Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 403 - 171: Hundred Steeds Towering Pagoda Lock, the Mouse Sees the Sun Again!_3

He didn’t have to worry about being targeted by Meng Yibai’s False Core elder.

After all, if the elder could really track him down through an Earth Spirit Mouse, he would have already done so.

Moreover, although Earth Spirit Mice are rare, they aren’t so rare that people would think too much upon seeing one.

"Daddy, like."

Lu Qingzhu looked at the Earth Spirit Mouse in her hand, then turned towards Lu Changsheng, her sparkling eyes brimming with affection.

"Since that’s the case, Daddy will give this little mouse to my little Zhu."

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

"Oh, thank you, Daddy."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingzhu’s little face showed her happiness.

Then she put down the hamster, stood up, and reached out both her arms towards Lu Changsheng.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng picked up his daughter.

"mua!"

Once picked up, Lu Qingzhu immediately planted a strong kiss on her daddy’s face.

She knew her daddy liked to kiss her cheeks to show his affection.

So she kissed Lu Changsheng back to show her affection.

"Hahaha, such a good girl, mua."

Lu Changsheng laughed heartily, promptly nibbling on his daughter’s chubby cheeks.

"Changsheng, you’re back."

"What’s making you so happy?"

At this moment, the door to the Talisman Room opened.

Lu Miaoge, clad in a snow-white dress, her visage gentle and lovely, walked out.

Seeing the father and daughter so joyous, a beautiful smile graced her face as she spoke.

"Hehe, seeing my darling daughter and wife naturally makes me happy."

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

"Still so slick-tongued even though you’re a father now."

Lu Miaoge responded with a quip, rolling her eyes affectionately at Lu Changsheng while smiling sweetly.

"Oh, Mommy, mousey."

At that moment, Lu Qingzhu in Lu Changsheng’s arms pointed towards the Earth Spirit Mouse, which had finished gnawing on the Spirit Pill, and called out to Lu Miaoge.

"Mousey?"

Lu Miaoge looked to the side and instantly noticed the Earth Spirit Mouse.

After scrutinizing it for a moment, she turned to Lu Changsheng and asked in surprise, "Is this... a Seeking Spirit Mouse?"

In the Cultivation World, there were numerous spiritual beasts with treasure-seeking abilities.

These were particularly common among rodents.

Due to their similar appearance, it was difficult to distinguish between them.

Therefore, many referred to these treasure-seeking rodent spiritual beasts collectively as Seeking Spirit Mice.

"That’s right, it’s a Seeking Spirit Mouse."

"I saw this Seeking Spirit Mouse at a stall earlier and thought about buying it to look for treasure later, but then I realized that I hardly ever leave the house."

"Just now, seeing that little Zhu likes this type of hamster, I decided to give it to her as a companion," Lu Changsheng nodded and explained without any concealment.

After all, it’s easy to recognize a Spirit Mouse with a Seeking Spirit Mouse bloodline; they typically have golden fur and are palm-sized.

"This is such a waste; who spoils their daughter like you do, giving her a Seeking Spirit Mouse as a playmate?" Lu Miaoge said reproachfully upon hearing this.

Seeking Spirit Mice might lack combat ability,

but just their treasure-seeking effect alone made many families and powers eager to obtain them.

Hence, spiritual beasts with treasure-seeking abilities generally had a high value.

Although she didn’t know how many Spirit Stones Lu Changsheng had spent, she felt it was a lavish expense. Experience tales at NovelBin.Côm

"As long as little Zhu is happy, that’s all that matters," Lu Changsheng smiled and said.

"When little Zhu grows up and starts cultivating, who knows, she might find some treasures with this Seeking Spirit Mouse."

Every year, Qingzhu Mountain held a Spiritual Root testing ceremony.

This year, Lu Qingzhu was tested at the ceremony and found to have a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root,

which relieved both Lu Yuanding and Lu Miaoge.

They had feared the child would have no Spiritual Root and would have to be sent to live an ordinary life.

