Changsheng: I, Cao, can see the prompt

Chapter 153
Although there are only five descendants of Cao Wei at the moment, among them, Cao Lin, the eldest son of Niu Yuhan, has the three spiritual roots of wood, fire and earth, and Cao Meng, the eldest daughter left by his concubine Lin Yaner, has the dual spiritual roots of water and wood. Cao Jun, the eldest son of the concubine, has no spiritual root qualifications.

As for Qiutang and Dongmei's son and daughter born in the early spring of this year, the former has four spiritual roots, while the latter has no spiritual roots.These two concubines are also from the Niu family, one is Niu Yuhan's cousin and the other is a cousin.

That is to say, with only three sons and two daughters, the Cao family has added three juniors with spiritual root qualifications. It would be a lie for Lu Zai to say that he is not tempted.

Since he married a wife and had children around the age of 20, he has successively accepted many concubines in the following thirty years.

Some of these people are concubine daughters or maidservants given by some aristocratic families who have taken refuge in the Lu family in the secular world, some are beauties he met outside who won his temporary favor, and some are the girls from his wife's natal family. There are all kinds of people. about.

As for how many people there were, Lu Zai couldn't remember clearly.

Of course, the monk's memory wouldn't be so bad, but he really doesn't care about this kind of thing.

After all, in the backyard of the mansion, there are newcomers replacing old ones every year, as long as there are beauties around me to wait on me when I need it, that's fine.

It's just that in these years, he and his wives and concubines have given birth to nearly a hundred children, but there are only six children with spiritual roots, and only one of them has three spiritual roots.

Originally, it would be okay to have an heir of the Three Spirit Roots, after all, there is also the possibility of advancing to the foundation.

However, Lu Zai was at the juncture of breaking through the foundation building at that time, and retreated for four or five years. At that time, the child was still young, only five or six years old.

But time passed by, and when he left the customs, the child had grown up completely under the doting of the woman, and he liked to play with the maids in the small courtyard all day long, and when he went outside, he was submissive and had a timid temperament.

Seeing this, Lu Zai gave his wife a cold look, but didn't say much.After all, the other party's father was also an elderly mid-stage foundation-building monk in the Zongmen Formation Hall.

And this child is not a legitimate son, and his biological mother is not from the family of his wife and natal family.

Although his regular wife didn't dare to plot against her, she didn't discipline her on weekdays, letting her biological mother dote on her, and secretly added fuel to the flames a little.

Naturally, Lu Zai could see this hidden feeling, but he sighed that there was a hard-to-recite sutra in his family.

Now that these children with spiritual roots have no value in nurturing, and the probability of encountering the Cao family's descendants with spiritual roots is so high, he is naturally a little moved.

Upon hearing Cao Wei's refusal, Lu Zai hooked his shoulders immediately, and said rascally: "Brother Cao, being a brother is not a joke, do you think I look good?"

"Brother Lu, let's not get so close, my brother is not good at this." Cao Wei struggled.

"Who do you take Brother Wei as? Lu Zai glared at him.

Then he smiled and said: "My daughters and granddaughters all follow me in appearance. When I go back, I will send ten or eight to them. I don't ask too much for my brother. If the children they give birth have more than three spiritual roots Two, I only need one to be adopted into my Lu family tree. Of course, it is best to be a man, if not, a daughter is also fine."

Right now, he has as many as 30 to [-] daughters and granddaughters who are of the right age, and many of them are beautiful, who are most suitable for marriage.

"Brother Lu, how dare I attack my niece and grandniece? Who do you think I am?" Cao Wei said with a righteous face.

"Who are you, do you want me to tell you? A while ago, my siblings were so angry that you said you brought those beautiful women back. It was nothing, but you even brought back your mother-in-law. That's fine, grandson." Thief, you had a good time. At that time, Uncle Niu was at the side, so I was too embarrassed to speak for you." Lu Zai laughed softly.

Hearing this, Cao Wei frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you in my house?"

"Where are you thinking, sister Yuhan, but our husband and wife have grown up watching her grow up, and when my daughter is in pain. When senior Kui Lie brought the three of the Lin family back, sister Yuhan happened to be at my house, with The mistresses of the Fang family and the Ning family had a small gathering in the garden. When the servants came to inform, sister Yuhan turned pale in front of everyone and hurried back. My wife saw that something was wrong, and immediately sent me out of the house. The cave man called out, but luckily I went early, otherwise your three concubines would have disappeared." Lu Zai said.

"Yuhan has always been gentle, isn't it?" Cao Wei said with a bit of disbelief.

