Chapter 171 – Grand Ceremony Celebration, Promotion to Fourth Grade Spiritual Root!

Chapter 171 – Grand Ceremony Celebration, Promotion to Fourth Grade Spiritual Root!

Three days later.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao returned to Green Bamboo Mountain.

“Husband, Sister Miaoge.”

“Father, Mother, Auntie.”

When the family’s wives, concubines and children saw Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao return, there was a flurry of activity.

After reuniting with their families, chatting fervently, and having a meal, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao got up to pay their respects to the Fourth Elder.

Preparing to tell the Fourth Elder about his second-order talisman making.

“Yun’er, call out to Little Yun’er and go with me to pay respects to Grandma.”

Lu Changsheng called his wife Lu Miaoyun and his son Lu Yun up together.

Nowadays, the one that the Fourth Elder usually loved the most was his own son, Lu Yun.

As for Lu Yun, he was also twelve years old and had begun cultivating two months ago, completing the introduction of qi into his body.

Today, he has four children who have begun to cultivate immortality, completing the introduction of qi into the body.

However, no new achievement rewards were triggered.

This caused Lu Changsheng to say in his heart, it’s hard to believe that you have to reach a value of ten before you can trigger a subsequent draw.

Also curious if the child could get a lottery reward if he or she broke through the middle stage of Qi Refining.

“Yes, husband.”

Lu Miaoyun was not surprised.

Every time Lu Changsheng came back, he would go to pay his respects to the Fourth Elder.

Spinning around, he called out to his son Lu Yun to go over.

However, her daughter Lu Yu sniffed and followed along.

Faced with this, she naturally would not refuse, and took a few of her sons and daughters with her.

The crowd arrived at the courtyard of the fourth elder.

“Changsheng, Yun’er, Miaoge, why are you all here.”

The Fourth Elder’s head full of silver hair was elegantly coiled up, wearing a dark green dress, and was sunbathing in the backyard.

When he saw Lu Changsheng and the others, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

“I thought I’d come over to see you.”

Lu Changsheng laughed.

“Grandma Zu.”

A couple of children then came up to the old man and cried out sweetly.

“Hey, good boy.”

The fourth elder looked at the several children and revealed a kind smile, touching his head and taking out spirit fruits from his storage bag, dessert.

The housekeeper, Zi Zhu, also came with tea.

The family chats with the elderly.

“Eternal Life, how are you nowadays in terms of making charms.”

After chatting for a long time, the Fourth Elder asked about Lu Changsheng’s talisman making skills.

That’s what she cares to ask every time.

He was afraid that Lu Changsheng would be distracted and delay the talismanic path.

“Grandma, I also came over this time because I wanted to tell you that I’ve successfully drawn a second-order talisman.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and said with a smile.

“What, Changsheng, you you . You’ve advanced to a second-rank Rune Master!”

When the Fourth Elder heard Lu Changsheng’s words, his amiable and kind face suddenly revealed a shocked, unbelievable expression.

Next to them, Lu Miaoyun and the child also looked at their own husband, father, with a look of amazement, astonishment, and surprise.

They naturally knew clearly what successfully drawing a second-order talisman represented.

It meant that Lu Changsheng already had one foot in the second rank and was considered a second rank talisman master.

Currently, in the entire Green Bamboo Mountain, there was not a single second-order talisman master.

And now, their husband, their father, had become a second-order rune master.

The news made them happy and honored as well.

“Yes Grandma.”

“A few days ago I was lucky enough to successfully draw a second-order Thunderfire Talisman.”

“So after arranging the affairs of the workshop with Sister Miaoge, I came back to tell you this news.”

Lu Changsheng said towards the old man in front of him.

After saying that, he handed the Thunder Fire Talisman that he had successfully drawn to the Fourth Elder to look at.

The Fourth Elder received the Thunder Fire Talisman and held it in his hands to scrutinize and speculate.

The next few little ones couldn’t read it, but they were also curious to look at the talisman.

They had never seen a second-order talisman before.

“Well, well, well.”

“Everlasting you really didn’t let Grandma down.”

After looking at the talisman in his hand for a while, the Fourth Elder took a deep breath and exhaled it out, shouting in a row, his face full of joy, happy and unable to close his mouth.

At her age, she’s long since looked away from a lot of things.

The heart is also mindful of the family’s prosperity and the children and grandchildren’s successors.

As her granddaughter-in-law, Lu Changsheng had long been treated as her own grandson and had high hopes.

At this time, seeing his grandson, who had high hopes, achieve the second-order talisman master, he was naturally happy from the bottom of his heart.

