“What happened? Give us the details.”

“It’s about him and Lu Changsheng!”

“I heard that Lu Changsheng beat Lu Miaoyang up, and then Lu Miaoyang ran off to make a scene at the ancestral hall, eventually even the ancestors were provoked.”

“Shh, even the ancestors got involved!”

“Who would have thought that brother-in-law Changsheng, who usually seems so amiable, would actually beat up Miaoyang!”

“Yeah, I thought he would calm things down and let bygones be bygones.”

“Even a nice guy has his limits, after all, who could tolerate Lu Miaoyang’s character!”

“Exactly, I guess Lu Miaoyang must have pushed him too far.”

“Serves him right, it’s so satisfying!”

“Speaking of which, Lu Changsheng must have been punished by the family too, right? How was he dealt with?”

“I’m not too sure about that, but I heard he was fined quite a few Spirit Stones.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, he really got caught in the crossfire!”

The next day, the affair between Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyang also became the talk of many Lu Family disciples within Qingzhu Mountain.

After all, the incident had caused quite a stir in the past few days, attracting a lot of attention.

Now that the family had made its judgment, the outcome naturally became a topic of gossip and intrigue for everyone to relish.

Meanwhile…

Qingzhu Valley.

Inside a manor.

“Family Head, please take care.”

Lu Changsheng saw Lu Yuanding out the door and exhaled slightly.

Lu Yuanding’s visit was primarily to comfort him,

worrying that he might feel wronged and hold a grudge over yesterday’s judgment.

Although the Fourth Elder had paid all the Spirit Stone fines on behalf of Lu Changsheng, he was indeed fined.

Secondly, the visit was about discussing benefits and compensation.

Lu Yuanding was aware of his promotion to a high-grade Talisman Master through the Fourth Elder.

Since the Fourth Elder had mentioned it, there was no need for a confirmation assessment as before.

So Lu Yuanding came directly to discuss the new benefits with Lu Changsheng.

The original ten Spirit Stones per month had been increased to thirty Spirit Stones.

The twenty catties of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, increased to fifty catties.

Additionally, the monthly Talisman Making task escalated from being rewarded ten Spirit Stones to thirty.

Any excess completed Talismans would still be bought by the Lu Family at the original price.

However, for the excess Talismans, the Lu Family switched from rewarding Spirit Stones to granting Family Contribution Points.

Family Contribution Points could be exchanged for Spirit Stones.

They could also be used to claim Elixir Medicines and precious treasures from the Lu Family’s Treasure Pavilion,

with the price being twenty to thirty percent cheaper than the market rate outside.

This too was considered a benefit for the family disciples.

As for the upgraded treatment, Lu Changsheng didn’t feel much impact.

It was mainly because his mindset on consumption had shifted.

Previously, after killing a wave of Robber Cultivators, he acquired valuables worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones,

and easily spent several thousand Spirit Stones.

Now, the idea of a few dozen Spirit Stones a month just didn’t excite him much anymore.

“Sigh, when I first came to the Lu Family, I only had two Spirit Stones a month.”

“Every month I had to carefully calculate my expenditures on Spirit Rice and vegetables; now, faced with dozens of Spirit Stones, I actually feel indifferent.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed.

He remembered the days when he would have split a single Spirit Stone in two to make it last longer.

“Wealth earned by a stroke of luck is rare after all; a steady income is the true path to follow.”

“After all, where would I get so much windfall from.”

Lu Changsheng subtly adjusted his mentality, reminding himself.

After staying in Qingzhu Mountain for three days,

Lu Changsheng bid farewell to his wife and concubines, riding an Iron Feather Eagle back to Nine Dragons Marketplace.

In truth, he had wanted to stay in his home for a longer period.

But the Spiritual Talisman Shop needed his supervision,

and in a couple of days, there would be the periodic inspection of goods.

However, he had also mentioned to the Fourth Elder,

that he would like Lu Miaoge to take care of the shop temporarily, so he could take some time off at home.

The reason was simple.

When he had initially gone to Nine Dragons Square, not only was it hard to refuse,

but he also thought of selling his talismans at the marketplace and purchasing materials for cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, as well as taking in a ‘Fairy’.

But now, he had nearly completed these tasks and could afford to take a break.

There was no need to stay in the marketplace all the time.

He planned to stay on Qingzhu Mountain for a while, to spend some quality time with his wives and children.

Because next year, he was preparing to send Lu Ping’an and the other children into the secular world.

For now, he considered it as taking a leave.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, the Fourth Elder readily agreed,

stating that in two months, he would send Lu Miaoge to take over for Lu Changsheng,

so he could spend more time at home with his wives and children.

Later, if he found the time, he could alternate with Lu Miaoge in managing the Spiritual Talisman Shop,

making it much easier for both of them to handle.

Two days later.

An Iron Feather Eagle descended outside Nine Dragons Marketplace.

Lu Changsheng entered the marketplace and headed towards the Spiritual Talisman Shop.

“Hm? It’s him!”

“What a coincidence, to run into him like this.”

Just then, on the bustling street, a delicate-looking girl in a purple dress caught sight of Lu Changsheng, paused for a moment, and then her lips curved up in a smile.

She pretended to stroll casually while following closely behind Lu Changsheng.

After trailing him for a while, the girl saw Lu Changsheng walk into a Spiritual Talisman Shop.

She looked up at the sign above the shop.

“Qingzhu Lu’s Spiritual Talisman Shop.”

Then, with a smile, she walked inside.

A moment later, the girl emerged from the shop, still smiling.

“Qingzhu Lu’s Spiritual Talisman Shop’s owner.”

“Is he a disciple of the Qingzhu Lu Family?”

“How could a mere disciple from a Foundation Establishment Family have so many talismans and even a Talisman Treasure on him?”

With a frown, the girl inwardly mused.

“This man must have a big secret, a great opportunity.”

“Otherwise, a disciple from a mere Foundation Establishment Family couldn’t possibly have a Talisman Treasure and so many talismans.”
