Chapter 284: Top-grade spiritual root, spiritual source bead!

In a flash, three months passed.

During these three months, although Lu Changsheng took care of the three newly bought maids, only one became pregnant.

It wasn’t that there was any problem; it was simply that he was busy.

Moreover, with so many concubines in the Lu Family, Lu Changsheng wasn’t in a hurry for them to get pregnant immediately.

On this day, Lu Changsheng sensed a surge of magic power suddenly entering his body.

He knew that one of his children had advanced in Cultivation Realm.

Now, as his children gradually began to Cultivate, he could sense this bonus almost every few months or half a year.

However, whether it was Qi Refining cultivation or martial arts Realm, the boost to his current strength was simply too low.

Unless there was a quantitative change, otherwise, only when his children broke through Foundation Establishment would he see a significant improvement, allowing him to directly break through a Realm!

“Father.”

Three days later, his son Lu Quanzhen saw Lu Changsheng and immediately announced that he had broken through to Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

“Qi Refining Sixth Layer.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng knew that Lu Quanzhen wanted to talk about going out for experience.

Although such matters could be reported directly to Lu Yun or Lu Miaoyun.

But he clearly couldn’t get past his mother Qu Zhenzhen, so he came to him to be a persuader.

“Sigh, let’s go.”

Lu Changsheng also had a headache.

Having agreed to his son on such a matter, he naturally wouldn’t go back on his word.

Moreover, deep down, he also hoped that his children could go out and explore more.

In the Cultivation World, unless one had extraordinary talent, without experiencing hardships, even with a Foundation Establishment Pill in the future, Foundation Establishment would not be so easy to break through.

The two arrived at Qu Zhenzhen’s courtyard.

“Experience? How dangerous is it outside!”

Upon hearing the reason, Qu Zhenzhen’s smile immediately turned into worry.

She looked at Lu Quanzhen and muttered, “Quanzhen, if you want to go out, you can go to Hongye Valley Market. Mother won’t stop you, but it’s so chaotic and dangerous outside…”

“Husband.”

Qu Zhenzhen then looked at Lu Changsheng, knowing that he must have come to act as a persuader.

After all, she had talked to Lu Changsheng several times about Lu Quanzhen’s matter, but this father clearly favored his son.

“Zhenzhen, I understand your thoughts; you hope Quanzhen will be safe and sound.”

Lu Changsheng held his wife’s wrist and sat down beside her, saying, “I also hope they can all be safe and sound, but Quanzhen is not small anymore; he has his own opinions and ideas. Keeping him at home all the time won’t make him happy.”

“Moreover, young eagles must eventually fly on their own. Only by experiencing great storms can they grow.”

“Although I, as his father, am here, Quanzhen doesn’t need to go through these things, but it’s a good thing that he is willing to go out and explore.”

Lu Changsheng slowly explained to his wife.

When faced with such matters, Qu Zhenzhen never acted unreasonably; she would only show a wronged expression and grieve silently.

And he always responded better to gentleness than to stubbornness, especially when his wife looked so wronged.

Lu Quanzhen was much the same; he might have held reverence for his father.

But for his mother, it was respect; he was afraid of his mother being sad and upset, looking at him with a wronged expression.

“Furthermore, if Quanzhen wants to go out, I, as his father, have also made preparations.”

“This Talisman, named ‘Substitute Talisman,’ allows one to escape through the Talisman when facing Cultivators below Core Formation True Person.”

“And this Puppet, you should have seen it; this is a Second-Order Puppet. Its combat power can delay Foundation Establishment Cultivators for several rounds.”

“With these, Quanzhen will not be in any danger when he goes out for experience.”

As Lu Changsheng spoke, he took out a Talisman resembling a purple dragon scale and a beast-shaped Puppet, entirely dark gold, emitting a cold luster.

Originally, he hadn’t planned to give a Second-Order Puppet.

But seeing Qu Zhenzhen’s expression, he decided to take out a bit more.

