Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 99 First-Grade Spiritual Root Offspring! Three Major Rewards!

As the day of her due date drew closer, Qin Li could clearly sense that her husband, Lin Changyue, was somewhat 'nervous,' and he even spent less time practicing talisman drawing each day.

Qin Li herself, however, remained as peaceful as ever.

She did not slacken her cultivation just because she was pregnant and her belly was big.

She had already consumed and refined the 'Heavenly Fire Liquid' obtained from the Luan Bird Secret Realm. Under the nourishment of this rare and precious material, her foundation had almost fully recovered before she became pregnant.

In fact, she had always had a suspicion that no matter how hard her husband Lin Changyue tried, she was unable to get pregnant in the half year after their marriage. It was very likely that the effects of the Heavenly Fire Liquid had not been fully digested and her foundation had not been properly nourished.

After she had fully absorbed the effects of the Heavenly Fire Liquid, she became pregnant not long afterward.

With his foundation basically repaired, Qin Li had the motivation to cultivate and wanted to return to the late stage of Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.

Unlike a normal mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, she fell from the peak of Foundation Establishment. Now, her cultivation is almost the same as 'reincarnation and rebirth', and the speed will be extremely fast.

It is estimated that he can return to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in three years at most, and then spend another ten years or so to return to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

"Husband, you can spend more time cultivating, you don't need to accompany me."

Qin Li said considerately.

She thought Lin Changyue did this because he loved her too much.

After all, this wasn't her husband's first time being a father; he had dozens of children and even grandchildren.

Normally, one wouldn't become so cautious, nervous, and full of anticipation just because one's wife is pregnant and about to give birth.

You can only do this if you love someone to the core, right?
"It's alright, my cultivation won't be affected by a little bit of time."

Lin Changyue was somewhat uneasy. The thought that the child in Qin Li's belly should have at least a third-grade spiritual root, and theoretically there was a chance that it would be an earth spiritual root, made it difficult for Lin Changyue to calm down.

He has been struggling and searching for more than 20 years, and he is almost 50 years old!

It is truly remarkable that he has finally achieved such success.

It will happen within the next two or three days!

A child with a guaranteed top-grade spiritual root will receive a significant boost to their spiritual root, leading to greater rewards in future cultivation. Most importantly, it will also refresh the system's achievements!

New system achievements will result in new rewards.

Products produced by the system must be of high quality.

For example, the initial second-tier talismans, the later body-refining methods, the Seven-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Scripture, the True Treasure Soul-Guiding Bell, and so on.

Thinking about all this, Lin Changyue's mind inevitably became somewhat complicated.

Of course, if he wanted to force himself to calm down and cultivate, and eliminate distracting thoughts, he could do it.

They still have that much self-control.

But thinking that Qin Li was about to give birth and that having a child with good spiritual roots was more important than anything else, he decided to relax and clear his mind since a few days of cultivation wouldn't make a difference.

"Ah Li, have you thought about what our child's spiritual root aptitude will be like?" Lin Changyue asked.

"I haven't thought about it." Qin Li shook her head.

"Alright." Lin Changyue wasn't surprised.

This is also reasonable.

Qin Li was never one to be anxious or worry about gains and losses, nor did she overthink things. That's why she had a calm and detached personality, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs.

In this respect, he was completely different from his other wives.

Whether it's Su Yuejiao, who hopes her son will become a dragon, or Zhou Zirong, Zheng Weiwei, and others with ulterior motives, they were all quite anxious during their pregnancies. They hoped that their children would be born with spiritual roots, and even more so that they would stand out when their spiritual roots were tested at the age of three, with the highest possible score.

It can even cause insomnia.

Qin Li really wouldn't be anxious about this. Whether the child's spiritual root is high or low, she would treat them all the same.

After all, even after her Core Formation was disrupted and her future seemed hopeless, Qin Xianzi's mindset didn't change much; she didn't become angry or hateful because of it.

Her so-called revenge was also because she felt she had let her master down and felt she should do it.

"However," Qin Li suddenly changed the subject, saying calmly, "even if our child's spiritual root is low, it should still be a high-grade spiritual root, which is enough."

Lin Changyue: ...

Fairy Qin was indeed not anxious, but she was confident!
With a guaranteed top-grade spiritual root, if Lin Changyue's other wives also had this confidence, they probably wouldn't be so worried.

Not to mention people like Huang Ying'er and Ding Qingxue, who also had to worry about whether their children would be born with spiritual roots.

"A top-grade spiritual root is certainly enough. However, I still hope to have an earth spiritual root like Ah Li~"

Lin Changyue touched Qin Li's belly and said expectantly.

……

……

Two days later.

