222: Lu Jing, the junior sister of Zonghua
Jingxin Courtyard.
Zhang Kexin held a little boy by the hand, while Lin Xue'er carried a little girl beside her.
Three years old is the age when children are at their cutest; the two little ones were fair and tender, their big eyes full of innocence, almost melting one's heart.
Third-grade Spirit Roots, two at once, and they were twins; once the news got out, it attracted all the women.
With a Third-grade Spirit Root, as long as there are no obvious defects in other aspects, one can join the Sect upon reaching the age and become a Named Disciple of a Golden Core True Person.
Just like Zhang Kexin back then, entering the Sect makes them a seed for Foundation Establishment, and at the very least, they can become a Late-Stage Qi Refining Cultivator.
With Liu Xuan's full-effort cultivation, there is even a high possibility of Foundation Establishment in the future; as long as one of them achieves Foundation Establishment, it can ensure the prosperity of the Liu Family for three hundred years.
"Husband, come quickly!"
Lin Xue'er looked even more excited than Zhang Kexin. "Dao Long and Spirit Phoenix have Third-grade Spirit Roots!"
"So high?" Liu Xuan pretended to be very surprised.
"It's true!"
"I'll test them for you to see."
Lin Xue'er ordered someone to fetch the Spirit Testing Mirror and tested the two children's Spiritual Roots again in front of Liu Xuan.
"Daddy, what is a Spiritual Root? Is it very impressive?" little Spirit Phoenix asked crisply.
"You don't even know this? Of course it's impressive; in the future, you will be even more impressive than your big brother!"
Liu Xuan pinched her little face and laughed, "If you want to be more impressive than your big brother, you'll have to work hard."
"Mm!"
The little one nodded vigorously, full of confidence.
The news of two children with Third-grade Spirit Roots caused a sensation, and they soon became famous in the Family.
However, their treatment had already been top-tier before, so other than receiving more praise, there wasn't much tangible benefit.
The children were still young, and no matter how good the cultivation was, it wouldn't cost many Spirit Stones; they would still have to wait until they truly began to Cultivate.
The news was quickly forgotten by the women, and life went on as usual, only Lin Xue'er was incredibly envious and insisted on pestering Liu Xuan to have another one.
Might as well have one! Anyway, having children now wouldn't affect Cultivation much.
...
Two months later.
A black crow flying boat appeared near the Red Pine Sect, and Liu Xuan looked down at the entire Sect below, filled with emotion.
"Nineteen years have passed without me noticing; it's almost twenty years now!"
Beside him, his Eldest Son, Dao Yuan, was already eighteen years old, a bit taller than Liu Xuan, looking like an upright black bear.
At the entrance of the Sect's Great Formation, the guarding Disciple stopped the Flying Boat. Just as he was about to step forward to ask, the leader recognized Liu Xuan and immediately opened the Formation to let them through.
"You dare to block Senior Brother Liu's Flying Boat, you blind thing!"
He loudly scolded his subordinates a few times, then flew to face Liu Xuan and saluted, "This Disciple respectfully welcomes Senior Brother Liu back to the Sect, please!"
Liu Xuan glanced at the emblem on his robe, "Are you from the Lin Family?"
The man was flattered and excitedly cupped his hands, "I am Lin Xinru; Lin Tianxiong is my uncle."
'Lin Xinru??'
Liu Xuan had a strange expression and nodded slightly, "Keep up the good work, I'll remember you."
After saying this, the Flying Boat slowly headed into the Sect, leaving Lin Xinru standing there, clenching his fists in excitement.
Talisman Hall.
Talisman Revered Master's Courtyard.
"Mother, I've come to see you!"
Before the Flying Boat had stopped, Dao Xing jumped down from mid-air and then ran thump, thump, thump to Lin Yiyi.
Lin Yiyi looked disgusted, "You child, how many times have I told you, be proper, be proper!"
"Who told you to jump down!!!"
"Oh!"
Dao Xing touched his head, "I know!"
Liu Xuan and Dao Yuan got off the Flying Boat, followed by Liu Qingqing; only the few of them had returned this time.
