176: One hundred and eight, Liu Daogang!

In the end, it was Oldest Son Eldest Son who swam over first to help. Old Sixth Son Dao Ming, Old Seventh Son Dao Shun, Old Ninth Son Ninth Son, and Old Tenth Son Dao Ping, along with several other skilled individuals, joined forces to exhaust the spiritual fish's strength before finally dragging it onto the boat.

"Dad! Why didn't you come help me just now?"

Daocheng, his face flushed, angrily questioned Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan, suppressing a laugh, said sternly, "Your dad here was testing you! If you can't even handle a mere fish, how will you become a Sword Immortal in the future?"

"Also, just now, you brothers cooperated with each other and finally subdued the spiritual fish. Your father is teaching you to be united; when brothers are of one mind, they can exert greater strength!"

"Is that so?" Daocheng rubbed the back of his head, looking at Liu Xuan with suspicion, "Then why do I feel like you were laughing, Dad?"

Liu Xuan's mouth twitched. "You must have seen wrong! Your father here is feeling relieved for you."

"Alright! Hurry up and continue catching fish, or there won't be enough to eat tonight."

Liu Xuan quickly sent him away, afraid he would burst out laughing at his son's red and swollen face.

Aren't children born to be played with? Previously, Liu Xuan needed to Cultivate, draw talismans, and handle various miscellaneous tasks, leaving him no time to play with his children.

Now that his Cultivation had reached Foundation Establishment, his original Cultivation time was replaced by Dual Cultivation, Spirit Stones were abundant, he didn't need to draw talismans every day, Yongning was stable, and he wasn't entangled with miscellaneous affairs. He was quite happy to spend time playing with his children every day.

Bloodline and money cannot replace companionship. Liu Xuan didn't simply treat his children as experience babies or tools.

Evening.

The Fledgling Eagle Courtyard, bustling all day, quieted down. Having played excitedly all day, the children went to bed early, and most Concubines also returned to their own rooms.

Master bedroom.

Lin Xue'er leaned in Liu Xuan's arms. "Husband, do you still remember the scene of our first meeting back then?"

Liu Xuan nodded, looking down at her. "I remember, what's wrong?"

Lin Xue'er's lips curved slightly. "At that time, you were just a Dao Academy student who failed the outer sect assessment, with not a single silver coin in your pocket, looking utterly pitiful!"

She fell into memories. Although Liu Xuan was down and out at the time, he had deeply imprinted himself in her mind.

"So that's what Xue'er thought back then! You didn't talk much at the time, I thought you were shy seeing my handsome face!"

Lin Xue'er playfully patted Liu Xuan, continuing to immerse herself in her memories.

"Initially, I thought we would live a plain life, and if we were lucky, have one or two children with Spiritual Roots. That would have been Perfection for this life. How could I have imagined today's situation!"

"Oh right! Ling Meng will be three years old this year. I wonder if she has a Spiritual Root?"

"If she still doesn't have a Spiritual Root..." Lin Xue'er hugged Liu Xuan tighter, "Then I'll just keep having children!"

"Don't worry!" Liu Xuan gently stroked her soft, smooth hair. "Ling Meng definitely has a Spiritual Root."

"She's not even three yet, and you're comforting me again!" Lin Xue'er pouted playfully.

Liu Xuan knew that Lin Xue'er had a deep obsession with having a child with a Spiritual Root. Eldest Son and Dao Ping both lacked Spiritual Roots, which caused her to feel depressed and hindered her Martial Artist Cultivation from breaking through to Innate Middle Stage.

"I'm not comforting you, but I have a premonition that Ling Meng will definitely have a Spiritual Root!"

"You know, my premonitions are usually very accurate and rarely wrong."

"Besides, what if she doesn't have a Spiritual Root? Look at Oldest Son Eldest Son; his Martial Dao talent is so high, and with my support, he will definitely be able to Breakthrough to Innate Great Perfection, Breakthrough to Late Qi Refining Stage. What's the difference from having a Spiritual Root?"

