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

Chapter 133: Breakthrough in Cultivation, Promotion of Spiritual Roots!

Qu Changge and the man in black armor walked inside Qingzhu Mountain.

The two of them seemed to be nonexistent, causing the guards of the Lu family to ignore them.

Following the blood trail, Qu Changge arrived at Bailu Manor.

Immediately, he saw a group of people from the Lu family picking up their children after school.

From the crowd, he instantly saw a woman in her twenties, with a gentle and beautiful face, wearing a pink dress.

The woman was holding a child and walking with a young man in his twenties wearing a blue robe.

There were also eight or nine children following them, chatting and laughing.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for ten years, Qu Changge recognized his sister, Qu Zhenzhen, at a glance. She was wearing a pink dress, with a gentle and beautiful face, radiating charm.

"Zhenzhen!" he called out in his heart.

But he didn't make a sound.

Afraid of disturbing her peace.

"I didn't expect that the little girl from before is already a mother," Qu Changge looked at Qu Zhenzhen holding a child, talking and laughing with the man, and speaking gently to the children beside her.

In his deep and silent eyes, there was a mix of happiness, contentment, heaviness, timidity, and confusion.

He could tell that his sister was living well here.

Not only did she have a happy and content expression on her face, but she had also embarked on the path of cultivation.

Although her cultivation level was a bit low, only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Then, he looked at Lu Changsheng beside her.

Knowing that this should be his brother-in-law.

His first impression of his brother-in-law was not bad.

One was for erecting a monument for their parents and renovating the Qu Mansion.

In addition, he was handsome and worthy of his sister.

When he spoke to his sister and the children, he had a gentle expression, showing the demeanor of a husband and father.

He glanced at Lu Changsheng's cultivation level.

He found that he couldn't see Lu Changsheng's cultivation level.

He didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, there were many techniques and treasures in the cultivation world that could conceal one's cultivation level and spiritual power.

Having such treasures meant that his brother-in-law should have a good status and position in this family.

He also used spells to investigate and avoid being noticed by Lu Changsheng.

"Are these all Zhenzhen's children?" Qu Changge looked at the group of children beside the man and woman, his heart skipped a beat.

These children were mostly five or six years old, with the oldest being eight or nine.

He remembered that he had only been away from home for ten years.

In ten years, his sister couldn't have given birth to so many, right?

In the next moment, he carefully observed and examined.

He realized that only the baby in Qu Zhenzhen's arms and a boy of eight or nine and a girl of six or seven had some blood connection with him as an uncle.

He knew that only these three were his sister's children.

Seeing that there were only three, he nodded slightly.

If his sister had given birth to ten in ten years, he would have had the idea of taking out a knife.

"Does only this child have spiritual roots?" Qu Changge looked at the three children with a blood connection, his gaze falling on Lu Quanzhen.

Qu Zhenzhen had given birth to four children.

Among them, the first child, Lu Quanzhen, and the third child, Lu Miaozhen, had spiritual roots.

However, Lu Miaozhen was not yet of school age and was playing at home.

"I wonder how this child's spiritual roots are," Qu Changge thought to himself.

In these years, although he had been forced to practice in the dark, he also had a general understanding of the cultivation world.

He knew that compared to the mortal world, the cultivation world was even more cruel.

It was a naked struggle for survival, with the strong preying on the weak.

If his nephew had average spiritual roots and started cultivating when he grew up, he would probably face many tribulations.

"Sigh," Qu Changge sighed.

In these years, his heart had long been numb and silent.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but feel sentimental.

Not only was he worried about his sister's life, but he also worried about his nephew's situation out of love for his sister.

He shook his head slightly, not thinking too much about it.

Knowing his own situation now, how could he care about others?

Watching Qu Zhenzhen and the others gradually move away, laughing and talking, he closed his eyes.

"Let's go," Qu Changge opened his eyes again, determination shining in his eyes.

He turned around and walked towards the outside of Qingzhu Mountain.

Now that he had seen his sister and knew that she was living well, he could rest assured.

He was very clear about his current situation.

If he had too much contact with his younger sister, it would only harm her.

What he needed to do now was to live well, to strive and improve himself.

Until he had the strength to control his own destiny.

No matter how dangerous the future may be, whether it is a blessing or a curse, this is his only choice, his only path!

