Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1893: 490: Seven-orifice Exquisite, Soul-calling Beast!
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Right away, Lu Changsheng offered her guidance, pressing his hand against her back to assist in absorbing the full potency of the Heaven-replenishing Elixir, ensuring not a single trace went to waste.
A few hours passed before Lu Ruyi stirred from her trance-like slumber, sensing deep within her spirit that her Spiritual Root had undergone a remarkable enhancement.
Yet, she couldn't pinpoint the exact degree of that improvement.
"Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, paving the way for a bright path to Core Formation."
Observing his daughter still caught in a mix of astonishment, bewilderment, and faint discomfort, Lu Changsheng addressed her with a gentle grin.
"Fourth Grade Spiritual Root!"
These words ignited an overwhelming wave of delight and thrill in Lu Ruyi's chest.
Fourth Grade Spiritual Root!
Her Spiritual Root had now risen to the Fourth Grade.
With merely an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root before, she was forced to exert several times the labor simply to match the pace of fellow cultivators.Nevertheless, that divide between Spiritual Roots remained a chasm no amount of toil could bridge.
In particular, watching her younger siblings surge ahead in cultivation filled her with utter hopelessness.
Plenty of people outside praised and honored her, astonished that someone with just a Lower Grade Spiritual Root had climbed so high.
Still, she yearned even more for the prowess of those born with elite talents.
At last, she had escaped the confines of a Lower Grade Spiritual Root, ascending to the ranks of Fourth Grade!
"Thank you, Father!"
Lu Ruyi's eyes grew misty as she offered a deep bow of thanks to her father.
Without his nurturing, support, and the gift of the Foundation Establishment Elixir, her relentless efforts alone would never have shattered the barrier to Foundation Establishment.
Thanks to that, she had always kept a steady mind, aware that even with her Eighth Grade Spiritual Root, she outshone countless other cultivators.
Yet on this day, her father bestowed upon her the incredibly scarce Heaven-replenishing Elixir, stirring emotions too profound for words, beyond her ability to voice.
"These are merely worldly goods; if they aid you, that's what counts most."
Noting his daughter's flood of happiness, Lu Changsheng responded with tender warmth.
Once he had soothed her, Lu Changsheng added, "No need to fret excessively over family matters anymore—devote greater effort and time to your cultivation."
While Core Formation remains achievable before turning 150, striking for it earlier holds clear advantages; delaying too much isn't wise.
With those words, Lu Changsheng handed over some Spirit Stones and Elixir Medicines to his daughter, urging her to train diligently without overlooking Body Refinement, before slipping away silently.
...
Upon reaching Misty Rain Market, Lu Changsheng shared with Yan Lan the news of securing a Third Rank Demon Core, suggesting that if she felt prepared, she could head to Great Dream Immortal City to ready herself for Core Formation.
This revelation sparked in Yan Lan a burst of elation and fervor rivaling Lu Ruyi's own.
Overjoyed beyond measure, she struggled to convey her thanks, though a shadow of anxiety lingered, fearing she might falter in forming the Core.
Indeed, advancing to False Core via a Third Rank Demon Core offers no certainty, harboring a real risk of setback.
To ease her concerns, Lu Changsheng detailed the procedure and shared insights from his own False Core journey.
Though he himself had never forged a False Core or witnessed one, relying on Hong Lian's vast knowledge and his status as Qingyun Sect's Honorary Elder granting library access, he grasped the essentials well enough.
"Thank you, Husband!"
Words failing her, Yan Lan poured out her bliss and zeal in gestures instead.
Her sister Yu Fei, sharing her blood, rejoiced sincerely for her and voiced her own appreciation to Lu Changsheng.
Days later, with Lu Changsheng departed, the two sisters wandered in a hazy stupor, as though lost in a vivid reverie.
"Without your choice back then, Feifei..."
It took a while for Yan Lan to shake off the fog, her voice laced with tangled sentiments as she spoke.
Had her sister Yu Fei not chosen to wed Lu Changsheng years ago, she would never have forged this bond with him.
Lacking that tie, the opportunity to claim a Third Rank Demon Core and pursue False Core ascension would have eluded her forever.
"So, how can I ever repay you, sister..."
Yu Fei pulled her sister into an embrace, then whispered softly, "Sister, once you're a False Core Immortal, you won't look down on me, right...?"
"Mm..."
Even as concubines to Lu Ancestor, the sisters cherished their bond deeply, often lending each other support in quiet ways.
...
Departing Misty Rain Market, Lu Changsheng made straight for Great Dream Immortal City.
[Congratulations to the host for having fifteen descendants breakthrough to Second Rank Body Refining, obtaining an Advanced Lottery opportunity!]
A few days on, a startling system notification echoed in Lu Changsheng's thoughts.
"Hmm?"
Lu Changsheng had directed his gifted offspring to prioritize Magical Dual Cultivation whenever feasible.
Still, with Magical Treasures in short supply, not all could master the "Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art."
Thus, he simply supplied extra aids for body refinement without much oversight.
To his surprise, fifteen children had silently advanced to Second Rank Body Refining without his notice.
"In time, we'll thin out the Void Kun's flesh and blood for the kids' medicinal soaks."
Recalling the Void Kun stored in Great Dream Immortal City, Lu Changsheng pondered inwardly.
He resolved to arrange opulent medicinal baths for the Lu Family disciples at his earliest convenience.
Maybe even let his son Lu Ping'an oversee one in his stead.
"System, draw!"
The memory of snagging [Seven-orifice Exquisite] not long ago fired up Lu Changsheng's anticipation for the draw, curious if fortune would smile on him with another jackpot.
In a flash, the advanced lottery wheel materialized, whirling at breakneck speed.
Moments later, the golden glow eased to a halt, landing in the 'Spiritual Pet Treasure' segment.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Spiritual Pet: Soul-calling Beast!]
[The reward has been delivered to the system space, and the host can view it at any time]
