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

Chapter 60: Peach Blossom Gu!_1

Translator: 549690339

As Lu Changsheng extracted the Peach Blossom Gu,

a butterfly with wings that resembled two pinkish-white peach petals appeared out of thin air in front of him.

This Peach Blossom Gu was only the size of a thumb with a faint pink glow emanating from its delicate and tender body.

Held in hand, it was extremely soft and slippery, just like holding two peach petals with hardly any weight.

From its body, strands of refreshing and ethereal peach blossom fragrance wafted, invigorating the soul.

Lu Changsheng, holding the Peach Blossom Gu in his hand, could clearly feel a kind and mysterious connection with it,

much like he did when he acquired the Nine Netherhound.

No need for any measures to tame or subdue, the system directly helped him tame and subdue it.

And through the system, he knew that to control and command this Gu creature, he needed to refine it.

The method of refinement was also quite simple.

Feed it with a drop of essence blood first, then gradually refine the Gu with mental spirit and spiritual power.

Having understood the basic usage of the Peach Blossom Gu, Lu Changsheng didn’t hesitate.

He forced out a droplet of blood from his fingertip and fed it to the Peach Blossom Gu.

The Peach Blossom Gu had a sesame-sized mouthpiece that slowly licked when it saw the droplet of blood.

After a moment, the Peach Blossom Gu had consumed all of the essence blood.

Lu Changsheng then began to wrap the Peach Blossom Gu in spiritual power, invading its body and will, refining it.

For many Gu cultivators, refining a Gu worm was an extremely dangerous affair.

Although the Gu worm did not possess much intelligence, it still had life as a being and an inherent will to survive.

Facing the cultivator’s refining, it naturally resisted instinctively.

Even some fierce and tyrannical Gu worms would backlash against the refiner.

However, this Peach Blossom Gu was obtained by Lu Changsheng through a system lottery, and there was already a slight intimate connection between them, so this problem didn’t exist.

Under his spiritual power refinement, the Peach Blossom Gu not only did not resist in the slightest,

but it even actively cooperated, allowing Lu Changsheng’s spiritual power to enter its body to be refined.

Lu Changsheng didn’t have to exhaust his mental spirit to suppress the will of the Peach Blossom Gu.

An hour later.

“Whew!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the partially translucent Peach Blossom Gu in his hand and exhaled a long breath.

It wasn’t that the refinement was complete.

But rather, his spiritual power was exhausted, and he needed to rest and recover it.

“If this Peach Blossom Gu had not been obtained through the system lottery, with my current cultivation strength, I would not have been able to refine it at all, nor would it have been possible to succeed in the refinement,”

“Not to mention there might have been a backlash, injuring myself,” he couldn’t help but shake his head.

For the past hour, he had used all his spiritual power to refine the Peach Blossom Gu.

Yet his spiritual power was depleted, and he had refined less than one-tenth of the Peach Blossom Gu.

Bear in mind, this was while the Peach Blossom Gu was fully cooperative.

If the Peach Blossom Gu had offered even a slight resistance, he would have encountered an insurmountable challenge in refining it.

“However, this also shows that this Peach Blossom Gu is even more extraordinary; it is not a Gu that an ordinary Energy Refinement Cultivator can come into contact with,”

“And only a cheat like me, with the help of the system, could obtain something far beyond one’s own stage,” he mused.

“Now is a good time to restore my spiritual power and see what changes have occurred after my Spiritual Root advanced to Eighth Grade.”

Lu Changsheng began to sit in meditation, cultivating and restoring his spiritual power.

He also wanted to see what changes had taken place after his Spiritual Root progressed from Ninth Grade to Eighth Grade.

An hour went by.

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

After the meditation, he found that his Cultivation speed had not significantly increased after his Ninth Grade Spiritual Root advanced to Eighth Grade.

It had only improved by about ten percent.

“The cultivation speed of an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root is almost thirty percent faster than that of a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root,”

“With the previous addition from Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi Qi, my Spiritual Root was already close to Eighth Grade,”

“So now with this daughter’s boost, even though my Spiritual Root has advanced from Ninth Grade to Eighth Grade, the improvement isn’t large,”

“A cultivation speed increase of about ten percent also implies that this child’s Spiritual Root is a Lower Grade Spiritual Root, probably similar to Xiao Shi Qi’s, a Seventh Grade or Eighth Grade Spiritual Root,” Lu Changsheng silently contemplated.

But he didn’t feel any sense of loss.

After all, whether it was a Ninth Grade or Eighth Grade Spiritual Root, they both belonged to the Lower Grade Spiritual Roots.

The difference between the two wasn’t too significant.

Thus, advancing from Ninth Grade to Eighth Grade Spiritual Root was unlikely to bring a dramatic qualitative change.

However, Chuangsheng saw the advancement of his Spiritual Root from Ninth Grade to Eighth Grade as a milestone.

At the very least, he had taken the first step.

