    Chapter 16 The child’s spiritual roots!

    With a thought, Lu Changsheng raised the Golden Light Brick Rune Treasure from the system space.

    Immediately, a talisman with a long golden brick painted on it appeared in his hand out of nowhere.

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

    The long golden brick pattern on it radiates a glittering golden light and comes to life.

    With the technical knowledge of a second-ranked talisman master, Lu Changsheng could tell at a glance that the material of this talisman treasure was manufactured through the fur of a high-ranked demonic beast.

    Like the ordinary talisman paper he was using now, it was mostly made from some low-grade spirit materials.

    Like the Green Spirit Bamboo that roamed the Green Bamboo Mountain, it was a low-grade spirit material.

    And when it comes to advanced, extremely high-grade talisman paper, it has to be made with entry-level spiritual materials or demonic beast fur.

    As for the materials used to draw second-order talismans, it was the same.

    You need to use first-order and second-order spiritual materials as raw materials to make talisman paper and spiritual ink.

    This was also one of the reasons why it became increasingly difficult to become a talisman master, the further back you went.

    Not only is it difficult to lift, but the cost of materials is expensive.

    To improve your skills, you have to keep pouring money into this bottomless pit.

    “With this talisman treasure, I also have a bottom card, and in the future, when I face under the Foundation Establishment, I will have the power to save my life.”

    Lu Changsheng put this talismanic treasure away carefully.

    Even if the Qi Refining Stage could only explode part of its power, it would be enough for him at the moment.

    It was as if 20 or 30% of the power of a JieDan real person’s magic treasure was enough to crush a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

    When he used a talismanic treasure at the Qi Refining Stage, even a partial burst of power would be enough to crush a Qi Refining Stage cultivator.

    “Tomorrow, I’ll go and tell Uncle Fu that I’m able to refine first-order lower-grade talismans.”

    Lu Changsheng looked out the window at the already darkened night.

    It had also been a year and a half since he had gone to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to purchase his first talisman making materials.

    The talisman paper he had purchased and the talismans he had drawn in this year and a half amounted to five hundred and six.

    The fire is almost ready.

    He had previously been about ready to reveal the matter of the Entry Grade Rune Master at this time as well.

    It just so happens that today’s son Lu Xianzhi’s matter, with his wife and concubines said this matter, there is no need to wait.

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

    His spiritual root, too, appeared with a subtle throbbing sensation just at the moment his son was born.

    But after the fact until now, there has been no feeling.

    “I also don’t know how many grades of spiritual roots this son of mine is.”

    “How much my spiritual roots have changed with his talent addition.”

    Lu Changsheng secretly said.

    Spiritual roots belong to the false references for the qualifications for cultivating immortals.

    It’s not just one more visible organ in the body.

    According to the description in the book he had read before, Immortal Cultivators who possessed Spiritual Roots were the human body’s Heavenly Gate Points and Dantian were different from mortals.

    Therefore, even if Lu Changsheng was an Immortal Cultivator, there was no way for him to specifically see what and how much his spiritual roots had changed.

    One could only look at it with treasures that specialized in detecting spiritual roots, or with a spell aptitude like the Spiritual Eye Technique.

    But at the moment, Lu Changsheng didn’t have any of these conditions.

    So, he chooses the simplest and most direct method.

    Let’s see how much of a difference there was between the speed at which he cultivated and drew in heaven and earth’s spiritual qi, and how much of a difference there was between before and before.

    After all, the most direct and obvious manifestation of Spiritual Root enhancement was in the sensory throughput of Spiritual Qi.

    The better the spiritual root, the higher the integration with the aura sensing, the faster the cultivation speed, and the fewer the bottlenecks.

    Several hours passed.

    Lu Changsheng could be certain that his cultivation speed had indeed increased.

    But that lift, it’s small.

    It’s less than 10%.

    With only such a small addition, Lu Changsheng had come to a conclusion in his mind.

    This son of his own, his spiritual root, wasn’t good either.

    Even if they were just born and their spiritual roots were not yet finalized, and they were able to grow up to the age of five or six, it was estimated that they would not be able to go any higher.

