Chapter 90: The Demonic Curse of Fate! 49 Children!

A peaceful and leisurely life always passes quickly.

Before you know it, more than a month has gone by.

Over the past month, Yun Qianqian has perfectly integrated into Lu Changsheng’s family and has successfully become pregnant.

This made Yu Mocheng and his wife unable to help but admire Lu Changsheng’s efficiency.

During a conversation, Yu Mocheng asked Lu Changsheng how he would raise so many children in the future.

Although it’s true that the poor have their own ways of raising children, and the rich have their own ways, if the children have a Spirit Root, no matter how they are raised, it would be a significant expense.

Facing this inquiry, Lu Changsheng responded with a carefree expression, saying that as a Talisman Master, he also has some savings.

He has been setting aside money for the future to cultivate his children.

After all, he can endure hardship himself, but he absolutely cannot let his children suffer.

When Yu Mocheng heard Lu Changsheng’s words, he suddenly revealed an expression like an old man looking at his phone.

He believed that Lu Changsheng won’t let his children suffer.

But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t think of Lu Changsheng as the type to suffer himself.

He, Yu Mocheng, has never seen anyone as good at enjoying life as Lu Changsheng.

Not only does he have a harem of wives and concubines serving him, but his daily expenses on food, drink, and shopping are also something that made Yu Mocheng, who only has ten spirit stones a month, feel envious.

But Yu Mocheng wouldn’t ask too many questions about this kind of thing.

With the relationship between Yun Qianqian and Lu Changsheng’s family, although they have more interactions, it’s not like they’re a close family.

It was enough for them to know that Yun Qianqian was living a good life at Lu Changsheng’s house.

On this day, Lu Changsheng was drawing a talisman in his spiritual talisman shop.

An indescribable mysterious feeling suddenly surged through his whole body.

It gave Lu Changsheng a feeling that his Spirit Root had advanced!

From an Eighth-grade Spirit Root to a Seventh-grade Spirit Root!

“Ah, have I given birth to a child with a spirit root?”

Under this excitement, Lu Changsheng suddenly let out a loud scream, his face filled with joy.

As a result, the talisman he was making failed, and the talisman paper emitted blue smoke.

Lu Changsheng didn’t mind, and after feeling it for a moment, he shook his head and said, “No, this is not the feeling of a child’s Spirit Root adding to my own.”

“It is just a natural, gradual improvement that allows my Spirit Root to advance from the eight level to the seventh level!”

“That’s right, my four children’s Spirit Roots are still developing, so it’s the same for my Spirit Root.”

“With the previous additions, my Spirit Root was already close to the eight level, and now, with the continuous growth, it has naturally advanced to a seventh level Spirit Root!”

Lu Changsheng immediately understood what was happening.

At that time, he actually had two women in Qingzhu Mountain who were pregnant, and their children were about to be born at that time.

However, he could sense that he hadn’t received any additional Spirit Root enhancement.

There was only a deep sense that his Spirit Root had evolved.

“Seventh Grade Spirit Root!”

“Ah, I’ve finally advanced to a Seventh-grade Spirit Root! If I take another step forward, I’ll be a medium-grade Spirit Root immortal seedling!”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and his face was filled with joy.

Spirit Root was related to a person’s cultivation foundation!

For Lu Changsheng, Spirit Root wasn’t just related to his cultivation foundation.

It was also connected to the quality of his future children’s Spirit Roots.

After all, the quality of a parent’s Spirit Root could influence the quality of their children’s Spirit Roots.

The better his Spirit Root, the better his future children’s Spirit Roots would be.

Although he was working hard to improve the quality of his children’s mothers, how could he, as the father, fall behind?

“If I continue like this, the later-born children will not only have better environmental conditions but also stand on the shoulders of their older siblings, with an even higher upper limit.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh.

He felt that if he continued to cultivate like this, in the future he might be able to produce a family of high-grade Spirit Roots, or even Heavenly Spirit Roots.

