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

Chapter 103: Is This Romantic Luck?

In the Spirit Talisman Shop.

Lu Changsheng sat with his eyes closed, his face solemn and stern.

Inside his Dantian, the spiritual lake was churning and rolling, flowing slowly through his meridians and limbs.

The originally pure white spiritual energy in the lake gradually took on a few colors.

Moreover, seven small sword silhouettes appeared and disappeared on the surface of the lake.

“Whoosh!”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.

“The Return to Origin Technique may be trash, but it’s not entirely useless.”

“Its spiritual energy is neutral and has no attributes, making it easy to convert to other techniques.”

“If I were to cultivate another technique, it would be difficult to convert my spiritual energy to the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique, and it might even cause my cultivation to regress.”
Lu Changsheng gazed inward at the spiritual energy in his Dantian, thinking to himself.

He had just attempted to convert his cultivation to the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique.

He needed to convert the spiritual energy of the Return to Origin Technique to the spiritual energy of the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique.

He found the process to be surprisingly smooth.

Although some spiritual energy would be lost, it wasn’t a major issue.

“It’ll take around three to four months for my spiritual energy to fully convert to the Seven Stars spiritual energy.”

“This Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique is indeed a Genuine Level technique, and the spiritual energy it cultivates is not only three to four times thicker than my original spiritual energy but also more overbearing and domineering.”

“Once my spiritual energy is fully converted to the Seven Stars spiritual energy, I’ll be able to rival Qi Refining eighth-stage or even ninth-stage cultivators.”

“This is what they mean by a solid foundation, and when I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I’ll be unstoppable!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the spiritual energy in the lake, unable to contain his excitement.

He had initially wanted a good technique to solidify his foundation and make future progress easier.

Now that he had obtained this Genuine Level technique, his foundation would be unshakeable.

“Qi Refining seventh-stage is comparable to Qi Refining ninth-stage, doesn’t that mean I’ll be able to challenge higher stages in the future?”

“No, I’ve encountered many enemies who are stronger than me, and it’s not just about cultivation level, but also about tactics.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself, then shook his head.

He suddenly felt that this situation wasn’t suitable for a technique that leaned towards killing and fighting.

On one hand, he had always been kind and didn’t like to fight.

On the other hand, he usually relied on external objects to fight, not his own cultivation level.

In this situation, cultivating a technique that focused on nurturing life or escaping would be more suitable for him.

However, since he had already obtained the technique and started cultivating, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t dwell on it.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng felt that techniques focused on nurturing life or escaping weren’t necessarily suitable for him.

As he progressed on his cultivation journey, conflicts and battles would be unavoidable.

Currently, in the Qi Refining stage, he could rely on the system’s rewards to overcome his enemies.

However, as his cultivation level increased, the help from external objects like Talismans, puppets, and treasures would dwindle.

He wouldn’t be able to rely on them to overcome his enemies like he did now.

At that time, his own cultivation would become crucial.

Looking outside, the sky had darkened.

Lu Changsheng stood up and walked out of the Spirit Talisman Shop, heading home.

And at this moment…

Above the wine shop opposite the Lu Family Spirit Talisman shop.

A beautiful young girl with a purple dress sat by the window, her face as lovely as a flower.

Her white and tender arm supported her cheek, gazing out the window with a bored expression.

When the girl saw Lu Changsheng come out of the Spirit Talisman shop, her eyes suddenly lit up.

“In order to let the Love-locking Gu recover quickly, I’m willing to pay any price, don’t let me down.”

The girl looked at Lu Changsheng’s figure, murmuring to herself.

Then, she raised her palm.

And then…

The girl’s small, white palm opened, and a blood-red, crystal-like Gu insect about an inch long emerged.

“Little guy, it’s your turn soon.”

The girl said to the Love-locking Gu.

The Gu insect seemed to understand the girl’s words, nodding its small antennae.

Seeing this, the girl also smiled, grasping her palm and walking out of the inn.

Through her observations, she had already figured out Lu Changsheng’s daily routine.

It was basically between the Spirit Talisman shop and his residence, a straight line.

And she had also staked out the area.

She knew the street Lu Changsheng would take home, which was usually deserted.

It was a good place to take action, a good opportunity.

