40: Draw again

After so long, Lin Zier had finally conceived; it was not in vain for all his hard work.

However, Zhou Luo had gradually realized that as his cultivation increased, the difficulty of conception had indeed risen significantly.

If it were the him from the beginning, he estimated he would already have over a dozen children.

There are gains and losses.

Cultivation certainly could not be neglected.

Otherwise, even if he drew a Fifth-Order Alchemy technique, if he were only a Qi Training cultivator, someone could still slap him to death with a single palm.

The lottery was merely an aid; the Realm was what truly mattered.

Stopping his cultivation, Zhou Luo immersed his consciousness into the lottery page once again. With a slight movement of his mind, the golden ball of light began to rotate.

Watching the white wheel quietly, his heart was without a ripple.

Because he discovered that the more he wanted something, the less likely he was to get it.

It was better to be more laid-back; perhaps the System might even give him a surprise.

A few seconds later, the golden ball of light stopped in the "Spirit Treasure" area.

Sure enough, being laid-back really could bring good luck.

If it was a Spirit Treasure, then what he drew certainly wouldn't be too bad.

Whether it was a treasure that could provide basic combat power or one that promoted cultivation, it was what he needed at the moment.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Lingxi Jade!]

[The reward has been automatically issued to the host's inventory; please check it!]

"Lingxi Jade?" Zhou Luo had never heard of this type of Spirit Treasure.

He immediately looked at the inventory tab.

He discovered an icon shaped like a jade pendant had appeared there.

[Lingxi Jade]

[Grade: First-Order High Grade]

[Description: Refined from the essence blood of a certain powerful Yao Beast. After wearing it, it can nourish the mind, provide immunity to a certain degree of Mental Energy attacks, and greatly enhance one's own Mental Energy.]

He didn't expect it to actually be a First-Order High Grade Spirit Treasure.

Zhou Luo was momentarily surprised.

It just so happened that he was lacking such a Spirit Treasure.

A few days ago, when he attempted to refine a First-Order Top-Grade Medicinal Pill, he had encountered a situation where his Mental Energy was exhausted.

Although he was already a First-Order Top-Grade Alchemist, facing the same top-grade Medicinal Pills was far more taxing on his mind than the previous ones.

So much so that his Alchemy speed had slowed down significantly.

Now that he had this Spirit Treasure, he didn't need to worry about this problem anymore.

He decisively chose to use it.

The next second, Zhou Luo in the outside world suddenly discovered a white jade pendant in his hand.

Putting it around his neck, Zhou Luo immediately felt a coolness emanating from the Lingxi Jade, seeping through his skin into his heart, making his mind peaceful and his Dao Heart clear, as if he were situated in the middle of a calm lake.

Afterwards, when Zhou Luo tried cultivating again.

The feeling was clearly different from before.

If the previous cultivation was like walking in a desert, then at this moment, he felt as if he were stepping on a white cloud, without a single distracting thought or obstacle.

It was worthy of being a First-Order High Grade Spirit Treasure.

Near noon, Zhou Luo walked out of the training room and had just arrived at the first-floor hall.

He discovered that little Shiyi was playing with the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat, accompanied by a maid.

This little white cat was lying lazily on the table, looking listless.

But little Shiyi was staring at it, unblinkingly, laughing happily, and from time to time she would dance with joy.

She didn't even notice Zhou Luo approaching her.

"Master." The maid bowed in salute.

Zhou Luo sat down next to the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat, his right hand gently stroking its smooth fur.

Suddenly, he felt a stirring in his heart.

The Snow Mountain Spirit Cat suddenly opened its eyes, which were filled with confusion.

At the same time, little Shiyi also had a puzzled look on her small face, asking in a milky voice: "Xiaobai, where is the kite?"

Only then did she notice Zhou Luo and called out: "Daddy."

Zhou Luo scooped her up: "It's time to eat."

"Oh." Little Shiyi was a bit disappointed.

Zhou Luo couldn't help but cover the spot where the jade pendant was, lost in thought.

This First-Order High Grade Spirit Treasure was truly useful; it could even block the illusions of the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat.

Currently, the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat, which was in its infancy, was gradually Awakening its illusion abilities.

If it were before, Zhou Luo would still be affected by it.

But with the Lingxi Jade, he would not be affected at all.

After pondering, he carried little Shiyi and walked towards the dining room, with the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat following obediently behind its master.

After the children grew up, the dining table suddenly became lively.

The little ones were chattering away to each other, just like the sparrows outside the window, chirping, but it didn't seem noisy at all; instead, it added a sense of warmth.

The Snow Mountain Spirit Cat lay quietly beside little Shiyi.

Ever since he learned that little Shiyi liked it very much, Zhou Luo had instructed it to take good care of this little master.

In fact, it had indeed fulfilled its duty, even letting little Shiyi enter illusions from time to time to experience happiness.

This was something Zhou Luo allowed.

Because he discovered that the illusions would not cause harm to little Shiyi, and doing this often could also improve the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat's control over its illusions.

Holding the youngest, little Shiya, and looking at the scene before him, Zhou Luo suddenly felt an impulse to record this moment.

Unfortunately, there were no cameras in this world.

And Spirit Treasures that could record images were not cheap either.

He could only see if he could draw one in the future.

After eating, Zhou Luo gave a few instructions and walked towards the Spirit Vein Blessed Land alone.

At the moment, he still had a full three months of time unused.

Anyway, there was nothing to do at the moment, so naturally, he had to cultivate properly.

Arriving at the Spirit Vein Blessed Land again, Zhou Luo discovered that his training room had actually been moved to the inner circle.

The Lin Family's Spirit Vein Blessed Land was distributed in an Eight Trigrams shape, and under the isolation of the Formation, it was divided into the outer circle, the inner circle, and the core circle.

The core circle was the place where the Main Family and the big figures of the Family cultivated.

The outer circle was the place where unimportant Family disciples and Matrilocal Son-in-laws cultivated.

As for the inner circle in the middle, it was often for the pillars of the Family, or the future hope.

It seemed that after talking with the Grand Elder last time, his treatment had improved again.

He sat cross-legged on the futon in the room.

Zhou Luo began to circulate the Gathering Spirit Art.

As soon as the technique was activated, he could clearly feel that the absorption speed of Spiritual Qi here was dozens of times faster.

If he continued to cultivate at this speed, it seemed he would soon have a Breakthrough.

He calmed his mind and began his secluded cultivation.

During this period, another major event occurred within the Lin Family.

The newly contested Spirit Mine was suddenly attacked by an unknown force, and the originally stationed Cultivators suffered heavy casualties.

Afterwards, it was discovered that this matter was related to evil Cultivators.

Consequently, the Lin Family strengthened the garrison force at the Spirit Mine.

But the Family's Cultivators had already lost quite a few in the previous fights.

If they increased the garrison here now, other Spirit Mines would likely be coveted by those with ulterior motives.

In response to this, the Elder Council, after unanimous discussion and decision, dispatched a large number of Formation Masters to garrison other Spirit Mines.

After all, the role played by one Formation Master was equivalent to over a dozen Cultivators.

In addition to this, the first batch of Matrilocal Son-in-laws recruited by the Lin Family were also sent to the various Spirit Mines.

The later Matrilocal Son-in-laws replaced their positions, achieving the true meaning of "Your wife, I will support; do not worry."

Thus, apart from Zhou Luo.

The Matrilocal Son-in-laws who had entered the Lin Family together with him were all no longer in the Family.
