Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Nine Netherhound cub!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The reward has been distributed to the System Space, and the host can check it at any time.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An image of a small creature, dark as the abyss and resembling a wolf or a dog, emerged from the big wheel, accompanied by a system notification sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Nine Netherhound cub?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng paused, his face lighting up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it wasn’t the cultivation technique he wanted most,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he also considered pet beasts quite nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, those who played games in their previous lives know the importance of having a good ‘pet’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s pretty much the same in this cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one has a good spiritual pet to accompany them as they grow, it can provide considerable help in both combat power and other aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had never heard the name ‘Nine Netherhound,’ Lu Changsheng was unsure of what rank this demon beast was,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but after the previous three draws, Lu Changsheng had some trust in the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that while products from the system might sometimes be useless, they were never trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng directed his mental spirit to look at the Nine Netherhound in the System Space, and information immediately surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spiritual Pet: Nine Netherhound]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Rank: Heaven Grade Middle Grade]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: An ancient fierce beast variant, with Heaven Grade Middle Grade bloodline, possessing a trace of the primordial True Spirit Nine Netherhound bloodline, can grow to its peak in five hundred years and become a Fourth Rank demon beast.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss! A Heaven Grade Middle Grade bloodline, and it even has a trace of the primordial True Spirit’s bloodline.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as it grows to its peak, it can become a Fourth Rank demon beast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the information about the Nine Netherhound, Lu Changsheng gasped in surprise and felt a wave of exhilaration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cultivation world, besides the human race, there are many other races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such as winged, feathered, scaly, insect, flora, and fauna that can cultivate and ascend, are all collectively called demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, most demons are unenlightened with little intelligence and are also known as demon beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength division of demon beasts is very straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From low to high, they are classed as: First Grade, Second Grade, Third Grade, Fourth Grade, Fifth Grade…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corresponding to the Qi Refinement Realm, Foundation Establishment Stage, Core Formation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, and Divinity Transformation Stage of the human cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference between demon beasts and humans is that humans possess a Spiritual Root and strengthen themselves through cultivation techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While demon beasts cultivate and grow stronger through the bloodline inheritance within their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the bloodline rank, the greater the potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as Lu Changsheng knew, the bloodline ranks for demon beasts were divided into: Low Rank Bloodline, Middle Grade Bloodline, High Rank Bloodline, Earth Grade Bloodline, Heaven Grade Bloodline,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the legendary True Spirit Bloodline!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Low Rank Bloodlines, also known as Mixed Bloodlines,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>will never break through to become Second Rank demon beasts in their lifetimes without some sort of fortuitous encounter that purifies or mutates their bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Middle Grade Bloodlines will grow into First Rank demon beasts, but there’s hope to grow into Second Rank demon beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High Rank Bloodline demon beasts will mostly be Second Rank at their peak, with a chance to become Third Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth Grade Bloodline demon beasts are Second Rank in their mature stage, and at their peak, they have a high chance of reaching Third Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Heaven Grade demon beasts, they are Third Rank in their mature stage and can hope to reach Fourth Rank at their peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Nine Netherhound obtained by Lu Changsheng not only had a Heaven Grade Middle Grade bloodline but also a trace of the primordial True Spirit bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, given five hundred years, it could smoothly grow to its peak and become a Fourth Rank demon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is equivalent to a human cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Fourth Rank demon beast is equivalent to a human Nascent Soul True Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to the information I’ve seen in the Lu Family library, within the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm where I’m situated, the Nascent Soul Stage is the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only the ‘Heavenly Sword Sect’ has a Nascent Soul True Lord in residence, even the Qingyun Sect that I tried to enter through the assessments doesn’t have a Nascent Soul True Lord presiding over it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Nine Netherhound can grow into a fourth-rank demon beast, I could walk sideways through Jiang Country’s Cultivation Realm with complete impunity,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng said with a trace of excitement and exhilaration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Cultivation Realm of Jiang Country where he resided, the strongest power