Bihu Mountain.

The Lu family's mansion, the meeting hall.

"At present, there are 316 family members, including 3 foundation building monks, 4 in the late stage of Qi refining, 34 in the middle stage of Qi refining, and 16 in the early stage of Qi refining."

Lu Changsheng sat upright on the main seat, listening to his wife Lu Miaoyun's summary with a calm expression.

Before he knew it, the number of members of his Lu family had exceeded three hundred.

Moreover, there are 316 family members, but there are 57 immortal cultivators!

That's a staggering ratio!

The reason why there are so many immortal cultivators in the middle stage of Qi refining is entirely because his twenty-one wives and concubines are all in this cultivation realm.

In terms of children, thirteen people are currently in the middle stage of Qi refining, and sixteen people are in the early stage of Qi refining.

"This year's income is 31,143 yuan, and the expenditure is 35,665 yuan, and the family accounts for 70% of the expenditure."

Lu Miaoyun continued to speak.

In the hall, everyone heard that it was another negative expenditure and a loss, and their expressions were a little heavy.

After all, for more than four years, Bihushan has been in a state of loss and has not turned losses into profits.

And the reason for the loss, the main expenses, everyone in the field is clear.

Lu Changsheng himself doesn't have much feeling about this, and thinks that four years can be so good.

After all, in his opinion, the expenses for starting a family and giving birth are necessities, and in the long run, they are all earned.

However, in terms of the family's expenditure, the expenses of the 'Shenmu Great Array', the 'Canghai Array', and the cultivation of Dao soldiers were not included.

Otherwise, the expense would be even more exaggerated.

"In terms of income, there is an improvement compared to last year, and we will strive to be even in profit and loss next year."

Lu Changsheng chuckled, knocked on the table and said, "Next, I'll say two things. ”

"Our family has been in a state of semi-closure for many years, and many properties are not convenient to take care of and manage."

"Therefore, starting from this year, when the children of the family reach the age of 18 and break through the fourth layer of gas refining, they can apply to go out to run a business and take care of the business."

Lu Changsheng looked at his wife and concubines and children, and said loudly.

"Apply to go out and take care of your business?"

Some of the Lu family disciples looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

In the past four years, although no one has mentioned it, some of the children of the Lu family still have a lot of complaints in their hearts.

After all, at this age, I am in the prime of life, and I am full of yearning for the outside, so I naturally want to go out and see more.

Not to mention travel, experience, I grew up in Qingzhu Mountain and Bihu Mountain, and there are a bunch of rules and constraints at home, how can I be bored and yearn for the outside.

And when many wives and concubines heard this, they knew that this was another opportunity to perform.

"As for going out to practice, you need to cultivate to break through the sixth layer of qi refining before you can apply."

Lu Changsheng continued.

Before Lu Quanzhen proposed to go out to practice, he must be the only one who has such an idea.

Therefore, he also directly set the rules and set his cultivation at the sixth level of qi refining.

For the current children in the family, this cultivation is neither high nor low, and the age is about twenty-five years old, and he also has some experience.

"Finally, it's about the head of the house."

Lu Changsheng looked at the children below and said loudly.

At present, the affairs of the family are relatively detailed, each performing its own duties, and trivial matters are basically coordinated and handled by Lu Miaoyun.

Some major matters were decided by him and Ling Zixiao.

But now that the family has decided to let go of the mountain gate, no matter the family trivialities, or business, there needs to be someone to deal with other families, that is, the head of the Lu family.

"Head of the house!?"

Hearing this, many concubines looked suspicious, looked at each other, and looked at Lu Ping'an, Lu Quanzhen, and Lu Yun.

Although the Lu family did not pay too much attention to the distinction between concubines and concubines.

But in the eyes of most concubines, there will still be this distinction.

After all, although Lu Changsheng treats all his children equally, he still has obvious preferences in daily life.

Like Lu Ping'an, Lu Quanzhen, and Lu Yun were all born to his wife, and they were relatively old, and they were favored by Lu Changsheng, and most people guessed that the head of the family would choose from them.

"At present, the first head of our Lu family is Lu Yun."

Lu Changsheng didn't vote either, and looked directly at his son Lu Yun and said.

chose Lu Yun, on the one hand, his son Lu Ping'an, and Lu Quanzhen did not have the idea of serving as the head of the family.

On the other hand, it is also in terms of ability.

Although Lu Yun lacks assertiveness and courage, under Lu Miaoyun's teaching, he is not bad at doing things.

As the head of the family, with the help of Lu Miaoyun's mother in the early stage, at least there will be no problems.

Moreover, this son is not without merit.

