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

Chapter 132: Advanced Lottery, Heavenly Treasures!

Ten days later.

Hongye Valley Market.

Even after the transformation into a market, Hongye Valley still had countless red leaf trees and spiritual fields.

Due to the recent opening of the market, it was still quite deserted.

Only the four major families and some other forces were present.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge strolled around the market, familiarizing themselves with the situation.

Although there were still red leaf trees everywhere, the layout had been completely redesigned and was completely different from the original appearance of Hongye Valley.

The planned layout was somewhat similar to the Jiulong Market.

It was divided into four areas: east, west, south, and north, each designated for residential and commercial purposes.

The shops owned by the major families were basically the best in the commercial district.

The location of the shop Lu Changsheng obtained was not particularly good, but it wasn't bad either.

It was on the commercial street.

When Lu Changsheng purchased the shop with Hong Yi, he also gained an understanding of the price of his own shop.

It was worth about three thousand spiritual stones.

If a few years or decades passed and the flow of people in the market increased, it might even rise significantly.

As for the shop purchased by Hong Yi, the location was quite average.

It belonged to a relatively remote street.

For external sales, this was the only level of shop available.

In addition, the financial resources of the Hou Mansion were limited.

They could only come up with eighteen hundred spiritual stones at most.

While strolling with the Lu family, Lu Changsheng received a message from Gao He.

"Sister Miaoge, I have something to attend to and need to go."

Lu Changsheng said to Lu Miaoge.

"Okay, go ahead."

Lu Miaoge, dressed in white, had a gentle temperament.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng went to the entrance of the market to meet Gao He and brought him to his own shop.

This shop wasn't large, about two hundred square meters in size, with three floors.

"Brother Gao, I'll trouble you with my shop from now on."

"For now, I can provide three top-grade talismans and some high-grade talismans every month for stocking and selling."

Lu Changsheng explained the general situation of the shop to Gao He.

He had been in Jiulong Market for so many years and wasn't clueless.

He was also very familiar with the operation of a spiritual talisman shop.

"Brother Lu, this shop isn't owned by the Lu family, it's yours?"

After listening to Lu Changsheng's words, Gao He couldn't help but be stunned and asked.

He had thought that Lu Changsheng had invited him to come to Hongye Valley Market as a resident talisman master on behalf of the Lu family of Qingzhu Mountain.

He didn't expect that Lu Changsheng would actually open his own shop.

This surprised and envied him.

Many wandering cultivators had been struggling in the cultivation world for their whole lives and still couldn't afford a house in the market.

Most of them could only choose to settle down in the mortal world.

Even as a high-grade talisman master, it wasn't easy for him to buy a house in a larger market.

Shops like Lu Changsheng's were no joke. As long as Hongye Market didn't encounter any problems, one shop could support three generations.

"Hehe, that's right, the Lu family also has a shop here."

"But this shop isn't owned by the Lu family, it's my personal business. That's why I don't have much time to manage it, so I invited you here."

Lu Changsheng didn't hide anything and said with a smile.

He also planned to follow the example of the Four Elders and cultivate on Qingzhu Mountain, accompanying his wives and children.

Every month, he would complete the talisman-making tasks for the Lu family, supply the spiritual talisman shop, and also come to check on the situation of the spiritual talisman shop and see Lu Miaoge.

"Alright, please rest assured, Boss."

Gao He didn't ask too much and directly agreed.

Then he looked at the shop and Lu Changsheng and said, "But this shop also needs a name, Boss, please come up with one."

"Since we're selling talismans, let's call it 'Peace Talisman Hall'."

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and came up with a name that lacked originality.

Gao He twitched his mouth.

Names like this were basically cliché.

But when it came to names, except for some major families and forces, they were all like this.

They could only rely on gradually accumulating a good reputation to establish their business.

Afterwards, Gao He and Lu Changsheng discussed the preliminary preparations for the spiritual talisman shop.

When Lu Changsheng mentioned this before, Gao He had already made preparations in this regard.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng also knew that Gao He had put in effort.

He had thought that if things didn't work out, he could ask the Lu family for help.

After all, there were ready-made resources that couldn't be wasted.

Then, Lu Changsheng also mentioned the matter of the second-tier cave mansion to Gao He.

He had also seen this cave mansion, which wasn't large, only a hundred square meters.

But if it was rented out, it could fetch eighty to ninety spiritual stones per year.

When the flow of people increased, it could probably be rented out for a hundred spiritual stones.

