Establish A Long-Lived Family From The Son-In-Law

Chapter 110: Storm is Brewing, Inner Demon!

One month later.

On this day, the head of the family, Lu Yuanding, came to find Lu Changsheng.

He brought a list of talismans and a batch of materials for making talismans.

He hoped that Lu Changsheng would spend more time drawing talismans according to the list.

"Please rest assured, Head of the Family."

"In the coming days, I will focus more on drawing talismans."

Lu Changsheng glanced at the list and nodded in agreement.

He also knew that the friction between the Chen family and the Lu family had been escalating recently.

It seemed like they were about to go to war.

In this situation, the Lu family had also entered a state of preparedness.

They needed to stock up on more elixirs, talismans, and magical tools to deal with it.

And at this time, as a talisman master of the Lu family, he also had the obligation to contribute and provide support from the rear.

"Alright, I'll rely on you during this period."

Lu Yuanding patted Lu Changsheng's shoulder and said warmly.

Then he briefly said a few words and left without staying for long.

Obviously, the situation in the Lu family was very busy for him as the head of the family.

After Lu Yuanding left, Lu Miaoyun came to inquire about why the head of the family had come.

Lu Changsheng did not hide anything and told her the truth.

"I heard from Grandma that a minor dispute broke out at the spiritual stone mine jointly operated by the family and the Chen family not long ago."

"Three days ago, the elder took many disciples to the spiritual stone mine to maintain order."

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoyun said so.

"Is it that serious?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

He knew that there had been constant friction between the Lu family and the Chen family.

But he didn't expect it to be so intense.

It had reached the point of erupting into a dispute, requiring the elder to go out and maintain order.

Then Lu Changsheng asked with some confusion, "Wasn't the spiritual stone mine stopped by Qingyun Sect's intervention and made a ruling for the Chen family and the Lu family to jointly operate it?"

"In this situation, how dare the Chen family take action?"

Lu Changsheng knew about the incident at the spiritual stone mine ten years ago.

At that time, many casualties occurred due to the dispute between the Lu family and the Chen family over the ownership of the spiritual stone mine.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Yuanding went to Qingyun Sect to recruit a son-in-law and replenish the Lu family with fresh blood.

"I also asked Grandma this question."

"Grandma said that the Chen family has been secretly taking action, finding excuses to cause trouble, but the conflict has not fully erupted."

"So in this situation, Qingyun Sect will not interfere."

Lu Miaoyun said somewhat resentfully.

"I see."

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

"It makes sense. The Chen family dares to do this because they know they won't provoke Qingyun Sect."

"Or rather, as long as Qingyun Sect's forty percent interest is not affected, why would they bother with the family disputes between the Chen family and the Lu family?"

"In any case, regardless of how the Chen family and the Lu family are, even if other forces are involved, it will not affect the interests of the Qingyun Sect."

Lu Changsheng instantly understood the problem.

In this matter, it would be difficult to rely on the Qingyun Sect as the arbitrator.

After all, in the world of cultivation, it ultimately comes down to the survival of the fittest.

Although at a certain level, reputation and face are considered, it's not that important.

"The Chen family and the Lu family used to have minor conflicts, but this time the situation escalated so quickly, probably because of the Purple Abyss Secret Realm."

"Not long ago, Lu Yuanshan returned from the Purple Abyss Secret Realm, which must have made the Chen family wary."

"Now they are targeting the Lu family to test their attitude and distract them."

"Otherwise, once the Lu family produces a new Foundation Building cultivator, it will unsettle the Chen family."

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart, vaguely guessing why this matter erupted so quickly.

"If that's the case, the grudge between the Chen family and the Lu family will probably escalate and lead to an explosion."

"It will be more intense than the battle between the Lu family and the Chen family ten years ago."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

The grudge between the Chen family and the Lu family has been unresolved since ten years ago.

There has been no sign of reconciliation in all these years.

Just like back then, when he accompanied Lu Yuanding back to Qingzhu Mountain, they were ambushed by the Chen family.

"I originally thought that with the presence of the Lu family's ancestor, these two or three years would be peaceful, but I didn't expect the storm to come so soon."

"The fact that the Elder personally led people to take action shows that the Lu family is responding with a strong attitude."

"Could it be that the Lu family gained something in the Purple Abyss Secret Realm and has confidence? Or is it a show of strength despite being weak?"

Lu Changsheng contemplated in his heart.

