Chapter 246: Family talent, the true spirit is immortal!

“Changsheng, Xiao Xiyue, you’re here.”

In the courtyard, Lu Miaoge’s beautiful hair was coiled into a bun, and she wore a snow-white dress. Her face was清丽婉约 (qingli wanyue), and she was quietly watching Lu Wangshu eat heartily.

Seeing Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue arrive, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

“Lu Miaoge.”

“Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Wangshu beside them.

The little girl was holding a large bowl and a small spoon, eating seriously.

Her cheeks puffed out like a hamster’s, plump and very cute.

“Is it that delicious?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel a bit hungry seeing his daughter’s adorable, contented expression.

“Mmm~ It’s delicious~ I’m eating, don’t disturb me~”

Lu Wangshu said indistinctly.

“Alright, alright, take your time eating.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled at the sight.

He knew his daughter didn’t like to talk or be disturbed while eating.

Immediately, the three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators quietly watched Lu Wangshu eat with utmost seriousness.

After she had eaten most of it, the little girl’s eyes narrowed into slits, a content and adorable expression on her face. She patted her tummy and sweetly called out to Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue: “Daddy, Mommy!”

“You still remember Daddy and Mommy, huh?”

“Wangshu, Daddy asks you, if Daddy falls into Bishui Lake, will you eat the Lotus Eight Treasures Rice, White Jade Steamed Buns, or the Jade Dew Lotus Seed Soup first?”

Lu Changsheng asked his daughter.

“Hmm…”

Lu Wangshu pondered for a moment, then lifted her small head and said: “I’ll eat the Jade Dew Lotus Seed Soup first!”

“Then what about Daddy falling into Bishui Lake?”

Lu Changsheng teased his daughter.

Lu Wangshu tilted her head, looked at her childish father, and said: “You’re still here, how could you fall into the lake?”

“Daddy said ‘what if’, what if Daddy falls into the lake, would you save Daddy?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

“No.”

Lu Wangshu’s cute little head rested on the table, and she directly replied.

“Why not?”

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

“Daddy, you can fly yourself, and I’m too small, I can’t save Daddy.”

Lu Wangshu said with a hint of disdain in her voice.

“My Wangshu is so smart. Daddy can fly, and Wangshu is so small, how could she save him?”

Xiao Xiyue, standing nearby, had a face full of motherly smiles. She rubbed her daughter’s small head and said happily.

“Hehehe, Mommy, let’s go fishing.”

Lu Wangshu said to Xiao Xiyue with a giggle.

After going fishing with Lu Changsheng a few times, she had fallen in love with fishing and wanted to ride the Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle to Bishui Lake every day to fish.

But because of the grand ceremony these past few days, no one had accompanied her.

“Wangshu can even fish now?”

Xiao Xiyue was a little surprised to hear this.

She hadn’t expected her daughter, only five years old, to already know how to fish.

Lu Wangshu was still so young, wouldn’t she be fished into Bishui Lake by the fish?

“I’m super good at fishing! Unlike Daddy, who can’t catch any fish!”

Lu Wangshu said, tilting her small head up.

“How can you say that? Daddy just wasn’t serious.”

Lu Changsheng immediately retorted, feeling indignant.

“Nyah nyah nyah~”

Lu Wangshu giggled and made a funny face.

“Originally, Daddy even prepared Golden Honey Candied Hawthorn for you. Now, you don’t get any!”

Lu Changsheng snorted lightly and said.

“Ah, I knew Daddy was the best, he dotes on me the most~”

Lu Wangshu immediately propped her chin on her hands, looking adorable.

“Hmph.”

Lu Changsheng snorted softly.

“Daddy, Daddy, please~ Daddy is the best~”

Lu Wangshu whined.

“You just finished eating, you can’t eat anymore.”

Lu Changsheng laughed as he listened to her whining.

“No, no, please, mmm~”

Lu Wangshu jumped off her chair and hugged Lu Changsheng’s leg, whining.

“You’re such a grown man, why are you still acting like a child?”

Xiao Xiyue looked at the scene, giving Lu Changsheng a playful glare, telling him to give his daughter the candied hawthorn.

“Alright, alright, you’re such a little glutton, but only one skewer.”

Lu Changsheng took out a food box from his Storage Pouch and opened it in front of Lu Wangshu, making the little girl drool.

