Unlimited Investment in the Destined Protagonist: Forging an Eternal Immortal Clan - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Ling Xiyue Is Pregnant, Breakthrough to Spiritual Pill Realm Seventh Layer, Family Promoted to Sixth Rank!

Seeing Ling Xiyue agree, Lu Qingxuan spoke up.

“Xiyue, study this technique first. Once you’ve grasped it a bit, we’ll practice dual cultivation together.” After speaking, Lu Qingxuan took out two items prompted by the system and handed them to her.

“I have some things here that should still be useful to you right now! Since you’ve practiced swordsmanship, this Sword Dao Crystal Stone might help you comprehend Sword Intent. And this Mysterious Insight Golden Pill—see if it can assist you in breaking through to the Spiritual Pill Realm.”

Seeing Lu Qingxuan once again offering her resources, warmth welled up in Ling Xiyue’s heart.

The Lord truly cared about her and hadn’t forgotten her.

“Thank you, My Lord!”

Ling Xiyue took the Sword Dao Crystal Stone and the Mysterious Insight Golden Pill, thanking him softly.

[Ding! Investment successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining three low-grade Heaven-grade spiritual veins, one low-grade spirit stone vein map, two bottles of Jade Spirit Divine Pills, three pots of Myriad Treasure Pills, 200 portions of rare Earth-tier spiritual herb seeds, the King-tier martial skill Primordial Prison-Suppressing Force, and the top-grade Heaven-grade technique Silent Thundercloud Method!]

Lu Qingxuan temporarily ignored the system’s reward notification.

He instructed Ling Xiyue to carefully study the Great Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Art first, then left her room. Upon returning to his cultivation palace, Lu Qingxuan immediately began reviewing the investment rewards.

[Low-grade Spirit Stone Vein Map: Marks an unexplored spirit stone vein that can yield low-grade spirit stones!]

With this spirit stone vein, it could bring considerable low-grade spirit stones to the family.

Lu Qingxuan was very satisfied and continued looking through the rewards.

[Jade Spirit Divine Pills: Low-grade Heaven-grade pills, two bottles total, ten pills per bottle. The best pills for enhancing Soul Palace Realm cultivators’ cultivation, with no pill toxicity!]

[Myriad Treasure Pills: Top-grade Earth-tier pills, three pots total, one hundred pills per pot. The best pills for enhancing Spiritual Pill Realm cultivators’ cultivation, with no pill toxicity!]

Seeing that both types of pills were the best for boosting cultivation, Lu Qingxuan nodded in approval.

The Lu Royal Mansion had never possessed such high-quality pills before. Now, with these, they could encourage the clan members to cultivate more diligently.

[Primordial Prison-Suppressing Force: A King-tier fist technique requiring immense physical strength to support it. If successfully cultivated, it can condense terrifying prison-suppressing fist energy, with extraordinarily fearsome power!]

Seeing such a formidable King-tier fist technique, Lu Qingxuan’s eyes lit up slightly. This fearsome fist technique paired perfectly with his Tyrannical Heaven Physique.

Lu Qingxuan planned to try cultivating it when he had the time.

[Silent Thundercloud Method: A top-grade Heaven-grade technique, a lightning-attribute method containing two matching lightning-based divine abilities, with impressive power!]

Though Lu Qingxuan didn’t plan to learn this technique himself, it could serve as a foundation for the family, stored in the scripture pavilion for other clan members to cultivate.

After reviewing all the investment rewards, Lu Qingxuan first handed the low-grade spirit stone vein map to the Sixth Elder, Lu Ze, who was in charge of mining operations, instructing him to send people to extract it.

After handling this, Lu Qingxuan placed the three newly obtained low-grade Heaven-grade spiritual veins on Sky-Supporting Island.

In an instant, the spiritual energy concentration in the entire Lu Royal Mansion surged several times over again. The clan members were once more shocked by this terrifyingly abundant spiritual energy, their faces brimming with excitement.

With such an excellent cultivation environment, the clan members were confident it would greatly boost their cultivation speed. For a time, a wave of cultivation fervor swept through the entire Lu Royal Mansion.

As time passed, after half a month of development, the overall strength of the Lu Royal Mansion had improved considerably. And Lu Qingxuan’s cultivation had finally reached the peak of the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion Realm.

“Xiyue, have you mastered that technique?” Lu Qingxuan arrived at Ling Xiyue’s room and asked.

“Mm.” Ling Xiyue nodded and happily agreed.

“Good, then let’s test the wonders of this technique!”

With that, Lu Qingxuan began practicing the “Kun” technique with Ling Xiyue. It wasn’t until noon the next day that Lu Qingxuan awoke in Ling Xiyue’s room.

At this moment, Lu Qingxuan was in an excellent mood because he had successfully broken through to the Spiritual Pill Realm. Besides Lu Qingxuan’s breakthrough, Ling Xiyue had also finally reached the Spiritual Pill Realm. At the same time, Ling Xiyue’s Exquisite Divine Physique had finally awakened. This thrilled her beyond measure.

In that moment, Lu Qingxuan was like a ray of light in her heart, resolving the knot that had plagued her for years and prevented her breakthrough. How could she not be overjoyed?

Right then, Lu Qingxuan activated his True Sight to check Ling Xiyue’s updated information.

