133 [ Chapter 132-goal: spend 6000 karma! ]

After being excited for a while, Lu Qing calmed down.

This spiritual peak Holy tower definitely had to be built, and the sooner the better.

This was a permanent building of wonder. The longer it existed, the greater the accumulated benefits it would bring to the family.

However, Lu Qing felt that he should not be thinking too much.

Its effects were very strong, especially the one with a single spiritual root, which was very attractive.

Take Li Yanling for example. She was discovered quite late by hai Sande, but she still completed the foundation building before the age of 50, entered the initial enlightenment stage before the age of 80, and tried to break through to the Golden core stage when she was 160 or 170 years old. Although she failed, she did not suffer too much damage. Of course, it was because of the protection of pills and treasures, but the help of her own spirit root was also great. Otherwise, she would probably have to recuperate for another ten to twenty years before she could come out of seclusion.

Gongsun Xia, on the other hand, was a precious treasure to the Gongsun family.

However, thinking about it, the probability of a single spiritual root was originally very small. Even if the probability was greatly increased, it might not be particularly high?

The spiritual peak Holy tower’s effect in this aspect would take a longer time to blossom and bear fruit.

However, the first feature, [increase the probability of mutated spiritual roots ], might be more practical.

Mutated spiritual roots might not be good, but lightning spiritual roots were definitely good. He was not suitable for farming, average at forging, average at refining pills, and only slightly better at making talismans, but he did not have any advantages.

However, those with lightning spirit roots could still fight among those of the same level.

In terms of the family, the bright yang Thunder manual was a wondrous-grade cultivation technique that specialized in Thunder. The godly sword lightning-controlling true spell was also easier to master for lightning cultivators, and it was more powerful when used.

If he wanted to build this spiritual peak Holy tower, he would definitely choose someone with a lightning spiritual root.

If that was the case, the combat strength of the new generation of cultivators of the Lu family would definitely soar.

After that, he looked at the other two three-star rare exchange options.

These two were relatively more familiar.

One was [ rare breakthrough bottleneck ].

Lu Qing had obtained a three-star [ rare breakthrough bottleneck ] before. This exchange option could be used when a foundation building cultivator broke through to the initial enlightenment stage. It would increase the probability of breaking through by 30%.

Lu Qing was in a dilemma. Should he give this to mingchao?

Mingchao would probably try to break through to the initial enlightenment stage within ten years. She had the help of the yin-essence water Jade and had double spiritual roots. Her success rate was 80%, not lower than when Lu chaoxi had broken through.

However, the problem was that it was not a hundred percent.

If he failed to break through to initial enlightenment, he would not die, but he would be severely injured. He would need twenty years to recover. It was obvious that the basic success rate of the second attempt would be much lower than the first. More importantly, if he failed, the yin-essence water Jade would not come back after being used. If Ming Chao tried to break through again, the success rate would be very low.

If he gave her this [ rare breakthrough bottleneck ], there was almost no chance of failure.

“Eh, no, Yingluo, I still have the [ power of enlightenment ]! Chaoxi has already proven that experiencing the power of the initial enlightenment stage in advance is helpful for breaking through. There should be no need to waste another rare exchange item.”

As Lu Qing thought about this, he decided to hide this and save it for the future.

In the future, Chaohe would also try to break through to the initial enlightenment realm, and it might be useful.

Lu Qing was still a little troubled when he thought about this.

I have quite a lot of methods to help them break through to the initial enlightenment stage. Sigh, I don’t know when these stinky boys and girls will be able to quickly master them so that I can use the Kasaya on them.

The other rare item was [ gold virtue spirit body ].

“Damn, didn’t I get the [ Earth Spirit body ] when I refreshed the exchange list last time? So this was a rare item? Could it be that there was a chance of getting a rare item during normal refresh times? So I was lucky that time?”

Lu Qing was rather concerned about this situation.

First, he focused on the [ gold deling body ].

There were no cultivators with metal spiritual roots among the foundation building cultivators in the clan.

Lu Weiwen was probably the most suitable person for this.

