the twelfth level of the Body Tempering Realm? We must befriend this person. No, I shall make the trip myself."

After speaking, King Li rose directly to his feet and hurried toward Qingfeng Town. What King Li had not expected, however, was that the Yin Demon Sect had learned of this news as well.

"Ke ke ke, a Heaven Grade Top-tier talent, and the twelfth level of the Body Tempering Realm? If we can bring this child into my Yin Demon Sect, we will surely surpass the Yuanwu Kingdom in one stroke and swallow the Yuanwu Kingdom whole!"

The Yin Demon Sect's sect master, the Yin Demon King, had received the news from the spy he had planted within the Yuanwu Kingdom. Without hesitation, he set off toward Qingfeng Town.

This child could not be allowed to slip away. Perhaps he could let the Yin Demon Sect advance another step.

At this moment, Lu Jiuyuan still did not know that King Li and the Yin Demon King were both rushing toward Qingfeng Town because of him.

Led by Lu Xuan, Lu Jiuyuan arrived at a cultivation chamber. The spiritual energy within was far denser than outside, though naturally, the cost was also very high.

A Yellow Grade Top-tier cultivation chamber cost one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones per hour.

"Grandpa, can you tell me what cultivation technique it is now?"

Lu Jiuyuan was rather curious, while Lu Xuan rummaged through his storage ring and took out a stone.

"A stone?"

Lu Jiuyuan was startled by the sight. Could a stone possibly contain a cultivation technique?

"That's right. Don't be fooled by its appearance—this stone contains a cultivation technique of very high grade. Unfortunately, your grandpa has already cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm. If I changed techniques, I would need to cripple my cultivation and start over. But you are different. You happen to have no cultivation, so you can cultivate this technique."

Lu Xuan sighed. He did not have the courage to cripple his own cultivation. As he spoke, he handed the stone to Lu Jiuyuan.

"Grip this stone tightly and try to communicate with it. If you are fated with it, you will obtain the cultivation technique within."

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan gripped the stone with a solemn expression and began trying to establish a connection with it. Yet under the blessing of his fortune, he quickly formed a connection with the stone.

The stone began to tremble violently, while Lu Jiuyuan was drawn into a dilapidated space.

"Where... exactly is this?"

Lu Jiuyuan looked over the vast space and muttered. Looking down, he found himself floating in the void. When he raised his head again, a small stone had appeared before him at some unknown moment.

"Kid, you're quite interesting!"

What Lu Jiuyuan had not expected was for the stone to speak.

"Ah! What the hell? A stone can actually talk."

Although Lu Jiuyuan knew this was a fantasy world, seeing something other than a human speak for the first time still shocked him greatly.

Upon hearing Lu Jiuyuan's words, the stone clearly became somewhat emotional.

"Kid, what, is a talking stone so strange? There are plenty of stranger things in this world."
