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

After all, in such circumstances, he truly dared not consider himself equal to Lu Changsheng.

"Didn’t you say that there would be a substantial gift for me afterwards if I took action?"

"Now that I have eliminated two Robber Cultivators for your market, the substantial gift should be presented, right?"

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and dismissed the idea of slaying the Patriarch of the Yu Family.

One reason was that killing him would lead to chaos in the market.

Moreover, the four major families, aside from the Yu Family that had two Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators able to station one at the Red Leaf Valley Market,

the other families didn’t have any spare Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

If he were to kill the Yu Family Elder in front of him, the patriarchs of the four major families would probably have to rotate to oversee the market, which would also affect the Lu Family.

Furthermore, with his current strength, he did not fear whatever the Yu Family might do.

When the time came to settle scores, whether they had this Yu Family Elder or not wouldn’t make much of a difference to him.

"Yes, yes, that’s only natural,"

the Patriarch of the Yu Family said with a sigh of relief in his heart upon hearing Lu Changsheng talk this way, and hurriedly added.

Knowing that the other party wouldn’t act against him.

But hearing Lu Changsheng mention the "substantial gift," he felt somewhat distressed and apprehensive.

He didn’t know how much of a substantial gift would be sufficient to satisfy the menacing figure before him.

"Senior, please wait a moment. I will prepare your gift right away,"

the Yu Family Elder said through gritted teeth.

He knew that a heavy loss was inevitable.

If worse came to worst, he could have the four major families chip in for this expense later on.

"You have a quarter of an hour. I’ll give you fifteen minutes,"

"During this time, I’ll keep an eye on the Robber Cultivators in the market for you," said Lu Changsheng indifferently.

"Yes, thank you, Senior, please wait a moment,"

Yu Yuanshan replied, not daring to delay.

He immediately transformed into a streak of Escape Light and departed to return to his cave dwelling and shop to prepare the substantial gift.

In the meantime, Lu Changsheng had also moved to another location where he took out his Spiritual Pet Bag and collected the carcass of the Green Wolf, a Second Rank Demon Beast he had just slain.

A Demon Beast’s body was a treasure trove.

It could be used not only in Talisman Making and Alchemy, and for forging Magic Artifacts, but also its tendons and bones could serve as the main body for constructing beast-shaped Puppets.

Such a Second Rank Demon Beast, even just selling its materials, could fetch several thousand Spirit Stones, and he naturally wouldn’t waste it.

"Xi Yue, you go back first,"

After finishing all this, Lu Changsheng transmitted his Divine Sense to Xiao Xiyue, telling her to return to the cave dwelling to rest in peace.

Immediately, he stood beneath the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp with his arms crossed and patrolled above the marketplace.

Whenever he detected the scent of blood or hidden Robber Cultivators, the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp would shed strands of Sword Qi, bringing their lives to an end.

In a short while, Lu Changsheng had slain eight Robber Cultivators, gaining a modest harvest.

"Senior, this is the gift prepared by our marketplace for you, a modest token of our regard. Please accept it."

By this time, the Yu Family Elder had returned, offering up three Storage Bags.

Lu Changsheng took the Storage Bags and glanced inside.

The first Storage Bag contained Spirit Stones, approximately ten thousand of them.

The second Storage Bag held various items such as Talismans, Elixir Medicines, and assorted Spiritual Materials.

In the third Storage Bag, there were several Glazed Porcelain Vases and embroidered boxes, which held relatively precious and rare Elixir Medicines and treasures.

Lu Changsheng estimated the total value to be about thirty thousand Spirit Stones.

The amount of Spirit Stones was not considered a lot.

But for the financial situation of the Yu Family, it was already a very sincere gesture.

"Alright, I accept your gesture. Farewell."

Lu Changsheng nodded and, without saying much more, transformed into a streak of light, arriving at the place where the burly man had fallen.

He struck at the weakest point of the Formation with a sword, creating a crack, then left the market and disappeared into the night.

"Phew!"

Seeing Lu Changsheng depart, the Elder Yu released a deep breath of relief.

Although the presence of such a Great Cultivator made the market much safer,

Lu Changsheng’s recent demonstration made him appear as a harbinger of death in the Elder’s eyes, someone he truly didn’t dare get too close to.

Afterward, he commanded the Market Enforcement Team, "Now, everyone secure the market and start patrolling for Robber Cultivators and assessing the losses from just now!"
