Lu Xuanping tested the lion puppet again and found that it was not much different from the previous humanoid puppet. However, he did not use it at full power this time. After all, it would cost a lot of spirit stones to use it at full power.

Afterwards, Lu Xuanping and Lu Xuanhai returned to their family together. When they reached Chongming Peak, they separated. Lu Xuanhai went to give Chen Yi a gift.

Looking at the drastically changed Chongming Peak in front of him, Lu Xuanping could still slightly see some of its original traces.

Afterwards, Lu Xuanping came to his cave. Looking at the extremely simple interior of the cave, Lu Xuanping didn't know whether to laugh or say anything. He came back this time just to do some simple things and then go to Taihang Market again. After all, the business in Taihang Market is still quite important, so there is no need to clean up the cave.

But this cave is empty anyway, so why not plant some spiritual herbs!

As for asking the family to cancel his cave, I'm afraid no one would be willing to do so. After all, if you don't even have a cave in your family's residence, then where is this person's heart? Will he and the family still be of the same mind? These concerns are what the family has to think about.

Lu Xuanping spent some time to open up a medicine garden in the cave and planted seeds, all of which were seeds of second-grade spiritual herbs.

I didn't have much time to come back, so the seeds I bought were very easy to grow. After spending some time planting the seeds, Lu Xuanping went to the top of the mountain to pay his respects to his great grandfather.

Uncle Xuanhai had already told me about the family's arrangement. The Qi training disciples lived at the foot of the mountain, the foundation building practitioners lived on the mountainside, and the Golden Core True Person naturally lived on the top of the mountain.

When they reached the top of the mountain, Lu Xuanping first bowed and then used the sound transmission talisman to convey the message to his great grandfather.

Soon the formation outside Lu Xuanyuan's cave opened, and Lu Xuanping entered the cave.

Lu Xuanyuan sat down at the table calmly, and saw Lu Xuanping coming in, "Xuanping, why did you want to come back?"

Lu Xuanping sat opposite his great-grandfather and started chatting, then briefly explained what happened at the previous auction.

Hearing about the thunder beads, Lu Xuanyuan reacted, "Oh, the thunder beads were indeed made by me. Taihang Zhenren asked our four Jindan families to offer some rare auction items, so I made these thunder beads as auction items. The Chi family did offer a few magic weapon materials. And Taihang Zhenren himself offered a "talisman treasure."

"Even Master Taihang has released a treasure, how can we not go and show our support!"

Lu Xuanping asked the previous question, "Great Grandpa, why did Master Taihang refine so many elixirs since he couldn't use them?"

"I don't know about that either. After returning from the secret realm, True Man Taihang told several of us Jindan True Men to be well prepared, as there might be a crisis in the next ten years or so. When asked what the crisis might be, he didn't elaborate." Lu Xuanyuan replied with a frown.

"As for the pretender, I guess he heard the news and made a disguise to collect these consumables in case of an emergency."

Lu Xuanping thought about the prelude to the mission to destroy demons. It was obvious that this matter was still related to the evil ways, but hadn’t all the demons in the vortex sea been eliminated?

Lu Xuanping decided to go back and improve his cultivation. After all, no matter how many hardships you face, you can overcome them with just your strength.

Then Lu Xuanyuan began to explain to Lu Xuanping the changes in the family over the past few months.

First, the original Jindan cultivators of the Wang and Huo families died, and then the Lu family had new Jindan cultivators. Naturally, they did not dare to offend them.

When the Lu family proposed to buy the spiritual veins, each of them sold a third-grade spiritual vein. Now the Lu family's spiritual veins are enough to support the practice of Lu Xuanyuan, a Jindan Zhenren, and have opened up five more caves for foundation-building cultivators.

There were still some spaces left, so Chen Yi used these spaced spiritual veins to build several secret rooms to provide for outstanding Qi training disciples, and they were linked to the Lu family's contribution points.

In fact, the Lu family's contribution utilization rate is extremely low. On the one hand, the family was in trouble and there were really not so many things for them. On the other hand, the Lu family was originally hiding on Chongming Island and could not expand outward. Now that they can expand outward, if the contribution can only be used to watch the exercises, it is probably difficult to gather the centripetal force of the family, so it is necessary to issue some spiritual stones as rewards to encourage cultivation.

Lu Xuanping knew very well that these things were all suggestions from Aunt Chen Yi. It seemed that she had quite good business skills.

Lu Xuanyuan heard Lu Xuanhai bargaining for a price to buy a magic weapon as a gift for Chen Yi.