Just as his master said.

In this world, only one's own power is eternal!

A gentle breeze blew, and the bamboo swayed, giving a feeling of extreme comfort and tranquility.

Qu Zhenzhen, who was talking to Lu Changsheng, seemed to sense something.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked in the direction of Qu Changge.

But there was nothing.

"What's wrong, Zhenzhen?"

Lu Changsheng asked Qu Zhenzhen.

"It's nothing."

Qu Zhenzhen shook her head lightly and didn't pay attention to the vague feeling.

Lu Changsheng was unaware of Qu Changge's arrival.

Life went on as usual, cultivating, making talismans, and spending time with his wives and children.

The only addition was the refining of the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi.

It can only be said that this Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi is truly a divine treasure.

Refining it was hundreds of times more difficult than the Black Dragon Magic Bead.

Even though he had the Primordial Pearl with him, it would still take him two to three years to refine it, spending one or two hours every day.

Although this time was long, it made him look forward to the effect of refining the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi and incorporating it into his body.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

"Lu Changsheng, it seems like I'm pregnant again."

That day, Lu Miaohuan ran to Lu Changsheng and said.

She had originally said that she would only have one child, but now that the first child was only a year old, she was unexpectedly pregnant again.

She showed a look of helplessness and distress.

"Did you forget to use your spiritual power to force it out?"

Lu Changsheng heard Miss Second's words and was slightly stunned, then immediately said.

Even if they didn't want to have children, the two of them often practiced dual cultivation.

In such a situation, if he didn't control himself and Lu Miaohuan forgot to force it out, there would be a high probability of pregnancy.

"What should we do then?"

Lu Miaohuan pouted her red lips and said somewhat innocently.

"If you're pregnant, then give birth to it, this will be the last one."

Lu Changsheng gently touched her head with a gentle expression and said softly.

"Okay!"

Lu Miaohuan nodded heavily.

After spending some time with Miss Second, Lu Changsheng saw that it was the end of the month.

So he rode the Iron Feather Eagle and went to the Hongye Valley market.

The Hongye Valley market had been open for over three months now.

But the popularity was still average, and the streets seemed deserted.

Under such deserted circumstances, his "Peace Talisman Hall" business was also very bleak.

If it weren't for the fact that the shop was his own, with this situation, he would still be losing money.

After all, not only was there a small number of people coming in.

At this stage, in order to build reputation and business, major stores were offering discounts of sixty to seventy percent, so there was no profit at all.

Lu Changsheng walked around his own shop, looked at the income and expenses in this month's account book.

"Sigh, after deducting various raw materials and labor costs, I only made thirty-one spiritual stones."

"It's not even enough for the rent, and I even have to pay out of pocket."

"Fortunately, in a year or two, the flow of people in the market will gradually increase, and the profits will be recovered."

Lu Changsheng looked at this month's account book and couldn't help but feel speechless.

This made Gao He, who was beside him, feel uneasy.

Although the market was just starting and there was no flow of people, and they were competing with promotions to seize the market.

But with just one shop on the main street, making only thirty spiritual stones in a month.

Indeed, it made him, the resident talisman master and shopkeeper, feel embarrassed.

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and didn't say much.

He knew this was normal.

Because the Lu Family Talisman Shop on Lu Miaoge's side was also the same.

It was just that because of the location and the chain store sign, the situation there was a bit better than here.

Immediately, he went to the Qingzhu Lu Family Talisman Shop and practiced dual cultivation with his wife, Lu Miaoge, as usual, to enhance their relationship and cultivation.

One month later.

In the training room of Qingzhu Mountain.

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, circulating the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Technique.

Suddenly, the spiritual power surged in his dantian and sea of qi.

Causing sword energy to surround his body, sharp and fierce, dust spreading, and a faint spiritual pressure permeating.

"Refining Qi Ninth Layer."

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

He wasn't too surprised by this breakthrough.

After all, practicing the Seven Colors Great Freedom Sword Scripture had given him a rough idea of his progress.

For him, this breakthrough was smooth and effortless.

Lu Changsheng looked inward and observed the changes after the breakthrough.

His spiritual power had increased by about thirty percent.

As his cultivation broke through, the Xuan Yuan Pearl suspended above the Dan Lake began to rotate slowly.

