Chapter 82: The Cultivation of the Fairy!

On the towering peaks adorned with towering cypresses and green pines, and flowing waterfalls and streams, palace after palace stood.In the magnificent palace atop the peak, there was emptiness except for a graceful woman in colorful robes, standing elegantly.

“Master.”

At this moment, a graceful and beautiful woman in white, with a graceful figure, drifted into the grand hall.

Looking at the woman in colorful robes in the hall, her beautiful eyes sparkled. She gracefully bowed and spoke with a sweet and gentle voice.

“Xiyue, you’re here.”

Seeing her disciple, Yun Wanshang turned around, revealing a hint of smile on her stunning face.

She looked at Xiao Xiyue and said with a slightly stern voice, “Xiyue, I’ve gathered the ingredients for refining the Red Dust Pill, but I still want to ask you again, have you really made up your mind?”

“With your fourth-grade Spirit Root and the Moonlight Spirit Body, even if you don’t cultivate the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, you still have a chance to form a core in the future.”

Yun Wanshang said so.

Her trip to obtain Purple Spirit Liquid was for her disciple’s cultivation and to refine a pill.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue lightly pursed her lips. On her dazzling face, she showed a serious expression.

Then she looked at Yun Wanshang with determination, cupped her hands, and said, “Master, Xiyue has made up her mind and won’t regret it!”

“Sigh.”

Looking at Xiao Xiyue’s serious expression, Yun Wanshang sighed slightly in her heart.

She wondered if it was right or wrong to mention the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique to this disciple.

This Supreme Forgetfulness Technique was a technique she had obtained in a secret realm.

Although powerful, it also had obvious side effects.

After cultivation, it would gradually make people indifferent, unaffected by emotions.

Usually, Xiao Xiyue was lively and clever, which Yun Wanshang liked, but if she cultivated the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, she might become a different person.

However, Yun Wanshang didn’t persuade her either.

She nodded slightly and said, “Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll ask Senior Yun to refine the Red Dust Pill for you.”

She also understood that with Xiao Xiyue’s talent and aptitude, although there was hope for core formation, it was only hope.

But if she could cultivate the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, it wouldn’t just be a matter of hoping to form a core.

As long as she didn’t die prematurely, she would definitely be able to form a core.

She might even have a chance to go further.

This was also the reason why she gave Xiao Xiyue the choice to cultivate this Supreme Forgetfulness Technique.

The sky was a clear blue, stretching for thousands of miles.

A steel-feathered eagle with jet-black feathers soared through the sky.

“With this delay of three or four days, I wonder if I’ll make it in time?” 

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the steel-feathered eagle, and his mind was preoccupied with the impending birth of Lu Miaoyun.

According to his original calculations, returning home early would ensure he could make it for the birth of Lu Miaoyun’s child.

But the ambush on the way and the three days and nights spent in the cave had delayed him.

Now, he had no idea if Lu Miaoyun had given birth yet.

Just then, suddenly,

Lu Changsheng felt a mysterious palpitation throughout his body.

He was very familiar with it.

It was the palpitation of a Spirit Root!

Lu Changsheng suddenly looked into the distance, towards Qingzhu Mountain, and his face was filled with joy and excitement.

At this moment, he seemed to hear the distant cry of a baby.

“My child. My child is born.”

This mysterious palpitation made Lu Changsheng feel as if his bloodline was connected.

He knew that Lu Miaoyun had given birth, and his own child was born.

And, this child didn’t let him down.

It possessed a Spirit Root!

“The palpitation brought by this Spirit Root seems to be stronger than the previous two times.”

Lu Changsheng experienced the fleeting palpitation of the Spirit Root.

With three children possessing Spirit Roots, and after experiencing three promotions, Lu Changsheng could also feel the subtle differences during the Spirit Root advancement.

He was fairly certain about the Spirit Roots of the first three children.

One ninth-grade Spirit Root, two eighth-grade Spirit Roots.

Now, this child most likely had a seventh-grade Spirit Root.

Just like Lu Miaoyun’s Spirit Root!

“Phew!”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng let out a long breath, gazing in the direction of Qingzhu Mountain, and he returned home like an arrow.

Half a day later.

A steel-feathered eagle landed outside Qingzhu Mountain.

Lu Changsheng recalled the steel-feathered eagle into his spiritual pet bag, took out his identity token, and after entering the valley, transformed into a blur, rushing towards home.

“Husband!”

“Husband!”

“Daddy, daddy!”

“Daddy’s back!!!”

When Lu Changsheng entered the estate, several women in the courtyard, along with playing children, showed joy upon seeing him and called out to Lu Changsheng.

“Husband, Sister Yun’er has just given birth today, it’s a boy.”

One of the wives stepped forward and said to Lu Changsheng.