At least he was diligent and obedient, and set an example in marrying a wife and having children.

Now he has a wife, three concubines, and three children.

Although there is no way to compare with him as a father.

But among these children with spiritual roots, it is already very good.

"Thank you father, the child will live up to his father's high expectations and live up to expectations!"

When Lu Yun heard this, he took a deep breath, got up and said with some joy and nervousness.

Although the head of the Xiuxian family is different from the head of the family in the world.

Being the head of the family is equivalent to half-giving up the immortal path, and you have to spend a lot of time on daily chores, and there is basically no hope of building a foundation.

But the identity, status, and power of the head of the family are still beyond doubt.

"Congratulations Brother Yun!"

"Congratulations Brother Yun!"

"I've seen the head of the house!"

Someone immediately congratulated Lu Yun.

"Well, behave."

"The position of the head of the family is one term in five years, and he will serve for four terms at most."

"I will make judgments based on the performance of my tenure, do a good job, have a lot of rewards, continue to serve, and if I don't do a good job, I will be replaced directly, you know."

Lu Changsheng said loudly.

He chose Lu Yun as the head of the family, in addition to Lu Miaoyun, there are not many children to choose from in the family at present.

If Lu Yun's ability is really not good and not suitable, he will still change people and choose from other children.

After all, in his eyes, there is really no distinction between concubines and concubines in this regard, and as the head of the family, the main thing is to look at ability.

"Yes, Father!"

Lu Yun took a deep breath and nodded in response.

He had already known these things in advance from his mother-in-law Lu Miaoyun, and he was mentally prepared.

"This family meeting, that's it, if you have anything else, you can come to me directly."

Lu Changsheng looked at his wife and concubines and children, and said loudly.

"Yes, husband, father!"

Everyone in the hall stood up and responded respectfully.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng left the hall directly with several wives.

With the end of the family meeting, Bihu Mountain was lively.

Lu Changsheng also accompanied his wife and concubines and children during these times, discussing the arrangements for the release of the children in the family.

After all, when children are released, they give priority to markets like Red Leaf Valley City, Jiulong Fang City, which are close to Bihu Mountain.

In addition to this, he also asked Honglian to refine the identity token for the family.

Let all the children of the Lu family feel each other's location through the jade plate outside, send messages to each other, ask for help, verify their identities, and so on.

Moreover, during these times, he will also spend more time on the third-order talisman that he has prepared for his children.

"Childe, what do you think of this style?"

On this day, 'Xu Ruyin' handed the refined identity token to Lu Changsheng.

The token is roughly three fingers wide, like gold and jade, with turquoise accents around the edges.

On one side, the mountain and sea patterns are drawn, and on the other side, there is a 'land' character, which is gorgeous and a little simple.

This token can sense each other's existence within a hundred miles, and carry out simple transmission within thousands of miles.

If Lu Changsheng wanted to, he could use the Red Lotus Sect's Infinite Tracking Technique to find the location of the token.

"Yes, you can identify each token and make a simple distinction."

After Lu Changsheng looked at it a few times, he asked Honglian to put a simple mark on the side of the word 'Lu', and then set it like this.

There are a total of 13 children in the family who are eligible to apply to go out.

But at present, only six people have applied to go out, so he is not in a hurry to refine tokens.

According to the speed at which Red Lotus refines one piece in three or five days, it is enough.

After arranging and handling the family affairs, Lu Changsheng remembered that the auction of Bai Yulou was almost out.

I immediately went out and came to the White Jade Building in Jiulongfang City.

"Ye Gongzi, please inside."

"Of the four maids you auctioned in our Baiyu Mansion before, except for No. 66, No. 69, No. 77, and No. 98 all won the auction."

"I don't know if Ye Gongzi confirms it."

When the steward of Bai Yulou saw Lu Changsheng, he immediately said enthusiastically.

In Jiulongfang City, being able to spend nearly 50,000 spirit stones to buy maids is definitely a big customer, so it is very enthusiastic.

"Did Sixty-Six fail?"

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows, but he didn't care too much.

Xuan is about to pay the balance of the remaining three maids.

Since these three maids also had to be transported from other places by Bai Yulou, they had to wait for more than a month.

In this regard, Lu Changsheng said goodbye and left after the matter was confirmed, saying that he would come to pick up people at that time, and he didn't have to send them home.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

"This is a life talisman refined for your father, and you will smear a drop of blood from your eyebrows and essence on it."

"If you encounter a life-and-death crisis, you can activate the talisman to escape."

"The matter of this talisman must not be revealed to the public, you know!"

Lu Changsheng looked at a famous child in front of him, his expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice.

