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

Chapter 938: 196: Business Association Caravan, Lu Family’s Main Pillar!

Lu Changsheng looked at the Peachwood Spirit Womb before him and then at the Ancient Beast Taming Charm in his hand, when he suddenly realized a problem.

This Ancient Beast Taming Charm, he couldn’t use it.

Now, Hong Lian, who was in charge of the charm, needed to merge with the Spirit Womb. What should he do about the Blackwater Jiaolong Dao Troops, Green Jade Luan Bird, Cold Blue Dark Turtle, and Iron-Eating Beast within the charm?

“Hong Lian, what should I do if I want to use this Ancient Beast Taming Charm in the future?”

Lu Changsheng asked the Peachwood Spirit Womb.

Creatures like the Green Jade Luan Bird, Cold Blue Dark Turtle, and Iron-Eating Beast were alright as they could be kept in the charm for a long time.

But the Blackwater Jiaolong Dao Troops needed regular feeding, with Bai Ling casting the Blackwater Dragon Spell, refining them through Black Dragon Power.

“Young master, Lu Chensha practices a Beast Technique that can activate this Ancient Beast Taming Charm.”

“Young master, if you want to release the Dao Soldiers and Spiritual Beasts from the charm, you can let Chensha do it.”

Hong Lian’s light and pleasant voice came from the Spirit Womb.
“Beast Technique?”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He had just learned that one could use this Ancient Beast Taming Charm by cultivating the “Beast Technique.”

If that was the case, by transforming his mana into a “Beast Technique” through the Yin Yang Creation Classic, could he not also use the Ancient Beast Taming Charm?

“It’s worth a try.”

Lu Changsheng pondered in his mind.

The only problem, as a Profound Mystery-Level Technique, the Beast Technique had a significant threshold.

Even with his current talent and vision, comprehending this Technique to fluidly transform mana into the Beast Technique would take considerable time.

“Alright, you rest and nourish the embryo.”

Lu Changsheng said to Hong Lian and walked out of Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.

Planning to have his son, Lu Chensha, come over and try activating the Ancient Beast Taming Charm.

“My husband.”

At this moment, Lu Miaoyun saw Lu Changsheng and informed him that Lu Ruyi and Lu Qingsong had returned.

“Oh? Have them come see me.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately responded.

A short while later, a man of around thirty, with heroic and authoritative features, a tall and upright build, dressed in a green robe, and a woman of twenty-eight or twenty-nine, fairly beautiful with a hint of heroic spirit, entered the hall.

“Pleased to see you, father, aunt.”

Lu Qingsong and Lu Ruyi, looking at Lu Changsheng sitting at the principal seat in his green robe, exceptionally handsome, gave their respects with clasped hands.

Not knowing if it was an illusion, they unconsciously felt that their father seemed even more detached than before.

Even though he was right in front of them, he felt very distant.

“Um, you should know why I asked you to come back, right?”

Lu Changsheng habitually leaned against the back of his chair, playing with the Ancient Beast Taming Charm with his slender jade-like palms.

“Father, are you referring to the matter about the business association?”

Lu Ruyi and Lu Qingsong exchanged glances and respectfully spoke.

Although their father was usually very mild-mannered and never showed any rage,

Being in a high position and living a privileged life, he still possessed an undeniable authority.

Inquiring about important matters in such a calm and gentle tone still made Lu Ruyi and Lu Qingsong a bit nervous.

“Um, the family business has already reached its bottleneck. Now that Ping’an, Qingxuan, Ruyi, and Wangshu have all achieved Foundation Establishment, in my view, we can also establish a business association to expand our family business.”

“This time I called you over to hear your thoughts and if you have a rough draft for the bylaws.”

Lu Changsheng, playing with the Ancient Beast Taming Charm in one hand and lightly tapping on the armrest of his chair with another, said with a smile.

After exchanging glances, Lu Ruyi and Lu Qingsong spoke up, “Father, about the business association, Qing Song and I have a basic understanding from these years.”

“If our family were to establish a business association, the main advantages would be our puppet business, as well as advanced talismans and elixir medicines.”

“But relying solely on puppets, talismans, and elixir medicines to expand the business and support the association might be somewhat difficult, so the main profits still need to be focused on the trade teams...”

Lu Ruyi spoke crisply in this manner.

Although Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family had a prominent reputation in the Qingyun Region,

This reputation didn’t necessarily translate into product sales.

Even though the cost-effectiveness of Lu Family’s puppets was fairly good, competing and surviving in the great marketplaces still posed certain challenges.

Furthermore, when expanding the business, the family’s production lines would also need to expand, requiring more raw materials and manpower.

These things couldn’t be achieved overnight and required a cyclic and gradual process.

Thus, faced with such circumstances, Lu Ruyi and Lu Qingsong thought like most forces.

By forming trade teams, planning trade routes, and engaging in transactions with smaller families along the way, they would establish the reputation and good standing of the family.

In the process, by buying low and selling high or through simple collaborations with some small families, they could earn Spirit Stones.

This was also a common operating model for many business associations in their early stages.

After all, with the vast Cultivation World, many clan cultivators might never travel far in their whole lives.

With no marketplaces nearby, their only option would be to passively accept the high prices set by far-travelling trade teams.

“Trade teams...”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, acknowledging the practice in the Cultivation World.

Ordinarily, traveling to the various giant marketplaces, or the Immortal City, one would see many teams of beasts forming trade groups.

They earned their Spirit Stones by traveling all over, buying low and selling high, or finding bargains.

Once they had sufficient capital, they would purchase stores in the great marketplaces or Immortal City and establish a business association.

“The only problem is, our Blue Lake Mountain has risen too quickly and is envied by many family forces. If we establish a business association and set up trade teams to start trading, there might be significant obstacles...”

At this moment, Lu Qingsong spoke gravely.

Although the name of the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family was quite significant,

Its meteoric rise in just a few decades made many family forces apprehensive.
