Establish A Long-Lived Family From The Son-In-Law

Chapter 129: Giving Birth to Spiritual Bodies, Double Lottery!

After paying respects to their parents with Qu Zhenzhen, Lu Changsheng returned to Ruyi County City.

He stayed in Ruyi County City for three days, accompanying his wives and children, before leaving with Xia Zhuyue and Qu Zhenzhen.

He did not return to Qingzhu Mountain.

Instead, he went directly to Jiulongfang Market.

One reason was that he didn't want to make an extra trip.

Another reason was that he still had use for this flying boat.

He needed to send several maids and children from the market to the secular world.

Five days later, the flying boat landed outside Jiulongfang Market.

After Lu Changsheng obtained temporary identity cards for the two women, they entered the market.

When they returned to Qingzhu Mountain, seven out of the nine pregnant women had already given birth.

The remaining two were due to give birth in two months.

"Now I have eighteen children with spiritual roots. I wonder if these two children have spiritual roots," Lu Changsheng thought with some anticipation.

Both of these maids were purchased from Baiyu Tower and had ninth-grade spiritual roots.

Therefore, there was a good chance that the children in their wombs would also have spiritual roots.

However, it would be difficult for both of them to have spiritual roots.

Lu Changsheng didn't pay too much attention to it either.

After settling Qu Zhenzhen and Xia Zhuyue, Lu Changsheng took Xia Zhuyue to the neighboring courtyard.

It was the courtyard where Xia Long used to live.

He wanted his daughter to see her father's former residence.

Seeing the empty and dusty courtyard, and thinking of her deceased father, Xia Zhuyue felt sad and distressed, her eyes turning red.

Lu Changsheng, who couldn't bear to see such a scene, also sighed.

He could only comfort her as much as possible.

He let her cry and call out "father" all night, filling the void in her heart.

The next day, Lu Changsheng went to the Eastern District Lu Family Mansion.

He paid his respects to the second elder who had already arrived and took back control of the Spiritual Talisman Shop.

During these six months, without the supply of top-grade talismans from the fourth elder and a decrease in high-grade talismans, the business of the Spiritual Talisman Shop inevitably suffered.

Faced with this situation, the Lu Family's solution was simple.

They offered promotions and discounts, provided more high-grade and top-grade talismans, and gradually revived the business.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

During these three months, only Xiao Qing, who had stayed behind, became pregnant.

It wasn't that Lu Changsheng didn't want to have children.

The maids with spiritual roots had just given birth and needed time to recover.

Xia Zhuyue had only recently broken through to the third level of Qi Refinement.

Lu Changsheng is planning to wait for her to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refinement before considering having children.

As for Baihe, Haitang, and other ordinary maidservants without spiritual roots, with the current situation of having so many wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng does not plan to have any more children.

After all, it is about eugenics and reproductive health.

"It has been over three months since I left this time, it's time to go back."

In the Lingfu Shop, after finishing his cultivation, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and let out a sigh.

He was preparing to return to Qingzhu Mountain to see his wives and children.

Instead of going directly back to Qingzhu Mountain, he piloted a flying boat and brought Quzhenzhen, Baihe, Haitang, and other maidservants, as well as a group of children, to the mortal world.

As for Xia Zhiyue's words, he temporarily settled in Jiulongfang City.

One reason is that Jiulongfang City needs someone to take care of it.

Another reason is that it doesn't look good to bring people back home so soon after marrying Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan.

After settling the maidservants and children in the mortal world and staying for two days, Lu Changsheng took Quzhenzhen back to Qingzhu Mountain.

After returning to Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Changsheng returned the spirit boat.

He stayed at home for three days, accompanying his wives and children.

The Five Yuns and He Gong of the Yin and Yang Union Technique also came in handy at this moment.

However, the Five Yuns and He Gong are not foolproof.

It only increases the probability.

Lu Changsheng also didn't know how effective it was in these three days.