“And that’s thanks to your constant guidance, Grandma.”

“There’s also the second-order inheritance you gave me, the Note on Talisman Making, or else Eternal Life wouldn’t have been able to get this far so quickly.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile on his face.

“Oh, and you don’t have to compliment Grandma and say such nice things.”

“The fact that you’ve gotten this far is all due to your own hard work and talent, and there’s only so much help Grandma can give you.”

The Fourth Elder said with a smile.

She naturally knew that Lu Changsheng was paying himself a compliment.

After all, she had never been less than instructive in teaching Lu Miaogao.

There was more thought spent on Lu Miaogao in the beginning.

However, compared to Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaogao was clearly inferior.

“Have you spoken to the head of the family about this matter.”

The Fourth Elder asked out loud.

“No, Sister Miaoge and I just came back not long after this, so we came over to tell you the news.”

Lu Changsheng opened his mouth.

“Everlasting, you have a heart.”

“For such a great joyous event, it’s also time to notify the family head, the old ancestor, so that the clan can organize a grand ceremony to properly celebrate.”

The Fourth Elder held his granddaughter-in-law’s hand in front of him and said with a pleased expression.

Now that the family had produced a second-order talisman master, naturally they wouldn’t hide it and had to have a big celebration.

Even organizing a grand ceremony, inviting neighboring clans, and informing them widely to enhance the family’s reputation.

“A big celebration, that won’t work.”

Lu Changsheng sniffed and said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

I didn’t expect that I would actually have to organize a grand ceremony when I was only promoted to a second-order talisman master.

People would at least break through the Foundation Establishment before organizing a Foundation Establishment Ceremony.

“Yes, yes, yes, this is a second-order talisman master, the first second-order talisman master of our Lu Family, so naturally we should celebrate.”

The Fourth Elder said smilingly.

Then he looked at Lu Miaogang and said, “Miaogang, how are you doing in terms of making charms nowadays.”

“Fourth Grandmother, I’m currently prepared to attempt to draw a second-order talisman as well.”

Lu Miaogao said with a warm smile.

Under Lu Changsheng’s usual guidance and teaching, she had been making progress in talisman making as well.

Nowadays, in terms of the first rank, they also belonged to the top talisman masters, so they could try practicing the second rank talismans.

“Well well well, you and Changsheng exchange more exchanges, maybe our Lu family, in the future, has two second-order talisman masters.”

After the Fourth Elder finished, he got a little excited himself thinking about this day.

Although a second-order talisman master was not as good as a Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator.

But the status is also extraordinary.

Even a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator would give a few points of face.

If Green Bamboo Mountain had two second-order talisman masters sitting on it, it would also be flourishing and more prosperous.

“Don’t you worry Grandma.”

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao looked at the old man in this manner, looked at each other, smiled, and nodded and said.

“Congratulations to Husband for being promoted to the second rank of Rune Master!”

At this time, Lu Miaoyun also voiced out her congratulations to Lu Changsheng with a happy face.

Looking at her own husband who had a jade-like face and a jade-like appearance in front of her, her mind could not help but recall the time, when Lu Changsheng had become a mid-grade talisman master, and the family had asked her to marry Lu Changsheng.

I don’t realize that more than a decade has passed.

The once superfluous son-in-law of the Lu Family had become a family elder and was promoted to a second-order talisman master.

This made her heart happy and at the same time gave birth to a few moments of despondency.

He felt that his husband was so powerful and excellent, but his own cultivation was still at the bottleneck of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and there was usually no place where he could help Lu Changsheng.

“Congratulations daddy, congratulations daddy!”

The few children next to him also immediately congratulated Lu Changsheng.

“Hahaha, well well well.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded.

“Go go go, Eternal Life, I’ll go with you to see the Old Ancestor.”

The Fourth Elder couldn’t wait to make this announcement and tell Lu Yuanzhong.

“It’s Grandma.”

It was also the first time Lu Changsheng had seen the old man look like this, so he also obeyed the other party.

Immediately, the Fourth Elder brought Lu Changsheng to the Green Bamboo Great Hall to meet with Family Head Lu Miaoshang.

“What, Changsheng you’ve been promoted to a second-ranked talisman master!”

This new head of the Lu Family was also pleasantly surprised to hear the news of Lu Changsheng’s promotion to Second Order Rune Master.

After all, if the Lu Family had one more second-order talisman master, it would be one more piece of heritage.

Not only can it make business better on the Lu family’s spiritual talisman store side.

It’s also an extra deterrent to the outside world.

