Chapter 345: Chapter 156: The Number One Talisman Path Practitioner of the Lu Family, Crafting the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp!_1

“`

Qingyun Sect.

Sutra Pavilion.

“Xiao Xiyue, are you sure you want to choose such a technique?”

The Guardian Elder looked at the three techniques Xiao Xiyue had chosen. Upon seeing one of them, a strange expression crossed his face.

“Mastering one spell can help understand all spells. The cultivation technique I practice requires comprehension of various techniques, so I choose this one.”

Xiao Xiyue’s demeanor was cool and holy, her expression calm as she made a slight bow and spoke.

“Since you’ve made up your mind, Xiao Xiyue, this old man naturally won’t say more.”

“However, you should be aware of our Qingyun Sect’s rules. You must swear an oath to the Heart Demon that no cultivation techniques shall be leaked.”

The Guardian Elder, seeing Xiao Xiyue’s disposition, spoke no further, merely nodding slightly.

“Thank you, Elder.”

Xiao Xiyue nodded, took the Heart Demon oath to keep the cultivation techniques confidential, and then left promptly.

…

“It seems that Foundation Establishment does have a significant impact on childbearing.”

Lu Changsheng had returned to Qingzhu Mountain for over a month now.

In this past month, he had hardly practiced cultivation.

Apart from making talismans, he had spent all his time on trivial matters with his wives and children and on childbearing efforts.

Yet despite trying hard for a month, only three concubines became pregnant.

He realized that this must be due to his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

As cultivators enhance their cultivation level, each breakthrough in a major realm makes it more difficult to sire offspring, a common sense in the cultivation world.

“However, the higher the cultivation level of the parents, the higher their strength, and the higher the probability that the children born will possess Spiritual Roots and of better quality.”

“Now that I’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment, plus the system’s boost of a 5% probability for Spiritual Roots, the probability and quality of my children’s Spiritual Roots should also significantly improve.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Although he had been diligently engaged in childbearing this month, he also adhered to the principle of optimal breeding.

All three children were conceived by concubines with Spiritual Roots.

Therefore, there was a reasonable probability that the children too would possess Spiritual Roots.

“If Xi Yue and I were to have a child, it should be of good aptitude, I reckon.”

At that moment, Lu Changsheng thought of Xiao Xiyue.

She not only possessed a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root and a Moonlight Spirit Body, but she was also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

If the two were to have offspring, it would most likely result in a child with Spiritual Roots, and one of commendable aptitude.

Yet he also knew that having a child with Xiao Xiyue at this point would be quite difficult.

Childbearing would delay several years of cultivation, and her master was unlikely to agree.

“Husband, grandmother has come over. It seems she has something to discuss with you.”

Lu Miaoyun came to the backyard at that moment, informing Lu Changsheng.

“Something to discuss with me?”

Surprised by the news, Lu Changsheng followed Lu Miaoyun to the main hall.

In the hall, the Fourth Elder was sipping tea.

The elderly person was now ninety years old.

The once plump and aged face had aged considerably.

The now completely white hair had once shown mere streaks of gray.

“Grandmother.”

Lu Changsheng immediately greeted her with a bow.

“Changsheng.”

The Fourth Elder nodded approvingly, her face wearing a loving smile.

After chatting about family matters for a while, she disclosed her purpose for visiting.

She indicated that she was getting older and was preparing to step down from her position as Family Elder.

Therefore, she was preparing to recommend Lu Changsheng for the position of the Elder within the family.

At the same time, she hoped Lu Changsheng would instruct the Lu Family’s youth in Talisman Making when he had the time.

“Taking the position of Elder, instructing the Lu Family Disciples in Talisman Making…”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment.

If given the choice, he would definitely not want to take on this responsibility.

Because right now, he truly was very busy.

He needed to make talismans, refine the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi, pay attention to his children, engage in childbearing, and cultivate himself.

In the past month since his return, he had devoted almost all his time and thoughts to his wives and children and had barely practiced cultivation.

He hadn’t even managed to cultivate the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp Technique to this day.

Taking on the role of Elder would consume even more of his time and energy.

However, the Fourth Elder’s plea was earnest, making it hard for him to refuse outright.

After all, the elderly deserved to retire and enjoy her remaining years.

Additionally, in the Lu Family, being a cultivation family, the Elder usually was someone from within the family ranks.

“Changsheng, instructing the disciples in Talisman Making is mainly about giving lectures to enlighten them and to see if they have any talent for the Talisman Path.”

“If they have talent, it would be just like when grandmother taught you and Sister Miaoge, it won’t take too much time…”

The Fourth Elder saw Lu Changsheng’s hesitation and continued speaking.

Her tone was gentle and loving, with a hint of hope and plea in her eyes.

“Grandmother, instructing in Talisman Making is naturally no problem.”

“As for the position of Elder, please give it to Miaoge. As you know, I have no great ambitions and don’t like dealing with affairs normally.”

Lu Changsheng met the elder’s gaze and spoke.

Since the elder had put it that way, he felt he couldn’t outright refuse.

Taking just a bit of time to lecture and share knowledge of the Talisman Path with the Lu Family Disciples wasn’t too demanding.

He considered it a way of contributing a bit more to the Lu Family.

Besides, it wasn’t something he could easily shrug off.

Lu Changsheng knew very well that if he declined, the duty would ultimately fall on his wife, Lu Miaoge.

He hoped for Lu Miaoge to have fewer worries and to focus more on her own cultivation.

Given that, he might as well accept on her behalf.

Moreover, he was accustomed to providing such enlightenment to his own children, so it amounted to teaching a few more.

“Changsheng, this position of Elder is not only grandmother’s wish but also the intent of the Family Head and the other family elders.”

“Moreover, this Elder position is really just a title and doesn’t come with many duties. Miaoge will have other arrangements in the family in the future.”

The Fourth Elder patted Lu Changsheng’s hand and whispered softly.