Originally, he planned to send Lu Ping'an and the other children to the mortal world next year.

But now that the storm has come so soon, he feels that he should do it earlier.

However, he is not confident about taking a group of children to the mortal world right now.

Who knows if the Chen family will set up an ambush on one of the routes outside Qingzhu Mountain like they did before.

"There's no need to rush, let's observe for now."

"As long as the Lu family's ancestor is still alive, the Chen family won't truly tear their faces apart and start a battle."

"And with the formation guarding Qingzhu Mountain, even if there are two or three Foundation Building cultivators, they won't be able to break in as long as there is an Elder sitting in."

Lu Changsheng wasn't too anxious or flustered. The situation has just begun and it won't affect him for now.

In the following days, Lu Changsheng spent a little more time making talismans and submitting them to the family.

These talismans that he submitted were not given for free.

The Lu family would calculate the contribution and reward him accordingly.

Taking into account the materials provided by the Lu family, it was about half the original price.

It was considered acceptable.

After all, the resources invested by the Lu family in the early stage were for future returns.

In the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed.

The conflict between the Lu family and the Chen family did not affect Lu Changsheng.

Or, as Lu Changsheng had guessed, this conflict was just a test.

It did not have the power to reach Qingzhu Mountain or affect the Lu family.

During these days, Lu Changsheng stayed at home and rarely went out.

He practiced cultivation every day, made talismans, and spent time with his wives and children.

Of course, when it comes to having children, Lu Changsheng did not fall behind either.

He has a total of seventy-three children.

This is because Lu Changsheng started practicing eugenics and prenatal education.

Otherwise, this number would have to increase by at least ten.

On this day.

Inside the quiet training room.

"Clang clang clang—"

Lu Changsheng held a cracked and dull piece of reddish-gold essence in his hand.

The sound of clashing swords and horses echoed continuously in his bones.

It was as if blacksmiths were vigorously wielding hammers inside him, forging divine weapons with his flesh and bones, sparks flying and never ceasing.

It's unknown how long passed.

"Crack!"

Lu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of impurity, clenched his five fingers, and crushed the cracked and dull reddish-gold essence in his hand.

An invisible pressure was released, causing the dust on the ground to scatter.

"The Hundred Refinements Body Technique, the second layer, is finally complete!"

Lu Changsheng stood up, stretched his muscles, bones, and veins, making a crackling sound like frying beans.

Then he spread out his hand and looked at his palm.

His skin was still fair and delicate.

But beneath this smooth and fair appearance, there was a hint of indestructible heaviness.

"Breaking through in physical training brings a more fulfilling feeling!"

Lu Changsheng felt the majestic power within him, clenched his fist, and felt that with one punch, he could shatter anything.

However, he also knew that this was just an illusion brought about by the improvement of his physique after the breakthrough.

The second layer of the Hundred Refinements Body Technique only made his physical body comparable to a high-grade magic weapon.

"With the nourishment of the Black Dragon Magic Pearl, my Bone Refining Technique has also reached a minor achievement."

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes and looked inward.

He could see the bones in his chest, which were as transparent as crystal at this moment.

There were faint runic symbols on them, shining brightly like a work of art created by divine craftsmanship.

"But now, my Bone Refining Technique is only at a minor achievement. At most, I can temporarily control a part of the power of the Black Dragon Magic Pearl, similar to a magical artifact."

"And once it erupts, it will also cause considerable damage to myself."

"So, unless it's a critical moment, I should avoid using it. I'll continue to nurture it like this."

Lu Changsheng looked at the bones in his chest and murmured to himself.

This Bone Refining Technique was also one of his trump cards.

When it reaches its peak, it will be as astonishing as a bone that has been polished for ten years, breaking through the sky!

After cleaning the training room with a cleaning spell, Lu Changsheng walked out of the training room.

He came to the courtyard to accompany his wives and children.

During this time, he also took the opportunity to prepare his wives, concubines, and children for secular matters.

In this regard, the acceptance of Lu Ping'an and the others was quite good.

On one hand, Lu Changsheng subtly talked about these matters after he found out that most of his children did not have spiritual roots.

On the other hand, it was also thanks to the teachings of the Lu family's atmosphere.

Three days later, while chatting with Lu Miaoyun, Lu Changsheng also learned a piece of news.

The Lu family and the Chen family are in dispute over the spiritual mine. Due to the Lu family's strong and aggressive attitude, they have managed to quiet down the Chen family.