Three days later, amidst the reluctance of his wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng rode the Iron Feather Eagle and took Jianglouyue back to Jiulongfang City.

Qingyun Sect.

Caiyun Peak, Mingyue Residence.

Xiao Xiyue wore a white dress, her face cold, her temperament ethereal, like a fairy in the moon palace.

"Yun Wuqing, Yue Wuqing."

She looked at the "Supreme Forgetfulness Technique" she was practicing.

She had already thoroughly understood the cultivation methods inside and had reached the mid-stage of Qi Refinement.

But when it came to the realm and artistic conception of the technique, she still couldn't grasp the essence and failed to comprehend it.

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Xiyue sighed lightly, took the technique, and came to the top of Caiyun Peak.

As soon as she arrived at the palace, she saw a tall and slender figure in colorful clothes, standing at the railing, gazing into the distance.

From the side, one could see the woman's graceful figure swaying in the loose colorful clothes, like peaks and valleys in a secluded valley.

Her long black and smooth hair fell to her waist, as if trying to cover her mature and plump buttocks.

"Master."

Xiao Xiyue respectfully called out.

She couldn't remember when it started, probably three or four years ago, her master gradually began to enjoy being alone here, gazing into the distance.

"Xiyue, you're here, is there something you need?"

Yun Wanshang turned her head and looked at her, a faint smile appearing on her stunning face.

"Master, I have disappointed you. I still can't grasp the artistic conception of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique."

Note: The translation provided is a faithful representation of the original Chinese text. However, it is important to note that Chinese and English have different linguistic and cultural nuances, so some meaning may be lost or altered in translation.

Xiao Xiyue took out the technique in her hand and said softly.

"Ah."

Yun Wanshang looked at her once lively and agile disciple. Due to practicing the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, her face now appeared cold, her beautiful eyes were calm like water, her temperament was serene and holy. She sighed softly.

"Xiyue, what is your understanding of the first level of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, 'Cloud Without Emotion, Moon Without Emotion'?"

Yun Wanshang asked.

"Cloud and moon are both in the sky, but the moon is thousands of miles away from the clouds. They are unrelated to each other, naturally cloud without emotion, moon also without emotion."

Xiao Xiyue spoke, expressing her understanding.

"Xiyue, clouds carry the light of the moon and reflect colorful clouds on the ground. From the perspective of people on the ground, the moon is in the clouds, and the clouds gather together. They depend on each other."

"So, to achieve emotionlessness in the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, one must first experience emotional tribulations, the joys and sorrows of parting and reunion, in order to gain great enlightenment and understand the essence of forgetfulness."

"Before, I asked Yun Lao to refine the Red Dust Pill, thinking that by relying on it, you could understand the worldly distractions and overcome this step. But now it seems that you still have to rely on yourself in the end."

Yun Wanshang said.

Although Yun Wanshang had not practiced the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, her vision was naturally extraordinary. She knew the profound mysteries of the technique.

"Experiencing emotional tribulations."

Xiao Xiyue naturally understood what experiencing emotional tribulations meant.

It meant experiencing worldly love, the joys and sorrows of parting and reunion.

But as she continued to practice the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, she could clearly feel herself becoming more and more indifferent.

She was rarely moved by emotions and disturbances.

In this situation, it was very difficult to experience the joys and sorrows of parting and reunion.

As for love.

After practicing the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, Xiao Xiyue no longer knew what love was.

"If it doesn't work out, I won't practice the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique anymore."

"This kind of technique, if one fails to practice it and becomes too immersed in it, one might even fall into demonic cultivation and neglect oneself."

"With your talent and aptitude, even if you don't cultivate the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, you can still build a solid foundation in the Dao."

Yun Wanshang spoke, saying so.

She had hesitated before, whether to let Xiao Xiyue practice the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique.

But five years ago, after experiencing a tribulation of emotions herself, her mindset and thoughts had changed.