“Good, I’ll go see Yun’er.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and quickly walked to a courtyard.

In the courtyard, Lu Miaoyun was holding a swaddled baby and her face was radiating a maternal glow.

Qu Zhenzhen and several other wives were beside her, watching the child and chatting with her.

“Husband!”

The women saw Lu Changsheng return and were also very surprised.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, then turned to Lu Miaoyun and said, “Yun’er, sorry, I encountered a little accident on the way, so I’m late.”

He had promised Lu Miaoyun that he would come back before the baby was born.

Although the plan was to make it in time, he was half a day late due to the unexpected incident, which made him feel somewhat apologetic.

“It’s okay, husband.”

Lu Miaoyun had just given birth and was still a little weak, so her face was slightly pale.

She looked at Lu Changsheng with concern and asked, “Husband, what happened on the way, was there any danger?”

“It was just encountering a few small bandit cultivators, but I had protective talismans given by the grandmother, so there was no real danger.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and said.

“Bandit cultivators!?”

Lu Miaoyun and the other women were shocked to hear this, showing expressions of fear.

They naturally knew that the cultivation world was very dangerous.

There were many cultivators who bullied the weak, robbed, and killed for treasures.

These cultivators were called bandit cultivators.

These cultivators who became bandits also had certain strengths and methods.

They hadn’t expected their husband to encounter bandit cultivators on his way back.

They also knew that their husband’s cultivation level was not high.

He had just broken through the Fourth Stage of Qi Refining not long ago, and hadn’t experienced any intense battles.

“Husband, it’s too dangerous for you to travel back and forth every month like this.”

“It’s fine with Sister Miaoge around, but in the future, if you’re alone, you might encounter danger.”

“Why don’t you tell Grandma and stop coming home every month, or wait until Second Grandpa comes home, and then you can come back with him.”

Lu Miaoyun said with a worried expression on her face.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng felt a warmth in his heart.

He had also thought about this matter himself.

He was thinking about bringing Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and a few other girls to Jiulong Market.

Otherwise, running back and forth every month might lead to danger.

Although he now has the cultivation of Sixth Stage of Qi Refining and can draw some high-quality talismans to defend against ordinary cultivators, what if he encounters a Foundation Building cultivator?

And what if he encounters such unexpected situations again?

What if romantic luck becomes a romantic disaster?

So, for safety’s sake, Lu Changsheng decided to try to avoid traveling back and forth.

Just stay safe in Jiulong Market.

“Let’s talk about this later. Let me see our child.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and planned to talk to the Fourth Elder about this matter later.

Then he looked at the child in Lu Miaoyun’s arms.

Because both he and Lu Miaoyun were cultivators, this child was obviously much cuter.

With two round eyes and smooth fair skin, not red or wrinkled.

Holding the child in his hands, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile.

He could clearly feel that he would love this child more.

“As expected, it’s impossible to treat everyone equally. There will always be favoritism.”

Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.

He had known for a long time that when there were many children, he couldn’t treat them all the same.

It was fine with just Lu Ping’an, Lu Wuyou, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Xile, these few children at the beginning.

But as the children gradually increased, apart from a few who usually pleased him, he would obviously favor those with Spirit Roots.

“Husband, why don’t you give this child a name?”

At this moment, Lu Miaoyun looked at Lu Changsheng, who was holding the child with a happy face, and said softly.

“A name?”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and smiled, “Let’s call him Lu Yun.”

“Cloud signifies ambition, broad-mindedness, and a promising future, and it sounds similar to your ‘Yun’.”

With so many children now, naming them was difficult.

So Lu Changsheng was relatively casual about naming the child.

“Lu Yun.”

When Lu Miaoyun heard this name, a hint of excitement appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she looked at Lu Changsheng with tenderness.

Then she smiled at the child in the swaddle, “From now on, you’ll be called Lu Yun, Yun’er.”

“In the future, not only will my husband have a big Yun’er, but also a little Yun’er.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NovᴇlFɪre .ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

A nearby concubine teased.

“What little Yun’er and big Yun’er? In my heart, there’s only one Yun’er.”

Lu Changsheng immediately said as he embraced Lu Miaoyun beside him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoyun instantly showed a shy expression, leaning sweetly in Lu Changsheng’s embrace, causing the concubines nearby to giggle with envy.

In this way, Lu Changsheng stayed with Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and the other concubines.

It wasn’t until the next day that he had free time.

He went to the study room and began to meditate and cultivate.

He wanted to see how much his cultivation speed had increased with the addition of his son’s Spirit Root.

After an hour of cultivation,

Lu Changsheng could sense that his cultivation speed had increased by almost twenty percent.

This also confirmed to him that his son’s Spirit Root was of the seventh grade!

