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

Time flies, and more than two months pass.

During this time, Lu Changsheng acquired three more Spiritual Root maids from the White Jade Tower.

He got two of them with child.

As for the maids without a Spiritual Root, after six of them became pregnant, Lu Changsheng controlled himself and did not impregnate any more.

After all, there has to be some maids to do chores and take care of the children on regular days.

In between, Su Hongyu also made two more visits.

However, she did not invite Lu Changsheng to explore the cave mansion again.

Instead, she expressed that she had gained a lot from the cave mansion, was very happy, and invited Lu Changsheng to a restaurant nearby to celebrate with a meal.

Since he was a major client and it was within the Marketplace, Lu Changsheng accepted the invitation.

When the wine was three parts in and their faces were peach-blossom like, Su Hongyu confided to Lu Changsheng about the difficulties she faced as a Loose Cultivator, bringing the two of them closer together.

The second visit was quite recent when she invited Lu Changsheng to a Loose Cultivator meeting.

She told Lu Changsheng that apart from trading items and expanding one’s connections, there was another implicit purpose to the meeting.

It was for those Loose Cultivators who had little hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage and wanted to find a partner to start a cultivation family, to meet and socialize at such a gathering.

She wished to invite Lu Changsheng to join and take part in the festivities.

Even though Lu Changsheng was indeed somewhat curious and interested in the gathering.

But having identified that the other party was fishing for something, naturally, Lu Changsheng would not agree and rejected the offer politely.

In the end, Su Hongyu could only leave with a look of deep, unspoken grievance, as if she was looking at a faithless lover.

However, the battle-hardened Lu Changsheng was unperturbed internally.

Don’t think he hasn’t been honed by the matters of men and women over the years.

However, it must be said, her appearance and figure, coupled with the seductive manner in her behavior, and the seeming willingness to express a degree of fondness, truly made her hard to refuse.

It’s a pity she met with the battle-hardened, wary Lu Changsheng.

That day.

On the third floor of the Spiritual Talisman Shop, Lu Changsheng, who was meditating with eyes closed and surrounded by seven fierce strands of Sword Qi, suddenly opened his eyes.

“I have finally reached the Eighth Level Energy Refinement!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the seven-colored dan lake within his Qi Ocean Core, his face revealing joy.

This breakthrough came a bit faster than he had anticipated.

Aside from sufficient Elixir Medicines, it was also due to the improvement of the Spiritual Root, dual cultivation, and several other reasons.

“My breakthrough to the Eighth Level Energy Refinement has immediately increased the limit of the Profound Origin Bead; it truly is mysterious,” Lu Changsheng thought, as he looked at the seven-colored revolving Treasure Bead above his Dantian.

Following his breakthrough in realm, the Profound Origin Bead also evolved, gaining an enhancement.

This enhancement could continue until the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

That would be the limit to the amplification ability of the Profound Origin Bead.

“However, at this rate, it might take five to six years to break through to the Ninth Level Energy Refinement!”

The next moment, Lu Changsheng shook his head, estimating his own cultivation speed.

Even though this speed, for a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root, was already considered very fast.

But to Lu Changsheng, it still felt a bit slow.

After all, he had been in cultivation for less than ten years.

Six days later.

Lu Changsheng suddenly received a message from the Second Elder.

Telling him to get ready, they would set off for Qingzhu Mountain in three days.

As for the Spiritual Talisman Shop, he had arranged for someone to take care of it temporarily.

“Second Elder, what’s going on?” Lu Changsheng immediately sensed something was amiss upon hearing the Second Elder’s words.

According to the schedule, the Second Elder would not return for another half month.

Moreover, he had never been in such a hurry to go back.

“I’ve received a family transmission; many Lu Family disciples who were out for training have been attacked.”

“Moreover, recently, the Chen Family directly assaulted the Great Elder in the mining area, gravely injuring him, so the family is recalling all personnel outside back to the clan!” the Second Elder said gravely.

“The Chen Family has taken action!?” Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised to hear this.

He immediately realized that the conflict between the Chen Family and the Lu Family was about to erupt.

This was no longer just a minor skirmish or friction.

Multiple Lu Family disciples were attacked, and even the Great Elder who was in charge of the mining area was directly severely wounded.

This indicated that the Chen Family was ready to face the Lu Family head-on.

“That’s right, the Chen Family keeps provoking us; although the Lu Family has retaliated, it hasn’t been enough to deter them. They know our ancestor is in bad shape, that’s why they dare to act like this!” the Second Elder said with a grim look.

The Lu Family had suffered a major loss more than a decade ago.

They had yet to fully recover from that incident.

This wave of attacks had killed many Lu Family disciples, adding to the Lu Family’s troubles.

After all, the continuation of the bloodline is very important for a cultivation family.

“Changsheng, rest assured, our Lu Family has stood tall on Qingzhu Mountain for hundreds of years, we have our own heritage and do not fear the Chen Family,” the Second Elder said, as if to relieve Lu Changsheng’s worries.

“Second Elder, no matter what, I, Lu Changsheng, will stand or fall with the Lu Family!” Lu Changsheng didn’t care whether the other party was trying to calm his heart.

The Lu Family was about to face a crisis, and he indeed could choose to hide away, living quietly in the Nine Dragons Market.

But his wives and children were all in the Lu Family; he must return this time.

“Good, good, good,” the Second Elder said, looking relieved upon hearing this.

It is said that time is the test of truth, and only through hardships do people’s true hearts reveal themselves.

Lu Changsheng had been with the Lu Family for only ten years.

Now that the Lu Family was facing a crisis, exhibiting such a firm stance naturally made him feel he hadn’t misjudged the man, feeling extremely gratified.

He then told Lu Changsheng to prepare, and that he would send someone to temporarily take charge of the Spiritual Talisman Shop tomorrow.

After the Second Elder left, Lu Changsheng went to the third floor to check his Storage Bag.

And to see what preparations still needed to be made.

“First Grade Middle Grade Spirit Talismans, two hundred; First Grade Superior Talismans, one hundred and fifty-six; First Grade Supreme Talismans, one hundred and nineteen.”

“Second Grade Lower Grade Spirit Talismans, fifty-seven; Second Grade Middle Grade Spirit Talismans, eight.”
