Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 2036: 538: Little Sister, Have You Fallen for Him? (part 2)

Lu Changsheng received the jade slip from the graceful woman’s hand, seeing inside it contained many rare materials, heaven and earth spiritual materials, and even several Nascent Soul spiritual objects.

Although there was nothing that Lu Changsheng absolutely needed.

But there were still many things he could use, such as auxiliary medicines for the Infant Transformation Elixir, the Heaven-replenishing Elixir, pills to enhance a cultivator’s physique and improve cultivation level, and excellent spiritual materials for refining magical treasures and puppets.

After selecting a few items, Lu Changsheng inquired about the recent events at Penglai Immortal City with Shen Yiren.

”This matter might be related to the Six Paths Palace...”

Unlike her two sisters, Shen Yiren did not play too many tricks or deliberately withhold information, and spoke openly with Lu Changsheng about some secrets of the Star Sea Thieves.

She also advised Lu Changsheng to be cautious of the Star Sea Thieves in the future.

”This matter has burdened Daoist Xuanmu because of me.”

Shen Yiren knew that if not for Huang’s disciple encountering danger, Lu Changsheng would not have needed to use such a trump card as the Fourth Rank Puppet.

”The Third Palace Master is too kind. As an Honorary Elder of the Goddess Palace, in such a situation, I should naturally do my utmost. Besides, if the entanglement continues and other Star Sea Thieves arrive, I would also be in danger.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the graceful woman in front of him, speaking seriously to alleviate Shen Yiren’s psychological burden.

However, the more he did so, the more guilty Shen Yiren felt, then she spoke about some recent rumors in the Immortal City, indicating that the Star Sea Thieves secretly spread the news that he had a Fourth Rank Puppet.

So it was very likely that someone would want to ambush him in secret and seize his Fourth Rank Puppet.

As for some rumors about her and Lu Changsheng, Shen Yiren naturally heard them but did not mention them.

”Thank you for the reminder, Third Palace Master. I will be careful.”

Lu Changsheng had been in ”closed-door cultivation” lately and had not paid much attention to external rumors.

However, he had anticipated such matters long ago and did not take them too seriously. He then took the opportunity to chat with Shen Yiren to inquire more about the Starry Sky Sea.

During this process, Lu Changsheng also casually revealed a little of his growth and introduced the customs and traditions of the Southern Wilderness Northern Domain to foster a closer relationship with her.

”I never expected Daoist Xuanmu to come from such a humble Foundation Establishment family...”

As the Third Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, Shen Yiren enjoyed exceptionally superior conditions from a young age.

Even though she was aware of the hardships of the mortal world, she had never discussed life with a male cultivator who truly rose from the ”bottom layer” like Lu Changsheng, finding it an unprecedentedly novel experience.

”Lost in the mulberry, gained in the eastern corner. Although born into a Foundation Establishment family, it is an extremely valuable treasure in my life...”

Although these words were mostly fabricated, when Lu Changsheng recalled his past life on Qingzhu Mountain, he was filled with emotion, so his words carried genuine sincerity, making them persuasive.

Lu Changsheng did not dwell too much on this subject, instead, he engaged in a wide-ranging discussion with Shen Yiren about cultivation, the Hundred Arts, and their views on matters.

This mutual engagement gradually drew Shen Yiren into Lu Changsheng’s rhythm.

She realized that although the other party came from humble beginnings, his vision and understanding surpassed her own as the offspring of privilege, filling her with admiration.

Unknowingly, several hours had passed, and Shen Yiren noticed it had been quite a while, so she spoke up to bid farewell.

Lu Changsheng did not insist, his smile was gentle, and he expressed a hint of reluctance as he saw her off.

”Daoist Xuanmu, I have another slightly presumptuous question. How confident are you in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?”

As they walked out of Rongyue Island, Shen Yiren looked at Lu Changsheng, whose appearance was scholarly and handsome, with a faint smile always at the corner of his mouth. Lightly pursing her lips, she voiced her question.

”Hmm?”

Confronted with this question, Lu Changsheng immediately pondered her intention.

But considering the kind and virtuous character of this Third Palace Master, he gently said, ”I won’t hide it from Daoist Shen, my opportunities and foundation do not fall short of those of a major sect’s true inheritor, and I also have a Superior Grade Golden Core.”

”So, with years of preparation, I have a 30% chance of achieving the Nascent Soul!”

To be honest, claiming to have a 100% chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul was clearly impossible and would only be seen as madness.

So Lu Changsheng chose a relatively realistic probability.

”30%...”

Shen Yiren nodded lightly, aware that without the support of a Nascent Soul force, this probability already surpassed that of most Core Formation cultivators.

Even for herself, with an Immortal Golden Core and superior cultivation techniques, the chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul was only about 60-70%.

Therefore, she was still gathering resources through secret techniques and treasures.

”From your age, I estimate you haven’t yet reached the Nascent Soul’s limit. If time allows, you could prepare a bit more. If you need, the Goddess Palace also has some insights and secret techniques about the Nascent Soul.”

Shen Yiren had a very favorable impression of Lu Changsheng.

Although she knew he was hiding much information in his words, after their interaction, she chose to believe him and was willing to help him increase his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul.

”Thank you, Daoist Shen.”

Facing this kind-hearted and virtuous Third Palace Master, even the ever-fibbing Lu Ancestor felt a bit guilty.

He thought that if he continued to deceive like this, once he truly succeeded, he wouldn’t know how to cover up his lies.

...

”Little Sister.”

Shen Yiren had just returned to Divine Maiden Peak when she saw a stunning figure standing gracefully on the steps of her palace.

Wearing a red dress as bright as flaming clouds, the figure seemed like a blooming, strikingly beautiful peony amidst the glow of blazing sunset, dazzling and bold.

”Second Sister, you’re back?”

Shen Yiren called softly.

Although she had a good relationship with Shen Baishuang and interacted well, it was not as intimate as with her eldest sister, Shen Jianjia.

The reason was simple: the two sisters’ personalities didn’t match.

Shen Yiren always thought her second sister, Shen Baishuang, acted too bluntly and domineeringly, doing things entirely according to her own will and without regard for others.
