Chapter 21: Three-year agreement!

Another month passed in the bland and monotonous life of Cultivating, Talismans, and practicing Spells.

Lu Changsheng’s concubine became pregnant with her second child.

At the same time, his ninth child was also born.

There was still no Spiritual Root fluctuation, indicating no Spiritual Root.

The day after his ninth child was born, Lu Changsheng received a letter.

He was somewhat surprised when he saw the letter.

It was actually sent by Hong Yi, who had participated in the Immortal Sect assessment with him.

The letter first offered simple greetings, then asked if Lu Changsheng still remembered their three-year agreement.

It had been over two years since they parted ways at the Qingyun Sect.

He hoped Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu would also come for a gathering.

He also mentioned that Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin had all agreed to the appointment.

“The three-year agreement.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the contents of the letter.

This three-year agreement was a jest proposed by Hong Yi during casual conversation when the six of them were first brought to the Qingyun Sect.

They agreed that no matter whether they entered the Immortal Sect or not, they would gather at the Ruyi Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Ruyi County, three years later.

If it weren’t for Hong Yi’s letter, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t have remembered this matter at all, having dismissed it as a joke.

He didn’t expect Hong Yi to write to him about it.

And he even said that Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin would all come.

“There’s about half a year left, should I go or not?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

The ambush by the Chen family on the way to Qingzhu Mountain had left him with some lingering fear.

He felt that the Cultivation World was too dangerous and didn’t want to leave Lu easily.

However, seeing that Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin would also attend this gathering, he began to consider going.

As the saying goes, more friends, more paths.

The three of them were Qingyun Sect Disciples; if he could maintain this friendship, it might be helpful to him in the future.

Although he wasn’t very familiar with Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing, he had a good relationship with Han Lin back then.

“On this trip, I can also deal with the Talismans I’ve accumulated over the years and buy some Materials for drawing High Grade and top-grade Talismans.”

“With Talisman treasures on me, as long as I don’t encounter a Great Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

“Moreover, I have been seeking the Dao and Immortality, away from Lu for three years, and it’s time to go back.”

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changsheng decided to make the trip.

Besides the appointment, there were other things he needed to do, and he also needed to settle matters with his secular family.

“Since I received the letter, Feiyu should have received it too.”

Lu Changsheng thought.

He then went out and headed towards Qingzhu Mountain Village to see what Li Feiyu planned to do.

It would be safer if the two of them traveled together.

Lu Changsheng did not go directly to Li Feiyu’s house.

Instead, he first went to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to greet the shopkeeper.

If it weren’t for the Hundred Treasures Pavilion shopkeeper, the matter of his Talismans talent wouldn’t have been known to the Lu family’s higher-ups so smoothly, so he came to visit and thank him.

Besides, he was still somewhat dependent on the Lu family, so it wasn’t a bad thing to befriend more of the Lu family and leave a good impression.

After all, Cultivation isn’t just about Cultivating and fighting; it also involves human relations.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion shopkeeper was also delighted and comforted to see Lu Changsheng come to Qingzhu Mountain Village to visit him.

He had helped Lu Changsheng out of self-interest back then.

He saw that Lu Changsheng, this young man, had good Talismans talent and was a good person, so he could be used by the Lu family.

But Lu Changsheng’s behavior added a few more points of goodwill to his heart.

He felt that this young man was indeed good.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng bought some medicinal Materials for strengthening the body and cultivating vitality at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion as a gift and took them to Li Feiyu’s house.

He now had ten Spirit Stones a month, while Li Feiyu still had two Spirit Stones.

If he directly helped the latter, the other party wouldn’t accept it.

And he couldn’t possibly do that either.

Not to mention he wasn’t wealthy enough to do so, doing so would also change the nature of their relationship and friendship.

Coming over to visit now, bringing some things, was just right.

Carrying the items, Lu Changsheng arrived at Li Feiyu’s house.

“You came, why did you bring things?”

Li Feiyu was somewhat surprised and delighted to see Lu Changsheng arrive.

“It’s not like visiting next door now; isn’t it normal to bring some things when visiting occasionally?”

“Besides, my sister-in-law will be giving birth in two months, and these are all things for nourishing the body.”

Lu Changsheng said casually.

He and Li Feiyu were the same age, but Li Feiyu was a few months older than him, so he also called Li Feiyu’s wife “sister-in-law.”

“Alright, then I won’t be polite.”

Li Feiyu heard this and accepted it directly without being coy.

“You also received Hong Yi’s letter, right?”

Upon arriving in the main hall, Li Feiyu brewed a pot of tea, guessed Lu Changsheng’s intention, and spoke.

“I received it. I saw the letter and thought that since Han Lin and the others would go, I would go for a gathering.”

“Moreover, I’ve been away from Lu for so long, so I need to go back and make a clean break, so I came to ask for your thoughts.”

Lu Changsheng said directly.

“My thoughts are the same as yours.”

Li Feiyu nodded.

“Alright, then let’s go together. We still have half a year, so we’ll set off about a month in advance.”

“After all, the journey from Qingzhu Mountain to Ruyi County is quite long.”

Lu Changsheng said.

“No problem, I usually don’t have much to do. You can just come and call me on the day you set off.”

Li Feiyu said.

Then, the two chatted for a while, and Lu Changsheng had lunch at Li Feiyu’s house before leaving.

Time flew by, and another half a month passed.

On this day, Lu Changsheng’s tenth child was born.

This child was born without a Spiritual Root either.

However, at the moment this child was born, a System notification sounded.

【Congratulations, Host, your number of descendants has reached ten! You have received one lottery chance!】

“Indeed!”

Lu Changsheng was delighted to hear the System notification, thinking to himself, “Indeed.”

He had speculated before that when a certain number of triggered achievements were reached, a reward would be triggered.

The first number was one, and the second number was very likely ten.

“I wonder if the next number will be twenty, fifty, or… one hundred.”

Lu Changsheng mused.

Without thinking too much, Lu Changsheng went to visit the child.

It was a girl, very cute.

After visiting his wife, concubines, and children, Lu Changsheng returned to his study to begin his fourth lottery draw.

“System, I want to draw a lottery.”

Lu Changsheng silently recited.

Immediately, a pale red virtual lottery wheel appeared before his eyes.

Lu Changsheng looked at the familiar lottery wheel, took a deep breath, and prayed in his heart.

He hoped to get a Cultivation Technique.

His current Returning Essence Skill was the most Elementary and common Cultivation Technique in the Cultivation World.

Its advantage was that Cultivating it was very stable, and there were basically no problems during the process.

But its disadvantage was the same: it was too stable, leading to a very slow speed of refining Spiritual Qi.

He hadn’t felt much about it when he was at Qingzhu Mountain Village.

Now that he had come to Qingzhu Valley and was Cultivating on a second-tier Spiritual Vein, this feeling was very obvious.

So Lu Changsheng thought that if he could draw a Cultivation Technique, this situation should improve.

After all, even if the System was terrible, it would at least give him a side-door Cultivation Technique, right?

“Start the lottery!”

Lu Changsheng exhaled and said.

Immediately, golden light spun on the pale red wheel.

After five seconds, the wheel slowed down.

Under Lu Changsheng’s gaze, filled with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, the golden light stopped on ‘Pet Beast’.
