Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2032: 537

Though Lu Changsheng truly yearned to confess his desire for the Third Palace Master, the Great Palace Master was obviously dead serious.

After a quick moment of reflection, he clasped his hands and stated, "Aside from the Nascent Soul opportunity and the Infant Transformation Elixir, I harbor no other wishes."

"Thus, I ask the Great Palace Master to share intelligence on the Infant Transformation Elixir and grant me a chance."

From what Shen Yiren had shared, the Infant Transformation Elixir remained scarce even in the Starry Sky Sea, rarely hitting the open market.

Should it surface at all, it would only be at Nascent Soul gatherings or exclusive trade meets.

Being the Goddess Palace leader, Shen Jianjia likely possessed access to such vital channels.

Moreover, the top Alchemist from the Dan Alliance had long admired this Great Palace Master!

"The Infant Transformation Elixir..."

For a figure like Lu Changsheng, Shen Jianjia understood perfectly that nothing surpassed the value of the Infant Transformation Elixir.

"The Nine Curves Spirit Pill may prove difficult, yet it lies within reach."

The resplendent palace gown draped over Shen Jianjia's stunning, elegant form like a cascading starry river, her porcelain skin glowing with divine radiance, evoking the image of a Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady who had strayed into the mortal realm, her beauty defying earthly bounds.

"Damn, just more vague assurances..."

Lu Changsheng felt a bit exasperated by this exceptional Great Palace Master.

During their initial encounter, before he formally joined the Goddess Palace, she had already dangled lofty promises.

Now, after showcasing his prowess, she dangled the Nine Curves Spirit Pill and Infant Transformation Elixir leads as lures to bind him.

"Many thanks, Great Palace Master!"

Lu Changsheng promptly bowed with evident delight.

"Elder, such formality is unnecessary."

Shen Jianjia went on, "The Star Sea's Forty Thieves hold strong connections with certain Starry Sky Sea factions. Since Elder Xuanmu deployed a Fourth Rank Puppet to seize the Desert Sea Crocodile God, they might now eye you—stay vigilant and refrain from venturing beyond Penglai Island to evade traps."

"The Forty Thieves of the Star Sea..."

By sparing the Ghost Ship True Man and You Ying earlier, Lu Changsheng had anticipated backlash from the Star Sea bandits.

Yet, this didn't faze him; he even pondered leveraging it to lure chances, plundering the wealthy to bolster the needy.

After all, at this cultivation stage, all pursued Nascent Soul preparations, amassing relevant materials.

Should he eradicate the Star Sea's Forty Thieves, securing a full Infant Transformation Elixir might elude him, but collecting most ingredients seemed feasible.

Naturally, Lu Changsheng merely contemplated this idly.

Shen Jianjia's warning revealed ties between the Forty Thieves and elite Starry Sky Sea forces.

Fishing in those waters could rouse a Nascent Soul True Lord, rendering such risks unwise.

"Fear not, Great Palace Master; I shall proceed with utmost caution. In truth, I mostly focus on cultivation and talismanic arts research, seldom stepping out."

With hands cupped, Lu Changsheng replied without a trace of alarm.

"Mm."

Shen Jianjia was aware that beyond the Fourth Rank Puppet and Third Rank Talisman Formation, Lu Changsheng wielded Third Rank Divination Master abilities.

Ambushing a Divination Master proved exceedingly hard.

It demanded meticulous prior setups and layered schemes!

Given his arsenal of techniques, and lacking backing from a Nascent Soul sect, forcing him to hunt opportunities solo, she found it astonishing.

At the same time, she recognized him as supreme talent, unparalleled!

Were he to pledge full loyalty to her Goddess Palace, their grip on Penglai Island would tighten further.

This thought prompted a glance toward her sister.

Lu Changsheng's prior actions betrayed clear fascination with her sibling.

Still, as Goddess Palace chief, she refused to pawn off her sister for allegiance.

Besides, she knew a man like Lu Changsheng wouldn't bend easily to feminine charms.

His overtures to her sister could simply be a ploy, exploiting her to ascend the Goddess Palace ladder for Infant Transformation Elixir and elite Nascent Soul assets!

That said, should her sister consent, the elder sibling wouldn't obstruct.

She possessed the confidence to shield her fully!

After a few more directives, Shen Jianjia and Shen Yiren departed.

As the twin flower-like sisters glided away with ethereal grace, Lu Changsheng let out a heavy breath.

Preserving his refined poise before such captivating sisters demanded real effort.

In that instant, a wave of homesickness washed over Lu Changsheng.

"Never mind, time to inspect the spoils."

Shaking his head, Lu Changsheng dispelled the seals on the Desert Sea Crocodile God’s storage pouch and ring.

His Divine Sense swept through, instantly cataloging every treasure.

"As expected, high-realm cultivators stockpile Nascent Soul assets one way or another..."

Lu Changsheng uncovered a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item alongside auxiliary herbs for Infant Transformation Elixir refinement.

Even as mere adjuncts, these herbs held immense worth.

Additionally, a Superior Grade Treasure, two Middle Grade Magical Treasures, a Third Rank Lower Grade Puppet, plus various Elixir Medicines, talismans, and scant spirit materials filled the rest.

Lu Changsheng figured this foe stashed greater wealth elsewhere; otherwise, these spoils scarcely matched the Forty Thieves of the Star Sea's infamous repute.

Still, knowing such experts maintained secret lairs aplenty, this haul proved bountiful.

Once organized, Lu Changsheng intended to pass dubious tokens and oddities to Shen Yiren later.

Concurrently, he'd inquire if they sought to repurchase the valuables.

With so much ill-gotten loot, direct handling posed issues.

Far wiser to trade for Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, fueling his clan's growth.

...

After lingering another half-month in Penglai Immortal City till the auction frenzy and rogue cultivator unrest subsided, Lu Changsheng withdrew to Rongyue Island for secluded cultivation.
