43: Chapter 43: New Regulations Loom Over, Eldest Son's Extraordinary Abilities Shake the Entire Clan

The night wind carried the chill of early autumn.

Li Qingfeng rushed to the Qingyun Branch overnight.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Steward Xu Wenshan, with a dark expression, slammed a green Jade Slip onto the table.

"Kid Qingfeng, we're in big trouble this time!" Steward Xu Wenshan shouted, his face full of anger.

Li Qingfeng didn't stand on ceremony; he pulled out a chair, sat down, picked up the Jade Slip, and scanned it, immediately understanding about seventy or eighty percent of the situation.

"Deacon Xu, is the Inner Sect planning to tighten the standards for candidate Offering Families?" Li Qingfeng asked casually.

Steward Xu Wenshan said gloomily, "It's more than just tightening! Those old stubborn fools in the Inner Sect have issued new rules. From now on, when selecting Offering Families, they won't just look at how many Spiritual Plants and Medicinal Pills you can deliver in a season or two. They also want to see if your Family has a solid Foundation for sustainable Spiritual Plant cultivation, stable output, and Bloodline continuation. To put it bluntly, the Sect doesn't want to support some upstart that will only thrive for three or five years; they want a major Immortal cultivation Family that can be passed down for generations!"

After listening, Li Qingfeng's mind raced.

These new regulations were truly lethal.

In the past, as long as the goods were delivered, no one cared how they were grown.

But now? The pressure had shifted directly from "delivering on time" to "revealing your trump cards and showing your Family's assets."

The Li Family's Foundation was originally thin; although they had swallowed up many of the Zhao Family's assets, in the eyes of outsiders, they definitely lacked the heritage to be considered a multi-generational Family.

Steward Xu Wenshan took a sip of tea to suppress his anger, leaned in, lowered his voice, and hinted, "Qingfeng, with the Zhao Family having just fallen, Qingshi Town is in dire need of a Family that can truly take over. These Inner Sect rules might seem like they are meant to block people, but think about it carefully. If your Li Family can produce tangible results from Spirit Field improvements, combined with the potential of your descendants and proof of Bloodline continuation, this isn't a barrier—it's a ladder being built for you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng was overjoyed.

He calculated clearly in his mind that Old Xu was revealing the inside scoop to him.

These new regulations were a death warrant for other families, but for his branch of the Li Family, they were a tailor-made stepping stone!

What did he have in his hands?

He had improved experimental Spirit Fields, a chubby son, Li Changqing, born with the Spiritual Plant Affinity talent, and now his wife was pregnant with a second child with an even higher rating!

As long as he tied these three things together, the Li Family could completely secure this candidate qualification.

"Deacon Xu, rest assured, I have a plan for this," Li Qingfeng said seriously. He cupped his hands in a salute, said goodbye, and turned to leave.

He needed to rush back to the New Courtyard and get his Family's affairs in order.

Li Qingfeng sped all the way and pushed open the door to the inner chamber of the New Courtyard.

The room was lit by several bright Spirit Stone lamps, and the entire room was filled with the sweet, ripe fragrance of Su Qingyue's body.

Su Qingyue was sitting by the Spirit Spring well, holding a ledger in her hands.

She was wearing a bright red silk robe today, the fabric extremely thin, clinging softly to her body.

Because she had just given birth to Li Changqing not long ago and was pregnant with a second child, her figure was now so ripe it was practically dripping with allure.

Those two large, full mounds of white flesh stretched the neckline high, and the deep, fair cleavage was dazzling to the eyes.

The hem of her robe was lifted to the base of her thighs, and her two long, fair, tender, and fleshy legs were crossed casually.

Below her slender, water-snake-like waist, those round, firm peach-like buttocks pressed against the soft cushion, squeezing out a dangerously seductive curve.

This woman radiated a fiery, maddeningly itchy allure from head to toe.

Li Qingfeng walked over and squeezed her full, soft thigh, causing Su Qingyue to roll her eyes at him coquettishly.

"You've been out for half the night, and the moment you return, your hands are restless," Su Qingyue teased, her watery peach-blossom eyes full of charm as her small hand gently swatted away his mischievous palm.

Li Qingfeng chuckled and hugged her slender waist, which could be grasped with one hand, while stroking her fleshy, snow-white thigh, before recounting the matter of the Qingyun Sect's new regulations in detail.

He had expected Su Qingyue to be nervous, but who knew that this woman wouldn't even blink an eye.