This young lady had metal and earth double spiritual roots and was already twenty years old this year. Her rate of improvement was slightly slower than her cousin, Lu Wenen, but she was still at the sixth level of the Qi refining stage.

Normally, the little girl would be able to reach the ninth level of the Qi refining stage before the age of 30. Then, she would try to break through to the foundation building stage by the time she was around 35. If he were to give her the [ gold spirit body ] now, this speed could be accelerated by five to ten years.

Her talent was even better than Chao He, who had obtained the [ Earth Spirit body ]. After all, Chao He only had three spiritual roots. As for her, she had double spiritual roots and a spiritual body. Her talent in cultivating the metal element cultivation technique was not inferior to those with single spiritual roots.

As he thought about this, Lu Qing suddenly felt that there was a golden core seedling in the clan!

If Lu Weiwen was properly trained in the future, she might even be a person with a chance of reaching the Golden core realm!

In fact, Lu Qing felt that little Weiwen did not even need to use the foundation building elixir when she tried to build her Foundation.

With the metal and earth double spiritual roots and the gold virtue spiritual body, the probability of directly building the foundation could reach 60%, and with the moon essence powder, it would increase by 30%. What else was there to say about the 90% probability?

Moreover, breaking through without the foundation building elixir would also have the benefits of a better foundation and more abundant magic power.

Even though he did not have the foundation building elixir and he would die if he failed, Lu Qing felt that he could take the risk, which was less than 10%.

“I’m not that unlucky, am I?”

“Even if my face is black, little Weiwen’s face isn’t that black, right?”

……

Lu Qing immediately took out the two rare exchange options.

3,300 karma was instantly evaporated.

In the past, he would not have been willing to spend so much karma.

However, the karma he had earned from killing Zhao Zidan and fending off the Zhao clan’s attack was simply too much.

He didn’t really feel much when he spent the 3000 points.

After all, he would still have 5210 points left after spending all of them.

This was still a number that he didn’t dare to think about before.

I don’t want to think about anything, I’ll draw ten times in a row first!

After spending 150 karma points, he obtained 31 exchange options, six of which were three-star.

His luck wasn’t too good this time.

Then let’s have another ten draws!

There could be a third one!

After drawing three tenses, Lu Qing spent 450 karma in one go in exchange for 109 new exchange options. He had a total of 23 three-star exchange options.

Including the ones who had stayed previously, there was a total of nearly 150.

Lu Qing’s eyes were dazzled as he looked at the dazzling array of exchange options.

After some thought, he decided to spend a lot of money first!

First, he exchanged almost all of the spiritual root enhancement items.

There were a total of 21 one-star spiritual roots Enhancement Pills.

The current population of the Lu family had already exceeded 200. There were a total of twenty children under the age of six, and seven of them had spiritual roots.

All the bloodlines of the Lu clan originated from Lu Qing, a golden core cultivator. The furthest generation from him was four generations away. The descendants of golden core cultivators were more likely to have spiritual roots. Regardless of what the spiritual roots were, there was always a slight advantage.

However, this advantage had begun to weaken after four generations.

Lu Qing’s nine children all had spirit roots. In the generation with the ” ting ” character, many of them did not have spirit roots. There were even more people with the ” Ming ” character in the generation. The number of people born in the ” Wen ” generation was still not enough, but the overall ratio would definitely be lower.

This was the inevitable result of his bloodline gradually diluting. After all, Lu Qing was only at the Golden core realm and not an ancient immortal. His bloodline would be diluted very quickly.

However, he had the system.

Twenty-one people with one-star spiritual roots could almost cover all the members of the clan under the age of six.

Lu Qing was mainly going to tell the children who did not have spiritual roots about the use of improving their spiritual roots. When they were mentioned to have Penta spiritual roots, they would be considered to have the preliminary qualifications to cultivate.

Although the cultivation of the Penta-spirit veins was extremely slow,

In the past, Chao Heng had only reached the ninth level of the Qi refining stage when he was sixty or seventy years old, thanks to the help of Lu Qing, his golden core father. It was impossible for an ordinary cultivator with five spiritual roots to have such a strong support of resources, and it was also impossible for someone to invest so much. The same amount of resources thrown on a cultivator with three spiritual roots might even be able to make a foundation building cultivator.

