324: Chapter 49 [Quick]

The techniques Zhou Luo taught were not actually profound, but because they had been lost, they appeared novel to the Alchemists.

Sun Alchemist, as if he had found a treasure, couldn't wait to test the Pill Refining techniques Zhou Luo described.

Mastering one method leads to mastering all.

Although he didn't yet have the conditions to apply these techniques to the refining of Foundation Establishment Pills, he was surprised to find that these techniques were surprisingly effective when refining other Pills.

"This Zhou Luo is really lucky, to be favored by such an important figure."

Looking at the five Pills lying quietly in the Pill Furnace, he couldn't help but exclaim.

After mastering these techniques, he found that the speed at which he refined Pills was significantly faster, and the quality and quantity had also improved.

Now, Sun Alchemist was increasingly convinced that the rumors outside were true.

Zhou Luo had indeed encountered an immortal destiny and was appreciated by an important figure.

Otherwise, he didn't believe that the other party could Master such exquisite Pill Refining techniques by himself.

These techniques were not even mentioned when he communicated with that Alchemist from the Immortal Sect back then.

Thinking of this, Sun Alchemist's opinion of Zhou Luo rose another notch.

The reason for this was naturally the person behind him.

The next day, Zhou Residence in the Core Area.

Wang Lang sent a message that the Dan Alliance had given up that piece of land.

Zhou Luo handed all these matters over to Wang Lang to handle, while he stayed at home teaching his children and practicing Cultivation.

During this time, Sun Alchemist also had the things he needed sent over, and he had another good discussion about Pill Refining techniques with Zhou Luo.

It was called a discussion, but in reality, Zhou Luo just casually mentioned some small tips and tricks.

Facing these things he had never heard of, Sun Alchemist showed great eagerness to learn.

He returned with a full load, feeling incredibly excited.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Yao Wu to give birth.

Outside the room on the second floor of the main building, in the inner courtyard of the Zhou Residence.

Zhou Luo waited silently outside with Zhou Changlun and Zhou Changqing.

The midwife had already gone in.

This was something Zhou Luo had specifically asked Wang Lang to arrange.

"Father, Mother will be alright, right?" Zhou Changqing, pulling on Zhou Luo's hem, looked up with his small face, his big eyes full of worry.

Zhou Luo smiled slightly, bent down, and picked him up: "With Father here, Mother will be alright."

Xiao Changqing leaned against that broad chest and softly hummed in response.

Zhou Changlun, who was already one meter sixty-five tall, stood there with pursed lips, inevitably thinking of his Mother far away in the Lin Family.

It had been almost two months since he came here. Before this, he had always stayed with his Mother, and their feelings were deep.

Now that he had been away for so long, the young man's heart inevitably felt a sense of longing.

[Congratulations to the host on the birth of your forty-ninth descendant, you have gained seventy years of lifespan!]

[Because this descendant possesses a fourth-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root), the host has gained twenty-five points of Aptitude!]

[Current Aptitude: Eighth-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) (442/500)]

At this moment, the familiar System prompt sounded.

Yao Wu successfully gave birth to a child with a fourth-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root).

Although it was only a mid-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root), it was still top-grade Aptitude.

If properly cultivated in this Core Area in the future, coupled with some opportunities, there is a high probability of stepping into Foundation Establishment.

What's more, this newborn baby's greatest immortal destiny was his Father.

With him around, the other party would not have to worry about opportunities in the future.

Recalling his thoughts, he looked at the open door.

The midwife looked at him happily: "Congratulations, Master, it's a girl."

"I'm going to have a younger sister?"

Zhou Changqing's childish voice suddenly rose. His previous worries were swept away, and his words were full of excitement.

Zhou Luo carried him and walked into the room.

On the bed in the room, Yao Wu was lying there weakly, her face slightly pale.

A small baby was lying in the cradle beside her pillow, crying loudly. The sound was clear but not harsh, instead bringing a feeling of liveliness and happiness.

"Mother."

Zhou Changqing called out, waving his small hands, very happy.

Zhou Luo put the little fellow down and came to her side with a smile, gently stroking her slightly pale face, full of doting affection.

"You've worked hard."

Yao Wu showed a pale smile: "What name will you give our daughter?"

"Zhou Family daughters all use 'Shi' as their generational name. I want to give her the name 'Xin'." Zhou Luo said gently.

Zhou Shi Xin, this was Zhou Luo's forty-ninth child.

This name was not particularly special among Zhou Luo's many descendants, but long after, it resounded throughout the entire Cultivation World.

Achieving true notoriety.

Of course, these are matters for later.

At this moment, Zhou Changqing, as the Brother, was leaning his small hands on the edge of the cradle, curiously looking at the baby whose face was red from crying, constantly blinking his eyes, wanting to make his younger sister laugh.

Zhou Changlun, standing straight beside him, kept glancing at this little fellow, a sense of responsibility inexplicably emerging in his heart.

...

The news of Zhou Luo's descendant being born spread quickly.

Although everyone knew he had many wives, concubines, and children, because of his reputation, everyone came to visit.

It was also a way to make friends with him using this excuse.

Sun Alchemist also brought several Disciples to the Zhou Residence.

Among them was the arrogant Geng Feng.

He followed behind his Master, all the way to the inner courtyard.

The guests in the inner courtyard were all important figures from the Core Area. Some were Masters of Second-Order Pill Refining Technique, while others were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Everyone sat there, laughing and talking, exchanging toasts with Zhou Luo.

Although these people had high statuses and were usually highly respected outside, they were completely unpretentious at this moment.

After all, Zhou Luo was also a Second-Order Alchemist and could even refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

Although these Foundation Establishment cultivators didn't need Foundation Establishment Pills, it was inevitable that their future descendants would.

So, making friends in advance was definitely a good thing.

"Zhou Alchemist."

Sun Alchemist, wearing a moon-white Pill Refining robe, came before Zhou Luo and bowed with a smile.

The Disciples behind him all lowered their heads respectfully.

"Sun Alchemist, come, please sit down quickly." Zhou Luo invited him to a seat in the main building.

The other party had lived in the Core Area for decades and was familiar with the guests present. After sitting down, he began to chat.

As for the Disciples, due to their status, they could only sit in the outer courtyard.

"Zhou... Alchemist, please accept this gift."

Geng Feng handed over a storage ring with both hands.

The former neighbor, who was even a Daoist friend with whom he discussed and exchanged ideas, had now soared to the branches and become a Phoenix. His status was such that even his own Master had to respect him.

This earth-shattering change fell upon Geng Feng's heart, and the taste of it was indescribable to outsiders.

Zhou Luo had a calm expression, accepted the congratulatory gift, and then left.

Back then, he might have needed to rely on the other party to get to know Sun Alchemist.

But now that their statuses had changed, the so-called friendship was meaningless in the face of vastly different positions.

Entering the main building's hall, Zhou Luo took a seat beside Sun Alchemist.

As soon as he sat down, Sun Alchemist sent a voice transmission: "Zhou Alchemist, I have one more thing I'd like to ask for your help with."
