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

Although she hadn’t specified what the opportunity was, he could guess its nature.

However, Lu Changsheng had no such intentions in his heart.

He, Lu Changsheng, had reached this point through his tireless efforts, day and night.

Why would he cling to someone’s coattails or live off others?

Moreover, he was aware that, as a Nascent Soul Immortal, she would definitely not bear his children.

In such a case, one couldn’t be as comfortable as when at home, with a wife and children around a warm stove.

No, what’s sweeter is living off one’s own efforts, step by step.

“System.”

Watching Xiao Xiyue still meditating with her eyes closed, Lu Changsheng silently uttered in his mind.

A system interface appeared before his eyes.

“Lifespan has increased by a hundred and nine years.”

“Is it because of the Perfect Foundation Base?”

Lu Changsheng examined the changes in his lifespan record.

Normally, breaking through from Energy Refinement to Foundation Establishment increases ones lifespan by a hundred years.

This lifespan can fluctuate according to the cultivation method practiced or the condition of the body.

For someone like him, practicing a sword scripture and having increased his lifespan by a hundred and nine years upon breaking through to Foundation Establishment, is already quite exceptional.

“At the age of thirty-two, although not the pinnacle, Foundation Establishment is still the first step on the ladder.”

“However, I should still keep my cultivation level hidden from the public eye as much as possible and bide my time for some years.”

“Otherwise, as a mere Ninth Grade Spiritual Root son-in-law of the Lu Family, having reached Foundation Establishment at thirty-two, I will surely attract the wrong kind of attention and trouble.”

Lu Changsheng murmured to himself, considering his current age.

In the cultivation world, there’s never a shortage of lucky ones who get an opportunity and manage to reach Foundation Establishment by chance.

However, such lucky ones do not necessarily continue to be fortunate.

Once his cultivation level is exposed, there’s a high chance of attracting trouble.

Therefore, unless necessary, Lu Changsheng plans to maintain the appearance of an Energy Refining Cultivator.

“Regarding children, I’ve fallen behind over the years; I need to catch up earnestly now.”

Lu Changsheng then turned his attention to his offspring record.

In the last few years, due to various reasons such as outstanding childbirth and Xiao Xiyue’s cultivation, childbearing was delayed, increasing the count by only eleven children.

“And my children are growing up and need to start cultivating, so I should really focus on that.”

Lu Changsheng thought about his eldest son, Lu Xianzhi, who had already completed taking in Qi.

Initially, he had put some thought into Lu Xianzhi.

But as the number of children increased and he became busier, he barely provided guidance.

For instance, he wouldn’t have known about Lu Xianzhi completing the Qi intake if not for the system notification.

With a thought, Lu Xianzhi’s information appeared.

[Name: Lu Xianzhi]

[Lifespan: 12/89]

[Talent: Ninth Grade Spiritual Root]

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refinement First Layer]

“Alas, Ninth Grade Spiritual Root.”

Lu Changsheng sighed softly upon seeing his son’s spiritual root grade.

As someone who had risen from a Ninth Grade to a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, he understood the gap between the different grades of Spiritual Roots only too well.

His son, without significant opportunities, had little chance past Energy Refinement Late Stage.

“But being my son is a great opportunity in itself.”

“Once I possess the strength to establish my own Family Spirit Land, with the Heavenly Longevity Technique, even Core Formation or Nascent Soul stages are within reach.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly.

He again considered the matter of establishing his own family.

Having spent so many years on Qingzhu Mountain, and with a wife and children, he certainly felt somewhat at home there.

Indeed, he counted Qingzhu Mountain as half his home.

However, he never ceased to consider establishing his own cultivation family independently.

After all, Lu Changsheng never truly considered himself entirely a part of the Lu Family; he merely saw Qingzhu Mountain as half his home.

Therefore, his children, as per his arrangements, hadn’t completely integrated into the Lu Family either.

Because Lu Changsheng was acutely aware.

That in the future, he and his children were destined to walk a path different from the Lu Family’s.

If he remained with the Lu Family, as his strength increased, he would probably become the Lu Family Ancestor and take control of the family.

But Lu Changsheng had no such wish.

Becoming the Lu Family Ancestor and taking charge would mean assuming a responsibility.

And he didn’t want to shoulder that responsibility.

His own children, he was willing to put in the effort, energy, and resources to cultivate each one of them.

Even if they had Ninth Grade Spiritual Roots, he was willing to spend the time, energy, and resources.

But he couldn’t possibly do the same for the Lu Family disciples.

And if he stayed with the Lu Family, becoming their ancestor, he couldn’t simply ignore family matters.

So, in Lu Changsheng’s view, taking his children to establish their own family clan was the best choice.

He wouldn’t forget about the Lu Family either; once capable, he would provide whatever assistance he could afford to help them.

After all, a favor of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water.

Moreover, considering his current relationship with the Lu Family, it was impossible for him to sever ties completely.