This treasure also improved in effectiveness as Lu Changsheng's cultivation advanced.

"Relying on the Xuan Yuan Pearl, can I now contend with ordinary Foundation Building cultivators?" Lu Changsheng wondered, feeling the enhanced spiritual power bestowed by the pearl.

Based on his observation during the battle in the Red Leaf Valley, he felt that his current strength could withstand a few moves from a Foundation Building cultivator.

If he used all his means, he might even be able to kill a Foundation Building cultivator.

However, Lu Changsheng only entertained these thoughts and had no real intention of doing so.

He would only pick a fight with a Foundation Building cultivator when he was full and had nothing better to do.

He still remembered the scene of Chen Family's Patriarch desperately self-destructing his spiritual weapon and fighting with all his might using the Thunder Child.

If he didn't have absolute strength, how could they have fought and both ended up injured?

"At this rate, I estimate that I will be ready to break through to Foundation Building in three to five years."

"With the Foundation Building spiritual weapon and Foundation Building pill, my chances of reaching Foundation Building are almost certain."

Lu Changsheng calmed his restless spiritual power, stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and pushed open the door of the training room.

Due to the long time spent on the breakthrough, it was already late at night.

Lu Changsheng looked at the moonlight, but he didn't feel like appreciating it or being sentimental.

He went to Lu Miaoyun's room.

Looking at Lu Miaoyun, who was already asleep, he lifted the blanket and got into bed.

Holding the woman in his arms, he gradually fell asleep.

Six days later.

Lu Changsheng's 102nd child was born.

This child had spiritual roots.

He was Lu Changsheng's 24th child with spiritual roots.

With the birth of this child, an indescribable and mysterious tremor surged through Lu Changsheng's body.

He knew that his spiritual roots had advanced!

From a sixth-grade spiritual root, he had advanced to a fifth-grade spiritual root!

Lu Changsheng was not surprised by this advancement.

Before this, he could already sense that his spiritual roots were at the critical point between sixth and fifth grade.

If a sixth-grade spiritual root had appeared, he might have been able to advance directly.

Now, after so long, with the growth of his children's spiritual roots and the birth of this child, it should be a seventh-grade spiritual root.

So his spiritual roots had advanced smoothly.

"System."

Lu Changsheng silently called out in his heart.

[Name: Lu Changsheng]

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

[Cultivation: Ninth Layer of Qi Refining]

[Lifespan: 30/156]

[Talent: Fifth-grade spiritual root, Geng Metal Body (medium-grade spiritual body)]

[Magic Technique: Seven Colors Sword Radiance, Seven Colors Sword Shield, Seven Colors Sword Escape]

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

[Offspring: 102/107]

"A fifth-grade spiritual root, the same as Sister Miaoge's spiritual root. I'm one step closer to the Heavenly Spiritual Root."

"Moreover, it also provides me with some assistance in reaching Foundation Building."

Lu Changsheng smiled as he looked at the spiritual root level on the system panel.

He looked at the Geng Metal Body in the talent column.

As time passed, he could feel that the Geng Metal Body was also improving in effectiveness as his son Lu Qingshan grew.

"The spiritual body should fully form when the body develops at the age of eleven or twelve," Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He couldn't help but think of a question.

Now that he also possessed the Geng Metal Body, what would happen if he had another child with the Geng Metal Body?

Would the Geng Metal Body advance and become a high-grade spiritual body?

What if there was a spiritual body that clashed with the Geng Metal Body?

Would it cause a clash of spiritual bodies and problems with his own body?

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but let his mind wander.

After thinking for a while, he realized that he would only know the answer when his second spiritual body child was born.

Looking at the system panel in front of him, Lu Changsheng saw his age.

Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly turned thirty.

"Thirty years old, ninth level of Qi Refinement. This cultivation level is already considered exceptional in a cultivation family like Qingzhu Mountain," Lu Changsheng murmured in his heart.

He wasn't particularly proud of it.

At this age, reaching the ninth level of Qi Refinement was considered exceptional in Qingzhu Mountain, but it was only average in the immortal sects.

However, he didn't really mind.

After all, his focus was on having a solid foundation and achieving greatness later in life.

With this speed, it was already enough.

It's not about short-term gains, but about long-term achievements.

