Chapter 378: Taiyi Plants the Dao, The State of the Spirit Land! (3)

The Yin Yang Harmony Technique belonged to the heretical path of cultivation methods.

Although he wasn’t opposed to passing on this heretical cultivation method, Lu Ping’an’s personality clearly wasn’t a good fit.

“Why not try the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art?”

A thought struck Lu Changsheng.

In fact, he had always wanted to pass the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art to one of his children.

Because if his children practiced it, it could enhance his own power.

If he were to help a child refine a Magical Treasure and assist in cultivating the “Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art,” then it would be tantamount to doubling the benefits of a single Magical Treasure.

But this technique was not only difficult to practice, but also extremely dangerous.

If one were even slightly overzealous in the process, it was easy to make mistakes.

This could lead to the body being unable to withstand the effects of the sacrifice, leading to disintegration and demise.

Therefore, the son who cultivated this technique must be calm and tight-lipped.

In his view, Lu Ping’an was quite suitable in this regard.

Furthermore, as a martial arts expert, Lu Ping’an already had a foundation in body refining.

“However, the “Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art” is more of a supplementary body refining technique and not truly to the path of body cultivation,”

“To cultivate this art, one must first draw Qi into the body.”

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changsheng realized that at this stage, Lu Ping’an was simply not capable of cultivating the “Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.”

At once, he let Lu Ping’an choose from several techniques he had previously acquired from robber cultivators.

In his more than two decades in the Cultivation World, he had met many kind-hearted people and obtained several good techniques.

The best among them was naturally the “Red Phoenix True Scripture.”

Although this technique only went up to the Core Formation Stage,

it was, after all, a Peripheral Sect Level technique.

Next, there was the Exquisite Level “Purple True Solar Scripture” acquired from five robber cultivators in the Jiuxiao Immortal City, as well as another Exquisite Level technique, “Green Wood Sunfire Technique,” he had obtained previously.

As for High Grade Cultivation Techniques, he also had four or five of them.

“This…”

Lu Ping’an, upon seeing these techniques, scratched his head uncertain which to learn.

“Let’s go with this one.”

Seeing his son’s indecisive face, Lu Changsheng directly handed over the Purple True Solar Scripture.

The reason he chose this technique was that it offered a cultivation method that combined Magical Dual Cultivation.

Seventy percent was dedicated to Qi Refinement, and thirty percent to Body Refinement.

This would be a good way to see if Lu Ping’an had any talent in the area of body refinement.

“Alright.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an immediately nodded his agreement.

However, since Lu Ping’an couldn’t read the Jade Slip yet, his father had to understand the technique and teach it to him.

It took more than an hour for Lu Changsheng to explain the first layer of the cultivation method, drawing Qi into the body, and the circulation through the meridians. ℞𝐀Ν𝙤𝔟Ёś

“Alright, practice well, and if you have any questions, come and ask me later.”

“If I’m not around, you can go to your Aunt Zi Xiao for help.”

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and then added.

He planned to let Ling Zixiao have a look at the technique later on.

When he was not present, she could provide some guidance.

“Yes, father.”

Lu Ping’an took his words seriously and nodded earnestly.

Determined in his heart, he resolved to make this cultivation a success.

After seeing to Lu Ping’an’s matters, Lu Changsheng went to the backyard to spend time with his wives and children.

Lu Miaoyun brought over several letters, indicating that in recent times, many people had written to him.

Lu Changsheng glanced through the letters.

His good friends Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing had written to congratulate him on achieving Foundation Establishment.

His brother-in-law Xia Zhaoyang also sent a letter offering congratulations for his Foundation Establishment.

Besides these three, there were also two friends he had made at the Nine Dragons Market, Yu Maocheng and Gao He.

Apart from congratulating him on his Foundation Establishment, Gao He also reported on the status of the Peace Talisman Hall.

He mentioned that since Lu Changsheng’s departure, the store’s business had declined due to a lack of Second Rank Talismans being replenished.

If Lu Changsheng had the time, he could supply some Spirit Talismans.

Having read the letters, Lu Changsheng replied to each one, instructing Lu Miaoyun to send them back on his behalf.

He also took out a stack of Spirit Talismans and handed them to Lu Miaochang, instructing him to arrange for their delivery to the Red Leaf Valley Market.

A portion was for the Peace Talisman Hall.

The rest was for the Lu Family.

After all, as the Lu Family’s Great Elder and a Second Grade Talisman Master, he still had to contribute something.

After all, these Spirit Talismans would eventually be converted into contribution points and credited to his name.

