Seven days later, Uncle Fu came to inform Lu Changsheng that Qingzhu Valley had been arranged for them, and they could move there to live at any time.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately began to move.
However, having lived here for over two years, and with nine wives and concubines and seven children, naturally, he had accumulated quite a few belongings.
Looking at so many items, Lu Changsheng felt somewhat of a headache for a moment.
“Hehe, the Family Head had anticipated that moving would be troublesome for you.”
“This is a Storage Bag, a reward from the Family Head to you, saying that as a Talisman Master, you should have a Storage Bag, which makes things much more convenient.”
Uncle Fu took out a pitch-black leather bag and handed it to Lu Changsheng, saying.
“A Storage Bag!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s eyes lit up.
Because he was hiding many talismans, he had long thought of buying a Storage Bag to keep them in.
But when he inquired at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, even the cheapest Storage Bag cost fifty Spirit Stones.
Even though he got five Spirit Stones a month, spending fifty Spirit Stones to buy a Storage Bag still pained him, so he didn’t buy one in the end.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Fu now said that the Family Head was rewarding him with one.
“Thank you, Uncle Fu, thank you, Family Head!”
Lu Changsheng immediately expressed his thanks.
It seemed that having a skill was indeed valued; now that he had become a Talisman Master, the Lu Family was much more generous with him.
“Hehe, as long as you work hard for the Lu Family, we will never treat our own people unfairly.”
Uncle Fu said with a chuckle.
Then, taking the bag, he continued: “You must have never used a Storage Bag before, let me show you.”
“Just aim the opening at the item you want to put inside, then inject a strand of Spiritual Power into the bag, lock onto the item, and it will be automatically sucked in!”
Having said that, he aimed the opening at a chair near a table, and sent in a strand of Spiritual Power.
Immediately, a beam of white light shot out from the bag, enveloping the chair and causing it to rapidly shrink before being sucked into the bag.
“This is how to store it, and it’s the same when taking items out. Just lock the item you want to take out from the Storage Bag with Spiritual Power beforehand.”
As he spoke, another beam of white light shot out and the chair that had been stored flew out, returning to its original size.
Watching this, Lu Changsheng was both amazed and delighted, feeling that having such a Storage Bag was incredibly convenient.
“Alright, you can take it and use it.”
Seeing the excitement in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, Uncle Fu handed over the Storage Bag to him.
“However, there are a few precautions when using a Storage Bag that you should be aware of.”
“First, this Storage Bag only has a space of one cubic meter, and it can only shrink objects tenfold.”
“Therefore, if the object is too huge, or if you store too many items inside, the Storage Bag will become ineffective.”
“Later, for large items like beds and tables, you don’t need to put them in, as the villa in Qingzhu Valley is fully furnished.”
“Second, the Storage Bag cannot contain living creatures; if you put living people or animals inside, they will surely die.”
“So never try it on children.”
“The third is to not flaunt wealth!”
“This kind of Storage Bag does not have an owner-recognition function. If it gets stolen, anyone can claim the contents as their own, so when you go out, try not to reveal your Storage Bag in front of other cultivators, otherwise it may attract deadly misfortune.”
Uncle Fu spoke, his tone serious, as he instructed and advised Lu Changsheng.
“Yes, Uncle Fu, I will definitely remember.”
Lu Changsheng nodded his head, firmly imprinting these words in his mind.
Immediately after, he took the Storage Bag and began moving.
He stored all the scattered talismans from the study’s cabinets and all the other items he needed to bring with him into the Storage Bag.
Suddenly, the originally troublesome move became much simpler.
In a short while, he had packed all his belongings.
Considering that Lu Changsheng’s wives and concubines were mostly pregnant and he had so many children, Uncle Fu also arranged for a horse carriage to be waiting at the door.
He had all the women and children sit in the carriage. Seeing Li Feiyu, who had come to see him off, Lu Changsheng approached with a smile and said, “Feiyu, I won’t be able to drop by casually from now on, but don’t worry, I’ll still come to bother you when I have time.”
“If you ever need anything, feel free to look for me anytime. You know our relationship, there’s no need for me to say more, right?” Lu Changsheng said warmly, patting Li Feiyu on the back.
The life-saving grace from before, coupled with the friendship they had built over these two years, had made Lu Changsheng consider Li Feiyu a true friend and a good brother.
“Sure, I know what kind of person you are. We’re both grown men, there’s nothing much to say. Go on, it’s not like you’re going far.”
Li Feiyu laughed and waved his hand dismissively, looking carefree.
Right away, Lu Changsheng got on the carriage, and together with Uncle Fu, they drove towards Qingzhu Valley.
