The Immortal Clan was established starting with the entry on the Dao of the Gou.
Chapter 9 Mutation and Infection, Cultivation Methods
I quickly glanced at the panel.
Jiang Yun then focused her attention on the child.
There are still many things to take care of since the baby was just born.
We'll look into the entries and rewards in more detail later.
He turned his gaze to the frail Ling'er.
The huge weight that had been hanging over my heart finally lifted.
For the past two weeks, Jiang Yun has been living in constant fear and anxiety.
Because the probability of a difficult birth is highest for first-time mothers.
Fortunately, everything is safe and sound.
Ling'er lived up to expectations and gave birth to the eldest son of the Jiang family.
"Jiang Yun, what are you daydreaming about?" Meng Chunmei said, "Have you prepared pig bile? Don't forget to use pig bile mixed with warm water to bathe the child."
"Mother, the pig bile was prepared yesterday."
Ling'er answered weakly for Jiang Yun.
In Huaizhou, the people believed that babies should be bathed in warm water mixed with pig bile within two days of birth.
It can prevent many minor illnesses and ailments, and prevent sores and scabies.
It is a custom, a symbol of good fortune.
Jiang Yun had already prepared the pig bile yesterday.
I can give the child a bath tomorrow.
He looked at the baby in his arms.
The baby's skin was found to be sticky.
Grandma Cai simply used gauze to clean the amniotic fluid from the baby's mouth, as well as the dirt from the nasal cavity, ears, eyes, and other important parts.
He simply wiped himself with a towel.
I definitely need to take a shower.
Holding the baby, Jiang Yun sat by the bed, unsure of how to care for the child.
So he placed the child next to Ling'er.
Ling'er gently placed her hand on the child. "Husband, have you thought of a name for the child?"
"Not yet...."
Jiang Yun said with some difficulty.
He really hadn't decided on a name for the eldest son of the Jiang family.
Because there will definitely be many descendants in the future.
This is beyond doubt.
If the entire clan cultivates immortality, their descendants will number in the millions.
Jiang Yun was afraid to mention the name of a certain descendant, as he didn't know which generation that descendant belonged to.
So he was wondering if he should use generational names to make it easier to distinguish between people.
It was precisely because of this struggle that we hadn't decided on a name for our child.
"Don't rush into a name. As long as he grows up safely, who cares what he's called!"
Meng Chunmei was all smiles, clearly adoring her newborn grandson.
"Alright, let me think about it first."
Jiang Yun nodded.
Then he stood up and looked at Grandma Cai with gratitude.
"Thank you, Mother-in-law."
Grandma Cai quickly waved her hand, "It's my duty, no need for thanks."
After saying that, she began to pack her things.
The baby has been successfully delivered, and there's nothing more for her to do after that.
Today is the Lantern Festival, let's go home early to celebrate.
I saw Grandma Cai packing her things.
Jiang Yun left the bedroom and went to the kitchen to get some brown sugar and eggs.
These brown sugar and eggs were considered an extra gift for Granny Cai, amounting to about 30 coins.
Then Jiang Yun took out the eight large coins that he had prepared beforehand.
This is the delivery fee for Grandma Cai.
In the village, Grandma Cai charges five qian for each childbirth.
The other three coins were the agreed-upon compensation for lost wages.
After all, Jiang Yun doted on Ling'er and her unborn child, so he invited Granny Cai to stay at his house in advance.
When Granny Cai was about to leave, she went to Jiang Yun to settle her wages.
Jiang Yun then gave her the eight coins, brown sugar, and eggs he had in his hand.
"Mother-in-law, thank you for your help these past few days."
Grandma Cai accepted the wages and gifts, and congratulated her, saying, "Not at all, your family is blessed with endless good fortune to have a child on the Lantern Festival."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but nod to himself.
I thought to myself that what Granny Cai said was really right.
After the child was born, a new entry was given: "Living Blessed Star".
This entry is believed to bring good fortune, ward off evil, and bring blessings to one's descendants.
How could they not be blessed?
"I'll take you there."
Jiang Yun smiled broadly as she saw Grandma Cai off at the door.
Outside the door, six or seven neighbors stood together.
Upon seeing Jiang Yun and Granny Cai come out, they all offered their congratulations.
Congratulations!
"Today is the Lantern Festival, a double celebration!"
"Absolutely! Absolutely!"
The neighbors, wanting to celebrate, congratulated Jiang Yun on the birth of her son.
Someone asked Grandma Cai whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl.
"Grandma Cai, is it a boy or a girl?"
Grandma Cai smiled and said, "It's a boy, a boy! Can't you tell from his crying?"
"How could we possibly tell? Only you could!"
Jiang Yun saw this scene.
He had no choice but to return home and take out some eggs to share with his neighbors.
People have come to send their blessings.
Today is such a happy day.
Jiang Yun couldn't remain silent either.
Besides, when he and Ling'er got married, the neighbors did give some gifts.
I should send some eggs or something as a token of my gratitude today.
