Chapter 84: Giving Birth! Pregnancy +10! Lottery!

Outside the delivery room.

Lu Changsheng, holding his son Lu Quanzhen, waited outside with several of his wives and concubines.

Lu Quanzhen was his first child with Qu Zhenzhen, possessing an eighth-grade spiritual root.

“Wah!”

Before long, a clear cry rang out from the delivery room, lifting Lu Changsheng’s spirits.

However, at this moment, he did not feel any abnormality or throbbing.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng knew.

The child that Qu Zhenzhen gave birth to did not have a spiritual root.

After anticipating it for so long, at this moment, learning that the child did not have a spiritual root, it was impossible to say that he wasn’t disappointed.

However, after a moment, Lu Changsheng was relieved.

Even if both husband and wife possessed spiritual roots, the probability of their child possessing one was only ten to twenty percent.

Qu Zhenzhen’s first child and Lu Miaoyun’s child last month both possessed spiritual roots, which was already fortunate.

How could he expect every child to possess one?

Lu Changsheng was very open-minded in this regard, holding Lu Quanzhen as he walked into the delivery room.

The midwife immediately held a swaddled infant, carefully handing it to Lu Changsheng with a face full of smiles, saying, “Congratulations, son-in-law, it’s a girl.”

“Okay, thank you for your hard work.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, taking the swaddling clothes and looking at the child.

Qu Zhenzhen’s previous child was a boy, and this one was a girl, so it could be considered that she had both a son and a daughter.

“Quanzhen, this is your little sister.”

Lu Changsheng looked at this newborn child and said to Lu Quanzhen.

“Meme, meme.”

Lu Quanzhen was already a year and a half old and could say some simple words.

He looked at his newborn sister with a curious expression, babbling.

Lu Changsheng came to the bedside and put down Lu Quanzhen.

Looking at Qu Zhenzhen’s somewhat pale and weak face, he held her small hand with some heartache and said, “Zhenzhen, you’ve worked hard.”

Towards this girl whom he had rescued halfway, he had always been quite fond of her.

One reason was that the girl was indeed well-behaved and sensible, and lovable.

Another reason was that Qu Zhenzhen possessed a spiritual root, and he had brought Qu Zhenzhen back to Green Bamboo Mountain with utilitarian intentions.

In addition, the latter had a pitiful background, being lonely and helpless, with only him, so he loved her even more.

“Husband.”

Qu Zhenzhen showed a smile on her face, calling out to Lu Changsheng softly, and then wanted to get up to look at the child.

“Look, how cute, when she grows up, she will definitely be as cute as Zhenzhen.”

Lu Changsheng immediately handed the child to her to look at, saying with a smile.

“Quanzhen, in the future, you must take good care of your sister, protect your sister, understand?”

Qu Zhenzhen showed a smile on her face, and then looked at her ignorant son Lu Quanzhen, saying softly.

Lu Changsheng saw Qu Zhenzhen’s expression and knew that she was thinking of her childhood, thinking of her older brother Qu Changge.

He had not told Qu Zhenzhen about Qu Changge’s cultivation of demonic arts.

He only said that he had asked people to look for him, but there was still no news.

Now that more than two years had passed, and there was still no news of her older brother, Qu Zhenzhen had gradually realized that her older brother was probably in mortal danger.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng held Qu Zhenzhen’s hand, comforting her softly, “With your husband here, I will also take good care of you and protect you.”

In this world, wives, concubines, and children were also his weakness, one of the motivations for his efforts.

In his opinion, if he couldn’t even protect his wives, concubines, and children, then this immortality would be cultivated in vain.

“Husband, have you thought about the name of this child?”

Qu Zhenzhen asked, her delicate face showing a sweet smile.

“Name… Let’s call her Yuzhen.”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, giving the little girl in his arms a name.

“Quanzhen, Yuzhen.”

Qu Zhenzhen heard the name, murmured it once, and then gently said to the little girl, “Yuzhen, Lu Yuzhen.”

The infant in her arms also ‘wah’ed softly, as if in response.

Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng and Qu Zhenzhen couldn’t help but smile at each other.

Immediately, the couple talked for a while, and Lu Changsheng let Qu Zhenzhen rest well, taking the child out of the room.

On a solemn, somber, and eerie high platform, the yin wind howled.

Around the high platform, stood tall metal flagpoles, with black flags embroidered with different forms of demon patterns.

Some had three heads and six arms, some had hideous faces, some were covered in eyes, some had demon heads and human bodies with wings, and some had no heads, with their faces growing on their chests…

These patterns, which varied in shape and looked lifelike, made people feel a chill in their hearts, as if they were being watched by demons.

