Chapter 5: Becoming a father!

Half a month later.

“Lu Changsheng, you are very good. Not only did you marry three women from my Lu family, but in just half a month, you got Lanshu pregnant!”

“Our Lu family has always been fair in rewards and punishments, and we naturally won’t treat you unfairly. This is your reward!”

“A low-grade magic artifact flying sword!”

“A Green Bamboo magic robe!”

“A bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills!”

“One hundred catties of spirit rice!”

Inside a large hall at Green Bamboo Manor, Lu Yuanding said to Lu Changsheng.

Half a month had passed since Lu Changsheng’s wedding day.

Knowing that relying on his own cultivation had limited effect, Lu Changsheng basically didn’t cultivate during this half month, putting all his energy into procreation.

And his efforts were not in vain.

Lu Lanshu, one of his three wives, was found to be pregnant.

Hearing this news, Lu Changsheng felt extremely happy and excited.

Whether in his previous life or this one, this was the first time he was going to be a father.

Even though the birth of this child was mixed with a lot of utilitarian motives, the joy was genuine.

The moment he learned he was going to be a father, he had already thought of the child’s name.

If it was a boy, he would be named Pingan (Peaceful), and if it was a girl, she would be named Xile (Joyful).

This also reflected his hope that his children would be safe and happy.

When the Lu family head, Lu Yuanding, heard the news, he personally came to Green Bamboo Manor to commend Lu Changsheng.

And he gave out generous rewards.

A low-grade magic artifact was worth fifty spirit stones.

A magic robe was worth thirty spirit stones.

One hundred catties of spirit rice were worth ten spirit stones.

A bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills was worth ten spirit stones.

In other words, Lu Changsheng was rewarded with resources equivalent to one hundred spirit stones.

When the other immortal seedlings heard about this reward, their eyes turned red.

Their gazes towards Lu Changsheng were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

One must know that while cultivating in the Lu family, the resources provided by the Lu family each month were only two spirit stones and ten catties of spirit rice.

And the reward given to Lu Changsheng now was almost three years’ worth of their resources.

Just because he was the first to have a child, he received three years’ worth of resources.

This made them grit their back teeth in frustration.

“Many thanks, Family Head!”

Lu Changsheng also looked delighted and thanked him respectfully.

He hadn’t expected such a reward for being the first to have a child.

However, he also understood that Lu Yuanding was using him to stimulate others, urging them to quickly procreate as well.

“Hehe, this is what you deserve. Our Lu family never treats anyone unfairly.”

“If you give birth to a child, this Family Head will also have rewards.”

“If anyone is the first to give birth to a child with spiritual roots, this Family Head will give even greater rewards!”

Lu Yuanding scanned the crowd as he spoke.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt somewhat stimulated and thought about going home to quickly make babies.

Even Li Feiyu was a little moved.

However.

When others had children later, the reward was only a bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills and ten catties of spirit rice.

It was simply incomparable to Lu Changsheng’s first reward.

Another month or so passed, and Lu Changsheng’s wife, Lu Qinger, also became pregnant.

For the second pregnancy, the family did not give any additional rewards.

If they gave a reward for every child born, the Lu family would probably be emptied long ago.

Then, after another half a month, Lu Changsheng’s third wife, Lu Zier, was also found to be pregnant.

Within just over two months of entering the Lu family, Lu Changsheng had gotten all three wives pregnant, leaving the other immortal seedlings speechless and thinking, ‘Does this guy not cultivate? Is he that dedicated?’

Besides Lu Changsheng’s own tireless efforts, he also constantly calculated the ovulation period, combined with the fertility soup provided by the Lu family, maximizing the chances of conception.

In short, Lu Changsheng could honestly say that he had worked hard.

After all three women were pregnant, Lu Changsheng also began to cultivate with peace of mind.

And because all three wives were pregnant, Fu Bo sent two more maidservants to attend to Lu Changsheng’s family’s daily life.

These two maidservants had fair skin and excellent looks and figures, clearly not just sent to serve their daily needs.

It was obvious that the Lu family saw how good he was at having children and sent them over for him to ‘breed’ with again.

Lu Changsheng currently had no intentions regarding these two maidservants.

