Chapter 429
by fanqienovelChapter 429: Third Level Spiritual Potion
News of Lin Xi’s successful Foundation Establishment quickly spread among the remaining long-life families—the Wang Family, Li Family, and Zhang Family—all of whom sent lavish gifts.
With her breakthrough, she became the youngest family head in the history of the long-life families to achieve Foundation Establishment.
From then on, the Lin Family’s strength would ascend to new heights.
By this point, the Lin Family boasted three Foundation Establishment cultivators standing guard, including the now-lifespan-depleted Lin Family Ancestor. This count didn’t even include Zhou Luo’s children at the Qinyuan Sect.
Over the next half-month, Zhou Luo traveled between Jiang City, Qingtian City, and Maple Leaf City, deploying more than a dozen Second Level formations of various sizes.
His vast wealth spared him any worry over resource costs.
Otherwise, just the materials required for a single Second Level formation would be incalculable.
Now, he unquestionably held the most riches in the entire Qinyuan Domain—surpassing even the Qinyuan Sect’s Golden Core masters.
The Tian Xia Pavilion alone generated enormous annual profits for him, and that was without counting the Yao Yuan Pavilion and the Lin Family’s own businesses, each bringing Zhou Luo immense wealth every year.
Had it not been for the Qinyuan Sect deducting a share, his money-making ability would be even more staggering.
Clearly, he needed to free himself from the Qinyuan Sect’s control as soon as possible.
Though Yao Wu’s situation had led the sect to reduce their spiritual stones allocation, it still fell far short.
After arranging all matters, Zhou Luo returned to Qinyuan City and purchased another concubine from Hong Xiu.
The group of concubines he’d bought over a decade ago, having borne multiple children already, were no longer required to continue—he prioritized their lifespans now.
Furthermore, the longevity and youth-preserving technique Hong Xiu offered years earlier ensured his wives and concubines faced no imminent aging concerns.
As cultivators, with ample resources provided, even stacking potions could grant them an extra century or two of life.
The resource expenditure here was negligible compared to Zhou Luo’s earnings—a mere drop in the bucket, so he spared no expense.
Months later, one newly acquired concubine conceived, granting Zhou Luo another lottery opportunity.
[Congratulations, Host. Through unwavering diligence, your partner has conceived, granting one lottery opportunity.]
His mental strength entered the lottery page. Staring at the crimson roulette wheel, Zhou Luo’s face lit with anticipation.
He hadn’t expected another lottery chance so soon.
In the past five years, he’d only gained three such opportunities.
Yet barely a year had passed before another successful conception.
It made him wonder—was it truly because she was a first-timer?
He’d noticed that women who’d already borne children always took longer to conceive again.
Following this pattern, those with more offspring had an even lower probability of conception.
This likely stemmed from childbirth damaging their cultivation foundations.
Evidently, he’d need to recruit more concubines moving forward.
Aside from the seven just purchased, he now had twenty wives and concubines.
Together, they’d given him sixty-four children—roughly three per woman on average.
Viewed this way, becoming his lover was truly hard labor.
This was all due to him cultivating dual cultivation techniques and at that time practicing body refinement, so no problems occurred in this regard.
If it had been an ordinary person, giving birth to sixty-four offspring in sixty years at such a terrifying rate of childbearing, they would probably have already exhausted their cultivation talent completely.
As for this matter, it was also relished by the people of the Qinyuan Domain.
On one hand, they were amazed at Zhou Luo’s current strength and background. On the other hand, after seeing his numerous wives, concubines, and children, they couldn’t help wondering if he really had an imperishable body?
Withdrawing his thoughts, Zhou Luo again set his gaze on the lottery wheel.
"Begin the lottery!"
As his mind stirred slightly, the golden sphere of light also began to spin rapidly on the wheel.
For Zhou Luo, at present he had nothing particularly desired, as long as it could enhance his strength.
Especially since now the two Immortal Sects were fighting, though it seemed unlikely to affect him, but just to be safe, he still had to enhance his strength as quickly as possible in a short time.
It would be best if he could draw something that could boost immediate combat power.
In the face of absolute strength, so-called background and identity were actually insufficient.
Currently, his dual cultivation with Ye Qian had just gotten on the right track, and he was still stuck at the mid-level Foundation Establishment. Therefore, he urgently needed some treasures or trump cards that could enhance his strength.
This way, when facing some sudden crises, he could be more confident.
Best was treasure.
The power produced by such a talisman connected to a magical artifact far exceeded imagination. If he could obtain it, that would be even better.
After all, the Cold Ice Spear had already been completely destroyed.
Unless he had the chance to find that Cold Ice Fairy to re-empower it, but the world of cultivation was so vast, he had never heard her name.
Even as he was thinking this, the speed of the golden sphere of light was gradually slowing down.
Eventually, under his gaze, it stopped in the spiritual potion area.
Zhou Luo hadn’t drawn anything from this area for a long time.
He vaguely recalled that when he first killed someone long ago, he had relied on the Explosive Spirit Potion drawn from the system. In several lottery draws later, he also drew several spiritual potions that enhanced strength.
When he killed that newly advanced cultivator of the Lu Family at that time, he had taken some.
Now that many years had passed, seeing spiritual potions appear again, Zhou Luo couldn’t help but have his eyes shine.
According to the current level of the wheel, if it were spiritual potions, they were at least Third Level or higher.
If this potion happened to be a spiritual potion to boost combat power or enhance strength, it would be excellent.
Zhou Luo eagerly waited for the notification sound to end.
[Congratulations master! You have gained Sword Spirit Potion!]
[The reward has been automatically sent to your backpack. Please check it!]
"Sword Spirit Potion?"
As a second level Pill Master, Zhou Luo had never heard of this type of potion, which meant that this must be a Third Level or even higher potion, and it should be related to swordsmanship.
This caused Zhou Luo’s heart to pound suddenly. He hurriedly looked at the backpack, and his gaze fell on the potion icon.
[Technique: Sword Spirit Potion]
[Level: Third Level spiritual potion]
[Description: This was a great experiment. An ancient fifth level Pill Master concocted this powerful potion by integrating sword intent into the potion. After consumption, it allows the user to master purer sword intent and unleash tremendous power…]
"Integrate sword intent into the potion?"
Zhou Luo, looking at the introduction of the Sword Spirit Potion, couldn’t help but feel extremely shocked in his heart.
This was indeed a potion capable of stimulating sword intent and bringing immense sword aura.
For Zhou Luo who used a sword, this was without a doubt an extremely rare spiritual potion.
He couldn’t help but become greatly encouraged, and his face revealed an expression of joy.