In the center of the high platform, there was a young man in his twenties, with a cold face and white hair, sitting cross-legged, with many strange patterns and runes engraved around him.

At this time, within these rune patterns, dark red blood threads flowed, constantly converging towards the white-haired youth in the center.

This caused the white-haired youth’s face to be full of pain, his fists clenched tightly, his veins bulging, his blood surging, and cold sweat constantly pouring out.

But the white-haired youth only clenched his teeth tightly, not uttering a word, enduring it to the death.

It was unknown how long had passed, but the demon patterns on the flags around the high platform seemed to come alive.

Suddenly opening their scarlet eyes, they looked at the white-haired youth, causing the entire high platform to be filled with a large amount of blood-colored light.

Under the shroud of this blood-colored light, the white-haired youth grunted suddenly.

Blood flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and the tendons and blood vessels all over his body bulged out of his flesh like earthworms, almost bursting.

“Boom!”

At this moment, the white-haired youth, covered in blood and with a painful expression, burst out a layer of scarlet blood-like film from his body.

This film was like blood that had not yet dried, slowly flowing on the surface of his body, slowly transforming into a strange blood-colored battle armor.

This caused dark red magic patterns to appear on the white-haired youth’s face and skin.

“Not bad, you have completed the Heavenly Demon Art in less than a year.”

At this moment, a young man in a black wide robe with an exceptionally handsome face walked out of the void.

He looked at the white-haired youth, revealing a satisfied smile.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he took the white-haired youth and disappeared from the high platform.

Four days after Qu Zhenzhen gave birth to her child, Lu Miaoge also returned to Green Bamboo Mountain.

And she agreed with Lu Changsheng to set off back to Nine Dragons Market Town in three days.

In these few days, Lu Changsheng discussed with his wives and concubines, and finally decided to let them stay at Green Bamboo Mountain.

Not only was it inconvenient to travel back and forth.

There were also so many children at home that needed to be taken care of, and he was really a little reluctant to leave.

During this month at home, Lu Changsheng did not slack off, and through hard work, he made two of his wives and concubines pregnant.

Including these two children, he now had thirty-four children.

However, thinking that his twenty-ninth and thirtieth children still had almost three months before they were born, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh.

He felt that he had been too lazy during that period of time, and there was such a long interval.

Three days later.

Lu Changsheng rode the Iron Feather Eagle and set off to Nine Dragons Market Town with Lu Miaoge.

Before setting off, the Fourth Elder gave him three more protective talismans.

Two Lightning Attraction Talismans and one Lightning Light Talisman.

Because Lu Changsheng had told the Fourth Elder before that he had encountered rogue cultivators before and had used these two talismans.

Although Lu Changsheng now had nine top-grade talismans in his storage bag.

He naturally accepted the Fourth Elder’s kindness with a happy and moved expression.

The two returned to Nine Dragons Market Town, and the journey was very stable, with no unexpected situations.

This made Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but ask Lu Miaoge if she had encountered any accidents or rogue cultivators during her years of traveling back and forth from Nine Dragons Market Town.

Lu Miaoge said that in three years, she had only encountered a rogue cultivator once.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head, wondering if he was unlucky or if he looked like a fat sheep.

After returning to his residence, Lu Changsheng learned from Xiaoqing that.

The family next door to his left had moved away about half a month after he returned to Green Bamboo Mountain.

This made Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but wonder if his assassination was related to this neighbor.

After all, according to the previous speculation about the Demon Enticement Incense, the two rogue cultivators who intercepted him must have accomplices in Nine Dragons Market Town.

And when he visited this neighbor before, he felt that the other party had a fierce aura and was not easy to approach.

Moreover, the other party also moved away half a month after he left, which was too coincidental.

However, since the other party had moved away, Lu Changsheng could not determine whether it was true or not, and could only be more careful in his heart.

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng disguised himself and carefully disposed of a wave of stolen goods.

He kept the middle-grade magic weapon shield and a flying magic weapon from the previous two rogue cultivators for his own use.

He sold all the other seven low-grade magic weapons, four middle-grade magic weapons, and one flying magic weapon.

These magic weapons sold for a total of nine hundred and eight spirit stones.

The magic robes and magic shoes were a bit damaged, and the discount was serious, plus he found a shop to recycle them, so the price was low.

Otherwise, if he went to set up a stall to sell them, he could have earned dozens more spirit stones.

As for the pills, talismans, and odds and ends on the two rogue cultivators, it was not easy to recycle them.

