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

Chapter 749: Chapter 279: The Auction Begins, Heavenly Longevity Technique Mastered!_1

Before she knew it, more than a month had passed.

With Hong Lian present, Lu Miaoyun’s guidance on her children’s cultivation became much simpler.

However, even with Hong Lian, not all of her children started cultivating top-tier Cultivation Techniques.

Most were still cultivating Exquisite Level Cultivation Techniques, and even Advanced Level ones.

For the majority, unless one had an exceptional talent and a perfect affinity, forcibly cultivating Peripheral Sect Level or even Orthodox Level top-tier Cultivation Techniques would yield minimal progress, despite succeeding in the initial stages, due to its inefficiency and unworthiness.

During this time, Lu Changsheng had no particular arrangements for Xu Ruyin.

...
He simply let her serve like a maid, carrying tea and water, massaging and bathing, and occasionally teasing her to add some joy to the mundane days.

Since the auction at Red Leaf Valley Market was approaching.

On this day, Lu Changsheng, accompanied by his wife Lu Miaohuan and Qu Zhenzhen, his children Lu Ping’an, Lu Xianzhi, Lu Quanzhen, Lu Qingsong, Lu Wangshu, and others, arrived at Red Leaf Valley Market to attend the auction.

Because of the fame of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, coupled with nearly half a year’s build-up by the marketplace, Red Leaf Valley Market had attracted a great number of cultivators, making it much livelier.

“You guys go have a look around on your own,”

Lu Changsheng said to Lu Ping’an and his siblings as he held onto his daughter Lu Wangshu.

Bi Lake Mountain had been in a semi-closed state for over three years, and the children had not left during that time.

Now that they rarely went out, he naturally let them roam freely.

Furthermore, with no movement from Xiahou Wuwo in over three years, Lu Changsheng also planned to lift the semi-closed state of the mountain, allowing some of his children to go out.

After all, if Xiahou Wuwo did not appear, he couldn’t keep his children confined to the Family forever.

Many of the Family’s businesses gradually needed the children to start managing them.

Moreover, in the past few years, through the collection of Talisman Making materials, he had nurtured over a dozen rare Third Rank Spirit Talismans by using the Talisman Nurturing Method.

When the time came, he could implant Life-saving Talismans into some of his children who were going out.

“Yes, Father!”

“Thank you, Father!”

The siblings replied to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Xianzhi and Lu Ruyi, who had lived in Red Leaf Valley Marketplace for a while in the early years, introduced the marketplace to their older brother, younger brother, and sisters.

Lu Changsheng strolled through the market with his wives, checking on the businesses owned by his family.

At that moment, walking through the marketplace, he encountered countless cultivators who showed him respect, admiration, envy, and infatuation.

Many young girls and female cultivators’ eyes seemed to glisten with water as they glanced at Lu Changsheng.

If he were willing at that moment, he could probably just signal, and many female cultivators would eagerly offer to become his concubines.

This was not because his charm had increased.

He had always contained the charm that emanated from him at all times.

But as his fame and status grew, so did his charm rise to a whole new level.

Lu Changsheng arrived at Peace Talisman Hall.

Under Gao He’s management and Lu Changsheng’s reputation, Peace Talisman Hall had become the number one Spirit Talisman shop in Red Leaf Valley Market.

“Old Gao, you’ve worked hard these years. If you’re thinking of retiring, you can come to Bi Lake Mountain,”

Lu Changsheng said as he saw his old friend Gao He.

The two knew each other for more than two decades. Gao He, now in his sixties, looked quite elderly with grey hair and numerous wrinkles.

His once full face was now thinner, but the traces of his former robustness remained visible.

“Thank you for the kind offer, boss,”

Gao He replied respectfully, looking at the eternally youthful, outstanding man in a blue robe before him.

He rarely saw Lu Changsheng these years.

But with every meeting, as he himself grew older and saw the forever young Lu Changsheng, he couldn’t help but be filled with emotion.

Who could have imagined that the son-in-law of the Lu Family, with whom he once bragged and discussed the Talisman Path, would now become a patriarch of a territory?

After briefly discussing the shop’s situation, Lu Changsheng left with his wives and concubines.

Upon seeing Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng asked, “Sister Miaoge, how is the collection of materials for your Water of Virtue Container and the Taichi Talisman going?”

“The materials for the Water of Virtue Container have been gathered; the Taichi Talisman is still missing two components,”

Lu Miaoge responded softly.

However, she would still need an Artifact Refiner to craft her Life-bound Spiritual Artifact.

“After the auction is over, I will craft it for you,”

Lu Changsheng said.

Because of the Cultivation Technique inheritance from the system, he had mastered crafting the Life-bound Spiritual Artifact related to the Water of Virtue Technique.

He could help Lu Miaoge craft the embryo of the Spiritual Artifact.

“Okay~”

Lu Miaoge, somewhat astonished, still chose to trust Lu Changsheng and nodded in agreement.

…

Five days later, the auction officially began.

Lu Yuanzhong, Bai Yunyang, Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family, and many powerful families from the surrounding area, along with a good number of Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, came to Red Leaf Valley Market to join the auction.

Because the auction had been hyped up for so long, several major families brought out many valuable items.

Lu Changsheng also took out some Second Rank Talismans as finale items.

“Greetings to Lu Mountain Lord! Madam Lu!”

“Daoist Zhao, Daoist Lin, Daoist Li, Daoist Xiao…”

Lu Changsheng, with his wife and holding his daughter Lu Wangshu, greeted and made small talk with the Foundation Establishment Ancestors from other family powers.

During this time, he spotted Xu Renguang.

The man’s expression carried a trace of worry.

Through casual conversation, Lu Changsheng learned that Xu Renguang was troubled because his granddaughter Xu Ruyin had run away from home, which gave Lu Changsheng a peculiar feeling.

After all, his granddaughter Xu Ruyin was currently acting as a maid in his own home.

“Thank you all, esteemed seniors and friends, for joining us. I’m Lu Quanzhen (Bai Yujun), honored to host the auction today… I wish everyone can obtain what they wish for…”

After the audience nearly filled the venue, a man and a woman stepped onto the stage of the auction.

The man was about twenty years old, wearing an elegant blue brocaded robe, with refined and handsome features, and long, deep eyes.