“Second-Order Puppet!?”

Lu Quanzhen, who had been lowering his head, was somewhat dumbfounded when he heard his father’s words and saw the Second-Order Puppet in front of him.

A Substitute Talisman, allowing one to escape through the Talisman when facing those below Core Formation True Person.

He could barely understand that.

After all, his father was a top Talisman Master.

But to give him a Second-Order Puppet!?

Was his father really that generous and wealthy!?

He knew his father was doing this for his mother’s Face, to keep her from worrying, and he felt a surge of emotion.

He thought he would just go through the motions and return the Puppet to his father later.

After all, such a Puppet was worth one to two tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

For his father, it probably wasn’t a small sum either.

“Sigh.”

Qu Zhenzhen pursed her lips and sighed softly.

She knew that since Lu Changsheng had said so, he basically agreed to Lu Quanzhen going out.

In this situation, she naturally couldn’t say anything more.

Moreover, she had never refuted Lu Changsheng’s words.

“Quanzhen, you must be careful when you go out on your own. Don’t stay out for years; remember to come back every year.”

“Also, keep the Talisman and Puppet your father gave you safe. Don’t rely on them to take risks…”

Qu Zhenzhen sadly and reluctantly pulled her son to sit beside her, whispering with red eyes.

A child traveling a thousand li causes a mother’s worry.

Especially since the Cultivation World always gave Qu Zhenzhen a feeling of chaos and danger, she was very worried about her son going out alone.

“Mother, rest assured, your child understands!”

Lu Quanzhen’s handsome Face showed determination and seriousness as he said this.

Immediately, he smeared his brow blood and essence blood onto the ‘Substitute Talisman.’

He saw the Talisman transform into a spiritual light and enter his glabella.

Qu Zhenzhen felt a bit more at ease seeing this scene.

Although she didn’t understand much, she knew her husband was very capable and wouldn’t mistreat their child.

After Lu Quanzhen accepted the Second-Order Puppet, Lu Changsheng chatted with his wife and son for a while before leaving.

However, as he walked out of the courtyard, Lu Quanzhen immediately sent a voice transmission, saying that he didn’t need the Second-Order Puppet and that his father didn’t need to spend so much.

“Keep it. It has ten Medium Grade Spirit Stones embedded in it. It can last about ten rounds against an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so if you encounter a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, do not confront them head-on.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and told his son, not caring too much about this Puppet.

He had previously crafted three Second-Order Puppets.

One for Ling Zixiao, one for Lu Miaoyun, and one for Lu Miaoge.

Earlier, he had also given one to Lu Miaohuan.

However, due to Qu Zhenzhen’s personality, she usually didn’t like going out and wasn’t good at fighting, so he hadn’t given her one.

Now, this Puppet would serve as Qu Zhenzhen’s share.

“Your child thanks Father!”

Lu Quanzhen took a deep breath and cupped his hands.

He felt that his father’s true strength might be beyond the imagination of him and his siblings.

Two months later.

Inside Chang Sheng Hall.

Lu Changsheng was refining a Taiyi Talisman.

Suddenly, a profound tremor came.

Lu Changsheng was naturally not unfamiliar with this tremor.

As his Spiritual Root advanced to Second Grade, the quality of his wives’ and concubines’ Spiritual Roots relatively improved, leading to better offspring, along with the System’s Bloodline bonus.

Among his previous six children, four possessed Spiritual Roots, with two being Fifth Grade Spiritual Roots and two being Sixth Grade Spiritual Roots.

But these four children’s Spiritual Root tremors were far less intense than this child’s.

“This is a High Grade Spiritual Root! A Third Grade Spiritual Root!”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes showed joy.

Besides his daughter Nangong Yaoyao, whom he hadn’t met yet, he didn’t have a single High Grade Spiritual Root in the Lu Family.

In the Cultivation World, a High Grade Spiritual Root could increase the chance of breaking through Foundation Establishment by 30 to 50 percent.

