Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 131: Advanced Level lottery, Spiritual Treasure!
Ten days later.
Hongye Valley had been transformed into a bustling market town. The valley was still filled with red leaf trees and spiritual fields.
Since the market town had just been opened, it was still relatively quiet.
There were only a few people from the four major families and some other powers.
Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge were strolling around the market town, getting familiar with the surroundings.
Although the red leaf trees were still there, the layout had been redesigned, and it was vastly different from the original Hongye Valley.
The new layout was similar to that of Julong Market, divided into four regions: east, west, south, and north, each designated for residential and commercial use.
The shops used by the major families were the best in the commercial district.
Lu Changsheng’s shop was not in a bad location, but it wasn’t the best either.
It was on a commercial street.When he bought the shop for Hong Yi, Lu Changsheng had an idea of its price – around three thousand spirit stones.
If the market town flourished in a few years, the price might increase significantly.
As for the shop that Hong Yi purchased, its location is quite ordinary.
It’s situated on a rather remote street.
On one hand, this is the level of shop available for outward sale.
On the other hand, it’s also due to the limited financial resources of the Marquis of Ruyi’s manor.
At most they can take out 1800 spirit stones.
While strolling with Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng received a message from Gao He.
“Sister Miaoge, I have something to attend to. I’ll be right back.”
Lu Changsheng said to Lu Miaoge, who nodded and replied, “Okay, you go ahead.”
Lu Miaoge wore a white dress, exuding a gentle aura.
Lu Changsheng then went to the market town entrance to meet Gao He and brought him to his shop.
The shop was not large, with an area of around 200 square meters and three floors. “Brother Gao, I’ll be troubling you with the management of this shop from now on.”
“I can provide three top-grade Talismans and some high-grade Talismans every month. As for the purchase of goods..,”
Lu Changsheng briefed Gao He on the shop’s operations.
Having spent many years in Julong Market, Lu Changsheng was no stranger to the spiritual Talisman business.
“Brother Lu, this shop doesn’t belong to the Lu Family, but is yours personally?””
Gao He was stunned after hearing Lu Changsheng’s words and asked.
He had previously thought that Lu Changsheng had invited him to Hongye Valley market town as a Talisman master representing the Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family.
But it turned out that Lu Changsheng had opened his own shop.
This revelation left Gao He astonished and envious.
Many Rouge Cultivators struggled to buy a house in a market town, and most could only choose to settle down in the mortal world.
Even as a high-grade Talisman master, it wasn’t easy to buy a house in a large market town.
A shop like Lu Changsheng’s, as long as Hongye market town remained stable, could support three generations, which was no joke.
“Heh heh, that’s correct, the Lu Family also has a shop here,”
Lu Changsheng replied with a smile, not hiding the truth.
“However, this shop is not part of the Lu Family’s business, but my personal venture. Since I don’t have much time to manage it, I’ve asked you to help.”
He also planned to practice in Qingzhu Mountain and accompany his wife, concubines and children like the fourth elder.
After completing the Lu Family’s Talisman-making task every month, he would supply his Talisman Shop with goods, and also come to check on the Talisman Shop’s situation and meet Lu Miaoge.
“Alright, please don’t worry, Master,”
Gao He replied, not asking further questions.
After glancing at the shop, Gao He looked at Lu Changsheng and said, “However, this shop needs a name. You should come up with one, Master.”
Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and casually came up with a name. “Let’s call it ”Peace Talisman Hall’ then.”
Gao He’s mouth twitched.
A name like this was quite common and unoriginal.
However, such names were typical, except for some powerful families.
It was up to them to build a reputation through word of mouth.
Then, Gao He and Lu Changsheng discussed the preliminary preparations for the spiritual Talisman shop.
Lu Changsheng had previously mentioned this to him, and Gao He had made preparations accordingly.
Lu Changsheng knew that Gao He had put in effort, and he had considered asking the Lu Family for help if needed, given the available resources.
Next, Lu Changsheng also discussed the second-level cave dwelling with Gao He.
The cave dwelling was small, only about 100 square meters, but it could be rented out for around 80-90 spirit stones per year.
Once the market town flourished, it could be rented out for over 100 spirit stones per year.
Lu Changsheng offered to rent it to Gao He for 80 spirit stones per year.
“Thank you, Master,”
Gao He said, accepting the offer with a smile.
Lu Changsheng then left, heading to the Qingzhu Lu Family spiritual Talisman shop.
The shop’s layout was similar to the one in Julong Market, but slightly larger.
“Changseng, are you done?”
Lu Miaoge greeted Lu Changsheng immediately after learning that he was coming.
She was elegant and refined, with a gentle aura, as if she didn’t belong to the mortal world.
“Yes, I’m done,”
Lu Changsheng replied with a smile.
He told Lu Miaoge about Gao He’s matters, and they chatted like a normal couple.
They didn’t always have exciting things to talk about, and often discussed their daily lives.
