Chapter 374: Lu Miaoge is pregnant, with a pure heart!

Inside a simple and elegant Immortal Cave in the Hongye Valley Market.

Lu Changsheng was currently circulating the Taiyi One Seed Dao Art using the Yin Yang Creation Scripture to nurture and baptize Lu Miaoge’s Taiyi Dao Seed.

During this process, Lu Miaoge’s Supreme Goodness is Like Water Art, influenced by the Taiyi Dao Seed and the Yin Yang Creation Scripture, began to circulate on its own, optimizing and adjusting the Cultivation Technique’s pathways.

Parts of the original Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture’s Cultivation Technique characteristics and magical power characteristics were gradually washed away, allowing her to acquire some characteristics of the Yin Yang Creation Scripture.

Lu Changsheng suspected that after the baptism was complete, Lu Miaoge’s Supreme Goodness is Like Water Art would likely surpass a True Grade Cultivation Technique, becoming no weaker than a Profound Grade Cultivation Technique.

“Changsheng, I think I’m pregnant.”

That day, Lu Miaoge sensed a faint life force forming in her lower abdomen and spoke to Lu Changsheng with some surprise.

“Ah, pregnant?”

Lu Changsheng was stunned by her words, a little surprised.

He had been baptizing Lu Miaoge’s Dao Seed and Foundation these past few days, so how could she have gotten pregnant?

Moreover, for a pregnancy to be sensed, it usually takes at least ten days for the nascent life force to be felt.

Ten days ago, he and Lu Miaoge were still immersed in a Soul Dao dream.

“Could it be that this child was conceived when I was cultivating the Cultivation Technique and entered the Soul Dao dream?”

Lu Changsheng immediately guessed what had happened.

Although the two of them were cultivating the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art and changing Cultivation Techniques at the time, it was almost impossible to get pregnant.

But such things were not absolute.

When he treated Nangong Mili’s injuries back then, she became pregnant with Nangong Yaoyao under similar circumstances.

“Let me see.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t overthink it and pressed his head against Lu Miaoge’s flat, soft lower abdomen.

Through his Divine Sense and magical power, he immediately sensed a very faint life force.

“She’s really pregnant.”

Lu Changsheng said with a face full of smiles, “I said before that we’d try hard after finishing the Cultivation Technique, but I didn’t expect her to get pregnant so soon.”

“However, in the coming days, Miaoge, your Cultivation will be delayed again.”

Ten years ago, Lu Changsheng had planned to have a second child with Lu Miaoge.

But due to cultivating the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art and switching to the Yin Yang Creation Scripture, this matter had been continuously postponed.

He didn’t expect that as soon as he finished cultivating the Cultivation Technique this time, Lu Miaoge would get pregnant!

“I wonder if this child will be as exceptionally talented as Nangong Yaoyao.”

Lu Changsheng mused inwardly.

It wasn’t that he particularly hoped this child would be exceptionally talented to give him a bonus.

Rather, after so many years as husband and wife with Lu Miaoge, his feelings for her were different from his other concubines.

He hoped that this child’s talent would be better, so that they could continue to walk together in the future.

“It won’t be delayed.”

Lu Miaoge gently caressed her lower abdomen, her eyes revealing a maternal glow, gentle as water.

Then, her beautiful eyes sparkling, she softly asked Lu Changsheng, “Changsheng, do you hope for a boy or a girl?”

Lu Changsheng didn’t expect his wife to care about such a thing.

However, he understood Lu Miaoge’s thoughts and said gently, “In my heart, boys and girls have always been the same.”

After the two chatted and had intimate moments for a long time, Lu Changsheng came to Qingzhu Mountain.

He stated that Lu Miaoge was pregnant and he wanted to take her back to Bihu Mountain to rest during her pregnancy, so he hoped Lu Yuanzhong would return to Hongye Valley Market to oversee it.

Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding were both surprised to hear the news of Lu Miaoge’s pregnancy.

They didn’t expect the couple to have another child after more than thirty years.

However, such things were common in the Cultivation World.

They had previously wondered why Lu Changsheng, who liked having children so much, had only had one child with Lu Miaoge.

After a round of congratulations, Lu Yuanzhong immediately told them to go back and rest well during pregnancy, as his injuries had now healed and he could oversee the Hongye Valley Market.

