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

Chapter 136: Chapter 90: Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates! 7749 children!_3

To curse others, one must also pay a price.

It costs years of one’s life!

And with the decline of vital energy and blood, one must cultivate a calm mind for recuperation to recover.

To curse an Energy Refinement Cultivator, one loses one to three years of life!

To curse a Foundation Building Cultivator, ten to thirty years of life are forfeited!

To curse a Core Formation Cultivator, over a hundred years are lost!

...
As for a Nascent Soul True Lord, although it’s impossible to curse them to death, if one wishes, they can still be inflicted with minor annoyances, letting the Malevolent Qi plague them, causing their flesh to wither and their spirits to become feeble.

As for the cost, it depends on one’s own cultivation level, strength, and lifespan.

If one does not possess the power of the Nascent Soul Stage, taking such actions would essentially lead to the decay of the physical body, the extinction of the soul, and consequently, death.

“The Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates, this artifact, how should I put it…”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates in front of him, which slightly resembled a memorial portrait frame, smacked his lips, and for a moment, did not know how to describe it.

Its power was unquestionable.

One only needs to silently ponder over someone to cast a curse from afar, ignoring distance.

It wasn’t like some other curse methods he had seen or heard about in books, which required collecting the target’s hair, blood, or items they had used, among other things.

In other words, being in the Qi Refinement Realm, having met a Foundation Building Cultivator, he could just silently focus on the Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates, sacrifice years of his own lifespan, and then he would be able to curse them to death.

If he were reckless enough not to care about his life, although he might not necessarily be able to curse a Nascent Soul Immortal to death, he could still cause them to be plagued by malevolent curses.

Thus leading to their flesh decaying, their spirits languishing, their strength greatly diminishing, and their cultivation ceasing to advance.

This kind of action, no matter where it’s applied, is incredibly shocking.

But in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, the cost was simply too great, hardly worth it.

After all, an Energy Refinement Cultivator’s lifespan is barely over a hundred years.

If he were to curse a Foundation Building Great Cultivator, he would have to sacrifice at least twenty to thirty years of life.

Moreover, it’s not just about losing years of life; vital energy would also decline, which would affect one’s strength. Cultivation aside, it’s estimated that even childbearing would be impacted.

“However, this treasure does not require a specific owner to claim it; it doesn’t restrict who can use it.”

“If I’m willing, I could completely allow someone else to use it, letting them sacrifice their lifespan to help me curse others.”

“But who would be willing to bear such risks and be trustworthy? It’s too dangerous.”

“Therefore, I shall keep this treasure as a last resort, not to be used unless absolutely necessary.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates in his hand, shook his head slightly, and put it away in his Storage Bag.

He decided that if any unworthy Qi Refinement Realm Cultivator dared to trouble him and pushed him too far, he would carve their portrait into this Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates.

As for Core Formation Immortals, it wasn’t worth it as it would be akin to mutual destruction.

After finishing the draw, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a sense of tastelessness.

He then sat cross-legged and began to meditate on cultivation, to see how much of a boost his daughter’s Eighth Grade Spiritual Root would provide to his cultivation.

After a long while, through experience, Lu Changsheng felt that the boost was less than ten percent.

He estimated that his daughter’s Spiritual Root was at most an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root.

However, Lu Changsheng was quite satisfied with this.

At this stage, just having a Spiritual Root was sufficient; what need was there for anything more?

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Lu Changsheng believed that as long as he worked hard, his talents would eventually reach unprecedented heights.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

That day, the Second Elder came to visit Lu Changsheng’s home again.

After casually chatting, he mentioned that within half a month, he would be returning to Qingzhu Mountain.

He asked Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun, along with others if they wanted to go back with him.

To this, Lu Changsheng naturally expressed his desire to return.

Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen also expressed their wishes to return to Qingzhu Mountain for prenatal care and to call for other sisters to join them.

Lu Changsheng had originally planned to send Guan Xin to Qingzhu Mountain as well, to rest and to look after the children.

But due to the limited seats in the Flying Boat—only three—he had to abandon the idea.

Lu Changsheng also inquired with the Second Elder if it would be okay for infants to ride on the Flying Boat.

He was planning to send his three children back to Qingzhu Mountain to be raised.

The Second Elder said there were no significant issues, but it would be best if Lu Changsheng bought several pieces of Warm Sun Jade.

