Chapter 657: Chapter 249: Twin Fourth Grade Spiritual Roots, The 3rd Spiritual Body Descendant! “Mother.” Lu Qingxuan was somewhat at a loss in the face of such a scene. “Hehe.” Lu Changsheng, holding the child, turned to Shao Yuyao and said, “Yuyao, thank you for your hard work.” Having given birth to a child with a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, according to the family rules he had previously established, she was entitled to a reward. Not only could she be promoted from Ninth Grade concubine, but should Lu Qingxuan excel in the future, she too could rise in status through her son! “My Lord, your concubine… did not find it hard,” Shao Yuyao said with a trembling voice. She came from a minor Qi Refinement family. After her family fell, she was sold into the White Jade Tower. She had expected only grim and miserable days ahead, yet became a maid to Lu Changsheng. Over the years, aside from bearing several children, her life was extremely comfortable. Now, her young son possessed a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, becoming Lu Changsheng’s child with the best Spiritual Root, which was an immense surprise to her. “The ceremony will continue, Wangshu.” Lu Changsheng, looking towards Lu Wangshu beside him, showed an encouraging look. “Big Pot, be gentle.” Lu Wangshu, dressed in a pale pink dress, as cute as a carved doll, hopped forward and stretched out her delicate little hand, saying to Lu Ping’an in a crisp voice. She had been raised by Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, and Qu Zhenzhen since childhood, and was also loved by Lu Changsheng, thus had a lively and cheerful disposition. “Okay.” Lu Ping’an looked at his sister and grinned. Then he used a small knife to make a gentle cut on her hand, squeezed out a drop of blood, and had her grasp the Spirit Testing Pillar. “Hum—” On the Spirit Testing Pillar, pale green and deep blue lights blossomed. A total of six sections lit up on the ten-segment Spirit Testing Pillar. “This, another Fourth Grade Spiritual Root!” “Hiss, two Fourth Grade Spiritual Roots in a row!” “This, this, this…” Lu Miaoyun and the others, upon witnessing this scene, had faces full of astonishment and surprise. It should be known that at the Spirit Testing ceremony of Qingzhu Mountain, it was quite rare to encounter a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root even once in ten years. Now, among Lu Changsheng’s children undergoing the Spiritual Root test, there were astonishingly two Fourth Grade Spiritual Roots in a row! “This Lu Changsheng really has extraordinary luck!” Master Mo, who had arranged the Great Formation for Bi Lake Mountain, had also come to watch the ceremony. Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but exclaim. He had previously learned about Lu Changsheng, feeling that this person had no small amount of fortune and opportunity, able to even break through to Foundation Establishment with a Lower Grade Spiritual Root and establish a family. Now seeing that there were two Fourth Grade Spiritual Roots in his family, he too couldn’t help but marvel and feel moved. After all, when it comes to childbirth, in addition to factors like the parents, luck plays a big part. “Another Fourth Grade Spiritual Root?” Lu Ping’an looked at the Spirit Testing Pillar in front of him with a look of surprise and doubtfulness. He then transmitted his voice to Lu Changsheng: “Dad, could there be something wrong with this Spirit Testing Pillar?” “Can’t you hope for something good?” Lu Changsheng, upon hearing this, spoke to his son somewhat irritatedly. Two Fourth Grade Spiritual Roots had appeared in his own family, and this silly son actually suspected there was a problem with the Spirit Testing Pillar. He stepped forward, holding Lu Wangshu’s hand, with a beaming smile, and said loudly, “Excellent, excellent, my Lu Family has produced two Fourth Grade Spiritual Roots in one year, this is a blessing from the heavens for my Lu Family, a blessing for Bi Lake Mountain!” “Congratulations to my husband! Congratulations, Sister Miaoge.” “Congratulations to the Mountain Master, and may the young lady enjoy a long and prosperous path as an Immortal!” Everyone immediately congratulated them loudly. Since Xiao Xiyue’s mission was to station at Bi Lake Mountain and to keep a low profile, she rarely made public appearances. This time, the Spirit Testing Ceremony was attended by Lu Miaoge, accompanied by Lu Wangshu. Over the years, everyone had come to regard Lu Wangshu as Lu Miaoge’s daughter. “Hehe, Daddy, I’m so amazing, is there a reward for me?” Lu Wangshu tilted her little head up and asked Lu Changsheng. “Yes, there is, for everyone!” Lu Changsheng said with a smile, petted the somewhat bewildered Lu Qingxuan’s head beside him, and turned to Lu Qingsheng, saying, “Qingxuan, Qingsheng, what reward would you like?” “I, I would like a puppet bird.” Lu Qingxuan thought for a moment and then spoke up. He was very fond of the puppet bird at Bi Lake Mountain amusement park and wanted one of his own. “Alright, I’ll get you one later.” Lu Changsheng said with a nod and a smile. He then took the three children aside to sit and signaled for the Spirit Testing Ceremony to continue. The villagers of Hushan Town were also much tenser at this moment, looking at their own children with more anticipation. Hoping to be touched by the fortune of Bi Lake Mountain’s new Mountain Master, they wished for their children to be detected with a Spiritual Root. Hushan Town had a total of twenty-three eligible children. As the tests proceeded one by one, there were no surprises. Only two children were found to have Spiritual Roots, but both were Lower Grade Spiritual Roots. However, relative to the circumstances, having two Immortal Seedlings among twenty-three people was already quite impressive. Sometimes, out of dozens of children, not a single one would possess a Spiritual Root. Lu Changsheng rewarded the parents of these two children and bestowed Elixir Medicines upon them. He also announced that these two children were entitled to start their enlightenment education at the Lu Family Academy. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺 “Thank you, Mountain Master, thank you, Mountain Master!” Upon hearing this, both sets of parents immediately knelt and thanked Lu Changsheng. At this time, Lu Changsheng also announced people-benefiting policies to the residents of Hushan Town, encouraging childbirth. He promised that if a child in the family was detected with a Spiritual Root, not only would they receive a reward, but the expenses for the child’s future cultivation would all be covered by the Lu Family. “Thank you, Mountain Master!” “Thank you, Mountain Master!” The villagers thanked him profusely upon hearing this announcement. They naturally knew that even if their children had Spiritual Roots, they couldn’t compare to the young masters and misses of the Lu Family. But if their own children could embark on the path of immortality and they could receive tangible rewards, it was more than enough for them. … In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed. With Lu Changsheng’s hard work and diligence, Xia Zhiyue finally became pregnant. Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but hold some expectations for this child. If this child could also possess a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, his own Spiritual Root could be promoted to a higher grade. In Changsheng Hall, within the Talisman Crafting Room, Lu Changsheng was in the process of drawing a Spirit Talisman. Bi Lake Mountain had been operating at a loss, naturally, he had to subsidize the household expenses with his talismans. Moreover, with his reputation as a Second Rank, Superior Grade Talisman Master spreading, there were often families and powers who came to purchase Second Rank Talismans. To this end, Lu Changsheng had them queue up, selling one or two Second Rank, Superior Grade Talismans almost every month. The queue for the talismans to be sold was already booked until next year. As Lu Changsheng was focusing intently on drawing the talismans, suddenly a strong and mysterious vibration surged forth, accompanied by a system notification.