[Name: Ling Xiyue]

[Cultivation: First Layer of the Spiritual Pill Realm]

[Aptitude: Supreme (Original: Genius)]

[Comprehension: Great Emperor (Original: Prodigy)]

[Talent: Exquisite Divine Physique]

[Fortune: Not long ago, with the help of a fated person, she awakened her Exquisite Divine Physique. She has not yet awakened her past life memories as an Empress!]

Seeing that Ling Xiyue hadn’t awakened her past-life memories, Lu Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

After spending a few tender days with Ling Xiyue, the two parted ways and each began cultivating on their own.

Upon returning to his cultivation room, Lu Qingxuan took out the Purple Purity Saintly Tyrant Scripture to study and practice.

Now that he had stepped into the Spiritual Pill Realm, he could cultivate this ancient scripture that trained both energy and physique.

This technique consisted of twelve realms: Spirit Clarity, Origin Clarity, Upper Clarity, Grand Clarity, Jade Clarity, Void Clarity, Dark Clarity, Mystic Clarity, Flower Clarity, Treasure Clarity, Supreme Clarity, and Purple Clarity.

Each realm not only allowed the cultivator to condense a specific divine light of clarity but also unlocked corresponding physical treasures, tempering the Physique’s vitality and granting supreme divine strength.

In addition, each realm came with its own combat technique, each with immense power.

For example, cultivating to the Spirit Clarity Realm allowed one to condense Spirit Clarity Divine Light and master the matching combat technique—Spirit Clarity Heaven-Shaking Fist.

Reaching the Origin Clarity Realm allowed one to condense Origin Clarity Divine Light and master Origin Clarity Sword Finger.

Entering the Upper Clarity Realm allowed one to condense Upper Clarity Divine Light and control Upper Clarity Void-Destroying Hand.

…

Each realm was wondrous and indescribable, with overwhelming power.

However, cultivating this technique required vast resources, though for the initial realms, Lu Qingxuan’s resources were sufficient. From then on, Lu Qingxuan devoted himself to diligently practicing this technique.

At the same time, in Lu Yu’s courtyard, he was sitting cross-legged in his room, cultivating the Eight Gates Escape Armor. Ever since Lu Qingxuan gifted him this high-tier Earth-tier technique, he had been tirelessly practicing it.

At this moment, Lu Yu was operating the Eight Gates Escape Armor method, channeling all the vitality in his body toward the right side of his chest, striving to unlock the first gate—the Gate of Rest.

Though waves of excruciating pain assaulted him, Lu Yu gritted his teeth and endured it all.

As time passed, Lu Yu’s vitality gradually depleted.

Whenever his vitality was nearly exhausted, Lu Yu immediately mobilized the mysterious crystal in his body, drawing out strands of life essence energy that flowed rapidly through him, replenishing his vast consumption of vitality.

At the same time, these strands of life essence also repaired some of the damage to his physique. With the aid of the mysterious crystal, Lu Yu’s cultivation speed with this technique became exceptionally fast.

Time flew by, and three months passed.

During these three months, Lu Qingxuan either cultivated in his room or practiced the “Kun” technique with Ling Xiyue in her room.

In this period, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, reaching the seventh layer of the Spiritual Pill Realm, making him the strongest cultivator in the Lu Royal Mansion. Beyond that, he had perfected the first realm of the Purple Purity Saintly Tyrant Scripture and mastered the first two seals of the Human King Seal Technique.

His overall strength had undergone an earth-shaking transformation. Especially his physical power—Lu Qingxuan himself didn’t even know how much it had increased.

He felt that, even barehanded, he could face a Soul Palace Realm expert without fear.

Ling Xiyue wasn’t far behind, having reached the fifth layer of the Spiritual Pill Realm. And just a few days ago, Ling Xiyue secretly told him she was pregnant.

This news thrilled Lu Qingxuan to no end—he finally had an heir!

Thus, Lu Qingxuan stopped practicing the “Kun” technique with Ling Xiyue and gave her plenty of resources, urging her to rest and nurture the pregnancy.

Besides their significant progress, the family had also developed greatly over these three months, producing over a dozen Purple Mansion Realm cultivators. In such a rich cultivation environment, many clan members achieved breakthroughs of varying degrees, ushering in a period of prosperity.

The five core elders, bolstered by abundant resources, also made considerable strides. At this point, the Second Elder had reached the third layer of the Spiritual Pill Realm.

The Fourth and Sixth Elders, previously in the late Purple Mansion Realm, had successively broken through to the first layer of the Spiritual Pill Realm. As for the remaining two core elders, they had both reached the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm.

Of course, one other person had progressed remarkably fast—Lu Yu.

With the aid of the mysterious crystal, Lu Yu had cultivated the Eight Gates Escape Armor to the fourth gate. Though this technique grew increasingly difficult with each subsequent gate, the mysterious crystal’s assistance greatly accelerated his progress.

Otherwise, an average person might not even unlock a single gate in half a year! This was the heaven-defying advantage of having a cheat-like tool.

One day, while Lu Qingxuan was cultivating in the palace, a system voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the Lu Royal Mansion has more than three Spiritual Pill Realm cultivators and more than ten Purple Mansion Realm cultivators. The family has been promoted to a sixth-rank faction. A special reward is issued.]

[Would the host like to claim it immediately?]

“The family has finally risen to a sixth-rank faction?”

Hearing this, a smile of joy spread across Lu Qingxuan’s face.

It had been less than four months since he took over as the head of the mansion, and he had already restored the family to a sixth-rank faction. This filled him with gratification.

Without hesitation, Lu Qingxuan thought to himself, “Claim it immediately.”

[Ding! Reward being distributed …]
