296: Fourth-grade low-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pill

"Junior Brother, aren't you going to come over and pay your respects to Revered Master?"

Seeing Liu Xuan staring blankly at Revered Master, Yue Li hurriedly reminded him.

Liu Xuan regained his senses and bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciple Liu Xuan pays respects to Revered Master!"

Shen Yunshu had visited suddenly, and Liu Xuan felt a bit flustered. After all, he had taken her beloved Disciple, Yue Li.

As a Late Golden Core Great True Person and a Sword Cultivator, if she were to lose her temper, Liu Xuan would still feel some pressure.

"No need for formalities!"

Shen Yunshu walked to the chair at the head of the room and sat down, her gaze sweeping over Liu Xuan continuously.

"I heard from Yue Li that when the cargo transportation at the border battlefield had issues last time, it was you who convinced Senior Brother Xiao to step in and resolve it?"

Shen Yunshu's tone was gentle and calm, but it carried an inexplicable pressure that made one afraid to lie.

"The Liu Family and Feiyu City share the same fate; this is all something I should do!"

Shen Yunshu looked at Liu Xuan noncommittally; it was impossible to tell what she was thinking, and the room fell into a brief silence.

In reality, she was just putting on a mysterious front; she actually couldn't figure Liu Xuan out either.

This kid was extremely strange—he could actually make the usually headstrong Senior Brother Xiao obey his every command. Furthermore, combining Yue Li's strange behavior earlier with Liu Xuan's reputation for being lecherous, Yue Li likely had an unusual relationship with him as well.

Liu Xuan possessed a special Physique, had cultivated a Joyous Union Sect Dual Cultivation Technique, was proficient in pills, artifacts, talismans, and formations, and could easily defeat Wan Wei, who was ranked eighty-eighth on the Sword Pavilion Earth List. She had never seen such a Prodigy before.

The cargo transportation issue at the border battlefield last time was a trap set by True Person Heng Yuan. She had already prepared to give up some benefits, but she hadn't expected this kid to resolve it.

If this matter hadn't disrupted True Person Heng Yuan's plans, she wouldn't have been able to get away so quickly to come here.

"I heard that you have cultivated a Joyous Union Sect Dual Cultivation Technique that can help female Cultivators accelerate their Cultivation speed?"

Liu Xuan nodded, "That is indeed the case!"

"Do you have the secret Jade Slip? Let me see it."

"This..."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xuan took a Jade Slip from his Storage Pouch and presented it, "This is the Joyous Union Sect Dual Cultivation Technique that this Disciple obtained."

Cultivation Technique secret Jade Slips were recorded with the Divine Soul and would gradually become blurry as they were read. Fortunately, Liu Xuan had learned it in one go, so this Jade Slip could still be read many times.

Shen Yunshu hadn't expected Liu Xuan to actually be able to produce the secret Jade Slip, and she began to examine it with interest.

"This technique is not of a high Rank, but it is difficult to Cultivate, and... the effects are not as good as rumors suggest."

"Revered Master is correct!" Liu Xuan explained, "This Disciple has a special talent for this technique. I mastered it after reading it once in one hour, and my Physique just happens to be compatible with the technique, so the effect is slightly better!"

"You mastered it in an hour!!"

A flash of surprise crossed Shen Yunshu's face. She threw the Jade Slip back to Liu Xuan and smiled, saying,

"The Joyous Union Sect Dual Cultivation Technique is a top-tier secret technique. Yours is just a remnant copy. Since you are so talented, next time I will bring you a Rank 3 Joyous Union Sect Dual Cultivation Technique from the Sword Pavilion's library."

Holy crap!

There's such a good thing?

"Many thanks, Revered Master!"

Liu Xuan froze for a second, then immediately bowed deeply!

Shen Yunshu waved her hand gently, and a breeze lifted Liu Xuan up. She then took out two tokens and threw them to Liu Xuan.

"This is the official Disciple identity token for my Feiyu lineage, and the other one is my personal communication token. From now on, Feiyu City is left to Yue Li and you. If there is anything, you can contact me directly."

