Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another half year had passed. Over this half year, Lu Changsheng’s life remained as monotonous yet fulfilling as ever. Every day, he practiced cultivation, crafted talismans, produced offspring, and then dual cultivated with Xiao Xiyue. In this year, he had nine more children, bringing the total to one hundred and thirty-eight. And after such a long time of dual cultivation, Xiao Xiyue’s Dao Foundation was almost fully restored. Inside the cave abode, accompanied by a low roar and a soft moan, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue ended their cultivation. The two quietly embraced each other, savoring the lingering feelings afterwards. "Changsheng, after two or three more times, the cracks and fissures in my Dao Foundation should be able to heal," Xiao Xiyue said softly while snuggled against Lu Changsheng’s chest, her face blushing. These two or three times, naturally, didn’t just refer to dual cultivation, but to the restoration of the Dao Foundation through the Yin Yang Energies. "Let me take a look." Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng took Xiao Xiyue’s wrist and inspected her Dao Foundation with his Divine Sense. The cracks and fissures on the Dao pedestal were almost invisible now. "It seems to be really fast. Xi Yue, didn’t you say that my Yin Yang Energies, not only repair the Dao Foundation, but also resonate with your Dao Foundation, resulting in a transformation?" "Can you feel how much longer it will take to undergo this change?" Lu Changsheng, playing with the full and silky skin, piled up like snow, asked out loud. "I feel that when my Dao Foundation is completely repaired, it will undergo some kind of change," Xiao Xiyue said. "Oh, that’s quite a fortunate turn of events, congratulations to you, Xi Yue," Lu Changsheng chuckled softly. "Changsheng, aren’t you worried that I’ll leave you once my Dao Foundation is fully restored?" Xiao Xiyue, seeing the casual look on Lu Changsheng’s face, pouted slightly. "I’ve said before, I will respect all of your choices," Lu Changsheng said with a sincere look in his eyes. "Hmph, Xi Yue doesn’t believe it. You must be saying one thing and thinking another, convinced that I surely can’t escape the palm of your hand," Xiao Xiyue snorted softly. Her mind was sharp and clear, and having been with Lu Changsheng for so long, she had realized that he was not one to let go easily; deep down, he was incredibly possessive and imperious. These words were just to comfort herself, not wanting to make herself feel upset. "Of course, while I do respect you, how could my love for Xi Yue be something I can just let go of so easily," Lu Changsheng said with a wry smile. As the two were having a tender conversation, a system notification sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind. [Congratulations to the host for your first offspring to break through to the Martial Dao Innate, resulting in Bloodline Effect: 5% increase in the probability of offspring reproduction, and one lottery draw opportunity!] As the system notification sounded, a surge of vital energy force suddenly entered Lu Changsheng’s body out of thin air. This strength of an Innate Martial Artist brought no significant enhancement to Lu Changsheng, who had cultivated the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique to the Fourth Level. The improvement it brought was minute. However, compared to the feedback when Lu Xianzhi and Lu Quanzhen completed their Qi introduction, it was much stronger. "Ping’an has broken through to the Innate level," Lu Changsheng paused momentarily in thought. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶 He knew it was his son Lu Ping’an who had broken through to the Martial Dao Innate. When he had returned to Ruyi Prefecture previously, Lu Ping’an had told him that he would be able to break through to the Martial Dao Innate in a few months. Counting the time, it was indeed about right. It had not occurred to Lu Changsheng that the children’s breakthrough to Martial Dao Innate would also come with system achievement rewards. In the past, when his children practiced martial arts, the system had not prompted anything, and the strength displayed on the panel was marked as ’none.’ He had thought that there was no system achievement reward in this regard. Only after the system notification sounded did he realize that only after reaching the Martial Dao Innate does it meet the condition for triggering achievement rewards. "It seems that in the system achievements, one is considered to have only started martial arts upon the breakthrough to the Innate level, corresponding to a cultivator’s introduction of Qi into the body," "For ordinary people, achieving the Martial Dao Innate is extremely difficult, but for me, as long as I am willing to spend money and the children are willing to train, they can basically achieve the Martial Dao Innate by the age of twenty," "Indeed, the system achievement rewards cannot depend solely on having children; it is necessary to foster their development," Lu Changsheng thought to himself. He had his children practice martial arts, partly with the idea of enhancing his own martial strength. However, as his own strength improved, he became less focused on this idea. Raising his children in martial arts had more to do with strengthening their bodies. Moreover, it gave them the ability to protect themselves in case of danger in the secular world. "Previously it was the increase in probability of Spiritual Root amongst the offspring, now it’s an increase in the probability of offspring reproduction," "Every time a cultivator breaks through a cultivation realm, reproduction becomes more difficult," "I wonder how significant this 5% probability increase is," "Moreover, this increase in probability is probably only on my part," "But the difficulty of cultivators conceiving increases after gaining strength, and it’s the same for both male and female cultivators," Lu Changsheng, looking at the increase of 5% probability for offspring reproduction on the system prompt, pondered silently. He knew that each major realm breakthrough made reproduction more difficult for cultivators. But he had no way to judge just how much more difficult it had become. And there were no records of this in the Cultivation World. After all, everyone practices different Cultivation Techniques, condenses different Dao Foundations, has different personal situations, and the final outcomes could be different. Moreover, not many cultivators would study such matters. "Changsheng, what’s wrong?" Just then, Xiao Xiyue noticed Lu Changsheng was slightly lost in thought and asked. "Nothing, I was just thinking about something," Lu Changsheng, hearing Xiao Xiyue’s voice, immediately came back to reality and chuckled. Hearing his response, Xiao Xiyue did not inquire further. The two continued to chat leisurely for a while and then lay down to sleep in each other’s arms. ... The next day, Lu Changsheng left Xiao Xiyue’s cave abode and went to his own Peace Talisman Hall.
