Chapter 173 – Opening the Source and Saving the Flow, Nine Nine Xuan Fu Scriptures!

Chapter 173 – Open Source and Reduce Expenditures, Nine-Nine Xuan Fu Scriptures!

Three months later.

Red Leaf Valley Place, within the cave area.

Lu Changsheng operated the ‘Seven Yao Great Self-Sustaining Sword Sutra’, seven sword awns lingered around him, floating and powerful, gulping and sputtering, causing his robes to hunt and bulge.

As the aura of heaven and earth continued to sweep in, the sword aura around him grew sharper and sharper, forming a powerful spiritual pressure.

“Boom!”

The spiritual pressure gradually dissipated as a rumble went off within his body.

“Three years and seven months, second level of Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and a faint smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth.

The Divine Sense then looked inward, checking the situation after his own breakthrough.

The Dantian Qi Sea expanded once again, able to hold more liquid mana.

Divine Sense had a small increase with the cultivation breakthrough.

However, due to the fact that under the Violet Mansion Dan, his Divine Sense had already been raised to one hundred and fifty feet, this breakthrough only raised the range by almost seven or eight feet.

“I also wonder when I’ll be able to draw an alchemy skill through the system.”

“Otherwise, if this continues, the pills at the Qi Refining Stage will have little to no effect on me, and the effect will be minimal.”

Lu Changsheng glanced at the empty bottle of Qi Gathering Pills next to him and exhaled lightly.

In a big market like the Green Cloud Market, there were big stores like the Green Cloud Chamber of Commerce and the Danding Pavilion, so if you were willing to spend money, you would still be able to buy some pills to enhance your Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

But it was difficult in a workshop like Red Leaf Valley.

Even the supply of elixirs to enhance the cultivation level of the late stage of qi refining was limited.

Otherwise, with the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp refining the dan poison and searing the mana, his cultivation speed could be doubled again.

Without much thought, after calming his mana slightly, Lu Changsheng flicked a ‘Cleansing Technique’ towards himself.

Cleaning up the slight dirt and dust brought about by the breakthrough in cultivation and the easy cleansing of the marrow, he stepped out of the practice room with a refreshed spirit.

“Congratulations to Lu Lang for breaking through to the second level of Foundation Establishment!”

In the living room, Xiao Xi Yue looked at Lu Changsheng, her stunning face revealing a gentle smile.

Carrying a baby for nine months had left her belly high and dry.

But it didn’t spoil her beauty.

Instead, it gave her whole person an extra richness and roundness of a young woman.

Ice muscle and jade bones, cold and holy face, but also with time, gradually overflowing with a layer of moving maternal charm.

It made all of her original cool colors turn into gentle beauty.

Raise your hands and feet to reveal a sacred and holy beauty.

“It’s just a small breakthrough.”

“If it wasn’t for this little guy, you would have almost broken through, Xi Yue.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xi Yue in front of him and said in a warm voice.

“Even without this little guy, I didn’t break through to the second level of Foundation Establishment so quickly.”

Xiao Xi Yue touched her belly and said softly.

Although she was in dual cultivation with Lu Changsheng, her cultivation had progressed rapidly.

However, after every double cultivation, she had to spend time to consolidate her cultivation base.

Unlike Lu Changsheng, who had the Seven Obsidian Heart Lamp always searing his mana and condensing his roots.

Moreover, in addition to cultivation, she also had to find time every day to cultivate her artistry aptitude.

Therefore, he was still quite surprised in his heart that Lu Changsheng had broken through to the second level of Foundation Establishment so quickly.

After all, spending time with Lu Changsheng on weekdays, she knew that Lu Changsheng only spent two or three hours a day on cultivation.

Lu Changsheng’s means of facing two Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators earlier made her instinctively think that Lu Changsheng had spent a lot of time on cultivating divine arts.

Otherwise, how could there be that kind of divine means.

