46: Chapter 46: The eldest son's talent is exchanged for a gold mine, and his beautiful wife lies on the bed with fragrant jade legs.

Great Elder Li Yuanheng's words fell in the outer hall, carrying immense weight.

The old man stroked the white beard on his chin, his eyes fixed intently on the jade box on the table, his heart as clear as a mirror.

The Wang Family had completely treated Li Qingfeng's branch as the biggest prize in Qingshi Town.

Li Qingfeng sat in the main seat, raised his teacup to take a sip, his expression unchanged.

"Great Elder, it was only a matter of time before the Wang Family started harboring such thoughts," Li Qingfeng said seriously. "They covet the foundation of our Family, and even more so, they covet my ability to produce good offspring. But what others think is their business; we ourselves must not get carried away."

His mind raced.

Why did the Wang Family want to form a marriage alliance? It was simply because they had their eyes on the priceless potential of his branch.

Rather than being constantly speculated about and plotted against by outsiders, it was better to strengthen the hand he held!

As long as his trump cards were strong enough, no matter who came to negotiate in the future, they would have to honestly follow Li Qingfeng's rules.

After seeing the Great Elder off, Li Qingfeng turned and returned to the New Courtyard.

Just as he stepped into the courtyard, the blue System interface in his mind automatically popped up, lighting up with a large section of light screen.

[Ding! The System has detected that the eldest son, Li Changqing, has passed the initial birth period and has officially entered the 'Talent Germination Period'!]

[System Detailed Explanation: The first son was born with the Innate 'Spiritual Plant Affinity' and 'Vitality Soothing' talents. The current single nourishing mode of the Seedling Spirit Pond can no longer meet his growth needs. It is suggested that the Host immediately activate the 'Spiritual Plant Companion Nourishing' mode!]

[Operation Guide: Daily, select three low-grade Spiritual Plants of different attributes and place them on the edge of the Seedling Spirit Pond, allowing the eldest son to naturally come into contact with the vitality of plants in a gentle water-wood environment. This action can significantly activate and stabilize his Spiritual Plant Affinity talent! Please ensure the Host handles this personally; father-son interaction will provide additional bonuses to Family Luck!]

Li Qingfeng carefully finished reading this detailed operation guide, and he immediately felt confident.

This is what you call professional! The System even arranged everything clearly, from how to raise the baby to how to develop his talents.

Early the next morning.

Li Qingfeng went straight to the Family's storehouse and retrieved three pots of low-grade Spiritual Plants: a pot of water-attribute green leaf grass, a pot of wood-attribute Spirit-Returning Grass, and a pot of yellow-root vine that carried a hint of earthy scent.

He personally placed these three pots of plants by the edge of the Seedling Spirit Pond, then picked up Li Changqing from the cradle and slowly brought him closer.

Li Changqing waved his chubby little hands, babbling and blowing bubbles, incredibly curious about these flowers and plants.

The little guy reached out and grabbed the leaves of that pot of green leaf grass.

At that very moment, an indescribable, gentle vitality radiated out from Changqing's little hand.

The green leaf grass, which had been a bit wilted from the change of soil, saw its leaves visibly perk up and become vibrant and lush.

Li Qingfeng watched with delight, gently bouncing his chubby son in his arms.

"Good lad, you have a bright future!" Li Qingfeng laughed heartily. "If you don't farm properly when you grow up with this skill, Dad would feel like it's a waste of your talent!"

Su Qingyue sat at the stone table nearby, holding an account book and a small Spirit brush, carefully making records.

She was wearing a light cyan, thin gauze shirt today, with the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing a section of snow-white, tender forearm.

Because she was carrying her second child, and with the good nourishment she'd been getting lately, her figure had become increasingly plump and supple.

The thin gauze shirt couldn't possibly contain the heavy, white mounds on her chest, which were pushed up into an astonishingly exaggerated contour.

Whenever she moved even slightly, the deep, pale cleavage would quiver, full of the alluring, fleshy sensuality of a mature young woman.

Below her slender waist, her round, full peach-like buttocks pressed against the stone stool, stretching her skirt taut.

Her two fair, large legs were casually crossed, the soft flesh pressed together, a sight that made one's eyes heat up.

"Don't just focus on teasing him; be careful he doesn't pluck the leaves bald," Su Qingyue said softly, rolling her watery peach-blossom eyes at him.

She lowered her head to write in the account book, murmuring softly: "Si hour, third quarter, contact with green leaf grass, leaf color turned green, Spiritual Qi fluctuations smooth, Spirit-returning speed increased..."

Li Qingfeng looked at her diligent and meticulous appearance, feeling incredibly at ease.

This wife was no longer just a woman to warm his bed and bear his children; she was the most capable housekeeper of this branch.

She managed all matters, both inside and outside the house, in an orderly fashion.

Just then, the System popped up another golden light.

