Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1929: 503: Mystic Wood Gourd, Wedding Procession! (2)

Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...

Lu Changsheng marveled at the profound effects of the Xuanwood Vine's maturation, which intertwined with the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine, granting benefits to Qu Zhenzhen and the Mount Sumeru Tree King, including a nascent secret art for her. He harvested the Mystic Wood Gourd, a fourth-rank treasure, and after initial attempts yielded no response, set it aside for deeper study. In the Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven, he learned of its need for innate pure qi to refine its origin rules, while he and his wives awaited their son's impending wedding. Later, refining the gourd with the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinement Technique demanded nearly a third of his essence blood, revealing its powers to absorb harmful energies and spells, and nurture spirit pills, medicines, and treasures with vital creation force.

"Truly, the treasure born from the companion spirit plant of the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine is only an embryo, but even without any refining, it qualifies as a supreme exotic treasure."

Once he poured in his essence blood, Lu Changsheng sensed a profound link forming with the gourd gripped in his palm.

As he lifted his hand just a bit, the gourd whirled before him, shining with a lush green glow, and then it unleashed a Wind Blade.

"Whoosh!"

Right as the Wind Blade shot out, a streak of purple-green light burst from the gourd's opening, drawing the Wind Blade inside it.

"Just by triggering it simply, it produces this kind of result. That means if I push it to its full potential, it could even fend off the mighty abilities of a Nascent Soul cultivator to a certain degree."

Lu Changsheng gave a small nod, quite pleased with the outcome.

In the end, this gourd ranks as a fourth-rank top-grade treasure, and right now, he can't harness its complete power, yet getting this level of performance is already remarkable.

"I must hurry the advancement of my fourth-rank artifact refining!"

Having obtained this fourth-rank top-grade Mystic Wood Gourd, Lu Changsheng immediately considered employing it as the base to forge the [Yin Yang Creation Gourd] he had always craved.

Throughout the years, apart from the Yin Yang Chart, he had not pursued creating more life-bound magic treasures, mainly because of limited time and effort, and also since nothing truly captivated him.

For the auxiliary magical treasures in the "Yin Yang Creation Scripture"—such as the Yin Yang Mirror, Yin Yang Sword, and Yin Yang Taoist Robe—with his present resources, he could produce them whenever he wanted.

Forget about third-rank top-level ones; even quasi-fourth-rank or third-rank superior grade versions posed no challenge.

Yet, with his growing power, these magical treasures offered him scant benefit—nothing but a waste!

However, the [Yin Yang Creation Gourd] stands apart!

This magic treasure falls under the Dao Soldier Magic Treasures type, allowing it to foster the unique Yin Yang Dao Soldiers from the "Yin Yang Creation Scripture"!

Given his current wealth, developing and training a squad of Dao Soldiers would boost his fighting strength to a whole new height!

Furthermore, since this Mystic Wood Gourd is fourth-rank top-grade, it can be turned into a premier spiritual treasure, one that serves him well even in the Nascent Soul stage!

The sole problem at the moment is his artifact refining proficiency, which sits at just third-rank top-level.

To turn the existing Mystic Wood Gourd into the [Yin Yang Creation Gourd] without lowering its quality, his current skill level falls way short.

It's not just the skill that's lacking.

Right now, neither the Lu Family nor Great Dream Immortal City provides the right setup.

For example, enhancing the Earth Core Fire and Heavenly Spiritual Fire is essential for flawlessly refining the [Yin Yang Creation Gourd].

"I can't force it too fast."

Lu Changsheng understands that rushing leads to mistakes.

Should his impatience cause defects in the refining, harming the final quality, finding another gourd embryo like this would be out of the question.

"Since this Mystic Wood Gourd carries a wood attribute, refining it into a Yin Yang Creation Gourd would work best by feeding it heavenly and earthly treasures of yin and yang natures, to spark the yin yang qi mechanism...

As a third-rank top-level artifact refiner armed with countless refining concepts from the "Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinement Technique," Lu Changsheng holds his own views on crafting magic treasures.

He's no longer the novice from before, blindly sticking to the exact forms and methods outlined in cultivation manuals.

Take the Yin Yang Chart, his life-bound magic treasure; he tweaked it a little based on the available materials and his needs back then.

Now, as he gears up to create the [Yin Yang Creation Gourd], he must account for both his present circumstances and the gourd embryo's state to squeeze out the utmost potential!

"Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror streams in solar essence by day and lunar essence by night—using the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror to influence the Mystic Wood Gourd's qi attributes, making it develop yang and yin qualities, before applying it in the refining...

Lu Changsheng pondered deeply in his thoughts.

From losing too much blood earlier, a touch of weariness crept over him; after sketching out a basic plan, he decided to hold off on more thinking.

Reflecting on the gourd's nurturing power for magic treasures and elixirs, Lu Changsheng thought about inserting the [Netherworld Map] for cleansing, but then he halted abruptly.

"Buzz!"

A flying dagger the size of a thumb, as slim as a cicada's wing and evoking shooting stars, materialized in his grasp.

This was the fourth-rank exotic treasure flying dagger gifted by Lou Mountain True Monarch!

That time, beyond the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, he had wiped out Purple Grey True Monarch by using this exotic treasure to severely damage the foe's Nascent Soul Spirit Body!

Still, after deploying it, he spotted the exotic treasure's weakness.

After releasing all its cultivated sharpness, its strength drops sharply, and it needs time to rebuild that edge.

With the Mystic Wood Gourd in hand now, he realized they paired together flawlessly!

"Whoosh!"

A mere thought sent the fourth-rank flying dagger floating into the Mystic Wood Gourd.

"During battles ahead, the Mystic Wood Gourd can take in and break down divine skills and techniques, while suddenly unleashing the dagger to surprise and strike enemies unaware."

A vivid image flashed in Lu Changsheng's mind, inspiring him to dub this dagger the [Immortal Slaying Flying Saber].

...

After handing the Mystic Wood Gourd to the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror for A Wu to assist in refining, Lu Changsheng headed to visit Lu Miaoge.

"Changsheng, what's wrong with you?"

Spotting Lu Changsheng's pallid face, worry flooded Lu Miaoge's expression.

"I was just experimenting a little with the Mystic Wood Gourd, and unexpectedly...

Lu Changsheng answered honestly.

"You shouldn't push yourself like that."

Lu Miaoge looked at him with gentle affection, channeling Taiyi True Water to restore his body and Qi-Blood.

"You're right, Sister Miaoge."

Lu Changsheng grinned while taking hold of his wife's soft hand, quietly relishing this warm and peaceful instant.

A short while after, Lu Miaoge summoned her younger sister, Lu Miaohuan.

Through the Abyssal Ghoul Blossom, Lu Miaohuan can consume creatures to extract their inner blood essence, converting it into refined life essence to extend her years.

And in dual cultivation sessions with Lu Changsheng, she can pass this life essence on to him.