“The cultivation speed of a seventh-grade Spirit Root is almost thirty percent faster than that of an eighth-grade Spirit Root, and it’s easier to break through bottlenecks!”

“As long as this child grows up a bit and his Spirit Root matures, my Spirit Root will also advance to the seventh grade!”

“If the child in Zhenzhen’s womb, which is due in next month, also has a Spirit Root, maybe my Spirit Root can directly advance to the seventh grade!”

“By then, it will be much simpler for me to break through the bottleneck from the sixth stage of Qi Refining to the seventh stage. Otherwise, who knows how long it will take for me to break through from the mid-stage to the late stage of Qi Refining.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes flickered with anticipation.

Just now, he had cultivated for an hour, but there was almost no movement in his Dantian.

He couldn’t help but sigh at the difficulty of breaking through from the mid-stage to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Thinking back to when he broke through from the third stage of Qi Refining to the fourth stage, it took him more than a year.

The bottleneck from the mid-stage to the late stage of Qi Refining would only be more difficult, probably taking three to five years.

But Lu Changsheng was already very satisfied.

If it weren’t for this wave of peach blossom luck, he wouldn’t even know how long it would take to break through from the fourth stage of Qi Refining to the sixth stage.

Even experiencing it just now, breaking through from the fourth stage of Qi Refining to the sixth stage in three days, made Lu Changsheng feel a bit reluctant to work hard.

He longed for the wonderful three days and nights.

“If I could have continued for ten days or half a month back then, could I have directly advanced to the peak of Qi Refining?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think.

But he also knew it was impossible.

Not to mention whether others would agree, such advancement probably wasn’t that simple.

“Sigh, Lu Changsheng, how could you have such thoughts?”

As soon as this thought arose, Lu Changsheng immediately felt a bit decadent.

“Even if I increase my strength through this method and break through realms, what good will it do?”

“If you improve in this way, your state of mind, means, and strength will not be worthy of this realm of cultivation, which will lead to a hollow foundation!” 

“Only through one’s own efforts, step by step, down-to-earth, having more children, and improving yourself is the way to go!” 

“Everything else is just clouds, only by marrying and having children, steadily improving oneself, can one reach the end!”

Lu Changsheng immediately reflected on himself, abandoning the idea of wandering off track in his mind, firmly believing in and adhering to the principle of ‘more children, more blessings’ relying solely on his own efforts to improve!

“Ah, never forget your original intentions, to maintain consistency, one must always remember their heart!”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Then, he took out his talisman-making tools, preparing to attempt drawing top-quality talismans!

His inability to draw high-level talismans before was mainly due to his cultivation level.

Now, with his cultivation breaking through the peak of Sixth Stage Qi Refining, this aspect was also resolved.

After laying out the talisman paper, Lu Changsheng held the talisman brush and lightly dipped it in spirit ink.

Then, the spiritual power flowing within his body reached his palm and extended to the brush, causing the tip of the pen to emit a spiritual glow.

As the pen tip fell, it moved like a dragon and snake, with the strokes of the pen emitting spiritual power, flowing smoothly like clouds and water, without any hesitation.

After a moment, Lu Changsheng raised his hand.

There were lightning arcs pervading the paper on the table.

A top-quality first-grade talisman, Lightning Inducing Talisman was completed!

Previously, Lu Changsheng found it somewhat difficult to draw the Lightning Inducing Talisman.

He had to be extremely careful and meticulous during the process to avoid failure.

But now, it was as easy as eating and drinking for him.

“With my current cultivation at Qi Refining Stage Six, I can probably draw three or four top-quality talismans at once.”

Lu Changsheng felt the consumption of spiritual power in his body and muttered to himself.

Drawing a Lightning Inducing Talisman before had left him feeling completely drained.

Immediately after, Lu Changsheng took out another piece of talisman paper and began to draw a top-quality first-grade talisman—Lightning Flash Talisman!

Drawing the Lightning Flash Talisman, Lu Changsheng’s face also became more serious and focused.

The talisman brush moved swiftly, slowly delineating on the paper to form a pattern of spiritual lines that shimmered with spiritual light.

However, before he had finished delineating half of it, the talisman paper suddenly broke with a ‘crack’ sound, emitting blue smoke.

“My cultivation had just broken through to the peak of Qi Refining Stage Six, and I’m not yet familiar with it so my control is still lacking.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

He immediately knew where the problem lay.

One was the medium-grade talisman brush, which was still lacking for drawing top-quality talismans.

Secondly, his control over spiritual power was also insufficient.

So, the combination of these two problems resulted in too much spiritual power during the delineation process, making the lines unstable, thus causing the talisman to fail.

However, these were not issues, as long as he became a bit more familiar with it.

Feeling his own spiritual power, Lu Changsheng decided not to continue drawing talismans for now.

He planned to try drawing top-quality talismans later, after his spiritual power and mind had recovered.

