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

Chapter 197: Grand Ceremony Celebration, Promoted to Fourth Grade Spiritual Root! (3)

”Once I’m more familiar with Second Rank Talismans and my success rate in Talisman Making improves, it won’t be too late to hold the ceremony.”

Lu Changsheng mused for a moment.

Since a grand ceremony was involved, there could be disruptions with people causing trouble, provocation, or even questioning it.

Although he was equipped with Second Grade Talisman-Making Skills and feared no challenges or doubts,

It wouldn’t be good to show his remarkable abilities too soon after becoming a Second Grade Talisman Master.

Therefore, he would wait and, should such a situation arise, he would be better prepared to address it.

”Alright, let’s follow Changsheng’s suggestion.”

”Just let Miaochang know when you’re ready,”

Lu Yuanzhong said, nodding his head upon hearing this.

He found Lu Changsheng’s words to make sense.
”Good, Changsheng, just let me know when you’re ready,”

Lu Miaochang immediately nodded and said.

He also mentioned that if Lu Changsheng needed to draw from the family’s Talisman Making materials, he could simply speak to him directly.

As for the other benefits, since Lu Changsheng was already a Family Elder, there was no way to promote him further,

They could only increase his monthly supply of materials for Second Grade Talisman Making.

To this, Lu Changsheng didn’t have much to say.

He was aware that a family’s resources were limited and that they couldn’t completely dedicate them to supporting one person’s advancement to Second Grade Talisman Master.

That night.

”Yun’er, what’s on your mind?”

Lu Changsheng noticed that his wife, Lu Miaoyun, seemed to be preoccupied with thoughts.

”Husband, am I useless?”

Lu Miaoyun looked up with pursed lips and asked.

Lu Changsheng, upon hearing this, had a hunch that his revealing of being a Second Grade Talisman Master today might have put pressure on Lu Miaoyun, making her feel insecure, so he couldn’t help but think more about it.

He immediately reassured his wife by holding her delicate shoulders, saying, “How could that be? If it wasn’t for you managing our home so well, how could I focus on cultivating the Talisman Path with such ease.”

”You shouldn’t overthink it. We are husband and wife, bound to progress together for the rest of our lives.”

Lu Changsheng embraced his wife, comforting her with his warm voice.

Despite typically being knowledgeable and sensible, the epitome of the wise matron managing the household well,

Lu Changsheng knew that Lu Miaoyun was actually of a more delicate and gentle nature.

Now, facing his situation, she, as his wife, felt some pressure, which made him think further.

”Husband.”

Lu Miaoyun’s moist and glossy lips barely parted as she stared blankly at her own husband.

”Your husband is here, always by your side.”

”Don’t overthink things; if you have something on your mind, just speak to me about it directly.”

Lu Changsheng looked at her face, beautiful as the blooming flowers, and spoke with a tender voice.

He wasn’t a heartless man.

Although marrying and having children were parts of his life, he would still fulfill his responsibilities.

A virtuous wife supports my lofty aspirations; in turn, I’ll reward my virtuous wife with a wealth of gold.”

”Husband.”

Lu Miaoyun’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she called out softly, nestling into Lu Changsheng’s embrace.

”Let’s sleep.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly, revealing his wife’s previously cute and naive side.

”Mhm.”

As Lu Miaoyun heard his words, she softly replied, the tic toc of her lashes indicating her tranquil state as she gradually fell asleep.

Lu Changsheng watched his petite, lovely wife in his arms, listening to her steady breathing, feeling a profound sense of peace in his heart.

…

Time flew like water, and in the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

On this day, Lu Changsheng was accompanying Xiao Xiyue on a stroll through the streets.

Being six months pregnant, Xiao Xiyue’s belly was quite obvious now.

And as the pregnancy progressed, this normally aloof and pure Fairy of the Moon Palace was no longer as indifferent as before.

She would occasionally touch her protruding belly with a look of maternal radiance on her face.

”Changsheng, the baby is kicking me.”

Xiao Xiyue said, acting coquettishly to Lu Changsheng as she felt the baby’s movements.

”Alright, I’ve noted it, and once he is born, I’ll discipline him for you.”

Lu Changsheng immediately stroked the Fairy’s jade-like belly, speaking softly.

”Humph, what kind of father holds a grudge against his own child?”

Xiao Xiyue said, pinching Lu Changsheng in response.

”If someone bullies my wife, of course, I’ll hold a grudge.”

