Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Talisman Treasure: Golden Light Brick!_1
```
Two months later.
Lu Changsheng welcomed his seventh child into the world.
Standing outside the delivery room, as soon as he heard the cries from within, his spirits lifted, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face.
But in the next moment, his eyes revealed a complex mixture of emotions.
At the moment of the child's birth, Lu Changsheng himself felt a profound and ineffable connection.
Spiritual Root!
It was his own Spiritual Root that was throbbing!
At the same time, the sound of a system notification confirmed that it was not his imagination.
[Congratulations to the host for the first birth of a child with a Spiritual Root, granting you one chance to draw a reward!]
"My previous guess was correct."
"If a child possesses a Spiritual Root, it exists from birth, though still unformed, requiring growth and development until it stabilizes and manifests around the age of five or six, when it can be detected."
"Having the system, the child's Spiritual Root contributes to my own, so I sensed it the moment this child was born with it."
"This also means that my previous six children... none of them have a Spiritual Root."
Lu Changsheng, knowing his child possessed a Spiritual Root, naturally felt great excitement and joy.
After all, only with a Spiritual Root could a child embark on the path of cultivation.
Only then could the talent of the Spiritual Root be added to his own, accelerating his cultivation speed.
However, having the lack of Spiritual Roots in his other six children confirmed also complicated Lu Changsheng's feelings, causing him some distress.
Although he had been prepared for this possibility, facing the reality still brought discomfort.
Without a Spiritual Root, the child would have no choice but to lead an ordinary life, and he would have to watch each of his children go through life and death.
This was one of the cruel truths of the Cultivation World.
"Husband, what's the matter?"
Lu Lanshu, standing beside him, noticed Lu Changsheng suddenly become absent-minded and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something."
Lu Changsheng shook his head, dispersing the thoughts from his mind.
Birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural ways of life.
It's not only the children without Spiritual Roots.
All of his wives and concubines lacked Spiritual Roots as well.
They would also eventually go through life and death before his eyes.
Even though he had the system and could practice cultivation, it didn't guarantee that he would achieve immortality and witness longevity.
So why worry about so much for now?
With the system present, if his children could all step onto the path of immortality in the future, nothing could be better.
If not, as their father, he could still ensure that his children would face as little suffering as possible in their growth, giving them a good environment to live a happy and contented life.
"Congratulations, son-in-law, it's a little master."
At that moment, a midwife walked out, holding a baby wrapped in a blanket.
"A son?"
"A son is good, as my first child to possess a Spiritual Root, he may have to endure some hardships following me on the cultivation path."
Lu Changsheng took the child, looking at the swaddled, ruddy, and wrinkled baby, his face showing a hint of a smile.
"Let's name this child Xianzhi."
Lu Changsheng lifted the child high and said softly.
This was his first child born with a Spiritual Root.
He hoped that this child could follow him on the path of cultivation into the future and eventually attain immortality.
"Xianzhi?"
Lu Lanshu, Lu Zi'er, and a few other women were somewhat surprised at the name.
In the past, Lu Changsheng's names for his children were always based on themes like peace, joy, comfort, and tranquility.
Why did he suddenly change his approach for this child?
Seeing the expressions of the women, Lu Changsheng paused for a moment and then chuckled, "I was planning to tell you all later, but today, I have successfully drawn a First Grade Talisman and have become an Elementary Talisman Master."
"It is akin to taking the first step on the path of cultivation. Since my son was born today, naming him Xianzhi is also a wish for him to step onto the path of cultivation in the future."
Lu Changsheng found a reason to explain.
It was an explanation for the women but also for the Lu Family.
Just in case it turned out that only this child among all his children happened to have a Spiritual Root, it could raise suspicions and lead to unnecessary conjecture.
"Congratulations, husband!"
```
"Congratulations, my husband!"
"Today is truly a double blessing!"
"The husband has just become a Talisman Master, and now the child is born, such an auspicious sign."
Upon hearing these words, the joy immediately spread across the faces of the women as they congratulated Lu Changsheng.
