The lines on it looked a bit rough, not as smooth, but it was still a success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It really is a first-class talisman, a Fireball Talisman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, you go and rest first. I’ll report this to the head of the family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured, now that you’ve become a first-class talisman master, our Lu family will definitely not mistreat you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Uncle Fu took the talisman and inspected it to confirm its authenticity, his face lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Uncle Fu,” Lu Changsheng bowed slightly and took his leave to await the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly the bell rang in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the courtyard door and saw three figures standing at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were Uncle Fu, the head of the Lu family, Lu Yuanding, and the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Miaoge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Changsheng saw the three of them, he immediately knew their purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was for him to become a first-class talisman master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, only one day had passed and the head of the Lu family arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even came in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Respectful greetings to the head of the family, the young lady, Uncle Fu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng quickly bowed and invited the three of them in, leading them into the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he gestured for his wife to take the children to the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are all your children, right? They can all walk now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanding had a refined and handsome appearance. When he saw the children in the courtyard, he spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, head of the family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to be formal, Changsheng. You’ve been with the family for over two years now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lu Yuanding was like a senior family member, and his address to Lu Changsheng had changed to Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I report to the head of the family, and I’ve been with the Lu family for almost two and a half years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time really does fly. Before we knew it, more than two years had passed. Have you adapted well in these two years?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanding continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the beginning, when he paid a little attention to the situation of the Immortal Seedling, he had visited Qingzhu Mountain Estate twice in the past two years, but he hadn’t come back much after that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, head of the family. I’ve been doing well these past two years, and Uncle Fu has taken good care of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng said aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in his heart, he couldn’t help but think that he was already twenty years old, yet they were treating him like a three-year-old child, playing with him like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Practical matters were what really mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lu Changsheng’s wife brought spiritual tea into the hall and left after putting it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Changsheng, I’ve heard from Uncle Fu that you’re already able to draw first-tier low-grade talismans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Lu Yuanding took a sip of tea and came to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Patriarch, I’ve been practising consistently during this time, and I can now draw Fireball Talismans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, the success rate is still not high at the moment, only around twenty to thirty percent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng spoke up and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything has a difficult start. In just over a year, you’ve managed to refine your talisman crafting skills to this level and become a skilled talismanist. It’s already very good. Show me what you can do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miaoge is also here, so you can show her as well. She can give you some advice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanding’s tone was soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Fireball Talisman that Lu Changsheng gave to Uncle Fu, Lu Yuanding naturally knew that Lu Changsheng could draw first-class talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, such things still needed to be witnessed in person for confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Patriarch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go get the talisman-making tools.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng stood up and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, I have them here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Miaoge, who was standing next to them, stood up and took out a set of talisman crafting tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was as soft as ever, as soothing as a spring breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Miss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng took the tools from Miaoge’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The talisman pen was still the ‘Golden Bamboo’ talisman pen from the last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked over to the table and laid the talisman paper flat on it, Lu Changsheng seemed a little nervous as he took a deep breath, dipped the pen into the ink and began to draw the Fireball Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the first talisman, about halfway through, a mistake occurred, causing the talisman paper to emit smoke and fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Yuanding and the others didn’t say anything, signalling Lu Changsheng to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the second drawing, Lu Changsheng seemed a bit clumsy, but he still succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re still a bit nervous, but you’ve made great progress compared to last time. However, your use of spiritual power is still not precise or natural enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lu Miaoge, who was standing beside them, pursed her lips slightly and commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lu Changsheng’s second tier full level talisman crafting skill, it was of course easy to fool her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your guidance, Miss. My progress is all thanks to the ‘Essence Of Talisman’ that Miss graciously gave me,” Lu Changsheng said, bowing with a hint of excitement in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very good. I didn’t expect you to successfully craft the Fireball Talisman on your second attempt,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems you were too modest when you said you only had a twenty to thirty percent chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanding on the side also laughed out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inwardly, Lu Yuanding couldn’t help but feel astonished. Lu Changsheng, whom they had almost rejected because of his Nine Spirit Root, had an astonishing talent for Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a year and a half, he had gone from being a novice to a skilled Talisman Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His talent was not only equal to that of his daughter, Lu Miaoge, but also surpassed her in some ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this age and talent, the Lu family could indeed extend an olive branch to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was just a fluke this time, just good luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng said a little embarrassedly like a simple young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, no need to be so modest,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanding waved his hand and continued, “I have been watching your performance in the Lu Family for the past few years, and I already consider you one of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that you have become a skilled Talisman Master, the Lu Family will no longer mistreat its own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here are the revised terms of your contract. Take a look,” Lu Yuanding said, handing Lu Changsheng a piece of parchment from his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a spiritual contract, similar to the contracts from their past lives. When Lu Changsheng and the other immortal seedlings came to the Lu Family, they had signed such contracts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master,” Lu Changsheng said, pleasantly surprised as he accepted the spiritual contract and examined its contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contents were straightforward, unlike the densely packed pages of the contracts from their previous lives, which could easily lead one astray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, the previous contract was null and void. Lu Changsheng was no longer a breeding son-in-law or a burden to the Lu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was the legitimate son-in-law of the Lu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there was no need for him to give birth to fifty children in twenty years for the Lu Family, or to have as many children with spiritual roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children born would be his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, he would enjoy the same treatment as the legitimate descendants of the Lu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could move to the core area of Qingzhu Mountain, reside in the Qingzhu Valley, and enjoy the second-level Spirit Vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the monthly resources would be increased from five Spirit Stones to ten Spirit Stones, along with a bottle of Yellow Dragon Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his duty was to refine a certain amount of talismans for the Lu family every month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And according to the needs of the Lu Family, he would practice the corresponding talismans, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these talisman-making materials were provided by the Lu Family, and it was also the Lu Family’s way of cultivating talisman-making skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lu Changsheng’s second-level talisman-making skills, this obligation was certainly worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the last condition made Lu Changsheng frown slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to leave the Lu family, he had to tell them twenty years in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would have to return three times the amount of resources the Lu Family had spent on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous conditions were indeed good, no doubt about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the last one made him hesitate a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last condition basically meant that staying with the Lu family was the best option for everyone, a win-win situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to leave the Lu Family, he had two options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either pay back three times the resources the Lu Family had spent over the years, which was like buying his freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or he could inform the Lu Family in advance and work for them for twenty years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, Lu Changsheng had always wanted to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he got through the initial stages and had some strength, he would choose to leave the Lu Family and set up his own cultivation clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Lu Family, there was security and protection, but in the end, he was still living under someone else’s roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many things, tasks, were done with hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, when it came to making talismans, he had procrastinated for a year and a half in order to demonstrate his first-class talisman-making skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was filled with over four hundred first-order talismans, almost five hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it were turned into spirit stones, it would be a huge sum!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Lu Changsheng knows that his talent is not good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to continue on the path of cultivation and go far, he can only rely on the system. He needs to have more children, especially those with spiritual roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s difficult and troublesome to have spiritual children through ordinary wives and concubines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needs to marry more ‘immortal ladies’ with spiritual roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Lu Family were willing to marry a woman with spiritual roots to him, it would only be one or two at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s impossible to directly marry nine of them like he did with secular women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he wants to have a large number of secular women to have children, the Lu family will have some concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Changsheng, if you feel that something is wrong, or if you have any doubts or questions, you can bring them up directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This contract was just something I thought of today, so there might be some oversight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lu Changsheng’s hesitant and confused expression, Lu Yuanding took a sip of the spirit tea and said in a gentle tone.\u003C\u002Fp>",1888,"2026-05-28T18:58:20.469Z","2026-06-01T04:28:44.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","2c9a79b730f4a6faec04a8248eccb83381f9de43a670c3d42514eafae1815258","starting-from-a-son-in-law-to-build-an-long-last-chapter-18","starting-from-a-son-in-law-to-build-an-long-last-chapter-16",2199,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-son-in-law-to-build-an-long-last-cover.jpg"]