He took out a skewer of candied hawthorn for his daughter.

Then he took out another skewer for Lu Miaoge and Xiao Xiyue.

The two women couldn’t help but smile, seeing that they also got a share.

Still, they smiled as they took the candied hawthorn and took a bite.

“Mommy, Mommy, can I taste your flavor?”

Lu Wangshu licked twice, looking at Xiao Xiyue and Lu Miaoge with hopeful eyes.

“Haven’t you already tasted it?”

Lu Changsheng said exasperatedly, looking at his daughter’s gluttonous appearance.

“But I haven’t tasted all three flavors at the same time.”

Lu Wangshu said righteously.

Both women chuckled at her words.

They offered their candied hawthorn to their daughter to taste.

After Lu Wangshu tasted it, she smacked her lips, a look of satisfaction on her face.

Then she handed her own candied hawthorn to the two women and said: “Mommy, Mommy.”

“Mmm, so sweet~”

Xiao Xiyue took a simple bite, her beautiful eyes filled with doting affection.

“Mommy, I’ll take you to see the little turtle Daddy gave me!”

After finishing the candied hawthorn, Lu Wangshu pulled Xiao Xiyue to see the Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle in the backyard pond.

“Haha.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the scene, a smile on his face.

Then he saw Lu Miaoge beside him, looking dazed, her eyes filled with longing.

He knew she was missing Lu Qingzhu.

He immediately held Lu Miaoge’s delicate hand and said softly: “Lu Miaoge, when things stabilize in a few years, we’ll go to Jin Yang Sect to visit Qingshan and Qingzhu.”

Originally, he had planned to visit his children in Jin Yang Sect in Yue Country after a few years, once the Family situation stabilized.

But now, it seemed that until the Xiahou Demon issue was resolved and the Family’s grand Formation and Xumi Tree King were planted, he wouldn’t feel at ease traveling far.

“Mmm.”

Lu Miaoge came back to her senses and softly responded.

More than a year had passed, and she indeed missed her daughter a bit.

She wondered how Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu were doing in Jin Yang Sect.

But she also knew that given the current situation, she and Lu Changsheng truly had no time to go out.

“Little Ice, charge, charge!”

Soon after, Lu Wangshu, carrying a fishing basket on her back and holding a fishing rod, sat on the Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle’s shell and slowly walked out from the backyard.

Xiao Xiyue, beside her, had a face full of doting smiles.

Other than when facing Lu Changsheng, only Lu Wangshu could make this cold and noble Fairy act this way at all times.

“Daddy, Mommy, are you going fishing~”

Lu Wangshu sat cross-legged on the turtle shell and shouted loudly to Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge.

“Haha, Daddy still has some things to do. You go with Mommy first, Daddy will come later.”

Lu Changsheng said with a chuckle.

The Family function enabled by the System, and the Lu Clan Genealogy, he hadn’t studied them yet due to being busy until now, and he planned to look at them now.

“Mommy also has some things to do.”

Lu Miaoge said softly.

Now that Xiao Xiyue was accompanying their daughter, it was naturally not good for her to be nearby.

“Alright then~”

Lu Wangshu’s small face showed a hint of disappointment, then she pointed in the direction of Bishui Lake and said to Xiao Xiyue: “Mommy, fly, fly, fly!”

“Okay~”

Xiao Xiyue smiled dotingly, then raised a hand.

Immediately, the Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle and Lu Wangshu flew up, heading towards Bishui Lake.

“Xiao Xiyue only shows this kind of expression when facing Wangshu.”

Lu Miaoge said with a light laugh, watching Xiao Xiyue leave.

Although her relationship with Xiao Xiyue was good.

This was because the two of them had Lu Wangshu as a bond.

If they met alone, Xiao Xiyue’s cold demeanor, like the bright moon in the Nine Heavens, truly kept people at a distance.

This also made her unable to help but sigh, how Lu Changsheng was able to make such a Fairy fall in love.

“Xiao Xiyue rarely sees Wangshu, so she acts more dotingly.”

“However, Wangshu is intelligent and sensible, and very likable.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Although this daughter was a bit mischievous, in his opinion, she was still lively, cute, and likable.

“The Family should be holding the Spiritual Root Testing Ceremony this year, right? Wangshu can also participate then.”