She gradually realized that emotional tribulations were not easy to overcome.

One careless move could lead to being trapped in them.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Xiyue spoke softly, "Master, I want to give it another try."

"I will give you three more years. If you still can't succeed in three years, then you can give up on the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique."

Yun Wanshang looked at her disciple and said.

"Xiyue will listen to Master."

A gentle and lively smile appeared in Xiao Xiyue's cold eyes.

Half a year later.

Qingzhu Valley.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun supported Lu Miaoge outside the delivery room.

Lu Yuanding was also there.

The patriarch was pacing back and forth at this moment.

His fists were constantly clenched and then released, his expression extremely nervous.

The reason was simple.

Lu Miaohuan was about to give birth.

"Lord Father-in-law, Huanhuan has reached the sixth level of Qi Refinement, she will be fine."

Lu Changsheng had never seen the patriarch in such a nervous state before, and comforted him.

"Mm."

Lu Yuanding nodded.

But he still stared at the delivery room, extremely anxious.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng didn't say anything.

If he said too much, it would seem like he, as the husband and father, didn't care about his wife and children.

Suddenly.

"Wah--"

A clear cry of a baby came from inside the room.

Everyone outside trembled and showed joy on their faces.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng felt a strong tremor surging through his body, a mysterious and indescribable feeling.

At the same time, two system notification sounds rang in his mind.

[Congratulations, Host, for giving birth to twenty children with spiritual roots, and you have one chance to draw a lottery!]

[Congratulations, Host, for giving birth to your first child with a spiritual body, and you have one chance to draw a lottery!]

"What, a spiritual body!"

Lu Changsheng heard the two system notification sounds and felt as if the world had turned upside down. He was ecstatic.

He never expected that the child born to Lu Miaohuan would not only have spiritual roots, but also a spiritual body!

Among a million children, there was only one with a spiritual body.

At this stage, he had never dared to hope that his child would have a spiritual body.

Having spiritual roots was already satisfying enough.

But unexpectedly, the surprise came so unexpectedly.

The first child with a spiritual body was born on the ninetieth child!

Lu Yuanding saw Lu Changsheng's excited and ecstatic appearance and nodded approvingly.

He thought Lu Changsheng was not bad.

When his daughter was giving birth, he showed such a joyful and excited expression.

This showed that he loved and cherished Lu Miaohuan very much.

Immediately, he urged Lu Changsheng, "She's born, she's born, Changsheng, quickly, quickly, go in and take a look."

Lu Changsheng heard this and didn't bother to check the system for the spiritual root and body condition of his child. He immediately pushed open the door.

"Congratulations, sir, it's a young master," the midwife said with a happy face when she saw Lu Changsheng.

"Good, good," Lu Changsheng nodded with joy, took out two spirit stones as a gift, and then went to the bedside.

Looking at Lu Miaohuan, who was holding the child and looking a bit weak, he held her hand and said, "Huanhuan, you've worked hard."

"Lu Changsheng, it hurts," Lu Miaohuan said with a look of grievance as soon as she saw Lu Changsheng.

"It's my fault, I made you suffer," Lu Changsheng immediately comforted her.

Then he looked at the child and said, "This is our child, so adorable."

Ordinary newborns are usually wrinkled, but when Lu Miaoyun gave birth, Lu Changsheng knew that children born to cultivators have smooth and radiant skin, not wrinkled. Even if they don't have spiritual roots, they will be martial arts prodigies in the future.

"Hehe, so small," Lu Miaohuan looked at the little one in her arms and smiled happily, reaching out to play with the baby.

The baby didn't cry, but opened its round eyes and looked curiously at the world around it.

"Let's go and see my father-in-law," Lu Changsheng said, not wanting to keep Lu Yuanding and the others waiting.

Immediately, the couple walked out of the room with the baby in their arms.

"Ah, my dear grandson, let me see," Lu Yuanding had been waiting anxiously outside the door.