He had to accompany his wife and children, cultivate divine arts and techniques, and distract himself from the Rune Dao.

The fact that her cultivation was still progressing so quickly under these circumstances naturally surprised her.

However, she didn’t ask too many questions, knowing that Lu Changsheng had a big secret, possessing some sort of rare spirit body or even a dao body.

Otherwise, with a ninth grade spiritual root, it was absolutely impossible to have this kind of cultivation speed.

“Hard work, Heiyuki.”

Lu Changsheng sat aside and said gently.

The palm of his hand gently stroked Xiao Xi Yue’s bulging, white and soft stomach.

“It’s not hard work, it’s a practice, an experience for me.”

Xiao Xi Yue gently shook her head and said.

After the pregnancy, she could clearly recognize that there was a change in her state of mind.

It gave her a new sense, a new understanding of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique.

I think this is also the red dust and life, a kind of practice, an experience.

When Lu Changsheng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He thought to himself that this Taishang Forgetfulness Technique really makes one think of cultivation at all times, no matter what one does.

After chatting with Xiao Xiyue for a while, Lu Changsheng indicated that he would go back to Green Bamboo Mountain.

Although Xiao Xi Yue was pregnant, he spent more time and energy on this side.

But the two sides of Green Bamboo Mountain and Ruyi County couldn’t just let it go.

Every month or two, he would still go back to deal with trivial matters, care about the situation of his wife’s children, and make babies.

Today, the total number of his children is also up to one hundred and forty-six.

After returning to Green Bamboo Mountain, Lu Changsheng routinely cared about his children and Bai Ling’s cultivation.

Son Lu Xianzhi was currently at the third level of Qi Refining because of the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Lu Changsheng didn’t give him the Step Breaking Pill either.

Let him make his own slow water-mill breakthrough.

After all, taking a Step Breaking Pill at the present stage would inevitably have an effect on the follow-up.

Although the ninth grade spiritual root, basically no follow-up potential, but in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, can break through on their own, or try to break through on their own, there is no rush these time.

Lu Quanzhen had also broken through to the third level of Qi Refining.

The daughters, Lu Ruyi and Lu Yun, were at the second level of Qi Refining.

As for Bai Ling, she had long since broken through the fourth level of Qi Refining.

It was estimated that after a while, he would be able to break through the fifth level of Qi Refining.

This speed made Lu Changsheng stagger.

In just three years, Lu Changsheng hadn’t even given any pills to cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining and was about to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

This speed was completely not inferior to Xiao Xi Yue at the time, and it was even one step better.

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng was concerned about the situation of his other sons and daughters.

The fifth child with a spiritual root, also twelve years old, began to cultivate.

But it hasn’t finished drawing qi into the body.

“Starting next year, I’ll be able to cultivate my children and have a small explosion.”

After spending a day, Lu Changsheng cared for all the children once.

Knowing that in the next four years, he would have fifteen children with spiritual roots that would begin their journey into immortality.

This was due to the frantic seeding he had done when he first arrived at the Nine Dragons Place.

Sixty babies in just five years.

That averages out to one per month.

If it wasn’t for the second and fourth elders persuading him to take care of his health and exercise a little restraint, I’m afraid this number would have risen.

“Nine Dragons Place.”

Lu Changsheng recalled the days when he was in the Nine Dragons Market and purchased maids from the White Jade House.

“It feels like it’s time to pick out a little more of the maids as well.”

He couldn’t help but wonder in his mind.

Nowadays, among these wives and concubines, except for Lu Miaogue who only gave birth to one, Lu Miaohuan gave birth to two.

All the others had at least three or four.

A few more concubines had given birth to five or six.

In Lu Changsheng’s opinion, this amount was about right.

Granted, bought maids have no human rights.

But you can’t treat people as complete birthing machines.

It was only by putting their hearts in the right place that these concubines, could die to him.

Otherwise, when the child is older, it will be uncomfortable to watch his own mother being like this.

