“Could it be that this Peach Blossom Immortal is some kind of flower thief?”

“Otherwise, what upstanding person would cultivate such a Gu?!”

“Not only does it shape an attractive appearance to the opposite sex, but it also enhances one’s peach blossom luck, and employs such despicable methods…”

Having fully grasped the effects of the Peach Blossom Gu, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head.

However, he did not mind these aspects.

After all, whether something is good or bad depends on the user.

Being an upright gentleman like himself, even if the Peach Blossom Gu was indecent, he would put it to good use.

The next moment, Lu Changsheng put away the Peach Blossom Gu.

The Peach Blossom Gu flew directly to the center of his forehead, forming a pink peach blossom petal mark on his brow.

In the time that followed, this Peach Blossom Gu would subtly improve his physical condition.

And imperceptibly boost his peach blossom luck.

Lu Changsheng touched the peach blossom mark on his forehead and, with a thought, the mark immediately dimmed and disappeared from view.

Normally, if he didn’t use the Peach Blossom Gu, this peach blossom mark could stay hidden from view.

It would only appear when he used the Five Accumulations Peach Blossom Miasma.

Otherwise, it would be rather odd, and somewhat effeminate, for a grown man to have a peach blossom mark on his forehead.

“I’m here on Qingzhu Mountain all day and never go out, I wonder if this peach blossom luck will be of any use?”

Thinking about that young miss, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel a sense of expectation.

He left the practice room to see that the night had already grown dark outside.

Lu Changsheng went to a secluded courtyard, picked up Jiu’er and Shui’er, his two favored concubines, and carried them to the bedchamber to start his efforts.

He had been giving both of them special attention lately, but neither had become pregnant yet.

Lu Changsheng was not concerned about this.

He had checked and found nothing wrong with the women’s health; they were fertile.

With persistent efforts, success would come sooner or later.

Moreover.

Such matters were not only about the results, but also about fully experiencing and savoring the process.

Afterward!

Afterward!

Afterward

“Hiss”

Lu Changsheng lay back comfortably on the bedchamber, his palm gently stroking the two women’s red and blue hair, as smooth as satin.

Despite having shared the bed and been attended to many times over such a long period,

he still found himself insatiable, feeling immense enjoyment.

Six days later.

Lu Changsheng found out that Shui’er had successfully conceived, and there was a new breath of life in her womb.

Likewise, after his nightly unwavering efforts, one month later, Jiu’er also successfully conceived.

Counting the children in the wombs of these two favored concubines, Lu Changsheng calculated that the total number of his children was exactly thirty.

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

That meant that once the remaining six children were born, the system might give out Child Money.

He was still very much looking forward to the system’s Child Money.

After all, at this stage, he couldn’t count on his children at all, and could only rely on the system to lend him a hand.

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

He had been refining the Peach Blossom Gu for over two months now.

At first, Lu Changsheng had been quite expectant of the Peach Blossom Gu.

But as the two months passed, he felt that he hadn’t undergone any changes, nor had the so-called peach blossom luck appeared.

This caused his anticipation to nearly vanish; he no longer paid any attention to the Peach Blossom Gu.

After all, in terms of appearance, he was already so handsome that any enhancement from the Peach Blossom Gu would be just gilding the lily for him.

As for peach blossom luck, such a nebulous thing wasn’t something he had any expectations for.

On this day.

Inside the Practice Room, while Lu Changsheng was sitting in meditation and refining Qi, he suddenly felt a throb.

The bottleneck where he had been stuck at the Third Level Energy Refinement for a year finally showed a trace of loosening.

The Fourth Elder had provided him with guidance on his cultivation practices, helping him understand that this sense of loosening was the opportunity to break through from the Third Level Energy Refinement to the Fourth Level.

He instantly took out a Yellow Dragon Elixir from his Storage Bag and swallowed it, then grasped several Spirit Stones, closed his eyes to concentrate, and rapidly circulated the Returning Origin Technique.

No sooner had the elixir entered his body than it dissolved, rapidly depleting under the operation of Spiritual Power, as Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stones in his hand surged into his body. Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Power circulated faster and faster, his Spiritual Pressure grew greater and greater, even carrying a sense of irresistibility.

After a long time.

“Boom!”

Lu Changsheng’s entire body shook violently, his hair and Vestment robe dancing. Filth was secreted from his pores, making his body suddenly feel as light as if it were floating.

The Spiritual Energy in his Dantian Sea was no longer strand by strand.

Instead, it intertwined like streams.

“Fourth Level Energy Refinement, Spiritual Energy like streams, the body excretes worldly filth!”

“I’ve finally broken through to the middle stage of Energy Refinement!”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, feeling the stream-like Spiritual Power circulating within him, a sense of joy naturally emerged.

A year ago, he had already practiced up to the peak of the Third Level Energy Refinement.

But he had been stuck for a full year until today when he was finally able to break through.

He felt that if it weren’t for his Ninth Grade Spiritual Root advancing to an Eighth Grade more than two months ago, he would probably have been stuck for even longer.

“No wonder Hong Yi remained at the Third Level Energy Refinement for three or four years without breaking through to the Fourth Level.”

Lu Changsheng also understood why Hong Yi had stayed at this realm for so long.

In Qingzhu Valley, he enjoyed the benefits of a Second Grade Spiritual Vein; his meals consisted of jade bamboo rice, Demon Beast meat, and spiritual vegetables.

He drank Spiritual Tea and occasionally indulged in Spiritual Wine, and every month he had a Yellow Dragon Elixir to assist his cultivation.

Even under these circumstances, he was still trapped by the bottleneck for so long.

Although Hong Yi had an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root, in the secular world where Spiritual Energy was scarce and resources limited, and he was busy with errands, breaking through the bottleneck was even harder.

This also made him think of Xiao Xiyue, who had broken through to the Fourth Level Energy Refinement during their three-year agreement.

Thinking about it now, it could only be said that a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root was truly terrifying!

If it were an upper-grade Spiritual Root, or the legendary Earth Spirit Root, Heavenly Spiritual Root, how terrifying they would be.

Lu Changsheng didn’t think too much about it, stood up, and used a Cleansing Technique to remove the impurities and filth excreted from his body during the breakthrough.

Then he walked out of the Practice Room somewhat excitedly.

It was winter at this time, and snowflakes were fluttering outside, with a layer of pure white snow covering the ground.

Although his Qingzhu Robe offered protection against the heat and cold, the sudden opening of the door and the cold wind that blew in still made Lu Changsheng feel a hint of chill.

But it was only a momentary chill; the Spiritual Power within his body and the Vestment robe he wore made the cold dissipate immediately.

“Unknowingly, I’ve also been at the Lu Family for five years.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the green, vigorous, and sturdy Qing Zhu bamboos amidst the snowflakes.

He thought of the time when he had awakened his previous life’s memories on the Heart-Questioning Platform, after being eliminated by the Qingyun Sect’s examination. He chose to become a son-in-law who entered the Lu Family by marriage.

Over the past five years, relying on his relentless efforts, he had cultivated from an ordinary person to the Fourth Level Energy Refinement.

He had also fought from being a ‘breeding’ son-in-law in the Lu Family to a son-in-law who married the granddaughter of an elder.

Lu Changsheng walked slowly to the front courtyard, seeing a few children in padded jackets running around in the snow playing, a faint smile appeared on his face.

These were the fruits of his five years of hard work.
