Chapter 257: Chapter 128: Giving Birth to a Spiritual Body, Double Lottery Draw!_1
After paying respects to his parents with Qu Zhenzhen, Lu Changsheng returned to Ruyi County City.
He stayed in Ruyi County City for three days, accompanying his wives and children, before leaving with Xia Zhizue and Qu Zhenzhen.
He did not return to Qingzhu Mountain.
Instead, he went directly to Nine Dragons Market.
One reason was to avoid making an extra trip.
Additionally, he would have use for this flying boat later on.
He needed to send several maids and children from the marketplace into the mundane world.
Five days later, the flying boat descended outside Nine Dragons Market.
After securing temporary identity plaques for the two women, Lu Changsheng entered the marketplace.
Back when he left Qingzhu Mountain, seven of the nine pregnant women had already given birth.
The remaining two would also give birth in a couple of months.
“Now I already have eighteen children with a Spiritual Root, but I don’t know if these two children will have Spiritual Roots.”
Lu Changsheng felt somewhat expectant in his heart.
Both maids were purchased from White Jade Tower and possessed Ninth Grade Spiritual Roots.
Therefore, there was a not so small chance that the children in their wombs would have Spiritual Roots.
However, it was very unlikely for both to possess Spiritual Roots.
Lu Changsheng did not pay too much attention to it.
After settling Qu Zhenzhen and Xia Zhizue, Lu Changsheng took Xia Zhizue to the neighboring courtyard.
That was the courtyard where Xia Long once lived.
He wanted his daughter to see her father’s former residence.
Looking at the deserted courtyard covered in dust, and thinking of her deceased father, Xia Zhizue felt profound grief and her eyes reddened.
Usually unable to bear such scenes, Lu Changsheng sighed as well.
He could only comfort her as much as possible.
He let her cry out for her father all night, filling the void in her spirit.
The next day, Lu Changsheng went to the Lu Family compound in the Eastern District.
He met the already present Second Elder, and took back control of the Spiritual Talisman Shop.
In the half year he had been gone, without the supply of Supreme Talismans from the Fourth Elder and a decrease in Superior Talismans, the shop’s business inevitably suffered.
Faced with this situation, the Lu Family’s approach was straightforward.
Hold promotions and provide more Superior and Supreme Talismans, allowing the business to begin to recover.
…
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
In these three months, only Xiaohuang, who had been left behind, was pregnant.
It wasn’t that Lu Changsheng didn’t want to have more children.
The maids with Spiritual Roots had just given birth not long ago and needed to recuperate.
Xia Zhizue’s cultivation had just broken through to the Third Level of Qi Refinement.
Lu Changsheng planned to wait until she reached the Fourth Level of Qi Refinement and the Middle Stage before considering having children again.
As for ordinary maids like Bai He and Haitang who lacked Spiritual Roots, now that he had so many wives and maids, Lu Changsheng planned not to have any more children with them.
After all, he believed in quality over quantity.
“I’ve been out for over three months now; it’s time to go back.”
In the Spiritual Talisman Shop, after completing his meditation and cultivation, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and exhaled lightly.
He prepared to return to Qingzhu Mountain and see his wives and children.
He did not go directly back to Qingzhu Mountain.
Instead, he steered the flying boat, taking Qu Zhenzhen and sending maids like Bai He and Haitang as well as a group of children to the secular world.
As for Xia Zhizue, he temporarily settled her in Nine Dragons Market.
One reason was that Nine Dragons Market needed someone to look after it.
Additionally, having just married Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan not long ago, it seemed somewhat improper to bring someone back from outside the house so soon.
After settling the maids and children into the mundane world and staying for two days, Lu Changsheng took Qu Zhenzhen back to Qingzhu Mountain.
Upon returning to Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Changsheng gave the Spirit Boat back.
He stayed at home for three days, accompanying his wives and children.
The Yin Yang Harmony Technique’s Five Aggregates Proliferation Method also came into play at this moment.
However, the Five Aggregates Proliferation Method was not a sure hit.
It merely increased the odds.
Lu Changsheng didn’t know how effective it had been over these three days.
Three days later, amidst the reluctance of his wives, Lu Changsheng rode the Iron Feather Eagle, taking Jiang Louyue back to Nine Dragons Market.
…
Qingyun Sect.
Caiyun Peak, Mingyue Residence.
Xiao Xiyue was dressed in a long, white gown, with a cool and ethereal demeanor, resembling a fairy from the Moon Palace.
“Clouds are heartless, the moon is heartless.”
She looked at the “Supreme Forgetful Love Technique” she was cultivating
She had completely understood the methods in the technique and even cultivated it to the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement.
But when it came to the states of mind and the artistic conception of the technique, she could never grasp the essentials and failed to comprehend them.
After pondering for a long while, Xiao Xiyue let out a soft sigh, took the cultivation technique, and went to the highest palace at the top of Caiyun Peak.
Upon reaching the palace, she saw a tall, slender, and breathtakingly beautiful figure in colorful garments standing in a daze at the railing, gazing into the distance.
From the side, one could discern her magnificent curves under the loose colorful garments, resembling a valley among rolling hills.
Her long, silky, jet-black hair hung down to her waist, almost covering her mature and full curves.
“Master.”
Xiao Xiyue called out respectfully.
She couldn’t remember when it started, maybe three or four years ago; her master began to enjoy standing alone, gazing into the distance.
“Xi Yue, you’ve come. Is there something you need?”
Yun Wanshang turned her head to look at her, her stunning face revealing a gentle smile.
“Master, I’ve disappointed you. I’m still unable to grasp the state of mind of the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique.”
Xiao Xiyue held out the technique in her hand and spoke softly.
“Sigh.”
Yun Wanshang looked at her disciple who once was lively and clever, now cool and indifferent due to the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, her beautiful eyes tranquilly impassive, and her demeanor pure and saintly, and she let out a slight sigh.
“Xi Yue, the first layer state of mind of the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique is ‘Clouds are heartless, the moon is heartless.’ What’s your understanding of it?”
Yun Wanshang asked.
“Both the clouds and the moon are in the sky, yet the moon is thousands of miles away from the clouds, with no interrelation between the two. Naturally, the clouds are heartless, and so is the moon.”
Xiao Xiyue replied, explaining her understanding.
