48: Chapter 48: Mu Hua Ningxiang astonishes everyone; the Wang family patriarch can no longer sit still.

This fragrance was not an ordinary medicinal scent; it was extremely light and gentle, composed entirely of the purest, mild Life Qi.

The closer one got to the Seedling Spirit Pond and the Fetal Protection Spirit Spring Well, the stronger this aura became.

Li Qingfeng strode over, placing his large, rough palm directly onto her soft, flat lower abdomen. He circulated the Azure Wood True Essence within his Dantian, activating his Vitality Perception to the fullest.

With this probe, his heart gave a violent jolt.

The source of this fragrance was truly, undeniably emanating from the faint Fetal Breath of the second child!

At the same time, the blue System panel in his mind exploded with a dazzling burst of golden light.

[Ding! The System has detected that the second child has revealed its first Innate sign!]

[Talent Name: Wood Essence Fragrance]

[System Detailed Explanation: Before the second child is even born, it is already capable of spontaneously gathering scattered Wood-attribute Spiritual Qi from its surroundings! These Spiritual Qi are purified through the Fetal Breath and emit a unique herbal fragrance through the mother. This talent has a Heaven-Defying boosting effect on the cultivation of high-grade Spirit Medicine and the practice of Alchemy. The Host must increase the nourishment intensity to provide the most top-tier gestation environment for the offspring!]

Li Qingfeng finished reading the explanation on the blue light screen carefully, his heart blossoming with joy.

The second one is going to be Heaven-Defying! The eldest is a natural prodigy at field cultivation, and the second one's ability to spontaneously gather and purify Qi means it will be able to handle both Alchemy and the cultivation of high-grade Spiritual Plants in the future!

This directly raised the potential development ceiling of the Li Clan by countless folds.

Su Qingyue sat on the edge of the wide bed, wearing a light, plain-colored silk dress.

The material was slippery, clinging tightly to her skin and perfectly outlining her scorching, life-takingly exquisite figure.

The two massive, heavy mounds of white flesh on her chest stretched the silk dress taut, and the snow-white, delicate, deep cleavage was exposed to the air without any concealment.

When she had bent her head to smell the fragrance earlier, those two plump, soft mounds had swayed violently up and down, which was incredibly dazzling.

Below her slender, soft waist, her two long, fair, tender, and fleshy legs were crossed casually, the plump, soft flesh pressed tightly together, glowing with an alluring pink flush.

"Wife, this fragrance is being created by this little one in your belly." Li Qingfeng sat down beside her, wrapping an arm around her slender waist that could barely be grasped, and his large hand unceremoniously squeezed her exquisite, long legs twice. "This little thing knows how to cherish its mother before it has even been born; the gathered Wood Spiritual Qi is perfect for nourishing your Water-Wood Meridians."

Su Qingyue's body went soft from his kneading, and she cast a coquettish glare at him. Her moist, peach-blossom eyes were filled with charm as she pouted, "Take your hand away; you only know how to take advantage of me all day. Is this child really that amazing?"

Li Qingfeng laughed aloud, "That's only natural; don't forget whose seed it is!"

Early the next morning.

Great Elder Li Yuanheng rushed into the New Courtyard, accompanied by the Second Elder and two veteran pharmacists.

As soon as they stepped into the inner hall, their footsteps halted simultaneously.

One of the veteran pharmacists sniffed hard, his old face flushed with excitement as he exclaimed, "Grand Elder! This is definitely not the scent of those mundane Spirit Medicines in our medicine storehouse; this is the purest herbal Life Qi!"

The Second Elder strode to the side of the Seedling Spirit Pond, his eyes widening like copper bells as he looked at the green leaf grass, which looked significantly more vibrant than it had the night before.

He turned to look at the Grand Elder and exclaimed in awe, "Big Brother, the first child can cultivate fields, and this second one can spontaneously gather Qi before it's even born! This time, our Li Clan has truly obtained a heaven-sent treasure!"

The Grand Elder stroked his white beard, his old eyes gleaming with sharp light.

Previously, some people in the clan had whispered privately, thinking that Li Changqing's talent was just a stroke of blind Luck.

Now that the second child had shown even stronger, more bizarre signs, such speculation had completely vanished.

Li Qingfeng being able to produce such exquisite offspring was definitely not some bullshit Luck; it was his solid, formidable Bloodline foundation!

"Pass on my order!" The Grand Elder turned around and issued a strict, ironclad command, "Add another layer of hidden arrays outside the New Courtyard! The inner medicine storehouse is to be cataloged independently immediately, and all high-grade nourishing Spirit Medicine in the clan is to be prioritized for Qingyue and the two children! Additionally, notify the Clan School to designate Changqing and this unborn second child as the core, and draft a separate cultivation method for 'Spiritual Plant Offspring'!"

Li Qingfeng stood to the side, cupping his hands in a salute, "Many thanks for the arrangements, Grand Elder."

He knew clearly in his heart that the Li Clan's upper echelon was completely betting on his household as the lifeline for the Li Clan's next hundred years.

