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

Chapter 14: Second Level of Qi Refinement!

Half a year later.

"Second level of Qi Refinement!"

In the training room, Lu Changsheng's robes fluttered without wind as he woke up from his meditation. He exhaled a breath of impurity and a look of joy appeared on his face.

After a year and four months of hard cultivation, he finally broke through to the second level of Qi Refinement.

It took him so long because he was delayed by the matters of having children and making talismans.

Otherwise, with his current monthly resource of five spirit stones, occasionally buying some spirit tea and spirit vegetables to supplement himself, he could have broken through even faster.

But Lu Changsheng considered the time he spent worth it.

In this half year, Lu Changsheng took in the seventh concubine and the two women brought by Fubo from the Lu family as his concubines, and they all successfully became pregnant.

Lu Lanshu, Lu Zier, and Lu Qing'er also became pregnant with their second child.

In half a year, Lu Changsheng gained six more unborn children.

This made Fubo, who had always been concerned about Lu Changsheng's situation, come to persuade him to be more restrained in terms of women and not be in such a hurry to have children.

As for making talismans, he drew over two hundred talismans in this half year.

Fifty of them were drawn into basic talismans and taken to the Bai Bao Ge for recycling to subsidize the household.

And he told Fubo that he was already about sixty to seventy percent confident in making a Peace Talisman.

He estimated that in a few more months, he would be able to try a first-grade talisman.

As long as he could successfully draw a first-grade low-grade talisman, he would be considered an entry-level talisman master.

"The second level of Qi Refinement, the spiritual power is about twice as thick as the first level of Qi Refinement."

"Now, drawing a middle-grade first-grade talisman is no longer difficult for me, unlike before, where drawing one middle-grade talisman would almost exhaust me, and too difficult talismans would directly fail."

"If I have the materials, I can even try to draw some high-grade first-grade talismans for self-defense."

Lu Changsheng stood up and felt the spiritual power in his dantian sea.

What trapped him from drawing talismans was not his skill, but his own cultivation.

As long as his cultivation reached the threshold of making talismans, he would be able to successfully draw talismans.

But now, the highest level of materials he could use was middle-grade first-grade talismans, and he couldn't try to draw high-grade first-grade talismans yet.

Even though he had a second-level full-level talisman-making skill, without materials, it was like a clever woman without rice to cook with.

If he went to the Bai Bao Ge to buy advanced talisman-making materials, he didn't know how to explain it, and he didn't have the spare money.

"Now I can also try to cultivate spells."

"Otherwise, besides talismans, I have no other means."

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.

He had not practiced any spells yet.

Apart from using talismans, he had basically no combat power.

And conflicts and battles were inevitable on the path of cultivation.

Even if Lu Changsheng didn't want to fight, didn't want to compete, and just wanted to peacefully marry and have children, troubles would still come knocking.

It was impossible to rely on luck and walk steadily all the way, undoubtedly self-deception.

"But there's no need to rush. As long as I don't leave the Lu family, there won't be any danger for now."

Lu Changsheng shook his head, walked out of the training room, and went to play and relax with his children.

Just as he picked up a child and came to the courtyard, he saw Li Feiyu coming.

He teased his eldest son in his arms and said, "Come, call Uncle Li."

But the child was only a little over a year old and could only babble.

"Changsheng, congratulations on breaking through to the second level of Qi Refinement."

Li Feiyu congratulated Lu Changsheng.

He lived next door to Lu Changsheng.

He was just practicing martial arts in the courtyard when he sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations here and knew that Lu Changsheng had broken through to the second level of Qi Refinement.

"Hehe, it's been so long, it's about time."

Lu Changsheng smiled.

Li Feiyu had a seventh-grade spiritual root and focused solely on cultivation. He broke through to the second level of Qi Refinement half a year ago.

"Changsheng, why do I feel like you've become much fairer and more handsome than before? What have you been doing?"