Moreover, he was also able to recruit some talisman masters’ guest ministers to make offerings through Lu Changsheng, a second-order talisman master.

Immediately, he sent a message to Lu Yuanzhong with a face of joy and excitement.

This Old Ancestor Yuan Zhong spent most of his time in closed-door cultivation deep within the Green Bamboo Valley.

Except when the family encounters something big.

Or before the Red Leaf Valley this kind of thing, the auction, usually rarely go out.

Not long after, deep in the Red Leaf Valley, a reclining light flew towards here.

It was the Lu family’s oldest ancestor, Lu Yuanzhong.

Through his divine sense at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Lu Changsheng could tell at a glance the cultivation level of this Old Man Yuan Zhong.

Second level of foundation building.

It’s about time to do the math.

More than seven years had passed since the battle between the Lu and Chen Families.

And it was then that Lu Yuanzhong broke through to Foundation Establishment.

Now that seven or eight years had passed, it was normal to break through from the first layer of Foundation Establishment to the second layer of Foundation Establishment.

After all, Foundation Establishment was the same as Qi Refining, one, two, or three small realms with no bottlenecks.

Only when one breaks through the fourth layer from the third layer, and the early stage of Foundation Establishment breaks through the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, there is a bottleneck that exists.

“Fourth Aunt, Eternal Life, you’re here too, is something wrong?”

Lu Yuanzhong looked at the crowd and spoke out.

Although he was the Lu Family’s oldest ancestor, he didn’t put up much of a fight in private.

“Ancestor.”

Lu Miaochang immediately told Lu Yuanzhong about Lu Changsheng’s second-ranked talisman master.

“Second-order Rune Master!”

“Good, good, good.”

When Lu Yuanzhong, the Foundation Establishment Ancestor, heard this news, his eyes also sparkled with joy and he shouted.

As the family’s Foundation Establishment Ancestor, he was also under a great deal of pressure.

The entire family relies on him, the oldest ancestor, to hold it together.

He, the oldest ancestor, can’t have a half-assed accident.

Once a half-assed accident occurs, the entire family will suffer.

Now that there was Lu Changsheng, a second-order talisman master, at least the Lu family’s situation, on the surface, would be a few points better.

After all, success was also the Red Leaf Valley Chen Family, and defeat was also the Red Leaf Valley Chen Family.

At first, the Lu Family relied on the destruction of the Chen Family and the establishment of the Red Leaf Valley Workshop to obtain a sum of spirit stone resources, causing the family to start going uphill.

But likewise, because of this matter, the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace, was targeted by many forces.

Once the Lu family encountered any situation, these people, the forces would transform into evil tigers pouncing on them.

“Eternal Life, such a great joyous event as being promoted to Second Order Rune Master should naturally be celebrated.”

“Why don’t we pick an auspicious day, hold a grand ceremony, invite guests and celebrate.”

Lu Yuanzhong looked at Lu Changsheng and said so.

His thoughts were the same as the Fourth Elder’s.

I hope that Lu Changsheng will organize a grand ceremony to celebrate and inform the public widely.

Let the neighboring clans know that their Lu family had a second-order talisman master sitting in their midst.

Lu Changsheng didn’t say anything when he heard this.

If he were to follow his own words, he would be less inclined to engage in such hilarity.

After all, it was only a second-order Rune Master.

Where’s the need for all the pomp and circumstance.

However, looking at the appearance of Lu Yuanzhong, the fourth elder, and Lu Miachang, he also roughly understood the meaning of several people’s thoughts.

The Lu family’s current situation requires a boost in family prestige.

A second-ranked talisman master was able to bring the Lu family a lot of fame boost.

“Old Ancestor, although I managed to draw a second-order talisman, the completion rate is too low to be considered a true second-order talisman master.”

“So it seems to me that there’s no rush on this canonization thing.”

“It won’t be too late to hold it when I familiarize myself with the second-order talismans and the success rate comes up.”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said.

Since we are going to handle the grand ceremony, there might be people who will cause trouble, provoke, and question the ceremony.

Although he has a second-order talisman making skill, he is not afraid of any provocative questioning.

But it wasn’t good to perform too amazingly just after being promoted to a second rank rune master.

Since this was the case, he himself would wait a little longer, and it would be easier to deal with this situation when it did come up.

“Alright, just do what you said Nagisa.”

“Just talk to Myojo when you’re ready.”

Lu Yuanzhong sniffed and nodded.

Thinking that Lu Changsheng had a point.

“Okay, Nagisa, just let me know if you’re ready to talk.”

Lu Miaochang immediately nodded and said.

