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

After moving, Lu Changsheng cast a spell to do a simple sweep of the house and the yard.

“This house only has a basic soundproofing formation, it seems I’ll need to buy a few small formations later,”

Lu Changsheng observed the situation in the yard and thought to himself.

Even though Nine Dragons Market had good public order, it still couldn’t compare to living in Qingzhu Valley’s Lu Family compound in the Eastern District.

He still needed to be cautious and have some security measures.

Otherwise, what would happen if he was not at home and his wives encountered danger while at home?

Moreover, these small formations could be taken along and reused after purchasing when moving houses in the future.

The next day, before going to work, Lu Changsheng gave Xiao Qing twenty Spirit Stones.

He asked her to buy some Spirit Rice, Spirit Vegetables, and Spiritual Materials to store at home.

Now that he had Xiao Qing, a Spirit Cooking chef, he could enjoy better quality food.

He also asked Xiao Qing to prepare lunch for two and deliver it to the Spiritual Talisman Shop around noon.

On his way to the Spiritual Talisman Shop, Lu Changsheng saw an array shop and went in to inquire about the prices of small formations, formation implements, and array plates.

“As for the formation implements, there are formation flags, array plates, and formation eyes as part of the set, and the specific cost depends on the area you want to cover…”

The shopkeeper of the formation shop began to introduce.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng asked how much the formation implements would cost for a yard of around four or five hundred square meters.

“There are many types of formations. For this size, the most common First Grade lower-quality formation, the ‘Minor Misleading Array’ costs one hundred and eighty Spirit Stones… As for some stronger formations, it’s not enough to just have the formation implements; you also need an Array Master to set it up and inscribe the array patterns…”

The shopkeeper, recognizing Lu Changsheng, spoke more, sharing knowledge about formations with him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng involuntarily clicked his tongue in wonder.

Just to cover four hundred square meters with a First Grade ordinary lower-quality formation implement would cost one hundred and eighty Spirit Stones.

The price for a complete set of First Grade middle-quality formation implements was around four or five hundred Spirit Stones.

As for a complete set of First Grade high-quality formation implements, the price was basically a thousand or more Spirit Stones.

And for complex formations, the cost was even higher because it included the fee for the Array Master’s services.

“Truly, compared to Array Masters, Alchemists, and Artifact Refiners, Talisman Masters are still a bit lacking,”

“I also wonder if I will be able to draw formation skills in the future? If I could become an Array Master, then once I am settled down, I won’t have to worry about someone breaking into my home.”

After chatting with the shopkeeper for a while, Lu Changsheng shook his head and left.

He didn’t have the money now, and even the First Grade lower-quality formation implements were beyond his reach.

Moreover, in his opinion, the First Grade lower-quality formation implements were actually somewhat mediocre in effect.

At noon, Xiao Qing came to deliver food, carrying a lunch box.

When Lu Miaoge found out there was also a portion for her, a smile appeared on her face.

Lu Changsheng had Xiao Qing prepare two portions, naturally including one for the young miss.

After spending some time together, Lu Changsheng knew that Miaoge also had a bit of a foodie trait and liked to eat often.

Unfortunately, he himself had no culinary skills.

He couldn’t rely on cooking some dishes to conquer her stomach and then her heart with a roasted chicken.

Unless one day he won culinary skills in a draw.

After finishing the meal, Lu Miaoge also offered to give Spirit Stones to Lu Changsheng as food expenses.

Lu Changsheng naturally refused to accept this.

But unable to persuade Lu Miaoge otherwise, he eventually agreed to accept twelve Spirit Stones as a token per month.

Night fell.

When Lu Changsheng got off work and returned home that day, Xiao Qing told him that in the afternoon a neighboring household had come to visit.

They had also brought three talismans, saying that they were now neighbors and hoped to look out for each other more in the future.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised.

He hadn’t expected the neighbor to be so enthusiastic.

He took the talismans from Xiao Qing’s hand to have a look, and all three were of lower-grade quality.

“The neighbor gave talismans as a gift, could it be that this neighbor is a Talisman Master?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Thinking that close neighbors are better than distant relatives and that one relies on friends when away from home, he would also be living here for quite some time.

Since the neighbor took the initiative to visit, they seemed to be approachable, and it would be good to get acquainted.

Moreover, maintaining a good relationship with the surrounding neighbors wouldn’t be a bad thing.

At the very least, he would know what kind of people his neighbors were.

Without further ado, Lu Changsheng also prepared a basket of fruit and took out two gift boxes containing several talismans to return the visit.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Lu Changsheng went to knock on the door of the small courtyard to the right.

Soon, the door creaked open.

“Who are you looking for, uncle?”

The door was opened by a little girl around eleven or twelve years old with chubby cheeks, two buns tied with ribbons on her head, and wearing a pale blue ruqun.

The little girl was incredibly cute, with long eyelashes fluttering and her clear, distinct eyes looking up at Lu Changsheng as she asked in a crisp voice.

“I’m the neighbor who just moved in next door, I’ve come to visit. Is your family elder at home?”

Lu Changsheng asked with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

“The neighbor from next door?”

Upon hearing this, the little girl tilted her head and then called into the house with a bright voice, “Dad, it’s the uncle who moved in next door!”

Then, a man in his thirties with a friendly face and a somewhat plump figure walked out from inside.

“I’ve just moved in next door, and having heard that a friend came to visit earlier today, I too wanted to come over and get acquainted,”

Lu Changsheng said politely as he handed over the basket of fruit.

“Oh, it’s you, Lu Daoist. I’m Gao He. Please, come in, come in,”

The middle-aged man said with a warm smile, gesturing invitingly in a way that exuded an aura of affability and prosperity.

This courtyard was subdivided, covering only about a hundred square meters and was not as large as Lu Changsheng’s own yard.
