to that of Xiao Xiyue’s initial progress and even surpasses it by a notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Lu Changsheng inquired about the situation of his other children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth child with a Spiritual Root has also reached twelve years of age, and has started the cultivation process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he has not yet completed the drawing-in of Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Starting from next year, the children who are able to cultivate will experience a minor burst in growth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng spent an entire day caring for and inquiring after all his children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that in the next four years, he would have fifteen children with Spiritual Roots stepping onto the path of immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was thanks to his frenetic sowing when he first arrived at Nine Dragons Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just five short years, he had fathered sixty children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On average, one child per month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn’t been for the Second and Fourth Elders persuading him to take care of his body and show some restraint, the number might have been even higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine Dragons Market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng reflected on the days when he bought maids from the White Jade Tower in Nine Dragons Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It feels like it’s time to select some more maids.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but think to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these wives and maids, apart from Lu Miaoge who had only given birth to one, Lu Miaohuan had borne two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others had at least three or four each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the concubines had gone as far as having five or six children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lu Changsheng’s view, this number was about right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the purchased maids had no rights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t be treated solely as breeding machines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empathy was key; the concubines needed to be devoted to him wholeheartedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, when the children grew up, seeing their mothers treated like this, they would feel uncomfortable too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the outflow is to be stemmed, the source must be widened by increasing the number of maids.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, I now have the money to go to the White Jade Tower and purchase maids with Middle Grade and even Upper Grade Spiritual Roots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng thought to himself for a moment; he decided to visit the White Jade Tower in Nine Dragons Market when he had some free time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just about income and expenditure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his maids were of Lower Grade Spiritual Roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had a certain influence on the Spiritual Root talent of the children born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that his circumstances had improved, it was time for a further step in selective breeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the higher the parents’ Spiritual Roots, the better the children’s Spiritual Roots would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staying in Qingzhu Mountain for ten days, Lu Changsheng prepared to return to Red Leaf Valley Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a relatively dense cultivation level surged into Lu Changsheng’s body from nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately knew that his son, Lu Xianzhi, had broken through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had reached the Fourth Level of Energy Refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Fourth Level of Energy Refinement, if not counting the quality of Spiritual Power and mana, is about one percent of my current cultivation level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s equivalent to saving me a month and a half of arduous cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng closed his eyes to feel the incoming cultivation strength and roughly estimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we calculate this way, a hundred cultivators at the Fourth Level of Energy Refinement would be equal to one Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the quality difference in mana allows a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to easily slaughter a hundred cultivators in the middle stage of Energy Refinement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly, knowing such calculations were not feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But reaching the middle stage of Energy Refinement at least has some effect on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When breaking through to the Second and Third Levels of Energy Refinement earlier, there was no perceivable impact on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I’m at the Foundation Establishment level, for my children to impact me, they need to be at the late stage of Qi Refinement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But waiting for a child to cultivate to the late stage of Energy Refinement will probably take another ten to twenty years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path of cultivation seemed long and distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, aside from Lu Qingshan and the previously mentioned son with a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, Lu Qingxuan, the Spiritual Roots of his current children were mediocre at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only two with Sixth Grade Middle Spiritual Roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the others were of Lower Grade Spiritual Roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But indeed, as I suspected, there was no achievement reward for the child breaking through to the middle stage of Qi Refinement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that such cultivation-related achievement rewards won’t trigger again until they break through to Foundation Establishment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, it’s way too difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng saw no system notification and shook his head inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had anticipated this, he still held a faint hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see if breaking through to the middle stage of Qi Refinement would trigger an achievement reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xianzhi is also fifteen or sixteen now, having broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refinement, it’s time to let him gain some experience in Red Leaf Valley Market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lu Xianzhi’s breakthrough to the middle stage of Qi Refinement, Lu Changsheng thought about his son who was no longer young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to let him go out to broaden his horizon and get tempered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, flowers cannot be grown in a greenhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These children were his future foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would need them to manage the family later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with average Spiritual Roots, they must be well-cultivated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thereupon, Lu Changsheng walked towards Lu Xianzhi’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, I’ve broken through to the middle stage of Energy Refinement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lu Xianzhi emerged from the courtyard, his face bright with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lu Changsheng, he spoke with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, far stronger than your father back in the day,\" Lu Changsheng said, not sparing on praises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could the child dare to compare with you, Father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back then you relied on your own efforts to progress step by step.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it weren’t for the resources you spent and the environment you provided, how could I have broken through to the middle stage of Energy Refinement so quickly?\" Lu Xianzhi quickly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The praise from his father, though thrilling,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he was very aware that his current wealth was entirely due to standing on his father’s shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guided by his grandmother’s teachings and interaction with other Lu Family disciples, he knew that many Lu Family Disciples didn’t have conditions as favorable as his brothers and sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father had used all his cultivation resources to support them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since he only has a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, deemed unworthy of cultivation, yet his father chose to treat him no differently.\u003C\u002Fp>",1152,"2026-05-29T15:30:21.340Z","2026-06-01T04:29:36.927Z",1,"novelbin.me","fc886140c19f972af0daa7054e5e8bf1dc81a500a6d649671495eeb677d12920","starting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-chapter-193","starting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-chapter-192",2404,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-cover.jpg"]