The situation can be considered temporarily resolved.

However, Lu Changsheng remains firm in his speculation that the Chen family was testing them before.

Such matters are bound to arise again.

"Since that's the case, we shouldn't delay. While the storm has temporarily subsided, there's no need to further delay their journey to the secular world."

"Let's send a group of children to the secular world first. Otherwise, who knows what might happen again!"

After a brief contemplation, Lu Changsheng decides to send the first batch of children to the secular world now.

Otherwise, there might be trouble again.

"I should inform Fei Yu about this matter," Lu Changsheng thinks.

After informing his wives, he goes out to find Li Feiyu.

Regarding the matter of running away, he had already discussed it with Li Feiyu before.

Having Li Feiyu teach his children martial arts is also a way to make them closer and more familiar with each other.

When the children go to the secular world, Li Feiyu can also take care of them.

Before long, Lu Changsheng arrives at a square in Qingzhu Villa.

He sees Li Feiyu teaching some basic martial arts to Lu Ping'an and a few other kids, as well as his own seven children.

"Dad!"

"Daddy!"

"Uncle Lu!"

Seeing Lu Changsheng's arrival, the group of kids immediately shout.

"I have something to discuss with you, Uncle Li. You guys continue, practice well," Lu Changsheng says when he sees a few children stop their movements.

Although he dotes on his children, he doesn't spoil them excessively.

Moreover, the martial arts Li Feiyu is currently teaching are all about laying the foundation and not too demanding.

It's about building endurance and willpower.

He thinks it's necessary.

"Changsheng, what brings you here?" Li Feiyu smiles and asks Lu Changsheng.

"I have something to talk to you about," Lu Changsheng nods.

He and Li Feiyu sit down under a tree nearby and he says, "I plan to send Ping'an and the others to the secular world now."

"So urgent? Did something happen?" Li Feiyu is surprised to hear this and immediately realizes that something must have happened.

Because Lu Changsheng had mentioned this matter to him before.

But he said it would happen in the next year or two.

"You should have heard about the spiritual stone mine incident involving the Lu family recently, right?" Lu Changsheng says.

"I've heard about it, but I don't know the specifics," Li Feiyu replies.

"Did something happen?"

Li Feiyu shook his head.

He was truly oblivious to the outside world and had no sources of information in the Lu family.

"Nothing major happened, the situation has temporarily calmed down and come to an end."

"But based on my speculation, this is just the first wave of testing from the Chen family."

Lu Changsheng took out two bottles of Biyu Bamboo Wine from his storage bag, handed one to Li Feiyu, and continued speaking.

"I mentioned before that the situation of the Lu family's ancestor is not optimistic."

"At that time, I thought it would take at least four or five years before the Lu family would start to be in a precarious state."

"But this incident has reminded me."

"I feel that it won't be long before the Lu family faces the second and third waves of troubles and conflicts."

"So I think it's unnecessary to delay the matter of going to the mundane world any longer."

"It's better to send Ping'an and the others directly to the mundane world while the situation is calm."

"And considering the situation of the Lu family, I think it's better for you to leave as well."

"You are a free man and can leave at any time."

"As for your wives and children, I can talk to the family head and try to bring them over for you."

"By then, you can also accompany me in sending your wives and children to the mundane world."

"What do you think?"

Lu Changsheng laid out his thoughts.

On one hand, he was reminding his good brother to run away.

On the other hand, he also hoped that Li Feiyu would settle his family in the mundane world and help take care of his children while continuing to teach them martial arts.

Although there were arrangements made by Hong Yi in the mundane world, he trusted Li Feiyu more.

"No problem, I'll listen to you. I'll do as you say, and I'll trouble you with this matter."

After hearing these words, Li Feiyu pondered for a moment and nodded directly.

He also knew that if the Lu family was really in crisis, it would be too late to run away.

Although leaving the Lu family meant having less access to spiritual veins for cultivation, he had to consider the situation.

Moreover, he had planned to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and then leave the Lu family to explore the world.

He had recently broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

It's just that the children were still young, and he still had some concerns in his heart, so he planned to wait a few more years.

Now that Lu Changsheng could help him resolve this concern, he had no worries.

"We don't need to be polite. I also hope that when the time comes, you can continue to take care of Ping'an and the others for a few more years in the mundane world."

"After all, when they arrive in the mundane world, they will need time to adapt, and as a father, I can't always be by their side."

