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

Chapter 88: I won't pretend anymore, I'm actually a spiritual being!

Lu Changsheng naturally didn't know that the second elder had gone to tell the fourth elder about his situation in Jiulongfang Market.

He was still playing with a group of children in the courtyard.

Nowadays, the courtyard had been turned into a kindergarten and playground by him.

At this moment, Lu Miaoyun said that it was getting late and she should go to Bailu Mountain Villa to pick up the children.

In the past few months, Lu Ping'an, Lu Wuyou, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Xile had been sent to study at Bailu Mountain Villa in Qingzhu Mountain.

So Lu Miaoyun and the others would usually go to pick them up.

Upon hearing that they were going to pick up the children, Lu Changsheng immediately said he would go together.

As a father, he had never gone to pick up the children from school before.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun set off and headed towards Bailu Mountain Villa.

On the way, Lu Changsheng also told Lu Miaoyun about his life in Jiulongfang Market.

He bought many maids and had many children.

One thing was that there was nothing to hide about this.

The family would know sooner or later.

The other thing he felt was that this matter would probably be passed on from the second elder to the fourth elder.

And eventually, it would reach the ears of Lu Miaoyun and the other women.

Since that was the case, it would be better to tell Lu Miaoyun, his legal wife, earlier.

Moreover, the second elder had a flying boat and could accommodate more people. He planned to take Lu Miaoyun and the other women to Jiulongfang Market on this trip.

Otherwise, it had been quite a long time since they last saw each other after half a year.

When they arrived in Jiulongfang Market, Lu Miaoyun and the others would also see it. It would be better to inform them in advance and let them be mentally prepared.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng say that he had found so many maids, Lu Miaoyun fell silent for a moment.

But she didn't say anything, just had a spoiled look on her face, indicating that Lu Changsheng should spend more time with them in the future.

"To have a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for."

Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart.

Although he could really buy a bunch of maids and take in a bunch of concubines, Lu Miaoyun couldn't say anything about it, and it wouldn't make a difference even if she did.

But he still hoped that his wives and concubines could understand and accept it, so that the harem could be more peaceful.

Otherwise, if the harem was always full of jealousy and palace intrigue, it would be exhausting.

And Lu Miaoyun was someone he really liked in this regard.

"Husband, Ping'an and the others will also participate in the Spiritual Testing Ceremony next year."

Lu Miaoyun held Lu Changsheng's arm and said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat.

Every year on the second day of the second month, Qingzhu Mountain would hold the Spiritual Testing Ceremony.

It was a test of spiritual roots for all children aged five or six.

Lu Ping'an, Lu Wuyou, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Xile were also about the right age to participate next year.

But Lu Changsheng knew very well that none of his four children had spiritual roots.

"Yeah, I wonder if they have spiritual roots."

Lu Changsheng sighed slightly and said so.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a bit melancholic.

He had quite a lot of affection for Lu Ping'an and the others.

"Husband, maybe Ping'an and the others all have spiritual roots."

Lu Miaoyun held Lu Changsheng's hand and said softly.

She also knew that this kind of thing was quite cruel for parents.

Once there were no spiritual roots, the future would be a separation between immortals and mortals.

She couldn't help but think of her son, Lu Yun.

If he didn't have spiritual roots, he would also have to be sent to the mortal world in the future.

"I'm fine, let's just let nature take its course."

"If they have spiritual roots, they can learn talisman-making from me in the future. If they don't have spiritual roots, they can still live a good life in the mortal world."

Lu Changsheng squeezed his wife's hand and said with a smile.

He had thought about this matter many times before and was mentally prepared.

It was just that now Lu Miaoyun suddenly brought it up, and thinking that this day was about to come, he couldn't help but feel a bit melancholic.

In this way, the two of them walked and talked, and arrived at Bailu Mountain Villa.

This villa was not big, about the same size as the mansion where Lu Changsheng lived.

Inside, there were also many men, women, and children who came to pick up their children, all of them from the Lu family.

