Chapter 19: Moving In!

Seven days later, Uncle Fu came to tell Lu Changsheng that the arrangements had been made in Qingzhu Valley and that they could move in any time.

On hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately began the process of moving.

However, having lived here for over two years, with nine wives and seven children, they had accumulated quite a lot of belongings.

Looking at all these things, Lu Changsheng felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

“Hehe, the patriarch has long expected that it would be very troublesome for you to move.”

“This is a storage bag, it is a reward from the Patriarch for you. He said that as a talisman master, you should also have a storage bag for convenience.”

Uncle Fu handed a pitch-black leather pouch to Lu Changsheng and explained.

“A storage bag!”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes lit up at the words.

Since he had a lot of talismans hidden away, he had been thinking about buying a storage pouch for a long time. But when he checked with the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, even the cheapest storage bag would cost him fifty Spirit Stones.

Even though he earned five Spirit Stones a month, it still hurt him to part with fifty Spirit Stones for a storage bag, so he didn’t buy one in the end.

He hadn’t expected Uncle Fu to say that the Patriarch had given him one.

“Thank you, Uncle Fu, thank you, Patriarch!” Lu Changsheng immediately expressed his gratitude.

He thought that having such a skill was invaluable. Since he had become a talisman master, the Lu family had become much more generous towards him.

“Hehe, as long as you work hard for the Lu Family, we will never mistreat our own people,” Uncle Fu chuckled.

Then, holding the bag, he continued, “You probably haven’t used a storage bag before, let me demonstrate for you.”

“As long as you aim the opening of the bag at the item you want to store, then inject a bit of spiritual energy into the bag to lock onto the item, it will automatically be sucked in!”

With that, he pointed the bag at a nearby table and chair and injected a bit of spiritual energy. Immediately, a white mist shot out of the bag, enveloping the chair and causing it to shrink rapidly before being sucked into the bag.

“This is how you store things. To retrieve them, it’s the same process; just use spiritual energy to focus on the item you want to take out first.”

As he spoke, another white mist shot out and the chair that had just been stored flew out and returned to its original state.

Watching this scene, Lu Changsheng was both surprised and delighted, feeling that such a storage bag would be incredibly convenient.

“Alright, you can take it and use it now,” Uncle Fu said, seeing the excitement in Lu Changsheng’s eyes as he handed him the storage bag.

“However, there are some taboos when using storage bags. Lu Changsheng, you should pay attention to them.”

“Firstly, this storage bag has only one cubic space and can only shrink items tenfold. So if the item is too big or if you store too many items, the bag will not work properly.”

“For example, large items such as beds, tables and chairs don’t need to be put in. The courtyard in Qingzhu Valley has all the furniture you need.”

“Second, do not put living things in the storage bag. If you put living people or animals in it, they will undoubtedly die. So never try it with children.”

“Thirdly, keep your wealth hidden! This kind of storage bag doesn’t have any function to recognise its owner. If it’s stolen, anyone can claim the items inside. So in the future, when you go out, try not to show the storage bag to other cultivators, or it might cause trouble.”

Uncle Fu spoke solemnly, giving Lu Changsheng careful instructions.

“Yes, Uncle Fu, I will definitely remember that,” Lu Changsheng nodded, naturally keeping those words in his heart.

He immediately took the storage bag and began to move.

He packed all the scattered talismans on the bookcase in the study into the storage bag.

Suddenly, what had been a tedious task became much easier.

In no time at all, everything was packed.

Since most of Lu Changsheng’s wives were now pregnant, and there were so many children, Uncle Fu also arranged for a carriage to be parked outside.

All the women and children sat in the carriage. Lu Changsheng saw Li Feiyu coming to see them off and smiled, “Feiyu, you can’t visit casually anymore, but don’t worry, I will still come to disturb you when I have time.”

“If you need anything, you can always come to me. We don’t need to say much about our relationship, right?”

Lu Changsheng patted Li Feiyu affectionately and said.

Due to the life-saving grace back then, coupled with the friendship over the past two years, Lu Changsheng regarded Li Feiyu as his good brother and true friend.

“Okay, of course I know who you are. You’re a big man, so there’s nothing to say. Just go ahead and go, it’s not like you’re going far.”

