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

Shen Yiren led Lu Changsheng into the inner sanctums of the Goddess Palace to pick out a Spirit Vein Cave Mansion.

Around Shen Jianjia's vicinity, the handful of Fourth Rank Top Level Spirit Vein Cave Mansions that Shen Yiren calls home were all taken, so Lu Changsheng opted for a somewhat isolated little island, desiring peace and quiet.

"Rongyue Island has remained unoccupied for countless 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 a few disciples for you to pick as stewards and servants."

For someone at the Core Formation Great Master level like Lu Changsheng, 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 even keeping some Spiritual Beasts.

In light of that, 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 check out Rongyue Island.

The whole island stretches across three to four kilometers, covered in towering silver maple trees. In general, it appears milky white, merging seamlessly with the moonlight during the night, 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 of them regarded Lu Changsheng with deep reverence.

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

That said, after achieving Core Formation, most cultivators dive into secluded cultivation or handle various duties, so typically within the Goddess Palace, including alongside Shen Yiren, only Third Rank Late Stage Core Formation experts are on duty.

"Today has been quite a bother for the Third Palace Master; after I get settled, I'll throw a feast and prepare some dishes to show my appreciation."

With their errands done, darkness had fallen. Lu Changsheng grinned at the nearby Shen Yiren.

From their exchanges that day, the pair had grown more at ease and intimate with each other.

As such, Lu Changsheng chose to convey his gratitude not with presents but by hosting a banquet and cooking, aiming to strengthen their bond.

Despite his Spirit Chef abilities being merely Second Rank Top Level.

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

Revealing Third Rank Spirit Chef talents would simply be too much.

"Is Daoist Xuanmu also proficient in Spirit Meals?"

Shen Yiren remarked in astonishment, her stunning eyes widening.

While the Spirit Chef path is rather expansive, few advanced cultivators invest effort there.

Even she had only dabbled in it idly at first, developing a liking over time to refine her disposition.

"The Third Palace Master is teasing."

Lu Changsheng replied promptly: "Back in the days when I ventured out to hunt Demon Beasts, to indulge my tastes, I devoted a bit of time to it, and afterward, it helped temper my mindset. Compared to the fine foods from external mountains, I hope the Third Palace Master won't disdain my humble cooking."

"Why would I? This lady eagerly awaits tasting Daoist's handiwork."

Shen Yiren let out a light laugh, her lovely eyes gleaming. She displayed greater curiosity about Lu Changsheng's cooking prowess, keen to sample his creations.

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

As for the major formation across the island, he had no desire to overhaul it.

He merely retrieved a Third Rank Formation set from his Storage Ring to shield the Cave Mansion zone, guarding against any prying into his personal space.

Nevertheless, thanks to his Nascent Soul Level Soul and Qian Zhuyan watching over the place, generally, nobody could breach the privacy of his Cave Mansion.

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

Half a month passed before Granny Ma delivered a roster, allowing Lu Changsheng to choose individuals as stewards, servants, or disciples.

Though the Goddess Palace bears the Goddess title, it doesn't limit itself to female recruits alone.

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

Yet, the majority on the list consisted of female cultivators, with just a handful of males.

Lu Changsheng reviewed the list; each entry featured thorough details along with portraits of their looks.

It reminded him of those initial visits to the White Jade Tower.

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

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

"Hmm!?"

Suddenly, as Lu Changsheng spotted a disciple called "Song Yudie" on the list, a strange sensation welled up inside him, an abrupt 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, Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation level..."

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

But relying on the Third Rank Top Level divination impulse, this young woman was surely exceptional.

"This one, then,"

Lu Changsheng informed Granny Ma.

She took a look at Song Yudie, gave a slight nod, and inquired with mild surprise, "Does Elder Xuanmu not 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 smilingly, his voice polite and warm.

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

Hearing this, Granny Ma didn't press further, noting that arrangements would be made for someone to arrive soon, and he could reach out to her for any requirements.

Once Granny Ma departed, Lu Changsheng divined Song Yudie's fate but discerned no ill or favorable omens.
