Two months later.

 

Lu Changsheng’s seventh child was born.

 

Lu Changsheng, who was standing outside the delivery room, became energetic when he heard the crying in the room, with a look of surprise on his face.

 

But the next moment, a somewhat complicated look appeared in his eyes.

 

At the moment the child was born, Lu Changsheng felt an inexplicable sensation.

 

Spirit Root!

 

It was his Spirit Root that was throbbing!

 

At the same time, a notification sound from the system confirmed that it wasn’t just his imagination.

 

【Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a spirit root child for the first time and winning a lottery chance!】

 

“My earlier speculation was correct.”

 

“When a child has a spirit root, it’s there from birth, but it’s not fully formed. It has to develop and grow until about five or six years of age to be fully manifested and can be detected.”

 

“And since I have the system, the child’s spiritual root is added to mine, so I sensed it as soon as this child was born.”

 

“This also means that my previous six children all lacked spiritual roots.”

 

Upon learning that this child had a spirit root, Lu Changsheng naturally felt extremely excited and pleased.

 

After all, only children with Spirit Roots can cultivate immortality.

 

Only then can the innate talent be added to him, increasing his cultivation speed.

 

But at the same time, the confirmation that his previous six children all lacked Spirit Roots made Lu Changsheng’s heart complex and uneasy.

 

Even though he was mentally prepared for it, he still felt a bit uncomfortable to see it in reality.

 

The lack of spiritual roots means that the child can only become an ordinary person in the future, and he will have to watch his own children go through the cycle of life and death.

 

This is one of the cruelties of the world of cultivation.

 

“My husband, what’s wrong with you?”

 

Lu Lanshu, who was standing next to him, looked at Lu Changsheng, who suddenly seemed lost in thought, and asked with a worried expression on her face.

 

“I’m fine, I just suddenly thought of some things.”

 

Lu Changsheng shook his head, clearing his thoughts.

 

Birth, old age, illness and death are all human nature.

 

Not to mention that his children have no spiritual roots.

 

His wives have no spiritual roots either.

 

In the future they will also go through the cycle of life and death before him.

 

Even though he has the system and can cultivate immortality, it does not mean that he has any hope of longevity, or that he can cultivate into an immortal and live forever.

 

So why worry about it now?

 

Of course, with the system in place, if his children can all go on the path of cultivation in the future, nothing could be better.

 

If not, with him as their father, he can ensure that his children grow up without suffering as much as possible, provide them with a good environment for growth, and live a happy and fulfilling life.

 

“Congratulations, Master, it’s a little master.”

 

At that moment, the midwife came out holding the baby wrapped in a blanket.

 

“A son?”

 

“A son indeed. As my first child with spiritual roots, he may face some hardships on the path of cultivation with me in the future.”

 

Lu Changsheng took the baby in his arms and looked at the red-faced, wrinkled baby in his swaddling clothes, a smile creeping across his face.

 

“Let’s call this child Xianzhi.”

 

Lu Changsheng lifted the child up and said quietly. 

 

This was his first child with spiritual roots.

 

He hoped that this child would be able to accompany him on the path of cultivation until he ascended to immortality.

 

“Xianzhi?”

 

Lu Lanshu, Lu Zier and several other women were somewhat surprised to hear this name.

 

Before, when Lu Changsheng named his children, it was always peace, joy, and tranquility.

 

Why did this child suddenly have a different name?

 

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the women’s faces, Lu Changsheng paused for a moment and chuckled, “I was going to tell you all later, but today I successfully inscribed a first-order talisman and became a novice talisman master.”

 

“This can be considered the first step on the path of cultivation. Since this child was born today, I have named him Xianzhi, hoping that he will also embark on the path of immortality in the future.”

 

Lu Changsheng made an explanation.

 

It was an explanation not only for the women, but also for the Lu family.

 

In the future, if out of all the children, only this one was found to have spiritual roots, it would easily lead to suspicion.

 

“Congratulations, husband!”

 

“Congratulations, husband!”

