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

Chapter 79: I, Lu Changsheng, a full-time artisan!

After moving, Lu Changsheng used magic to clean the house and yard.

"This house only has a simple soundproofing array. It seems that I'll have to buy a few small arrays later."

Lu Changsheng looked at the yard and thought to himself.

Although the security in Jiulongfang City is good, it can't compare to living in Qingzhugu or the Lu Family Mansion in the East District.

I still need to be careful and take some precautions.

Otherwise, what if there's danger when I'm not at home and my wives are there?

Moreover, after buying these small arrays, I can take them with me when I move in the future.

The next day, before leaving for work, Lu Changsheng gave Xiaqing twenty spirit stones.

Let her buy some spirit rice, spirit vegetables, and spirit materials to keep at home.

Now that there's Xiaqing, the spirit chef, we can eat better naturally.

At the same time, let Xiaqing prepare lunch for two and deliver it to the Lingfu Shop.

On the way to the Lingfu Shop, Lu Changsheng saw a formation shop and went in to inquire about the prices of small arrays, formation tools, and formation discs.

"For formation tools, they all come with formation flags, formation discs, and formation eyes. The specific price depends on the size."

The shopkeeper of the formation shop introduced.

Then, Lu Changsheng asked about the price of such formation tools for a yard of four to five hundred square meters.

"There are many formations as well. For this size, the most common first-grade low-quality formation, the Small Concealment Formation, costs one hundred and eighty spirit stones. As for some more powerful formations, it's not just about having formation tools, you also need a formation master to set up the formation and engrave the formation patterns."

The shopkeeper, who also knew Lu Changsheng, spoke a little more and told him some knowledge about formations.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but be amazed when he heard this.

Just a first-grade ordinary low-quality formation that covers four hundred square meters costs one hundred and eighty spirit stones.

A complete set of first-grade medium-quality formation tools costs four to five hundred spirit stones.

As for a complete set of first-grade high-quality formation tools, the price is basically over a thousand spirit stones.

And for more difficult formations, the price is even higher because it includes the cost of a formation master setting up the formation.

"It seems that compared to formation masters, alchemists, and artifact refiners, I'm still a bit lacking as a talisman master."

"I wonder if I'll be able to draw formation skills in the future. If I can draw formation skills and become a formation master, I won't have to worry about being robbed when I settle down in the future."

After chatting with the shopkeeper for a while, Lu Changsheng shook his head and left.

He doesn't have money now, and he can't even afford a first-grade low-quality formation tool.

Moreover, in his opinion, the effect of a first-grade low-quality formation tool is only average.

At noon, Xiaqing came to deliver the food box.

When Lu Miaoge learned that there was also a portion for herself, a smile appeared on her face.

Lu Changsheng asked Xiaqing to prepare two portions, naturally one for this young lady.

After spending so much time together, Lu Changsheng also knew that this young lady had a bit of a foodie side and loved to eat.

Unfortunately, he himself doesn't have much culinary skill.

There is no need to rely on cooking some dishes, using a roasted chicken to conquer her stomach, and then conquer her heart.

Unless one day I win a lottery and obtain the skill of a spiritual chef.

After finishing the meal, Lu Miaoge also expressed her intention to give Ling Shi to Lu Changsheng as a meal expense.

Lu Changsheng naturally declined this offer.

But Lu Miaoge couldn't resist, so in the end, she accepted twelve spiritual stones as payment for the last month.

Night fell.

When Lu Changsheng returned home from work that day, Xiaoqing told him.

In the afternoon, the neighbors from the next house came to visit.

They also brought three talismans, saying that they would be neighbors from now on and hoped to have frequent interactions.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect his neighbor to be so enthusiastic.

He took the talisman from Xiaoqing's hand and looked at it. All three talismans were low-grade talismans.

"Offering talismans, could this neighbor be a talisman master?" Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Thinking that it's better to have a good neighbor than a distant relative, relying on parents at home and friends when going out, he would be living here for quite a while.

This neighbor took the initiative to visit, so he must be someone easy to get along with. It would be good to get to know him.

Moreover, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have a good relationship with the surrounding neighbors.

