Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Is Lu Changsheng Taking Another Concubine Again?_1

Translator: 549690339

“Brother Lu, I have heard from Brother Li that you have no other hobbies; you only love beauties throughout your life,”

“Therefore, I have specially prepared two beauties for you on this trip.”

“I have paid a considerable price to buy these two from the White Jade Tower.”

“You can rest assured, Brother Lu, both are pure and untouched by anyone.”

“Moreover, under the tutelage of the White Jade Tower, both have cultivated the Charming Lady Elemental Cultivation. Their elemental Yin can nourish and supplement Yang, and once deflowered, they will be completely loyal to you.”

At this moment, Hong Yi spoke up and said to Lu Changsheng, his face revealing a knowing look that all men understand.

Upon hearing Hong Yi’s words, Lu Changsheng’s mouth twitched.

What does he mean by only loving beauties throughout his life?

Am I someone who is indulged in lust for women?

I clearly have ambitions to reach the sky and pierce the clouds.

My ambition lies in attaining eternal life, to become an immortal, an ancestor!

To take a wife and bear children is merely to better survive in this world, to strive toward that goal.

“Sigh.”

This caused Lu Changsheng to sigh inwardly.

Feeling that no one in the world could understand him.

However, there was no helping it, as such sky-reaching and cloud-piercing ambitions must not be shown before others, nor could they be understood by everyone.

Hidden skill within awkwardness, the unclear is made clear by obscurity, purity hinted through murkiness, to bend as a means to extend!

One must endure, stay discreet, only then can one become an immortal among immortals!

Lu Changsheng looked at the two women in front of him, tall and proud, even taller than himself by a notch.

Though very tempting, Lu Changsheng did not really want to accept them.

After all, both women lacked a Spiritual Root.

Now, with ten wives and concubines, he thought that in taking more wives and concubines in the future, he should preferably follow a route of superior breeding.

That is, to find women with Spiritual Roots to bear his children.

Otherwise, if he continued like this, not only would the children born mostly lack Spiritual Roots, but it would also affect his daily cultivation.

However.

Since the people had already been brought over, he certainly couldn’t just send them back, right?

He didn’t want to refute Hong Yi’s good intentions and damage their relationship.

Furthermore, looking at the two women before him, he also wanted to challenge himself, to experience exotic styles.

After all, with so many temptations in this world, if I don’t properly temper myself now, how will I resist greater temptations in the future?

After pondering for a moment, Lu Changsheng said, “Brother Hong, did they come of their own free will?”

“You can rest assured, Brother Lu, both are orphans adopted by the White Jade Tower, raised from a young age, without any issues,”

“I, Hong Yi, would not do such atrocious acts that go against heaven and harm reason,”

Hong Yi naturally knew what Lu Changsheng meant by asking such a question.

“All right, if that’s the case, I will accept this gift, these two women,”

“But our friendship does not necessitate such actions, do not do this again in the future,”

Lu Changsheng said, nodding his head.

“Naturally, naturally, just this once, only this once,”

Hong Yi said with a smile, nodding his head.

Lu Changsheng, seeing Hong Yi’s smile, felt that the latter would probably do it again in the future.

“Brother Hong has traveled a long distance to come here, it would only be proper for me to invite you in for a cup of tea,”

“But it’s a great bother to bring foreign cultivators into Qingzhu Mountain,”

“So I won’t invite you inside as a guest. Next time we do business, you just come to a nearby city and send a message to me,”

Lu Changsheng spoke up, saying so.

It was fine for ordinary people to enter Qingzhu Mountain, but quite troublesome to bring external cultivators.

“I understand,”

Hong Yi nodded, completely understanding and not minding at all.

He said to Lu Changsheng, “However, I may not personally come the next time,”

“If it’s convenient for Brother Lu, you could prepare a batch of Talismans every few months; that way, I can send someone over and not worry too much,”

The reason he came personally this time, aside from it being their first transaction, was also due to the large number of Talismans involved, which made him somewhat uneasy.

“Fine, Brother Hong can send someone over every three months,”

“I can provide about thirty Talismans each time,”

Lu Changsheng said, pondering slightly.

This time, issuing a hundred talismans could be said to have accumulated over a long period.

But in the future, ten talismans per month would be about right.

Even if the Lu Family knew and watched, they would not say anything.

“Good, no problem,”

Hong Yi, hearing this, immediately showed a face full of joy.

Ten talismans each month was already quite good in his eyes.

“By the way, Brother Hong, I have another favor to ask of you,”

Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered something concerning his cheap brother-in-law, ‘Qu Changge’.

A year had passed, and there was still no news from the Crimson Whale Gang, making him feel that Qu Changge’s chances of being alive were slim.

But he still wanted to make an effort to search, to at least get some news, to give Qu Zhenzhen a response.

“What is it, Brother Lu, please tell me.”

