Chapter 9 Giving birth
Since the day the Internal Affairs Hall assigned the marriage, the outer spiritual fields of the Qingmu Su family have continued to operate as usual.
However, in the courtyards of those collateral relatives, there were more ordinary women and a touch more of the mundane world.
After Su Yu and Song Qingwan got married, their lives were routine, uneventful and regular.
Song Qingwan has a gentle personality and is extremely dutiful in her actions.
She was well aware of her mortal status and held Su Yu in awe. She managed the household affairs in the courtyard meticulously and never inquired about any of Su Yu's family matters.
As for Su Yu, besides patrolling the spirit fields during the day to earn a stable monthly salary of eight spirit stones, he also went to the array nodes at night to absorb unclaimed spiritual energy.
The remaining energy was naturally devoted to procreation.
Although the probability of a cultivator and a mortal having offspring with spiritual roots is higher than that of an ordinary person, it is still not an easy thing.
Many collateral descendants were filled with resentment and bitterness because their path to immortality was forcibly cut off by their families.
In their eyes, the ordinary wives assigned by the family are not considered true partners, but merely tools to vent their pent-up frustrations and anger.
They partied every night, indulging in unrestrained venting.
Not only did it delay his cultivation, but it also depleted his own vital energy, yet his wife remained unprepared for a long time.
But Su Yu is different.
In his previous life, he was the Prince of Zhennan of the Great Xia Dynasty. He was a womanizer throughout his life, with many female confidantes all over the country.
He had already mastered the secret arts of sexual intercourse between men and women, reaching a state of perfection.
He doesn't need to indulge in sexual gratification like others.
Every time they had sex, he was able to guide the union of yin and yang with extremely skillful techniques.
Not only will it not damage one's own cultivation foundation, but it will also be able to nurture Song Qingwan's mortal body at the most suitable time, pushing the possibility of conception to the highest level.
In the late autumn of their first year of marriage, their eldest son was born.
Su Yu named him Su Cheng, meaning to carry on the family line.
According to family tradition, newborn children must be taken to the Inner Affairs Hall for a bloodline test on the day they are one month old.
As expected, the spirit-testing pearl showed no reaction, indicating that the eldest son, Su Cheng, had no spiritual root and was merely a mortal.
Upon learning the result, Song Qingwan's eyes reddened, and she knelt before Su Yu, filled with remorse, begging for forgiveness, fearing that her husband would be angered and banish her to the cold palace.
However, in lower-level cultivation families, it is common for parents with spiritual roots to give birth to mortals, not to mention that Su Yu himself only has a ninth-grade spiritual root with extremely poor aptitude.
Su Yu remained calm and gently helped him up. Then, he calmly received the five low-grade spirit stones that the family had promised as a maternity allowance from the elder in charge.
Days continued to move forward.
During this time, Su Yu also took Qing'er, a maid, into his household and they served each other.
In the early summer of the third year, Song Qingwan went into labor again and gave birth to her second son.
Su Yu named him Su Yuan.
On the day of the full moon, Su Yu and several of his peers who had also given birth gathered together in front of the spirit-testing platform in the Inner Affairs Hall.
The hands of the children in front of them pressed on the spirit-testing beads, but all remained silent, causing the collateral disciples to sigh repeatedly.
When it was Su Yu's turn, he carried the infant Su Yuan forward and gently placed the child's tender hand on the crystal-clear spirit-testing bead.
The elder in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall sat in the main seat and casually cast a spell that entered the bead.
next interest.
Suddenly, a clear halo of light shone from within the previously still spirit-testing bead.
The light rapidly ascended, breaking through the dark, bottom-level areas representing the eighth and ninth grades, without any sense of confusion or stagnation, and finally settled steadily at the peak of the low-grade spiritual root, its radiance pure and dazzling.
"There's a spark of inspiration!"
The surrounding collateral relatives gasped in surprise, their expressions instantly changing.
Even the usually stern-faced elder showed a rare moment of emotion, and he suddenly stood up.
"A clear and bright spiritual light, a seventh-grade spiritual root!"
