110: Ten spiritual root descendants, Qingmu Changsheng Gong

“It's one thing if Wang Qiao luckily succeeded in Core Formation!”

“If he fails Core Formation, based on my understanding of True Person Xiao, he definitely won't give up. He'll probably pay an even greater price to help Wang Qiao achieve Core Formation. At that point, the situation will be hard for me to predict.”

After listening to Lin Qingyun's explanation, Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and asked, “Revered Master, if Old Ancestor Wang fails Core Formation, will the Sect still exist?”

“Of course!”

“As long as True Person Xiao is alive, the Red Pine Sect cannot be destroyed!”

Lin Qingyun said without hesitation.

“That's good, that's good!”

Receiving Lin Qingyun's assurance, Liu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was as he thought: as long as True Person Xiao didn't die, the Red Pine Sect would remain, at most it would just be a bit chaotic!

“Good?”

“Boy, are you not clear about the situation?”

Lin Qingyun frowned, saying, “Leaving aside whether the chaos will affect your Cultivation, in forty years, True Person Xiao's lifespan will end, and I will no longer be here. When the Heavenly Sword Sect's new Golden Core Sect Master takes over the Sect with his Disciples and clansmen, what will you do?”

“At that time, decades of your efforts will instantly become someone else's. Are you willing to hand it over?”

A new Golden Core Sect Master taking over the Sect wouldn't just come alone; he would bring an entire leadership team.

At that time, everyone in the Red Pine Sect, from top to bottom, would be replaced. Even those wanting to pledge allegiance would have to see if there were any positions available.

If True Person Xiao didn't cause trouble, it would be fine. But if he ravaged the Red Pine Sect's territory before his lifespan ended, leaving a mess for the new Golden Core, there would undoubtedly be a purge.

“Revered Master, rest assured! In forty years, this Disciple will be over sixty. If I haven't achieved a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough by then, it won't matter where I go!”

“However, if this Disciple is lucky enough to achieve Foundation Establishment, even if I can't stay in the Sect, securing a place on the border shouldn't be a problem!”

This time, it was Lin Qingyun's turn to be surprised!

“Ambitious! I underestimated you.”

Liu Xuan directly considered the problem from the perspective of being able to achieve a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough, not thinking about what would happen if he couldn't... He had always thought Liu Xuan was obsessed with women and lacked ambition, but it seemed he had misunderstood.

No wonder Liu Xuan spent so much thought and energy managing Yongning; it turned out he had long-term plans!

No matter how many people the new Golden Core Immortal Revered Master brought, they could only take over the Sect and its surroundings. Local county towns like Yongning would still have to be governed by the various Cultivation Families.

Taking advantage of the Sect's chaos to seize border territory – this boy actually thought so far ahead!

Now, the Sect was in an awkward period. These Foundation Establishment Cultivators couldn't easily act, lest they cause True Person Xiao to misunderstand. It was indeed possible that Liu Xuan could seize this opportunity!

'No wonder this boy even dared to provoke Xiao Ran!'

Lin Qingyun knew some things about Liu Xuan in Yongning, including becoming True Person Xiao Ran's confidant.

He had thought Liu Xuan was simply audacious due to lust, but now it seemed this matter was probably also part of his plan.

“Since you're unwilling, then so be it!”

Lin Qingyun looked at Liu Xuan, nodded, and said with satisfaction, “Go ahead boldly, I will secretly lend you a hand.”

“???”

'Do what?'

Liu Xuan felt a chill in his heart from Lin Qingyun's strange gaze. He didn't ask further, obeyed, and withdrew.

Watching Liu Xuan's departing back, Lin Qingyun sighed softly, “Being young is so good! You dare to think anything, dare to do anything, and everything has hope...”

...One month later.

Talisman Master's Small Courtyard.

The long-legged, sexy beauty Yuan Fei was about to give birth.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of his fortieth offspring, receiving one first-tier mid-grade qi gathering pill * 1】

'Ah?!'

Yuan Fei's child actually had no Spiritual Root, which was a bit unexpected for Liu Xuan!

This month, two children born to ordinary maidservants at Liu Mansion in Yongning also had no Spiritual Roots.

