Chapter 593: Lu Baixi’s Breakthrough, Three-Treasure Transformation Pearl!

Leaving the Pill Refinement Hall, Lu Changsheng saw his wife, Meng Xiaochan, teaching their daughter, Lu Mengchan, to read and identify spiritual herbs and poisons.

Nearby, a silver-white Flying Bear cub was lying down, looking utterly adorable. The scene was very heartwarming.

“Lu Lang.”

“Dad.”

Mother and daughter saw Lu Changsheng and immediately called out joyfully.

“Xiaochan, Meng’er.”

Lu Changsheng stepped forward to embrace his wife and daughter.

“How did refining the pills go, Lu Lang? Was it smooth?”

Meng Xiaochan softly asked, knowing that Lu Changsheng had been working on refining Condensing Crystal Pills these days.

“It went alright. I managed to produce three pills.”

Lu Changsheng replied with a smile.

“What?”

Meng Xiaochan was slightly stunned.

Although she wasn’t a pill refiner, she knew enough to understand that an entire furnace of Condensing Crystal Pills usually yields at most three.

For Lu Changsheng to produce three pills on his first attempt at refining Condensing Crystal Pills was… remarkable.

If it were anyone else, she would have thought they were joking or bragging.

But she completely trusted Lu Changsheng’s words!

“As expected of Lu Lang—he succeeded in producing Condensing Crystal Pills on his first try. Even the chief pill refiner of the sect needed multiple attempts to get it right when they first tried.”

Meng Xiaochan’s beautiful eyes were full of admiration, love, and pride as she spoke.

“Dad is the best!”

Lu Mengchan, with her twin hair buns, looked up and said, her expression adorable.

Growing up influenced by her mother, Meng Xiaochan, Bai Ling, and Lu Linghe, she had developed a deep sense of worship toward her father, Lu Changsheng, believing him to be unparalleled and omnipotent.

“Haha.”

Lu Changsheng laughed as he playfully pinched her smooth cheeks and then asked his wife about Lu Baixi’s breakthrough.

“Baixi is still in the process of breaking through.”

Meng Xiaochan replied.

“Let’s go check on her.”

Lu Changsheng led both mother and daughter to go see.

As the three of them approached a side hall, the Flying Bear began to tremble fearfully, not daring to go forward.

This was due to the energy from Lu Baixi’s breakthrough, causing the bear to feel an innate bloodline suppression.

“Looks like the spirit pets in our family need to have at least a Heaven-Tier bloodline; otherwise, they’ll frequently be suppressed by bloodline pressure.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Previously, when his daughter took a liking to the Flying Bear, he thought its Earth-Tier bloodline was sufficient.

But now, he felt it was lacking.

Seeing her pet’s condition, Lu Mengchan’s little face showed concern as she called out, “Qiuqiu!”

“Your sister Baixi is breaking through, so Qiuqiu is a bit scared.”

Lu Changsheng explained, then lifted his hand to shield the bear from the overwhelming aura.

However, the bear’s instincts and spiritual sense made it still fearful of going forward.

“Even though this Flying Bear isn’t inherently timid, continuing like this might make it grow up to be so.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.

“Husband.”

“Brother.”

Hong Lian and Bai Ling were waiting outside the hall, observing Lu Baixi’s breakthrough. Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, they immediately greeted him.

“How is Baixi’s breakthrough going?”

Lu Changsheng looked through the room and saw his daughter sitting cross-legged, her entire body shrouded in a holy white light.

The light was like smoke and mist, resembling a white snake coiled around her. She looked divine and peaceful, with the snake-like mark on her forehead faintly pulsing as if breathing.

If one looked closely, they might notice she seemed to have grown slightly taller.

“There shouldn’t be any problems. Baixi has accumulated so much, her foundation is solid, and the breakthrough process is very natural. It might just take a bit longer.”

Hong Lian replied.

Lu Changsheng nodded, agreeing that his daughter shouldn’t face any problems.

Even though her path was different from others’,

the foundation she had was remarkable.

Just look at the phenomenon accompanying her breakthrough—how many Foundation Establishment cultivators could manifest such a spectacle?

“Did refining the Condensing Crystal Pills go smoothly, husband?”

At this point, Hong Lian asked Lu Changsheng about his pill refinement.

Condensing Crystal Pills were rare and precious, and every single one was highly valued.

