Chapter 155: Chapter 97: Baby Birth Lottery! (Reset)_1
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.
Due to the daily tasks of crafting Second Rank Spirit Talismans and creating puppets, Lu Changsheng’s days became even busier.
But busy as he was, he never forgot what was truly important.
In those past months, he had successfully sired children with both Jiang Louyue and Yu Yao.
For maids like these, with Spiritual Roots, Lu Changsheng would always give them special attention.
At the same time, Little Qing and the maid Cang Lan, under his favor, had also conceived their second child.
One day, on the third floor of the Spiritual Talisman Shop.
After completing the daily crafting of talismans, Lu Changsheng went to the storage room to polish puppet components with his Spiritual Power.
In a corner nearby, various puppet parts were laid out.
Although the materials for a Second Rank Puppet weren’t entirely complete, it didn’t stop Lu Changsheng from crafting some components in his spare time.
After all, this wasn’t something that could be finished in a month or two.
It was a long-term project.
He estimated it would take about three or four months, or perhaps even longer.
At that moment, quite abruptly,
a profound and mysterious pulsation arose in Lu Changsheng.
“Hmm? A pulsation from the Spiritual Root!?”
“Xiao Yueru’s child has been born.”
“This child has a Spiritual Root!”
“And it’s… a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root!”
Lu Changsheng sensed this pulsation, first in surprise, then immediately his face lit up with joy.
Having experienced the surge from a Spiritual Root enhancement so many times, Lu Changsheng could more or less judge the quality of the child’s Spiritual Root based on the feeling.
Feeling this surge of the Spiritual Root now,
and keeping in mind the timeline of his wives and concubines’ pregnancies,
he immediately knew that Xiao Yueru’s child had been born,
and that it possessed a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root.
This made Lu Changsheng’s heart surge with excitement and joy.
However excited, Lu Changsheng did not rush home to see the child right away.
After all, it wouldn’t do for him to wait at home or rush back every time a child with a Spiritual Root was born.
Once or twice was fine, but too often it would arouse suspicion.
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath to temper his inner delight.
He set the component aside and began to meditate and cultivate.
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and could feel that his speed of cultivation had markedly increased from before.
It had improved by about ten percent.
“I feel that with two or three more Seventh Grade Spiritual Roots, my own Spiritual Root would be able to ascend to the Sixth Grade!”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
He felt that if he just continued to expand his family peacefully, achieving a Middle Grade Spiritual Root was not far off.
After that, Lu Changsheng continued working on the screws in his hand.
But, thinking of the child at home, his heart felt so restless that he couldn’t even focus on screwing properly anymore.
Seeing the outside getting dark, Lu Changsheng stood up and went straight home to see the child.
Just as he returned home, one of his wives told him that Xiao Yueru had given birth.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng went to the backyard to visit.
Looking at his daughter with a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root, Lu Changsheng’s delight grew the more he looked at her.
This scene filled Xiao Yueru with smiling happiness,
and made the other women envious.
They thought to themselves that their lord husband truly loved the children,
and resolved to bear him many more.
inside a certain cave dwelling,
a skinny young man, holding a black jar, was overjoyed.
Within the jar, there was a blood-red Gu worm, seemingly on its last breath, languishing half-dead.
“This is the Lockheart Gu!”
“Anyone bitten by the Lockheart Gu will fall in love with its host!”
“My grandmother said before she passed away that our ancestor was just a destitute cultivator, but it was by a stroke of luck he obtained this Lockheart Gu, which made one fairy after another fall for him, enabling him to eventually become a Nascent Soul Immortal!”
The exuberant young man said.
Then, he set the jar down and began to form a Spiritual Art with his hands, dripping a drop of his essence blood from his fingertips.
Upon sight of fresh blood, the previously listless blood-red Gu worm suddenly sprang to life, licking the droplet hungrily.
Its body turned even more brilliantly translucent, resembling a piece of bright blood jade.
“Come, little fellow.”
The skinny young man watched as the blood-red Gu worm finished licking up his essence blood, pulled out a dagger, and made a cut on his palm.
Then the Gu worm burrowed straight into the flesh of his palm.
“The Lockheart Gu can bind at most three people, and they cannot be much higher in cultivation than oneself,”
“It was because our ancestor got too greedy that the Lockheart Gu became ineffective, leading his numerous wives to strike him down in anger, which ultimately led to his tragic death.”
“Therefore, I must use it with utmost caution and choose the targets carefully.”
The skinny young man gazed at the Lockheart Gu in his palm, muttering to himself.
He visualized a handsome and tall young man in his mind.
In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.
In that time, Lu Changsheng’s life remained steady, with no significant changes.
Thinking about his two wives who had come with him from Qing Zhu Mountain, it was almost time for them to return.
They had been nurturing their pregnancies for over half a year, and Lu Changsheng paid them extra attention to ensure both women conceived successfully.
Shao Yuyao also conceived her second child with his favor,
bringing the total number of his children to fifty-eight!
On the third floor of the Spiritual Talisman Shop.
Lu Changsheng was assembling a humanoid puppet.
The puppet was nearly two meters tall,
pitch-black all over, gleaming with a metallic luster.
One arm held a sword, the other a shield, and it bore five black javelins on its back.
“If there are any extra magic artifacts in the future, they could also be directly installed on this puppet,”
“Though it won’t be able to unleash the full power of the magic artifacts, the effect won’t be too far off.”
