Chapter 90: Old Lu, do you want a wife?

“Fellow Daoist Lu, I wonder if your spirit rune shop has sold out of its high-grade talismans?”

Just as Lu Changsheng reached his doorstep, the house on the left opened.

A middle-aged man in his forties with thick eyebrows, a square face, and a calm demeanor walked out. Seeing Lu Changsheng, he asked.

“Fellow Daoist Xia, the three high-grade talismans in my shop for this month have already been sold.”

“Are you going to hunt some demon beasts again? Why are you buying high-grade talismans?”

Lu Changsheng asked with some surprise.

This middle-aged man was named Xia Long and was a new neighbor who had moved in a few months ago.

Like the previous neighbor who moved away, he said he usually hunted demon beasts to earn money.

As for whether it was true or not, Lu Changsheng didn’t know.

This neighbor was often away from home. He only knew that Lu Changsheng was a talisman maker and the owner of the Lu Family Spirit Rune Shop, so he would usually buy talismans from Lu Changsheng.

“I’ve made an appointment with a few fellow Daoists to explore a predecessor’s cave, so I want to buy a few talismans for self-defense,” Xia Long said.

“My shop only has three high-grade talismans each month, and they are all reserved.”

“Fellow Daoist Xia, if you want one, I can reserve one for you when I restock.”

“If you need it urgently, I have a few top-grade talismans on me. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xia can use them?”

Lu Changsheng said.

Although he had high-grade talismans he had drawn himself, it was not good to sell them yet.

After all, the shop only sold three a month.

Even one more could attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives.

However, top-grade talismans were fine.

He had many of them and didn’t mind selling a few more.

“I wonder what top-grade talismans Fellow Daoist Lu has?” Xia Long asked.

Lu Changsheng mentioned several of the best top-grade talismans.

Then, Xia Long bought a Lightning Attraction Talisman and a Invisibility Talisman.

These two talismans were sold for fifty spirit stones each. Lu Changsheng gave a slight discount and charged Xia Long ninety spirit stones.

The other party was also very straightforward and did not haggle.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu,” Xia Long said, putting away the talismans with a slight bow.

“Fellow Daoist Xia, you’re too kind.”

Receiving ninety spirit stones, Lu Changsheng was also very happy.

After all, this money was a private income.

And the cost of drawing these two talismans was only four or five spirit stones.

A full twenty times the profit was a complete windfall!

Immediately, Xia Long bid farewell and left.

“Going to a dungeon? I’ve never experienced such a thing before.”

“But there’s no need to experience this kind of thing. Although the rewards are high, the risks are also great. A moment of carelessness might cost you your life.”

Lu Changsheng glanced at Xia Long’s departing figure, shook his head slightly, and walked into his house.

Although he was a little curious about exploring ancient caves and secret realms, he had no intention of trying it out.

With the system by his side, he didn’t need to work hard like Xia Long, constantly fighting and struggling.

As long as he was honest, avoided competition and conflict, and steadily married wives and concubines to have children, the Great Dao was within reach.

If he worked too hard and tried too hard, he would fall into the lower ranks.

Half a month later.

The child in Xiaoqing’s womb was born.

This child also did not have spiritual roots.

This made Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh.

Previously, the first children born to Qu Zhenzhen and Lu Miaoyun both had spiritual roots.

This made him have high expectations for the children born to these wives and concubines with spiritual roots.

But now.

The children born to three wives and concubines with spiritual roots in a row did not have spiritual roots.

This inevitably made him feel a little disappointed.

“Sigh, it’s okay, take it slow, there will always be one.”

“After all, this kind of thing only has a one or two in ten chance.”

Lu Changsheng let out a long breath and comforted himself in his heart.

And with the birth of two new babies, Lu Changsheng also thought of a problem.

The problem of raising children.

In Nine Dragons Bazaar, there was naturally no problem raising children.

But when there were too many children, it would be a bit inconvenient.

One was that this courtyard was small and could not accommodate them.

When the children got older, there was no place for them to move around and play.

When the children were a few years older, there was also the problem of education to consider.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changsheng decided that when the Second Elder returned to Green Bamboo Mountain, he would send the children back to Green Bamboo Mountain to be raised.

In Green Bamboo Mountain, not only was the environment good and the place big, but the children also had companions.

A large group of brothers and sisters could grow up together and improve their relationship.

