307: Fifth-tier water-based cultivation technique, top-tier supernatural power

Yun Xian stared at him with a gaze that was cold yet carried a hint of curiosity. Beside her was a Crane Maiden who was nearly fully transformed.

For a good while, Liu Xuan could not enter a state of Cultivation, mainly because the two of them were too powerful, and he had to devote most of his energy to watching them.

Being observed and studied by two Golden Core True Persons made Xia He and Lu Ping somewhat uncomfortable, causing the Cultivation process to be less than satisfying for everyone.

Fortunately, Yun Xian and Yun Yao were truly only interested in Liu Xuan's talent in the Joyful Union Secret Art; they left after they were done, and the unexpected events Liu Xuan had anticipated did not occur.

Afterward, Yun Xian and Yun Yao did not leave but instead stayed in the West Courtyard with An Yunxi.

These two did not shy away from anything, clearly full of curiosity about Liu Xuan and the entire Liu Family. Whenever they encountered something interesting, they would watch from the sidelines.

Whether Liu Xuan was teaching his children martial arts, teaching the women in the clan Cultivation Techniques, or helping his wives and concubines with their Cultivation at night, Yun Xian would watch from the side from time to time.

However, she was not an unreasonable person; whenever something important was involved, she would provide compensation first, and the compensation was of high value.

After spending a long time together, Liu Xuan discovered that she seemed to have no real malice; she was simply very curious.

"Isn't it said that Yun Xian Cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness? Why is she curious about everything?"

The Path of Ruthlessness is said to be a type of Cultivation Technique that gradually purifies the practitioner's Divine Soul. The deeper one goes into the Realm, the more ruthless and unfeeling they appear.

Liu Xuan had expected this Cultivator to be terrifying and reckless, but the feeling Yun Xian gave him was completely different from what he had imagined. Apart from appearing a bit indifferent, this woman was no different from a normal person in other respects.

"Could it be that her Cultivation Technique hasn't reached a high Realm?"

"That can't be right! She is already a Late Golden Core Great True Person. If her comprehension of the Cultivation Technique were insufficient, it would be impossible to reach such a Realm."

"Forget it! If soldiers come, block them; if water comes, cover it with earth. If she has any intention of harming people, then I'll fight her!!"

From then on, Liu Xuan treated Yun Xian and Yun Yao like two Advanced concubines in his West Courtyard. Except for not being able to sleep with them, everything else was about the same.

On the surface, they became part of the Liu Family, with a status equivalent to An Yunxi's previous status, but in reality, Liu Xuan never let his guard down against them, always careful that they might stir up trouble.

...

A few months later.

Yun Xian truly treated the Red Pine Sect as her home. She even rented a piece of land in the inner sect on the mountainside for a price of 10,000 Spirit Stones per month and brought hundreds of Beast Taming Sect Disciples to live there.

Liu Xuan originally wanted to refuse, but since he was secretly a Junior Brother of the Beast Taming Sect, he really had no reason to refuse.

Beast Taming Sect Disciples living in Feiyu City would pay rent, and the price Yun Xian offered was ten times the rent in Feiyu City. Since not many people were moving in, Liu Xuan could only agree.

Besides this, Yun Xian also had a certain level of attainment in Formations and was a High Grade Formation Master. She was most interested in Liu Xuan's talent in Formations.

After several exchanges, Liu Xuan discovered that as long as she started studying Formations, she would become extremely focused, as if nothing could disturb her.

Although Yun Xian was obsessed with Formations, Liu Xuan dared not fool her like he did An Yunxi. Every time they exchanged ideas, he disguised himself as a Formation Genius with shallow knowledge, occasionally putting forward a novel idea to attract her energy and keep her from bothering him.

Liu Xuan really had no energy to satisfy Yun Xian's curiosity, as a major event had been occupying his mind for the past few days.

Yue Li was about to give birth!

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of the 274th descendant, First-Grade Spiritual Root, obtained Fifth-Grade Low Grade Cultivation Technique: Supreme Good Myriad Transformation Scripture.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the descendant's Spiritual Root talent reaching a new high, obtained Top-Tier Divine Ability: Blood Drop Rebirth.]

