Chapter 62: Daily Life_1

Translator: 549690339

In the courtyard, a group of children were playing.

“Daddy!”

A little girl dressed in a red cotton-padded jacket and fur coat, sitting on a swing and nibbling on a hawthorn stick, called out crisply when she saw Lu Changsheng.

She then hopped off the swing and ran to Lu Changsheng with her little short legs, pitter-pattering away. She handed the hawthorn stick to Lu Changsheng and said with a smile, “Daddy, it’s so sweet.”

A smile spread across Lu Changsheng’s face as he tasted a hawthorn stick.

Indeed, it was very sweet, sweet to the core.

Casting a glance at Lu Ping’an and his sons, who were playing joyfully with the Nine Netherhound, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but huff in mock annoyance before scooping up his daughter.

He held her slightly cold hands and said softly, “Come, it’s cold outside, let’s go play inside.”

Daughters really are more considerate.

Lu Changsheng carried his daughter, Lu Xile, into the main hall.

There were several braziers placed on each side of the hall with charcoal burning to dispel the chill. His wives and concubines were happily chatting together.

However, there were always a few toddlers who had just learned to walk wandering about.

Not only did they seem like they could fall at any moment, but they also liked to pick up anything they saw and stuff it into their mouths, requiring constant vigilance.

“Dadada!”

At that moment, little Qi Lu Xianzhi rode over on a mechanical wooden horse and signaled to Lu Changsheng to move aside.

Lu Changsheng saw this and stood his ground, refusing to move.

Then Lu Xianzhi charged at Lu Changsheng with the mechanical wooden horse.

The result was the whole person along with the mechanical wooden horse toppled over, leading to a fall on the ground with a pout forming on the little lips as if about to cry.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help laughing at the sight; he immediately manipulated the mechanical wooden horse with his Object Manipulating Technique to move ‘dadada’ around his son.

Lu Xianzhi, who was about to cry, stopped upon seeing this scene.

He climbed back onto the wooden horse and ran around happily under Lu Changsheng’s control, his face brimming with joy.

This child had a Spiritual Root, but he was not precocious or particularly sensible and was just like a normal child.

“Daddy, hug!”

Little Ten, who was playing nearby, saw Lu Changsheng and staggered over with his little short legs, arms outstretched, asking.

With one hand holding Lu Xile, Lu Changsheng picked up Little Ten with the other.

Seeing her holding a white jade bun, he said, “Give Daddy a bite.”

Little Ten thought for a moment, then lifted the bun in her hand to him.

“Daddy will show you how to eat a big bun in one bite!”

Lu Changsheng said and, in one bite, devoured the white jade bun that was as big as an adult’s fist from Little Ten’s hand.

He astonished Lu Xile, Little Ten, and a few other small ones nearby, who all stared with wide eyes.

But the next moment, Little Ten looked down at her empty hand.

Eh? Where’s my bun?

Looking at Lu Changsheng smacking his mouth, she pursed her lips in a pout, her face on the verge of tears.

It was as if she was saying, you ate such a big bun all by yourself, without leaving me any.

“Husband, why do you always like to tease the children!”

Lu Miaoyun, with her belly bulging, walked over and chided.

Every time Lu Changsheng came over, he would tease the children until they cried and then make them happy again. She thought he was truly idle to no end.

Speaking of which, she took a white jade bun from a bamboo steamer nearby and handed it to Little Ten, a motherly smile spreading across her face, “Here, Yu’er, be good, no crying.”

“Kids are meant to be played with,” Lu Changsheng said nonchalantly, also taking a white jade bun to eat.

The bun tasted very nice, made of flour ground from White Jade Spirit Wheat.

Now that he could afford it, aside from everyday meals, Lu Changsheng would also buy lots of Spiritual Materials and Spirit Food to keep at home for his wife and children to enjoy some sweet treats, prepared by their maid, Qing Zhu.

With such a diet every day and living on Qingzhu Mountain, the health of his wives and the little ones had improved significantly, robustly vigorous.

Not to mention, children brought up this way were bound to become martial arts prodigies as they grew up.

“Husband, your aura, you’ve broken through to the Middle Stage of Energy Refinement!?”

