Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 55: The Opening of the Ruins (Part 1)
Inside the Qingping Hall.
Lu Zhou, who had a serious face at first, seemed to change his expression after Lu Qingshan left. He said to Lu Beidao with a teasing look in his eyes.
"Qing Ling, your son is very much like you. His reckless demeanor is exactly the same as yours back then."
Lu Bei's expression remained unchanged, and he asked, "I wonder if the Great Elder is enjoying playing the villain?"
"You failed to scare me back then, and today you can't even scare my son. You really haven't made any progress in all these years, Great Elder."
Thirty or forty years ago, his talent began to show, but he was not very interested in cultivation. At that time, he was also summoned to Qingping Palace by Lu Yuan and Lu Zhou for a talk.
The situation on that day was the same as it is now, the Great Elder acted as the bad guy and scolded and threatened him, while the head of the family Lu Yuan was responsible for comforting him and acting as the good guy.
Unfortunately, he was not afraid at all at that time, which made the two Jindan cultivators suffer a setback.
The elder Lu Zhou's face froze. "You are already in your sixties, why are you still so frivolous and annoying?"
…
Seeing that Lu Bei had won a small victory in the verbal battle between the two, Lu Yuan quickly interrupted and asked, "What do you think this kid meant by saying that he doesn't need any resources from the family to support him?"
Lu Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps someone will provide him with the necessary training resources?"
Lu Yuan quickly reacted: "You mean... Zhishou Tower?"
Lu Zhou nodded. "If Zhishou Tower provides cultivation resources, then they will naturally look down on our Lu family's resources."
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "But why did Zhishoulou like this boy?"
Why would Zhishou Tower, with such a powerful force, fall for a mortal with average talent?
He couldn't understand.
"We three Jindan cultivators are above, and he is a junior below, but he can still talk freely and not be humble or overbearing. Facing my angry rebuke, he still keeps his face unchanged. With such a demeanor and such a person, why can Zhishoulou look down on him?"
“Lu Yuan, don’t subconsciously ignore his shining points just because he is a junior. If you lead the Lu family with this kind of self-righteous mentality, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later.” Lu Zhou’s face darkened as he taught him a lesson.
Lu Yuan was silent for a while, and finally nodded slowly: "The elder is teaching me that I didn't have the right attitude."
Lu Zhou thought for a moment, and then instructed, "Although this little bastard claims that he doesn't need the support of family resources, my Lu family has no reason to mistreat our own children. Tell someone to send him the resources he deserves later. The amount will be distributed according to the normal amount given to a Qi Refining Level 10 disciple, and there is no need for special treatment."
…
Lu Qingshan returned to the Lu family at the time when the Xu Realm was opened.
So after the discussion in Qingping Palace, he rested in the garment workshop for only two days before he received a message asking him to gather at Xuanyue Square in the Lu family's blessed land and prepare to set off for the ruins world.
After leaving behind a storage bag full of elixirs and spirit stones, Lu Qingshan said goodbye to Lu Zhi and Lu Xun.
He won't be back for a long time.
Xuanyue Square.
When Lu Qingshan arrived, seven Lu family cultivators had already gathered there.
Among them, there are six Qi-refining cultivators and one foundation-building cultivator.
Including Lu Qingshan, there are eight people in total.
These are all the people that the Lu family sent to the Ruins this time.
Each time the Ruins Realm is opened, it can accommodate one hundred and eighty Qi-refining monks and forty-eight foundation-building monks.
The Xujie Alliance has a total of thirty-six cultivation families.
There is no way to distribute the places evenly.
In fact, even if it can be distributed equally, it will not be divided in this way.
Because although they are collectively known as the Thirty-Six Great Cultivation Families, there is still a ranking between each family based on strength.
If you let the number one-ranked cultivation family have the same quota as the last-ranked cultivation family, do you think this family would be willing?
The number of places in the Xu Realm that each family has is divided according to the family's strength.
The Lu family ranked in the middle among the thirty-six cultivation families, and was allocated seven places for Qi Refining cultivators and one place for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Very standard, very close to the average.
As soon as Lu Qingshan arrived, the other cultivators all looked at him sideways.
