Chapter 181: 105: The More Children, the Better, No Need for Others to Provide for Old Age!_2
But now, he felt as if Lu Changsheng really was proving it through his actions.
Indicating that his words were not empty.
Thinking about the speed at which Lu Changsheng married and had children, Lu Yuanding couldn’t help but twitch his mouth slightly.
Suddenly feeling somewhat relieved that his daughter, Lu Miaohuan, hadn’t married Lu Changsheng.
Otherwise, by now she would probably already be on her third child.
After returning to Qingzhu Mountain,
Lu Changsheng lived a life of seclusion and minimal outings.
Every day was spent cultivating, making talisman, and spending time with his wives and children.
Occasionally, he would chat with Li Feiyu and watch him train the kids in martial arts.
However, the children were still young and at this stage, martial arts training was about building a foundation.
They hadn’t truly started practicing martial arts yet.
To actually begin martial arts training, they would need to wait until they were around eleven or twelve years old, when their bodies had grown sufficiently.
In the blink of an eye, over a month had passed.
During this month and a bit, the children in the wombs of Jiang Louyue and Yu Yao were born.
Jiang Louyue’s child had a Spiritual Root,
but it was only a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root.
While the rate at which Lu Changsheng’s children grew had slowed compared to the previous year, it continued to increase steadily.
In recent days, the sixty-third child had been conceived.
Today was also the day of the Lu Family’s Spiritual Root testing ceremony.
Lu Changsheng had five children participating in this ceremony.
The results of the test for the five children were as he expected.
Only little seventh, Lu Xianzhi, was detected to have a Spiritual Root.
The quality of the Spiritual Root was also as he had guessed.
A Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, biased toward the wood element.
Even though it was the lowest Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, it still made his mother, Lu Yuzhu, extremely happy.
And it made Lu Changsheng’s other wives and maids incredibly envious.
After all, having a Spiritual Root, no matter how low-grade, was still a Spiritual Root, with the potential for cultivation in the future.
From now on, their fates would no longer align with mere mortals; theirs would be the path of immortals!
Considering the feelings of his other wives and children, Lu Changsheng didn’t celebrate extravagantly.
Things continued as usual,
as if it was just a regular test.
As for Lu Xianzhi’s cultivation, there was no rush right now.
He was too young, only six years old,
His body had not yet fully developed,
and starting cultivation too early was not a good thing.
In the cultivation world, children typically began their cultivation journey at the age of twelve.
However, even at this stage, they could start laying a foundation—
using treasures of heaven and earth to nourish the body and meridians to build a solid foundation, giving the child a head start for the future.
Lu Changsheng wasn’t stingy,
he would allocate ten Spirit Stones each month to buy Elixir Medicines to strengthen Lu Xianzhi’s body and lay a foundation for cultivation.
After all, he was the first child to possess a Spiritual Root.
Even if it was only a Ninth Grade, Lu Changsheng was willing to cultivate him properly,
Moreover, after Lu Xianzhi started cultivating, the improvement in his Cultivation Level would also benefit Lu Changsheng,
essentially making it money spent on himself in the end.
“Sigh, no wonder ordinary cultivators are reluctant to marry and have children,”
“If the child has a Spiritual Root, you have to cultivate it,”
“But even the most basic cultivation would cost several Spirit Stones a month, and raising a child from infancy to adulthood is no small sum,”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh.
People like Lu Ping’an practicing martial arts hardly spent any money;
Eating and drinking Spirit Rice and spiritual meals every day was enough for them to become martial arts prodigies.
But it was different for someone like Lu Xianzhi,
Considering that he now had seven children with Spiritual Roots,
when the remaining six children were detected to have Spiritual Roots and needed financial cultivation for their foundations,
that would mean an extra seventy Spirit Stones spent each month,
And as the number of children with Spiritual Roots increased and they started real cultivation, this expense would continue to grow.
“Indeed, raising children is never easy, no matter where one is,”
“The more you have, the harder it is to support them,”
Lu Changsheng shook his head in reflection,
If he were just an ordinary Talisman Master,
Even a superior one wouldn’t dare to have so many children,
Because not only is there an initial investment for learning the craft,
But continuous expenses are also necessary for practice and improving the success rate of talisman making,
He simply couldn’t afford the luxury of not worrying about extra expenses like he could.
“However, the more children, the better,”
“No need for others to provide for my old age!”
“Once the children grow up, I’ll be able to relax,”
Lu Changsheng consoled himself.
Late at night.
After the deed!
“Husband, do you think Quanzhen, Yuzhen, and Caizhen have Spiritual Roots?”
Qu Zhenzhen leaned lazily against Lu Changsheng’s chest, her eyes brimming with askance,
Lu Xianzhi’s detection of a Spiritual Root today had made her think of her own three children.
“Regardless of whether they have Spiritual Roots, they are our children,”
Lu Changsheng gently caressed her soft skin,
Qu Zhenzhen had borne him three children, two of whom had Spiritual Roots,
But he didn’t want his wives to focus too much on the matter of the children’s Spiritual Roots.
After all, he himself had struggled and suffered with this issue before,
It wasn’t until he had many children, most of whom didn’t have Spiritual Roots, that he gradually let go and moved on.
The kind of nature Qu Zhenzhen had, if she thought too much, it would consume her every day,
“Yes,”
At Lu Changsheng’s words, Qu Zhenzhen snuggled up to him and softly nodded,
She didn’t have much interest in cultivation,
And she wasn’t particularly concerned about whether the children had Spiritual Roots or not,
She just wanted to live a simple life with the person she loved,
It was just that she thought Lu Changsheng would prefer children with Spiritual Roots,
After all, Lu Changsheng often touted the benefits of having many children, not only for a full house,
But to also hopefully birth children with good Spiritual Root potential and then cultivate them well.
Now hearing Lu Changsheng say this, she felt much more at ease.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed by.
One day, in the practice room,
“Huff!”
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air,
Seven threads of sword Qi flowed around his body, visible both within and outside, sharp and ethereal,
