Chapter 137: Chapter 91: Seventh Level of Qi Refinement, Lottery!_1
A flying boat descended outside Qingzhu Mountain.
Lu Changsheng and his family of six, alongside the Second Elder and a few others, disembarked from the flying boat and entered Qingzhu Mountain.
Along the way, people noticed Lu Changsheng carrying a child, Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen with slightly bulging bellies also holding infants, which sparked curiosity and some discussion among the onlookers.
“Why are Lu Changsheng and sister Miaoyun still carrying a baby each when they return?”
“They must be their own children.”
“I remember they didn’t take any babies with them when they left.”
“Wasn’t Lu Changsheng supposed to be managing the store in the marketplace? Could it be that he fathered the children while away?”
“Then he’s really good at this, isn’t he? Just popping out kids wherever he goes?”
“Don’t you know? Lu Changsheng really loves having children; just look at sister Miaoyun and that Qu Zhenzhen, they’re pregnant again.”
“Gosh, when it comes to having kids, I only respect Lu Changsheng!”
“If the Family Head had recruited more of these Immortal Seedlings like Lu Changsheng to begin with, who knows how much vitality they could have brought to our Lu Family.”
Many of the Lu Family Disciples talked among themselves.
“Damn, wasn’t Lu Changsheng obliged to have fifty children? Why is he going to such lengths?”
“You can tell, he genuinely loves having kids from the bottom of his heart!”
“I’m still short of thirty-eight children; think if I ask Lu Changsheng to help me have them, would he agree?”
A few of the Immortal Seedlings muttered to themselves upon witnessing this scene.
Lu Changsheng was unaware of others’ curiosity and commentary, but even if he knew, it wouldn’t matter to him.
After all, it’s not like they’re saying anything bad; he genuinely loves having children.
Once back at home, Lu Changsheng settled the three infants.
He went to see his thirty-third and thirty-fourth children.
Even though all the babies looked more or less the same, and having so many children might seem overwhelming.
But as a father, upon returning home, he had to see his children.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng handed out Elixir Medicines and some gifts he had purchased to his wives and concubines.
“Thank you, husband!”
“This item is too precious!”
“You’re being too generous, my husband.”
“Thank you, Sister Miaoyun!”
The wives and concubines were overjoyed and touched upon seeing these gifts and hearing about the effects of the Elixir Medicines.
They had not expected Lu Changsheng to give them such precious elixir medicines.
For them, these were truly divine pills!
Several wives and concubines, moved by the gesture, even burst into tears.
These first wives and concubines, all from the Lu Family’s secular world, married Lu Changsheng back then simply for the rewards offered by the Lu Family, with the idea of contributing to the clan.
At most, there was the notion of gaining status through their children.
Hoping to give birth to children with Spiritual Roots.
They had no real expectations for Lu Changsheng as a husband.
Never could they have imagined that Lu Changsheng would go from a mere breeding son-in-law to the point where he is now.
Their status, along with Lu Changsheng, rose with the tide.
They were living a blissful life beyond their wildest dreams.
Now that Lu Changsheng had reached this status, they were starting to feel inferior, aware that they were no longer worthy of being his wives and concubines.
Still, Lu Changsheng’s treatment of them remained unchanged.
The bestowing of such precious gifts made them feel beyond moved and filled with joy, leading to tears.
They felt that choosing to marry Lu Changsheng was the most correct decision in their lives.
“Why are you crying now?”
Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected that a simple gift would move them to tears and immediately began to console them.
“Husband… You’ve simply been too good to your concubine, making me overwhelmed and so happy…”
Lu Yuzhu said, her face filled with emotion.
“You are my wives and concubines; if I’m not good to you, to whom should I be?”
“This is just the beginning. In the future, our home will become better and better, and life for you and the children will continue to improve.”
Lu Changsheng wiped her tears away and spoke gently.
While these wives and concubines might not epitomize the proverbial ‘wives of poor circumstances,’ Lu Changsheng was not the type to forget old faces upon meeting new ones.
As he always said, let pragmatism be pragmatism.
Since they have become his wives and the mothers of his children, he, Lu Changsheng, would shoulder the responsibilities he ought to.
His words moved the other wives and concubines deeply.
Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen were also greatly touched by this.
This world, at its core, belonged to a feudal society dominated by the law of the jungle.
Although Lu Changsheng had numerous wives and concubines, his behavior was respectable, marking him as one of the few good men who respected women.
After comforting his wives, Lu Changsheng had the children capable of walking line up to receive their gifts.
“Mua, thank you, Daddy!”
The children were clearly delighted at receiving gifts, things to eat and play with.
As for the very young ones who couldn’t walk or speak and were still in their swaddles, Lu Changsheng simply turned the Warm Sun Jade into pendants and hung them around their necks.
After these tasks were completed, seeing the joyous and delighted faces of his wives and children, Lu Changsheng also wore a broad smile, feeling pleased and exceptionally fulfilled.
Such is life, what more could one ask for?
As he was overwhelmed by these strong emotions, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a tremor from his Dantian.
The bottleneck of his Sixth Level Energy Refinement Cultivation Level seemed to loosen at this moment.
Lu Changsheng was immediately overjoyed.
He realized the opportunity to break through from the Energy Refinement Middle Stage to the Late Stage had arrived.
He excused himself from his wives and quickly made his way to his private cultivation chamber to break through to the Energy Refinement Late Stage.
Lu Changsheng took out a bottle of Energy Refining Powder from the Storage Bag and poured it into his mouth.
Then, clutching two Spirit Stones, he closed his eyes and focused, began circulating the Returning Origin Technique, and aimed to break through to the Seventh Level Energy Refinement.
The Energy Refining Powder in his belly made the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian, which was like a stream, seem to boil at this moment, emanating a faint Spiritual Pressure around his body.
