Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World
Chapter 65 The Spirit of Procreation: Taking and Giving Up
The wildly popular novel "Primordial Era: Transforming Qi into Form, Mastering the Pharmacology of the World," a heartfelt work by author Qian Wai You Qian, is available on Cola Novels.
The vast and mysterious energy, in every wisp and strand, is like a grand universe.
But now that Ling Dan has devoured a large amount of them, that would be terrifying.
Relying solely on his physical body, a single punch can unleash countless worlds—how terrifying!
The Xuanhuang Qi cascading from the Xuanhuang Pagoda flowed into Ling Dan's body like a long river.
Ling Dan refined his body in this way, and his avatar took shape in this way.
Nearly a thousand years later, the calamity cloud over the Houtu tribe dissipated, illuminating the Creation Elixir. The elixir shattered, and a Taoist priest emerged.
The Taoist priest resembled Ling Dan, sharing about 30% of her appearance, and was similar to the human race from her previous life.
The Taoist transformed into human form, sensing Ling Dan's physical breakthrough, and smiled: "This venerable one knows how to seize the opportunity."
"Then, Taoist priest, are you the incarnation of Lord Ling Dan?" Hou Yi asked.
"That's right... I am the embodiment of Ling Dan's true self's obsession. However, Great Witch Hou Yi, why do you call me 'Lord'?" The embodiment of obsession was also puzzled.
Hou Yi was somewhat embarrassed: "Now that the Ancestral Witch Houtu has married Lord Lingdan, according to their status and seniority, I should address her as 'Lord'."
"That being said, it still feels somewhat unnatural." The embodiment of obsession smiled as well.
"That's true. I watched Lord Ling Dan grow up and always called him brother. Now, in the blink of an eye, he's become an elder. But no matter what, Lord Ling Dan has been of great help to my Wu Clan, and I, Hou Yi, have no regrets about this title." Hou Yi said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, after the earth marriage system was perfected, the reproduction of the witch clan should have accelerated," the embodiment of obsession murmured.
"Haha...that's for sure. The population of our Wu Clan is multiplying faster than ever before. In the past, it took 100,000 years for gestation, 100,000 years for nurturing, and 100,000 years for birth. Now, it only takes 1,000 years for gestation, 1,000 years for nurturing, and 1,000 years for birth. In addition, the chance of pregnancy has reached as high as 70%. Now, the number of pure-blooded members of the Wu Clan has increased several times over."
Hou Yi was very excited.
Even the embodiment of obsession showed surprise: "The effect is so good, I really didn't expect it. Has there been any change in the reproduction of the human and witch races?"
"The changes are also significant. The reproduction rate of both the human and witch races has increased by more than tenfold. The reproduction rate among our own people has also accelerated. So overall, the problem of the witch race's population has been completely solved." Hou Yi laughed heartily.
Even the embodiment of obsession is filled with emotion, and clearly understands the importance of this matter.
In the past, among the witch clans, only the union of humans and witches resulted in relatively rapid reproduction. Unfortunately, the offspring were of poor quality and had low potential. Reproduction between witch clans was also very difficult.
Now that the practice of earth marriage is perfected and reproduction is extremely rapid, the Wu tribe is naturally happy.
After numerous conversations, the person embodying the obsession also learned of the changes that have occurred.
……
In the blink of an eye, another thousand years have passed.
Now, Ling Dan's Xuanhuang Body has completely broken through, achieving the peak of the eighth level of Xuanhuang.
The primordial energy spread, making Ling Dan's physical body terrifying beyond imagination. His punch was like the very heavens unleashed.
Houtu looked at Ling Dan's physical body and couldn't help but nod: "Such a physical body is indeed extraordinary."
Ling Dan smiled, sensing her own body: "With this kind of physical body, I'm almost able to catch up with my sister."
"Little Lingdan... is still far from catching up with her sister's physical body. Now, her sister's physical body has already reached the level of half-step Hunyuan." Houtu said with a smile.
"Half-step Hunyuan? Half-step Hunyuan under normal circumstances?" Ling Dan was taken aback upon hearing this.
"That's natural. Our marriage perfected the earth marriage system, and we've been intertwined for so many years. It has led to your breakthrough in cultivation and physical body. I, your sister, have also gained many benefits, causing a qualitative change in my own body." Houtu looked at Ling Dan with a smile, a special meaning emerging from her expression.
Ling Dan's feelings were also complicated.
For thousands of years, Ling Dan's physical body was no match for Hou Tu's, ultimately leaving him in a passive position. Now, however, he has finally made further progress in his physical body, enabling him to catch up with Hou Tu.
But who knew that Houtu's physical body would advance further, while he himself would fall behind.
What could Ling Dan say? She could only remain speechless.
Thinking about the future makes me feel really bad.
After a moment's hesitation, Ling Dan didn't think much of it and followed Houtu out of the main hall.
After walking out, I saw the embodiment of obsession, and Hou Yi.
Upon seeing Ling Dan and Hou Tu, Hou Yi immediately greeted them respectfully: "Greetings, Ancestral Witch Hou Tu, Lord Ling Dan..."
The sudden appearance of the adult made Ling Dan somewhat embarrassed.
We used to call each other brothers, but now we're all adults.
Ling Dan said with a bitter expression, "Brother Hou Yi... there's no need for such formalities."