    Unsurprisingly, it’s the eighth grade, ninth grade lower grade spiritual roots.

    “The seventh child has a spiritual root, Ben is considered lucky, how can he still have a spiritual root much better.”

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

    His own wives and concubines were all ordinary people, and his own spiritual root was only ninth grade, and the probability of his child possessing a spiritual root was about one or two percent.

    The seventh child, to have a spiritual root, was already considered very lucky.

    As for how good the spiritual roots that were born were, medium grade spiritual roots, top grade spiritual roots, it was really a bit too much to think about.

    Except for a very few cases, most children’s spiritual roots were about the same as their parents’, and not much higher.

    Not to mention, ninety-nine percent of those who possessed spiritual roots were lower grade spiritual roots.

    All of the Immortal Saplings from their group who had come to the Lu Family were all lower-grade Spiritual Roots, and none of them had middle-grade Spiritual Roots.

    “If you want to have more children with spiritual roots, you still have to have them with women who have spiritual roots.”

    “If both parents have spiritual roots or are Immortal Cultivators, the probability of a child possessing spiritual roots is as high as one or two percent.”

    Lu Changsheng thought in his heart.

    It occurred to me that if I had kept on having children like this, with ordinary women, ninety-nine percent of my children would be ordinary.

    He does have a lot of utilitarianism mixed in with marriage and children.

    But he didn’t want to go crazy raw like this either.

    When the time comes, children without spiritual roots can only watch them grow old and die.

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

    Now that there are fewer children there is naturally no problem with him being able to level the waters and treat them all well.

    But what if there are a certain number of children?

    Lu Changsheng knew that when the time came, he would never be able to level the playing field and do the same thing.

    Just look at the history of the past life, when the emperor killed his own son.

    If he himself had given birth to too many, he would certainly be like this, not even bothering to ask about children without spiritual roots.

    Moreover, taking a wife and concubine and having a baby would take some time and effort for himself.

    “Phew, thinking about that is still a bit far away.”

    “It’s natural to give birth, and it’s better to try to be eugenic if you can.”

    Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and shook his head, not continuing to think more in this regard.

    He also felt like he was thinking a little too much, a little indecisive and emotional.

    Immortal cultivation is a matter of going against the grain, if one is too entangled in one’s feelings, it is difficult to go far, and one may even get oneself to have a heart demon.

    “I wonder if I’ll be able to marry a woman from the Lu family who possesses a spiritual root after I become a talisman master.”

    Seeing that the sky was already bright, Lu Changsheng got up and went out, ready to go and talk to Uncle Fu about the fact that he was able to draw a first-order lower-grade talisman.

    It suddenly occurred to him that if he became a first-ranked talisman master, would he be able to marry a woman with a spiritual root in the Lu family.

    If it were before, this would never have been possible.

    It is an obsession.

    A mere son-in-law, how dare a toad eat swan meat!

    But now.

    With the talent he had shown in talisman making, it was not impossible to become an Entry Grade Talisman Master.

    As long as it didn’t mean marrying the eldest Miss Lu Miaogao, this kind of Lu family’s core woman should have hope.

    “It would naturally be best if we can marry a few women who possess spiritual roots, and the children we give birth to in the future will have a high probability of possessing spiritual roots.”

    “It’s good both for me and for the kids.”

    “But there’s no hurry for a while, and there’s no rush.”

    Lu Changsheng thought in his heart.

    It would be good to marry a woman with a spiritual root.

    However, he was only at the second level of Qi Refining now, and his only reliance was nothing more than a first-order lower-grade talisman-making skill.

    Even if you marry a spiritual root wife, I’m afraid it’s easy for the husband’s program to fail, and it’s difficult for the harem to be as harmonious and peaceful as it is now.

    Moreover, if one were to make such a request to the Lu family, it would certainly not be as simple as concubinage of a secular woman from the Lu family, and some price would need to be paid.

    Therefore, Lu Changsheng felt that there was no hurry to consider this for the time being, and he would consider it later when the conditions came up.

    Other than that, with his second-stage talisman making skills, it wouldn’t be too difficult for him to marry a few ‘fairies’ with spiritual roots in the future.