Afterward, Lu Yuanzhong, Lu Yuanding, and Lu Changsheng discussed the matter of Qingzhu Mountain’s third Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

After so many years, Qingzhu Mountain was also preparing to use the Foundation Establishment Pill from back then to allow the Family to produce its third Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

“Father-in-law, Uncle, you can arrange these matters as you see fit.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

Since establishing Bihu Mountain, he had rarely paid attention to Qingzhu Mountain’s situation and would not interfere with its affairs.

For so many years, he had only brought the money-making businesses to Qingzhu Mountain, but never inquired about other aspects.

“Mm, alright.”

Lu Yuanding nodded, then called over the Lu Family disciple who was preparing for Foundation Establishment to meet Lu Changsheng, so Lu Changsheng could get to know him.

This Lu Family disciple was very young, only thirty-five years old, and extremely respectful in front of Lu Changsheng.

After Lu Changsheng gave a few simple words of encouragement, he went to Hongye Valley Market with Lu Yuanzhong, and then took Lu Miaoge back to Bihu Mountain.

Bihu Mountain, Xumi Grotto-heaven.

“Still not working?”

Lu Changsheng held Ling Zixiao’s wrist and circulated the Yin Yang Creation Scripture, attempting to resolve her Dragon’s Roar Body.

However, the Dragon Qi in her body was too concentrated, and he was currently only at the Foundation Establishment Stage; his Yin and Yang Qi could only play a suppressive role, balancing the Yin and Yang.

He was currently unable to completely resolve the Dragon’s Roar Body.

However, with the Yin Yang Creation Scripture, if he were to use the Dragon Guiding Art to devour the Dragon Roar Source again, it would be much simpler.

He could use his own Yin and Yang magical power to suppress the Dragon Roar Source.

But Lu Changsheng currently didn’t want to use this method to resolve Ling Zixiao’s Dragon’s Roar Body.

Because doing so, even if it resolved the Dragon’s Roar Body, Ling Zixiao would be severely weakened.

Furthermore, Lu Changsheng felt it would be a great pity to simply discard the Dragon’s Roar Body like that.

“If I Breakthrough to Core Formation, by reversing Yin and Yang, I might be able to fundamentally transform the Dragon Roar Source into some kind of Yin and Yang Source, or a Yin Source. In that case, the Dragon’s Roar Body could become an aid.”

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart, stating his thoughts to Ling Zixiao.

“Reversing Yin and Yang…”

Ling Zixiao was stunned by Lu Changsheng’s words.

One must know that Spiritual Bodies are mysterious and profound, and their principles are difficult to explain.

Reversing the Origin of a Spiritual Body was simply a fantasy.

However, she still chose to believe Lu Changsheng.

Moreover, she was also very tempted by Lu Changsheng’s idea.

Although she had a third-grade Spiritual Root.

With this talent, it was too difficult to keep up with Lu Changsheng’s pace.

If she could reverse the Origin of the Dragon’s Roar Body and turn it into an aid, even if the effect was only one-tenth of the Dragon’s Roar Body, it would still be a significant help.

“Lang Jun, I am fine for now, but Xiao He…”

Ling Zixiao said softly.

Currently, with the Dragon Guiding Art, her Dragon’s Roar Body problem wasn’t too big, and she could wait.

What she was worried about was her daughter, Lu Linghe.

A few days ago, her son Lu Lingxiao had already broken through to Lianqi Fourth Layer, and her daughter had also asked her about Cultivation, which made her sad.

“Xiao He’s Dragon’s Roar Body is an incomplete Spiritual Body, and it hasn’t Awakened yet. My magical power is enough to balance her Yin and Yang.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

His Yin and Yang Qi could even suppress Ling Zixiao’s Dragon’s Roar Body, so balancing Lu Linghe’s Yin and Yang would naturally be effortless.

“Since that is the case, then I will trouble Lang Jun.”

Ling Zixiao, in a lake-blue palace dress, with her dark hair neatly coiled and adorned with a blue jade hairpin, had a beautiful, dignified, and elegant face.

“Haha, Xiao He is my daughter, what trouble is there?”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, holding his wife’s delicate hand.

After Core Formation, he wasn’t sure if he could reverse Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Roar Source.

But for his daughter Lu Linghe’s Dragon Roar Source, he had some confidence.

“Mm.”