“If you want to cut back on expenses, you naturally have to open up your sources and increase the number of maids.”

“Moreover, I have money nowadays, so I can head to the White Jade House and purchase a few maidservants with middle-grade spirit roots or even upper-grade spirit roots.”

Lu Changsheng pondered slightly in his mind and decided to go to the White Jade House in the Nine Dragons Marketplace when he had the time to take a look after a while.

It’s not just about open-sourcing and cutting costs.

These maids of his own were all lower grade spirit roots.

It has an effect on the spiritual talent of the child born.

Now that the conditions have come up, eugenic aspects have to be taken a step further.

After all, the higher the Spiritual Roots of both parents, the better the Spiritual Roots of the child born.

After staying at Green Bamboo Mountain for ten days, Lu Changsheng was ready to return to the Red Leaf Valley Workshop.

“Boom!”

Right at this moment, a relatively dense cultivation surged into Lu Changsheng’s body out of nowhere.

He immediately knew that it was his son, Lu Xianzhi, who had broken through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Entering the fourth level of Qi Refining.

“The fourth level of Qi Refining, if you don’t count the quality of spirit energy and mana, it’s almost one percent of my current cultivation level.”

“It’s equivalent to saving me a month and a half of hard work.”

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes and experienced this cultivation strength, roughly estimating it in his heart.

“If we do the math like this, a hundred fourth level Qi Refiners would be enough to compare to one Foundation Establishment.”

“But the difference in the quality of mana allows a Foundation Establishment cultivator to easily slaughter a hundred cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining.”

Lu Changsheng gently shook his head, knowing that he couldn’t calculate it that way.

“But the middle stage of Qi Refining, at least it makes me feel a little bit.”

“Like before, when I drew qi into my body and broke through the second and third layers of qi refining, it didn’t feel like anything to me.”

“Now that I am at the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, if I want the child to have a feedback effect for me, I still have to be at the late Refining Qi stage.”

“But if you want to wait for the child to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refinement, it is estimated that it will take another ten to twenty years.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and let it out in a long exhale.

It feels like a long way to go.

After all, aside from Lu Qingshan, and his son Lu Qingxuan who had a fourth grade spiritual root before, the spiritual roots of these current children of his were really average.

There were only two Sixth Grade Medium Spiritual Roots.

All others are lower grade spiritual roots.

“But as I suspected, the child broke through the middle stage of Qi Refinement without an achievement reward.”

“This Achievement Reward in terms of cultivation, it wouldn’t have to wait until we break through Foundation Establishment to be able to trigger it again, would it?”

“If that’s the case, it’s too hard.”

When Lu Changsheng saw that there was no system beep, he secretly shook his head in his heart.

He expected this, but he still looked forward to it in a small way.

Wanted to see if the child breaking through the middle stage of Qi Refining would trigger the achievement reward.

“Xian Zhi is also fifteen or sixteen years old, and now that he has broken through the middle stage of Qi Refining, he can be put into the Red Leaf Valley Workshop to practice.”

Seeing Lu Xianzhi break through the middle stage of Qi Refining, Lu Changsheng also remembered that this son was not young.

Intend to put out to get some insight and experience.

After all, you can’t raise flowers in a greenhouse.

These kids, they could be the cornerstones of his future.

They would be needed to take care of the family when it was established in the future.

Even if the spiritual root is average, it has to be cultivated.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng walked towards Lu Xianzhi’s small courtyard.

“Father, I’ve broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refining.”

At that moment, Lu Xianzhi happened to walk out of the small courtyard with a happy face.

Seeing Lu Changsheng, he immediately said with joy.

“Not bad, much better than my father was back then.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng did not spare a word of praise.

“How dare a child compare to you, father.”

“Father you came up in the beginning by virtue of your own efforts alone, step by step.”

“If my child didn’t have the resources you spent and the environment you provided, father, where would I have been able to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining so quickly.”

