Chapter 178: Taking a concubine!

Lu Changsheng looked at the people bringing young women forward, feeling somewhat speechless.

He thought to himself, how did a proper celebration turn into a girl-giving convention?

Is this how all celebrations are, or is it because my reputation precedes me, leading people to cater to my supposed tastes?

But in recent years, I’ve clearly been much more restrained.

He glanced at the young women.

Each of them possessed captivating beauty.

Moreover, they possessed spiritual roots and cultivated power.

This made Lu Changsheng think to himself, this is what status and position are all about.

Back then, he had to worry about marrying a ‘fairy’ with spiritual roots.

He could only save money to rescue miserable women from the White Jade Tower.

Now, having just advanced to a second-tier talisman master, families and factions were sending their descendants with spiritual talent to him as concubines.

“Changsheng, if you’re interested, you can directly accept them without any reservations,”

At this moment, Lu Yuanzhong transmitted his voice to Lu Changsheng.

He naturally knew Lu Changsheng’s temperament.

He knew that Lu Changsheng didn’t have great ambitions in cultivation.

He only wanted many children and grandchildren.

Therefore, he didn’t mind the matter of taking concubines.

Besides, these people were offering women to Lu Changsheng as a way to curry favor with him and their Lu family.

Their Lu family was also willing to use this method to befriend these people and consolidate relationships.

Lu Changsheng paused upon hearing these words.

He felt that since he didn’t need to consider the Lu family’s relationship with these families, then he could accept them.

Firstly, he already had the idea of taking concubines.

He needed to increase income and reduce expenditure to enrich his harem.

Secondly, with the improvement of his cultivation and strength, he no longer needed to be as cautious and concerned about marrying wives and taking concubines as before.

Although these women had families,

they could be considered to have a clear background for him, and their families were respectable, so they wouldn’t cause any trouble.

After all, he couldn’t possibly only look for orphans for all his concubines.

And there weren’t that many widowed female cultivators for him to encounter and bring home.

Although he could go to the White Jade Tower to buy maids,

in the White Jade Tower, low-grade spiritual root maids cost hundreds of spirit stones, and medium-grade spiritual root maids started at thousands of spirit stones.

Even if he had money, he couldn’t afford to spend it like that.

Moreover, since he was preparing to establish a family, he also needed some allies and a network of relationships.

And the method of marriage was the best way to establish a network of relationships.

Even if he didn’t take them now,

in the future, when his descendants got married, the best way to ensure that his descendants stably married spiritual root women from respectable families was to marry with other cultivating families.

“Alas, for the sake of the family, for the sake of the children, this old father can only wrong himself.”

Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart.

Then, he cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for the kindness of the ladies, but Lu already has many wives and concubines at home.”

Although he was prepared to accept a few young women,

he couldn’t just agree as soon as someone spoke, right?

Wouldn’t that make him seem too eager and damage his image?

However, before Lu Changsheng could finish speaking, someone immediately said, “It is a blessing for my daughter to serve Master Lu. Being a maid is enough, how can she ask for a formal title?”

“Hiss, this Luo family head is ruthless, he doesn’t even fight for a concubine title for his daughter.”

The others, seeing the words of the Qi Refining family head, secretly thought that this person was decisive.

Although they also had the idea of not fighting for a formal title,

they thought they should at least give a concubine title, right?

They couldn’t possibly really let their precious descendants be maids, right?

After all, the descendants they chose to bring, although not the seeds of the family, were also good seedlings in the family.

“Since the Luo family head is so understanding, then I will accept your kindness.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, seeing that this person was so sensible.

After speaking, he added, “In the future, we can exchange talisman path insights more often.”

Since people are sending their daughters over to be maids, he had to show some attitude.

“Master Lu, my daughter is the same.”

“Master Lu, my niece is the same.”

The other few people also spoke up one after another.

However, the Zheng family ancestor and the Bai family head were somewhat embarrassed in the face of this situation.

These people were only small Qi Refining families and forces.

Facing Lu Changsheng, a second-tier talisman master, they were willing to put down their status.

But their Zheng family and Bai family were at least somewhat reputable.

If they, a family ancestor and a family head, shamelessly sent their direct daughters to Lu Changsheng as maids, it would be really embarrassing.

“I also fell in love with Miss Yongwan and Miss Feifei at first sight, and I am willing to take them as concubines. I wonder if the two ladies are willing?”

Lu Changsheng also saw the embarrassment of the Zheng family ancestor and the Bai family head and took the initiative to speak.

Taking down Red Leaf Valley without bloodshed was still in his spare plan.

So he was also willing to build a good relationship with the Zheng family and the Bai family.

Moreover, judging from their appearance and cultivation, he felt that Zheng Yongwan and Bai Feifei should both have medium-grade spiritual roots.