Lu Changsheng hummed.

Just then, a mysterious tremor came, accompanied by the sound of a system notification.

[Congratulations, Host, for reaching a count of 35 descendants with Spiritual Roots, you have earned one lottery opportunity!]

This mysterious vibration was not a fleeting one.

Rather, it caused a tremor throughout his body, filling Lu Changsheng’s heart with an indescribable joy.

He knew that his Spiritual Root had ascended.

It had advanced from a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root to a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root.

”This child’s Spiritual Root is at least a Fifth Grade, and possibly even a Fourth Grade!”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself with excitement.

Previously, he had only three descendants with a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root.

With such Lower Grade Spiritual Roots, it was somewhat difficult for his own Fifth Grade Spiritual Root to advance to a Fourth Grade.

Now that his own Spiritual Root had directly advanced to Fourth Grade, he knew that this child’s Spiritual Root was exceptionally good.

”It’s about time. After having one hundred and forty-one children, I’ve finally had a stroke of good luck.”

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.

However, glancing at Xiao Xiyue beside him, he held his peace, reined in his spirit, and pretended as if nothing had happened, continuing to stroll with her casually. ŔἈꞐＯ𐌱Ëṥ

After the two had wandered for another half an hour, they returned to their cave dwelling.

And at that time, Lu Changsheng went to the quiet room by himself.

”System.”

Lu Changsheng mentally called out.

[Name: Lu Changsheng]

[Identity: Ninth Elder of Qingzhu Mountain]

[Cultivation Level: Foundation Establishment, First Layer]

[Lifespan: 35/269]

[Talent: Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, Gengjin Body Constitution (Intermediate Spiritual Body)]

[Cultivation Technique: Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, Yin Yang Harmony Technique, Immortal Beauty Technique]

[Spells: Seven Luminaries Sword Light, Seven Luminaries Sword Shield, Seven Luminaries Sword Escape…]

[Items: Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi, Luminous Treasure Tree, Golden Armor Bean Mother, Black Dragon Magical Bead, Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates, Life-Substituting Talisman, Profound Origin Bead, Coagulation Crystal Elixir…]

[Skills: Talisman Making (Second Rank), Puppetry (Second Rank), Spirit Slaughterer (Second Rank)]

[Spiritual Pets: Nine Netherhound, Peach Blossom Gu, Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, Hope Gu]

[Descendants: 141/144]

”A Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, just one more step and I’ll have an Upper Grade Spiritual Root.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the accurately displayed Fourth Grade Spiritual Root on the system panel, feeling elated.

Then he glanced at the descendant section.

With a slight move of his spirit, he found his newly born child.

[Name: Unnamed]

[Lifespan: 1/79]

[Talent: Fourth Grade Spiritual Root]

[Cultivation Level: None]

”A Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, it really is a Fourth Grade!”

Lu Changsheng looked at this child with great surprise.

He had previously guessed that this child was at least a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, and possibly even a Fourth Grade.

Now, seeing it confirmed on the system panel, he was finally assured.

”With a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, apart from Qingshan, this child has the best talent among all my children.”

Lu Changsheng was very pleased.

The most talented of his children was originally Lu Qingshan with a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root, who possessed the Gengjin Body Constitution.

This child’s Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, although not as good as Lu Qingshan’s, was still quite excellent.

He believed that with his guidance, this child would have no trouble achieving Foundation Establishment in the future.

”A Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, if I so desire, I could even consider sending him to an Immortal Sect later.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Although he felt capable of nurturing the child himself, he also entertained the idea of diversifying.

Some children he could cultivate at home, others he could send to Immortal Sects.

This approach not only saved resources and provided better growth environments for the children, but could also expand the family’s network of connections.

Moreover, sending a child to the Qingyun Sect would mean Xiao Xiyue could help look after them.

”However, there’s a downside to everything; sending children to Immortal Sects would undoubtedly diminish their proximity and connection to the family.”

”And sending them to Immortal Sects with all the competition and Sect responsibilities, it may not necessarily be better than being in the family.”

”Well, that’s still a ways off, no need to rush.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly, not dwelling on the matter.

Mentally, he said: “System, draw the lottery!”

Since he was entitled to a lottery, he naturally wouldn’t hold onto it, instead planning to use it right away.

Immediately, the system’s attribute panel blurred and transformed into the familiar lottery wheel.

”Draw the lottery!”

Looking at the lottery wheel, Lu Changsheng’s spirit stirred as he began to participate in the draw.