At this moment, Lu Miaoyun looked at Lu Changsheng, a touch of surprise on her face as she spoke.

Having lived with Lu Changsheng all the time, she naturally noticed the change in the Spiritual Power aura emanating from him, which had become much more substantial than usual.

“That’s right, after grinding for so long, I’ve finally broken through this barrier,” Lu Changsheng said with a smile, nodding his head.

“Congratulations, Husband, on breaking through to the Middle Stage of Energy Refinement~”

Lu Miaoyun’s face lit up with a smile; she hugged Lu Changsheng’s arm and gave it a playful shake, her sparkling eyes full of admiration as she spoke.

“Congratulations to my husband!”

“Congratulations to my husband on your breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement!”

“Congratulations to my husband on another step forward on the path of immortality!”

A group of wives and concubines congratulated Lu Changsheng one after another.

“Wow! Daddy is so amazing!”

“Congratulations, Daddy!”

“Congratulations, Daddy!”

The children, seeing their mothers doing so, also gathered around Lu Changsheng, chirping and shouting excitedly.

Lu Changsheng laughed heartily.

Then, with a smile all over his face, he waved his hand and said, “It’s just the Fourth Level of Energy Refinement.”

He had to admit, the feeling of being adored and admired by his wives and children was quite pleasant.

It satisfied his sense of male pride immensely.

Every time, a sense of pride, happiness, and satisfaction would arise in his heart.

Thereafter, Lu Changsheng teased the children and chatted with his wives and concubines.

This was his daily leisure time for relaxation.

Otherwise, staying indoors every day, with nothing to do but cultivate and procreate, the dull life without other entertainment would be bearable for a short time, but truly grinding over the long term.

The next day, Lu Changsheng rubbed his lower back.

The previous night, in celebration of his breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement, his wives and concubines bashfully fulfilled some of his requests.

It left him almost without rest for the entire night.

“Your body is your capital for revolution,” he sighed softly.

Afterwards, he left home and went to the Fourth Elder’s residence.

Today wasn’t the usual day at the end of the month when the Fourth Elder taught Talisman Making and cultivation.

Rather, previously, the Fourth Elder had told him to inform her once he broke through to the Forth Level of Energy Refinement.

Although he did not know what it was concerning, having been instructed by his grandmother, Lu Changsheng naturally made his way there.

After all, this kind of matter wasn’t something that needed to be hidden.

“Son-in-law, the old lady is currently crafting a talisman, and you might need to wait for a while,” said the steward of the Fourth Elder’s household, respectfully presenting tea to Lu Changsheng.

“Purple Bamboo Granny, I’m not in a hurry; go ahead with your duties,” Lu Changsheng replied to the steward, accepting the tea.

About half an hour passed.

The Fourth Elder arrived in the hall.

Her attire today was different from usual; she wore a lotus crown on her head and a blue-brown flowing cloud Daoist robe, resembling a female Daoist.

She seemed to have shed some of her usual elegance and nobility, instead exuding an air of transcendence and quiet grace.

Lu Changsheng understood that his grandmother, although a Top-Level Talisman Master of the First Grade, did not have a high success rate in crafting Supreme Talismans.

Normally, when she needed to craft Supreme Talismans, she would choose an auspicious day.

Then she would proceed with purification rituals, such as cleansing her body, face, hands, etc., and adjust her state to increase the success rate of talisman crafting.

Her attire as a female Daoist was also part of her talisman crafting ritual.

Lu Changsheng rose and bowed in salute: “Grandmother.”

“Changsheng, have you come to see your grandmother for a reason?” asked the Fourth Elder, smiling kindly at Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng had been married to Lu Miaoyun for more than half a year.

In that half-year, the Fourth Elder had observed all of Lu Changsheng’s actions.

Industrious and steady, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and especially gifted in Talisman Making.

This made her increasingly satisfied with this grandson-in-law.

She believed that marrying Lu Miaoyun to Lu Changsheng was absolutely the right decision.

She even started to become unconcerned about Lu Changsheng having a multitude of wives and concubines.

Because she had realized that Lu Changsheng was not as she had known, immersed in the pursuit of female company all day.

In this half-year, he had not neglected his Talisman Making duties, and his performance only improved.