He immediately tried to experience the cultivation speed of his Seventh Grade Spirit Root.

However, the silent and gradual progress of his Spirit Root made him feel that there wasn’t much difference from before.

“The Eight grade Spirit Root and the Seventh grade Spirit Root are both low-grade Spirit Roots, and this advancement doesn’t have any significant changes.”

“It is estimated that there will be a significant improvement from a low-grade Spirit Root to a mid-grade Spirit Root.”

“I don’t know how much help my Spirit Root, which has advanced from eight to seventh grade, will be in breaking the bottleneck of the middle to late stages of Qi Refinement.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly and looked at his Pilltian, which was like a sticky, flowing spiritual energy.

He sat in meditation and cultivated for two hours every day.

But his cultivation had stagnated, and he had made no progress.

All he could do was to gradually grind and wait for the opportunity to break through.

However, if he really wanted to break through, Lu Changsheng had inquired about it.

The Advanced Level Breaking Pill, which cost 1,200 Spirit Stones, could help him break through the middle stage of Qi Refinement and enter the later stage.

He only needed to save for one year, and he would be able to afford it.

But Lu Changsheng didn’t think it was necessary.

He didn’t go out, didn’t fight with others, and didn’t go on any adventures or explorations.

With so many Talisman scripts by his side, his cultivation was almost sufficient, and there was no need to rush.

Taking some Yellow Dragon Pills to aid his cultivation was enough.

Those Breakthrough Pills were still unnecessary, and they would affect his future foundation.

“Guan Xin is about to give birth, and I wonder if this child has a Spirit Root.”

Lu Changsheng slightly relaxed his muscles, looking out the window at the vast, clear blue sky, and a few expectations arose in his heart.

He had already become quite open-minded about his wives giving birth to children without Spirit Roots.

But for those with Spirit Roots, he still had some expectations, and his heart couldn’t help but feel a few emotions.

Ten days later.

Lu Changsheng discovered that his two servant girls were pregnant.

The four servant girls he had previously purchased had only one left who wasn’t pregnant.

But Lu Changsheng didn’t mind, and he wasn’t in a hurry to replenish them.

After all, there was only one big stick.

Now that he had so many ordinary servant girls, he would just save up and increase the number of high-quality servant girls.

Moreover, Lu Miaoyun was still in Jiulong Market.

Out of respect for his wife, Lu Changsheng would still slightly restrain himself.

At least until next month, when Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen returned to Qingzhu Mountain, he would go to White Jade Tower to take a stroll.

Six days later.

On this day, Lu Changsheng didn’t go to the spiritual talisman shop and just sat at home.

Because Guan Xin’s child was about to be born.

“Wow!”

As a crying sound echoed out, Lu Changsheng felt a profound, mysterious sensation.

It was the sensation of a Spirit Root!

The child had a Spirit Root, and its enhancement was affecting him!

At the same time, a system prompt tone sounded.

【Congratulations to the host for giving birth to five children with spiritual roots. You will get a chance to draw a lottery! 】

This sensation and the system prompt tone made Lu Changsheng’s heart extremely joyful and excited.

However, as his mood gradually improved, he didn’t show excessive excitement.

His face only revealed a faint, gentle smile, appearing warm and refined, like a spring breeze.

He and Lu Miaoyun walked into the room.

“It’s a young lady, sir.”

The midwife said with a smile.

“Good, you’ve worked hard.”

Lu Changsheng said and handed over a spirit stone.

This midwife was invited from Jiulong Market, and she had helped with the previous two births as well.

He felt that in the future, he would need to hire a permanent midwife to stay at home.

Although his wives had spirit rice to nourish their bodies and wouldn’t have any problems with childbirth, this measure was necessary to ensure absolute safety.

“Thank you, Lord Lu, thank you, Madam Lu.”

