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

Chapter 113: Second Young Master, the Eldest Young Master is Not Doing Well!

Jiulongfang Market.

Yushan Pavilion.

Inside a private room, Yu Maocheng and Lu Changsheng were eating and drinking.

"Brother Lu, it seems that the situation in the Lu family is not optimistic. Do you have any thoughts or plans?" After a few drinks, Yu Maocheng spoke up.

"What thoughts or plans can I have? When something like this happens, there will always be someone higher up to take care of it. I don't need to worry," Lu Changsheng replied.

"Why, Brother Yu, do you have any other ideas?" Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

Yu Maocheng had invited him to drink today and brought him to this private room, so he felt that the other party had something to say.

Now, hearing these words, he thought to himself, "As expected."

"What ideas can I have?" Yu Maocheng said, "It's just that the Yu family seems to have some intentions of recruiting you, Brother Lu, and they asked me to be the intermediary."

"If Brother Lu is willing to join the Yu family, the Yu family is also willing to marry a female member of the family to Brother Lu."

"As for the conditions and treatment, Brother Lu can also make requests."

Yu Maocheng took a bite of food, smiled bitterly, and spoke honestly.

"I, Lu Changsheng, came to the Lu family with nothing. Now, my wives and children are all in the Lu family. How can I betray my family like this?" Lu Changsheng waved his hand.

"Brother Lu, please don't blame me. It's just that the Yu family knows that I am acquainted with Brother Lu, so they asked me to be the intermediary. There is no other meaning behind it."

"I'll drink a toast to myself."

Yu Maocheng immediately raised his glass and apologized.

"I know that," Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, not minding.

He knew that Yu Maocheng was just an intermediary in this matter.

The Yu family asked him to be the intermediary, and he couldn't refuse.

"In that case, I will give the Yu family a reply later."

"But Brother Lu, becoming a high-grade talisman master at such a young age, with extraordinary talent in talisman cultivation, I estimate that the Yu family will not easily give up. They will send someone to recruit you."

Yu Maocheng spoke up.

There was a hint of envy in his tone.

Before, he was a little surprised when the Yu family asked him to be the intermediary.

When he learned that Lu Changsheng was a high-grade talisman master, he was extremely shocked.

He had always thought that Lu Changsheng was a middle-grade talisman master.

He didn't expect Lu Changsheng to have already advanced to a high-grade talisman master.

When he marveled at Lu Changsheng's talent in talisman cultivation, he also understood why Lu Changsheng could marry multiple wives and concubines without any objections from the Lu family.

Because this status and position were completely incomparable to someone like him, a son-in-law of a cultivation family.

"Alright, thank you for the reminder, Brother Yu," Lu Changsheng nodded.

He also understood the meaning behind Yu Maocheng's words.

It meant that the Yu family would still try to recruit him through Yu Maocheng, and he would meet with the people from the Yu family.

So he was just giving a heads up in advance.

"As a friend, I think Brother Lu should consider this."

"It's not about betraying the Lu family and joining the Yu family."

"If the situation in the Lu family really deteriorates, Brother Lu should also consider his own future."

Yu Maocheng took a sip of wine and spoke up.

"We'll see about that when the time comes."

"It's too early to talk about this now."

Lu Changsheng sighed slightly.

In his escape plan, he had naturally considered his future.

If the Lu family really couldn't hold on anymore, Lu Changsheng planned to take his wives and children and escape to the market to live for a few years.

After living for a while, he would reveal his skills as a first-grade talisman master and choose to join a force like the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce.

As for a cultivation family like the Yu family, it was completely out of his consideration.

After all, not all cultivation families were as righteous as the Lu family.

Not all of them could provide him with a comfortable and secure life.

Moreover, after the incident with the Lu family, if he were to join a cultivation family in the future, he would definitely not be able to integrate and would be marginalized.

It would be better to join a chamber of commerce or a sect, where he could live more freely and comfortably.

"Well, there's no rush for this matter."

"With Brother Lu's talisman crafting skills, he can stand firm anywhere."

Yu Maocheng nodded and didn't continue on this topic.

Half a month later.

Lu Changsheng was drawing talismans in the Lingfu Shop.

Zhang Shan told Lu Changsheng that Yu Maocheng was looking for him.

"Brother Yu, what's the matter?" Lu Changsheng walked downstairs and asked Yu Maocheng.

"It's about what I mentioned last time. The Yu family will send someone to recruit you."

"Today, the Third Young Master of the Yu family came and asked me to invite you for a meeting."

Yu Maocheng said.

"The Third Young Master of the Yu family?" Lu Changsheng naturally didn't know this person.

But being called San Shaoye, it seems that his identity in the Yu family is extraordinary.

"Lao Lu, why don't you go and meet him?"

