Chapter 177: Xiao Xiyue Leaves, Awakens Blood Talisman Spirit Body

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

During this time, Lu Changsheng’s two new concubines, Zheng Yongwan and Bai Feifei, both became pregnant.

As for the five maids, only Luo Rui was pregnant for now.

This was because Lu Changsheng spent most of his time in the Hongye Valley Marketplace.

At home, he only took minimal care.

However, this efficiency already amazed the Zheng, Bai, and Luo families.

They thought Master Lu really loved having children.

In just two or three months, they were already pregnant.

Especially the head of the Luo family.

He thought it would take much effort for his daughter to gain Master Lu’s favor as a maid.

He was surprised she got pregnant so quickly and was overjoyed.

Immediately, all three families sent supplements for their daughters to nurture their pregnancies.

After all, they gave their daughters to Lu Changsheng as concubines and maids, hoping to deepen the relationship between the families.

Now that they were pregnant, they hoped the children would have spiritual roots and talent, gaining Lu Changsheng’s attention.

On this day, Xiao Xiyue also prepared to return to the Azure Cloud Sect.

She held her daughter and walked out of the Hongye Valley Marketplace with Lu Changsheng.

“Changsheng.”

Looking at Lu Changsheng and her daughter, she felt very reluctant.

She even thought about giving up returning to the sect to stay with Lu Changsheng and their child.

“This separation is just for a better reunion.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Xiyue and spoke softly.

He also felt reluctant.

But he still supported Xiao Xiyue returning to the sect for cultivation.

During this time, because of the child, Xiao Xiyue had been distracted from her cultivation.

“Wangshu can’t call me mother yet. Will she forget me by the time I return?”

The once ethereal Fairy Guanghan, now touched by mortal concerns, had become as sentimental as most mothers.

“If you miss her, write me a letter. I will bring Wangshu to the Azure Cloud Sect to see you.”

Lu Changsheng comforted Xiao Xiyue.

“No, what if something happens on the way to the Azure Cloud Sect?”

Xiao Xiyue shook her head immediately.

Though with Lu Changsheng as her father, there generally wouldn’t be any danger.

But the child was still young, and she didn’t want her daughter to be troubled.

Then, she handed her daughter to Lu Changsheng.

She asked Lu Changsheng to take good care of their daughter.

“Don’t worry, she is our daughter. I will naturally take good care of her.”

Lu Changsheng held their daughter and spoke softly.

His gentle tone carried undeniable firmness.

Xiao Xiyue looked at her daughter for a while before leaving on a crane.

Watching Xiao Xiyue’s figure gradually disappear into the sky, Lu Changsheng felt a bit empty.

After all, they had been together for many years.

Now separated, who knew how long it would be before they met again.

“Sigh.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his child and sighed softly.

He then took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Holding the child, he returned to the small courtyard, tidied up briefly, and restored his true form before going to the Lu Family’s talisman shop.

“Changsheng, what’s this?”

Lu Miaoge saw Lu Changsheng hhlding a baby and was curious.

After all, Lu Changsheng rarely went out with such a young child.

“This is my and Xiao Xiyue’s child.”

Lu Changsheng said directly.

“Fairy Xiao’s child!”

Lu Miaoge was shocked..

She knew her husband was helping Xiao Xiyue with her cultivation.

She also suspected that her husband had a close relationship with Fairy Xiao.

But she didn’t expect they even had a child together.

It was astonishing.

Previously, Lu Changsheng had told her about Xiao Xiyue’s situation.

She had already broken through to Foundation Establishment and was a core disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect.

But now, this Foundation Establishment female cultivator and core disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect had given birth to her husband’s child.

Lu Miaoge didn’t know whetherrto be proud of her husband’s charm or something else.

“Where is Fairy Xiao?”

Lu Miaoge looked around and aaked.

“She has been away for a long time and has returned to the Azure Cloud Sect.”

Lu Changsheng replied.

“Changsheng.”

Hearing this, Lu Miaoge bit her lip..

She thought that Xiao Xiyue’s departure had made Lu Changsheng sad, so she gently hugged her husband.

“I’m fine. It’s just a temporary separation.”

Lu Changsheng smiled, indicating he was okay.

“What a cute child. What’s her name?”

Seeing Lu Changsheng was fine, Lu Miaoge looked at the baby nd asked softly.

“Wangshu, Lu Wangshu.”

Lu Changsheng handed the child to Lu Miaoge..

He brought the child over, hoping Lu Miaoge would take care of er more.

“Lu Wangshu.”

Lu Miaoge held the child gentty, thinking of her daughter, Lu Qingzhu.