Seeing Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaohuan holding the baby, he came over excitedly and wanted to hold the baby, his eyes squinting with a smile.

He touched and pinched the baby's face, making the baby cry out.

"Hahaha, Yushu, Huan'er's child is born," Lu Yuanding laughed and said.

"Your grandson is born, did you hear that?" But Lu Yuanding laughed, his eyes moist.

Upon hearing this, everyone knew that Lu Yuanding was missing his wife, the mother of Lu Miaohuan and Lu Miaoge.

"Oh, oh, good, don't cry, don't cry," Lu Yuanding began to coax the baby.

"Changsheng, let's name the child Qingshan," Lu Yuanding said.

Lu Yuanding had mentioned the name of the child before, thinking about the names of Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan's children. The boy was named Qingshan and the girl was named Qingzhu.

"Listen to your father-in-law," Lu Changsheng nodded.

They had already come up with so many names. He didn't really care about naming, thinking that it didn't matter who named the child. He also knew that Lu Yuanding chose this name with the meaning of Qingzhu Mountain.

In this lively atmosphere of coaxing the baby, after dinner, Lu Changsheng finally had some free time.

"System," Lu Changsheng came to the study and silently called out.

[Name: Lu Changsheng]

[Identity: Son-in-law of Qingzhu Mountain's Lu Family]

[Cultivation: Eighth Layer of Qi Refining]

[Lifespan: 29/155]

[Talent: Sixth-grade spiritual root, Gengjin physique (medium-grade spiritual body)]

[Cultivation Techniques: Hundred Refining Body Technique, Seven Luminaries Profound Sword Scripture, Yin Yang Union Technique, Immortal Grace Technique]

[Magic Techniques: Seven Luminaries Sword Radiance, Seven Luminaries Sword Shield, Seven Luminaries Sword Escape]

[Items: Golden Brick Talisman, Peach Blossom Gu, Black Dragon Magic Bead, Demon Curse Life Book, Substitute Life Talisman, Profound Origin Bead, Second Rank Puppet]

[Skills: Talisman Making (Second Rank), Puppetry (Second Rank)]

[Pets: Nine Nether Mastiff]

[Offspring: 90/97]

"Gengjin physique? Is this the spiritual body of my child?" Lu Changsheng looked at his own talent panel and saw an additional Gengjin physique.

He immediately knew that this was the spiritual body of his son, Lu Qingshan.

He then looked at the offspring panel and his mind stirred.

[Name: Lu Qingshan]

[Lifespan: 1/84]

[Talent: Sixth-grade spiritual root, Gengjin physique (medium-grade spiritual body)]

[Strength: None]

"As expected," Lu Changsheng saw his son's panel and silently confirmed it in his heart.

Not only did he have a sixth-grade spiritual root, but also a Gengjin physique.

"Gengjin physique is one of the more common Five Elements spiritual bodies," Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

"I wonder which attribute my son's spiritual root leans towards."

"If one's spiritual root leans towards the metal attribute, even if it is a sixth-grade spiritual root, as long as one cultivates metal attribute techniques, the cultivation speed will be no weaker than that of a top-grade spiritual root."

Lu Changsheng felt a bit excited and delighted in his heart.

Because he was curious about spiritual bodies in the past, and because of Xia Zhixue's spiritual body, he had seen a lot of information about spiritual bodies.

He knew about some of the more common spiritual bodies.

This Geng Metal body is one of them.

Although it can't be considered a rare spiritual body, it is still a spiritual body.

Knowing this kind of spiritual body, when combined with a corresponding attribute spiritual root and cultivating metal attribute techniques, the cultivation speed can rival that of a top-grade spiritual root.

Moreover, not only does the cultivation speed increase.

Cultivating techniques, spells, and supernatural powers corresponding to the attribute will also increase in power, surpassing those of the same level.

"It's best to have a metal attribute spiritual root, but it doesn't matter if it's not a metal attribute spiritual root."

