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

Chapter 435: Chapter 181: The Misty Sky Bead, The Transformation of Bai Ling!_3

“Dad, don’t worry, I will take good care of Ruyi when the time comes.”

When Lu Xianzhi heard this, he nodded immediately in response.

Among the descendants with a Spiritual Root, he was also considered an elder brother, hence he felt a certain sense of responsibility.

“Dad, what about Brother Yun?”

Lu Xianzhi thought of his younger brother Lu Yun, who was also at the Third Level Energy Refinement.

He figured that Lu Yun would probably reach the Energy Refinement Middle Stage around the same time as Lu Ruyi.

...
“As for Yun’er, Grandmother will arrange everything when the time comes.”

Lu Changsheng patted his son’s shoulder and said.

As the son of Lu Miaoyun, the Fourth Elder naturally doted on this important grandson a lot and would arrange for his care.

Lu Changsheng wouldn’t refuse such kindness from an elder.

“Yes, Dad.”

Lu Xianzhi, having heard this, immediately nodded.

He knew his brother Yun had another layer of backing at Qingzhu Mountain and was even more spoiled.

Regarding this, he harbored no jealousy.

After all, his own father was quite fair to them.

Moreover, as Lu Changsheng’s first son with a Spiritual Root, he also received a lot of privileges and affection.

He was very clear about this in his heart.

Therefore, his sense of responsibility grew even stronger.

“Alright, if you want to go back to Qingzhu Mountain, find the Second Elder, or go back with your Auntie Miaoge.”

“Don’t leave the Marketplace alone, just focus on running the shop in the Marketplace, understand?”

Lu Changsheng continued to instruct, telling his son not to run around.

After all, his son was not like him with a bunch of tricks up his sleeve.

If he encountered a Robber Cultivator, it would be a dead end.

“Dad, rest assured, I know all this.”

“You also need to be careful when you go out.”

Lu Xianzhi smiled when he heard his father’s instructions.

He felt that this was what his father emphasized the most.

But he wasn’t annoyed in his heart.

He knew his father was concerned about his safety.

In the two years at Red Leaf Valley Market, he had also witnessed such things.

Some people, feeling that they couldn’t earn Spirit Stones through apprenticeship work, would go out on adventures with others and never return.

“If you understand, that’s good.”

After instructing his son, Lu Changsheng went to the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop to spend some quality time with Lu Miaoge.

Afterwards.

“Sister Miaoge, I need to prepare for a trip outside…”

Lu Changsheng quietly held Lu Miaoge in his arms, expressing his plans to go out.

Lu Miaoge didn’t ask too many questions.

She knew Lu Changsheng had many secrets.

This trip out should be similar to the previous one with Xiao Xiyue, with something that needed to be done.

She reassured Lu Changsheng that when Lu Ruyi broke through to the Energy Refinement Middle Stage, she would take her in and settle things.

She would take care of the Peace Talisman Hall and the children.

“Sister Miaoge, you’ve worked hard.”

Lu Changsheng held Lu Miaoge’s silky shoulders, speaking softly.

He then asked about Lu Miaoge’s cultivation level and how long it would take for her to reach Energy Refinement Perfection.

“In about two years, my cultivation level should reach Energy Refinement Perfection,” Lu Miaoge replied softly, her lips slightly pursed.

Energy Refinement Perfection meant that one could start preparing for Foundation Establishment.

But under the current circumstances of the Lu Family, acquiring a Foundation Establishment Elixir was very difficult.

The only way was to bid for one at Immortal City.

But the Foundation Establishment Elixirs that surfaced in Immortal City were also very rare.

The price every time it was auctioned was extremely high.

Moreover, Immortal City was far away, and if the family’s ancestor left to bid for a Foundation Establishment Elixir, it would leave the family in a precarious position during that period.

“Sister Miaoge, you keep cultivating diligently, and when I return, I’ll give you a surprise,” Lu Changsheng said with a smile, caressing her.

He planned to reveal his Foundation Establishment strength upon his return from Immortal City.

At the same time, he would give the Foundation Establishment Elixir and Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects to Lu Miaoge to help her establish her foundation.

“A surprise? What surprise?” Lu Miaoge asked, her beautiful eyes looking at Lu Changsheng.

She knew the surprise Lu Changsheng mentioned wouldn’t be simple.

She couldn’t help but guess at several possible surprises in her heart.

“When the time comes, you’ll know,”

Lu Changsheng didn’t reveal the surprise but rather kept them guessing.

The next day, Lu Changsheng handed the talismans he had prepared in advance to Lu Miaoge.

Although he relatively trusted Gao He,

he still felt uneasy about handing over so many talismans to Gao He at once.