As the loud cry of a newborn baby rang out in the delivery room, a system notification sounded in Lin Changyue's mind.

[Congratulations, host, on unlocking a new achievement! You have given birth to your first offspring with a superior spiritual root!]

[Furthermore, the offspring possesses a first-grade spiritual root, thus receiving two major rewards.]

[Reward 1: Tier 3 Rune Crafting Skill]

[Reward 2: The body cultivation technique "Dragon Blood Bone Tempering Technique" is upgraded to level six.]

[Congratulations, host! Your spiritual root aptitude has been upgraded to grade three thanks to the feedback from your offspring's spiritual root.]

Looking at the series of prompts on the system panel, Lin Changyue's eyes widened, and his joy was almost bursting out!

The system is really generous!
System, impressive!
Because Qin Li's spiritual root level was too high, the quality of Lin Changyue's wife jumped several levels, so the spiritual root level of their offspring also jumped directly.

His spiritual root has been upgraded from the highest grade four to grade one!
Although it's just a leap from mid-grade to high-grade, there are several minor levels in between.

So the system was unusually generous this time. Although there was only one system achievement point, the reward was two at once!

Moreover, both rewards are very generous, enough to give Lin Changyue a significant boost!

Reward 1, the third-tier talisman-making skill, is self-evident. Lin Changyue can directly create third-tier talismans that are comparable to the attack power of a Core Formation cultivator!

With enough Tier 3 talisman-making materials, Lin Changyue could rival a Core Formation cultivator!
A third-tier talisman master is not only rare in the Xuanbing Hall, but also extremely rare in the entire cultivation world of the Yu Kingdom!
He is almost comparable to the True Lord of the Infant!

In the vast cultivation world of Yu Kingdom, there are only two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and the number of third-tier talisman masters is not much less, no more than five!
Just like his wife Su Yuejiao's master, Feng Lei Zhenren, who was a rogue cultivator with only the early stage of Core Formation, but was more famous than many late-stage Core Formation Zhenren because of his third-level talisman-making skills!

"However, once you reach the third-tier talisman master level, talisman skills are no longer divided into upper, middle, and lower grades; there is only a general concept."

Lin Changyue looked at the system panel and thought to himself.

Before reaching the third rank, talisman masters are divided into low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade.

Just like Lin Changyue now, his talisman skills are still at the second-tier low-grade level. Ye Zhuguang, whom he killed before, was a second-tier mid-grade talisman master.

However, once you reach the third tier, there becomes a fundamental difference in how skill levels are determined by a talisman master.

Lin Changyue also often shared the transmission jade slip of Feng Lei Zhenren with his wife Su Yuejiao. In the transmission of Feng Lei Zhenren, there is a general mention of the changes of the third-level talisman master.

"No rush. Once we receive the reward, we'll know all the secrets of a third-tier rune master."

Lin Changyue took a deep breath.

As for reward 2, upgrading the body cultivation method "Dragon Blood Bone Tempering Technique" to level six is ​​much simpler and easier to understand.

Once the reward is claimed, Lin Changyue's physical physique will be directly upgraded to the late Foundation Establishment stage!
In other words, relying solely on his powerful physical body, Lin Changyue's strength directly leaped two minor levels, allowing him to contend with late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!
In addition, Lin Changyue's spiritual root aptitude, which he had only recently broken through to, also improved again, reaching the third grade.

From then on, Lin Changyue was a 'genius' with a superior spiritual root!

"Whoo~"

Lin Changyue exhaled a heavy breath and stepped into the delivery room.

His wife, Qin Li, is the greatest contributor to his success!

It was a very wise and correct choice to risk his life to confront Liu Chengfeng head-on!

It's all worth it!

Not only is it worthwhile, but Lin Changyue will also do everything in his power to help Qin Li break through to the Core Formation Realm again, so that Fairy Qin's name can shine brightly in the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom once more!
Anyway, he's about to become a third-tier talisman master, and his status will be much higher than that of an ordinary Core Formation cultivator!
Obtaining a Core Formation treasure is not difficult.

"How about we name our son Lin Qingyan?" Lin Changyue said.

Yan means that water flows along river channels and converges into the sea, spreading and expanding!
This child brought Lin Changyue three major rewards, which is equivalent to opening a new chapter in his path of cultivation!
"Qingyan, yes, I think it's great."

Qin Li nodded. Then she frowned slightly, looking at the small, wrinkled creature in her arms, and said with some distress, "He's so ugly~"

Lin Changyue couldn't help but chuckle and said, "They all look like this when they're first born. They'll look better once they grow up."

"Really?" Qin Li asked uncertainly.

Lin Changyue laughed and said, "Don't worry. Our child, whether he inherits my looks or yours, will not be bad-looking."