 

“Today is truly a double celebration!”

 

“The husband has just become a talisman master, and now this child is born. Such an auspicious sign.”

 

Upon hearing this, the women immediately showed joy on their faces and congratulated Lu Changsheng.

 

Under the influence of their environment, they also had a good understanding of talisman making.

 

Knowing that their husband had become a talisman master, their status within the Lu family would be completely different from now on.

 

As wives and concubines, their status would also rise.

 

The whole family entered the delivery room with joy to visit the concubine who had given birth to the child.

 

This concubine was named Lu Yuzhu.

 

When she heard the news about Lu Changsheng becoming a talisman master and the name of her son, she was also very happy.

 

After a short chat, everyone left the delivery room. Lu Changsheng handed the child to Lu Lanshu and went into the study to begin his third lottery drawing.

 

“System, I want to draw.”

 

It was still the familiar lottery wheel.

 

Having drawn twice before, Lu Changsheng looked at the wheel with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

 

“I hope I don’t get something useless like the Immortal Gesture Technique again! Give me something useful this time!”

 

Lu Changsheng prayed silently in his heart and then said, “Start the draw!”

 

Immediately.

 

A golden light began to spin on the pale red roulette.

 

Under Lu Changsheng’s hopeful gaze, the golden light slowed down and finally stopped above the prize column.

 

【Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the Golden Brick talisman!】

 

【The reward has been placed in the system room, the host can check it at any time】

 

An image of a golden brick pattern, accompanied by the glittering golden talisman, appeared with the system prompt.

 

“A talisman?” 

 

Upon hearing this prompt, Lu Changsheng’s expression was instantly filled with immense surprise.

 

He had seen information about talismans in a Lu Family scripture before.

 

This was a type of treasure that fell between talismans and magic treasures.

 

It sealed some of the power of a magical treasure into a specially made talisman, allowing low-level cultivators to temporarily wield the power of a magical treasure.

 

However, it was only about one or two percent of the power of the original treasure.

 

But one or two percent was still a lot.

 

After all, it was a magic treasure!

 

Something that only Nascent Soul realm cultivators could use.

 

It was already an overwhelming killing force for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

 

Talismans were extremely valuable, priceless treasures. Lu Changsheng had only seen them in books, and had never expected to draw one himself.

 

Lu Changsheng immediately checked the talisman in the system space.

 

[Talisman: Golden Brick]

 

[Description: A talisman created by the Golden Light True Person using their high-grade magical treasure, Golden Brick. When used, it will summon a golden brick to attack the enemy with three-tenths of the power of Golden Brick].

 

[Note: The full power can be unleashed three times. Only Foundation Establishment Stage spiritual power can fully unleash the power; Qi Refining stage spiritual power can only unleash part of the power].

 

“A high-level magical treasure was used to create this talisman. That means this talisman is stronger than ordinary talismans!”

 

Lu Changsheng looked at the information on the talisman, his expression filled with excitement.

 

Talisman treasures are refined by Immortals using their own magical treasures. In terms of power, it naturally varies according to the grade and quality of the magic treasure.

 

For example, this golden brick talisman treasure was refined from a higher-grade magical treasure, which means that its power is also among the top talisman treasures.

 

“When fully unleashed three times, this talisman treasure will become void.”

 

“With my cultivation at the Qi Refining Stage, I can only use about ten to twenty percent of its power. I should be able to use it about ten times,” Lu Changsheng thought.

 

Each time the talisman treasure is used, the power sealed inside will be consumed. Once the power is exhausted, the talisman treasure will naturally become void.

 

Unless the original magical treasure used to refine it is found and cared for to replenish its power, it cannot be repaired.

 

This talisman treasure obtained from the system cannot be repaired, of course.

 

Also, there aren’t many Immortals who are willing to use the power of their own magic treasure to refine talisman treasures.

 

Mostly, it’s the Immortals who are nearing the end of their lives and about to pass over who do this to leave treasures to protect their descendants.
