Chapter 106: System Panel Opens! Draw Prizes!

Time flew by, and more than three months had passed.On this day, Lu Changsheng’s 59th child was born. This child possessed a Spirit Root. Not long ago, Shao Yuyao had given birth to a child who also possessed an eight-grade Spirit Root. At this moment, Lu Changsheng had a total of ten children with Spirit Roots. Meanwhile, two system prompts sounded. 【Congratulations, Host, on giving birth to ten children with Spirit Roots, earning a chance to draw prizes!】 【Your total number of children has reached fifty, and the number of Spirit Root children has reached ten, opening the system panel!】 S~ᴇaʀᴄh the NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality. “System panel?” Regarding the first system prompt, Lu Changsheng was not surprised. But upon seeing the second system prompt, he was somewhat astonished. He didn’t expect that, aside from receiving a random reward, he would also unlock a system panel. “A system panel? Shouldn’t it have been available from the start?” “Why is it only opened now, and I need preconditions to open it?”  Lu Changsheng wondered. But he didn’t dwell on it too much. Perhaps the author had forgotten to add it initially and only thought of it later. Lu Changsheng mentally whispered “system panel” and opened his own system panel. 【Name: Lu Changsheng】 【Identity: Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family Son-in-law】 【Cultivation: Qi Refining 7th Stage】 【Lifespan: 25/163】 【Talent: seventh-grade Spirit Root】 【Skills: Immortal Posture Technique, Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique】 【Spells: Fireball Technique, Wind Control Technique, Object Control Technique, Breath Control Technique, Spiritual Eye Technique, Transmission Technique…】 【Techniques: Talisman Crafting (Second Grade), Puppetry (Second Grade)】 【Spiritual Pets: Nine Netherworld Hound, Peach Blossom Gu】 【Items: Golden Light Brick Talisman, Peach Blossom Gu, Black Dragon Magic Bead, Demonic Curse of Fate…】 【Children: 59/66 (View Details)】 Instantly, a concise interface appeared. Lu Changsheng could see all his information at a glance. “My lifespan is only 160 years?” Lu Changsheng looked at his lifespan column. He had previously thought that, after taking the Longevity Pill, he would have a lifespan of 170 years. But it turned out he only had 160 years. “It seems I’m not a long-lived person after all.” Lu Changsheng didn’t pay much attention to his lifespan and looked at the bottom column of his children. With a slight mental movement, the interface changed. The avatars of his children, along with their names, floated before his eyes. Lu Ping’an, Lu Wuyu, Lu Wuyou, Lu Xile… Lu Xianzhi… Lu Quanzhen… Looking at his numerous children, he himself couldn’t recognize which one was which. Next, Lu Changsheng clicked on Lu Ping’an’s avatar to view his information. 【Name: Lu Ping’an】 【Lifespan: 6/81】 【Talent: None】 【Cultivation: None】 “Eighty-one years old?” Lu Changsheng looked at his son Lu Ping’an’s simple information. Only his lifespan caught his attention slightly. However, in the mortal world, living up to sixty or seventy years was considered long-lived. Eighty-one years was also considered long-lived. Moreover, Lu Ping’an would likely increase his lifespan if he practiced martial arts and paid attention to his health. Next, he viewed the attributes of a few other children. They were similar to Lu Ping’an, with slight variations in lifespan. Their talents and cultivation were all blank. Then, he clicked on his son Lu Xianzhi. 【Name: Lu Xianzhi】 【Lifespan: 6/79】 【Talent: ninth-grade Spirit Root】 【Cultivation: None】 “That means, with this system panel, I can not only clearly see my own information…” “I can also see my children’s lifespan, talents, and cultivation.” Lu Changsheng roughly understood the use of this system panel. It allowed him to not only see his own clear situation… He could also see the lifespan, innate talent, and actual strength of the children. After taking a brief look at the information panels of a few children, Lu Changsheng didn’t bother to look further. At this stage, the information panels of the children were all roughly the same. There wasn’t much to see. “System, draw a prize!” Lu Changsheng muttered to himself, preparing to draw a prize. A pale red virtual prize wheel appeared. “Start drawing!” Lu Changsheng looked at the prize wheel and said directly. He had drawn prizes many times before and had already obtained the desired cultivation method. So, Lu Changsheng was very calm about drawing lotteries now. After all, not having high expectations was the only way to avoid disappointment. The prize wheel spun rapidly, then gradually slowed down, and finally stopped at “Others”. 【Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Life-Substitute Talisman!】 