Upon hearing this, Hong Yi revealed a somewhat serious look.

“I’d like to ask for your help in finding someone.”

Lu Changsheng said, sharing information about Qu Changge with Hong Yi.

He also mentioned Qu Zhenzhen’s situation, advising Hong Yi to be careful.

After all, the massacre of Qu Zhenzhen’s entire family might involve a cultivator.

Though he felt the cultivator in question probably wasn’t much of a threat, caution was still necessary.

“Brother Lu can rest assured, this matter will be handled by me.”

After listening, Hong Yi nodded and responded.

He didn’t view the matter as particularly troublesome or dangerous.

After all, the Ruyi Marquis Mansion held its own power within the secular world.

Facing a loose cultivator from the secular world, there was still some confidence to be had.

Moreover, camaraderie was something that needed to be fostered through frequent exchanges.

Now that Lu Changsheng was willing to sell talismans to him, it wouldn’t be a surprise if his connections expanded and other avenues opened up.

So, as long as it wasn’t too dangerous, he was willing to deepen his relationship with Lu Changsheng by interacting more.

“Then I’ll trouble you, Brother Hong.”

Lu Changsheng gave a slight bow.

Brother Lu is too polite, in that case, I won’t delay you further.”

“Next time, when there is time, I will invite Brother Lu and Brother Li to get together.”

Hong Yi also bowed slightly, ready to head back early.

“Have a smooth journey!”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Then he took the two women back with him to Qingzhu Mountain.

The disciples guarding Qingzhu Mountain saw Lu Changsheng bring back two sisters without saying much.

They just instructed him to report to Uncle Fu.

Shortly after, Lu Changsheng, accompanied by the two women, arrived at Qingzhu Villa to report to Uncle Fu.

Along the way, many Lu Family disciples saw them.

“Is Lu Changsheng about to take another concubine?”

“He’s already married ten, how could he still take concubines?”

“Sss, to say the truth, these two women are truly seductive!”

“By their appearance, they look a bit like people from the Western Region.”

“I read in ancient texts that some people from the Western Region claim to be descendants of gods and demons. Not only do they have different-colored pupils, but some also have horns on their heads, eyes in the center of their brows, and grow wings and tails.”

“What descendants of gods and demons, they’re just hybrids of human and demon. I heard from my grandfather that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of nations in the Western Region, many of which have humans and demons living together.”

“Suddenly I’m a bit envious of Lu Changsheng’s life.”

“The path of cultivation is hard; while we’re young, indulging in pleasures might not be such a bad choice.”

“How can you harbor such self-degrading thoughts! We are cultivators, devoted to our practice, how could we succumb to pleasures of the flesh!”

“Hmph, women, they will only slow down my cultivation!”

“That’s right, it is a choice of the weak, we cannot imitate him, woo woo woo…”

“Given our ordinary talents, if we choose to indulge, it’s giving up on ourselves. He may be carefree now, but in twenty or thirty years, he’ll surely regret it!”

The Lu Family disciples spoke out, their tones mixing envy, jealousy, resentment, and scorn.

Uncle Fu didn’t know what to say when he saw Lu Changsheng bringing back two more women from who knows where.

But seeing they were just secular women, he didn’t say much else, simply sighing about the advantages of youth, reminding Lu Changsheng to take care of his health and not to neglect important matters.

Still, he reminded Lu Changsheng not to keep bringing people in, as it would give a bad impression.

Lu Changsheng nodded in agreement to this.

In his heart, he thought it might be time to reveal that he was a Middle Grade First Grade Talisman Master.

Otherwise, continuing on this way, the Lu Family might soon take issue with his behavior.

After completing the report with Uncle Fu, Lu Changsheng made his way to Li Feiyu’s place to have a chat.

Not long after his last visit, Li Feiyu had broken through to the Third Level of Qi Refinement.

But now, the Lu Family was also pressuring him about having children.

Under these circumstances, Li Feiyu took four concubines, and now had three children, with two of the concubines currently pregnant.

During their conversation, Li Feiyu mentioned that the business of sending women was just a joke with Hong Yi, never expecting him to actually follow through.

He had examined the two women sent by Hong Yi and confirmed that the cultivation technique they practiced was the Cauldron Charm Technique.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be effects like nurturing the essence to replenish yang, remaining loyal after being deflowered.

The White Jade Tower was likely an organization focused on cultivating cauldrons for officials, nobles, and even cultivators.

For Hong Yi to send such a generous gift, he must have paid a hefty price.

After hearing Li Feiyu’s words, Lu Changsheng felt much more at ease about the two women.

He then took the two women back to their dwelling in Qingzhu Valley.

Seeing Lu Changsheng return with two enchanting foreign women, even the well-mannered and virtuous consorts in the back courtyard felt somewhat jealous, leaving Lu Changsheng with quite a task to soothe them.
