Chapter 595: Lu Baixi breaks through, the Three Treasures Transformation Pearl!
Walking out of the Alchemy Hall, Lu Changsheng saw his wife, Meng Xiaochuan, teaching their daughter, Lu Mengchan, to read and identify spiritual herbs and poisonous plants.
A silver-white, adorable flying bear cub was sprawled beside them, creating a very heartwarming scene.
“Lu Lang.”
“Daddy.”
The mother and daughter immediately called out happily when they saw Lu Changsheng.
“Xiaochuan, Meng’er.”
Lu Changsheng stepped forward and embraced his wife and daughter.
“Was your alchemy smooth, Lu Lang?”
Meng Xiaochuan asked softly, knowing that Lu Changsheng had been refining Condensing Crystal Pills these past few days.
“It was alright, managed to form three pills with difficulty.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
“Ah?”
Meng Xiaochuan was stunned.
Although she wasn’t an alchemist, she knew that a furnace of Condensing Crystal Pills could yield a maximum of three pills.
And Lu Changsheng, on his first attempt at refining Condensing Crystal Pills, actually formed three pills? This, this, this…
If it were someone else, Meng Xiaochuan would definitely dismiss it as nonsense or a joke.
But she had absolute faith in Lu Changsheng’s words!
“As expected of Lu Lang, to succeed on the first attempt at refining Condensing Crystal Pills. Even the chief alchemist in the sect tried many times in his early years before gradually getting the hang of it.”
Meng Xiaochuan said, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration, love, and reverence.
“Daddy is the most amazing!”
Lu Mengchan, with her hair styled in two buns, also said, tilting her small head, looking adorable.
Influenced by her mother Meng Xiaochuan, as well as Bai Ling and Lu Linghe, she had been subtly influenced and worshipped her father Lu Changsheng immensely, believing her daddy was the best in the world and omnipotent.
“Haha.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and pinched her smooth little face, then asked his wife about their daughter Lu Baixi’s breakthrough.
“Xiaoxi is still in the process of breaking through.”
Meng Xiaochuan replied.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Lu Changsheng took his wife and daughter with him.
As the three of them were about to arrive at a side hall, the flying bear beside them began to tremble, not daring to move forward.
It was Lu Baixi’s breakthrough aura that made it feel a suppressive force from its bloodline instinct.
“It seems raising spirit pets for the children at home shouldn’t be below Heaven-grade bloodline, otherwise they’ll be suppressed by bloodline every now and then…”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself when he saw this scene.
Previously, when his daughter took a liking to the flying bear, he thought a Earth-grade bloodline was sufficient.
But now, he felt it was still a bit lacking.
Seeing her pet’s appearance, Lu Mengchan immediately looked concerned, saying, “Qiuqiu!”
“Your Sister Xiaoxi is breaking through, so Qiuqiu is a little scared.”
Lu Changsheng explained the reason to her, then lightly raised his hand to help shield the flying bear from this aura.
However, the latter’s instincts and spiritual sense as a demonic beast still made it feel full of fear towards the front.
“Even if this flying bear doesn’t have a timid personality, raising it like this will probably scare it into one.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.
“Husband.”
“Brother.”
Honglian and Bai Ling were outside the hall, paying attention to Lu Baixi’s breakthrough. Seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, they immediately called out.
“Mm, how is Xiaoxi’s breakthrough going?”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes pierced through the room, seeing his daughter sitting cross-legged, her entire body enveloped in a layer of sacred white light.
The light was like smoke and mist, resembling a white snake coiled around her body. She looked sacred and peaceful, and the snake pattern on her brow flickered on and off, like breathing.
If looked at closely, his daughter seemed to have grown a bit taller than before.
“There shouldn’t be any problem. Xiaoxi has accumulated for so long, her foundation is solid, and the breakthrough process is a matter of course. It’s just that the process might take a bit longer.”
Honglian said.
Lu Changsheng nodded, also feeling that his daughter wouldn’t have any problems.
Although her path was different from theirs.
But her foundation and background were evident here.
Putting aside other things, just this breakthrough phenomenon, how many Foundation Establishment cultivators have such a commotion?
“Was husband’s refinement of the Condensing Crystal Pill smooth?”
At this moment, Honglian asked about Lu Changsheng’s alchemy.
The sources for obtaining Condensing Crystal Pills were not many, and each one was extremely precious.
And apart from Lu Quanzhen, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and Bai Ling, the Lu family would all need Condensing Crystal Pills in the future.