Lu Xianzhi said in a hurry.

His father’s praise, even though it pleased him.

But he was very aware that everything he was doing today stood entirely on his own father’s shoulders.

Under the education of his eldest mother, the contact between the school and the children of the Lu family, he also knew that many of the children of the Lu family were not as well off as his own siblings.

His father had used all of his own cultivation resources to provide for them, his sons and daughters.

Especially since he only had a ninth-grade spirit root, he had little cultivation value, but his father still chose to treat him equally.

So for his father, Lu Xianzhi was still very worshipful and respectful inside.

“Oh, the reason for my father’s efforts is that I hope that your path will be easier and farther than my father’s.”

When Lu Changsheng heard his son’s words, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said.

Then continued, “Since you break through the middle stage of Qi refining, my father is ready to take you to the marketplace to gain insight and experience, what do you think?”

“My child is at my father’s disposal.”

Lu Xianzhi sniffed and immediately nodded his head in response.

After so many years in Green Bamboo Mountain, he naturally had a yearning for the Immortal Cultivation World and wanted to go out and have a look.

“Okay, get yourself ready.”

“Come with me to the Red Leaf Valley Workshop tomorrow.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said.

Let Lu Xianzhi go and say goodbye to his family and friends.

“Congratulations Sen no Kyo.”

“Congratulations to Seventh Brother for breaking through the middle stage of Qi Refining.”

The other children in the garden, hearing that Lu Xianzhi had broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refining and was going to be taken by Lu Changsheng to the Red Leaf Valley workshop, burst with envy and congratulations.

Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen, who were aunts, heard the news and all gave gifts to encourage them.

After all, as the first child in the family to break through the middle stage of Qi Refining, it was still a bit different and worthy of congratulations.

Lu Xianzhi also seemed to take on a few responsibilities in this situation.

He was seventh in his family though.

However, Lu Pingan and the others ahead of him were all sent to the secular world due to their lack of spiritual roots.

Therefore, he was considered the boss in Green Bamboo Mountain, and had a few responsibilities as an elder brother.

After a small celebration, the next day, Lu Changsheng rode the Iron Feather Eagle and took his son Lu Xianzhi to the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace.

He first brought Lu Xianzhi to the Lu Family Spiritual Symbol Shop and met Lu Miaogao.

Although it was said that he was prepared to place Lu Xianzhi in the Peaceful Symbol Hall.

But when people come, they have to be brought here to meet them anyhow.

He was usually away, and if Lu Xianzhi had anything to do, he could come over to Lu Miaogao.

Nowadays, in the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace, Lu Miaogao was also someone who could speak up.

“Xianzhi, you can come to auntie’s place more often in the future if you have nothing to do.”

Lu Miaogao said with a gentle face.

She was much richer than Lu Changsheng’s other concubines and gave Lu Xianzhi a magic weapon as a gift.

“Thank you, Auntie.”

Lu Xianzhi and Lu Miaogao, the aunt, had rarely seen each other and were not very close, and were a bit constrained.

After receiving the gift, he bowed respectfully.

After chatting briefly for a while, Lu Changsheng led Lu Xianzhi to the Peaceful Symbol Hall.

“Peaceful Talisman Hall, Father, is this our family store?”

Lu Xianzhi looked at the store in front of him and asked out loud.

He knew that his own father had a hundred acres of spiritual fields in addition to the Green Bamboo Mountain.

There was also a spirit talisman store and a cave mansion in the Red Leaf Valley workshop.

The reason why these siblings of theirs were able to have such favorable conditions was because of these hundred acres of spiritual fields and store cave houses.

“That’s right, this is our family’s spirit talisman store.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said, “I didn’t ask you to come here so that you could learn how to make talismans.”

“Rather, I’m asking you to come over here to get a better understanding of what it takes to take care of a store, the head of a business.”

