112: The spiritual roots of offspring

This matter is not urgent. My eldest son, Xiao Yuan, is only three years old. He still has two and a half years until he turns six, so Liu Xuan can slowly perfect the entire martial Dao System.

This matter concerns the future of all of Liu Xuan's children, and also his own future, so he must plan it carefully.

The Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Body Refining Method's foundation will be combined with martial Dao to create a new martial Dao.

After the children learn the basic martial Dao, Liu Xuan will then combine the advanced parts to create a top-tier martial Dao Cultivation Technique for them to Cultivate.

Only by reaching a specific level can they receive instruction for the next level's Cultivation Technique.

This will both allow the children to progress better and prevent the Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Body Refining Method, an Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique, from being exposed.

An Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique!

This isn't a question of whether he's willing to give it up, but rather that Liu Xuan doesn't dare to directly teach it to every child.

Once an Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique is exposed to the powerful figures of the Cultivation world, Liu Xuan's current strength would only allow him to be slaughtered. At that time, he might not even be able to die if he wanted to.

Fortunately, Body Refining Cultivation Techniques are non-existent in this Cultivation world. Even if someone got their hands on the basic part, no one would understand it, and it would be even harder to directly discern its origin... One month later.

Lin Yiyi's child was born.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, your forty-second descendant has been born. Spiritual Root is Seventh-Grade, you have received 10 Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"It's actually a Seventh-Grade Spiritual Root!"

The System directly rewarded him with ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

He worked hard drawing talismans for a year and only earned at most twenty to thirty thousand Spirit Stones. The System's single gift was worth more than half a year of his work. It was an absolute windfall!

According to the System's gift pattern, a Seventh-Grade Spiritual Root is already so generous. What about Sixth-Grade, Fifth-Grade... or First-Grade?

Wouldn't that be Heaven-Defying!!

However, it's not that simple. Restricted by Liu Xuan's Ninth-Grade Spiritual Root, it would be difficult for his descendants' Spiritual Roots to Breakthrough to Sixth-Grade in the short term, unless they got extremely lucky.

Unfortunately, everything that can improve Spiritual Root Aptitude is of Heaven And Earth Treasure level. Even if Liu Xuan had money, it would be very difficult to buy them.

His strength wasn't enough; he wouldn't even dare to buy items of that caliber.

"Husband! We have a child."

Lin Yiyi looked at her son, a genuine smile on her face.

During this time, when she was bored, she often played with Liu Xuan's children, and she grew to like these little ones more and more.

Now, she finally had a child of her own!

Just thinking about him growing up and being able to play with his brothers and sisters made Lin Yiyi happy.

For the forty-first child, Liu Xuan named him: Liu Daohang, wishing him a smooth journey on his Dao.

A few days later.

Liu Qingqing also gave birth.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, your forty-third descendant has been born. You have received 10 Medium-Grade Spirit Stones!"

The goddess of fate did not favor this child; he didn't even have a Ninth-Grade Spiritual Root!

Liu Xuan did not show overly special treatment and still cared for both mother and child as usual.

The following month.

The two Cauldrons, Liu Sisi and Yang Rongrong, also gave birth. They were lucky, one boy and one girl, both with Ninth-Grade Spiritual Roots.

Afterward, the female Cultivator Concubines also gave birth one after another. By the end of the year, they had given birth to a total of eight descendants.

Five had Spiritual Roots, and three did not. The probability of having a Spiritual Root was over fifty percent, which was quite good luck.

Among the five descendants with Spiritual Roots, four had Ninth-Grade Spiritual Roots, and one had an Eighth-Grade Spiritual Root, which was average.

Besides the female Cultivator Concubines, the ordinary maids of Yongning Liu Mansion also gave birth to two children. One of them was lucky enough to have a Ninth-Grade Spiritual Root.

Five years!

"It's been five years!"

Liu Xuan sighed as he flipped through the roster of female Cultivators that Liu Qingqing had brought.