【The reward has been sent to the system space, and the host can view it at any time.】 A Talisman  with intricate patterns emerged from the prize wheel, accompanied by a system prompt sound. “Life-Substitute Talisman? Talisman?” Lu Changsheng looked at the reward in front of him, raising an eyebrow. He didn’t expect the system to draw a single Talisman . This single Talisman  seemed a bit lacking in his opinion. It didn’t conform to the system’s principle of producing high-quality products. Lu Changsheng’s spirit stirred, and he looked at the golden Talisman  in the system space. The information on it appeared. 【Talisman: Life-Substitute Talisman】 【Rank: Fourth Rank】 【Description: This Talisman connects with the soul, has the effect of substituting for one’s life, and can teleport thousands of miles away.】 “Fourth Rank Talisman !?” Lu Changsheng was shocked when he saw the rank of the Life-Substitute Talisman. Just now, he thought it was a bit lacking to draw a single Talisman. But unexpectedly, it was a Fourth Rank Talisman. According to Lu Changsheng’s knowledge, even a second rank top-grade Talisman was already extremely rare in the cultivation world. A third rank Talisman  was a strategic-level resource that was almost impossible to find on the market. As for a Fourth Rank Talisman , he had never even heard of it. Or, to put it another way, it was questionable whether anyone in the entire Jiang Country could create a Fourth Rank Talisman . After all, Talisman masters who reached the second rank were already extremely rare. Even third rank Talisman masters were like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, extremely rare existences. They could even become honored guests in immortal sects like the Blue Cloud Sect. “However, this Life-Substitute Talisman looks powerful, with the effect of substituting for one’s life, but I’m not sure if I can use it.” Lu Changsheng looked at the Talisman, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. According to the description of the Life-Substitute Talisman, it was naturally extremely powerful. It could substitute for one’s life and teleport thousands of miles away. It was a rare and precious life-saving Talisman . But Talisman s weren’t like Talisman treasures or the Demonic Curse of Fate. Activating them required consuming one’s spiritual power and heart. With his current cultivation level, he could only use a second rank Talisman  at most. He was fundamentally unable to use a Fourth Rank Talisman . “However, this is a problem I had anticipated.” “My current cultivation level is too low, and the system’s prizes are too high-level.” “It’s like drawing magical treasures; if I didn’t have the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, I would only be able to eat dust.” Lu Changsheng let out a light sigh and didn’t think much about it. He extracted the ‘Life-Substitute Talisman’ from the system space. Immediately. A Talisman  woven with golden silk threads, with intricate patterns, appeared in Lu Changsheng’s hand. At the same time, the detailed information about the Talisman  entered Lu Changsheng’s mind. His eyes immediately lit up with excitement. Life-Substitute Talisman, a Fourth Rank top-grade Talisman . Using his own blood, he would connect with the Talisman , and then use the Talisman  to connect with his own soul. In the event of a fatal attack or death, the Life-Substitute Talisman would automatically activate, substituting for his life and teleporting him thousands of miles away. And this Talisman  only required advance use, connecting with his soul. It didn’t require consuming spiritual power to activate. In other words, even with his current Qi Refining period cultivation level, he could use it. “It’s indeed a good thing from the system, a Fourth Rank Talisman , it’s truly a good thing!” Lu Changsheng’s heart was filled with excitement. He had just thought that this fourth-grade Talisman was useless to him. “With this Life-Substitute Talisman, as long as I don’t encounter a Nascent Soul true lord, even if I face a Core Formation true person, I can still escape with my life!” Lu Changsheng was overjoyed in his heart. Although he had many methods now, his actual strength was still too low. Even if he encountered a Foundation Establishment great master, there was still danger. But now that he had this fourth-grade Talisman, a Life-Substitute Talisman, He had an additional guarantee. He could face Foundation Establishment great masters and Core Formation true persons and still escape with his life. As for Nascent Soul true lords, Lu Changsheng didn’t dare to say anything. Next, Lu Changsheng stroked and examined the Talisman in his hand, a three-inch wide, one-inch long golden Talisman. He wanted to see if he could find any clues from it. “Can it be said that this is a fourth-grade