300: The women of Xiyuan are going to be blessed.
"Congratulations, Revered Master! You have added another little Young Master to the family!"
The midwife's face blossomed into a smile; she was both respectful and fawning toward Liu Xuan.
One of the most enviable professions in the Liu Family is that of a midwife. With so many children born every year, the rewards alone are higher than the salaries of many Advanced maids.
This midwife had been with the Liu Family for over twenty years. She possessed exquisite skills and understood the rules well. Liu Xuan had always valued loyalty, so he kept her in the clan and never replaced her.
Holding the child, he waved for the midwife to leave, then Liu Xuan went to the side of the little fox spirit, Hu Lingzhao.
"Xiaozhao, how do you feel? Is there any place where you feel uncomfortable?"
Hu Lingzhao had a very distinctive appearance. In terms of pure desire, her attractiveness to Liu Xuan was in the top tier among the many women in the West Courtyard. Although she hadn't been in the West Courtyard for long, she had received quite a lot of favor.
"I'm fine!" Hu Lingzhao shook her head gently and then took the child from Liu Xuan's arms. "Husband, please give the child a name!"
"This..." Liu Xuan pondered for a moment. He was truly tired of coming up with names, so he smiled and said, "Why don't you name him, Xiaozhao?"
"Hmm..." Hu Lingzhao soothed the baby while looking thoughtful. A moment later, her long, slender fox-like eyes lit up. "How about we call him Liu De Zhao?"
Liu Xuan: "..."
"Fine! Let's call him De Zhao."
Star Space.
Central Courtyard Cultivation Chamber.
Liu Xuan sat cross-legged, and above his palm, a pale pink butterfly gently flapped its wings.
'So this is the Love Gu?!'
The black vortex in his pupils vanished, the Eye of Delusion Breaking closed, and Liu Xuan used his Divine Sense to examine the Love Gu.
He could see nothing, as if the pale pink butterfly he had just seen was merely an illusion.
The black vortex appeared in his pupils again, and by communicating with the Love Gu through their Divine Soul connection, the vanished butterfly appeared before his eyes once more.
He reached out to touch the butterfly, but his palm passed right through its body. There was no sensation at all, as if it didn't exist at all.
"Impressive!"
If not for the clear perception of its connection to him within his Divine Soul, Liu Xuan would have truly doubted whether he was hallucinating.
With a thought, the Love Gu flew into the center of Liu Xuan's eyebrows and disappeared. At the same time, his temperament subtly improved a level; his appearance remained unchanged, but he gained an inexplicable charm.
The Love Gu had another negligible effect: it would gradually make the Host more handsome and automatically exude a charm that captivated the opposite sex.
"That's too much!"
"It even increases charm; what happens if I end up being so handsome that I kill people?!"
"Sigh! Being too handsome is also a kind of trouble!"
Red Pine Sect mountaintop.
Liu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back at the edge of the mountaintop platform, looking down at Feiyu City not far below.
Countless Flying Boats of all sizes came and went. There were adventurers returning from the border battlefield and merchant Flying Boats coming from the direction of the Heavenly Sword Sect's hinterlands; it was bustling and lively.
Golden-winged giant birds, roosters covered in flames, and colorful flying Yao Beasts flew past from time to time.
On the ground, it was even more chaotic, with countless bizarre-looking Yao Beasts appearing on the streets.
There were more and more people from the Beast Taming Sect in the city, bringing countless natal spirit beasts and the Yao Beasts they had tamed.
The number of Yao Beasts in Feiyu City now was probably no less than the number of Cultivators; it looked no different from a Yao Beast city.
"Hum!!"
Just as he was lamenting, another third-rank thunder beast flying ship cut through the sky and flew over—the Beast Taming Sect had sent another army.
Liu Xuan was not surprised. People from the Beast Taming Sect would arrive in batches every so often, and it was becoming more and more frequent. In the last half-year, a third-rank flying boat had arrived almost every two weeks, and he was already used to it.