At this moment, Li Feiyu looked at Lu Changsheng, who was holding a child, and suddenly made a clicking sound.

Although the two lived next door, they only met once every one or two months.

"Oh, really?"

Upon hearing Li Feiyu's words, Lu Changsheng paused for a moment.

He immediately thought that it must be the effect of his cultivation of the Immortal Grace Technique.

Although he hadn't paid much attention to this cultivation method, he still practiced it from time to time when he remembered.

Although cultivating immortality and refining qi had the effect of purifying the marrow and removing impurities, it didn't bring much improvement to one's appearance, complexion, or skin whitening in the early stages.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng casually said, "Maybe it's because I used to do farm work, but now I've been living a comfortable life and I'm at the age of growing taller, so naturally I've improved a bit."

"Tsk tsk tsk, originally we were like a red flower and green leaf, but if you continue like this, won't you be unable to complement me?" Li Feiyu teased.

"Get lost! Give me a few more years, and you'll be the green leaf that complements me, you brat," Lu Changsheng jokingly scolded.

The next day, Lu Changsheng went to the Lu family's study and spent a spiritual stone to borrow a book called "Introduction to Basic Spells," and began practicing spells.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

In the training room, Lu Changsheng extended his right hand and sparks continuously appeared half an inch above his fingertip.

But as soon as these sparks formed into a fireball, they extinguished.

Lu Changsheng was practicing one of the basic spells, the Fireball Technique.

It could release a small fireball and shoot it out.

However, this spell was not easy to practice.

Not only did it require the coordination of spiritual power, but it also required the recitation of an incantation.

This incantation was not as simple as shouting "Fireball Technique" or anything like that; it was a kind of ancient and obscure syllables.

Coordinating it with spiritual power was quite awkward, so even after practicing for so long, Lu Changsheng still hadn't mastered it.

After practicing for an hour, Lu Changsheng's spiritual power was almost depleted, so he began to meditate and rest.

In this way, Lu Changsheng added another thing to his daily life, practicing spells.

One month later.

"Zzzt!"

On Lu Changsheng's fingertip, a thumb-sized red fireball appeared.

The fireball was not big, but it emitted a scorching high temperature, causing the temperature in the training room to rise.

Looking at the small fireball on his fingertip, Lu Changsheng continued to infuse spiritual power into it, causing the flame of the fireball to grow larger.

When the fireball reached the size of an egg, Lu Changsheng's fingertip trembled slightly.

He pointed his fingertip sharply at the target in front of him and released the fireball.

"Bang!"

The fireball landed on the target and instantly melted the iron target into molten iron.

"Phew!"

"No wonder Feiyu said that the innate strength of martial arts is only comparable to the third level of Qi Refinement."

"In the face of such a fireball, no matter how high one's martial arts skills are, as long as they get hit, they will undoubtedly die."

After seeing the power of the Fireball Technique, Lu Changsheng felt a bit emotional.

He thought of the battle between the Lu family and the Chen family on the Qingzhu Mountain Road.

The speed at which spells were released on both sides was much faster than his own.

And they could release multiple fireballs, water arrows, and wind blades at once, making it difficult to defend against.

"But this spell is too difficult. After a month of practice, I've only mastered the Fireball Technique."

"There are still a bunch of basic spells like Wind Control, Object Manipulation, Clairvoyance, Sound Transmission, and Concealing Qi. When will I be able to practice them all?"

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, shook his head, and sighed.

It took so much time and effort just to learn a basic spell, so what about more advanced spells?

Cultivating immortality really consumed too much time, energy, and money.

This made him think of the talisman-making technique he had acquired.

He somewhat understood why this technique was so precious and in high demand.

It wasn't just because it was difficult.

Cultivating immortality itself already required a great deal of time, energy, and wealth.

Every time one tried to cultivate something else, it would require an additional investment of time, energy, and money.

Most cultivators simply didn't have the time, energy, and money to cultivate other things.

They could only focus on cultivating one path.