Subsequently, he also said that Lu Changsheng could just talk to him directly if he wanted to branch out from the clan for talisman-making materials.

In terms of other treatments, since Lu Changsheng was already a family elder, there was no way to upgrade this.

He could only increase his monthly supply to Lu Changsheng in terms of second-order talisman-making materials.

Lu Changsheng didn’t have much to say about this.

Knowing that a family’s resources were limited, it was impossible to say that he would be fully supplied when he was promoted to a second-order Rune Master.

It’s night.

“Rue, what’s wrong with you?”

Lu Changsheng saw that his wife Lu Miaoyun seemed to have something on her mind.

“Husband, am I useless.”

Lu Miaoyun raised her forehead and pursed her lips.

Lu Changsheng sniffed, his heart vaguely guessed that it was the fact that he had revealed himself as a second-order talisman master today that made Lu Miaoyun feel pressured and insecure, and he couldn’t help but think more in his heart.

Immediately pressed his wife’s shaved shoulders, and spoke out to comfort her: “How could it be, if it wasn’t for Yun’er you taking care of your home, how could my husband be able to concentrate on cultivating and practicing the Rune Dao, so easily and comfortably.”

“Yun’er don’t think too much, you and I are husband and wife, after this for the rest of our lives, naturally we should work hand in hand.”

Lu Changsheng wrapped his arms around his wife and comforted her in a warm voice.

Although this wife is usually sensible and sensible, and has the demeanor of a great woman, she keeps the backyard in good order

However, Lu Changsheng knew that Lu Miaoyun’s nature actually belonged to the soft and weak nature as well.

Now that I am faced with my situation, there is some pressure as a wife to not think about it more.

“Husband.”

Lu Miaoyun pursed her glistening pink lips and looked at her husband in a daze.

“Husband is, and always will be, by your side.”

“Don’t think too much about it, just say whatever is on your mind directly to your husband.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the gorgeous hibiscus face and said in a warm voice.

He’s not some heartless man.

Although taking a wife and concubine and having children is a system of multiplication, due diligence will still be done.

A virtuous wife helps me to aspire to the green clouds, and I return ten thousand taels of gold to my virtuous wife.

“Husband.”

Lu Miaoyun’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she lightly called out and snuggled into Lu Changsheng’s arms.

“Sleep.”

Lu Changsheng laughed lightly, seeing his wife’s once adorable and delicate side.

“Uh-huh.”

Lu Miaoyun listened to this and gently answered.

Under the two curved willow leaf thin eyebrows, the eyelashes lightly fluttered, and the face emerged with a tranquil color, gradually entering sleep.

Lu Changsheng looked at the little petite wife in his arms, hearing her even and consistent breathing, his heart was at peace.

Time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye, half a year passes.

On this day, Lu Changsheng was accompanying Xiao Xiyue for shopping.

Being pregnant for half a year, Xiao Xi Yue’s stomach was also very obvious.

And with the pregnancy, this cool and holy Moon Palace Fairy, who is alone on weekdays, is no longer that cool.

Every now and then she would touch her protruding belly and her face would glow with a motherly-like light.

“Nagisa, the baby is kicking me.”

Xiao Xi Yue felt the fetal movement coming from her stomach and pampered Lu Chang Sheng.

“Okay, I’ll remember that, and when he’s born, I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”

Lu Changsheng immediately caressed the fairy’s jade belly and softly said.

“Hmph, how can you be a father like that and hold a grudge against your child.”

Xiao Xiyue sniffed and immediately pinched at Lu Changsheng.

“Bullying my mother, that naturally holds a grudge.”

Lu Changsheng grunted.

Right at this moment, a sudden metaphysical throb came, accompanied by a system beep.

[Congratulations to the host whose number of spirit root children has reached thirty-five, earning him a chance at the lottery!

This metaphysical throbbing was not a flash in the pan.

Rather, it was in the sense that it made his body throb, causing an unspeakable joy to arise in Lu Changsheng’s heart.

He knew that his spiritual root, promoted.

From a fifth-grade spiritual root, he’s been promoted to a fourth-grade spiritual root.

“This child’s spiritual root has at least a fifth-grade spiritual root, or even a fourth-grade spiritual root!”

Lu Changsheng was surprised in his heart.

He had only had a total of three Sixth Grade Spiritual Root heirs before.

Relying on such a lower-grade spiritual root made his fifth-grade spiritual root want to advance to a fourth-grade spiritual root, and there was still some difference.

At this time, his own spiritual root was directly promoted to the fourth grade, letting him know that this child of his had a spiritual root that was very good.

