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

Chapter 410: The Demon Path Engulfment, Family Rules! (4)

“Although influenced by my Taiyi Dao Seed, and thus sharing more similarities, the cultivation technique essentially remains unchanged, except for the difference in the strength of the Dao Foundation’s effects,”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly upon hearing this, gaining a general understanding of Lu Miaoge’s situation.

…

Lu Family Mansion.

“Tiao’er, you’ve done well. Married into the Lu Family for half a year and now carrying an heir,”

“This Superior Grade Magic Robe and three Supreme Talismans are your father-in-law’s rewards.”

That day, Lu Changsheng learned of some news.

His son, Lu Xianzhi’s wife, Xu Tiao’er, was pregnant.

As the first daughter-in-law of his own who possessed a Spiritual Root, he naturally wouldn’t be stingy now that she was carrying a child.

He generously awarded her.
“This…”

Xu Tiao’er was completely taken aback by such a generous reward.

She came from a minor Qi Refinement family.

Although she was the legitimate daughter with decent conditions,

she would only receive ten Spirit Stones a month.

Now, just for being pregnant, her father-in-law bestowed upon her a Superior Grade Magic Robe and three Supreme Talismans, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

A Superior Grade Magic Robe was worth six or seven hundred Spirit Stones.

Plus, the three Supreme Talismans meant that this single gesture was valued at a thousand Spirit Stones.

Such a generous act truly astounded her.

“Tiao’er, this is your father-in-law’s intention, you can accept it with peace of mind,”

Lu Miaoyun, seeing this, stepped forward and said to Xu Tiao’er.

“Thank you for my father-in-law’s gracious gift!”

Xu Tiao’er then bent forward to express her gratitude.

She had initially been sent by her father to serve Lu Changsheng as a maid.

But, in the end, she married Lu Xianzhi and became his wife.

Originally, she thought that with over a hundred children, and her husband just being a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, he wouldn’t be particularly favored or valued by Lu Changsheng. ȓãΝȰ𐌱Êṥ

However, after marrying into the Lu Family, she discovered that her father-in-law treated his children exceedingly well, beyond reproach.

As his daughter-in-law, she now felt fortunate to benefit from this for the first time.

“Xianzhi, now that Tiao’er is pregnant, you should take good care of her on a daily basis,”

“You don’t need to be so busy with affairs,”

Lu Changsheng spoke out.

He understood his son’s character very well.

Although his Spiritual Root Talent was lacking, he was very serious about his work.

When he asked him to learn Puppetry, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to mastering the Puppetry Technique.

When he asked him to consider starting a family, he followed the family’s arrangements.

These days, as he had been tasked with overseeing family affairs and understanding Bi Lake Mountain’s business, most of his time was consumed by these duties.

“Yes, Father, I understand,”

Lu Xianzhi bowed immediately in response.

“Good,”

Lu Changsheng gave a few more instructions to his son and then let him take Xu Tiao’er away.

“Yun’er, regarding the family system, you should take the time to draft rules and regulations,”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng looked towards Lu Miaoyun and spoke.

Today, Xu Tiao’er’s pregnancy made him realize that the family system needed refinement.

Back in Qing Zhu Mountain, he was very casual.

He let Lu Miaoyun manage and allocate the Red Leaf Valley cave dwelling, the Lu Family’s hundred mu of Spirit Fields, and his own contribution points.

The cultivation resources and Spirit Stones for the children’s rearing were all approximate, without strict rules.

Such an approach could work for a small household.

But now that they had established a family, as the children grew up and started forming their own families, a set of rules and regulations was naturally necessary.

“Husband, can you take a look at this set of family rules and regulations from Qing Zhu Mountain?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoyun brought out the rules and regulations from Qing Zhu Mountain for Lu Changsheng to review.

“Raise the welfare and benefits for each person slightly,”

“Then, for female cultivators who marry into our Lu Family, they are now part of the Lu Family, and the treatment should be the same for everyone,”

“The same applies to those who marry into the family,”

“Furthermore, encourage childbirth, and as long as a child is born, there will be a reward,”

“If the child is found to have a Spiritual Root, grant an additional reward,”

“And until the child turns twenty, all expenses will be borne by the family,”

After reviewing it, Lu Changsheng thought for a while and made several suggestions.

In his view, having children was essential, a tradition of his own family!

However, he didn’t want to rush marriages.

But he would encourage and compensate for childbirth through rewards.

After all, childbirth could certainly affect a cultivator’s cultivation under certain conditions.

This welfare policy was also intended to make female cultivators willing to marry into his family and have more children.