He did want to have more children, but this sort of thing couldn’t be rushed; it had to be done slowly, like a steady stream, which was the way to go.

Cultivating daily truly harmed the body.

Before cultivating, doing it too often just made him feel a bit weak.

But after cultivating, Lu Changsheng could clearly feel that his vital essence was being lost, which not only affected his physical condition but also his cultivation speed, requiring time to recover.

This was also why other immortal seedlings were unwilling to go crazy having children.

It would really waste themselves.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year passed.

“Finally, I’ve broken through to Qi Refining Layer One!”

Inside the cultivation room, Lu Changsheng, wearing a green magic robe and sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and his face was full of joy.

It had been about ten months since he came to the Lu family.

He had finally completed Qi Introduction and broken through to Qi Refining Layer One.

He had officially become a cultivator!

This speed was naturally not fast.

But it wasn’t very slow either.

After all, when he first arrived at the Lu family, he had spent a lot of time on having children.

The Qi Refining realm has nine layers, the first three layers are not difficult; as long as one persists in cultivating, it basically happens naturally.

Lu Changsheng’s ability to break through at this speed was also largely thanks to that bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills, which saved him several months of hard cultivation.

Otherwise, Lu Changsheng estimated that he would have needed another two or three months to break through to Qi Refining Layer One.

This also made him realize the importance of wealth and resources in cultivation.

And during this past half year, besides cultivating, he hadn’t been idle.

He had taken in the two maidservants sent by Fu Bo as concubines, and they successfully became pregnant.

In response, Fu Bo sent two more maidservants with good looks.

And he commended him, raising his monthly resources to three spirit stones and twenty catties of spirit rice.

“Lanshu should be giving birth soon.”

Lu Changsheng stood up and slightly adjusted the green bamboo magic robe on his body.

Although this robe was not a magic artifact, it was still quite extraordinary.

After putting it on, it could not only automatically change size to always fit perfectly, but it also had the effects of being impervious to heat and cold and not getting stained with dust.

After coming out of seclusion, Lu Changsheng spent some time with his wives and concubines, and also visited Li Feiyu’s home to catch up.

Among the immortal seedlings who came to the Lu family, he only interacted with Li Feiyu.

Not only because they knew each other from the beginning.

But also because Li Feiyu had saved his life on the way to Green Bamboo Mountain before.

Through this long period of contact, Lu Changsheng also knew that although Li Feiyu spoke little, he was a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart, and could be a close friend.

More than half a month later.

“Don’t be nervous, sister-in-law lives in this Green Bamboo Manor, nourished by spiritual energy, her physique is strong, giving birth won’t be dangerous.”

“Moreover, there are cultivators assisting with the delivery, so don’t worry.”

Outside the room, Lu Changsheng listened to Lu Lanshu’s cries inside, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly, while Li Feiyu comforted him from the side.

“I’m not nervous, I’m just excited and happy.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled, saying.

But his eyes and thoughts were wandering, clearly showing he was just putting on a brave face.

“Have you thought of a name for the child?”

Li Feiyu asked.

Although the child would belong to the Lu family after birth, the father still had the right to name them.

As for the surname, Lu Changsheng’s surname was the same as the Lu family’s, so there was no need to worry about the surname issue.

“Yes, I have. If it’s a boy, he’ll be named Pingan, and if it’s a girl, she’ll be named Xile.”

Lu Changsheng replied casually, his thoughts still drifting.

Not long after, a clear cry of an infant came from inside the room, making Lu Changsheng jolt.

And at this moment, suddenly, a system prompt sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind.

【Congratulations to the host for the birth of the first offspring, gaining one lottery opportunity!】

“Hmm? Lottery?”

Lu Changsheng was startled when he heard the system prompt.

He immediately realized that this was the offspring achievement reward in the system.

He couldn’t view this achievement directly and had to figure it out through exploration.

Without looking at the system lottery, Lu Changsheng looked at the delivery room with a concerned expression.

Not long after, the door opened.

A woman walked out of the room, holding a red, wrinkled baby wrapped in a blanket.

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

Lu Changsheng reached out and took the baby, looking at his wrinkled, red face and dark, bright eyes, a genuine smile appearing on his face.

“From today on, you will be called Lu Pingan.”

“My son!”