If one had a Foundation Establishment Pill or a Foundation Establishment spiritual item, they would certainly be able to break through Foundation Establishment, with a future prospect of Core Formation.

“System!”

Lu Changsheng silently chanted, opening his System panel.

[“Bloodline Effect”: “Offspring Spiritual Root Probability +30%, Offspring Proliferation +20%”]

[“Family”: “321”]

Lu Changsheng looked at the Family column and found the child who had just been born.

Immediately, an interface panel appeared.

[“Name”: “Unnamed”]

[“Lifespan”: “1 / 80”]

[“Talent”: “Third Grade Spiritual Root”]

[“Cultivation”: “None”]

[“Talent”: “Alchemy (39%)”]

“Indeed, a Third Grade Spiritual Root, and with 39% Alchemy talent right after birth, if well-nurtured in the future, becoming a Second-Order Alchemist won’t be a problem!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the interface panel, his eyes filled with joy.

Immediately, he put down the half-finished ‘Taiyi Talisman’ in his hand and went to the Lu Family Mansion.

He immediately learned that the child in Xia Zhiyue’s womb had been born.

“No wonder, I didn’t expect a Third Grade Spiritual Root to be born.”

Lu Changsheng murmured in his heart.

Xia Zhiyue had given birth to three children for him in total.

The first two children were his daughter Lu Xingyue, a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root; and his son Lu Xingyang, a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root.

Now, the third child was directly a Third Grade Spiritual Root.

“Greetings, Master!”

Upon arriving at Xia Zhiyue’s courtyard, the servants immediately greeted him respectfully.

“Hmm, I heard Zhiyue gave birth?”

Lu Changsheng nodded and went straight to the back courtyard room, where he saw Xia Zhiyue holding a baby.

“Husband…”

When Xia Zhiyue saw Lu Changsheng arrive, her pale Face immediately lit up with joy.

Currently, Lu Changsheng usually Cultivates in Chang Sheng Hall.

So, whether there’s a new baby in the Lu Family depends on whether Lu Changsheng remembers.

Although it was the same whether Lu Changsheng was present or not,

they still hoped in their hearts that Lu Changsheng would come and see.

“Zhiyue, you’ve worked hard.”

Lu Changsheng sat by the bed, feeling a bit ashamed, and said softly.

As his children grew more numerous, coupled with the fact that any trivial task he did would take at least ten days to half a month,

his attentiveness to the birth of his children gradually decreased.

“Husband, it’s not hard at all.”

Xia Zhiyue said softly, showing the baby in her arms to Lu Changsheng.

“Haha, this child shall be named Xingchen.”

Lu Changsheng took the child, looked at his clear, black-and-white eyes, and said with a chuckle.

A 3rd Grade Spiritual Root, this son would also be one of the pillars of his Lu Family in the future!

“Xingchen, Lu Xingchen.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiyue’s Face showed a gentle smile as she called out to the infant.

“Zhiyue, you should rest well.”

After chatting with Xia Zhiyue for a while, Lu Changsheng said softly.

Although she had Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivation,

because of her ‘Spiritual Nurturing Body’, each time she gave birth, her Origin Qi would be injured.

She needed much more rest than ordinary Cultivators.

After comforting Xia Zhiyue, Lu Changsheng went to the Lu Family Mansion to chat with his wives and concubines, asking about the Family’s situation.

“Daddy, Daddy, are you busy?!”

At this moment, his daughter Lu Wangshu ran over, calling out to Lu Changsheng with a smiling Face.

“What’s wrong?”

Lu Changsheng ruffled his daughter’s hair bun and asked with a chuckle.

His daughter Lu Wangshu was now nine years old, and he planned to Awaken her Blood Talisman Spirit Body in another year.

“Daddy, can you refine some sugar beans for me to eat~”

Lu Wangshu took out an empty small bottle, tilted it twice towards the ground, and said in a soft, cute voice.

“Aren’t there sugar beans at home?”

Lu Changsheng said with a gentle smile.

