Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 59: Eighth Grade Spiritual Root, 6th Lottery Draw!_1

Translator: 549690339

Time flew by.

That day, Lu Changsheng’s twenty-second child was born.

Like most children, he was without a Spiritual Root.

Now, for a child to be without Spiritual Root, Lu Changsheng had grown accustomed to it, completely without expectation.

If the child had a Spiritual Root, it would be a pleasant surprise.

...
However.

Surprises like that tend to arrive so suddenly, so unexpectedly.

One month later, when Lu Changsheng’s twenty-third child was born, he was seized by a deeply mystical tremor.

It was the tremor of the child having a Spiritual Root.

Moreover, this particular tremor gave him an indescribable sense of mystery throughout his body.

It gave Lu Changsheng a premonition.

His Spiritual Root had advanced!

With the addition of this child’s Spiritual Root, his own had risen from a Ninth Grade to an Eighth Grade.

At that instant, a system notification sound rang out.

[Congratulations to the host for the birth of three children with Spiritual Roots, receiving one lottery draw opportunity!]

“Good, good, good!”

The tremor from the improvement in Spiritual Root and the system notification sound filled Lu Changsheng with immense joy and excitement.

He had not expected that, with no expectations whatsoever, this child would possess a Spiritual Root and elevate his own to the Eighth Grade.

And, at the same time, the system had come through with a bonus of Child Money.

Such unexpected and surprising good fortune, or really two instances of such surprises, filled him with unstoppable excitement and joy.

“Husband, what’s wrong?”

His wives, unaware of what had happened to Lu Changsheng, didn’t understand why he suddenly appeared so joyful.

Lu Changsheng realized that he had gotten a bit carried away with excitement.

Mainly because the surprise had come so unexpectedly, so suddenly, that he hadn’t managed to keep his composure.

“An issue with Talisman that had troubled me for quite a while just suddenly became clear to me, so I got a little excited for a moment,” he said with a smile.

“Congratulations, husband.”

“Congratulations, husband.”

“Congratulations, husband.”

Hearing his words, several of his wives also showed smiling faces, voicing their congratulations, without any suspicion or further thought.

“What’s there to congratulate? Our Lu Family has been blessed with another son; that’s the true cause for celebration,” said Lu Changsheng, waving his hand.

Internally, he couldn’t help but think that he still needed to temper his state of mind further, to be unshaken even if Mount Tai crumbled before him.

Otherwise, if such situations became more frequent, it would be easy for others to detect something amiss.

He walked into the birthing room, immediately spotting the midwife holding a swaddle.

“Congratulations, young master, it’s a girl,” the midwife said to Lu Changsheng.

“A girl, eh? That’s good too, considering the previous two were boys,” Lu Changsheng remarked, unfazed.

He didn’t have a strong preference for sons or daughters.

He took the child from the midwife’s arms.

Perhaps because he had become a Cultivator, had been practicing the Immortal Beauty Technique, and due to the improved conditions for the child’s mother during pregnancy,

The child looked much cuter than an ordinary newborn, not as wrinkled.

Even knowing that this child possessed a Spiritual Root, Lu Changsheng was very happy inside, but he didn’t show it too obviously or distinctly at that moment.

After looking at the child for a while, Lu Changsheng left and went to his study.

“The child’s birth this time has prompted the system to give Child Money, indicating that the achievement of having a number of children with Spiritual Roots is different from the achievement of total number of children,” he thought to himself.

“That’s to be expected. The difficulty of having children with Spiritual Roots is noticeably higher. I wonder what the next number will be, five? Or perhaps ten?” Lu Changsheng pondered.

He didn’t dwell on it.

If he fixated on such things, setting expectations in his heart would only make it easier to be disappointed.

It was better to let things take their natural course.

After all, even if the system didn’t bestow Child Money, he would still want this child!

Immediately, Lu Changsheng began the part he was most looking forward to.

“System, I want to draw a prize!”

Instantly.

A pale red virtual prize wheel emerged.

