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

Chapter 1575: Chapter 535: Art of Vigor and Decay, Yin Yang Daoist Chart Complete!

Lu Family Mansion, Assembly Hall.

Today is the annual meeting of the Lu Family.

At this moment, the entire hall is filled with Lu Family disciples.

Lu Changsheng habitually reclines in the main seat, one hand supporting his chin, the other resting on the armrest, his eyes warm yet exuding an undeniable aura of authority.

Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhenzhen, and Xia Zhiyue sit upright on both sides.

Ling Zixiao is still overseeing at Heming Mountain, so he hasn’t returned.

"Currently, the family has a total of four thousand nine hundred and thirteen members, with one hundred and ninety-five cultivators."

"Among them, there are eighteen Foundation Establishment cultivators, forty-one Energy Refinement Late Stage, eighty-seven Middle Stage, and forty-nine Early Stage..."

Lu Qingxuan reports on the number of family members.

These figures include the Lu Family of Ruyi Prefecture.

However, the number of cultivators is only the surface data of the Lu Family.

People like Lu Quanzhen, Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, Nangong Yaoyao, Yan Lan, Yu Fei, and Qu Zhenzhen, along with several concubines such as Lu Miaohuan, have not publicized their breakthroughs to Foundation Establishment, so are not counted.

Not counting, on one hand, the news is too startling to spread.

On the other hand, Lu Changsheng feels that the number of Foundation Establishment within the family is somewhat hollow.

Unable to be converted into battle strength, it is not included.

However, this number is still quite astounding!

Families like the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain and Hundred Birds Lake Bai Family, during peak periods, may have just one Foundation Establishment Ancestor and about ten Energy Refinement Late Stage members.

Even now, it’s only doubled or so.

And in just a few decades, the Lu Family’s actual Foundation Establishment count has exceeded twenty.

Energy Refinement Late Stage is more than forty, and more are preparing for Foundation Establishment!

This does not include Lu Changsheng, Hong Lian, two Nascent Soul cultivators, Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, Nine Netherhound, Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers, and other spiritual beasts.

"This year’s profit is two hundred and thirty-six thousand one hundred and forty Spirit Stones, nine percent higher than last year, mainly due to increased earnings from Heming Mountain..."

"Expenditure is one hundred and ninety-five thousand five hundred and sixteen Spirit Stones, with family stipends taking up sixty-three percent, family construction expenses taking up nine percent, raw material procurement taking up thirteen percent, and the remainder mainly for social and personal relations..."

Lu Qingxuan continues reporting the family’s income.

Bi Lake Mountain is typical high-income, high-expenditure, especially in terms of family welfare.

Things like the medicinal bath three years ago, the upkeep of the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers, and the Foundation Establishment Elixirs for Lu Chensha, Lu Qingyan, and others, are not counted in the normal family expenses.

Otherwise, the normal operation of the family could not cultivate so many Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Then, other Lu Family disciples managing family affairs successively reported on the family’s business, puppets, talisman making, alchemy, wine brewing, spirit plants, and other properties.

Listening to these figures, Lu Changsheng felt somewhat emotional.

Only then did he realize that aside from Bi Lake Mountain, White Tiger Mountain, Flower Fruit Mountain, and Heming Mountain, there were so many mineral veins and shops.

"Hmm, over the past twenty years, Xingyang has performed very well. The next twenty years are the decades of our family’s vigorous development."

"And the candidate for the new family head is Qingxuan."

At this time, Lu Changsheng lightly taps the armrest with his fingers, looking at his son Lu Qingxuan.

The Lu Family disciples were already aware of Lu Qingxuan taking the role of family head, with no dissent.

On one hand, many are not interested in the position of family head.

On the other, since Lu Changsheng designated it, who would dare have opinions?

Moreover, Lu Qingxuan, as the son of Lu Miaoge, with a gentle and respectful demeanor, cared for by Lu Ping’an, Lu Ruyi, Lu Wangshu, Lu Qingsong, and others, and highly esteemed among his peers, is very suitable for the family head role.

"Xuan’er, share the family’s plan for the next five years."

Lu Changsheng said to his son Lu Qingxuan.

The main arrangement ahead involves establishing a branch in the Imperial Spirit Sect’s Domain.

After all, with so many family members reaching Foundation Establishment, they cannot be kept at home; they need to be sent out.

This is not only for family development but also a necessary path for the growth of children!

Otherwise, these children at home, ninety percent have no hope of reaching Nascent Soul.

"Yes, Father."

Lu Qingxuan, in a cyan brocade robe, with a handsome appearance, showed no signs of nervousness, bowed respectfully, and then faced the other Lu Family disciples with a smiling, gentle demeanor, explaining the upcoming matters.

Lu Changsheng simply watched quietly in face of this.

After most matters were decided, he took Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, and others and directly left.

After all, as long as family affairs are not in big trouble, he is lazy over managing them.

This time he came, just to follow the process and direct the situation.

...

"Yun’er, with Xuan’er becoming the family head, you can show more concern and guidance occasionally."

Lu Changsheng said to his wife Lu Miaoyun.

Although he does not manage family matters, there are still many things that require his decision.

These matters are directly entrusted to Lu Miaoyun.

Thus, during Lu Yun and Lu Xingyang’s time as family head, they would periodically report to Lu Miaoyun.

If Lu Miaoyun was uncertain, she would send him messages.

With Lu Qingxuan as family head, this process would continue.

"Rest assured, husband, Xuan’er has handled family affairs with Xingyang over the past two years in an orderly manner."

Lu Miaoyun, in a blue skirt, with a fresh and elegant appearance, said with a smile.

Lu Miaoge often engaged in closed-door cultivation, so Lu Qingxuan was mostly raised and cared for by her, almost treating him as her own son, with much affection.

"Yun’er, don’t pamper him too much."

Lu Miaoge knows that Lu Miaoyun treasures her son more than herself.

"Sister Miaoge, relax."

Lu Miaoyun, intimately clinging to her sister’s jade arm, said kindly.

After chatting with the women for a while, Lu Changsheng expressed his intention to enter closed-door cultivation next and went with Hong Lian to the Refining Hall.