At the very least, you should know what kind of person your neighbor is.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng also brought a basket of fruit, took out two gift boxes, and packed a few talismans to pay a return visit.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Lu Changsheng went to the door of the neighbor's courtyard on the right.

After a while, the door opened with a creak.

"Uncle, who are you looking for?"

The one who opened the door was a girl of about eleven or twelve years old, with round cheeks and two buns tied with ribbons on her head. She was wearing a moon-white dress.

The little girl was very cute, with long eyelashes fluttering. She looked at Lu Changsheng with clear, black and white eyes, and said crisply, "I am the new neighbor next door. I came to visit. Is your family at home?"

Lu Changsheng looked at the little girl and smiled slightly, saying, "The neighbor next door?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl tilted her head and then shouted crisply into the house, "Dad, it's the uncle who moved in next door!"

Then, a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a kind appearance and a slightly plump figure, walked out of the house.

"I just moved next door. I heard that the Daoist friend was coming to visit today, so I came to get to know you as well," Lu Changsheng handed over the basket of fruit and politely said.

"So it's Daoist friend Lu. I am Gao He. Please come in, please come in."

The middle-aged man smiled and made a welcoming gesture, giving off a friendly and prosperous vibe.

This courtyard is a separate courtyard, only about a hundred square meters, not as big as Lu Changsheng's courtyard.

However, Lu Changsheng also took a look and saw that this family only had Gao He, his daughter, and two servants, which was enough for such a size.

Soon, the two of them chatted and Lu Changsheng learned that the latter was a middle-grade talisman master, serving as a talisman master in a spiritual talisman shop.

Gao He learned that Lu Changsheng was the owner of the Qingzhu Lu Family's Spiritual Talisman Shop and became somewhat enthusiastic, expressing the possibility of future business dealings.

Afterwards, the two of them also exchanged some insights on talisman making.

Through the conversation, Lu Changsheng roughly understood that Gao He was in the middle stage of being a middle-grade talisman master, still some distance away from being a high-grade talisman master.

After leaving Gao He's house, Lu Changsheng also went to the opposite courtyard to pay a visit.

The door was opened by an old man, the old servant of the family.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng's purpose, he said that the master of the house was not there and would only return after the hour of the dog.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng said, "Sorry for the disturbance, I will visit next time."

Then he knocked on the left side and prepared to pay a visit.

"Who are you?"

The door was opened by a woman in her thirties, with a gentle face and a plump figure.

Her skin was fair, her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her nose was like a distant mountain, her lips were like flowers, and her long black hair was tied up in a bun.

She was wearing a light blue dress, her slender waist was tightly bound by a cloud belt, revealing a proud figure with a prominent front and back. There was a faint gentle smile at the corner of her mouth, and she exuded a charm that belonged to a mature beauty.

"I am Lu Changsheng, a neighbor who just moved here, so I came to pay a visit."

Lu Changsheng had a gentle expression, smiled and bowed, and handed over a gift box containing talismans.

Inside were three low-grade talismans and one middle-grade talisman.

After all, it was a small gift for a visit, so it didn't need to be too valuable.

"So it's Friend Lu, please come in."

Upon hearing this, the woman invited Lu Changsheng into the courtyard, served tea and water, and called her husband out to receive him.

Her husband was a tall and burly man in his forties.

This man was completely different from the friendly Gao He earlier, and was somewhat silent.

From him, Lu Changsheng could even feel a bit of a fierce and evil aura, feeling that this person was not easy to approach.

After a brief chat, Lu Changsheng bid farewell and left, expressing that if they wanted to buy talismans in the future, they could find him.

The other party also introduced himself as Zhao, who usually made a living by hunting and killing demonic beasts.

If Lu Changsheng wanted to buy demonic beast meat in the future, he could find him.

After visiting the three neighboring houses, Lu Changsheng returned to his own residence.

After taking a bath, he called Xiaqing and two maids and worked hard to become an immortal!

The next day.

Just as Lu Changsheng was about to leave, he heard a knock on the door.

After opening the door, I saw a middle-aged man with a tall and elegant figure and a handsome appearance.

He was the neighbor next door. Yesterday, he heard that Lu Changsheng was visiting, and just now he heard some noise here, so he came to visit.