"Even if Lao Lu doesn't have the intention to join the Yu family, he can still go and meet him."

Yu Maocheng spoke up.

After speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "And from what I know, this San Shaoye doesn't have a good reputation. It's better for Lao Lu to avoid offending him if possible."

"Alright, let's go and meet him then."

Lu Changsheng chuckled and nodded.

He knew that if he didn't go, Yu Maocheng would have a hard time explaining.

Moreover, since the Yu family had sent a young master over, it was impossible for him to just leave without meeting him.

If he didn't go this time, he would still be sought after later, so he might as well meet him now.

"Why does it feel like these cultivation clans are digging into the roots of the Lu family?"

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of the incident where the young master of the Bai family pursued Lu Miaoge.

He felt that the young master of the Bai family coming to Jiulongfang City and pestering Lu Miaoge might not necessarily mean that he liked her very much.

Rather, it was a way to show sincerity and to try to get Lu Miaoge to join the Bai family.

"Ah, it's like kicking someone when they're down."

"Now that the Patriarch of the Lu family is still alive, it's like this. If the Patriarch of the Lu family were to die..."

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but think to himself.

He felt that the cultivation world was even more ruthless than he had imagined.

Soon, Lu Changsheng and Yu Maocheng arrived at a private room on the second floor of the Jade Banquet Pavilion.

Inside the private room, the table was already set with fine wine and delicacies.

"Lao Lu, nice to meet you."

A handsome young man in a blue silk robe, with a somewhat feminine appearance, saw Lu Changsheng and took a few glances before cupping his hands and greeting.

"I have seen San Shaoye."

Lu Changsheng also knew that this was the third young master of the Yu family, so he cupped his hands in return.

"Lao Lu, San Shaoye, I still have some matters to attend to, so you can chat."

Yu Maocheng also introduced his subordinate.

Now that he had brought Lu Changsheng here, he naturally wouldn't stay here, so he bid farewell.

"Alright."

Yu Ningyuan nodded slightly and waved his hand, indicating for Yu Maocheng to leave.

Then he made a gesture of invitation, asking Lu Changsheng to sit down.

"Lao Lu, please have a seat."

"I invited Lao Lu here for a reason, I believe Lao Lu already knows."

"I heard from Yu Maocheng that Lao Lu doesn't have any intention in this regard for now, but there's no rush. Lao Lu can listen to what I have to say."

"Even if it doesn't work out, we can still be friends and get to know each other."

Yu Ningyuan smiled and picked up the wine jug, pouring wine for Lu Changsheng himself.

"It's a pleasure to meet someone as talented as San Shaoye from the Yu family. It's truly an honor."

"I'll drink first."

Lu Changsheng saw that the other party was speaking so politely, so he naturally wouldn't offend him. He smiled and drank the wine in his cup.

He exclaimed, "Good wine!"

This was not just a polite remark.

Lu Changsheng didn't drink much alcohol.

Only things like Biyu Bamboo Wine and Baiyu Hundred Flowers Wine.

But at this moment, he could clearly feel that this wine was far better than the Biyu Bamboo Wine and Baiyu Hundred Flowers Wine he had drunk before.

It nourished his spiritual power and mind, estimated to be a top-grade spiritual wine.

"Hehe, this is the special product of the Bi Lake Mountain, the Bishui Spirit Wine."

"It has a good nourishing effect on the mind. Lao Lu is a talisman master, so you can drink more."

"If you like it, I still have a jug with me. Lao Lu can take it back and taste it."

Yu Ningyuan spoke up.

"San Shaoye is too kind. I can't accept something for nothing. How can I do that?"

Lu Changsheng waved his hand. He naturally wouldn't covet such a small amount of spiritual wine.

Seeing this, Yu Ningyuan didn't say much on this matter and started talking about other topics.

He asked about Lu Changsheng's situation and life in the Lu family.

He also talked about the current situation of the Lu family and introduced the situation of the Yu family.

If Lu Changsheng didn't have a system and a clear plan for himself, he might really be moved by the appearance and words of the third young master of the Yu family.

After all, from the words of this third young master, the situation of the Lu family was very bleak.

And the Yu family in Bilake Mountain not only had two Foundation Building cultivators sitting in town.

Within ten years, it was expected that the third Foundation Building cultivator would be born.

The overall strength and future of their family far surpassed that of the Lu family.

If Lu Changsheng was willing to join, his future would be limitless.

After talking for a while, Yu Ningyuan took out a jug of spiritual wine and three jade boxes and placed them on the table.

When the three jade boxes were opened, they each contained a magic tool talisman pen, ten translucent medium-grade spirit stones, and a high-grade Breaking Stage Pill.

"Lao Lu, this is a token of sincerity from my Yu family."

"These resources are enough for Lao Lu to cultivate to the late Qi Refining stage!"