Talisman?” “I can’t even tell what material was used to make this Talisman paper, and the Talisman lines drawn on it are incomprehensible.” After looking at it for a while, Lu Changsheng murmured to himself. He thought about trying to use his second-grade Talisman technique to see if he could deduce something from this fourth-grade Talisman. He wanted to try drawing a similar protective Talisman. After all, many unique Talismans were discovered through research. He had obtained a second-grade Talisman technique, which included all the common basic Talismans. But it didn’t include those rare, unique Talisman legacies. However, after looking at it for a while, Lu Changsheng knew he was thinking too much. His second-grade Talisman technique was completely insufficient in front of this fourth-grade Talisman. It was like a primary school student trying to understand advanced math, completely impossible. Wanting to research something from it was too difficult. “A fourth-grade Talisman is still too profound; if it were a third-grade Talisman, maybe I could find something.” Lu Changsheng directly gave up on the idea of researching it. He tapped his forehead, and a drop of blood from his forehead and a drop of heart blood appeared, which he directly applied to the “Life-Substitute Talisman” in his hand. In an instant, the Life-Substitute Talisman absorbed the two drops of fresh blood and suddenly ignited without fire, transforming into a golden miniature figure that rushed into Lu Changsheng’s forehead. This gave Lu Changsheng a mysterious, thrilling sensation. However, this feeling quickly disappeared. “Is that it?” Lu Changsheng was stunned. He didn’t expect the usage of the fourth-grade Talisman to be so fast. He closed his eyes and looked inward, immediately seeing the golden miniature figure transformed from the Life-Substitute Talisman in his mind. This golden miniature figure was motionless, as if containing a vast, powerful energy, connected to his physical body and soul. It would protect him in times of mortal danger. “This Life-Substitute Talisman is indeed extraordinary, worthy of being a fourth-grade Talisman.” “It has completely surpassed my current understanding of Talismans.” Lu Changsheng looked at the Life-Substitute Talisman in his mind, feeling a sense of wonder. …… After completing a round of draws, Lu Changsheng thought that he had been back at Qingzhu Mountain for almost half a year. Previously, he had spent a lot on materials and pills for the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, and he needed to replenish them. Moreover, he had three children born in Jiulong Market, and he should go take a look. Immediately, Lu Changsheng said goodbye to his wives and concubines. He then rode his steel-feathered eagle out. Two days later, Lu Changsheng arrived at Jiulong Market. After purchasing a batch of materials and pills in the market, he also stayed in Jiulong Market for two days. During these two days, Lu Changsheng also visited the Talisman shop and chatted with Lu Miaoge. He also went to find Yu Maocheng and Gao He to catch up. Two days later, Lu Changsheng rode his steel-feathered eagle back to Qingzhu Mountain. As for the children, Lu Changsheng didn’t bring them. Mainly because it wouldn’t be convenient to ride the steel-feathered eagle with children. If something unexpected happened, it would be even more troublesome. So he temporarily left them in Jiulong Market, letting the servant girls take care of them. Not long after leaving the market, Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed a wave of battle fluctuations coming from the side. He saw three beams of light entangled with each other, constantly clashing. “Hmm? Xiaolong?” Lu Changsheng looked ahead, seeing a cultivator rapidly escaping on a dark cloud, wielding magical weapons. This cultivator was his neighbor, Xiaolong. “Brother Xiaolong, if you’re willing to hand over the opportunities in the Purple Mist Secret Realm, I can spare your life out of our past friendship.” An old man was wielding a magical hammer and attacking Xiaolong. Beside him was a young man. The young man held a stack of Talismans, constantly activating them, crazily bombarding Xiaolong, disrupting and restricting him. Lu Changsheng saw that the old man should be in the late stage of Qi Refining, while the young man was only in the middle stage of Qi Refining. However, under the two-person attack, Xiaolong was being beaten, his face pale, with wounds on his body, and could only defend himself, retreating towards Jiulong Market. “Should I rescue him or not?” Lu Changsheng saw this scene, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. Although he knew Xiaolong, their relationship was just ordinary. They didn’t have much interaction, just some occasional business dealings. “Daoist