The midwife took the spirit stone with a smile like a chrysanthemum.

Lu Changsheng picked up the baby.

It was a very lovely baby.

Knowing that the child had a Spirit Root, Lu Changsheng’s heart couldn’t help but feel a few more emotions, and the more he looked, the more adorable he felt.

This scene also made Guan Xin reveal a happy smile.

When she knew she had given birth to a daughter, she had a slight feeling of loss.

She was afraid that Lu Changsheng might not like it.

After all, in this world, there were still many people who valued boys over girls.

But seeing Lu Changsheng’s smile, she felt much more at ease.

After the child was born, Lu Changsheng didn’t hurry to leave and draw a prize.

He still accompanied Guan Xin and his wives, chatting and talking.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that he said he would go to the shop to take a look.

After arriving at the spiritual talisman shop, Lu Changsheng went straight to the third floor and began the part he was most looking forward to.

“System, I want to draw a prize!”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Immediately, a pale red system prize wheel appeared.

“I don’t know what I’ll get this time. If it’s not a cultivation method, another magical treasure would be fine too.”

Looking at the prize wheel, Lu Changsheng’s heart was filled with anticipation.

After all, the Black Dragon Magic Bead had greatly helped his cultivation.

If he could obtain a magical treasure that would allow him to cultivate all four limbs, it would be like flying.

Lu Changsheng didn’t think too much and directly said, “Start the draw!”

Immediately, the golden light on the Roulette Wheel began to rotate.

Under Lu Changsheng’s expectant gaze, the golden light slowly stopped on the ‘Treasure’ section of the prize wheel.

【Ding! Congratulations host on obtaining a rare treasure: the Demonic Curse of Fate!】

【The reward has been sent to the system space, and the host can view it at any time】

A dark, mysterious scroll with strange flower patterns appeared, accompanied by the system prompt tone.

“Rare treasure, Demonic Curse of Fate?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the reward he had drawn, feeling a bit surprised and unsure what it was.

He immediately looked towards the system space.

Let’s see what this Demonic Curse of Fate was.

【Demonic Curse of Fate】

【Grade: 3rd-grade】

【Description: An ancient witch tribe’s artifact, refined with heavenly and earthly demonic energy. As long as you gaze at the script and think of someone, you can curse them remotely. On the 49th day, the cursed person’s flesh and soul will be bound, and they will eventually die from withering flesh and extinguished soul.】

The description of the Demonic Curse of Fate’s effects appeared.

“Is this a curse-type treasure?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Demonic Curse of Fate, and his heart immediately understood what it was.

It wasn’t a spiritual treasure.

But its effects were similar to those of spiritual treasures, belonging to the category of rare and unusual treasures.

This rare treasure looked very powerful, but Lu Changsheng was clear that, as a third-grade treasure, it could only curse up to the Core Formation Stage.

Moreover, treasures like this would certainly have limitations and side effects.

He directly retrieved the Demonic Curse of Fate.

Let’s see the detailed introduction of this rare treasure.

Immediately, a dark, thick book with no words, only faint black patterns, appeared before Lu Changsheng.

The patterns in the book seemed like threads of demonic energy, slowly flowing, giving off an eerie feeling.

As the Demonic Curse of Fate was retrieved, Lu Changsheng’s mind also received additional information.

The detailed introduction of this rare treasure.

It was just as he had guessed.

The Demonic Curse of Fate looked powerful, but ultimately, it was just a third-grade treasure with limited effects.

Firstly, this Demonic Curse of Fate was a one-time use treasure.

Once used, it would be gone.

Then, it could only curse up to the Core Formation Stage.

Moreover, there were side effects.

Cursing others would require him to pay a price.

He would lose lifespan!

And his energy and blood would wither, requiring him to calm his mind and recover.

Cursing a Qi Refining period cultivator would reduce his lifespan by 1-3 years!

Cursing a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would reduce his lifespan by 10-30 years!

