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

Chapter 6: The Hundred Arts of Cultivation: Talisman Making!

"Lan Shu, you've worked hard."

Lu Changsheng entered the room, holding the child, and looked at Lan Shu lying on the bed. He sat beside her and gently held her hand.

Although the two of them were in a mutually beneficial relationship without any emotional foundation, as the saying goes, feelings can develop over time. After being together for so long and now that they had a child, they naturally had some feelings.

"Husband."

A faint smile appeared on Lan Shu's pale face as she weakly called out.

"Don't move, rest well."

Lu Changsheng said softly.

Holding the child and looking at his wife, he felt a sense of happiness in his heart at this moment. He felt that it would be good to continue like this.

But when he thought about the attack by the Chen family on their way to Qingzhu Mountain, he knew that happiness also needed to be protected by strength.

Not to mention that without strength, if he were to leave the Lu family in the future, the child would not be his own.

And...

Having the fortune to transmigrate to such a world, seeking immortal fate, and having a system by his side, he himself was not willing to choose an ordinary and mediocre life.

Seeing Lan Shu's weak appearance and knowing that she needed rest, Lu Changsheng didn't chat much and let her rest well, handing the child over to the woman beside him.

It wasn't that he wanted to give the child to the Lu family as soon as it was born, but he didn't know how to take care of a baby, so he let the woman take care of it.

As for the child's spiritual roots, they would only manifest at the age of five or six, and it couldn't be detected now.

After leaving the delivery room, Lu Changsheng returned to his own room and silently said, "System, I want to draw a lottery."

Immediately, a pale red virtual lottery wheel appeared before his eyes.

It was divided into seven areas: Cultivation Techniques, Skills, Spirit Beasts, Pills, Magic Treasures, Treasures, and Others.

"It's quite comprehensive."

Lu Changsheng looked at the things he could draw and showed a hint of joy.

The only drawback was that this lottery wheel was a bit like the big wheel in the pay-to-win game of the Penguin family in his previous life, which made him feel unreliable and a little panicked.

Can it really give good things?

Moreover, in his previous life, the lottery depended on paying, but in this life, does it depend on giving birth?

It made him feel a bit strange.

Forget it, let's just consider this lottery as a gift from the system.

Lu Changsheng didn't overthink it and silently said, "Start the lottery."

Immediately, a golden light started spinning on the pale red wheel.

After five seconds, the wheel slowed down, and under Lu Changsheng's hopeful gaze, the golden light stopped at Skills.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Second Stage Talisman Making Skill!]

[The reward has been sent to the system space. The host can check it at any time.]

A light cluster in the shape of a talisman appeared from the lottery wheel, accompanied by the sound of the system.

Lu Changsheng's mind moved slightly, and he saw a light cluster in the shape of a talisman in the system space, with information appearing on it.

[Second Stage Talisman Making Skill: After using it, the host can directly comprehend the Second Stage Max Level Talisman Making Skill and the corresponding complete collection of talismans.]

"Directly obtaining the Second Stage Max Level Talisman Making Skill!?"

"System, I'm sorry, I admit that I've become narrow-minded. I have some prejudice."

When Lu Changsheng saw the information, his expression was full of surprise.

He didn't expect to get such a good thing on his first draw.

After being in the Lu family for so long, he wasn't just focused on having children and cultivating. He also enriched himself and learned many things about the cultivation world.

He knew how precious and valuable the Second Stage Talisman Making Skill was.

Just like in the mortal world, cultivators also had many professions and skills.

For example, alchemy, refining, talisman making, formations, beast taming, planting, medicinal cuisine, spiritual discernment, mining, and so on.

There was a saying in his previous life that having a skill would never leave one hungry no matter where they went. This also applied to cultivators.

Not only would they not go hungry, but they would also be highly sought after wherever they went.

Because the threshold for cultivators' skills was higher, it wasn't something that anyone could learn and master just by wanting to.

It heavily relied on talent and wealth.

Among all the skills, alchemy, refining, formations, and talisman making were particularly sought after.

For example, the Second Stage Talisman Making Skill corresponded to talismans at the Foundation Building stage, above Qi Refining.

With this skill, he could completely become a guest or a guest disciple in some influential families and sects.

Without thinking too much, Lu Changsheng's mind moved slightly, and he used the Second Stage Talisman Making Skill in the system space.

In an instant, a surge of knowledge appeared in his mind.

"Introduction to Talisman Interpretation"

"The Complete Guide to Basic Talismans"

"The Complete Guide to First-tier Talismans"

"The Complete Guide to Second-tier Talismans"

"The Amazing Art of Talisman Making"

"How Talismans Are Made"

"Talisman Making: From Beginner to Mastery"

After a long time, Lu Changsheng's mind was filled with a lot of knowledge about talismans.