"That won't do. Lord Ling Dan's status is different now, so..." Hou Yi said seriously.
Houtu smiled and said, "Alright, let's call him that. Hou Yi, how are the clan's descendants?"
With a simple, honest smile, Hou Yi recounted the current situation of the Wu tribe.
Ling Dan put away the manifestation of her obsession, knowing the conversation between him and Hou Yi, and the information she knew.
Upon learning this, Ling Dan couldn't help but marvel at the truly remarkable effects of the Earth Marriage method.
Houtu nodded in agreement: "I never imagined that the reproductive benefits of the Earth Marriage method would be so terrifying!"
"Yes, it's really terrifying. Over the years, our people have been in the nurturing stage, taking care of newborn members," Hou Yi said honestly.
Hou Yi then introduced the many changes and current situation of the Wu tribe.
Ling Dan was surprised to hear this: "Still staying in the Witch Clan? Haven't you gone back? Sister Houtu... let's go take a look."
Houtu nodded, a smile and a touch of shyness appearing in her eyes: "Okay, let's go take a look!"
Immediately afterwards, Ling Dan and Hou Tu headed to the core of Buzhou Mountain.
Now, Taiqing Laozi and the others are all here discussing the Dao.
After Ling Dan arrived, the people discussing the Dao all gazed at her with smiles.
There's always a hint of amusement in his slight smile.
Especially Tongtian Shishu, whose eyes held a hint of amusement.
Ling Dan approached, her expression respectful: "Disciple greets Master, Uncle-Master, and all the Ancestral Witches..."
"Haha... why call me Ancestral Witch? We should change our address." Zhu Rong couldn't help but laugh and said.
Gonggong agreed: "That's right... Houtu is our little sister, and now you are our brother-in-law, so naturally we should call you brother."
Upon hearing this, Ling Dan felt both confused and embarrassed.
What is all this about? Are we being forced to call him "Big Brother"?
Seeing this scene, Tongtian laughed loudly: "Zhurong... Lingdan calls you brother, so what do you call me? Also, shouldn't Houtu call me 'Shishu' (junior uncle)?"
"Tongtian...you're taking advantage of me..." Zhurong couldn't help but laugh and scold.
Their conversation also drew laughter.
Lao Tzu stroked his beard and said, "Let each of you discuss your own views."
"That's right... let's each follow our own system. Otherwise, this matter of seniority is really a bit awkward." Zhu Jiuyin smiled as well.
Hearing this, Ling Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, under the gazes of so many people, there was still some awkwardness.
After all, Ling Dan hadn't expected that after getting married, her family would be intertwined with Houtu for thousands of years, and breaking through would take a considerable amount of time.
But the wedding seems to have never ended; everyone is drinking and discussing things, showing no sign of it ending.
Furthermore, Ling Dan and Hou Tu sat down, their auras intertwined, revealing a fish-and-water relationship, and they both knew about it.
They knew it, and that was that; they didn't say much more to each other.
However, Zhu Rong was quite carefree and looked forward to it: "The improved land marriage system has accelerated the reproduction of the Wu tribe. I just wonder when Houtu will get pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Gonggong also chimed in, "Indeed, indeed... After the Heavenly Marriage system was perfected, it seems that Dijun and Xihe conceived the Golden Crow in just a few years. Fellow Daoist Nuwa... You created the Primordial Chaos with your own creation, look at those two, when will they be able to conceive their own creation?"
When asked this question, Ling Dan fell completely silent, genuinely at a loss for words.
What is all this about? Why are you asking these questions?
Houtu is the same now. After all, Houtu is a woman, and she can be shy.
Nuwa's avatar calmly said, "This matter is not difficult, and it depends on your choice. The Earth Marriage system is well-established, and the reproductive energy it condenses can enable Houtu to conceive offspring, as long as it is absorbed. However, the reproductive energy condensed by the Earth Marriage is limited. As the Wu Clan reproduces rapidly, this reproductive energy will be gradually consumed. Once the reproductive energy is exhausted, the Wu Clan's reproduction will return to normal."
"However, the stronger a witch clan member's cultivation, the more reproductive energy they consume to conceive a child. Therefore, for Houtu to conceive a child, at least 20% of her reproductive energy will be consumed. The more children she conceives, the more reproductive energy she will consume. The more energy she consumes, the less reproductive energy the entire clan can reproduce."
Speaking of which, the perfected Heavenly Marriage system, which created a fertility-enhancing aura, should have enveloped the entire demon race. However, in order to propagate the Golden Crow race, Di Jun consumed sixty percent of this fertility-enhancing aura, creating ten baby Golden Crows. The remaining four layers were scattered among the demon race.
"Fortunately, the demon race itself doesn't find reproduction too difficult. Therefore, the energy for reproduction is consumed little, and reproduction is fast. The witch race is different, so the choice is ultimately up to you."
Nuwa's words silenced Zhu Jiuyin and the others.
They never expected that reproduction would be subject to so many restrictions.
Ideally, a full measure of reproductive energy could increase the population of the entire race. However, if quality is prioritized, the quantity of offspring will be somewhat reduced.
Especially Ling Dan and Hou Tu, who truly desire to have a child. The energy required for reproduction will be immense, and it will also reduce the number of the Wu Clan.