“Changsheng, you should have brought Fairy Xiao and the child over earlier.”

Lu Miaoge spoke softly while omforting the child.

“Fairy Xiao would have been more at ease if we had talked and understood each other.”

Lu Miaoge continued..

“Xiyue didn’t mention it before, and I didn’t realize it either.”

Lu Changsheng admitted.

Even though he was the father, the child would definitely be well taken care of.

But Xiao Xiyue also knew he didn’t have time to always look after the child.

She would naturally have the child cared for by his wives and concubines.

Among his wives, Xiao Xiyue had only seen Lu Miaoge..

They had only met a few times and didn’t know each other well.

Xiao Xiyue probably didn’t feel very reassured.

“How could you expect Fairy Xiao to bring it up herself?”

“Next time Fairy Xiao comes, let me meet her and talk.”

“After all, she is willing to have your child and has accepted you.”

Lu Miaoge spoke softly to herrhusband.

She knew her husband had many wives and concubines but didn’t fully understand women’s thoughts.

“You are right.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Xiao Xiyue and he already had a child, only lacking formal recognition.

Sooner or later, she would have to meet and understand his wives and concubines.

Now was a good time to use the child as a bridge.

Time flew by, and three months passed again.

As he was preparing to go to Nine Heavens Immortal City, Lu Changsheng spent most of his time making talismans.

He was preparing talismans for his formation.

However, he did not neglect his other duties.

Every day he worked hard, ensuring the remaining four maids also became pregnant.

The total number of his offspring reached one hundred and fifty-three.

“Husband, you have a letter.”

One day, Lu Miaoyun handed a letter to u Changsheng.

“A letter for me?”

Lu Changsheng took the letter.

It was from Xiao Xiyue.

The letter had a restriction.

If forced open, it would destroy itself.

Lu Changsheng broke the restriction and read the contents.

In the letter, Xiao Xiyue said she was well.

She was assigned a task by the sect and was going to the Green River Market as a supervisor, so she couldn’t come over for a while.

Being a supervisor was a privilege for core disciples, a way to gain experience.

There was generally no danger.

The first few pages were about daily matters and her thoughts of their daughter, Lu Wangshu.

At the end, Xiao Xiyue wrote about her findings on the Blood Talisman Spirit Body and the Green Jade Luan Bird.

The Blood Talisman Spirit Body is a hidden talisman physique.

It naturally aligns with the talisman path.

Those with this physique have exceptional talent in talismans and progress quickly.

Additionally, the Blood Talisman Spirit Body can consume its own essence blood to increase talisman success rates.

Moreover, it can burn essence blood and lifespan to enhance talismans by a grade.

However, both methods greatly deplete one’s own resources.

“Just as I suspected, the Blood Talisman Spirit Body is a talisman physique.”

“Consuming essence blood to increase talisman success rates, burning lifespan and essence blood to enhance talismans.”

Lu Changsheng murmured as he read the information on the Blood Talisman Spirit Body.

The letter also mentioned ways to awaken the Blood Talisman Spirit Body.

One method was through a blood sacrifice ritual to awaken the Spirit Body.

However, Xiao Xiyue did not detail this blood sacrifice ritual.

Another method was blood refinement, using Second-Tier spirit blood to stimulate the body and activate the Spirit Body.

The spirit blood used in this method must be gentle in nature.

Otherwise, the stimulation process might cause damage to oneself.

“Blood Sacrifice Ritual, Blood Refining Method.”

“This Blood Talisman Spirit Body, whether in effect or awakening method, as its name suggests, is related to blood.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the letter about the Blood Talisman Spirit Body information and awakening method, sighing involuntarily.

Xiao Xiyue wrote down the second Blood Refining Method.

To Lu Changsheng, it seemed quite simple.

He planned to buy some Second-Tier spirit blood later, following the method in the letter, to awaken his Spirit Body.

He wanted to see what the effect of this ‘Blood Talisman Spirit Body’ was.

As for the spirit blood needing to be gentle, Lu Changsheng ignored it.

He cultivated the Hundred Refined Body Technique, his body comparable to a Top-Tier Artifact.

He wasn’t worried about such stimulation causing any harm to himself.

The letter also included information about the Green Jade Luan Bird’s hatching and feeding.

For hatching, use Sky Blue Warm Jade to make a nest.

Then use Qiong Jade Snow Lotus, Red Sun Snow Ginseng, Green Scale Snake Gall Liquid, Yuan Chen Crystal Powder, and Spirit Stone Powder to make a Spirit Liquid, and pour it into the Sky Blue Warm Jade nest.