The Lu Family, aside from Lu Quanzhen, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, Bai LLng, all required these pills in the future.

“It went alright. I managed to produce three pills.”

Lu Changsheng replied with a smile.

“What?”

Even Hong Lian, who was usually calm and elegant, became visibly surprised.

As a third-tier pill refiner, she understood the difficulty of refining Condensing Crystal Pills better than anyone.

Even if she were to refine them herself, she would only guarantee producing one pill successfully, with normal success being two. Only on rare occasions would she manage three.

But Lu Changsheng, on his first attempt, had successfully refined three Condensing Crystal Pills?

What kind of talent is this?

No, this can’t be explained merely by talent!

There must be other factors at play.

“Could it be that as husband’s consciousness awakens, he not only retrieves hidden reserves from his past life but also regains past knowledge and techniques?”

Hong Lian was deeply shocked.

After so many years together, she had long believed Lu Changsheng to be the reincarnation of a great being who had descended into the mortal world.

Items like the Sumeru Tree King, Five Elements Fruit Tree, Peachwood Spirit Embryo, Wanling Bottle, and the Golden-Winged Roc were all remnants of his previous life’s preparations.

As his consciousness awakened, they were retrieved from secret realms.

Now, witnessing his unparalleled pill refinement talent, she suspected his skills in talismans, equipment refining, music, and more were all connected to his past life.

Otherwise, his abilities couldn’t be explained by mere talent.

Even a Nascent Soul True Lord would struggle to achieve such feats!

“Husband, you are truly divine; Hong Lian feels inferior in comparison.”

Hong Lian, who had been a Nascent Soul True Lord in her past life, maintained her composure as she gracefully responded, her noble, transcendent beauty exuding an air of detachment from worldly concerns.

“Haha.”

Lu Changsheng just chuckled. After all, it was fine to show off a little in front of his wife, children, and concubines.

Any more, though, and even the old ancestor of the Lu Family himself might feel a bit embarrassed.

Half a month later.

In a side hall of the City Lord’s Manor.

Lu Changsheng was currently fusing the essence blood of the Spiritual Traveling Whale with that of the Golden-Winged Roc, trying to balance the technique for Lu Quanzhen.

“Still not working.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head as he looked at the mutually repelling essence blood before him.

He had made several attempts over the past few days.

The first time failed because the bloodlines of the Spiritual Traveling Whale and the Golden-Winged Roc were too different in rank, leading to initial fusion failure.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng adjusted the ratio of the essence blood, using a large amount of the Spiritual Traveling Whale’s blood to dilute and merge with the Golden-Winged Roc’s blood.

But despite forcing a fusion with his Yin-Yang Spiritual Energy, the repelling nature of the two creatures’ bloodlines was too strong, making it unsafe to use on Lu Quanzhen.

However, during this process, Lu Changsheng did make some unexpected discoveries.

The essence blood of the Golden-Winged Roc had a beneficial effect on Lu Quanzhen’s “Yin-Yang Five Elements Kun Peng Technique” and “Kun Peng Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique.”

This was partly due to the advantages brought by true spirit essence blood.

Moreover, there might be a slight connection between the Golden-Winged Roc race and the Kunpeng race.

In other words, his technique could potentially be enhanced by the life essence of both Kun and Peng.

“The essence blood of the Golden-Winged Roc benefits Quanzhen, indicating it qualifies as the ‘Peng’ in Kunpeng.”

“Though the essence blood of the Spiritual Traveling Whale is useful to Quanzhen, the effects are less pronounced than that of the Roc’s essence blood.”

“Now, the problem is the vast difference in bloodline rank. What if I used a Heaven-Tier bloodline Kun instead?”

Lu Changsheng thought of his Splitting-Sea Profound Whale.

Although this whale didn’t possess Kunpeng bloodline.

As a Heaven-Tier whale of the highest caliber, it might barely serve as the ‘Kun’ in Kunpeng.

“For now, keep cultivating. I’ll search for the essence blood of another big fish later.”

Lu Changsheng pondered before telling Lu Quanzhen.

Currently, the Splitting-Sea Profound Whale was injured, making it inconvenient to draw its blood.

Moreover, the Golden-Winged Roc, after having two jars of essence blood extracted, was now slightly weak and feeble.

Essence blood wasn’t ordinary blood; it contained the essence of life.

