229: Bad news

The process of repairing High Grade Magical Artifacts was not very difficult, so Zhou Luo completed all repairs in just one hour.

Among these three High Grade Magical Artifacts, the Profound Spirit Pagoda's main function was to defend against enemies and could also launch active attacks.

The Golden Silk Jade Garment, on the other hand, emphasized defense more, similar to the function of a Magical Robe.

However, it also had some other functions, such as passively triggering a protective light shield when encountering danger, which could withstand a full-force blow from a Late Stage Qi Cultivator.

This point made Zhou Luo extremely happy.

As expected of a High Grade Magical Artifact, with this Wing, he no longer had to worry about being ambushed by other Cultivators in close combat.

He immediately put on the Jade Garment.

The Golden Silk Jade Garment could automatically adapt to the wearer's figure; the moment it was put on, it would transform into an ordinary inner lining garment.

After putting on the Golden Silk Jade Garment, Zhou Luo looked at the small bell.

This bell was named the Clear Heart Bell; as the name suggests, it could resist the erosion of illusionary power and protect the Divine Sense.

In addition, it could also release sound wave attacks, causing mental shock to enemies, making it a good Magical Artifact for both offense and defense.

Zhou Luo put it away, then left the third floor with noob.

With the three damaged Magical Artifacts repaired, he could now focus on having children and Dual Cultivation...

Seven months later, Li Ying successfully gave birth to a boy with a Fifth-Grade Spiritual Root, whom Zhou Luo named Changliang.

At the same time, his Spiritual Root Aptitude points were already halfway to the next stage.

This greatly excited Zhou Luo.

During these seven months, Lin Qinghan also successfully conceived, and Zhou Luo once again drew a special Physique called the Water Spirit Physique.

Like Little Changle's Wind Spirit Physique, it had great benefits for Cultivating water-attribute Cultivation Techniques and could also accelerate Cultivation...

Zhou Luo did not hesitate and gave it to Xiaoshiling, the only Third-Grade among all the children.

The birth of Little Changliang also brought great joy to the Li Family.

They had sent a concubine over initially, hoping she would quickly bear offspring to maintain a long-term connection with Zhou Luo.

This would facilitate their request for Zhou Luo to refine Foundation Establishment Pills for them, relying on the child's Face, after he became a Second-Order Alchemist.

A Second-Order Alchemist qualified to refine Foundation Establishment Pills was a highly sought-after existence.

Currently, many Cultivators in these Chang Sheng Families were at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, or even Half-Step Foundation Establishment.

But because they lacked Foundation Establishment Pills, they had been stuck there.

Now that their goal was achieved, they immediately sent generous gifts.

Zhou Luo did not refuse; he had spent a lot of money at the last auction, so he needed to recover well this time.

On this day, Zhou Luo came to the area in the backyard where spiritual plants were planted.

Ever since Xu Changsheng became a spiritual plant Master, he had entrusted this land to him for management.

Now, after such a long time, these spiritual plants had thoroughly proliferated.

However, without illusionary power support, to maintain their vitality, Spirit Stones had to be used.

This amounted to a considerable expense each month.

"No need to expand," Zhou Luo said.

These spiritual plants with illusionary power were now almost sufficient, and further expansion would only be a waste.

"Master, do you think we should set up a Magic Array to transport illusionary power?" Xu Changsheng respectfully asked.

Zhou Luo pondered for a moment, then shook his head in refusal.

They were not Second-Order Formation Masters and could not keep the Magic Array running continuously; it would require regular maintenance and power replenishment.

That would also consume Spirit Stones, so there was no difference between the two methods.

However, he had a better idea in mind.

In the afternoon, he directly carried noob to this piece of land.

This little fellow was now a Second-Order Spirit Beast; it could absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi on its own and convert it into illusionary power.

Zhou Luo planned to have it release illusionary power daily to ensure these spiritual plants did not die.

He did not expect these spiritual plants to flourish, as they were primarily used to assist in combat; as long as they were sufficient, it was fine.

After doing all this, Zhou Luo came alone to the place where the dragon blood grass was planted.

After such a long period of Cultivation, this dragon blood grass finally produced a few seeds.

The seeds had not yet sprouted, but their vitality was strong; given enough time, several more dragon blood grass would grow.

This news greatly excited Zhou Luo.

Later, if he could find the growing locations of the other two main Materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill and transplant them, he would no longer have to worry about the Materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In the days that followed, Zhou Luo did not leave his home again.

As his Dual Cultivation Technique with Lin Xi became more proficient, their Cultivation speed also became faster and faster.

Although Zhou Luo currently only had an Eighth-Grade Spiritual Root, with the help of the Dragon-Phoenix Union Art, his Cultivation speed was already comparable to a Seventh-Grade Spiritual Root.

If his Spiritual Root could be raised another level, his Cultivation speed would be even faster.

Therefore, while Dual Cultivating, he also made sure to spread his favor evenly.

It was thanks to the powerful effects of the Dragon-Phoenix Union Art and the many methods to solidify Yang and lock essence that Zhou Luo could be so unrestrained.

Three months later.

Lin Jinxuan and Bai Zhiyan respectively gave birth to a boy and a girl, both of Fifth-Grade.

Zhou Luo once again gained one hundred and twenty years of Lifespan.

At this point, his Lifespan bonus had reached a terrifying over six hundred years.

This number was already comparable to a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator; an ordinary Golden Core True Person simply could not live longer than him.

Seeing so much Lifespan, Zhou Luo became even more determined in his idea of eternal Cultivation, living a reclusive life daily, basically no longer showing his Face.

Even if the Family had something to find him for, he would delay as much as possible, and if he couldn't, he would leave it to Lin Xi to handle.

As a result, the Family Disciples were all discussing this renowned Upper-Grade Alchemist.

Some believed that he even shirked the Family's assigned tasks and had no loyalty to the Lin Family.

Others believed that he was accumulating strength.

More people, however, thought that he was simply greedy for beauty, which was why he had so many wives and children.

No matter what the discussions, they did not affect Zhou Luo's inner peace in the slightest.

Because he knew that all this gossip now was because he was about to become the Sixth Elder.

After all, everyone knew that the Sixth Elder, Lin Zhishou, was nearing the end of his Lifespan and probably did not have many days left.

For this reason, everyone was also incredibly curious as to whether this position of Sixth Elder would indeed go to Zhou Luo.

Besides the Lifespan bonus, what excited Zhou Luo even more was the increase in Aptitude points.

Two Fifth-Grade Spiritual Roots meant forty Aptitude points.

Adding the previous fifty-five Aptitude points, that was a total of ninety-five Aptitude points, but it was still far from a Seventh-Grade Spiritual Root.

From Ninth-Grade to Eighth-Grade only required one hundred Aptitude points, but from Eighth-Grade to Seventh-Grade, it required a full five hundred Aptitude points.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!

Perhaps it was also due to the improvement of his Spiritual Root that he had so many Medium Grade Spiritual Root descendants.

Zhou Luo was not in a hurry; he always maintained his own rhythm.

After a year of Dual Cultivation, he successfully entered the Late Stage of the sixth level of Qi Cultivation.

This speed was very fast, no longer a speed an Eighth-Grade Spiritual Root could achieve, mainly thanks to the help of the Dragon-Phoenix Union Art.

Just as days were progressing steadily like this, the thing Zhou Luo least wanted to happen still occurred.

Master Lin Zhishou's Lifespan had run out...