Lu Qingshan also had his Spiritual Root aptitude tested,

but it seemed the Qingzhu Mountain testing crystal was too shoddy, as it only confirmed the presence of a Spiritual Root,

and failed to detect Lu Qingshan’s Gengjin Body Constitution.

Regarding this, Lu Changsheng theorized, aside from the poor quality of the testing crystal, it was also because Lu Qingshan’s Gengjin Body Constitution was still growing.

"Just keep pampering her."

Lu Miaoge smiled and shook her head, no longer saying anything.

Since her husband had given their daughter a playmate, she, as a mother, naturally couldn’t say no.

Moreover, once Lu Qingzhu grew older, maybe she really could find some treasure with the help of the Earth Spirit Mouse.

"Mother."

Lu Qingzhu pointed to the Earth Spirit Mouse and called out to her mother.

"Oh, such a cute little mouse, does little Zhu like it?"

Seeing this, Lu Miaoge immediately came forward with a gentle smile on her face.

She also picked up the Earth Spirit Mouse to take a closer look.

She wanted to see if it was a mid-grade Gold Seeking Mouse or a high-grade Seeking Spirit Mouse.

"I like it."

Lu Qingzhu said in her childish voice.

"If you like it, then little Zhu needs to take good care of it, okay?"

Lu Miaoge told her daughter.

"Okay."

Lu Qingzhu nodded vigorously.

After chatting with her daughter for a bit, Lu Miaoge let Lu Changsheng watch over her.

She went to deliver the Talisman she had just finished making.

Lu Changsheng watched his daughter holding the little hamster, looking at it from every angle, and handed her a bottle of Spirit Nurturing Pills to feed and play with it.

After a short while, Lu Miaoge came back.

She looked at her well-behaved and quiet daughter chatting idly with Lu Changsheng.

"Changsheng, how familiar are you with the Thunder Fire Talisman now?"

At that moment, Lu Miaoge inquired.

"I’m about forty or fifty percent confident."

Lu Changsheng said out loud.

"That fast!"

Lu Miaoge exclaimed with surprise and delight on her face.

This success rate was not low.

After all, a Second Rank low-grade Talisman could bring about a twenty-fold profit.

Even with a success rate of ten or twenty percent, one could roughly make money.

Of course, that was not counting the accumulated practice over days and months.

Like Lu Miaoge, who was currently practicing Second Rank Talismans, she practiced only once per day when she was at her best condition.

After all, the practice cost of over twenty Spirit Stones was truly heart-wrenching.

Even if the Lu Family’s Talisman paper was made from their own Jade Spirit Bamboo, costing only the price of materials, it was still painful.

"It’s okay, isn’t it? I’ve been improving a bit every month."

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

"Who makes progress every month?"

Lu Miaoge felt somewhat struck by her husband’s words.

Talisman Making, much like cultivation, often faced bottlenecks that could last a lifetime without progress.

Even worse, if one’s mentality was affected, one could regress on the Talisman Path.

Possibly even the Talismans they were once able to draw would get worse.

"Heh, that’s what’s happening to me right now."

Lu Changsheng said with laughter.

"Yes, yes, yes, my husband is the greatest."

Lu Miaoge’s face broke into an indulgent smile.

She then inquired, "By the way, Changsheng, when do you plan to hold your Second Grade Talisman Master ceremony?"

"In a few more months, I guess. I’ll wait until my success rate improves a bit and I get familiar with a few other Talismans, then I’ll notify the Family Head."

Lu Changsheng said thoughtfully.

In his view, after holding the ceremony, he would definitely be busy for a while.

Now that Xiao Xiyue was about four months away from giving birth.

If he were to inform the Lu Family now, preparing and sending out invitations would take about a month or two. The timing could easily overlap.

So he planned to wait until after Xiao Xiyue had given birth before organizing the ceremony.

Lu Miaoge nodded.

She knew that the Talisman Path was analogous to other skills; once proficient in one type of Talisman, mastering others would become much easier.

She thought her husband truly approached things with a steady hand.

Even for a ceremony, he insisted on being fully prepared.

This was also thanks to her husband’s exceptional talent and rapid progress on the Talisman Path.

Otherwise, for someone else to do the same might take three to five years, or even longer toil.
