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

Chapter 92: Seven Levels of Qi Refinement, Lottery!

Two days later.

A flying boat landed outside Qingzhu Mountain.

Lu Changsheng and his family of six, along with the two elders, disembarked from the flying boat and entered Qingzhu Mountain.

On the way, people saw Lu Changsheng carrying a child, while Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen had slightly bulging bellies and also carried babies. This sight aroused curiosity and sparked some small discussions.

"Why did Lu Changsheng and Sister Miaoyun bring back a child each?"

"They must be their own children."

"I remember they didn't carry any children when they left."

"Didn't Lu Changsheng go to the market to take care of the shop? Could it be that they had children outside and brought them back?"

"They are really good at giving birth. They can give birth wherever they go."

"Don't you know? Lu Changsheng really likes having children. Look, Sister Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen are pregnant again."

"Wow, when it comes to having children, I can only admire Lu Changsheng!"

"If the family head had recruited more immortal seedlings like Lu Changsheng, I wonder how much vitality it would have brought to our Lu family."

Many young members of the Lu family discussed.

"What the f*ck, didn't Lu Changsheng say he didn't need to have fifty children? Why is he working so hard?"

"You can tell that he really likes having children deep down!"

"I still need thirty-eight more children. Do you think Lu Changsheng would agree to help me have them?"

A few immortal seedlings whispered when they saw this scene.

Lu Changsheng was unaware of and indifferent to the curiosity and discussions of others.

After all, they weren't saying anything bad. He really did like having children.

After returning home, Lu Changsheng settled the three babies.

He went to see his thirty-third and thirty-fourth children.

Although the babies looked similar and having so many children didn't feel special anymore, as a father, he still had to see them when he returned home.

Then, Lu Changsheng handed the purchased beauty-preserving pills and some gifts to his wives.

"Thank you, husband!"

"These things are so precious!"

"You've spent a lot, husband."

"Thank you, Sister Miaoyun!"

His wives were extremely surprised and moved when they saw these gifts and heard about the effects of the beauty-preserving pills.

They didn't expect Lu Changsheng to give them such precious pills.

To them, it was like an elixir!

A few wives were even moved to tears.

These wives were all secular women from the Lu family, who married Lu Changsheng in the beginning because of the rewards and the desire to contribute to the family.

At most, they had a slight desire for a noble status.

They hoped to give birth to children with spiritual roots.

They didn't have many expectations for Lu Changsheng as a husband.

They never imagined that Lu Changsheng would rise from being a surplus son-in-law to his current position.

With Lu Changsheng, their status also rose.

They now lived a life that they couldn't have imagined before.

Now that Lu Changsheng had reached this point, they started to feel a bit inferior, knowing that they were not worthy of him.

But now, Lu Changsheng's attitude towards them hadn't changed.

He even gave them such precious gifts, which naturally moved them to tears of joy.

They felt that marrying Lu Changsheng was the right choice in their lives.

"Why are you crying?"

Lu Changsheng didn't expect that his gift would make them cry. He immediately comforted them.

"Husband, you are too good to us. It's so touching and makes us so happy."

Lu Yuzhu said with a moved expression.

"You are my wives. If I'm not good to you, who else would I be good to?"

"This is just the beginning. The conditions at home will get better and better in the future, and the lives of you and the children will also improve."

Lu Changsheng wiped away their tears and said gently.

Although these wives couldn't be considered as neglected wives, Lu Changsheng was not the kind of person who would forget the old when he had the new.

As the saying goes, utilitarianism is still utilitarianism.

Since they had become his wives and the mothers of his children, Lu Changsheng would fulfill his responsibilities.

When Lu Changsheng said this, the other wives were also deeply moved.

Even Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen were very touched.

After all,

this world fundamentally belonged to a feudal society where the strong preyed on the weak.

Although Lu Changsheng had many wives, his behavior towards women was considered respectful and he was a good man.

After comforting and soothing one of his wives, Lu Changsheng had the children who could walk line up and distributed gifts to each of them.

"Thank you, Daddy!"

"Mua, thank you, Daddy!"

These children were overjoyed when they saw the gifts, food, and toys.

As for the ones who are too young to walk or talk, still in their infancy, Lu Changsheng directly turned the warm sun jade into a pendant and hung it on them.

After completing these tasks and seeing the happy and joyful expressions on the faces of his wives and children, Lu Changsheng also had a smile on his face, feeling pleased and spiritually fulfilled.

Such is life, what more could one ask for!

In the midst of this strong emotion, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a slight movement in his dantian.

His cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Refinement, at this moment, showed a slight loosening.

Lu Changsheng was immediately filled with joy.

Realizing that the opportunity to break through the mid-stage of Qi Refinement and enter the late stage had arrived, he immediately informed his wives and concubines, and quickly went to his practice room to break through.

Lu Changsheng took out a bottle of Qi Refinement Powder from his storage bag and poured it into his mouth.

Then, he held two spirit stones in his hand, closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began to circulate his Yuan Power, attempting to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement.

The Qi Refinement Powder entered his abdomen, causing the spiritual energy in his dantian to boil like a stream, emitting a faint spiritual pressure throughout his body.

Lu Changsheng guided this spiritual power in his dantian and meridians with his Yuan Power, forming a complete circulation route, causing his entire body to surge with energy and the spiritual pressure to grow stronger.

It was unknown how long had passed.

"Boom!"

Lu Changsheng's body suddenly shook, and an invisible dust spread throughout his body.

At this moment, his whole person seemed ethereal and his entire body became light and transparent.

He had reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement!

He suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart, slowly calming down the restless Yuan Power in his meridians.

After a while, his breath stabilized.

"The seventh level of Qi Refinement, I have finally entered the late stage of Qi Refinement!"

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, his gaze shining with joy.

The seventh level of Qi Refinement meant that he had entered the late stage of Qi Refinement.

Such cultivation was rare even in the entire Lu Family.

Only Lu Yuanding of his generation and the senior members of the Lu Family had such cultivation strength.

Among his peers and those of the same age, Lu Changsheng only knew of Lu Miaoge.

There were probably only a few other young members of the Lu Family.

"The path of cultivation has countless methods, and it is not just about cultivating diligently. Different people have different paths."

"Some people focus on closed-door cultivation, while others go out to experience life and breakthroughs in life and death. There are also those who observe the world in the hustle and bustle of the mortal realm, seeking opportunities for breakthroughs."

"And today, I am more or less the same."

"In the end, the bottleneck of cultivation is not just about cultivation, but also about having a clear mind and a refined spiritual state."

At this moment, Lu Changsheng also had some insights.

During his usual reading, he came across many theories about the path of cultivation.

But this kind of thing, it seems, sounds, and feels very mysterious and abstract.

However, just now, seeing the happy and contented faces of his wives and children, he couldn't help but feel enlightened and spiritually satisfied, causing a loosening of the bottleneck at the sixth level of Qi cultivation.

Bottlenecks and breakthrough opportunities seem elusive.

But in this world, they do exist.

Just like the common vows, karmic relationships, and the concept of qi fortune in the cultivation world!

Lu Changsheng didn't think much about it, he closed his eyes again and quietly experienced the changes after the breakthrough.

The spiritual power flowing through his meridians was not only much stronger, but also much purer.

In his dantian, where threads of spiritual energy used to intertwine like a stream, it had now formed a small lake.

This is the Dan Lake!

It symbolizes the later stage of Qi cultivation, where spiritual energy condenses into a lake!

When one cultivates to the peak of Qi cultivation and the Dan Lake becomes a true sea, supporting the Dao platform, one can completely shed their mortal body, establish the Dao foundation, and become a Foundation Building cultivator!

"At the seventh level of Qi cultivation, not only is the spiritual energy several times stronger, but my mental state has also improved a lot!"

Lu Changsheng felt not only energetic and agile, but also his consciousness and thinking seemed much clearer.

This is a person's mental state.

There are three major hurdles in breaking through from the Qi cultivation stage to the Foundation Building stage.

Among them, the last hurdle is the transformation of the mental state, giving birth to divine consciousness!

Thus, one can project their consciousness externally.

This greatly facilitates cultivation, battles, and other matters.

"With my current cultivation strength, I can also try to draw second-grade talismans."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

When he was at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, as long as he had the materials for making talismans, he could draw top-grade talismans.

Now that he has broken through the bottleneck and become a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi cultivation, both his mental state and spiritual power have greatly improved.

This gives him confidence and about seventy to eighty percent certainty in drawing second-grade talismans.

"But the materials for second-grade talismans are not only expensive, they are also not as readily available as first-grade talisman paper and spiritual ink."

"And, if I want to draw second-grade talismans, the current medium-grade artifact talisman pen is obviously not enough. I need at least a top-grade artifact talisman pen."

Lu Changsheng shook his head again.

He knew that he still lacked the most important thing to draw second-grade talismans.

Money!