Taking action in the city would be risky, but at the same time, people in the city would be less vigilant, making it easier to succeed.

If she chose to take action outside the city, she thought of Lu Changsheng’s Talisman treasures, his behaviour of bombarding with stacks of Talismans.

It made her think of the time she was almost killed by Lu Changsheng’s Talisman treasures.

But thinking about it, Lu Changsheng would be affected by the Love-locking Gu, and would gradually fall in love with her, making her heart feel comfortable. 𝔯ÂƝ∅𐌱Ęš

“What revenge could be better than making your former enemy fall deeply in love with you?”

The purple-dressed girl looked at Lu Changsheng’s back, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face.

When she saw Lu Changsheng enter the alley, and there was no one else around, the girl immediately called out.

“Daoist Lu, please wait!”

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng heard someone calling him, and his footsteps paused.

He turned around to see a beautiful, purple-dressed girl waving at him, walking quickly towards him.

“Ah, did you call me, miss?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the purple-dressed girl, somewhat surprised.

“That’s right, I heard that Daoist Lu is a Talisman master, so I have a favor to ask of you.”

The purple-dressed girl smiled and said, walking quickly towards Lu Changsheng.

“What is it?”

Lu Changsheng heard this and was somewhat surprised.

Although it was no secret that he was a Talisman master, he didn’t know this girl.

A stranger suddenly asking for his help made him feel puzzled.

“Just…”

The purple-dressed girl was about to speak, but a purple, eerie glow suddenly appeared in her eyes.

It was as if her eyes were shining brightly, captivating Lu Changsheng’s soul, making him feel dizzy for a moment.

However, just as Lu Changsheng was about to fall into a trance, the Cold Jade Spirit Pendant on his chest emitted a clear, spiritual energy.

This allowed him to quickly regain his senses.

“Not good!”

Lu Changsheng came back to his senses, immediately realizing that something was off.

The purple-dressed girl in front of him was suspicious!

The other party had just cast some kind of spell on him.

He was about to activate the protective charm of his law robe and the Cold Jade Pendant.

However, at that instant, he felt a numb and piercing pain in his neck.

It was as if something had bitten him.

Causing his spirit to tremble slightly.

But in that instant,

“Rumble!”

Lu Changsheng felt a powerful will erupting from the Peach Blossom Gu between his eyebrows.

This will was like a volcanic eruption, overflowing like a river.

It was like a majestic beast that was provoked and released its majesty!

It suppressed his throbbing mind.

The pink peach blossom mark that had been hidden in Lu Changsheng’s forehead could not help but emerge automatically, with a bright pink light.

“Hissss!”

As the Peach Blossom Gu’s will erupted, a faint humming sound arose.

Lu Changsheng immediately heard a faint ‘buzzing’ sound.

And saw a small, entirely blood-red insect quickly flying away from his neck.

Lu Changsheng saw this and immediately used his spiritual power to wrap his hand, grasping the small creature tightly.

Like an eagle catching a rabbit, he directly grasped the small thing in his hand.

Then, he took out a stack of Talismans and looked at the purple-clothed girl in front of him.

“Hissss!”

The purple-skirted girl groaned at this moment

She looked at Lu Changsheng with disbelief.

Unaware of what was happening.

The Love-locking Gu had somehow gone wrong.

In that instant, she felt a powerful will emanating from the Love-locking Gu, causing her spirit to tremble.

Seeing Lu Changsheng, the two of them locked eyes.

Under this gaze, the purple-clothed girl’s heart fluttered.

Feeling a special emotion rising in her heart.

Making her feel that the Lu Changsheng in front of her was extremely pleasing to the eye, and she unconsciously wanted to get close to him.

“What’s going on!?”

This emotion had just risen in her heart, and the purple-clothed girl realized something was amiss.

She had a very clear understanding of herself.

The Lu Changsheng in front of her was handsome and extraordinary, but was she someone who would be swayed by appearances?

How could she possibly develop feelings for someone just because of their looks?

Besides, she had been secretly observing Lu Changsheng for some time.

And had never had such emotions before.

“Is the Love-locking Gu malfunctioning?”

“Could it be… that the Gu Insect is counter-attacking?”

