Chapter 193: Chapter 108: Father’s Friend!_4
At this moment, Hong Yi felt immensely fortunate for the decision he had made back then.
Fortunate that he made a three-year agreement, inviting Lu Changsheng, and that he had maintained their relationship, building a good rapport.
It was simply the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.
“Just sheer luck, I’ve only just begun trying, and it’s very difficult to succeed,”
said Lu Changsheng with a smile as he waved his hand dismissively.
But Hong Yi was still so shocked that he was at a loss for words.
Finally swallowing hard, he spoke with deep emotion, “Brother Lu’s talent on the Talisman Path is truly exceptional, in the future, you might even become a Second Grade Talisman Master.”
“I never thought I, Hong Yi, could befriend a Second Grade Talisman Master, what a great fortune across three lifetimes!”
“But this talisman is too precious, Brother Lu, you should take it back,”
Hong Yi said reluctantly.
A single Superior Grade Talisman would cost at least thirty Spirit Stones.
These three talismans represented a huge sum for him, too precious indeed.
“There’s no reason to take back something once given,”
“Brother Hong, just keep it. In the future, when I send my children to the secular world, I will need to rely on Brother Hong’s attention to them.”
To him, the cost price of three Superior Grade Talismans was merely about ten Spirit Stones.
Not so precious after all.
“Alright then, I shall not refuse such generous offer,”
Hong Yi said, cupping his hands together in gratitude.
Then he added solemnly, “Brother Lu, rest assured, in the future, your nephews and nieces in the secular world will be under my watchful eye, Hong Yi. They won’t lose a single hair, or else you can hold me, Hong Yi, to account!”
Now that Lu Changsheng had revealed his status as a Superior Grade Talisman Master,
once Lu Changsheng placed his children in the Ruyi Marquis Mansion, it would show that their relationship was rock-solid.
By then, his father, the Ruyi Marquis, could not ignore the significance of Lu Changsheng, the Superior Grade Talisman Master.
He would think to befriend Lu Changsheng and build a good relationship with the Superior Grade Talisman Master.
“Haha, Brother Hong, you’re too flattering,”
“I only hope that these children can live peacefully and joyfully,”
“without too many other considerations,”
said Lu Changsheng, shaking his head with a smile as he looked at Hong Yi.
Soon after, the two chatted and reminisced.
“Zhiyue, I will be leaving in a couple of days. If there’s anything, you can just send me a message,”
Lu Changsheng said to Xia Zhizue.
He hadn’t been in any rush to take Xia Zhizue back to Qingzhu Mountain.
It was still his original thought.
Let her take care of her younger brother in the secular world,
waiting for the Immortal Sects to recruit disciples.
As for having children, he hadn’t been in a rush either.
He planned to go back first to inquire and understand her constitution,
whether it was the Spirit Nurturing Physique he thought of.
Xia Zhizue leaned against him lazily, responding faintly.
“The Spirit Nurturing Physique can greatly increase the chance that the offspring it bears will have a Spiritual Root,”
“but each childbirth will cause substantial harm to the mother’s vital energy.”
“This physique can also forcibly consume one’s own Cultivation Origin Source to nurture the fetus, enhancing the child’s Spiritual Root potential,”
Lu Changsheng read from a book that detailed descriptions of the Spirit Nurturing Physique.
“Zhiyue said her mother died shortly after giving birth to Xia Zhaoyang,”
“Having a Spirit Nurturing Physique means possessing a Spiritual Root, being a cultivator.”
“Cultivators rarely experience difficult labors or deaths during childbirth,”
“Could it be that Xia Zhaoyang is the child her mother sacrificed her own Cultivation Origin Source to bear?”
“Is this the reason why Xia Long dotes on and values this son a hundred times more?”
Lu Changsheng murmured to himself, speculating.
“If that’s the case, it seems that having children shouldn’t be taken lightly.”
“Xia Zhizue is still too physically weak now, her cultivation level too low; if she were to have more children, it could pose serious problems.”
Lu Changsheng exhaled softly.