As night fell, Hongye Valley became quiet, with only the guards on patrol remaining awake.
In the third floor of the Qingzhu Lu Family spiritual Talisman shop, the simple bedroom was dimly lit, with the bed curtains drawn.
Lu Miaoge lay on the bed, her eyes closed, her body trembling as she absorbed the essence.
She looked like she was walking on clouds, her beauty breathtaking.
After a while, Lu Miaoge let out a sweet hum from her nose, and her body trembled violently.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng also hugged his wife, who was hot and covered with fine beads of sweat, and carried out the last step of Emotional Silk Technique.
They absorbed the refined essence and merged it with their own Vital Essence, returning it to their bodies. The two of them were immersed in the afterglow of their cultivation.
“Miaoge, how long will it take for you to break through to Qi Refining ninth stage?”
Lu Changsheng asked softly, holding his warm and soft wife.
Due to the previous assassination attempt and her pregnancy, Lu Miaoge had only broken through to Qi Refining eighth stage three months ago.
“It should take around five or six years,”
Lu Miaoge replied, her face flushed, looking beautiful and alluring.
“Five or six years,”
Lu Changsheng nodded, understanding that according to Lu Miaoge’s cultivation speed, it would take around ten years for her to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
“In ten years, I might be able to get a genuine Foundation Establishment pill,”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
“And after I reach Foundation Establishment, I can consider passing on the sword technique to others.”
Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaoge, his wife, and thought about her cultivation.
He naturally cared about her progress.
“Don’t worry, I’m just asking, I want to help you cultivate and reach Foundation Establishment sooner.”
Lu Changsheng whispered in Lu Miaoge’s ear, and then they continued their dual cultivation.
Among all his wives, only Lu Miaoge, who was also at Qi Refining eighth stage, had the best dual cultivation effect with him.
One dual cultivation session was equivalent to almost half a month of cultivation.
“Uh~”
Lu Miaoge’s face was flushed, her eyebrows curved, her beautiful eyes shining like water, and her teeth biting her lips.
After accompanying Lu Miaoge in Hongye Valley for half a month, Lu Changsheng returned to Qingzhu Mountain.
The distance between Hongye Valley and Qingzhu Mountain had become more convenient for him.
On the third day after returning to Qingzhu Mountain, Jiang Louyue gave birth to a child.
This child didn’t have a Spirit Root, but a system prompt sounded when the child was born.
【Congratulations to the host for reaching 100 offspring and winning an Advanced Level lottery】
“Advanced Level lottery!?”
Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows rose in surprise.
Previously, when he had 50 children, he had obtained a designated lottery chance.
This time, with 100 children, he had obtained an Advanced Level lottery.
“Ordinary lottery is already so powerful, and this Advanced Level lottery will definitely be even more incredible!”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng’s heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.
He immediately went to the study and began the lottery.
“System, I want to draw a lottery!”
Lu Changsheng whispered to himself.
Instantly, a deep red virtual lottery wheel appeared.
Unlike the previous lottery wheel, this one had only four regions: martial arts manuals, spiritual pills, heavenly materials, and magical treasures.
“Ordinary lottery can draw Genuine Level martial arts, and this Advanced Level lottery… will it draw martial arts above Genuine Level?”
“And ordinary lottery can draw heavenly pets, so this Advanced Level lottery… won’t it draw a true spiritual beast?”
Lu Changsheng’s heart was filled with anticipation and excitement as he waited for the lottery result.
He was curious about what reward he would get.
“System, draw the lottery!”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, and with a gentle movement of his heart, the Advanced Level lottery wheel in front of him began to spin rapidly.
Five seconds later, the golden light slowed down and finally stopped on the “Spiritual Treasures” section.
【Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Nine-Treasure Jade Ruyi, a spiritual treasure!】
【The reward has been sent to the system space, and you can view it at any time.】
A blue pattern with nine embedded stars appeared on the lottery wheel, accompanied by a system prompt sound.
“Spiritual treasure!?”
“Nine-Treasure Jade Ruyi?”
Lu Changsheng was shocked and delighted by the reward he had obtained.
He didn’t expect to draw a spiritual treasure, which was a top-grade magical treasure that only Divine Transformation realm cultivators could wield.
“Drawing a spiritual treasure like this is great, and with the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, I can at least use it.”
“If I had drawn a martial arts manual or some useless pills or materials, that would be a real loss, and I could only leave them unused.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t feel disappointed about drawing a spiritual treasure.
Instead, he thought the reward was quite good.
After all, the system’s rewards were too advanced for him, and he couldn’t quickly convert them into actual power.
But with the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, he could use any magical treasure to cultivate and refine his body, increasing the speed of his technique.
With the help of the medium-grade magical treasure, Black Dragon Magic Bead, his Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique had progressed rapidly.
In about a year, he would be able to break through to the third stage.
If he could refine a spiritual treasure like the Nine-Treasure Jade Ruyi into his body, his Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique’s cultivation speed would likely skyrocket.
Lu Changsheng looked at the system space, where the Nine-Treasure Jade Ruyi was stored.
【Spiritual Treasure: Nine-Treasure Jade Ruyi】
【Grade: Spiritual Treasure】
【Description: Before the Nine Heavens God King sat in meditation, he collected the essence of the stars and merged it with the Wanling Jade, refining it with his nine great divine abilities. This resulted in a treasure that contains the nine great divine abilities, with infinite power and mysterious abilities that cannot be activated by anyone without great magical power.】
“Is the grade of this spiritual treasure not divided into low, medium, high, and top grades?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the information about the treasure in front of him, feeling a bit surprised.
This made him think of a passage he had read in an ancient book, which said that spiritual treasures of the heavenly grade were far superior to those of the extreme grade.
Therefore, there was no need to divide them into low, medium, high, and top grades.
“No matter how you divide the grades, this is at least a heavenly spiritual treasure!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I’m afraid that even the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique’s creator, couldn’t have refined a heavenly spiritual treasure into their body for cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t care about the grade or the description of the treasure’s effects, including the part that said it couldn’t be activated by anyone without great magical power.
After all, at the level of a heavenly spiritual treasure, what did the effects matter to him?
Not to mention that he was just a Qi Refining weakling.
Even if he had the power of a Core Formation true person, he still wouldn’t be able to activate this heavenly spiritual treasure.
Without thinking much, he retrieved the heavenly spiritual treasure from the system space.
Immediately, a small, exquisite, and warm jade ruyi appeared, about the size of a baby’s arm.
The jade ruyi was adorned with nine colors – crimson, blood red, golden, sky blue, deep blue, purple, black, dark black, and white – which seemed to flow like a starry river, beautiful and magnificent.
“Wow, this is a heavenly spiritual treasure, and it’s too…”
As Lu Changsheng retrieved the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi, he gained an understanding of its effects.
The Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi contained nine great divine abilities, known as the Nine Treasures.
The first treasure was essence, which could increase physical strength!
The second treasure was energy, which could increase spiritual qi!
The third treasure was spirit, which could increase spiritual awareness!
The fourth treasure was speed, which could increase speed!
The fifth treasure was healing light, which could repair the body and treat the soul!
The sixth treasure was protective light, which could transform into a protective light that repelled all attacks!
The seventh treasure was sealing light, which could seal others’ spiritual powers and even seal one’s own breath!
The eighth treasure was unsealing light, which could break all sorts of formation seals!
The ninth treasure was the nine-colored calamity light, which could destroy everything in its path!
“Wow, this Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi is an all-purpose treasure that can enhance, attack, defend, heal, and more! It’s simply an omnipotent treasure.”
“Damn, it’s a pity I can only look at it, but can’t use it!”
Lu Changsheng gazed at the heavenly spiritual treasure in front of him, his eyes filled with envy.
Through the system, he learned that this heavenly spiritual treasure had four amplification effects: essence, energy, spirit, and speed, with a maximum amplification of ten times.
As for the fifth treasure, healing, although it couldn’t bring people back from the dead, it could basically save people’s lives with just one breath.
It could even consume the source of life to instantly recover from all injuries.
Just these few effects were enough to make it an unparalleled treasure.
“No, it’s not that I can’t use it.”
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng’s eyes lit up, as if he had an idea.
“The final stage of the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique is to refine the human body into a heavenly spiritual treasure.”
“But during this process, I can also separate the head bone, chest bone, spine, and four limbs, and treat them as magical treasures to cultivate.”
“I can use the ‘Treasure Bone Technique’ and ‘Bone Fusion Technique’ to directly fuse one part of my body with this Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi, making it my own innate treasure bone!”
“This way, the nine effects of this Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi can become my own divine abilities.”
“It’s just that after fusing my innate treasure bone, the power of the effects will greatly decrease, and I won’t be able to refine other magical treasures in that bone anymore. I’ll need to nurture and cultivate it myself.”
Lu Changsheng had a thorough understanding of the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique.
He immediately thought of a method to use this Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi.
It was to fuse this Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi with his bones, making it his own innate treasure bone.
“However, I’m currently only at the second stage of the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique. To fuse my bones, I need to at least reach the fifth stage, where my body is comparable to spiritual weapons, before I can try.”
“But with this Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi, as long as I complete the fusion and refinement, I can borrow the power of this heavenly spiritual treasure to help me reach the fifth stage of the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, which doesn’t seem so far away.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.
He didn’t think anymore, and sat down in a lotus position.
“Let’s do this!”
Looking at the Nine Treasures Jade Ruyi in front of him, he activated the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, and a flame of spiritual energy ignited within his body, beginning the fusion process.
In Zhoushan Prefecture City, Qu Changge walked through the city streets.
He wore a black wide-sleeved robe, and his white hair was dyed black, tied up with a hairpin.
His cold and stern face, except for looking quiet and taciturn, didn’t seem unusual.
However,
