Chapter 44: My Daughter is Also Suitable for Lu Changsheng
Qingzhu Valley, a mountain villa.
"What?"
"Lu Changsheng has been promoted to a middle-grade symbol master?"
"I remember it has only been two years since he became an entry-grade symbol master."
Lu Yuanding, who was dealing with affairs, heard the report from Lubei.
It was mentioned that Lu Changsheng was able to draw a middle-grade symbol and was promoted to a middle-grade symbol master, immediately showing a look of surprise on his face.
During this time, he hadn't paid much attention to Lu Changsheng's progress in symbol making.
He only knew that Lu Changsheng perfectly completed the symbol-making tasks assigned to him every month.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng was able to draw a middle-grade symbol and become a middle-grade symbol master from an entry-grade symbol master.
"Yes, Lord, it has been sixteen days since Lu Changsheng became an entry-grade symbol master, which is almost two years."
"When I heard this news, I couldn't believe it either, so I asked Lu Changsheng to draw a Fire Cloud Symbol in front of me."
"This is a middle-grade symbol drawn by Lu Changsheng - the Fire Cloud Symbol."
Lubei nodded and took out a symbol, saying so.
He guessed that Lu Yuanding might be very surprised when he heard this news and might not believe it.
That's why he asked Lu Changsheng to draw a Fire Cloud Symbol in front of him.
"It is indeed a middle-grade symbol, the Fire Cloud Symbol. Lu Changsheng's talent in symbol making is truly..."
Lu Yuanding took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
He didn't know how to describe Lu Changsheng's talent in symbol making.
From a beginner who had never touched symbol making, he explored on his own and became an entry-grade symbol master in a year and a half.
Then, in about two years, he went from an entry-grade symbol master to a middle-grade symbol master.
This was amazing.
It should be noted that his eldest daughter, Lu Miaoge, was very talented in symbol making.
But it took her about three years to go from a lower-grade symbol master to a middle-grade symbol master.
Moreover...
Compared to Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge not only had better conditions but also had a mentor to teach and guide her.
In this comparison, it truly highlighted Lu Changsheng's extraordinary talent in symbol making.
If Lu Changsheng knew that it was so difficult to go from a lower-grade symbol master to a middle-grade symbol master, and that Lu Miaoge took three years, he would probably have to wait for another year or so.
He was thinking that it took him only a year and a half to go from a beginner to an entry-grade symbol master, and now it's been about two years to be promoted to a middle-grade symbol master.
"Alright, go and inform the elders and clan elders about this matter, and hold a small meeting tomorrow."
"Let's see what they think and how to arrange Lu Changsheng."
Lu Yuanding put down the Fire Cloud Symbol in his hand, tapped his finger on the table, and gave instructions.
Compared to an entry-grade symbol master, a middle-grade symbol master was already worth the attention of the Lu family.
Especially considering Lu Changsheng's current talent in symbol making, it was highly likely that he would become a second-grade symbol master in the future!
A second-grade symbol master would even be given some face by Foundation Building cultivators.
"Alas, it's a pity that Lu Changsheng is not of the Lu family bloodline, after all, he is an outsider."
Lu Yuanding sighed deeply.
Even though he had always told Lu Changsheng that he was one of them, a family member.
But in the end, he was not of the Lu family bloodline and couldn't be completely regarded as one of their own.
Qingzhu Valley, Qingzhu Hall.
In the simple and elegant conference hall.
Incense slowly burned, emitting a faint fragrance.
Lu Yuanding sat in the main seat, with several high-level members and clan elders sitting on both sides of the long table.
"I believe you elders should have some understanding of Lu Changsheng's situation and information. I would like to hear your thoughts."
Lu Yuanding looked at the elders and clan elders and said.
"With such talent in symbol making, he has the potential to become a second-grade symbol master in the future. He must be used by our Lu family and must not be allowed to leave!"
One of the gray-haired old men said.
He was the elder of the Lu family, at the peak of Qi Refining stage, responsible for the family's finances and assisting the family head in managing the family.
"Family head, this child has only been with our Lu family for a little over four years. Can we really consider him loyal to our Lu family?"
A thin and gray-haired old man spoke up.
He is the third elder of the Lu family, responsible for matters related to spiritual bamboo, spiritual fields, spiritual medicine, and so on.
"Based on Lu Changsheng's behavior over the years, it can be seen that he is a person without great ambitions, content with small wealth."