The other person recognized him and knew that he was the new owner of the Lu Family's Spiritual Talisman Shop.

After the other person introduced himself, Lu Changsheng realized that he was actually the owner of the Jade Food Hall that he had visited several times before.

Perhaps because he was a businessman, the owner of the Jade Food Hall was also very friendly.

He expressed that they should visit each other more often and that Lu Changsheng could get a discount when eating at the Jade Food Hall.

Lu Changsheng was also easygoing and agreed to the suggestion.

After exchanging pleasantries with the other person, he left.

He thought to himself that out of the three neighbors next to him, except for the family on the left who seemed a bit fierce, the other two families were quite nice.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was nearing the end of the month.

Zhang Shan brought the list of goods received this month for Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge to inspect.

It took two days for the two of them to complete the inspection of the goods.

During the process, they still found some defective and flawed products, but not many.

This made Lu Changsheng speak up and ask Lu Miaoge why there were always defective and flawed products in the goods sourced for the shop, since they were supposed to have long-term suppliers.

In response to this question, Lu Miaoge only said that although they had long-term cooperative partners, only a portion of the goods were from long-term fixed suppliers.

Because there would be changes during the period, they had to find new cooperative suppliers.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded in understanding.

He knew that the sourcing for the Lu Family's shop was not completely stable.

So in terms of quality, this situation was unavoidable.

Thinking that in two months, Lu Miaoge would no longer be here, Lu Changsheng was a bit worried.

He would have to spend three or four days every month to inspect the goods himself. After all, this kind of thing was really tedious and exhausting.

After giving the confirmed list of the inspection to Zhang Shan, Lu Changsheng made an appointment with Lu Miaoge to return to Qingzhu Mountain in two days.

Two days later, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge rode the Iron Feather Eagle back to Qingzhu Mountain.

Xiaoqing naturally stayed in Jiulongfang City and couldn't follow him around.

When he returned to Jiulongfang City, he would also bring Guan Xin with him, and it would be inconvenient with too many people.

The two of them returned to Qingzhu Mountain safely.

After returning home, Lu Changsheng learned that his twenty-fifth child had been born.

And on the third day after he returned, his twenty-sixth child was also born.

There were no unexpected surprises.

Both of these children had no spiritual roots.

Lu Changsheng was very calm about this.

But there was still one month left, and Lu Miaoyun was also going to give birth.

Lu Changsheng had some expectations and importance in his heart for the child in Lu Miaoyun's womb.

He even thought that maybe he should stay in Qingzhu Mountain this month, wait for Lu Miaoyun to give birth, and see the child before leaving.

But considering that after Lu Miaoyun gave birth, Qu Zhenzhen's child would be born in a month.

He couldn't just wait for Lu Miaoyun and not wait for Qu Zhenzhen, right?

This kind of thing is not about scarcity, but about inequality.

But if he waited for both, he would feel like he didn't need to leave the house.

In the end, Lu Changsheng decided to spend these few days accompanying them.

Then he estimated the time and planned to return home early and stay a few more days.

It can also be considered as special treatment for his wife.

During these three days at home, Lu Changsheng continued to accompany his wives and children and didn't practice talisman-making much.

This time, when he went to listen to the teachings of the Fourth Elder on talisman-making, the Fourth Elder directly handed over the talismans that were restocked in the shop every month to Lu Changsheng.

There weren't many talismans, only three top-grade talismans, thirty high-grade talismans, and thirty medium-grade talismans.

This made Lu Changsheng wonder, does the Fourth Elder draw one high-grade talisman and one medium-grade talisman every day?

But he also remembered that the Lu family had several shops in other districts, and the Fourth Elder probably had to provide some talismans for those shops as well.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge returned to Jiulong District.

When Lu Miaoge saw that Lu Changsheng had brought Guan Xin with him again, she sighed softly.

After all, just last month, she told Lu Changsheng that cultivation and strength were fundamental.

Lu Changsheng responded firmly at that time.

But in such a short time, not only did he buy a maid in Jiulong District, he also brought a maid from home.

But she wasn't a talkative person.

