Chapter 61: Father of Thirty Children, Breakthrough to Fourth Level Qi Refinement!

Peach Blossom Gu.

Feeds on romantic fortune!

The more the host’s romantic luck flourishes, the faster Peach Blossom Gu grows.

Each time the Peach Blossom Gu evolves, it enhances the host’s romantic appeal!

However, its evolution is limited by the master’s cultivation level.

If the master doesn’t reach Foundation Establishment, the Peach Blossom Gu won’t advance.

Currently, Peach Blossom Gu has three effects.

The first two were explained earlier.

It subtly improves the host’s body, making the skin more radiant and increasing attraction to the opposite gender.

Simultaneously, it enhances the host’s romantic luck.

Both of these are passive effects.

The first effect is somewhat noticeable over time.

The romantic luck boost, however, is intangible.

The third effect of the Peach Blossom Gu is active.

By activating it, one can release a scent called Five Aggregates Peach Blossom Mist.

This scent causes confusion and allure.

It affects humans, animals, and plants alike.

The strength depends on the Gu’s power.

Currently, as a first-level Gu, its power is equivalent to the Qi Refinement stage.

“Isn’t this Peach Blossom Immortal a flower thief?”

“Who else would create such a Gu!?”

“It’s all about boosting appeal and romantic chances with this crass method…”

After understanding its effects, Lu Changsheng shook his head.

But he didn’t mind these aspects.

After all, an item’s value is determined by its user.

As an upright gentleman, he’d put this Peach Blossom Gu to good use.

Next, Lu Changsheng stored the Peach Blossom Gu.

The Gu flew to his forehead, forming a pink peach blossom petal mark.

It would subtly improve his body over time.

And secretly enhance his romantic fortune.

Lu Changsheng touched the mark on his forehead, and it instantly faded away.

It remains hidden unless he uses the Five Aggregates Peach Blossom Mist.

Otherwise, a large man with a peach blossom mark on his forehead seems odd.

“Living on Qingzhu Mountain, I wonder if this romantic luck helps?”

Lu Changsheng thought of the Young Miss with some hope.

He left the practice room, noticing it was nighttime.

Lu Changsheng went to a secluded courtyard and called in Jiu’er and Shui’er.

He’s been focusing on them, but neither got pregnant.

He wasn’t too concerned.

He believed with more effort, results would come.

Six days later, Shui’er was pregnant.

A month later, thanks to his efforts, Jiu’er was also pregnant.

Counting these pregnancies, Lu Changsheng had thirty children.

His twenty-fourth child was born recently.

Just six more births, and the system might give him gifts.

He eagerly looked forward to the system’s rewards.

As currently, he couldn’t rely much on his children, only on the system.

……

Another month passed.

He’d been refining Peach Blossom Gu for over two months.

Initially excited, Lu Changsheng felt no change over time.

No romantic luck appeared, his hopes waning.

He stopped paying attention to Peach Blossom Gu.

Since he’s already handsome, any boost is just a bonus.

Romantic fortune is mysterious, not something to count on.

One day.

While meditating in his training room, Lu Changsheng felt a stirring.

His bottleneck at the third level of Qi refinement loosened.

The Fourth Elder had guided him, and this shift felt like a breakthrough.

He promptly took a Yellow Dragon Pill and grasped several Spirit Stones.

Closing his eyes, he rapidly activated the Return Yuan Technique.

The pill dissolved instantly, and the Spirit Stones’ qi surged in.

Spirit energy flowed, increasing his speed, and he felt an overwhelming force.

After a long time.

“Boom!”

Lu Changsheng shuddered, his robe flaring, and impurities sweat out.

His dantian’s spirit qi now flowed like a stream.

“Fourth level of Qi refinement! Spirit qi flows like a stream!”

“Finally, I’ve reached mid-stage Qi refinement!”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, joyful about the new balance within him.

He’d reached the third level’s peak a year ago.

It took a year to break through.

If not for his Ninth-Tier Spirit Root advancing to Eighth-tier, it could have taken longer.

“No wonder Hong Yi’s stuck at third-level for years.”

Lu Changsheng understood Hong Yi’s long delay.

In Qingzhu Valley, he enjoyed second-tier spiritual veins, ate well, and had yellow dragon pills monthly.

Even with all this, he was stuck in a bottleneck.

Hong Yi, with his mundane roots and limited resources, struggled even more.

He also recalled Xiao Xiyue breaking through at her three-year mark.

Fourth-Tier Spirit Root is indeed scary!

How terrifying would a High-Tier or legendary Earthly, Heavenly Spirit Root be?

Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on it, cast Cleanse, and wiped away the impurities.

Excited, he left the practice room.

It was winter, snow falling softly and piling up outside.

Despite his Qingzhu clothing’s protection, the cold wind chilled him momentarily.

But the cold soon vanished, his inner qi and robe warming him.

“It’s been five years since I came to the Lu Family.”

Lu Changsheng gazed at the enduring green spirit bamboo amidst the snow.

Thinking of awakening his past life’s memory at Heart Platform and marrying into the Lu Family.

In five years, he’d ascended from a mortal to the fourth level of Qi refinement.

From being a ‘breeding’ son-in-law to the Lu Family’s son-in-law, and marrying the elder’s granddaughter.

He walked slowly to the front yard, seeing kids in coats playing in the snow.

He smiled slightly, those are the results of his hard work.

They were his efforts over five years.
