Chapter 21: Three-Year Agreement!
Amidst the mundane and tedious life of cultivation, talisman making, and spell practice, over a month has passed again.
Lu Changsheng’s second concubine was pregnant with their second child.
At the same time, the ninth child was born.
There was still no sign of the spiritual roots stirring, which meant there was no spiritual root.
On the second day after the ninth child was born, Lu Changsheng received a letter.
He was a little surprised to see it.
It had actually been sent by Hong Yi, with whom he had attended the Immortal Sect’s examination in the past.
The letter began with simple greetings, followed by an inquiry as to whether Lu Changsheng remembered their three-year agreement from earlier.
It had been over two years since they parted ways in the Blue Cloud Sect.
Hong Yi hopes that Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu will also be able to meet again.
It was also mentioned that Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing and Han Lin have all agreed to meet.
“The three-year agreement.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the contents of the letter with narrowed eyes.
This three-year agreement was a joke proposed by Hong Yi when the six of them were escorted to the Blue Cloud Sect.
It was agreed that regardless of whether they joined the Immortal Sect at that time, after three years, they would gather at the largest restaurant in Ruyi County, the ‘Ruyi Tower’.
If it hadn’t been for Hong Yi’s letter, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t have remembered it at all, thinking it was just a joke.
He hadn’t expected Hong Yi to actually mention it in the letter.
And it said that Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing and Han Lin would also be coming.
“There’s still about half a year left. Should I go or not?”
Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart.
On the way to Qingzhu Mountain, the Chen family’s sudden attack had left him somewhat traumatised.
He felt that the cultivation world was too dangerous, and he was reluctant to leave the Lu Family so easily.
However, when he heard that Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing and Han Lin would also be attending this gathering, he felt a slight inclination to accept the invitation.
As the saying goes, “more friends, more paths”.
All three of them were disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect. If he could maintain this relationship, it might prove beneficial in the future.
Although he didn’t know Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing very well, his relationship with Han Lin had been good to begin with.
“This appointment will also give me the opportunity to dispose of the talismans I’ve accumulated over the years and purchase materials to draw high-quality and high-ranking talismans.”
“With the talisman treasures I have, as long as I don’t run into any Foundation Establishment level cultivators, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
“Besides, I’ve been cultivating away from home for three years, so it’s time to return.”
After some thought, Lu Changsheng decided to go.
Apart from the appointment, there were other things to attend to, and he also had some worldly matters to attend to.
“Now that I’ve received the letter, Feiyu should have received one as well,” Lu Changsheng thought.
Then he left and went to the Qingzhu Mountain Villa to see how Li Feiyu planned to proceed.
It was best to travel together and be safe.
Lu Changsheng didn’t go straight to Li Feiyu’s house.
Instead, he went to Bai Bao Pavilion and greeted the shopkeeper.
If it hadn’t been for the shopkeeper of Bai Bao Pavilion, his talents in making talismans wouldn’t have been so well known to the high-ranking members of the Lu family. So he came to express his gratitude.
Besides, he was currently dependent on the Lu family. It wouldn’t hurt to maintain good relations with them and make a good impression.
After all, cultivation wasn’t just about training and fighting, it was also about interpersonal relationships.
The shopkeeper of Bai Bao Pavilion was happy to see Lu Changsheng visiting the Qingzhu Mountain Villa and came over with a happy expression.
At first he helped Lu Changsheng out of self-interest.
Since Lu Changsheng, this young man, had a good talent for making talismans and was a decent person, he could be employed by the Lu family.
But Lu Changsheng’s behaviour added a few more points of goodwill in his heart.
He felt that this young man was indeed quite good.
After that, Lu Changsheng bought some medicine strengthening the body and cultivating the body from the Bai Bao Pavilion as a gift, and took it to Li Feiyu’s house.
He now had ten Spirit Stones per month, while Li Feiyu only had two.
If he supported the latter directly, the other party wouldn’t accept it.
He couldn’t do that either.
Not to mention that he wasn’t wealthy enough to do so, and if he did, the relationship between the two of them would be strained as well.
Now, to come over and bring some things was just right.
Carrying the items, Lu Changsheng arrived at Li Feiyu’s house.
“You came, but why did you bring things?”
Li Feiyu was a little surprised to see Lu Changsheng come over.
“It’s not like we’re neighbours dropping by, it’s normal to come over and bring something nice.”
“And sister-in-law is due in two months, these are all things to nourish her body.”
Lu Changsheng said casually.
He and Li Feiyu were the same age, but Li Feiyu was a few months older than him, so he also referred to Li Feiyu’s wife as sister-in-law.
“All right, then I won’t be polite.”
Hearing this, Li Feiyu didn’t hesitate and accepted directly.
“You also received Hong Yi’s letter, right?”
In the hall, Li Feiyu brewed a pot of tea, guessed Lu Changsheng’s intentions, and spoke.
“Yes. I just saw the letter and thought, since Han Lin and the others are going, I’ll make a trip too, to gather and catch up.”
“And it’s been so long since I’ve been home, I also need to go back and settle some things, so I came to ask what you think.”
Lu Changsheng said directly.
“My thoughts are the same as yours.”
Li Feiyu nodded.
“Alright, let’s go together then. We still have half a year to go, so let’s leave about a month in advance,” he said.
“After all, the journey from Qingzhu Mountain to Ruyi County is quite long,” Lu Changsheng remarked.
“No problem, I don’t usually have much to do. Just call me when it’s time for you to leave,” Li Feiyu replied.
The two of them chatted for a while before Lu Changsheng left Li Feiyu’s house after lunch.
…
Time flew, and another half month passed.
One day, Lu Changsheng’s tenth child was born.
This child, like the others before him, had no spiritual roots.
However, at the moment of this child’s birth, a system prompt sounded.
【Congratulations, host, on reaching ten offspring. You have earned a chance at the Lucky Draw!】
“As expected!” Lu Changsheng’s heart leapt with joy as he heard the system prompt and thought to himself.
He had previously speculated that when the number of milestones reached a certain amount, it would trigger a reward.
The first number was one, and it was very likely that the second number would be ten.
“I wonder if the next milestone will be twenty, fifty, or maybe even a hundred,” Lu Changsheng thought silently.
Without further ado, Lu Changsheng went to visit the child.
It was a girl, incredibly beautiful.
After visiting his wives and children, Lu Changsheng returned to his study to begin his fourth lucky draw.
“System, I want to draw a lottery,”
Lu Changsheng silently intoned.
Immediately, a faint red virtual wheel appeared in front of his eyes.
Lu Changsheng looked at the familiar wheel, took a deep breath and prayed in his heart.
“I hope to get a cultivation technique.”
His current cultivation technique belongs to the most basic mass cultivation technique.
The advantage is that it’s stable and smooth to cultivate, with minimal problems during the process.
But the disadvantage is the same: it’s too conservative, which results in very slow spiritual energy absorption.
He didn’t feel much of a difference when he was in Qingzhu Mountain before.
Now that he is in Qingzhu Valley, cultivating at the second level of Spirit Vain, this feeling was very obvious.
So Lu Changsheng thought that if he could draw a cultivation technique, this situation would improve.
After all, even if the system is biased, it should at least provide a decent side-door level cultivation technique, right?
“Let’s start the draw!”
Lu Changsheng breathes out and says.
Immediately, a golden light began to spin on the pale red wheel.
After five seconds, the roulette slows down.
Under Lu Changsheng’s nervous and expectant gaze, the golden light stopped at ‘Pet Beast’.
