After everyone was reborn, I was strictly disciplined.

As the Earth Vein Fire Marrow merged into Xie Xingran's body, the gale, deafening roar, and pervasive heat waves that had been stirred up by the Earth Vein Fire Marrow's outburst all vanished without a trace.

The excruciating pain that had been raging through my body vanished in an instant, replaced by a feeling as if I had been gently placed in a hot spring, the warmth flowing slowly through my limbs and bones, caressing every inch of the meridians that had been tormented by the pain.

Xie Xingran's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. "It's over...the system?"

His tone carried a hint of uncertainty, but more so a sense of relief at surviving the ordeal.

"It's... over..."

The system's voice was no longer as clear and powerful as before; instead, it became intermittent and weak.

It exhausted all its energy in the process of reshaping Xie Xingran's bones and fusing with the earth vein fire marrow. The core program was running extremely difficult, the light was dim, and the energy fluctuations were so weak that they were almost imperceptible.

The cultivators inside and outside the holy land stopped their fleeing steps and looked around blankly. The pure fire spiritual energy remaining in the air made them vaguely realize that the riot had ended, but they did not know what had happened.

Inside the room, Liu Xuan quickly stepped forward and carefully took the child back into his arms as Xie Xingran slowly landed.

His movements were gentle, his gaze fixed on the red lotus quietly blooming between his grandson's brows, his eyes filled with a complex and unfathomable expression.

There was an overwhelming sense of joy mixed with deep concern.

Surprisingly, his grandson possessed a rare, one-in-a-million innate physique, a top-tier genius in the alchemy world. Regardless of the grade of the pills he refined, he could perfectly control the heat and the fusion of medicinal power, achieving 100% success without ever making a mistake.

Throughout the history of the Cangxuan Continent, every cultivator with a naturally formed alchemical physique has been a renowned alchemy master.

As long as Xie Xingran can grow up safely and not perish along the way, he will surely reach the pinnacle of the alchemy world in the future, and may even surpass the founder of the Fire Marrow Pill Holy Land, pushing the glory of the Holy Land to new heights.

Now, the grandson is not only born with a celestial body, but also a celestial body, and has been recognized as a master by the earth vein fire marrow, which is a rare occurrence in tens of thousands of years. The two complement each other, and his future potential is simply immeasurable.

But beneath this joy, worries also lingered.

The phenomena caused by the sudden eruption of the earth's fiery marrow were too astonishing. Crimson pillars of fire shot straight into the sky, and nine-colored rays of light swept across thousands of miles. With such a huge commotion, it is likely that all the powerful forces in the entire Cangxuan Continent have noticed it.

The Cangxuan Continent is already in turmoil. The demon race is stirring up trouble on the borders, frequently provoking human cultivators. Major sects and aristocratic families are openly and covertly fighting for resources and territory, and a storm is brewing.

The grandson possesses three great opportunities: a naturally formed elixir body, a naturally formed spiritual body, and the earth vein fire marrow. It's like carrying a treasure in the dark; it will inevitably attract countless greedy eyes.

Those who will stop at nothing for profit will never let go of such an opportunity to seize.

The thought of the danger his grandson might face made Liu Xuan's heart clench, and he felt as if the burden on his shoulders was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Earth Vein Fire Essence... has it recognized its master?"

He Anyao recovered her senses and quickly walked to Liu Xuan's side. Her eyes were fixed on the red lotus between Xie Xingran's eyebrows, and her voice trembled slightly, filled with disbelief.

Although she was not as proficient in alchemy and the identification of spiritual objects as Liu Xuan, she was aware of the prestige of the Earth Vein Fire Marrow and naturally understood what kind of heaven-defying opportunity it meant for such a treasure to recognize its master.

"yes."

Liu Xuan nodded gently, his tone full of emotion. He looked down at his grandson, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, and spoke softly.

"The Earth Vein Fire Marrow has slumbered beneath the sacred land for tens of thousands of years. Throughout history, countless cultivators of profound skill have gone to great lengths to subdue it."

"Even refining just a wisp of fire spirit power can bring immense benefits. However, this earth vein fire marrow is violent and highly intelligent. Anyone who tries to forcibly subdue it will ultimately be burned by the fire spirit and perish both in body and soul."

He paused, then his eyes lit up with surprise again: "No one expected that such an unparalleled opportunity, which even top cultivators couldn't obtain, would be so easily acquired by our grandson."

"Perhaps this is the will of Heaven."

As soon as Liu Xuan finished speaking, a gentle figure walked over slowly; it was Xie's mother.

After walking to Liu Xuan's side, she carefully reached out and gently stroked the child's delicate and smooth cheek. The warm touch from her fingertips filled her heart with warmth.

This is her grandson.

So well-behaved and beautiful.

She naturally sensed the emotion and underlying worry in Liu Xuan's words, turned to look at him, and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, in-law, this child is the apple of our eyes."

"With the two major forces of my Thousand Machines Pavilion and the Fire Marrow Pill Holy Land guarding us, one openly and one secretly protecting each other, our little darling will surely grow up safely and smoothly."