Losing too much of it might even damage their foundation.

So, he planned to hold off and try again later.

“Sorry to trouble you, Father.”

Lu Quanzhen bowed respectfully and then said, “I’m also practicing the secret technique for Golden Core Formation. As long as I’m adequately prepared, I can break through.”

His foundation was almost fully restored by now.

Using the Condensing Crystal Pill, Five Elements Spirit Fruit, Golden Core Formation materials, and the Spiritual Traveling Whale provided by Lu Changsheng, he was confident in breaking through.

However, it would be quite challenging to condense a High-Tier Golden Core.

“Alright, focus on cultivating the Golden Core Formation technique for now.”

Lu Changsheng was hoping for the best, but he was willing to settle for whatever progress they could make.

With him as a protector and ample Natural Treasures prepared, Lu Quanzhen shouldn’t have trouble breaking through to Golden Core Formation—at worst, there might be some aftereffects on the technique.

“Given that the two Sea Kings in the ocean eye were able to injure the Splitting-Sea Profound Whale, it indicates their strength is extraordinary, likely of a Heaven-Tier bloodline.”

Once he had taken care of the small matters at home, Lu Changsheng planned to pay a visit to the ocean eye.

“There’s quite a commotion.”

Nine days later, Lu Changsheng was amazed at the mystical sound emanating from Lu Baixi’s Cave Dwelling.

Although her Foundation Establishment breakthrough didn’t require a lot of spiritual energy.

These past days, the cave was filled with radiant light and mystical sounds, almost ridiculously so.

The mystical sounds grew louder, like a magnificent melody, as a warm current surged through the body.

At the same time, a system notification echoed in Lu Changsheng’s mind.

“Congratulations to the host’s first offspring for becoming a Second-Tier demon. You’ve earned a high-tier lottery chance!”

“???”

Lu Changsheng was momentarily confused.

Huh?

What just happened?

Baixi’s breakthrough also came with a reward?

“So, from the system’s perspective, Baixi isn’t categorized as a human cultivator?”

“But given her circumstances, being classified as a demon makes sense. Not only did she receive spiritual energy boosts upon breaking through, but her body also got stronger.”

Even though Lu Baixi was born of him and Bai Ling, if bloodlines were considered, her white serpent bloodline was undoubtedly more dominant.

Even though Lu Changsheng believed his Lu Family bloodline would eventually become unparalleled, surpassing true spirit bloodlines.

But he had to admit that for now, his bloodline couldn’t compare to a true spirit bloodline.

Not to mention, Bai Ling’s thin true spirit bloodline had allowed her to cultivate at a rate comparable to a High-Tier Spirit Root—how could an ordinary person match that?

“So, is the system encouraging me to have more children, specifically ones with demon bloodlines?”

“Wait! If humans and demons are counted separately, does that mean other races are also counted separately, like maybe demons or other specific beings?”

Lu Changsheng’s mind was racing as he suddenly felt he had uncovered something new.

Before, he had only thought about having more true spirit descendants to try crossbreeding into great demons.

But he had never considered it this way.

“It’s too bad that demons are such a broad classification. If each species had its own slot, it would be much easier.”

Lu Changsheng felt a bit unsatisfied, noting that the system lumped all demons, beasts, and demon plants together.

He didn’t dwell on it and quietly waited for his daughter’s breakthrough to end.

The spectacle surrounding Lu Baixi’s breakthrough was incredible—the mystical melody almost permeated the entire City Lord’s Manor, compelling Lu Miaoge and Lu Wangshu to ssow up and check on the situation.

Eventually, his daughter, Lu Baixi, emerged from her Cave Dwelling.

“Mom, Dad, Aunt, Sister, you’re all here.”

Lu Baixi called out as she looked at Lu Changsheng and the others.

“Baixi! Congratulations on your Foundation Establishment breakthrough.”

“Hey, Baixi, you’ve grown taller!”

Seeing Lu Baixi in front of them, Lu Changsheng and the others were a bit surprised.

This daughter’s growth trajectory was entirely different from that of other human children.

At two or three years old, she was already as big as a five or six-year-old.

At five or six years old, she was almost as big as an eight or nine-year-old.

But after that, she just stopped growing, maintaining that form.

Now, after breaking through to the second tier, she had suddenly grown, looking like an eleven or twelve-year-old, her exquisite features resembling a perfect masterpiece, radiating beauty and holiness.