Watching the departing carriage, Li Feiyu couldn’t help but sigh softly, a hint of envy in his eyes, before returning to his room to resume his cultivation.
“Uncle Fu, Lu Changsheng!”
“Uncle Fu, Brother Changsheng!”
“`
“Changsheng bro, moving house?”
Along the road, someone noticed Uncle Fu and Lu Changsheng on the carriage and called out a greeting, their eyes filled with envy.
A young girl caught sight of Lu Changsheng on the carriage and was momentarily lost in thought, then headed towards the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
…
It wasn’t far from Qingzhu Villa to Qingzhu Valley.
The carriage gently moved along for half an hour before Uncle Fu stopped it and said to Lu Changsheng,
“This is Qingzhu Valley. However, it’s protected by a formation. To enter, you must present the identity plaque I gave you.”
So said Uncle Fu.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng looked closely and noticed a layer of nearly invisible transparent ripples in front of them.
He had seen a similar formation when he first entered Qingzhu Mountain.
He hadn’t expected there to be another layer of formation inside the Lu Family.
Then, Uncle Fu took out the identity plaque and drove the carriage through the transparent ripples.
The scene inside Qingzhu Valley was somewhat similar to the outside.
As for the difference, the Qingzhu bamboo here was much taller and sturdier compared to the bamboo spreading across the hills outside.
And there were even some distinctly visible, jade-green bamboo.
The air was rich with spiritual energy, faintly carrying the sense of celestial mist.
From a distance, one could also see terraced fields where spiritual grains, vegetables, and medicines were cultivated.
“Is this Qingzhu Valley?”
Lu Changsheng surveyed the surroundings with some curiosity and asked.
“Yes, this is the core region of Qingzhu Mountain, Qingzhu Valley, with a Second Grade Spirit Vein underneath.”
“Living here will make your cultivation efforts much more effective, and if your wives, concubines, and children live here long term, they too will benefit from stronger bodies and longer lives,” explained Uncle Fu with a chuckle, then continued to drive the carriage forward, stopping in front of a manor.
“This will be your residence.”
Pointing to the manor, Uncle Fu told Lu Changsheng.
“This big?”
Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised looking at the manor before him.
The manor was many times larger than his previous private courtyard, sprawling across five or six acres at a glance.
“Of course, coming here, the conditions naturally differ from those at Qingzhu Villa.”
“Not only is the manor large and beautifully situated, but it also benefits from soundproofing and spirit-gathering formation effects,” Uncle Fu continued to explain.
Then the wives and concubines from the carriage disembarked one after another, and upon seeing the manor, they too were so astonished that their mouths hung open.
Their previous lives had been in the secular world, where they never had living conditions this lavish.
Everyone entered the manor.
Inside, each building was constructed with an impressive grandeur.
Pavilions, towers, winding corridors, rockeries, and ponds made Lu Changsheng feel as though he had entered a prince’s mansion from his past life, luxurious and magnificent.
Moreover, the misty spiritual energy in the air gave the manor the feel of a fairyland on earth.
“Tsk tsk tsk, even a residence for someone in the Qi Refinement Realm is this nice; I wonder how luxurious the living quarters for a Foundation Building Great Cultivator or a Nascent Soul Immortal must be,” Lu Changsheng marveled as he watched the swaying bamboo, lush flowers and trees, and goldfish frolicking in the pond, unable to help his admiration.
He was extremely pleased with this residence.
Even though he had begun cultivation and was now a cultivator, Lu Changsheng still felt he was a commoner at heart.
“You can take care of moving your things later. First, I’ll show you around Qingzhu Valley,” said Uncle Fu, after letting the family into the manor, to Lu Changsheng.
“It’s different here than at Qingzhu Villa, everyone lives in their own residence and rarely disturbs each other, so there are some things I need to make you aware of.”
Uncle Fu took Lu Changsheng on a tour around Qingzhu Valley.
He told him about the taboos and which places to stay away from.
Because those living here were mainly high-ranking officials of the Lu Family, Guest Elders, and core members of the direct lineage.
Here, there were none of the shops like the Hundred Treasures Pavilion because there weren’t many residents with such needs.
Thus, if one needed to buy something, they had to go back to Qingzhu Villa.
However, on the first of every month, Qingzhu Valley would host a small-scale trade fair.
Family members, and even some Guest Elders, would bring out some of their spare belongings to set up stalls and trade.
After showing Lu Changsheng around and imparting most things, Uncle Fu then left.
And Lu Changsheng returned to his new abode.
On this day, Lu Changsheng officially took up residence in the core region of the Lu Family, Qingzhu Valley.