Xie's voice was gentle yet powerful. Qianji Pavilion was famous in the Cangxuan Continent for its mechanical arts, and half of the magical artifacts in the Cangxuan Continent came from Qianji Pavilion.

Although the Thousand Machines Pavilion does not often participate in disputes, its powerful strength and mysterious methods are enough to make any petty person wary.

The Fire Marrow Pill Holy Land is a leader in the alchemy world, with connections throughout various sects and families. The combination of the two is indeed a force that can awe all.

Upon hearing these words, Liu Xuan's tense nerves relaxed slightly, the worry in his eyes faded a bit, and he nodded gently.

Just then, a soft halo appeared in the sky outside the window.

The auspicious nine-colored clouds that had been hanging over the Fire Marrow Pill Holy Land for so long seemed to have completed their mission and began to slowly dissipate.

The vibrant colors faded little by little, like smoke drifting in a gentle breeze, gradually merging into the sky.

Finally, only a single, purest strand of seven-colored light remained, carrying a faint auspicious aura, passing precisely through the eaves of the courtyard.

As if it possessed intelligence, it floated straight toward the bed in the room and landed on Liu Qingwan, who was fast asleep.

The moment the seven-colored light threads touched Liu Qingwan's body, they transformed into specks of light and merged into her body.

The next moment, Liu Qingwan's aura, which had been so weak from exhausting her spiritual energy during childbirth that it was almost gone, began to fill up at a visible speed.

Her pale cheeks gradually flushed with a healthy blush, her breathing changed from weak and rapid to steady and long, and a faint aura of spiritual energy even lingered around her. Her entire demeanor instantly transformed.

Xie Jinghan, who was standing guard by the bedside, noticed the change immediately. He stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock and elation, and subconsciously exclaimed, "What... what happened? Qingwan, she..."

He reached out, wanting to touch his wife, but fearing to disturb her, his hand froze in mid-air. He turned to look at the serene fairy beside him, eagerly seeking an answer.

Seeing this, Fairy Qingyou explained calmly, "Young Master Xie, don't panic. This is the innate power of self-replenishment that comes with a naturally born spiritual body."

"Your son not only possesses a naturally formed elixir body, but also has been recognized as a master by the earth's fiery marrow, making him a rare naturally formed spiritual body."

"This type of physique is naturally in harmony with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After birth, it will spontaneously return pure spiritual energy to the mother who nurtured it, helping her to quickly recover her blood and cultivation, and even make up for the damage to her foundation caused during childbirth."

"That wisp of auspicious cloud just now was a gift from heaven and earth to the innate spirit, which ultimately transformed into a force of nourishment and was given to Miss Liu."

"I see, thank you for clearing up my doubts, Fairy Qingyou."

After hearing the explanation, Xie Jinghan's tightly furrowed brows completely relaxed. He turned to look at Liu Qingwan, whose breathing was steady on the bed, and then at the child in Liu Xuan's arms. The initial aloofness in his eyes faded, replaced by a hint of warmth that was hard to detect.

It turns out that this little guy isn't just a troublemaker; he can actually protect Qingwan, so he's not so "useless" after all.

The serene fairy nodded slightly, her expression still gentle and calm. She walked slowly to the bedside, carefully examined Liu Qingwan for a moment, and confirmed that Liu Qingwan's breathing had stabilized. She said softly, "Miss Liu is fine now. She just needs to rest quietly for a few days and she will recover completely."

After saying that, she didn't linger any longer. She walked lightly out of the room, closing the door behind her, leaving this warm and cozy space intact for the family.

The atmosphere in the room completely relaxed. Liu Xuan looked down at his grandson in his arms, then looked up at Xie Jingci, who had a gentle expression, and gently handed the child forward, saying softly, "Come on, Jinghan, you're his father, hold the baby."

Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "You and Qingwan had previously discussed and decided on a name for the child?"

"Xingran".

Xie Jinghan answered in a deep voice, his tone steady yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible solemnity.

"Star" symbolizes brilliance and extraordinary talent, expressing the hope that his future will be as dazzling as the stars. "Ran" signifies peace and smoothness, embodying Xie Jinghan and Liu Qingwan's most important expectations for their child.

He took a step forward, carefully stretched out his arms, and took the child from Liu Xuan's hands.

His hands, which were usually steady and unwavering as he wielded his sword to slay demons, were now trembling slightly.

The baby in his arms was so delicate and fragile, its soft little body nestled in his arms like a feather that would break at the slightest touch. For a moment, he didn't know how to apply any force, afraid that he might hurt the little one if he wasn't careful.

He looked down and met a pair of big, dark eyes.

Her eyes were as clear as the purest spring water in the mountains, without a trace of impurity, staring at him intently, while her little mouth occasionally blew out glistening bubbles, making her look utterly adorable.

Xie Jinghan's heart was instantly filled with this softness, and a warm feeling spread from the bottom of his heart, dispelling all fatigue and anxiety.

This is his and Qingwan's child, the fruit of their love. So small and so tender, it requires his lifelong care to ensure its safe growth.

He couldn't help but wonder to himself: What will this child look like in the future? Will he have sharp eyebrows and bright eyes like him, or will he be as gentle and pretty as Qingwan?

Is your personality lively and active, or quiet and calm?
