Ancestor Above - Chapter 301

301 The Imperial court

Crown prince Li Chengzong’s trusted aide brought two pieces of news.

One was about the attack on the Lu clan’s caravan. The Crown Prince was furious when he heard about it, and the court had already begun to investigate the matter. They would definitely give the Lu clan and the Qingfeng sect an explanation.

Even though he had clearly expressed his attitude, Lu Qing felt that he was not sincere enough when compared to Yunxiao sect.

!!
Moreover, shouldn’t the high ranking officials of the Imperial court be the ones to come forward? even if they didn’t come, shouldn’t they at least give a written explanation? What was the meaning of letting the crown prince’s trusted aide pass this message?

In short, Lu Qing was not satisfied with the Imperial court’s response.

Of course, it was also difficult to put the blame on them because of this-although it was possible that they were the ones who pooped.

The second piece of news from the Crown Prince was an invitation. He hoped that the Lu family could become officials.

This was no longer a matter of official positions. The governor of the Feiyun state, as well as the mayors of anling, Guangyang, and Donghai could all be nominated by the Lu family. Of course, the final selection was still up to the Imperial court and the Emperor of Yan.

However, this was more formal. In the past, no one paid attention to the governor and governor of the Imperial court in the Feiyun state. Even if the Lu clan did not have these official positions, they still had the final say in the Feiyun state.

But no matter what, with these, it would be more legitimate.

In the central government, there were also some positions that could be given to the Lu family.

The Supreme Court was the organization in charge of the pursuit, imprisonment, trial, and law of the Great Yan Dynasty. As the Chief Justice was the superior of the Supreme Court, it seemed to be an unconventional declaration for Lu clan to join this institution: I’ll let your Lu family personally supervise the investigation results of this matter.

It seemed that he was very sincere, but Lu Qing could still see that there was something fishy about it.

It was true that the Lu family could sit in that position, but neither the Lu family nor the Qingfeng sect had much influence in the Imperial court of the Yan Kingdom. What’s the use of just putting a person there? Would they listen to you? If I really did find something and didn’t report it to you, isn’t that the same as putting a puppet there?

Moreover, Lu Qing had another thought.

These official positions were obtained by the Crown Prince. At least, that was how it looked in the Imperial court.

Then, would the Lu family be considered as the crown prince’s firm supporters? Wasn’t this the same as clearly choosing sides between the Crown Prince and the Imperial grandson? However, the Lu clan clearly did not have the intention to get involved in the fight for the throne. It was a huge Whirlpool. Most importantly, Lu Qing did not see many benefits. What would he gain from getting involved?

However, after thinking about it, Lu Qing smiled bitterly.

If the Lu family won the battle in the North barren forest, the Crown Prince would still be alive. The quota for the reflection of the celestial Palace was given to the Lu family by the Crown Prince who had offended the Zhao family. This time, the Crown Prince was actively trying to gain influence for the Lu family in the court.

All these years, after a series of operations, if the Lu family said that they had no relationship with the Crown Prince, that they were neutral in the battle between the Crown Prince and the Imperial grandson, and that no one supported them, who would believe it?

Lu Qing thought about it again and realized that the attack might have something to do with the fight for the throne.

But could the Imperial grandson come up with such a formation? Lu Qing was also a little suspicious.

There was too little information at the moment. Lu Qing felt as if his head was about to explode.

Lu Qing did not give a specific answer to the second matter that the Crown Prince had mentioned. He only asked the crown prince’s trusted aide to rest in the Feiyun state for a period of time and send a letter to li Chengzong, saying that the Lu clan would need some time to consider it. He would inform the Crown Prince of the decision after a while.

It was also during this period of time that Lu mingling of the Lu family had reached the initial enlightenment stage.

He was already at the ninth-tier foundation building realm and was not far from Qiming. In fact, one of the three pieces of divine lightning wood that the Lu clan’s caravan bought when they went south was prepared for him.

When he was attacked, Lu Qing had exchanged for the ” power of initial enlightenment ” for him. He had allowed him to experience the situation of the initial enlightenment stage before he officially broke through. It was obvious that this would be of great help to him in his next breakthrough.

Lu mingling even felt that even if he didn’t use a treasure like the divine Thunder wood, he still had a chance of successfully breaking through.

However, in order to break through in one go and not waste time and opportunities, Ming Ling still used a piece of divine lightning wood.

Otherwise, if he really wanted to break through by force, it would be good if he succeeded. He could save a precious material. However, if he failed, it would be a major blow to Lu mingling’s future. Not only would he need at least ten years to recuperate his body, meridians, and soul, but the probability of the next breakthrough would also be reduced. At that time, he would still have to use a piece of Heavenly Thunder divine wood, and there was also the possibility of failure.

Since that was the case, he might as well get everything done in one go.

In the end, he succeeded.

After Ming Ling became an initial enlightenment cultivator, the number of initial enlightenment cultivators in the Lu clan had reached five. After that, people like Lu Mingjie and Lu xueting also had the potential to enter the initial enlightenment stage.

In addition, the children with double spiritual roots in the family’s reserves were gradually growing up and slowly becoming the backbone of the family. For example, Lu Wenzhong, Lu Wenxian, and Lu fa, who were cultivators with double lightning spiritual roots, were almost at the age of thirty years old, but they had all entered the foundation building level.

Lu Qixing, who had been accepted as Yun Xuan’s direct disciple two years ago and had a single ice spiritual root, had also sent news that he had entered the foundation building stage by himself without using a foundation building pill.

The success rate of breaking through with a single spiritual root without the foundation building pill was very high, and the danger was also very small.

These were all the Lu family’s initial enlightenment disciples and even golden core disciples.

At the moment, the Lu clan had more than 30 foundation building cultivators, including its own main clan and the disciples sent to the sect.

After the battle in the North barren forest, the number of foundation building cultivators in the Lu clan had increased greatly!

Furthermore, the Lu clan would be able to produce foundation building pills continuously in the future. The cultivation of foundation building cultivators would not be cut off and would be passed down.

Of course, in the development of the Lu clan in recent years, Lu Qing paid the most attention to the situation of his daughter, Lu mingchao.

Mingchao’s cultivation level was not much lower than Lu chaoxi’s. Some time had passed since chaoxi had broken through to the Golden core stage. Mingchao had also polished her own cultivation. The demonic core of another peak-grade demonic beast King in the family had also been given to her.

When the external elixir was completed, she would be able to enter the Golden core stage with certainty.

When he thought about this, Lu Qing decided to delay the Crown Prince for a while. He would wait until mingchao attained the Golden core realm before discussing the matter of the Lu clan entering the Imperial court.