Lu, Xiaolong is being ambushed, please help!” At this time, Xiaolong, who was fleeing quickly, also saw Lu Changsheng. Like seeing a lifeline, he immediately shouted for help. “This Daoist, please don’t get involved in this matter!” The old man saw Xiaolong seeking help from Lu Changsheng, and immediately said in a low voice. “Oh? Today, I’ll get involved in this matter!” Lu Changsheng was originally hesitant, wondering if he should get involved. But seeing the old man, he suddenly decided to get involved. Because he recognized the old man, who was the owner of a small Talisman shop. When Lu Changsheng first came to Jiulong Market, he had been looking for a Talisman shop to buy Talismans. Among them, he had bought Talismans from the small shop twice, and the second time, the owner had left a mark on him. These things, Lu Changsheng remembered clearly. Now, in this situation, he could take action without any psychological burden. As soon as the words fell. Lu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, and the Qingyan Sword was unsheathed. It transformed into a cyan light and flew towards the young man in the middle stage of Qi Refining. “Be careful, son!” The old man saw the sudden attack and immediately shouted. He knew his grandson was in danger. He immediately took out a Talisman, activating it, and a blue-green light shield appeared, protecting the young man. “Thank you, Daoist Lu!” Xiaolong also saw Lu Changsheng’s action, and his expression changed from joy to seriousness. He stopped running away, and a green Talisman appeared in his hand, using it on himself to temporarily stop the bleeding, and then used a magical weapon to attack the old man in the late stage of Qi Refining. “Clang!” The Qingyan Sword struck the light shield around the young man, immediately making the shield’s spiritual light dim, and cracks appeared. However, at the same time, Lu Changsheng’s two Talismans flew out. High-grade Talismans, Lightning Inducing Talismans! “Boom! Boom!” The two Talismans released a purple lightning, transforming into two violent lightning bolts, striking the young man and the old man. Under the Lightning Inducing Talismans, the originally fragile blue-green light shield was immediately broken. However, in that instant, the young man’s clothes rustled, and a sound of thunder was heard. Another blue-green light shield suddenly appeared, covering his entire body, resisting the Lightning Inducing Talismans. “Good guy, looks like he’s quite wealthy.” Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect the young man to have two protective magical weapons on him. But thinking about it, it made sense, since the old man was the owner of a small Talisman shop. Even if it was just a small shop, its wealth was not something an ordinary cultivator could compare to. Lu Changsheng’s mind moved, and the Qingyan Sword’s sword aura continued to rise, releasing a fierce sword energy, attacking the young man again. The young man saw this and took out a parasol-shaped magical weapon, resisting the Qingyan Sword’s attack. His robe continued to rustle, releasing a blue-green light, resisting the Qingyan Sword’s remaining sword aura. “Ah, If I want to end this quickly, I still need to rely on Talisman warfare tactics.” Lu Changsheng saw this and knew that without exposing all his abilities, it wouldn’t be easy to end this quickly. He immediately took out over ten medium-grade Talismans and directly activated them. The Talismans instantly transformed into fire clouds, ice frost, and wind blades, crazily attacking the young man. “Grandpa, save me!” The young man was originally no match for Lu Changsheng. Seeing Lu Changsheng using Talismans like this, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted towards the old man. At the same time, he opened his parasol-shaped magical weapon, rotating it in front of him, releasing a faint light. He reluctantly took out a high-grade Talisman, activating it, and a golden light shield appeared around him, resisting Lu Changsheng’s Talisman attack. “Son, retreat!” The old man, who was fighting Xiaolong, saw this scene, and his face also changed. He knew that if they continued to fight, they would not be a match for Xiaolong and Lu Changsheng. He could only give up the spoils and signal his grandson to retreat quickly. “Want to leave? Too late!” Lu Changsheng saw the two trying to escape and drove the Qingyan Sword, simultaneously taking out two high-grade Talismans, urging them to kill the young man. After all, he had already taken action, how can he let them escape? If he let them escape, wouldn’t he be worried about being targeted in the future? High-grade Talisman—Lightning Inducing Talisman! High-grade Talisman—Binding Talisman! At the same time, a golden sword aura burst out from the tip of his finger. Seven