Lu Changsheng shook his head. He was not an ascetic cultivator. He had already been in seclusion for so long. He was not willing to spend several more months focusing solely on the study of secret techniques. He pushed the door and walked out of the practice room. The manyfold increase in his divine sense had changed the way he viewed the world. The entire world seemed more vibrant and lively. The vitality of all things rose and fell, each with its distinct charm. Looking up, he saw the great formation that enshrouded Qingzhu Mountain, where mana flowed, transformed, and varied, all following a certain pattern. "Now that I have a divine sense comparable to that of late Foundation Establishment, if I were to study formation, becoming a first-grade array master shouldn’t be difficult," Lu Changsheng thought to himself. Many skills, as one’s cultivation level and strength increased, became less challenging to grasp. This was especially evident with formations. Array master was a profession with a very high threshold. It was even more dependent on innate talent than talisman making. But with a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment and the possession of divine sense, learning formations would become much easier. Because divine sense was advantageous for studying pattern details, observing the evolution of great formations, and precisely arranging formations, among other things. "However, even with these advantages, advancing to second rank would still take an unknown amount of time and effort," Lu Changsheng shook his head. He had no intention of trying to delve into these matters himself. With the time and effort that would take, he might as well have a few more children in the hope of drawing a second-rank formation. ... Half a month later. Lu Changsheng was chatting with Qu Zhenzhen in the courtyard, keeping the children company. At that moment, Lu Changsheng felt a stream of qi enter his body out of nowhere. He knew it was his son Lu Quanzhen who had completed drawing qi into his body. "Indeed, it’s not an achievement award for just one child," Lu Changsheng murmured to himself. He felt neither disappointed nor perturbed; he was very calm. After all, he had suspected that probably only after five or ten children had completed drawing qi into their bodies would any reward be triggered. "Dad, Mom, I’ve completed drawing qi into my body!" Soon after, his son Lu Quanzhen came running over excitedly to share the good news. "Eh, indeed after cultivating, one looks much more handsome and pleasing to the eye." Qu Zhenzhen, hearing of her son’s successful cultivation, promptly looked at him with joy, pinched his little face, and made Lu Quanzhen show a helpless expression. He felt that his mother, despite her age, still acted like a child and was even more childish than himself. Upon hearing these words, Lu Changsheng’s mouth twitched slightly. He didn’t see how his son had become more handsome. His son grew up in Qingzhu Valley, consuming spirit rice and spiritual meals daily, and began taking elixir medicines to fortify his foundation and nurture his primary qi since the age of six, virtually stepping one foot into cultivation. So there was no significant change when drawing qi into his body. "Congratulations, Brother!" "Congratulations on stepping onto the path of cultivation, Brother!" The few children beside him revealed looks of envy and voiced their congratulations. "Well done." "This is your reward from Dad; when you reach the Third Level Energy Refinement, you’ll be able to control a flying sword." Lu Changsheng took a flying sword from his storage bag and handed it to his son. He had gathered a pile of magic artifacts from slaying a robber cultivator in Red Leaf Valley. These artifacts, which he found inconvenient to handle in the Red Leaf Valley Market, he had kept with him. Thinking it over, he was too lazy to deal with them anymore. He decided to use them as rewards for his children. After all, these artifacts had no markings and were not forged by any Artifact Refining Master, so they wouldn’t be recognized as stolen goods. "Thank you, Dad!" Lu Quanzhen’s eyes lit up at the sight of the flying sword, and his face was full of joy. As a cultivator, who didn’t dream of possessing their own flying sword? Previously, when Lu Changsheng rewarded a flying sword to Lu Xianzhi, it made all his siblings envious. "Quanzhen, you must work hard in the future." Qu Zhenzhen watched the scene happily, patted her son’s head encouragingly. "Mom, rest assured." Lu Quanzhen nodded firmly. After seeing that his son Lu Quanzhen had completed drawing qi into his body, Lu Changsheng stayed a few more days before returning to Red Leaf Valley Market. Lu Miaoge had already begun switching her cultivation of the "Profound Water Art" to the "Saturn Solar Sword Technique." But changing cultivation techniques was no small endeavor. Originally, when Lu Changsheng was at Seventh Level Energy Refinement and cultivating the non-attribute "Returning Origin Technique," it took him four months to switch techniques. Although Lu Miaoge’s two cultivation techniques were both water attribute, switching between them was actually less efficient than for a non-attribute technique like the "Returning Origin Technique." With her Ninth Level Energy Refinement cultivation, it was estimated she would need about half a year to complete the switch. ... Half a year later, inside the practice room on Qingzhu Mountain. "Phew, I’ve finally completed the refinement of this Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi," Lu Changsheng looked at the exquisite and smooth Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi before him, which seemed divinely crafted, and joy appeared on his face. Normally, he would have finished refining the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi much earlier, but due to various trivial matters, and the dual cultivation with Xiao Xiyue and so forth, it was only now he had completed the refinement of this heavenly spiritual treasure. "This Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi is a heavenly spiritual treasure, and I plan to integrate and refine it into my life-bound treasured bone." "Therefore, to be safe, it’s better to solidify this Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi into my chest bone," Lu Changsheng had long made plans for the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi. He intended to consolidate it into his chest bone first. Wait until he broke through the fifth layer of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, then he’d thoroughly integrate the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi with the Baogu Method into his life-bound treasured bone. Once the life-bound treasured bone was formed, henceforth, the chest bone would be the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi, and the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi would be his chest bone. In that way, he would be able to attain the Nine Great Divine Abilities of the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi permanently. "Chuh!" Lu Changsheng unbuttoned his magical robe to reveal his muscular, sculpted chest, and with a light shout, the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art circulated, preparing to extract the Black Dragon Magical Bead currently in his chest bone.
