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

Chapter 228: Chapter 119: The New Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, To Battle!_1
“To be caught by the Family Head, that’s really…”

As Lu Changsheng walked back, he thought about how he had just been held by Lu Miaohuan when Lu Yuanding appeared, and he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

However, he didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

Nowadays, the Second Miss’s temperament has also improved somewhat.

Lu Changsheng was also somewhat confident that he could handle the Second Miss.

In such a situation, he could also consider taking the Second Miss back to his family.

So, being seen was just being seen.

He would just treat it as giving his future father-in-law some mental preparation in advance.

“Speaking of which, should I let the Family Head unintentionally see me with the eldest miss someday, to give him a bit of mental preparation?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think to himself.

But as soon as the thought arose, he felt it was better to put it on hold for now.

Otherwise, he was really afraid that Lu Yuanding would chop him up with a sword.

After all, no father could stand it if one man snatched away both daughters he had raised.

“But, there’s still a long way to go.”

Thinking of the eldest miss’s current situation, Lu Changsheng shook his head.

It seemed that taking both sisters back to his family wouldn’t be so simple.

There’s a saying: Let things flow naturally when the boat reaches the pier, so Lu Changsheng didn’t think much about it and went home.

In the following days, Lu Changsheng still spent his days cultivating, making talismans, and spending time with his wives and concubines.

In his spare time, he also used his skills in puppetry to create simple wooden oxen and horses, mechanical men, and mechanical beasts as toys for the children.

This was also a way to let people know that he had dabbled into some puppetry skills.

Seeing the children’s love for the toys made with puppetry, Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of a saying.

Interest is the best teacher for a child.

He then thought he could perhaps stimulate the children’s interest in puppetry through this approach.

If the children had some talent in puppetry, they could then be trained towards becoming puppet masters.

Although puppetry wasn’t as esteemed as other skills like alchemy, formation, equipment, and talisman making,

it was nevertheless considered a decent skill.

And for children without a Spiritual Root, having some knowledge in puppetry,

when venturing into the mortal world, would certainly be a useful skill.

They could create things like wooden oxen and horses, wooden birds, mechanical beasts, armillary spheres, earthquake instruments, among other mechanisms.

Straightaway, whenever Lu Changsheng had free time, he would work with the children to create some simple mechanical toys.

And he would explain some knowledge related to puppetry.

…

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

During these times, Lu Family disciples continually returned to Qingzhu Mountain.

Lu Changsheng heard from Lu Miaoyun that quite a few Lu Family disciples had been attacked and killed on their way back.

Moreover, due to the summoning of the family’s disciples, many of the Lu Family’s territories had been encroached upon by the Chen Family.

Like the Spirit Stone mine that was contested between the Lu Family and the Chen Family, it was now under the control of the Chen Family.

During this period, some of the Lu Family’s guest elders also chose to leave the family.

Lu Changsheng saw all this happen and knew it was inevitable.

After all, to most people, in the current struggle between the Lu Family and the Chen Family, it was clear that the Chen Family had the upper hand.

Once the Lu Family Ancestor died, the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain would essentially be extinct in name and in reality.

As an ordinary guest elder, it was natural not to want to share in the family’s resources and rise or fall with the Lu Family.

If he wasn’t so deeply tied to the Lu Family with so many wives and children, even Lu Changsheng would choose to leave.

But Lu Changsheng always felt that this wave of summoning all the clan members back wasn’t so simple.

Otherwise, he really couldn’t understand what was the point of gathering all the clan members.

It certainly wasn’t just to defend Qingzhu Mountain.

Or to fight a decisive battle with the Chen Family, right?

This kind of act was completely against the logic of the Cultivation World.

There’s a saying: If you preserve the people but lose the land, both will eventually be lost; if you preserve the land but lose the people, both will eventually be preserved.

For a Cultivation Family like the Lu Family, what should be done at this time is to preserve their strength.

Wait for a new Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator to emerge.

Not to defend Qingzhu Mountain or struggle for immediate benefits, potentially sacrificing the entire family.

…

Before he knew it, three months had passed.

Because of the current situation of the Lu Family, and the need to consider fleeing with his wives and children at any moment, Lu Changsheng did not let his wives and maids conceive during these times.

After all, it would be quite troublesome if the Lu Family crisis happened just as a child was being born.

Or if his wives were all pregnant at that time.

Thinking that the situation of the Lu Family would last for some time, Lu Changsheng decided to postpone having more children for a while.

And he let his wives and maids have a good rest.

The absence of new births for such a long time,

made Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and the other wives feel that something wasn’t right and they asked Lu Changsheng what was going on.

If not for the fact that Lu Changsheng was still vigorous and passionate every night, it would be difficult for him to explain.

On this day,

Lu Bo came to Lu Changsheng’s residence.

He said that the Family Head had summoned all Lu Family disciples to gather at the central plaza of Qingzhu Mountain.

“All Lu Family disciples gathering?”

“Lu Bo, has something happened?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

He had been in Qingzhu Mountain for ten years now.

He had never encountered such an event.

He couldn’t help but speculate whether the Lu Family was preparing for a major battle with the Chen Family or planning a mass relocation away from Qingzhu Mountain.

“I’m not sure about the details, I’m just relaying the message, you’ll know once you get there,” Lu Bo said.

“Alright.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng didn’t ask any further questions.

He walked towards the central plaza of Qingzhu Mountain with Lu Miaohuan.

Upon arrival at the central plaza, Lu Changsheng saw the many Lu Family Disciples and guest elders gathered there.
