With a Second Rank Spirit Slaughterer, he could, in the face of a demon beast, discern its weak points and flaws at the first instance, enabling a more effective attack. This feeling was incredibly profound, and even Lu Changsheng himself couldn’t explain it clearly. It was as if he had been slaying demon beasts for decades, his heart and blade equally cold, knowing exactly when to strike swiftly. "Lu Lang, could you be the reincarnation of some great being?" "Otherwise, how could you be so formidable, knowing so much." Xiao Xiyue’s beautiful eyes were lively as she blinked and looked at Lu Changsheng, jokingly saying. Having been around Lu Changsheng for so long, and him always surprising her, made her feel that he was no ordinary person. Yet, through their long association and interaction, and various behaviors, she could also tell that Lu Changsheng wasn’t like some old monster reborn. "Hiss, you actually figured it out, I was once a False Core master." Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat as he said with a smile. He thought to himself that in front of Xiao Xiyue, he had indeed revealed a bit too much. It seemed he needed to be a little more restrained; otherwise, such astonishing performances were indeed too shocking and hard to explain. "Wow, that’s so impressive." Xiao Xiyue then put on an admiring look, causing Lu Changsheng to be unable to resist pinching her clear, jade-cool cheeks. He thought that if Xiao Xiyue hadn’t cultivated the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, she would probably always be this way. ... In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed. During this time, Lu Changsheng spent his days making talismans, cultivating, refining the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi, and continuously teaching Lu Miaoge the "Saturn Solar Sword Technique." After half a month of hands-on, detailed instructions, Lu Miaoge finally made a simple entrance into the "Saturn Solar Sword Technique." The next step was for her to familiarize herself with the technique and convert her cultivation of the "Profound Water Art" to the "Saturn Solar Sword Technique." Although this process would consume some of her cultivation level and delay her progress, overall, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks. "Sister Miaoge, since you’ve grasped the ’Saturn Solar Sword Technique,’ I will now head back home for a while." "If you encounter any problems during your cultivation, stop and wait for me to return." Lu Changsheng said to Lu Miaoge. "I understand, Changsheng, be careful on your journey." Lu Miaoge said with a gentle and water-like demeanor. "Mm." Lu Changsheng nodded and then rode the Iron Feather Eagle back to Qingzhu Mountain. Shortly after Lu Changsheng left the marketplace, a black-robed young man about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with an ordinary and upright face, walked out of Red Leaf Valley Market. "Red Leaf Valley Market, I shall return." After leaving the Red Leaf Valley region, the black-robed young man exhaled a sigh of relief, looked back toward Red Leaf Valley, clenched his fists tightly, and a shadowy fierceness flickered in his eyes. ... After returning to Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Changsheng, as usual, first visited Qingzhu Villa to discuss matters of his lectures with Uncle Fu. Although he had lectured many times, there were only two or three youngsters with some talent for talisman making. Given his current lack of time, Lu Changsheng didn’t have the leisure to give them private lessons. He would just give them some extra attention and answer questions in class. He planned to have them apprentice at the Red Leaf Valley Market when they got older and if their parents agreed. By then, if he had time and was willing, he would provide more guidance and teaching. Moreover, if he was unavailable, Lu Miaoge could also take over. After returning home, his wives and children immediately came forward to inquire about the events at the Red Leaf Valley Market. The incident of the Robber Cultivator pillaging the Red Leaf Valley Market had caused quite a stir, and they all were aware of it. Though they knew Lu Changsheng was unharmed, they were very concerned about him. ``` Soon after, Lu Changsheng also shared with them the general events of that night. His wives and concubines listened, feeling nothing but thrill and danger. A group of children heard about a Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivator causing havoc in the marketplace, and a Sword Cultivator stepping forward, breaking all spells with a single strike, slaying the Robber Cultivator, and saving the marketplace from fire and water, all showing excited expressions. After all, children of this age very much enjoyed stories of Sword Cultivators slaying demons and vanquishing evil. Seeing the children like this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile. Afterwards, he also inquired about the current situation of the children. He learned that Lu Xianzhi was still at the Second Level of Qi Refinement. His son, Lu Quanzhen, would start cultivating in another month. As for the little girl Bai Ling, she expressed that she would breakthrough to the Second Level of Qi Refinement in a short while. Looking at Bai Ling’s timid face, waiting for praise and commendation, Lu Changsheng rubbed her little head and couldn’t help but marvel at her talent. He remembered Bai Ling had started cultivating less than half a year ago. Specifically, from the time of drawing Qi into her body to now, it had only been a bit more than three months. Three months’ time, without any elixir medicines, this progress was truly astonishing. This made him involuntarily think, how great it would be if Bai Ling were his own biological daughter. In that case, his own talent would probably be at full throttle. After showing some concern and rewarding little Bai Ling, Lu Changsheng went to his backyard and dug a pit, pouring all of the three-colored earth into it. "I wonder how much this tri-color Spiritual Earth will help the Golden Armor Bean Mother." Looking at the Golden Armor Bean Mother that had just started to show a bit of sprouting after a year, Lu Changsheng’s heart was filled with anticipation. He also mentioned to Lu Miaoyun that he had bought some Spiritual Earth and medicinal mud. Although Lu Miaoyun could tell that the Spiritual Earth and medicinal mud were extraordinary, she didn’t ask much and stated that she would take care of it every day. .... Time flew quickly, and before he knew it, Lu Changsheng had been back at Qingzhu Mountain for over a month. During this time, aside from cultivating, making talismans, and refining the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi, he was also fathering children. With his efforts, during this month, four maids had successfully conceived. And on this day, Lu Changsheng’s 121st and 122nd children were born. Just when these children were born, a system notification sounded. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for the first birth of dragon and phoenix twins, granting you one lottery chance!] "Dragon and phoenix twins? There’s even an achievement reward for this." Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows rose slightly as he smiled. He had known for a while that his concubine Kui Si was carrying twins. But because he had already received a reward for the first set of twins, he didn’t expect much chance of getting a reward the second time and consequently had no such expectations. Unexpectedly, without any particular hopes, he received a system reward. And both of these children had Spiritual Roots. One Seventh Grade Spiritual Root, one Eighth Grade Spiritual Root. "Perhaps by continuously accumulating Lower Grade Spiritual Roots, would my Spiritual Root also slowly progress to Fourth Grade?" "However, for fast promotion of a Spiritual Root, it’s still necessary to rely on higher-grade ones." Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly, yearning to have a child with a talent like Bai Ling’s. He planned once Lu Miaoge had reached Foundation Establishment, to have two more children. With both parents at Foundation Establishment and possessing Fifth Grade Spiritual Roots, the children born were likely to have good Spiritual Roots. After visiting the children, Lu Changsheng also returned to his study, preparing for the lottery. He wanted to see what this unexpected lottery chance would yield. "System, draw the lottery!" Lu Changsheng silently commanded in his heart. Watching the familiar lottery wheel emerge before his eyes, with a slight stir of his spirit, a ray of golden light whisked around rapidly on the lottery wheel. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶 ```
