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

Chapter 71: Even if I become a concubine for the master, I am willing!

The facade of the Jade Food Pavilion looks ordinary, and the decoration is relatively simple and elegant, not as luxurious as the Lingfu Shop of the Lu family.

But the business inside is also very good. It's not even mealtime yet, and it's already filled with people.

After the two found a seat and sat down, Lu Miaoge ordered two dishes and two portions of spiritual rice from the waiter.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister Miaoge, you don't have to save money for me. I have saved some spirit stones over the years."

In the past six months, his conditions have improved. So he still has a lot of spirit stones left.

Before leaving, he counted them and there were a total of 306.

He left thirty spirit stones at home for household expenses, and the rest he carried with him.

So inviting Lu Miaoge to dinner wouldn't make him stingy.

"Two dishes are enough for us, more would be a waste."

Lu Miaoge smiled lightly.

In the past six months, they had been studying talisman making together under the Fourth Elder. They had also become quite familiar with each other.

This smile was no longer as distant as before, but rather a polite smile, which appeared much more natural.

"Alright."

Lu Changsheng didn't say much after hearing this.

Not long after, the waiter brought a basin-sized lotus flower and placed it on the table.

The lotus flower automatically opened, revealing two dishes and two bowls of crystal-clear spiritual rice inside. The steam rose, and the fragrance filled the air.

"This 'Carp Soup' is the signature dish here, made with the 'Red Blood Carp' from the Yu family in the Bihu Mountain. Every time I come here, I order it. You should try it."

Lu Miaoge pointed to a fish soup that looked and smelled delicious.

"The Red Blood Carp from the Yu family in the Bihu Mountain? Is this restaurant owned by the Yu family in the Bihu Mountain?"

Lu Changsheng was surprised and asked.

The Yu family in the Bihu Mountain was also a major cultivation family under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect.

They had three Foundation Building cultivators in their family, one level higher than the Lu family in the Qingzhu Mountain.

And the Red Blood Carp was a specialty of the Bihu Mountain.

It was somewhat similar to the Qingzhu Mountain's Jade Bamboo Wine and Emerald Spiritual Rice.

"The owner of this restaurant married a daughter of the Yu family in the Bihu Mountain, so he can steadily purchase a batch of Red Blood Carp from the Yu family every month."

Lu Miaoge said softly.

"I see."

Lu Changsheng nodded and didn't ask further. He tasted a mouthful of the carp soup.

Instantly, he felt a strong and not greasy delicious taste spreading from his mouth to his stomach, and then to his brain, leaving a long aftertaste.

"It's delicious!"

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but praise.

He thought that he had already tasted all kinds of delicacies and delicious food in the Lu family, but this carp soup was truly fresh.

"The chef here is also a spiritual chef, right?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

Although the Red Blood Carp was a spiritual fish, it couldn't be made into such a taste without a spiritual chef.

"Yes, the chef here is the owner of this restaurant, and he is a spiritual chef."

"The prices here are also more favorable compared to other places, so the business has always been good."

Lu Miaoge said softly.

She pointed to another dish and said, "This is Earthworm Meat, it tastes good too, and it's also one of the signature dishes here."

Lu Changsheng picked up a piece of meat and tasted it. The skin was crispy, the meat was tender, and the juice was overflowing. It was smooth and refreshing. He couldn't help but pick up another piece.

Nodding in approval, he said, "It's delicious."

At this moment, he noticed that Lu Miaoge hadn't touched her chopsticks and was just watching him enjoy the food.

He couldn't help but speak, "Miaoge, why aren't you eating? Let's eat together."

"Okay."

Lu Miaoge nodded gently and finally picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of Earthworm Meat.

Her eating movements were very elegant, but she ate very quickly.

Lu Changsheng had only eaten two or three mouthfuls, but she had already finished seven or eight mouthfuls.

When Lu Changsheng had only eaten a small half-bowl of rice, Lu Miaoge had already finished her meal.

"Uh..."

Lu Changsheng was surprised to see this scene.

He couldn't believe that Lu Miaoge, such an elegant and ethereal woman, would eat like this.

"I usually eat faster."

Lu Miaoge also felt a little rude and embarrassed. A blush appeared on her stunning face.

"It's okay, it's okay. I eat too slowly."

Lu Changsheng smiled and felt that the young lady in front of him suddenly became more lovely and approachable.

Indeed, in this world, there aren't so many fairies and goddesses that can only be admired from afar and not profaned.

It's just that the gap between the two of them is too big, making the other person seem unattainable, which gives rise to such feelings, illusions.

If they really have a close relationship and get along, it would be like that.

He immediately waved his hand, asking the waiter to add two more dishes and rice.

"No need, I'm full."

Seeing this, Lu Miaoge spoke up and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe her mouth.

"Alright."

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng didn't insist and proceeded to finish the remaining food before going to pay.

Two dishes and two portions of spiritual rice, totaling four spiritual stones.

No wonder Lu Miaoge only ordered two dishes, because the price was indeed a bit expensive.

When he first arrived at the Lu family, he only had two spiritual stones per month.

Now he had just spent four spiritual stones on a meal.

However, Lu Changsheng didn't feel too heartbroken about it.

He felt that the price was still acceptable.

Both the carp soup and the earthworm meat were spiritual food, and the rice was spiritual rice. After eating, they could nourish the body.

He could still feel the spiritual energy slowly flowing in his lower abdomen and meridians.

Moreover, the process of tasting delicious food brought satisfaction to both the body and mind, which was very enjoyable.

He had just thought that Lu Miaoge looked so cute while eating, and he thought that in the future, he could invite her to eat more and get closer.

But now, he thought it was better not to.

With his current financial situation, it was not allowed.

After all the talismans on his body were sold, it would be almost enough to exchange for spiritual stones.

"Sister Miaoge, is there a place in Jiulongfang Market where individual cultivators can set up stalls for trading?"

Lu Changsheng asked Lu Miaoge.

On this trip, he also wanted to sell talismans and buy the cultivation technique of refining the Hundred Refinements Divine Body.

So he wanted to go to the place where individual cultivators set up stalls first.

"There are several streets at the junction of the west and south districts that are specifically designated for free trading by people setting up stalls."

"Although the things there are a bit cheaper than in the shops, there are also many scams and tricks, and there is not much chance of finding a bargain."

"If you want to buy something, it's better to buy from regular shops."

Lu Miaoge guessed Lu Changsheng's intention and reminded him.

"I'm just curious about this kind of stall, I want to take a look and broaden my horizons."

Lu Changsheng smiled and said.

He didn't have the idea of finding bargains or being cheap.

After all, these individual cultivators were all struggling at the bottom, and they were all very shrewd. If they didn't have any means, how could they find bargains from their hands?

In their conversation, the two of them walked back to the spiritual talisman shop.

"Sister Lu!"

At this moment, a milky voice sounded.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge looked towards the voice.

They saw a dignified-looking middle-aged woman with a graceful figure, holding a three or four-year-old girl in her arms, carrying a food box, walking towards them.

It was precisely the little girl in the arms of the middle-aged woman who waved and called out to Lu Miaoge.

"Landlady."

The middle-aged woman was dressed in a simple and elegant yellow dress, with her black hair coiled into a bun, and a black wooden hairpin inserted diagonally, giving her a dignified and graceful appearance.

Seeing Lu Miaoge, she also walked quickly, slightly bending her body and softly calling out.

Her face couldn't be described as beautiful, but it could be said to be pretty. She had curved eyebrows, peach-like lips, almond-shaped eyes, and a slightly raised nose. She exuded a light mature charm.

But her skin was very fair, whether it was her fair face or the skin on her neck and collarbone, they were all snow-white and delicate, smooth and tender.

This creamy white skin, along with her plump and well-proportioned figure, made the middle-aged woman look like a ripe peach, giving people a sense of fullness and juiciness.

"Aunt Bai, little one, come and deliver a meal to Uncle Zhang."

Lu Miaoge obviously knew the two of them and smiled and nodded.

She transmitted her voice to Lu Changsheng, "This is Zhang Shan's wife and daughter. They come here every day to deliver meals to Zhang Shan."

Zhang Shan, who was in the spiritual talisman shop, also saw his wife and daughter coming and immediately got up and walked out. He bowed slightly to Lu Miaoge and Lu Changsheng, and then explained, "Second Landlord, this is Zhuojing, who came to deliver meals to me."

"It's alright."

Lu Changsheng smiled.

He knew that the latter was explaining this because he was worried that he, as the new landlord, would have any objections.

He didn't care about such things naturally and wouldn't say anything.

But he didn't expect Zhang Shan to look like a fifty-year-old man.

His wife was not only a cultivator, but also so young, and their child was only three or four years old.

But thinking about it, this kind of thing was very normal.