This Fairy Qin doesn't care much about a child's spiritual talent, but she does care a lot about their appearance.

You're all about looks, right?

"That's good."

Qin Li nodded, gently stroking the baby's cheek with her fingers. Xiao Qinghuai whimpered twice, and she smiled, "It's quite interesting."

Lin Changyue shook his head.

Even wives like Su Yuejiao, who were quite ambitious, would automatically assume the role of mother after becoming pregnant and giving birth, resulting in a significant change in their mindset.

In comparison, Qin Li's change was minimal.

After spending an hour with Qin Li and the child fell asleep, Lin Changyue went to the cultivation room.

……

"Let's first see the cultivation speed of a third-grade spiritual root!"

Lin Changyue didn't rush to accept the two rewards. He first tried circulating his cultivation technique to see how much faster his superior spiritual root could absorb spiritual energy and convert it into mana compared to before.

Once it was put into operation, the surprises were quite significant.

Although there is only one minor level difference between a fourth-grade spiritual root and a third-grade spiritual root, the cultivation speed increases by nearly 20%!
Two percent may not seem like much, but if you extend the timeline, especially after reaching the Foundation Establishment level, the level advancement can take decades or even centuries!
Two percent can save you twenty years of arduous cultivation!
This is understandable, as sects at the Core Formation level use high-grade spiritual roots as the dividing line to determine whether a disciple is a promising talent.

If one possesses a third-grade spiritual root, it is worthwhile to invest effort in cultivating it, and there is a considerable chance of becoming a disciple of one of the elders.

But for those with a fourth-grade spiritual root, the chances are slim.

"With the cultivation speed of a third-grade spiritual root, plus the feedback from my children's daily cultivation, I can now officially rival a genius with an earth spiritual root! In six or seven years at most, I should be able to enter the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!"

Lin Changyue weighed the options in his mind.

More than two years have passed since he began his foundational work, and the total time has not exceeded ten years.

"very good!"

"Now let me see just how powerful a second-tier superior physique can be!"

With a thought, Lin Changyue claimed the system's second reward.

hum!
An unknown power flowed into Lin Changyue's body, like a spark thrown into an oil drum. A deep, beast-like roar immediately came from within him, and his skin turned bright red. Sweat and even bloodstains poured out from his body.

Without using any magic power, the spiritual energy in the cultivation room began to boil, and even the array used to shield against external disturbances began to tremble, as if it were about to malfunction.

The muscles and bones were trembling, the flesh and blood were boiling, and the skin and fur were transforming.

I don't know how much time passed, but the strange feeling finally receded like the tide.

It was as if an extremely ferocious monster was lurking in the cultivation room. The slightest movement could bring a suffocating sense of oppression to the early Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lin Changyue had a feeling that his physical body had reached a certain limit.

This level of excellence doesn't mean there's no point in further improvement.

Instead, if one wants to improve further, one will face the pressure from 'heaven and earth'!

In short, it has reached the limit where the world can ignore him.

If you continue to grow stronger, then heaven and earth may punish you!
That is, undergoing tribulation!
"The seventh level of the Dragon Blood Bone Tempering Technique is the Core Formation level. From Foundation Establishment to Core Formation, one will face a tribulation. It is said that in ancient times, orthodox body cultivators also needed to undergo a tribulation when they reached the third level."

Lin Changyue thought secretly in his heart.

As for why it is said to be ancient times.

That's because there are no longer any orthodox body cultivators in the cultivation world today.

Even if someone practices body-refining techniques, it's a 'castrated' version.

They basically won't cultivate to the third level or higher.

In the entire cultivation world of Yu Kingdom, it's probably impossible to find a single orthodox body cultivator above the third rank.

Even with auxiliary treasures like the 'True Condensation Pill', the success rate for Foundation Establishment cultivators to transcend tribulation and form a core is still extremely low.

Not to mention the already declining body cultivators, it would be even more difficult for them to undergo tribulation in this era!
"However, it is said that if a true body cultivator can successfully transcend the tribulation and enter the third rank, they will have the opportunity to awaken a talent-like divine ability similar to bloodline power, just like a demon beast, completely making up for their shortcomings, and even leaping over others."

"If one day in the future the system rewards you with a higher level of the Dragon Blood Bone Tempering Technique, will you not be able to break through directly, but will you need to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation first? But what if you can't overcome it?"

Lin Changyue vaguely sensed the constraints of heaven and earth, and thought to himself that he should be careful when accepting the body cultivation method as a reward from the system next time.

It would be ridiculous if, after receiving the reward, you were caught off guard and a heavenly tribulation struck, killing you instantly.
