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

Chapter 16: The Child's Spiritual Root!

With a thought, Lu Changsheng took out the golden brick talisman from the system space.

Immediately, a talisman with a golden brick pattern appeared in his hand.

This talisman felt much smoother and thicker than the ones he usually drew.

The golden brick pattern on it emitted a sparkling golden light, vivid and lifelike.

With the knowledge of a second-level symbol master, Lu Changsheng could tell at a glance that the material of this talisman was made from the fur of a high-level monster.

The ordinary symbol paper he used now was mostly made from some low-level spiritual materials.

For example, the green spirit bamboo that covered the Qingzhu Mountain was a kind of low-level spiritual material.

As for advanced and top-quality symbol paper, it required the use of intermediate-level spiritual materials or monster fur.

The materials used to draw second-level talismans were the same.

One needed to use first-level and second-level spiritual materials as raw materials to make symbol paper and spiritual ink.

This was also one of the reasons why symbol masters found it increasingly difficult as they progressed.

Not only was it difficult to improve, but the cost of materials was also expensive.

To improve their skills, they had to constantly invest money into this bottomless pit.

"With this talisman, I also have a trump card. In the future, I will have the power to protect myself against those below the Foundation Building stage."

Lu Changsheng carefully put away this talisman.

Even if it could only unleash a portion of its power during the Qi Refining stage, it was enough for him at the moment.

Just like how a Nascent Soul cultivator's magic treasure could exert two to three percent of its power, it was enough to crush a Foundation Building cultivator.

When he, at the Qi Refining stage, used a talisman, even if it only unleashed a portion of its power, it was enough to crush a Qi Refining cultivator.

"Tomorrow, I will tell Fubo that I can refine first-grade inferior talismans."

Lu Changsheng glanced at the darkening night outside the window.

It had been a year and a half since he first purchased the materials for making talismans at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

In this year and a half, he had purchased five to six hundred pieces of symbol paper and drawn that many talismans.

He was also almost ready to reveal his identity as an intermediate-level symbol master at this time.

Coincidentally, he had already told his wife and concubines about this matter when he mentioned his son, Lu Xianzhi, today, so there was no need to wait any longer.

Thinking of his son, Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of his own spiritual root.

His spiritual root had shown a mysterious fluctuation at the moment of his son's birth.

But since then, he had felt nothing.

"I wonder what grade of spiritual root my son has."

"How much has my spiritual root changed under his talent bonus?"

Lu Changsheng pondered.

The spiritual root was a virtual reference to one's aptitude for cultivating immortality.

It was not a visible organ in the body.

According to the descriptions in the books he had read before, cultivators with spiritual roots had different Tianmen acupoints and Dantian from ordinary people.

Therefore, even though Lu Changsheng was a cultivator, he couldn't specifically see what changes had occurred in his own spiritual root or how much it had changed.

He could only use special treasures that detected spiritual roots or spells like the Heavenly Eye Technique to see.

But currently, Lu Changsheng did not possess these conditions.

So, he chose the simplest and most direct method.

To see how much his cultivation speed had increased compared to before in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After several hours passed, Lu Changsheng could confirm that his cultivation speed had indeed increased.

But this increase was very small.

Less than ten percent.

With only this little bonus, Lu Changsheng came to a conclusion.

His son's spiritual root was not that great.

Even if just born, with undeveloped spiritual roots, even if they can grow to five or six years old, it is estimated that they won't be very talented.

As expected, they are eighth or ninth-grade, low-grade spiritual roots.

"The seventh child has spiritual roots, which is already considered lucky. How could the spiritual roots be any better?"

Lu Changsheng sighed slightly, knowing that this was very normal.

His concubines were all ordinary people, and his own spiritual roots were only ninth-grade. The probability of children having spiritual roots was about one or two percent.

For the seventh child to have spiritual roots was already considered very lucky.

As for how good the spiritual roots were, middle-grade spiritual roots, high-grade spiritual roots, it was really thinking too much.

Except for a few rare cases, most children's spiritual roots were similar to their parents, and they couldn't reach a higher level.

Moreover, among those who have spiritual roots, ninety-nine percent of them have low-grade spiritual roots.

This group of immortal seedlings from the Lu family all had low-grade spiritual roots, not a single one had middle-grade spiritual roots.

"If you want to have more children with spiritual roots, you still have to have children with women who have spiritual roots."

"If both parents have spiritual roots and are cultivators, the probability of their children having spiritual roots can reach ten to twenty percent."

Lu Changsheng thought in his heart.

Thinking that if he continued to have children with ordinary women, ninety-nine percent of his children would be ordinary people.

He did have many ulterior motives when it came to marriage and having children.

But he didn't want to continue to have children like this.

By then, the children without spiritual roots could only watch as they grew old and died.

As for letting them grow up happily and live a happy life.

Having fewer children now was not a problem, he could take care of them properly.

But what if there were a certain number of children?

Lu Changsheng knew that by then, he would definitely not be able to treat them all equally.

Looking at the history of his previous life, he knew that emperors killed their own sons.

If he had too many children, he would definitely be like that, not bothering with children without spiritual roots.

Moreover, marrying wives and concubines and having children also required a certain amount of time and energy for him.

"Huh, thinking about this is still a bit far off."

"Having children is something that should be done. If conditions permit, it is best to have high-quality offspring."

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, shook his head, and didn't continue to think about this.

He also felt that he was thinking too much, being indecisive and emotional.

Cultivation itself was an extraordinary matter. If he was too entangled in emotions, it would be difficult for him to go far, and he might even create inner demons for himself.

"I wonder if I can marry a woman from the Lu family who has spiritual roots after becoming a talisman master."

Seeing that it was already bright outside, Lu Changsheng got up and prepared to go and tell Fubo that he could draw first-grade low-grade talismans.

Suddenly, he thought that if he became a first-grade talisman master, could he marry a woman from the Lu family who had spiritual roots.

If it was before, this would definitely be impossible.

It was just wishful thinking for a mere son-in-law to eat swan meat!?

But now.

With his talent in talisman making, becoming a first-grade talisman master was not impossible.

As long as it wasn't marrying Miss Lu Miaoge, the core woman of the Lu family, there should be hope.

"If I can marry a few women with spiritual roots, it would be the best. The children born in the future will most likely have spiritual roots."

"For both me and the children, it would be a good thing."

"But, it's not urgent for now. It can't be rushed."

Lu Changsheng thought in his heart.

If he could marry women with spiritual roots, it would be great.

But he was only at the second level of Qi Refining now, and his only reliance was the first-grade low-grade talisman-making technique.

Even if he married a wife with spiritual roots, it would be difficult to maintain harmony and tranquility in the harem.

Moreover, if he made such a request to the Lu family, it would definitely not be as simple as marrying a concubine from a secular family. It would require some cost.

So Lu Changsheng felt that this was not something to be considered urgently. He would consider it when his conditions improved in the future.

Leaving that aside, with his second-level talisman-making technique, it wouldn't be difficult to marry a few "fairies" with spiritual roots in the future.