"If you only bring a few concubines back, it doesn't matter. As long as she is still the daughter of your double spiritual root, Yuhan thought it was you who wanted to divorce her wife. But when her anger subsides, she will understand. , your three concubines and the concubine have already been arranged. But Brother Wei still thinks that you should go back, this woman will coax you, and all your anger will disappear after one night." Lu Zai sighed.

"It seems that I really have to go back."

Cao Wei didn't expect these twists and turns to happen.

"After you go back, stop by my mansion and let my sister-in-law show you my daughters and granddaughters. You can choose as you please. If you think they are all good, it would be even better if you accept them all. This jade slip Leave it to your sister-in-law, she will naturally understand."

As Lu Zai spoke, he took out a blank jade slip from the storage bag, left some words of confession in it with his spiritual consciousness, and handed it over.

"Brother Lu, do you really think that my little brother is the kind of hungry person? This rabbit doesn't even eat the grass by the side of the nest. This is no exception." Cao Wei said in a deep voice, as for the jade slip that accidentally fell into his sleeve .

"Okay, let's not take it as an example. You remember, Honghedan." Lu Zai said in a low voice.

"How much?" Cao Wei asked.

"The more of this kind of thing is naturally the better, but I think you don't have many dragon's breath spirit grass, and other panaceas such as Hehesan and Golden Spear Pill can also make do with it. I don't pick this kind of thing very much, it depends on you Arrange it yourself." Lu Zai said.

He had actually heard of this kind of spiritual herb.

After all, there is a big dragon monster in the sect, and it also grows near his cave.

It's just that these spirit herbs are all in high demand, and are most sought after by those late-stage foundation-establishment monks who are old and have no hope of forming alchemy. How can he, a middle-stage foundation-establishment monk, snatch them.

Of course, some of them were secretly picked by Kui Lie.

As Lu Zai and Cao Wei walked, they talked with their spiritual thoughts, and soon they arrived in front of a palace in the city.

After the formation, there were more than a dozen black-armored soldiers on each side, holding long daggers, standing solemnly in front of the five or six-foot-high gate, standing upright as if rooted.

This place is Qingxia Sect's residence in Fangyuan City, it can also be said to be the inner city, casual cultivators are not allowed to enter unless they are invited.

Most of the sect's disciples lived here, and of course some lived in small courtyards elsewhere in the city.

The two took out the identity jade tokens of the inner disciples, and a misty aura emanated from them, turning into a circular shield covering themselves from head to toe, and then walked into the formation without any hindrance.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Cao Wei realized that these soldiers were nothing but puppets, but the aura exuded from them, all of them were foundation-building cultivation bases.

The two walked between these puppet soldiers and stepped into the inner city.

Cao Wei immediately took out the communication talisman and asked where Kui Ao was.

After the other party responded to the message, the two walked towards the left.

After walking for about a hundred feet, Lu Zai said, "These guys are made by my array hall and the implement hall together, and one of them has the engraving on the implement inside. How do you feel?"

"It's really extraordinary, but I just don't know what the cost is. If it's too high, it won't be of much value." Cao Wei said casually.

"Nowadays, the cost of a puppet in the early stage of foundation building is about [-] high-grade spirit stones, in the middle stage it is a thousand, and in the later stage it is a bit higher, as much as [-]." When Lu Zai said the latter, he sighed. .

Hearing this, Cao Wei was a little puzzled, and asked: "Even the cost of three hundred spirit stones is really high. With these spirit stones, it is enough to cultivate new foundation-building monks. But it stands to reason that the early and late stage The cost, shouldn’t be such a big difference, right?”

The late-stage second-order iron mad shark he and Kui Ao hunted before can only sell seven or eight hundred high-grade spirit stones if it breaks through the sky.

"Do you think that my array hall and the tool hall don't want to keep the cost down? Nowadays, most of the raw materials needed by the puppets can be supplied by the sect itself, but the soul silk and spirit core needed by the master, because we don't have this kind of spiritual core. The mines and pricing are all controlled by other forces. Over the past 300 years, the Zongmen has tried tens of thousands of materials one after another, but still can’t find a corresponding substitute.” Lu Zai said helplessly .

"Is it the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Western Desert? From the classics of the Cangjing Pavilion, I saw that this sect is very good at refining puppets." Cao Wei asked.

"There are two large ore veins under the command of Tianmomen, and there is also a small ore vein in the Lingyan Sect in the Northland. However, a few years ago, the sect found some traces of this mine in Youyun Daze, just in the Qingyou River Over there, it’s only thousands of miles away. The palace master and two real people from Yunzhou must have come here for this mine.” Lu Zai said.