Ling Zixiao smiled gently, her bright, beautiful eyes filled with soft waves, revealing a hint of admiration and dependence.

Although she was strong and independent, she was also a woman.

After so many years as husband and wife with Lu Changsheng, she had gradually developed a sense of dependence.

When Lu Linghe was about to finish school, the two came to the Lu Family Mansion.

“Daddy, Mommy!”

Lu Linghe returned home and, seeing her parents, happily shouted.

It wasn’t that she was so happy to see her parents, but rather that she was always cheerful.

However, Ling Zixiao considered this cheerfulness to be silly happiness and an innocent smile.

“Xiao He, how’s your martial arts practice recently?”

Lu Changsheng came to his daughter’s side and pinched her still somewhat baby-fat, fair and delicate cheek.

This daughter loved to eat, so her cheeks were a bit chubby and very cute.

“Daddy, take this!”

It wasn’t the first time Lu Linghe had been asked about her martial arts practice by her father, so she directly showed her strength with action.

Immediately, she lowered her head and charged towards Lu Changsheng with a bull-like headbutt.

But her small head was held down by Lu Changsheng, unable to move an inch, as he saw Ling Zixiao shaking her head and sighing beside them.

“Good, good, you’ve made progress, Xiao He. You’ve passed Daddy’s test, and now you can begin Cultivation.”

Lu Changsheng released his hand from his daughter’s head, letting her fall into his embrace, and praised her with a smile.

“Ah, I can Cultivate, really!”

Upon hearing that she could Cultivate, Lu Linghe immediately looked up, her small head tilted back, and said with surprise.

She naturally knew about Cultivation.

It was just that her parents had told her that there had been a problem with her body when she was bathing before, and she needed to practice martial arts well and grow older before she could start Cultivation.

“Of course.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter’s innocent eyes, ruffled her bun, and said dotingly.

“Daddy, after I Cultivate, can I use a Storage Pouch and fly with Magical Artifacts like my brother?”

Lu Linghe asked happily.

She currently didn’t have much feeling for Cultivation.

Mainly, it was inconvenient that she couldn’t use a Storage Pouch.

Normally, when she wanted to look at her Spirit Stone and private stash, she had to ask her older brother and sister for help.

Moreover, she was very envious that her brother could fly with Magical Artifacts.

“That’s right.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, and after using his Yin and Yang Qi to sort out his daughter’s Physical Body, he began to teach her to Cultivate.

Several hours later, Lu Changsheng couldn’t smile anymore.

He had taught so many of his children to Cultivate, but he had never seen his daughter, Lu Linghe, be so slow to grasp things.

“Xiao He has been practicing martial arts for so many years, always using these few moves, and her technique is so unrefined yet effective. I should have realized it long ago.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, feeling a headache.

Ling Zixiao, beside him, didn’t know what to say for a moment either.

She knew her daughter was a bit simple-minded.

But she didn’t know she was this slow to grasp things.

“Daddy, is it like this?”

Lu Linghe didn’t notice anything amiss with her parents at all; she was still full of enthusiasm, showing great interest in Cultivation.

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter’s clear, somewhat foolish eyes and let out a soft breath.

He took her to the top of Biyun Peak, under the Sumi Tree, to let Sumi help his daughter calm her Heart-Nature.

Then, he used his third-tier musical skills to help his daughter guide the Spiritual Qi within her body.

Finally, under Lu Changsheng’s patient guidance, his daughter, Lu Linghe, completed the Qi Introduction into the Body through the Returning Essence Skill.

“Daddy, Daddy, I did it!”

Lu Linghe, having completed the Qi Introduction into the Body, felt the flow of spiritual power within her and said happily.

“Mm, mm, Xiao He is amazing!”

Lu Changsheng rubbed his daughter’s head, praising her with a somewhat stiff smile.

He planned that once he Breakthrough to Core Formation and could use the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror, he would use it on his daughter, Lu Linghe, first.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng taught his daughter how to use a Storage Pouch.

During this, he repeatedly warned her not to use it on people, and not to use it on Rolling.

Only after letting his daughter try it a few times did he feel at ease.

He hadn’t thought his daughter would be this foolish before.

But after teaching his daughter to Cultivate this time, Lu Changsheng felt that this daughter was indeed capable of such things.

“Daddy, when can I fly like my brothers and sisters?”