Lin Xue'er's eyes slightly brightened. Oldest Son Eldest Son's Martial Dao talent was indeed exaggerated, and with Liu Xuan's full cultivation and abundant resources, the possibility of him Breaking through to Innate Great Perfection was indeed not small.

"Alright! Don't overthink it, let your husband help you Cultivate!"

Liu Xuan exerted a little force, letting her be on top... Lin Xue'er Cultivated the Martial Dao. If Liu Xuan's understanding of the Dual Cultivation secret art wasn't deep enough, he really wouldn't be able to help her Cultivate.

Lin Xue'er was truly different to Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan genuinely helped her Cultivate, hoping she would Breakthrough to Innate Great Perfection as soon as possible.

For this reason, Liu Xuan even decided not to let her have children in the near future, simply helping her Cultivate.

This treatment was only for her and Lin Anqi, the sisters; other Concubines didn't have it.

If they wanted Liu Xuan to help them Cultivate, they had to have children, otherwise, the frequency of him choosing them would decrease.

Yes! It was like choosing a card. If they wanted Liu Xuan's affection, they now had to queue... Since the news that the Dual Cultivation secret art could aid Cultivation spread, the Concubines' enthusiasm significantly increased. After several conflicts arose from vying for favor, they spontaneously came up with the method of choosing cards and queuing.

Among Liu Xuan's Concubines, their treatment and stipends were not the same. It was not only related to their beauty and conditions but also to the number, talent, and Martial Dao performance of their children.

For those ordinary Concubines, the best way to improve their status was to have an outstanding child, and then the mother would gain prestige through her child.

Now, Liu Xuan could also assist in Cultivation, and once pregnant, their status could also be improved, so their enthusiasm naturally soared... Three months later.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of his 108th descendant, a seventh-grade Spiritual Root, receiving 1 foundation establishment pill.】

One hundred and eight children now!

In the past six months, out of these eight children, five had Spiritual Roots, and three did not. One of the children without a Spiritual Root was from an ordinary Martial Artist Concubine. The probability of children having Spiritual Roots had significantly increased.

However, they were basically ninth-grade and eighth-grade. This child with a seventh-grade Spiritual Root today was considered one of the luckier ones.

'I took a foundation establishment pill when I Broke through to Foundation Establishment before. Now the System immediately rewards another one. The restocking speed is quite fast!'

"One hundred and eight Liangshan heroes, one hundred and eight Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, hmm... you shall be named Liu Dao Gang!"

Liu Xuan originally planned to give his children generational names, boys starting with 'Dao' and girls starting with 'Ling', and change the character once they reached one hundred.

But he found that when the number of children reached one hundred, only ten years had passed, and Oldest Son Eldest Son was not even ten years old yet, which was a bit too early.

Therefore, he temporarily decided not to change it, thinking that changing it every twenty years would be more reasonable.

This could no longer be considered a generational name; it was just that there were too many children, making it easier to name them and distinguish their ages.

As for the true generational names for future descendants, Liu Xuan was not considering it for now. It wouldn't be too late to consider it when the first grandchild was born.

If the System's synchronized Cultivation was effective for grandchildren, Liu Xuan wouldn't mind putting some effort into arranging a generational name. If it was ineffective... then he would just go with the flow! Just make a Family tree to record it.

The Liu Family of Cultivators, if nothing unexpected happened, he, the Old Ancestor, would never die. It was destined to be different from a mortal Family, so there was no need to follow the mortal Family's ways.

The child's mother was a delicate and pretty Junior Sister, who became Liu Xuan's Concubine last year. This was her first child.

Her name was Chen Wenjin, and she had a quiet personality, disliking fighting and killing, preferring only to plant spiritual plants.

At this moment, her delicate brows were slightly furrowed; she was not very satisfied with the character 'Gang' that Liu Xuan had chosen for her son's name.