Place the Green Jade Luan Bird’s egg in the nest, then use Qi and magic power to nurture it daily. It would take about three to six months to hatch the spirit pet egg.

“Hatching a spirit pet egg is really not easy.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the hatching method, shaking his head and sighing.

Just the materials alone would cost thousands of Spirit Stones.

And the price of this Green Jade Luan Bird egg was estimated to be only a few thousand Spirit Stones.

This is why many people are unwilling to raise spirit pets.

Hatching, feeding, and waiting for growth not only take time and effort but also money.

“But this Qiong Jade Snow Lotus and Red Sun Snow Ginseng, I remember seeing them in Meng Yibai’s Storage Bag.”

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

He vaguely remembered seeing these spiritual herbs and materials when cleaning out Meng Yibai’s Storage Bag.

And he hadn’t dealt with these spiritual herbs and materials yet.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng started searching for these spiritual herbs and materials from his several Storage Bags.

Moments later.

Lu Changsheng found the materials needed to prepare the hatching of the Green Jade Luan Bird from the Storage Bag.

“It seems Meng Yibai had prepared all of these, but I didn’t know.”

Lu Changsheng looked at these spiritual herbs and materials, thinking to himself.

Then he went to his small courtyard and made a nest with Sky Blue Warm Jade.

Then he prepared the Spirit Liquid according to the recipe and placed the pet egg inside.

As for nurturing with magic power, Lu Changsheng called Lu Miaoyun.

He asked his wife, Lu Miaoyun, to nurture and tak care of the pet egg every day.

After all, it needed to be nurtured for three to six months to hatch the Green Jade Luan Bird.

He didn’t have the leisure for that and wouldn’t be home all the time, so he left it to his wife.

Once the Green Jade Luan Bird hatched, it would be given to Lu Miaoyun to take care of.

“Husband, what kind of spirit beast egg is this?”

Lu Miaoyun asked curiously aftr hearing Lu Changsheng’s instructions.

“The seller said it’s some kind of avian Demon beast egg.”

“As for what kind of Demon beast specifically, you’ll know when it hatches, Yun’er.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

He wasn’t deliberately hiding it.

He just thought it added a bit of anticipation.

Lu Miaoyun didn’t ask any morequestions, saying she would take good care of the spirit pet egg.

Half a month later.

Lu Changsheng spent 2,400 Spirit Stones to buy three Gourds of spirit blood.

This so-called Second-Tier spirit blood was actually the blood of Second-Tier Demon beasts.

At the Hongye Valley Marketplace, unless you specified a particular Demon beast’s blood, you could buy it.

“Three Gourds of blood should be enough.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his three Gourds of Demon beast blood, thinking to himself.

Then he went to his practice room, took out a large vat, and poured all the blood from one Gourd into it.

This Gourd of spirit blood naturally wasn’t as little as it seemed.

These Gourds, like Storage Bags, could hold several vats of liquid.

Pouring one Gourd of spirit blood filled more than half of the large vat.

“Gurgle, gurgle——”

This spirit blood came from a Demon beast called the Flame Lion.

So this blood was like magma, emitting rolling heat.

Lu Changsheng’s expression remained calm as he undressed and entered the large vat.

Then he followed the blood refining method written by Xiao Xiyue, using the spirit blood to stimulate his body.

During this process, the Demon beast blood continuously stimulated every inch of his skin and flesh, making his body appear covered with winding blood-colored runes.

It looked mysterious and terrifying.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz——”

As Lu Changsheng continued to operate the blood refining method, the Demon beast blood in the large vat penetrated his body through his pores, traveling along his meridians to his dantian.

In his dantian, the originally faint blood pattern composed of thin threads gradually became clear during this process.

Lu Changsheng knew that once this blood pattern was activated, the Blood Talisman Spirit Body would successfully awaken.

He opened his eyes, pointed a finger, and the two Gourds on either side automatically opened, pouring the spirit blood directly into the large vat.

These three kinds of spirit blood were already very domineering.

Mixed together, they were even more stimulating to the body.

However, Lu Changsheng was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and practiced the Hundred Refined Body Technique, so he naturally wasn’t afraid of this mere Demon beast blood.

As the spirit blood continued to surge, stimulating the blood pattern in his dantian, the pattern became clearer, forming a mysterious rhythm.

After a long time.

“Buzz——”

A strange aura spread from within Lu Changsheng’s body.

The blood pattern in his dantian became fully visible and clear.

His body was also covered in strange and mysterious blood-colored runes at this moment.

But after a while, these blood-colored runes gradually dimmed and disappeared.

“So this is the Blood Talisman Spirit Body.”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, knowing he had successfully awakened the Blood Talisman Spirit Body.
