Chapter 226: Family Reputation and Spiritual Land Inspection (Two in One, 1500 Monthly Tickets Additional Update)_6
"Oh? I would appreciate Zi Xiao's guidance,"
Lu Changsheng said as he held the warm and soft jade in his arms, shifting to a more comfortable position and asked.
"After establishing a family, why rush to handle all matters and prepare everything in such haste?"
"Moreover, how could all these tasks be completed at once?"
"What your lordship has mentioned, all these tasks require time to be completed step by step."
"Currently, you're not short of Spirit Stones and you have the reputation of a Second Grade Talisman Master. If willing, you could recruit Spiritual Plant Masters and Beast Tamers."
"It shouldn't take long to find people responsible for the spiritual fields, the medicinal gardens, and the breeding of Spiritual Beasts."
"As for the spirit farmers and menials, there are as many as you could want."
"In the Cultivation World, there are plenty of people willing to take on such jobs."
"Regarding the family business and resource extraction, if there is a lack of manpower, it's not a big deal to cooperate with other families or forces. Let them do the mining, and we'll take a share of the profits. Once we have the people available, we can take over the operations,"
Ling Zixiao shook her head and said with a soft laugh.
She didn't expect Lu Changsheng to be struggling with such matters.
"It seems I've overthought the matter and made it too complex,"
Having heard this, Lu Changsheng immediately realized that he had indeed been overthinking and complicating matters.
Indeed.
As Ling Zixiao had said, after establishing the family, it was impossible to have everything arranged all at once!
These unimportant matters could wait until after the family was established, considering the initial years as the preparatory phase.
After all, he was not short of Spirit Stones during this period and could use his current ones to invest in and develop the spiritual land.
As long as the family was gradually getting on the right track and the children were also growing up, these problems would be easily solved.
"Your lordship is indeed overthinking these matters."
"If Lu Lang finds these matters burdensome, let your concubine handle them,"
Ling Zixiao continued.
In recent days, she had been feeling quite bored on Qingzhu Mountain and was looking for some things to do, to contribute to Lu Changsheng's cause.
At the same time, she could also use this to gauge Lu Changsheng's attitude towards her.
To see if he fully trusted her and was truly sincere.
"Since that is the case, I'll trouble you with it, Zi Xiao."
"These days, I need to help Sister Miaoge change her Cultivation Technique and prepare for her Foundation Establishment, so I don't have much time,"
Lu Changsheng said with a delighted expression.
Given that Ling Zixiao had established herself in Jiuxiao Immortal City on her own, he believed these matters would be no issue for her at all.
"Changing Cultivation Techniques?"
Ling Zixiao was somewhat surprised when she heard this.
Generally, a Cultivator wouldn't switch Cultivation Techniques.
Because changing Cultivation Techniques not only wasted time but also resulted in a loss of Cultivation Level.
The higher the Cultivation Level, the greater the loss, which was a significant waste of time.
Lu Miaoge was currently at the Ninth Level of Energy Refinement and about to undertake her Foundation Establishment. If she changed her Cultivation Technique, not to mention the substantial loss, she would at least be delayed by a year.
"Yes, on my recent journey, I acquired a Cultivation Technique that is suitable for Sister Miaoge."
"And the opportunity to treat your Dragon Roar Physique lies within this technique."
"Therefore, I need to prepare Sister Miaoge to switch to this Cultivation Technique in the coming days,"
Lu Changsheng said aloud.
He directly revealed the matter of Lu Miaoge changing her Cultivation Technique.
After all, he had previously mentioned that bringing Lu Miaoge back would likely solve Ling Zixiao's Dragon Roar Physique issue.
Now that he was talking about changing the Cultivation Technique, it was also a way to explain the situation.
"It would be hard for both Lu Lang and Miaoge..."
Ling Zixiao was slightly taken aback when she heard this.
She hadn't expected that Lu Miaoge's switch to a new cultivation technique would be related to resolving her own Dragon Roar Physique.
This caused the emotions in her heart to stir slightly.
"No problem."
Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly and then said, "By the way, regarding matters like assessing the neighboring families or recruiting talents, if there's a need to spend Spirit Stones, Zi Xiao, you can speak directly to me."
Before leaving Jiuxiao Immortal City, the sponsorship from five well-intentioned robber cultivators had once again filled his storage bag, so for the time being, he wasn't worried about spending money.
"I still have plenty of Spirit Stones."
"Besides, as your wife and partner, I should naturally contribute to the family's establishment."
Ling Zixiao said with a light smile.
"Good."
Upon hearing her words, Lu Changsheng nodded his head and didn't stand on ceremony with Ling Zixiao.
Everyone needs to be needed by others.
Sometimes, letting them help out more and take care of little things can also foster a deeper relationship between two people.
...
After entrusting the establishment of the family to Ling Zixiao, Lu Changsheng focused his whole attention on Lu Miaoge's transition to the cultivation of the "Water of Virtue Technique."
Back in Green River Marketplace, in Ruyi Prefecture, Lu Miaoge had already started delving into this cultivation technique.
However, many parts still required Lu Changsheng's guidance to unravel and explain in detail.
Thinking about his own plans to establish a family, Lu Changsheng felt it was necessary to inform Lu Miaoge.
Otherwise, if he mentioned it after Lu Miaoge had just completed her Foundation Establishment, it would seem as if he had always been intentionally hiding it, which could affect their marital relationship.
"Establishing a family?"
Lu Miaoge showed no great surprise upon hearing Lu Changsheng speak of his plans to establish his own family.
During the many years as his wife,
she had already sensed that her husband didn't fully consider Qingzhu Mountain his home.
Previously, when she learned that Lu Changsheng had refused to become the patriarch of the family, she vaguely guessed that Lu Changsheng might be thinking of leaving or starting his own clan.
However, she wouldn't bring up the subject on her own.
"When I heard that you, Changsheng, refused to be the family patriarch, I began to suspect."
"It's fine, Qingzhu Mountain is ultimately too small. If you, Changsheng, wish to establish a family, you can directly tell father and the old patriarch now. I believe they would understand and can offer some help."
Lu Miaoge said with a gentle voice.
If in the past she thought her husband was extraordinary,
seeing the Orthodox Level Cultivation Techniques, Foundation Establishment Elixirs, and Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects he provided, she understood that Lu Changsheng was even more exceptional than she had imagined.
Such a person could not possibly be limited to Qingzhu Mountain.
"Given the current situation of the family, how could I bring up starting my own clan with my father-in-law and the old patriarch."
"I just wanted to give you, Sister Miaoge, a heads-up that I have this intention and plan."
"After Sister Miaoge breaks through to the Foundation Establishment, you might relieve Elder Yuan Zhong's injury and help stabilize Qingzhu Mountain."
"Then, I can go out and establish my own clan."
Seeing that Lu Miaoge did not mind, Lu Changsheng felt a sense of relief and voiced his thoughts.
"Hmm."
Lu Miaoge nodded gently in response.
She inquired about Lu Changsheng's current thoughts and shared some tips with him about establishing a family.
She expressed that she would have someone keep an eye out for nearby families willing to sell their spiritual lands.
After chatting idly for a long time, Lu Changsheng continued to guide Lu Miaoge in her cultivation of the "Water of Virtue Technique."
At the same time, he began cultivating the "Taiyi Seed Way Art," preparing to condense the Taiyi Dao Seed.