Cursing a Core Formation Stage cultivator would reduce his lifespan by over 100 years!

As for the Nascent Soul true lord, although it’s impossible to curse them to death, if one wanted to, they could still make the opponent feel uneasy, causing them to be plagued by demonic energy, leading to their physical body’s decline and their spirit’s withering.

As for the cost, it depends on one’s own cultivation, strength, and lifespan.

If one doesn’t have the strength of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, doing so would basically lead to their physical body’s decline, their spirit’s extinction, and ultimately, their death.

“This demonic curse of fate scripture, how can I put it into words?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Demonic Curse of Fate in front of him, which resembled a framed portrait, and clicked his tongue, unsure of how to describe it.

Its power was undeniable.

As long as one silently observed their target, they could cast a curse from a distance, ignoring the distance between them.

Unlike some curses he had seen in books or heard about, which required collecting the target’s hair, blood, or used items, and so on.

In other words, even at his Qi Refining Stage he could curse a Foundation Establishment cultivator to death just by looking at them once.

If he were to risk his life, although he might not be able to curse a Nascent Soul true lord to death, he could still make them suffer from demonic energy, leading to their physical body’s decline, their spirit’s withering, and a significant loss of strength, making it difficult for them to make progress in their cultivation.

But in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, the cost was too great and not worth it.

After all, a Qi Refining stage cultivator’s lifespan was only around a hundred years or so.

If he were to curse a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he would have to reduce his lifespan by twenty to thirty years.

Moreover, it wouldn’t just reduce his lifespan; his qi and blood would also decline, affecting his strength and cultivation, not to mention his ability to have children.

“However, this treasure doesn’t have an owner, and its use isn’t restricted to anyone.”

“If I’m willing, I can give it to someone else and let them reduce their lifespan to help me curse someone.”

“But who would be willing to take such a risk? It’s too Pillgerous.”

“So, I’ll keep this treasure as a hidden trump card and I will only use it when absolutely necessary.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the demonic curse scripture in his hand, shook his head slightly, and put it away in his storage bag.

He decided that if some Foundation Establishment stage cultivator were to provoke him in the future, he would carve their portrait onto this demonic curse scripture.

As for Nascent Soul cultivators, that would be a mutual destruction, it was not worth it.

After completing the lottery, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a sense of disappointment.

He then sat down to meditate and cultivate, checking how much his daughter’s Spirit Root had enhanced his cultivation.

After a long while, through his experience, Lu Changsheng felt that the enhancement was less than 10%.

He estimated that his daughter’s Spirit Root was at most an eight-grade Spirit Root.

However, Lu Changsheng was still very satisfied with this.

At this stage, having a Spirit Root was enough; what more could he ask for?

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Lu Changsheng believed that as long as he worked hard, his natural talent would eventually surpass that of others, reaching an unprecedented level.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed.

On this day, the Second Elder came to visit Lu Changsheng’s home again.

After casually strolling around, he mentioned that he would be returning to Qingzhu Mountain in half a month.

He asked Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoyun, and others if they wanted to return with him at that time.

Lu Changsheng naturally expressed his desire to return.

Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen also expressed their intention to return to Qingzhu Mountain to nurture their pregnancies, allowing their other sisters to come over.

Originally, Lu Changsheng had planned to send Guan Xin to Qingzhu Mountain for cultivation and bring the other children along.

However, due to the limited seating on the flying boat, with only three available spots, he had to give up on the idea.

Lu Changsheng also asked the Second Elder if it was safe for infants to ride the flying boat.

He was planning to send the three children back to Qingzhu Mountain to be nurtured.

The Second Elder replied that there wouldn’t be any major issues, but Lu Changsheng should still purchase a few Warm Yang Jade stones.

These Warm Yang Jade stones were a type of spiritual jade that could isolate cold air and nourish the physical body.

With these, the infants wouldn’t catch a cold on the flying boat and would sleep more soundly.