“Baixi, you’ve had your breakthrough. Come, let me test how much your strength has increased!”

Lu Linghe immediately stepped forward, addressing Lu Baixi.

Every time Lu Linghe had a breakthrough, their father would test her strength in this way.

So, as the older sister, she also wanted to help her younger sister test her newfound strength.

“Sister, be careful.”

The two sisters were very close, and Lu Baixi pursed her lips, nodding before throwing a small, soft punch.

“Whoosh!”

The seemingly simple punch caused the air to whistle and crack.

But Lu Linghe didn’t flinch and threw her own soft punch back.

“Boom!!!”

Their small fists collided, unleashing a powerful gust of wind.

If not for the restrictions placed on the City Lord’s Manor and the fact that all the flooring and buildings were made of special materials, the mere aftermath of their clash would have caused buildings to collapse and floors to shatter.

“Wow, Baixi, you’re so much stronger now!”

Lu Linghe staggered back a few steps, exclaiming in surprise.

Keep in mind, Lu Linghe had already reached the second tier in body refining.

But she could barely withstand Lu Baixi’s punch just now.

“I don’t know, but as I grew up, my strength just increased that much.”

Compared to the noisy Lu Linghe, Lu Baixi was very quiet and rarely showed excitement.

“Such a body—it truly is worthy of a true spirit bloodline!”

Hong Lian noted that Lu Baixi hadn’t used her full strength, nor had she employed any spiritual energy.

In a real battle, even Lu Linghe, who had been in Foundation Establishment for many years, might not be able to match Lu Baixi.

“What’s going on with Baixi?”

Lu Wangshu, standing to the side, was also shocked by her younger sister.

Even though she knew her sister had a non-human bloodline,

seeing her break through Foundation Establishment at the age of fifteen,

and having a body even stronger than Lu Linghe’s right after breaking through, she couldn’t help but be amazed.

“Could Meng’er be a genius too?”

At that moment, she thought about her genius siblings, especially the ones their father would personally train, and she looked over at Lu Mengchan lying across the Flying Bear.

However, considering how timid, shy, and prone to crying Lu Mengchan was, she dismissed the thought.

She concluded that Lu Mengchan was simply raised close to their mother, Meng Xiaochan, and couldn’t possibly be as monstrous as Lu Baixi.

If every future sibling turned out to be like Lu Baixi, who would be able to cope?

“Baixi, do you feel anything unusual after your breakthrough? Is your body okay?”

Lu Changsheng stopped the two sisters’ sparring and asked his daughter.

Even he hadn’t expected such a remarkable change in her after reaching the second tier.

“It feels like I learned a few extra spells and got lots of strange symbols and patterns that I don’t understand.”

Lu Baixi tilted her head, looking adorable as she spoke, her eyes shimmering with platinum light, gazing at her father with a longing gaze full of hope and longing.

In the entire family, only her father could teach her cultivation and solve her mysteries.

“…”

Seeing his daughter’s eager eyes, Lu Changsheng rubbed her head and said, “After all these days, you must be hungry. Let’s eat first.”

After the meal, Lu Changsheng couldn’t escape from teaching his daughter and explaining her bloodline inheritance to her.

From what he could tell, it was her next set of techniques.

But beyond the techniques, there were countless spells and Secret Techniques—it was incredibly comprehensive.

This kind of bloodline inheritance was like carrying around a complete manual of techniques, leaving her with no worries.

“Phew!”

After teaching for a long time, Lu Changsheng rubbed his tired forehead and sent her to play with Lu Linghe for a while, to relax. He then returned to his Cave Dwelling to rest.

Tutoring his daughter, Lu Baixi, felt like a torment.

At this point, Lu Changsheng remembered the lottery reward for his daughter’s breakthrough, feeling a bit more comforted. He silently thought, “System, lottery.”

The system’s Big Prize Wheel appeared before him.

Looking at the prize wheel, Lu Changsheng felt his headache easing.

He couldn’t help but start anticipating his daughter’s future Three-Tier breakthrough.

As the wheel began to spin, an image of a snow-white, transparent pearl emerged from the wheel, accompanied by a system notification.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Rare Treasure: Three-Treasure Transformation Pearl!”

“The reward has been deposited into the system space. The host can check it at any time.”
