Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

This was just her way of showing dissatisfaction, a signal that she was upset and wanted to be coaxed.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng approached the bed and embraced his petite and curvaceous wife in his arms.

Then, he whispered endearing words of affection and longing into her ear.

In a short while, the second young lady was coaxed into happiness by Lu Changsheng.

"Huanhuan, I've prepared a special gift for you this time,"

said Lu Changsheng softly, holding Lu Miaohuan in his embrace.

From the storage bag, he took out exquisite and splendid clothes, elegant and noble dresses, and sexy shoes and stockings.

Lu Miaohuan had always liked fashionable and attractive clothing.

In Jiuxiao Immortal City, Lu Changsheng passed by a 'Heavenly Garments Pavilion'.

He noticed that their vestment robes were designed not for practicality, but for beauty, elegance, and attractiveness.

Lu Changsheng knew that Lu Miaohuan would definitely like them.

Because of the expensive prices, he couldn't afford to buy a set for every wife and concubine, so he could only choose a few sets for some of his wives. Discover stories at empire

As expected,

upon seeing these uniquely crafted dresses and shoes, Lu Miaohuan's eyes shone brightly with surprise and delight.

"Huanhuan, if you like them, why not try them on now?"

Lu Changsheng's palm slowly caressed her body as he spoke in a warm tone.

"Hmph~"

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaohuan gave Lu Changsheng a feigned look of annoyance mixed with pleasure with her beautiful eyes.

How could she not understand what Lu Changsheng meant?

Still, she was very happy inside.

Because such behavior from Lu Changsheng was a sign of his affection for her, just as always.

Then, the two began a playful game of dress-up in the room.

"Mmm~"

Gradually, a sense of spring filled the room.

Accompanied by whimpers that sounded like complaints and longing, like weeping and entreaty.

...

The next day,

news of Lu Changsheng's return after achieving Foundation Establishment spread throughout Qingzhu Mountain.

"Hiss, Foundation Establishment, Uncle Changsheng has actually made a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!"

"What, the ninth elder has broken through to Foundation Establishment!"

"Wasn't Lu Changsheng at the Seventh Level of Energy Refinement? How did he manage to break through to Foundation Establishment!?"

"I heard that Brother Changsheng gained an opportunity during his trip, which is why he fortuitously broke through to Foundation Establishment!"

"Such luck, I'm really envious!"

"You say it's luck, and you actually believe it's just luck?"

"A Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, also a Second Rank Talisman Master, this this this..."

"Sigh, to think I also indulge in eating, drinking, and gambling every day, yet I don't get such an opportunity!"

"Brother Changsheng's talent in the Talisman Path, once affected by his cultivation level, now that he's broken through to Foundation Establishment, he can continue to make progress in the art of talismans!"

"Foundation Establishment... I recall he's about forty years old, right?"

Inside Qingzhu Mountain, people were buzzing with discussions about the news.

Some were joyful, some were moved.

Some envied, some felt bitter and jealous.

Lu Changsheng's breakthrough to Second Grade Talisman Master had already made many green with envy.

Now, that he had suddenly reached Foundation Establishment naturally upset some people's sense of balance.

After all, in many people's eyes, Lu Changsheng didn't usually focus on cultivation, but obsessed over women.

Even with such circumstances, it was accepted he had talent in talismans, yet he also had such luck, such an opportunity.

However, many were also inspired by his achievement.

They felt that as long as they didn't give up and worked hard, they might one day obtain an opportunity to break through Foundation Establishment themselves.

In the Cultivation World, stories of underdogs rising up were certainly not scarce.

Now that Lu Changsheng had broken through to Foundation Establishment, to many in the Lu Family, he was a living example.

The Immortal Seedlings who had arrived at the Lu Family with Lu Changsheng, now more than twenty years had passed.

Aside from Li Feiyu, none had left.

All had become integrated into the Lu Family.