Now, even the child born to Yuan Fei, who had a Seventh-Grade Spiritual Root and was at the second layer of Qi Refining, had no Spiritual Root. How unlucky!

'Even if it was just a Ninth-Grade Spirit Root, that would be good!'

If this child had a Spiritual Root, it would be the tenth child with a Spiritual Root, guaranteeing an achievement reward. Liu Xuan had waited for so long, only to get this result!

'Forget it!'

'Maintain a normal mindset!'

It was normal for children not to have Spiritual Roots even if both parents did.

Liu Xuan quickly adjusted his emotions and entered with a smile to check on the mother and daughter.

Ten days later.

Jiang Xiaoyou was also about to give birth!

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of his forty-first offspring, an Eighth-Grade Spiritual Root, receiving one second-tier Low Grade Storage Pouch * 1】

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for having ten Spiritual Root offspring, achieving: 'Hope of the Immortal Clan', receiving a third-tier top-grade Qi Refining Cultivation Technique: Green Wood Longevity Art.】

【Green Wood Longevity Art: A Five Elements wood-attribute Qi Refining Cultivation Technique. The Cultivation Technique is upright and peaceful, with long-lasting magical power and fast recovery speed. Special effect: Longevity, can increase a Cultivator's lifespan by thirty percent. Disadvantage: Slow Cultivation speed, ordinary combat ability.】

A third-tier top-grade Cultivation Technique! This meant it could be Cultivated to the Golden Core Perfection Realm.

'The reward is just average!'

When Lin Xue'er was pregnant, the System directly gave the Heaven Swallowing Body Refining Method, an Immortal Rank Body Refining method.

Now, an achievement reward that was so hard to achieve was only third-tier top-grade. Liu Xuan was quite disappointed!

'Is this dog System deliberately trying to suppress me?'

'I hate having my Realm suppressed the most... I dream of being invincible!'

“Husband, you haven't named our child yet?”

Seeing Liu Xuan holding their daughter and lost in thought for a long time, Jiang Xiaoyou softly reminded him.

“Hmm...”

Liu Xuan came back to his senses, collected his thoughts, and pondered for a while. Having no ideas, he said:

“How about you, Xiaoyou, name our daughter?”

“Me?”

Jiang Xiaoyou frowned and thought for a while, “I... I can't think of anything?”

She was the type of person who hesitated and struggled with decisions. Although she had many ideas in her head, she felt none of them were suitable.

“Then let's call her Liu Lingqing!”

Liu Xuan made the decision directly. There was no special meaning; it was simply taking the 'Qing' character from the Green Wood Longevity Art... Cultivation Chamber.

Liu Xuan now had another Storage Pouch in his hand. Using two Storage Pouches was quite luxurious!

Putting away the Storage Pouch, Liu Xuan's consciousness clicked on a green tree-shaped light image in his Sea of Consciousness.

“Boom~”

Vast information surged into Liu Xuan's mind. He felt as if he had become a towering tree in a primeval forest, with endless life energy filling his body.

Inside his Dantian, the pure Yang magical power refined by the Three Yang Body Gathering Method slowly rotated. A faint greenish-blue light was born, then rapidly spread until his entire Dantian was a greenish-blue color.

The magical power nourished his Divine Soul in reverse. A cool, clear sensation flooded his Divine Soul, and Liu Xuan felt his entire being ascend!

An hour later.

Liu Xuan's Divine Soul finished receiving the Cultivation Technique information. He carefully felt the changes in his Dantian, magical power, and Divine Soul, and he was completely stunned.

The Cultivation Technique rewarded by the System was actually directly instilled, meaning he had instantly learned all the content for his current Cultivation Realm.

In the future, when his Cultivation Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage, subsequent insights would automatically appear, eliminating the need to spend effort studying the Cultivation Technique.

Not only that, but something even more shocking to Liu Xuan was that the magical power in his Dantian could actually be directly transformed, which was equivalent to simultaneously Cultivating two Qi Refining Cultivation Techniques!

'Cultivators can only Cultivate one Cultivation Technique, and changing Cultivation Techniques can only be done by switching completely. Isn't that common knowledge? Why is this happening?'