Moreover, in Nine Dragons Bazaar, children had to pay a residence fee after they turned six, which was simply outrageous.

“Could it be that cultivators don’t like having children because the pressure is too great?”

“After all, for cultivators, the ages of twenty to fifty are considered prime years, the age of courageous and diligent advancement.”

“If they have children at this age, they will have an extra burden.”

“Not only do they have to raise and nurture their children, but they also have to consider their children in everything they do in the future.”

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought.

He felt that if he didn’t have Green Bamboo Mountain as a large rear base.

Raising so many wives, concubines, and children in a cultivation bazaar would also be a considerable burden.

He would probably have to go to the secular world to settle down and establish a career.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng had a little more understanding of the ’land’ in wealth, companionship, law, and land.

He understood that in order to start a family and establish his own cultivation family, he must have his own land.

Whether it was having several houses in a cultivation bazaar like Nine Dragons Bazaar.

Or having a blessed land of spiritual veins like Green Bamboo Mountain like the Lu family.

In the blink of an eye, another month or so passed.

Lu Changsheng’s life remained the same.

He cultivated, made talismans, went to and from work every day, and occasionally went shopping with his wives and maids.

After all, these maids were pregnant, and it was good for their physical and mental health to go shopping.

And in this month or so, Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen also became pregnant with their second and third children.

This kind of thing was also under Lu Changsheng’s control.

Now it had been half a year since the two women gave birth, and their bodies had already recovered.

The only bad thing was that this kind of childbirth basically made the two women make no progress in their cultivation.

Lu Changsheng could only compensate for this in the future.

This day.

Lu Changsheng took a group of wives and maids out shopping.

“Husband, I want to eat this.”

“Husband, I think this dress is very suitable for Xiaoyun.”

“Sister Zhenzhen, does this dress look good on me?”

Several wives chatted happily.

Time is the best medicine to heal everything.

Now, the numbness and death in Shao Yuyao’s eyes had completely disappeared, and she was much more cheerful.

Xiao Yue Ru had also improved a lot under the life of these few months.

Looking at her slightly bulging belly, she would also touch it from time to time, with a bit of maternal smile on her face.

“Okay, okay, buy, buy, buy.”

Lu Changsheng responded readily to the requests of his wives and maids.

As long as he didn’t spend money lavishly to buy magic weapons, valuable items, or buy maids, he could save a lot of spirit stones every month.

Xiao Yue Ru, who was on the side, looked at Lu Changsheng’s gentle smile, and her beautiful eyes also revealed a bit of inexplicable brilliance.

In this world, the status of maids and concubines was very low.

The future fate of maids like them who had fallen into the Jade Tower was mostly to be used as cauldrons, fertility tools, and venting objects, etc.

But Lu Changsheng treated them, not to mention treating them the same as his wives, but he was also very good to them.

Even better than the treatment she had in her family back then.

She didn’t have to work hard for life, had spirit rice and spirit food for every meal, and also had desserts and spirit meals.

Usually, someone would care and take care of them.

Although sometimes it was just a simple concern, it also made her feel very moved.

After shopping, Lu Changsheng went home with the women.

When entering the door, he happened to meet Yu Maocheng who was also returning home.

He was with his wife, Yu Ningrong, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with a delicate and lovely face.

Yu Maocheng saw Lu Changsheng being intimately held by the arms by Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen.

There were also four maids following him. He really didn’t know what to say.

He really couldn’t figure out why people could live like Lu Changsheng.

Obviously, everyone was the son-in-law of a cultivation family.

Why was the gap so big?

Lu Changsheng was a talisman maker, but he was also a spirit chef.

He, Yu Maocheng, was really jealous!

But he still smiled and nodded hello to Lu Changsheng.

“Husband, what do you think about marrying Qianqian to Lu Changsheng?”

Just as he entered the house, Yu Maocheng heard a voice.

It was the voice of his wife, Yu Ningrong.

“Madam, you want to marry Qianqian to Lu Changsheng?”

Yu Maocheng was slightly stunned and replied through voice transmission.

Yun Qianqian was the daughter of his wife’s friend.

Not long ago, because the couple both encountered accidents, leaving only this daughter, they entrusted her to his wife to take care of.

It was only today that Yun Qianqian was brought to Nine Dragons Market, preparing to arrange for her to help out in the shop.

Unexpectedly, his wife actually wants to marry Yun Qianqian to Lu Changsheng at this time.

