Chapter Index

    In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

    On this day, Lu Changsheng’s twenty-second child was born.

    Like most of the children, it had no Spirit Root.

    Lu Changsheng had grown accustomed to children not having Spirit Roots, having no expectations.

    If a child had a Spirit Root, he considered it a pleasant surprise.

    However.

    A surprise is something that comes unexpectedly and suddenly.

    When his twenty-third child was born a month later, he felt a mysterious and indescribable thrill.

    It was the excitement of a child having a Spirit Root.

    And this time, the thrill brought him an inexplicable feeling of mystery.

    It made Lu Changsheng feel in his core that something had changed.

    His Spirit Root had advanced!

    With the addition of this child’s Spirit Root, his Spirit Root advanced from Ninth-Tier to Eighth-Tier!

    At the same time, a system prompt sounded.

    “Congratulations to the host for giving birth to three children with Spirit Roots. You have earned one lottery draw!”

    “Great, great, great!”

    The thrill of Spirit Root advancement and the system prompt brought Lu Changsheng immense joy and excitement.

    He didn’t expect this child, born without expectations, to have a Spirit Root and allow his to advance.

    Moreover, the system handed out a reward as well.

    This sudden unexpected joy, two surprises at once, made him uncontrollably excited and delighted.

    “Husband, what’s wrong with you?”

    His wife, not knowing what was happening, asked when Lu Changsheng suddenly appeared so happy.

    Lu Changsheng realized he was overly excited.

    The surprise was too sudden and unexpected, catching him off guard.

    “I figured out a problem with a talisman that had troubled me for a while, so I’m momentarily happy and excited,”

    Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

    “Congratulations, Husband.”

    “Congratulations, Husband.”

    “Congratulations, Husband.”

    Several wives heard this and smiled, offering their congratulations without suspicion.

    “What’s there to congratulate? The Lu Family has another child. That’s a joyous event!”

    Lu Changsheng waved his hand.

    He thought to himself that he still needed to train his mindset, to remain unmovable even if a mountain collapsed before him.

    Otherwise, if this happened more often, it would be easy for someone to notice.

    He entered the delivery room and immediately saw the midwife holding a swaddled baby.

    “Congratulations, Young Master, it’s a girl,”

    said the midwife to Lu Changsheng.

    “A girl? A girl is fine, considering the last two were boys.”

    Lu Changsheng didn’t mind.

    He had no strong feelings about having sons or daughters.

    He took the child from the midwife.

    Perhaps because he was a cultivator and practiced the Immortal Grace Technique, and because the child’s mother had better conditions during pregnancy,

    this child looked much better, not like ordinary newborns all wrinkled.

    Even knowing the child had a Spirit Root, Lu Changsheng was very happy but did not show it too obviously.

    After looking at the child for a while, Lu Changsheng left, going to his study.

    “The birth of this child brings a system gift, meaning having children with Spirit Roots is a different achievement from the total number of children.”

    “That’s normal. Children with Spirit Roots are clearly more challenging. I wonder what the next number is – five or ten?”

    Lu Changsheng thought quietly.

    He did not dwell on it.

    If he thought about these things too much, he’d have expectations and then easily be disappointed.

    Better to take things naturally.

    After all, he would have had this child whether the system gave a gift or not!

    Immediately, Lu Changsheng began the part he anticipated most.

    “System, I want to draw!”

    Suddenly.

    A pale-red virtual prize wheel appeared.

    “I wonder what I’ll draw this time. Hopefully, a Magical Treasure,”

    Lu Changsheng thought, taking a deep breath.

    Due to the Hundred Refined Body Technique, he especially hoped for a Magical Treasure.

    He wanted to see if the system could directly give him a Magical Treasure to practice the Hundred Refined Body Technique.

    After all, the technique could produce countless variations,

    but as long as the Magical Treasure was decent, it could be used for the Hundred Refined Body Technique.

    “Start the draw!”

    With a thought, the golden light began to spin on the pale-red wheel.

    After five seconds, the wheel started to slow down.

    In Lu Changsheng’s tense and expectant gaze, the golden light landed on ‘Other.’

    “Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Gu Worm ‘Peach Blossom Gu’!”

    “Reward delivered to system space, host may check anytime.”

    A butterfly pattern resembling two peach petals appeared from the wheel, accompanied by a system notification.

    “Gu Worm, Peach Blossom Gu?”

    Lu Changsheng frowned slightly at the reward.

    Not getting the desired technique or Magical Treasure didn’t disappoint him much.

    After being disappointed many times.

    Lottery draws can’t always yield what one wants.

    The future is long, and there will be plenty of lottery chances. With enough effort, he can eventually get the rewards he desires.

    He looked at the Peach Blossom Gu in system space.

    “Gu Worm: Peach Blossom Gu”

    “Quality: Heavenly Spirit Gu”

    “Description: A unique Gu created by the Gu Path cultivator ‘Peach Blossom Immortal.’ It can improve the host’s skin, enhance charisma, shape the host’s appearance to be highly attractive to the opposite sex, and enhance the host’s romantic luck.”

    Lu Changsheng didn’t know much about Gu Worms.

    He only knew that among the many arts of cultivation, there were schools similar to Beast Taming, like Gu Poison, Corpse Refining, Ghost Raising, etc.

    He had not really explored these areas before.

    But trusting the system, the ‘Heavenly Spirit Gu’ quality, and the description, he felt this Peach Blossom Gu was extraordinary.

    It must be a top-quality Gu Worm.

    “First, the Immortal Grace Technique, now the Peach Blossom Gu?”

    “Does this mean I’m destined to rely on my looks to get by in the future?”

    Lu Changsheng smacked his lips.

    Having experienced the changes from the Immortal Grace Technique, he looked forward to the Peach Blossom Gu’s effects.

    After practicing the Immortal Grace Technique for over three years, he was already this handsome.

    With the Peach Blossom Gu now, isn’t he bound to be the dream of countless fairies in the cultivation world?

    Especially since the Peach Blossom Gu enhances looks specifically for the opposite sex!

    Not only affecting appearance but also increasing romantic luck.

    Looking handsome with good romantic luck, it’s an absolute killer combination.

    It’s practically tailor-made for him, the future fairy slayer expanding his harem!

    “Romantic luck!”

    “Romantic luck is a form of fortune. In this cultivation world, fortune is talked about but it’s mysterious, with no detailed explanation.”

    “Most books simply mention that some people are born with great fortune, always avoiding disasters, even finding treasures, advancing rapidly on their cultivation path, singing praise all the way.”

    “Though the Peach Blossom Gu can’t enhance a person’s fortune, it can enhance romantic luck. I wonder if with it, my cultivation journey will be full of romantic opportunities?”

    “I should look more into any information on fortune and Gu Worms.”

    Lu Changsheng considered.

    Although he usually liked to read various books, he didn’t know much about the concept of fortune or Gu Worms.

    Getting the Peach Blossom Gu made him think to learn more about it.

    Without further thought, Lu Changsheng willed the Peach Blossom Gu from system space.