Shen Yunshu chose to establish Feiyu City at the Red Pine Sect, firstly because it was close to the Peach Blossom Sect border battlefield, making it easy to reap war profits, and secondly because she wanted to seize control of the Red Pine Sect after Xiao Changfeng's lifespan ended.

Liu Xuan's talent was incredibly monstrous, and he could make Xiao Changfeng obey his every command. If she accepted this Disciple, the entire Red Pine Sect would be in her pocket; why wouldn't she do it?

Accepting Liu Xuan as a Disciple meant accepting the entire Red Pine Sect and the entire Liu Clan.

Other talented Disciples needed cultivation and might betray her, but Liu Xuan was different; he had a massive Family behind him, making him easier to control. He was truly the best candidate for a Disciple.

"Revered Master, rest assured! This Disciple will definitely do his best to repay your kindness!"

Shen Yunshu took a fancy to Liu Xuan's talent and ability, while Liu Xuan took a fancy to her status and strength. It was a mutual attraction, and they hit it off immediately!

The Revered Master and Disciple were affectionate and had a pleasant conversation. They chatted for over half an hour before Shen Yunshu left, leaving Yue Li and Liu Xuan to continue their in-depth communication.

...

A few months later.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of your 258th descendant. Spiritual Root Rank 3. Obtained special Medicinal Pill: pregnancy nurturing pill * 1.]

[pregnancy nurturing pill: Rank 4 Low Grade special Medicinal Pill. When taken by a woman before intercourse, it can significantly increase the chance of pregnancy and improve the descendant's talent to a certain extent. The effect gradually diminishes when both the man and woman's Cultivation exceeds the Early Nascent Soul Stage.]

'Good stuff!!'

This Medicinal Pill didn't have much value to other Cultivators, but to Liu Xuan, it was incredibly valuable!

A Rank 4 Low Grade pregnancy nurturing pill was enough to increase the pregnancy chance of a Nascent Soul female Cultivator. If it were given to a Golden Core female Cultivator, wouldn't it be a one hundred percent chance of conception?

A talented child was just that to others, but to Liu Xuan, who possessed the System, it was equivalent to double the rewards.

But who should I use it on?

Currently, the woman with the highest Cultivation among his women was Yue Li, who was at the False Core stage; using it on her was a bit of a waste.

The one with the greatest status and background was An Yunxi. If she could conceive in one go, he could consider trying to have the child born before his father-in-law and sister-in-law arrived.

'Forget it, the risk is too high. It's better to be safe!'

Excluding An Yunxi, the one to consider currently was Yue Li, or waiting to see if he could directly conquer Shen Yunshu.

'Forget it! Just give it to Yue Li!'

Shen Yunshu's Cultivation was too high, and he didn't know when he would be able to conquer her. Other Golden Core True Persons weren't that easy to conquer either. Using it early and enjoying it early was the right path!

As his thoughts raced in an instant, the Liu Family's exclusive midwife arrived before Liu Xuan holding the wailing child.

"Congratulations, Revered Master, you have gained another little fairy daughter!"

Signaling the maid beside him to bestow a reward, Liu Xuan took his daughter. Children born to Foundation Establishment Cultivators were just different; she was beautiful from birth, full of spirituality, and even her crying was exceptionally loud!

"Husband, let me see!"

Zi Lan changed into a new set of clothes and came to Liu Xuan's side, smiling as she poked the child's cheek.

Aside from her face being slightly pale, the childbirth had no effect on her. If it weren't for convenience and comfort, she wouldn't even have needed a midwife.

"Daughters are still the cutest!"

Zi Lan had previously given birth to a son, Liu Daozi, who was ranked 166th and was now almost twelve years old—the age when he was particularly mischievous.

When he was young, Zi Lan liked him very much, but when he became seven or eight and naughty and disobedient, she found him somewhat annoying. Now that she had given birth to a daughter, it was just to her liking.

"Husband, why don't we call her Liu Xinrou?" Zi Lan hoped this daughter would be obedient and sensible, not like her son who was mischievous every day when he grew up.

"Okay! We will listen to Laner. The little one will be called Xinrou from now on!"

Zi Lan's wish was good, but looking at how loudly she was crying right after birth, could she really be obedient and sensible when she grew up?