“Aren’t you interested in puppets, you can spend some time on that now that you’ve broken through the middle stage of Qi Refining.”

“If there’s anything you don’t understand, come and ask Dad.”

“When you become a puppet master, father will open a store for you.”

Lu Changsheng said towards his son.

This son’s talent for making talismans is not good, but he has a few talents in puppetry.

It was just that he had only begun to cultivate, and Lu Changsheng didn’t let him get distracted on top of the puppet.

Now that he had broken through the middle stage of Qi Refining, Lu Changsheng was also willing to let him spend some time on this.

After all, the puppet together, was also one of the more important parts of his future, and someone had to inherit it.

“Yes, Father!”

Hearing this, Lu Xianzhi looked at the words ‘Peaceful Talisman Hall’ and pursed his lips, revealing determination in his eyes.

“Donger.”

“Donger.”

The two had just entered the store, the reception and shopkeeper Gao He immediately said respectfully.

“Xianzhi, this is your Uncle Gao.”

Lu Changsheng introduced Lu Xianzhi.

“Uncle Gao.”

Lu Xianzhi immediately shouted.

On the way over, Lu Changsheng briefly talked to him about the Spirit Talisman Shop.

Knowing that this man with a rounded face and a few moments of old age was the shopkeeper of this Spirit Talisman Shop.

“Old Gao, this is my son Lu Xianzhi.”

“I’m going to put him in the store as an apprentice, to get up to speed and learn about taking care of the store.”

“Normally, I’ll trouble you to teach him more, there’s no need to teach him in the area of talisman making.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his old friend Gao He and spoke out.

The two have known each other for more than a decade and have also been proprietors and employees for six years.

However, since Lu Changsheng had always been a shirker and Gao He usually took care of the store without any problems, the personal relationship was maintained quite well.

“OK, no problem.”

When Gao He heard that it was the Young Master, he immediately responded with a smile.

It is very common to see this kind of thing where the children of the family are put in stores to study.

As long as Lu Xianzhi wasn’t the nasty nature of a great young master, he naturally wouldn’t have a problem with it.

Moreover, he had been a shopkeeper for so many years and had a few eyes, and could see that Lu Xianzhi did not look like a stubborn person.

After settling Lu Xianzhi down, Lu Changsheng left and headed to the cave area to check on Xiao Xiyue’s condition.

After all, according to the time, this month, Xiao Xi Yue was going to give birth.

Wanting the child in Xiao Xi Yue’s womb to be born soon, Lu Changsheng inevitably had a few moments of anticipation.

However, after waiting for a month, the child in Xiao Xi Yue’s abdomen was not born as expected.

Instead of worrying about this situation, Lu Changsheng revealed a look of surprise.

This is because usually children born late are either problematic or born with a godly nature and have a good quality of spiritual roots.

He and Xiao Xiyue were both Foundation Establishment cultivators, so they were naturally able to detect the general condition of the child, and there was not a single problem in terms of vitality.

So the odds are that it has a good spirit root quality, or even a spirit body.

Just like this, Lu Changsheng meditated and looked forward to the birth of this child.

Before the child was born, seven days later, a faint stream of air accompanied by a system beep sounded.

【Congratulations to the host’s five heirs for completing the process of drawing qi into the body and stepping into the path of immortality, obtaining the passive effect: the probability of the heir’s spiritual root is increased by 5%, and obtaining a chance to draw a lottery prize once!

“Hmm? Five… Kagome’s finished channeling her chi into her body.”

Lu Changsheng knew through this flow of qi and the system beep that it was his fifth child with a spiritual root, Lu Kexin, who had finished drawing qi into his body.

For this he was not surprised.

After all, counting the time, Lu Kexin should have finished drawing Qi into her body long ago.

It was only finished now, slower than even Lu Xianzhi and the others before.

It’s just slightly surprising that five kids triggered the achievement draw.

He thought it had to be ten.