Most cultivators choose to get married and have children when they are older.

And this woman looked mature and charming, only in her late twenties or early thirties, but it wasn't necessarily the case.

After all, most female cultivators would buy beauty-enhancing pills and youth-preserving pills.

Like Lu Miaoge, she had obviously taken youth-preserving pills.

Compared to when Lu Changsheng first saw her five years ago, her appearance was almost the same, still looking like she was in her twenties.

This made Lu Changsheng think that he should also buy a youth-preserving pill for his wives and concubines.

He practiced the Immortal Beauty Technique, which not only enhanced his charm but also preserved his youthful appearance.

However, his wives and concubines couldn't practice it, and apart from Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen, who could cultivate it, the others were all mortals and would gradually age.

But when he thought about the price of the Youthful Appearance Pill, he realized that if he wanted to give gifts or things, he would have to give more than ten of them at once, so Lu Changsheng temporarily dismissed the idea.

Lu Miaoge didn't chat much with Zhang Shan either. She just nodded slightly and led Lu Changsheng to the third floor with a cold expression on her face.

She usually spent most of her time on the third floor, either practicing or drawing talismans, rarely on the first floor.

Now there was another Lu Changsheng on the third floor.

But Lu Miaoge and Lu Changsheng were considered familiar with each other, and they didn't mind being alone together.

At this point, Lu Miaoge also said to Lu Changsheng that although Zhang Shan was an old man in the shop, he couldn't be too close.

If they were too close, it would be difficult to manage in the future.

Lu Changsheng naturally understood this principle and nodded in agreement.

Then Lu Miaoge talked to Lu Changsheng about some shop matters and management experience.

They were all simple and easy-to-understand experiences, and Lu Changsheng understood most of the principles.

After all, he had been baptized by big data in his previous life, so he knew a lot about the art of manipulating people.

Of course, knowing is one thing, and actually doing it is another.

"Sister Miaoge, I used to think that you were the kind of fairy who didn't care about worldly matters, but I didn't expect you to know so much. It feels like I'm getting to know you again."

After listening to Lu Miaoge's words, Lu Changsheng joked with a smile.

Today, he had seen another side of Lu Miaoge, so the conversation was not as awkward as before.

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge couldn't help but smile, like a blooming fairy flower, incredibly captivating.

"I don't even know if you're praising me or mocking me with those words."

"But I'll take it as a compliment."

With a beautiful smile on her face, Lu Miaoge said, "Alright, I'm going to make talismans now. You can rest in the lounge or practice."

"On ordinary days, there's not much to do in the shop, and if there's anything, Zhang Shan and the others will come and inform you."

Saying this, Lu Miaoge got up and went to the talisman room to focus on making talismans.

Lu Changsheng nodded and went to the lounge to rest.

After all, he hadn't rested much in the past two days of traveling.

Although he wasn't particularly tired, he still needed to recover from mental fatigue through sleep.

After a short nap, Lu Changsheng saw that Lu Miaoge was still in the talisman room and felt a bit bored, so he found something to do and went to the second floor.

He wanted to see the level of talisman-making skills of Li Shi and Wang Wu, and give them some guidance.

He possessed the second-level talisman-making skills given by the system, so his knowledge of talismans was solid.

It was not something that could be compared to those who learned and explored on their own.

Not to mention guiding two talisman apprentices.

Even his own grandmother, the fourth elder of the Lu family, a first-level talisman master, he could give her some pointers.

"Second Young Master!"

"Second Young Master!"

In the second-floor workshop, Li Shi, who was making talisman paper, and Wang Wu, saw Lu Changsheng coming and their eyes lit up. They stopped their work and greeted him with a sweet voice.

Their voices involuntarily became softer than usual.

"I came to see how your talisman-making skills are and give you some guidance."

Lu Changsheng said.

The two women in front of him had decent looks, not necessarily stunningly beautiful, but they could be considered elegant.

After all, they were descendants of cultivators, and their genes were generally not bad.

But Lu Changsheng didn't have any thoughts about the two women.

Although he wanted to find a woman with spiritual roots to have children, it didn't mean that he would let anyone give birth to his child just because she was a woman.

Moreover, he had just arrived at the shop and hadn't done anything yet. It would be inappropriate to make a move on the apprentices, and it would affect Lu Miaoge's and the four elders' impression of him.

The good reputation he had just established in the Lu family would be ruined.

It wasn't worth it.

"Thank you, Second Young Master."

"Please have a seat, Second Young Master."