Lu Changsheng used what he could use, and put away what he couldn’t use for now.

Previously, he had received three hundred and sixty-two spirit stones from the two rogue cultivators.

Now, after keeping the shield magic weapon and the flying magic weapon, he sold another nine hundred and eight spirit stones. Lu Changsheng was very satisfied with this wave of harvest.

He felt that these two rogue cultivators were not so hateful anymore.

While selling magical artifacts, he also casually sold over a hundred low and mid-grade talismans.

He earned two hundred and eleven spirit stones.

Looking at the huge sum of spirit stones he had, Lu Changsheng directly splurged, spending six hundred and thirty-four spirit stones to purchase a high-grade magical artifact soft armor.

This magical artifact soft armor had seven major effects: size adjustment, magic immunity, invisibility, spring-like comfort, dust repulsion, evil repulsion, and body protection.

What Lu Changsheng liked most was naturally the magic immunity and body protection effects.

This magic immunity was naturally not true magic immunity; it could basically ignore most spells from the early stages of Qi training.

For spells from the mid-stages of Qi training, it could also reduce and dissipate damage.

As for the body protection effect, there was no need to explain it much.

When encountering danger, it could passively trigger a body protection technique that could withstand a full blow from the ninth level of Qi training.

Lu Changsheng was willing to spend so many spirit stones to buy this magical artifact for these two effects.

Afterward, he spent another two hundred and nineteen spirit stones to buy a mid-grade magical artifact belt.

This magical artifact belt mainly had two effects.

One was storage, and the other was body protection.

Lu Changsheng mainly valued the body protection.

After all, the previous assassination attempt made Lu Changsheng particularly fond of magical artifacts with body protection techniques.

The newest chapters are available on the Liu Jiu Shu Ba website!

He had talismans and talisman treasures on him, maximizing his output; now, he just needed to stack up his armor.

After purchasing the two magical artifacts, Lu Changsheng considered the matter of the rogue cultivator accomplices and needed to take some precautions.

He spent another five hundred spirit stones to purchase a set of array tools to set up in his courtyard.

This was a set of first-order mid-grade array, the Minor Five Elements Array, with integrated attack, defense, and enemy trapping effects.

It was not a problem to deal with cultivators in the mid-stages of Qi training.

It also had some effect against cultivators in the later stages of Qi training.

After buying everything, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh, feeling that he really was the type of person who would spend as many spirit stones as he had.

He simply couldn’t save spirit stones.

However, this was also the current situation for most cultivators.

Most cultivators had the idea of ‘The neighbor hoards grain, I hoard guns; the neighbor is my granary.’

If you have spirit stones and don’t use them to improve your strength, they might end up benefiting others, so not many people save money or resources.

In the following days, Lu Changsheng spent his time cultivating, making talismans, going to work, and going home to make babies.

After more than half a month of effort, Guan Xin, as Lu Changsheng’s key focus, successfully conceived.

After Guan Xin conceived, Lu Changsheng was actually quite casual about the remaining nine maids.

It was fine if they conceived, and it didn’t matter if they didn’t.

However, with this kind of thing, as long as it happened once or twice, it was only a matter of time before they conceived.

A little over a month later, Lu Changsheng’s maids, Ye Lian and Cang Lan, conceived.

“Haitang and Baihe have been arranged by me to be housekeepers, and they usually have to work, so I try not to let them conceive.”

“But if this continues, won’t the remaining five maids also conceive in at most two or three months?”

“At that time, am I going to buy another batch of maids? What am I becoming? A breeding pig?”

Lu Changsheng sighed deeply.

Deep down, he still couldn’t let go of this kind of thing and had a bit of a psychological burden.

He felt that it was purely for the sake of procreation, without any emotional lubrication, which seemed too much like a breeding stallion and wasn’t very good.

“No, the women in the White Jade Tower are destined to be miserable. What I’m doing is also rescuing them from suffering, which is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda!”

“Moreover, I’m doing this for cultivation, for immortality, for the Great Dao, so what breeding stallion or not, even if it’s not understood by others, as long as I have a clear conscience!”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes, firm in his pursuit of immortality.

Another month or so passed.

The maids Hongmian, Zimei, and Xue Shao conceived.

Lu Changsheng planned that when the remaining two women conceived, he would go to the White Jade Tower again.

At that time, he would also have saved some spare money.

He could see if there were any other miserable people with spiritual roots.

One day, Lu Changsheng came to the talisman shop, and Lu Miaoge said to him.

“Changsheng, you are now familiar with the shop and can handle it alone.”