There was no problem drawing top-quality talismans with his cultivation at Qi Refining Stage Six.

But he could only draw one at a time, and he couldn’t draw them consecutively.

He had just finished drawing a first-class talisman and a half-class talisman, which also consumed a lot of energy, so he had to go slowly.

And this matter wasn’t urgent for the time being.

Lu Changsheng headed out, preparing to go to the residence of the Fourth Elder to discuss his recent activities with her.

However, just as he stepped out, he learned that the Fourth Elder had already come to his house to visit his great-grandson.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng went to the backyard.

He immediately saw the Fourth Elder holding his son, Lu Yun, with a loving expression on her face, chatting and laughing with Lu Miaoyun.

“Grandmother.”

Lu Changsheng approached and bowed slightly.

“Changsheng, you’re here.”

The Fourth Elder nodded towards Lu Changsheng and said, “I just heard from Yun that you encountered trouble with rogue cultivators on your way back?”

“Yes, but with the talismans you gave me, there were no major mishaps.”

Lu Changsheng replied thus.

“Grandmother also thought about it just now. You traveling alone like this is indeed prone to danger.”

“Even with talismans on you, it’s not completely safe.”

“So, Grandmother was thinking, why don’t you just stop going to Jiulong Market? I’ll find someone else to manage the spiritual talisman shop there, and you can stay at home with peace of mind.”

The Fourth Elder spoke.

She wanted Lu Changsheng to manage the shop at Jiulong Market to gain experience and learn some things.

But if something unexpected happened on his frequent trips, it would not be worth the risk.

Therefore, she would rather Lu Changsheng stay on Qingzhu Mountain all the time.

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised at her words.

He thought the Fourth Elder would let him skip coming back every month.

He didn’t expect the Fourth Elder to directly ask him not to leave Qingzhu Mountain.

If it were before, he wouldn’t mind.

Just staying on Qingzhu Mountain would be fine.

But now, having experienced the convenience of Jiulong Market, he leaned more towards staying there for the long term.

Otherwise, he would be spending all day in Qingzhu Mountain, and it would be quite a hassle whether it was buying materials for the Hundred Refining Treasure Body Technique, materials for making talismans, earning spiritual stones, or getting new girls. 

“Grandmother, Changsheng still wants to go to Jiulong Market to gain some experience outside.”

“But I plan to bring Yun and the others to Jiulong Market later. When I come back on normal days, I’ll come back with the Second Elder.”

Lu Changsheng expressed his thoughts.

Yesterday, he also heard Lu Miaoyun say that the Second Elder would come back every once in a while.

“That’s fine too. With your talent in talisman crafting, Grandmother doesn’t have much to teach you, and there’s no need for you to come back every month.”

“As for Yun and the others, you and your wife can discuss it yourselves. Coming back with the Second Elder shouldn’t be a problem.”

“The Second Elder comes back about once every six months, so it’s about time.”

The Fourth Elder pondered for a moment and nodded.

She could also understand Lu Changsheng’s thoughts.

After all, a young man in his twenties wouldn’t want to stay cooped up on Qingzhu Mountain all day long.

Soon after, Lu Changsheng finished chatting with the Fourth Elder, and then had a conversation with Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and others.

They also finalized their plans for the future.

This time, he would stay at home until Qu Zhenzhen gave birth, and then return to Jiulong Market.

As for Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen, they weren’t in a hurry to go to Jiulong Market either.

They would first take care of themselves and their children on Qingzhu Mountain.

Lu Ping’an, Lu Wuyou, and Lu Wuyu, this batch of children, were recently sent by Lu Miaoyun to study at the Bai Lu Manor.

If they all left, there would be no one left to look after so many children at home.

So, Lu Changsheng settled down in Qingzhu Valley and waited for Qu Zhenzhen to give birth.

During this time, Lu Changsheng also experimented a bit with the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique to see its effects.

It must be said that it truly deserved its reputation as a Genuine Level body-refining technique.

Just in the first stage, the physical body was comparable to a magical weapon, capable of resisting attacks from ten women at night!

It made him think, when could he obtain another technique to cultivate his internal organs.

It would be best if it could turn the kidneys into perpetual furnaces!

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

One day, Lu Changsheng was feeding the Nine Netherworld Hound in the courtyard.

The Nine Netherworld Hound was now over a meter tall, with jet-black fur shining brightly. Its teeth were sharp and its vertical pupils on its forehead were intimidating.

Lu Changsheng felt that in a few more years, anyone could see the extraordinary nature of the Nine Netherworld Hound.

The idea he had before about releasing the Nine Netherworld Hound to let it grow up on its own seemed like something he might really consider now.

Just then, Qu Zhenzhen suddenly cried out in pain, indicating that she was about to give birth.