So taking the two women as concubines was not bad.

The two women were also slightly relieved upon hearing this.

They were, after all, direct daughters of foundation-building families.

Although they were willing to marry Lu Changsheng, they would still be a little unwilling to be maids like other small families and forces.

“We will leave it to the ancestor to decide.”

“We will leave it to the family head to decide.”

The two women did not directly agree, but lowered their heads and said softly.

“Haha, good.”

“Since that’s the case, then it’s settled.”

The Zheng family ancestor and the Bai family head immediately smiled upon seeing this.

And they indicated that this matter of taking concubines was still a matter of taking concubines, and they would still communicate with Lu Changsheng as peers in the future.

The other few families did not say much upon seeing this scene.

They knew that the Zheng family and the Bai family were foundation-building families and could not be compared to their own.

Although this Master Lu took many wives and concubines, his status and position were now here, and he was not willing to give everyone a formal title.

However, they were satisfied with being able to become maids.

After all, there was still the opportunity to give birth to children in the future.

As long as they gave birth to excellent children, they might be able to rely on their children to become more prominent.

Some other guests, seeing this scene, could not help but think about which suitable descendants they had at home.

Thinking of using this method to befriend the Lu family and this Master Lu.

And so, after this celebration was held for three days and three nights, Lu Changsheng held another concubine-taking banquet.

Taking Zheng Yongwan and Bai Feifei as concubines.

Regarding Lu Changsheng taking two concubines and adding five maids, Lu Changsheng’s wives and concubines in the backyard did not have any opinions.

One was that they were used to their husband’s behavior.

The other was that the Lu family ancestor had spoken.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Ninth Elder take a concubine.”

“I heard that these two people, one is the direct daughter of the Zheng family, and the other is the direct daughter of the Bai family, but now they can only be concubines.”

“Yes, I remember that Bai Feifei didn’t marry out back then, but I didn’t expect that she would now marry Uncle Changsheng as a concubine.”

“That’s natural. Brother Changsheng is now a second-tier talisman master. Being able to marry Brother Changsheng is a blessing!”

“Lu Changsheng already has thirty or forty wives and maids. Now there are seven more.”

The Lu family disciples also discussed and sighed upon seeing Lu Changsheng’s wedding.

That night.

Lu Changsheng came to the bridal chamber.

He skillfully lifted the red veil, looking at the shy faces of the two young women in front of him.

This year, he was thirty-six years old, with seven wives, thirteen concubines, and twenty-nine maids.

And a fairy who gave birth to a child out of wedlock.

Over the next month.

Lu Changsheng had been enjoying the wonderful experience of being a groom every night at home.

Among these two new concubines and five maids, Zheng Yongwan and Bai Feifei both had fifth-grade spiritual roots.

Among the five maids, except for a young woman named Luo Rui who had a sixth-grade spiritual root, the others all had seventh-grade spiritual roots.

But for Lu Changsheng, it was already acceptable.

After all, in these families, medium-grade spiritual roots were already considered small geniuses.

Being willing to send them to him as concubines was already a significant investment.

Because his family had added new members, the already crowded manor seemed a bit cramped.

Lu Yuanzhong was also very generous in choosing a piece of land for Lu Changsheng in Qingzhu Valley, and had people build a large manor for him.

“Should there be one by now?”

After a month of cultivation, Lu Changsheng felt that Zheng Yongwan and Bai Feifei should be pregnant.

He didn’t stay any longer. After handling and arranging the trivial matters at home, he set off for Hongye Valley Square City.

After all, he had been home for so long.

In a few months, Xiao Xiyue would be returning to the Qingyun Sect, and he would have to accompany her.

After riding the Iron Feather Eagle to Hongye Valley Square City, Lu Changsheng first came to his Peace Talisman Hall.

He indicated to Gao He that his spirit talisman shop would sell one second-tier talisman externally each month.

The first-tier top-grade talismans were increased to eight per month.

At the same time, he asked Gao He to help him purchase second-tier talisman-making materials for a long time.

Now that he had the Nine-Nine Profound Talisman Scripture and the method of refining talismans into formations, his demand for second-tier talismans had also greatly increased.

He planned to keep a few hundred second-tier talismans on hand at all times.

This way, when encountering a Core Formation True Person, he would have some self-protection ability by relying on the talisman formation.

After finishing his business with Gao He, Lu Changsheng also inquired about the situation of his son Lu Xianzhi.

He took his son to the third floor and taught and guided him about the knowledge of puppets.

Although the art of puppets was not very profitable, and only earned hard-earned money,

the learning cost was also relatively low.

Because in the process of making puppets, if a certain step went wrong and failed, the materials would only be partially damaged, and most of them could still be used.

Unlike talisman-making and alchemy.

Once it failed, all the materials were basically scrapped, which was simply burning money.

