Within the Lu Family Ancestral Hall.
The dim spiritual fire continuously weakened, occasionally emitting crackling noises.
The Lu Family Patriarch, 'Lu Cidi,' was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, already over a hundred and fifty years old, with a face full of wrinkles, short stature, resembling an old farmer, with a Magic Artifact 'Jade Mouth Pipe' in his mouth, inside which 'Purple Smoke Grass' was continuously burning, emitting intoxicating smoke.
At this moment, it was the time for the Lu Clan to gather for a clan meeting.
Lu Xiaoming was also present, his expression fluctuating along with the ember glow on the patriarch's pipe.
"Xiao Ba, how is it going?"
Lu Cidi took another puff of smoke before speaking.
"I have already sent the family members to urge all the businesses, basically cleaning out all our savings to scrape together three thousand five hundred and sixty-seven Spirit Stones."