The neighbors left satisfied, carrying their eggs.
Only Fang Yu remained.
"Brother-in-law!" Fang Yu exclaimed excitedly, "Congratulations, brother-in-law! Can I go in and take a look now?"
He couldn't wait to see his nephew.
"Go."
Jiang Yun handed Fang Yu two eggs.
Everyone gets a share.
The brother-in-law was no exception.
"Okay!"
Fang Yu went inside to see his nephew.
in the afternoon.
Meng Chunmei stayed behind and made some sesame dumplings for Jiang Yun and Ling'er.
Today is the Lantern Festival, a day for family reunions.
Jiang Yun and Ling'er even gave birth to a grandson for her, which made Meng Chunmei very happy.
After making the glutinous rice balls, Meng Chunmei spent time alone with Ling'er and shared her experience in caring for babies.
After all, Ling'er is only eighteen years old this year.
"I understand, Mother."
Ling'er leaned against the bed, nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
Beside her, the tiny baby slept soundly.
In the kitchen.
Jiang Yun was preparing a reunion dinner for the Lantern Festival, while Fang Yu was helping him tend the fire.
"Brother-in-law, did you go to the city to see the Lantern Festival?" Fang Yu suddenly asked.
"I heard the lantern festival is very lively, brightly lit, and wealthy young ladies will go out today to look for their ideal husbands."
I went to see it once when I was a child.
Jiang Yun was lost in memories.
His father took him there.
We set off in the afternoon, walking more than 40 miles to Yongning County.
Because they didn't have enough money to stay in a guesthouse in the city.
After watching the lantern festival, they would carry lanterns and walk home at night before the city gates closed.
My legs are so tired they feel like they're about to break.
Since then, Jiang Yun has never gone to the city to see any Lantern Festival.
"I haven't been there yet," Fang Yu asked. "Is it fun?"
"It's more fun if you have money."
Jiang Yun said something profound.
"I have no money..."
Fang Yu looked miserable.
"By the way," Jiang Yun asked, "who told you that during the Lantern Festival, rich young ladies would go out looking for their ideal husbands?"
"Fang Yongcai told me," Fang Yu replied.
"Oh." Jiang Yun nodded, reminding him, "Don't hang out with those rich young masters too much."
Fang Yongcai's family was a prominent family in Qingshan Village.
Although not as wealthy as the landlords, they were still considered a well-off family.
This is far beyond what a tenant farmer's family like Jiang Yun's could compare to.
It is said that Fang Yongcai was only sixteen years old when he went to the city to visit brothels. His father found out and gave him a severe beating.
"Hmm." Fang Yu nodded and sighed, "Why do you think Fang Yongcai's family is so rich? He can even go to a private school. I'm so envious."
"Envy is useless. Your mother works so hard, just do what you're supposed to do and stop thinking about these things."
Jiang Yun sighed softly to herself, feeling inexplicably sad.
He seemed to see his own reflection in Fang Yu.
Because my family was poor, I had to work in the fields to help my parents from a young age.
Attending a private school to study and learn to read was simply a pipe dream.
If it weren't for his memories of his past life, Jiang Yun would be an illiterate man who couldn't read a single character.
"Call your mother for dinner."
Jiang Yun prepared the meal.
It was almost dark by then.
Today is the Lantern Festival.
In addition, Jiang Yun and Ling'er were blessed with a son.
This meal was particularly festive.
night.
Jiang Yun went back to her room to sleep.
After he lay down in bed, he realized something was wrong.
After having children.
The bed, which was only big enough for him and Ling'er, was no longer big enough for him.
If we squeeze in, I'm afraid I might roll over and crush the baby at night.
"This little one is quite difficult to take care of," Jiang Yun said to Ling'er. "I'll sleep in another room tonight, and we'll get a bigger bed tomorrow."
Jiang Yun's family had a total of two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a woodshed.
The house is small, and can only accommodate a maximum of four people.
If there are five people, the woodshed will also need to be vacated.
Jiang Yun felt once again that the tenant farmers were truly poor.
If there is no opportunity.
It's likely that three generations will be impoverished.
"Husband, it's alright," Ling'er whispered. "I'll put the baby inside and protect him; he won't get crushed."
"Fine," Jiang Yun lay down. "Then let's squeeze in."
It was late at night.
The moon is fullest on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, not the fifteenth.
Jiang Yun lay on the bed and checked the control panel.
Name: Jiang Yun
Age: 21
[Talent: Celestial Bones (A rare find, the appearance of an immortal)]
[Spiritual Roots: Five Elements Spiritual Roots]
[Entry: The Perennial Sixth, A Lucky Star in Life]
[Achievement: 50/150]
"Five elemental roots? So I didn't even have any spiritual roots before?"
"They've already given out rewards like immortal bones, why are they being so stingy this time, only giving out a five-elemental spiritual root?"
"Is there some kind of explanation?"
Jiang Yun couldn't help but mutter to herself.
As far as he knew, the cultivation speed of the Five Elements Spiritual Root was extremely slow.