Lu Changsheng rented it to Gao He for a minimum of eighty spiritual stones per year.

"Thank you, Boss."

Gao He readily accepted this price.

He said that he would go to Jiulong Market to establish connections in a while and bring his daughter, Gao Xiaoya, over.

After chatting for a while, Lu Changsheng left and went to the Lu Family Spiritual Talisman Shop on Qingzhu Mountain.

This spiritual talisman shop had the same layout as the Lu Family Spiritual Talisman Shop in Jiulong Market, just larger in size.

"Changsheng, are you done with your business?"

Upon learning that Lu Changsheng had arrived, Lu Miaoge immediately greeted him.

Apart from being at home, she still maintained a graceful and distant appearance that kept people at a distance.

"Mmm, I'm done with my work," Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile.

He briefly told Lu Miaoge about Gao He's matter.

That's how a couple is.

It's impossible to have something fresh and interesting to talk about every day.

Most of the time, they just talk about small things happening around them.

As the night grew darker, the already desolate Hongye Valley fell into silence.

Except for the guards responsible for patrolling, most people had already entered their dreams.

Qingzhu Lu Family's Spirit Talisman Shop, third floor.

In the simple bedroom, the bed curtains hung down.

The woman tightly closed her eyes, enduring the impact, as if strolling on the clouds, presenting an astonishing beauty.

After a while, a soft moan came from the woman's nose, and her delicate body trembled violently.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng tightly embraced his wife, who was covered in sweat, and proceeded to the final step of their intimate cultivation.

By blending the Yin essence absorbed with his own Yang essence, they returned everything back as one begets two, and two beget three.

Both of them immersed themselves in the afterglow of their cultivation.

"Sister Miaoge, how long do you think it will take for you to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement?" Lu Changsheng asked softly while holding the fragrant and delicate body.

Due to the previous assassination attempt and being pregnant, it was only three months ago that Lu Miaoge broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

"It should take about five or six years," Lu Miaoge's face was flushed, and she looked incredibly beautiful.

"Five or six years," Lu Changsheng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He understood that at Lu Miaoge's cultivation speed, it would probably take more than ten years for her to reach the completion of Qi Refinement and break through to Foundation Building.

"In more than ten years, maybe I'll be able to obtain a genuine Foundation Building Pill," Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

"Moreover, after I reach Foundation Building, I can also consider passing on the split Sword Technique," he continued.

Now that Lu Miaoge was his wife and the mother of his child, he naturally cared about her cultivation of Foundation Building.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask and see if I can help you with your cultivation and achieve Foundation Building sooner," Lu Changsheng whispered to the beauty in front of him.

Then he gently kissed her tender lips and continued their cultivation.

Among all his wives, only Lu Miaoge, who was also at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, had the best effect in dual cultivation.

One session of dual cultivation was almost equivalent to half a month of cultivation.

"Mmm~" Lu Miaoge's cheeks turned red, her eyebrows curved down, her beautiful eyes glistening like water, and her teeth tightly biting her cherry lips.

After accompanying Lu Miaoge in Hongye Valley for half a month, Lu Changsheng returned to Qingzhu Mountain.

Now the distance between Hongye Valley and Qingzhu Mountain made it much more convenient for him to travel back and forth.

On the third day back at Qingzhu Mountain, the maid Jianglou Yue gave birth to a child.

This child did not possess spiritual roots, but at the moment of the child's birth, a system prompt sound arrived as scheduled.

[Congratulations, host, for reaching a hundred offspring and obtaining one advanced draw.]

"Advanced draw!?" Lu Changsheng's eyebrows raised upon hearing this.

Previously, when he had fifty offspring, he obtained one specified draw.

It allowed him to specify a certain draw category for the draw.

Unexpectedly, now that he had reached a hundred offspring, there was an advanced draw.

"The ordinary draw is already so powerful, I wonder how amazing this advanced draw will be!?" At this moment, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel excited and anticipatory.

Immediately, he hurried to the study and began the draw.

"System, I want to draw!" Lu Changsheng silently said in his heart.

Immediately, a deep red virtual draw plate appeared.

It was different from the previous draw plate.

This draw plate only had four areas: martial arts scriptures, miraculous elixirs, heaven and earth treasures, and spiritual pet treasures.

"The ordinary draw can already draw authentic-grade martial arts, so the martial arts scriptures obtained from this advanced draw must be above authentic-grade?"

"And the pets from the ordinary draw are already bloodline pets at the heavenly rank. With the advanced draw, could I possibly draw a true spirit cub!?" Lu Changsheng looked at the advanced draw plate before him, unable to contain his anticipation.

