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

Chapter 559: Chapter 221: Demon Race Cultivation Technique, Heading to Green River District (Extra for 1000 Monthly Votes)_2

Knowing that these two generally sought him out for serious matters, Lu Changsheng was certain something important was at hand.

“Changsheng.”

Lu Yuanding and Lu Miaochang, who had been waiting in the hall, stood up and greeted him immediately upon seeing Lu Changsheng’s arrival.

Their manners were obviously much more courteous than usual.

“Father-in-law, Family Head, have you come because there is something you need?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

...
He had no idea what matter they would need to discuss with him today, having just spoken with them yesterday.

Right away, Lu Miaochang indicated that although the Foundation Establishment ceremony would not be held, they would still celebrate it within the family.

Additionally, several familiar families would send representatives to offer their congratulations.

Moreover, in the Cultivation World, the advanced are honored first!

Among the Immortal Sects, once someone makes a major breakthrough in their realm, their generational status is automatically elevated!

This was the same for the cultivating families of Qingzhu Mountain.

As long as one broke through to Foundation Establishment, they would be promoted to the status of Family Ancestor!

This was a matter of identity and status!

This way, no one in the family would disrespect a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator by pulling rank due to age.

Now that Lu Changsheng had broken through Foundation Establishment, he should be promoted to the status of Family Ancestor!

Therefore, during the family celebration, a ceremony would be held to formally announce Lu Changsheng as the Lu Family Ancestor.

“This, as for the matter of Foundation Establishment, isn’t it enough that everyone knows about it? There’s no need for the title of Ancestor.”

Lu Changsheng spoke with a slight frown upon hearing this.

He was not eager to carry the title of Lu Family Ancestor of Qingzhu Mountain.

Bearing this title, he felt it would be extremely awkward to face his wife, Lu Yuanding, the Fourth Elder, and others in the future.

Moreover, since he had already begun preparations to establish his own family, what need was there to take on the title of Lu Family Ancestor?

“Changsheng, this is the rule of our Qingzhu Mountain.”

“Now that you have ascended to Foundation Establishment, you should rightfully become the Family Ancestor.”

Lu Yuanding tried to persuade Lu Changsheng.

Now that Lu Changsheng had broken through to Foundation Establishment, they naturally had to give him the treatment he deserved.

“Father-in-law, the title of Ancestor really isn’t necessary.”

“To me, knowing about the Foundation Establishment is enough; there’s no need for any ceremony.”

“You know I’ve never liked trouble.”

Lu Changsheng spoke firmly.

“This…”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanding pondered for a moment before saying, “If that’s the case, how about you take on the position of the Great Elder of the family?”

The powers of the Great Elder of the Lu Family were immense.

Responsible for the family’s finances and assisting the Family Head in managing family affairs.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng was still going to refuse, Lu Yuanding immediately spoke solemnly, expressing that now Lu Changsheng had broken through Foundation Establishment to become a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, the family naturally had to give him the suitable recognition.

Otherwise, it would appear that their Lu Family could not accommodate talented individuals!

As for the duties of the Great Elder, if Lu Changsheng was unwilling to manage affairs, he could simply hold the title, as the current Ninth Elder did.

Since his father-in-law had spoken to this extent, Lu Changsheng could only agree.

He was well aware that the current state of the Lu Family meant they couldn’t provide much in terms of benefits and treatment.

Therefore, they had to give him enough respect in terms of titles.

Though Lu Changsheng didn’t mind these things,

it was good that the Lu Family itself had this awareness and attitude.

“Alright, let’s do as you say, father-in-law.”

“As for the duties, let’s just keep things as they are. You know I usually don’t like to manage affairs.”

Lu Changsheng spoke.

“Good.”

Lu Yuanding showed a slight smile and nodded upon hearing this.

He knew in his heart that even though he had offered Lu Changsheng the title of Great Elder, Lu Changsheng was definitely not keen on managing affairs or getting involved in family business.

Afterward, Lu Yuanding informed Lu Changsheng that a cave dwelling had been prepared for him in the family’s core area.

If Lu Changsheng wanted to cultivate on a daily basis, he could use this place for his cultivation.

Moreover, considering Ling Zixiao’s situation and out of respect for Lu Changsheng, the Lu Family had also prepared a dwelling for Ling Zixiao.

Such dwellings were located around the spiritual focal points of the spirit veins on Qingzhu Mountain, where the spiritual energy was incredibly dense.

Shortly after, Lu Yuanding took Lu Changsheng to see the cave dwelling.

Lu Changsheng briefly checked it out.

The spiritual energy was indeed very dense.

Even though it wasn’t as good as the ‘A’ ranked cave dwelling he used in the Qingyun Market when he broke through to Foundation Establishment,

it was still much richer in spiritual energy than his current residence.

“Thank you, father-in-law.”

Lu Changsheng expressed his gratitude aloud.

“This is what the family should do. Changsheng, right now the family’s situation is such that we indeed cannot provide you with much in the way of resources…”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanding sighed slightly and said to Lu Changsheng.

“Father-in-law, I understand.”

“Don’t worry, things will get better slowly.”

After so many years together, Lu Changsheng knew what kind of person his father-in-law, Lu Yuanding, was.

The man wasn’t trying to play the victim in saying this; it was an expression of helplessness.

Over the past few days, Lu Changsheng had come to roughly understand the Lu Family’s situation: the family savings had been nearly spent in the attempt to support Lu Miao Feng’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, due to Lu Yuanzhong’s health, the family had scaled back many of their businesses, leading to reduced family income.

The current situation was indeed not so great.

“I’m sorry for the hardship, Changsheng.”

Lu Yuanding sighed again deeply and patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder as he spoke.

“No matter, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility,”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

During their casual conversation, Lu Yuanding asked Lu Changsheng when he planned to head to Green River Marketplace.

“Father-in-law, I’m planning to go there tomorrow.”

Lu Changsheng said.

He had decided long ago to stay at home for three days before heading to Green River Marketplace to pick up Lu Miaoge and the children.

It was also a good opportunity to see Xiao Xiyue.

Having not seen each other for over a year, now that he was back, it was naturally time to meet.

He could also inquire about the value of the Qingyun Sect token he had obtained from Chiyun True Immortal.

“Good, be careful on the road when you go.”

Lu Yuanding nodded and responded after hearing the plan.

He also suggested that Lu Changsheng could conceal his identity when leaving.

Following the incident with Lu Miao Feng, Lu Yuanding was somewhat worried that other family forces might harm Lu Changsheng.