was known as ‘Heavenly Sword Sect’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within its gates sat a Nascent Soul True Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath it were Qingyun Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Spirit Taming Sect, the Three Great Immortal Sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these Three Great Immortal Sects didn’t have a Nascent Soul True Lord at their helm, they each possessed several Nascent Soul Immortals and had very profound foundations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the Three Great Immortal Sects were two sects, three cities and three aristocratic families, making up eight great powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eight powers were headed by a Nascent Soul Immortal and were considered the pinnacle forces within Jiang Country’s Cultivation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Cultivation families like the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain, which only had a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator at their helm, there were many, and it was impossible to record them all in the books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Lu Changsheng noted that the book he saw was almost a hundred years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content recorded therein was likely to have changed considerably by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a moment later, Lu Changsheng shook his head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if one cultivates to the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, one would only have a lifespan of a hundred years. Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage would only extend one’s life by another hundred years, living to be a bit over two hundred.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only a Nascent Soul Immortal can have a lifespan of five hundred years!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Therefore, if I can’t break through to the Nascent Soul Stage and become a Nascent Soul True Lord myself, even if the Nine Netherhound grows into a fourth-rank beast, it wouldn’t mean much to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lifespan of demon beasts is generally several times that of humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For demon beasts, a Nine Netherhound managing to grow into a fourth-rank within five hundred years is already quite fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for humans, this period is a bit lengthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even the lifespan of a Nascent Soul Immortal barely exceeds five hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if one consumes life-extending elixirs or heavenly treasures, at most a few more decades or a century could be added, but ultimately, it is limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage can one’s lifespan surpass a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With a five hundred year pinnacle period, reaching maturity in two or three hundred years shouldn’t be a problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maturity should be equivalent to a third-rank beast at the Core Formation Stage. So, growing into a second-rank beast in around a hundred years would also be feasible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looking at it this way, it seems not too bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, in the world of cultivation, there are methods to tame and control beasts, including many techniques that can speed up the growth of demon beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng licked his lips, thinking to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The growth of demon beasts can be divided into infancy, growth, maturity, and peak – four stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Netherhound cub he won in the lottery naturally was in its infancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But according to the hundred arts of cultivation he knew of, there existed a skill called beast taming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It involves domesticating demon beasts into spiritual beasts for cultivators to utilize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pet beasts that Lu Changsheng’s system awarded naturally didn’t need domestication and were absolutely loyal to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, within these beast taming techniques, there were many husbandry methods capable of accelerating the growth of spiritual beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng was aware that the Spirit Taming Sect, one of the Three Great Immortal Sects, was renowned for nurturing spiritual beasts, with each disciple taming and controlling a spiritual pet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t urgent at the moment; I can look into it later if I get the chance to obtain the method for nurturing spiritual beasts. For now, I’ll just raise it normally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But right now, it’s inconvenient for me to take the Nine Netherhound out of the System Space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, if others see that I seemingly conjured a demon beast cub out of thin air, I’d have no way to explain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It just so happens that I need to make a trip to the secular world soon. When I return, I can take it out and claim I bought it to guard the house or to be a companion for the children.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some contemplation, Lu Changsheng decided not to take the cub out of the System Space but to continue keeping it inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like system rewards, keeping it within the System Space without taking it out doesn’t affect it in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once it’s taken out, there’s no way to put it back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Thank you ‘Book Friend 20180320084218622’ for the 5000 coin reward, I feel a deep sense of recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, thank you ‘Fatty Head’ for the 500 coin reward, and ‘Book Friend 20200911024200054’ for the 100 coin reward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1581,"2026-05-29T15:30:21.054Z","2026-06-01T04:29:36.927Z",1,"novelbin.me","0f98a59b7d1d6b33d8bea4f2d635af3493d48e1c7ba40a4e52c87dd7687aeb7b","starting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-chapter-23","starting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-chapter-21",2404,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-cover.jpg"]
