Ancestor Above

After talking about the water ghost lake, Lu Qing also revealed to Lu Chaoxi the three crusade incidents he had recently investigated.

Lu Chaoxi expressed his understanding that in the next few years, he will organize the family's staff to find out and deal with these three threatening places one by one.

Those three places are not difficult to fight, not to mention the one-star one, which is slightly stronger than the Dadong Fox Group but limited; the remaining two two-star ones are slightly more threatening, with second-tier monsters as leaders , but regardless of the strength of a single monster or the overall number, it is far less scary than the water ghost lake.

So, Lu Qing was not too worried about this, he just waited for the good news to pop up on the system interface.

After Lu Chaoxi left, Lu Qing began to figure out how to use the more than 200 points of karma in his hand.

The things in the exchange list are too rare now, and it is not reliable to rely on natural refreshes to refresh once every ten years. It must still take karma to refresh.

He has not tried this refresh function, and he does not know how this refresh is achieved, and how many exchange options can be refreshed at one time.

If it is done in batches at a time, like when the system was first obtained, there are seven or eight, then that's fine; but if it is done one at a time...the ten karma will be a huge loss.

"Just try it and you'll know."

Thinking like this, Lu Qing clicked the refresh function.

The exchange list suddenly disappeared, and then the two items that originally existed appeared first. Under these two options, three illusory and blurred fonts were subsequently revealed, and gradually became clearer one by one.

After refreshing, you get three exchange items. Is this fixed?

Unknown, Lu Qing decided to try again.

After paying another ten points of karma, he activated the refresh function for the second time.

And this time, five new ones were added.

In this way, every refresh, the number of new exchange items is random.

Among the total of eight new exchange items, there are four for one star and four for two stars.

Lu Qing glanced at it, and some were quite valuable.

For example, [Two-star state class: Restoration of life essence].

[The exchange of this item can be used to restore the normal lifespan of a family member whose lifespan is damaged, and can only be used for monks who are in the foundation-building period and below. 】

Seeing this option, Lu Qing was overjoyed immediately.

After he regained consciousness, in addition to worrying about his family, he was most worried about the situation of his eldest son, Lu Chaoxi.

Lu Chaoxi's lifespan was running out, with only ten years left, which was far less than the 180-year-old of the average foundation-building cultivator. Although he has now reached the threshold of the ninth floor of the foundation building, he will be able to complete the breakthrough in two or three years, but the remaining time is still too tight.

At that time, he only had six or seven years to live. If he wants to continue to live, he must break through to the enlightenment period.

But in six or seven years... I am afraid that it can only consolidate and consolidate the realm, and accumulating strength to attack the enlightenment period is definitely not enough.

And if he exchanged [Restoration of Shouyuan] to Lu Chaoxi, his remaining time would have changed from ten years to sixty or seventy years!

Then Lu Chaoxi is really promising!

But looking at the exchange price of this two-star item again, Lu Qing's heart went cold again.

It takes three hundred karma to exchange this thing!

After refreshing the exchange options twice, he only had two hundred and eight points of karma left.

A bit worse.

However, he quickly reconsidered that it doesn't matter if it's not enough now, after all, he still has ten years.

In the past ten years, even if he does nothing, he will be able to generate a hundred karma after another wave of seclusion, and he can exchange this [Restoration of Life Essence] for his eldest son.

Of course, Lu Qing would not really be like this.

The three crusade events that were explored just before could have earned him nearly 500 karma.

He pondered for a while and decided that the more than two hundred karma in his hand should not be kept.

The future of the son must be guaranteed, and the development of the family cannot be left behind.

The stronger the family is, the faster and easier it will be to earn karma, and the more support it will bring to family masters like Lu Chaoxi and Lu Mingchao.

Regarding the other exchange options, Lu Qing began to think about what would be better to exchange this time.

After spending some time planning, Lu Qing made a decision.

He first changed the option of a family blessing.

[One-star family category: family planning]

[Increase the reproduction probability of all family members to a certain extent. It will last for ten years and consume ten karma. 】

This one-star blessing for the whole family is not expensive, so arrange it directly.

The grandfather urges the baby!

Generally speaking, the fertility rate of monks is lower than that of mortals, but this is not caused by physiological factors.

Mainly it's a matter of fertility desire.

Compared with the mortal tradition of 'inheriting the lineage', monks don't care so much in this regard. On the other hand, it is very disadvantageous for female cultivators to have children. It takes ten months to give birth to a child, which delays cultivation.

The most important point is related to cultivation. Although Yuanyin and Yuanyang are not particularly decisive factors, they are somewhat influential. For some people who are aspiring to the Dao, in order to go one step further in their cultivation, abstinence and self-restraint are not impossible things.

In this dimension, the Lu family is actually quite viable.

Lu Qing has nine children. Among these nine children, except for Lu Mingchao who has never been married to a Taoist companion and has no descendants, the other eight are not much worse than his own father. Further down, three generations of people from Tingzi and Mingzi have spread their branches and leaves, so that the Lu family currently has only one hundred and six blood relatives when Lu Qing first woke up five years ago.

Of course, this is a figure that includes in-laws. Women who marry into the Lu family and men who marry into the Lu family are all members of the Lu family. But married daughters will not be included in the family register.

From this perspective, the 'family rise system' is quite traditional.

Five years later, the population figure became one hundred and eighteen.

Of course, not every Lu family member is a monk.

The cultivation of the parents when they gave birth to their children has something to do with the talent of the children.

This relationship is not direct. After all, even among the biological children of Lu Qing, the Jindan ancestor, there are people with five spiritual roots like Lu Chaoheng, the second son. And the reason why there is a little relationship is that Lu Qing is used as an example. The nine children, no matter how good or bad, have spiritual roots.

The influence of parents' cultivation is a little, but very small. This more critical factor may still depend on fate.

For example, Lu Wenen, who was selected five years ago when Qingfengmen came to the Lu family to select apprentices, was considered an excellent talent with double spirit roots, and his father Lu Mingcheng was a mortal.

At present, the Lu family, regardless of whether they are mortals or monks, all live on the Jade Mist Mountain.

However, this is definitely not sustainable. If the time is longer, the Lu family may not be able to escape the fate of almost all cultivating families: a large number of branches that have not been cultivators for a long time may be moved away from Jade Mist Mountain. A Lujia Town or something like that was established at the foot of the mountain.

Of course, it is not to give up these clansmen. It’s just that the spiritual vein itself is a very important resource. Jade Mist Mountain is only a second-order spiritual vein now, and the spiritual energy it produces is limited. Reiki, exclusively for monks, this is inevitable.

For the mortals who were moved out, if their descendants gave birth to children with spiritual roots, they would also be taken back to the mountains to practice.

In any case, if the family wants to grow and develop, the population must be the primary productive force.

The larger the population, the greater the probability that there will be outstanding talents in the family in the future.

The Lu family, who was quite prolific in the first place, could become more prolific after adding [family planning]?

Lu Qing was looking forward to it.