By evening, the sky was gradually darkening.

Wang Clan Head Wang Chongyue personally came to visit.

The gifts Wang Chongyue brought this time were heavier than the ones Wang Qingluan had brought previously; several large wooden chests were placed directly in the Li Clan's front hall, filled with high-grade Wood-Warming Pills, top-tier array stones, and even two aged Spirit Gathering Grass seedlings.

He had definitely spared no expense.

The two of them took their seats as host and guest, and the servants brought in hot tea before withdrawing.

Wang Chongyue took a sip of tea, placed the cup heavily on the table, and got straight to the point, "Qingfeng, I believe all the rumors outside Qingshi Town regarding your second child. Our Wang and Li Clans are working together smoothly now, so I won't beat around the bush."

Wang Chongyue leaned forward and said bluntly, "The Wang Clan wants to form a deeper bond with the Li Clan. If the Li Clan doesn't mind, how about our two families become even closer through marriage? The daughters the Wang Clan marries off will certainly not go empty-handed; the dowry shops and distribution channels can all be put on the table!"

This old fox of the Wang Clan had ultimately brought the word "marriage alliance" right to his doorstep.

Wang Chongyue's calculations were very sharp.

Li Qingfeng's two children had such Heaven-Defying talents; if a Wang Clan female cultivator could marry in, the offspring produced could likewise boost the Wang Clan's Luck.

Li Qingfeng leaned back in the master chair, looking straight at Wang Chongyue, neither agreeing immediately nor refusing flatly.

He said in a deep voice, "Clan Head Wang, being able to form a marriage alliance with the Wang Clan is naturally a good thing. However, right now, Qingyue's second pregnancy hasn't completely stabilized, and the Qingyun Sect's new regulation assessment is hanging over our heads. It's too early to discuss marriage alliances. Let everyone show enough sincerity and hard cash; in the future, when the time is ripe, everything can be discussed."

This statement was watertight, drawing a clear bottom line: if the Wang Clan wanted good seed, they had to exchange it for tangible benefits, and they also had to wait for the Li Clan to stabilize the current situation.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chongyue was not angry; instead, he laughed aloud, "Good! You don't loose the hawk until you see the rabbit; the Wang Clan likes this steadiness of yours. Rest assured, the Wang Clan wants long-term benefits, and we will absolutely not cause you any trouble at this critical juncture."

As the night deepened, Wang Chongyue left in satisfaction.

Li Qingfeng strode back to the inner chamber of the New Courtyard.

The room was lit by bright Spirit Stone lamps, and that clear, moist herbal fragrance was even thicker than it had been during the day; taking a breath made one feel completely comfortable and relaxed.

Su Qingyue was sitting on the soft couch under the lamp, her onion-white fingers gently stroking her protruding lower abdomen.

She had changed into a bright red, form-fitting soft dress that clung to her skin, displaying her ripe, young matronly charm to the fullest.

Her slender, soft water-snake waist was tightly cinched by a belt, and below that, her round, exaggeratedly perky peach buttocks stretched the skirt into a provocative, fleshy curve.

The two astonishing, massive mounds of white flesh on her chest rose and fell violently with her breathing, and the deep, white, creamy cleavage exuded a deadly, soul-captivating sweet fragrance.

Li Qingfeng walked over and hugged her directly from behind, resting his chin heavily on her fair, tender neck, which emanated a natural body scent.

A pair of large, rough palms skillfully reached into the wide neckline, kneading the two massive, heavy, snow-white, creamy mounds of soft flesh with great force.

"Oh, stop it." Su Qingyue pouted coquettishly, her body leaning softly against his scorching chest, her voice crisp and charming to the extreme. "The Wang Clan Head came over so late; was it to discuss business?"

"Business is secondary; coveting your husband's body is the priority. The old fellow wants to shove Wang Clan women over for a marriage alliance; he even dared to call out dowry shops directly." Li Qingfeng said happily, his hands not stopping in the slightest as they wreaked havoc on the plump, smooth, soft flesh.

Su Qingyue was made to gasp repeatedly by his actions, casting a glance at him with her sparkling eyes, and asked coquettishly, "So, did you agree?"

"I want tangible benefits; he thinks he can climb onto a high branch with just a few words? Keep dreaming." Li Qingfeng bit her fair, fragrant shoulder domineeringly.

He raised his head, his gaze falling on several items on the desk.

There lay the Jade Slip of new regulations sent by the Qingyun Sect, the thick ledger of the Li Clan's spiritual fields, and the list of heavy gifts just left by the Wang Clan.

Li Qingfeng's mind turned rapidly, his thoughts clear.

The second child's Heaven-Defying talent, the Wang Clan's impatient desire for a marriage alliance, and the Qingyun Sect's requirement for a "proof of continuous development" assessment—these three matters were now all tightly intertwined.

For his next step, he had to play even harder!

He wanted to use the ladder of the Qingyun Sect's new regulations to turn this New Courtyard into an ironclad foundation that no one in the entire Li Clan, or even Qingshi Town, could bypass!
