Bai Qi closed his eyes and meditated, focusing intently on guiding the medicinal power within his body.

The power of the Vermilion Fruit was far greater than he had imagined, like a raging fire flowing wildly through his meridians.

He focused his mind and, following the methods in the "Demon Codex," gradually refined and absorbed this energy.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually turned a pale white.

Finally, a soft sound came from inside him, as if some shackles had been broken.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a look of surprise flashing in his beautiful fox-like eyes.

The foundation has been successfully laid.

"Congratulations."

Qingzhu's emerald eyes flickered slightly, her voice indifferent and cold.

He walked over to Bai Qi and handed him the wine jug. "Want some?"

Bai Qi smiled as he took the wine jug, tilted his head back and took a big gulp. The mellow wine slid down his throat, taking away his fatigue.

"Thank you."

He wiped his mouth, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Qingzhu. "If it weren't for your protection, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to establish my foundation so smoothly."

Because he had tricked Xuanming last year and done something foolish, he thought everyone hated him. Unexpectedly, Qingzhu would protect him.

Qingzhu shook her head, her emerald eyes appearing exceptionally clear in the morning light: "They're all on our side."

A simple sentence warmed Bai Qi's heart.

He tilted his head back and took another gulp of wine, then suddenly remembered something and asked seriously, "Qingzhu, I have something I want to ask you."

Qingzhu raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue.

Bai Qi carefully considered his words before slowly speaking: "When you were cultivating the Demon Codex, did you encounter any special feelings or bottlenecks?"

Upon hearing this, Qingzhu's eyes flickered slightly.

His cultivation of the Demon Codex went extremely smoothly; for him, cultivation was as simple as eating and drinking.

His cultivation level also increased rapidly. Not only did he cultivate the Demon Codex, but he also cultivated various spells and sword techniques at an extremely fast pace. He could understand anything he touched with just a click, as if it were completely effortless.

He pondered for a moment and answered truthfully, "I haven't encountered any bottlenecks."

At least not yet, and we don't know about the future.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi looked at him with disbelief through his fox-like eyes and couldn't help but ask again, "Not a single difficulty?"

Qingzhu shook her head: "No."

Bai Qi: "..."

He suddenly felt that the wine in his hand no longer tasted good.

I went through so much trouble to successfully build a foundation, but others broke through so easily?

This gap is too big.

He tilted his head back in frustration and gulped down a large mouthful of wine, only to choke and cough repeatedly, his androgynous handsome face turning crimson.

Qingzhu's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and she reached out to pat his back: "Drink slowly."

Bai Qi finally caught her breath and gave him a resentful look: "Qingzhu, are you deliberately trying to make me angry?"

Qingzhu looked completely innocent: "No."

Bai Qi: "..."

He was even more frustrated.

……

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Leopard Fu has successfully cultivated the Demon Codex, and all the power of the beastmen within him has been converted into cultivation. He is currently at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Su Xiyue was very happy and taught him several wood-type and fire-type spells, telling him to practice them diligently and to ask her again if he had any questions.

Although Feng Chi and Feng Li are getting on in years, they are fortunate to have single-element fire spirit roots, which means they have good aptitude.

Under Feng Su's guidance, he also stepped into the threshold of cultivation, and the beastman power in his body was also completely transformed into cultivation.

Currently, he is a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

However, the two were getting on in years, and their physical strength, energy, and physique could not compare with those of younger people. They often felt powerless and their cultivation progressed more slowly.

Future achievements are likely to be limited.

However, the two were already very happy to be able to cultivate immortality, and dared not ask for too much else.

Once you can establish your foundation, your lifespan will far exceed that of an orc.

During this period, Su Xiyue received a considerable amount of faith points.

Some came from the Upper Realm, and some from the Lower Realm. Combined with the original Faith Points, the total is 3850 points.

Although she wasn't exactly a rich woman, she had enough to splurge a little, and she happily planned how to spend it. "Master, open the Faith Points Shop, I want to shop."

The words had barely left her mind when she spoke them.

The system popped up instantly, giving a quiet reminder: "I suggest the host not to spend money recklessly. Have you forgotten the lesson of almost turning into a frog last time you went on credit?"

Su Xiyue's lips twitched slightly, and her expression was somewhat embarrassed.

She almost turned into a frog because of running up debts, but now that she has faith points, she can't resist anymore, can she?

I know this habit is bad, but sometimes I just can't help it.

I just want to buy, buy, buy.

She coughed lightly, "I'll just take a look, and if there's anything suitable, I'll make a move."

