199: Twins, two third-grade spiritual root children

Peng Jiayu was talking pure nonsense. The Peach Blossom Sect served as a buffer zone between the Azure Profound Sect and the Endless Great Mountain Demon Court. Nominally, it still submitted to the Azure Profound Sect and paid taxes. This state had continued for who knows how many years; how could they possibly start a fight suddenly?

The current Sect Master of the Peach Blossom Sect was the Peach Blossom Demon Lord. She had been at the Late Nascent Soul Stage for many years. Unless a Soul Transformation Old Ancestor took action personally, no one else could claim a guaranteed victory.

Moreover, once war broke out, the Peach Blossom Sect would immediately defect to the Demon Court. If the Azure Profound Sect continued to attack, it would trigger a war that benefited no one.

The overall strength of the Endless Great Mountain Demon Court was slightly stronger than the Azure Profound Sect, but it had too many diverse races internally with extreme conflicts, making it impossible to concentrate its power.

If the Azure Profound Sect attacked the Endless Great Mountains and started a war, it would only prompt the integration of the Demon Court, which would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

Seeing that Liu Xuan's expression was off, Peng Jiayu put down her wine cup and continued to explain, "There is more than one rumor. I have also heard people say that the Yao Race might invade the territory of our Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Sect sent us here to gather intelligence!"

"There are also people saying that the Peach Blossom Demon Lord intends to return to the Demon Court, and the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect will not agree..."

Well, great! After all that, it was all rumors, and the various pieces of news contradicted each other. Clearly, she didn't know anything.

There was nothing left to talk about. After brushing her off for a while, Liu Xuan sent her away.

Sitting alone in the courtyard, Liu Xuan poured himself a cup of wine, his thoughts flying.

'War shouldn't be possible; otherwise, True Person Xiao wouldn't be sitting still, and the Heavenly Sword Sect wouldn't have sent just one Foundation Establishment Cultivator.'

'Both sides are very restrained and haven't made any excessive moves. It looks more like they are preparing for something.'

'Forget it! Let's focus on development. As long as my strength improves, I can handle any situation.'

...

The next day.

Liu Xuan took Xia He back to White Crane Lake, leaving only some servants at the Liu Family residence to take care of it.

Since there was a Foundation Establishment Ancestor in the county town, there was no point in Xia He continuing to stay there. It was better to give the other party some Face and concede most of the authority in the county town to them.

Now, most of Liu Xuan's power was at White Crane Lake, and the scale of the Merchant Alliance market by the lake was not much worse than the county town.

A few months later.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of the 162nd offspring. Spiritual Root is Fifth-grade. Obtained one bottle of foundation establishment pill.]

A bottle?!

A bottle meant ten pills, a full ten foundation establishment pills!

Added to the one pill the System previously rewarded, Liu Xuan had a total of eleven. The Red Pine Sect might not even release so many foundation establishment pills in ten years; it was simply exaggerated.

"Congratulations, Master! It's a little Young Master!" The Liu Family's dedicated midwife smiled and came out to offer congratulations.

Liu Xuan hadn't moved yet, but a ten or eleven-year-old little girl beside him had already rushed into the room.

"Mother!"

Liu Lingyue rushed to the bedside, curiously examining the newborn baby in Yan Qingyao's arms.

Seeing her eyes light up, Yan Qingyao handed her son to her, "Isn't your brother cute? You can play with him later!"

Lingyue carefully held her brother in her arms. The little guy was indeed cute; he was especially pink and tender when just born, like a porcelain doll.

Lingyue usually followed Aunt Miao to take care of her younger brothers and sisters. She especially liked these babies under three years old who weren't naughty yet. Now, she finally had one of her own.

"Father! Look, he's so well-behaved!" Lingyue held her brother to show Liu Xuan, who had just walked in.

Seeing her happy appearance, Liu Xuan shook his head. Given Yan Qingyao's personality, she definitely wouldn't have time to take care of the child later and would most likely dump him on her eldest daughter to raise.