"And, as long as Lao Lu is willing to join my Yu family, my Yu family is also willing to marry a legitimate daughter to Lao Lu."

"When Lao Lu cultivates to the late Qi Refining stage and makes enough contributions, my Yu family can even bestow advanced techniques and teach the insights of Foundation Building."

"I believe that the Lu family can't offer Lao Lu such benefits, right?"

Yu Ningyuan's face showed a faint self-confident smile as he spoke.

Lu Changsheng looked at the spiritual wine, the instrument symbol pen, ten medium-grade spiritual stones, and the high-level breakthrough pill in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly admire the generosity of the Yu family.

With just one glance, he could tell that this symbol pen was an excellent instrument.

In addition to the ten medium-grade spiritual stones and a high-level breakthrough pill, it was worth more than three thousand spiritual stones.

It was indeed a generous offer.

He understood in his heart that the Yu family must have valued his potential in the field of symbol cultivation.

He knew that his future was not just as a top-grade symbol master or a first-order symbol master.

He had the potential to become a second-order symbol master.

Otherwise, as a top-grade symbol master, it wouldn't be worth the Yu family's effort to dig him out at such a high cost.

And they even wanted to marry their eldest daughter to him and give him advanced techniques.

In families like this, the more powerful they were, the fewer direct descendants they had who married outside the family.

For example, Yu Ningrong, who married Yu Maocheng, was only a collateral descendant of the Yu family.

"Master Yu, I apologize. Since I entered the Lu family from a humble background, I owe all my achievements today to the Lu family's cultivation. I cannot betray my family." Lu Changsheng said apologetically.

If he were an ordinary cultivator, it would indeed be difficult for him to refuse this offer.

After all, money, women, techniques, and the Yu family's support were all in place.

Especially the high-level techniques and the Foundation Building insights, they were a great weapon for ordinary cultivators.

Even though all cultivators knew that their chances of achieving Foundation Building were slim, they couldn't help but be tempted and hooked by the mention of Foundation Building.

After all, Foundation Building was the dream of countless cultivators!

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Ningyuan, who had a confident smile on his face, couldn't help but stiffen.

He looked at Lu Changsheng with some astonishment.

He didn't expect that after all his efforts, Lu Changsheng would not be tempted.

He actually refused him!

It should be noted that when he received the mission and saw the conditions offered by the family, he had doubts.

He thought the conditions were too good.

It was only after the family told him about Lu Changsheng's talent in symbol cultivation that he reluctantly accepted.

But he never expected that Lu Changsheng would refuse at this moment.

He couldn't understand what was going on.

"Friend Lu, you may not be very clear about the current situation of the Lu family."

"I can tell you directly that the Lu family's patriarch has only about three to five years left to live."

"And the Lu family has no way to obtain Foundation Building pills, so there is absolutely no way to produce new Foundation Building cultivators. The previous attempts to enter the Purple Yin Secret Realm yielded no results."

"So, the downfall of the Lu family is already inevitable."

"Why bother..."

Yu Ningyuan spoke up, his tone no longer as polite.

But before he could finish his sentence, a look of realization appeared on his face.

He understood why Lu Changsheng had refused him.

"I understand, Friend Lu must be concerned about your wives and concubines, as they are all in the Lu family!"

"Rest assured, as long as you join the Yu family, when the Lu family falls, the Yu family will do its best to protect your wives and concubines."

"And I have also heard that you have a preference for women. You can't be happy without women. Coincidentally, I am the same."

"As long as you are willing to join the Yu family, I will let you enjoy the thirty-six concubines and seventy-two maidservants that I have."

Yu Ningyuan's face showed a confident smile as he spoke.

Lu Changsheng didn't know what to say when he heard this.

He was momentarily speechless in the face of such an offer from the third young master of the Yu family.

He didn't know whether to admire the boldness of the Yu family's third young master or something else.

He couldn't quite keep up with the other party's train of thought.

"Friend Lu, what do you think?"

"Worst case scenario, if you have children in the future, I can make them recognize you as their godfather!"

"Or if you really like them, I can give you a few of my concubines."

Yu Ningyuan thought he had seen through Lu Changsheng's thoughts and said confidently.

He also thought that he had made such a big sacrifice to make Lu Changsheng join the Yu family, and when he returned to the family, he would surely be rewarded.

"Lu has no intention of betraying the Lu family for now, and I thank Young Master Yu for his hospitality." Lu Changsheng didn't know what to say.

He felt that he couldn't communicate well with the third young master of the Yu family.

If the other party had been as polite as before, he would have treated it as a business deal and considered it as a friend.

But in this situation, he really didn't know what to say, so he stood up and bid farewell.

"Lu Changsheng, you..." Yu Ningyuan looked at Lu Changsheng, who had given him such great benefits, and still didn't know what was good for him. He showed a hint of anger on his face and wanted to say something.