To lay a good Foundation for the children, the Lu Family had long-term purchases of Medicinal Pills for strengthening the body and cultivating Origin Qi.

In recent days, Honglian also frequently used Xu Ruyin to refine Medicinal Pills for the Family, so Lu Changsheng rarely refined these common Medicinal Pills himself.

“But the sugar beans Daddy refines are sweeter~”

Lu Wangshu cupped her cheeks with both hands, saying cutely.

“What, I put too much salt in the sugar pills I refined?”

Lu Changsheng pretended not to hear clearly.

“Daddy~”

Lu Wangshu hugged Lu Changsheng’s wrist and whined, “Daddy, if you don’t refine sugar pills for me to eat, then accompany me to fish~”

“Alright, alright, I’ll go with you later.”

Lu Changsheng dotingly ruffled his daughter’s head, knowing that she wanted him to play with her.

The several wives and concubines nearby looked at this scene, a hint of envy in their eyes towards Lu Wangshu.

Among the children in the Lu Family, Lu Wangshu was currently the most doted upon by Lu Changsheng.

Half a year later.

Hongye Valley Market.

“Daoist Ji, these are the Spiritual Talismans you requested, please take a look.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the heroic-faced middle-aged man in front of him, took out ten Second-Order High Grade Talismans, and said.

“Second-Order High Grade Teleportation Talisman, Second-Order High Grade Restriction Breaking Talisman.”

The heroic man took the Talismans and examined them, his Face immediately showing delight.

Then he cupped his hands and said, “I’ve long heard of Great Master Lu’s reputation; seeing you today, it truly lives up to its name!”

“This is a lingyuan pearl, Great Master Lu only needs to give me another ten thousand Spirit Stones, and you can have this lingyuan pearl.”

He took out a fist-sized, five-colored glowing Spiritual Pearl from his Storage Pouch.

As this Spiritual Pearl appeared, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi concentration in the surroundings immediately began to slowly increase.

“Good, here are ten thousand Spirit Stones, Daoist Ji can take a look!”

Lu Changsheng was delighted to see this, took out a Storage Pouch he had prepared earlier, and said.

“Good, goods and payment cleared, thank you, Great Master Lu!”

The heroic man took the Storage Pouch, swept it with his Divine Sense, handed the lingyuan pearl to Lu Changsheng, then cupped his hands and took his leave.

“Walk slowly.”

Lu Changsheng saw him out the door, exhaled lightly, and examined the lingyuan pearl in his hand, his Face showing joy: “With this lingyuan pearl, the Spiritual Vein in the Lu Family should be able to improve quite a bit.”

Since the establishment of Bihu Mountain, he had been having Lu Miaoyun continuously seek out lingyuan pearls externally.

But lingyuan pearls were rare, and there had been no progress for so many years.

Three months ago, the Daoist Ji who had just left found the Lu Family, stating that he had a lingyuan pearl.

However, he was unwilling to trade it for Spirit Stones, wanting to ask Lu Changsheng to draw ten Second-Order High Grade Talismans, and then pay an additional ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Facing such a request, Lu Changsheng naturally agreed, thus leading to this transaction.

“However, this Daoist Ji, I’m afraid he’s not a good person.”

Lu Changsheng thought of the effects of these Talismans and mused inwardly.

The effects of the ten Talismans were suitable for exploring Immortal Cave Secret Realms, but similarly, they were also suitable for murder and robbery.

However, he didn’t pay it much mind, checked the lingyuan pearl to confirm there were no issues, and then put it into his Storage Pouch.

“Changsheng, the Family is preparing to arrange for Muping to Foundation Establishment.”

“But whether it’s Qingzhu Mountain or Hongye Valley Market, the commotion would be too great and attract attention, so I plan to send Muping to Qingyun Town or an Immortal City for Foundation Establishment.”

On this day, Lu Yuanzhong came to Hongye Valley Market and said to Lu Changsheng.