Under his influence, they had come to know a lot about Talisman Making.
They knew that with their husband becoming an Elementary Talisman Master, his status in the Lu Family would henceforth be greatly different.
As his wives and concubines, their status would also rise with the tide.
The family entered the birthing room full of joy, to visit the concubine who had given birth to the child.
This concubine was named Lu Yuzhu.
Upon hearing the news that Lu Changsheng had become a Talisman Master and the name of her son, she was also extremely delighted.
After a brief chat, everyone left the birthing room. Lu Changsheng handed the child over to Lu Lanshu and went to his study for his third lucky draw.
"System, I want to draw a prize."
It was still that familiar prize wheel.
Having gone through two draws before, Lu Changsheng looked at the prize wheel with the same mix of nervous anticipation.
"I hope it won't give me another 'Immortal Beauty Technique' like before. Give me something useful!"
With a silent prayer in his heart, Lu Changsheng muttered, "Start the draw!"
Immediately.
A golden light began to spin on the pale red wheel.
Under Lu Changsheng's expectant gaze, the golden light slowly came to a halt, finally stopping above the treasure column of the draw.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Talisman Treasure 'Golden Light Brick'!]
[The reward has been dispatched to the System Space; the host can check it at any time]
A talisman paper with the image of a golden brick shimmering in golden light appeared along with the system's notification.
"Talisman Treasure!?"
Upon hearing this notification, Lu Changsheng was instantly overjoyed.
He had seen information about Talisman Treasures in a Lu Family book.
This was an item that bridged the gap between Talisman and Magical Treasures.
It sealed a portion of a Magical Treasure's power within a specially made Talisman.
Allowing lower-level cultivators to temporarily unleash the power of Magical Treasures.
However, only ten to twenty percent of the original Magical Treasure's power.
But ten to twenty percent was already a lot.
After all, these are Magical Treasures!
The kind that only a Nascent Soul Immortal could use.
For an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it already possessed an overwhelming lethality.
Talisman Treasures were incredibly rare and priceless, and Lu Changsheng had only read about them in books. He never imagined he would actually draw one.
Lu Changsheng immediately checked the Talisman Treasure in the System Space.
[Talisman Treasure: Golden Light Brick]
[Description: A Talisman Treasure refined by the Immortal 'Golden Light' from his high-grade Magical Treasure 'Golden Light Brick', using it will produce a golden brick that attacks enemies, possessing twenty percent of the 'Golden Light Brick's' power]
[Note: The full power can be unleashed three times if used by a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage using their mana. A cultivator at the Qi Refinement Realm can only exert part of the power with their spiritual power.]
"Refined from a high-grade Magical Treasure, this indicates that the power of this Talisman Treasure is stronger than ordinary ones!"
Lu Changsheng, looking at the information about this Talisman Treasure, was ecstatic.
Talisman Treasures were refined by Nascent Soul Immortals using their own Magical Treasures; naturally, the power would vary according to the grade and quality of the Magical Treasures.
Like this Golden Light Brick Talisman Treasure, being refined from a high-grade Magical Treasure, it indicated that its power was among the higher ranks of Talisman Treasures.
"With full power unleashed, I can use it three times before this Talisman Treasure becomes ineffective."
"Using my current cultivation at the Qi Refinement Realm, I'll be able to exert only ten to twenty percent of its power, which should allow me about ten or so uses, right?"
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
Each use of a Talisman Treasure would consume some of the power sealed within it.
Once its power is exhausted, the Talisman Treasure will naturally become ineffective.
Unless one finds the original Magical Treasure to nourish and replenish its power, it cannot be repaired.
This Talisman Treasure drawn from the system naturally had no one to repair it.
Additionally, not many Nascent Soul Immortals were willing to expend their Magical Treasures' power to refine Talisman Treasures.
Mostly, it was the Nascent Soul Immortals nearing the end of their lives, about to transcend, who would do so to leave something valuable for self-defense for their descendants and successors.
