36: Chapter 36 Liu Ruyan is pregnant, a rare phenomenon occurs at birth!

The birth of Gu Yue brought endless joy to the Gu Family.

And half a month later, even greater joyous news arrived once more.

The Third Lady, Liu Ruyan, was also diagnosed by Dr. Zhang as being nearly two months pregnant!

The continuous stream of happy events caused the entire Gu Family residence to be completely immersed in an ocean of jubilation.

The faces of the servants and maids were all beaming with smiles of shared honor.

In their eyes, after the Old Ancestor "regained his youth" and achieved Immortal Ascension, the Family was blessed with good fortune and a flourishing lineage!

This was precisely the sign of the Family's great prosperity!

Gu Yan was even more overjoyed.

He practically took all the best supplements available in the residence and piled them all at once into Liu Ruyan's room.

However, as the months progressed, Gu Yan gradually discovered something unusual.

When ordinary women are pregnant, most experience morning sickness symptoms such as loss of appetite, physical fatigue, and even incessant vomiting.

Shen Qingxue and Bai Linger had both suffered quite a bit back then.

But Liu Ruyan...

Not only did she have no discomfort, but she also had an excellent appetite, was full of energy every day, had a complexion so rosy it seemed like water could be squeezed out, and her skin was even smoother and more delicate than before.

If it weren't for her belly growing day by day, one would not be able to tell she was pregnant at all.

What surprised Gu Yan even more was that he discovered Liu Ruyan's cultivation, after becoming pregnant, had actually started to grow slowly and autonomously!

Ever since her Dual Cultivation with Gu Yan, the Profound Yin Qi in Liu Ruyan's body had been channeled, and under Gu Yan's guidance, she had embarked on the path of cultivation, barely counting as a Cultivator at the First Level of Qi Refining.

But after becoming pregnant, even though she no longer engaged in Dual Cultivation with Gu Yan and only went about her daily routine, the True Qi within her body continued to circulate and strengthen on its own!

This situation was completely beyond Gu Yan's scope of understanding.

[Beep! High energy reaction detected! Warning! The fetus in the host's partner is autonomously absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!]

In his mind, the System's voice suddenly rang out excitedly.

[Host, hurry! Quickly use your Divine Sense to sense your wife's belly!]

Gu Yan's heart stirred, and he hurriedly sent a wisp of his Divine Sense cautiously into Liu Ruyan's room.

Indeed!

He clearly "saw" that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surrounding the cultivation chamber, invisible to the naked eye, was turning into trickling streams, passing silently through the walls, and slowly flowing into Liu Ruyan's highly distended abdomen!

It was as if a small, yet infinitely attractive vortex existed there!

[My god! My god!] The System's voice was already so excited it was becoming incoherent.

[This... this is the legendary 'Spirit Fetus Self-Nurturing'! Ordinary fetuses in the womb only absorb the mother's essence and blood. But this son of yours... no, this little one, hasn't even been born yet, and it has already begun to instinctively inhale and exhale Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!]

[Host! We're set! This wave... we're truly set! SSR! This is absolutely an SSR-level peerless Genius!]

[My bonus for this quarter... no, my year-end bonus for the second half of the year, it all depends on him!]

Gu Yan's heart began to beat violently due to this excited "popular science" from the System.

He knew his initial judgment had not been wrong!

The Profound Yin Body was indeed... extraordinary!

His unborn child was destined... to shock all of Luoyun Town!

Time quietly slipped away in such waiting, filled with anticipation and wonder.

Ten months of pregnancy, and the day of delivery arrived.

When the day of Liu Ruyan's labor finally arrived.

The phenomenon became even more pronounced!

Early that morning, before dawn, the sky above the entire Gu Family residence was shrouded by an inexplicable pressure.

The air seemed to have become viscous.

The scattered Cultivators in town who had risen early and were meditating and breathing Qi all opened their eyes in shock at almost the same time!

They discovered with shock that the Spiritual Qi, which should have flowed freely between Heaven and Earth, seemed to be under some kind of invisible, overbearing traction, and began to uncontrollably gather frantically in the same direction—the sky above the Gu Family residence!

Very soon, a huge, visible white vortex composed of pure Spiritual Qi slowly formed directly above the Gu Family residence!

"What is that?!"

"Heavens! It's a Spiritual Qi vortex! With such a massive gathering of Spiritual Qi, could it be... could it be that some peerless treasure is about to be born in the Gu Family?!"

"Hurry! Go and see!"

The few Cultivators at the Qi Refinement Stage in town all had fanatical eyes, and they all flew toward the direction of the Gu Family residence in unison.

Inside the Gu Family residence, they had long been prepared for battle.

Gu Yan stood in the center of the courtyard with a solemn expression, looking up at the huge vortex in the sky that almost covered the entire residence, his heart filled with immense shock.

He knew this was not some treasure being born.

But rather, his wife, who possessed the [Profound Yin Body], was about to give birth to a... destined-to-be-extraordinary Qilin child for him!

He immediately activated the simple Misleading Formation he had prepared for a long time, which he had found in the Wang Family treasury.

Hum—

An invisible ripple spread out, centering on the Gu Family residence.

The Cultivators rushing in from the outside discovered with shock that the Gu Family residence ahead seemed to be shrouded by a layer of thick fog, and no matter how they probed, they could no longer see anything inside.

"Damn it! It's a Formation!"

"The Gu Family... truly has a deep foundation!"

They could only stop outside the Formation unwillingly, yet they were unwilling to leave, and could only watch the phenomenon in the sky from afar.

"Ah—!"

Just at this moment, an irrepressible, painful roar from Liu Ruyan came from the delivery room.

Accompanied by her roar, the huge Spiritual Qi vortex in the sky also began to fluctuate and rotate violently!

It was as if it were gathering strength along with her!

Gu Yan's heart jumped into his throat.

He knew the final moment had arrived!
