Chapter 55: Jade Bamboo Rice, Profound Knowledge!

 

In the dining hall, there was a large rotating round table where the whole family could sit together.

 

Of course, the children were still young and didn't sit at the table. When they grew up or if there were more wives and concubines, they wouldn't be able to fit.

 

"Husband, this Jade Bamboo Rice was cooked by Xiaoqing with spiritual fire for three hours. Try it and see how it tastes."

 

After Lu Changsheng sat in the main seat, Lü Miaoyun served him a bowl of rice in a small wooden barrel made of green jade bamboo.

 

Every grain of rice in this bowl was lush and translucent, like pieces of jade, emitting a refreshing bamboo fragrance that made one's mouth water.

 

Lu Changsheng took a bite and felt the lingering fragrance in his mouth. He took two more bites and commented, "It truly deserves to be a first-grade spiritual rice. The taste is indeed excellent."

 

"You all should try it too."

 

Lu Changsheng said to his wives and concubines.

 

This Jade Bamboo Rice was just delivered by the Lu family yesterday.

 

It was one of the benefits given by the Lu family when he became a middle-grade talisman master.

 

After becoming a middle-grade talisman master, his basic benefits didn't change much.

 

In addition to the ten spiritual stones, thirty catties of spiritual rice, and a bottle of Yellow Dragon Pill he received every month, he now also received an additional twenty catties of the Lu family's special "Jade Bamboo Rice" each month.

 

Each grain of this Jade Bamboo Rice was like jade.

 

Not only did it contain abundant spiritual energy and have a sweet taste, but it also had the effect of nourishing the body, purifying impurities, and purifying the flesh and blood.

 

Ordinary grains, meat, and vegetables all leave impurities in the body.

 

That's why cultivators usually eat spiritual rice.

 

And this Jade Bamboo Rice was even better than ordinary spiritual rice; it was a first-grade spiritual rice.

 

Even the Lu family's annual production was limited.

 

Only the elders of the Lu family, guest elders, and some others received a certain amount each month.

 

This time, when Lu Changsheng was promoted to a middle-grade talisman master and married Lü Miaoyun, the Lu family gave him a monthly quota of twenty catties.

In addition to this reward of Jade Bamboo Rice, the other change was that he would receive additional spiritual stone rewards for completing the talisman-making tasks assigned by the Lu family each month.

 

Unlike before, where he didn't receive any rewards for completing the tasks assigned by the Lu family each month.

 

This reward wasn't much, but it was currently ten spiritual stones.

 

But if he could exceed the task requirements and produce more talismans, the Lu family said they would purchase them at market price.

 

This could be considered as a disguised improvement in treatment, adding a bit of motivation.

 

Lu Changsheng naturally had no objections to this and felt that it was already enough.

 

After all, if you really thought about it, the Lu family giving Lü Miaoyun to him as a wife and even bringing along a little maid could be considered a reward.

 

After spending these few days together, Lu Changsheng quite liked Lü Miaoyun, his little wife.

 

Although she had a bit of a childish personality, she was very obedient and sensible.

 

Not only did she not act like a young lady, but she also quickly got along well with his other wives and concubines in the backyard, and they lived in harmony, showing a bit of the demeanor of a virtuous wife.

 

This made Lu Changsheng very satisfied.

 

As the saying goes, beauty is not as good as a virtuous heart, and a virtuous wife supports my lofty aspirations.

 

For Lu Changsheng at the moment, marrying a wife and taking concubines, appearance, figure, and appearance were not his main considerations.

 

Being above average in appearance was enough; spiritual roots, aptitude, and moral character were the main factors.

 

"Thank you, husband."

 

"Thank you, husband."

 

"Thank you, husband."

 

Hearing Lu Changsheng's words, his wives and concubines began to eat.

 

However, there wasn't much Jade Bamboo Rice, only a small barrel was cooked. After Lu Changsheng filled a large bowl, the others only had a small taste.

 

At this time, Xiaoqing also brought a tray and placed the remaining dishes on the table.

 

As Lü Miaoyun's maid, she learned the skills of spiritual plants and cuisine.

 

Although she wasn't a spiritual chef, her culinary skills were excellent and could be considered top-notch in the secular world.

 

So after coming here with Lü Miaoyun, she became a little kitchen maid.