"Changsheng, Miaoyun, come and pick up the children."

"Brother Changsheng, Sister Miaoyun."

"Changsheng, little sister Miaoyun."

Someone recognized Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun and greeted them.

Lu Changsheng didn't recognize many people.

He had seen some, but didn't know their names.

On the other hand, most people knew Lu Miaoyun and greeted her warmly.

Before long, the sound of a bell rang in the villa, and many children came out.

They were all young, mostly around five or six years old, with the oldest being seven or eight.

Because children without spiritual roots would be sent away from Qingzhu Mountain by the age of eight or nine at the latest.

After all, being born in Qingzhu Mountain and experiencing the world of cultivation, but not being able to cultivate oneself and staying here, was also a kind of cruelty.

"Daddy x4, mommy x4!"

Just then, four little children saw Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun and shouted.

Then they ran over with their short legs.

Lu Changsheng saw his own children and immediately greeted them with a smile, then picked up Lu Wuyou and Lu Xile and hugged them.

"Do you miss daddy?"

Lu Changsheng said, taking out the prepared candied hawthorn from his storage bag and handing it to them.

"We do!"

The two little girls replied crisply.

Then, Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Ping'an and Lu Wuyu, who were standing there in a daze, and gave each of them a candied hawthorn.

He also took out one and handed it to Lu Miaoyun.

After all, there were many children in the family, so Lu Changsheng bought these candied hawthorns made from spiritual fruits in bulk.

Lu Miaoyun looked at the one she received and couldn't help but smile, her eyes crescent-shaped.

She took a bite herself and then reached out to let Lu Changsheng take a bite.

In this way, the family of four, Lu Changsheng holding two children, and Lu Miaoyun leading the other two children, walked home.

"Now that you're going to school, what does the teacher teach you?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

He was quite curious about what the Confucian scholar hired by the Lu family usually taught the children.

He was worried that the education in this cultivation family would brainwash the children from an early age and make them loyal to the family.

Immediately, the children, while eating candied hawthorn, told Lu Changsheng what they usually learned.

It was mostly children's enlightenment books, teaching them to read and recognize characters, without any brainwashing education.

Listening to the children's account, Lu Changsheng felt much more relieved.

That night.

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Last time he came home, both Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen were pregnant and couldn't share a bed.

This time, Lu Changsheng naturally had to make it up to them.

He also wanted the two women to experience his current strength in body refining.

The next day, the sun rose three poles high.

Lu Changsheng heard a knock on the door and was told that the Fourth Elder had come to visit. With the help of Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen, he got dressed and went to the hall.

"Grandma."

"Grandma."

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun arrived in the hall and immediately saw the Fourth Elder, dressed in a green dress, with black hair and silver temples, holding a baby in her arms with a loving expression on her face.

Without thinking, they knew that the baby in her arms was Lu Yun.

The Fourth Elder liked Lu Changsheng, but not to the extent of liking every one of his children.

But she had a special fondness for this great-grandson born to her granddaughter.

"Hehe, it seems that Grandma came at the wrong time."

The Fourth Elder looked up and saw the two of them, and immediately teased them.

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoyun immediately blushed.

"Changsheng came back yesterday and was too busy accompanying his wives and children that he forgot to pay respects to Grandma. Please forgive him, Grandma."

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, gracefully bowed and said.

He felt that the Fourth Elder's visit this time was probably not just to see her great-grandson.

Otherwise, there would be no need to notify him and Lu Miaoyun to come over.

"Hehe, Grandma just missed my good great-grandson and thought that since you, Changsheng, have also returned, I should come and take a look."

The Fourth Elder smiled and said.

Soon after, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun chatted about some everyday matters.

After chatting for a while, the four elders looked at Lu Changsheng and said, "Changsheng, it's been a while since you last came back. Let Grandma take a look at your talisman-making skills and see if you've fallen behind."

The four elders said so.

This was also the purpose of her visit this time.