"Although Lu Changsheng does not completely devote himself to our Lu family, he does have a certain sense of belonging."
"Furthermore, considering the previous contract, the possibility of Lu Changsheng leaving our Lu family is not high."
Lu Yuanding spoke up.
"I heard that Lu Changsheng only has one hobby, which is marrying wives and having children."
"Not satisfied with marrying nine secular women from our Lu family, he even brought back three women from the secular world and made them his concubines, one of whom has spiritual roots."
"It seems that Lu Changsheng knows that he has no hope of cultivating immortality, so he places his hopes on the next generation, wanting to have more children with spiritual roots."
"Coincidentally, my granddaughter Miaoyi is twenty years old this year, obedient and sensible, and she has an eighth-grade spiritual root. I am willing to marry this granddaughter to Lu Changsheng."
"This way, Lu Changsheng can truly become our Lu family's son-in-law."
"Then, I will let my granddaughter give birth to several children with spiritual roots for Lu Changsheng. This way, Lu Changsheng will be completely bound to our Lu family."
"Moreover, Lu Changsheng's surname is also Lu, so the children he will have in the future can easily integrate into our Lu family and become our Lu family's descendants!"
At this moment, an old man with white hair and a youthful appearance spoke up.
He is the fifth elder of the Lu family, a wine brewer, responsible for the Lu family's spiritual wine business.
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the elders and clan elders present showed slight changes.
Lu Yuanding, who was sitting in the main seat, also couldn't help but be moved by these words.
He has many children.
But he only has three children with spiritual roots.
His eldest daughter, Lu Miaoge, is the one who puts his mind at ease the most.
Not only is she sensible and diligent in cultivation, but she also has talent in talisman making.
However, his second daughter, Lu Miaohuan, is the one he worries about.
Although she has a sixth-grade spiritual root, she is usually more playful and not very focused on cultivation.
In addition, after becoming the head of the Lu family, he neglected to discipline his children, which led to this daughter having a somewhat arrogant and proud temperament.
It's fine as long as she is in the Lu family, with him as her father.
But if this pampered and proud daughter marries and he is no longer around, she is very likely to suffer.
And once she suffers, it could be a big loss.
Now, upon hearing the words of the fifth elder, he suddenly had some thoughts.
Why not marry his daughter, Lu Miaohuan, to Lu Changsheng?
Through several encounters and the evaluations of Uncle Fu and Uncle Lu, he also felt that Lu Changsheng was not bad.
Not only does he have innate talent in talisman making, but he is also honest and steady.
Although he likes women and has many wives and children, at least he doesn't neglect his duties in talisman making.
And according to the information, he also knows that Lu Changsheng treats his wives and children very well and cares for them.
In these aspects, coupled with Lu Changsheng's secular farmer background, there is basically no interaction with secular families now. If he settles in Qingzhu Mountain, he can be considered half a member of the Lu family, and he is not afraid of his daughter suffering if she marries him.
Once this thought came to mind, Lu Yuanding felt that it was feasible the more he thought about it.
He felt that Lu Changsheng was a good son-in-law candidate.
"With Lu Changsheng's talent in talisman making, it must not be wasted. He should be well cultivated."
"I am also willing to marry my granddaughter Miaoyun to Lu Changsheng and teach him talismans, so that he will completely devote himself to our Lu family and become a second-level talisman master for our Lu family."
At this moment, a middle-aged noblewoman in her thirties or forties spoke up.
She is the fourth elder of the Lu family, a first-level master-level talisman master, responsible for the Lu family's talismans.
"I also have a granddaughter."
Another old woman with gray hair spoke up.
After the fifth elder spoke, one after another, the elders and clan elders voiced their willingness to marry their descendants with spiritual roots to Lu Changsheng.
Although the Lu family is a family, they also have different branches and consider their own interests.
Someone like Lu Changsheng, who is considered half a member of the Lu family and has shown such talent in talisman making, is naturally highly sought after by the elders and clan elders. They are very willing to marry their descendants with spiritual roots to him.
Because in doing so, it is equivalent to binding Lu Changsheng, a future second-level talisman master, to their own branch.
Even if Lu Changsheng does not become a second-level talisman master in the future, he will still be a first-level master-level talisman master.
No matter what, it is a profitable and risk-free situation.
Lu Yuanding looked at the elders and clan elders who kept speaking up, and he coughed lightly, saying, "I think Miaohuan is also about the right age to marry, and she is quite suitable for Lu Changsheng."