“It was alright, managed to form three pills with difficulty.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
“Ah?”
Even Honglian, who was always calm, elegant, and detached, was surprised and moved when she heard this.
After all, as a third-rank alchemist, she understood the difficulty of refining Condensing Crystal Pills better than Meng Xiaochuan.
Even if she were to refine them, she could at most guarantee one pill, normally produce two, and only with extraordinary performance was it possible to get three.
Yet Lu Changsheng, on his first attempt at refining Condensing Crystal Pills, produced three?
What kind of talent is this?
No, this can no longer be described as talent!
It must be some other method.
“Could it be that as husband’s consciousness awakens, not only can he retrieve the preparations sealed in his previous life, but he can also recover the skills and cultivation methods from his previous life?”
Honglian’s heart was shaken.
After so many years of being together, she had long since determined that Lu Changsheng was a mighty being reincarnated, living as a mortal.
And things like the Sumeru Tree King, Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree, Peachwood Spirit Embryo, Myriad Spirit Bottle, and Golden-winged Great Peng were all preparations made in his previous life.
As his consciousness awakened, they were retrieved from the boundary secret realm.
Now, seeing Lu Changsheng’s unprecedented alchemy talent, she guessed that his talismans, artifact refining, alchemy, music, and so on, were also related to his methods from his previous life.
Otherwise, this simply couldn’t be explained by talent.
Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would find it difficult to achieve such a level!
“Husband’s divine talent is unparalleled, Honglian feels ashamed of her inferiority.”
Honglian was a Nascent Soul True Monarch in her previous life, and she still had some composure in the face of favor or disgrace. She immediately said with a smile, her graceful and beautiful face revealing a detached and noble bearing that looked down on the mortal world, possessing peerless elegance.
“Hehe.”
Lu Changsheng just smiled. After all, this kind of thing was only for showing off a little in front of his wives, concubines, and children.
If he went too far, Old Ancestor Lu himself would feel a little embarrassed.
Half a month later.
In a side hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Lu Changsheng was melting the essence blood of the Spirit Roaming Whale and the Golden-winged Great Peng, attempting to balance Lu Quanzhen’s cultivation method.
“Still not working.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the mutually repelling essence blood before him and shook his head.
He had tried many times these past few days.
The first time, due to the significant difference in bloodline levels between the Spirit Roaming Whale and the Golden-winged Great Peng, the initial melting ended in failure.
Subsequently, Lu Changsheng adjusted the proportion of the two essence bloods, attempting to fuse a large amount of Spirit Roaming Whale essence blood with diluted Golden-winged Great Peng essence blood.
But the bloodline repulsion between the two demonic beasts was too great. Even if they were勉强 merged under his Yin-Yang magic power, he didn’t dare to use it on Lu Quanzhen.
However, during this process, Lu Changsheng made a few unexpected discoveries.
The essence blood of the Golden-winged Great Peng had a beneficial effect on both Lu Quanzhen’s 《Yin-Yang Five Elements Kunpeng Art》 and 《Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demonic Art》.
One aspect was the benefit brought by true spirit essence blood.
Another aspect might be that the Golden-winged Great Peng clan has some relation to the Kunpeng clan.
Or perhaps, his cultivation method can be improved separately through the life origin of the Kun and the Peng.
“The Golden Peng’s Great Peng True Blood is beneficial to Quanzhen, indicating that it can serve as the Peng of the Kunpeng!”
“Although the Spirit Roaming Whale’s essence blood is useful to Quanzhen, its effect is not as good as the Great Peng True Blood…”
“The problem now is that the bloodline levels of the two are too different, making it difficult to balance and fuse. What if I switch to a Heaven-grade bloodline Kun fish…”
Lu Changsheng thought of his Sea Splitting Profound Whale.
Although the Sea Splitting Profound Whale doesn’t have Kunpeng bloodline.
But as a whale with a Heaven-grade top-grade bloodline, it might勉强 serve as the Kun in the Kunpeng.
“You cultivate first. Later, I will go find the true blood of another large fish.”
Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then said to Lu Quanzhen.
The Sea Splitting Profound Whale is currently injured and not convenient for drawing blood.
Moreover, the Golden-winged Great Peng had two jars of essence blood taken by him, and it is now somewhat listless and weak.
After all, essence blood is not ordinary blood, but blood containing life origin.
If too much is lost, it could even damage the foundation.