And there was a feeling that he had been drawing and making talismans for decades.

He quickly walked to the desk, picked up a brush, and on a piece of paper, he skillfully drew a very complex rune, flowing like a dragon and snake, like flowing clouds and water.

"This feeling is simply amazing!"

"It's just like calligraphy, as if I have been practicing for decades, without any awkwardness or unfamiliarity."

"As expected, a product of the system, it must be excellent!"

Lu Changsheng looked at the rune on the white paper, his face showing a look of surprise.

He wasn't just randomly drawing or writing, this was the rune for a first-tier inferior talisman, the Fireball Talisman.

It's just that he didn't use talisman brushes, talisman paper, spiritual ink, or spiritual power, so it didn't become a talisman.

He couldn't explain this drawing process himself.

It was like eating and drinking, something he had done countless times, and it had become muscle memory.

"With the second-tier talisman making skill, even if I leave the Lu family, I can still stand on my own!"

"No need to worry about not being able to find a wife or support a wife and children!"

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, his mind excited and thrilled.

But after a while, he frowned.

"However, I can't reveal this second-tier talisman making skill now, otherwise I won't be able to explain it and it might cause trouble."

There is a saying that an innocent person carries a jade but is suspected of carrying a crime.

As someone who was eliminated by the immortal sect and just started cultivating immortality, suddenly being able to make talismans directly would definitely raise suspicions and cause trouble.

Moreover, he is now a son-in-law of the Lu family, living under someone else's roof.

Once he reveals his talisman making skills, who knows how the Lu family will react.

It's possible that he will go from being a "breeding" person to being a tool for making talismans.

"I can't rush, I have to take it slowly. First, I'll buy a set of talisman making tools, practice talismans, and then gradually reveal my talisman making talent in the Lu family, and finally naturally show my first-tier and second-tier talisman making skills."

"This way, it won't raise suspicions, and maybe because of my talisman making talent, the Lu family will take notice and my status will rise."

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and made up his mind.

Now that he sees the effect of the system, with the second-tier talisman making skill, he has gained more confidence in this world and the future.

He knows that as long as he is cautious, has more children, avoids trouble, and doesn't aim to become an immortal or a patriarch, his future achievements won't be too bad.

Early the next morning, Lu Changsheng went out and took out the flying sword that Lu Yuanding had rewarded him with, heading towards the Baobao Pavilion in Qingzhu Mountain Villa.

The Baobao Pavilion is like a department store.

They sell all kinds of things, such as magical tools, elixirs, talismans, spiritual rice, spiritual vegetables, monster meat, daily necessities, and so on.

Every month, Lu Changsheng's spiritual stones are used to buy monster meat and spiritual vegetables at the Baobao Pavilion.

Although elixirs have good effects, they are too expensive.

For someone like him who is poor, eating spiritual vegetables and monster meat is more cost-effective.

Today, he came to the Baobao Pavilion to buy a set of talisman making tools.

As for the flying sword, he planned to sell it because he didn't have any money on him.

"Shopkeeper, do you sell talisman brushes, talisman paper, and spiritual ink for talisman making here?"

When he arrived at the Baobao Pavilion, Lu Changsheng asked the shopkeeper who was lying on a recliner.

"Why do you need these things?"

The shopkeeper was an old man with gray hair, also a cultivator.

"I want to learn talisman making, so I plan to buy some materials and practice."

Lu Changsheng said.

"Learn talisman making?"

The old man couldn't help but laugh as if he had heard a joke.

Looking at Lu Changsheng, he said, "Do you know how difficult it is to learn talisman making?"

There aren't many cultivators in Qingzhu Mountain Villa, only about seventy or eighty, and he knows most of them.

Lu Changsheng, because he is a son-in-law and has been busy having children, has gained some reputation in Qingzhu Mountain Villa, so the shopkeeper has a relatively deep impression of him.

"I don't know, but my talent is not good. If I continue to cultivate like this, I will basically reach a dead end. It's better to try to learn a craft."

Lu Changsheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He had thought about these arguments last night.

"Hehe, it's good that you have this idea, but I advise you not to waste your money."

"For a beginner to learn talisman making, it's normal to fail hundreds of times at the beginning. If your aptitude is poor, it's not strange to fail hundreds of times!"

"And that's just for the same kind of talisman. If you try to draw a different kind of talisman, although it might be slightly better than the beginning, the failure rate is still astonishingly high."

"For a beginner to become a skilled talisman master, it takes thousands of times of practice, think about the cost involved in that."

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Changsheng, who had been diligent in the Lu family and had impregnated five women in a year, and kindly reminded him.