 

"There's still room, Xiaoqing, sit down and eat."

"I don't have so many rules here."

 

Lu Changsheng glanced at Xiaoqing and said.

"I'm not hungry, sir."

 

Little Qing looked at Lu Changsheng with clear, big eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on her face as she spoke crisply.

 

"Little Qing, if the master asks you to sit, then sit."

 

Lu Miaoyun, who was beside them, also knew that her husband didn't pay much attention to formalities.

 

She stood up and pulled Little Qing's arm, motioning for her to sit beside them.

 

"Thank you, sir."

 

Little Qing thanked him crisply, and then she served herself a bowl of rice and started eating it in small bites.

 

That night.

 

Afterwards.

 

"Husband."

 

Lu Miaoyun was covered in sweat, weakly lying in Lu Changsheng's arms, and with a shy and timid voice, she said, "I can't go on anymore, let Little Qing come in and serve you~"

 

Lu Changsheng felt a slight warmth in his heart when he heard this.

 

His little wife was really considerate and obedient.

 

"It's alright, let me take care of you first."

 

Lu Changsheng pinched his wife's cheek and then got up.

 

"Hus...husband~"

 

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, over a month had passed.

 

With the nourishment of daily meals of jade bamboo rice and spirit wine, Lu Changsheng could clearly feel that his physical condition had improved significantly compared to before.

 

However, there was still no progress in the Hundred Refining Body Technique.

 

There was no way around it, authentic body refining techniques were like this.

 

They were powerful, but the threshold for cultivation was really high, making it very difficult to get started, with a very high requirement for physical foundation.

 

Lu Changsheng's body was already considered quite good, as it hadn't been depleted by indulging in women, but it couldn't be said to have a solid physical foundation.

 

So if he wanted to cultivate the Hundred Refining Body Technique, he could only rely on slowly nurturing his body and enduring the passage of time.

He estimated that with the current progress, it would take at least two to three years to get started.

 

Unless, as he had previously thought, he could take a shortcut by obtaining a treasure through the system's lottery, and use the refining method in the Hundred Refining Body Technique to integrate the treasure into his body, using the treasure to nurture himself.

 

But that was still a distant possibility.

 

Not long ago, his twenty-first child was born.

 

To be able to draw a lottery, he would need to have at least nine more children.

 

Moreover, even if he had thirty children, there was no guarantee that the system would give him the money.

 

But regardless of whether the system gave it or not, Lu Changsheng always remembered that having children was the right way.

 

With their efforts over the past month, Lu Miaoyun had also successfully become pregnant.

 

Although it was said that female cultivators would damage their vitality and greatly affect their cultivation after becoming pregnant.

 

But as far as this matter was concerned, the high-level members of the Lu family were all happy to see it.

 

Because in the eyes of the high-level members of the Lu family, the more children the couple had, the more stable their marriage would be, and the more firmly Lu Changsheng would be tied to the Lu family.

 

Lu Changsheng was also very happy.

 

Lu Miaoyun had a seventh-grade spiritual root, and there was a high probability that the children they had together would also have spiritual roots.

 

Especially with the example of Qu Zhenzhen, he was very much looking forward to the child in Lu Miaoyun's belly.

 

After Lu Miaoyun became pregnant, the family head, Lu Yuanding, and the four elders all sent nutritional supplements.

 

In the cultivation world, there was a somewhat mystical saying.

 

If the mother had a good environment and good nutrition during pregnancy, with sufficient spiritual energy nourishing the fetus, then the probability of the child having spiritual roots would be higher, and the quality of the spiritual roots would be better.

 

As for the truth of this matter, it was difficult to verify.

 

But now that there were conditions, Lu Changsheng was willing to believe in this mystical saying.

 

He took out some spirit stones so that his wives and children could eat spiritual rice and vegetables every day.

 

Before, the thirty catties of spiritual rice that the Lu family received every month was not enough for their family.

 

Basically, he was given priority, and his wives and children could only occasionally eat spiritual rice and vegetables.

 

But now, the welfare benefits of the Lu family had also improved somewhat, coupled with the stable income from selling talismans through the Hongyi line, as well as the harvest from Niutou Mountain, Lu Changsheng was able to take out money and spirit stones to improve the dietary conditions of his wives and children.