This Warm Sun Jade is a type of Spirit Jade that can isolate cold and nurture the body.

With it, infants on the Flying Boat would not catch a cold and could sleep more peacefully.

After the Second Elder finished discussing the matters and chatted for a while, he left cheerfully.

His visit was naturally not just about notifying Lu Changsheng about the return trip to Qingzhu Mountain.

Was such a trivial matter worth the trouble for the eminent Second Elder of the Lu Family to come personally?

He was mainly coming over to see if, after being counseled by the Fourth Elder, Lu Changsheng had still been recklessly taking concubines and buying maids and indulging in the company of women in the past six months.

From his observations, he was quite satisfied with Lu Changsheng’s behavior.

The children were still being born, but it was obviously a lot better than before.

Lu Miaoyun also told him that in the past six months, Lu Changsheng had only taken one concubine and bought one maid, which was very reassuring to him.

He felt that the effects of the advice he had the Fourth Elder give were quite good.

Preparing to return in half a month, the next day, Lu Changsheng went out with Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and the other ladies, to stroll the streets.

He planned to buy some gifts to take back.

During this process, Lu Changsheng found the Warm Sun Jade that Second Elder mentioned to be very cheap.

It cost only two Spirit Stones apiece.

He directly purchased thirty-five pieces.

After all, how could a father favor some over others?

Even if he was relatively more fond of certain children.

But for small things like this, if possible, he still tried to treat everyone equally.

So now, with thirty-five children, he simply bought thirty-five pieces, one for each child.

After that, Lu Changsheng strolled through the marketplace, inquiring about the prices of the Ever Youth Elixirs.

His wives had been with him for many years, bearing him so many children; naturally, he had to give them something valuable.

The best among these was, of course, the Ever Youth Elixir.

It had the effect of everlasting youth.

But the Ever Youth Elixir was a Second Rank elixir, and the price was very high.

First Rank elixir medicines for youth preservation included the Ever Youth Elixir and Beautifying Elixir.

The Ever Youth Elixir could preserve one’s appearance, but after about a decade or so, it would still gradually change.

The price was one hundred Spirit Stones.

The Beautifying Elixir had the effect of nourishing yin and beautifying the complexion.

It was beneficial in abundance; taking one every three years would also achieve the effect of the Ever Youth Elixir.

The price was twenty Spirit Stones per pill.

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, and directly purchased sixteen Beautifying Elixirs.

One for each of his current wives.

A total of three hundred and twenty Spirit Stones, the shopkeeper gave him a discount of twenty Spirit Stones, and in the end, he spent three hundred Spirit Stones.

It was only at times like these that Lu Changsheng felt how difficult it was to support so many wives and children.

Ten days later.

Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoyun, and Qu Zhenzhen, each holding a baby, went to live in the large courtyard in the Eastern District, preparing to return to Qingzhu Mountain with Second Elder.

The three Lu Family disciples who accompanied them were all cousins of Lu Miaoyun.

Two of them had also been along on the last trip.

They saw that before they came, Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen were fine.

But when they were returning, not only did their bellies slightly protrude, but they were also each holding a baby with Lu Changsheng.

This left them somewhat confused and astonished.

After that, they asked Lu Changsheng what the situation was, and where the children came from.

In response to these questions, Lu Changsheng didn’t hide anything.

He simply said that he had taken a few concubines here and bought some maids.

These three children had just been born recently, and he planned to take them back to Qingzhu Mountain to raise them.

Hearing this, the three of them exchanged looks with each other.

As Lu Family disciples, they naturally knew of Lu Changsheng’s reputation at Qingzhu Mountain.

He was good with women and prodigious in fathering children.

Knowing was one thing,

But they hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to restlessly procreate everywhere he went.

Especially one of Lu Miaoyun’s cousins, who asked Lu Changsheng how many children he had by now.

Lu Changsheng said there were thirty-five born, with another fourteen on the way, not only leaving the three of them bewildered but also stunned.

Second Elder, who was steering the Flying Boat, couldn’t help his mouth twitching, his face a mixture of bemusement and shock.

Back in the day, when the Lu Family sought a son-in-law,

The requirement was to have fifty children in twenty years.

Now, in just over six years, Lu Changsheng already had forty-nine children.