[Ding! The System has detected Fetal Breath fluctuations from the second child!]

[System Detailed Explanation: Because the mother has been surrounded by the vitality of Spiritual Plants for a long time, the second child can already sense external vitality fluctuations through the mother! It is suggested that the Host select the time of day when the mother looks her best to take her to inspect the High Grade Spirit Medicine fields, allowing the second child to come into more contact with the Heaven and Earth Wood Qi and 'see the world' early. This is extremely beneficial for stabilizing the Innate rating!]

Seeing this, Li Qingfeng immediately had new plans.

When the sun was not as intense in the afternoon, Li Qingfeng took Su Qingyue directly to the two plots of High Grade Spirit Medicine fields that had just been seized from the Zhao Family.

This was the best piece of land the Li Family currently possessed.

Li Qingfeng stood on the ridge of the field, waved his hand, and loudly instructed the several stewards following behind:

"This land is too big; we cannot plant it all mixed together. From today on, designate the large plot on the east side as the 'Supply Field', specifically for growing the goods required by the Qingyun Sect. Tend to it according to the old rules, and ensure the output is fast!"

"Designate the small plot on the west side as the 'Family Field', and reinforce the surrounding Formation by two layers! This land will only be used to grow High Grade Spirit Medicine for nourishing the mother and cultivating the Seedling Spirit Pond. Without my or my wife's approval, no one is allowed to go in and mess around!"

The stewards nodded repeatedly, none of them daring to say a word.

Su Qingyue walked on the ridge of the field, taking a few deep breaths of the rich plant-based Spiritual Qi, and sure enough, a gentle wave of heat faintly emanated from her lower abdomen. She rubbed her belly, her complexion looking even more radiant.

By evening, they returned to their room.

Su Qingyue had walked a bit too much today, and combined with carrying the second child, her lower back was aching and feeling weak.

As soon as she entered the inner chamber, she kicked off her shoes and collapsed softly onto the large, cushioned couch.

The light cyan gauze shirt clung limply to her back, sliding all the way down from her slender back to her waist and buttocks.

Her round, perky buttocks were stuck high in the air, and her fleshy, long legs were casually draped over the edge, the snow-white, tender flesh swaying in a way that made Li Qingfeng swallow hard on the spot.

Li Qingfeng strode over and unceremoniously sat down beside her.

A pair of large, rough palms slid directly under the hem of her gauze shirt, accurately gripping her soft, plump, snake-like waist, and began to knead it with moderate pressure.

"Ah... knead lighter, it's very sore," Su Qingyue said coquettishly. Being soothed by the warm True Essence in his large hands, she couldn't help but moan in comfort.

Li Qingfeng sent Azure Wood Spiritual Power into her to relieve her fatigue, while his large hand very mischievously reached further down.

He grabbed and kneaded the tender, fair top of her thigh, which felt excellent to the touch, causing that patch of soft flesh to flush with an alluring rosy hue.

"You've worked hard, my wife. You've been running around with me for most of the day; this second child must have seen plenty of the world," Li Qingfeng said cheerfully.

Su Qingyue's body went limp from his touch, her breathing becoming slightly heavier.

She turned her head, glared at him with watery eyes, and chided: "Where are your hands reaching? You said you were massaging my waist, but now you're taking liberties again."

Her voice was soft and weak, the tail end carrying a deadly sweet, cloying tone that not only lacked any deterrence but instead seemed more like she was seducing him.

Li Qingfeng lowered his head and planted a firm kiss on her fair, fragrant neck, saying domineeringly: "What's wrong with me touching my own wife? Your body is getting softer and softer by the day; I really want to take you right now!"

Su Qingyue's face flushed crimson, but her body leaned honestly into his arms, letting this man do as he pleased with her. The atmosphere in the inner chamber suddenly became scorching hot.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The 'Spiritual Plant Companion Nourishing' rule in the New Courtyard was carried out faithfully every single day.

At noon that day, just after Li Qingfeng finished checking the accounts in the front hall, the Spirit Plant Steward rushed into the New Courtyard, holding two thick account books, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

The old man almost tripped over the threshold, his face flushed with excitement.

"Young Master Qingfeng! Great news! Great news!"

The Spirit Plant Steward shouted at the top of his lungs, slamming the account books onto the stone table, his fingers trembling as he pointed to the data on them.

"Take a look, quick! In these past three days, all those low-grade Spiritual Plant seedlings that Young Master Changqing came into contact with by the Seedling Spirit Pond, when later transplanted to the fields outside, had their survival rate jump by more than twenty percent!"

"A batch of Spirit-Returning Grass that was nearly withered has actually all come back to life!"

The steward widened his eyes, looking towards the inner chamber as if he were looking at a deity, his voice cracking.

"Young Master! This isn't just a baby, Young Master Changqing is simply the living ancestor of our Li Family's Spirit Medicine fields!"
