In the hall, Lu Yuanding and Uncle Fu both looked at Lu Changsheng and waited for his decision.“Patriarch, the conditions are of course very good, I am very satisfied and have no objections.” “I just have two questions. Are the children currently under my care to be considered mine or the Lu family’s? And if I continue to live in the Lu family, will I still be able to take wives and concubines?” Lu Changsheng spoke up and said this. He wasn’t stupid, how could he believe that Lu Yuanding had made this up on the spot and that there were no flaws to be pointed out? Even though he had become a mid-level talisman master, he was still far from being able to negotiate with the Lu family on equal terms. If he were to talk about leaving now, it would certainly affect the Lu Family’s perception, opinion, and arrangements for him. Although he did have thoughts of leaving as soon as he got through the initial period of living under someone else’s roof. But for now, he still needed to grow under the Lu Family’s protection and stay for quite some time. So it wasn’t wise to negotiate terms at this time. Close enough conditions would be enough. Even if they were a bit strict. Besides, Lu Family’s contract wasn’t overly strict. It was within the range that Lu Changsheng could accept. After all, the Lu family had taken care of him and helped him get through the initial stage safely. It was normal for him to pay a price. Lu Changsheng had confidence in himself. He believed that as long as he survived the Lu Family’s initial stage, it wouldn’t be a big problem to repay the Lu Family three times the resources with the help of the system and his second-level talisman mastery. Not to mention, in the future, if the Lu Family provided him with materials to make symbols, he would be able to earn back quite a bit with his one hundred percent success rate in making talismans. You should know that the profits from magical tools, elixirs and talismans are extremely high and constitute lucrative ventures. “???” Lu Yuanding was taken aback by Lu Changsheng’s words and didn’t know what to say for a moment. He had just seen Lu Changsheng hesitating and thought he was considering the terms of employment or something like that. He hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to ask such a question. Whose children are theirs? Will he be able to take wives and concubines in the future? It was absurd. But considering Lu Changsheng’s humble peasant background, he felt relieved. This was clearly just the mindset of a peasant who only thought about having a wife, children, and a warm bed. It’s just that by a fortunate coincidence, he had spiritual roots, entered the path of immortality, and had an extraordinary talent for making talismans. From Lu Yuanding’s point of view, this was even better, making it easier for him to integrate into the Lu family and serve them. Uncle Fu beside him was also left speechless by Lu Changsheng’s question. He thought that Lu Changsheng really was obsessed with women. After marrying nine women from the Lu family, he was still not satisfied and was still thinking about taking wives and concubines. Fortunately, the servants he had previously arranged for Lu Changsheng were all older women; if they were young and beautiful servants, they would probably have been taken advantage of long ago. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to spare the girls, it was just that he sincerely hoped that Lu Changsheng would concentrate on making talismans and not spend all his time with women. On the other hand, Lu Miaoge remained as indifferent as ever, with an otherworldly temperament, no one knew what she was thinking. “Hehe, rest assured, according to these conditions, you will be the son-in-law of our Qingzhu Lu family in the future, not a burden. Of course, all the children will belong to you.” “As for taking wives and concubines, that’s your freedom, and our Lu family will of course not interfere.” Lu Yuanding smiled. What they valued was Lu Changsheng as a person. The talent and value he showed in their eyes made trivial things like children or ordinary wives insignificant. “Thank you, Patriarch!” “Then I have no further questions.” Lu Changsheng bowed and said. Immediately, Lu Yuanding had Uncle Fu take out the contract that Lu Changsheng had signed and cancelled it. He then re-signed the spirit contract with Lu Changsheng. “From now on, think of the Lu family as your own home,” Lu Yuanding said with a gentle and refined smile. He then lightly patted Lu Changsheng’s shoulder and continued, “In the next few days, I will have someone prepare your identity plate and arrange your residence in Qingzhu Valley. Once everything is arranged, Uncle Fu will notify you.” “For now, you’ll stay here for the next few days. As for your benefits, they will be counted from this month on.” Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback, knowing that the other party was trying to win him over. But he couldn’t deny that this gesture was indeed very comforting. He nodded and bowed, “Yes, thank you, Patriarch.” Then Lu Yuanding left with Uncle Fu and Lu Miaoge. Lu Changsheng saw them off. “Phew!” Seeing the three of them leave, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. From now on, his position in the Lu family had stabilised somewhat, hadn’t it? Soon after, a group of wives and concubines rushed over. They surrounded Lu Changsheng and asked if the patriarch had come this time because he had become a talisman master. Since they found out a few days ago that Lu Changsheng could draw first-class talismans, they were more excited than Lu Changsheng himself. Lu Changsheng didn’t hide anything and told the women the truth. He told them that their family could move to Qingzhu Valley with their children in the near future. When the women heard this news, they were all pleasantly surprised and looked at Lu Changsheng with even more loving and tender eyes. The next day, the news of Lu Changsheng becoming a first-grade talisman master and moving to Qingzhu Valley soon spread throughout Qingzhu Mountain Manor. This news was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing waves of excitement. The young people of Qingzhu Mountain Villa were very jealous and envious of Lu Changsheng. You see, as descendants of the Lu family, they weren’t entitled to live in Qingzhu Valley; they could only live on this side of Qingzhu Mountain Villa. And now Lu Changsheng, an outsider, could live in Qingzhu Valley. This indicated that Lu Changsheng’s status as a son-in-law was higher than theirs. As for the immortal seedlings who came to the Lu family with Lu Changsheng, their envy was even more palpable. There’s a saying: “Fear your brother’s hardship, fear your brother’s good fortune.” Normally, they would not compare themselves with the children of the Lu family. But Lu Changsheng, like them, had been eliminated by the Blue Cloud Sect and was now a son-in-law of the Lu Family. Seeing Lu Changsheng achieve such success naturally made them feel envious, jealous and uncomfortable. They secretly regretted that they didn’t have such talent in this area. No matter what they thought, now that Lu Changsheng had become a first-class Talisman Master, they decided to flatter him. One after another, they came to congratulate him and offer him gifts. After all, having been involved in immortality cultivation for so long, everyone knew the value of a twenty-year-old talisman master. Not only the immortal seedlings, but also many descendants of the Lu family from Qingzhu Mountain Villa swallowed their pride and came to Lu Changsheng’s home to congratulate him, offer gifts, and make acquaintances. “Changsheng, congratulations!” Li Feiyu from next door was the first to come over, bringing his wife to congratulate him. He also brought a box of spirit tea. He had broken through to the Innate Realm half a year ago and was now able to conceive, and his wife was pregnant. “Thank you, you’re too kind to bring anything at all,” Lu Changsheng said with a smile as he approached. He could tell that Li Feiyu was a little disappointed. After all, Li Feiyu had always focused on cultivation, and with his Seven Spirit Roots, his cultivation had always been far ahead of Lu Changsheng’s. Today, Lu Changsheng has become a first-tier talisman master, which is like overtaking on a curve, with a promising future far beyond others. Of course, Li Feiyu was genuinely happy to see Lu Changsheng become a talisman master. He was not the kind of person with a narrow mind who could not stand the success of others. The relationship between Li Feiyu and Lu Changsheng had been very good over the past few years. “It’s nothing, it’s rare to have such a happy occasion. How could I come empty-handed?” Li Feiyu looked at Lu Changsheng without the slightest pretence, and like before, he smiled and said. Then the two of them reminisced and chatted, while people came with gifts to congratulate them. After receiving congratulatory guests all day, Lu Changsheng looked at the many gifts he had received today. There were direct gifts of Spirit Stones, as well as Spirit Tea, Spirit Fruits, and materials for making talismans, totalling about fifty-six Spirit Stones.

When he hosted a banquet for his child in the future, wouldn’t he receive gifts until his hands were sore? But he was just thinking about it. With the Many Children, Many Blessings system, Lu Changsheng’s future path was to be cautious in all things and to build a wide network of contacts. After all, he had a family and a number of children. He had to take care of his reputation. This sort of thing is fine once or twice, but if you do it too often, it will affect your reputation and how others perceive you. It’s not worth it. Over the next few days, Lu Changsheng concentrated on his cultivation as usual, spending time at home with his children and waiting for news from Uncle Fu. As for his wives, they spent those two days happily visiting their sisters and chatting with their close friends. To put it bluntly, they bragged about Lu Changsheng becoming a talisman master. This made the sisters and close friends who had married other Immortal Seedlings envious and jealous. They secretly regretted why they hadn’t married Lu Changsheng back then. Lu Changsheng saw it in their eyes and didn’t say anything. After all, his wives were human beings, not baby-making machines, with their own desires and emotions. It was fine for now, but he could already foresee that in the future, when he had many wives and countless descendants, there would definitely be wives, children and grandchildren who would cause trouble for this ‘old ancestor’ and implicate him. Families have their own advantages, but sometimes they can be a burden. But that’s the way of cultivation, there are gains and losses. Since there’s the “Many children, Many blessings” system, Lu Changsheng was mentally prepared to choose this path.