Cultivators with five spiritual roots might spend their entire lives at the third or fourth level of Qi refinement. If they could reach the sixth level of Qi refinement by the age of 100, their comprehension and root bone would be considered not bad.

But even so, Lu Qing still managed to produce a pile of them.

This was because one could imagine that in the future, the Lu family’s power would welcome a period of great expansion. In comparison, the population of the Lu Corporation was too small.

There would be a major problem with a small population, and that was when the family’s plate grew bigger and bigger, no one would be in charge anymore.

Relying on outsiders? Not reliable enough. Moreover, Lu Qing could not use the system for people outside of his clan. This would cause his control over the system to decrease.

In terms of population, there was no other way. Lu Qing had been changing the family planning policy. However, the children had to be born one by one. The occasional twins were not enough!

In the past 20 years, the family’s population had doubled from a little over 100 to more than 200.

However, in the past, there really wasn’t much that could be done about the population of cultivators. Things like spiritual roots couldn’t be obtained by asking for them.

He was fine now. Upgrading 21 one-star Spirit roots would only cost him a total of 200 karma. It was not considered much.

And he hadn’t spent all of it.

Out of the seven children who already had spiritual roots, two of them had triple spiritual roots. Lu Qing immediately changed two of them to level up their spiritual roots to level up their spiritual roots to level up their spiritual roots to Level 2.

Right now, he already had too many spiritual roots improvement tools in his hands. It did not matter if it was one-star, two-star, or three-star spiritual roots, it would be the same. He had three three-star spiritual roots improvement skills, which could promote people to mutated spiritual roots. However, it was useless for children who did not have double spiritual roots.

Lu Qing had spent less than 300 karma in this wave.

He hoped that these children could all grow up.

In the future, Lu Qing felt that before the population of the clan expanded to a certain extent, he could be more open-minded and raise the spiritual roots of every newborn child of the Lu clan.

Those without spiritual roots would be raised to five, five to four, and four to three. There was no problem with that. If there was an innate three, it would be simply wonderful. He could directly upgrade his spiritual root to two stars and raise it to double spiritual roots.

If he was lucky and another person with double innate spiritual roots appeared like Wenen and Weiwen two years ago, he would be able to have an additional mutated spiritual root if he was given a three-star!

Coupled with the lightning attribute [spiritual peak Holy tower ], it was a powerful weapon.

“Turtle Pixiu”

in the future, all the children of our Lu family will have A +1 spiritual root. Moreover, the probability of them having lightning spiritual roots will increase greatly. That’s too awesome!

“And it’s not expensive!”

but this is only for now. In the future, when the population increases, we might not be able to support Huanhuan. But it doesn’t matter. We’ll definitely make a big profit!

These things were all investments for the future of the family.

Now that he was rich, Lu Qing felt that there was no problem with spending this sum of karma to do this.

The rest of the money was for some small expenses, such as the continuation of the family heritage.

When Lu Qing saw the four family traditions of ” noble family style “, ” diligent cultivation “, ” family planning “, and ” loyal to the family members “, he changed them out. In total, he spent less than 200 karma, so there was no problem with the renewal fee.

In addition, he also saw a three-star family trait.

[ three-star family style: a fortuitous encounter ]

[ within ten years, increase the chances of the clan’s cultivators encountering fortuitous encounters. Cost: 350 karma ]

A fortuitous encounter!

Lu Qing had encountered some of them when he was young. He had entered the illusionary realm left behind by a senior expert, killed a strange beast and obtained a special treasure, including the Soul of the Fire Dragon that had now become his symbol. It must be a kind of fortuitous encounter for him to be able to pick up the Dragon-shaped jade pendant on the battlefield in the northern kingdom.

Lu Qing did not think that 350 karma was expensive. As long as the clansmen could trigger one or two fortuitous encounters in the next ten years, they would have made a profit.

The exchange was done!

After looking at the family culture, he looked at The Resource Exchange section.

The most common options for the resource category were [ resource exploration ] and [ resource upgrade ].