The first step in upgrading the Spiritual Root!

In the future, as long as more children possess a Spiritual Root, his Spiritual Root would eventually be able to advance step-by-step, ascending from a Lower Grade Spiritual Root to Middle Grade, then Upper Grade.

Even the legendary Earth Spirit Root, Heavenly Spiritual Root!

“Spiritual Roots are not only related to the speed of cultivation but also to the bottlenecks in cultivation.”

“After my Ninth Grade Spiritual Root advanced to the Eighth Grade, I wonder how much it will help me break through the bottleneck at the Fourth Level Energy Refinement.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think to himself.

Beyond influencing the speed of cultivation, the grade of a Spiritual Root also affects the cultivation bottlenecks.

The better the Spiritual Root, the weaker the bottleneck.

Like now, he was stuck at the bottleneck of breaking through from the Third Level Energy Refinement to the Fourth Level.

But with a Middle Grade Spiritual Root, this bottleneck might not even exist.

Previously, Lu Changsheng read in a book that for Spiritual Roots of the level of Earth Spirit Root and Heavenly Spiritual Root, there is no such thing as a bottleneck from the entire Qi Refinement all the way to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

It’s a completely unobstructed journey of cultivation, and in the future, it would be possible to break through to the Core Formation Stage.

And to condense a Superior Gold Core!

Lu Changsheng didn’t continue to dwell on these thoughts as they were still far too distant from him.

He rose from his study and went into the practice room to continue his cultivation and replenish his Spiritual Power.

The next day.

Lu Changsheng got up and went to the library at Qingzhu Villa.

Searching for books on the topics of destiny and the way of the Gu.

However, within the Lu Family, there were no books on the concept of destiny, and the Gu way was also not detailed in any of the books.

Only in an ancient tome did he find a brief introduction to Gu insects.

For example, the quality of Gu insects was divided into: Mundane Gu, Spirit Gu, Mysterious Spirit Gu, Earth Spirit Gu, Heavenly Spirit Gu, and Immortal Gu—six levels in total.

With Immortal Gu being of a level like that of the True Spirit Bloodline in demon beasts, it naturally belonged to the realm of legend.

Even the Earth Spirit Gu and Heavenly Spirit Gu were the stuff of legends, extremely rare.

This gave Lu Changsheng a rough idea of just how precious the Peach Blossom Gu was.

It was probably close to a Nine Netherhound with a Heavenly Grade Bloodline.

Furthermore, Gu insects can continuously transform and grow, divided from low to high into: First Transformation, Second Transformation, Third Transformation, Fourth Transformation, Fifth Transformation…

Corresponding to the Cultivator’s stages of Qi Refinement Realm, Foundation Establishment Stage, Core Formation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Divinity Transformation Stage.

Like the Peach Blossom Gu that Lu Changsheng acquired, it naturally belonged to the First Transformation.

In the time that followed.

Besides daily meditation and cultivation, talisman-making, Lu Changsheng also found time to refine and fuse with the Peach Blossom Gu.

Thinking of quickly assimilating the Peach Blossom Gu to see its exact effects.

After all, Lu Changsheng was quite looking forward to improving himself and his Peach Blossom Luck.

Half a month later.

Lu Changsheng finally fully assimilated the Peach Blossom Gu.

At this moment, he felt a strange connection with the Peach Blossom Gu in front of him.

It was as if the Peach Blossom Gu had become a part of his body.

At the same time, he came to understand the Peach Blossom Gu in detail.

Peach Blossom Gu.

Feeds on Peach Blossom Luck!

The more prosperous the host’s Peach Blossom Luck, the faster the Peach Blossom Gu would grow.

With every growth and transformation of the Peach Blossom Gu, the host’s Peach Blossom Luck would become increasingly vibrant!

However, the growth and transformation of the Peach Blossom Gu would be impacted and limited by its master.

If the master has not broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, then no matter how much Peach Blossom Luck the Gu consumes, it cannot advance to Second Transformation.

Currently, the Peach Blossom Gu possesses three effects.

The first two are the passive effects introduced in the system explanation before.

It can subtly improve the host’s physique, making the skin more radiant and the aura stand out, thus becoming more attractive to the opposite sex.

Simultaneously, it unconsciously boosts the host’s Peach Blossom Luck.

Both of these effects are passive.

The first one will gradually show some effects.

The second, Peach Blossom Luck, is more elusive and intangible.

The third effect of the Peach Blossom Gu is an active one.

By activating the Peach Blossom Gu, it can release a fragrance known as ‘Five Aggregates Peach Blossom Miasma’.

This aroma has the effect of bewildering and enchanting the mind.

Both people and animals, as well as plants, will be influenced.

As for the impact, it depends on the strength of the Gu insect.

As the Peach Blossom Gu is currently only at the First Transformation, the power and effects of the Five Aggregates Peach Blossom Miasma correspond to the Qi Refinement Realm.