Thinking of Lu Changsheng embracing women left and right, with so many wives, concubines, and maids, and his wife still wanting to marry Yun Qianqian to him, he gritted his back teeth until they were about to break.

“Damn it, you deserve to die!”

Yu Maocheng couldn’t help but feel envious in his heart.

“That’s right, Qianqian has a gentle nature and finds it difficult to be independent. Helping out in our shop is not a long-term solution after all. Sooner or later, she will have to find a family to marry into.”

“Although Lu Changsheng has many wives and concubines, I usually interact and chat with his wives and concubines, and I feel that this person treats his wives and concubines very well. Even being a concubine, it can be considered a good family.”

The newest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

Yu Ningrong said so.

“Indeed, it’s possible. I’ve known Lu Changsheng for so long, and I feel that apart from being a little too fond of women and having children, he’s very good in other aspects.”

“Not only is he a mid-grade talisman master, but his appearance, character, and disposition are all top-notch. If Qianqian is married to him, it can be considered a good home for her.”

“Moreover, with us around, and everyone knowing each other, presumably Lu Changsheng will not mistreat Qianqian.”

Yu Maocheng pondered slightly and said so.

He envied Lu Changsheng, but having been in contact with him for so long, he also felt that Lu Changsheng was a very good person and quite reliable.

Yu Ningrong nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Then, looking at the girl beside her, she said, “Qianqian, what do you think of that Talisman Master Lu just now?”

“Talisman Master Lu, is that the one across the street?”

“He looks handsome and talented, but he seems a bit of a playboy.”

Yun Qianqian pursed her lips and said.

“This Talisman Master Lu is indeed a philanderer.”

“In addition to these few wives, concubines, and maids, there are also several wives and a dozen maids in his home.”

Yu Ningrong said directly.

“However, I have interacted with him a few times, and I have also chatted with his wives a few times. I know that although this Talisman Master Lu is promiscuous, he treats his wives and concubines very well.”

“Your mother entrusted you to my care. You will eventually have to find a good family on your own. If you want, Aunt Rong can talk to him and marry you to this Talisman Master Lu.”

Yu Ningrong continued to speak, saying so.

These words made Yun Qianqian slightly stunned.

Thinking of Lu Changsheng’s handsome and elegant appearance, and being a talisman master, her beautiful eyes suddenly drooped, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

She said softly, “This matter… is up to Aunt Rong to decide.”

Yu Ningrong couldn’t help but smile when she saw this.

She thought to herself that Talisman Master Lu was really handsome. Just seeing him once had made her niece like this.

She ruffled Yun Qianqian’s hair and said, “Okay, then it’s settled. Aunt Rong will go ask him for you later.”

The next day.

Lu Changsheng was at work in the talisman shop when he heard Zhang Shan report that Yu Maocheng was looking for him.

He went downstairs, feeling a little puzzled.

“Brother Lu, do you want a wife?”

Yu Maocheng said directly when he saw Lu Changsheng.

“Huh?”

Lu Changsheng was stunned when he heard this.

What the hell?

He already has so many wives, how could someone still ask him if he wants a wife?

Do you think I look like someone who lacks a wife?

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s surprised expression, Yu Maocheng told Lu Changsheng about Yun Qianqian.

“Hehe, okay, then send her over.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile when he heard Yu Maocheng’s words.

He naturally wouldn’t take a wife or concubine as simply as he did in the beginning.

He also had several major requirements in his heart.

First of all, she must have spiritual roots.

Then, her cultivation level shouldn’t be too high.

Her character shouldn’t be bad.

She shouldn’t have a deep family background.

She shouldn’t have any karmic entanglements.

As for things like appearance, figure, being well-behaved and sensible, and being lonely, those were bonus points.

This Yun Qianqian introduced by Yu Maocheng perfectly matched his requirements.

She possessed eighth-grade spiritual roots, had a second-level Qi Refining cultivation, and was well-behaved and sensible in character.

Not only did she not have a family background, but she was also orphaned, leaving her alone.

The only person close to her was Yu Maocheng’s wife, Yu Ningrong.

And Lu Changsheng had also met this Yun Qianqian yesterday.

Although he didn’t carefully examine her, he could tell that she had a good appearance and was of above-average quality.

For Lu Changsheng, such a woman could naturally be taken as a concubine.

“You agreed so readily?”