Lu Qing took out the [ resource exploration ] and used the one-star option to search in the north and west.

The reason why he chose these two directions was that the West and North of Yuyan mountain were the famous ‘North barren forest’, a place where humans had not yet set foot in.

Judging from the previous resource explorations, at least this exchange option was not made up of nothing.

The resources that he had found through his search, the school of three-eyed Yin fish and the School of Water-Spirit Horses, were all already there, but it was very likely that they had not been discovered by cultivators, let alone developed. Through the search and Exchange tab, Lu Qing could spend karma to find these resource points that he might miss out on under normal circumstances or would be difficult to find.

In that case, it was not appropriate to head south or East. To the South was Sishui River, and to the East was Luyi. They were all developed lands. There might be some resources in these two directions, but the probability was definitely not as high as the north and west, near the North barren forest.

By combining one-star and two-star searches, they found two resource points from the seven North-headed searches and three from the eight West-headed searches.

One of them was in the North, and it was especially impressive.

Grade-4 resource: Cloud Sea divine whale

[ Quantity: 1 ]

[ status: wandering, 1500 miles away from Yuyan mountain. Leave in three days. ]

estimated resource income: none

……

He just had to take a look at the resources. Although he was envious, he was destined to never get them.

Lu Qing had never seen the cloud Sea divine whale when he was alive. He had only heard of the existence of this divine beast.

They had extremely long lifespans, and it was said that their bodies could reach up to two thousand feet-more than half a kilometer!

They were like whales, but they lived high up in the sky and swam in the sea of clouds all day long. He didn’t know what to eat or drink, or maybe he didn’t need it at all. If it didn’t show itself, it would be difficult for people to find their traces. They were flying too high and very fast.

It was said that the cloud Sea godly whale was gentle and kind, but without a doubt, one had to be at least in the Golden core stage if they wanted to take it.

If Lu Qing still had an option to revive, he might not have been able to defeat him. Furthermore, the clan did not have a 4-star Beast Tamer. There was nothing they could do about this mythical beast.

As for the other four, they were more practical.

If he sent people to develop and transplant the three herbs, it would definitely provide more income for the family’s medicine garden.

The other was a cold iron vein a thousand miles to the West of the spirit Lake vein.

It was too far away. Moreover, Lu Qing had taken a look and realized that the frost iron vein was buried rather deep. It would be more difficult to develop it.

This could only be recorded for the time being, as there was not much value in developing it at the moment.

He hadn’t used up all of his resources, but after five explorations in each of the two directions, he didn’t find any new resource points, so he decisively stopped.

There might not be any more valuable resources for him to search.

It was also possible that he needed a more advanced search option.

Let’s stop here for now.

If these three herbs were transplanted back, the family’s herb garden’s annual income would probably increase by about 120 spirit stones.

Lu Qing had spent 300 to 400 karma for this.

When he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately stopped his losses. There was no need to continue spending karma after realizing that he could not find any more resources.

He still had [ resource exploration ] left, but he didn’t plan on using it.

[ resource upgrade ], that should not be a problem, right? Even if they could not upgrade the resources to the star level, they would still have the effect of increasing production.

He would not lose out on this.

Yuyan mountain’s medicine garden had used up two 2-star upgrades and was upgraded to 2-star. Its income had increased by more than 80 spiritual stones a year. Most importantly, the survival rate and growth rate of the grade-2 herbs had both increased.

The steel Red bugs, three-eyed fish, and the spiritual white almond tree had used up seven 2-star resource points to upgrade to 3-star, and their annual income had increased by more than 400. However, the investment required for maintenance had also increased by more than 100 yuan, but it was still a profit.

Lu Qing had used a total of nine two-star [ resource upgrade ] cards and 450 karma for this part of the upgrade.

Lu Qing planned to use the few three-star [ resource upgrade ] cards he had on hand on the energy stone mine.

But not now.

The last time he was promoted to three-star, a stonemother appeared and caused some trouble. It even caused the death of two of his grandchildren. This kind of mistake had been made once, and he couldn’t make it again. If he were to rise from three-star to four-star, the commotion would definitely be even greater. There might even be a spiritual monster, and it was very likely to be a Tier 3 spiritual monster, and it was very likely to be a Tier 3 mid-grade or high-grade.