His mixed feelings of anticipation and anxiety towards the draw began to emerge once again.

He was curious about what rewards he would obtain this time.

"System, draw!" Lu Changsheng didn't think too much and took a deep breath before slowly exhaling.

With a slight movement of his mind, a dazzling golden light appeared on the advanced turntable before his eyes, and it began to spin rapidly.

Five seconds later, the golden light gradually slowed down.

Finally, with Lu Changsheng's heart pounding, the golden light stopped at the 'spiritual pet treasures' category.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Heavenly Treasure: Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi!]

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

A blue pattern resembling nine stars appeared on the draw plate, accompanied by a system prompt sound.

"Heavenly Treasure!?"

"Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi?"

Lu Changsheng was surprised and his eyes brightened when he saw the reward he had obtained.

He didn't expect to draw a Heavenly Treasure.

The treasures used by cultivators are divided into five levels from low to high: artifacts, spiritual artifacts, treasures, spiritual treasures, and Heavenly Treasures.

Heavenly Treasures can only be controlled and used by Soul Formation cultivators, and they are supreme treasures that can cause heavy injuries.

He didn't expect that he would draw such a high-level treasure directly from the draw.

"It's good to draw such a Heavenly Treasure. With the Hundred Refinements Body Tempering Technique, I can at least make use of this Heavenly Treasure."

"If I had drawn martial arts scriptures or some useless elixirs, materials, it would have been a real loss, and they would have just been left to gather dust."

Lu Changsheng did not feel disappointed because he drew a magic treasure. Instead, he felt that this reward was quite good. After all, the rewards from the system were currently too advanced for him. There was no way to quickly convert them into strength. However, with the Hundred Refining Body Technique, as long as it was a magic treasure, he could use it for cultivation, refine it into his body, and enhance the cultivation speed of the Hundred Refining Body Technique. With the assistance of the Black Dragon Magic Pearl, a high-grade magic treasure, his cultivation of the Hundred Refining Body Technique progressed rapidly. In about another year, he would be able to break through to the third level. If he were to refine a Primordial Spirit treasure into his body, the cultivation speed of his Hundred Refining Body Technique would probably skyrocket.

Lu Changsheng looked at the Nine Jade Ruyi in the system space.

[Spirit Treasure: Nine Jade Ruyi]

[Grade: Primordial Spirit Treasure]

[Explanation: Before the Nine Universe God Lord passed away, he collected the essence of the stars in the sky and merged it with the Ten Thousand Spirit Jade, refining it with his nine great divine abilities. It contains nine great divine abilities, profound and boundless, with infinite power. Only those with great magical power can activate it.]

"The grade is a Primordial Spirit Treasure, but it doesn't specify the detailed grade?" Lu Changsheng looked at the information of the treasure in front of him, feeling somewhat surprised. This reminded him of what he had read in an ancient book before, that Primordial Spirit Treasures were essentially far superior to top-grade spirit treasures. Therefore, they were not divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

"Regardless of whether it is divided into grades or not, this is at least a Primordial Spirit Treasure!"

"Tsk tsk, I'm afraid that even the Hundred Refining Body Technique, which was created by the Bai Zao Mountain, couldn't refine a Primordial Spirit Treasure into the body for cultivation when it was only in the Qi Refining stage, right?" Lu Changsheng didn't pay much attention to the grade or the explanation that only those with great magical power could activate it. After all, at the level of a Primordial Spirit Treasure, what effect it had and how it related to him didn't matter. Even if he was just a weak Qi Refining cultivator. Even if he had two more realms of cultivation and became a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he still wouldn't be able to activate this Primordial Spirit Treasure.

Without thinking too much, Lu Changsheng moved his mind and extracted the Primordial Spirit Treasure from the system space.

Immediately, a baby's forearm-sized, exquisitely crafted, and delicate jade ruyi appeared. The jade ruyi, like glass, emitted a faint glow, resembling a river of stars, beautiful and magnificent. It was embedded with nine colors of stars: vermilion, blood red, golden yellow, sky blue, deep blue, crimson purple, jet black, profound black, and clear white, giving people a sense of extraordinary mystery.

"Wow, this is a Primordial Spirit Treasure, it's too..." As Lu Changsheng extracted the Nine Jade Ruyi, he also gained an understanding of the effects of this Primordial Spirit Treasure. The Nine Jade Ruyi contained nine great divine abilities, collectively known as the Nine Treasures.