After playing with the Storage Pouch for a long time, Lu Linghe continued to ask.

“Hmm, Cultivate well these next few days, and later Daddy will give you a Magical Artifact, then you can fly.”

Lu Changsheng knew his daughter envied Lu Lingxiao’s ability to fly, so he prepared to forge a flashy but impractical flying Magical Artifact for her.

“Thank you, Daddy!”

Lu Linghe said happily.

“Alright, it’s time to eat.”

Lu Changsheng patted his daughter’s small head, telling her to go eat.

“Lang Jun.”

After his daughter happily went to eat, Ling Zixiao looked at Lu Changsheng with a face full of worry.

Not only was Lu Changsheng exasperated just now, but she, as the mother, also felt depressed.

She couldn’t understand how she could have given birth to such a simple-minded daughter.

Could it be that her brain was burned by the Dragon’s Roar Body?

“Although Xiao He’s Comprehension Ability is a bit lacking, her Heart-Nature is pure like a newborn. If she can continue like this, it’s also a good thing.”

Lu Changsheng held his wife’s delicate hand and said gently.

His words were not entirely just for comfort.

Everyone has troubles and mental exhaustion, and Cultivators are no exception.

Many Cultivators, despite having good talent, find it difficult to calm their minds during Cultivation due to excessive worries and mental consumption, leading to slow progress and easily encountering Bottlenecks and Heart Demons.

In contrast, some people have a simple and sincere Heart-Nature, without any worries or mental exhaustion, rarely encountering Bottlenecks during Cultivation, possessing a Heart-Nature advantage, which is called ‘Heart of a Newborn’.

“Heart of a Newborn.”

Ling Zixiao thought about it upon hearing this; her daughter, despite her age, had indeed always been傻乐呵 (happily simple-minded), never having any worries.

Even about not being able to Cultivate before, she would only occasionally ask, not caring much, so she could indeed be called a ‘Heart of a Newborn’.

“Now that Lang Jun has put it that way, I feel that Xiao He being like this is quite good too.”

Ling Zixiao leaned into Lu Changsheng’s embrace and said softly.

She felt that her daughter being so carefree was quite good.

After all, with her and Lu Changsheng around, their daughter wouldn’t have too many worries.

But thinking about her daughter’s Cultivation situation just now, she couldn’t help but get a headache thinking about her Cultivating other Cultivation Techniques, spells, and Divine Abilities in the future.

In the days that followed, Lu Changsheng spent his time at Lu with his wives, concubines, and children.

Although Lu Miaoge was pregnant, the baptism of her Dao Seed was not affected.

Moreover, the Taiyi Life-Generating Water Art, as a Dao Companion Cultivation Technique, was somewhat helpful for bearing offspring.

So, during these days, Lu Changsheng also quickly baptized Lu Miaoge’s Dao Seed to further enhance her Foundation.

After three months, Lu Miaoge’s ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’ finally completed its transformation under the baptism of the Yin Yang Creation Scripture.

Lu Miaoge’s cultivation also Breakthrough from Foundation Establishment Stage - Fourth Level to Foundation Establishment Stage - Fifth Level.

The new Supreme Goodness is Like Water Art was more than twice as profound as before.

Furthermore, Lu Miaoge felt that the current Supreme Goodness is Like Water Art was even more compatible with her.

Because the Supreme Goodness is Like Water Art belonged to a support-oriented Cultivation Technique and was not good at offense.

Although the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture added a bit of killing intent to the Cultivation Technique, it was not very compatible with Lu Miaoge.

However, the Yin Yang Creation Scripture was balanced and harmonious, encompassing all things, which was very compatible with the Supreme Goodness is Like Water Art and Lu Miaoge’s Heart-Nature.

After she finished cultivating the new Cultivation Technique, Lu Changsheng also helped Lu Miaoge upgrade and reforge her two Lifebound Spiritual Artifacts.

The original Ruoshui Bottle was named ‘Yin Yang Jade Purifying Bottle’ by Lu Changsheng.

As for the Taiyi Talisman, it remained unchanged, but a few rare Materials were added to upgrade its grade to High Grade Spiritual Artifact.

“It’s a pity about my Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp.

To forge this Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp, it had taken him a lot of time and effort.