Moreover, as a poor farmer with a ninth-grade spiritual root, he started with a system.

In just twelve short years, relying on his unremitting efforts, Lu Changsheng was quite satisfied with his achievements.

"There is a saying that goes 'thirty years old is the age of standing on one's own feet.' Now I have seven wives, eleven concubines, twenty-four maidservants, and one hundred and seven children. I guess I have established something," Lu Changsheng suddenly thought.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

Due to selective breeding, Lu Changsheng had only had five more children in this half year.

It is worth mentioning that Xia Zhuyue gave birth to a child.

With a sixth-grade spiritual root.

For Lu Changsheng at the moment, a child with a sixth-grade spiritual root was already very good.

After all, out of his one hundred plus children, only twenty-five had spiritual roots.

And among them, there was only one with a medium-grade spiritual root, Lu Qingshan.

Xia Zhuyue's child was his second child with a sixth-grade spiritual root.

However, when Xia Zhuyue was pregnant with this child, Lu Changsheng did not let her exhaust her own origin to nourish the fetus.

Otherwise, Lu Changsheng felt that Xia Zhuyue, who was in the middle stage of Qi Refinement, could give birth to a child with a fifth-grade or even a fourth-grade spiritual root.

But with the lessons learned from Xia Zhuyue's mother, Lu Changsheng couldn't do such a thing.

He also planned not to let Xia Zhuyue conceive again in the short term, allowing her to rest and cultivate properly.

Wait until she reaches the later stage of Qi Refinement.

Lu Changsheng even wondered if Xia Zhuyue could give birth to a child with a top-grade spiritual root if she broke through to the Foundation Building stage, relying on this spiritual body.

"It's almost time for the ten-year agreement in about a month."

"I wonder how Fei Yu is doing."

That day, after Lu Changsheng finished his usual cultivation and talisman-making.

In his heart, he remembered that there was about a month left until the ten-year agreement they made. He was curious about the current situation of Han Lin, Xiao Xiyue, and Zhao Qingqing, who were practicing cultivation in the immortal sect.

He wondered how they had progressed in their cultivation in the immortal sect over the past ten years, and whether the gap between them had widened.

At the same time, he also thought about Li Feiyu, who had been away on a journey for so long without any news, and he didn't know how he was doing.

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

Just as Lu Changsheng was preparing to go to the secular Ruyi County to meet up, he received a letter.

It was a letter sent by Li Feiyu.

In the letter, Li Feiyu first talked about his own situation, saying that everything was going well for him at the moment.

With the talisman and spirit stones that Lu Changsheng had given him, he had also broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Currently, he was exploring an ancient cave left by his predecessors, and he might not be able to rush back in time for their ten-year agreement.

So he sent the letter in advance.

If he didn't come back in time, he asked Lu Changsheng not to worry about him.

He also asked Lu Changsheng to inform Han Lin, Xiao Xiyue, and Zhao Qingqing about this matter.

"Ah, Feiyu has finally embarked on this path."

Lu Changsheng looked at the letter and sighed softly.

He had speculated before that Li Feiyu would eventually follow the path of Xia Long, by hunting and killing demonic beasts, exploring ancient caves and secret realms, and obtaining resources.

Or rather, this was the only way for most independent cultivators to make a name for themselves and seize the opportunity to build their foundation.

But this kind of thing also carried great risks.

After all, it was like putting one's head on the line.

As long as they encountered danger or accidents once, they would end up dead and buried in the wilderness.

But Lu Changsheng couldn't persuade Li Feiyu about this kind of thing.

Not everyone could have a stable life at home, marrying wives and having children, and having a predictable future like him.

However, Lu Changsheng felt that the reason Li Feiyu didn't come to fulfill the agreement, besides being delayed by something, was also because the gap between the six of them was getting bigger and bigger.

Li Feiyu used to be promising in the secular world as well.

But ten years ago, among the six of them, Li Feiyu had the worst situation.

Now that ten years had passed, Li Feiyu had wasted most of his time. How could he, who had a proud spirit, bear it?

"Ah."

Lu Changsheng sighed again, hoping that Li Feiyu was safe and well.

He set the letter on fire with a flame in his hand.

Then he said a few words to his wives and concubines before riding the Iron Feather Eagle to Ruyi County.
