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

Chapter 499: Chapter 201: 99 Wind-Fire-Thunder Talisman Array!_1

“Zi Xiao, did you have any business at the Treasure Elixir Pavilion earlier?”

Aboard the Spirit Boat, Lu Changsheng asked Ling Zixiao.

“I saw that lord husband had quite a fateful encounter with the two young ladies.”

“Considering that we are now departing, and the sisters will be left alone and helpless in Immortal City, it’s quite pitiable, so I introduced them to a few good friends to get acquainted.”

“That way, they can seek help if anything arises in the future.”

Ling Zixiao spoke with an elegant demeanor, her voice gentle and warm.

...
With a light smile and a trace of teasing, she said, “I noticed that the two young ladies seemed quite reluctant to part with Lu Lang, probably harboring quite a bit of affection.”

“If Lu Lang is willing, a simple invitation may be all it takes for them to wish to depart with you.”

Ling Zixiao’s lips curled with a hint of teasing.

“It was but a passing acquaintance, and their attachment to the Treasure Elixir Pavilion is quite evident.”

“So why make them leave Jiuxiao Immortal City and accompany me to such an insignificant place?”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said softly.

Just as Ling Zixiao had said, if he were to invite Li Xingruo and her sister to come with him, they would certainly give it serious thought.

But after considering, he chose not to do so.

For one thing, extending an invitation didn’t necessarily guarantee acceptance.

After all, his relationship with the sisters hadn’t reached such a deep level yet.

And the sisters obviously had deep feelings for the Treasure Elixir Pavilion, which wouldn’t be easy to cut off.

Otherwise, they could have simply sold or transferred the shop during their difficult times and chosen to leave.

With Li Xingruo’s talent in alchemy, relying on the wealth left by her parents, she would obviously fare better without sticking to the Treasure Elixir Pavilion.

On the other hand, he also had to consider on what grounds he would invite them back with him.

If the two agreed, how would he settle them?

As concubines?

As alchemy service workers?

As guest elders?

Thus, Lu Changsheng thought it over and decided against it.

After all, his fundamental principle was that if he brought someone home with him, he should fulfill a certain duty and responsibility.

He currently had a lot to attend to.

For the time being, he didn’t want to allocate too much of his time and energy to this matter.

Upon hearing this, Ling Zixiao merely smiled faintly and said no more.

She looked at the surrounding scenery nonchalantly and asked, “Where in Qingyun Region does Lu Lang reside?”

“Qingzhu Mountain.”

“According to the distance of our journey, it will probably take four or five months to arrive.”

Lu Changsheng said aloud.

On his way back, he certainly couldn’t rush the entire journey.

He would need to stop and rest along the way and alleviate the Dragon Roar of Yang Energy from Ling Zixiao.

“Qingzhu Mountain,” Ling Zixiao repeated, nodding thoughtfully as she heard this.

She had previously purchased information about Lu Changsheng from Heaven Knowledge Tower.

She knew that Lu Changsheng came from the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain.

However, the situation she had come to understand through interacting with Lu Changsheng did not match what Heaven Knowledge Tower had on record about him.

“I’ve had some fortunate encounters, so I tend to hide my abilities in Qingzhu Mountain.”

“On this trip back, I will need you, Zi Xiao, to keep some of my affairs a secret….”

Lu Changsheng spoke, not hiding any information and sharing some details about himself.

In front of Ling Zixiao, he had revealed his second-tier top-level alchemy skills.

Although he was prepared to show his alchemy skills upon returning to Qingzhu Mountain, he couldn’t possibly reveal everything at once.

It required a systematic and gradual process.

“Please rest assured, lord husband,” Ling Zixiao responded after hearing this, her face showcasing an elegant, gentle smile.

She knew the information from Heaven Knowledge Tower was not incorrect.

It was just that Lu Changsheng had been concealing his skills deeply.

This made her inwardly marvel at the extent of his concealment.

According to the information from Heaven Knowledge Tower, Lu Changsheng was not yet forty.

At that age, not only had he broken through to Foundation Establishment, he had also elevated both alchemy and talisman making to the second rank.

This was astonishing.

She, with her innate talent for the Formation Path and under the tutelage of a master, was able to reach her current level.

Yet, according to the information from Heaven Knowledge Tower, Lu Changsheng had been rejected during an Immortal Sects assessment at Qingyun Sect and had become a son-in-law taken into the Lu Family.

This indicated that Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Root Talent must be rather ordinary.

And as a son-in-law taken into the Lu Family, even if he was exceptionally talented in the Talisman Path and Alchemy, without a prominent teacher’s guidance, it would be very difficult to achieve such accomplishments.

Besides, managing to succeed in talisman crafting, alchemy, and cultivation simultaneously was extraordinary.

Without contemplating too deeply on this matter, she continued to chat leisurely with Lu Changsheng.

Talking about her own experiences and past helped foster an emotional bond between them.

“Hm!?”

After they had been casually talking for a long time, Lu Changsheng’s brows suddenly furrowed.

“Lu Lang, what’s wrong?” Ling Zixiao asked, noticing the change in his expression.

“It seems that we have been targeted since leaving Immortal City,” said Lu Changsheng, his brows relaxing into a wry smile.

Thanks to the Purple Mansion Elixir, his Divine Sense had already progressed to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Just now, he had sensed a breath of aura moving swiftly in their direction, yet maintaining a certain distance from his Spirit Boat.

Having experienced several robber cultivator incidents in the past, Lu Changsheng immediately surmised that the person was probably targeting him and Ling Zixiao.

Thinking of attacking once they were a certain distance away from Immortal City.

“Targeted?” Ling Zixiao briefly paused, surprised at his remark.

Although her physical condition was extremely weak due to the Dragon Roar Physique, and she had only one-tenth of her mana, her Divine Sense was unimpaired.

Moreover, having cultivated a Divine Consciousness Technique and taken special elixirs for this aspect, her Divine Sense was much stronger than her peers, comparable to that of someone at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Yet she hadn’t noticed any pursuit.

However, since Lu Changsheng had mentioned it, she naturally didn’t doubt him.

After all, having sold her shop and leaving Jiuxiao Immortal City, it made sense if someone was covertly watching her, perhaps intending to kill for loot.