Hearing this news, some felt as if a lifetime had passed.

They remembered that sunset twenty years ago.

Some regretted not having fostered a good relationship with Lu Changsheng at the outset.

Of course, Lu Changsheng himself knew nothing of these discussions, nor did he care.

At this moment, he was taking his wives and concubines on a leisurely outing around Qingzhu Mountain.

"It's been so long since I've been out, and today my husband actually has time to accompany us on this pastoral jaunt."

Qu Zhenzhen wore a light pink dress adorned with embroidery of butterflies poised for flight, and draped over it was a layer of white gauze.

Inhaling the fresh spring air of the mountain forest, her pretty face was lively and joyful.

"It is I who have been too busy to take you out for relaxation and fun," he said.

"From now on, I will certainly spend more time with my dear Zhenzhen," he promised.

Lu Changsheng smiled, speaking in a gentle voice.

Lu Miaoyun wore a jade-green dress, her beautiful hair pinned up with a matching green hairpin.

Gazing at the surrounding scenery, her elegant and gentle face showed a smile as she held onto Lu Changsheng's wrist, whispering, "Thank you, husband."

She knew that Lu Changsheng did it to help her relax and clear her mind, to keep stray thoughts at bay.

Cultivators paid great attention to their state of mind.

If it was too disturbed and filled with too many stray thoughts, at best it would affect their cultivation efficiency, and at worst, it could even give rise to a heart demon,

Especially when facing a bottleneck, a poor state of mind could lead to failure, even if all the necessary resources were available.

"Hehe, we are husband and wife, what is there to thank?"

Lu Changsheng chuckled.

He felt that, if he had time, it would be good to take his wives and concubines out more often to relax, perhaps every few months.

"Thank you, husband!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"You've worked hard, husband!"

The other ladies also took turns thanking Lu Changsheng.

They knew that this outing was just a simple break for them.

But for a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, a Second Grade Talisman Master, to willingly take them out for leisure, they already felt very satisfied and touched.

"Alright, since we are here to enjoy ourselves, let's relax and be at ease,"

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, dismissing the formalities with a wave of his hand.

During this time, he had not neglected any of his concubines or maids, inquiring about their well-being and the children's matters.

These concubines and maids who remained on Qingzhu Mountain had borne him many children.

For instance, the first maid he bought from the White Jade Tower, Shao Yuyao,

had given birth to seven children for him.

Among these seven children, three possessed Spiritual Roots.

The youngest son, Lu Qingxuan, even had a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root!

The maid Jiang Louyue had borne him six children.

One of these children had a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root!

Therefore, Lu Changsheng planned that once he established his own family, he would hold a grand wedding banquet to formally elevate all these maids to the status of concubines,

giving them proper recognition.

Thinking about the establishment of his family, Lu Changsheng, after the outing, casually visited the Lu Family's spiritual fields, medicine gardens, and pastures.

The spiritual rice, spiritual medicine, and spiritual beasts that the Lu Family cultivated and raised were all of very low grade.

One reason was the absence of inherited knowledge in the cultivation of spiritual plants and the taming of spiritual beasts.

Another was the lack of adequate Spiritual Plant Masters and Beast Tamers.

This realization revealed to Lu Changsheng that this would be a problem when his family was established.

After all, he had only a limited understanding of the cultivation of spiritual plants, spiritual medicine, and the rearing of spiritual beasts.

Among his wives and concubines, not even Lu Miaoyun, Shao Yuyao, Xiao Yueru, Guan Xin, or Xiao Qing had more than a basic knowledge of spiritual food and plants,

their skills limited to simple care of spiritual medicine and herbs and making spiritual meals.

"Sigh,"

Lu Changsheng let out a small sigh in his heart.

The closer the time came to establish his family, the more he realized that there was more to do and prepare than he had anticipated.

He wanted to achieve in one step what other families took decades or even a century to accomplish and realized it would require several times the effort.