“That’s about right, too, after having a hundred and forty-one children, I finally got lucky for once.”

Lu Changsheng murmured in his heart.

But looking at Xiao Xi Yue next to him, he didn’t say anything.

Immediately collecting his mind, he pretended that nothing had happened and continued to hang out with the other party.

When the two of them had wandered around for another half an hour, they returned to the cave.

And at that moment, Lu Changsheng also came out to the quiet room.

“System.”

Lu Changsheng murmured in his heart.

[Name: Lu Changsheng]

[Identity: Son-in-law of the Lu family of Green Bamboo Mountain]

[Cultivation level: Foundation level 1]

[Life expectancy: 35/269]

[Talent: Fourth-grade spiritual root, Gengjin’s body (medium spiritual body)]

[Techniques: Hundred Refinement Treasure Body Technique, Seven Observations Great Self-Realization Sword Sutra, Yin-Yang Harmony Technique, Immortal Posture Technique]

[Spells: Seven Observations Sword Mantle, Seven Observations Sword Shield, Seven Observations Sword Escape…]

[Items: Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi, Spiritual Brightness Treasure Tree, Golden Armor Bean Mother, Black Dragon Dharma Bead, Devil’s Fury Spell Fate Book, Replacement Fate Talisman, Xuan Yuan Bead, and Crystal Congealing Pill]

[Skills: Talisman Making (2nd level), Puppetry (2nd level), Spirit Slaughter (2nd level)]

[Spirit Pet: Nine Phantom Mastiff, Peach Blossom Compass, Six-winged Golden Silkworm, Hope Compass]

[Heirs: 141/144]

“Fourth grade spiritual root, one step short, I’ll be a top grade spiritual root.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the genuine fourth-grade Spiritual Root on the system panel and was delighted.

Then look to the children’s column.

The mind moved slightly to find the child that he had just born.

[Name: not yet named]

[Life expectancy: 1/79]

[Talent: Fourth Grade Spiritual Root]

[Cultivation: None]

“Fourth grade spiritual root, it really is a fourth grade spiritual root!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the child and was very surprised.

He had guessed before that this child was, at the very least, a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, or even a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root.

Now that I see the system panel, I finally get confirmation.

“Fourth grade spirit root, aside from Qing Shan, this child is the most talented of all my children.”

Lu Changsheng was very happy in his heart.

Of all his children, the one who originally had the best talent was Lu Qingshan, who had a sixth-grade spiritual root and possessed a Gengjin body.

This child’s fourth grade spiritual root, although not as good as Lu Qingshan’s, was still considered very good.

He believed that under his cultivation, this child, in the future, would not have much of a problem establishing a foundation.

“Fourth grade spirit root, if you want to, you can still consider sending it to the Immortal Sect when the time comes.”

Lu Changsheng thought in his heart.

While he felt he could afford to raise them, he could also be multi-faceted.

Some children are left at home to train themselves, while others are sent to the Immortal Gate.

This not only saves resources and gives your children a better environment to grow up in, but also expands your family network.

Moreover, by sending the child to the Qing Yun Sect, it would also allow Xiao Xi Yue to help take care of it.

“But there are gains and losses, sending a child to the Immortal Sect will relatively reduce the closeness to the family by quite a bit.”

“And being sent to the Immortal Sect, with all its competition and clan affairs, isn’t necessarily better than the family.”

“Forget it, this is far away, there’s no rush.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly and didn’t think much in that regard.

Under his breath, he muttered, “System, lottery!”

Since there was a lottery, he naturally wouldn’t save it and would have to just draw it.

Immediately, the system attribute panel blurred and transformed into a familiar lottery tray.

“Draw!”

Looking at the raffle disk, Lu Changsheng’s mind moved slightly and began to draw.

If people feel watered down, they can point out the problem.

I myself have realized that there are a lot of side issues with what I write.

This kind of content does little to advance the plot and leads to a watery look.

But again, I feel like writing this kind of stuff because I don’t know when I started writing more and more hi-fine myself, which leads to me being a bit of an authority on my own, and it’s hard to judge.

As for pointing to a sentence of water, this is something I really don’t think is necessary, there are times when repeating a sentence makes it flow better for me.

And I’m not going to do this deliberate watering down of a hundred or so words to cheat me out of money, I’m going to do minor fixes after each chapter.

For example, this chapter charges four thousand six hundred words for five thousand one hundred words of actual content.

A lot of my chapters with minor revisions finish with a few hundred more words than the charge, and even a few chapters with thousands more, so I’m really not thinking of going underwater by repeating a few words, thank you.
