353: Chapter 354 A Fifth-Rank Spiritual Root Offspring!

With a thought, he recalled that in the Talisman Array Legacy he had obtained, there was a Third-Tier Talisman called the "Substitute Talisman."

Once this Talisman is refined, a Cultivator only needs to imprint a wisp of their Divine Soul into it. When encountering fatal danger, the Talisman will automatically trigger, instantly teleporting them to a pre-set safe location.

This is simply a life-saving treasure for his offspring to use when they go out for training.

However... given his current Foundation Establishment Cultivation level, crafting a Third-Tier Talisman is extremely difficult, and the success rate is pitifully low.

He carefully calculated the Materials on hand; even if he exhausted all his efforts, he would likely only be able to barely produce one or two.

This quantity is truly a drop in the bucket for his ever-growing team of offspring.

"I could try using the 'Talisman Nourishing Technique' first," Ye Changge pondered.

The Talisman Nourishing Technique is a niche method within the Talisman Array Legacy, where one places an unfinished high-tier Talisman embryo into it, exchanging time for a slow improvement in its grade. Although it takes a very long time, it is better than nothing.

Just as he was immersed in how to improve the Talisman Nourishing Technique and select suitable second-rank talismans for nourishment, a soft sound of footsteps echoed outside the door.

Ye Changge looked up and saw Lu Shiyin pushing the door open and entering.

Today, she was wearing a water-blue palace dress, her sleeves fluttering, resembling a Fairy who had stepped out of a painting. Ever since she began to Cultivate the "Taiyi Life-Water Art" taught by Ye Changge, her temperament had become increasingly ethereal and refined. Every gesture she made carried a moist, clear charm, so gentle it seemed as if water could drip from her.

She walked to Ye Changge's side, gently took his hand, and said softly, "Husband, Little Sister Qingli is about to give birth."

Ye Changge was slightly stunned, then raised an eyebrow, his eyes revealing unexpected surprise: "Oh? Qingli is about to give birth?"

Zhao Qingli, the young girl he had brought back on his return journey at someone's request. When he first saw her, she was just a young girl whose figure was just beginning to mature, possessing the rare "Spirit Nurturing Body," with a hint of timidity and resilience in her eyes.

After returning to Longmai Mountain, he specifically checked relevant information and discovered that the "Spirit Nurturing Body" had a unique gift for bearing offspring. Not only could it increase the conception rate, but it could also optimize the quality of the fetus's Spiritual Root to a certain extent.

Therefore, he took special care of Zhao Qingli, not only personally selecting a suitable Cultivation Technique for her but also frequently guiding her practice.

Perhaps sensing his sincerity, Zhao Qingli became pregnant shortly after arriving at Longmai Mountain.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the day of labor had arrived.

"Let's go take a look." Ye Changge stood up, took Lu Shiyin's hand, and the two walked quickly toward the delivery room.

The delivery room was located in a separate small courtyard in the backyard, surrounded by soundproofing and calming Formations. When Ye Changge and Lu Shiyin arrived, several wives and concubines who had heard the news were already standing outside the courtyard gate, talking in low voices, their faces filled with concern.

Seeing Ye Changge arrive, they all made way for him.

Not long after, a loud cry of a baby came from inside the delivery room.

The cry was crisp and strong, carrying a vigorous vitality of new life.

Ye Changge's heart trembled slightly. The moment the crying sound reached his ears, he clearly felt a strange palpitation coming from the depths of his Spiritual Root.

It was a very mysterious sensation, as if a stream of clear spring water had been injected into a dry riverbed, nourishing and real.

He subconsciously closed his eyes to perceive it; although the palpitation was brief, it was stronger than any feedback received during the birth of his previous offspring.

"Fifth-Grade Spiritual Root..."

This thought flashed through Ye Changge's mind, and a look of surprise and joy could not help but appear in his eyes.

As expected of the Spirit Nurturing Body! This was Zhao Qingli's first birth, and she had actually given birth to an offspring with a Fifth-Grade Spiritual Root!

You must know that although his own Spiritual Root had been upgraded to the Fourth-Grade after multiple System feedbacks, it was still a considerable distance from the Third-Grade, which is considered a superior Spiritual Root.

And the quality of an offspring's Spiritual Root often affects the improvement of his own Spiritual Root through System feedback. The higher the quality of the offspring, the more significant the feedback.

Now with this child with a Fifth-Grade Spiritual Root, he was one step closer to reaching the Third-Grade Spiritual Root.

"If Nangong Zili could also give birth smoothly..." Ye Changge suddenly thought of another woman who was pregnant.

That Spider Gu Envoy of the Five Gu Sect, who had conceived his child due to some accidents.

What quality would the fetus in her womb be?

Just as his thoughts were flying, the door to the delivery room was pushed open, and an experienced midwife walked out holding a swaddle, beaming with joy as she congratulated Ye Changge: "Congratulations, Master! It is a Young Master! Both mother and child are safe!"

Ye Changge stepped forward and carefully took the swaddle from the midwife. The baby in his arms was delicate and pretty, his skin as fair as a freshly peeled egg. There was still a bit of amniotic fluid on his little face, and his dark, liquid eyes were half-open and half-closed, curiously observing the world.

Perhaps sensing his father's aura, the baby stopped crying and let out a few soft, cooing sounds.

Ye Changge looked at this newborn son in his arms, his heart feeling incredibly soft.

Zhao Qingli and he were both Cultivators, so the fetus's Innate foundation was already excellent. Coupled with the special nourishment of the Spirit Nurturing Body, this child was born much plumper and rounder than ordinary babies.

He gently rocked the swaddle, already starting to calculate in his mind how to give this child a good name, what kind of meeting gift to prepare, and what kind of Cultivation path to plan...

But the most important thing right now was to let the mother have a good rest.

Ye Changge handed the swaddle to the maid beside him to be taken care of, and then he took Lu Shiyin into the delivery room to visit Zhao Qingli, who had just experienced childbirth.

On the bed, Zhao Qingli's face was somewhat pale, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, but her eyes were full of the joy and fatigue of a new mother.

Seeing Ye Changge enter, she softly called out "Husband," her voice somewhat weak, but it could not hide that sense of peace.

Ye Changge walked to the bedside and sat down, holding her hand, and said warmly: "Qingli, you have worked hard. The child is very healthy, and his Spiritual Root is excellent. Rest assured and recover; I will handle the rest."

As he spoke, he channeled a strand of gentle Spiritual power with his fingertips to help Zhao Qingli calm her Qi and blood and restore her strength.

Feeling that warm power flowing within her body, Zhao Qingli's tense nerves finally relaxed completely. She let out a soft "Mn," closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep before long.

Ye Changge watched over her for a while longer, confirming that her breathing was steady, before getting up and leaving the delivery room with Lu Shiyin.

Walking outside the courtyard, the night breeze was slightly cool.

Lu Shiyin looked at the joy that he could not hide between his brows, and the corners of her lips curled into a gentle smile. She said softly, "Husband, your offspring are becoming more and more prosperous, and this Ye Family of Longmai Mountain is becoming more and more promising."

Ye Changge nodded, looking at the rolling silhouettes of the mountains in the distance, his gaze profound: "Yes... It's just that the world is becoming less and less peaceful. To protect this family Legacy, we must become stronger."
