254: Long-awaited lottery

The next day, Wang Lang brought the Spirit Stones to Zhou Luo's separate courtyard.

Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to invite the other party to a pleasure house to listen to music, but for some reason, when he saw Lin Xi, he felt a sense of apprehension.

It was as if he had done something wrong.

So much so that whenever he was about to invite Zhou Luo out, he would have his woman first stabilize the other party.

Before long, the appearance of Lin Xi and Li Ying also spread throughout the neighborhood.

Especially after seeing how beautiful the two women were, it attracted envy, jealousy, and hatred from a group of people.

That Xu Tian, who had a good impression of Zhou Luo, also never came to visit again.

However, she seemed to have left very early and hadn't returned, perhaps having gone to search for Foundation Establishment Materials.

In the following days, Zhou Luo's daily routine was to study Second-Order Pill Refining Technique and Gu technique during the day.

At night, he would engage in Dual Cultivation with Lin Xi, and occasionally sleep in Li Ying's room.

...

One year later.

One night, Zhou Luo, who had just finished Dual Cultivation, finally heard the long-awaited System prompt.

【Congratulations to the host for successfully impregnating your Dao Companion through unremitting efforts, granting one lottery chance.】

The pregnancy prompt sounded, causing Zhou Luo's heart to tremble. It felt as if the stone weighing on his heart had been removed, and he felt relieved.

He quickly opened the lottery interface, looking at the white lottery wheel he hadn't seen in a long time, and Zhou Luo actually felt a bit dazed.

He wondered if the probability of having children would be even smaller after Foundation Establishment in the future.

Fortunately, his lifespan had now increased to a terrifying one thousand years, so he didn't need to worry about the probability issue.

Anyway, as long as he worked diligently and progressed step by step, he would still be able to have descendants.

Although it would become more difficult to have descendants at higher Realms, the talent of the descendants born would also be higher.

These two are directly proportional.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Zhou Luo focused his gaze on the seven lottery areas.

If there was anything he wanted most at the moment, it was undoubtedly Second-Order Pill Refining Technique.

In this year and a half of study, he found that without the System, he really didn't have much talent for Pill Refining and had been unable to grasp the essence of Second-Order Pill Refining Technique.

However, the main reason was that Zhou Luo's demands on himself were too high.

After all, First-Order Pill and Second Order are equivalent to Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, and they are not that easy to break through.

Those First-Order Pill geniuses who might have been astonishing in the Qi Refining Realm might spend their entire lives unable to break through to Second Order.

This kind of thing is like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate; not everyone can master it so easily.

He just wondered if the System would fulfill his wish this time?

Zhou Luo stared at the lottery wheel and began the lottery.

A golden light cluster slowly appeared and began to spin rapidly over the seven areas.

Under his gaze, the speed gradually slowed down and finally stopped in the Cultivation Methods area.

Seeing that it was actually Cultivation Methods.

Zhou Luo's heart sank halfway.

Indeed, Second-Order Pill Refining Technique was not that easy to draw; the task was heavy and the road was long.

But if it's Cultivation Methods, then so be it.

He currently only had three Cultivation Methods; besides Five Elements Swordplay, the other two were related to movement techniques. It was good to have more Cultivation Methods.

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining Water Spirit Heart Sutra!】

【Reward has been automatically issued to the host's inventory, please check!】

Mind method?

Zhou Luo looked at the name of this Cultivation Method and couldn't help but be surprised.

A mind method usually refers to Cultivation methods and techniques, generally the Immortal's understanding of their own Cultivation. Unlike ordinary Cultivation Methods which focus on external Cultivation and the improvement of combat skills, it focuses more on auxiliary effects.

Because of this, a good mind method can allow Cultivators to better control their inner power, thereby more accurately and effectively displaying their strength in combat.

At the same time, the Cultivation of a mind method can also promote the improvement of Cultivation Methods, allowing the original Cultivation Methods to unleash even more powerful strength.

Mind methods and Cultivation Methods are complementary and mutually beneficial.

Looking at the name of this mind method, it should likely be used in conjunction with water attribute Cultivation Methods.

Just right, there is a move called "Water Curtain Sky Bloom" in the Five Elements Swordplay. If it can be used in conjunction with this mind method, it might be able to unleash even greater power.

Zhou Luo couldn't help but look at his inventory slot.

【Cultivation Method: Water Spirit Heart Sutra】

【Grade: Low Grade Foundation Establishment】

【Description: Originating from a method created by a certain Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, during Cultivation, it can mobilize one's own water attribute spiritual energy, calm the mind, repair injuries, etc. When used in conjunction with water attribute Cultivation Methods, it can also unleash even greater power...】

Foundation Establishment level Cultivation Method?

Zhou Luo's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

He didn't expect that he would actually draw a Foundation Establishment level Cultivation Method, and it was a mind method, not a combat Cultivation Method.

For a moment, his heart surged, and the disappointment he felt from not drawing Second-Order Pill Refining Technique was swept away.

The value of this draw was too great.

If it were a Foundation Establishment level combat Cultivation Method, he might not be so excited.

Because with his current strength, he couldn't activate a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation Method. Even if he forced himself to activate it, he couldn't exert the full power of the Cultivation Method.

But a mind method is different.

It focuses more on auxiliary effects and emphasizes the understanding of Cultivation, so it doesn't require such high spiritual energy.

Even if he was in the Qi Refining Realm, he could still activate this Foundation Establishment Realm mind method, and he didn't need to worry about the phenomenon of spiritual energy depletion.

Looking at the introduction above, Zhou Luo found that this mind method mainly had two major functions.

The first is to assist oneself, improving resistance to negative effects such as illusions and poisons, as well as accelerating the repair of injuries and dispelling Mind Demons, etc.

The other aspect is the bonus to water attribute Cultivation Methods.

He wondered what kind of effect a Foundation Establishment Realm mind method would have if applied to a Qi Refining Realm Cultivation Method.

Zhou Luo couldn't help but feel a little anticipation.

In any case, this Water Spirit Heart Sutra is extremely suitable for him at present, especially the mentioned dispelling of demonic obstacles and resolving Mind Demons, etc., which is much better than going to a pleasure house to listen to music.

He wondered if this mind method would be of greater benefit if Zhou Shiling cultivated it.

Zhou Luo couldn't help but think.

After all, Zhou Shiling has a Water Spirit Physique. If she were to Cultivate this Heart Sutra, her Cultivation speed would probably be even faster.

However, he was not in a hurry to give this Heart Sutra to her. After all, this was a Foundation Establishment Realm mind method. If it were discovered by the Immortal Sect, it would be difficult to explain its origin.

He planned to Cultivate it himself first and try the effect.

Immediately, Zhou Luo chose to use it without hesitation.

As the icon dissipated, Zhou Luo only felt a mysterious and endless power surge from all over his body, and at the same time, various introductions about this mind method appeared in his mind.

A clear and ethereal feeling rose in his heart. He felt as if he was in a vast ocean, and the comfortable and gentle feeling made him feel relaxed and at ease.

This was the wonderful use of a mind method.

Once you master it, it will continuously influence you and bring you great benefits.

"I wonder if this mind method will be effective against Bai's illusions."

As soon as he obtained this Foundation Establishment Realm mind method, Zhou Luo planned to test it out.