"I thought it was some earth-shattering disaster," Su Qingyue said with a smile, skillfully spreading the ledger and several Spirit Field blueprints on the table.

She pointed to the densely packed records and said softly, "Look, this is the change in Spiritual Qi in the Seedling Spirit Pond over the past few days, and these are the output gains from the experimental Spirit Fields. No matter how the rules outside change, as long as we present what we have established here in the New Courtyard, what flaws could they possibly find?"

Li Qingfeng looked at her capable appearance and felt incredibly satisfied.

This wife not only had a top-tier figure but also a sharp mind; she was truly worth cherishing.

As the two were talking, Li Changqing woke up in his cradle.

His little chubby hands were waving, and he was babbling.

Su Qingyue got up, picked up Li Changqing, and walked to the Seedling Spirit Pond to play with him.

As soon as the little guy Li Changqing approached the Spirit Pond, the water and wood Spiritual Qi in the pond immediately became docile and obedient, and the leaves of the surrounding low-grade Spiritual Plants unfurled.

Just then, Su Qingyue suddenly clutched her flat lower abdomen, her brows knitting slightly.

"What's wrong?" Li Qingfeng rushed over and placed his large hand on her belly.

Su Qingyue shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, not pain. It's just that when Changqing was playing by the pond just now, this little one in my belly suddenly trembled slightly, reacting to his brother's aura. Even the water and wood Spiritual Qi in my Meridians has become much smoother."

Li Qingfeng fully activated his Vitality Perception and indeed discovered that the brand-new Life Qi in Su Qingyue's Qi Sea was faintly echoing the aura on Li Changqing.

The blue System panel in his mind exploded with a huge, dazzling golden light!

[Ding! The System has detected an initial Bloodline resonance between the first child and the second fetus!]

[System Detailed Explanation: The maternal body is being continuously nourished in an excellent Spirit Spring environment, combined with the close-range radiation of the first child's "Vitality Soothing" talent, successfully activating the second child's Innate Foundation! If the host continues to maintain high-concentration water and wood Spiritual Qi nourishment, there is a very high probability that the second child will manifest Innate tendencies ahead of schedule! The host must stabilize the environment of the inner courtyard, as this will play a decisive role in the Family Bloodline continuation rating!]

After reading the System's detailed explanation, Li Qingfeng almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It was truly like someone bringing a pillow just as he was feeling sleepy!

He had been wondering how to prove to the Qingyun Sect Inner Sect that the Li Family had the ability for Bloodline continuation, and now the System had paved the way.

As long as the second child's talent manifested ahead of schedule, plus Li Changqing's existing Spiritual Plant Affinity, the Li Family's reputation would be completely solidified in the Qingyun Sect!

"Good son, good wife! You are truly my money trees!" Li Qingfeng said, overjoyed, and leaned down to plant a heavy kiss on Su Qingyue's luscious, red lips.

Su Qingyue was kissed until she gasped slightly, her face flushed, and she scolded, "You have no decency, Changqing is still watching!"

Although she said that, her body leaned softly into Li Qingfeng's arms, allowing his large hands to take advantage of her waist and hips.

The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten.

Grand Elder Li Yuanheng rushed to the New Courtyard, his steps very fast.

He had also received word of the Qingyun Sect's new regulations last night and had been so worried he hadn't slept well, so he ran over early in the morning to discuss countermeasures with Li Qingfeng.

"Qingfeng, that new Inner Sect regulation…"

The Grand Elder hadn't finished his sentence when he stepped into the courtyard and froze.

He saw Su Qingyue standing in the courtyard holding Li Changqing, basking in the morning sun.

The soft morning sunlight shone on the mother and son, and an indescribable, clear, and moist aura circulated around them.

Li Changqing waved his little hands, and a wisp of gentle water and wood Life Qi emanated from Su Qingyue's lower abdomen.

As these two auras intersected, the few green leaf grass plants in the corner of the courtyard, which had just been transplanted and were originally somewhat yellow, actually sprouted fresh, emerald-green buds at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The leaves unfurled in the breeze, vibrant with life.

The Grand Elder stood there, his eyes wide and round, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

The old man rubbed his hands together, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time, and his eyes were clearly filled with irrepressible heat.

Looking at Li Changqing and Su Qingyue, the Grand Elder's heart was stirred by a tremendous wave; the Li Family was truly about to soar into the sky this time.