The two women looked at Lu Changsheng and said in a sweet voice, setting up chairs and preparing tea.

"What kind of talismans have you learned recently?"

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and asked.

Immediately, the two women listed the talismans they had recently practiced.

They had been in the Lingfu Shop for five or six years and knew about ten to twenty basic talismans.

This was because as apprentices, they had to learn various talismans to create profits for the shop.

Although basic talismans didn't earn much money, a Lingfu Shop needed a sufficient variety of talismans.

"Okay, show me the talismans you've been practicing recently."

Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

Immediately, the two women took out their brushes, talisman paper, and spiritual ink, and began to make talismans.

"Puchi!"

At this moment, Li Shi's drawing was halfway done, but it failed and the talisman paper emitted a green smoke.

Suddenly feeling a bit flustered, Li Shi stammered to Lu Changsheng, "Second Young Master, I'm sorry, I-I'm a bit nervous."

Although she had a very cheerful personality on a daily basis, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous in front of Lu Changsheng.

"Why are you nervous? I'm not some ferocious beast, I won't eat you. Just continue with the failure," Lu Changsheng couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng's reassurance and seeing his smile, a blush appeared on Li Shi's delicate face.

She found it hard to breathe, her heart racing.

There were many handsome men in the world.

But how many of them were both handsome, from a good family, and middle-grade talisman masters?

At least Li Shi rarely came into contact with such men, so Lu Changsheng's smile made her heart flutter and she became even more nervous.

"Your face is as red as a teapot!"

Seeing the other person blush and look all spring-like, Lu Changsheng was momentarily speechless.

I haven't done anything yet, and you're already like this?

"Unconsciously, my charm has become so great," Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.

He suddenly realized that he was no longer the person he used to be.

Not only was he handsome, but he was also young and successful.

Hmph, vulgar women!

Lu Changsheng restrained his smile, his expression indifferent, and his tone flatly said, "Continue."

At this moment, he vaguely understood why Lu Miaoge no longer liked to smile and had a calm and ethereal appearance all day long.

This was the trouble of being good-looking.

"Yes, Second Young Master."

Upon hearing this, Li Shi nodded quickly, immediately calming herself down, not daring to look at Lu Changsheng, and started drawing talismans again.

Lu Changsheng could tell that both women had a solid foundation in basic talisman drawing.

They were almost ready to try learning to draw low-grade talismans.

However, he currently had no intention of teaching them how to draw low-grade talismans.

Once the two women started learning to draw low-grade talismans, most of their time and energy would be spent on them.

It would delay their current work.

It would be better to let them continue building their foundation and try low-grade talismans when they were completely solid.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng calmly guided and instructed the two women in drawing talismans.

The two apprentices felt that this Second Young Master explained things even more thoroughly than the Master, making it easy to understand and greatly benefiting them.

"Alright, practice on your own more in your free time."

"After a while, if you perform well, I will teach you how to draw low-grade talismans."

After making a promise, Lu Changsheng left the second floor.

He could clearly feel that even though he appeared indifferent, it didn't deter the two women in the slightest.

He estimated that as long as he beckoned, these two apprentices would willingly come to him.

But he still had no intentions.

It wasn't worth it.

"By the way, does this count as having good luck with love?"

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of it.

"Thank you, Second Young Master!"

"Thank you, Second Young Master!"

Upon hearing these words, both women were overjoyed. Looking at Lu Changsheng, their eyes seemed to be dripping with water.

He was handsome, came from a good family, and was a middle-grade talisman master. He was simply a dream lover.

"If only I could marry the Second Young Master," Li Shi murmured after seeing Lu Changsheng's figure disappear.

"You're daydreaming, your heart is filled with spring, isn't it?" Wang Wu teased from the side.

"I like him, but what's the use of liking him? We're not worthy of the Second Young Master. Even if I become his concubine, I would be satisfied," Li Shi said confidently.

Hearing this, Wang Wu also spoke confidently.

Li Shi felt a bit discouraged upon hearing this.

In the cultivation world, there were fewer women than men, so young female cultivators were highly sought after.

Like the two of them, they naturally had suitors on a daily basis, with many people coming to propose.

But with their talent in talisman making, they had the potential to become high-grade talisman masters in the future.

As long as they became talisman masters, even if they were only high-grade talisman masters, they would be able to marry into a good family.

But at this moment, when it came to the topic of marriage, Li Shi couldn't help but feel a bit inferior in front of Lu Changsheng.