The third-rank thunder beast flying ships would not stay in Feiyu City for too long. After resting for a few days, they would rush to the border battlefield. Only those Beast Taming Sect Disciples who had obtained benefits on the battlefield would return to Feiyu City to spend them.
According to intelligence sent back from Lingshu Pavilion, the Beast Taming Sect had regained the upper hand on the Peach Blossom Sect border battlefield, and the front line was continuing to push deep into the Peach Blossom Sect.
Many adventurers formed teams. They crossed the battle lines and ran deep into the Peach Blossom Sect and even the depths of the Endless Great Mountains of the Yao Race to loot wantonly.
The risks were a bit high, but the profits were immense. From time to time, rumors would spread about someone snatching a great treasure, returning to the city to enjoy life, or even having their cultivation increase greatly.
Most of the rumors were true. Among the lucky ones were people from the Beast Taming Sect, people from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and outsiders who had come from within the Azure Profound Sect to adventure.
As the news spread, the enthusiasm of the lower-level Cultivators in the entire Feiyu City soared. Every day, people arranged to go to the border battlefield for adventure or to join the Beast Taming Sect's Cultivator army.
People didn't care much about how tragic the battlefield was. For most lower-level Cultivators, they only needed to confirm that there was indeed an Opportunity to gain benefits on the border battlefield, and it was worth the risk.
"A storm is coming!"
The time for the arrival of the true army of the Beast Taming Sect was getting closer and closer. The current relatively stable situation on the border battlefield could not last for a few years. Who knew what it would turn into by then!
The Liu Family was now becoming more and more deeply involved with the Beast Taming Sect, and on the Heavenly Sword Sect side, they had also joined the camp of True Person Feiyu, Shen Yunshu. It was no longer possible to easily extricate themselves.
As long as it wasn't a dead end, he had to consider how to fish for benefits and achieve development during the war.
"Junior Brother! This is a secret technique Jade Slip sent by Revered Master. It should be… the Joyous Union Sect's third-rank Dual Cultivation secret technique."
Yue Li flew to Liu Xuan's side, holding a Jade Slip in her hand, her cheeks flushed with shyness.
Revered Master Shen Yunshu was still unaware of the relationship between her and Liu Xuan. Sending the Dual Cultivation secret technique Jade Slip was just to let Liu Xuan help her Cultivate her forces.
Yue Li thought to herself, if Revered Master knew that after Liu Xuan learned the secret technique, he would first use it on her, her most beloved Disciple, she wondered what expression she would have.
"Oh?"
"Let me see!"
Liu Xuan took the Jade Slip and couldn't wait to check it.
The Joyous Union Sect was also a Spirit Transformation Immortal Sect, and their Joyful Union Secret Art was unfathomably profound. It was only because they were located in the East, far away, that the Azure Profound Sect didn't have much of a Legacy.
The Joyful Union Secret Art that Liu Xuan obtained from Liu Hong last time was only at the second-rank level. This time, the one sent by Shen Yunshu was a genuine third-rank secret technique, which would definitely be a great improvement for him.
His Divine Sense touched the core of the Jade Slip, and countless exquisite knowledge flooded into Liu Xuan's vision. Based on the previous second-rank Joyful Union Secret Art, there were many cultivation methods he had never thought of before.
"It can be played like this?"
"Yin and Yang harmony, Divine Soul resonance, unity of heaven and man…"
"Truly a profound Dao!"
After just a simple glance at a part of it, Liu Xuan had already benefited immensely and possessed countless insights into the Dao of Dual Cultivation.
A Dao rhyme of Yin and Yang fusion emerged around him. Yue Li was surprised to find that Liu Xuan had actually entered the rare and sought-after state of Epiphany!
"Junior Brother didn't lie to me; he really is a Genius at cultivating the Joyful Union Secret Art!"
"He was able to greatly help me improve my cultivation speed before and could even expel the Impurities in my False Core. Once he has an Epiphany on the third-rank Joyful Union Secret Art…"
"The women of the West Courtyard will be blessed in the future!"
