``` I’m afraid it might be many years before we see each other again. Which is why the more I think about it, the more I miss him, and a wave of sadness washes over my heart. "How could that be? Qing Shan is able to have a Nascent Soul Immortal personally accept disciples, and even took in Xiao Zhu for Qing Shan’s sake; how could they not be favored by their master?" "Besides, even though Qing Shan is a bit mischievous, he is very sensible and will naturally be liked by the master." "With a Nascent Soul master to support him, who would dare to bully him?" Lu Changsheng said in a comforting tone. However, despite saying this, he couldn’t help but worry about his son and daughter. His daughter, Lu Qingzhu, was fine, with her gentle nature, never causing trouble or conflicts with others. But his son, Lu Qingshan, had a vein of pride in him and was of a particularly competitive nature. With such a character, stepping onto the path of immortality was bound to invite strife. "But when I think of Qing Shan being so far away, I feel terrible." "When Qing Shan comes back, will he have forgotten about me, his mother, wuwuwu..." Lu Miaohuan said, her eyes red and she began to weep softly. It’s common for children to gradually grow distant from their families and parents after they leave for Immortal Sects at a young age. Thus, thinking about her son being so young and not only going to a sect... But possibly unable to see each other for ten or twenty years, she was overwhelmed by sadness. "It’s all right, it’s all right, in a few years, once the family is stable and we have time, we’ll go to the Jinyang Sect to visit Qing Shan and Xiao Zhu." "In the Azure Phoenix Immortal City, there’s a Jinyang Sect’s Spiritual Vessel every year, so we can go there and take the Spiritual Vessel to visit them." Lu Changsheng said, trying to soothe Lu Miaohuan. His words were not only to appease Lu Miaohuan. Lu Miaoge had mentioned that Tianyuan True Immortal had said that once the children reached Foundation Establishment, they would be allowed to return home to visit. But even if Lu Qingshan was extraordinarily talented, possessing a Sixth Grade gold-attributed Spiritual Root and the Gengjin Body Constitution, it would still take at least more than ten years to break through to Foundation Establishment. After more than ten years without seeing them, he too was uneasy about his son being away. Therefore, he planned to visit the Jinyang Sect to check on his children’s situation when he had the time. However, traveling to the Jinyang Sect entailed a long journey, and dangers could arise at any moment. With so many matters at hand right now, he couldn’t possibly go. So he was thinking of waiting for another three to five years. By then, after establishing his family and having more time, he would take Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan to visit the sect. By that time, after having infused his ’Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi’ into his Life-bound Treasured Bone and armed with Third Rank Talismans, even if he faced a Nascent Soul Immortal, he would have the power to fully defend himself. "Really?" Upon hearing this, Lu Miaohuan looked at Lu Changsheng with red, tear-filled eyes, looking pitiful and aggrieved. "When have I ever lied to my Huanhuan?" Seeing the Second Miss looking so distressed, Lu Changsheng said with a gentle smile, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes. Continuing, he said: "Now that Qing Shan and Xiao Zhu have gone to the Jinyang Sect, as their father, I naturally miss them dearly and want to see how they are doing." "Let’s wait a few years for the family situation to settle down, then we’ll go visit Qing Shan and Xiao Zhu. Huanhuan, don’t be upset anymore." Lu Changsheng held his wife in his arms, speaking softly. "Mmm." After hearing this, Lu Miaohuan turned her cries into laughter, quietly snuggling into her husband’s embrace. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚 ... When Lu Miaochang learned that Lu Changsheng had brought Lu Miaoge back, he began to arrange a family feast, which caused quite a stir in the Lu Family. "Congratulations to the Great Elder on his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, with a Golden Core on the horizon and a reputation that will certainly spread across the four seas!" "Great Elder is powerful; Qingzhu Mountain will surely rise to even greater heights!" "Congratulations to father on Foundation Establishment!" "..." On this day, as the family banquet commenced, Qingzhu Mountain was bedecked with lanterns and colorful banners, overflowing with joy as they celebrated Lu Changsheng’s Foundation Establishment feast. Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, Ling Zixiao, and others seated in the place of honor, accepting the congratulations and celebrations of the guests. Even though it was a family banquet, the neighbors and smaller families still sent representatives early to present their gifts and congratulations. Several families brought their daughters to toast, hoping that Lu Changsheng might take a liking to one. In response to this, Lu Changsheng flatly refused. One reason was that he was too busy with a heap of important matters to handle. Furthermore, the quality of these women was mediocre. Most of them possessed Lower Grade Spiritual Roots, and they no longer caught the eye of Lu Ancestor. He had now a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, with one hundred fifty-three children, and thirty-nine of them possessed Spiritual Roots. Aside from Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Wangshu, and Lu Ping’an, who obtained Fifth Grade Spiritual Roots through the Hope Gu, there were only two other children with Sixth Grade Spiritual Roots. The rest were all possessed Lower Grade Spiritual Roots. In such circumstances, Lu Changsheng naturally wanted to practice selective breeding as much as possible. Stay connected with freewebnovel The mothers of his children had to have at least Middle Grade Spiritual Roots, preferably Fourth or Fifth Grade. This way, with his own Fourth Grade Spiritual Root and mothers with Fourth Grade Spiritual Roots, the likelihood that the children would have decent Spiritual Root Talents was high. Otherwise, mindlessly reproducing wouldn’t only be a waste of time, but it wouldn’t be good for himself or for the children. Moreover, his children were gradually growing up. The task of having many offspring could be handed over to them. With the Many Children, Many Blessings system in place, when the children of Lu Changsheng had their own offspring, the Spiritual Roots and Cultivation Levels of these grandchildren would also grant him bonuses. Although not as much as from his own offspring, diminishing by fifty percent each generation, once the children began to reproduce, this snowball effect would start rolling. In time, the effect could be many times better than him producing offspring by himself. He could then truly soar without effort. Immediately thereafter, Lu Changsheng announced that his son, Lu Xianzhi, was nineteen this year. If there were any suitable young ladies, they could consider setting up a marriage. Under normal circumstances, with Lu Xianzhi’s Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, Fourth Level Energy Refinement cultivation level, and status as a Lower Grade Puppet Master, it would be difficult for him to marry a decent wife. ```
