Lu Changsheng understood upon hearing this that the position of family elder was the Lu Family’s way of further pulling him in.
Otherwise, there was no such thing as inheritance of the elder’s position—it couldn’t be decided by the Fourth Elder alone.
It required a vote from all the Lu Family elders.
“Grandmother, since you have said so, Changsheng naturally accepts,”
Seeing the old woman’s kind face, Lu Changsheng didn’t refuse any longer and nodded his agreement.
“Good, this matter will be decided at this year’s family gathering. It will be hard work for you then, Changsheng,”
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng accept, the Fourth Elder’s face broke into a smile.
Such a matter was significant and naturally wouldn’t be decided on the spot.
She had come to give a heads-up, so that Lu Changsheng could be prepared.
“Grandmother, it’s not hard at all,”
Lu Changsheng said with a slight smile, shaking his head.
“Changsheng, how are you doing with the First Grade Supreme Talisman now?”
At that moment, the Fourth Elder started to show her usual concern for Lu Changsheng’s Talisman-Making Skill.
She would ask about Lu Changsheng’s progress in Talisman-Making every half-year or so.
Half a year ago, Lu Changsheng had already revealed skill almost comparable to that of the Fourth Elder.
“I still need Grandmother’s guidance,”
Without saying much, Lu Changsheng showed his own Talisman-Making Skill to the Fourth Elder.
Now that he had broken through Foundation Establishment, he felt bold enough to be a bit more daring.
He planned to accelerate his progress in the Talisman Path.
In a few years, he would reveal his Second Grade Talisman-Making Skill to the public.
“Very good, very good,”
The Fourth Elder was thrilled and full of approval as Lu Changsheng successfully drew a First Grade Supreme Talisman, her face alight with excitement.
She could see that Lu Changsheng’s skill in making talismans was in no way inferior to her own.
The Talisman, even if she were to draw it herself, would not surpass the proficiency shown by Lu Changsheng, or might even be inferior.
Lu Miaoyun, who stood to one side, although not fully understanding, was also filled with joy and happiness.
She knew that her husband’s skill in the Talisman Path had improved again.
Over the years, she had watched as Lu Changsheng’s Talisman Path skills steadily improved.
“Changsheng, in the future for Talisman-Making, there’s nothing much Grandmother can teach you, you must rely on yourself,”
“This purple one is the inheritance for our Lu Family’s Second Grade high-quality Talisman Master,”
“This white one contains my own annotations and understandings of the Talisman Master inheritance over the past few decades. Now, take them and study well,”
“The only thing Grandmother wishes now is to see you become a Second Rank Talisman Master,”
The Fourth Elder straightened the Storage Bag and took out a white jade case.
Inside were two Jade Slips she passed to Lu Changsheng with a solemn expression.
Lu Changsheng, seeing her expression, knew that this must be the most precious thing the old woman possessed.
After all, it was extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to acquire Advanced Cultivation Techniques and Second Rank Skills inheritance.
Not just because they were expensive.
It was also because there were very few available in the market.
This inheritance for the Second Grade high-quality Talisman Master was probably the foundational inheritance of the Lu Family’s Talisman Path.
“Grandmother, Changsheng will certainly not disappoint your expectations,”
Lu Changsheng nodded emphatically, accepting with both hands respectfully.
“Very good, very good,”
The Fourth Elder joyfully patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder, not saying much more on the subject.
After briefly chatting for a while, she went to visit several of her other grandsons.
As the old woman aged, her fondness for the children grew even more.
Lu Yun, Lu Miaoyun’s eldest son, was also nine years old this year.
Having been discovered to have a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root, he was very much loved by the Fourth Elder.
However, Lu Miaoyun’s second child did not have a Spiritual Root, and the third child only had a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, causing both Lu Miaoyun and the elder a bit of disappointment.
“Congratulations to my husband,”
After the Fourth Elder departed, Lu Miaoyun congratulated Lu Changsheng with a joyous face.
Her husband was not only making rapid progress in the art of Talisman-Making, but he was also about to become a Family Elder, which as his wife, naturally seemed like a great cause for celebration.
She felt proud and happy for her husband’s achievements.
“Indeed, it is something to celebrate,”
Lu Changsheng replied, smiling and nodding.
Even if he was indifferent to the elder position,
it was indeed a happy event for a normal person,
and it would seem somewhat remiss if he appeared too calm about it.
Before long, Lu Miaoyun announced the news within the household.
“Congratulations to my husband,”
“Congratulations, Father,”
“Congratulations, Daddy!”
The wives and children in the back courtyard, upon hearing the news, were all very happy, offering their congratulations to Lu Changsheng.
Their thoughts and understanding were similar to those of Lu Miaoyun.
They felt that becoming a Family Elder was something very extraordinary and honorable.
Now that their own husband and father were about to become a Lu Family Elder, it was naturally a remarkable achievement.
Lu Changsheng, seeing his wives and children’s happy faces, couldn’t help but feel joyful, a smile spreading across his face.
“The matter hasn’t been decided yet, it’s enough that we know ourselves,”
He waved his hand and thought to himself that if they knew he, their husband and father, was already a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, they would be even more astonished.
…
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Practice Room,
Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, the Seven Luminaries Stars appearing tirelessly in his mind along with endless Sword Qi.
Countless strands of Sword Qi gathered in his Dantian, slowly forming an ancient lamp with seven star-like flames circulating around it.
“Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp!”
“With Spiritual Light in the heart as the wick and Mana as the oil, a flicker of Mental Spirit ignites the Heart Lamp, dispelling Elixir Toxicity, protecting Mental Spirit, clarifying the mind to see one’s true nature, and warding off external demons,”
“Should it be forged into a Life-bound Spiritual Artifact, and with heavenly silver as the oil, it could hasten cultivation, refine Mana, and make one’s foundations even more pure,”
“Furthermore, when facing an enemy, stirring the Mana can unleash boundless Sword Qi to attack, making it a versatile tool suitable for offense, defense, and cultivation!”