The first treasure, Essence, could enhance physical strength!

The second treasure, Qi, could enhance magical power!

The third treasure, Spirit, could enhance divine sense!

The fourth treasure, Speed, could enhance speed!

The fifth treasure, Healing Divine Light, could repair the physical body and heal the Primordial Spirit!

The sixth treasure, Protective Divine Light, could transform into a divine light to protect the body, invulnerable to all methods!

The seventh treasure, Sealing Divine Light, could seal the magical power of others and also seal one's own aura!

The eighth treasure is the Breaking Prohibition Divine Light, capable of breaking all kinds of formations and restrictions!

The ninth treasure is the Nine-Colored Calamity Light, once it appears, it annihilates all things!

"Hiss, this Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi can be said to have the combined effects of amplification, attack, defense, speed, healing, and so on. It is simply an all-around treasure."

"Damn it, it's a pity that I can only look at it and not use it!"

Lu Changsheng looked at the heavenly treasure in front of him with great envy.

Through the system's understanding, this heavenly treasure has four amplifications: essence, energy, spirit, and speed, with the highest amplification reaching ten times.

As for the fifth treasure, healing, although it cannot bring people back to life, as long as there is a breath, it can basically extend a person's life.

It can even consume the source and instantly restore all injuries.

Just these effects alone are enough to be considered supreme treasures.

"No, it's not that I can't use it."

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat, as if he was deep in thought.

"The ultimate achievement of the Hundred Refining Body Technique is to refine the human body into a heavenly treasure."

"But in this process, it can also be separated, treating the skull, sternum, spine, and limbs as treasures to practice."

"I can directly fuse one part with this Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi through the 'Treasure Bone Technique' and 'Merging Bone Technique', and refine this 'Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi' into my own life treasure bone!"

"In this way, the nine effects of this Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi can be transformed into my own divine arts."

"However, after refining it into a life treasure bone, the power and effects will be greatly reduced, and this bone cannot be refined into other treasures in the future. It needs to be nurtured and improved on its own."

Lu Changsheng was extremely familiar with the Hundred Refining Body Technique, understanding it thoroughly.

He immediately thought of a method that would allow him to use this Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi.

That is to fuse this Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi with his own bones, allowing it to become his own life treasure bone.

"But I have only cultivated the second layer of the Hundred Refining Body Technique. If I want to fuse bones, I have to at least cultivate to the fifth layer, where my physical body can rival a spiritual weapon, before I can attempt it."

"However, with this Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi, as long as I complete the ritual and refine it into my body, I can rely on the power of this heavenly treasure. It seems that the fifth layer of the Hundred Refining Body Technique is not so far away."

Lu Changsheng contemplated in his heart, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

He no longer thought too much, and sat down in a cross-legged position.

"Shi!"

Looking at the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi in front of him, he activated the Hundred Refining Body Technique, and the spiritual energy in his body turned into a ball of flame, beginning the ritual.

In Zhou Mountain Prefecture City.

Qu Changge walked through the city.

He was dressed in a black wide robe, and his white hair turned into black hair, tied up with a hairpin.

With a stern face, he didn't seem any different from an ordinary person except for appearing silent and reserved.

However, behind him was a tall, muscular bald man dressed in black armor.

The bald man exuded a terrifying aura, making people tremble with fear and dare not approach.

"Hmm?"

Qu Changge stopped in his tracks, looking at the bright and beautiful Qu Mansion in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned, his expression astonished.

He clearly remembered that the last time he came home, his house was desolate and dilapidated, overgrown with weeds.

How did it suddenly return to the appearance in his memory?

"Could it be that the scenes I saw back then were all illusions?"

"In fact, my parents are not dead."

Qu Changge's heart skipped a beat.

His long dormant heart was now churning and surging, tears almost streaming down his face.

But he did not approach the door.

With his cultivation at the Foundation Building stage, he could clearly sense that there was only one old man inside the mansion.

There was no one else.

So he knew that what he had seen of the ruined Qu Mansion was not an illusion.

The mansion in front of him must have been rebuilt for some reason.

At this moment, the old man in the Qu Mansion couldn't help but ask as he looked at Qu Changge, who had been standing outside the door all this time, "Young master, do you have any business here?"

"I remember that the Qu Mansion was attacked by bandits, right?" Qu Changge's voice was hoarse after a moment of silence.

"Yes, the Qu family doesn't know what sins they committed. They were attacked by bandits ten years ago, and the courtyard has been abandoned since then. But last year..." The old man spoke, with a hint of emotion in his voice.