His talisman is called 'Stand-in Talisman', and it ranks at the bottom of the third order.

The effect is somewhat similar to his substitute talisman, which can be linked by the essence and blood, body and soul, and when in danger, a stand-in puppet can be formed to block the robbery, and then move thousands of miles away.

It's just that the effect is far inferior to the substitute talisman, and it can only resist one blow at most.

And unlike the substitute talisman, it can block the life of the evil and guard against some difficult means.

But for these children, it was enough.

They all went to Fang City to take care of business, unless they encountered some powerful repairs, otherwise there was a high probability that they would not be able to use these talismans.

"Yes, Father!"

It was the first time they had seen their father look so majestic.

Knowing that the stakes are important, they dare not be contemptuous, and they have made a demon oath.

Then he looked at the talisman in his hand like purple dragon scales, outlining the mysterious tadpole text, and looked happy.

After all, they all knew that their father was a top-level talisman master with a great reputation, and such a life-saving talisman must not be simple.

Seeing that his children were using the 'stand-in talisman' one by one, Lu Changsheng left after explaining a few words.

Dawn breaks in the east, and the morning light is faint.

At the top of Biyun Peak, Bihu Mountain is at the highest place, and an ancient tree with a height of dozens of zhang, full of gold and jade, and flowing with crystal brilliance stands.

This place is the forbidden area of Bihu Mountain, the place where the old ancestor and the daughter of the old man practiced, and you can easily overlook the scenery of the entire Bihu Mountain.

At this moment, on top of the ancient tree, a man and a woman are doing shameful and happy things.

Lu Changsheng asked Xu Ruyin to hold the branches, and he supported her in the back, flexible and powerful.

"Hmm~"

Xu Ruyin was dressed in a red gauze dress, and her two evenly beautiful legs were like jade pillars, and she was forced to pat her toes, raising her heels from time to time, making her white jade toes red.

"Miss Xu, do you like this?" Lu Changsheng teased.

After getting along for so long, he naturally couldn't help but pick the fruit of Xu Ruyin.

may be under his daily training, or under Ling Zixiao's brainwashing, Xu Ruyin gradually accepted his fate, and took the initiative to dedicate himself when he and Ling Zixiao were drunk and warm.

Faced with this situation, Lu Changsheng naturally would not pretend to be a gentleman.

In the following days, Xu Ruyin was equivalent to becoming Ling Zixiao's roommate, helping to serve, making Lu Changsheng happy.

And on weekdays, Lu Changsheng has some tricks that are not good with his wife, and Xu Ruyin can also cooperate.

"Woo woo hi. Like"

Xu Ruyin was forced to hold the branches of Sumeru, her beautiful eyes were closed, her fiery red hair was messy, and her mouth made a stumbling sound.

At this height, the two of them could also see the fishermen fishing in Bishui Lake, and some casual cultivators who were cultivating on the island in the middle of the lake.

"You say, will they see us? Or wondering what we're doing here? ”

Lu Changsheng looked at the vast blue water lake, his palm swimming on the slippery skin, and said softly.

Although Xu Ruyin knew that he would definitely not be able to see this place under the 'Upside-Down Five Elements Array', his blurry beautiful eyes opened and closed, looking at the scenery below, he was still tense, and an indescribable stimulation welled up in his heart.

In the end, under the crisp voice, Xu Ruyin muttered, moaned and burst out, with a hint of crying, his body was paralyzed, and his hands hung down weakly.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng said in his heart that Xu Ruyin was so good at refining the ninth layer of qi, but his body was still a little weaker.

patted her jade buttocks, held her delicate body, and changed her posture to continue.

Just then, a system prompt sounded.

[Congratulations to the 30 descendants of the host for completing the qi introduction into the body, entering the immortal path, and obtaining the bloodline effect: the probability of the spiritual root of the heir is increased by 5%, and the chance to win the lottery once!] 】

"Huh? Thirty?"

Lu Changsheng heard this system prompt sound, and his heart paused slightly.

Twenty-five times before, he didn't prompt it, and he had this guess.

Hearing that the system was in a good mood, Lu Changsheng was also in a good mood, holding Miaoman's waist, driving straight in, smashing Huanglong, and venting his happiness.

The beautiful woman's jade body trembled, trembled, threw away her armor, was embarrassed, and the sweet spring was surging.

It wasn't until the third pole of the day that Lu Changsheng put Xu Ruyin back to rest, came to the rune room by himself, and started the lottery.

'System, lottery! ’

Lu Changsheng thought silently in his heart.