"And I have the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Technique, so I don't have to worry about any attribute techniques, unless the child has a mutated spiritual root."

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh of relief.

He had higher expectations for the future of this child.

This could be considered the first genius of the Lu family.

All the previous children had low-grade spiritual roots.

This one not only has a medium-grade spiritual root, but also possesses a spiritual body.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng sat down to cultivate.

He personally experienced the effects of this Geng Metal body.

After a long time.

"Because the child has just been born, is the spiritual body still growing?"

Lu Changsheng briefly cultivated and could feel that when he absorbed spiritual energy, the flow of metal attribute spiritual energy was smoother and more unobstructed.

But the effect was not particularly amazing, no qualitative change.

He vaguely speculated that because the child had just been born.

This Geng Metal body, like the spiritual root, is still growing.

It needs a certain age to fully develop.

"I cultivate the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Technique, and this Geng Metal body mainly helps me in terms of spell damage, but it doesn't help much in cultivation."

"If the metal attribute spiritual energy is too fast, it will instead affect the balance of my cultivation of other attributes."

"Unless I have more children in the future and each one has a different Five Elements spiritual body."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He knew that this kind of spiritual body is best matched with corresponding attribute techniques.

If one cultivates techniques of other attributes, it may even be affected.

And the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Technique he cultivates requires a balance between the Yin-Yang Five Elements and the seven attributes.

Lu Changsheng didn't pay too much attention to it either.

Thinking that he still had two chances to draw prizes, he silently said in his heart, "System lottery."

Immediately, the system's roulette wheel appeared.

"Start the lottery!"

Seeing the lottery wheel, Lu Changsheng didn't think much about it.

With a thought, he directly started the lottery.

Immediately, a golden light quickly spun on the wheel and finally stopped at 'Elixir'.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a third-grade Crystalizing Elixir!]

[The reward has been sent to the system space, the host can check it at any time.]

An image of an elixir appeared on the big wheel, accompanied by a system prompt.

"Crystalizing Elixir!?"

Lu Changsheng was surprised to see that he had drawn this reward.

He naturally knew what this Crystalizing Elixir was.

It was somewhat similar to the Foundation Building Elixir.

But it was much more precious than the Foundation Building Elixir.

It was an elixir that could help Foundation Building cultivators increase the chance of forming a core and improve the quality of the core formation.

For most cultivators, the Foundation Building Elixir was a luxury and hard to come by.

And this Crystalizing Elixir, which was helpful for core formation, was even more precious.

[Elixir: Crystalizing Elixir]

[Grade: Third-grade]

[Description: When consumed by a Foundation Building cultivator during core formation, it can increase the chance of forming a core by thirty percent and improve the quality of core formation.]

Information about the Crystalizing Elixir appeared in the system space.

"Thirty percent chance of forming a core, and it helps with the quality of core formation."

"It seems that this Crystalizing Elixir is the same as the Longevity Elixir I drew before, belonging to the top-grade Crystalizing Elixir, which is why it has such effects."

"With this Crystalizing Elixir, I don't have to worry about core formation after reaching Foundation Building."

Lu Changsheng's face showed a happy expression.

He had originally wanted to draw a Foundation Building Elixir.

Unexpectedly, in this round of lottery, he actually drew a Crystalizing Elixir that was even more advanced and precious than the Foundation Building Elixir.

"But core formation is still a bit far away for me."

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh and didn't pay much attention to the Crystalizing Elixir.

He planned to keep it in the system space and take it out when he needed it in the future.

"Continue the lottery!"

Lu Changsheng looked at the system's big wheel in front of him and continued the lottery.

This was his first time doing consecutive draws.

Having just drawn a Crystalizing Elixir, he hoped to draw something useful for himself.

Although the Crystalizing Elixir was precious, he couldn't use it at his current stage and could only let it gather dust.

As he continued the lottery, the golden light on the system's big wheel spun and finally stopped at the 'Pet' section.