“I plan to stay at the East District courtyard after this month and won’t come here often.”

“If you have anything, you can send a message or come to find me.”

Lu Miaoge said.

She had mentioned this matter to Lu Changsheng before, saying that once he was familiar and adapted, she would no longer come.

“Okay, Sister Miaoge, don’t worry, leave the shop to me.”

Lu Changsheng nodded in response upon hearing this.

He had been at the talisman shop for more than half a year.

In the past six months, he had completely understood and mastered the situation of the talisman shop.

There was no problem in managing it.

Moreover, in the previous two months, Lu Miaoge had completely delegated authority and didn’t manage anything at all.

She only came here to make it convenient for Lu Changsheng to ask questions.

So last month, Lu Changsheng also created a nonexistent cooperative partner.

He directly took more than a hundred low-grade talismans and thirty mid-grade talismans to the shop for acquisition every month.

As for the price, Lu Changsheng didn’t take advantage of the shop, using the unified 70% price.

Doing so mainly saved him the unnecessary trouble and risk of disguising himself and running outside every now and then.

As for high-grade and top-grade talismans, Lu Changsheng had not yet taken them to the shop for sale.

He planned to consider putting a few high-grade talismans in the shop for sale after a while.

Two days later.

Shopkeeper Zhang Shan handed the goods and the list to Lu Changsheng for inspection and spot checks.

Now that Lu Miaoge was gone, it took Lu Changsheng a full three days to spot-check all the goods.

“It feels like it takes too much time and energy to rely on me alone to do the spot checks.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled a long breath, feeling a bit dizzy.

It was fine when Lu Miaoge was here before; the combination of a man and a woman made the work less tiring.

But now, being here alone to spot-check the quality of the goods was too boring and annoying.

“Gao He is also a mid-grade talisman master. Should I invite him over to help every month?”

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of his neighbor Gao He.

Usually, Gao He would come to chat with him and invite him over for tea.

After so long, Lu Changsheng felt that Gao He was a pretty good person.

So he thought about inviting Gao He to come over and help for a few days each month.

Of course, he wouldn’t let the other party work for nothing; he would just ask Gao He if he was willing to earn some extra money.

“I’ll go ask Gao He after I get back tonight.”

Lu Changsheng made up his mind and prepared to ask later.

There was nothing embarrassing about this kind of thing.

Night fell.

Lu Changsheng returned home, ate dinner, exercised a little, and knocked on the door of Gao He’s house next door.

Gao He was teaching his daughter Gao Xiaoya how to make talismans; his usually kind and wealthy face was somewhat distorted at the moment.

“Uncle Lu!”

“Dad, Uncle Lu is here. You guys chat, I’ll make tea for you!”

Gao Xiaoya’s eyes lit up when she saw Lu Changsheng, and she immediately showed a look of relief, getting up to make tea.

She had no interest in making talismans at all, and she didn’t have much talent either.

However, Gao He wanted his daughter to learn this skill, even if she didn’t have talent, he would use money to force it out.

“Brother Lu is here. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Gao He just smiled helplessly at his daughter’s behavior and asked.

Usually, he was the one who invited Lu Changsheng over, and Lu Changsheng rarely took the initiative to chat with him.

So when he saw Lu Changsheng coming over, he guessed that something must be up.

“It’s nothing big.”

Lu Changsheng immediately told him about his situation.

And he said that he was willing to pay a daily wage of ten spirit stones.

For a mid-grade talisman master, this price was already good.

“Since Brother Lu trusts me, I’m more than happy to do this kind of thing.”

Gao He patted his chest and said with a smile.

“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble Brother Gao.”

After Lu Changsheng finished speaking, he chatted with Gao He for a few words and prepared to leave.

Gao Xiaoya, who had made the tea, saw that Lu Changsheng was about to leave.

She immediately shouted, “Hey, Uncle Lu, won’t you sit for a while longer and have a cup of tea before you go?”

“No, I have something to do.”

Lu Changsheng immediately waved his hand, went out, and left.

He had no interest in getting involved in the affairs between their father and daughter.

Just as he walked out the door, Lu Changsheng heard Gao Xiaoya shouting and howling, and couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

The remaining two maids, Qinghe and Shuixian, also conceived.

Lu Changsheng arranged for Haitang and Baihe to do daily chores.

The other seven maids were all pregnant in just over four months.

This was even with one month when Lu Changsheng had been in Qingzhu Mountain and hadn’t returned.

Just when Lu Changsheng was preparing to go to the White Jade Tower one day.

A system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for reaching a total of thirty children, you have received one chance to draw a prize!]
