Chapter 242: 40 Spiritual Root Offspring! Lottery!_2
Then she put the spiritual fish she had hooked into the basket by her side and said to Lu Changsheng, "Husband, look, Wangshu caught even more than you did."
"Haha, fishing is mainly about cultivating one's sentiments, as long as you're happy, why care whether you catch any fish or not?"
Upon hearing this, the corners of Lu Changsheng's mouth twitched as he stubbornly said.
Afterward, he looked towards the distance, where his brothers, Lu Ping'an, Lu Xianzhi, and Lu Yun, were fishing with a net on a large boat, and shouted loudly, "Would you guys keep it down and move further away? You're scaring all my fish away."
"Dad, we're already so far away, how can you still blame us?"
Lu Yun, upon hearing this, immediately called out in protest.
"You rascal."
Lu Changsheng said with annoyance.
Then, looking at his own fishing hook, he was full of confusion as to why he wasn't getting any bites.
"Husband, Feifei is about to give birth."
At that moment, Lu Miaoyun came flying over on a Cloud Veil and spoke to Lu Changsheng.
Signaling that the child in the concubine Bai Feifei's womb was going to be born.
"Good."
Lu Changsheng immediately went to see with Qu Zhenzhen and Lu Miaoyun.
But his daughter Lu Wangshu was still eager to continue fishing.
Lu Changsheng immediately called Lu Xianzhi over to keep an eye on his precious daughter, lest the fish should pull her into the lake.
Coming to the Lu Family Mansion at Bi Yun Peak, Lu Changsheng and several wives and concubines chatted as they waited outside the delivery room.
He was quite expectant of the child in Bai Feifei's belly.
If this child had a Spiritual Root, it would be his fortieth child with a Spiritual Root.
The system would likely accompany this with a 'Child Money' reward.
Time passed by bit by bit.
About half an hour later, with a mystical tremor, the system's notification sounded.
[Congratulations, Host, for your forty progeny with Spiritual Roots, you have earned one lottery draw chance!]
"Not only does this child have a Spiritual Root, but it's also a pretty good one, probably... a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root."
Lu Changsheng immediately deduced the child's Spiritual Root situation through the tremor.
This instantly cheered him up.
Not long afterward, the door to the delivery room opened.
"Congratulations, Master, it's a young master!"
The midwife came out of the room holding an infant, wrapped in swaddling clothes and looking adorable, and greeted Lu Changsheng with a cheerful smile.
As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and with Bai Feifei being a cultivator at the Sixth Level of Energy Refinement, the infant was rosy and cute right from birth.
"Good, a reward is in order!"
Lu Changsheng took out ten Lower Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag to give as a reward.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"
The midwife's face bloomed like a chrysanthemum with her smile.
She was originally just an external cultivator of the Lu Family.
But ever since she was appointed to Lu Changsheng's household to aid in childbirth, her days were thriving.
Not only was her work much easier, but whenever she helped with childbirth for Lu Changsheng's family, she often received red envelopes and auspicious money.
When Lu Changsheng moved to Bi Lake Mountain, she came along too, and now the well-being of an entire family depended on her.
"Feifei, you've worked hard."
After looking at his son for a few moments, Lu Changsheng went to Bai Feifei's room and said gently.
Having well over a hundred children, he no longer felt much inner turmoil over such events.
But it was still important to show the right attitude.
Plus, this child not only had a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root but also came with system-granted 'Child Money,' leaving him in quite a good mood.
"Husband, it wasn't difficult."
Bai Feifei was somewhat surprised and touched by Lu Changsheng's comforting words.
When she gave birth to her first child, Lu Changsheng wasn't even at home.
Now that Lu Changsheng had become a Foundation Building Great Cultivator and the master of Bi Lake Mountain, and he actually waited outside the birthing room and came to comfort her as soon as he could, she was pleasantly astonished.
After a brief conversation with Bai Feifei and telling her to rest well, Lu Changsheng left.
"System."
Lu Changsheng went to the top of Bi Yun Peak and summoned his mental spirit to connect with the system, looking up his newly born child.
[Name: Lu Yunfei]
[Lifespan: 1/78]
[Talent: Fifth Grade Spiritual Root]
[Cultivation Level: None]
"Indeed, a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root."
"Now, aside from Ping'an, my Lu family finally has a second child with a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root."
Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly, his face bearing a faint smile.
Having a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root meant that this child had the potential for Foundation Establishment.
"However, to advance my Fourth Grade Spiritual Root to the Third Grade, I still need a child with a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root."
"Otherwise, it's going to be very difficult to slowly accumulate enough."
Lu Changsheng thought about his own Spiritual Root.
He was full of anticipation for the children yet to be born, especially the one in Nangong Mili's belly.
"Bai Feifei's child has been born; I wonder what exactly is going on with the child in Nangong Mili's belly."
At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of the child in Nangong Mili's belly, unsure of its condition.
"System, draw the lottery!"
Without wasting another thought, he silently prompted the lottery to begin in his mind.
He was curious to see if this lottery draw would bring him any precious Elixir Medicines or heaven-and-earth treasures that might resolve Ling Zixiao's health issues.
Even though Ling Zixiao's condition had begun to improve with his and Lu Miaoge's treatment,
he felt somewhat guilty towards her and wanted to make it up to her so that she could recover sooner.
The familiar system roulette wheel appeared, then spun rapidly with a glow of golden light.
Under Lu Changsheng's expectant gaze, the gold light landed on 'Skills.'
[Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining Second Rank Wine Brewing Skills!]
[The reward has been distributed to the System Space. The Host can check it at any time.]
A light orb shaped like a wine jug emerged from the roulette wheel, along with the system's voice.
[Second Rank Wine Brewing Skills: Upon use, one can directly master Second Rank Wine Brewing Skills and the corresponding complete compendium of wines.]
