Longevity: Building A Tiandao Family From The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Lu Changfeng bowed his fist again to express his gratitude.

Chen Xiaoliu in the shop brought over the things Lu Changfeng needed and respectfully said, "Master Lu, you spent a total of three thousand spirit stones."

A Rank Four talisman is worth forty-five low-grade spirit stones.

Lu Changfeng was about to make up for the more than seven hundred spirit stones he owed.

Bai, the shopkeeper, waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you don't need to give the remaining spirit stones. You are our valued customer, and it's only right to offer discounted goods."

Lu Changfeng handed over the spirit stones again and smiled, "No wonder Manager Shi can become the head of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. The essence of doing business is truly extraordinary."

After Lu Changfeng left.

Manager Shi went to the Chen family and told the patriarch about Lu Changfeng's promotion to First Grade Rank Four.

The Chen family patriarch sighed and said, "What a pity! What a pity! With his talent as a talisman master, it's no wonder he doesn't look at my daughter. If he marries Qingling and with my help, he might become a Second Grade talisman master. Even if I pass away in a few years, no one in the Chen family would dare to provoke us."

Manager Shi bowed respectfully and said, "Patriarch, I suggest not to provoke such a genius but to establish a deep relationship with him. If the Chen family encounters any difficulties in the future, perhaps Master Lu can help."

The Chen family patriarch nodded and said, "You make a valid point. I will order the Chen family's disciples not to provoke Lu Changfeng."

Manager Shi continued, "Patriarch, I trust the other disciples of the Chen family, but I'm worried about Miss Qingling. Her temperament is proud. After Lu Changfeng rejected this marriage, she will definitely seek revenge. I'm afraid she won't listen to advice and will insist on her own way."

The Chen family patriarch sighed heavily and said, "This child has been spoiled by me, she's willful and unruly. Don't worry, I will specifically instruct Qingling."

"Very well, I will take my leave now."

"Clap clap clap..."

Chen Qingling had just been summoned by the Chen family patriarch to the palace and was furious.

Her face was cold, and she was vigorously whipping a beautiful maid in her hand to vent her anger.

When the beautiful maid was beaten to the point of being covered in injuries and barely breathing, Chen Qingling angrily said, "What is Lu Changfeng? My father has never spoken to me in such a tone. Rongyi, help me kill Lu Changfeng and bring her partner in front of me. I want to cut her face into pieces, strip her naked, and throw her into the beggar's den."

In the courtyard, a graceful and beautiful woman with a cold aura, dressed in black, said coldly, "Miss, the patriarch just instructed me. If you cause trouble for Lu Changfeng, don't blame me for locking you up."

Chen Qingling was furious, her eyes filled with coldness. "Rongyi, how dare you not obey my orders? Am I still your mistress?"

The black-clad beauty had no expression on her face and said, "I only have one mistress, and that is the patriarch."

Chen Qingling's eyes showed no warmth. "Fine, since you dare not kill Lu Changfeng, I will personally kill him."

Suddenly, a black whip appeared in the hands of the black-clad beauty. "Miss, please don't make it difficult for me."

Seeing the black whip in the hands of the black-clad beauty, Chen Qingling's anger surged, and she ruthlessly whipped the motionless beautiful maid on the ground to death, her eyes filled with malice.

"Madam, I'm back."

Lu Changfeng laughed loudly.

Bai Yuerou gently helped Lu Changfeng with his clothes and said, "Husband, our neighbor Luo Tian came by earlier looking for you."

"Luo Tian."

Lu Changfeng thought of that aloof and indifferent young man and asked, "Why did he come to find me?"

"To borrow money!"

"Did you agree to lend him any?"

"No, as a virtuous woman, how could I agree to such a big matter? Besides, he was hesitant and couldn't give a reason for borrowing money."

"Then I'll go to his house now and ask why he needs to borrow money. We're neighbors, and if he's facing any difficulties, I'll definitely help if I can."

"Alright, I'll go prepare a bath for you while you're gone."

Lu Changfeng walked out and knocked on Luo Tian's door.

After a while, Luo Tian, looking haggard and pale, with disheveled hair, opened the door wide.

"Brother Lu."

Luo Tian didn't expect Lu Changfeng to come to his house personally and looked pleasantly surprised.

Lu Changfeng glanced at his house, which was covered in weeds everywhere, clearly not cleaned for a long time.

Luo Tian respectfully invited Lu Changfeng into the living room.

Lu Changfeng asked, "I just came back home and heard from your sister-in-law that you came to my house. Why do you need to borrow money? If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't lend you the money."

Luo Tian looked nervous and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Lu, I need to borrow money for my marriage. I've been childhood sweethearts with a girl from the town, and now that we've grown up, I want to marry her. However, her father demands a thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones as a dowry, and I can't afford that. After my parents passed away, they left me some property, but I've spent most of it over the years, and now I only have a little over five hundred spirit stones left. So, in desperation, I had to ask around for help."

"I've asked all my parents' friends and relatives, but they're unwilling to lend me spirit stones. So, I thought I'd try my luck and ask the neighbors nearby. Brother Lu, if you have any spirit stones, I beg you to lend me some. I promise to repay you double in the future."

Hearing this, Lu Changfeng furrowed his brows and said, "A thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones, your future father-in-law is really asking for a lot! Even an average Qi Refining seventh-level cultivator wouldn't be able to come up with that amount all at once. I think he deliberately doesn't want to marry his daughter to you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian's eyes filled with despair.

"However, helping a couple's marriage is worth more than a seventh-level pagoda. It's a great deed with immeasurable merit. I can lend you the spirit stones, but please repay me as soon as possible!"

Lu Changfeng laughed heartily.

With a wave of his hand, a pile of spirit stones appeared on the table.

Luo Tian opened his eyes wide, unable to believe it, and tears of gratitude flowed from his eyes. His voice trembled as he said, "Brother Lu, this is too much. I only need five hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones."

Lu Changfeng waved his hand and said, "You only have a little over five hundred spirit stones, and you need to give your future father-in-law a thousand. How will you manage the wedding expenses and future living expenses? Shouldn't you sell your house? Let the bride and you live in a slum together."

"This thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones, you keep them! Repay me when you have the spirit stones in the future."
