Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 115 Third Generation Offspring, New Rewards
Five months later.

Lin Qingzhi successfully gave birth to a baby boy.

After confirmation by the midwife, the baby boy is highly likely to have a spiritual root. However, the exact quality of his spiritual root is still unknown and can only be detected when he is three years old and his spiritual root has fully developed.

As the controller of Seven Star Island, Lin Changyue did not wait outside the delivery room; it was Lin Qingzhi's mother, Huang Ying'er, who took care of him on his behalf.

but.

Lin Changyue learned of the news immediately.

Furthermore, he accurately determined the spiritual root aptitude of his first grandson.

Seventh-grade spiritual root.

That's a pretty good result.

Because Lin Qingzhi only has a ninth-grade spiritual root, while her husband has a seventh-grade spiritual root.

The couple's child was chosen based on 'the best'.

Lin Changyue knew all this so clearly because he had received a notification from the system.

The system eventually included the daughter's offspring as well.

[Congratulations, host, on unlocking a new achievement! The first third-generation offspring with spiritual roots has been born!]

[This third-generation descendant possesses a seventh-grade spiritual root, and is awarded the seventh level of the "Seven-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture"!]

Upon hearing the system notification, Lin Changyue immediately chose to claim the reward.

Half an hour later.

Lin Changyue felt the slowly rotating glazed pagoda in his sea of ​​consciousness. The original two colors had been replaced by a faint third color, which meant that his soul strength had finally broken through the Foundation Establishment limit and reached the Core Formation True Person level!

Before this, Lin Changyue's soul strength was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The reason why it had such an impressive track record and was able to easily suppress a genius like Xiao Wanqiu was simply because the Seven-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture was too powerful.

Even souls at the same level can unleash vastly different levels of power.

Now, Lin Changyue's soul strength has truly reached the early stage of True Core. With the power of his cultivation technique, Lin Changyue can say that he doesn't need to be afraid of a True Person in the middle stage of Core Formation at the soul level!

"Is this the power of the Core Formation stage?"

Lin Changyue felt his soul was stronger than ever before, and couldn't help but feel a sense of 'flying to heaven'!
Although his spiritual root level did not improve, for some reason, his perception of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth became clearer, and he even began to feel a little 'kindness' to heaven and earth, and was able to 'communicate' with it!
This is an experience you would never have at the Foundation Establishment level.

In this way, when a Core Formation cultivator uses the same spells or even controls the same magical artifacts, the power they unleash will be much greater than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Because a True Immortal who has reached the Core Formation stage has a more accurate grasp of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they can draw upon even a trace of the power of heaven and earth.

"No wonder in the cultivation world, only Core Formation cultivators can be considered true high-level cultivators."

"There is a huge gap between the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation realms!"

"Moreover, I have only reached the Core Formation stage in terms of spiritual power, and my cultivation in terms of magical power is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. If my magical power breaks through in the future and my life essence completes a leap, my affinity with heaven and earth will only become stronger, and I will be able to draw on more of the power of heaven and earth!"

Lin Changyue was filled with emotion.

It's no wonder that the most outstanding geniuses in the Foundation Establishment Realm, such as his wife Qin Li, Lu Wangji of the Qingming Sword Sect, and Wei Tianque who died unexpectedly in the Luan Bird Secret Realm, all have remarkable past achievements, comparable to or even surpassing those of Pseudo-Core Formation Realm cultivators.

But no one has ever had a record that can rival that of a Core Formation cultivator!
Even at the early stage of Core Formation, there has never been one.

It seems that although a False Core Formation True Person is also called a True Person, there is a fundamental difference between them and a Foundation Establishment True Person. However, because they failed to form their Core, the True Core in their body can only be considered a semi-finished product. Therefore, they most likely do not possess the many supernatural abilities of a true Core Formation True Person.

for example.

Only true cultivators can refine their own natal magic treasures, while false cultivators do not possess this ability.

It should be that refining a natal magic weapon also requires the help of the power of heaven and earth.

"Now that my soul has reached the True Core level, is it... possible to refine a natal magic weapon?"

Lin Changyue couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

Perhaps, it's worth a try!

To refine a natal magic weapon, in addition to reaching the Core Formation stage of cultivation, one must also have a magic weapon embryo.

A second-tier magic weapon does not meet the requirements for refining a natal magic treasure.

Coincidentally, Lin Changyue happened to have a magical artifact embryo in his possession.

It was a spear-type magic weapon embryo that he obtained after killing Ye Zhuguang.

Ye Zhuguang's identity and origins are mysterious. He is very likely an inner disciple of the Nine Heavens Thunder Control Hall, a Nascent Soul sect. For some unknown reason, he is hiding in Liaoyuan Immortal City, secretly plotting to seize the treasure left behind by True Person Fenglei.

