468: Tianling Water and Lotion

Su Yunfeng carefully sensed toward the courtyard; there was indeed an extremely tiny Mental Energy present, one that was very immature and green.

It really is!

The joy on his face intensified.

“Greetings, Old Ancestor!”

At this moment, Su Hao walked out, his face filled with respect.

Su Yunfeng’s expression immediately became kind and pleasant. He raised his hand and tossed over a Spatial Ring. “The child in Qianqian's womb should be born soon. I obtained this Heavenly Spirit Aqua-Milk by chance countless years ago. Although the amount isn't large, it should be enough.”

“Use this to nourish the pregnancy.”

Heavenly Spirit Aqua-Milk!

Hearing these words, Su Hao’s face was instantly filled with shock. This item was an extremely precious pure energy that was of immense help to Cultivators.

Furthermore, because it possessed Innate power, while the energy was pure, it was not violent, making it perfect for a fetus.

Su Hao did not reach out to take it. Instead, he said with a solemn expression:

“Old Ancestor, wasn't this something you intended to use for your Breakthrough to the Profound Immortal Realm? If it's given to the child in Qianqian's womb now, what will you do when you try to break through?”

Su Yunfeng shook his head. “This item isn't of that much help to me; it's optional at best.”

These words were the truth.

Breaking through from Profound Immortal to Golden Immortal wasn't something that could be succeeded by relying on this Heavenly Spirit Aqua-Milk alone. When he had gone to great lengths to obtain it back then, he only wanted to increase his success rate slightly.

However, that increase in success rate was likely less than one percent.

The main issue was that there was too little Heavenly Spirit Aqua-Milk. It might be plenty for a fetus, but for a Cultivator at the Perfection of the Profound Immortal Realm like him, it was a mere drop in the bucket.

Su Yunfeng continued, speaking in a heavy tone, “Take good care of the child in Qianqian's womb. Do not let any mishaps occur.”

Although Jueyang City was relatively peaceful and his Su Family had no enemies, once this news spread, there was no guarantee that no one would try to harm the two unborn children.

Therefore, he did not reveal the full truth.

Hearing this, Su Hao’s expression also became solemn. The Old Ancestor usually never concerned himself with Su Family matters and spent all his time in secluded cultivation.

Coming out today specifically to give instructions and even gifting the Heavenly Spirit Aqua-Milk—it seemed like something significant was happening no matter how one looked at it.

Could my child be a peerless Genius?

A look of doubt flashed in Su Hao’s eyes. This seemed to be the only explanation; otherwise, why would the Old Ancestor place such importance on it?

And a Genius that even the Old Ancestor valued would definitely not be simple.

Su Hao didn't ask further. He bowed and said, “Yes.”

“However, Old Ancestor, a few days ago I had someone check Qianqian's belly. It seems there isn't just one child, but twins.”

Twins?

Su Yunfeng’s brow furrowed instantly. He didn't show much joy; instead, he looked somewhat worried.

If they were ordinary twins, it would be fine, but there was a Genius in that womb. Since it was a Genius, the energy required would surely be immense.

This meant there was a high probability that after the two were born, they would both have severe Innate deficiencies.

Innate deficiencies were extremely difficult to make up for in the Acquired stage; it would require an incredibly Heaven-Defying treasure.

Su Yunfeng sighed. He said nothing more and simply turned to leave.

Su Hao was no fool and naturally understood many things.

A look of worry flashed in his eyes.

From his perspective as a father, he naturally hoped both children would be healthy and whole. When the twins were first detected, he had already decided that once they were born, he would never favor one over the other.

But if things were truly as he suspected, wouldn't one child definitely be inferior to the other?

Thinking of this, Su Hao showed a helpless expression.

This kind of situation was very hard for him to resolve.

For now, he would let nature take its course. He could only wait and see which child had the Innate deficiency and then compensate them in other ways later.

Soon.

The unborn Su Chen detected that he was surrounded by a surge of incredibly pure energy.

An Innate spiritual item?

Su Chen was somewhat surprised. It seemed his parents in this life valued them quite a bit, even willing to bring out something like this.

However... I don't really need this kind of thing.

He had plenty of Innate spiritual items in his System inventory—more than he could ever use.

Besides, Su Chen had already planned how to live this life.

Low-key!

He would just wait until he could Sign-in with the System.

Before returning to the past, he didn't intend to attract too much attention to avoid unnecessary complications.

So being ordinary was fine. Su Chen even planned to just act like a piece of trash and peacefully lie flat within the Su Family, letting his younger sister take all the spotlight.

Of course.

Low-key as he might be, he still needed to improve his strength.

The Great Dao of Time was also a Dao he had to master; otherwise, it would be difficult to contend with that person. Beyond that, Su Chen needed to control other trump cards.

As Su Chen thought, he directly repelled the Heavenly Spirit Aqua-Milk from his body.

Immortal Emperor Yueling was originally asleep. Her Mental Energy wasn't as powerful as Su Chen's, so she spent most of her time sleeping, only waking up occasionally.

She instinctively absorbed most of the Heavenly Spirit Aqua-Milk.

The aura fluctuations on her body became increasingly powerful. The stronger one was at the Innate stage, the higher their achievements would be—this was common knowledge almost everyone knew.

After an unknown amount of time passed like this, Immortal Emperor Yueling's Mental Energy woke up again.

“Hmm? This is... Heavenly Spirit Aqua-Milk?”

“Not bad. These cheap parents of mine could actually get their hands on such an Innate treasure. It seems they have some capability after all.”

“Good, good. Although this Empress had already made perfect preparations and didn't really need this, having this Heavenly Spirit Aqua-Milk is better than nothing.”

“I'll accept the sentiment. This Empress will definitely reward you well in the future.”

But soon, she noticed her quiet 'younger brother' beside her.

Almost eighty percent of that Heavenly Spirit Aqua-Milk had been absorbed by her, and the remaining twenty percent was also on her side. Su Chen couldn't absorb any of it at all.

“Ah?”

“Oh no, oh no! How did I absorb all of this Heavenly Spirit Aqua-Milk? Even the Innate Essence in this womb is almost gone. Did I absorb it all?”

“This is bad. Won't my younger brother be born with an Innate deficiency?”

Immortal Emperor Yueling was full of self-reproach. For her, who had no family in her previous life, she viewed family as very important in this life.

If her younger brother had an Innate deficiency because of her, she would feel regret and guilt for a lifetime.

The key was that she didn't really lack such things; she also had ways to compensate for an Innate deficiency.

When she underwent Rebirth, she left her most important possessions in the deepest part of her Divine Soul's Sea of Consciousness. Once her Realm rose, she would be able to unlock everything inside.

This Rebirth was mainly to compensate for her deficiencies in terms of the Dao.

The Physical Body aspect wasn't actually that important.

Immortal Emperor Yueling was very anxious, but as she was currently just a fetus in the womb, she couldn't do anything. She could only control herself to stop absorbing.

However, this state didn't last long before she fell back into a deep sleep due to excessive Mental Energy consumption...
