``` After all, most cultivators do not spend too much time on starting families. Even if they take concubines, it’s mostly for dual cultivation, enjoyment, or even for replenishment. Few ever have offspring. Without offspring, the effect of giving away daughters is naturally quite limited and not very significant. Someone like Lu Changsheng, who marries and takes concubines, prolifically begets children, and values love and loyalty, naturally sparks thoughts in others who wish to forge connections through such means. ... During the days of the Lu Family’s preparation for the celebration, Lu Changsheng was at home with his wives, concubines, and children, serenely crafting talismans. He was ready to turn all hundred sets of second-grade talisman-making materials obtained from the Lu Family into talismans. "With the Profound Origin Bead and Divine Sense of Foundation Establishment Late Stage, I can even try drawing Third Rank Talismans," Lu Changsheng thought to himself after finishing a number of talismans in the talisman room. Feeling that with his current mana and Divine Sense, he could attempt to draw Third Rank Talismans. He had not considered drawing Third Rank Talismans before due to the lack of talisman materials as well as the absence of a Third Rank Talisman inheritance. Now with the Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture, there will never be a worry about inheritance. The scripture contains 126,600 variations of talismans derived from eighty-one types of spiritual patterns, covering everything from basic talismans to Fifth Rank Talismans. "However, to draw Third Rank Talismans, I will also need Third Rank Talisman-making materials and a Third Rank Talisman brush," "These can only be purchased in the Immortal City," Lu Changsheng muttered, letting out a breath and storing away the talismans before leaving the study. With his current mana and Divine Sense, he could continuously draw talismans for an entire day without feeling tired. But while at home, he still took time out to accompany his wives, concubines, and children to foster their relationships. "Husband, you have a letter," On seeing Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoyun handed over a letter, speaking out. "A letter for me?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖 Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised on hearing this. He used to correspond with Hong Yi quite often. But since he went to Ruyi Prefecture every few months, he didn’t exchange letters that much anymore. "Hmm, a letter from Feiyu?" Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised upon seeing the sender. Li Feiyu, who had returned once three or four years ago and didn’t find him, then proceeded to Azure Phoenix Immortal City, had been out of touch ever since. This was the first time he had written a letter to him. Lu Changsheng broke the seal on the letter and checked the contents. There wasn’t much said in the letter. It was just a simple greeting, with Li Feiyu sharing some observations and experiences from Azure Phoenix Immortal City, and then mentioning his breakthrough to Sixth Level Energy Refinement, now settled in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, asking Lu Changsheng not to worry. He said that in case of any matters, letters could be sent to Azure Phoenix Immortal City. Since the journey was long, he didn’t expect to return anytime soon. Therefore, he hoped Lu Changsheng, as his uncle, could help keep an eye on his children’s well-being and arrange their marriages. "It takes more than half a year to travel from Qingzhu Mountain to Azure Phoenix Immortal City," "Feiyu’s settling down in Azure Phoenix Immortal City and writing back now, indeed it has been more than three years," Lu Changsheng thought after reading the letter and feeling relieved to know his friend was fine. But he sighed at the thought of Li Feiyu’s decision to settle in Azure Phoenix Immortal City for the long term. Clearly, Li Feiyu intended to carve out an achievement in the Azure Phoenix Immortal City, perhaps even aiming for Foundation Establishment before returning. Although Azure Phoenix Immortal City is known as a haven for Loose Cultivators, full of opportunities that have launched many into soaring success, one could imagine that making a name and achieving something of significance is not so simple. Li Feiyu is currently only at Sixth Level Energy Refinement. Without a great opportunity, breaking through to Ninth Level Energy Refinement may take more than a decade, And the chances of achieving Foundation Establishment are even slimmer. "I can also visit Azure Phoenix Immortal City if there is a chance in the future," Lu Changsheng said as he put away the letter. Thinking that if he had time in the future, he could also take a trip to the Azure Phoenix Immortal City. After all, Azure Phoenix Immortal City is different from the other two major Immortal Cities; located at the border between Jiang Country and Yue Country, near the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, it is a sacred place for Loose Cultivators. ... Before one knew it, two months had passed. Today, Qingzhu Mountain is festooned with lanterns and streamers, radiating festive cheer. "The Patriarch of the Yu Family from Bi Lake Mountain has arrived!" "The Bai Family Head from Hundred Birds Lake has arrived!" "The Foundation Establishment Ancestor from Wugong Ridge Zheng Family has arrived!" "The Family Head from Ning Family of Creek Mountain has arrived!" The voices of the greeters were continuously raised, announcing each honored guest and the gifts they brought. Today is the celebration for Lu Changsheng, the Ninth Elder of the Lu Family, for being promoted to Second Grade Talisman Master. Thus, surrounding cultivation families, power groups with business relationships with the Lu Family, and cultivators all have come to attend. But if one observed closely, among the arriving guests, many were accompanied by a young and beautiful woman. "Rui’er, this Talisman Master Lu is only in his thirties, at the prime of his life," "He may even have a chance to become a Foundation Establishment Ancestor in the future. You must perform well later, and if he takes notice of you and takes you as a concubine, our Luo Family will have made it," a middle-aged man with a weathered face advised his treasured daughter. Like him, there were quite a few cultivators instructing their daughters and juniors. After all, those who came to attend the celebration had also inquired about this Talisman Master beforehand, and knew that he was a rarity among cultivators. Most cultivators, in their single-minded pursuit of cultivation, do not indulge themselves in worldly pleasures and the company of women. And even if they did indulge, it’s usually just with female cultivators—the objective being to relax, to enjoy, for dual cultivation, or replenishment. Someone like Lu Changsheng, who takes many wives and concubines and has fathered over a hundred children in just over ten years, is truly extraordinary. Moreover, rumor has it that this Talisman Master is quite generous to his wives, concubines, and children.