Seeing the pink peach blossom mark on Lu Changsheng’s forehead, the purple-clothed girl suspected that something was amiss.

Lu Changsheng must have some kind of extraordinary treasure.

Or a Gu Insect even more powerful and overbearing than the Love-locking Gu.

Causing her Love-locking Gu to fail and triggering a counter-attack.

“This is impossible!”

“The Love-locking Gu is already close to being a Heavenly Spirit Gu, even if it’s severely injured and hasn’t recovered, it shouldn’t have a counter-attack like this.”

“How could he possibly have such a treasure, or a Heavenly Spirit Gu, which is almost extinct?”

As soon as this guess emerged, the purple-clad girl’s heart was like a stormy sea, filled with disbelief.

She looked at Lu Changsheng in front of her, and felt a sense of intimacy growing in her heart.

This intimacy made her feel unprecedented terror.

As the host of Love-locking Gu, she was very clear about Love-locking Gu’s overbearing nature.

Once someone was bitten by Love-locking Gu, they would uncontrollably develop romantic feelings towards her.

These romantic feelings would intensify with time and contact.

Ultimately, the love would become irresistible, and they would even be willing to die for her!

Now that the Gu Insect had counterattacked, Love-locking Gu’s effects had reversed, falling onto herself, the host.

So, from now on, she would uncontrollably develop romantic feelings towards Lu Changsheng in front of her, gradually falling deeply in love, and even willing to die for him!

“Haha!”

Before she could think further, Lu Changsheng had already used a Talisman, and was driving the Qingyan Sword to attack her.

Even though dueling was forbidden in the city, Lu Changsheng couldn’t just stand by and do nothing when the purple-clad girl attacked him.

“No way, I must leave quickly, and get far away!”

“I must escape the influence of Love-locking Gu!”

The girl saw the incoming attack, and didn’t dare think twice.

She formed a protective aura around herself, took out several Talismans, and used them to directly counter Lu Changsheng’s attack.

Then, with a muffled hum, she transformed into a residual shadow and quickly escaped.

At this moment, she didn’t dare think too much.

She didn’t even care about the Love-locking Gu she had obtained with great difficulty, which had fallen into Lu Changsheng’s hands.

She just wanted to leave quickly, while Love-locking Gu’s effects had not yet influenced her mind.

Get far away from Lu Changsheng’s location.

Otherwise, as time passed, the closer she got to him, the faster her romantic feelings would spread.

By then, even if Lu Changsheng wanted to kill her, she would still be willing.

Lu Changsheng saw the purple-clad girl transform into a residual shadow and disappear, and wanted to chase after her, but thought better of it.

Her speed was too fast, and without using Talismans, he couldn’t catch up.

Besides, they were in a busy street.

There were people coming and going, and he couldn’t take out a large number of Talismans.

“Who is she, and why did she suddenly attack me?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the spot where the purple-clad girl had disappeared, feeling puzzled.

He didn’t know when he had offended her, and why she had attacked him.

“Could it be because of those stolen goods, and someone was watching me?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

But he felt it was unlikely.

If someone was watching him, they wouldn’t attack him in the city like that.

Later…

He looked at the small thing he had caught in his hand.

It was a less-than-inch-long, entirely blood-red insect.

“What is this?”

“Insect, Gu Insect?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the blood-red Gu Insect in his hand, which was trembling slightly, and frowned.

“Could it be that she was trying to poison me just now?”

He thought back to when he was bitten by the blood-red Gu Insect, and his heart had been stirred.

Immediately after, the Peach Blossom Gu on his forehead had burst forth with a strong will, suppressing the disturbance, and Lu Changsheng had a guess.

After obtaining the Peach Blossom Gu, Lu Changsheng had also read a lot of information about Gu Insects.

He knew that Gu Insects were like demonic beasts.

Their bloodline suppression was very severe.

For example, the Nine Netherworld Hound, a heavenly demonic beast, had a bloodline suppression effect on ordinary demonic beasts.

Ordinary demonic beasts, when facing the Nine Netherworld Hound, would have their battle strength reduced by third due to the pressure.

Gu Insect was no exception.

In fact, it was even more severe.

He had the Peach Blossom Gu, a Heavenly Spirit Gu, which could immunize him against many Gu Insect effects.