The elder's voice echoed in the hall, his gaze fixed on the infant in swaddling clothes, stroking his beard and nodding repeatedly.
Looking at the dazzling light, even Su Yu, who was usually calm, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
In the world of cultivation, the probability of a ninth-grade inferior root marrying a mortal woman and giving birth to a child with spiritual roots is already extremely low.
Let alone a second child, some people might give birth to ten or eight in a row and still not see a glimmer of hope!
What's more, this child was not born with a ninth-grade inferior root, but rather with a seventh-grade spiritual root that far surpassed his father's!
Such luck, placed at the bottom of Aoki Ward, is simply heaven-defying.
A seventh-grade spiritual root is already an excellent choice among low-grade spiritual roots, and it is only one step away from being a mid-grade spiritual root.
With careful nurturing, they will at least be able to steadily advance to the late stage of Qi Refining and become the backbone of the family in the market.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The elder said "good" three times, and his gaze toward Su Yu held a newfound respect.
Not only the elders, but also the young clan leader Su Hao, who rushed over upon hearing the news, had a clear smile on his face when he saw the results on the spirit testing platform.
Su Tian was a follower he had promoted.
For the past three years, Su Tian has been dutiful and kept a close watch on the outer spirit fields for him.
Now, not only is he actively responding to the family's call, but he has also given birth to a child with a seventh-grade spiritual root.
When this reached the ears of the higher-ups, they would only say that Su Hao not only had exceptional talent, but also that his subordinates were blessed with good fortune and could contribute to the family's prosperity.
"Su Tian, you did an excellent job."
Su Hao stepped forward, patted Su Yu on the shoulder, and praised him with the air of a superior.
"It is all thanks to the blessing and protection of the young clan leader and the cultivation of the family. Su Tian dares not take credit."
Su Yu lowered his eyes, returned the greeting with a cupped hand, and spoke respectfully, subtly sharing all the credit.
These words made Su Hao find his follower even more agreeable.
"According to family rules, those who give birth to offspring with spiritual roots will be richly rewarded."
The elder deacon returned to his seat, and with a wave of his sleeve, a delicate storage bag landed steadily in Su Yu's hand.
"The bag contains ten low-grade spirit stones, a bottle of 'Qi Gathering Pills' suitable for improving cultivation in the early stages of Qi Refining, and a low-grade magic weapon called 'Azure Edge Sword'."
The elder slowly said, "These resources are a reward from the family to you personally. As for this child, once he turns six, he will be directly introduced into the clan school by the main lineage and taught the techniques."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the surrounding collateral relatives turned red.
Ten spirit stones are fine, but those Qi Gathering Pills and low-grade magic weapons are definitely hot commodities in Qingmu Market!
Even if many low-level cultivators reach the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining, they may still be using ordinary steel weapons.
Su Yu received a magical artifact simply because he had a good son!
"Thank you, Elder. Thank you, family."
Su Yu accepted the storage bag with a calm expression, carefully put it away, and did not show the same look of being overwhelmed by great surprise as outsiders.
……
After the crowd dispersed, Su Yu carried her second son back to her own courtyard.
Upon learning that her second son had been found to have spiritual roots and possessed remarkable talent, Song Qingwan was so excited that she wept with joy and repeatedly kowtowed in the direction of the Internal Affairs Hall.
A mother's status rises with her son's.
In this family of cultivators, giving birth to a child with spiritual roots completely secures her position as a mortal wife.
Su Yu handed the child over to Song Qingwan for care and went into the quiet room alone.
He opened the gifted storage bag, took out the Qi Gathering Pill and the Qingfeng Sword, and placed them on the stone table in front of him.
After three years of secret accumulation, he had already pushed his cultivation level to the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Now, with the help of this Qi Gathering Pill, reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining is just a natural progression.
And this low-grade magic weapon, the Azure Edge Sword, makes up for his biggest weakness.
With his perspective as a martial arts master from his previous life, combined with the magical artifacts of the cultivation world, and further activated by the explosive method of "Heavenly Dragon True Qi", he could achieve great success.
Even if he encounters a cultivator of the same realm, he is confident that he can behead the opponent within ten moves in close combat.
