Chapter 213: Chapter 114: Lottery Draw for 70 Kids, Profound Origin Bead!_2
Watching Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge leave side by side, looking like a golden boy and jade girl, Zhang Shan couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
He always felt that today, the two bosses seemed to have become much closer, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on where.
Regarding this, he didn’t pay much attention, as it was none of his business.
…
Eastern District, Lu Family’s large courtyard.
“Miaoge, I’m glad you’re all right.”
“Changsheng, I owe you a great debt this time. Rest assured, I will report this to the family and apply for a reward for you,”
the Second Elder said upon seeing the somewhat pale faces of Lu Miaoge and Lu Changsheng.
He couldn’t help but inwardly remark that indeed, as the old ancestor had said, Lu Changsheng was a person of great destiny and had opportunities at his disposal.
If it weren’t for Lu Changsheng this time, perhaps Lu Miaoge would have been in danger.
Lu Miaoge was not only talented but also a high-quality Talisman Master.
If something had actually happened to her, it would have been adding frost to snow for the Lu Family’s current situation.
“You flatter me, Second Elder, this is what I should do,”
Lu Changsheng said with a bow.
Soon after, the Second Elder also expressed that he had already sent a message back to the Lu Family.
Moreover, he would ask the Enforcement Team of the Nine Dragons Market to investigate the perpetrator behind the scenes.
If an ordinary Loose Cultivator died, they’d be dead; no one would know or care.
But Lu Miaoge, as a descendant of the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain,
having encountered an assassination near the Nine Dragons Market and returning to the Marketplace severely wounded, the Marketplace would have to give an explanation.
After all, such an incident would also reflect poorly on the Marketplace itself.
Most Cultivators come to the Marketplace seeking stability.
If there are such bold Robber Cultivators who even ambush the descendants of Cultivation Families, it would naturally cause Loose Cultivators to feel uneasy and affect the Marketplace’s traffic.
Meanwhile.
In an inn at the Nine Dragons Market,
“How could you fail at such a simple task?”
“Four of you, and yet you still couldn’t kill a Seventh Level Energy Refinement Cultivator!”
Third Young Master of the Yu Family, Yu Ningyuan, said to the four people before him, his face dark with anger.
“Third Young Master, Lu Miaoge survived by using Talismans to escape near the Marketplace, so we didn’t dare continue the pursuit,”
“And she had been hit by my Black Fiend Slash, with her life force beginning to fade, so her death seemed certain. I have no idea how she managed to survive!”
A stocky middle-aged man said while bowing.
He also couldn’t understand how Lu Miaoge had managed to survive.
“Hmph, a bunch of useless trash!”
The Third Young Master of the Yu Family huffed coldly.
He came here not only to poach Lu Changsheng,
but also had other motives.
That was to eliminate Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, and several other Lu Family disciples as much as possible.
Not only could it severely damage the vitality of the Lu Family, but it would also infuriate them.
When these things came to light, the Lu Family would immediately suspect the Chen Family.
The Lu Family was already like a trapped beast, constantly in friction with the Chen Family.
Once these incidents emerged, the conflict would explode, leading to an all-out confrontation with the Chen Family.
But he hadn’t expected that the four people he had arranged failed to kill Lu Miaoge, a Seventh Level Energy Refinement Cultivator.
And now that this incident had occurred, the Lu Family members would surely be on guard, making it harder to find another opportunity.
…
“System!”
After Lu Changsheng returned home,
he murmured inwardly and opened the system interface.
[Name: Lu Changsheng]
[Status: Son-in-law of Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain]
[Cultivation Level: Seventh Level Energy Refinement]
[Lifespan: 27/155]
[Talent: Sixth Grade Spiritual Root]
[Cultivation Techniques: Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture]
[Spells: Flame Bullet Technique, Wind Control Skill, Object Manipulating Technique, Aura Concealment Technique, Spiritual Eye Technique, Sound Transmitting Technique…]
[Skills: Talisman Making (Second Rank), Puppet (Second Rank)]
[Spiritual Pets: Nine Netherhound, Peach Blossom Gu]
[Offspring: 68/81 (View Details)]
“One hundred fifty-five, which means, saving that person cost me eight years of my lifespan,”
Lu Changsheng murmured as he checked his lifespan through the system.
He knew that saving someone using the Life Transference Technique and the Nirvana Art had cost him his own lifespan,
but didn’t know exactly how many years had been consumed.
Now, seeing it on the system interface gave him a clear understanding.
“It seems that I really can’t do this too often, otherwise no amount of lifespan would be enough,”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but exhale deeply.
However, he wasn’t overly concerned.
Mainly because he was still young and had a lot of lifespan left, so he wasn’t in a rush.
“Already 68 children, I wonder if at 70 the system will give any more Child Money?”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
Given the current situation of the Lu Family, the urgency to improve his strength had intensified.
But to enhance one’s strength—apart from relying on time to cultivate—the fastest method was through opportunities.
While others obtained chances through exploring relics and antecedents’ caves,
he naturally relied on having children and then receiving Child Money from the system.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
Third floor of the Spiritual Talisman Shop.
On the table and chairs beside the bed lay neatly folded white swirling dresses, white undergarments, plain lotus bellybands, belts, and blue-green bamboo leaf robes…
“Changsheng, I’ll leave the shop in your care.”
Lu Miaoge, no longer paler, looked fresh and radiant; her graceful, alluring figure lay in Lu Changsheng’s arms as she softly spoke.
When it came to matters of men and women, there was a first time, a second time, a third time…
At first, Lu Miaoge was somewhat reserved.
But after Lu Changsheng suggested dual cultivation for healing, which led to the second and third times, she gradually loosened up.
This time, however, she was about to leave, returning to Qingzhu Mountain.
So the two of them spent the whole night healing in the Spiritual Talisman Shop.
“Okay, I’ll take care of the shop,”
Lu Changsheng nodded in reply.
But in truth, he felt a bit helpless.
He had originally planned to return to Qingzhu Mountain with the Second Elder.
However, Lu Miaoge had to go back because of the assassination attempt,
so he was left to hold the fort here.
