Therefore, in his heart, Lu Xianzhi still held immense admiration and respect for his own father. "Haha, your father strives hard in the hope that your path will be smoother and you will go farther than I have." Upon hearing his son’s words, Lu Changsheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying. He then continued, "Now that you’ve broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refinement, I plan to take you to the marketplace to broaden your horizons and gain some experience. What do you think?" "Son will follow Father’s arrangements." Upon hearing this, Lu Xianzhi immediately nodded in agreement. Having been in Qingzhu Mountain for so many years, he naturally yearned for the cultivation world and wanted to go out and see it for himself. "Good, prepare yourself." "Tomorrow, come with me to the Red Leaf Valley Market." Lu Changsheng nodded his head and said. He told Lu Xianzhi to go and say farewell to the family and friends. "Congratulations, Brother Xianzhi." "Congratulations to the seventh brother for breaking through to the middle stage of Qi Refinement." The other children in the courtyard, upon hearing that Lu Xianzhi had broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refinement and that Lu Changsheng was going to take him to the Red Leaf Valley Market, expressed their envy and congratulations. Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen, the aunties, also heard the news and each gave gifts to encourage him. After all, being the first child in the family to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refinement had its special significance and was worth celebrating. Under these circumstances, Lu Xianzhi seemed to take on a bit more responsibility. Although he was the seventh in the family, those ranked ahead of him like Lu Ping’an, due to the lack of a Spiritual Root, had all been sent into the secular world. Therefore, in Qingzhu Mountain, he was effectively the eldest, bearing the responsibilities of an older brother. After a small celebration, the next day, Lu Changsheng rode atop an Iron Feather Eagle, taking his son, Lu Xianzhi, with him to the Red Leaf Valley Market. First, he took Lu Xianzhi to the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop to meet Lu Miaoge. Although he planned to have Lu Xianzhi stay at the Peace Talisman Hall, he had to bring him over to meet with her since he was here. With him often absent, Lu Xianzhi could come to Lu Miaoge if he had any issues. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦 In the Red Leaf Valley Market, Lu Miaoge was quite an influential figure. "Xianzhi, feel free to come by your auntie’s place when you have the time." Lu Miaoge said with a gentle and amiable expression. She was much more well-off than the other wives and concubines of Lu Changsheng and gave Lu Xianzhi a Magic Artifact as a gift. "Many thanks, Auntie." Lu Xianzhi seldom met with this auntie, Lu Miaoge, and did not feel very close to her, slightly restrained. After accepting the gift, he bowed respectfully. After a brief chat, Lu Changsheng took Lu Xianzhi to visit the Peace Talisman Hall. "Peace Talisman Hall, Dad, is this our family’s shop?" Lu Xianzhi looked at the shop in front of him and asked aloud. He knew that besides owning a hundred mu of spiritual land on Qingzhu Mountain, his father also owned a spirit talisman shop and a mansion in the Red Leaf Valley Market. The reason why he and his siblings had such comfortable conditions was due to this spiritual land and the shop and mansion. "That’s right, this is our family’s spirit talisman shop." Lu Changsheng nodded and said, "I didn’t bring you here to learn Talisman Making. "Instead, I want you to broaden your horizons and understand the ins and outs of managing a shop, doing business." "Aren’t you interested in Puppets? Now that you’ve broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refinement, you can spend some time on this." "If there’s anything you don’t understand, come and ask your father." "Once you become a Puppet Master, your father will open a shop for you." Lu Changsheng spoke to his son. His son might not have a talent for Talisman Making, but he did have some for Puppets. Since he had just begun cultivation, Lu Changsheng hadn’t wanted him to be distracted by Puppets. Now that he had broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refinement, Lu Changsheng was willing to let him spend some time on it. After all, the art of Puppets was also an important part of his future that needed to be passed on. "Yes, Father!" Upon hearing this, Lu Xianzhi looked at the words ’Peace Talisman Hall’ and pursed his lips, showing determination in his eyes. "Shopkeeper." "Shopkeeper." As the two entered the shop, the greeters and Shopkeeper Gao He immediately greeted them resoundingly. "Xianzhi, this is your Uncle Gao." Lu Changsheng introduced to Lu Xianzhi. "Uncle Gao." Lu Xianzhi promptly called out. On the way over, Lu Changsheng had briefly explained the situation of the Spiritual Talisman Shop. He knew that this man with a round face and slightly aged appearance was the shopkeeper of the spirit talisman shop. "Old Gao, this is my son, Lu Xianzhi." "I plan to place him in the shop as an apprentice, to gain some experience and understand how the shop is managed." "You won’t need to teach him about making talismans, but I’ll trouble you to instruct him in other aspects." Lu Changsheng spoke to his old friend Gao He. The two had known each other for more than ten years and had been employer and employee for six years. Since Lu Changsheng had always been an absent shop owner, and Gao He managed the shop well, their personal relationship remained quite good. "Sure, no problem." Gao He, upon hearing that this was the young shop owner, immediately smiled and agreed. This practice of placing family children in the shop to learn was quite common. As long as Lu Xianzhi wasn’t a spoiled brat, he naturally wouldn’t have any objections. Moreover, having been a shopkeeper for so many years, he had a good eye and could tell that Lu Xianzhi didn’t seem to be a troublesome person. After Lu Xianzhi was settled in, Lu Changsheng left for his mansion to check on Xiao Xiyue’s condition. After all, according to the timeline, Xiao Xiyue was due to give birth this month. The thought of Xiao Xiyue’s child being soon born inevitably filled Lu Changsheng with anticipation. However, after waiting for a month, the child in Xiao Xiyue’s womb did not arrive as expected. Lu Changsheng was not worried about this situation; instead, he showed a look of delight. Because children who are born later than expected are either problematic or naturally extraordinary with potentially excellent Spiritual Root quality.
