Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1575 Family Rectification
Seeing his son-in-law Liu Changxu deep in thought, Gao He picked up the teacup in front of him and began to savor the celestial tea.

After a moment's thought, Liu Changxu rejected the idea of ​​joining the Ziyang Immortal Sect.

The reason is simple: the Ziyang Immortal Sect was founded by the Ziyang Ancestor, and all the disciples in the sect are his disciples and grand-disciples. Even if I join, the actual benefits I can get are quite limited. On the contrary, it is easy to add a lot of constraints. No matter how you look at it, it is not worth it.

As for the external pressures that might arise from starting their own business, Liu Changxu scoffed at them.

Currently, the Cloud Mountain he occupies is only a ninth-grade high-quality spiritual vein, but it does not have any rare immortal mineral veins that would make other Taiyi Golden Immortals or higher covet it.

Without sufficient incentive, no one would easily antagonize a Taiyi Golden Immortal like him. Therefore, in the short term, the external pressure he would face in establishing his own power base would not be too great, and he would not need to rush to find a patron.

Moreover, so-called "backers" are not necessarily reliable. Although the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty and the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty had the Ziyang Immortal Sect as their backer, the Ziyang Immortal Sect did not provide timely assistance when they faced life-or-death crises. It is clear that in times of crisis, one can ultimately rely on one's own strength.

Having figured this out, Liu Changxu spoke:

“Father-in-law, this matter is of great importance. Please allow me to consider it carefully again.”

Upon hearing this, Gao He laughed and said:
“My dear son-in-law, I am merely offering a reminder. Ultimately, the decision is yours. But please rest assured, whatever you choose, I and the entire Great Qi Dynasty will stand by your side.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Changxu immediately understood: his father-in-law was intentionally entrusting him and the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty to him, regarding him as a reliable superior sect; of course, it could also be a hedging move.

To be honest, Liu Changxu didn't care much about whether the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty and the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty pledged allegiance to him, because the benefits these two great immortal dynasties could bring him were very limited.

It was only because his six wives all came from these two great immortal dynasties that, even if he was unwilling, he had to lend a hand when his wives needed him, out of consideration for their reputation.

Next, the father-in-law and son-in-law had a long chat. That noon, Liu Changxu also hosted a small family banquet in the banquet hall, specifically to entertain his father-in-law.

In an exquisite and luxurious private room in the banquet hall, Liu Changxu, his wife Gao Xin, his father-in-law Gao He, and his thirty-fourth son Liu Fujian sat around a beautiful white jade table, enjoying the delicious food on the table together.

Liu Fujian, who is already twenty-six years old, is Liu Changxu's eldest son in the Immortal Realm. He is not only the most valued, but also receives the most cultivation resources. In addition, with his excellent aptitude of golden spiritual root and his own unremitting efforts, he has now advanced to the early stage of golden core. Among Liu Changxu's children, he is one of the fastest progressing ones.

As Liu Fujian was Liu Changxu's eldest son in the immortal realm, and given his calm and composed nature, he gained ample experience by helping his mother Gao Xin handle clan affairs, and thus earned high prestige among his younger siblings.

At the banquet, Gao He, the father-in-law, and Liu Fujian, grandfather and grandson, chatted amiably, their conversation filled with affection. They discussed their cultivation insights and recounted amusing anecdotes from the immortal realm. Their warm and harmonious atmosphere seemed even closer than that of an ordinary grandfather and grandson, making Liu Changxu, watching from the side, feel a pang of jealousy. What Liu Changxu didn't know was that it was precisely because he had so many wives, concubines, and children, coupled with his years of seclusion to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, that while his children deeply respected him as their father, their affection for him was not as strong as for their mother, and even less so than for their maternal grandparents.

Of course, in order to win over their son-in-law Liu Changxu, the maternal grandparents, including Gao He, also invested a great deal of resources and energy into their grandchildren's cultivation, no less than Liu Changxu, the father.

In particular, during the years that Liu Changxu was in seclusion to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, the rivalry between his six wives had reached a fever pitch, which also strained the relationships between his children, leading to constant minor conflicts. This greatly affected the children's feelings towards their father.

Liu Changxu, who had already attained the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, quickly discerned the root of the problem from his son's words and actions. Combining this with what he had seen and heard since emerging from seclusion, he realized that due to his long-term absence, although the family appeared calm on the surface, undercurrents were surging beneath, and if not addressed, major chaos was inevitable. Therefore, he decided to thoroughly rectify the family's conduct in the coming period.

After lunch, Gao He, the father-in-law, happily took his leave. With the promise of his son-in-law, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty was basically secure.

After seeing off his father-in-law Gao He, Liu Changxu focused his attention on improving the atmosphere at home.

However, he did not launch a large-scale rectification campaign. Instead, he chose a subtle and gradual approach, quietly addressing the issues in everyday life. This approach avoided causing unnecessary upheaval while fundamentally resolving the underlying problems.

First, he would personally punish these seemingly gentle but actually disobedient women every night until they deeply realized their mistakes and were determined to correct them.

Next, Liu Changxu, taking into account the individual characteristics and wishes of his wife and children as well as the actual situation of the family, readjusted the division of responsibilities for internal family affairs to ensure that everyone had specific tasks to do and could obtain stable benefits, thereby reducing conflicts and disputes caused by unfair distribution of benefits at the root.

In addition, Liu Changxu also arranged a series of unique trials under the guise of improving the cultivation level of his family members. Although these trials were challenging, they effectively forced everyone to put aside their differences and actively cooperate, subtly enhancing their mutual understanding and cohesion in the process of overcoming difficulties together.

After Liu Changxu's reorganization and rectification, the atmosphere within the Liu family was completely transformed in just six months.

His women were all radiant and full of energy, and their relationships had greatly improved. While the underhanded scheming of the past had not completely disappeared, it was now extremely rare.

The children are very close and get along well. The whole house is filled with laughter and joy, and exudes a vibrant and energetic atmosphere, a scene of family harmony and prosperity.

During this period, the patriarch of the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty also came to visit, with the same purpose as his father-in-law Gao He: to express his willingness to align himself with Liu Changxu.

However, the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty suffered relatively few losses of high-end combat power in the recent Blood God Cult rebellion, and its internal situation was relatively stable. Therefore, its demands were not as urgent as those of its father-in-law, Gao He. Compared to the pressing predicament faced by the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty, the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty hoped to consolidate its position in the region through its alliance with the Liu family and did not make any overly urgent requests for assistance.