So he planned to try again later.
“Thank you, Father.”
Lu Quanzhen bowed and saluted, then said, “Your son currently has a cultivation secret art. As long as the preparations are sufficient, I can also break through to Core Formation.”
His foundation is now almost fully restored.
Relying on the Condensing Crystal Pills, Five Elements Spirit Fruits, Core Formation spiritual items given by Lu Changsheng, and this Spirit Roaming Whale, he has a very high chance of breaking through to Core Formation.
It’s just that condensing a high-grade Golden Core has considerable difficulty.
“Mm, you should focus on cultivating the Core Formation secret art during this time.”
Lu Changsheng also held the idea that it’s best if the problem can be solved, but if not, he will break through first.
With his protection and the heavenly materials and earthly treasures prepared, Lu Quanzhen’s breakthrough to Core Formation should not be a problem, at most the cultivation method will have some after-effects.
“Since the two demon kings in the Sea Eye were able to injure the Sea Splitting Profound Whale, it means their strength is extraordinary, at least they have Heaven-grade bloodline…”
Lu Changsheng planned to make a trip to the Sea Eye after finishing the household chores.
“This commotion is really quite big.”
Nine days later, Lu Changsheng listened to the faint sounds of the Great Dao coming from his daughter Lu Baixi’s cave mansion, feeling a surge of emotion.
His daughter’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment didn’t require much spiritual energy.
But these past few days, within the cave mansion, there had been pervasive colorful light and faint sounds of the Great Dao, which was simply outrageous.
As this faint sound grew louder, like a beautiful piece of music playing, a warm current surged into his limbs and bones out of thin air.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind.
[Congratulations to the host, your first offspring has become a second-rank demonic beast, granting one advanced lottery opportunity!]
“???”
Lu Changsheng was slightly stunned when he heard this system prompt.
Ah?
What’s going on?
Xiaoxi’s breakthrough actually came with a reward.
“Is it because Xiaoxi isn’t considered a human cultivator in the system’s eyes, so she’s classified differently?”
“However, her situation being considered demonic is also normal. She just broke through and not only gained a magic power bonus but also a physique bonus…”
Although his daughter Lu Baixi was born to him and Bai Ling, if speaking of bloodline, the Bai Xi bloodline in her body was definitely more concentrated.
Even though Lu Changsheng believed his Lu clan bloodline would be unparalleled in the future and definitely surpass true spirit bloodlines.
But he had to admit that his current bloodline was far from comparable to a true spirit bloodline.
Putting aside other things, Bai Ling, who possessed a thin true spirit bloodline, cultivated at a speed comparable to a top-grade spiritual root. How could ordinary people compare?
“Hiss, isn’t the system encouraging me to have more children and develop more in the direction of demonic beasts?”
“Wait, since humans and demonic beasts are separated, are the legendary demon race, and certain other races, also calculated for rewards separately?”
After a moment of confusion, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt as if a new world had opened up.
Although he had previously thought about having more true spirit descendants and trying to form great demons.
But he had never thought in this direction at all.
“It’s a pity that the demonic race is too broad. If each race were separated into a category, it would be much simpler.”
Lu Changsheng was a bit dissatisfied, thinking that the demonic race included all demonic beasts and demonic plants.
Without thinking further, he quietly waited for his daughter to finish her breakthrough and come out.
Lu Baixi’s breakthrough commotion was incredibly astonishing. The musical sounds of the Great Dao almost spread throughout the entire City Lord’s Mansion, causing Lu Miaoge and Lu Wangshu to also feel something and come to check.
After a long time, his daughter Lu Baixi finally walked out of the cave mansion.
“Mother, Daddy, Auntie, Sister, you’re all here.”
Lu Baixi looked at Lu Changsheng and the others and called out.
“Xiaoxi, congratulations on breaking through to Foundation Establishment.”
“Eh, Xiaoxi, you’ve grown taller…”
Lu Changsheng and the others were all a bit surprised to see Lu Baixi before them.
This daughter’s growth trajectory was completely different from other human children.
At two or three years old, she was as big as a five or six-year-old child.
At five or six years old, she was almost the same as an eight or nine-year-old child.
However, from then on, she stopped growing and maintained that appearance.
Now, having broken through to the second rank, his daughter suddenly grew a lot, looking like she was eleven or twelve years old. Her exquisite features and appearance were like a perfect masterpiece from heaven, giving people a sense of beauty and holiness.
