Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2006: 527:

Shen Yiren escorted Lu Changsheng into the inner regions of the Goddess Palace, where he could pick a Spirit Vein Cave Mansion.

The several Fourth Rank Top Level Spirit Vein Cave Mansions close to Shen Jianjia, including the one where Shen Yiren lives, were already taken, leading Lu Changsheng to opt for a more isolated small island in pursuit of peace.

"Rongyue Island has remained unoccupied for numerous years. These days, aside from the cultivated Spirit Field and Spiritual Medicines, hardly anyone tends to it."

"Once the identity formalities are completed, I’ll arrange for Granny Ma to send over some disciples for you to pick as stewards and servants."

For someone like Lu Changsheng, a Core Formation Great Master, the Spirit Vein Cave Mansion provided by the Goddess Palace includes a whole mountain peak or island.

This space serves not just for everyday cultivation but also for establishing a Spirit Field, a Medicine Field, and perhaps rearing some Spiritual Beasts.

Therefore, under these circumstances, the Goddess Palace supplies certain disciples to act as stewards and servants, assisting with minor chores.

"Thank you, Third Palace Master."

Right away, Lu Changsheng and Shen Yiren went to examine Rongyue Island.

The whole island stretches across three or four kilometers, adorned with towering silver maple trees. Its overall hue is a soft milky white, merging seamlessly with the moonlight during nights, which is why it's called Rongyue Island.

"Greetings, Third Palace Master, greetings Elder Xuanmu!"

With Shen Yiren leading the way, Lu Changsheng took a quick tour of the island. Every cultivator there was aware that a late-stage Core Formation Honorary Elder had arrived!

All gazed upon Lu Changsheng with profound reverence.

Once he decided on a dwelling, Shen Yiren accompanied Lu Changsheng to obtain his identity token, explaining the Goddess Palace's setup and suggesting a number of Deacon Elders from the palace.

Yet, once cultivators achieve the Core Formation realm, they typically focus on secluded cultivation or handle various duties, meaning that daily in the Goddess Palace—even with Shen Yiren—only Third Rank Late Stage Core Formation cultivators are on duty.

"Today has indeed caused much inconvenience to the Third Palace Master; after I get settled, I'll prepare a banquet and cook myself to show my appreciation."

As their duties wrapped up, darkness had fallen. Lu Changsheng offered a warm smile to the nearby Shen Yiren.

From their exchanges throughout the day, the pair had grown naturally more acquainted and intimate.

So Lu Changsheng chose to convey his gratitude not with presents, but through hosting a feast and personally cooking to strengthen their bond.

Although his Spirit Chef abilities reach just Second Rank Top Level.

Apart from dedicated Third Rank Spirit Chefs, this proficiency proves more than adequate.

Showing off Third Rank Spirit Chef talents would simply be overkill.

"Daoist Xuanmu also excels in preparing Spirit Meals?"

Shen Yiren remarked in astonishment, her lovely eyes widening.

While the Spirit Chef path is vast, few advanced cultivators invest effort into it.

Even she had only dabbled in it during idle moments, developing a gradual fascination to refine her demeanor.

"The Third Palace Master is teasing."

Lu Changsheng quickly replied: "Back in my younger days, while pursuing Demon Beasts in the wilds to sate my hunger, I devoted some effort to it, and afterward, it helped temper my disposition. Unlike the fine dishes from renowned eateries, Third Palace Master, please overlook the simplicity of my cooking."

"Why would I mind? I am eagerly anticipating tasting Daoist’s handiwork."

Shen Yiren let out a gentle laugh, her beautiful eyes gleaming. She displayed keen curiosity about Lu Changsheng’s cooking prowess, keen to sample his dishes.

Upon bidding farewell to Shen Yiren, Lu Changsheng made his way back to the Cave Mansion on Rongyue Island.

As for the grand formation covering the island, he had no desire to redesign it.

Instead, he retrieved a Third Rank Formation set from his Storage Ring to shield the Cave Mansion vicinity, safeguarding his personal space from unwanted eyes.

Nevertheless, thanks to his Nascent Soul Level Soul and Qian Zhuyan watching over the place, intruders rarely penetrated the Cave Mansion’s secrets anyway.

With the formation in place, Lu Changsheng freed Qian Zhuyan from the Spiritual Pet Bag, instructing her to remain at home and enhance the puppet.

Two weeks afterward, Granny Ma delivered a roster, allowing Lu Changsheng to choose individuals for roles like stewards, servants, or disciples.

Though the Goddess Palace bears the Goddess title, it does not limit recruitment to women alone.

In terms of proportions, female cultivators make up over seventy percent.

Still, the majority on the list consisted of female cultivators, including just a handful of males.

Lu Changsheng reviewed the list; for every disciple, it featured comprehensive details along with portraits of their looks.

It evoked memories of his initial visits to the White Jade Tower.

After all, sending numerous female disciples from the Goddess Palace to serve as stewards or disciples, Lu Changsheng couldn't shake the suspicion of hidden intentions.

However, for these Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment disciples possessing middling aptitudes, serving as steward, servant, or disciple to a late-stage Core Formation Honorary Elder represented a golden chance.

"Hmm!?"

In that instant, spotting a disciple by the name of "Song Yudie" on the list, Lu Changsheng felt an odd sensation surge within him, a compelling urge.

"Song Yudie, Inner Sect disciple of the Goddess Palace, daughter of a concubine from the Song Family on Penglai Island, Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, cultivation at Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment..."

Lu Changsheng scrutinized Song Yudie’s profile, detecting nothing out of the ordinary.

Yet, guided by the Third Rank Top Level divination instinct, this young woman was undoubtedly exceptional.

"I'll take this one, then,"

Lu Changsheng informed Granny Ma.

She cast a look at Song Yudie, gave a subtle nod, and inquired with mild astonishment, "Elder Xuanmu doesn't wish to pick a few others, interview them, and select some servants or maids?"

"No need; the island already has staff, so one steward suffices."

Lu Changsheng answered with a gentle smile, his manner polite and refined.

This Granny Ma, being a Goddess Palace elder at Core Formation Stage, earned Lu Changsheng's considerable deference.

Granny Ma, upon hearing this, didn't press further, noted that personnel would arrive soon, and offered direct contact if anything else was required.

Once Granny Ma departed, Lu Changsheng divined Song Yudie’s fate but discerned neither ill nor fortunate omens.
