Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Lu Miaohuan paused, then softly shared the ability of her Dao Foundation Seed.

Although she always knew that the Abyssal Ghoul Blossom wasn't considered an orthodox demonic plant,

this ability still made her feel it was a bit too... aligned with the Demon Path.

Using the Abyssal Ghoul Blossom to devour living beings, thereby plundering the essence of their flesh and blood to transform into pure Life Essence, supplementing her own lifespan.

"Supplement lifespan with Blood Essence?"

Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao, among others, were surprised when they heard of this ability.

In the Cultivation World, the importance of lifespan goes without saying.

With lifespan comes a future, and moreover, ninety percent of Cultivators encounter life-threatening challenges throughout their journey such as combat, failure during breakthroughs, cultivating deviations, or casting life-shortening powerful techniques and magics that consume their own lifespan.

Take Energy Refining Cultivators, for instance, whose lifespan is typically about one hundred and twenty years.

However, apart from a very few who practice Nourishing Life Techniques, hardly anyone lives to that age.

The same principle applies to Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and Elixir Medicines related to lifespan extension are exorbitantly priced and extremely rare.

Yet here was Lu Miaohuan with the ability to extend lifespan by devouring the life force of other beings, which was quite astonishing.

However, this lifespan supplementation could only restore what was specially depleted, not enhance the upper limit.

"This is still quite impressive; it's like Huanhuan, you can practice life-shortening techniques with no consequence, being able to replenish it afterward."

Ling Zixiao said this.

But after saying so, she thought about the side effects of the Heavenly Longevity Technique—being bound to Bi Lake Mountain, rejecting other cultivation methods, and instinctively shook her head.

After all, if one couldn't leave Bi Lake Mountain and couldn't practice life-shortening secret techniques, what good was the ability to replenish one's lifespan?

"Hehe, no worries, abilities like that don't matter."

Lu Changsheng spoke out, seemingly unconcerned about this ability.

He had already realized with Lu Miaoyun's Luminous Eye that no matter how beneficial the Tao Foundation Seed condensed by the Heavenly Longevity Technique appeared, if one's freedom was restricted, the abilities would become useless.

However, he did think of his 'Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates', which had been collecting dust.

If needed in the future, he could let Lu Miaohuan use it.

After all, combined with the longevity of the Heavenly Longevity Technique and the ability to replenish lifespan, it'd be a perfect match!

The Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates, however, was a one-time-use exotic treasure; once used, it would be gone.

If he later acquired treasures that could curse without limits, those would indeed be quite suitable for Lu Miaohuan.

...

Thereafter, regarding Lu Miaohuan's breakthrough, Lu Changsheng hosted a family banquet to celebrate modestly with his household.

However, afterward, he instructed Lu Yun to go to Qingzhu Mountain and inform his father-in-law, Lu Yuanding.

After all, he felt it necessary to share such news, which would surely bring joy.

That night,

Lu Changsheng, together with Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan, engaged in Dual Cultivation.

Throughout this process, he became increasingly motivated.

Knowing that this was due to Lu Miaohuan's Dao Foundation Seed's ability, replenishing his physical strength and Life Essence during their dual cultivation!

...

Two months later.

[Congratulations to the host, fifty offspring have completed Channeling Qi into the Body, stepping onto the Immortal Path, earning Bloodline Effect: Offspring's Comprehension increased by 3%, and one lottery draw!]

"Hmm, Comprehension increased?"

Upon hearing this system notification, Lu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat.

Initially, he gained the Bloodline Effect of increasing the probability of children's Spiritual Roots and pregnancy rates.

Previously, a Spiritual Body inheritance probability appeared, and now there was an increase in Comprehension.

In the Cultivation World, Comprehension is a broad and mysterious concept.

Whether it's Cultivation Techniques, magic, the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, or anything else, everything is linked with Comprehension.

"Anyway, any boost to Comprehension is a good thing."

"If Comprehension could be improved, then the kids at home would basically all be able to practice Top-Level Techniques."

Lu Changsheng murmured to himself.

Most of the current advanced techniques were entrusted to Lu Miaoyun to manage the Family's Transmission Pavilion.

Due to talent and Comprehension, most siblings at home are still practicing Exquisite Level Cultivation Techniques.

It wasn't that he, their father, was unwilling to teach them.

Unless one's Comprehension was truly exceptional and they could thoroughly understand and resonate with a technique,

Low Quality Spiritual Root bearers could scarcely proceed with Peripheral Sect Level or Orthodox Level Cultivation Techniques, which would make their practice laborious and ineffective compared to practicing an Advanced Level or Exquisite Level Technique.

"Birthrate, Comprehension, Spiritual Body inheritance; I wonder what other Bloodline Effects there might be..."

Lu Changsheng pondered, feeling that if this trend continued, his children would become increasingly exceptional.

However, thinking of this situation, somewhat like the younger children standing on the shoulders of the older ones, Lu Changsheng sighed.

He silently invoked in his mind: "System, lottery draw."

Instantly, a spinning prize wheel appeared, glistening with golden light.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Third Order Artifact Refinement Skill!]

[The reward has been issued to the System Space; the host can check it at any time.]

A Talisman-shaped orb of light emerged from the prize wheel, accompanied by the sound of the system's voice.

"What, Third Order Artifact Refinement!?"

Lu Changsheng looked at the Artifact skill before him with a pleasant surprise.

Although the family had many Artifact Refiners, they were merely ordinary; not even a Second Rank Artifact Refiner was among them.

To create a Spiritual Artifact for Lu Ping'an, his father had to seek help from others.

Now, with the Third Order Artifact Refinement Skill, the family's shortcoming in Artifact Refining would finally be addressed!

Lu Changsheng's Mental Spirit stirred slightly as he turned his attention to the System Space.

[Third Order Artifact Refinement Skill: Upon use, directly comprehend Third Order maxed-out Artifact Refining Skills and a complete basic compendium of Magic Artifacts.]
