“Not to mention anything else, the opportunities this lad has had alone make our trip worthwhile,”
a thin, sallow-faced elder in a black robe cackled with laughter.
As the others chatted and conversed, a burst of cheerful laughter filled the hall.
Qingzhu Mountain, Qingzhu Hall.
“Changsheng, how about I go to the Red Leaf Valley Market to watch over things, and let Miaoge stay at home to hold the fort?”
Lu Yuanzhong suggested to Lu Changsheng.
“Uncle, there’s no need for that. With this Second Rank Communication Talisman and these three, if anything comes up, contact me immediately, and I will rush over as fast as I can,”
Though Lu Changsheng thought the proposal was good, after consideration, he still declined.
Let alone being affected by injuries, even in his prime, his strength was quite average.
Lu Miaoge might only be at the first layer of Foundation Establishment,
but with her practice of the Water of Virtue Technique and her perfect foundation base, her mana is powerful.
And with the Second Rank Talismans, Third Rank Talismans, and Talisman Treasures he had given her,
her strength was sufficient to deal with anyone at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
She could even slay those at the late stage of Foundation Establishment if they were weak enough.
Plus, if she couldn’t win, she could still escape with the help of the talismans.
“Alright, Changsheng, you also need to be extra careful,”
Lu Yuanzhong nodded upon hearing this and said no more.
Having seen how Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge treated him earlier, he knew their mana was far stronger than his.
If it weren’t for the fear of losing face, he would even consider sparring with Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge to gauge the gap between them.
“Rest assured, uncle,”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
He then went to pay respects to his father-in-law, Lu Yuanding, and the Fourth Elder.
Years had passed, and Lu Yuanding had aged considerably, with much more white hair.
Looking at his father-in-law, Lu Changsheng felt quite nostalgic.
He vividly remembered how the man had taken him back to the Lu Family at the foot of the Qingyun Sect.
After paying his respects, Lu Changsheng prepared to leave.
At that moment, a woman was supporting an old, stooped man nearby; the two were talking about something.
The old man looked at Lu Changsheng and immediately called out, “Greetings to Lu Mountain Lord.”
“Uncle Gui,”
Upon seeing the elder, Lu Changsheng stopped, nodded with a smile, and greeted him.
This old man was the Qingzhu Villa’s Hundred Treasures Pavilion shopkeeper who had taken good care of him in the past.
“Greetings to Lu Mountain Lord,”
The woman beside him looked at Lu Changsheng with a complex expression and respectfully greeted him.
“Little Moon, long time no see,”
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, recognizing her as Uncle Gui’s granddaughter.
After a brief exchange with the two, he took out a bottle of elixir medicine from his storage bag that could nourish the flesh and gifted it to Uncle Gui. ＲάɴỖ𝖇ЕȘ
Although the man possessed the cultivation level of Qi Refinement, fifth layer, his years of hard work had taken a toll on his health.
If he could nourish himself with the elixir medicine, he would be able to live a few years longer.
“Please accept it, Uncle Gui. You took good care of me in the past,”
“I’ll trouble you to pass these two bottles of elixir medicine to Uncle Fu and Lu Bo on my behalf,”
Lu Changsheng said, taking out two more bottles for the other two stewards.
“Thank you, Lu Mountain Lord!”
Both expressed their gratitude, and watching Lu Changsheng walk away, they were filled with emotion.
They had never thought that the once son-in-law, who had become a formidable ancestor and master of a mountain, would still remember the kindness they showed him and display such warmth.
Upon arriving at the Red Leaf Valley Market, Lu Changsheng met with Lu Miaoge and spoke about the matter of the robber cultivators.
Lu Miaoge had already received the news and said she would increase patrols and be more vigilant in the Red Leaf Valley Market during this time.
Afterwards, Lu Changsheng also asked Lu Miaoge to help see if they could gather all the materials needed for the family’s array in the Red Leaf Valley Market,
so he wouldn’t have to make another trip to any other marketplaces.