Lu chaoxi was still at Level 1 of the initial enlightenment stage. He would have a hard time fighting a level three low-grade spiritual monster, let alone a middle-grade or high-grade one.

If he wanted to upgrade this, he had to be fully prepared.

Lu Qing had planned to wait until the dawn of the dynasty was over before the two of them worked together. He would also take some of the battle exchange items and stand guard at the side before they went to upgrade the energy stone mine.

Lu Qing also saw more than ten types of level one and level two resources in The Resource Exchange tab. He had spent 400 karma to increase the income of the herb garden, the alchemy room, and the tempering room. In total, he had increased the income by more than 300 spirit stones a year. The maintenance fees had also increased by more than 100.

With the search, upgrade, and Exchange of resources, the clan’s annual income would increase by about 800 spirit stones in the future. Including the increase in maintenance fees, the annual income would be 600 more.

Currently, the clan’s total annual income would be about 5600 a year.

As for the expenditure, it seemed to be a little high for the time being, reaching ten thousand spirit stones a year. However, many of these were temporary. For example, Lu chaoxi and Li Yanling’s cultivation allowance was 1000 spirit stones each a year. Chaoxi still had to pay him for eight or nine years, but Li Yanling would leave the Lu family in less than a year, so she did not have to pay him all the time.

The other large part was in the reduction of production and investment in the war.

The expenditure was the spirit stones that the Lu clan and the Zhao clan had spent during the war to arm their clansmen, purchase medicinal pills, maintain their rule over Pingyao County during the period of lockdown, and a series of other activities. This was a huge number. They had spent more than 3000 spirit stones in just about a year.

Furthermore, due to the Zhao clan and their various allies in the anling Prefecture locking down the Lu clan, the Lu clan’s income was greatly affected. In the past year, the clan’s income had decreased by more than 2000 Yuan.

Now, the most important stage of the war had basically ended. This part of the expenditure should also drop in the future, and the loss of production reduction should recover soon.

If these two were excluded, the annual expenditure needed to maintain the family’s operation was about 4200 Yuan.

In this way, the family’s annual net income had reached 1500 Yuan.

The net income of the Lu family had more than doubled compared to before the White ghouls had gone south!

The most important upgrade was the ‘five elements Spirit Tree’ that he had exchanged his merit points for after the war, as well as the resource upgrade that he had spent a large amount of karma on.

Every year, the family had a profit of more than 1500 spiritual stones. This was a sign that the family’s finances had improved greatly.

The clan’s current days were not tight at all. All kinds of resources were well maintained, and the welfare of the clan members was also much better than before. They could also support the cultivation of many foundation building and initial enlightenment cultivators. Under such circumstances, they could still make a profit of 1500 spirit stones, which meant that the family would have a lot of savings in a few years.

Then, Lu Qing took out the exchange options for the upgrade of his secondary professions, [ talisman creator level up ], [ Beast Tamer level up ], and [ weapon refinement master level up ].

Lu chaoxi had become a level two high-grade talisman master. He would have to rely on his own efforts to break through to level three. [ Beast Tamer’s Ascension ] was given to Lu xueting’s apprentice, a cultivator from the family named Lu qinming. She was promoted to 2-star and could help xueting better. At the same time, she could also free some energy for her own cultivation. The [ weapon refiner’s star upgrade ] was given to Lu Mingjie, and he was upgraded from level one high-grade to level two mid-grade.

After this round of exchanges, he had lost another 500 karma points.

However, Lu Qing had spent more than 6300 karma on the rare exchange items [ gold virtue spirit body ] and [ spiritual peak Holy tower ].

Even so, he still had more than 2200 karma. He planned to keep this portion with him and not use it recklessly. He would use it as a reserve in case he needed it in the future.

If he were to get another option like the spiritual peak Holy tower, which was very impressive but required a large amount of karma to exchange for, it would be very useful to keep some karma with him.

“I’ve never spent so much before!”