Without needing Liu Xuan's instructions, after getting off the Flying Boat, Liu Qingqing flew towards the Dual Cultivation Hall to prepare for this year's Sect beauty pageant.
The annual Sect beauty pageant had never stopped, but since Liu Xuan had enough Concubines, the requirements had become higher, and in recent years, only one to three Junior Sisters were selected.
Last year, some Junior Sisters complained about why Liu Xuan didn't select a few more, otherwise they would have had a chance too.
"Husband!"
Lin Yiyi stepped forward and hugged Liu Xuan's arm, her eyes full of admiration.
Liu Xuan looked at her Cultivation level and said with satisfaction, "Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, not bad, not bad!"
Lin Yiyi had good natural talent, and although she hadn't spent a long time at White Crane Lake receiving Liu Xuan's assistance, her Cultivation level had also progressed very quickly.
If she could Breakthrough to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining in these two years, she would be about the same as her Genius brother.
This girl just had too much ambition; like Xia He, she was greedy for power. If she didn't stay in the Sect to throw her weight around and instead settled down to Dual Cultivate with Liu Xuan at White Crane Lake, she would probably already be at the Late Qi Refining Stage.
"I plan to arrange for Dao Yuan to enter the Sect. You should send someone to handle the assessment, and then give him a position where he can get familiar with the Sect."
Dao Yuan was Liu Xuan's son and also had the Lin Family background; the Sect assessment was just a formality, and the fact that he didn't have a Spiritual Root wasn't a big problem.
"Rest assured! I have already prepared everything. Let Dao Yuan first go to the Spell Hall to work under my brother; with my brother looking after him, nothing will go wrong."
Lin Yiyi had received Liu Xuan's message a few days ago, and she had already arranged these matters in advance.
"That's good!"
Liu Xuan stayed in the courtyard for a while, then went to the mountaintop as usual to pay respects to True Person Xiao.
True Person Xiao was in seclusion again, so only Su Wan met him and gave him some Medicinal Pills and spiritual items.
"Little Xuan! Your Cultivation has been stuck at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining for a few years now, right? When will you be able to Breakthrough to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining?"
Su Wan's magnetic, mature woman's voice sounded, "Your Grandmaster wants you to spend more effort on Cultivation; don't just focus on having fun every day."
Liu Xuan was startled!
Xiao Changfeng was getting a bit impatient! He had to put his mind at ease.
"Please rest assured, Grandmaster and Grandmistress, I have already touched the Bottleneck of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, and I will be able to Breakthrough this month."
"That's good! You may go."
Su Wan waved her hand and said.
Leaving the mountaintop, Liu Xuan went to pay respects to his Revered Master, Lin Qingyun, and the Revered Master and Disciple discussed the Dao of Talismans for a while.
Liu Xuan's Talisman level had now improved to the top of the second tier, and any random question during their discussion could cause Lin Qingyun to ponder deeply; it was considered an indirect form of guidance for him.
After leaving the unnamed Daoist temple, Liu Xuan went to have a drink with his father-in-law, Lin Tianyue.
Three days later.
Dao Yuan successfully became a Disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Sect's Spell Hall, working under one of the Hall Revered Masters, Lin Junjie.
The results of the Sect beauty pageant were also out, and Liu Xuan only took a fancy to this year's Sect Flower, an eighteen-year-old Junior Sister named Lu Jing.
The little girl had a standard, exquisitely delicate oval face, a slightly fragile temperament, spoke very slowly, and had a very soft voice.
"Eighteen-year-old Junior Sisters are still the best!"
Putting benefits aside, Liu Xuan discovered that what he liked most was still Junior Sisters, even if their techniques were slightly inferior compared to Foundation Establishment female Cultivators, it didn't matter.
Beauty is something relatively abstract; no matter how beautiful an AI beauty is, it's meaningless. The main thing is the emotional value it provides.
"Liu... Senior Brother Liu, we aren't married yet, don't..."
Junior Sister Lu Jing was soft and weak, and on the way back to White Crane Lake, Liu Xuan had already made his move.
Liu Xuan stopped, reached out to brush the hair from her forehead, "It's fine, we will get married tonight. From now on, you must call me Husband, do you understand?"
"Hus... Husband~"