But he realized that they were still in the market after all, so he didn't say anything.

He just snorted and put the things on the table back into his storage bag.

"Lu Xiong, I apologize for this time." Seeing Lu Changsheng walking downstairs alone, Yu Maocheng, who was waiting downstairs, guessed the result.

He knew that the conversation didn't go well, so he apologized with a cupped fist.

"No problem."

Lu Changsheng arched his hand and didn't say anything, leaving the Yushan Pavilion.

"I wonder if what the Third Young Master Yu said earlier was true or false."

After leaving the Yushan Pavilion, Lu Changsheng thought about the words the young master from the Yu family had said earlier.

The words about the current situation of the Lu family.

He knew that the situation of the Lu family was not optimistic.

But the words of the young master from the Yu family implied that the Lu family was on the verge of extinction.

There was even a faint sense that once the patriarch of the Lu family died, not only the Chen family in the Hongye Valley, but also the Yu family in the Bihu Mountain would come and take a share.

"Regardless of whether what this young master Yu said is true or false, I must make proper arrangements for my wives and concubines."

Lu Changsheng thought in his heart.

He didn't really care about himself.

He had the strength to protect himself.

The main concern was his wives, concubines, and children.

If the crisis of the Lu family came, how could he safely escape with all his wives, concubines, and children?

At this moment, Lu Changsheng clearly realized why most cultivators were alone.

Because most of the time, being alone, walking the path of the Dao alone, was indeed far better than dragging along a family.

As for himself, he couldn't even say that he was dragging along a family.

It could be considered as a small family migration.

But since he had chosen this path, the path of having many wives and children, Lu Changsheng naturally wouldn't complain about the trouble at this time.

He felt that he had too many wives, concubines, and children.

"Strength, in the end, it's still a matter of strength."

"If I had the strength of Foundation Building, all these things would not be a problem."

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh and deeply felt the importance of strength.

His current strength could only protect himself.

He still couldn't protect his wives, concubines, and children.

"As for the wives and concubines, I'll think about how to arrange them when I return to the Qingzhu Mountain in two months."

"But I just met this young master from the Yu family, I should inform the Lu family about this matter."

"Otherwise, when the Lu family finds out later, there might be some suspicion."

Lu Changsheng secretly pondered.

The previous incident of the young master from the Bai family pursuing Lu Miaoge.

And this young master from the Yu family offering a high price to poach people, he felt that the Lu family probably faced many such incidents.

Since he had encountered it, it would be better to inform the Lu family in advance to avoid any grievances later.

After all, it was just a matter of a few words to explain.

After nightfall.

Lu Changsheng left the Lingfu Shop and arrived at the Lu family's mansion in the eastern district.

He paid his respects to the second elder and told him about today's events.

"Changsheng, you have a good heart."

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng's words, the second elder smiled and patted his shoulder.

"The Yu family sent someone to poach you, and they must have offered a great price. Your lack of interest shows that our Lu family didn't misjudge you."

"You can rest assured, our Lu family has been able to stand in the Qingzhu Mountain for hundreds of years, it's not that easy to fall."

The second elder spoke up.

"Second elder, without the Lu family, there would be no Lu Changsheng today."

"I will definitely stand with the Lu family!"

Lu Changsheng said firmly.

He didn't care whether the second elder's words were true or false, whether the situation of the Lu family was good or bad.

Since he was still in the Lu family, he should have the right attitude.

"Good, good, as long as you have this intention."

The second elder nodded with relief and patted Lu Changsheng's shoulder again.

At the same time.

In the Great Dream Immortal City.

"The patriarch of the Lu family in Qingzhu Mountain only has a few years left to live."

Meng Xiaochan heard a piece of news, her eyes flickered, showing a thoughtful look.

Then she walked out of her cave and left the Great Dream Immortal City.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

The matter of the Third Young Master Yu's family was just a small episode for Lu Changsheng.

It had no impact on his life.

He still practiced, made talismans, went to work, and assisted Xiaoqing in dual cultivation every day.

Although it was helping Xiaoqing in dual cultivation, he also gained something for himself.

After all, in such matters, if he had nothing to do, cultivating happily could also improve his cultivation.

Under his slight control, Xiaoqing did not get pregnant.

But two other maidservants became pregnant.

Lu Changsheng didn't mind.

After all, just because the situation of the Lu family was not optimistic, he couldn't stop having children, right?

These maidservants were in Jiulongfang Market, and the situation of the Lu family wouldn't affect them.

On this day.

Lu Changsheng was meditating and cultivating on the second floor of the Lingfu Shop when he suddenly heard an urgent voice.

"Second Young Master, something bad happened. The Eldest Young Master has been seriously injured and is unconscious. It's not looking good!"