“Xiaoxi, you’ve broken through! Come, let me see how much your strength has increased!”
Lu Linghe immediately stepped forward and said to Lu Baixi.
Every time she broke through, Daddy would test her strength like this.
So, as a sister, she also used this method to help her sister test her strength.
“Sister, be careful.”
The two sisters had a very good relationship. Lu Baixi pursed her lips, nodded, and then swung her pink little fist.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
It looked like a simple pink fist, but it caused the air to make a piercing whistling sound.
And Lu Linghe was completely fearless, also swinging her fair little fist.
“Bang!!!”
The fists of the two sisters collided, stirring up a fierce gust of wind.
If the City Lord’s Mansion hadn’t been equipped with restrictions and all the floors and buildings weren’t made of ordinary materials, just the power of this aftermath would have caused houses to collapse and floors to shatter.
“Wow, Xiaoxi, how did your strength increase so much!”
Lu Linghe staggered back a few steps, then exclaimed.
You know, her Body Cultivation had already broken through to the second rank long ago.
But just now, facing Lu Baixi’s fist, she actually couldn’t quite block it.
“I don’t know either. When I grew up, my strength just got bigger.”
Compared to the boisterous Lu Linghe, Lu Baixi was very quiet, usually not making a fuss.
“This kind of physique is indeed worthy of a true spirit bloodline!”
Honglian could see that Lu Baixi hadn’t exerted her full strength and hadn’t used any magic power at all.
If they were to truly fight, Lu Linghe, who had broken through to Foundation Establishment years ago, might not be Lu Baixi’s match.
“What’s going on with Xiaoxi?”
Lu Wangshu, who was beside them, was also shocked by this sister.
Even though she knew this sister was extraordinary and possessed demonic beast bloodline.
But seeing her break through to Foundation Establishment at fifteen years old.
Having just broken through, her physique was already not weaker than Lu Linghe’s, which still made her heart tremble.
“Meng’er won’t be such a genius too, will she?”
At this moment, she thought that genius younger siblings would be brought by their father to teach, and looked at Lu Mengchan, who was lying on the flying bear in the distance.
However, thinking of this sister’s usually timid and easily tearful appearance, she dismissed this idea.
She believed that Lu Mengchan was simply Meng Xiaochuan’s daughter, which is why she was always kept by her side, and it was impossible for every one of them to be as monstrous as Lu Baixi.
If the future younger siblings were all as monstrous as Lu Baixi, how would others live!
“Xiaoxi, how do you feel after breaking through? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Lu Changsheng stopped the two sisters from continuing their sparring and asked his daughter.
Even he hadn’t expected that his daughter’s breakthrough to the second rank could bring such a significant increase and change.
“It seems like I gained a few more spells, and also a lot of symbols and graphics that I don’t understand.”
Lu Baixi tilted her head, saying with a cute expression, then her pair of eyes, which were tinged with white gold, stared intently at Lu Changsheng before her, full of hope and longing.
In the whole family, only Daddy could teach her cultivation and answer her questions.
“…”
Lu Changsheng saw the desire for learning in his daughter’s eyes, rubbed her head, and said, “You must be hungry after breaking through these past few days, go eat first.”
After dinner, Lu Changsheng ultimately couldn’t escape teaching his daughter and analyzing her bloodline inheritance for her.
It could be seen that this was her subsequent cultivation method.
However, in addition to the subsequent cultivation method, there were also many techniques and secret arts, simply all-encompassing and extremely complete.
It could be said that this kind of bloodline inheritance was a portable cultivation method library, completely eliminating the worry about cultivation methods.
“Phew!”
After teaching for a long time, Lu Changsheng rubbed his aching brow, indicated for her to go play with Lu Linghe, relax, and balance work and rest, while he returned to his cave mansion to rest.
Tutoring his daughter Lu Baixi’s schoolwork was simply torture.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng remembered the lottery brought by his daughter’s breakthrough, and felt a little more comforted. He silently chanted, “System, lottery.”
The system’s large turntable appeared before him.
Looking at the lottery wheel, Lu Changsheng felt that his head wasn’t so dizzy anymore.
His heart began to look forward to his daughter’s breakthrough to the third rank.
As the turntable began to spin, a pattern of a snow-white, transparent treasure pearl emerged from the large turntable, accompanied by a system prompt.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a rare treasure: Three Treasures Transformation Pearl!]
[The reward has been issued to the system space, the host can view it at any time.]
