10: Chapter 10 He, Luo Yunkai, wants both...

The Cave Residence Number One, valued at three million, was naturally different from the other residences.

As soon as the barrier was opened and he stepped into the Immortal Cave, the Spiritual Qi rushing to meet him made Luo Yunkai squint comfortably.

The concentration of this Spiritual Qi was hardly inferior to the Foundation Establishment spot he had sought deep within the Yunyin Forest specifically for his Foundation Establishment.

Back then, he had to fight a ninth-level Qi Refining Yao Beast for that piece of land to acquire it.

Now, with just a wave of his hand, such a fine place was his.

Luo Yunkai couldn't help but let out a wry smile, which vanished instantly.

Those hard days would never return!

Luo Yunkai looked with burning eyes at his Cheap son, who was curiously surveying the Immortal Cave.

"System, I want to check Tian'er's information."

As soon as he saw his Cheap son, the System had already popped up the [Xiao Tian Information] panel, but Luo Yunkai hadn't had time to look.

Now, he finally had the time.

[Name: Xiao Tian

Gender: Male

Age: Eighteen years and six months

Talent: Physique

Spiritual Root: Void Spirit Root

Cultivation: None]

"Void Spirit Root? What kind of Spiritual Root is that? A mutated Spiritual Root?" Luo Yunkai was completely bewildered.

After drifting in the Cultivation World for over seventy years, he had never heard of the Void Spirit Root.

The System did not respond.

Luo Yunkai frowned. Could it be that this System only dispenses Spirit Stones and is otherwise useless?

Suddenly, his eyes sharpened.

The words 'Void Spirit Root' were visibly lighter in color than the other text.

Luo Yunkai's Divine Sense subconsciously clicked on the words 'Void Spirit Root,' and the panel before him changed.

[Void Spirit Root: A Spiritual Root situated between having and not having; it can be present or absent. Its lower limit is very low, but its upper limit is equally high.

Note: A pure Void Spirit Root cannot Cultivate. However, the Void Spirit Root is not entirely uncultivatable. By Fusing corresponding elemental Heaven And Earth Treasure, the Void Spirit Root can transform into the corresponding Spiritual Root. The higher the Rank of the Heaven And Earth Treasure, the better the Spiritual Root becomes; becoming comparable to a Heavenly Spiritual Root is not impossible!]

Luo Yunkai's heart soared and plummeted like a rocket.

Seeing that the Void Spirit Root could not Cultivate, his heart turned cold by half.

He knew clearly how useless his Five Spiritual Roots were. Even with countless Spirit Stones, the possibility of smashing himself into a peerless mighty figure was slim.

His only hope was Bloodline Cultivation Feedback, yet his Cheap son couldn't Cultivate!?

When he saw the latter part, his heart, which had fallen to the bottom, suddenly soared.

Luo Yunkai, weighed down by his Spiritual Root, understood deeply how heavy the phrase 'comparable to a Heavenly Spiritual Root' was.

"Hahaha..." Luo Yunkai laughed heartily.

Xiao Tian, who had been observing the Immortal Cave environment, was startled by the laughter. "Dad?"

Luo Yunkai's face was full of smiles, and the wrinkles on his face seemed much shallower.

"Dad is just happy, extremely happy."

Xiao Tian also laughed along, "Dad, I'm happy too."

Luo Yunkai heavily patted Xiao Tian's shoulder. "Don't worry, Dad will definitely build you a road to the heavens!"

Xiao Tian was deeply moved. "Dad, if it's too troublesome..."

"It's not troublesome!" Luo Yunkai stated firmly.

Xiao Tian just felt that his Dad was truly the best.

Luo Yunkai didn't rush to find Heaven And Earth Treasure to shape the Spiritual Root for his Cheap son; this couldn't be rushed.

He asked his Cheap son to take out the Four-legged Young Beast from the Storage Pouch and personally cooked a welcoming feast for his Cheap son.