This person has extremely high aspirations. Although he is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he has already been planning and paving the way for Core Formation.

Therefore, he not only possessed the embryo of a magical treasure, but also a large portion of various precious medicines for refining the 'Condensing True Essence Pill'.

Of course, all of this ultimately benefited Lin Changyue.

"Buzz!"

With a thought from Lin Changyue, a spear embryo that was not yet fully refined appeared in the training room and was placed horizontally in front of Lin Changyue.

Even without activating it or infusing it with any magical power, the embryonic form of this magical treasure still exuded an astonishing sharpness.

Although it is unknown who Ye Zhuguang asked to help create this magical artifact embryo, according to Lin Changyue and Qin Li's personal inspection and testing, the quality of this magical artifact embryo is extremely good.

This spear is not as versatile as Qin Li's magical artifact embryo, the 'Wind and Fire Diagram'. The 'Wind and Fire Diagram' is a combination of offense and defense, and also has the property of group attacks, while the spear is a purely offensive magical artifact.

However, its destructive power and single-target attack capability are much stronger than the Wind and Fire Diagram.

Its future growth potential is also high enough.

After all, Ye Zhuguang was also planning to refine his own natal magic weapon in the future.

This shows that the materials used to forge this spear were of good quality.

"It seems like things have become easier to control."

When Lin Changyue's magic power and divine soul covered the embryonic magic weapon together, he immediately felt that controlling it became much easier.

He had tried using this magic weapon embryo when he broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but the effect was not good. He could not really mobilize its power, and the effect was not as good as when he used a second-grade high-quality magic weapon.

This is probably why Ye Zhuguang didn't use this magical artifact embryo during his fight with Lin Changyue.

Under normal circumstances, only cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage can barely unleash 80-90% of the power of a magic weapon embryo.

It's generally not possible in the later stages of foundation building.

If you are in the mid-to-early stages of Foundation Building, forcing its use will only have the opposite effect.

"Let's go and show off our skills on the surface of Lake Damengze!"

Unable to fully utilize his skills in the training room, Lin Changyue immediately got up and flew towards the vast waters outside the market.

The Great Dream Marsh stretches for hundreds of miles, with an endless expanse of water. Lin Changyue found a secluded spot and used his Core Formation level divine soul to borrow the power of heaven and earth to create a spear-shaped magical artifact.

shhhhhh!
The spear suddenly burst forth with light hundreds of feet long, and at the same time, it moved nimbly in the air like a swimming dragon. A casual thrust could cause the space to tremble slightly and stir up huge waves.

After using his skills for half an incense stick's time, Lin Changyue finally put away his spear magic weapon with satisfaction.

He had completely mastered this long spear, and it was now able to unleash its true destructive power!
"It's slightly stronger than Xiao Wanqiu's sword attacks!"

"It has exceeded the limits of the Foundation Establishment Realm and can threaten a Pseudo-Core Formation Realm cultivator!" Lin Changyue was very satisfied.

If magic power is insufficient, divine soul can make up for it.

In terms of conventional methods, he is no less capable than top geniuses like Lu Wangji.

As for unconventional methods, there are even more, such as a powerful physique, the Seven-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture, and numerous third-tier talismans...

"However, I still can't refine my own natal magic weapon."

Lin Changyue thought with some regret.

After completely mastering the embryonic form of this magic weapon, Lin Changyue naturally understood many principles. For example, to refine a natal magic weapon, not only does one need to be in harmony with the magic weapon through their soul and mind, but also the magic power of a Core Formation Realm cultivator is an indispensable factor.

Because the divine soul can only control and mobilize magical treasures, but nurturing magical treasures requires one's own magical power.

Lin Changyue is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and his magical power is of 'too poor' quality, which is far from meeting the conditions for nurturing his natal magic weapon.

"Very well. This spear-shaped magical artifact is powerful, but compared to that, I prefer something like Ah Li's 'Wind and Fire Diagram,' which combines offense and defense."

"In the future, perhaps we can find better magic weapon embryos to refine our natal magic weapon."

Lin Changyue put away his spear.

Before he reaches the Core Formation stage, this spear can be used as his regular means of combat.

……

Back in Qixing Island Market, Lin Changyue made a special trip to see his daughter, Lin Qingzhi, who had just given birth.

He presented his first "grandson" with a rather valuable gift.

The others weren't surprised, since Lin Changyue's reputation for liking younger generations was well-known. When Lin Qingzhi's brother, Lin Duofu, had a baby, even though he didn't have spiritual roots and it was in a mortal place, it was quite troublesome to go there. Lin Changyue personally made the trip.