The Lu family’s own quota for the Xu Realm had already been decided long ago.
Two days before the Linxu Realm opened, Lu Qingshan suddenly cut in line, and naturally a Qi-refining cultivator who originally had a quota was squeezed out of his position.
Everyone was also extremely curious about who could get the family to open such a backdoor for him.
Human nature.
So Lu Qingshan didn't care about the gazes from others.
…
The wait wasn't long.
In less than half an hour, a ray of light flashed, and then the great elder Lu Zhou landed in front of everyone.
He is the one leading the team this time.
Lu Zhou glanced around at everyone on the field and saw that everyone was already there.
"The time has come, let's go." Lu Zhou glanced at Lu Qingshan in a very subtle way and said indifferently.
As he spoke, Lu Zhou took out a very miniature boat-shaped mold from his storage ring, opened his hand, and released his spiritual power.
The boat-shaped mold suddenly grew larger, and finally turned into a giant wooden boat, appearing in front of everyone.
[Qingxia Wooden Boat], a special multi-person flying magical device.
Lu Zhou flew to the ship.
"Come up, everyone."
Following Lu Zhou's instructions, the other cultivators on the field jumped up one after another.
After everyone got on board, the wooden boat, under the control of Lu Zhou, took off into the air at a very fast speed and went straight into the distance.
The entrance to the Xujie is still quite a distance away from the Qianzhou Mountains where the Lu family is located.
After flying for about two hours, a majestic mountain range came into view.
Dayan Mountains.
The entrance to the world of ruins.
Lu Zhou piloted the Qingxia wooden boat and landed in front of a huge tiankeng shrouded in mist.
After everyone got off the boat, the Qingxia wooden boat turned into a mini wooden boat and was put into Lu Zhou's storage ring.
In order to occupy the Xujie, every family in the Xujie Alliance sent several family monks to be stationed here to prevent outsiders from entering.
A cultivator from the Lu family who was stationed here had already received the news and had been waiting here for a long time, waiting for Lu Zhou to lead the team to arrive.
The monks of the Lu family who were waiting here saw Lu Zhou and immediately greeted him respectfully: "Grand Elder."
"No need to be so polite. How many families are here now?" Lu Zhou asked with concern.
"Reporting to the Great Elder, a total of 23 families have arrived, and we are the 24th."
Lu Zhou nodded. "It's neither too early nor too late. It's just right. Let's go in first."
Lu Zhou stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the clouds ahead.
Soon the clouds and mist dissipated to both sides, leaving a small path.
Lu Zhou took the lead and walked in first.
Lu Qingshan and others followed quickly.
When they walked into the tiankeng and saw the scene clearly, the Lu family cultivator beside Lu Qingshan couldn't help but let out a cry.
The scene before my eyes was really a bit mysterious.
A huge, pitch-black passage that seemed to be rotating stood in front of them.
At this moment, the open space in front of the passage was already bustling with more than a hundred monks gathered there.
Only Lu Qingshan remained calm .
It's nothing, I'm used to it.
He is really familiar with this place .
At this moment, this place is called the entrance to the ruins world.
However, in the game "Jiutian", the full name of Xujie is [Xujie Copy] (Normal/Elite).
Normal difficulty only allows Qi Refining players to enter, and elite difficulty only allows Foundation Establishment players to enter.
He has downloaded this [Ruins of the Realm Dungeon] at least ten times.
If the plot develops according to plan, the Xujie Alliance will only be able to dominate the Xujie for three years.
In other words, this time will be the last time that the Xujie Alliance will monopolize the Xujie quota.
By the end of the year, the Corpse Puppets Rebellion broke out and the major cultivation families were unable to take care of themselves.
Some families were unlucky and suffered heavy losses. Several high-level Jindan monks died, and they were no longer able to occupy the blessed mountain area containing high-quality spiritual veins.
Some families also annexed the severely damaged family sects and took advantage of the situation to rise again.
By then, it will be the time for all the major forces to reshuffle, and all the major families will be busy competing for resources such as spirit veins and fighting each other. Naturally, the Xujie Alliance will fall apart and cease to exist.
