Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1996: 524: Dream Lover, 5 Core Formation Offspring! (Double-Length)

"Hmm, I will remain in Penglai Immortal City for some time, gather Nascent Soul resources, and investigate my disciple’s circumstances."

Though Lu Changsheng felt considerable urgency, he understood that such issues required patience and could not be forced.

"Should my sister emerge from her seclusion, I’ll inform Daoist Xuanmu right away. For any assistance, employ the VIP token to locate me at the Penglai Chamber of Commerce."

Shen Yiren’s conversation with Lu Changsheng remained brief.

Her visit mainly aimed to offer thanks, settle a debt, and assess Lu Changsheng’s current state.

Having met him, she had no reason to prolong her stay.

"Many thanks, Third Palace Master!"

While Lu Changsheng desired deeper interaction with the Third Palace Master to foster mutual interest, he recognized that haste would yield nothing.

During their initial encounter, displaying excessive enthusiasm could provoke her dissatisfaction.

Even though reports portrayed the Third Palace Master as straightforward, benevolent, and easygoing, such details demanded personal verification rather than blind acceptance. He had to judge for himself.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng accompanied Shen Yiren from the courtyard.

As she donned her veil and departed with elegant poise, her slim waist cinched by a verdant jade sash, her alluring form exuding grace and dignity, he noted how this Third Palace Master possessed a captivating maternal charm.

Yet, propriety dictated restraint; as a refined man, Lu Changsheng averted his eyes after a brief glance, returning to the courtyard once she vanished from sight.

"Public Administration Medical Skills..."

Lu Changsheng eyed the "Public Administration Medical Skills" upon the hall table, his gaze narrowing thoughtfully as he delved into contemplation.

In their exchange, Shen Yiren wasn’t the only one scrutinizing; Lu Changsheng too observed and evaluated the Third Palace Master closely.

Drawing from the gathered intel, her demeanor and the refined, unburdened aura surrounding her led Lu Changsheng to conclude that this Third Palace Master likely practiced a Life-Nurturing Method and excelled in healing arts.

Her subtle looks occasionally evoked the essence of an Inspection Technique, suggesting familiarity with Divination Techniques as well.

"Regrettably, unveiling my authentic visage proves challenging."

Lu Changsheng’s present guise, albeit striking and composed, revealed merely sixty to seventy percent of his genuine allure.

It failed to fully manifest the prowess of the Immortal Beauty Technique, Flawless Heavenly Fragrance Body, and Peach Blossom Gu.

Nevertheless, Lu Changsheng seldom activated the Flawless Heavenly Fragrance Body or Peach Blossom Gu influences.

The rationale was straightforward; their potency proved overwhelming.

Employing them would brand him as a seductive fiend, alerting advanced female cultivators to potential Secret Arts cultivation, ultimately backfiring.

A subtler approach, akin to gradual cultivation, suited him better.

"In due course, I can exchange insights on healing doctrines with this Third Palace Master."

Capturing a woman’s heart begins with earning her goodwill.

Though their debut meeting arrived unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng deemed his conduct satisfactory, probably imprinting a favorable mark.

Thus, the path forward involved aligning with her passions, sparking reciprocity, forging positive bonds, evolving into fondness, and ultimately securing a union.

"Beyond healing doctrines, topics like divination, pills, and charms could serve as conversation starters."

Uncertain of the Third Palace Master’s precise age, Lu Changsheng knew it surpassed youth.

Considering the Goddess Palace’s resources and the pair of Nascent Soul siblings, barring exceptional deficiency in the younger’s aptitude, Nascent Soul materials posed little concern.

Moreover, this Third Palace Master had attained Core Formation Pinnacle, her spiritual energy flowing with poise and harmony, betraying solid talent.

From this, Lu Changsheng drew an inference.

Apart from her cultivation pursuits, the Third Palace Master devoted considerable effort to auxiliary fields, like... Mystic Arts and the Hundred Paths of Cultivation!

She might leverage these abilities and aids to temper and fortify her Dao Heart, thereby boosting her odds of reaching Nascent Soul!

"Still, her two sisters pose a formidable challenge..."

Lu Ancestor experienced a subtle stir toward the gentle and enchanting Shen Yiren.

However, from his recent inquiries, the Great Palace Master and Second Palace Master of the Goddess Palace proved far from accommodating.

Their dispositions starkly contrasted this Third Palace Master’s.

Details on Great Palace Master Shen Jianjia remained scarce.

Merely eight phrases captured her: exalted beyond reach, impossible to behold!

Yet, as a woman upholding the Goddess Palace and ranking among the Starry Sky Sea’s elite cultivators, her power and tactics were self-evident.

Information on Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang abounded and sparked widespread awe upon review.

Ferocious, tempestuous, acting without regard for conventions, overbearing and willful, dubbed the "Rouge Tiger" and "Jade-faced Demon."

Her most notorious deed involved razing an entire island, eradicating factions that offended Penglai Island, and gravely wounding her spouse, Yuanwei True Monarch.

A female whose wrath eclipsed even that directed at her Dao Companion. Her volatile temperament shone for all to see.

To pair with this Third Palace Master, Lu Changsheng would need to navigate the scrutiny of these two sisters, a daunting endeavor.

Dismissing fanciful notions, Lu Changsheng grasped the "Public Administration Medical Skills" from the table and commenced perusal.

Despite mastering supreme Third Rank Pill Refining, grounded in the "Cauldron Medical King’s Scripture," boasting deep elixir and healing knowledge.

In forthcoming discussions on healing with the Third Palace Master, elements from this volume might prove useful.

For instance, drawing conversation from its contents, posing queries for advice, and extending ideas.

Thereafter, Lu Ancestor established himself in Penglai Immortal City, engaging in serene cultivation while awaiting updates from the Goddess Palace.

...

At the same time.

After briefing the Penglai Chamber of Commerce’s attendant briefly, Shen Yiren withdrew to the Goddess Palace, deploying the family’s spy network to probe details on "Zhao Wuzhen."

She then dispatched a note to her senior sister, Shen Jianjia, outlining the affairs of "Xuanmu Taoist."

As the Goddess Palace’s Great Palace Master and its actual sovereign, Shen Jianjia devoted most of her days to seclusion, emerging only sporadically.
