Time flew by, and three months had passed.
In these three months, Lu Changsheng did take care of the three new maids he had bought, but only one of them became pregnant.
It wasnât that there was a problem, but rather that he had been busy.
Moreover, with so many concubines already at home, Lu Changsheng was not in a rush for them to conceive immediately.
One day, Lu Changsheng felt a surge of mana abruptly enter his body.
He knew that one of his children had advanced in their cultivation realm.
...
Nowadays, as his children gradually began their cultivation, almost every few months or half a year, he could sense this enhancement.
But whether it was the Qi Refinement cultivation level or the martial realm, in terms of adding to his current strength, it was far too insignificant.
Unless it was a quantitative change, otherwise, only when his children broke through Foundation Establishment would he experience a significant improvement, enabling him to directly break through his own realm!
âFatherâŠâ
Three days later, his son Lu Quanzhen saw Lu Changsheng and immediately reported that he had broken through to the Sixth Level of Qi Refinement.
âQi Refinement Sixth Level.â
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng knew that Lu Quanzhen was hinting at wanting to go out for an experience.
Although for such matters, one could directly report to Lu Yun, and Lu Miaoyun.
But it was clear he couldnât get past his mother Qu Zhenzhen, thus he came to have his father speak on his behalf.
âSigh, go ahead then.â
Lu Changsheng also felt somewhat troubled.
Once he agreed to his sonâs request, he naturally would not go back on his word.
Moreover, in his heart, he too wished for his children to travel more.
In the cultivation world, except for those with exceptional talents, without experiencing storms, even with a Foundation Establishment Elixir, Foundation Establishment would not be easy to achieve.
The two of them went to Qu Zhenzhenâs courtyard.
âAdventuring, how dangerous it is outside!â
Qu Zhenzhenâs smile turned into concern upon hearing the reason for their visit.
She looked at Lu Quanzhen and fretted, âQuanzhen, if you want to go out, you could go to Red Leaf Valley Market, your mother isnât stopping you, but the outside world is so chaotic, so dangerousâŠâ ĆđNâ áĐs
âHusbandâŠâ
Qu Zhenzhen then looked at Lu Changsheng, knowing he must have come to advocate on their sonâs behalf.
After all, she had approached Lu Changsheng several times about Lu Quanzhenâs situation, but it was clear that as a father, he was partial to his son.
âZhenzhen, I understand what youâre thinking, you want Quanzhen to be safe and sound,â
Lu Changsheng took his wifeâs wrist and sat down beside her, saying, âI also wish for them all to be safe, but Quanzhen is no longer young; he has his own convictions and will be unhappy staying at home all the time.â
âBesides, an eaglet must fly on its own eventually. It can only grow after experiencing storms and waves.â
âAlthough with me as a father, Quanzhen wouldnât need to go through these things, itâs a good thing that he wants to venture outâŠâ
Lu Changsheng slowly explained to his wife.
Qu Zhenzhen never made unreasonable fusses about such matters, but would just show a wronged expression and feel sad alone.
And he, who always found it hard to resist her soft approach, feared his wifeâs aggrieved appearance.
Lu Quanzhen was much the same; he might revere his father,
but he respected his mother and feared her sadness, her aggrieved look upon him.
âMoreover, if Quanzhen goes out, I, as a father, am prepared.â
âThis talisman, named âSubstitute Talisman,â can save oneâs life from Nascent Soul Immortals and those below them using a talisman.â
âThereâs also this puppet. Youâve seen it before; itâs a Second Rank puppet that can hold up against a Foundation Establishment Cultivator for several exchanges.â
âWith these, there wonât be much danger for Quanzhen while traveling.â
As Lu Changsheng spoke, he produced a talisman that resembled a purple dragon scale and a beast-shaped puppet that was dark gold in color, emitting a cold gleam.
Originally, he hadnât planned on giving him a Second Rank puppet.
But seeing Qu Zhenzhen like this, he decided to offer more.
âA Second Rank puppet!?â
Lu Quanzhen, who had been bowing his head, was taken aback upon hearing his fatherâs words and seeing the Second Rank puppet before him.
A Substitute Talisman that could save oneâs life from Nascent Soul Immortals and those below.
That, he could barely comprehend.
After all, his father was a top-level talisman master.
But to also give him a Second Rank puppet!?
Was his father really that generous and wealthy!?
He knew that his father was doing this for his motherâs sake, to allay her worries, and he felt a surge of emotion.
He thought about just going through the motions and returning the puppet to his father later.
After all, such a puppet was worth about ten or twenty thousand spirit stones.
Even for his father, that was probably not a small amount.
âSighâŠâ
Qu Zhenzhen pursed her lips and let out a deep sigh.
She knew that since Lu Changsheng had said so much, he was basically agreeing to let Lu Quanzhen go out.
Under such circumstances, it would not be appropriate for her to say more.
And she had never been one to contradict Lu Changshengâs words.
âQuanzhen, be careful out there on your own. Donât go off for years; remember to come back every yearâŠâ
âAnd make sure to keep the talisman and puppet your father gave you safe, donât go seeking danger just because you have themâŠâ
Qu Zhenzhen, saddened and reluctant, pulled her son aside, softly speaking with teary eyes.
A motherâs worry spans a thousand li when her child travels afar.
Especially in the cultivation world, which had always seemed chaotic and dangerous to Qu Zhenzhen, she was very concerned about her son going out alone.
âMother, rest assured, your child understands!â
Lu Quanzhen, with a handsome and earnest face, affirmed.
He then smeared his browâs blood and vital blood on the âSubstitute Talisman.â
The talisman transformed into a beam of spiritual light, entering the center of his forehead.
Qu Zhenzhen also felt somewhat relieved at this sight.
She might not know much, but she was aware that her husband was very capable and would not shortchange their child.
After letting Lu Quanzhen accept the Second Rank puppet, Lu Changsheng chatted with his wife and son for a while and then departed.
However, as he left the courtyard, Lu Quanzhen sent a message saying he did not need the Second Rank puppet and there was no need for such an expense on his fatherâs part.
âKeep it, itâs embedded with ten middle-grade spirit stones. It can last up against an early Foundation Establishment for nearly ten exchanges, so when you encounter one, do not clash head-on.â