Lin Qingzhi was not surprised, but her newly joined husband in the Lin family was somewhat flattered.

Lin Qingzhi's husband held his father-in-law, who was renowned and rumored to possess combat strength comparable to a fake Core Formation cultivator, in awe, yet also felt a touch of fear.

Since their marriage, he has only met Lin Changyue twice.

On one hand, there's the day of our wedding; on the other hand, there's this time.

Although his wife, Lin Qingzhi, kept telling him that Lin Changyue was a kind and easy-going elder who would never look down on someone from a poor background, he still tried to avoid meeting Lin Changyue.

Although he was born into a rogue cultivator and married into the Lin family, it does not mean that he is an opportunist who only wants to climb the social ladder.

On the contrary, he's quite Zen-like.

"Have you chosen a name yet?" Lin Changyue asked the couple.

Lin Qingzhi, holding the child, nodded with a smile: "Zhaoming and I have thought of several names, but we are worried about which one to use. We would like to ask Father to help us decide."

Then, Lin Qingzhi named several names.

Lin Changyue thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him Lin Yuanyu."

Zhu Zhaoming married into the Lin family, so his children would naturally take the surname Lin, in order to ensure that they were of one mind with their clan.

This child has spiritual roots, so we must name him according to the Lin family's generational order.

The path of immortality is evergreen and its traditions are passed down through generations.

Lin Qingzhi and her family's children belong to the "Yuan" generation.

……

When Lin Changyue left the young couple's residence, his wife Huang Ying'er went back with him.

Taking care of her grandson is something she doesn't need to worry about.

"Before we knew it, Qingzhi became a mother too. Time really flies."

Huang Ying'er followed Lin Changyue down the street, watching the cultivators coming and going, and felt a lot of emotions.

She was just an ordinary person. Although she married Lin Changyue willingly, she was forced to come to the Lin family.

When she entered the Lin family, she had prepared for all sorts of worst-case scenarios, such as becoming a maid or even a concubine, and not surviving for more than a few years.

Who would have thought she would have such a happy life?
She was many times more noble than the queens of ordinary kingdoms.

Not only did her husband treat her extremely well, but she also successfully gave birth to a child with spiritual roots, eliminating any worries about the future.

Now even his grandson possesses spiritual roots.

She was just eighteen when she married Lin Changyue, in the prime of her youth, and is now over forty.

Although Lin Changyue had given her the Youth Preservation Pill more than a decade ago, she has now inevitably begun to show signs of fatigue.

The elixir of youth does not guarantee eternal youth.

It can only greatly slow down the aging process.

Now that she's over forty, crow's feet have inevitably started to appear at the corners of her eyes.

After all, she has no spiritual root and cannot cultivate, so her lifespan is much shorter than that of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

Thanks to the effects of the anti-aging pill, these crow's feet are not very noticeable yet, and they still look relatively young. But in another ten years or so, they will probably show signs of aging.

"Ying'er, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Lin Changyue was chatting with Huang Ying'er when he realized that his "first wife" was getting distracted.

Huang Ying'er came to her senses and shook her head, saying, "I have nothing on my mind. It's just... I suddenly feel a bit wistful."

"You miss Duofu, huh..." Lin Changyue thought for a moment and said, "It has been several years since I last saw Duofu. How about this, in a few days, I'll accompany you to see Duofu."

Lin Duofu's fiefdom is not far from the Lin family's territory, but it is quite far from the Seven Star Island market.

Even using a top-quality flying boat, a round trip would still take a lot of effort.

So since moving to Qixing Island Market, Huang Ying'er has never been to her son Lin Duofu's place again.

“No need, no need. It will take at least two months to see Duofu.” Huang Ying’er quickly shook her head and said, “It’s not an important matter. My husband is so busy, how can you delay for so long because of me? If I want to go, I can just go with any clansman who is going the same way.”

Lin Changyue thought this made sense and said, "How about this? A batch of resources will be sent back to the family next month. I'll have someone escort you, Ying'er, to see Duofu. You can stay as long as you like. When you want to come back, I'll send you back to Seven Star Island."

"Thank you, husband."

Huang Ying'er smiled broadly.

But the sorrow in my heart only grew heavier.

Her husband treats her as well as he always has, which is wonderful.

However, the better her husband treats her and her sisters, the more she worries about the future as she gets older.

Their husbands are Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they have a great chance of becoming Core Formation True Immortals in the future. At that time, they will live for hundreds of years. They cannot grow old with their husbands.

"Even a thousand-mile-long sunshade can't guarantee that all good things will come to an end..."

"Perhaps it's time to consider the future."