“I wonder what I’ll get this time, hopefully a magical treasure.”

Gazing at the prize wheel before him, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.

Due to the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, he now had a particularly strong desire for magical treasures.

He wanted to see if he could get a magical treasure directly from the system wheel to practise the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.

After all, cultivation techniques could give him all kinds of strange and wonderful abilities.

But as long as a magical treasure was decent enough, it would suffice for practising the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.

“Start the draw!”

With a thought, golden light began to spin on the pale red wheel.

After waiting five seconds, the wheel gradually slowed down.

Under Lu Changsheng’s slightly nervous and anticipatory gaze, the golden light settled on ‘Other’.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Gu insect ‘Peach Blossom Gu’!]

[The reward has been sent to the System Space, and the host can check it at any time]

A pattern resembling a butterfly with two peach blossom petals emerged from the big wheel, accompanied by a system notification sound.

“A Gu insect, Peach Blossom Gu?”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised to see this reward.

He wasn’t too disappointed at not getting the cultivation technique or magical treasures he wanted.

After all, he had been disappointed so many times before.

A lottery drawing like this, how could it possibly go according to one’s wishes?

The days ahead were long, and there would be plenty of chances to draw prizes; as long as he worked hard, he would eventually get the rewards he wanted.

He looked at the Peach Blossom Gu in the System Space.

[Gu insect: Peach Blossom Gu]

[Quality: Sky Spirit Gu]

[Description: A peculiar Gu created by the ‘Peach Blossom Immortal’, a cultivator of Gu arts. It can improve the host’s skin and enhance their charisma, creating an extremely attractive appearance to the opposite sex, and it can also increase the host’s fortune in romantic affairs]

Lu Changsheng didn’t know much about Gu insects.

He only knew that among the various arts of cultivation, there were factions similar to beast taming, such as poison Gu, corpse refining, ghost nurturing, and so on.

He hadn’t really looked into this particular area.

But, trusting the system, and seeing the words ‘Sky Spirit Gu’ along with the description of its effects, he felt that this Peach Blossom Gu was not ordinary.

It was definitely an exceptional Gu insect!

“First the Immortal Beauty Technique, and now this Peach Blossom Gu?”

“Does this mean that in the future, I’m destined to rely on my looks to live a life of ease?”

Lu Changsheng smacked his lips.

Having experienced the changes brought on by the Immortal Beauty Technique, he was quite looking forward to the effects of the Peach Blossom Gu and thought it was very good.

After all, he had been practising the Immortal Beauty Technique for over three years to achieve such handsomeness.

Now with the Peach Blossom Gu added to the mix, wouldn’t he be the dream of millions of fairies in the cultivation world?

Especially since the appearance enhancement from the Peach Blossom Gu was targeted at the opposite sex!

Not only was it targeted at the opposite sex, but it could also enhance one’s romantic fortune!

Handsome, with good romantic luck, wouldn’t that be a killer combination?

It was simply made to measure for a future where he would be surrounded by wives and consorts, the nemesis of fairies and witches!

“Romantic fortune!”

“Although the concept of fate is mentioned in the cultivation world, it is nebulous and mysterious, with no detailed explanations.”

“Most books only mention that some people are born with great fate and can turn misfortune into blessing in whatever they do. They might even stumble upon treasures when leaving their homes, charging ahead on the path of cultivation, advancing triumphantly and rapidly.”

“Even though this Peach Blossom Gu can’t improve a person’s overall fate, it can enhance someone’s romantic fortune. I wonder if with this Gu, my future cultivation journey will be blessed with continued romantic success?”

“When the time comes, I should look into more about fate and information on Gu insects.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Although he enjoyed reading various books, he only had surface-level knowledge about the concept of fate and topics like Gu insects, which were considered unorthodox.

Now that he had obtained this Peach Blossom Gu, he was thinking of delving deeper into related knowledge.

Without further thought, Lu Changsheng willed it, and extracted the Peach Blossom Gu from the System Space.