Having said that, he added, “Regarding the secular side, there should also be a general charter, but change the rewards a bit—given in Spirit Rice, Spiritual Objects, and the like.”

“You can find out what the children want in this regard, and ask Sister Miaoge, Zi Xiao and the others for suggestions.”

Lu Changsheng conveyed such sentiments.

“Alright, I’ll talk to Sister Miaoge, Sister Zi Xiao and the others later, and then ask the children what they would like,” Lu Miaoyun replied upon hearing this.

She thought to herself how her husband had indeed not changed his fondness for children in any way, no matter what.

Now that she was having fewer children, he was beginning to encourage the children to have more.

“By the way, Yun’er, after the establishment of the clan ceremony…”

Lu Changsheng spoke up, expressing his plan to hold a wedding ceremony for Qu Zhenzhen and others after the clan establishment ceremony.

This was a promise he had once made to Qu Zhenzhen, Lu Lanshu, and others.

And he announced that he would elevate all the maids in the house to the status of concubines.

Then, as for concubines, they would be classified into nine grades.

Each grade would receive different treatment.

For now, the gradation would start from the Ninth Grade.

In the future, promotions would be based on family contributions, children’s accomplishments, and the honor brought by a son.

He also wanted Lu Miaoyun not to do everything by herself.

She could assign some duties to the junior concubines and maids in the house.

Such as providing enlightenment education for the children, or cultivating Spirit Plants, growing Spiritual Medicine, rearing Spirit Fish, and so on.

“Alright,” Lu Miaoyun immediately nodded in agreement when she heard this.

She knew that the current maids in the house had almost all given birth to five or six children for Lu Changsheng.

Among these children, many possessed the Spiritual Root.

Now that they were establishing their own family, Lu Changsheng was willing to give the children’s mothers a status.

Otherwise, constantly being referred to as maids would always sound somewhat unseemly.

“Oh, and Yun’er, keep these cultivation techniques,” Lu Changsheng said as he handed the “Purple True Solar Scripture,” “Green Wood Sunfire Technique,” “Sun Daylight Sword Scripture,” “Lunar Solar Sword Scripture,” “Venus Solar Sword Technique,” “Jupiter Wood Sword Scripture,” “Saturn Solar Sword Technique,” “Mars Solar Sword Technique,” “Earth Solar Sword Technique,” nine Exquisite Level Cultivation Methods, and five High Grade Cultivation Techniques to Lu Miaoyun to manage and assign to the children.

Aside from Lu Ping’an, the other children in the family were still practicing the Returning Origin Technique.

Previously, he thought it was inconvenient to teach them but now that the family was established, Lu Changsheng naturally wouldn’t keep hiding these techniques.

As for the Peripheral Sect Level and Orthodox Level cultivation techniques, which greatly depended on one’s insight, he would transmit them personally as he saw fit.

“So many cultivation techniques…”

Lu Miaoyun was shocked to see these techniques.

It was common knowledge that in the Cultivation World, the transmission of cultivation techniques was extremely rare and ordinary people rarely had a chance to obtain any such methods.

Otherwise, Qingzhu Mountain wouldn’t have just a few high-level techniques.

“Hehe, in the past, your husband came across some opportunities; these techniques will be the Lu Family’s treasured cultivation methods in the future. Yun’er, you must keep them well guarded,” he told her.

“If a child shows talent and insight, they can be allowed to practice these few manuals; if their insight is just average, they should practice the basic techniques.”

Lu Changsheng was introducing these techniques to Lu Miaoyun.

He indicated that if the wives and concubines in the family wanted to cultivate, they could also choose from these methods, and if they were unsure about which one to pick, they could consult Ling Zixiao for assistance.

“Hmm, don’t worry, husband, Yun’er will do her best!” Lu Miaoyun nodded vigorously.

After all, Lu Changsheng entrusting so many cultivation methods to her spelled immense trust.

It was known that a single technique often set the limit to a person’s cultivation.

…

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The family banquet hosted by Qingzhu Mountain for Lu Miaoge was about to begin.

Lu Changsheng accompanied Lu Miaoge, with Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen in tow, to attend.

The family banquet was very lively.

Even though it was a family affair, mostly involving one’s own people,

There would still be family forces coming to deliver gifts and congratulations.

Especially since the recent events at Bi Lake Mountain had brought Qingzhu Mountain into full limelight.

Since establishing a family required registration with the Qingyun Sect within a month,

Lu Changsheng, after the banquet, briefed Ling Zixiao and then set off for Qingyun Sect.