Haha laugh.

"Xuan Ping, when can you find someone to give you a gift like this?"

When Lu Xuanping heard his great-grandfather say this, he was embarrassed on the spot. He really didn't think about these things.

So he took out the top-grade blood essence and changed the subject in front of his great grandfather.

"Grandpa, this is the top-grade blood essence I obtained in the Four Lakes Secret Realm. After taking it, it can purify your mana and is beneficial for breaking through the Nascent Soul stage. This is a gift from your grandson for your advancement. Here is how to take it."

Lu Xuanyuan was not surprised that Lu Xuanping changed the subject, but when he heard about the high-grade blood essence, his face became heavy. "This thing is extremely valuable. If the Jindans knew about it, they would probably snatch it away."

So he didn't refuse and took it and said, "I'll take this!"

Lu Xuanping saw his grandfather smile with satisfaction after accepting it. He then handed his great grandfather 15 low-grade blood essences and asked him to distribute them to the clan. Fearing that his great grandfather would mention the matter of Taoist partners again, he left the cave under the pretext of delivering blood essences to his third uncle.

Lu Xuanyuan watched Lu Xuanping leave. He couldn't help but sigh that after only a few years, this kid Lu Xuanping had already started hiding things from him. However, looking at the blood essence, he knew that Lu Xuanping still cared about the family. He only needed to know that Lu Xuanping would not do anything bad to the family. That was enough.

He planned to keep this high-grade blood essence and give it to Lu Xuanping after he breaks through the golden elixir. Now it would be a disaster to put it in his hands. Then he closed his eyes and quietly used his magic power to polish a flag in his dantian.

After leaving Chongming Peak, Lu Xuanping went to his third uncle's residence. When Lu Di saw Lu Xuanping coming, he hurriedly ended his practice.

Others in the family have heard many legends about Lu Xuanping. He not only solved big problems for their family, but also earned a lot of spirit stones. The expansion of the spiritual vein and secret room on Chongming Peak was contributed by Lu Xuanping. Because of Lu Xuanping's contribution, he can now enter the secret room for seven days every month to practice.

The Third Uncle led Lu Xuanping to sit in the pavilion. The Third Uncle sniffed and looked at the two boxes that Lu Xuanping was carrying with shining eyes. "Spirit wine or purple fruit juice?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Uncle, I told you I would bring some wine when I come back next time." Lu Xuanping said with a smile, "I can't go home more than twice a year, so I brought some wine this time. Besides, this [Purple Fruit Dew] is not expensive for me."

"Hehe, I, Lu Di, have a good nephew. These two boxes of [Purple Fruit Dew] must be worth three hundred spirit stones."

Uncle San took it directly and each of them took out a bottle of [Purple Fruit Dew].

"This [Purple Fruit Dew] is worth thirty spirit stones per bottle. This bottle is enough for me to work for a year. I can't bear to buy it myself."

Lu Xuanping also laughed. He worked hard for the happiness of his family. He didn't drink just for his uncle.

These two boxes of wine cost him more than four hundred spirit stones.

"Come on, do it"

The wine was poured, and the uncle and nephew chatted while drinking.

"Uncle San, I accidentally found a treasure in the Four Lakes Secret Realm." Lu Xuanping said.

"Treasure?" Uncle San asked.

"This treasure is a blood essence..." Lu Xuanping began to describe in detail some of the abilities and effects of this blood essence . "Uncle, I have already reached the foundation building stage. This low-grade blood essence is useless to me, so I thought of you, Uncle."

"Haha, you remembered your uncle." Uncle San laughed, and he laughed happily.

In Lu Di's opinion, Xuan Ping must have suffered a lot in the secret realm, and this blood essence is probably the spoils of war. Xuan Ping is not six years old anymore, and he needs to grow up under his protection, so there is no need to please him. This can only be said to be Xuan Ping's sincerity.

"In that case, I'll take it." Uncle San held up the wine glass and said directly, "I'm taking advantage of you."

"Don't worry, Third Uncle. I also left a part of it with my great grandfather, but the origin of this thing is mysterious. You can use it yourself and don't tell anyone else. Just say that I gave you the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Uncle San's face was also full of smiles when he heard this.

Then Lu Xuanping took out two more magic weapons. Both were top-grade magic weapons. He said to his uncle, "These two magic weapons are for you to protect yourself. I won't need them myself."

"I'll take your treasure, but forget about this magic weapon."

Finally, after a meal and a few drinks, Lu Di accepted Lu Xuanping's gift.