Lingyue was happy now, but he didn't know if she would be annoyed by the little guy after a while.

But it didn't matter. If it really didn't work out, she could send him to her sister, Liu Miao, to raise. She was a professional with rich experience in raising children, and she had a group of professional people under her to assist, ensuring the child could grow up healthy.

There were over a hundred children on the island. More than half of the children spent more time with Liu Miao than with their mothers. Many children had a closer relationship with their Aunt Miao than with their own mothers...

Yan Qingyao's eldest daughter Lingyue, Qin Yun's eldest son Liu Daofu... these children all came up this way; this one wouldn't be any different.

"Lingyue likes her brother so much, how about you give him a name?" Liu Xuan reached out and pinched the baby's soft, tender cheek, and said casually.

"Really?" The little girl was very happy.

"He is so fair, how about calling him Liu Daobai?"

"This..."

Liu Xuan shook his head, "Your 100th-ranked brother is already named Liu Daobai. That's a duplicate name. Change it!"

"Hmm..." Lingyue thought for a while, "How about Liu Dao Yu? Jade is also white."

Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. Although the 16th one was also named Yu, it was Lingyu, so it didn't conflict with Dao Yu. It was barely acceptable.

The little guy's Spiritual Root was Fifth-grade, one of the children with the highest Spiritual Roots currently. Liu Xuan had high expectations for him.

The younger the children, the higher the overall quality of their Spiritual Roots. The higher the Spiritual Root, the more bonuses there were for practicing martial arts or Qi Cultivation Techniques. As they grew up, the speed at which Liu Xuan's cultivation stacked and improved would be faster.

...

Two months later.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of the 163rd offspring. Spiritual Root is Third-grade. Obtained Fourth-grade Low Grade Bloodline Spirit Pet, Azure Flood Dragon.]

[Azure Flood Dragon: Possesses a trace of True Dragon Bloodline, can summon wind and rain, swallow clouds and mist, and has Bloodline suppression ability over ordinary Yao Beasts.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of the 164th offspring. Spiritual Root is Third-grade. Obtained Fourth-grade Low Grade Bloodline Spirit Pet, Azure Phoenix.]

[Azure Phoenix: Possesses a trace of True Phoenix Bloodline, naturally controls the Origin of fire, comes with Azure Phoenix Spirit Fire, possesses strong recovery ability, and has the ability of Nirvana and Rebirth after adulthood.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the offspring's Spiritual Root reaching a new high. Obtained Fourth-grade Top-tier Grand Array, Circumference of Heaven Stars Grand Array Formation Plate.]

Liu Xuan was stunned by the long string of System notifications. He had thought that Zhang Kexin's two children would not have poor talent, but he hadn't expected it to be so exaggerated!

Third-grade Spiritual Roots, and two at once!

Upper Third-grade Spiritual Roots! The Red Pine Sect had a population of millions, and in the last ten years, only Zhang Kexin had appeared with an Upper Third-grade Spiritual Root.

"Husband!"

"Husband?"

Until the two children were in his arms, Liu Xuan was still a bit dazed, causing Zhang Kexin to ask suspiciously.

"Is there something wrong with the children? Husband seems a bit distracted."

Liu Xuan lowered his head and kissed her, happily saying, "Your husband is just too happy!"

A blush appeared on Zhang Kexin's Face, and she chided, "Husband is lying. You have so many children, I'm afraid you are already used to it. How could you be so happy because of a child's birth?"

"How can this be the same? These are the children of you and me, Kexin!" Liu Xuan's expression was sincere, looking at Zhang Kexin's pretty Face, "And these are my first pair of twins!"

"Since they are twins... how about calling them Liu Dao Long and Liu Lingfeng?"

Unexpectedly obtaining two children with Upper Third-grade Spiritual Roots, Liu Xuan was extremely happy, and the smile on his Face didn't stop.

Liu Xuan was happy, and Zhang Kexin was also happy. Liu Xuan indeed treated her differently; otherwise, why would he favor her children?
