Chapter 204: Wind Spirit Body

On the third night of dual cultivation, Lin Xi successfully conceived.

This left Zhou Luo greatly surprised.

Based on his past efficiency, conception was almost impossible without one or two months of effort.

One reason was his increased realm; another was his high frequency of intercourse, which lowered the quality.

Yet Lin Xi conceived again in just three days.

Could it be an effect of The Fusion of Dragon and Phoenix Technique?

This wasn’t mentioned in its description, and Zhou Luo wasn’t certain.

His only concern was that pregnancy, lasting around ten months, might hinder dual cultivation.

After testing, Zhou Luo found that dual cultivation could continue even with a pregnant partner, albeit using a different technique than usual.

To his astonishment, dual cultivation during pregnancy not only accelerated both cultivators’ progress but also enhanced the child’s development, preventing congenital deficiencies.

This outcome greatly satisfied Zhou Luo.

Now he could freely strive for offspring.

Returning to the present, the long-absent system notification sound invigorated Zhou Luo.

He calmed his mind, descending his consciousness into the system space.

The familiar white lottery wheel hovered mid-air, awaiting its host’s activation.

"Begin the lottery," Zhou Luo commanded without hesitation.

A golden sphere of light gradually emerged, drifting among the wheel’s seven segments.

This time, Zhou Luo had no particular hopes—whatever he drew would suffice, since he wouldn’t venture out for a long while.

As he pondered, the sphere slowed its rotation.

Under Zhou Luo’s watchful gaze, it settled on the other area.

[Congratulations, host! Obtained Wind Spirit Body!]

[Reward has been automatically sent to the host’s inventory. Please check!]

"Wind Spirit Body?"

Hearing the system notification, shock flickered through Zhou Luo.

A spiritual body?

Like spiritual roots, spiritual bodies gauge a cultivator’s innate talent.

But spiritual bodies are far rarer than spiritual roots.

All cultivators possess spiritual roots, yet few awaken spiritual bodies.

Spiritual roots form the foundation; spiritual bodies grant augmentation.

Both accelerate cultivation speed and may confer extraordinary abilities.

For instance, Wang Yu Wei—taken by a Golden Core master—possessed the dual cultivation body, a type of spiritual body. Its exact effects, however, remained unknown to Zhou Luo.

Because spiritual bodies were endlessly variable, without revealing their characteristics, even the owner might not know their specific functions.

It required specialized treasures for examining spiritual bodies or powerful mental strength to detect their presence.

Zhou Luo knew little about spiritual bodies.

Being a Ninth Grade cultivator with an ordinary constitution, why would he specifically research such things?

But he never imagined he’d one day obtain a spiritual body himself.

With both a spiritual body and the dual cultivation technique, could his training speed possibly remain slow?

At this thought, he eagerly gazed at the glowing "human-shaped" icon in his backpack.

He clicked the icon, and information about the Wind Spirit Body unfolded before his eyes.

[Wind Spirit Body]

[Constitution: Spiritual Body]

[Grade: Second Level]

[Traits: Upon activation, significantly enhances the holder’s ability to comprehend wind-attributed techniques and divine abilities while greatly boosting cultivation speed when absorbing wind-attributed spiritual energy…]

[Note: Can only be bestowed upon unborn children or infants under one year old.]

Zhou Luo’s eyes swept downward, landing first on the grade.

He wasn’t entirely clear how spiritual bodies were graded, but if similar to Cultivation Skills, Second Level likely corresponded to a Foundation Establishment-tier spiritual body.

Next were the traits it offered.

True to its name, it was a constitution specialized for wind-attributed spiritual energy cultivation. It accelerated the holder’s progress.

In the world of cultivation, spiritual roots lacked innate attributes. Only after practicing corresponding techniques would one’s spiritual energy adopt specific attributes.

Most cultivators typically practiced techniques of just one or two attributes.

As the saying went, biting off more than one could chew; wielding too many spiritual energy attributes could diversify offensive capabilities but also severely crippled training speed.

Because every advancement required imparting unrefined spiritual energy from the world with the desired attributes.

The greater the number of attributes to impart, the more laborious the process, inevitably slowing cultivation progress.

Of course, the world of cultivation was not short of exceptionally talented, ambitious prodigies who practiced three or even four different attributed techniques to bolster their strength.

Zhou Luo wasn’t a genius, but he already cultivated three attributed techniques: the wind-attributed Wind Moves Without a Trace, the water-attributed Water Movement Secret Method, and the metal-attributed Five Elements Sword Technique.

The Five Elements Sword Technique, if mastered to perfection, promised command over spiritual energy of five attributes.

This didn’t worry Zhou Luo.

His lifespan stretched long enough; mastering one extra attribute was a manageable effort.

Indeed, mastering more attributes granted a wider arsenal, enabling him to unleash power surpassing cultivators of the same realm in battle.

The Wind Spirit Body could drastically speed up the absorption of wind-attributed spiritual energy and deepen insights into wind-attributed techniques—a truly valuable spiritual body.

But when Zhou Luo saw the note, his excitement instantly chilled.

So this was meant for his descendants?

He had assumed the constitution could be used directly on himself. With it, he’d master Wind Moves Without a Trace faster, making travel far swifter.

Yet, like the Qi of Innate Origins, this belonged to infants.

Thinking it over, spiritual bodies are innate traits from birth, so this made sense.

Still, frustration gnawed at Zhou Luo.

Truly worthy of the "More Children, More Blessings" system—profiting the father while showering blessings on future descendants.

But if the blessings were for descendants, why must they cost his lottery chances?

Zhou Luo shook his head resignedly.

On second thought, it was a father’s duty to secure some advantages for posterity. Once his descendants grew powerful, they’d become valuable allies in managing his future clan.

As for the Wind Spirit Body, it naturally went to the only one worthy: Zhou Chang Le with his Fourth Grade spiritual root.

This little one was still under one year old. Coupled with his near-High Grade spiritual root, his future achievements were certain to be remarkable. He would be Zhou Luo’s staunch right hand.

Pushing aside these musings, Zhou Luo didn’t immediately bestow it upon little Chang Le. Instead, he planned to visit the clan library tomorrow to thoroughly research spiritual body knowledge.

This way, if he ever drew similar spiritual bodies in future lotteries, assigning them to his children would be much easier.
