Chapter 129: A spirit was born, and two consecutive draws were drawn!

After Qu Zhenzhen and Lu Changsheng finished paying respects to her parents, Lu Changsheng returned to Ruyi Commandery City.

He stayed in Ruyi Commandery City for three days, spending time with his wives, concubines, and children, before leaving with Xia Zhiyue and Qu Zhenzhen.

He did not return to Qingzhu Mountain.

Instead, he headed directly to Jiulong Fangshi.

One reason was to avoid making an extra trip.

Another was that he still needed the flying boat later.

He needed to send the few maidservants and children in the market city to the secular world.

Five days later, the flying boat landed outside Jiulong Fangshi.

After obtaining temporary identification cards for the two women, Lu Changsheng entered the market city.

When he returned to Qingzhu Mountain, before he left, seven of the nine pregnant women had already given birth.

The remaining two were due to give birth in the next two months.

“I now have eighteen children with spiritual roots, I wonder if these two children will have spiritual roots as well.”

Lu Changsheng felt a sense of anticipation.

Both of these maidservants were purchased from Baiyu Tower and possessed ninth-grade spiritual roots.

Therefore, the children in their wombs had a high probability of having spiritual roots.

However, it would be difficult for both to have spiritual roots.

Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on it too much.

After settling Qu Zhenzhen and Xia Zhiyue, Lu Changsheng took Xia Zhiyue to the adjacent courtyard.

This was the courtyard where Xia Long had once lived.

He wanted his daughter to see her father’s former residence.

Looking at the empty, dusty courtyard, and thinking of her deceased father, Xia Zhiyue felt deeply sad and distressed, her eyes red.

Lu Changsheng, who always found such scenes difficult to bear, also sighed.

He could only comfort her as much as possible.

He let her call out for her father throughout the night, tearfully and mournfully, filling the emptiness in her heart.

The next day, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Lu family’s large courtyard in the East District.

He paid respects to the Second Elder, who had arrived earlier, and retook control of the Spiritual Talisman Shop.

Over the past six months, without the supply of top-grade talismans from the Fourth Elder and with a decrease in high-grade talismans, the business of the Spiritual Talisman Shop had inevitably been affected.

Facing this situation, the Lu family’s method was simple.

They offered promotions and discounts, and provided more high-grade and top-grade talismans to boost business and help it recover.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

During these three months, only Xiao Qing, who had remained here, became pregnant.

It wasn’t that Lu Changsheng didn’t want to have more children.

The maidservants with spiritual roots had just given birth and still needed to recuperate.

Xia Zhiyue’s cultivation had only just broken through to the third layer of Qi Refinement.

Lu Changsheng planned to wait until she broke through to the fourth layer of Qi Refinement, reaching the middle stage of Qi Refinement, before considering having children with her.

As for ordinary maidservants like Baihe and Haitang, who had no spiritual roots, with so many wives, concubines, and maidservants now, Lu Changsheng did not plan to have any more children with them.

After all, it was about optimal reproduction and upbringing.

“I’ve been out for over three months this trip, it’s time to go back.”

Inside the Spiritual Talisman Shop, Lu Changsheng finished meditating and cultivating, opened his eyes, and gently exhaled.

He was preparing to return to Qingzhu Mountain to see his wives, concubines, and children.

He did not return directly to Qingzhu Mountain.

Instead, he steered the flying boat, taking Qu Zhenzhen, and sending maidservants like Baihe and Haitang, along with a group of children, to the secular world.

As for Xia Zhiyue, he temporarily settled her in Jiulong Fangshi.

Firstly, someone was needed to manage things in Jiulong Fangshi.

Secondly, it had only been a short time since he married Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan, and bringing someone new home from outside so soon would truly be improper.

After settling the maidservants and children in the secular world and staying for two days, Lu Changsheng took Qu Zhenzhen back to Qingzhu Mountain.

Upon returning to Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Changsheng returned the spiritual boat.

He stayed at home for three days, spending time with his wives, concubines, and children.

And the Five Aggregates Derivation Method within the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique came into play at this moment.

However, this Five Aggregates Derivation Method was not foolproof.

It only increased the probability.