Suddenly, the light red carousel appeared with golden light, and began to spin the lottery, and then stayed in the 'pet' column.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Spirit Pet: Hell Demon Flower! 】

[The reward has been distributed to the system space, and the host can view it at any time]

A black, blood-colored flower pattern emerged from the large turntable, accompanied by a system prompt.

"Hell Demon Flower, Demon Plant?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up when he saw this reward.

Although he didn't have much idea about pets, spirit plant pets were definitely an exception.

After all, through the Sumeru Tree King, he knew that this demon plant could also be used to cultivate the 'Heaven and Earth Immortality Method'.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng looked at the system space.

【Demon Beast: Hell Demon Flower】

[Grade: Heavenly Rank]

[Description: The fifth-order demon soul of the Netherworld was transformed, watered with the blood of countless living beings, and thus born, feeding on flesh and blood souls, with a prison in the abdomen, imprisoning living beings, and currently has second-order strength]

"Hey, Heavenly Ladder Grade!? Possess second-order strength!? ”

Lu Changsheng looked at the grade and description of the Hellish Demon Flower in front of him, and his face was happy.

Whether it is this grade or strength, it makes him feel that this Hell Demon Flower is very good.

If you really want to talk about the problem, it just looks a bit evil.

"Born with the help of the blood of living beings, and feed on flesh and blood."

"Does this mean that this demon flower doesn't need much spiritual vein and aura, as long as there is enough flesh and blood?"

"If that's the case, planting this Hell Demon Flower won't put too much pressure on the current situation in Bihu Mountain."

"I don't know if this demon flower can be used to cultivate the 'Heaven and Earth Immortality Method'."

Lu Changsheng saw the demon plant in the system space, and muttered to himself in his heart.

I plan to give this demon plant to Lu Miaohuan, or Qu Zhenzhen to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Immortal Method.

Through Lu Miaoyun's cultivation of the Heaven and Earth Immortality Method, he knew that after refining the 'Heaven and Earth Spirit Plant' into a natal spirit root, in addition to affecting the growth of the Spirit Plant to a certain extent, there would not be much other big problems.

And the Hell Demon Flower, as a demon plant of the Heavenly Rank bloodline, must meet the requirements for cultivating the 'Heaven and Earth Immortality Method'.

If it is used to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Immortality Method, the effect may be much better than that of the Lingming Treasure Tree.

"But this Hell Demon Flower should be suitable for Huanhuan?"

Lu Changsheng touched his chin.

This Hell Demon Flower looks a bit like a demon in both appearance and description.

According to Qu Zhenzhen's character, I am afraid that I will be afraid if I look at it, where do I dare to feed it with flesh and blood.

Although Lu Miaohuan doesn't necessarily like it, it is obviously much better than Qu Zhenzhen, and she shouldn't mind this aspect too much.

"If Sumeru is allowed to give birth to a companion spirit plant, then Huanhuan and the true spirit plant will be solved."

Lu Changchang let out a sigh.

I plan to pick a time to plant this Hellish Demon Flower for Lu Miaohuan and Qu Zhenzhen to see.

Half a month later, Lu Changsheng came to Jiulongfang City.

Almost three months later, his three maids had already arrived.

Lu Changsheng looked at the three maids in front of him.

is similar to Shao Yuyao, Xiao Yueru and others at the beginning, all three of them are superior in appearance and figure, but their eyes are dull and full of numbness.

The only difference is that two of the three women have a fifth-grade spiritual root and one has a sixth-grade spiritual root.

"Five-grade spiritual root"

Lu Changsheng was quite emotional in his heart.

I still remember the first time I came to Baiyulou, and I only bought the Nine Rank Spiritual Root maid.

At that time, the medium-grade spiritual root was simply unattainable for himself.

But after years of hard work, the woman of Zhongpin Linggen is just a similar expenditure for herself.

There are even female cultivators with medium-grade spiritual roots who take the initiative to come to the door and post it upside down.

"Wealthy couples, no wonder wealth comes first, tsk, money can make ghosts grind."

After Lu Changsheng sighed slightly, he said that there was no problem and brought the three of them back to Bihu Mountain.

During this period, this Xia steward also promoted Lu Changsheng to the next member.

It means that the membership level is higher, and the number of maids can be seen in future auctions, and the quality will also be improved.

This surprised Lu Changsheng, but he didn't expect that the auction would also be divided into grades.

Immediately, he asked this Xia steward what the price of the previous few high-grade spirit roots was auctioned.

The other party did not hide it, saying that the price of the first auction was 150,000, and the price of the second auction was 160,000 spirit stones, which made Lu Changsheng speechless.

I feel that there are still more rich people than I imagined, but with this financial resources, he is definitely not a foundation building monk, he must be a real person!