If other Gu Insects were to infect him, it would be equivalent to provoking the Peach Blossom Gu, triggering its instinctive resistance.

Earlier, the Peach Blossom Gu had sensed this situation.

Just then, the Peach Blossom Gu in his eyebrow transmitted a faint wave.

Indicating that he had just received a wave of Romantic Luck.

“Romantic Luck?”

“This is great, where did this Romantic Luck come from?”

Lu Changsheng furrowed his brow, feeling puzzled.

He couldn’t understand how this Romantic Luck had occurred.

“Wait, could this Romantic Luck be related to that purple-clothed girl?”

Lu Changsheng thought back to the purple-clothed girl who had escaped earlier.

“But how did I get Romantic Luck with her?”

“The Peach Blossom Gu has received Romantic Luck, indicating that I have a peach blossom relationship with her.”

“But I’ve only just met her, how did this happen?”

Lu Changsheng was completely baffled at this moment.

He couldn’t understand the situation with the purple-clothed girl and this Romantic Luck.

“Wait, I remember reading about a Gu Insect called the Love Insect in a book.”

“This Love Insect is a type of mother-child Gu, where the mother Gu can implant the child Gu into someone, making them fall in love with the owner and unable to leave them for life.”

“Could it be that this Gu Insect is the Love Insect I read about in ancient texts?”

“Did the purple-clothed girl try to infect me with the Love Insect, but because of the Peach Blossom Gu, I didn’t fall in love with her, and instead, she fell in love with me?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the blood-colored Gu Insect in his hand, his eyes narrowing as he made a guess.

Although this guess was far-fetched.

But Lu Changsheng could only think of this possibility.

It was a forced explanation, but he couldn’t think of anything else.

“If that’s the case, it’s too ridiculous.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, feeling that if this were true, the Peach Blossom Gu’s Romantic Luck was too overbearing.

It was like being forced into a situation.

He hadn’t even seen the girl before, and yet, he had received Romantic Luck.

“But the Love Insect shouldn’t be like this, right?”

“The Love Insect is a type of mother-child Gu, where the host has the mother Gu, and the target needs to be implanted with the child Gu.”

“Only then will the target fall in love with the host and be unable to leave them.”

“This Gu Insect bit me, and under the Peach Blossom Gu’s will, it immediately wanted to escape, which doesn’t match the description of the Love Insect.”

“Or perhaps this is a Gu Insect similar to the Love Insect?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the blood-colored Gu Insect in his hand, feeling that it didn’t quite match the description of the Love Insect he had read about.

“Whatever, I’m too lazy to think about it.”

Lu Changsheng was too lazy to continue thinking about it.

He touched the wound on his neck.

There was only a small wound, which had almost healed.

In his heart, he thought that this blood-colored Gu Insect was quite formidable.

To think that he had cultivated the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, making his physical body comparable to magical weapons.

Yet, this blood-colored Gu Insect had managed to break through his defenses with just one bite.

“However, this Peach Blossom Gu is really difficult to handle. It’s good, but every time it’s a bit mysterious.”

“And if things go wrong, it might lead to a catastrophe, becoming a Peach Blossom Calamity.”

Lu Changsheng felt a bit frustrated about this unpredictable Romantic Luck.

Every time there was Romantic Luck, it would be accompanied by unexpected events.

Especially the first time, when he directly got a Core Formation sister.

If he had made a slight mistake back then, it would have led to a Peach Blossom Calamity.

But he couldn’t bear to give up the Peach Blossom Gu.

“At least the benefits of the Peach Blossom Gu outweigh its drawbacks. Not only does it bring Romantic Luck, but it also makes me immune to the effects of most Gu Insects.”

“Otherwise, situations like this would be dangerous.”

“Really, if I were to be infatuated with someone, that would be a disaster.”

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.

“Ah, the methods of cultivators are truly unpredictable, making it difficult for people to guard against them.”

“I should be more careful and vigilant in the future. Although the city prohibits private dueling, it doesn’t mean there’s no danger.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Thinking back to the situation earlier, he realized he had indeed been too careless, leading to some passivity.

“But how should I handle this thing?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the blood-colored Gu Insect in his hand.

He suddenly thought about how to deal with this Gu Insect.