Li Feiyu waved his hand with a carefree expression.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng sat down in the carriage driven by Uncle Fu and headed for Qingzhu Valley.

Looking at the leaving carriage, Li Feiyu sighed slightly, with a bit of envy in his eyes, and then returned to his room to start practicing.

“Uncle Fu, Lu Changsheng!”

“Uncle Fu, Brother Changsheng!”

“Brother Changsheng, are you moving?”

Along the way, people saw Uncle Fu and Lu Changsheng on the carriage and greeted them loudly, their eyes full of envy.

A young girl saw Lu Changsheng on the carriage, slightly lost in thought, then walked towards the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

It wasn’t far from Qingzhu Mountain Manor to Qingzhu Valley.

After half an hour of slow travel, Uncle Fu ordered the carriage to stop and said to Lu Changsheng.

“This is the Qingzhu Valley. But there’s a formation protecting it. If you want to go in, you have to show the identity tag I gave you,” Uncle Fu said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng looked carefully and noticed a faint, almost invisible ripple in front of him.

When he first entered Qingzhu Mountain, he had seen a similar formation.

He hadn’t expected there to be a formation within the Lu family.

After that, Uncle Fu took out the identity plate and drove the carriage through the transparent ripple.

The scene inside Qingzhu Valley was somewhat similar to the outside.

If there were any differences, it was that the green bamboo trees here were much taller and more towering than those outside.

And there were also some prominent bamboos that were as green as jade.

The air was extremely rich in spiritual energy, with a hint of Immortal Qi lingering.

From a distance, they could also see some terraced fields where spiritual grains, vegetables, and herbs were being cultivated.

“Is this the Qingzhu Valley?” Lu Changsheng looked around curiously.

“That’s right, this is the core area of Qingzhu Mountain, Qingzhu Valley. Below it is a second-tier Spirit Vain.”

“Living and cultivating here in the future will make your progress much easier. If your wife, concubines and children live here for a long time, it will also have the effect of strengthening their body and prolonging their life.” Uncle Fu explained with a smile, then continued to drive the carriage until they arrived at a mansion.

“This is where you will live,” Uncle Fu said, pointing to the mansion.

“So big?” Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised as he looked at the mansion in front of him.

This mansion was many times larger than the lonely courtyard he had before. At first glance, it seemed to cover an area of about five or six acres.

“Of course. The conditions here are different from Qingzhu Mountain Mansion. This mansion is not only large and beautiful, but also has the effect of sound insulation and spiritual energy gathering,” Uncle Fu explained.

Then, one by one, the wives and concubines got out of the carriage and were amazed at the sight of the mansion in front of them.

They had originally lived in the mundane world, and their living conditions were not this good.

All of them entered the mansion.

Inside, the buildings were magnificently constructed.

Pavilions, towers, winding corridors, man-made hills and ponds made Lu Changsheng feel like he had entered a palace from a previous life, luxurious and grand.

In addition, the misty spiritual energy in the air gave the estate a touch of an earthly fairyland.

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the dwelling place for Qi Refining level cultivators is already so good. If this were a place for Establishment stage cultivators, or even Nascent Soul cultivators, how great would it be?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the swaying bamboo, the lush flowers and trees, and the goldfish playing in the pond.

He was very happy with this place.

Even though he had begun to cultivate immortality and had become an immortal cultivator, Lu Changsheng still felt like an ordinary person.

“Move your things later, and then I’ll take you to Qingzhu Valley to get familiar with it,” Uncle Fu said to Lu Changsheng after leading the women and children into the mansion.

Then he took Lu Changsheng for a walk around Qingzhu Valley.

He told him about some taboos and places he shouldn’t go.

This was because the people who lived here were mostly high-level members of the Lu family, guest elders and core descendants of the family.

There weren’t any shops like the Hundred Treasures Pavilion because there weren’t many people living here and the demand for such things was low.

So if you wanted to buy something, you had to go back to Qingzhu Mountain Estate.

However, on the first of every month, there was a small trade fair in Qingzhu Valley.

Family members and even some visiting elders would bring some unused items to trade at the stalls.

After walking around with Lu Changsheng and giving him the necessary instructions, Uncle Fu left.

And Lu Changsheng returned to his own house.

On that day, Lu Changsheng officially moved to the Lu family’s heartland, Qingzhu Valley.