In five years, a total of fifty-four children were born, averaging less than one per month. It must be said, he's been a bit negligent... Especially in the last two years, the improvement in his Body Refining Cultivation has led to a decrease in fertility rates, and Liu Xuan also found that the female Cultivator Concubines who possessed Spiritual Roots had a relatively lower chance of getting pregnant.

For some female Cultivator Concubines with poor pregnancy luck, Liu Xuan went all out, giving his all and showing daily care, yet sometimes there was no sign of movement for a month.

It made Liu Xuan even think that someone was trying to take advantage of him and secretly using contraception.

To counter this, Liu Xuan first checked the female Cultivator Concubines' bodies to confirm if it was a physical issue.

Then, based on each Concubine's situation, he reduced the benefits before pregnancy and increased them after pregnancy.

And the most important point was not to put all his eggs in one basket. Unless there were special circumstances, the same Concubine should be cared for at most once every three days!

The ordinary maids in Yongning also needed occasional attention. Although the probability of their descendants having Spiritual Roots was not high, they could at least contribute to the total number.

"Just these six! You arrange the matters."

Liu Xuan closed the booklet and instructed Liu Qingqing, who was standing beside him.

Just like last year, Liu Xuan still only selected six Concubines this year.

The number of women was growing, and many had already met the conditions for a second child, so the demand for female Cultivator Concubines naturally decreased.

"Yes!"

Liu Qingqing put away the booklet and went to bring the people over.

"Dad! I've come to see you."

As soon as Liu Qingqing left, a fair and tender little boy ran in from the doorway.

The little boy had delicate features and fair skin. One could tell at a glance that he would be a handsome young man when he grew up.

"Xiao Cheng, slow down! If you fall, your mother will still spank you!"

A woman in red followed closely, entering the room. Lin Anqi's expression was a mix of playful annoyance and anger, exuding a unique charm.

"Dad! Save me, Mom is going to hit me."

Daocheng laughed and pounced into Liu Xuan's arms, his face showing no sign of fear.

"Dad can't save you!"

Liu Xuan pulled him out of his embrace and said with a smile, "Your mother is angry. She even hits your dad."

The maid Xiao Yue also arrived, holding the hand of a quiet little girl.

The girl Ling Hui, who was the fifth in line, was naturally introverted and shy. She held her mother Xiao Yue's hand tightly and softly called out to Liu Xuan, "Dad!"

"It's Xiao Hui, come, Dad will hug you!"

Liu Xuan pulled his son Xiao Cheng aside and picked up the girl Xiao Hui.

This girl, Xiao Hui, was quiet, intelligent, and sensible. Liu Xuan liked her very much.

"Let's go! We're going to test your Spiritual Roots."

Liu Xuan, holding his daughter, and Lin Anqi, holding her son Xiao Cheng, headed towards the Spell Hall.

These two children were also three years old. Lin Anqi brought them this time for Liu Xuan to take them to test their Spiritual Roots.

"Dad!"

"What is a Spiritual Root?"

"Mom told me that only with a Spiritual Root can one Cultivate. What is Cultivating?"

Xiao Cheng, unable to sit still, asked like a curious baby.

"Didn't your mother explain it clearly to you?" Liu Xuan asked in return.

"Mom..."

Xiao Cheng carefully glanced at Lin Anqi and then boldly said, "Mom doesn't know either. When I asked her, she even wanted to hit me... Ouch!"

"Dad!"

"Save me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he got a slap on his bottom, which made Liu Xuan chuckle.

Spell Hall.

Liu Xuan was here again. The Disciple responsible for testing Spiritual Roots was familiar with the procedure and, without being told, immediately brought out the Spiritual Root testing mirror.

"Xiao Hui, you go first!"

Liu Xuan held back Xiao Cheng, who was trying to push forward.

Ten breaths later.

The Spiritual Root testing mirror showed no reaction; there was no Spiritual Root.

It was Xiao Cheng's turn. As he looked into the mirror, a layer of spiritual light slowly emerged, forming a circle.

"Hmm?"

"A single spiritual ring has condensed, a Ninth-Grade Spiritual Root. Congratulations!"

The Disciple of the Enforcement Hall cupped his hands and said.
