Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

His wives and concubines reacted with mixed feelings upon hearing this news.

They were pleased that Lu Changsheng was taking responsibility for the family\'s enterprise, which was a good thing and demonstrated the Lu Family\'s esteem for him.

The worry stemmed from the fact that Lu Changsheng would be away from home for a long while, which was quite hard for them to bear.

"The Nine Dragons Market is not far from Qingzhu Mountain. When the time comes, I can return home once a month, just like the young miss."

"Once your husband gets acquainted there, I will take you out for a visit too."

Lu Changsheng said to his wives and concubines.

He had always found life in Qingzhu Valley somewhat dull and boring.

The wives and concubines naturally felt the same.

Therefore, if it turned out to be relatively stable in Nine Dragons Market, he thought of bringing a few of his wives and concubines over to stay and have fun, as a way to unwind.

"Thank you, husband."

"Thank you, husband."

The women were very happy to hear this.

"Husband, take Xiao Qing with you when you go," suggested Lu Miaoyun.

"That way, you\'ll have someone to look after you."

Lu Miaoyun spoke up to Lu Changsheng at this point.

"I\'m a grown man; I don\'t need anyone to look after me."

"Besides, you need Xiao Qing to serve you right now," he replied with a wave of his hand, indicating he didn\'t need her to come.

"Mmm~ Husband~ just take Xiao Qing with you~"

"If I can\'t accompany you, let Xiao Qing be by your side, please~"

Lu Miaoyun immediately bit her tender lip, her large watery eyes gazing at Lu Changsheng.

At the same time, she gently shook his arm while leaning against him, cooing sweetly in a tender and charming voice.

"Alright, alright, alright, I\'ll take her, just as you wish, Yun\'er."

Lu Changsheng had always been a man to yield to gentleness rather than force. Seeing his wife\'s coquettish pleading, he indulgently agreed right away.

He guessed that Lu Miaoyun wanted him to take Xiao Qing not only for her company but also to have someone keep an eye on him.

To prevent him from flirting with other women outside and bringing back a flock of women.

However, Lu Changsheng didn\'t mind; he felt it would be fine to take Xiao Qing along.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

He had been served by others for years and would indeed feel unaccustomed in a place without someone to serve him.

Having his own person by his side would be convenient.

Moreover, if he really wanted to take additional concubines, it would make no difference whether Xiao Qing was with him or not.

"But let\'s first see what the situation is like over there before deciding. We don\'t even know what it\'s like right now," Lu Changsheng said, pinching his wife\'s cheek.

After all, he was going there for business.

Bringing a maidservant without knowing anything about the situation would seem as if he were going for pleasure rather than business, and it would leave a poor impression.

"Mhm~"

Seeing her husband agree, Lu Miaoyun immediately gave a sweet and slightly naive smile.

She also understood that preventing her husband from taking new concubines was impossible.

But as a woman and a wife, it wasn\'t possible to just watch and do nothing, either.

That night.

Knowing that Lu Changsheng would leave home in a few days, all his wives and concubines lovingly attended to him with tender care.

After six months of cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, nourishing himself with dietary delicacies, and Spiritual Wine, as well as breaking through to the Forth Level Energy Refinement, Lu Changsheng\'s combat abilities had also greatly increased.

However, faced with the devoted affections and relentless attentions of his wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng was still overwhelmed.

He even suspected that his wives were using this method to remind him not to flirt or take new women in Nine Dragons Market.

"Once I get to Nine Dragons Market, I should put in more effort to complete the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique as soon as possible," he thought.

"Otherwise, if I return home every month, I won\'t be able to withstand it, and I\'ll have no face to take concubines or bring new women back home."

Lu Changsheng lay on his bed, silently musing.

The following day.

Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered his transaction of talismans with Hong Yi.

Every three months, Hong Yi would send someone to trade talismans, and there was a little over a month left until the next trade.

If he went to Nine Dragons Market, he very likely wouldn\'t be at home when the time came.

So, Lu Changsheng informed Lu Miaoyun about the talisman trade and gave her thirty pre-drawn talismans.

He told her to handle the trade with Hong Yi\'s envoy when they arrived.

"Selling some low-quality talismans to a friend isn\'t something worth hiding, the Lu Family knows, then they know," Hong Yi thought to himself.

Moreover, Hong Yi felt that the Lu Family might have known about his affair for quite some time.