Without much thought, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, and a faint smile appeared on his face, saying, "To break through to the seventh level of Qi cultivation in less than seven years is not bad!"

"It's also not in vain that I have been working hard for so many years!"

Lu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction and was about to leave the training room.

However, just as he was about to open the door, Lu Changsheng paused.

He double-checked his own spiritual power, making sure it was completely concealed by the magic tools and the colorful skirt woman's jade pendant on his body.

After all, he was still at the fourth level of Qi cultivation in public.

Even if he broke through, it would only indicate the fifth level of Qi cultivation at most.

If he were to show the seventh level of Qi cultivation, there would be no way to explain it.

After confirming that there was no problem, Lu Changsheng opened the door and walked out of the training room.

Outside the courtyard, a group of wives and concubines were waiting for him.

Previously, Lu Changsheng had mentioned that he had a feeling and was about to break through, so they all came to wait for him.

They hoped that their husband would see them as soon as he broke through and share the joy with them.

"Husband!"

"Husband!"

"Husband!"

The gazes of the women all converged on Lu Changsheng, and they all called out in unison.

Seeing this scene before him, with the loving, admiring, and caring gazes of the women, Lu Changsheng chuckled and said, "Hehe, it's just a small step forward in my cultivation."

Lu Changsheng had a handsome face and spoke calmly and lightly.

"Congratulations to my husband for breaking through to the fifth level of Qi cultivation!"

Seeing Lu Changsheng's appearance, Lu Miaoyun immediately showed a joyful expression and was the first to congratulate him.

"Congratulations to my husband for the breakthrough!"

"Congratulations to my husband for advancing further on the path of immortality!"

"Congratulations, Daddy!"

"Congratulations, Daddy! Daddy is amazing!"

The other wives and concubines followed Lu Miaoyun's lead, cupping their hands and bowing, teaching their children to congratulate Lu Changsheng.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but laugh heartily and said, "Very well, today, I have broken through to the fifth level of Qi cultivation, and we must celebrate!"

That night, the entire Qingzhu Mountain fell into darkness and silence.

Only in Lu Changsheng's house in Qingzhu Valley, the lights were on, and he was celebrating today's breakthrough with his wives and concubines.

The next day, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun went out to pay respects to the fourth elder.

After all, he had returned, so he had to pay respects to this old lady.

When they arrived at the residence of the fourth elder, they happened to run into the second elder leaving.

"Second Grandfather."

"Second Elder."

Lu Changsheng smiled and greeted him.

In his heart, he couldn't help but think, could this second elder be the sixth child?

He had acted and moved in Jiulongfang City, and as soon as he returned to Qingzhu Mountain, he came to talk to the fourth elder.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng was straightforward and didn't fear others talking behind his back!

"Changsheng, Yun'er, you've come."

When the fourth elder saw Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun, a loving smile appeared on her face.

Then, she chatted briefly and began to examine Lu Changsheng's talisman-making skills.

In terms of talisman-making, Lu Changsheng's performance was similar to last time.

He was already proficient in drawing Frost Talismans, and he had just started learning another medium-grade talisman.

With his performance from last time and the reason of having a spiritual body, the fourth elder was more accepting of Lu Changsheng's progress.

But she couldn't help but notice that Lu Changsheng's progress in the past six months was about the same as the previous four months.

She couldn't help but think that Lu Changsheng's progress this time was not as good as last time, maybe because he had fewer encounters in the past six months.

But as an elder, she couldn't ask about such things.

She couldn't possibly say, "Changsheng, if your body can handle it, it's okay to have more encounters. I'll explain it to Yun'er."

"Not bad, not bad."

"Changsheng, at this rate, in at most a year, you will become a high-grade talisman master!"

The fourth elder said with a delighted and gratified expression.

"Changsheng will definitely work hard."

Lu Changsheng said so himself.

That was also his plan.

To demonstrate his skills as a high-grade talisman master in about a year.

About a year earlier than his original plan.

After all, with the addition of a spiritual body, his speed had increased, which was quite normal.

"Changsheng, you still need to work hard in your cultivation and not slack off."

"Although the fourth level of Qi cultivation can draw high-grade talismans, it is still a bit difficult. It would be best to break through to the fifth level of Qi cultivation as soon as possible."

The fourth elder looked at Lu Changsheng's cultivation and spiritual power.

But she found that his spiritual power was concealed, and she couldn't see it at all.

She didn't pay much attention to it.

She knew that there must be some treasure hiding his spiritual power.

After all, it was very normal to do such things when going out.