I don't know what this damn system is thinking. She's happiest when she's spending money, but it pretends to be doing her a favor by advising her not to waste it.

The system suddenly spoke in a serious tone: "Host, I suggest you buy some spiritual fruits to nourish your body, or use faith points to convert into cultivation points."

"Ok?"

She was taken aback. "I'm perfectly healthy."

The system's voice carried a hint of helplessness: "A female cultivator's cultivation level will drop during pregnancy. If you don't prepare in advance, are you going to wait until your cultivation level drops to the Qi Refining stage?"

Su Xiyue immediately realized what she meant. "What did you say? You said you're pregnant?"

She subconsciously touched her flat stomach and quickly activated her spiritual awareness to examine herself internally.

Sure enough, five faint auras were found near the dantian.

After counting, she actually breathed a sigh of relief. Five in one pregnancy sounds unbelievable, but compared to her previous two pregnancies, the number is already half of what it used to be.

She already has enough children, and to be honest, she really doesn't want to have any more.

However, considering that Qingzhu doesn't have children yet, it seems she can't avoid having one.

Thinking of Qingzhu, her eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Tongtong, can you tell who is the father of the child in my belly?"

Although she could use her divine sense to perceive, she could not detect whose bloodline it was.

The baby in her womb is still very small, in the early stages of pregnancy, so it's impossible to tell who the father is yet.

The system had anticipated her question and calmly replied, "Three are Qingzhu's, and two are Baiqi's. And here's another piece of information: Baiqi's two are sons. Now his dream of having children can come true."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiyue looked somewhat surprised: "Bai Qi wants a son? I really didn't realize that. He really likes Zhuohua and spoils him rotten."

The system replied quietly, "Host, don't forget, Bai Qi is the Beast King of Beast King City, and he needs an heir. He may not say it, but he's keeping it in mind."

She stroked her chin thoughtfully: "No wonder he's been staring at Mo Lin's eight sons lately..."

The system suddenly chuckled and interjected, switching to a sales pitch: "Host, 'Golden Fruit' is on sale right now! This is a top-grade spiritual fruit from the cultivation world, with an excellent taste, abundant spiritual energy, and it even helps prevent morning sickness. A basket is only 388 faith points, what a bargain!"

She rolled her eyes: "Didn't you just tell me not to waste money?"

"Isn't this a special case?"

The system declared confidently, "Furthermore, this system has detected that Qingzhu's three offspring are exceptionally gifted; they can absorb spiritual energy even in the womb. If the host doesn't replenish their energy, they might be drained dry!"

"Do you think I'm stupid and easy to fool?"

Su Xiyue didn't believe it at all. "When I was pregnant with my first child, I had already started cultivating immortality. How come my cultivation level didn't drop? You damn system, tell me the truth, are you trying to cheat me out of my faith points?"

The system immediately protested, "Host, I really didn't lie to you. Your cultivation didn't drop last time you were pregnant because your cultivation was too low at the time, and your spiritual energy was pitifully low. The babies had nothing to absorb, so it didn't affect you. But you are now at the Foundation Establishment stage, and Qingzhu and Baiqi are also at the Foundation Establishment stage. Of course, the situation is different."

After hearing the explanation, she touched her lower abdomen with some skepticism.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to be cautious: "Alright, let's buy a basket of golden fruit to try first. If it doesn't work, I'll complain about you."

The system responded cheerfully: "Alright! 388 Faith Points have been deducted, leaving 3462. The Golden Fruit has been added to your system inventory; you can access it at any time!"

With a thought, a golden fruit appeared in her hand, emitting an enticing aroma.

Too lazy to wash it, she just wiped it lightly and started eating.

The flesh is sweet and juicy, melting in your mouth. A warm current instantly flows through your limbs and bones, and even the faint breaths in your stomach seem to become more active.

“It tastes pretty good.”

She nodded in satisfaction, finding that the spirit fruit tasted significantly different from ordinary wild fruits; it was so much tastier.

The system said smugly, "Of course! Could anything recommended by this system be fake?"

Su Xiyue ignored it. After finishing the fruit, she spent another thousand faith points to raise her cultivation to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

My faith points dropped to 2462 in the blink of an eye, and I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

I remember last year when I was still in the Qi Refining stage, 200 Faith Points could raise my cultivation level by several levels.

Now that we've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it takes a thousand faith points to advance to the next minor realm—that's a huge difference.

She sighed and touched her lower abdomen again: "I hope these little ones won't give me too much trouble."