[Supreme Good Myriad Transformation Scripture: Low Grade water-type Cultivation Technique. Those who Cultivate this technique have magic power that flows endlessly like a river or sea, more than ten times that of ordinary Cultivators of the same level. The Myriad Transformation magic power can be hard or soft, bypassing the strong and breaking the weak, with no flaws and cannot be restrained. Derived Divine Abilities: Myriad Transformation Formlessness, Control of Water Veins. Myriad Transformation Formlessness: Escape Technique Divine Ability; except for spatial imprisonment techniques, most imprisonment techniques are ineffective against it. Control of Water Veins: On great rivers and seas, one can borrow the power of water veins for one's own use, causing battle power to skyrocket.]

[Blood Drop Rebirth: Top-Tier Divine Ability, significantly enhances the Cultivator's body recovery and physical strength. One can condense a drop of Essence Blood and place it in a safe place. If the practitioner dies unexpectedly, the Divine Soul will instantly transmit back to the Essence Blood to restore the Physical Body, and the cultivation level can be restored after a period of time. Unless the enemy has mastered the Dao of Life and Death or the Dao of Karma, and their cultivation level far exceeds the Host's, they cannot directly kill the Host.]

"First-Grade Spiritual Root! Skipping the Second-Grade Spiritual Root, it squeezed out another big prize of mine!"

Liu Xuan's heart was bleeding, but he couldn't precisely control the child's Spiritual Root; it couldn't be forced.

Fortunately, the reward this time was quite good—a Fifth-Grade water-type Cultivation Technique that happened to complete the Five Elements to Perfection. The improvement after practicing it would be absolutely powerful.

And this Top-Tier Divine Ability, Blood Drop Rebirth; just the simple description was very strong. It was the most top-tier life-saving Divine Ability, exactly what he needed most.

Divine Ability! This was a Domain that only Golden Core Cultivators could touch. Whether a Golden Core True Person's battle power was strong depended mostly on whether their Divine Ability was powerful.

Although Blood Drop Rebirth had no bonus to battle power, its life-saving ability was incredibly powerful, worthy of being a Top-Tier Divine Ability.

Only Cultivators who had mastered the Dao of Life and Death or the Dao of Karma, and whose cultivation level was far higher than his, could kill him.

Life and Death, Karma—most Nascent Soul Cultivators, and even Divine Transformation Cultivators, could not touch them. If operated properly, Liu Xuan would no longer need to be trembling in front of those big shots!

While the System brought Liu Xuan a lot of benefits, it also brought endless danger. This was the Cultivation World, after all, and those high-and-mighty big shots had unfathomable means. One careless move could lead to disaster. For decades, he had been cautious and walking on thin ice; now, he could finally be a little more at ease.

"Waa, waa, waa..."

A burst of baby crying interrupted Liu Xuan's train of thought. Yue Li hugged the child and looked at Liu Xuan at the door, asking: "Junior Brother! What's wrong with you?"

There was no midwife in the room. Yue Li did not like others touching her, so the entire process of giving birth was completed by her alone, even the maidservants were driven out of the room by her.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little happy!" Liu Xuan smiled and walked into the room, looking closely at his first child with a First-Grade Spiritual Root.

First-Grade Spiritual Root! This was already the highest Spiritual Root Liu Xuan knew of, the same as An Yunxi's.

A Cultivator with a First-Grade Spiritual Root, as long as they weren't born an idiot, could basically achieve Foundation Establishment. Even the entire Heavenly Sword Sect would only produce one every few years, and sometimes not even one in ten years.

"Junior Brother already has so many children, what is there to be happy about? You're just trying to trick me!"

Although Yue Li said this, she was very happy in her heart that Liu Xuan could value the child she gave birth to so much.

"Junior Brother, what name should we give our son?"

Liu Xuan looked up at the clear sky outside, reached out to take the child into his arms, and slowly said:

"Let's call him De Ming!"