“Changsheng, you must be careful on the road,”

Seeing so many talismans, Lu Miaoge knew that Lu Changsheng had been preparing for this trip for quite some time.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to draw so many talismans in such a short period.

If she knew that Lu Changsheng had also drawn over two hundred second-rank talismans at the same time, she would probably be too shocked to speak.

“Don’t worry, Sister Miaoge,”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, planting a kiss on Lu Miaoge’s fair and delicate face, then waved his hand casually.

He did not set out directly after leaving the Red Leaf Valley Market.

He still hadn’t said his goodbyes at Qingzhu Mountain.

Back at Qingzhu Mountain, he informed his wife, Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and Lu Miaohuan about his departure.

These wives of his had different temperaments than Lu Miaoge.

They let him know of their reluctance and asked him to be careful on the road while inquiring about the matter.

Lu Changsheng naturally couldn’t say that he was heading to Jiuxiao Immortal City.

If he mentioned going to Jiuxiao Immortal City, his wives would definitely say it was dangerous and try to prevent him from going.

So he said it was just a gathering with old friends, and then some business.

After that, he took care of all his concubines and children.

“On this trip to Jiuxiao Immortal City, I can also buy a large amount of high-rank breakthrough elixir materials. Once I return, I will refine a few batches myself, and let Yun’er, Huanhuan, Zhenzhen, and Zhiyue all break through the Energy Refinement Late Stage,”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he looked at his wives’ cultivation levels.

Since they hadn’t been having more children in recent years, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Xia Zhiyue, and the others had time to practice cultivation.

All of them had reached the Sixth Level Energy Refinement.

That bottleneck from the Middle Stage Energy Refinement to the Energy Refinement Late Stage…

If they did not have the help of breakthrough elixirs, breaking through would be difficult.

As for Qu Zhenzhen, since she wasn’t very attentive to cultivation and spent most of her time on the children, she was still at the Fifth Level Energy Refinement.

Lu Changsheng didn’t say much about this, letting her be herself.

After all, if it came down to serious practice, most of his wives and concubines weren’t exactly ardent in their efforts.

Like Lu Miaohuan, for instance.

With her talent, if she had been diligently practicing, she should have broken through the Energy Refinement Late Stage by now.

“At this rate, I’m afraid the person with the second-highest cultivation level in my backyard will be Bai Ling,”

Lu Changsheng thought as he looked at Bai Ling.

Bai Ling had an exceptional talent and listened to Lu Changsheng very well.

He had told her to practice cultivation earnestly, so she had been diligently practicing every day.

By now, she too was at the Sixth Level Energy Refinement.

She probably could break through the Energy Refinement Late Stage on her own, without needing a breakthrough elixir.

“Brother,”

Upon learning that Lu Changsheng was leaving, Bai Ling also showed a face full of reluctance and hugged Lu Changsheng tightly.

The once frail and delicate little girl was now seventeen years old.

She had blossomed into an elegantly upright figure.

Her face, shaped like a melon seed, was breathtakingly beautiful.

Her delicate little features were assembled just right, pure yet subtly enchanting.

Especially the girl’s big, clear eyes, like peach blossoms, seemingly drunk yet sober, misty, seductive as silk, captivating and beguiling, stirring one’s heart and soul.

This enchantment, perfectly harmonized with her overall innocence and loveliness, seemed neither conflicting nor conspicuous. It portrayed an alluring yet forbidden temptation.

Adding to that, Bai Ling’s naturally timid and well-behaved demeanor made one want to tease her even more.

“Good girl, Ling’er,”

Lu Changsheng had watched the little girl grow up and, out of habit, fondly rubbed her small head.

Over the years, he had clearly seen Bai Ling become more and more charming and enchanting.

This allure was, seemingly, innate to her.

And as she grew older, the white scales on her body continued to grow as well.

Her tender white arms, slender neck, flat abdomen, smooth back, and well-shaped straight legs were all covered with a dense layer of white snake scales.

To this day, Lu Changsheng still hadn’t figured out what was the deal with Bai Ling’s snake scales.

But these scales, much like Bai Ling’s pure allure, blended perfectly with her fair and delicate skin, not looking out of place at all, as if she was wearing a form-fitting scale armor dress, an exotic charm of its own.

It led Lu Changsheng to speculate whether Bai Ling had Demon Race bloodlines.

As far as he knew, some people with Demon Race bloodlines in their ancestry would occasionally have a slim chance of their bloodlines reverting.

If bloodline reversion occurred, signs of demonic traits would appear.

So on this trip to Jiuxiao Immortal City, Lu Changsheng also wanted to see if he could find any related information.

After all, the grand Immortal City is bound to have a broader range of material and information than a small marketplace.