After all, the words of the second elder yesterday made her have to come and see what was going on with Lu Changsheng.

But she wouldn't directly mention Lu Changsheng's obsession with women and having children.

She used the excuse of checking Lu Changsheng's talisman-making skills to see if his cultivation and talisman-making had been delayed.

If there was no delay, naturally it would be the best.

If there was a delay, she could use this as a reason to knock some sense into Lu Changsheng and prevent him from getting obsessed with women.

"Since you're back, Changsheng, I also want to seek advice from Grandma and ask for her guidance."

Lu Changsheng secretly thought to himself and guessed the purpose of the four elders. He said with a serious expression on his face.

He immediately got up and went to the table, taking out talisman-making tools from his storage bag.

Seeing this, Lu Miaoyun took little Lu Yun from the hands of the four elders and walked out of the hall.

To prevent the child from making noise and affecting her husband's talisman-making.

When it came to making middle-grade talismans, Lu Changsheng naturally wasn't afraid of the child making noise.

He could hold the child with one hand and make talismans with the other hand without any problem.

But in the current situation, he definitely couldn't do that.

After Lu Miaoyun took the child out, Lu Changsheng, under the gaze of the four elders, held the law enforcement talisman pen and began to draw talismans stroke by stroke.

He was drawing a middle-grade talisman, the Earth Escape Talisman.

It was also a talisman that the four elders had taught him to draw before.

In a short while, Lu Changsheng successfully and perfectly drew the Earth Escape Talisman with great composure.

"Changsheng, you're so skilled at the Earth Escape Talisman?"

After watching Lu Changsheng smoothly complete the Earth Escape Talisman, the four elders immediately showed a look of surprise on their faces.

More than four months ago, she had only taught Lu Changsheng how to draw the Earth Escape Talisman.

But at this moment, Lu Changsheng not only drew the Earth Escape Talisman, but also drew it so skillfully, with a success rate of seventy to eighty percent.

This surprised her greatly.

She immediately knew that Lu Changsheng hadn't been negligent or wasted his time in the world of talismans in Jiulongfang Market.

"It's all thanks to your guidance, Grandma."

Lu Changsheng smiled shyly and continued, "Grandma, not only have I mastered the Earth Escape Talisman, but I also dabbled in the Frost Talisman recently. However, I'm still not proficient and would like Grandma's guidance."

Since he had vaguely guessed the reason why the four elders had come, Lu Changsheng naturally had to put on a show and perform well.

He had been considering that his crazy act of taking concubines and buying maidservants was not a good thing.

The Lu family would definitely have some objections.

So he thought about it and came up with a reason and excuse for himself.

"What? You've dabbled in the Frost Talisman!?"

The four elders couldn't hold back anymore when they heard this.

Their calm and elegant faces widened their eyes in shock, looking at Lu Changsheng with disbelief.

This gaze was like the one Duan Yanqing had when he found out that Duan Yu was his own son.

"Yes, Grandma, but I'm still not proficient."

Lu Changsheng saw the expression of the old lady and said calmly.

He wondered if he had overdone the act.

"Alright, show me the Frost Talisman you drew."

The four elders took a deep breath and said.

The Frost Talisman was a middle-grade talisman of similar difficulty to the Earth Escape Talisman.

But the problem was that she hadn't taught Lu Changsheng how to draw the Frost Talisman.

Four months ago, she had only taught Lu Changsheng the Earth Escape Talisman.

For Lu Changsheng to become proficient in the Earth Escape Talisman to this extent in four months was already incredibly astonishing.

But now, Lu Changsheng told her that not only was he proficient in the Earth Escape Talisman, but he had also dabbled in the Frost Talisman on his own.

How could she not be shocked?

Immediately, under the gaze of the four elders, Lu Changsheng clumsily began to draw the Frost Talisman.

As expected, he failed on the first attempt according to the performance.

"When you were drawing, the flow of spiritual energy was not smooth, causing the spiritual energy to scatter a bit."