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoyun was very clever in her response, assuring Hong Yi that he could rest easy.

Afterward, Hong Yi went to Qingzhu Villa, thinking of having a chat with Li Feiyu to see how he had been recently.

However, when he arrived at Li Feiyu\'s home, Li Feiyu was not there.

Li Feiyu\'s wife told Hong Yi that Li Feiyu had gone farming.

Surprised by this news, Hong Yi was astonished.

After chatting with Li Feiyu\'s wife, he learned that a few months earlier, after Li Feiyu had become proficient as a Spiritual Butcher, he also mastered the skills of a Spirit Planter, the Minor Cloud Rain technique and the Gengjin technique. He then took a job as a spiritual farmer from Uncle Fu.

Not only that, sometimes Li Feiyu would also take on work for refining and processing materials.

Many low-grade spiritual materials, due to the large amount of impurities they contained, could not be used directly.

Therefore, a job was created for cultivators to use their spiritual power to cleanse and refine the materials continuously, removing the impurities.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yi didn\'t know what to say for a moment.

He couldn\'t help but sigh, thinking that cultivation was hard, but survival was even harder.

Yet, he also faintly understood that Li Feiyu was working so hard not only to support his family,

but also to prepare for the day when he would leave the Lu Family.

After all, the work of a Spiritual Butcher alone would be enough for Li Feiyu to support his family.

Around noon, Li Feiyu returned, covered in dust and clearly weary, but his eyes were bright and full of energy.

Back when he was with the Lu Family, he only had the task of having children every day.

Now, no longer bound by that duty, his life was hard, but at least it offered a glimmer of hope.

After all, the most frightening thing for people is to see no hope at all.

"Changsheng, what brings you here?"

Li Feiyu was surprised to see Hong Yi at his home.

"I just came to see how you\'re doing,"

Hong Yi said with a smile.

He then told Li Feiyu that he would leave the Lu Family in some time to head to the Nine Dragons Market.

If there was anything Li Feiyu needed, he could make purchases on his behalf.

Though Qingzhu Villa had a Hundred Treasures Pavilion, from Hong Yi\'s perspective, the selection of items available for purchase was quite limited.

At the Lu Family, valuable items required an application and expenditure of family contributions.

Li Feiyu, of course, had nothing to buy.

He simply told Hong Yi to be careful outside,

and shared some experiences and precautions for traveling out in the world.

While what Li Feiyu spoke about pertained to the secular world of martial artists, these principles were equally applicable in the cultivation world.

Then, Hong Yi also told Li Feiyu that if there was anything he needed help with, he shouldn\'t hesitate to ask, and not be embarrassed about it.

It would be a real loss if Li Feiyu were to wear himself out with his efforts in the Lu Family.

Upon hearing this, Li Feiyu somewhat awkwardly requested to borrow some spirit stones.

He explained that while working as a Spiritual Butcher, he learned that the Lu Family raised a type of spiritual hog known as Black Hogs.

These Black Hogs could be sold for around fifty spirit stones each after three years of raising.

In the past six months, he had mastered the breeding process and methods for these Black Hogs and wished to raise two on his own.

But the cost for one piglet was six spirit stones, and he currently did not have enough initial capital, only managing to spare four spirit stones.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yi couldn\'t help shaking his head, thinking how determined Li Feiyu was.

Not only was he juggling his role as the Spiritual Butcher and Spirit Planter, but he was also planning on raising two spiritual hogs.

However, he also knew that with Li Feiyu\'s current circumstances, hard work and effort were his only options for cultivation.

Right away, Hong Yi took out twenty spirit stones and lent them to Li Feiyu.

Hong Yi\'s personal income at the Lu Family amounted to roughly ten spirit stones monthly.

In addition, completing his Talisman Making tasks granted him another ten spirit stones each month, and he could often turn in an extra three to five talismans for about another ten spirit stones.

Moreover, every three months, Hong Yi could also expect over forty spirit stones from Hong Yi.

Therefore, his current income was quite substantial.

So, he was able to lend some spirit stones to help Li Feiyu.

But Li Feiyu only borrowed ten,

stating that ten would be sufficient, and he could repay them once the spiritual rice from the spirit fields was ready to be harvested.

Hong Yi didn\'t say much in response, understanding Li Feiyu\'s character.

Later, after having a meal at Li Feiyu\'s place, the two men enjoyed some spiritual wine and chatted before Hong Yi took his leave.
