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

Upon hearing these words, Lu Changsheng immediately understood what Gao He meant.

It was a sign that there were some issues with the supplies for the shop.

Having been in the shop for so long, how could he not understand the ins and outs?

The entire procurement, purchasing, and partnership of the Spiritual Talisman Shop were left to the Shopkeeper Zhang Shan alone.

To claim there was not a hint of embezzlement or personal gain, he couldn’t believe it at all.

He had casually established a supplier title himself for collaboration; it obviously wouldn’t be difficult for Zhang Shan to do the same.

However, Zhang Shan had been working in the Spiritual Talisman Shop for over ten years, and his performance was decent for the most part of this past year, capable of doing things well.

Hence, taking a little extra for oneself wasn’t entirely indefensible.

As long as it wasn’t excessive, Lu Changsheng was willing to turn a blind eye.

After all, the clearest water has no fish.

“Thank you for the reminder, Brother Gao. I also understand the principles behind it,”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“It seems I’ve said too much, but then again, there isn’t really any serious problem,”

said Gao Shan, realizing that his concern was unnecessary.

Having interacted with Lu Changsheng for so long and having a good relationship, he worried that Lu Changsheng, being so young, might be kept in the dark, so he spoke out as a reminder.

“Brother Gao, willing to discuss this with me shows that you regard me, Lu Changsheng, as a friend,”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, knowing Gao He meant well.

He also knew what kind of person Gao He was, or else he wouldn’t have asked him for help.

Soon after, the two left the shop with a laugh and went to the Jade Meal Pavilion for a meal.

Upon seeing the two, the owner of the Jade Meal Pavilion, Yu Maocheng, gave them a 20% discount and even offered a plate of appetizers for free.

Three days later.

“Second Elder, Sister Miaoge,”

Lu Changsheng was bathing in the backyard.

Upon hearing from the maid, Bai He, that the Second Elder and the young lady had come to visit, he promptly went to the living room.

“Hehe, I originally intended to notify you to come directly to the great residence to stay, as we will be departing for Qingzhu Mountain early tomorrow morning.

However, I thought you’ve been living by yourself for such a long time without us visiting, so we decided to come and see you. I hope we haven’t disturbed you?”

In the hall, the Second Elder, clad in a green robe with a tall figure, held tea in his hand and said with a chuckle.

Sister Miaoge, Lu Miaoge, sat elegantly in white to the side.

“How could that be? Second Elder, your visit is most welcome,”

Lu Changsheng replied politely.

Then, Lu Changsheng chatted with the Second Elder for a while and took the Second Elder and Lu Miaoge on a brief tour of the yard.

During the process, the Second Elder noticed so many “birds and swallows” in Lu Changsheng’s yard and couldn’t help but shake his head, thinking that Lu Changsheng’s reputation for loving the company of women was indeed well-deserved.

How long has it been since he came to the Nine Dragons Market?

In just over half a year, he had taken in so many maids and concubines with outstanding looks and figures.

When he saw several maids and concubines with bulging bellies, he frowned slightly and took a closer look.

Eventually, he realized that almost all the women in the yard were pregnant.

The Second Elder couldn’t help but count them.

One, two, three… eleven!

After tallying the number of pregnant women, the Second Elder was instantly bewildered.

He had not expected Lu Changsheng to be so prolific with his concubines and maids, not only having so many but also getting them all pregnant.

Was the vitality of the young so exuberant?

Instead of cultivation, drawing Spirit Talismans, or working, were they occupied doing other things?

The Second Elder looked at Lu Changsheng and inquired, “Changsheng, are these all your newly taken maids and concubines? Carrying your children?”

Even though he knew his question was redundant, as these women were obviously Lu Changsheng’s maids and concubines, carrying Lu Changsheng’s children, he couldn’t help but confirm once more.

Mainly because it was quite outrageous.

For Cultivators, indulgence in the pleasures of men and women could harm one’s vital essence and affect the speed of cultivation.

Even for cultivator couples practicing dual cultivation, they were extremely temperate, engaging only occasionally and never indulging excessively night after night.

However, in Lu Changsheng’s case, to have fathered eleven children in just over half a year was clearly overindulgence.

Sister Miaoge, Lu Miaoge, pursed her lips and remained silent.

But in her eyes, a faint sense of disappointment was visible.

In her view, if Lu Changsheng were willing to focus on cultivation and the Talisman Path, there would be hope for success in Foundation Establishment after becoming a Second Grade Talisman Master.

She had also discussed these matters with Lu Changsheng before.

But seeing Lu Changsheng bring Guan Xin to Nine Dragons Market, and now with so many maids and concubines, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

She knew that Lu Changsheng hadn’t taken her words to heart.

“Yes, Second Elder, these are all my newly taken maids and concubines, carrying my children,”

Lu Changsheng replied, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He himself knew that in this world, as a cultivator, creating eleven children in just over half a year was relatively excessive.

Although he hadn’t felt this in his daily life, nor did he find it embarrassing,

being questioned by the Second Elder brought up some embarrassment after all.

After all, the latter was an elder to him.

Especially with Lu Miaoge also present.

“Ah,”

the Second Elder sighed upon hearing this, shaking his head.

At that moment, he gained a deeper understanding of Lu Changsheng’s reputation at Qingzhu Mountain for marrying and indulging in the pleasure of many wives and concubines.

He coughed lightly and then said to Lu Changsheng, “Changsheng, the allure of beauty can be like wolves and tigers, eroding one’s resolve. It is natural to occasionally enjoy and relax,

but do not indulge too much in this, and instead, focus your time and energy on cultivation and the Talisman Path.”

The Second Elder spoke earnestly.

Such matters, while outrageous, were a bit excessive.