“Xianzhi, don’t just coop yourself up in the shop all day. Go out and about when you have time.”

“If you see a girl you like, you can tell Dad.”

After instructing the puppets, Lu Changsheng said to his son, Lu Xianzhi.

This son was already sixteen years old.

It was time to consider marriage.

Although many cultivators remain unmarried their entire lives for the sake of cultivation,

or only start a family after forty or fifty years of age,

Lu Changsheng still hoped that Lu Xianzhi could settle down early.

“Father, I understand.”

Lu Xianzhi’s personality was a bit mischievous in his childhood.

But as he grew older and became more sensible, his personality became much more calm and introverted.

“It’s good as long as you know what you’re doing. Your father isn’t rushing you, but I hope you’ll still consider this.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

The child was only sixteen years old; he wasn’t in a hurry yet.

“Father, don’t worry. I understand.”

Lu Xianzhi smiled and nodded in response.

He knew that his father’s wish was to have a house full of descendants, so he could understand his father’s thoughts.

And he was just a ninth-grade spiritual root, his achievements in this life were limited, so it was better to start a family early.

After explaining a few things to his son, Lu Changsheng went to the Lu family’s spirit talisman shop.

During the Talisman Master Celebration, Lu Miaoge had also returned to Green Bamboo Mountain to participate in the celebration, so she knew about Lu Changsheng taking a concubine.

To this, she only told Lu Changsheng to pay more attention to his health.

Don’t be too addicted to women, because the affairs of men and women can harm your body and delay your cultivation.

Faced with this statement, Lu Changsheng used action to tell her that his body was very healthy now.

Afterward.

The two of them finished their intimacy.

“Miaoge, this is the talisman Dao inheritance I obtained back then.”

“But because I failed to advance to a second-order talisman master and fully understand the content, I have been unable to outline the content inside.”

“This is the spiritual pattern I can outline now.”

Lu Changsheng took out a jade scroll and handed it to Lu Miaoge.

This jade scroll contained the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture, one of the basic spiritual patterns among the ninety-nine eighty-one spiritual patterns.

But this one basic spiritual pattern could evolve into more than three hundred kinds of runes.

Containing talisman Dao principles that were difficult to comprehend.

If Lu Miaoge could comprehend it, she would also benefit immensely, and her talisman Dao would improve.

Moreover, he wanted to see Lu Miaoge’s comprehension ability, how long it would take to understand and comprehend this spiritual pattern.

If Lu Miaoge could comprehend this spiritual pattern before Foundation Establishment and successfully outline it, Lu Changsheng felt that he could consider teaching the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture to Lu Miaoge.

Although Lu Miaoge cultivated the Chen Xing Water Radiance Sword Technique.

But compared to the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, this Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture was obviously more suitable for her.

“Talisman Dao inheritance?”

Lu Miaoge was a little surprised when she heard this.

She didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to have other talisman Dao inheritances.

Thinking about Lu Changsheng’s understanding of talisman Dao, she felt a little relieved.

“That’s right, my talisman Dao has been able to improve so quickly, also related to this talisman Dao inheritance.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said softly.

Lu Miaoge took the jade scroll and checked the spiritual pattern on it.

Looking at the spiritual pattern on the jade scroll, Lu Miaoge was stunned and lost in thought, immersed in it.

After a long time, she came back to her senses and said, “Changsheng, this spiritual pattern is so mysterious.”

“It seems simple, but it is extremely complex, containing countless changes, making it profound and difficult to understand.”

Lu Miaoge said.

As a top talisman master, she still had some vision and understanding of talisman Dao.

She could clearly see that this spiritual pattern contained many combinations and changes.

She wanted to see these changes, but the more she looked, the more she felt that this spiritual pattern was profound and mysterious, making it impossible for her to see through.

She couldn’t help but be surprised that Lu Changsheng was able to outline such a mysterious and complex spiritual pattern.

“That’s right, this spiritual pattern has a total of three hundred and sixty-five changes, evolving into three hundred and sixty-five kinds of runes.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and began to explain the various changes of this spiritual pattern, the mystery of it.

Listening to Lu Changsheng’s gentle explanation of the talisman Dao principles, Lu Miaoge couldn’t help but be immersed in it.

After Lu Changsheng finished explaining, Lu Miaoge looked at Lu Changsheng’s handsome profile, slightly lost in thought.

Recalling the bits and pieces of her acquaintance with Lu Changsheng until now.

From the initial good impression, to a good person.

To being disappointed in his addiction to women.

Then seeing his talisman Dao progress rapidly, gradually becoming mysterious.

Not only did he save her life when she was in critical condition, but he also took out Three Yang Pills, exquisite-level cultivation techniques, and rare treasures such as Treasure Seeking Rats.

Now he took out this talisman Dao inheritance and taught her such profound talisman Dao principles.