After he had dealt with these matters and saw that it was getting late, Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao engaged in Dual Cultivation to deepen their affection.

Afterwards!

“Zixiao, I may be quite busy in the coming time and won’t always be around,” he said.

“I’ve given Ping’an the Purple True Solar Scripture for his cultivation. If he encounters any issues during the process, guide him a little,” Lu Changsheng said, his arms around the soft and tender Ling Zixiao, whose skin was white with a rosy underglow.

“Alright, my lord, rest assured,” Ling Zixiao replied in a gentle and delicate voice.

Immediately afterward, Ling Zixiao and Lu Changsheng began discussing the matter of the family’s Spirit Land.

In the past month, she had made a brief inquiry into the Qingyun Region and the situation of the family powers.

At the same time, she had also learned which families were preparing to sell their family Spirit Lands and relocate completely.

Because the Qingyun Sect had a certain rule.

After a great battle such as the one at Blackwater Pool, there should be three years of stable development, with no invasions or outbreaks of conflict allowed.

Therefore, many families who lost their ancestors in battle were still struggling, readying themselves for a last-ditch effort.

They hoped to rise to the Foundation Establishment level and stabilize their families’ situations.

As such, only two or three families were interested in selling their Spirit Lands.

But Ling Zixiao was not very satisfied with these families.

Because the size of these families’ Spirit Lands, their locations, the nearby marketplaces, and other such factors were all relatively poor.

“At present, the Spirit Lands of these families willing to sell, as well as those who lost their ancestral powers, are all pretty average,” she said.

“My lord, you mentioned before that it is possible to buy Spirit Vein Dojo through Qingyun Sect?”

“If my lord has connections within the Qingyun Sect, purchasing a high-quality Spiritual Vein Blessed Land, even if we must build from scratch, is still worth considering for the long term,” she suggested.

Ling Zixiao spoke up, conveying her thoughts.

As an Array Master from Jiuxiao Immortal City, her standards were naturally quite high.

She considered the Spirit Lands of these families that might be for sale average and somewhat beneath her concern.

Even Qingzhu Mountain, in her opinion, was quite average and not very impressive.

“Regarding the Spirit Vein Dojos of the Qingyun Sect, I am not very clear myself,” Lu Changsheng said.

“All I have is a Qingyun Order, which represents a favor owed by the Qingyun Sect, capable of making certain demands.”

“I plan to use the Qingyun Order to obtain a qualification to purchase a Spirit Land if we don’t find a suitable one,” Lu Changsheng revealed, not hiding the matter of the Qingyun Order.

“Qingyun Order,” Ling Zixiao pondered upon hearing this and nodded thoughtfully.

“In that case, my lord could find out in advance which Spirit Vein Dojos are currently for sale by the Qingyun Sect,” she proposed.

“I will also continue to investigate the situation of the nearby Spiritual Vein Blessed Lands,” Ling Zixiao continued to say.

“Very well, thank you for your hard work, Zixiao,” Lu Changsheng responded with a nod.

After dinner, he planned to write a letter to ask Xiao Xiyue if she had any knowledge in this regard.

After spending time with his wives and children, Lu Changsheng did not head straight for seclusion.

Instead, he began to craft Third Rank Talismans.

His plan was to first create some Third Rank Talismans to carry on his person.

Moreover, during this period, he wanted to take care of his concubines who were currently trying to conceive.

Previously, at the Second Rank Talisman Master ceremony, he took in two concubines and five maids.

All seven women had only given birth to one child each, and after such a long rest, they were already able to have a second one.

Although he was intent on having quality offspring,

since the women were already in his harem, it was natural to want them to conceive.

Furthermore, including Lu Ping’an, he now had thirty-nine children with Spiritual Roots.

If he could have one more child with a Spiritual Root, that would bring the total number of offspring with Spiritual Roots to forty, and perhaps that would prompt the system to give him some Child Money.

Besides, the Spiritual Roots of these seven women were quite decent;

there were two with a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, and one with a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root.

Yet when he thought about the fortieth child, Lu Changsheng’s mind once again went to the child in Nangong Mili’s womb.

As a Nascent Soul Immortal, there was a high probability that her child would have a Spiritual Root, even a good one at that.

If the child in her belly was born, it would very likely be the fortieth child with a Spiritual Root.

“Sigh!”

After glancing at the system’s offspring tab and seeing that the child was still there, Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly, slightly reassured.

Yet he couldn’t help worrying about Nangong Mili and Meng Xiaochan’s current situation.
