Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1890: 490: Seven-Aperture Exquisite, Soul-calling Beast!

Lu Family Mansion, Miaoyun Pavilion.
"Is this the fabled Heaven-replenishing Elixir?"
With keen interest, Lu Miaoyun inspected the pill right in front of her.
Qu Zhenzhen had encountered the Heaven-replenishing Elixir during her younger days and was aware that her son Lu Quanzhen along with her daughter Lu Caizhen had consumed such a pill.
"Indeed, this is the Heaven-replenishing Elixir. Once swallowed, it can elevate a Lower Grade Spiritual Root up to Middle Grade; meanwhile, a Middle Grade Spiritual Root might even rise to Superior Grade."
Some emotion colored Lu Changsheng's words as he commented.
Gathering these Heaven-replenishing Elixirs had proven quite challenging.
Although his position as the Master of Great Dream Immortal City allowed him to trade straight with the Heavenly Sword Sect and elite cultivators from Jiang Country, amassing another set of these elixirs remained a tough endeavor.
"Husband, what's your intention for handing out these three Heaven-replenishing Elixirs?"
Qu Zhenzhen understood well that these pills were crafted specifically for the family's disciples."Start by offering one to Ruyi and Qingsong; as for the last one, we'll decide its fate down the line..."
In a gentle tone, Lu Changsheng replied.
He had mulled over the allocation of the Heaven-replenishing Elixirs extensively.
Truth be told, far too many offspring in the household craved the benefits of this Heaven-replenishing Elixir.
Take his daughter Lu Wangshu and son Lu Qingxuan, for instance—they could leverage the Heaven-replenishing Elixir to bolster their already Superior Grade Spiritual Root, thereby boosting their odds of reaching Core Formation.
His Dao companion Zhao Qingqing holds a Low Grade Spiritual Body [Vegbody] yet possesses merely a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root. Should she ingest the Heaven-replenishing Elixir, her spiritual root might climb to Fourth Grade, granting her a shot at Core Formation.
Moreover, youngsters such as Lu Chensha, Lu Xingyang, Lu Qingyan, Lu Qingli, and Lu Qingzhu would all gain immensely from it.
Ultimately, he resolved to favor the children bearing Lower Grade Spiritual Roots first.
For example, his daughter Lu Ruyi, who has toiled tirelessly on behalf of the family, carries only an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root.
Despite the abundance of rare treasures from heaven and earth used to temper and strengthen her meridians and physique, her progress in cultivation barely rivals that of a Middle Grade Spiritual Root, rendering breakthroughs beyond Foundation Establishment Late Stage a real struggle.
Depending on a Second Rank Breakthrough Elixir to push past Foundation Establishment Late Stage represents pretty much the ceiling for her.
By taking a Heaven-replenishing Elixir, though, her Lower Grade Spiritual Root would upgrade to Middle Grade, opening pathways toward Core Formation or even False Core someday.
His son Lu Qingsong faces a comparable predicament.
Dedicated to the family's cause with notable achievements, he too bears just a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root, and he is the child of his wife Lu Miaohuan.
Regarding the leftover elixir, since numerous family children require it, he intends to avoid bias and will establish a criterion soon, letting the young ones vie for it based chiefly on their service to the family.
"Hmm~"
A soft acknowledgment came from Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen, neither voicing any disagreement.
In truth, they recognized that plenty of family members could benefit from the Heaven-replenishing Elixir, yet with merely three at hand, allocation posed an inevitable headache no matter what.
...
Following several days of repose and leisure, Lu Changsheng turned his mind back to the lottery reward and the True Spirit Bloodline he had gained.
"System, integrate!"
With a subtle shift in his mind, Lu Changsheng opted to fuse the True Spirit Bloodline into his Chaos Body ahead of everything else.
"Boom!"
In that instant, a scorching surge of power raced through Lu Changsheng's every limb and organ.
Bit by bit, the properties of this True Spirit Bloodline dawned on him.
It attunes to spatial qualities, harbors an affinity for fire attributes, and... boasts impressive powers of regeneration.
"Why do the benefits of this True Spirit Bloodline feel so underwhelming?"
A slight furrow creased Lu Changsheng's brow.
When stacked against a Spiritual Body, the impacts of this True Spirit Bloodline scarcely surpass those of an Intermediate Spirit Body.
Yet the integration of his daughter Lu Baixi's True Spirit Bloodline from years past had almost rivaled a Top Level Spiritual Body in potency.
"Could it be that Xiao Xi's bloodline holds greater purity?"
Lu Changsheng's knowledge on True Spirit Bloodlines remained limited.
He grasped only that True Spirits and Demon Beasts alike prized the density of their bloodlines.
Consider Bai Ling, for one.
Even with a True Spirit Bloodline in her veins, she falls short of his daughter Lu Baixi.
"Still, by all accounts, the Heavenly Phoenix as a premier True Spirit ought to confer a bloodline of exceptional caliber, no?"
Lu Changsheng sensed that these outcomes hardly befitted the famed Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline.
Upon second thought, however, he surmised that his daughter's innate gifts might simply be middling.
After all, in the realm of birthing heirs, elevated parental cultivation tends to yield offspring of superior talent.
That said, it offers no ironclad promise of prodigious progeny.
This particular daughter of his, armed with a Third-Grade Spiritual Root and a True Spirit Bloodline akin to an Intermediate Spirit Body, fares quite decently—nay, she qualifies as talented.
Merely, Lu Changsheng's hopes for the child of Azure Phoenix True Monarch's consort ran excessively high.
She stands as his inaugural Nascent Soul Stage consort, after all!
"Even so, it's acceptable; talent sets the baseline, and with me as her sire and her mother by her side, her eventual successes won't disappoint."
Through the passage of these years, Lu Changsheng had grown far more detached concerning his children's aptitudes.
No longer did the early-year frets and doubts plague him.
These days, his sole eagerness centered on the moment Azure Phoenix True Monarch would return their daughter to him.
"Or maybe hold off until I advance to Nascent Soul, then initiate contact with her."
Prior to their separation, Azure Phoenix True Monarch had bestowed upon him a feather, enabling him to reach out if he so desired.
But owing to the massive uproar from the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm], she had ventured forth to evade calamity. Lacking overwhelming power, Lu Changsheng refrained from rashly reaching out.
"System, lottery."
Dismissing further rumination, Lu Changsheng focused his intent.
[Ding, congratulations to host for obtaining Seed of Law: Seven-orifice Exquisite!]
[Reward has been issued to system space; host can view at any time]
A intricate image of lustrous white jade markings appeared, paired with the system's chime.
"Seed of Law!?"
Lu Changsheng's pulse quickened abruptly, a flicker of delight crossing his features.
Well-known is the fact that, amid the array of lottery prizes, the Seed of Law ranks among those he most covets.
Be it his son Lu Qingshan's [Sword Charging Bull’s Might] or his son Lu Lingxiao's [Son of Heaven Qi Observation], each delivers profound advantages.
He hadn't foreseen drawing yet another Seed of Law this day.
And securing it via a standard lottery pull, no less.