“But this boost is good, at this rate, wouldn’t it be true that in the future, all of my heirs will basically have Spirit Roots.”

Lu Changsheng watched as the probability of the heir’s spiritual root increased, nodding slightly in delight.

After all, children are his foundation.

“System, draw.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly and started the lottery.

A light red virtual lottery disk surfaced, and then the lottery quickly began.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the gongfu “Nine Nine Xuan Fu Jing”!

[Reward has been issued to the system space, the host can check at any time]

The pattern of a crystalline jade booklet emerged, accompanied by a system beep.

“Nine Nine Xuan Fu Scriptures?”

“Rune Dao Inheritance?”

When Lu Changsheng saw this gongfu, he raised his eyebrows slightly and developed a few interests.

The Immortal Cultivation World has the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.

Each art is so profound that it is capable of diffusing a line.

Although he had a second-order, full-grade talisman-making skill.

But it is only the skill of simple various talismans.

There wasn’t a too arcane Rune Dao inheritance.

Or rather, the inheritance of this profound skill was not only rare, but the threshold of cultivation was also extremely high.

In addition to having certain requirements in terms of spiritual roots, they also have requirements in other areas.

For example, the three great Immortal Sects of the Jiang Country, the Royal Spirit Sect, which was on par with the Green Cloud Sect.

The clan was known for its ‘Imperial Beasts’.

However, this kind of clan not only looked at the spirit root talent, but also the fit between the person and the spirit beast.

In the Immortal Sect Examination, even if you are a lower grade spirit root, but you are naturally affinity and fit with certain spirit beasts, you will be admitted into the sect.

“I remember that the Jiang Kingdom doesn’t have a Rune Dao heritage clan.”

“On the contrary, the Yue Country next door has a sect called the ‘Beast Rune Sect’.”

“Known for its talismanic path, its town school technique, the Beast Talisman Scripture, is capable of combining demonic beasts and talismans with astonishing power.”

Lu Changsheng secretly said in his heart.

The Southern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World was huge, and the Jiang Kingdom was just a corner.

Through some handwritten journals and travelogues, Lu Changsheng knew that the Jiang Kingdom could only be considered a medium-sized country, and that there were many other countries out there.

Each country will have a different heritage, a clan.

Like the Jiang Country although it had a beast-robbing sect like the Royal Spirit Sect.

But it was because of the dominating sect of the Jiang Country, the Heavenly Sword Sect.

It made the cultivation worlds of other countries, when they talked about the cultivation world of the Jiang Country, the first thing they thought of was sword cultivators.

Lu Changsheng didn’t think much about it and looked into the system space to check the status of the feats he had drawn.

[Technique: The Nine Nine Mysterious Symbols Sutra]

[Grade: Authentic]

[Description: Xuan Fu Sect’s town school technique, containing 9981 kinds of special spiritual patterns, observing talismans to nourish the spirit, cultivation success, can draw talismans in the void, refining talismans into arrays, sacrificing talisman soldiers, the great method of the subtle, powerful and infinite.]

“Drawing talismans in the void, refining talismans into formations, and sacrificing talisman soldiers!”

“Hiss, it’s worthy of being an authentic level technique.”

“And it looks like this Nine Nine Xuan Rune Scripture doesn’t just contain the Rune Dao inheritance, but also the root technique for cultivation.”

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised as he looked at the description introduction about the Nine Nine Xuan Fu Scriptures in front of him.

From the description, it was clear that this Nine Nine Xuan Fu Scripture was not simple.

“System, Heritage!”

Immediately, his mind moved slightly to use this Nine Nine Xuan Rune Scripture.

Immediately.

Regarding the cultivation method of the Nine-Nine Xuan Fu Scripture, the relevant contents, all the essentials, etc., all of them were like an enlightenment, quickly surging into Lu Changsheng’s mind.

Lu Changsheng stood still, immersing his mind to comprehend this Authentic Grade Rune Dao Inheritance Technique.