Lu Miaoge said.

Like Qingzhu Mountain, they held a Spiritual Root Testing Ceremony every year to test the Spiritual Roots of five or six-year-old children.

Now, Bihu Mountain was naturally no exception.

“Mmm, after I finish being busy with things, I’ll pick a good day for the Spiritual Root Testing Ceremony.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

Although he already knew the Spiritual Root situation of his children, a sense of ritual was still necessary.

Moreover, this year, his son Lu Qingxuan and daughter Lu Wangshu could both have their Spiritual Roots tested.

At that time, when both of them tested as Fourth Grade Spiritual Roots, it would be a great joyous occasion for Bihu Mountain, encouraging everyone.

After chatting with Lu Miaoge about Family matters, the two came to Biyun Peak, Chang Sheng Hall.

Ling Zixiao was resting inside the hall. Lu Miaoge came to the Immortal Cave and used Taiyi True Water to nourish Ling Zixiao’s Physical Body.

Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng went to his Talismans room.

“System!”

Lu Changsheng silently chanted.

[Name: Lu Changsheng]

[Identity: Lord of Bihu Mountain]

[Bloodline Effect: Offspring Spiritual Root Probability +25%, Offspring Proliferation +10%]

[Family: 226]

“Hmm, Family.”

Lu Changsheng saw the System interface; the original ‘Offspring’ column had disappeared.

But a ‘Family’ column had been added.

His mind stirred, and he clicked on the Family interface.

Immediately, the entire Family’s relationship network appeared.

At the very top was himself.

Then came his wives and concubines.

One by one, the offspring he had with these wives and concubines.

Then, among these offspring, those who had already married and had children continued to be listed below.

Currently, he himself, seven wives, two Dao Companions, forty-three concubines, one hundred and fifty-five children, ten daughters-in-law, eight ‘Xuan’ generation grandchildren, a total of 226 people.

“As long as they are part of my Lu Family, can I view their information like I could with my previous offspring?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Family network before him, his mind stirring, and then looked at Lu Miaoge.

[Name: Lu Miaoge]

[Lifespan: 49 / 261]

[Talent: Fifth Grade Spiritual Root]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment - First Layer]

[Ability: Talismans Compatibility (56%)]

“Ability?”

Lu Changsheng looked at this prompt, somewhat surprised.

The next moment, he understood what this ‘Ability’ was.

This was the System’s hint for each person’s growth direction.

Everyone’s Ability was different.

Some people were suitable for business management, some for Alchemy and Talismans, some for Artifact Refining and Formation.

And the System would provide hints based on the current situation of the Family members, telling him their optimal growth direction.

For example, Lu Miaoge, with a Talismans Compatibility of 56%, indicated that she was suitable for the Dao of Talismans.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng looked at the Abilities of others.

[Name: Lu Miaoyun]

[Lifespan: 37 / 99]

[Talent: 7th Grade Spiritual Root]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Sixth Layer]

[Ability: Management Compatibility (42%)]

“This Ability can be improved through Acquired training.”

“Yun’er has been managing the Family’s affairs all these years, keeping the backyard in perfect order, so her Ability is in management, then.”

Lu Changsheng murmured in his heart, looking at Lu Miaoyun’s interface.

“In that case, Ling Zixiao must be Formation.”

Lu Changsheng opened Ling Zixiao’s information and took a look.

[Name: Ling Zixiao]

[Lifespan: 42 / 69]

[Talent: Third Grade Spiritual Root, Dragon’s Roar Body (Top-Grade Spiritual Body)]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment - First Layer]

[Ability: Formation Compatibility (81%)]

“Formation Compatibility 81%.”

“But Ling Zixiao’s lifespan is only sixty-nine years?”

Lu Changsheng’s heart paused as he looked at Ling Zixiao’s lifespan.

He knew Ling Zixiao’s Physical Body condition wasn’t good.

But he hadn’t realized that Ling Zixiao’s lifespan was so short.

However, this lifespan was judged based on Ling Zixiao’s current condition.

As long as Ling Zixiao’s Physical Body recovered under his and Lu Miaoge’s treatment, with her Foundation Establishment cultivation, she should have at least one or two hundred years of lifespan.