The old man was already old, and he spoke in a rambling manner, but it also made Qu Changge understand roughly what had happened.

He learned that a man and a woman had come to erect a tombstone for his parents and renovate the mansion.

"Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen is still alive!" Qu Changge immediately knew that the woman mentioned by the latter was his younger sister, Qu Zhenzhen.

Knowing that his younger sister was still alive, his body couldn't help but tremble.

But soon he calmed down, nodded, and left with the bald man.

Not far from their departure, the two turned into a streak of light, concealing their figures and entering the courtyard of the Qu Mansion.

Looking at the courtyard that looked similar to the past but lacked vitality, Qu Changge's expression was somewhat dazed as he walked around.

At this moment, he saw tombstones and a memorial hall in the backyard.

"Father, Qu Qingsong, mother Qu Zhaoshi's tomb. Son-in-law, Lu Changsheng, daughter Qu Zhenzhen pays respects."

"Has Zhenzhen already married?" Qu Changge looked at the tombstone in front of him.

The image of his sister Qu Zhenzhen from his memories flashed through his mind.

Thinking that his younger sister was still alive and had already married, he felt both joy and relief, but his heart was also filled with mixed emotions.

"Time really flies."

"It's good that she's married, otherwise Zhenzhen's temperament would be difficult to handle alone."

"I wonder how Zhenzhen is doing now."

Qu Changge stared at the tombstone in front of him, lost in thought, his expression complex.

"If you have any living relatives you want to visit, young master, I have a secret technique that can be used with bloodline as a guide," the black-armored man beside him said, seeing his young master's expression, immediately showing a flattering look.

His flattering appearance instantly wiped away his own imposing aura.

"Forget it, given my current situation, I better not disturb her life."

Qu Changge shook his head lightly.

He was well aware that he had embarked on an extremely dangerous path, different from that of ordinary people.

If I go to see my sister, it might disturb and affect her life.

Moreover, I can't stay for too long on this trip back.

Immediately, Qu Changge knelt down in front of the tombstone and came to the ancestral hall to offer incense.

"I should still go and take a look, as long as I don't disturb her life."

After everything was done and ready to leave the Qu Mansion, when investigating the truth of the Qu family's past, Qu Changge sighed.

In the end, she couldn't let go of her sister.

Thinking that she should go and see how her sister is living now.

"What should I do?"

Qu Changge looked at the black-armored man beside her and spoke.

"Young master, you just need to give me a drop of blood, and I can use it as a guide to perform a secret technique."

The black-armored man said so.

Upon hearing this, Qu Changge directly forced out a drop of crystal-clear crimson blood.

Although there are many secret techniques in the demonic path that use other people's blood to perform spells, even resorting to poisoning, she had no such worries.

She knew that her master had some kind of purpose for her.

Her life and death were no longer in her own hands.

The black-armored man took the blood, formed a seal with his hand, and turned the blood into a dark red mini snake.

"Young master, this blood-guiding snake will actively search for people related to your bloodline based on the bloodline."

The black-armored man said so.

"Let's go."

Qu Changge nodded indifferently, looking at the blood-guiding snake in front of her, and disappeared in the courtyard with the black-armored man.

Seven days later.

"Qingzhu Mountain."

"Zhenzhen has also embarked on the path of cultivation?"

Qu Changge and the black-armored man followed the blood-colored snake and arrived outside Qingzhu Mountain.

She immediately realized that the Qingzhu Mountain in front of her was a residence of a cultivation family.

She didn't expect that her sister had actually come to a residence of a cultivation family and embarked on the path of immortality.

"Young master, I just sensed it. This is just a small family with only one Foundation Building cultivator inside."

"Young master, do you want to go in directly or sneak in?"

The black-armored man spoke, his expression flattering.

PS: Let me explain this Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure.

First of all, this treasure is simply used to accelerate the Hundred Refinements Body Cultivation Technique and enhance the protagonist's supernatural abilities.

As for the ritual, it establishes a connection between the Hundred Refinements Body Cultivation Technique and this Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure, allowing it to condense into the body, but it is not the traditional method of refining a treasure.

And I don't think I said that I finished practicing in a few days. The Black Dragon Pearl also took three months to refine.

Secondly, about the spirit of the artifact and its spirituality.

Most of my settings are borrowed from mortal cultivation. In the mortal world, the Void Heaven Cauldron and many other Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasures do not have spirits or spirituality. They require mana to activate.

So this Ruyi does not have a spirit or spirituality. I think it can barely pass, right?
