If the Spirit Stones were still insufficient, he could also draw Spirit Talismans and refine Elixir Medicines to quickly gather funds. The next morning, as the sky began to show the first light of dawn. Lu Changsheng arrived outside the northern gate of Qingyun Market. At this time, there were already many Cultivators waiting, including several Qingyun Sect’s patrolling law-enforcement Cultivators. It seemed they were all waiting for the arrival of the Qingyun Sect’s Spiritual Vessel. "Han Senior, when the Spiritual Vessel arrives, please line up here and board the second floor of the vessel," a Qingyun Sect disciple inquired about Lu Changsheng’s situation. Seeing the green Jade Token in his hand, he briefed him on the general situation. "Okay." Lu Changsheng nodded his head. After waiting for nearly an hour. A three-level tall, fifty to sixty zhang long Spiritual Vessel, wrapped in luminous Formation light, slowly descended from the high clouds. This Spiritual Vessel was not only inscribed with Formation Runes but also had several artillery turrets, which made one feel insignificant while also imparting an indescribable sense of oppression. "How powerful could these turrets be? Are they comparable to a blow from a Core Formation?" Lu Changsheng wondered to himself as he looked at the Spiritual Vessel. He had heard that some large Spirit Boats would be inscribed with Attack Formations and equipped with large-scale Magic Artifacts. During major power conflicts and battles, they would use Spiritual Vessels to transport resources and manpower to the battlefield. Such Spiritual Vessels also belonged to the category of strategic Magic Artifacts. Ordinary powers simply couldn’t afford them, nor did they have channels to purchase them. "Everyone present yourself with the token in hand, and line up in order to board the Spiritual Vessel." "If you disrupt the order, boarding qualifications will be revoked!" The Spiritual Vessel was hovering in mid-air as two Foundation Establishment Cultivators came out and spoke, their voices booming. As soon as their words settled, a rainbow light descended from the Spiritual Vessel, forming a series of steps. At this time, the Qingyun Sect’s law-enforcement Cultivators ordered people to line up and board the vessel in sequence. Having observed and understood the situation, Lu Changsheng knew that the tickets for this massive Spiritual Vessel came in three tiers. The first tier was the Purple Jade Token, for luxury upper-class rooms. The second tier was his type, the Green Jade Token, for ordinary guest rooms. The third tier was the White Jade Token, where all passengers shared a hold without private space. There were only three persons holding Purple Jade Tokens on this trip on the Spiritual Vessel. They appeared either rich or noble, likely descendants of Nascent Soul Immortals or members of large aristocratic families. After these three boarded the Spiritual Vessel, Lu Changsheng also started lining up to board. "Recommended by Xi Yue Junior Sister? May I ask how to address you?" After boarding the Spiritual Vessel, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator checked Lu Changsheng’s Jade Token and asked. "Loose Cultivator Han Li," Lu Changsheng made a bow with hands folded in front. "Alright, Daoist Han, Room No. 9, please enter." After a simple log-in by this Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he didn’t inquire further. "Alright, thank you." Lu Changsheng nodded, making his way to the guest rooms on the second floor of the Spiritual Vessel. The room wasn’t large— Just a single room of about ten square meters. For Lu Changsheng, it was more than enough. He had purchased quite a lot of Talisman making materials in Nine Dragons Market and Qingyun Market. Over these three months, he could calmly draw Talismans on board the Spiritual Vessel. Half an hour later, the Spiritual Vessel rose high into the sky and set off for Jiuxiao Immortal City. Lu Changsheng brewed a pot of Spiritual Tea and quietly watched the sea of clouds outside the window. He had long since grown tired of such scenery. But his first time on a Spiritual Vessel was like the first time he had flown on a plane in his previous life, somewhat novel. He couldn’t help but think to himself when he would be able to own a Spiritual Vessel like this. After all, such a Spiritual Vessel truly exuded dominance. Having finished a pot of Spiritual Tea and watched the clouds for a while, the novelty of riding the Spiritual Vessel had almost vanished. Lu Changsheng exhaled softly, took out a talisman brush and paper, and began to draw Spirit Talismans with his mind tranquil. ... In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. [Congratulations to the host, ten offspring have completed the ’Qi-Introduction into Body’ and stepped onto the path of cultivation, earning a 5% increased probability for offspring to have a Spiritual Root, and receiving one chance to draw a lottery!] "Hmm, ten now," Lu Changsheng, who was making Talismans, heard the system alert and a faint smile appeared on his face. His children were now starting cultivation in an orderly manner. In the next three years, another ten children would step onto the path of cultivation. These children would be the foundation of his future Family. ``` "The probability effect of having offspring with a Spiritual Root, if kept on increasing like this, wouldn’t it guarantee that all my future children will possess a Spiritual Root?" Lu Changsheng, observing the 5% increase in the probability of siring offspring with a Spiritual Root, mused to himself. After several enhancements, the chance for his offspring to have a Spiritual Root had already risen to 15%. Your next chapter is on empire This probability was far from low. You see, when two cultivators have children, the chance that the child will have a Spiritual Root is only about ten to twenty percent. "But I would also need a sufficient number of wives and maids to maximize this passive effect." Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly. He was now ready to stream in more resources and focus on selectively breeding. There weren’t many pregnant wives or maids left in his backyard. Apart from the seven new concubines and maids, many had already given birth among his wives and maids. Thus, aside from Xia Zhizue, Lu Miaoge, and Xiao Xiyue, Lu Changsheng didn’t really want to keep having them bear children. "However, once I establish my family and reveal my Foundation Establishment strength, these matters should resolve themselves." Lu Changsheng contemplated privately. Merely by revealing his Second Grade Talisman Master abilities, he already had many people willing to send their family juniors to be his concubines or maids. If he were to reveal his Foundation Establishment strength, then even more families and powers would likely be willing to send over their talented juniors. "Indeed, in the Cultivation World, as long as you have strength, many problems cease to be problems." Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed, then silently commanded in his mind. "System, draw the lottery." A pale red wheel of fortune emerged, bathed in a golden light that began to spin rapidly. After a moment, the light slowed and rested on ’pet’. [Ding! Congratulations Host, you’ve obtained a Spiritual Pet: Cold Blue Dark Turtle!] [The reward has been distributed to the System Space, the Host can check it at any time.] An image of a dark blue turtle radiating a chilly aura appeared from the wheel, accompanied by a system notification sound. "Cold Blue Dark Turtle? A turtle species Spiritual Pet?" Lu Changsheng scrutinized his lottery prize, frowning slightly. His first impression of turtle species beasts was that they had long lifespans and slow growth. So seeing this Cold Blue Dark Turtle, he immediately felt the Spiritual Pet was of limited use, somewhat mediocre. Immediately, Lu Changsheng’s Mental Spirit flickered, turning his attention to the Cold Blue Dark Turtle in the System Space. [Beast: Cold Blue Dark Turtle] [Rank: Heaven Rank Lower Grade] [Description: A lower-grade beast with the True Spirit ’Dark Mysterious Turtle’ bloodline. It can grow to its peak in a thousand years, becoming a Fourth Rank Demon Beast] "Truly a case of raising a turtle for three generations, people pass away, but a turtle remains." "Though a thousand years to grow into a Fourth Rank Demon Beast is already very fast for a turtle species beast." "But this rate of growth would exhaust even a Nascent Soul Immortal." Lu Changsheng, seeing the description of the Cold Blue Dark Turtle, couldn’t help shaking his head. Although he was confident that he could outlast this turtle. With a Nine Netherhound in his house that could grow into a Fourth Rank Demon Beast in five hundred years, he was already dissatisfied with its slow growth. Now this Cold Blue Dark Turtle would take a thousand years to reach the Fourth Rank, which made him not want to even comment. "Forget it, that’s the nature of a lottery, always ups and downs, might as well treat it as a common pet." Lu Changsheng exhaled and didn’t concern himself too much. Although the Cold Blue Dark Turtle’s growth was slow, it also represented a future potential. After all, a beast’s lifespan is several times that of a human being. And the lifespan of a turtle species beast is generally several times that of other beasts. If he took good care of this Cold Blue Dark Turtle, maybe it could accompany him for tens of thousands of years. Lu Changsheng decided not to take the Cold Blue Dark Turtle out from the System Space for the time being. He planned to leave it in the System Space until he disembarked from the Spiritual Vessel and arrived at Jiuxiao Immortal City, then take a good look at the situation of this Spiritual Turtle. ... Blackwater Pool, Xiahou Family. "How dare you infiltrate the Xiahou Family!" A loud roar resounded, piercing the sky. The next moment, a sword light broke through the void, leaving a crack in the great formation above the Xiahou family estate. Then an escape light flew swiftly through the crack, soaring into the sky, disappearing into the clouds. "She must not be allowed to escape!" "This woman might very well be an agent of the Qingyun Sect, infiltrating our Xiahou family to investigate any potential collusion with the Demon Path." "Now that our Sect Master is challenging Li Duanxuan to a duel, and we’re on the brink of war with Jiang Country, we cannot afford any missteps!" In the depths of the Xiahou estate, several voices exchanged words. Immediately, a figure rose into the sky, transforming into a black divine rainbow, chasing after the escape light that had just fled. This figure was emanating a terrifying spiritual pressure, characteristic of a False Core Immortal. ```
