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

Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu first rented two spirit steeds from Uncle Fu, along with a map.

Otherwise, how the two of them would go to Ruyi Prefecture was a question.

The spirit steeds were the same as the ones they rode when they first came to Qingzhu Mountain.

As for the map, it was a map of Jiang Country.

Jiang Country’s territory was vast, encompassing nine provinces.

Each province governed nine prefectures, each prefecture governed nine counties, and each county had many villages beneath it.

Places like Qingzhu Mountain, though not under the rule of Jiang Country, were still considered within its territory.

The Ruyi Prefecture that Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu were headed to was a major prefecture under the jurisdiction of Qing Province.

Lu Changsheng’s ancestral home was also in Ruyi Prefecture.

However, it was just a small mountain village under Qinghe County of Nanyu Prefecture within Ruyi Prefecture.

After looking over the rough route on the map, the two mounted their spirit steeds and set off.

“Before I realized it, three years had passed.”

After leaving Qingzhu Mountain, Li Feiyu thought about how he had gone from a worldly martial hero, one of the young masters, to a son-in-law in the cultivation world, and he felt quite emotional.

“Yeah, three years, I wonder how Hong Yi and Han Lin are doing.”

Lu Changsheng also felt somewhat emotional.

He remembered that three years ago, he awakened his memory during the Immortal Sects’ examination and then became a son-in-law in the Lu Family.

Overall, Lu Changsheng was quite satisfied with his growth over these three years.

“Hong Yi, born into the Ruyi Marquis Mansion, already had the strength of the Third Level Energy Refinement back then, and he must have broken through to the Fourth Level Energy Refinement by now.”

“As for Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing, they are cultivating in the Qingyun Sect, and I estimate they are around the Third or Fourth Level Energy Refinement as well.”

“It’s just Xiao Xiyue… With her Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, I have no idea how far she has cultivated in three years.”

Li Feiyu looked up at the azure sky and spoke out loud.

Back then, among the six of us, Hong Yi was exposed to cultivation early on because he was born into the Ruyi Marquis’s Mansion, and he had the power of the Third Level Energy Refinement.

However, Hong Yi only possessed an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root, and even though he returned to the Marquis’s Mansion and had access to resources, they were definitely limited, so his improvement in three years wouldn’t be too significant.

Whereas Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing had Seventh and Sixth Grade Spiritual Roots, respectively.

Even if they were cultivating in a cultivation sect like Qingyun Sect, they wouldn’t be expected to get too far ahead in such a short time.

Only Xiao Xiyue’s Fourth Grade Spiritual Root was beyond their speculation.

After speaking, Li Feiyu thought of Lu Changsheng, who had now also broken through to the Third Level Energy Refinement.

That meant that among the six of them, he had the lowest cultivation level, with only the Second Level Energy Refinement, and his heart couldn’t help but feel a touch of sadness.

“It should be about the same, the gap wouldn’t be too big in just three years.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

He felt that Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing were probably at the Third Level Energy Refinement.

After all, the two of them were only Seventh and Sixth Grade Spiritual Roots.

If they had broken through to the Fourth Level Energy Refinement in three years, then the conditions of the Immortal Sects would be many times better than he had imagined.

Seeing Li Feiyu suddenly fall silent and look somewhat despondent after speaking, Lu Changsheng paused and guessed the reason.

Once you got to know Li Feiyu, he appeared quite amiable and casual.

But Lu Changsheng knew that the latter was actually quite proud at heart.

This was normal; in the past, as the young deputy head of the Crimson Whale Gang, Li Feiyu was a top-notch expert in the martial world even at a young age—calling him a youthful prodigy was by no means an overstatement.

But now, three years had passed, and among the six who had embarked on the path of cultivation together, his situation seemed to be the worst.

Moreover, he still owed the Lu Family for forty-eight children, a thought that was distressing.

“Feiyu, don’t think too much about the matters concerning the Lu Family for now.”

“As for the matter of having children, let’s wait a few years. Once my Talisman Master skills improve further, I’ll try to negotiate with the Family Head to get your obligation reduced.”

Lu Changsheng spoke.

He was blessed with the system of ‘multiple children bring fortune’, so he wasn’t concerned about fifty, a hundred, two hundred, or even a thousand children; he was willing to have them all.

But Li Feiyu did not have such a system, indeed fifty children seemed a bit too much.

Not only would it affect my cultivation, but once I leave the Lu Family, the child would no longer be mine, which is truly difficult to accept.

As a friend, a good brother, I’d naturally help out if it’s within my power.

However, right now I’m just a First Grade Lower Grade Talisman Master, with limited authority.

I plan to wait another year or so until I can reveal myself as a First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master, which would give me more say, and then try to help Li Feiyu with this matter.

“It’s nothing, how could I trouble you with such a thing, besides…”

Li Feiyu fell silent for a moment and then shook his head.

During this time, Lu Changsheng had already helped him a lot.

Every time he came over, he would bring him gifts, and he felt embarrassed to keep troubling Lu Changsheng.

Besides, he felt that this matter would also be troublesome for Lu Changsheng.

But before he could finish talking, Lu Changsheng directly waved his hand and said, “We’re so close, you’re being a stranger by saying that.”

“Besides, I also need your help with something.”

“What is it?”

Li Feiyu, somewhat moved, nodded and asked.

“I’m going home to visit my family and it’s impossible to bring them over here.”

“So, I would like to trouble you to ask the Crimson Whale Gang to take care of my family in the future.”

Lu Changsheng said.

He knew that he would eventually leave the Lu Family and couldn’t always live under others’ shelter, so naturally he couldn’t bring his family to Qingzhu Mountain.

Not only is it inconvenient, but he also didn’t want to do so.

As for taking care of his family, he was not in a position to do so.

But he also could not neglect them entirely.

So, he thought of Li Feiyu’s Crimson Whale Gang, which had significant influence in the secular world, and decided to ask Li Feiyu’s family to help take care of his own.

He didn’t ask for much, just to ensure that his family would have a lifetime of carefree sustenance and wealth.

“This little matter is hardly troublesome; leave it to me,”

Li Feiyu said directly upon hearing this.

After all, he was the Young Leader of the Crimson Whale Gang.

Though he had been away from home for many years and likely lost the position of Young Leader, the Leader was still his father, and he was confident that this matter would not be a problem.

“Also, I have so many children that it’s impossible for all of them to have a Spiritual Root.”

“So I was thinking, for any child who cannot engage in cultivation, I’d like to trouble you to teach them martial arts.”

Lu Changsheng continued.

Though it would be quite some time before the children could grow up and learn martial arts, since they were on the topic, he just said it outright and asked for any advice on this matter.

After all, Li Feiyu grew up practicing martial arts from a young age and was very clear about these things.

“Martial arts?”

“That’s naturally not a problem, it’s just that martial arts training is very hard. As long as you are willing, it’s fine.”

Li Feiyu replied, seemingly recalling something, and shook his head.

He could tell that Lu Changsheng was very indulgent with his children on a regular basis and didn’t seem like someone who would allow his children to endure hardship.

“For such matters, I will follow their own choices when the time comes.”

“Besides, what’s a little hardship?”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

He naturally didn’t have any reservations about such things.

Although he would not force his children to do anything, he was also not willing to spoil them to the point of being unwilling to let them face hardships and grow up spoiled and pampered.

Moreover, this first group of children would be the foundation for building his family in the future.

He would naturally put in more effort to not let them go astray and to help them become successful.

And so, the two of them chatted idly while making their way.

At night, they took turns keeping watch, to avoid any accidents.
