“Core Formation Peak.”

Even though Lu Changsheng had anticipated it, he still couldn’t help but be surprised.

He took a deep breath and said, “I suppose Friend Wuhen and Friend Cloud Dream have seen that my wife and I are not at the Initial or Middle Stage of Core Formation.”

Both Meng Wuheng and his wife Cloud Dream nodded.

“But truth be told, while traversing this place, my wife and I encountered a spatial storm and suffered considerable injuries.”

“It will take quite some time to fully recover and return to peak form. If we exert ourselves fully, it will come at a significant cost.”

Lu Changsheng sighed, cupped his hands, and said.

“Injured?”

Meng Wuheng paused and asked, “In that case, how is Lord Wang’s combat strength currently? What are the odds against a Fourth Rank Demon King?”

“If I give it my all, tapping into my trump cards, unleashing Core Formation Peak combat power is not an issue.”

“However, my wife’s injuries are more severe, so she can’t use her peak strength, only assist. But my spiritual pet has combat power not inferior to the Third Rank Peak.”

Lu Changsheng calmly voiced.

After speaking, he shifted the conversation, “Concerning this matter, Friend Wuhen will need to give a detailed plan. Otherwise, if we join forces and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King escapes, it will be all for naught, and Lord Wang will be left empty-handed.”

“Such matters inevitably carry certain risks. As long as Friend Wang and the spiritual pet can hold the line, my wife and I have Magical Treasures means to restrain this Deep Sea Demon Whale King, ensuring success.”

“If unsuccessful, my wife and I will compensate the two Daoists.”

Meng Wuhen said gravely.

He didn’t want too many people knowing about this affair, fearing the involvement of a Nascent Soul True Lord.

Otherwise, in exchange for the Great Dream Immortal City, they might be able to enlist a Nascent Soul True Lord from the Heavenly Sword Sect to act.

“Alas, very well, the two Daoists are sincere, and we do indeed need a Spiritual Land Dojo to reside. We’ll take the risk and attempt it.”

Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian exchanged a glance, communicated silently with their Divine Sense for a while, then sighed and said.

“Rest assured, this matter will not cause the two Daoists any loss.”

Meng Wuhen and his wife exchanged glances and said aloud.

Soon both parties formalized their agreement on a Third Rank Spiritual Contract, discussing the details.

Unfortunately, due to the gravity of the matter, Lu Changsheng and Meng Wuheng did not wish to disclose it externally.

Otherwise, Lu Changsheng could use the Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s token to request this leading Loose Cultivator of the Jiang Country.

The four of them, combined with the Azure Phoenix True Monarch, would surely secure success.

Much later, after discussions on both sides, the contract was completed.

Wang Lin and Li Muwan assisted Meng Wuheng and Cloud Dream True Man in hunting the Fourth Rank Deep Sea Demon Whale King!

If successful, the Great Dream Immortal City and all its assets would belong to Wang Lin and Li Muwan.

During their management of the Immortal City, they must maintain Xuanxuan’s Cave Mansion for a hundred years.

During this period, should Xuanxuan return to the Immortal City, resources worth ten million Spirit Stones must be provided to support her, payable over ten years.

Also, within their lifetime, they should assist Xuanxuan three times to the best of their ability.

If the hunt fails, the agreement is void.

The Meng Wuheng couple must compensate the Wang Lin couple with one Third Rank Cave Mansion in the Inner City, three shops, and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures worth a million Spirit Stones.

“That being the case, Daoists, see you in the Immortal City in a year.”

The parties discussed some more details, then agreed to act a year later.

Hunting a Fourth Rank Demon King is no small task.

Even though the Meng Wuheng couple have long been planning, they still need time to prepare.

Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian also need time to prepare.

For example, Lu can pick up his long-neglected Talisman Formation skills and refine them.

This year, Hong Lian will also enhance her Magical Treasure means.

And in this year, see if his children can be promising enough to surprise him with some treasure methods.

…

Half a month later, Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian quietly returned to Bi Lake Mountain.

After reaching an agreement with Meng Wuheng and Cloud Dream True Man, Lu Changsheng acquired numerous Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, and rare materials through them.

Under normal circumstances, many rare materials come with premiums, with prices but no market, not sold externally.

However, to show goodwill and form relationships, the couple sold a good amount of rare materials to Lu Changsheng.

This further solidified Lu Changsheng’s resolve to take control of the Great Dream Immortal City.

Owning an Immortal City and accessing resources, the avenues and channels are vastly broader!

These resources are enough to support one person, or even two, to cultivate to the Core Formation Late Stage!

The Lu Family isn’t lacking resources now.

But the cultivation resources for Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and others aren’t particularly high.

They’re not even as substantial as the resources Lu Changsheng spent on Lu Ping’an.

Even the Spirit Stones Lu Wangshu brought back from outside are more significant.

If he controls the Great Dream Immortal City, Lu Changsheng can definitely elevate the resources for his wife, concubines, and outstanding children to another level!

“Husband, Lord, Senior Hong Lian.”

Once they arrived at Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven, Lu Miaoge and Ling Zixiao immediately sensed it.

“Sister Miaoge, Zi Xiao.”

With a bright smile, Lu Changsheng embraced the two women.

Then he shared his harvest from this journey and took gifts out of the Qiankun Shadow-Confining Belt for them.

“Sister Miaoge, this is a demon beast egg of a Water Qilin descendant. I’m not sure of its specifics, but it matches your cultivation technique’s attributes. You can nurture it with mana daily, try hatching it as a spiritual pet…”

“Zi Xiao, this is a Third Rank Pearl, wearing it long-term nourishes the physical body, refines mana, and provides immunity to all poisons…”

Though he couldn’t ensure absolute fairness, Lu Changsheng would still try to be fair.

“Little Chan, you’re here too.”

“Come, come, my trip to the Great Dream Marsh was quite fruitful…”

Upon seeing Meng Xiaochan emerge from the Cave Mansion, Lu Changsheng immediately waved and called out.