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh.

Although he was mentally prepared for this, now that he was really going to send his children to the mundane world, with the separation between immortals and mortals, he couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental.

"You can rest assured, I will take good care of the children on this side."

Li Feiyu's voice was resolute.

Then he said, "But what about you? What are your plans?"

"I have a deep connection with the Lu family, I can't just leave whenever I want."

"After all, the Lu family has also been kind to me, and in the current situation, I can't just leave like that."

"So I plan to continue observing. If the Lu family can safely get through this incident, then nothing could be better."

"But if the Lu family can't make it through, then they won't have time to consider my situation."

Lu Changsheng spoke up.

Although he still had a contract with the Lu family,

what bound him now was no longer just a contract.

It was the years of friendship with the Lu family,

as well as his feelings towards his wives and concubines.

He couldn't act without any consideration for these things.

So he decided to observe the situation for now,

thinking that it would be best to lend a hand during the crisis in the Lu family.

If they couldn't overcome it, he would protect his wives and concubines and leave.

This way, not only would he have a clear conscience,

but he would also fulfill his responsibilities to his wives and concubines, especially Lu Miaoyun, and the Lu family.

"Alright, you know what's best for yourself."

When Li Feiyu heard this, he didn't try to persuade him.

He also knew that Lu Changsheng was someone who valued emotions.

In this situation, it was indeed difficult to just walk away.

"If you have any uncertain plans or arrangements, you can let me analyze them."

Li Feiyu said this.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu discussed the subsequent arrangements and other matters.

After their conversation, Lu Changsheng went directly to find the head of the family, Lu Yuanding.

Since he was going to send the child to the secular world, he had to inform Lu Yuanding, the head of the Lu family, no matter what.

He also wanted to inquire about the current situation between the Lu family and the Chen family, to make sure everything was stable.

And there was also the matter of Li Feiyu's wives and children.

Half an hour later,

Lu Changsheng arrived at Lu Yuanding's residence.

However, Lu Yuanding was not there.

After waiting for about half an hour, Lu Yuanding finally returned.

"Changsheng, is there something you came here for?"

Lu Yuanding came to the hall and looked at Lu Changsheng, asking directly.

"Yes, Head of the Family."

"I heard that the conflict between the family and the Chen family has temporarily subsided. I thought that during this time, I would send some of my children to the secular world."

Lu Changsheng spoke openly, without any hesitation.

After all, he didn't think there was much need to be secretive or hesitant about this matter.

"Send the children to the secular world?"

Lu Yuanding paused for a moment upon hearing this.

Then he pondered for a moment and said, "I remember your child is already seven years old, right? It is indeed time to send them to the secular world."

"Now that things have temporarily calmed down between our Lu family and the Chen family, it shouldn't be a problem."

"But you still need to be careful on the way. When do you plan to leave? I will arrange for a few people to escort you back."

Lu Yuanding said.

"I'm thinking of leaving in a few days."

Lu Changsheng said.

"Do you have a place prepared to settle the children? Our Lu family has influence in many places in the secular world."

"If you don't have a place to settle down, I can arrange it for you."

"Don't worry, we will treat all these children equally."

Lu Yuanding spoke up in a gentle tone.

"Thank you, Master, but I have already made arrangements for the children. They will be settled in Ruyi County, our hometown."

"Before this, I had a friend prepare some land and houses in Ruyi County."

Lu Changsheng slightly bowed.

He naturally understood the meaning behind Lu Yuanding's words, hoping that he would settle the children in the Lu family.

"Since you have made your own arrangements, that is naturally the best."

"After you have confirmed the time, let me know. If there are any problems in the mortal world, you can also inform me."

Upon hearing that Lu Changsheng had made arrangements, Lu Yuanding did not say anything.

His tone remained gentle and unchanged.

After all, family bloodlines were highly valued in this world.

Although Lu Changsheng had already integrated into the Lu family, he thought it was normal to leave his own bloodline and family in the mortal world.

"You don't have to worry too much about the current situation of the Lu family. Yuanshan had some gains in the Purple Obsidian Secret Realm before, which gives us hope to overcome the difficulties."

Seemingly aware of Lu Changsheng's concerns, Lu Yuanding revealed a piece of news.

"Gains in the Purple Obsidian Secret Realm? Overcoming difficulties?"

Lu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Although he didn't know if Lu Yuanding's words were true or false, Lu Changsheng couldn't remain unresponsive at this moment.

