403: Chapter 404 Why is his surname Nangong?!

He had previously seen in the System introduction that if his offspring possessed excellent Spiritual Root Aptitude or a special spirit body, they would provide feedback to their parents.

This sudden leap in his Spiritual Root and the acquisition of a top-tier spirit body must be because a certain offspring had been born, and that child's Aptitude was extremely astonishing.

He hurriedly pulled up the offspring panel, his gaze scanning quickly—

Immediately after, his gaze locked onto the last newly appeared entry.

【Nangong Yaoyao】

Lifespan: 0 / 118

Spiritual Root: Second Grade Spiritual Root

Spirit Body: Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Sacred Body (Top-tier spirit body)

Talent: Charm Arts (80%)

Below, an image of a beautifully sculpted, jade-like baby appeared in Ye Changge's mind—

It was a newborn baby girl, her skin as fair and tender as snow, her eyebrows curved, her cherry-red mouth slightly pouting, and her eyes, like black grapes, were clear and bright, as if containing the starry sky.

What was most eye-catching was the faint halo of fragrance surrounding her; even the image seemed to exude a hint of sweetness.

Ye Changge looked at the image, and understanding dawned on him.

Looking at the beautifully sculpted little baby girl in the image, a soft emotion couldn't help but rise in his heart.

She was his daughter, flowing with his blood, having inherited his Spiritual Root and spirit body.

"Nangong Yaoyao..."

Ye Changge whispered the name, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Second Grade Spiritual Root, Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Sacred Body, top-tier spirit body.

And he himself had consequently gained a Spiritual Root leap and this top-tier spirit body.

Ye Changge was overjoyed.

Now that he possessed a Second Grade Spiritual Root, the success rate for his Core Formation would surely increase significantly.

Coupled with the effect of the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Sacred Body in cleansing his Physical Body, his Body Refining Cultivation would rise accordingly, and his Foundation would become even more stable.

Indeed, giving birth to many is not as good as giving birth to one of high quality!

Giving birth to one hundred children with Low Grade Spiritual Roots is not as beneficial as giving birth to one child with a High Grade Spiritual Root!

This time, he only had one daughter, but he directly leapt to a Second Grade Spiritual Root and gained a top-tier spirit body for free.

If he were to give birth to another child with a First Grade Spiritual Root or even the legendary Earthly Spiritual Root, wouldn't he be able to advance directly to a First Grade Spiritual Root?!

At that point, Core Formation would be a piece of cake!

The more Ye Changge thought about it, the more excited he became, wishing he could immediately round up all his wives and concubines at home for some Dual Cultivation.

However, he also knew that such matters could not be rushed.

Things like spirit bodies and Spiritual Roots were largely innate and could not be forced.

Being able to conceive a child with such Aptitude with that Core Formation Female Cultivator was already a massive stroke of good fortune.

He composed his mind and looked at the image of the beautifully sculpted little baby girl once again.

"Nangong Yaoyao..."

Ye Changge looked at the beautifully sculpted little baby girl in the image, and a soft emotion couldn't help but rise in his heart.

She was his daughter, flowing with his blood, having inherited his Spiritual Root and spirit body.

Ye Changge whispered the name, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Although he did feel a tiny bit unhappy about the fact that his daughter was surnamed "Nangong."

After all, she was his own daughter, so she should really have the surname Ye.

But on second thought, that Core Formation Female Cultivator had been pregnant for several years and had given birth to and raised the child alone; he hadn't contributed anything, so it was only natural for the child to take the mother's surname.

He didn't really care about such things anyway.

Ye Changge shook his head, temporarily pushing these distracting thoughts aside.

He was fairly open-minded about this aspect and didn't dwell on it too much.

"Only a Second Grade Spiritual Root..."

He looked back at the offspring panel, his gaze resting on the line "Spiritual Root: Second Grade Spiritual Root," deep in thought.

For ordinary newborns, Spiritual Root Aptitude usually fluctuated between the Sixth and Ninth Grade. Even the children born to his wives and concubines who possessed spirit bodies were only at the Sixth or Seventh Grade.

Yet Nangong Yaoyao was born with a Second Grade Spiritual Root, which was simply shocking.

"Could it be that because of the multi-year pregnancy, the Spiritual Root gestated longer and matured more in the womb, leading to an Aptitude far surpassing ordinary people?"

Ye Changge speculated.

This guess of his was not without merit.

With a normal ten-month pregnancy, the time for the Spiritual Root to form within the fetus was extremely short.

"In that case, the Spiritual Root feedback leaping directly from Fourth Grade to Second Grade makes sense."

Ye Changge nodded gently, understanding dawning on him.

He had previously been at the Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, and with his daughter's birth, the feedback had pushed him directly to the Second Grade.

One had to know that with every grade increase in Spiritual Root, one's Cultivation speed, Spiritual Power purity, and the probability of breaking through a Bottleneck would see a qualitative leap.

Going from Fourth Grade to Second Grade was equivalent to crossing two major steps.

"However... why is this Lifespan so long?"

Ye Changge's gaze fell again on the line "Lifespan: 0 / 118," and obvious surprise appeared in his eyes.

He had seen the Lifespan data of so many children at birth before, and none had exceeded one hundred years.

His eldest son, Ye Bufan, had a Lifespan of ninety-eight years at birth, which was the longest among his offspring.

The rest of the children mostly fluctuated between eighty and ninety years.

Yet Nangong Yaoyao's Lifespan was as high as one hundred and eighteen years.

One must know that many Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators only had such a Lifespan.

One hundred and eighteen years—among Mortals, this was a rare longevity, and among Cultivators, it was also a considerable amount of Lifespan.

"Does this Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Sacred Body have a life-extending effect?"

Ye Changge's heart stirred, and he hurriedly pulled up his own attribute panel.

【Name: Ye Changge】

【Age: 24】

【...】

Seeing the "Lifespan" column, Ye Changge's pupils constricted slightly.

He clearly remembered that the last time he checked his Lifespan, it was two hundred and seventy-eight years.

Just like that, it had increased out of thin air by seven years!

He was now a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and had consumed First, Second, and Third Grade longevity pills, so his Lifespan had already been stacked to be much longer than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Under these circumstances, to be able to increase it by another seven years showed just how astonishing the life-extending effect of this Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Sacred Body was.

"Top-tier spirit body... it truly lives up to its reputation."

Ye Changge exclaimed inwardly.

Although the Yimu Physique was also a decent spirit body, it was biased towards assisting vegetation and spiritual plants, and its bonus to one's own Lifespan was limited.

The Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Sacred Body was clearly more inclined towards abilities like "cleansing the Physical Body and purifying the Origin," with Lifespan extension being merely a side effect.

He felt his own body and indeed sensed a subtle, continuous, cooling Qi flowing slowly through his limbs and bones, as if something was silently washing away the Impurities and hidden injuries within his body.

Although he had just acquired the spirit body and the effects had not yet fully manifested, Ye Changge could already foresee that as time passed, this body would become increasingly transparent and more suitable for Cultivation.

"Good stuff, truly good stuff."

Ye Changge couldn't help but exclaim again.

He steadied his mind and continued reading down—

【Talent: Charm Arts (80%)】

Seeing this line, Ye Changge frowned slightly.

An 80% talent compatibility was certainly not low.
