Three days later.
Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge returned to Qingzhu Mountain.
"Husband, Sister Miaoge.â
"Dad, Mom, Auntie.â
Seeing Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge return, the wives and children of the Lu Family instantly created a commotion.
Reunions with family were always bustling and after chatting and eating a meal together, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge stood up to pay their respects to the Fourth Elder.
They were prepared to share the news of becoming a Second Rank Talisman Master with the Fourth Elder.
"Yunâer, call little Yunâer and come visit Grandma with me.â
Lu Changsheng also called for his wife, Lu Miaoyun, and son, Lu Yun.
Lately, the Fourth Elderâs favorite had been her own son, Lu Yun.
Lu Yun had also turned twelve, and two months earlier, he had begun Qi Refinement, achieving the induction of Qi into the body.
Now, he had four children who had begun cultivation, achieving the induction of Qi into the body.
But there was no new achievement reward triggered.
This made Lu Changsheng quietly wonder in his heart if the number had to reach ten to trigger subsequent draws.
At the same time, he was curious if his children could obtain a draw reward if they broke through to the middle stage of Qi Refinement.
"Yes, Husband.â
Lu Miaoyun was not at all surprised.
Every time Lu Changsheng returned, he would pay a visit to the Fourth Elder.
She immediately called over her son Lu Yun.
However, hearing the news, their daughter Lu Yu also followed along.
Facing this, she naturally wouldnât refuse and brought along the several children.
The group arrived at the Fourth Elderâs courtyard.
"Changsheng, Yunâer, Miaoge, why have all of you come?â
The Fourth Elder, with her hair elegantly coiffed into a silver bun, was dressed in a deep azure robe, basking in the sun in the backyard.
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng and the others, a smile immediately graced her face.
"Weâve come to see you.â
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
"Great Grandma.â
The children approached the elderly woman and sweetly called out.
"Ah, my dearsâŠâ
The Fourth Elder looked at the children with a kindly smile, touched their heads, and retrieved Spirit Fruits and sweet treats from her Storage Bag.
The butler Zizhu also came forward with tea.
The family chatted with the elder.
"Changsheng, how are your Talisman-Making Skills these days?â
After chatting for a while, the Fourth Elder inquired about Lu Changshengâs Talisman-Making Skill.
This was something she always cared to ask about every time.
She worried that Lu Changsheng might divert his attention and neglect the Talisman Path.
"Grandma, I came here this time to tell you that Iâve successfully drawn a Second Rank Talisman.â
Lu Changsheng replied with a smile.
"What, Changsheng, you⊠youâve advanced to Second Rank Talisman Master!â
The Fourth Elder was shocked and incredulous upon hearing Lu Changshengâs words.
Lu Miaoyun and the children at her side were also surprised and incredulously happy, looking at their husband and father.
They naturally understood what successfully drawing a Second Rank Talisman signified.
It meant that Lu Changsheng had stepped into Second Rank, essentially becoming a Second Rank Talisman Master.
Currently, there was not a single Second Rank Talisman Master in all of Qingzhu Mountain.
Yet now, their husband and father had become a Second Rank Talisman Master.
The news filled them with boundless joy and pride.
"Yes, Grandma.â
"A few days ago, I was fortunate to successfully draw a Thunder Fire Talisman.â
"So after arranging marketplace affairs with Sister Miaoge, I came back to tell you the news.â
Lu Changsheng said to the elder before him.
After speaking, he handed over the Thunder Fire Talisman he had successfully drawn for the Fourth Elder to examine.
The Fourth Elder took the Thunder Fire Talisman, inspecting it carefully and with great interest in her hands.
The several youngsters, although they did not understand, were curious and peeked at the talisman.
They had never seen a Second Rank Talisman before.
"Good, good, good.â
"Changsheng, you havenât let Grandma down.â
After examining the talisman for a while, the Fourth Elder took a deep breath and expressed her approval repeatedly, her face beaming with joy and unable to contain her happiness.
At her age, she had already seen and let go of many things.
The only things she still kept in mind were the prosperity of the Family and the accomplishments of her descendants.
Lu Changsheng, as her grandson-in-law, had been treated like her own grandson and was laden with her high expectations.
Now, seeing that her beloved grandson had achieved the rank of Second Rank Talisman Master, she was truly delighted from the bottom of her heart.
"This is also thanks to your continuous guidance, Grandma, as well as the Second Rank heritage and annotations on Talisman Making you gave me. Otherwise, Changsheng wouldnât have been able to reach this step so quickly.â
Lu Changsheng said with a beaming smile.
"Hehe, you donât have to flatter Grandma, spouting these nice words.â
"The fact that youâve reached this step is all thanks to your own efforts and talent. The help Grandma can offer is limited.â
The Fourth Elder said with a laugh.
She naturally knew that Lu Changsheng was flattering her.
After all, she had never been stingy with her guidance and teaching for Lu Miaoge.
Initially, she had even invested more effort in Lu Miaoge.
Yet compared to Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge was clearly no match.
"Have you told the Family Head about this matter?â
The Fourth Elder asked aloud.
"Not yet. Sister Miaoge and I just got back not long ago and came straight here to tell you the news.â
Lu Changsheng replied.
"Changsheng, thatâs very thoughtful of you.â
"Such a joyous occasion also needs to be reported to the Family Head and the elders, so the Family can hold a grand celebration.â
The Fourth Elder said, holding her grandson-in-lawâs hand with a face full of gratification.
Now that the Family had produced a Second Rank Talisman Master, they wouldnât keep it under wraps; a grand celebration was in order.
Perhaps even a grand ceremony, inviting neighboring families, spreading the news far and wide, to elevate the Familyâs prestige.
"A grand celebration for this seems a bit much.â
Lu Changsheng said with a twitch in his mouth upon hearing this.
He hadnât expected that merely advancing to a Second Rank Talisman Master would warrant a grand ceremony.
Usually, at least a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment would warrant such a grand ceremony.
"Itâs necessary, itâs necessary. This is about becoming a Second Rank Talisman Master, our Lu Familyâs very first. It must be celebrated properly.â