Lu Changsheng didn’t know how effective it had been during these three days.

Three days later, amidst the reluctant farewells of his wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng rode the Iron Feathered Eagle, taking Jiang Louyue back to Jiulong Fangshi.

Qingyun Sect.

Caiyun Peak, Mingyue Residence.

Xiao Xiyue wore a long white dress, her face serene and cold, her aura quiet and ethereal, like a fairy from the moon palace.

“Clouds are heartless, the moon is heartless.”

She looked at the 《Supreme Oblivion Art》 she was cultivating.

She had thoroughly understood the cultivation methods within it and had cultivated to the ninth layer of Qi Refinement.

But she had never grasped the essence of the cultivation method’s realm and artistic conception, and had failed to comprehend it.

After a long period of contemplation, Xiao Xiyue sighed softly, took the cultivation method, and went to the palace at the very top of Caiyun Peak.

As soon as she arrived at the palace, she saw a tall, slender, and exceptionally beautiful figure in rainbow-colored robes, standing frozen by the railing, gazing into the distance.

Looking from the side, one could see the voluptuous curves of the beautiful woman’s figure beneath the loose rainbow robes, rising and falling like peaks and valleys.

A head of dark, smooth, black hair cascaded down to her waist, seemingly wanting to cover her mature and full moon-like buttocks.

“Master.”

Xiao Xiyue called out respectfully.

She couldn’t remember which year it started, probably three or four years ago, when her master gradually began to like standing here alone, gazing into the distance.

“Xiyue, you’re here, is something the matter?”

Yun Wanshang turned to look at her, a faint smile appearing on her breathtakingly beautiful face.

“Master, I have disappointed you. I still cannot grasp the essence of the mental state in the Supreme Oblivion Art.”

Xiao Xiyue took out the cultivation method in her hand and said softly.

“Alas.”

Yun Wanshang looked at her formerly lively and clever disciple, whose face was now cold and serene due to cultivating the Supreme Oblivion Art, her beautiful eyes as calm as still water, and her aura quiet and sacred, and sighed softly.

“Xiyue, the first layer of the Supreme Oblivion Art’s mental state, ‘Clouds are heartless, the moon is heartless’, what is your understanding?”

Yun Wanshang said.

“Both clouds and the moon are in the sky, but the moon is thousands of miles away from the clouds. They are unrelated to each other, so naturally, the clouds are heartless, and the moon is also heartless.”

Xiao Xiyue spoke, expressing her understanding.

“Xiyue, the clouds reflect the moon’s light, casting the shadow of colorful clouds on the ground, and to the people on the ground, the moon is within the clouds, and the clouds embrace the moon, they are interdependent.”

“Therefore, to achieve heartlessness and oblivion in this Supreme Oblivion, one must first experience the tribulations of love, sorrow, and separation, before one can truly awaken and deeply understand the profound meaning of oblivion.”

“Previously, I asked Elder Yun to refine the Mortal World Pill, thinking that with the help of the Mortal World Pill, you could understand the disturbances of the mortal world and cross this step, but now it seems you ultimately have to rely on yourself.”

Yun Wanshang said softly.

Although she did not cultivate the Supreme Oblivion Art, as a Core Formation True Person, her insight was naturally extraordinary.

She understood the profound mysteries and meanings within the Supreme Oblivion Art.

“Experience the tribulations of love.”

Xiao Xiyue naturally knew what it meant to experience the tribulations of love.

It meant experiencing the emotions of the world, joy, sorrow, separation, and reunion.

But after cultivating the Supreme Oblivion Art, she could clearly feel herself becoming more and more indifferent.

She was rarely moved by emotions or troubled by feelings.

In this state, it was too difficult, too difficult, to experience joy, sorrow, separation, and reunion.

As for love.

After cultivating the Supreme Oblivion Art, Xiao Xiyue no longer knew what love was.

“Xiyue, if you cannot succeed, then do not cultivate this Supreme Oblivion Art.”

“If one fails to cultivate such a cultivation method and becomes too immersed in it, one might even suffer a cultivation deviation and ruin oneself.”

“With your talent and aptitude, even without cultivating this Supreme Oblivion Art, you can still forge a flawless Dao foundation.”

