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

Chapter 63: Managing the Spirit Talisman Shop

"Hmm? Changsheng, you've broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining?"

At this moment, the fourth elder noticed the change in Lu Changsheng's spiritual energy and showed a hint of surprise and joy on his face.

Although Lu Changsheng used the Qi Convergence Technique to conceal his spiritual energy, his mastery of the technique was not very advanced, only at the beginner's level.

After all, he didn't spend much time and effort on these basic spells after mastering them all.

The fourth elder, on the other hand, had the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining and could easily discern the changes in Lu Changsheng's cultivation level.

"Yes, I broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining yesterday, so I came to inform you, Grandmother," Lu Changsheng nodded and replied.

"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect you to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining so quickly, much faster than Grandmother imagined," the fourth elder sat down beside the chair, smiling and said, "Now that you've reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, Grandmother has something she wants to entrust to you."

"What is it, Grandmother?" Lu Changsheng was a little puzzled.

What could he, a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, do?

"Our Lu family has a Spirit Talisman Shop in the Jiulongfang Market, and Grandmother wants you to take care of it," the fourth elder said.

"Take care of the Spirit Talisman Shop?" Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised to hear this.

As a cultivation family, the Lu family naturally had multiple sources of income.

For example, the Green Spirit Bamboo and the Jade Spirit Bamboo were one of the main sources of income for the Lu family.

The spiritual rice, vegetables, and herbs grown on a regular basis were not only used by their own people but also sold in the market if there were any surplus.

That's why the Lu family also had their own shops in some markets.

Jiulongfang Market, he knew, was a large market relatively close to the Green Bamboo Mountain.

It was established by the dominant force in this area, the Qingyun Sect.

After so many years in the Lu family and being considered part of the core circle, he had gained a better understanding of the Lu family's situation.

A cultivation family like the Lu family on Green Bamboo Mountain, although they claimed to be independent and autonomous, was actually under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect.

They had to pay a certain tribute to the Qingyun Sect every year.

That's why back then, Lu Yuanding was able to go to the Qingyun Sect's mountain range and recruit disciples to be his son-in-law.

If it were a force unrelated to the Qingyun Sect, try doing that and see what happens.

When the Lu family on Green Bamboo Mountain and the Chen family in the Red Leaf Valley fought over the ownership of the spiritual stone mine, both sides had Foundation Building ancestors take action.

In the end, it was the elders of the Qingyun Sect who came forward to mediate and stop the fight, allowing both families to cease hostilities.

Of course, the spiritual stone mine was ultimately taken by the arbitrator, the Qingyun Sect, who took forty percent of the profits.

The remaining sixty percent was divided equally between the Lu family and the Chen family, thirty percent each.

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. Strength was indeed the most important factor.

The Lu family and the Chen family fought each other to the death for a few percent of the profits from this spiritual stone mine.

But when the Qingyun Sect stepped in, they simply took forty percent and neither family dared to say anything.

The fact that this Spirit Talisman Shop could be opened in the Jiulongfang Market also indicated that among the Lu family's various shops, it was a very good one.

Unexpectedly, the fourth elder actually said that he wanted to entrust such a shop to him.

"That's right, I had entrusted the management of this Spirit Talisman Shop to Miaoge before."

"But as you know, Miaoge has now become a high-grade talisman master and is preparing to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, so she doesn't have that much time and energy."

"So I thought, let you learn how to manage it."

"Grandmother was a little worried about you before, but now that you've broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, Grandmother is much more at ease. Consider it a chance to gain experience."

"After you become familiar with it, Grandmother will directly hand over the management of this Spirit Talisman Shop to you."

"The things you need to do on a regular basis are quite simple, just keep an eye on the shop's situation, replenish the stock every month, and occasionally take apprentices."

"During this period, Grandma will also give you an additional salary."

The four elders picked up their tea, took a sip, and slowly spoke.

In the Lu family, apart from Lu Changsheng, there were only three talisman masters in total.

Her, Lu Miaoge, and recently, a young member of the Lu family who had just been promoted to an entry-level talisman master.

Now Lu Miaoge needed to focus on making talismans and spend time cultivating, so she didn't have much free time to manage the shop at all.

That young member of the Lu family had just become an entry-level talisman master, which was obviously not suitable.

On the other hand, Lu Changsheng was not only a middle-level talisman master, but also her grandson-in-law.

In the past six months, his performance had been satisfactory to her, and she basically accepted Lu Changsheng as one of her own.

She thought about letting Lu Changsheng take care of it.

Not only would it save them from hiring talisman masters to sit in the shop, but it would also allow Lu Changsheng to get involved in the Lu family's business and gain some experience by going out and exploring.

After listening to the words of the four elders, Lu Changsheng's first thought was to refuse.

He just wanted to live a peaceful life in the Lu family.

But the four elders had already mentioned it to this extent, and he couldn't refuse without a good reason.

After all, in a cultivation family like the Lu family, the family members enjoyed the benefits and treatment brought by the family.

When they reached a certain age and strength, they had to contribute to the family.

Someone like Lu Miaoge, who had good talent and talent in making talismans, and was also the daughter of the family head, was no exception.

He had married Lu Miaoyun, and now he was considered a member of the Lu family, so he couldn't avoid this kind of thing.

Moreover.

The four elders wanted to entrust him with the management of this spiritual talisman shop, which was also a kind gesture and good for him.

Not only would he have an additional income, but he would also be responsible for some business matters, allowing him to come into contact with more things and increase his status and weight in the Lu family.

"I will listen to Grandma's arrangement," Lu Changsheng said after a moment of contemplation, cupping his hands.

He also understood that it was unrealistic for him to stay in the Lu family and do nothing, just waiting for Foundation Building.

Since that was the case, he might as well accept it.

The Nine Dragon Square Market was established by the Qingyun Sect and was a large market with Foundation Building cultivators sitting in it, so there weren't many people who dared to cause trouble in the market.

If he went to manage the spiritual talisman shop, he wouldn't have to worry too much about danger.

And by going to manage the shop, he would not only have an additional source of income.

He would also have the opportunity to conveniently sell the thousands of talismans he had on him.

When the time came, it would also be much more convenient to buy materials for practicing the Hundred Refinements Body Technique.

In the past six months, when he traded talismans with Hong Yi's people, he had also asked Hong Yi to help him buy some materials.

But it took time to go back and forth, and many of the materials he needed might not be available, making the communication very troublesome.

If he went to the Nine Dragon Square Market himself, it would be much more convenient to buy the materials he needed.

The only downside was that if he went to the market, his life wouldn't be as comfortable as it was now.

He wouldn't have the second-level spiritual vein to enjoy, and his wives wouldn't be by his side, so he would have to put off having children.

However, if he went to the market, he could also see if he could take in a few 'fairies' with spiritual roots.

After all, if he wanted to have children, he would have to take in concubines who had spiritual roots.

By then, his useless Peach Blossom Gu might be able to have some effect.

Currently, Lu Changsheng felt that he hadn't encountered any peach blossom luck. He stayed at home all day and didn't go out, so the peach blossoms couldn't come in either.

"Good, that's settled then. When Miaoge comes back in a few days, you can go with her," the four elders nodded and smiled.

"Yes, Grandma," Lu Changsheng nodded and agreed.

Then he took two boxes of spiritual fruit pastries from the four elders' house and went home.
