Jiang Country, Qing Province, Zhoushan Mansion.

A youth, a young man, an old man, appeared out of thin air in a desolate and dilapidated courtyard, overgrown with weeds.

“Is this my home? How did my home become like this!?”

The young man frowned slightly as he looked at the ruined courtyard before him.

It was clear that this courtyard had been uninhabited for a long time.

Qu Changge couldn’t help feeling a sense of ominous foreboding as he looked at the scene before him.

He quickly circled the yard and then ran to the main entrance to confirm that this was indeed his home.

“Why would my parents move without reason?”

“Even if they moved, they wouldn’t just abandon the house like this.”

Qu Changge muttered to himself in a low voice, but a wrenching pain surged in his heart, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably, and his dark red eyes glowed with a bloody light as if they were filled with undried fresh blood.

Trying to suppress the throbbing pain in his heart, he ran to the street and asked passersby what had happened to the Qu family.

But the passersby who saw his blood-red, dull eyes all reacted like startled rabbits, their faces changing drastically in fear as they ran away.

Finally, a trembling vendor spoke out.

“No one knows what sins the Qu family committed, but a year ago, the entire family was murdered. As far as I know, the case remains unsolved to this day.”

As the words fell.

Boom!

Qu Changge felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his brain seemed to explode.

He stumbled and half-knelt on the ground, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood.

“No, no, no!!! Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!”

He couldn’t believe it, mumbling in denial as images of his kind parents, his clever and innocent little sister, floated through his mind.

He refused to believe that his parents, his sister, Uncle Xu, and Auntie had all died.

But the reality was right in front of him, leaving him with no rationale for explanation.

“Ah!!!

Qu Changge let out a heart-wrenching howl to the sky, his eyes splitting with rage, and tears of blood streamed down his face, full of sorrow.

His face twisted in pain, and a crescent moon-like red lotus appeared on his forehead, oozing with blood, allowing strands of bloody aura in his body to run wild, and behind him, the phantom of a three-headed, six-armed figure emerged in blood.

Even more alarming was that his black hair turned white at a visible rate.

“As expected of the Demonic Spirit Root, merely baptized by the blood of the Demon Lord and without even starting cultivation or full integration, he can already stimulate the demonic blood lying dormant within.”

In the courtyard, the youth looked at Qu Changge’s condition and chuckled lightly.

“Elder, won’t he think that we had someone do this and thus harbor resentment towards us?”

The old man asked cautiously.

“What of resentment? Resentment gives motivation.”

“With this child’s potential, just a bit of diligent cultivation is needed, and within a hundred years, he can condense the Demonic Body. What I want is for him to condense the Demonic Body as fast as possible and to achieve great mastery in it.”

Said the youth indifferently, always with a faint smile on his face.

At this moment, Qu Changge, who had been half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up, gasping for air, his whole body trembling as he clenched his fists and came to the middle of the courtyard.

His face was fierce and his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the youth and the old man and yelled, “Was it you who did this!”

“Insolence!”

Upon hearing Qu Changge’s words, the old man immediately rebuked him, exuding a majestic aura that made Qu Changge feel as if he was carrying a great weight, and he knelt down with a thump, struggling to breathe.

The youth waved his hand and looked at Qu Changge, saying,

“Today, as your teacher, I’ll teach you your first lesson: don’t be impulsive in anything you do; think thrice before you act.”

“What is the significance of you questioning me so impulsively?

“What difference does it make whether it was me or not me?”

“Acts like yours are foolish. Aside from impotent rage, you cause yourself trouble and may ultimately lose your life for nothing, accomplishing nothing in the end.”

“Remember, in this world, only your own strength is eternal!”

“You have the Demonic Spirit Root and are baptized with the blood of the Demon Lord, making you an exceptional talent for the Demon Path.”

“What you need to do now is to bide your time, practise Cultivation in secret, and once you have the strength, you begin investigating the truth and avenging your family.”

“However, since it’s your first offense, as your mentor, I will forgive and forget,”

the youth said in an unhurried tone.

“Alright, now that you have visited home, come with me.”

As the words of the youth fell,

the three of them turned into a divine rainbow and disappeared from the courtyard.

Qingzhu Valley.

Within a manor,

“Hurry not when uninvolved; self-reliant when facing injustice,”

“Peace is best, but if foes rise; strike them first, without surprise,”

“Personal desire leads to woes; live content, then cultivate your soul.”

Lu Changsheng was teaching the Three Character Classic to Lu Ping’an, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Wuyou, the little fellows of the household, using a wooden board.

“My dear, it’s time to eat,”

“What exactly are you teaching them?”

At this moment, Lu Miaoyun came to call Lu Changsheng for dinner.

“They are three or four years old now, so I made up some things for them to read, as a form of enlightenment,”

Lu Changsheng got up with a smile, calling the group of little ones inside to have a meal.

Lu Miaoyun also knew that although her husband came from a peasant family, he was always eager to learn and often read books.

So it was normal for him to compile some phrases for enlightenment.

However, the sentences for enlightenment sounded rather odd to her.

She didn’t pay it much attention, her beautiful face beamed with a sweet smile, “For enlightenment, there’s a White Deer Mountain Villa on Qingzhu Mountain, which has scholars hired from the secular world. You could send Ping’an and the others there for their education.”

“You are busy with many things, my husband; let me take care of this matter,”

Lu Miaoyun said.

“Let’s wait until they’re a bit bigger, and send them all together next year,”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

The White Deer Mountain Villa was within Qingzhu Mountain, not too far away, making it feasible for the wives to take turns picking up and dropping off the children.

After all, he didn’t have much time to teach the children, and it was not certain he could teach them well.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng didn’t have many expectations for the children.

As long as they grew up safely and didn’t cause trouble for him as their father, it was sufficient.

He was not like most parents who wish for their sons to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes.

Mainly because there wasn’t much to hope for.

With the system within him, he knew among these children, only the seventh and seventeenth ones had Spiritual Roots.

The others didn’t have Spiritual Roots and their futures lay within the secular world.

With him as their father, these children would already be better off than ninety percent of ordinary people in the secular world, and hard work could only get them so far.

Of course, he did have some expectations.

He planned for these children to practice martial arts as they grew, to achieve Martial Dao Innate.

Then, to marry and start businesses early, establishing a martial arts family in the secular world, to branch out the Lu Family.

Honestly, with him as their father to support them, these two tasks were not difficult.

As for children like the seventh and seventeenth, Lu Changsheng actually didn’t have high hopes either.

After all, the quality of their Spiritual Roots was there for all to see.

He was very clear about the hardships of cultivating with such Spiritual Roots.

Lu Changsheng didn’t want his children to struggle or suffer too much; moderation was enough.

After all, one can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry; his Lu Family was not in a rush for quick success, focusing instead on a long-term future.

Lu Changsheng didn’t think much of it and went to the dining hall with Lu Miaoyun and the children for dinner.
