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

Chapter 212: Master Lu, I Fell in Love with You at First Sight!

Lu Changsheng’s promotion to a Second Grade Talisman Master and the upcoming ceremony celebrating this feat spread rapidly through the entirety of Qingzhu Mountain like a storm.

Previously, as Lu Changsheng had requested time to prepare, the news was only known to a select few senior members of the Lu Family and had not been widely disseminated.

Now, with the announcement within the Lu Family, it instantly caused a flurry of joy and excitement.

”A Second Grade Talisman Master, Elder Ninth has actually been promoted to a Second Grade Talisman Master!”

”Although I’ve always heard about Uncle Changsheng’s extraordinary talent in the Talisman Path, I didn’t expect him to be promoted to a Second Grade Talisman Master so soon!”

”Reaching the status of a Second Grade Talisman Master at such a young age, he truly has boundless prospects in the art of talismans.”

”Our young lady is also a top-level First Grade Talisman Master, perhaps she will also be promoted to a Second Grade Talisman Master in the future!”

”Now our Lu Family has a Second Grade Talisman Master as its pillar.”

”Alas, I used to think that with Lu Changsheng having a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root and his constant indulgence in pleasures of the flesh, even with his unusual talent for the Talisman Path, he wouldn’t get very far, but now he’s become a Second Grade Talisman Master.”

”Ever since I broke through to the Energy Refinement Late Stage, I’ve somewhat neglected my cultivation, lost in drink and pleasure. Compared to Lu Changsheng, what right do I have to fall into depravity? From today onwards, I swear off alcohol and will enter seclusion!”
”A Second Grade Talisman Master, why didn’t I choose Lu Changsheng during the welcome feast back then…”

”Had I known this would happen, even if it meant becoming a concubine to Lu Changsheng, I would have been willing.”

Inside Qingzhu Mountain, people who learned of this news felt either joy or emotion.

Overall, there was an atmosphere of happiness.

After all, for the Lu Family, this was great news.

The overall situation of the Lu Family was flourishing.

They had not only annihilated their sworn enemy, the Chen Family of Red Leaf Valley, but also gained control of forty percent of the Red Leaf Valley Market.

With Lu Yuanzhong in the prime of his life at the helm, the family was worry-free for a century.

Now with Lu Changsheng as a Second Grade Talisman Master, it was natural for everyone to be overjoyed.

”Congratulations to my husband on being promoted to a Second Grade Talisman Master!”

”Congratulations, Father, on being promoted to a Second Grade Talisman Master!”

”Congratulations, Daddy, on being promoted to a Second Grade Talisman Master!”

At Lu Changsheng’s home, all of his wives, concubines, maids, and children also came forward to offer their congratulations.

Since the news had not been revealed earlier, Lu Changsheng had asked Lu Miaoyun to not mention it at home for the time being.

Now that the news was announced, it naturally brought surprise and joy to his wives and children.

After all, they all knew that their living standards depended on Lu Changsheng.

The higher Lu Changsheng’s standing and identity became, the more they could rise with the tide.

…

Meanwhile, invitations were being sent out from Qingzhu Mountain to the Bai Family of Hundred Birds Lake, the Zheng Family of Wugong Ridge, and the Yu Family of Bi Lake Mountain. 𝙧𝘈ΝǑ𝐁Ɛȿ

As well as to Foundation Establishment families that had interactions with the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain, neighboring small Energy Refining families, and business associates.

Lu Changsheng also sent an invitation to his good friend Hong Yi.

It wasn’t for the purpose of gifts.

Such a celebration wasn’t about profiting.

It was mainly for the sake of reputation.

After all, the highest level of cultivators attending such a celebration would be at Foundation Establishment, with most being Energy Refining Cultivators, unable to present any precious gifts.

The entire celebration was likely to run at a loss.

Unless it was a Core Formation ceremony, then the major Foundation Establishment powers might be willing to present substantial gifts.

Thus, inviting Hong Yi was purely because of friendship.

It was an opportunity for Hong Yi to expand his network through this celebration.

…

At the Yu Family of Bi Lake Mountain.

”A Second Grade Talisman Master celebration.”

”I didn’t expect this Lu Changsheng to have been promoted to a Second Grade Talisman Master so soon.”

The Patriarch of the Yu Family looked at the invitation in his hand, his expression becoming pensive.

As one of the several large families neighboring Qingzhu Mountain, they were naturally well aware of the situations of the families around them.

Lu Changsheng had long been on the watchlist of these families.

Otherwise, the Yu Family wouldn’t have tried to recruit Lu Changsheng by sending Yu Ningyuan to dig at him and ordering an attack on him and Lu Miaoge.

But he never expected that Lu Changsheng would be promoted to a Second Grade Talisman Master so quickly.

After all, talent is just talent.

Who knows how many so-called geniuses were unable to take the next step after reaching the pinnacle of the First Rank.

”However, this Lu Changsheng only has a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root.”

”Even with his extraordinary talent in the Talisman Path and ascending to Second Grade, cultivation level is the foundation. Without the strength of cultivation level, he will find it difficult to make progress in the Talisman Path now.”

”What’s more intriguing is the mysterious Foundation Establishment female cultivator backing Lu Changsheng. She has never shown herself for many years now. I wonder if they are still in contact.”

The Patriarch of the Yu Family murmured to himself.

A Second Grade Talisman Master was certainly worthy of attention.

But a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator was even more fearsome.

The reason their Yu Family had not pressed aggressively against the Lu Family in the Red Leaf Valley Market over the years, instead opting for a soft approach, was also because of Meng Xiaochan’s influence.

Unsure about the status of this mysterious Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, he felt apprehensive.

”Huff!”

He exhaled lightly and put away the invitation, deciding to report this news to the family elder.

…

At the Bai Family of Hundred Birds Lake.

”A Second Grade Talisman Master.”

”I remember this Lu Changsheng being quite infatuated with pleasures of the flesh and fathering children.”

”Currently, he has around twenty to thirty wives and concubines, with over a hundred offspring.”

The Bai Family Head thought of the information he knew about Lu Changsheng.

”If a daughter of my Bai Family were to marry Lu Changsheng and bear him children, perhaps we could form a connection with this Talisman Master.”

”But Lu Changsheng is a son-in-law of the Lu Family, so if we wish to offer a bride, it might be a bit tricky.”

He tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, his face showing contemplation.

”Status is but a cloud.”

”Lu Changsheng is a man who deeply values loyalty and cherishes his offspring, allocating most resources to nurture them.”

”As long as a daughter of my Bai Family can bear him several talented children, what worries would there be for my Bai Family’s future?”

The Bai Family Head pondered, thinking of his family elder’s current situation, and promptly made a decision.

He then ordered the butler waiting outside, “Ask Feifei to come see me.”

Similar thoughts were shared by the Zheng Family and several other small families or powers in the vicinity.