Being able to comprehend and understand this spiritual pattern so thoroughly made her feel that Lu Changsheng was definitely not just a newly promoted second-order talisman master.

“What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?”

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaoge’s beautiful eyes, full of admiration, and couldn’t help but smile.

“I just think you’re getting more and more amazing, Changsheng.”

Lu Miaoge smiled sweetly and said softly.

“Miaoge, I have some opportunities and secrets.”

“But don’t worry, I will tell you these opportunities and secrets in the future.”

Lu Changsheng knew that his explanation of this spiritual pattern made Lu Miaoge feel suspicious.

This was normal.

Even if it was just a basic spiritual pattern in the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture, it was extremely mysterious.

It was not something that a person who had just been promoted to a second-order talisman master could understand thoroughly.

“I know.”

“Changsheng, if you feel uncomfortable keeping some things in your heart, you can tell me.”

Lu Miaoge’s beautiful eyes were moist, her temperament was like water, and she said gently.

She added, “We are husband and wife.”

“Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng felt a warmth in his heart when he heard this.

The strength, treasures, and secrets brought by the system had been hidden in his heart, for fear of exposing them and causing trouble, which was indeed a bit tiring.

But fortunately, he had these concubines, so he had no other worries on weekdays.

Looking at the wife in front of him, he hugged her graceful body and kissed her two lips deeply.

“Hmm~ Changsheng”

Lu Miaoge didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to want her again after the two of them had just finished their intimacy.

“Passing down the Dao and imparting the essence, combining work and rest, maybe it will help to comprehend the spiritual pattern.”

Lu Changsheng whispered in her ear, breathing hot air.

“Hmm~”

Faced with Lu Changsheng’s transmission of the Dao, Lu Miaoge could only narrow her beautiful eyes slightly, gently biting her lips, and immerse herself in listening.

But because the Dao was too deep, she was a little tired from listening, and her body was covered in fragrant sweat.

After a long time, as the transmission of the Dao and imparting of essence ended, she also repaid the favor, experiencing the principles in it.

The next day, Lu Changsheng came to the courtyard rented by Xiao Xiyue.

In the courtyard, Xiao Xiyue was dressed in a moon-white dress, her figure was graceful, and she couldn’t see that she had just given birth to a child.

She looked quietly and peacefully at Lu Wangshu, who was sleeping peacefully in the cradle.

“Changsheng, you’re done with your work.”

Xiao Xiyue saw Lu Changsheng, smiled, and said softly.

“Xiyue.”

Lu Changsheng saw this scene and thought of what he had done during this time, and felt a little ashamed in his heart.

He felt that he was indeed not responsible enough.

He came to sit down beside her, looked at the child, and chatted with Xiao Xiyue.

“Xiyue, do you know about the Blood Talisman Spiritual Body?”

At this time, Lu Changsheng thought of his daughter’s spiritual body and asked.

During this time, he had read some ancient books on spiritual bodies.

But he did not find any information related to the Blood Talisman Spiritual Body.

He knew in his heart that this superior spiritual body was probably relatively rare.

So he asked Xiao Xiyue.

After all, this was related to his spiritual body awakening and his daughter’s future spiritual body awakening.

“Blood Talisman Spiritual Body?”

Xiao Xiyue shook her head gently when she heard this, and had not heard of this spiritual body either.

“I don’t know much about spiritual bodies either.”

“If you need it, Changsheng, I will go back to the Azure Cloud Sect to see if there is any information about this.”

Xiao Xiyue said.

“I saw a simple explanation of this spiritual body in an ancient book before, and I suspect that I might be this spiritual body.”

“So I will trouble you to inquire about relevant information for me.”

Lu Changsheng said so.

He didn’t say that he could see that the child had a spiritual body.

After all, it would be a bit exaggerated to see that the child had a certain spiritual body just after birth.

As for his daughter also having this spiritual body in the future, it would be easy to explain.

Isn’t it normal for the daughter to inherit the excellent spiritual body of her father?

Although the probability of spiritual body inheritance is very small.

But sometimes it’s just so coincidental.

“Blood Talisman Spiritual Body, good.”

Xiao Xiyue heard that Lu Changsheng might be this spiritual body, and the importance in her heart suddenly rose to another level.

She planned to ask her master after returning to the sect if the Sutra Pavilion did not have relevant information.

Afterward, she also expressed to Lu Changsheng that she was preparing to return to the Azure Cloud Sect in another three months.

But if she had time, she would come down the mountain.

If Lu Changsheng had anything, he could write to her.

Lu Changsheng did not persuade her to stay when he heard this.

After all, Xiao Xiyue had already said that she would leave at this time.

As a disciple of the Immortal Sect, apart from tasks and guarding one side, it was impossible to stay outside for a long time.