Yun Wanshang said.

She had hesitated back then whether to let Xiao Xiyue cultivate this Supreme Oblivion Art.

But five years ago, after experiencing a love tribulation herself, her mindset and thoughts also changed.

She gradually understood that the tribulations of love were not so easy to overcome.

One could easily fall into them if not careful.

Xiao Xiyue remained silent for a long time before saying softly, “Master, I want to try again.”

“I will give you three more years. If you do not succeed in three years, you will give up this Supreme Oblivion Art.”

Yun Wanshang looked at her disciple and said.

“Xiyue will listen to Master.”

A few traces of gentle and lively smiles appeared in Xiao Xiyue’s cold eyes.

Six months later.

Qingzhu Valley.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun were supporting Lu Miaoge outside the delivery room.

Lu Yuanding was also nearby.

The family head was pacing back and forth at this moment.

His fists were constantly clenched and unclenched, his expression extremely nervous.

The reason was simple.

Lu Miaohuan was about to give birth.

“Father-in-law, Huanhuan has a cultivation base at the sixth layer of Qi Refinement, she will be fine.”

It was the first time Lu Changsheng had seen the family head with such an expression, and he comforted him.

“Mm.”

Lu Yuanding nodded.

But he still stared at the delivery room, extremely nervous.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng didn’t say anything more.

Saying too much would make him, as the husband and father, seem uncaring about his wife, concubines, and children.

Suddenly.

“Wah–”

A clear cry of a baby came from inside the room.

Everyone outside was shaken, their faces showing joy.

And at this moment, a strong surge of emotion, a mysterious and profound feeling, welled up within Lu Changsheng.

At the same time, two system prompts sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for having twenty children with spiritual roots, you have gained one chance for a lottery!]

[Congratulations to the host for having a child with a spiritual physique for the first time, you have gained one chance for a lottery!]

“What, a spiritual physique!”

When Lu Changsheng heard the two system prompts, his heart churned like a stormy sea, and he was ecstatic.

He hadn’t expected that this child born to Lu Miaohuan not only had spiritual roots but also had a spiritual physique!

Spiritual physiques were one in ten thousand.

At this stage, he had never even dreamed that his child could possess a spiritual physique.

Having spiritual roots was already satisfying enough.

As a result, he hadn’t expected the surprise to come so unexpectedly.

His ninetieth child was born with the first spiritual physique!

Lu Yuanding saw Lu Changsheng’s excited and overjoyed appearance and nodded with satisfaction.

He felt that Lu Changsheng was quite good.

He showed such a look of joy and excitement at the birth of his own daughter’s child.

This indicated his deep love and affection for Lu Miaohuan.

He immediately urged Lu Changsheng, “It’s born, it’s born, Changsheng, quick, quick, go in and take a look.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng didn’t check the system for his child’s spiritual root or spiritual physique.

He immediately pushed the door open and entered.

“Congratulations, son-in-law, it’s a little young master.”

The midwife saw Lu Changsheng and said with a joyful face.

“Good, good, good.”

Lu Changsheng nodded joyfully, took out two spirit stones as a reward, and then came to the bedside.

Looking at Lu Miaohuan, who was holding the child and looked a bit weak, he held her hand and said, “Huanhuan, you’ve worked hard.”

“Lu Changsheng, it hurts so much.”

As soon as Lu Miaohuan saw Lu Changsheng, she immediately said with a wronged expression.

“It’s my fault, I made you suffer.”

Lu Changsheng immediately said to comfort her.

Then he looked at the child and said, “This is our child, so cute.”

Ordinary newborns are usually wrinkled.

But after Lu Miaoyun gave birth, Lu Changsheng knew that children born to cultivators would have smooth, rosy skin and wouldn’t be wrinkled.

Even if such a child didn’t have a spiritual root, they would be a martial arts genius if they practiced martial arts in the future.

“Hehe, so small.”

Lu Miaohuan looked at the little one in her arms and smiled happily, reaching out to tease the infant.

The child didn’t cry, opening his dark, round eyes and looking around, curiously observing the world.

“Let’s go and see Father-in-law.”

