Chapter 343 - 155: My Son Ping’an Has the Talent of a Martial Saint!_3
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng sighed.
Li Feiyu had mentioned before that he planned to venture into the Azure Phoenix Immortal City.
However, prior to that, he would gain experience in other places and get a glimpse of the Cultivation World.
Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected that by the time Li Feiyu returned from his cultivation journey, he himself would just happen to be away for Foundation Establishment, causing the two of them to miss meeting each other again.
“Brother Li must have experienced quite a lot on this journey,”
“Moreover, with Brother Li’s temperament, he might even make a name for himself and establish his Immortal Foundation.”
Knowing the deep relationship between Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu, clearly better than the one with himself, Hong Yi spoke out to console him.
He then spoke of some changes in Li Feiyu.
He indicated that Li Feiyu was indeed extraordinary; having been out cultivating for over two years, his Cultivation Level was about to break through the Sixth Level Energy Refinement.
But hearing this, Lu Changsheng felt even heavier at heart.
In the Cultivation World, if one wants to quickly improve one’s Cultivation Level, the options are Spiritual Medicines, Elixir Medicines, or fortuitous opportunities.
Li Feiyu’s acquisition of resources certainly couldn’t have come from his few skills as a Spirit Plant Gatherer or a Spiritual Butcher.
It must have been earned through risking his life.
After chatting for a long while, the two parted ways.
Walking on the way home, Lu Changsheng looked at the vast, turbulent canal behind the Lu Residence and suddenly let out a deep sigh.
“Life is as the tidal flows and people as water; only to lament how few return from the rivers and lakes.”
…
After arriving home, Lu Changsheng, somewhat melancholic, saw his children and realized how quickly time passes.
The older ones had grown up to his shoulder height.
“Ping’an, what are your plans for the future?”
Lu Changsheng, with his arm around his son Lu Ping’an’s shoulder, asked.
He knew that he had been somewhat negligent as a father.
When Lu Ping’an and the younger ones were small, he had been more attentive.
But as the children grew older and more numerous, the less attention he paid.
Usually, on a whim when he had spare time, he would show some concern.
“Dad, you’ve said ‘read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.’ I’m thinking of traveling in a few years to see the world,”
Lu Ping’an, unsure why his father was suddenly asking this, scratched his head and spoke somewhat embarrassedly.
As the saying goes, one should not travel far while one’s parents are alive.
Being the eldest son at home, he felt such behavior was not quite appropriate.
But since his father asked, he didn’t hold back.
“It would be good for you to travel around,”
“But wait a few more years until you’ve broken through to the Innate Realm before you go,”
Lu Changsheng said.
These children lacked freedom, in fact.
They stayed on Qingzhu Mountain when they were young.
When they were slightly older, they stayed in Ruyi County City.
Their days were filled with studying and practicing martial arts, with rare opportunities to go out.
Wanting to go out and explore the world is normal.
He wouldn’t stop them from doing such a thing.
After all, the children were growing up and should become independent.
This kind of experience is part of the necessary journey of growth.
The reason he mentioned the Innate Realm is that Innate Martial Artists can use Innate True Qi to activate First Grade low and middle-grade talismans.
By then, he would be much more at ease with Lu Ping’an traveling in the jianghu.
“Yes, Dad, I should be able to break through to the Innate Realm in at most three years,”
Lu Ping’an said with some excitement.
He had recently become a first-rate master in the martial artists’ community.
One more step, and he would be an innate master of the jianghu.
So, in his view, his father’s requirement was not difficult.
“Good, my son Ping’an has the qualities of a Martial Saint!”
Lu Changsheng, upon hearing this, patted his son’s shoulder and teased.
When Li Feiyu became a first-rate master at eighteen, he was considered a genius.
Now his son had become a first-rate master at thirteen.
However, Lu Changsheng was also aware that his son’s martial talent had little to do with his aptitude.
Three parts training, seven parts feeding!
Purely thanks to his own older father spending money.
“Martial Saint, Dad, is Martial Saint a martial realm above the great masters of the Innate Realm?”
Lu Ping’an, upon hearing this, immediately asked.
He had heard that the great martial masters could compare to some cultivators.
Now hearing about this Martial Saint, he became curious.
He wanted to know if a Martial Saint was as formidable as a cultivator.
“It should be, right?”
Lu Changsheng said offhandedly.
He was just making a playful guess, not knowing anything about a Martial Saint.
He didn’t expect that his son, who was missing a beat, would actually not catch the joke and instead asked him if there was a martial realm called Martial Saint.
But looking into his son’s eyes, he roughly understood what his son was thinking.
Although the children had accepted the reality that they didn’t have Spiritual Roots and couldn’t cultivate, they still harbored fantasies about it.
He let out a slight sigh and changed the subject, “Ping’an, if there’s anything you lack, like when breaking through to the Innate Realm, isn’t there something called the Innate Elixir?”
“If I’m not around, you can go directly to Uncle Hong and ask for it when the time comes, don’t be shy.”
“Also, when you plan to go out, don’t just run off without saying hello, remember to write me a letter to let me know.”
Lu Changsheng said to his son.
“Don’t worry, Dad, I understand,”
Lu Ping’an nodded and said.
Lu Changsheng patted his son’s shoulder.
He was quite confident in his eldest son, who had an honest character and would listen to what he said.
“Wuyou, Wuyu, what are your plans for the future?”
Lu Changsheng then turned to his other two children and asked.
“Dad, I also want to travel the jianghu, but I don’t know how many years it will take to break through to the Innate Realm, so maybe I’ll go with Brother Ping’an,”
Lu Wuyou said, grinning.
“That depends on whether your brother Ping’an is willing to take you,”
“Besides, your brother Ping’an hasn’t even traveled far himself yet, and then he’d have to carry you, a burden.”
Lu Changsheng, hearing his daughter’s words, laughed and said.
“No worries, if Wuyou sister wants to brave the jianghu, let me go out and check it first. Then I’ll come back and accompany sister Wuyou together,