However, Ling Zixiao’s Talent made him click his tongue in wonder.

Third Grade Spiritual Root!

Top-Grade Spiritual Body!

If it weren’t for the fact that the Dragon’s Roar Body was only useful for male bodies and not suitable for female bodies, with Ling Zixiao’s Third Grade Spiritual Root, Top-Grade Spiritual Body, and Formation Talent, she would definitely be able to Core Formation in the future and become a magnate!

“With this Ability feature, I can completely tailor education for Ping’an, Xianzhi, and all of them, and make arrangements.”

Lu Changsheng clearly realized the greatest help this Ability would provide to his Family.

His mind stirred, and he looked at his son Lu Ping’an’s panel.

[Name: Lu Ping’an]

[Lifespan: 22 / 91]

[Talent: Fifth Grade Spiritual Root]

[Cultivation: Refining Qi Stage - First Level]

[Ability: Body Refining Compatibility (44%)]

“Hmm? Body Refining Compatibility, 44%.”

“Ping’an is really suitable for Body Refining? Is it because he truly has Talent in this area, or because of his many years of martial arts foundation?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son Lu Ping’an’s Ability, feeling surprised and puzzled.

He had once considered passing on the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique to this son, and now seeing that Lu Ping’an truly had Talent in this area, he immediately felt it was excellent.

Immediately, he looked at his son Lu Xianzhi.

[Name: Lu Xianzhi]

[Lifespan: 21 / 99]

[Talent: Nine-Rank Spiritual Root]

[Cultivation: Lianqi Fourth Layer]

[Ability: Puppet Compatibility (27%)]

“The highest Puppet compatibility is only 27%?”

Lu Changsheng frowned, seeing his son Lu Xianzhi’s Ability.

He hadn’t expected Lu Xianzhi’s Ability to be so poor.

But then he thought about how his son Lu Xianzhi had been nurtured and taught by him since childhood, and after so many years, he was still only a Tier 1 Low Grade Puppet Master.

As for effort, Lu Xianzhi had indeed put in enough effort in this area, spending a lot of thought.

“Sigh, well, there aren’t that many Geniuses.”

Lu Changsheng sighed slightly.

He understood that sometimes, the gap between people was even greater than the gap between humans and baboons.

If effort was all that mattered, then what was the meaning of Talent?

He then generally looked at the Ability situations of his other children.

Except for a few individuals, most of their Abilities were quite ordinary, within thirty percent.

But through this Ability, at least he had a general direction for nurturing them.

[Name: Lu Wangshu]

[Lifespan: 4 / 89]

[Talent: Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, Blood Talisman Spirit Body (Superior Spiritual Body)]

[Cultivation: None]

[Ability: Fishing Compatibility (30%)]

“Fishing???? And 30%!”

Lu Changsheng stared at his daughter Lu Wangshu’s Ability, completely stunned and bewildered.

His daughter, as a Blood Talisman Spirit Body, shouldn’t she have extraordinary Talent in Talismans?

How could she have such Ability in something like fishing?

However, the next moment, he remembered that his daughter’s Blood Talisman Spirit Body had not yet Awakened.

Once the Blood Talisman Spirit Body Awakened, her Ability in that area would likely increase significantly.

After generally looking at his children’s Abilities, Lu Changsheng looked at the System space.

Inside, besides the Ningjing Pill, Spirit Fusion Pill, Lingming Treasure Tree, Xumi Tree King, Hundred Horse Floating Pagoda Lock, and Spirit Eye Spring that he had placed there, there was also an additional Golden Palace Jade Scroll.

[Lu Clan Genealogy]

[Description: Unique Supreme Treasure, bound to Host Lu Changsheng]

“Hmm? Such a concise description.”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, looking at this Lu Clan Genealogy.

He then took out this Lu Clan Genealogy.

Immediately, a Golden Palace Jade Scroll appeared in his hand.

At the same time, information about this Lu Clan Genealogy flooded into his mind, making him understand the effects of this genealogy.

“This…”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Lu Clan Genealogy in his hand, his eyes wide with surprise and disbelief.

This Lu Clan Genealogy had three functions.

First, the Genealogy could check if Family members had died.

Second, the Genealogy could sense if Family members had betrayed.

Third, the Genealogy recorded names, ensuring True Spirit Immortality!