Now that he had switched Cultivation Techniques, this Lifebound Spiritual Artifact was no longer suitable for him, and he needed to forge a new Lifebound Spiritual Artifact.

However, this Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp also couldn’t keep up with his Cultivation progress; it was still a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact now.

“Forget it, I’ll consider the Magic Treasure issue after I Breakthrough to Core Formation.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, not overly concerned about the Lifebound Spiritual Artifact and Lifebound Treasure.

Such matters were very time-consuming, energy-consuming, and resource-intensive, and could not be resolved in a short period.

Moreover, the Spirit Stones he had received from kind benefactors in his early years had mostly been spent over the years.

Now, if he were to take out a large sum of Spirit Stones to forge a Lifebound Treasure, he truly couldn’t.

Not to mention, many of the Materials for refining Magic Treasure were very difficult to gather with just Spirit Stones.

After helping his wife upgrade and reforge her Spiritual Artifacts, Lu Changsheng did not forget his daughter Lu Linghe’s Magical Artifact.

He forged a pair of ‘Wind-Fire Wheels’ for his daughter.

Because with his daughter Lu Linghe’s Cultivation, she definitely couldn’t fly with a Magical Artifact.

So, Lu Changsheng refined this Magical Artifact like a Puppet, which could be activated by consuming Spirit Stones, as long as she controlled it herself.

It could be said that this kind of Magical Artifact was purely flashy but impractical, serving no real purpose.

Except for him, almost no Artifact Refiner was willing to refine and forge it.

However, for such a thing, it could only be said that as long as his daughter was happy, it was fine.

“Thank you, Daddy!”

Lu Linghe looked at the pair of Wind-Fire Wheels, her eyes sparkling, very happy, and then wanted to try out the effect of the Wind-Fire Wheels.

However, she was only at Refining Qi Stage - First Level and didn’t even have Divine Sense, so she couldn’t control the Wind-Fire Wheels at all; Lu Changsheng had to help her.

“Buzz!”

As Lu Changsheng raised his hand, the Wind-Fire Wheels under Lu Linghe’s feet slowly rotated, emitting a golden flame, very dazzling.

Then, a gust of azure wind slowly rose, swirling around Lu Linghe, making her fly up.

“Ya ya ya, Daddy, I’m flying!”

Lu Linghe yelled excitedly while standing on the Wind-Fire Wheels, extremely happy.

However, the next day, Lu Changsheng saw his daughter, Lu Wangshu, who was at Qi Refining Ninth Layer, flying around on the pair of Wind-Fire Wheels, looking very happy.

“Daddy, these Wind-Fire Wheels are really interesting! I want them too. Can you make a pair for me too?”

When Lu Wangshu saw her father, she immediately went forward and hooked his arm, looking obedient and trying to please him.

She said that the flying speed of these Wind-Fire Wheels was not enough, and they were too childish.

She wanted one that could fly fast and whose flames could be used as a Magical Artifact.

“???”

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter speechlessly and said, “These were originally made as toys for Xiao He; they are not suitable for use as normal Magical Artifacts.”

“Daddy, please, please, please make one for me~”

Lu Wangshu pleaded coquettishly.

“Alright, alright, when I have time, I’ll make one for you then.”

Under such an offensive, Lu Changsheng could only nod and agree.

There was no other way; a daughter who knew how to act spoiled was lucky.

This daughter knew that he always preferred softness over hardness, so for such small matters, a little coquetry would suffice.

“Mm-hmm, Daddy, you’re busy.”

Lu Wangshu said obediently.

“Cultivate well.”

Lu Changsheng said, leaving Bihu Mountain to go to Qingyun Sect to Cultivate the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art with Xiao Xiyue.

Over the years, he would visit Xiao Xiyue at Qingyun Sect every now and then, or Xiao Xiyue would come to Bihu Mountain.

Now that so much time had passed, he naturally had to go visit her.

Arriving at the entrance of Qingyun Sect, Lu Changsheng thought about his previous Soul Dao dream and suddenly became curious about Xiao Xiyue’s Master, Immortal Master Caiyun.

He wanted to see the demeanor and appearance of this Immortal Master.

However, thinking about how many times he had come to Qingyun Sect and never seen Immortal Master Caiyun, it might be a bit difficult to meet her.

Lu Changsheng didn’t think much further, took out the Yin Yang Communication Talisman, and sent a message to Xiao Xiyue.
