"At last, fortune favors me once more!"
A satisfied expression crossed Lu Changsheng's face while he inspected the properties of this Seed of Law.
[Seed of Law: Seven-orifice Exquisite]
[Grade: Fourth Rank]
[Description: The heart features seven orifices, the form holds exquisiteness, unveiling the world's true essence. Possessing the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart allows connection with every entity in existence, decoding enigmas, and greatly boosting comprehension!]
"Connection with every entity in existence?"
Lu Changsheng arched his brows and pulled the Seed of Law out from the System Space.
In that moment, a soft crimson, heart-like glow materialized in front of him.
Simultaneously, comprehensive details on this Seed of Law surged into his thoughts.
Similar to the earlier two Seeds of Law, its core benefits include boosting innate abilities, expanding the six senses, altering disposition, refining looks, and correcting flaws.
Additionally, it offers a major uplift to comprehension.
Yet, to unlock the comprehension boost, a clear mind devoid of stray notions is essential; failure to do so could spark a cultivation deviation.
Regarding the connection with all entities, everything in the world carries a spiritual essence.
Upon fusing with the [Seven-orifice Exquisite] Seed of Law, this essence becomes perceptible, yielding certain insights from it.
In encounters with Spiritual Beasts, plant spirits, Heavenly Spiritual Fire, and similar, actual dialogue becomes possible.
Beyond these perks, the Seven-orifice Exquisite carries a drawback.
Differing from [Sword Charging Bull’s Might] and [Son of Heaven Qi Observation], which quietly shape one's demeanor, integration with the [Seven-orifice Exquisite] slowly reshapes the core into a Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart.
With the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart formed, while it elevates the bearer's gifts and potential, it also radiates an allure like a supreme heavenly treasure, proving immensely nourishing to living beings and thereby drawing in Demon Beasts and plant spirits with temptation.
"This Seed of Law is truly impressive, yet each one comes with its pitfalls..."
Lu Changsheng shook his head involuntarily.
After fusing with the [Seven-orifice Exquisite], it turns one into something like Tang Seng’s Meat.
Undoubtedly, not just Demon Beasts, but even elite cultivators might seek to craft a Human Pill from it.
"Moreover, for flawless integration with this [Seven-orifice Exquisite], a mind with minimal distractions and pure intentions, free of wicked desires, is required."
Apart from the Tang Seng’s Meat drawback, the Seven-orifice Exquisite demands specific conditions.
Should a person laden with malicious intents attempt fusion, it could damage the physique, causing cardiac collapse amid the shift to the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, thus triggering a deviation.
"It fits Xiao He perfectly..."
Lu Changsheng recalled his daughter, whose heart remained the purest.
Furthermore, Xiao He never entertained envy or dark impulses; she stayed optimistic with an untainted spirit.
Alongside Xiao He, thoughts turned to his daughter Lu Qingzhu.
Post-refinement of the Heaven-replenishing Elixir, he had yearned to bestow the final dose upon her.
Nevertheless, given the numerous offspring craving the Heaven-replenishing Elixir, such favoritism would prove unfair, and travel to Yue Country eluded him.
Bestowing this [Seven-orifice Exquisite] on Little Bamboo seemed ideal too.
Still, fusion with [Seven-orifice Exquisite] would render her like a walking divine herb, posing grave risks outdoors, and Lu Qingzhu frequently ventured far.
"Ping’an would suit it well as well..."
Besides them, Lu Changsheng deemed his son Lu Ping’an a fine match for this Seed of Law.
Unlike his daughters, Lu Ping’an possessed defensive capabilities during journeys.
Even his spouse Lu Miaoge could benefit greatly from this Seed of Law.
"Never mind, I'll decide on it afterward."
After much reflection, Lu Changsheng noted how numerous family members aligned with the [Seven-orifice Exquisite], opting to deliberate further, then departed to explore Qingyun Sect and bond with Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing.
...
Several days passed.
"Greetings, Changsheng True Master; the Sect Leader summons you."
Upon leaving Caiyun Peak, Lu Changsheng was met by an apprentice who bowed deeply in respect.
"Very well."
Lu Changsheng knew this apprentice served near the Qingyun Sect Leader, offering a faint nod.
Yet, the invitation from the Qingyun Sect Leader stemmed not from urgent affairs but from worry, inquiring on advances in the Talisman Path.
Should Lu Changsheng need Heavenly and Earthly Treasures or Elixirs, priority exchanges with Qingyun Sect stood available.
"Rest easy, Sect Leader."
Lu Changsheng grasped that this arose from his Nascent Soul-level power shown in Great Dream Immortal City, elevating his Deputy City Lord role.
Qingyun Sect acknowledged they could no longer bind him, choosing instead to extend favors and nurture ties.
"Daoist Changsheng understates himself; we’re like kin. For any needs, seek me out anytime."
While the Qingyun Sect Leader had always viewed Lu Changsheng favorably before, the regard now soared to new heights.
In turn, Lu Changsheng spoke freely, seeking Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and Elixirs to uplift Spiritual Root aptitudes.
He noted his many children's talents as average or poor, and as a father, he now could provide support.
He pledged to produce two or three Third Rank Talismans monthly, favoring trades with Qingyun Sect.
"Daoist Changsheng earns respect."
The Qingyun Sect Leader observed, recalling Lu Changsheng's vast investments for his wife's Core Formation and now gathering Elixirs for his offspring's growth.
In the Cultivation World, such devoted figures like Lu Changsheng were scarce.
After all, materials for Spiritual Root enhancement typically cost dearly with modest utility.
Particularly with his large brood of middling or weak talents, it might impede his personal progress.
"It’s merely parental duty."
Lu Changsheng replied gently, then departed.
...
"This individual cherishes bonds profoundly, benefiting our Qingyun Sect greatly."
As Lu Changsheng departed, the Qingyun Sect Leader watched with hands clasped behind, face steady and dignified.
Qingyun Sect’s warm stance toward Lu Changsheng derived not just from Great Dream Immortal City links and Xiao Xiyue but also from his character displayed over the recent century.
