LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 59: Eighth Grade Spirit Root, Sixth Lottery Draw!
Chapter 59: Eighth Grade Spirit Root, Sixth Lottery Draw!
In the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed.
On this day, Lu Changsheng’s twenty-second child was born.
Like most children, this one didn’t possess a Spirit Root.
By now, Lu Changsheng had grown accustomed to the disappointment of his children not having Spirit Roots.
He no longer held any expectations.
If a child did have a Spirit Root, he would consider it a pleasant surprise.
However, surprises have a way of arriving suddenly and unexpectedly.
A month later, when Lu Changsheng’s twenty-third child was born, he felt a strange and inexplicable palpitation throughout his entire being.
It was the palpitation of the child possessing a Spirit Root.
This sensation overwhelmed him with an indescribable and mysterious feeling, causing Lu Changsheng to have a premonition.
His own Spirit Root had advanced!
With the enhancement from this child’s Spirit Root, his own Spirit Root had ascended from a Ninth Grade Spirit Root to an Eighth Grade Spirit Root!
At that moment, a notification sound from the system chimed in.
【Congratulations to the host for giving birth to three descendants with Spirit Roots, gaining one lottery draw opportunity!】
“Excellent!”
The surge of excitement from the advancement of his Spirit Root and the notification from the system filled Lu Changsheng with immense joy and excitement.
He hadn’t expected that this child would possess a Spirit Root, let alone elevate his own Spirit Root to the eighth grade.
Moreover, the system rewarded him with a windfall.
These two unexpected surprises, happening simultaneously, overwhelmed him with uncontrollable excitement and joy.
“Husband, what’s wrong with you?”
His wives and concubines beside him couldn’t comprehend why Lu Changsheng suddenly showed such joy.
Lu Changsheng also realized he had become somewhat overly excited.
“It’s just that I’ve finally figured out a problem with a talisman that has been bothering me for a while, so I’m feeling happy and excited for a moment.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and explained.
“Congratulations, husband.”
“Congratulations, husband.”
“Congratulations, husband.”
When several wives and concubines heard this, they also smiled and congratulated him without suspicion or further thought.
“What’s there to congratulate? The Lu Family has added another child, that’s the real joy,” Lu Changsheng waved his hand dismissively.
Internally, he couldn’t help but remind himself that he needed to cultivate a more composed mindset, to remain calm even in the face of great changes.
Otherwise, if situations like this became more frequent, it would be easy for others to detect something amiss.
He walked into the delivery room and immediately saw the midwife holding a swaddled bundle.
“Congratulations, sir, it’s a girl,” the midwife said to Lu Changsheng.
“A girl? A girl is fine too, after all, the first two were boys,” Lu Changsheng replied casually. He didn’t have strong feelings about having sons or daughters.
He took the child from the midwife’s hands. Perhaps because he was a cultivator, practicing the Immortal Posture Technique, combined with the improved conditions of the child’s mother during pregnancy, the child looked much better than a typical newborn, without the usual wrinkles.
Even though Lu Changsheng was pleased to know that this child had a Spirit Root, he didn’t show any special excitement or differentiation at this moment.
After looking at the child for a while, Lu Changsheng left and went to his study.
“With this child’s birth, the system rewards indicate a different level of achievement for the number of Spirit Root children compared to the total number of my children.”
“This is normal; Spirit Root children are obviously on a higher difficulty level. I wonder what the numbers will be like in the future, five? Or maybe ten?” Lu Changsheng thought to himself, but he didn’t dwell on it too much.
Thinking too much about these things would only lead to expectations, which could easily result in disappointment. It’s better to go with the flow.
After all, even if the system didn’t come with a reward, he would still have had this child!
Immediately, Lu Changsheng began the part he had been looking forward to the most.
“System, I want to draw!”
A light red virtual lottery board appeared.
“I wonder what I’ll get this time. I hope it’s a magic treasure,”
Looking at the lottery board in front of him, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.
Due to the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, he had high expectations for magic treasures.
He wanted to see if the system could directly provide him with one for practicing the technique.
After all, while techniques could produce all sorts of effects, as long as a magic treasure was adequate, it could be used for practicing the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique.
“Let’s begin the draw!”
With a thought, golden light began to spin on the light red roulette wheel.
After five seconds, the roulette wheel came to a stop.
Under Lu Changsheng’s nervous and expectant gaze, the golden light stopped at ‘Other.’
【Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Gu insect ‘Peach Blossom Gu’!】
【The reward has been deposited in the system space. The host can check it at any time.】
A butterfly pattern resembling two peach blossoms emerged from the roulette wheel, accompanied by a notification sound from the system.
“A Gu insect, Peach Blossom Gu?” Lu Changsheng frowned upon seeing the reward.
Not getting the technique or magic treasure he wanted didn’t disappoint Lu Changsheng too much.
After all, he had been disappointed many times before.
He knew that with lottery draws, things wouldn’t always go as he wished.
The future was long, and there would be plenty of opportunities for draws.
As long as he worked hard, he would eventually draw the rewards he desired.
He looked at the Peach Blossom Gu in the system space.
[Gu Insect: Peach Blossom Gu]
[Quality: Heavenly Spirit Gu]
[Description: A miraculous Gu insect created by the Gu cultivator ‘Peach Blossom Immortal.’ It can improve the host’s skin, enhance their charm, create an extremely attractive appearance to the opposite sex, and boost the host’s romantic luck.]
Lu Changsheng didn’t know much about Gu insects.
He was aware that within the various arts of cultivation, there were factions similar to beast taming, such as poison, corpse refining, and ghost cultivation.
He hadn’t explored these aspects in detail.
However, due to his trust in the system and the three words ‘Heavenly Spirit Gu’ and the description of its effects, he felt that this Peach Blossom Gu was extraordinary.
It must be a top-grade Gu insect.
“First, the Immortal Posture Technique, and now the Peach Blossom Gu? Does this mean I’m destined to rely on my appearance in the future?”
Lu Changsheng clicked his tongue.
Having experienced the changes brought about by the Immortal Posture Technique, he was quite looking forward to the effects of the Peach Blossom Gu.
After all, he had become quite handsome after practicing the Immortal Posture Technique for more than three years.
Now, with the Peach Blossom Gu, wouldn’t he become the dream of countless immortal maidens in the future?
Especially since the enhancement of the Peach Blossom Gu was aimed at the opposite sex!
Not only did it enhance charm, but it also boosted romantic luck.
Handsome looks and good romantic luck, it was a surefire combination.
It was like a tailor-made assassin for gathering wives and concubines in the future.
“Romantic luck!”
“Romantic luck also falls under the category of luck, although it’s a bit mysterious in the cultivation world. Most books only mention that some people are born with great luck, able to turn bad luck into good, and even stumble upon treasures effortlessly, making remarkable progress on the path of cultivation.”
“Although this Peach Blossom Gu can’t improve a person’s luck, it can enhance their romantic luck. I wonder if with this Peach Blossom Gu, I’ll have continuous romantic encounters in the future on my path of cultivation?”
“I should look for more information about luck and Gu insects later.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
Although he liked to read various books, he only had a superficial understanding of luck and Gu insects.
Now that he had obtained this Peach Blossom Gu, he decided to learn more about these topics in the future.
Without further thought, Lu Changsheng used his mind to extract the Peach Blossom Gu from the system space.