Lu Changsheng said.

He didn’t want Lu Yuanding waiting outside to get impatient.

Immediately, the couple carried the child out of the room.

“Oh, my precious grandson, let me see.”

Lu Yuanding outside the door had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Seeing Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaohuan holding the infant, he excitedly came over to hold the child, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

He had none of the usual composure of the Lu family patriarch.

He reached out and touched, then pinched the little face, causing the infant to cry out ‘wah’.

“Hahaha, Yushu, Huan’er’s child is born.”

“Your grandson is born, do you hear that?”

Lu Yuanding, however, started laughing, tears welling up in his eyes.

Hearing this, everyone knew that Lu Yuanding was missing his wife, the mother of Lu Miaohuan and Lu Miaoge.

“Oh, oh, oh, be good, don’t cry, don’t cry.”

Lu Yuanding began to coax the child again.

“Changsheng, let’s name this child Qingshan.”

Lu Yuanding said.

Lu Yuanding had mentioned naming the children before.

He had thought about names for Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan’s children.

A boy would be named Qingshan, and a girl Qingzhu.

“As you wish, Father-in-law.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He had already given so many names.

He wasn’t very concerned about naming.

He felt it was the same no matter who named the child.

He also knew that Lu Yuanding chose this name with the meaning of Qingzhu Mountain in mind.

Just like that, they bustled about coaxing the child, and after finishing dinner, Lu Changsheng finally had some free time.

“System.”

Lu Changsheng came to the study and silently called out in his mind.

[Name: Lu Changsheng]

[Identity: Son-in-law of the Lu family of Qingzhu Mountain]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Stage Eight]

[Lifespan: 29/155]

[Talent: Sixth-grade Spiritual Root, Geng Metal Physique (Mid-grade Spiritual Physique)]

[Cultivation Methods: Hundred Refinements Body Tempering Art, Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, Yin-Yang Harmonization Technique, Immortal Appearance Art]

[Spells: Seven Luminaries Sword Ray, Seven Luminaries Sword Shield, Seven Luminaries Sword Escape…]

[Items: Golden Light Brick Talisman Treasure, Black Dragon Dharma Bead, Demonic Curse of Fate Scroll, Substitute Talisman, Profound Essence Bead, Second-tier Puppet…]

[Skills: Talisman Making (Second-tier), Puppetry (Second-tier)]

[Spirit Beasts: Nine Nether Mastiff, Peach Blossom Gu]

[Descendants: 90/97]

“Geng Metal Physique? Is this my child’s spiritual physique?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the ‘Talent’ section, where a ‘Geng Metal Physique’ had been added.

He immediately knew that this was his son, Lu Qingshan’s spiritual physique.

He then looked at the ‘Descendants’ section, his mind stirring slightly.

[Name: Lu Qingshan]

[Lifespan: 1/84]

[Talent: Sixth-grade Spiritual Root, Geng Metal Physique (Mid-grade Spiritual Physique)]

[Cultivation: None]

“As expected.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son’s panel and thought inwardly, ‘As expected.’

He not only had a sixth-grade spiritual root but also a Geng Metal Physique.

“The Geng Metal Physique is one of the more common Five Elements spiritual physiques.”

“I wonder which attribute my son’s spiritual root leans towards.”

“If the spiritual root also leans towards the Metal attribute, even with a sixth-grade spiritual root, as long as he cultivates Metal attribute cultivation methods, his cultivation speed will be no weaker than a High-grade spiritual root.”

Lu Changsheng said with some excitement and joy in his heart.

Because he was curious about spiritual physiques and also because of Xia Zhiyue’s spiritual physique, he had read a lot of information on spiritual physiques.

He knew about some of the more common spiritual physiques.

This Geng Metal Physique was one of them.

Although it wasn’t considered a rare spiritual physique, it was still a spiritual physique.

He knew that this type of spiritual physique, when combined with a spiritual root of the same attribute, allowed for cultivation speed comparable to a High-grade spiritual root when cultivating Metal attribute cultivation methods.

Moreover, it didn’t just increase cultivation speed.

Cultivating corresponding attribute cultivation methods, spells, and divine abilities would also increase in power, surpassing those of the same level.