This kind of thing only needed to be said once, and she wouldn't bring it up again.

After returning to Jiulong District, Lu Changsheng used the house deed to arrange a free residence identity card for Guan Xin and settled her down.

He told her to go to Xiaoqing if she had any problems.

Now, Xiaoqing was the main person in charge here.

In the following days, Lu Changsheng began to practice, make talismans, and live a comfortable life of going to work and coming home.

During this time, Gao He came to visit and chat with Lu Changsheng, exchanging insights on talisman-making.

Lu Changsheng naturally treated Gao He politely as he was a friendly person, and they chatted over tea for a long time, leaving Gao He feeling greatly benefited.

Ten days later, Lu Changsheng learned that Xiaoqing was pregnant.

He was very happy about this.

After all, Xiaoqing also had a ninth-grade spiritual root, so there was a high probability of giving birth to a child with a spiritual root.

But then, a faint worry arose in his heart.

Xiaoqing usually took care of everything for him.

Now that Xiaoqing was pregnant, it wouldn't be good to let her continue to be busy.

Thinking that the person who did things around him would soon become pregnant and unable to work, Lu Changsheng realized that he would never have a stable person to rely on.

"I need to find someone specifically to do things and be the steward of this courtyard," Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He couldn't help but think of the beast-eared maids in Baiyu Tower.

These beast-eared maids were cultivated by Baiyu Tower through special means and secret techniques, and they couldn't bear children.

It seemed like a good idea to buy one as a steward.

But these beast-eared maids were quite expensive.

Most of them cost dozens of spirit stones, and some even cost over a hundred spirit stones.

To find one that suited his preferences would definitely cost over a hundred spirit stones.

Spending over a hundred spirit stones to buy a beast-eared maid seemed wasteful to Lu Changsheng, especially since he needed spirit stones urgently now.

"Wait a minute, I'm not a stud, and just because there are women in my courtyard doesn't mean they have to get pregnant. I can arrange for two maids specifically for doing things and not let them get pregnant," Lu Changsheng snapped back to reality, feeling a bit speechless about his previous thoughts. He felt like he had fallen into a thinking trap of having children every day.

As a cultivator, he might not be able to make a woman get pregnant, but he could prevent them from getting pregnant.

He thought of the seven maids he hadn't sent from Baiyu Tower yet, and they would probably arrive in a few days.

Lu Changsheng planned to pick two of them and have them specifically handle things.

The next day, Gao He came to visit Lu Changsheng again to chat and exchange insights on talisman-making.

This made Lu Changsheng shake his head inwardly.

In his opinion, as neighbors, occasional chats were enough for this kind of thing.

If they really wanted to chat, there wasn't much to talk about in this area.

Mainly because the two of them were on completely different levels.

Having him exchange insights on talisman-making with Gao He was like a professor discussing elementary school homework with a primary school student.

But he also knew that this was because he had shown great insight in talisman-making during their previous conversations.

This allowed Gao He to gain something in talisman-making, which was why he kept coming.

This time, he paid a little more attention and tried to appear relatively ordinary.

One reason was to avoid Gao He coming to him frequently to exchange insights on talisman-making.

The other reason was that he was a medium-grade talisman master in public and couldn't appear too outstanding.

During the conversation, Lu Changsheng also asked Gao He about the operating model and daily work of his talisman shop.

He wanted to see if there was anything he could learn from it.

For this, Gao He did not hide anything and spoke truthfully.

The spiritual symbol shop he presided over had a similar business model to the Lu family's spiritual symbol shop.

The only difference was in the supply, quality control, and talismans, which were not as good as the Lu family's spiritual symbol shop.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, also understanding.

In fact, whether it was a spiritual symbol shop, a pill shop, a magic tool shop, or a formation shop, as long as you have strength, your business will not be bad, and you will definitely be able to succeed!

Like the Lu family's spiritual symbol shop, besides the reputation of the Qingzhu Lu family, their core competitiveness lies in the three high-quality talismans of the four elders and thirty high-quality talismans.

"As long as I keep drawing lots, maybe I can become a full-time artisan."

"At that time, I can cultivate my children in this field, or cultivate more artisans. This way, not only can we ensure the stable income of the family, but the children also don't have to go out and fight to earn resources."

