    Chapter 38 The Second Spiritual Root Child!

    Time passes like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, half a year passes.

    During these six months, Lu Changsheng’s fifteenth and sixteenth children were born.

    None of them had spirit roots, which made Lu Changsheng even more excited about the child in Qu Zhenzhen’s belly.

    And at the same time, with Lu Changsheng’s half year’s efforts, he also had five more concubines conceived.

    Except for Qu Zhenzhen, who is still on her first child, the previous three wives and six concubines have all had their second child.

    Sisters like Lu Zi’er, Lu Qing’er, have already started their third child.

    This day.

    Lu Changsheng finished his daily meditation and cultivation in the practice room, and then came to the study to start drawing talismans.

    These two things have become his daily routine.

    Now that he was at the third level of Qi Refinement, a medium-grade talisman was no longer any more difficult for Lu Changsheng.

    Drawing success as you go along.

    As for the top grade talismans, because of the limited mana and mind, coupled with the poor quality of the talisman brush, and the average quality of the talisman paper and spirit ink, there was still a fair amount of difficulty.

    One could only spell failure and forcefully draw some relatively simple top-grade talismans.

    Therefore, only a small portion of the high-grade talisman paper and high-grade spirit ink that he had previously purchased at Ox Head Mountain had been drawn into talismans to be used in case of accidents.

    The other materials were intended to wait for further cultivation, buy a good talisman brush, and then draw them into talismans.

    Anyway, there is no way to take it to sell now that it is drawn into a talisman, just enough for your own emergency.

    After drawing two medium-grade talismans, Lu Changsheng put down his talisman brush and prepared to go find his wife and concubines to relax.

    Just as he stepped out of the study, an underling handed over a letter.

    It’s a letter from Hong Yi.

    In the letter, he talked about some old times, saying that he had performed well during this period of time, and that his father, Marquis Ruyi, had handed over some affairs of his family to him.

    Then he inquired about Lu Changsheng’s recent situation.

    This was not the first time Lu Changsheng had received a letter from Hong Yi.

    It was his third letter back to Green Bamboo Mountain, and Lu Changsheng naturally knew why Hong Yi was like this.

    “Now that I have extra talismans to take and sell, even if the Lu family knows about it, they won’t be blamed.”

    Lu Changsheng secretly said in his heart.

    He had not been selling talismans to Hong Yi before for a simple reason.

    He was worried that the matter of him trading talismans with Hong Yi in private would be learned by the Lu Family.

    If the Lu family learned of this and saw that he had a large number of talismans for sale, it would not be good.

    But after all this time, it had been more than a year since he had become an Entry Grade Talisman Master, and with the proficiency he usually displayed, it was only normal to have some talismans that were superfluous and take them out to sell.

    Immediately, he replied in the letter that he did have some talismans for sale, and that Hong Yi could sell them if he needed them.

    Inquired how it would work if you traded.

    He naturally couldn’t leave the Green Bamboo Mountain or something just to sell a talisman, so he let Hong Yi figure it out.

    After writing the letter, Lu Changsheng handed it to a slave to take it to the post station and mail it.

    In the Lu family, there is a stage that sends letters to the world, but it’s just a bit slower.

    It was estimated that it would take a month, if not longer, for a letter like this to reach Hong Yi.

    If there was a real emergency, one could only use a messenger-type talisman.

    Afterwards, Lu Changsheng went to the backyard to accompany his wife and children.

    That’s half of his daily routine.

    Seeing Qu Zhenzhen’s big belly, Lu Changsheng also remembered her brother’s matter.

    Another trip to the Green Bamboo Villa, asking Li Feiyu, Red Whale Gang side, there is no news of Qu Zhenzhen’s brother, Qu Changge.

    However, Li Fei Yu said that there hadn’t been any news related to Qu Changge on the Red Whale Gang’s side.

    It had been more than half a year, and there was still no news of Qu Zhenzhen’s brother, Qu Changge, causing Lu Changsheng to even think that this cheap great-uncle of his had met with some kind of accident.

    After all, according to what Qu Zhenzhen said, her brother was just an ordinary scholar.

    This all the way to the capital to catch the examination, there are 10,000 miles of travel, if the road encountered a little danger, directly accounted for is not unlikely.

    Lu Changsheng planned in his heart that if there was no news after a while, he would ask Hong Yi’s side to help investigate as well.

    The Red Whale Gang was, after all, only a jianghu gang, and its power was limited once it was out of Tianshui Province.

    And in the meantime.

    At the border of the Jiang Kingdom’s Qingzhou and Jizhou, a cliff face with steep mountains and jagged rocks.

    The cliffs are surrounded by a heavy mist and fog, making it difficult to see the opposite side, and the valley between the cliffs, under the mist and fog, is so deep that people can’t help but feel palpitations when they get close enough to take a look.