"Grandma, Changsheng just broke through to the fifth level of Qi cultivation yesterday."

Lu Changsheng heard this and knew that the fourth elder didn't see his cultivation because of the magic tools and the colorful skirt woman's jade pendant.

He said calmly without changing his expression.

Yesterday's breakthrough is not something that can be easily concealed, there's nothing to hide.

To go from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level in one year and eight months, although it may sound exaggerated, it can still be considered acceptable.

"What? You've already broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining!"

When the fourth elder heard this, he was somewhat surprised.

After all, Lu Changsheng is not just a ninth-grade spiritual root.

He also spends a lot of time and energy on making talismans, managing the shop, and dealing with romantic affairs.

So, under these circumstances, his speed of breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Refining is indeed quite astonishing.

"Yes, Grandmother."

"Changsheng knows that his talent is lacking, so he has never slackened in his cultivation."

"Normally, Changsheng also draws some talismans, sells them to a former friend, and sells some of them in the Spiritual Talisman Shop. He uses the spirit stones he earns to buy elixirs for cultivation."

Lu Changsheng spoke, revealing the matter of Hong Yi and selling talismans in the Spiritual Talisman Shop.

After all, he has never thought of hiding these things from the Lu family, nor is he afraid of the Lu family knowing.

"Alright, alright, knowing that you haven't neglected your cultivation, Grandmother can rest assured."

"These things are all trivial matters, as long as you know in your heart. If you have any problems in your cultivation, you can come and ask Grandmother. If you need any help, feel free to ask Grandmother."

The fourth elder said with a pleased expression.

In her heart, she vaguely speculated that Lu Changsheng's spiritual body might also have some benefits in terms of cultivation speed.

But this speed is not too astonishing, so she didn't inquire too much.

Then she began to guide and teach Lu Changsheng in making talismans.

Teaching Lu Changsheng how to make talismans is also a kind of enjoyment for her.

After all, having such a successful disciple brings her a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.

Especially when thinking about the future, cultivating a second-tier talisman master, it makes her have a few more fondness for Lu Changsheng.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Lu Changsheng followed the second elder back to Jiulongfang Market.

Originally, he planned to take Lu Lanshu, Lu Qing'er, or Lu Zier to Jiulongfang Market.

But the girls said that the Spiritual Power Testing Ceremony is only three months away, and they wanted to stay at home with the children.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng didn't force them.

He then took two other wives to Jiulongfang Market.

"Lu Xiong, how many wives do you actually have?"

After arriving at Jiulongfang Market, Yu Maocheng couldn't help but ask when he saw Lu Changsheng bringing two unfamiliar women with him.

"Not many, just five wives, nine concubines, two favored concubines, and fifteen maidservants."

Lu Changsheng said.

"Am I really fucking stupid?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Maocheng wondered why he asked this question.

He slapped himself twice in the face.

"Brother Yu, don't be like this, don't be like this, Brother Yu."

Lu Changsheng quickly pulled him back.

After returning home, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head.

He felt that he still wanted to be friends with Yu Maocheng, so he should talk less about this topic.

Then, he counted the spirit stones on his body.

A total of two hundred and five spirit stones.

"Ah, I'm so poor!"

Lu Changsheng sighed deeply.

The daily expenses now are not small.

In addition to buying gifts for his wives and children recently, he has spent too much, so he hasn't saved much money at all.

"It seems that I can only go to Baiyu Tower later."

"As for the matter of second-tier talismans, I can only put it aside for now."

Lu Changsheng looked at the small amount of spirit stones and could only temporarily give up going to Baiyu Tower and the task of drawing second-tier talismans.

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

The four maids that Lu Changsheng had purchased before, the last one among them also successfully became pregnant.

This brings the total number of Lu Changsheng's children to fifty.

"The Lu family is really decent. They gave me twenty years to fulfill their request of having fifty children."

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh when he thought that he had completed the Lu family's request in just over six years.

Unfortunately, he is no longer a son-in-law of the Lu family.

Otherwise, with his efficiency, Lu Yuanding, the head of the Lu family, would have praised him vigorously in front of everyone.

Another month passed.

Lu Changsheng's thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, and thirty-ninth children were born.

"I wonder if there will be a reward for the fortieth?"

Lu Changsheng felt a bit of anticipation for the next child, who would be born soon.

Nine days later.

When the fortieth child was born, a system prompt sounded.

"Congratulations to the host for reaching a total of forty offspring and obtaining one chance to draw a prize!"
