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

Bright and gentle sunlight streamed into the cramped room, the breeze was gentle, and the water rippled.

"So much water..."

Lu Changsheng, observing the bunk bed drenched by an unknown source, either rain or lake water, waved his mana and dried it out.

Afterward, he held his delicate wife in his arms and admired the beautiful scenery outside, feeling refreshed and uplifted.

Through this lake tour, he could sense his wife's joy at the prospect of visiting their children at Jinyang Sect.

"My husband, how do you think Qing Shan is doing with his cultivation at Jinyang Sect? Do you think he might..."

Lu Miaohuan, draped in a thin black gauze garment, her beautiful black hair cascading down her back like satin, gazed out at the lake scenery.

Even though she knew her son had a Nascent Soul Immortal as his master, she remained worried about him being mistreated or bullied during his cultivation journey, given his mischievous and troublemaking character and the fact that she hadn't seen him.

"Rest assured, Qing Shan not only possesses a Gengjin Body Constitution, but he also has a Nascent Soul Immortal as a master. His cultivation in Jinyang Sect naturally goes smoothly," Lu Changsheng reassured her with a warm voice, his arms around her slender waist.

He, too, was eager to know how his children had fared at Jinyang Sect over the years.

"Qing Shan and Qing Zhu would be quite surprised to learn that both their father and sister have broken through to Foundation Establishment," Lu Miaohuan mused with a smile.

Who could have predicted the earth-shaking changes in their family in just a mere ten years?

...

Ten days later.

Zhao Qingqing came to Bi Lake Mountain.

She told Lu Changsheng that the Spiritual Vessel heading from Qingyun Market to the Azure Phoenix Immortal City would leave in four months.

The journey would take approximately three months, and if Lu Changsheng wished, she could purchase the vessel tickets on his behalf.

Given Lu Changsheng's status as the Mountain Master of Bi Lake Mountain, he could certainly buy the vessel tickets himself.

But it would require him to make the trip and book in advance at Qingyun Market.

"Qingqing, thank you for the trouble," Lu Changsheng said as he nodded.

With Xiao Xiyue still out on a mission and not yet back, having Zhao Qingqing buy the Spiritual Vessel tickets would be much more convenient.

He then discussed the matter of the cultivator couple ritual with Zhao Qingqing.

Though it wasn't ideal to draw attention now,

he and Zhao Qingqing had become fellow cultivators, and he naturally wished to give their relationship a proper standing.

Moreover, since he was about to head to Jinyang Sect in Yue Country, which would take at least two to three years for the round trip,

having Zhao Qingqing, a Foundation Building Great Cultivator and disciple of an Immortal Sect, join the family would serve as a deterrent to surrounding clan powers.

"Sure~"

Zhao Qingqing cheerfully agreed.

Being quite traditional, she had been hoping for a formal status that morning.

But facing Lu Changsheng, she felt somewhat inferior,

believing she wasn't worthy of such a man and could only be a concubine, unsure of how to raise the matter.

Now that Lu Changsheng had taken the initiative to propose a cultivator couple ritual with her, she was naturally overjoyed.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng asked his wife Lu Miaoyun to arrange a cultivator couple ritual.

Upon learning that Zhao Qingqing and her husband were to be joined as a cultivator couple, Lu Miaoyun was merely slightly taken aback, but not surprised.

After all, as a wife who had accompanied Lu Changsheng on his path, she had anticipated this day would come once Zhao Qingqing became a Guest Elder in their home.

Considering they were to board the Spiritual Vessel for the Azure Phoenix Immortal City in four months, Lu Changsheng set the date for the ritual three months later,

so it wouldn't be too rushed or simplistic.

After assigning these tasks, Lu Changsheng spent the following days diligently cultivating.

This included Xu Ruyin,

who in the early years was used by Hong Lian for her body's Alchemy purposes, formations, and other matters, so Lu Changsheng had refrained from having her conceive.

Mainly because once she had a child and became a mother, Lu Changsheng felt he would become soft-hearted.

Over the years, Xu Ruyin had performed well, and Lu Changsheng felt it was time.

If she continued to be obedient and well-behaved upon his return, he would give her a Heaven Rank Demon Beast, and that would be it, with her bearing five, six, seven, or eight children.

After all, Xu Ruyin had long reached the peak of Qi Refinement and was ready to undertake Foundation Establishment.

But her cultivation had virtually been stalled for years due to being imprisoned at Bi Lake Mountain.

Although it was relatively difficult for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to have children, with the system's bloodline enhancement, it wasn't too difficult for Lu Changsheng.

In this way, with Lu Changsheng's efforts, in just a short month, three of his concubines were pregnant, including Xu Ruyin.

Seeing Xu Ruyin pregnant, an idea popped into Lu Changsheng's head.

What if during his efforts, Hong Lian possessed Xu Ruyin?

Or, if Hong Lian possessed Xu Ruyin during her pregnancy to help nourish the fetus, would the child be considered Hong Lian's?

In that case, would the child's talent be comparatively better?

However, Lu Changsheng just thought about it and didn't bring it up.

During this time, Lu Changsheng also didn't neglect Bai Ling.

Although it was extremely difficult for her to get pregnant because of bloodline issues,

Lu Changsheng believed in the saying, "Heaven rewards the diligent, man will conquer nature, and where there's a will there's a way!"

...

In the blink of an eye, three months passed, and Lu Changsheng and Zhao Qingqing's couple ceremony was held as scheduled.

During these three months, five of Lu Changsheng's minor wives, including Xu Ruyin, became pregnant.

As for Bai Ling, one could only say that she tried hard, but it was indeed very difficult.

However, Lu Changsheng did not lose a trace of fighting spirit, planning to try again when the time was right, determined to eventually make Bai Ling pregnant.

On this day, Bi Lake Mountain was very lively and festive.

The Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain, the Bai Family of Hundred Birds Lake, the Zheng Family of Wugong Ridge, the Yu Shui Xu Family, the Ji Family of Xiao Jing Mountain, and other family powers all sent people to congratulate and give gifts.

After all, the union of two Foundation Establishment Cultivators was not a minor matter to these neighboring family powers, and it deserved high attention!

Hong Yi and Han Lin also came to attend the celebration. Besides them, some Qingyun Sect disciples, Zhao Qingqing's friends, and fellow sect members were present.

"I heard that Lu Ancestor hadn't taken any concubines for a long time, I did not expect that once he did, it would be such an astonishing event, marrying a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator from the Qingyun Sect!"

"A friend of mine's grandson's niece became a concubine to Lu Ancestor, I heard that Lu Ancestor has also been diligently working these years, having children born every year in his family."

"For Lu Mountain Lord, I really admire him completely, to have three Foundation Establishment partners in his household!"

"And all three are not ordinary, one is a Second Grade Talisman Master, one is a Second Grade Array Master, and one is a disciple of the Immortal Sects!"

"Compared to Lu Mountain Lord's Talisman Path, I admire his inclinations towards men and women even more!"

"Ah, truly, comparing oneself to others will only make you die of envy!"

Many of those who came to attend the ceremony expressed their feelings out loud for Lu Changsheng, their expressions a mix of envy and jealousy.

For them, even after breaking through to Foundation Building and becoming a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, marrying a Foundation Establishment partner was very hard.

Not to mention someone like Lu Changsheng, who had three high-quality Foundation Establishment partners.

After all, upon becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, one is an ancestor of a region, who would willingly share?

"Lu Brother is indeed worthy..."

Hong Yi and Han Lin were seated at the same table and were full of emotions upon witnessing this scene.

Even though Hong Yi had previously made some guesses, seeing this scene, the two holding the ceremony and becoming partners, they were still filled with emotions.

They thought that if this was the situation with Zhao Qingqing's couple ceremony, what if Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue from the Qingyun Sect, the famous Xi Yue Fairy, were to become partners? Would it not cause a small sensation throughout the entire Qingyun Region?

"However, for Brother Lu to become partners with Xiao Daoist, I'm afraid he has to pass the hurdle of her master, Caiyun True Immortal."

Hong Yi pondered silently.

Zhao Qingqing was just an ordinary disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and there would be no constraints in this respect.

But with core disciples and true inheritors like Xiao Xiyue, the sect valued them highly, and there would be certain constraints on behavior, such as in choosing a partner.

"So, this is Lu Ancestor, indeed as the rumors described, handsome as an immortal!"

"I heard that Lu Ancestor is not only the lord of a mountain, a Second-tier Top Level Talisman Master, but also so handsome. I really want to marry him."

"Yes, even if I were to be a servant or a maid, I would be willing..."

"To become a maid of Lu Ancestor, one must at least have a Middle Grade Spiritual Root, if only I had been born ten or twenty years earlier."

"I heard that in the early years when Lu Ancestor was at Qingzhu Mountain, he often took concubines from outside..."

"One look at Lu Mountain Lord ruins a lifetime..."

During the ceremony, many young girls who came with their elders to attend the ceremony and with certain motives, upon seeing Lu Changsheng's handsome and elegant demeanor, felt their hearts fluttering and lost.

After all, a Great Cultivator who had wealth, looks, and power, who wouldn't love such a person?

But for these young ladies, Lu Changsheng mostly didn't even take notice anymore.

The ceremony lasted for three days.

After the ceremony ended, Lu Changsheng accompanied Zhao Qingqing for another three days.

Then, he took Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan and left Bi Lake Mountain, heading to Qingyun Market, preparing to take a Spiritual Vessel to visit his children at the Jinyang Sect in Yue Country.
