Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1940: 506: 6 Demon Consorts, 3rd-Rank Divination! (3)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Should it prove impossible otherwise, I'll head back to the Myriad Demon Abyss sometime soon to push the Soul-calling Beast up to the Fourth Rank!
"System, start the lottery draw."
Lu Changsheng rose to his feet, brushed off his green robe, and whispered the command inwardly.
In the period of his secluded training lately, the Lu Family's offspring had grown to seven thousand in total, with ten of them achieving Foundation Establishment breakthroughs, which granted him two regular lottery chances.
Though rewards from standard draws didn't excite him anymore, he still desperately wanted more abilities.
[Ding! Congratulations host, you have obtained a Third Rank Heaven-replenishing Elixir!]
[The reward has been issued to the System Space, and the host can check it at any time]
From the massive wheel emerged a vision of the pill, along with the chime of the system's alert.
"Heaven-replenishing Elixir?"
Upon spotting this pill as his prize, Lu Changsheng hesitated a bit before softly shaking his head.
Back in his younger days, he'd eagerly anticipated elixirs like this one.
Yet these days...
"I'd rather have snagged some Heaven-replenishing Fungus."
Lu Changsheng checked the system storage; just this single elixir of that caliber sat there.
For him, pulling a Heaven-replenishing Fungus and then collecting materials on his own to brew it would prove way more useful.
"Keep going."
A quick mental nudge set the system wheel spinning once more.
[Ding, congratulations host, you have obtained Second Rank Spirit Plant Skill!]
[The reward has been issued to the System Space, and the host can check it at any time]
"A skill..."
Having landed this ability, Lu Changsheng immediately considered applying it to boost one of his existing ones.
"Which to level up..."
Right now, the abilities Lu Changsheng craved most included Talisman Making, Artifact Refining, Dragon Seeking, and Divination.
Talisman Making goes without saying.
Thanks to the "Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture," elevating Talisman Making to Fourth Rank would let him craft Fourth Rank Talismans straight away.
Unlike the current setup, where every Fourth Rank Talisman depends on the Talisman Nurturing Method to strengthen, eating up tons of time.
Take the Fourth Rank Talisman he vowed to his daughter Lu Wangshu—it wasn't a lack of drawing time, but no spare moments for nurturing!
To date, he'd only managed to nurture three such Fourth Rank Talismans.
Artifact Refining needs no extra explanation.
Be it upgrading his Life-bound Magic Treasure [Yin Yang Chart], forging the [Yin Yang Creation Gourd], or remaking the Spiritual Treasures from Lou Mountain True Monarch and Purple Grey True Monarch, each demands a higher Artifact Refining rank.
Dragon Seeking ties directly to the clan's future and the Cave Heaven Spirit Vein.
His Dragon Seeking Technique lingers at Second Rank for now, so siphoning a Third Rank Spirit Vein feels like a huge loss; bumping it to Third Rank would, even without eyeing distant spots, vastly enhance the Spirit Veins in Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven and Great Dream Immortal City.
Divination holds vital importance for major powers!
The current Second Rank Divination offers scant results.
But raising it to Third Rank would amplify its power tremendously, positioning him as Jiang Country's premier Diviner!
"I don't need a Fourth Rank Talisman desperately at the moment, and the skill transfer can merely push a Third Rank Top Level to Fourth Rank Lower Grade, providing only minor aid."
"Even boosting Artifact Refining to Fourth Rank, with the family's present resources, forging the Yin Yang Creation Gourd flawlessly remains tough, so better to focus on advancing Divination first."
"Upgrading Divination grants clear foresight into luck and peril, helping steady the family's growth and supporting my path toward the Starry Sky Sea..."
After some careful thought, Lu Changsheng chose to enhance his Divination ability.
He intended to journey to the Starry Sky Sea for his Nascent Soul chance.
With a Third Rank Top Level Divination skill in hand, the whole trip would flow far more easily.
Lu Changsheng eyed the Second Rank Spirit Plant Skill in the system space, and with one mental command, it merged right into his Divination Path.
At once, a torrent of enigmatic insights rushed into his thoughts.
"This must be the Third Rank Way of Divination—truly... deep."
Lu Changsheng sensed the divination wisdom blend into his very instincts; words failed to capture its depth, leaving it simply as 'mystical.'
For the divination path defies easy description indeed.
With that in mind, Lu Changsheng fingered a quick calculation, aiming to gauge his upcoming fortune and misfortune.
All of a sudden, a strong hunch welled up inside him.
Excellent!
A sign of immense good luck!
In a strange twist, his divination revealed a huge joyful occurrence on the horizon.
Lu Changsheng pushed the reading deeper to pinpoint the source of this boon, yet opposition swelled massively.
After what felt like ages, his complexion drained white, and weariness etched his brow, before he faintly grasped the boon's origin.
Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale!
"Is this sign tied to the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale reaching Fourth Rank?"
Lu Changsheng felt a bit at a loss.
He'd drained so much mental effort for just this hazy detail.
The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale hitting Fourth Rank was inevitable anyway—did it truly require divination?
Still, on reflection, a Spiritual Pet's leap to Fourth Rank surely qualified as major fortune.
"I'll find moments to craft a few matching Divination Life Tools."
Lu Changsheng gave a light shake of his head.
Talisman Masters wield special talismanic tools, Array Masters rely on array implements.
And Diviners too possess dedicated Divination Life Tools to sharpen divination's precision and odds of success.
Had Lu Changsheng owned several Upper Class Divination Life Tools, the earlier effort would've been far simpler, sparing that heavy toll on his mind and stamina.
After swallowing a pill and meditating through several days to recover most of his mental vigor, Lu Changsheng stood and exited the Changsheng Hall.
"I nearly overlooked it."
As he stepped from the Changsheng Hall, Lu Changsheng abruptly recalled Ying’er inside the Goddess Furnace.
She'd been placed in the Goddess Furnace prior to his seclusion.
Lately, absorbed in training the Brahman Demon True Body, he hadn't checked on her status.
At once, Lu Changsheng turned back to his Cave Mansion and gazed at the Jade Furnace by the bed, shaped like a reclining goddess.
He lifted his hand a touch, sending his Divine Sense into the furnace.
