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

"It's often said that you can know someone's face but not their heart; who knows, this person could very well be that Purple-Robed Hermit."

Lu Changsheng casually remarked upon hearing this.

It wasn't that he harbored ill intentions.

Having been in the Cultivation World for so long, he had become all too familiar with such matters.

After all, no Robber Cultivator would go around looking like a fierce and malevolent spirit all the time.

It's possible they even cultivate a good reputation and goodwill, to facilitate their clandestine Robber Cultivator activities.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"It's very possible because, although this Purple-Robed Hermit is seldom known for betraying his companions, his frequent exploration of Secret Realms has still led to many Cultivators facing dangers."

"Yet, every time he manages to return from the brink of disaster, even making modest gains that others envy," Ling Zixiao added with a slight smile.

The two chatted idly while sorting through the Storage Bags.

After a while, they had accounted for the belongings of the five Robber Cultivators, including their Storage Bags and Magic Artifacts.

Among them were two hundred and nineteen Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

And forty-eight thousand three hundred and seventy-five Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

One top-tier Spiritual Artifact, two high-tier Spiritual Artifacts, two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts, five low-tier Spiritual Artifacts, and seven top-tier Magic Artifacts.

However, half of these Spiritual and Magic Artifacts had sustained severe damage.

The most precious top-tier Spiritual Artifact was also somewhat damaged, which meant its value would be greatly reduced if sold.

Aside from that, there were over twenty bottles of Second Rank Spirit Pills, sixteen Second Rank Spirit Talismans, and dozens of other Second Rank Spiritual Medicines, Spiritual Woods, Ore Stones, and other treasures; as well as three Cultivation Techniques.

"Purple True Solar Scripture, looks like this chap is indeed the 'Purple-Robed True Immortal,'" Ling Zixiao declared, spotting the Exquisite Level Cultivation Method among the three Techniques.

She guessed that the purple-faced man leading the Robber Cultivators was most likely the Purple-Robed Hermit.

"However, if this man is really a Robber Cultivator, to have amassed only this much wealth after lurking in Jiuxiao Immortal City for so many years, he's quite poor," Lu Changsheng clicked his tongue and said.

"It's actually not a small amount; these Spirit Stones, Spiritual Artifacts, and Spiritual Materials, plus the Talisman Treasures and the Seeking Spirit Mouse, it all adds up to almost 170,000 to 180,000 Spirit Stones," Ling Zixiao replied, unsure whether to comment on Lu Changsheng's wealth or to say something else.

After all, for most Foundation Establishment Cultivators, their entire net worth would be around twenty or thirty thousand Spirit Stones.

The spoils from these five Robber Cultivators, even after accounting for the damaged Spiritual Artifacts, amounted to a considerable wealth of 170,000 to 180,000 Spirit Stones.

"That's true," Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

He felt he had indeed been too lavish with his spending.

His idea of consumption had far surpassed that of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Moreover, he hadn't included the Bronze Spear and the Seeking Spirit Mouse in his tally of gains earlier.

Considering the men had only that many Spirit Stones, he thought their wealth quite ordinary.

After all, he had just spent forty to fifty thousand Spirit Stones on a Talisman Formation.

"With these Spirit Stones, I should have almost enough money to purchase a Spiritual Land when I get back," Lu Changsheng mused, feeling somewhat relieved.

After allowing Ling Zixiao to pick a few items, he carefully sorted the categorized spoils into his own Storage Bag.

Seven days into their journey, as night fell, Lu Changsheng spotted a secular city in the distance.

He immediately directed the Spirit Boat towards the city, taking Ling Zixiao with him to rest and refine the Dragon Roar of Yang Energy within her body.

Meanwhile,

At the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain,

Under the cover of night, Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding donned black robes and quietly left Qingzhu Mountain without a sound.

Only after traveling several dozen miles away from Qingzhu Mountain did they release their Spirit Boat.

They flew rapidly toward Qingyun Sect on their Spirit Boat.

Though Qingyun Sect had forbidden inter-clan strife during this period,

such matters would remain unchecked as long as they were not overly excessive.

Therefore, their trip to Qingyun Sect to exchange for Foundation Establishment Elixirs and Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects had to be conducted with utmost caution.

This was to avoid internal leaks within the Family, which could alert others and lead to attacks on Qingzhu Mountain or interception of the two men.