Cao Wei has some understanding of the reason why Fang You and Yunzhou Master come here, but it is difficult to explain clearly.

He could only nod his head following the other party's words, and responded: "It should be for this reason, when the two real people kill the three big monsters of Purple Poison Toad, Chi Yan Beast, and Cracking Wind Eagle that are entrenched nearby, We Foundation Establishment cultivators will be able to move forward."

"It's not that simple. The two real people have been here for two months, and the situation seems to be still at a stalemate. After all, the Cracking Wind Eagle is one of the three late-stage monsters under the command of Youyun Yaojun. Not to mention his tyrannical cultivation, his attainment in the wind escape method is also extremely high, even the palace master can't catch up with him. If he pursues him deeply, other big monsters in Youyun Daze will definitely come to help him. Among them, life and death are hard to say." Lu Zai sighed.

"I know it's a tricky guy just by hearing it." Cao Wei said slowly.

"Anyway, we can't get involved in the battle between real people and big monsters, unless the other party can step into the big formation we set up. But this kind of thing is really too difficult." Lu Zai didn't have any hope for this.

These big monsters are extremely vigilant, once they find something wrong, they will not take half a step forward, and turn around and leave without saying a word.

"There are always chances. There is no rush for this kind of thing." Cao Wei said.

At present, among the sect's monks who can rival the Split Wind Eagle, apart from Master Fang You, there is Kui Lie, the Kui Ox.

It's just that both of them can be regarded as physical training, and they are not very good at escape methods, let alone the extremely fast escape methods of the wind system.

As for the head of Na Mingyou and the other hall masters, or some real people who are semi-retired or traveling abroad, they are either in the early or middle stage of Jindan, and there is still a gap between them and the later stage.

But at present, Xiaguang Zhenjun, in terms of the long lifespan of 2000 years as a monk of Nascent Soul, he is at the peak of spring and autumn, and he has enough time to wait or train younger generations to take over the sect.

But Cao Wei didn't want to talk too much about the Golden Core cultivator, and asked instead: "The Golden Core Stage is a puppet of the Nascent Soul Stage, but do you still need that kind of soul silk core?"

"Puppets at the golden core stage need more precious soul threads and spirit marrow. This thing is listed as a forbidden item whether it is the Tianmo Sect or the Lingyan Sect, and it will not be sold outside. As for the puppets at the Nascent Soul level, as far as I know, the Tianmo There is one in the sect, and it is said that it has been placed in the blessed land of the sect all year round, and the most recent dispatch was when the new sect master of the Tianmo sect stood up." Lu Zai laughed.

"Oh, but that time when the Tianmo Sect murdered many Jindan masters in Haoran Academy? Could it be that the old sect master gave the new sect master even the Nascent Soul Puppet, which is the treasure of the sect?" Cao Wei asked curiously.

"I heard that's the case." Lu Zai nodded and said.

"It's really bold, but that old sect master is too risky." Cao Wei sighed.

This kind of decisiveness to cut off one's own arm is really unimaginable.

Of course, if the new sect master really loses his mind and insists on returning to the Haoran Academy, the old sect master of the Tianmo Sect should also have a high degree of confidence in being able to regain the Nascent Soul puppet.

It's just that there will inevitably be unnecessary variables.

Lu Zai and Cao Wei chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they came to a courtyard in the inner city.

As soon as he walked in, he just heard Kui Ao's screams in the courtyard, and an extremely heroic laughter.

Hearing this voice, Lu Zai's face changed, and he mouthed to Cao Wei, and said silently: "Hall Master!"

"That brat of yours is here, why don't you get out of here quickly? There's also Morality, come here too." Master Fang You said loudly.

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and became polite.

"Brother Cao, please."

"Brother Lu, please go first."

"Come in soon, is it possible that this old man needs to go out to meet you two?" Master Fang You urged.

"I dare not." Cao Wei and Lu Zai responded in unison, and then walked quickly into the courtyard together.

As soon as he entered, he just walked not far, and saw the seven or eight feet long iron mad shark standing on the open space in the courtyard.

They saw Kui Ao guarding tightly in front of the corpse, refusing to let go, and the two saw a big man with a bronze complexion and old and new scars all over his body sharpening his knife, looking at the corpse from time to time. shark fin.

This person is about Zhang Xu tall, and his figure is extremely burly. Among them, the bulging muscles on his back are even faintly condensed into the word "De", and he is a reasonable person at a glance.

And in the stone pavilion not far away, Master Yunzhou was pouring himself a drink, watching with great interest.

When he saw Cao Wei, he frowned, then raised his wine glass, and said in a calm tone: "So it's you, I've known you for a long time, come here and let the old man have a look."
