Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 756: Chapter 281: Heaven Rank Demon Plant, Abyssal Ghoul Blossom!_2
 

Lu Changsheng spoke out.@@novelbin@@

He chose Lu Yun to be the Family Head not only because of Lu Miaoyun’s role but also due to the limited selection of sons and daughters currently available in the family.

If Lu Yun truly lacked the capacity and was unsuitable, he would replace him all the same, picking someone else from among the children.

After all, in his eyes, there really was no significant distinction between legitimacy and illegitimacy when it came to the position of Family Head; capability was the main criterion.

“Yes, Father!”

Lu Yun took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

He had long been aware of these matters, having been forewarned by his mother, Lu Miaoyun, and was mentally prepared.

“This family clan meeting is now concluded. If you have any other matters, you can come directly to me,” Lu Changsheng announced, looking at his wives and children.

“Yes, Husband, Father!”

Everyone in the hall stood up and respectfully replied.

Immediately after, Lu Changsheng left the hall with a few of his wives.

…

With the family clan meeting over, Bi Lake Mountain was bustling with activity.

During this time, Lu Changsheng also spent time with his wives and children, discussing arrangements for sending out the family youths.

After all, when sending out the children, priority was given to picking marketplaces like Red Leaf Valley Market and Nine Dragons Market, which were close to Bi Lake Mountain.

Besides that, he had Hong Lian craft Identity Tokens for the family.

This allowed all Lu Family Disciples to sense each other’s presence through the Jade Tokens, communicate, call for help, verify identities, and so on when they were outside.

Moreover, during this period, he spent even more time nurturing the Third Rank Treasure Talismans prepared for his children.

“Young Master, how do you like this design?”

That day, ‘Xu Ruyin’ handed Lu Changsheng the crafted Identity Token.

The token was roughly the width of three fingers, made like gleaming gold and jade, with hints of emerald green at the edges.

One side bore a depiction of mountain and sea scenery, while on the other side, there was a ‘Lu’ character, extravagant yet with a touch of simplicity.

This token could sense the presence of others within a hundred miles and enable simple communication over a thousand miles.

If Lu Changsheng wished, he could use the Infinite Pursuit Technique learned from Hong Lian to locate the position of the tokens.

“Not bad. Just make a distinguishing mark on each token for simple identification,” Lu Changsheng said after examining it for a moment, instructing Hong Lian to make a simple mark on the side with the ‘Lu’ character and deciding thus.

Thirteen youths of the family met the qualifications to venture out, but currently, only six had applied to do so, so he wasn’t in a hurry about crafting the tokens.

Given Hong Lian’s pace of crafting one every three to five days, that was more than enough.

Once he had roughly arranged and dealt with family matters, Lu Changsheng remembered that the auction at White Jade Tower was nearly concluded.

He then took a trip outside, heading for the White Jade Tower in Nine Dragons Market.

“Young Master Ye, please come inside.”

“The four maids you put up for auction at our White Jade Tower — except for number sixty-six which failed to sell, numbers sixty-nine, seventy-seven, and ninety-eight were all successfully auctioned. Do you confirm this, Young Master Ye?” the manager of White Jade Tower eagerly said upon seeing Lu Changsheng.

In Nine Dragons Market, anyone who could spend nearly fifty thousand Spirit Stones on maids was undoubtedly a major client, so he was treated with great enthusiasm.

“Number sixty-six failed, hm?”

At this, Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow but didn’t seem overly concerned.

He promptly paid the balance for the remaining three maids.

Since the three maids were to be transported from other locations by White Jade Tower, that would require more than a month. Lu Changsheng made the necessary arrangements and left, indicating that he would come to pick them up when the time came and there was no need for them to be delivered to his home.

…

In the blink of an eye, over a month passed.

“These are the Life-saving Talismans I’ve crafted for you. Dab a drop of blood from your forehead and essence blood on it.”

“If you encounter a life-threatening crisis, you can activate the talisman to escape,” Lu Changsheng said with a stern expression, looking at his children arrayed before him.

“Remember, the matter of this talisman must not be disclosed to anyone else, understand!”

The talisman he referred to was known as a ‘Substitute Talisman,’ ranked as a lower Third Rank item.

Its effect was somewhat similar to his Life-Substituting Talisman. It was connected to one’s essence blood and soul, forming a substitute puppet to take one’s place in danger, and then transporting the user a thousand miles away. However, its effectiveness was far inferior to the Life-Substituting Talisman, withstanding only one blow from Core Formation at most.

And unlike the Life-Substituting Talisman, it could not guard against certain inescapable and deadly tactics.

Nevertheless, it was more than enough for these children who were going to the marketplaces to handle business. Unless they ran into some formidable Robber Cultivators, it was unlikely they would need to use these talismans.

“Yes, Father!”

They were seeing their father’s stern demeanor for the first time.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, they didn’t dare to take it lightly and swore oaths of the Heart Demon.

Later, holding the talismans traced with mysterious toad-script that resembled purple dragon scales in their hands, they each looked overjoyed.

After all, they all knew that their father was a Top-Level Talisman Master with a renowned reputation; such life-saving talismans were certainly extraordinary.

Having seen his children use the ‘Substitute Talismans,’ Lu Changsheng left them after giving a few instructions.

…

The east broke with dawn, and the morning light was faint.

At the top of Bi Yun Peak, the tallest point of Bi Lake Mountain, stood an ancient tree tens of feet high, made entirely of gold and jade, its brilliant luminance flowing.

This was a forbidden area of Bi Lake Mountain, where the Ancestral Lady cultivated, offering an easy view of the entire landscape of Bi Lake Mountain.

At this moment, atop the ancient tree, a man and a woman were engaged in pleasurable yet shameful acts.

Lu Changsheng had Xu Ruyin brace herself against a branch, while he supported her from behind with his strong and supple reach.

“Mm~”

Xu Ruyin, in a red gauzy robe, had her even and beautiful legs raised like jade columns. Forced on her tiptoes, her heels lifted intermittently, turning her tender white jade toes faintly pink.

“Miss Xu, do you like it this way?” Lu Changsheng asked teasingly.