    At this moment, within the endless, bottomless valley.

    “Hoo hoo hoo–“

    “Wooooooooo–“

    Gray mist filled the air, and a gloomy wind howled like a ghost crying.

    However, at the center of the valley, there was a blood-colored lake that was about ten pings large.

    Around the lake, tired white bones piled up in a creepy manner, and this blood-colored lake was even more so.

    The blood water was deep and gloomy, filled with an indescribable evil, demonic nature, ‘gurgling and bubbling’ with blood.

    Each blood bubble ruptured, accompanied by an eerie whistling sound if nothing else.

    In this blood lake, there was also a large cocoon that was as thin as a cicada’s wing, glowing like a crystal blood light.

    Cocoon in the blood lake ups and downs, as if still breathing, flooded with blood-colored light a bright dark, soul-stirring, not weird.

    If one looked closely, one could vaguely tell that wrapped inside the blood cocoon was a man.

    At this moment, the man seemed to be about to open his eyes, but the next moment, a blood-colored lotus flower like a half-moon appeared in the center of his eyebrow, causing his eyes that were just about to open to close tightly again and fall into a deep sleep.

    Three months later.

    “Peak of the third level of Qi Refining!”

    “But this wants to break through the fourth level of Qi Refining, I don’t know how long I’ll have to grind.”

    Inside the practice room, Lu Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, lightly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and muttered under his breath.

    It took one year and four months to break through from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level of Qi Refining.

    Lu Changsheng had cultivated to the peak of the third level of Qi Refining.

    But this time, he could clearly feel that the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining was different from before.

    There is a layer of bottlenecks.

    There’s no way to break through unimpeded, and it’s going to take a long time to get through the water.

    Lu Changsheng didn’t care too much.

    After all, this spicy chicken qualification of his own, to be able to have this speed and cultivate to the peak of the third layer of Qi Refining so quickly, was already very okay.

    He is very clear about his position.

    The big guns come late!

    It’ll be fine when the kids are more and older.

    “Makoto’s about to give birth, too.”

    Lu Changsheng got up, patted his non-existent dusty robes, and walked out of the practice room.

    Eleven days later.

    Qu Zhen Zhen was born.

    In the instant the child was born, Lu Changsheng, who was outside the maternity ward, immediately developed a mysterious feeling.

    It’s the throbbing of the spiritual roots.

    Knowing that this child of his possesses spiritual roots.

    This made Lu Changsheng excited and thrilled.

    It felt like I hadn’t been looking forward to it for most of the year for nothing.

    “It’s true that you still have to have a baby with a woman who possesses a spiritual root.”

    “Otherwise, the probability of giving birth to a child with a spiritual root is too low just because I unilaterally possess a spiritual root.”

    “Before, Xiao Qi possessing a spiritual root was purely a stroke of luck.”

    Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, very happy and excited.

    This caused a few concubines on the side to slightly develop a bit of jealousy when they saw Lu Changsheng in this posture.

    Even if they were virtuous and gentle in nature, they felt that Lu Changsheng somewhat favored Qu Zhenzhen.

    Not only did he show more concern for Qu Zhenzhen on weekdays, but now that the child was born, the whole person was also much happier than before when the child was born.

    But they know why.

    Qu Zhenzhen possessed spiritual roots and was able to cultivate immortality, and the child born with Lu Changsheng would also have a high probability of possessing spiritual roots.

    Naturally, it made Lu Changsheng a little more favorable.

    “When Seven was born earlier, the system came with a share of the money.”

    “If I have ten spirit rooted children, the system should come along for the ride.”

    Lu Changsheng didn’t notice his wife’s and concubine’s expressions and was immersed in the joy of this child’s birth.

    Previously, when Xiao Qi Lu Xian Zhi was born, a reward was given for the first birth of a spirit root heir, making him guess that it should also be the same as the number of heirs, and that a reward would be given for reaching a certain number.

    Within a short time, the laboring woman walked out of the delivery room with the baby in her arms.

    It’s a baby boy.

    Lu Changsheng walked into the maternity ward with this child in his arms to visit Qu Zhenzhen.

    Although Qu Zhenzhen had cultivated immortality, she got pregnant not long after she was exposed to cultivation.

    That’s why so far, he hadn’t finished drawing qi into his body, and his body was still very weak.

    Moreover, the first few layers of qi cultivation did not do much to improve physical fitness.

    Seeing the weak Qu Zhenzhen, Lu Changsheng coaxed her to sleep and then handed the baby over to the nurse, went to the practice room, and began to cultivate.

    It couldn’t be helped that he couldn’t see the child’s spiritual roots, nor could he see the changes in his own spiritual roots in detail.

    One could only cultivate this simple and plain way, thus judging how much one’s spiritual root had improved, and then estimating the grade of the child’s spiritual root.
