262: The thirty-seventh child
jade marrow mushroom, one of the three main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
The last main ingredient Zhou Luo was missing.
Hearing Wang Lang's words at this moment, he was greatly excited and asked with anticipation, "In the black market?"
Wang Lang nodded, "Moreover, it's in the hands of a Foundation Establishment Expert."
Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators naturally no longer need Foundation Establishment Pills, but don't they have descendants or close people who might need them?
"Would the other party be willing to take it out?" Zhou Luo inquired.
"Of course not all of it, but she plans to crowdfund the pill refining with others. Brother Zhou, you can discuss this with your elders; perhaps this plan is feasible," Wang Lang said seriously.
He didn't know that Zhou Luo was the one who needed the Foundation Establishment Pill, thinking instead that someone in the Lin Family was about to break through.
Although he was a direct descendant of the Wang Family, he had long since left the Family and had almost no business dealings with them. On the contrary, if he could deepen his relationship with Zhou Luo through this, perhaps he could obtain that top-grade Magical Artifact sooner.
Zhou Luo didn't speak immediately.
Crowdfunding pill refining was within his consideration, but if he were to crowdfund with a Foundation Establishment Realm, it would be too easy to expose himself and might even attract unnecessary trouble.
This step could only be a last resort.
"Tell me about that Foundation Establishment Expert," Zhou Luo said.
The Foundation Establishment Expert who was going to crowdfund pill refining this Time was named Quan Chunzhi. The reason she had to crowdfund this Time was entirely for her good-for-nothing younger brother.
It is said that her younger brother only had an eighth-grade Low Grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root), but because he had a Foundation Establishment Realm sister, with the strong support of various Cultivation resources, he was actually brought all the way to the Half-Step Foundation Establishment Realm.
Now was the Time for his Breakthrough, and his sister had spent a large amount of money cultivating him, which was why she was forced to start crowdfunding pill refining.
After hearing the introduction about that Foundation Establishment Expert, Zhou Luo sighed with emotion.
He thought to himself, even with the Foundation Establishment Pill, could her younger brother really break through?
One must know that Foundation Establishment is not just about having a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Of course, this matter was not within his consideration.
He wasn't in a hurry to crowdfund pill refining yet. After all, he was only at the Middle Stage of Qi Training layer nine, and there was still Time. He would see then.
He asked Wang Lang to pay more attention and didn't mention wanting to find the other party again afterward.
...
A month later, Lin Xi was due to give birth.
Zhou Luo specifically asked Wang Lang to find an experienced midwife.
In this "Nian", delivering babies is also considered a skill.
Don't look at Immortals who can ascend to the sky and enter the earth, being omnipotent, but when it comes to giving birth, they are still no different from ordinary women.
It's just that compared to ordinary people, it's safer.
Outside the room, Zhou Luo waited calmly at the door. Du Linghui and several maids beside him were busy back and forth.
Li Ying stood by his side, silent.
Wah—
At this moment, a clear cry came from the room. His thirty-seventh child was finally born.
【Congratulations to the host on the birth of the thirty-seventh descendant, gaining seventy "Nian" of lifespan addition!】
【Since this descendant has a four-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root), the host has gained twenty-five Aptitude points!】
【Current Aptitude: Eight-Grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) (219/500)】
A series of prompts sounded in his ears, and Zhou Luo's body trembled.
It was actually a child with a four-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root).
He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Could it really be because of the Dragon-Phoenix Union Art, this Dual Cultivation Cultivation Methods?
He found that the Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) quality of the descendants born to him and Lin Xi were all extremely good.
Currently, Lin Xi has four children.
The first two, Chang Le and Zhou Shiling, are four-grade and three-grade respectively.
Later, she gave birth to two more children, both five-grade.
Now there is another four-grade.
Their Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) quality completely surpasses everyone else's.
Although the conception rate has decreased, the Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) quality has not been disappointing.
What if he were to Dual Cultivation with a three-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root)?
Zhou Luo couldn't help but ponder.
If that were the case, the Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) of the descendants born would probably be even better, perhaps even Earth Spiritual Root?
Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) is divided into nine grades. In addition, there are Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root and Alien Spiritual Root (special Spiritual Root). These Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) have many advantages for Cultivation.
For example, Cultivators with Earth Spiritual Root have a high probability of successfully establishing Foundation Establishment even without using a Foundation Establishment Pill.
And Heavenly Spiritual Root holders, even before Nascent Soul, have no Breakthrough Bottlenecks and can easily step into it just by accumulating Time.
Actually, Yao Wu is a three-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root). If he were to experiment, she would be a good candidate.
Moreover, he noticed that after losing his Master, this little girl's favorability towards him was rising sharply.
If he were more proactive, it might actually be possible to win her over.
It's just that he is still wary of the Joyful Union Sect in the dark.
Although they cannot act in the Immortal City, what if?
No one can guarantee that this won't happen.
For the sake of safety, Zhou Luo could only temporarily put aside this idea.
On the other hand, what excited Zhou Luo even more was that he was only about halfway to his next Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) transformation.
Putting his thoughts away, Zhou Luo looked at the open door and walked in with a happy expression.
On the bed, Lin Xi looked at him with a pale face, carrying a hint of a smile.
Giving birth is actually damaging to women to varying degrees. Even with the assistance of the Dual Cultivation Method, they are still affected.
Zhou Luo walked up to her with a pained heart and named the newly born baby boy Chang Lang.
Speaking of which, it had been over two full "Nian" since this child was born.
In these two "Nian", although he was not as diligent as before, he was basically planting seeds.
It's just that after his Realm improved, the probability of harvesting after planting seeds became extremely small.
Zhou Luo couldn't help but think of the dream blue flower that Li Ying used when she married him.
Speaking of which, he had also asked the Li Family for a few when he was previously in seclusion.
Although they gave them to him, they had lost their vitality from being stored for too long, making them impossible to plant.
It would be great if he could cultivate them in large quantities in the future, at least it would increase the probability.
However, this made Zhou Luo realize that perhaps they were sold in the Immortal City.
He had been busy looking for Foundation Establishment Materials since coming to the Immortal City and had forgotten about this matter. He planned to ask Wang Lang about it after this.
Lin Xi, who had given birth, still needed to rest well. Fortunately, he had bought several maids, so there was no need to worry about being served.
As for the newborn little one, Du Linghui and Li Ying also took turns looking after him, and even Yao Wu would sometimes come here.
Although having a child wasn't a big deal, Zhou Luo didn't want to make a fuss.
But he couldn't stop the neighbors from inquiring.
As a result, people started coming to give gifts the next day.
This was a very normal thing, because Zhou Luo was, after all, an Upper-Grade Alchemist. Although he usually kept a low profile, the gesture still had to be made.
For example, Geng Feng next door held many birthday banquets.
However, Zhou Luo was not him and chose not to accept them, returning them all instead.
This greatly surprised the neighbors, who praised his character, making Geng Feng next door feel embarrassed. He even canceled his birthday banquet this year...
