Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Lu Changsheng contemplates his predicament in the Land of Eternal Night and considers reconciling with Yun Wanshang, even contemplating using a child as a means to secure their relationship and appease Chu Qingyi. He is then surprised to discover he has another unborn child, unsure of the mother's identity among Shen Baishuang, Shen Yiren, or the Six Paths Demon Consort. Lu Changsheng eventually receives an Infant Transformation Elixir from the system.
"Infant Transformation Elixir!?" Lu Changsheng uttered in shock upon seeing this reward, unsure whether to feel glad or vexed. He had long been hoping the system would offer an Infant Transformation Elixir to ease his cultivation journey, but it remained elusive. Now, just as he had acquired one, the system unexpectedly presented him with another. Life, it seems, can be quite ironic. "One can never possess too many Infant Transformation Elixirs, especially when those from the system are guaranteed to be of the highest caliber," Lu Changsheng consoled himself. Though he hadn't drawn the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures or Elixir Medicines he desired to escape the Land of Eternal Night, the value of an Infant Transformation Elixir was undeniable; no one could ever have enough. Especially since the elixirs obtained from the system's lottery were always top-grade. The Infant Transformation Elixir he had originally received from his son, Lu Quanzhen, was merely a top-quality one. Lu Changsheng decided not to manifest this particular Infant Transformation Elixir from the System Space, intending to save it for his eventual breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage. "Tsk, if I were to offer this Infant Transformation Elixir as a betrothal gift, I imagine countless fairies would be eager to bear my children?" Lu Changsheng mused, lightly stroking his Storage Ring and producing the Ten Thousand Years Sky Blue Bottle. Through his experiences in Jiang Country and his recent journey through the Starry Sky Sea, Lu Changsheng had come to grasp the extraordinary worth of an Infant Transformation Elixir in any setting. Numerous Core Formation Great Masters, desperate to reach the Nascent Soul realm, would readily sign servitude contracts, dedicating decades or even a century of their lives for just one such elixir. However, Lu Changsheng was merely indulging in a fleeting thought. He had a large family awaiting him at home, and his wives and children would undoubtedly require Infant Transformation Elixirs in the future. Thus, trading it was out of the question. Unless... Lu Changsheng's gaze drifted towards the direction where Caiyun True Immortal had vanished. He wondered what the latter's reaction would be if he were to propose using this Infant Transformation Elixir as a betrothal gift and bride price. Based on his estimations, even though Yun Wanshang had been away for over forty years, she likely hadn't acquired an Infant Transformation Elixir, possessing perhaps only a few Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects at most. "This item is simply a bonus, meant to enhance marital affection." Lu Changsheng returned the Ten Thousand Years Sky Blue Bottle to his Storage Ring. They were already so well-acquainted; would Lu Ancestor truly need to rely on an [Infant Transformation Elixir] to foster their relationship? Wouldn't that be akin to a transaction? With a mental command, Lu Changsheng lightly tapped his Spiritual Pet Bag. "Whoosh!" A jet-black cocoon, shimmering with a faint luminescence, materialized within the Quiet Room. This obsidian cocoon was the transformed state of the Soul-calling Beast. Following its consumption of the Fourth Rank ghost pet belonging to the Six Paths Demon Consort, it had entered a profound slumber. When Lu Changsheng had encountered the Six Paths Demon Consort again and ventured into the White Bone Demon Palace, the beast had still not stirred from its dormancy. "There's no Spiritual Qi in the Land of Eternal Night; will Tihun encounter difficulties advancing in this state?" Lu Changsheng knew that the Soul-calling Beast was in the process of transforming and advancing to the Fourth Rank. However, the Land of Eternal Night presented a vastly different environment compared to the outside world, leaving Lu Changsheng uncertain if the surroundings would impede the Soul-calling Beast's progress. After all, while Demon Beasts might require less environmental and natural spiritual energy than cultivators when reaching the Fourth Rank, they still possessed certain needs. Yet, the Soul-calling Beast was unique amongst Demon Beasts, being neither purely demon, magic, beast, nor ghost, but a distinct life form. Its growth potential was undeniably remarkable. As long as it could continuously devour Resentful Ghosts, its advancement would be terrifyingly swift. After observing the dimly glowing cocoon for a short while, Lu Changsheng raised his hand, and the Tianyuan Lotus appeared. He channeled his replenished mana into it, hoping to ascertain his son Lu Quanzhen's condition. To his surprise, the Tianyuan Lotus merely emitted a ripple of spatial energy and failed to open. "Hmm? What is happening? Space repulsion?" This was not the first instance of Lu Changsheng facing such an obstacle. He had been unable to open the Tianyuan Lotus within the Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven as well. He surmised that this was a result of spatial incompatibility between the Tianyuan Lotus's Cave Heaven and the Land of Eternal Night, leading to suppression. "Quanzhen is currently undergoing Demon Fetus Transformation; there should be no significant issues."
Finding the Tianyuan Lotus impossible to open, Lu Changsheng set it aside and meticulously organized his Storage Ring and Storage Bag.
He meticulously checked for any items that might be useful in the near future or tested some of the rare spiritual materials he had collected, hoping to restore his mana.
...
Upon exiting the Cultivation Quiet Room, Yun Wanshang proceeded to her palace. There, she addressed matters concerning the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, dispatching individuals to search for the creature.
Her orders stipulated that should they encounter the golden Peng bird, they were to address it directly as "Lord Golden Peng."
It was understood that a Demon King roaming freely, without its master's watchful eye, would likely be exceptionally ferocious, and a direct confrontation would probably result in few survivors to relay the news.
With the necessary arrangements confirmed, she then retired to her Practice Room to commence meditation and cultivation.
Even though the Qi and Blood Magical Power were suppressed in the Land of Eternal Night, hindering cultivation, her Tongyu Phoenix Marrow Body contained a residual trace of Spirit-nurturing Energy.
This very Spirit-nurturing Energy had been instrumental in the initial recovery of her first wisp of mana.
As her mana gradually replenished, while practicing the Heavenly Light Power, she made a remarkable discovery: she could utilize this Spirit-nurturing Energy to stimulate her Golden Core Dao Foundation, thereby awakening dormant mana.
Yet, over the passage of time, the stimulating effect of this small amount of Spirit-nurturing Energy on both her Physical Body and her Golden Core Dao Foundation had diminished considerably.
"If..."
A celestial gleam flickered within Yun Wanshang's eyes, accompanied by a kaleidoscopic radiance, as if her gaze pierced the veil of distance.
A moment later, she softly parted her crimson lips, lowered her exquisite eyelids, and initiated the circulation of the Spirit-nurturing Energy within her being. It began to twist and coil around her Golden Core, proceeding with a slow, deliberate navigation.
...
Lu Changsheng attempted to consume several rare Spiritual Medicines in an effort to revive his mana, but all his efforts proved futile.
As Yun Wanshang had accurately stated, only spiritual products nurtured within the Land of Eternal Night, imbued with the essence of both Heavenly Light and Earthly Light, possessed such restorative properties.
He ceased his wasteful attempts with precious spiritual materials and turned his attention to studying the secret technique of the Heavenly Light Power, a gift from Yun Wanshang.
Despite having cultivated for over a century, Lu Ancestor had never thoroughly delved into the study of any specific Cultivation Techniques.
