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

Chapter 823: Chapter 302: When Did Enhancing a Spiritual Root Become So Easy?_2

In years past, her son would also give her, his mother, little gifts, but seldom would he give her elixir medicines.

On one hand, the price of elixir medicines was somewhat expensive.

On the other hand, Bi Lake Mountain lacked nothing in the way of elixir medicines for her.

Each month, she even gave the elixirs allotted for her own cultivation to her son, Lu Quanzhen, and her daughter, Lu Caizhen.

With the cultivation speed that Lu Quanzhen possessed, it could be said that his mother’s contributions played a part in it.

“How beautiful these elixir medicines are.”

...
Qu Zhenzhen opened the porcelain bottle and saw the Heaven-replenishing Elixirs inside, her gentle and amiable face showing a look of surprise.

She might not have been greatly interested in cultivation, but over the years, she had gained a substantial understanding of the cultivation world.

She knew that this kind of elixir medicine was no common product; it was extremely rare and precious.

“Quanzhen, Quanzhen!”

She hurriedly got up to stop her son, indicating that the elixir was too precious for her to use.

But her son, Lu Quanzhen, had long since disappeared without a trace.

“Mother, did you nag Brother about his marriage affairs again? I saw Brother escaping on his flying sword in the blink of an eye.”

At that moment, her daughter Lu Caizhen, dressed in a light goose-yellow dress and with a cute face, came over with a giggling smile.

“Hmph, your brother is already so old, can’t I, his mother, mention it? Look at your Brother Yun…”

Qu Zhenzhen said somewhat aggrieved.

“Alright, alright, Mother, don’t be angry. This is the spiritual honey produced by the jade bees I’ve recently started raising. It’s very sweet, and sister and brother both said it tastes good; you should try it.”

Lu Caizhen didn’t pick up on the topic but rather like offering a treasure, took out a bee box and changed the subject.

Originally, she had a bit of interest in beekeeping and Lu Changsheng naturally indulged her, getting her a few hives of flower bees.

Although many hives had died, thanks to their rich parents and their relentless spirit, she eventually became a formal beekeeper.

Usually, it allowed her to produce some honey for the family consumption.

“Mother, give it a try.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Zhenzhen’s face immediately broke into a smile, putting aside the matters concerning her son, Lu Quanzhen.

She had remained happy all these years, having come out from the shadows of her family’s annihilation, in part due to the presence of her loved ones and also due to her own forgetful and optimistic nature.

“It really is delicious!”

Qu Zhenzhen drank a cup of honey water, her eyes curving like crescent moons in joy.

Then, looking at the ink jade porcelain bottle in her hand, she said, “Caizhen, this is the elixir medicine your brother gave you. It’s said to have skin-beautifying and cultivation-boosting effects. Mother doesn’t need it, so you take it and use it.”

This elixir appeared precious, and she couldn’t bear to use it herself.

She also knew that when her son and husband gave her gifts, they wouldn’t take them back once given.

So, she decided to let her daughter use it.

After all, this daughter, like her, loved to play around and was not keen on cultivating, having only recently made a breakthrough to the Fourth Level Energy Refinement.

“Wow, what a beautiful elixir.”

Lu Caizhen also expressed surprise upon seeing the Heaven-replenishing Elixir inside the porcelain bottle.

After all, not only was the elixir crystal-clear and radiant, but it also seemed to have a life of its own. Its luster pulsated faintly, as if breathing, and threads of light flowed through it naturally.

She voiced her refusal, “Mother, since Brother gave it to you, you should use it.”

“It’s okay, Mother doesn’t need it, take it.”

Qu Zhenzhen said affectionately.

“Thank you, Mother!”

Lu Caizhen didn’t refuse any further and affectionately gripped her mother’s wrist.

“By the way, Caizhen, how are things between you and Xuanji now?”

Qu Zhenzhen gently stroked her children’s hair and asked.

She knew that her daughter, Lu Caizhen, was on good terms with Hong Yi’s son, Hong Xuanji, and they were quite close.

“Mother~”

Lu Caizhen immediately behaved bashfully at that remark.

“Mother is just asking.”

Qu Zhenzhen clung to her daughter’s arm and spoke with a coquettish tone.

…

Azure Phoenix Immortal City.

“Hu, we’ve finally arrived.”

Lu Changsheng, his wife Lu Miaoge, and Lu Miaohuan gazed at the city before them, disembarking from the ‘Ancient Moon Spirit Ship.’

It would be another two months before the Spiritual Vessel from Azure Phoenix Immortal City was due to return to Qingyun Market.

But Lu Changsheng still planned to take the Spiritual Vessel home rather than pilot the Spirit Boat himself.

After all, there was no rush over these few months, as traveling by Spiritual Vessel was much safer and more relaxing.

The three rented a courtyard in the Inner City and then leisurely picked out some gifts for their wives and children back home.

Lu Changsheng also planned to purchase a large amount of Demon Beast skeletons, Demon Beast blood, and Demon Beast Crystal Cores, among other materials.

Because of its proximity to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and the large number of Loose Cultivators around, Demon Beast materials were generally 30-40% cheaper in Azure Phoenix Immortal City than in other places.

Whether for Talisman Making, crafting beast-shaped Puppets, or as Hong Lian suggested, for Medicinal Baths, the majority of the raw materials came from Demon Beasts.

Just then, a thick, mysterious vibration surged through Lu Changsheng’s body.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng paused slightly.

He knew this was the fluctuation of a Spiritual Root.

But he had no children being born, and for his grandchildren, unless it was a Top-Grade Spiritual Root, there wouldn’t be such an effect of a Spiritual Root enhancement.

His Mental Spirit stirred slightly as he looked at the system. There was an increase in his grandchildren, but no Spiritual Root was listed.

“Could it be Quanzhen again?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son, Lu Quanzhen.

There was no change in his attributes panel.

This left him somewhat surprised, and he began to review the attribute panels of his children.

After about a quarter of an hour, he finally found out which of his children had a boost in their Spiritual Root.

[Name: Lu Caizhen]

[Life Span: 25/93]

[Talent: fifth-grade Spiritual Root]

[Cultivation Level: Fourth Level Qi Refinement]

[Talent: Beekeeping Compatibility (38%)]

“Is it because of Quanzhen…”

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter’s attribute panel with a slight frown, guessing it had something to do with his son, Lu Quanzhen.

After all, not long ago his son Lu Quanzhen’s Eighth Grade Spiritual Root upgraded to Fourth Grade, and now his daughter Lu Caizhen had gone from Ninth Grade to Fifth Grade.

“Since when did raising a Spiritual Root become so easy…”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, somewhat baffled by the situation.

Apart from the Hope Gu, he hadn’t encountered any Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that could enhance a Spiritual Root.

It had taken him a full twelve years to advance his Spiritual Root from Ninth Grade to Fifth Grade, and seventeen years to progress to Fourth Grade!