A certain senior surnamed Han still only has four pseudo-spiritual roots.
Moreover, his spiritual root needs a reward.
Jiang Yun then realized that he didn't even have a spiritual root!
Ironically, he had been hoping to obtain a chance to become an immortal, embark on a journey of cultivation, and attain the path to immortality.
"It's alright, I have immortal bones and cultivation entries."
"Five elements spiritual root it is!"
"At least I can learn any kind of cultivation technique and practice spells of any attribute!"
Jiang Yun became excited.
Having spiritual roots is better than not having them.
Furthermore, there are immortal bones and entries.
We can't ask for too much.
"Besides the guaranteed attribute, last time the reward was immortal bones, this time the reward is spiritual roots."
"Will the next reward be a cultivation technique?"
Jiang Yun made a bold guess.
They possess both immortal bones and spiritual roots.
If I'm not mistaken, the next reward should be a method for cultivating immortality.
After all, this is a family-based cultivation system.
It would be a real shame not to reward them with a cultivation method.
He is the future patriarch of the Jiang family.
If our ancestors didn't have any methods for cultivating immortality, what's the point of their descendants cultivating immortality?
After all, it is extremely difficult to obtain a chance to cultivate immortality on one's own.
"Hmm? I need to reach 150 achievements to unlock the next reward?"
"Oh well, there are countless achievements anyway, so achievement points are easy to get."
In the quiet of the night.
After checking the panel, Jiang Yun went to sleep contentedly.
The next day, he spent some money to order a large bed from the village carpenter.
Then I started thinking about naming my child.
"Virtue is passed down through generations, and poetry and books ensure its lasting legacy..."
Jiang Yun racked his brains, trying to recall the generational names of the Jiang family in his previous life.
It took me several days to finally remember.
"Ling'er, I've thought of a name for our child!" Jiang Yun said to Ling'er, "Our son will be named Jiang Dexian."
"Jiang Dexian?" Ling'er pondered, "Does my husband hope our child can become an immortal?"
"It's the 'virtue' in 'morality'." Jiang Yun nodded. "But you're right, our son will definitely become an immortal."
"I will do whatever my husband says." Ling'er held the baby and said with her head down, "Son, you have a name now, it's Jiang Dexian."
Jiang Dexian seemed to understand.
He grabbed at things haphazardly with his little hands, his eyes blinking rapidly.
Jiang Yun smiled knowingly.
The person who chose this name clearly put a lot of thought into it.
He placed high hopes on this eldest son of the Jiang family.
time flies.
Spring in March.
The busy farming season has begun again.
The tenant farmers all took up hoes and helped the landlord cultivate the land.
Now Jiang Yun has another son to raise.
It's impossible to give up farming and cultivating the land.
Spring passes and autumn comes.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Dexian is already over two years old.
This year was the thirtieth year of Jinghe.
Early April.
Ling'er is pregnant again.
It was still Dr. Fang Bingchu who took the pulse.
Inform Jiang Yun that this is a sign of pregnancy.
Just like last time, Ling'er became pregnant, and Jiang Yun gained achievement points.
[Congratulations, host, your wife is pregnant again!]
Complete the advanced achievement "Having Children".
[Gain 40 achievement points]
Name: Jiang Yun
Age: 23
[Talent: Immortal Bones]
[Spiritual Roots: Five Elements Spiritual Roots]
[Entry: The Perennial Sixth, A Lucky Star in Life]
[Achievement: 90/150]
"My lord, I'm pregnant again."
Ling'er is pregnant again.
This time, I wasn't as nervous or excited as the first time.
"Good news, good news."
Jiang Yun smiled happily, wishing that Ling'er would give birth to ten at once!
"De Xian, you have younger siblings now."
He took Jiang Dexian's hand and left Fang Bingchu's clinic.
Then we went to the market and bought two pounds of pork to celebrate Ling'er's second pregnancy.
However, this time I also bought pig ears and pig trotters for Jiang Dexian to eat.
"Little sister, little sister!"
On her way home, Jiang Dexian danced with joy.
He seems to want a younger sister.
at night.
Jiang Yunling and her husband were having a bedtime chat.
"Ling'er, how much silver do we have left?"
In the past two years, Jiang Yun has been farming and gathering firewood.
The money they earned was only enough for their family of three to live comfortably.
He insisted on improving the meals for Ling'er and Jiang Dexian.
Therefore, the annual expenses are much higher than those for just making ends meet.
"There are still twelve taels of silver left."
Ling'er answered quickly.
"Twelve taels..."
Jiang Yun sighed inwardly.
After two years, he hadn't saved up much silver at all.
If not a tenant farmer.
That way you can save up some money.
Unfortunately, all the silver was taken by the landlord.
Days passed by like this.
Nine months later.
Winter of the thirty-first year of Jinghe.
Hai hour (9-11 PM).
Ling'er is about to give birth.
Grandma Cai was the one who delivered the baby again.
all the best.
The baby was a girl.
