Lu Wangshu, upon hearing these words, tilted her little head and said cutely. "Little turtle, take a look and see if you like it." Lu Changsheng took out the Cold Blue Dark Turtle from the Spiritual Pet Bag. This Cold Blue Dark Turtle was only the size of a pot lid, with a blue-green body. The shell carried a hint of ice-blue color, emanating a faint chill. Because it was still young, the little turtle looked rather clunky and endearingly silly. Feeling Lu Changsheng’s presence, the Cold Blue Dark Turtle immediately rubbed against Lu Changsheng’s feet. "Little turtle!" Lu Wangshu’s little face showed wonder. She immediately squatted down and poked the Cold Blue Dark Turtle in front of her with her tender fingers. This Cold Blue Dark Turtle, being a demon beast with human-like intelligence, immediately nuzzled its little mistress affectionately. Then it opened its mouth and spouted an oval ice cube onto Lu Wangshu’s hands. "Eh." Lu Wangshu looked at the ice cube, her face filled with surprise, and subconsciously tried to put it in her mouth to taste it. "You silly thing, don’t just eat anything you find!" Lu Changsheng immediately snatched the ice cube from his daughter’s hand and tapped the Cold Blue Dark Turtle. "Daddy, I want the little turtle," Lu Wangshu said in a sweet, tender voice. "Alright, but let’s get this straight, you can’t just eat whatever you want," Lu Changsheng told Lu Wangshu. Then, he said to Qu Zhenzhen that they should let her help take care of this pet. Otherwise, if really let Lu Wangshu take care of it, she might accidentally kill it. "Husband, don’t worry, I’ll watch over Wangshu," Qu Zhenzhen said softly, squatting alongside to watch the Cold Blue Dark Turtle. She then discussed with Lu Wangshu and decided to name this Heaven Rank demon beast Little Ice. ... Half a month later. That day, Lu Changsheng was having a casual chat with Ling Zixiao. They planned to head out to inspect a few spiritual lands in person once Lu Miaoge broke through to Foundation Establishment, and also take a look at some Spirit Vein Dojos being sold by Qingyun Sect. Just then. A gust of airflow, accompanied by a system notification, sounded. [Congratulations to the host as twenty of your children have completed Qi induction and stepped onto the path of immortality, obtaining a Bloodline Effect: 5% increased likelihood of birthing children with a Spiritual Root, and one opportunity for a lucky draw!] "Hmm, twenty, has Ping’an completed Qi induction?" Lu Changsheng, upon hearing this system notification, paused mentally. Calculating the time, Lu Ping’an should have fully completed Qi induction by now. He kept his composure and continued chatting with Ling Zixiao. An hour later, Lu Changsheng stepped out of the little courtyard and learned that indeed, Lu Ping’an had completed Qi induction. With a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, taking just over half a year to finish Qi induction wasn’t particularly fast, but also not too slow. Therefore, Lu Changsheng prompted him to continue with his cultivation at ease. He planned to try teaching him the "Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art" once Lu Ping’an broke through to the Fourth Level Energy Refinement. "System, lucky draw!" Lu Changsheng went to the study and mentally invoked it. Curious to see what he would draw this time. The system roulette appeared, a streak of golden light emerged and spun around, finally stopping at the ’Elixir Medicines’ section. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Third Rank Melding Spirit Pill!] [The reward has been sent to the System Space, the host can check it at any time] An elixir icon immediately appeared from the roulette wheel, accompanied by a system notification. "Melding Spirit Pill?" Lu Changsheng didn’t know what kind of elixir this was. Although he was a Second Rank Alchemist. His knowledge of elixirs was limited to the Second Rank. He had never heard of this Melding Spirit Pill before. However, with prior experience, he knew that such elixirs, offered singly, were generally quite rare and valuable. With a slight stir of his Mental Spirit, information about the Melding Spirit Pill emerged in the System Space. [Elixir: Melding Spirit Pill] 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 [Quality: Third Rank] Stay tuned to empire [Description: Women who are three months pregnant can take this pill to guarantee the birth of a child with a Spiritual Root and also enhance the quality of the child’s Spiritual Root] "Hisss, taking an elixir guarantees the birth of a Spiritual Root and enhances its quality!" Lu Changsheng, reading the description of the elixir’s effects, revealed a look of delight in his eyes. Although this elixir had no direct use for him. It could ensure that at least one of his children would possess a Spiritual Root. And enhance the quality of the child’s Spiritual Root. "Such a good thing, I wonder if I could make this Melding Spirit Pill after becoming a Third Rank Alchemist," Lu Changsheng thought to himself, eyeing the elixir. But he also knew that this kind of Third Rank elixir probably required rare ingredients and was not easy to concoct. "Who should I give this pill to?" Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, thinking about who to administer the elixir to. He currently had two concubines and one maid who were pregnant. If they took the Melding Spirit Pill, it would guarantee the birth of offspring with Spiritual Roots. "Forget it, I’ll bring out this pill later," Lu Changsheng concluded after a moment’s thought, planning to save the elixir for when Ling Zixiao or Lu Miaoge, Xiao Xiyue became pregnant again. That way, not only could he ensure the child possessed a Spiritual Root, but also greatly improve the quality of the child’s Spiritual Root. ... Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another three months had passed. During these days, although Lu Changsheng hadn’t secluded himself completely for cultivation, he spent most of his time integrating the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi. With the rest of his free time, he spent it with his wives, concubines, and children, crafting Talismans. After all, his own shop, the Lu Family’s shop, needed Second Rank Talismans as the signature Spirit Talismans every month. He couldn’t always use his own Talismans to help with family expenses. If he ran out of Talismans on his person, insufficient to set up a Talisman Formation, he would feel insecure. Of course, he hadn’t forgotten about the remaining four pregnant maids at home either. Using the "Five Aggregates Proliferation Method", he arranged for all four women to conceive. That day, inside a quaint and tranquil grotto.
