But thinking about it, he knew it couldn’t be possible.

Not to mention that others might not be willing, such an improvement probably wasn’t so simple.

“Hiss, Lu Changsheng, oh Lu Changsheng, how could you have such thoughts?”

No sooner had the idea appeared than Lu Changsheng immediately felt he was being somewhat degenerate.

“Even if I improved my strength and broke through the realm in this way, what would it amount to?”

“Such improvements would leave my state of mind, skills, and power unfit for my cultivation realm, leading to a shaky foundation!”

“Only through my own efforts, step by step, keeping grounded, and the principle of ‘more children, more blessings,’ can I truly enhance myself and attain the ultimate way!”

“All other paths are but passing clouds, only by taking wives and concubines, having children, and advancing step by step can one reach the end!”

Lu Changsheng immediately introspected, cast aside the crooked thoughts in his mind, firmed his belief, and adhered to the path of self-improvement with the ‘more children, more blessings’ policy.

“Whew, don’t forget why you started, and you will be able to endure to the end, remember the original intention!”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Afterward, he took out his talisman-making tools, ready to attempt crafting a Supreme Talisman!

His biggest issue with crafting high-level talismans before was his cultivation level.

Now, having broken through to the Sixth Level of Energy Refinement, this issue had been easily resolved.

He laid out the talisman paper, and with a magic artifact pen in hand, he gently dipped it in spiritual ink.

Then with his palm, where spiritual power flowed, he transferred it to the pen, making the tip brim with spiritual light.

As the pen touched the paper, it moved like a dragon or snake, the strokes channeling spiritual power fluidly, without the slightest delay.

A moment later, Lu Changsheng lifted his hand.

Arcs of thunder spread over the talisman paper.

A First Grade Superior Talisman, Thunder Summoning Talisman, was made!

Previously, Lu Changsheng found it somewhat strenuous to craft the Thunder Summoning Talisman.

He had to be extremely careful during the process to avoid failure.

But now, it was like eating and drinking.

“With my current cultivation at the Sixth Level, I should be able to craft three or four Superior Talismans at a time.”

Lu Changsheng felt the consumption of spiritual power within his body and mumbled to himself.

Before, crafting one Thunder Summoning Talisman would leave him feeling drained.

Immediately,

Lu Changsheng took out another piece of talisman paper and began crafting a First Grade Supreme Talisman—the Thunder Talisman!

As he crafted the Thunder Talisman, a sense of seriousness and concentration appeared on Lu Changsheng’s face.

The spirited pen moved slowly on the talisman paper, outlining one talisman line after another, with the patterns flickering with spiritual light.

However, before he was even halfway through the outline, the talisman paper suddenly made a ‘zzt’ sound and emitted a puff of smoke.

“I suddenly broke through to the peak of the Sixth Level of Energy Refinement and am not yet familiar with it, my control is still lacking a bit.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

He immediately knew what the problem was.

One issue was the Middle Grade magic artifact pen, which wasn’t quite up to the task of crafting a Supreme Talisman.

The second was that his control over spiritual power was insufficient.

So with both problems combined, the excessive spiritual power during the drawing process caused the lines to be unstable, resulting in a failed crafting.

But these weren’t real problems, just things that required a bit more familiarization.

Feeling the spiritual power within his body, Lu Changsheng didn’t continue with talisman making.

He planned to wait until later when his spiritual power and mental spirit recovered before trying to craft a Supreme Talisman again.

With a cultivation level at the Sixth Level, crafting a Supreme Talisman was not an issue.

But he could likely only make one at a time, without the possibility of continuous crafting.

Having just crafted one Superior Talisman and half of a Supreme Talisman, it had taken a toll on him; he needed to take it slow.

Moreover, such matters were not to be rushed.

Lu Changsheng left his home, ready to visit the Fourth Elder and discuss the matter of running between two places.

But just as he stepped out, he learned that the Fourth Elder had already come to his home to visit his great-grandson.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng headed to the backyard.

He saw the Fourth Elder, with a loving smile, holding his son Lu Yun and chatting happily with Lu Miaoyun.

“Grandmother.”