He immediately bowed and expressed his attitude, "Master, I have long regarded Qingzhu Mountain as my own home. This time, I am sending the children to the mortal world not only because they are old enough, but also to leave a bloodline in the mortal world. I am willing to live and die with the family!"

Lu Changsheng said firmly.

Lu Yuanding saw the determined look on Lu Changsheng's face and also showed a relieved and moved expression.

He patted Lu Changsheng's shoulder and said, "Hehe, as long as you have this intention."

"But our Lu family will never let our own people sacrifice in vain. You don't have to worry too much."

Lu Yuanding said so.

"Yes, Master!"

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Then he continued, "By the way, Master, I have a friend named Li Feiyu."

"A few years ago, I troubled the Fourth Elder to let him change from being a son-in-law to a free man, but he is still in the Lu family."

"This time, I also want him to return to the mortal world with me and help me take care of the children."

"So I would like to request Master's permission to let him bring his wives and children back to the mortal world."

Lu Changsheng continued.

"No problem, you can directly find Fubo for this matter and let him make the arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanding did not hesitate and agreed directly.

Because of Lu Changsheng's reasons, he had an impression of Li Feiyu.

But he didn't know much about him.

Since Lu Changsheng had spoken up, it didn't matter whether this matter turned out well or not.

"Thank you, Master!"

Lu Changsheng bowed.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng bid farewell to Lu Yuanding.

That night.

Afterwards--

"Lanshu, Zier, Qing'er, I plan to send Ping'an, Wuyu, and Wuyou to the secular world in three days."

"They are still young and need someone to take care of them. You can go with them and take care of them."

Lu Changsheng said to the three women.

He didn't mention anything about the crisis in the Lu family.

Sending the children to the secular world and having his wife go there to take care of them is the most legitimate reason.

"Yes, I will listen to my husband."

"I will follow my husband's arrangements."

The three women leaned against Lu Changsheng and replied breathlessly.

"Don't worry, I will come to visit you when I have time."

Lu Changsheng gently stroked the three women and said in a warm voice.

He still had a lot of affection for the three wives who had followed him from the beginning.

Dream Immortal City.

"Meng Daoist, before I start refining the pill, let me explain that it is difficult to find the materials for the Foundation Building pill. Except for the second-level alchemists of a few major sects, other alchemists are not very proficient in refining the Foundation Building pill."

"For me, the normal result of refining the Foundation Building pill is two pills."

"If luck is not good, there may only be one pill, and only under extremely lucky circumstances can three pills be formed."

"So if you are willing to accept this result, I can start refining the pill for you."

An old man with white hair and a youthful face, with a rosy complexion like a baby, slowly said to a girl in a purple dress.

"Naturally, please rest assured, Master Chen. Regardless of the result, I can understand it. I will not deduct any payment."

Meng Xiaochan smiled and handed over a storage bag.

Although this Master Chen was an experienced alchemist, he was one of the few who could stably refine the Foundation Building pill.

And it was not easy for ordinary casual cultivators to invite someone to refine the Foundation Building pill.

Meng Xiaochan had spent a lot of connections and resources to invite this Master Chen.

"Good, since Meng Daoist has no objections, I will start refining the pill."

"For the next few days, Meng Daoist can wait outside the pill refining hall, or you can come back in seven days."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, took the storage bag and glanced at it to confirm that the materials were complete, then led two fire fan boys into the pill refining hall.

Meng Xiaochan did not leave and waited outside the pill refining hall for the result.

At this moment, her mind wandered.

She wondered how to arrange things if this Master Chen only refined one Foundation Building pill.

Should she use it herself or give it to him?

"Huhuhu, this Love Lock Gu is too overbearing. I must kill him once I succeed in Foundation Building."

"Otherwise, he will become my heart demon!"

In the next moment, Meng Xiaochan pinched a finger and lightly breathed heavily on her forehead.

She could clearly perceive that the influence of the Love Lock Gu on her was becoming more and more severe.

She often involuntarily saw Lu Changsheng's appearance.

Sometimes, she even dreamed of Lu Changsheng at night.

"If I didn't know that I was affected by the Love Lock Gu and had the Clear Heart Technique, any other person would probably not be able to resist the effect of the Love Lock Gu."

"So, I must kill him and take back the Love Lock Gu!"

Meng Xiaochan's eyes drooped slightly as she murmured to herself.