Of the entire Four-legged Young Beast, Luo Yunkai, a Cultivator, only ate a quarter; the rest was consumed entirely by his Cheap son!

After eating more than half of the Four-legged Young Beast, Xiao Tian, who had looked thin, visibly grew stronger.

The robes that had been somewhat loose on him now fit snugly against his body.

With the slightest movement, the sound of tearing fabric could be heard.

Xiao Tian was a little embarrassed.

Luo Yunkai stepped forward in surprise to investigate and found that the physical deficiencies his Cheap son had accumulated over the years had almost been replenished.

Even after decades in the Cultivation World, Luo Yunkai had never seen such a miraculous Physique.

He remembered that the System had pointed out his Cheap son's talent was Physique.

Could it be related to this Physique talent?

"Yao Beast meat is truly miraculous. No wonder the Marquis treasures it so much. Dad, thank you!" Xiao Tian attributed his changes entirely to the Yao Beast meat.

He had moved past the initial embarrassment of tearing his clothes and was now very excited, flexing his arms and patting his stomach and thighs, his eyes full of confidence in his newfound strength.

As the father and son enjoyed their harmonious time, the barrier was touched.

Luo Yunkai raised an eyebrow, opened the Immortal Cave barrier, and a communication talisman flew in.

A spiritual art was cast towards the communication talisman, and Middleman He's voice came from the thin piece of paper.

"Old Luo, be careful. You have been targeted by someone with ill intentions."

Hmm?

Luo Yunkai tossed the communication talisman aside, not taking it to heart.

Xiao Tian, however, became anxious. "Dad, who is targeting us? Will there be danger?"

A hint of danger flashed in Luo Yunkai's eyes. "It's nothing, just a mere clown."

"So what if he rented Cave Residence Number One? He's just a clown daring to oppose me! I must teach them a lesson!"

In a private room at a restaurant, Bai Shao listened to the report from the servant he had sent out and sneered repeatedly.

"You all keep a close watch on them. If that father and son duo leave Cave Residence Number One, send people to follow them. If you discover they are about to leave the market, notify me. Do you understand?"

"We understand!"

After the subordinates left, Bai Shao 'swished' open his fan, feigning a dashing manner as he fanned himself. His eyes, narrowed to a Minor Achievement slit, were full of scheming.

"Having Spirit Stones is impressive? That depends on whether you can keep them!"

Thinking of those piles of glittering Spirit Stones, a greedy look flashed in Bai Shao's eyes.

...

[Congratulations to Host for obtaining one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!]

Luo Yunkai, who was meditating in the cultivation room, was very satisfied upon hearing the System's announcement.

One hundred thousand Spirit Stones a day, three million Spirit Stones a month, thirty-six million Spirit Stones a year—the more Luo Yunkai thought about it, the hotter his heart became.

This was just the income from one son. If he had more Bloodlines, wouldn't he worry even less about Spirit Stones?

However...

He was a very cautious person. His Cheap son had just been found; he didn't want to hastily find women to have children and affect the image he had built in Xiao Tian's heart, thus impacting their father-son relationship.

Luo Yunkai couldn't be sure if the education fund would continue to be issued if Xiao Tian didn't acknowledge him as his father.

Furthermore, Luo Yunkai also worried about...

He summoned the System panel and stared repeatedly at the note in the education fund description: 'Host acknowledges one Bloodline.'

Acknowledging a Bloodline rewards tens of millions of Spirit Stones. If it wasn't an acknowledgment, would the System still give rewards?

Luo Yunkai dared not gamble!

If he tried to fleece the System and ended up losing the already-obtained Spirit Stone Machine - Xiao Tian - without gaining the new Spirit Stone Machine he hoped for, wouldn't the loss outweigh the gain?

Without absolute certainty, Luo Yunkai would not take the risk.

First, stabilize the Cheap son, then change his current aged appearance, and let the Cheap son willingly find women for him to have younger siblings—wouldn't that be wonderful?

He, Luo Yunkai, wanted both!