Seeing this, the four elders also pointed out the problem in a gentle tone.

"Yes, Grandma."

Lu Changsheng nodded and continued drawing.

But he still failed.

The four elders continued to point out problems.

But she could tell that Lu Changsheng's expression was different.

She could see that Lu Changsheng was indeed skilled in Frost Symbols.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng took a sip of White Jade Hundred Flowers Wine and began the third attempt at drawing.

Finally, under the gaze of the four elders, Lu Changsheng "luckily" succeeded in drawing this Frost Symbol.

"Although you are still not proficient, it is evident that you have already mastered the basics of Frost Symbols."

The four elders looked at this Frost Symbol with an expression of extreme surprise, but also with some disbelief.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that Lu Changsheng had become proficient in Earth Escape Symbols in just over four months.

And had also mastered the basics of Frost Symbols.

This talent for making symbols was simply...

Completely surpassing Lu Changsheng's previous performance in symbol-making talent.

"Changsheng, how did you do it?"

"I heard from the second elder that you have been indulging in the Nine Dragon Market and have taken in quite a few concubines, becoming obsessed with it."

The fourth elder spoke, not knowing what else to say.

She had originally wanted to use the inspection of symbol-making skills as an excuse to give Lu Changsheng a little reprimand.

But she didn't expect that Lu Changsheng's symbol-making skills not only did not decline in the slightest.

Instead, they unexpectedly surpassed her expectations.

Leaving her somewhat dumbfounded for a moment.

She even suspected that the second elder was lying to her.

Otherwise, how could a person who indulged in women and had children every day have so much energy to devote to symbol-making?

Upon hearing the words of the fourth elder, Lu Changsheng thought to himself that the second elder must have told the fourth elder about this matter.

He remained silent, not saying a word.

"It's okay, as long as your cultivation and symbol path are not delayed."

Seeing Lu Changsheng's silence, the fourth elder did not ask further.

After all, Lu Changsheng's outstanding performance in symbol-making left her with nothing more to say.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Grandmother, I won't hide it from you. It's just as you said, you may not believe it."

"I found that after being intimate, I felt very comfortable when drawing symbols afterwards."

"Even in areas of symbol-making that I didn't understand or hadn't figured out before, my thoughts gradually became clearer after being intimate, and I couldn't help but draw symbols with ease."

Lu Changsheng spoke up, saying so.

This was the reason and excuse Lu Changsheng had come up with after thinking about it.

Explaining why he had such innate talent in the symbol path, as well as the reason why he had so many wives, concubines, and children.

As for this reason and excuse, it sounded absurd.

But in the world of cultivation, it wasn't too far-fetched.

Not to mention anything else, there was one reason that could explain Lu Changsheng's words very well.

Spirit Body!

There were all kinds of spirit bodies in the world of cultivation, with various types.

There were "Five Elements Spirit Bodies" that enhanced cultivation.

There were "Charming Maiden Bodies" that were beneficial for dual cultivation.

There were "Calamity Poison Bodies" for poison cultivators, and "Supreme Sword Bones" for sword cultivators, and so on.

Naturally, there were also some spirit bodies related to the symbol path.

They allowed one to naturally fit into the path of symbols and make rapid progress in symbol-making.

As for whether there was a way to improve symbol-making skills through intimacy, Lu Changsheng didn't know.

But the world was so big, who could say for sure?

And the concept of spirit bodies also had a distinction between explicit and implicit.

The Lu Family was only a Foundation Building family, so it was impossible for them to have too much knowledge and research on spirit bodies.

This was also the reason why Lu Changsheng dared to push his own situation towards the spirit body aspect.

As for whether pretending to have a spirit body would cause any trouble, Lu Changsheng wasn't worried.

After all, his situation wasn't too outlandish.

It just appeared relatively talented in the symbol path.

The Lu Family wouldn't do anything to him just because of such a thing.

Perhaps because of this, his talent and potential would further strengthen, thereby adding another layer of restraint to himself.