After the Second Elder finished speaking, he chatted for a while before leaving with a smile.

He didn’t come just to notify Lu Changsheng about returning to Qingzhu Mountain.

Would the Second Elder of the Lu Family personally come for such a trivial matter?

His main purpose was to observe whether Lu Changsheng had stopped his crazy behavior of taking in concubines and buying servant girls, indulging in sensual pleasures, after the Fourth Elder’s advice.

Through this observation, Lu Changsheng’s performance was still satisfactory.

Although he still had many children, it was much better than before.

Lu Miaoyun also told him that Lu Changsheng had only taken in one small concubine and one servant girl in the past half year, which made him very happy.

He felt that the effect of the Fourth Elder’s advice was still quite good.

In preparation for their return in half a month, the next day, Lu Changsheng took Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and the other women to stroll around the streets.

They were preparing to buy some gifts to bring back.

During the process, Lu Changsheng saw that the Warm Yang Jade stones mentioned by the Second Elder were quite affordable, only two spirit stones per piece.

He directly purchased thirty-five pieces.

After all, as a father, how could he be partial to some children?

Even if he had a slight preference for certain children, he would still try to be fair in such small matters.

So, with thirty-five children, he would directly buy thirty-five sets, one for each.

Later, Lu Changsheng strolled around the market again, inquiring about the price of the Rejuvenation PIll medicine.

His wives had accompanied him for so many years, giving birth to so many children, so he naturally had to give them some valuable gifts.

Among them, the best was naturally the Rejuvenation Pill.

It had the effect of eternal youth.

However, the Rejuvenation Pill was a second-grade pill, and its price was extremely high.

There were two types of first-grade pill that could preserve one’s appearance: the Fixation Pill and the Nourishment Pill.

The Fixation Pill could fix one’s appearance, but it would still change gradually after about ten years.

Its price was 100 spirit stones.

The Nourishment Pill had the effect of nourishing and preserving one’s appearance.

It was a multi-benefit pill, and taking one every three years or so could also have the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill.

Its price was 20 spirit stones per piece.

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and directly purchased 16 Nourishment Pill elixirs.

He gave one to each of his current wives.

The total cost was 320 spirit stones, but the shopkeeper gave him a discount of 20 spirit stones, so he ended up paying 300 spirit stones.

It was only at this time that Lu Changsheng felt that raising so many wives and children was not easy.

Ten days later.

Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoyun, and Qu Zhenzhen, each holding a baby, went to the East District’s large courtyard to prepare to return to Qingzhu Mountain with the Second Elder.

The three Lu Family juniors who were accompanying them were all Lu Miaoyun’s cousins.

Two of them had also been with them on the previous trip.

They saw that Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen were still doing well before they left.

This time, not only were their bellies slightly bulging, but they were also each holding a baby.

They couldn’t help but be shocked.

Later, they asked Lu Changsheng what was going on, where the children came from.

Facing such questions, Lu Changsheng didn’t hide the truth.

He directly said that he had taken in a few small concubines and bought some servant girls.

The three children were recently born and were being brought back to Qingzhu Mountain to be nurtured.

Upon hearing this, the three of them couldn’t help but look at each other in shock.

As Lu Family juniors, they naturally knew about Lu Changsheng’s reputation in Qingzhu Mountain.

He was good at producing children.

But they didn’t expect that Lu Changsheng would be so unstoppable, having children wherever he went.

Especially Lu Miaoyun’s cousin, who asked Lu Changsheng how many children he had now.

Lu Changsheng replied that he had 35 children, and 14 more were on the way, which left the three of them stunned.

Even the Second Elder, who was driving the flying boat, couldn’t help but twitch his mouth and look shocked.

They thought back to when the Lu Family had taken in a son-in-law.

The requirement was to have 50 children in 20 years.

But now, in just over six years, Lu Changsheng already had 49 children.