Stars Sword Light! Facing Lu Changsheng’s flying sword attack and over a dozen medium-grade Talismans, the young man was already struggling to defend himself, relying on his Talisman magical weapons to barely hold on. At this moment, the Lightning Inducing Talisman and Binding Talisman struck, directly blasting away the young man’s shield magical weapon, shattering his light shield, and binding him in place. “Pfft! Pfft!” The Qingyan Sword and Seven Stars Sword Light, in the instant they broke through the light shield, beheaded the young man and pierced through his chest. “Ah!” The old man, who was about to escape, saw his grandson die, and his eyes turned red with rage, his gaze piercing. “I’ll fight you to the death!” The old man glared at Lu Changsheng, took out a gray, autumn-leaf-sized orb from his storage bag, and threw it at Lu Changsheng. At the same time, he activated several Talismans, using his magical weapons to attack Lu Changsheng. “Be careful, Daoist Lu, this orb contains a Yin Thunder Bead!” Xiaolong saw the gray orb and immediately shouted a warning. Lu Changsheng heard this and was shocked in his heart. This Yin Thunder Bead was similar to the Heavenly Thunder Bead, a one-time, extraordinary treasure. Although its power was not as great as the Heavenly Thunder Bead, it was comparable to a Foundation Establishment stage attack. Immediately, Lu Changsheng took out three Golden Light Shield Talismans and one extreme-grade Talisman, layering them on himself and the steel-feathered eagle, creating three layers of golden light shields. “Damn it!” The old man saw Lu Changsheng using Talismans and was not only angry but also extremely frustrated. He knew that even with the Yin Thunder Bead, he couldn’t kill Lu Changsheng. If he continued to fight, he would be the one to die. “Cough, cough! You killed my grandson, this vendetta will not be forgotten, and I will make you pay in blood!” The old man’s eyes were filled with hatred, and his voice was hoarse as he let out a loud roar. He then used his flying needle magical weapon to detonate the Yin Thunder Bead in the orb, attempting to escape. Boom! A terrifying, black lightning bolt exploded in the sky. A series of violent, crazy shockwaves spread out. “Rumble, rumble, rumble!” Under the terrifying shockwaves of the Yin Thunder Bead, Lu Changsheng’s Golden Light Shield Talismans were directly broken through two layers. Although he was unharmed, his steel-feathered eagle, under the crazy shockwaves, let out a frantic cry, flapping its wings wildly, causing Lu Changsheng to lose his balance. “This is what happens every time we fight!” Lu Changsheng saw the steel-feathered eagle’s state and frowned, knowing it was in a frightened state again. He immediately took out a flying magical weapon from his storage bag and jumped onto it from the steel-feathered eagle. He then looked at the escaping old man, intending to chase and kill him. “Cough, cough, cough!” At this time, Xiaolong, who was just affected by the Yin Thunder Bead’s explosion, was covered in blood, his breathing weak. His entire body was shaking in mid-air, on the verge of falling off the magical weapon. “Daoist Xia!” Lu Changsheng looked over. “I’m fine, Daoist Lu.” Xiaolong coughed twice, his voice weak as he waved his hand. Seeing this, Lu Changsheng nodded, using his flying magical weapon to perform the Seven Stars Sword Escape, transforming into a streak of light that shot out, chasing after the old man. Looking at the old man in front of him, Lu Changsheng no longer hid his cultivation. He fully unleashed the Qingyan Sword, making its sword body shine brightly, with a dragon’s roar, blocking the old man’s path. At the same time, two Talismans appeared in his hand. High-grade Talisman—Soul Shock Talisman! Top-grade Talisman—Lightning Flash Talisman! “Hmm?” Facing the fierce attack of the Qingyan Sword, the old man’s heart was shocked, and he used his magical weapon to defend. But immediately after. The sudden Soul Shock Talisman made him lose his mental clarity, his brain momentarily confused, and his body stumbled. However, he had a magical weapon that cleared his mind, allowing him to quickly regain his composure. But when he did, he saw a torrential, crazy lightning bolt, like a dragon, rolling towards him. “No!” The old man looked at the lightning bolt in front of him, unable to shout, and could only hastily activate his spiritual energy shield to protect himself. The next moment, the lightning bolt enveloped him. Then, the lightning disappeared. The old man had not yet died, but his entire body was charred, spitting out fresh blood, and was on the verge of collapse. “Pfft!” The Qingyan Sword flashed with a cold light, its sword aura surging, its fierce and overbearing dominance separating the old man’s corpse into two parts.