Yu Maocheng was stunned when he saw that Lu Changsheng had agreed as soon as he finished speaking.

“Otherwise?”

Lu Changsheng replied.

“Aren’t you going to report to your wife and say something?”

Yu Maocheng expressed his incomprehension.

“Yun’er is very good. She will definitely understand and support me in this kind of matter.”

Lu Changsheng said so.

“Damn it, you deserve to die! This is even more uncomfortable than killing me!”

Yu Maocheng got up and left directly upon hearing this.

Then, he said that he would bring Yun Qianqian to Lu Changsheng’s house later to settle the matter.

“It seems that making a few friends still has its benefits.”

Lu Changsheng thought in his heart after Yu Maocheng left.

Night fell.

Lu Changsheng came home from work.

Before Lu Changsheng could mention Yun Qianqian’s matter, Lu Miaoyun took the initiative to bring it up with him.

Not only had Yu Maocheng spoken to Lu Changsheng about this matter, but Yu Ningrong had also spoken to Lu Miaoyun about it today.

And Lu Miaoyun had long since come to terms with this aspect of Lu Changsheng.

Knowing that her husband had always wanted to take in more wives and concubines and have many children, she naturally directly agreed when a good concubine was offered.

“Good Yun’er, marrying you is truly the greatest blessing for your husband!”

Lu Changsheng said.

Just as they were about to start dinner, Baihe came to inform them that Yu Maocheng and his wife had come to visit.

Lu Changsheng immediately knew that it should be because of Yun Qianqian’s matter.

He immediately got up to greet them.

“Brother Yu, Sister-in-law.”

Lu Changsheng said, cupping his hands when he saw Yu Maocheng and Yu Ningrong.

A girl followed behind them.

It was Yun Qianqian.

Looking at Yun Qianqian’s appearance, she had also specially dressed up.

Her dark hair was tied into a drooping bun, and a turquoise butterfly hairpin was inserted diagonally into the bun, with long, beaded tassels hanging down.

She wore a lake-blue tube top ruqun, and her figure wasn’t particularly good, but it was initially taking shape.

Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and lively, and at this time, they carried a hint of shyness.

Her oval face was sweet and pleasing to the eye, making her endlessly captivating and delightful.

“Brother Yu, Sister Rong, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come and have something to eat together.”

Lu Miaoyun also came out together and said to Yu Maocheng and Yu Ningrong.

Then, looking at the somewhat timid Yun Qianqian, she said in a dignified and graceful manner, “This is Qianqian, right?”

“Sister Lu.”

Yun Qianqian called out.

Although she called Yu Maocheng and Yu Ningrong Uncle and Aunt, she obviously couldn’t call Lu Auntie at this time.

After all, yesterday, Yu Ningrong had told her clearly about Lu Changsheng’s affairs and family situation, confirming it again.

So, now that she was here, the matter could be considered settled.

“Let’s go, come in and have something to eat together.”

Lu Miaoyun enthusiastically pulled Yun Qianqian up and invited Yu Maocheng and Yu Ningrong into the house.

Yu Maocheng had a magical feeling when he saw the scene before him.

When the three of them arrived at the dining hall and saw Lu Changsheng’s large hall filled with warbling swallows, they couldn’t help but look at each other.

They knew that Lu Changsheng had many wives, concubines, and maids.

But seeing a large table with more than a dozen women surrounding it, and a bunch of them with pregnant bellies, the scene was simply too beautiful and too shocking.

However, seeing that all the women had happy and cheerful faces, and that the food was all spiritual rice, spiritual vegetables, and monster meat, and that they were drinking spiritual tea, they were even more relieved.

Immediately, Yu Maocheng and Yu Ningrong sat down with Yun Qianqian and ate a few simple bites, and the matter of taking a concubine was considered settled.

There weren’t too many complicated procedures.

They were just preparing to set up two tables at Jade Cuisine Pavilion in two days to invite a few neighbors and friends, and the matter would be considered complete.

This matter was also basically agreed upon by Lu Miaoyun throughout the entire process.

It could also be considered Lu Changsheng’s first time taking a concubine at the initiative of his wife, Lu Miaoyun.

Three days later, Yun Qianqian officially entered the house.

Accompanied by a soft groan from the girl, she officially became Lu Changsheng’s concubine.

In this year, Lu Changsheng was twenty-four years old.

Five wives, nine concubines, two beloved concubines, and fifteen maids.
