Chapter 139: Chapter 91: Qi Refinement Level 7, Lottery!_3

That night,

the entire Qingzhu Mountain was engulfed in darkness and silence.

Only in the Qingzhu Valley were the lights in Lu Changsheng’s home bright, as he celebrated his breakthrough with his wives and concubines.

The next day,

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun left the house to pay a visit to the Fourth Elder.

After all, since he was back, it was only right to pay respects to the esteemed old lady.

Just as they arrived at the Fourth Elder’s residence, they happened to run into the Second Elder leaving.

“Second Grandpa,”

“Second Elder,”

Lu Changsheng greeted with a beaming smile and a bow.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but wonder, could this Second Elder be a gossip?

The very moment he returned to Qingzhu Mountain, he had to come and speak with the Fourth Elder about what he was up to in the Nine Dragons Market.

Lucky for him, Lu Changsheng walked the straight path and had nothing to fear from others talking behind his back!

“Changsheng, Yun’er, you’ve come,”

the Fourth Elder said with a loving smile as she saw Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun arrive.

After a brief chat, she began to assess Lu Changsheng’s talisman-making skills.

In terms of talisman making, Lu Changsheng was about the same as his last visit.

He had already mastered the Frost Talisman, and then there was another middle-grade talisman—barely a beginner in that area.

Given his previous performance and the explanation of his Spiritual Body, the Fourth Elder was much more accepting of Lu Changsheng’s progress.

Indeed, his progress over the past six months was nearly the same as in the preceding four months.

She couldn’t help but think, did Lu Changsheng not improve as much this time because he had been physically together with his wife less over these past six months?

But as his elder, it was not proper to inquire about such matters.

It’s not as if she could say, “Changsheng, if you can handle it physically, more intimacy won’t hurt, and I’ll explain things to Yun’er for you.”

“Not bad, not bad.”

“Changsheng, at this rate, I’m afraid it may only take another year for you to become a Superior Grade Talisman Master!”

the Fourth Elder said with a joyous and gratified expression.

“I will certainly work hard,”

Lu Changsheng replied.

He had indeed planned to do so,

preparing to demonstrate the skills of a Superior Grade Talisman Master in about a year,

almost a full year ahead of his original schedule.

After all, he had fabricated a Spiritual Body, so a sped-up rate of progress was somewhat justifiable.

“Changsheng, you must also diligently pursue your cultivation, and not become complacent,”

“Although the fourth level of energy refinement is sufficient to draw a superior grade talisman, it’s a bit strenuous, so it would be best if you could break through to the fifth level as soon as possible.”

The Fourth Elder glanced at Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level and spiritual power.

However, she found that his spiritual power was so well-concealed that she could not ascertain it at a glance.

She did not bother to look further,

believing that some treasure must be hiding his spiritual aura.

After all, it was quite normal to conceal one’s energies while traveling outside.

“Granny, Changsheng just made a breakthrough to the fifth level of energy refinement yesterday,”

said Lu Changsheng, who knew that under the cover of the magic artifact and the jade pendant of the lady in the colorful skirt, the Fourth Elder had not seen his true cultivation level, and he spoke without a change in his expression.

The breakthrough from yesterday was also nothing to hide; there was nothing worth concealing.

Though having a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root and making a breakthrough from the fourth to the fifth level of energy refinement in a year and eight months was somewhat exaggerated,

it could still be barely explained.

“What, you’ve broken through to the fifth level of energy refinement!”

The Fourth Elder exclaimed in surprise.

Indeed, Lu Changsheng was not just a possessor of a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root;

he had also devoted many hours and energy to talisman making, managing the store, as well as intimate affairs.

Therefore, under these circumstances, this rapid advancement to the fifth level of energy refinement was truly astonishing.

“Yes, Granny.”

“Changsheng knows his talents are lacking, so I have never slacked in my cultivation.”

“Usually, I also drew some talismans to sell to a former good friend, and put some up for sale at the Spiritual Talisman Shop, and with the spirit stones earned, I bought elixir medicines to aid in cultivation.”

Lu Changsheng spoke up, relating to Hong Yi the affair of selling talismans at the Spiritual Talisman Shop.

After all, he had never intended to hide these matters from the Lu Family and wasn’t afraid of them finding out.

“Good, good, knowing that you haven’t neglected your cultivation, grandma is reassured.”

“These matters are trivial; as long as you are clear on them, that’s fine. If you have any problems with your cultivation, you can always ask grandma, and if you need any help, feel free to mention it.”

The Fourth Elder said with a face full of gratification.

In her heart, she vaguely guessed that Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Body might also contribute to speeding up his cultivation.

However, the speed was not too astonishing, and she didn’t inquire further.

S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After all, in the Cultivation World, everyone has their secrets. There’s no need to be overly curious and insist on asking everything.

She immediately began instructing Lu Changsheng in the art of talisman making.

Teaching Lu Changsheng to make talismans was also a pleasure for her.

After all, mentoring a disciple was very fulfilling and rewarding.

Especially thinking about the future, nurturing a Second Grade Talisman Master made her love Lu Changsheng even more.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Lu Changsheng returned to the Nine Dragons Market with the Second Elder.

Originally, he planned to bring Lu Lanshu or the sisters Lu Qing’er and Lu Zi’er to the Nine Dragons Market.

However, the women expressed that the Spirit Root Testing Ceremony was just three months away and wanted to stay at home with the children.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng did not insist.

He immediately took his other two wives to the Nine Dragons Market.

“Brother Lu, just how many wives and concubines do you have?”

After arriving at the Nine Dragons Market, Yu Maocheng, seeing Lu Changsheng with two women he had never seen before, couldn’t help asking.

“Not many, just five wives, nine concubines, two favored beauties, and fifteen maids.”

Lu Changsheng said.

“Am I really such a damned cheap bastard?”

Yu Maocheng, hearing this response, wondered why he had even asked.

He slapped his own mouth twice.

“Brother Yu, don’t be like this, don’t… Brother Yu…”

Lu Changsheng hurriedly held him back.

When he got back home, Lu Changsheng shook his head.

He felt that if he wanted to remain friends with Yu Maocheng, he needed to talk less about these topics.

After that, he counted the Spirit Stones he had on him.

A total of two hundred and five Spirit Stones.

“Sigh, I’m broke!”

Lu Changsheng let out a deep sigh.

His monthly expenses were substantial.

Plus, he had recently purchased gifts for his wives and children, which meant he had spent far too much and saved hardly any money.

“Looks like I can only go to the White Jade Tower later.”

“As for the matter of the Second Grade Talismans, that will also have to be put on hold for now.”

Lu Changsheng, looking at the meager amount of Spirit Stones, decided to temporarily forgo visiting the White Jade Tower and crafting Second Grade Talismans.

Before long, half a month had passed.

The last of the four maids Lu Changsheng had purchased ended up pregnant.

This brought the total number of Lu Changsheng’s children to fifty.

“The Lu Family is still quite decent, allowing twenty years just to have fifty children.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh when he thought about completing the Lu Family’s initial request in just over six years.

Too bad he was no longer the Lu Family’s son-in-law.

Otherwise, with his efficiency, Patriarch Lu Yuanding would certainly have lauded him with great praise before everyone.

Another month and more had passed.

Lu Changsheng’s thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, and thirty-ninth children were born.

“I wonder if there’s any reward for the fortieth?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but look forward to the birth of the next baby, which was due soon.

Nine days later.

When the fortieth child was born, a system notification rang out.

[Congratulations, host, for the number of your progeny reaching forty, you have earned one chance to draw a prize!]