"After all, what I seek is stability, stability in everything, which is better than anything else."

Lu Changsheng thought about his future path again.

Three days later.

A servant from Baiyu Tower came over and said that the maidservant Lu Changsheng had purchased had been delivered.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng went to Baiyu Tower with the servant.

It was still the charming and alluring Feng Jiuniang who received him.

Every time he saw Feng Jiuniang, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh, what a beauty!

"Master Lu, are you satisfied?"

Feng Jiuniang led the seven maidservants up and asked Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng didn't continue to use the name Li Feiyu, but revealed his real name.

After all, he also knew that the manager of Baiyu Tower obviously knew his true identity. There was no need to hide it, otherwise he would have to explain to the maidservants he purchased every time he heard the strange name Li Gongzi.

"No problem."

Lu Changsheng looked at the seven maidservants in front of him, who were all charming and had different styles, and nodded.

These seven maidservants not only had excellent looks and figures, but some of them possessed famous artifacts, some had martial arts skills, and some had practiced the Chanye Peiyuan technique.

Otherwise, if they were just ordinary maidservants, he wouldn't have spent 116 spirit stones to buy nine maidservants.

In Baiyu Tower, they perfectly exemplified the saying "you get what you pay for."

After delivering the remaining spirit stones, Lu Changsheng took the seven maidservants and their spiritual contracts and left Baiyu Tower, returning to his residence.

Walking on the street with these seven charming maidservants following behind him, Lu Changsheng attracted a lot of attention.

"That's the young master of that family, going out with seven charming maidservants."

"I don't know him, probably the young master of some family."

"Seems like the new owner of the Qingzhu Lu family's spiritual symbol shop?"

"This is the life of my dreams."

"Hmph, just a mortal woman, but I can have as many of these women as I want!"

"From her appearance, figure, and temperament, she is not an ordinary worldly woman."

"I just saw him coming out of Baiyu Tower, he must have bought something there."

"It's great to have money!"

"Lusting after women and seeking pleasure, how can one cultivate immortality in such circumstances!"

"That's right, this is nothing more than a fallen behavior."

People on the street looked at Lu Changsheng, some envied and jealous, some disdainful, and some looked at Lu Changsheng with surprise.

Many women also glanced at Lu Changsheng, seeing his handsome face, tall and straight figure, and calm and gentle temperament, their eyes shimmered with infatuation.

Even several female cultivators gathered up the courage to approach Lu Changsheng and strike up a conversation.

Inquiring about marriage and whether he had any intention of taking a wife.

Faced with these advances, although Lu Changsheng was somewhat tempted, he rejected them all.

He stated that he was already married and currently had no intention of taking a wife, but he would consider taking concubines and maidservants.

Not only was he cautious about taking a wife himself, but he also had concerns about the Lu family.

In his opinion, it would be fine to take a few concubines and buy some maidservants for service.

But if he continued to marry, where would Lu Miaoyun and the Lu family stand?

After all, he had only been married to Lu Miaoyun for less than a year.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng hurried back to his residence with the seven women.

"It seems that in the future, when buying maidservants from Baiyu Tower, I should either bring them back in batches or have Baiyu Tower deliver them directly to my home."

"Otherwise, this situation will attract too much attention, not only feeling like a monkey being watched, but also possibly being targeted as a fat sheep."

After returning home, Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He didn't feel a sense of pride from the envy and advances of the people on the street.

Instead, he felt uneasy and worried about being targeted.

Xiaoqing, Shaoyuyao, and Guanxin didn't know what to say when they saw their young master bringing back seven charming maidservants from outside.

But when they thought about Lu Changsheng's abundant energy at night, they understood.

They knew that these seven women would soon become pregnant.

"In the future, you will be called Yelian, you will be called Hongmian, you will be called Zimei, and you will be called Canglan."

At this moment, Lu Changsheng named the seven new maidservants.

The previous two maidservants were named Haitang and Baihe, so he wanted to unify the names.

"Yes, master!"

That night.

Lu Changsheng also began to understand and experience the famous tools that Lu Miaocheng had mentioned.
