Chapter 61: The father of thirty children breaks through the Qi Refining Fourth Stages!

Peach Blossom Gu fed on fortune and thrived on the flourishing of romantic opportunities around its host.As the host’s romantic fortune increased, the Peach Blossom Gu grew faster.

Each transformation of the Peach Blossom Gu would enhance the host’s romantic fortune even further.

However, the growth and transformation of the Peach Blossom Gu would be limited by the cultivation level of its master.

If the master had not reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the Peach Blossom Gu would not be able to advance to the Second Transformation, regardless of how much romantic fortune it absorbed.

Currently, the Peach Blossom Gu had three effects.

The first two effects were as previously described by the system.

They subtly improved the host’s physique, making their skin radiant and their aura exceptional, thus increasing their attractiveness to the opposite sex.

At the same time, it enhanced the host’s romantic fortune, though this effect was intangible and could not be directly observed.

The third effect of the Peach Blossom Gu was an active one.

By activating the Peach Blossom Gu, it could release a fragrance known as the “Five Elements Peach Blossom Mist.” This fragrance had a bewitching effect on both humans and animals, influencing them in various ways depending on the strength of the Gu Insect.

As the Peach Blossom Gu was currently at the First Transformation stage, the potency of this Five Elements Peach Blossom Mist was roughly equivalent to the Qi Refining stage.

“This Peach Blossom Gu seems like something a philanderer would use, isn’t it?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head.

“Otherwise, where would a decent person find such a Gu to refine? It’s about shaping an attractive appearance, boosting romantic fortune, and resorting to such underhanded tactics…”

Having understood the effects of the Peach Blossom Gu, Lu Changsheng didn’t pay much heed to its questionable nature.

After all, the morality of an object depended on its user.

As an upright gentleman, even if the Peach Blossom Gu was not entirely proper, Lu Changsheng would ensure it was used for noble purposes.

Lu Changsheng retracted the Peach Blossom Gu, which flew directly to the middle of his forehead, forming a pink peach blossom petal imprint between his eyebrows.

Over the next period of time, this Peach Blossom Gu would subtly improve his physical condition and, in a mysterious way, enhance his romantic fortune.

Lu Changsheng gently touched the peach blossom imprint on his forehead, and with a slight mental command, the imprint immediately dimmed and disappeared, hidden from view.

When not actively using the Peach Blossom Gu, the peach blossom imprint could remain concealed, ensuring that he didn’t appear peculiar with a peach blossom mark on his forehead like some sort of effeminate man.

“I haven’t been able to go out in Qingzhu Mountain all day. I wonder if this good luck will have any effect?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think of the young lady, feeling a bit hopeful.

Exiting the training room, he noticed that night had fallen.

Lu Changsheng went to a secluded courtyard and called for Jiuer and Shuier, his two favored concubines, to his room, where they began their endeavors.

He had been focusing on taking care of these two women, but neither had conceived yet.

However, Lu Changsheng wasn’t overly concerned. He believed that with more effort, there would eventually be results.

Sure enough, six days later, Lu Changsheng discovered that Shuier had successfully become pregnant.

Then, with his relentless efforts, a month later, Jiuer also successfully conceived.

Including the children in the wombs of these two concubines, Lu Changsheng’s total number of children reached thirty. Sᴇaʀᴄh the NovᴇlFɪre .ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Recently, his twenty-fourth child was born. That meant there were six more children to be born before system might reward him with bonus points.

Lu Changsheng still held high expectations for the rewards from the system.

Lu Changsheng sighed, realizing that at this stage, he couldn’t rely on having more children and could only depend on the system to lend him a hand.

…

Another month passed in the blink of an eye.

It had been over two months since he had refined the Peach Blossom Gu.

Initially, Lu Changsheng had high hopes for the Peach Blossom Gu.

However, after these two months had passed, he felt no change in himself and no sign of the so-called romantic fortune.

His anticipation gradually faded, and he stopped paying much attention to the Peach Blossom Gu.

After all, he was already quite handsome, and any enhancement from the Peach Blossom Gu would be like icing on the cake.

As for romantic fortune, it was such a mysterious thing that he didn’t have much expectation for it.

One day, while meditating in the training room, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a tremor.

The bottleneck he had been facing at Third Stage of Qi Refining for a year seemed to loosen slightly.

The Elders had previously guided him in his cultivation, and he knew that this sensation indicated an opportunity to break through to the Fourth Stage of Qi Refining.

Without hesitation, he took out a Yellow Dragon Pill and swallowed it, then held several spirit stones in his hand, closed his eyes, and focused his mind, rapidly circulating his spiritual energy.

The pill dissolved in his body and rapidly consumed, while the spiritual energy from the spirit stones surged into his body, accelerating the rotation of his spiritual power.

After a while, there was a loud boom.

Lu Changsheng’s body shook violently, and dirt oozed out of his pores, making him feel as if he were floating.

The spiritual energy in his dantian and sea of ​​qi was no longer separate but intermingled like streams.

“Fourth Stage of Qi Refining Stage, spiritual energy is like a stream and purifies the body of impurities! I’ve finally broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refining!”

Lu Changsheng exclaimed with joy, feeling the smoothly flowing spiritual power in his body.

It had taken him a year to reach the pinnacle of Third Stage of Qi Refining, and now, after much effort, he had finally broken through.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel that if his Spirit Root hadn’t advanced from Ninth Grade to Eighth Grade over two months ago, he might have been stuck for even longer.

“No wonder Hong Yi has been stuck at Third Stage Of Qi Refining for three or four years without breaking through to Stage Four,”

Lu Changsheng realized, understanding why Hong Yi had remained at this stage for so long.

Lu Changsheng also understood that while he enjoyed the benefits of the second-tier Spirit Vain in Qingzhu Valley and consumed high-quality spiritual food and drinks, Hong Yi, despite having an Eighth Grade Spirit Root, faced more difficulties in breaking through due to the scarcity of spiritual energy and limited resources in the mundane world, coupled with his busy schedule.

This comparison also made him think of Xiao Xiyue, who had broken through to the Third Satge of Qi Refining during the three-year agreement.

Reflecting on it now, it was truly terrifying how powerful a Fourth Grade Spirit Root was.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but imagine how much more formidable it would be with a higher-grade Spirit Root, or even the legendary Earth or Heaven Spirit Roots.

Without dwelling too much on these thoughts, Lu Changsheng stood up and performed a cleansing technique to remove the impurities and dirt expelled from his body during the breakthrough. Then, with excitement, he walked out of the training room.

It was winter, and snowflakes were gently falling outside, covering the ground in a blanket of white.

Despite the cold, Lu Changsheng only felt a momentary chill when he opened the door, as the spiritual energy within him and the magic robe he wore immediately dispelled the cold.

“It’s been five years since I came to the Lu Family,”

Lu Changsheng mused as he looked at the snow-covered bamboo trees.

Thinking back to how he had awakened his memories of his past life on the Heart Questioning Platform, been eliminated from the Blue Cloud Sect’s assessment, and chosen to become a son-in-law of the Lu Family, he realized how far he had come.

In five years, he had transformed from an ordinary person to a cultivator at Fourth Stage of Qi Refining and had risen from being a “seeded” son-in-law to a respected member of the Lu Family, marrying the granddaughter of an elder.

With a content smile, Lu Changsheng walked into the courtyard, where several children were playing in the snow, a testament to his efforts over the past five years.