“It’s best if it’s a Metal attribute spiritual root, but it doesn’t matter if it’s not.”

“Besides, I have the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, so I don’t need to worry about which attribute cultivation method to use, unless the child has a mutated spiritual root.”

Lu Changsheng let out a light breath.

He had a little more expectation for this child’s future.

This could be considered the first prodigy of his Lu family.

So many children before were all Low-grade spiritual roots.

This one not only had a Mid-grade spiritual root but also possessed a spiritual physique.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng sat down to cultivate.

He wanted to personally experience the effect of this Geng Metal Physique through his own body.

After a long while.

“Is it because the child is just born and the spiritual physique is still growing?”

Lu Changsheng cultivated briefly and could feel that when absorbing spiritual energy, the Metal attribute spiritual energy flowed more smoothly and unobstructed.

But the effect wasn’t astonishing or a qualitative change.

He vaguely guessed in his heart that it was because the child had just been born.

This Geng Metal Physique, like the spiritual root, was still growing.

It needed a certain age to fully develop.

“I cultivate the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, and this Geng Metal Physique mainly gives me some help in the destructive power of spells, but it doesn’t help much with cultivation.”

“The Metal attribute spiritual energy being too fast will instead affect the balance of cultivating the other attributes.”

“Unless I have more children in the future and get one of each of the Five Elements spiritual physiques.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He knew that this type of spiritual physique was best paired with cultivation methods of the corresponding attribute.

If cultivating other attribute cultivation methods, it might even be affected.

And the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture that he cultivated required the Yin-Yang and Five Elements attributes to be kept in balance.

Lu Changsheng didn’t pay too much attention to it.

Thinking that he still had two drawing opportunities, he silently called out, “System lottery.”

Immediately, the large lottery wheel appeared.

“Start the lottery!”

Seeing the lottery wheel, Lu Changsheng didn’t think much.

With a thought, he directly started the lottery.

Immediately, a golden light quickly spun on the wheel, finally stopping on ‘Medicine’.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Third-tier Core Condensing Pill!]

[Reward has been issued to the system space, host can view it at any time]

A pill icon emerged from the large wheel, accompanied by a system notification sound.

“Core Condensing Pill!?”

Lu Changsheng was surprised to see the reward he drew.

He naturally knew what this Core Condensing Pill was.

It was somewhat similar to the Foundation Establishment Pill.

But it was countless times more precious than a Foundation Establishment Pill.

It was a pill that could help Foundation Establishment cultivators increase the chance of forming a Core and improve the quality of the formed Core.

For most cultivators, a Foundation Establishment Pill was a luxury, difficult to obtain.

The preciousness of the Core Condensing Pill, which helps with Core Formation, can be imagined.

[Medicine: Core Condensing Pill]

[Quality: Third-tier]

[Description: To be taken by a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment when attempting Core Formation. Can increase the chance of Core Formation by 30% and improve the quality of the formed Core]

Information about the Core Condensing Pill appeared in the system space.

“A 30% chance of Core Formation, and it helps improve the quality of the formed Core.”

“It seems this Core Condensing Pill, like the Longevity Pill I drew before, is a top-grade Core Condensing Pill, which is why it has such an effect.”

“With this Core Condensing Pill, I won’t have to worry about Core Formation after I reach Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng said with a joyful expression.

He had originally thought of drawing a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Unexpectedly, this drawing session of his actually yielded a Core Condensing Pill that was more advanced and precious than a Foundation Establishment Pill.

“However, Core Formation is still a bit far off for me.”

Lu Changsheng let out a light breath and didn’t look at this Core Condensing Pill much.

He planned to just leave it in the system space.

He would take it out when he needed it in the future.

“Continue drawing!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the system’s large wheel before him and continued drawing.

This was his first time doing consecutive draws.

Having just drawn a Core Condensing Pill, he was looking forward to drawing something he could use.

Although the Core Condensing Pill was precious, at his current stage, he couldn’t use it at all and could only leave it to gather dust.

As the drawing continued, the golden light on the system’s large wheel spun, finally stopping on the ‘Pet’ category.