“Qingyun Town it is. I know Fairy Xiyue of Qingyun Sect, and through her, we can rent a good Immortal Cave in Qingyun Town.”

“Moreover, I’ll send Muping over myself; Uncle, you can stay and oversee the Lu Family.”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said.

As the saying goes, if you do a good deed, see it through to the end.

If Lu Yuanzhong were to send Lu Muping out for Foundation Establishment, there might be dangers or accidents along the way.

After all, Lu Muping’s Foundation Establishment not only concerned Qingzhu Mountain but also Lu Miaoge.

He didn’t want any accidents to occur at this stage.

Anyway, Bihu Mountain now had Ling Zixiao and Sumi overseeing it, so he could go out.

He thought about going himself, so there wouldn’t be any problems.

“In that case, Changsheng, I’ll trouble you with this matter!”

Lu Yuanzhong’s Face immediately showed joy upon hearing this.

Having an excellent Immortal Cave would also help somewhat in breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, with Lu Changsheng personally escorting him, there would be no fear of encountering any accidents on the way.

“Uncle, you’re too kind. In a month, have Muping come to Bihu Mountain to find me.”

Lu Changsheng said with a slight smile.

He then informed Lu Miaoge and returned to Bihu Mountain, handing the lingyuan pearl to Ling Zixiao.

He instructed her to use this lingyuan pearl to set up a formation to upgrade the Spiritual Vein on Biyun Peak.

The Biyun Peak Spiritual Vein was Medium Grade Second-Order, currently just one step away from advancing to High Grade Second-Order.

As long as there were two or three lingyuan pearls, the Spiritual Vein could be upgraded.

After completing these tasks, he also wrote a letter to Xiao Xiyue, informing her about the Foundation Establishment matter in Qingyun Town.

Half a month later.

“Brother~”

A young girl with an exquisite and pure Face, graceful and moving figure, dressed in a white skirt, and of unparalleled charm, saw Lu Changsheng and called out.

Her voice was sweet and clingy, like heavenly music, her beautiful eyes filled with deep affection and joy.

“Little Bai Ling.”

Lu Changsheng saw the joyful young girl and very naturally embraced her.

He spun her around as if coaxing a child, and kissed her pure and smooth forehead.

“Oh, my little Bai Ling has broken through to Qi Refining Ninth Layer!?”

The next moment, Lu Changsheng sensed Bai Ling’s cultivation change.

He saw that her cultivation Realm had already advanced from Qi Refining stage eight to Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

Although the ‘Black Dragon Codex’ did not show the situation Ling Zixiao mentioned, where her Bloodline would have any obvious manifestation,

this Cultivation Technique was still very compatible with her, and her Cultivation speed had improved.

It only took three years to go from Qi Refining stage eight to Qi Refining Ninth Layer, and it is estimated that in another two or three years, she can prepare to assault Foundation Establishment!

“Mm-hmm…”

Bai Ling nestled against Lu Changsheng’s strong chest, her head slightly raised.

Her pair of peach blossom-like beautiful eyes were dreamy and illusory, glistening with a watery luster, seductive and charming, her Face showing anticipation, waiting for Lu Changsheng to praise her.

“Little Bai Ling is amazing!”

Lu Changsheng naturally understood the young girl’s thoughts.

He cupped her beautiful Face, leaned in, and kissed her cool, soft, pink lips, a scent like white plum and cold snow flowing between their teeth, soft, sweet, and fragrant.

A moment later, Bai Ling’s Face was flushed and radiant, her eyes like silken threads, as if water was about to drip from them, her breathing erratic, her delicate body a soft mass.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng smiled knowingly and carried the little girl’s exquisite body back into the room.

Although Bai Ling was extremely difficult to conceive due to her Bloodline, and now she also Cultivated the Black Dragon Codex,

Lu Changsheng had confidence in himself, believing that he was a person of great fertility.

He just needed to work harder, and he would definitely succeed!

Moreover, among so many wives and concubines, this girl Bai Ling was indeed a stunner, making him very fond of her.