Lu Changsheng stepped forward and greeted with a slight bow.

“Changsheng, you’re here.”

The Fourth Elder nodded toward Lu Changsheng and said, “I just heard from Yun’er that you encountered a robber cultivator on your way back, is that so?”

“Yes, but with the talisman you gave me, Grandma, Changsheng didn’t experience any mishaps.”

Lu Changsheng said so.

“Grandma was just thinking, it’s indeed dangerous for you to be traveling back and forth alone.”

“Even with a talisman at hand, it’s still not safe.”

“Therefore, Grandma thinks, why don’t you just stop going to Nine Dragons Market? I can find someone else to manage the Spiritual Talisman Shop there, and you can just stay at home in peace.”

The Fourth Elder spoke, saying this.

She had wanted Lu Changsheng to go to Nine Dragons Market to manage the shop as a way for him to gain experience and learn something.

But if any accident were to happen on these journeys, it would be more loss than gain.

So, she would rather Lu Changsheng stay put at Qingzhu Mountain without going out.

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He had thought the Fourth Elder would allow him not to come back every month.

He had not expected the Fourth Elder to directly suggest that he stay at Qingzhu Mountain and not go out at all.

If it had been before, he wouldn’t have cared.

He would have just comfortably stayed put at Qingzhu Mountain.

But now, having tasted the conveniences and benefits of Nine Dragons Market, he had a preference for staying there long-term.

Otherwise, spending all his days at Qingzhu Mountain, he would miss out on buying materials for the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, materials for talisman making, earning Spirit Stones, or even finding a girl.

“Grandma, Changsheng still wants to go to Nine Dragons Market to experience the outside world.”

“However, I’m thinking of bringing Yun’er and the others to Nine Dragons Market later on. When coming back home, I can come with the Second Elder.”

Lu Changsheng voiced his thoughts.

Yesterday, he had also heard from Lu Miaoyun that the Second Elder would return after a certain period of time as well.

“That’s also fine. With your talent in talisman making, there’s not much more Grandma can teach you, and you don’t have to come back every month.”

“As for the matter with Yun’er, you and your wife can discuss it among yourselves. It’s not a problem to come back with the Second Elder.”

“The Second Elder comes back almost every six months, which is also suitable,” said the Fourth Elder after a moment of contemplation, nodding her assent.

She could understand Lu Changsheng’s thinking.

After all, what twenty-something-year-old would want to stay cooped up in Qingzhu Mountain all the time?

Shortly after, Lu Changsheng finished chatting with the Fourth Elder, and also discussed with Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and the others about the subsequent arrangements.

For this trip, he would stay at home, waiting for Qu Zhenzhen to give birth before going back to Nine Dragons Market.

As for Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen, there was no rush to head to Nine Dragons Market.

They would first strengthen themselves in Qingzhu Mountain and take care of the child.

Lu Ping’an, Lu Wuyou, Lu Wuyu and the other children had been sent by Lu Miaoyun to White Deer Mountain Villa not long ago to study.

If everyone left, there would be no one to watch over so many children at home.

Thus, Lu Changsheng settled down in Qingzhu Valley, waiting for Qu Zhenzhen to have the baby.

In the meantime, Lu Changsheng tested out the effects of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art a little.

All he could say was, it truly lived up to the Orthodox Level body refining techniques.

Just the first level alone, and his physical body was comparable to a magic artifact, capable of dealing with ten women in a single night!

It just made him think about when he could get his hands on another cultivation technique that refined the five viscera and six bowels.

Ideally, one that would transform his kidneys into an eternal furnace!

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

That day, Lu Changsheng was feeding the Nine Netherhound in the courtyard.

The Nine Netherhound was now over a meter tall, its fur black and glossy, with sharp, interlocking fangs protruding from its mouth and vertical pupils that intimidated the soul.

Lu Changsheng felt that in a few years, anyone would be able to see the Nine Netherhound’s extraordinariness.

The idea of setting the Nine Netherhound free, letting it grow on its own outside, seemed indeed worth considering.

Just then, Qu Zhenzhen suddenly cried out in pain, signaling that she was about to give birth.
