481: Chapter 481 Renaming

Peach Blossom Palace, Liu Residence.

News arrived that as soon as Liu Daodan reached the Lihuo Sect, he broke through the Foundation Establishment Bottleneck and had already begun secluded cultivation for his Breakthrough.

Liu Xuan was overjoyed, and even his annoyance toward Li Xihe lessened slightly.

To celebrate his son Daodan's Foundation Establishment, Liu Xuan instructed Xiao Ran to arrange for a Merchant Alliance team to go to the Lihuo Sect and await his son's orders after his Breakthrough.

He also planned to send someone to discuss with Li Xihe about opening a branch of Vast Gathering Pavilion near the Lihuo Sect so everyone could make money together.

Although the current Lihuo Sect lacked strength and had few Cultivators, it possessed the gold-lettered brand of Daoist Lord Lihuo; doing business there was a guaranteed profit.

Liu Xuan wasn't greedy either; a win-win cooperation with a fifty-fifty split would suffice.

"Daodan is about to establish his foundation. Adding the recently successful Daoyun, Lingqing, Ling Lu, Ling Meng, Daogang, and Daorui, a total of sixteen children have already become Foundation Establishment Cultivators!"

"Dao Long, Spirit Phoenix, as well as Daoyun, Dao Yu, Daozi... their Breakthroughs are also near."

The subsequent offspring had higher talent and better treatment, so their Breakthroughs would only become faster and faster.

Liu Xuan could clearly feel his own cultivation speed increasing; reaching the Late Golden Core Stage would be a matter of within ten years.

He was only in his early sixties this year and would only be seventy in ten years. At this rate, there was a high probability he could achieve Nascent Soul Formation before the age of one hundred.

Nascent Soul Formation at a hundred years old was extremely exaggerated; it would likely directly break the record for the fastest Nascent Soul Formation in the Cangwu Realm.

Liu Xuan was in an excellent mood. He looked at Tong Xiao, who was frowning while reading a Cultivation Technique Secret Manual nearby, and smiled. "Study hard. Once you've learned it, I'll let you go out and play."

Tong Xiao was a Yao Beast by birth, with the Roc cultivation method inherent in his Bloodline. Having eaten countless spirit fruits from his Aunt Peach Blossom, he was already at the Peak of the Early Foundation Establishment Stage at a young age. In terms of Realm, he had surpassed the Eldest Son, Dao Far, becoming the actual number one.

However, Liu Xuan felt it still wasn't fast enough, so he compiled the True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture and had him study it diligently.

"Father!!" Tong Xiao threw down the book and complained, "Auntie said my cultivation is already rising fast enough. Can I stop learning this trash technique?"

Although Tong Xiao's Realm was at the Peak of the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, he was only four years old and very playful.

Because of his special Bloodline, neither Liu Xuan nor Peach Blossom allowed him to go out and play alone, which made the boy extremely curious about the outside world.

His wish was to be like his other siblings—able to go out freely and see the different sights.

"You can choose not to learn!" Liu Xuan's face darkened. "If you don't learn, then go back to the Star Space for secluded cultivation. Only come out to play when you Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment!"

"Don't! Don't!" Tong Xiao quickly picked the book back up. "I'll learn, okay?"

His eyes darted around as he looked at Liu Xuan and said, "Father, if I learn it within ten days, can you let me hide my identity and go play in the city for two days?"

Before Liu Xuan could object, he hurriedly explained, "I promise I won't reveal my identity, and I won't use my cultivation."

"At most... I'll ask Mother to follow me, alright? Or you can personally take me!"

Liu Xuan hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly. He was not an unreasonable person; being too harsh with children often tended to backfire.

"Yay!"

Tong Xiao shouted happily, then buried his head in his studies, striving to reach the entry level of this technique within ten days.

This wasn't the complete True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture, but only the most basic introductory part, suitable for the Qi Refining stage, reaching at most the Early Foundation Establishment Stage.

Despite his young age, Tong Xiao was extremely intelligent. Coupled with his trace of Yinglong Bloodline, reaching the entry level in ten days was not impossible.

'Human Race offspring have a high upper limit; as long as they have a Legacy of Cultivation Techniques, they can keep growing alongside me.'

'The Yao Race has Bloodline limits; they Cultivate fast in the Early Stages but relatively slow in the later stages. However, for the current me, it's actually more cost-effective!'

Tong Xiao's growth speed stirred greed in Liu Xuan's heart, making him consider whether he should spend more effort on female demons.

Female demons were harder to impregnate, and Yao Race offspring were fast early on and slow later, so it wasn't necessary in the long run. But if they were all high-tier talented offspring like Tong Xiao, it was definitely more profitable at this stage.

'The possibility of every Yao Race offspring having a Bloodline of Rank 6 or higher is extremely low.'

'However, if they are of Dragon descent, even if the Bloodline grade is low, they can Cultivate the True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture to make up for it.'

At this thought, Liu Xuan's eyes lit up, and the image of a cold Fairy immediately appeared in his mind.

Bai Leng's true form was a snake demon. 'A snake demon should have a Dragon-type Bloodline, right?'

His Divine Thought swept across the entire Peach Blossom Palace, and Liu Xuan called over Bai Leng, who was in secluded cultivation.

Upon receiving Liu Xuan's transmission, Bai Leng flew over directly using an escape technique. Peach Blossom's task for her was to protect Liu Xuan and the Liu Family, while also handling Peach Blossom Palace's affairs.

As the Liu Family grew stronger, most of the Peach Blossom Palace's affairs were gradually transferred to them. With Green Luo handling general matters, Bai Leng was now effectively Liu Xuan's bodyguard and secretary; calling her over was normal.

"Aren't you going to ask why I called you here?" Seeing Bai Leng standing there with an indifferent expression without saying a word, Liu Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Bai Leng's willow-like brows furrowed slightly. She didn't know what Liu Xuan was up to. Previously, he would speak directly if there was something; why beat around the bush this time?

"If there's something, just say it!" she said coldly.

This woman just had that kind of temper. Liu Xuan wasn't angry either and smiled. "This time, it's not a task for you to do, but rather an Opportunity I want to give you."

"An Opportunity?"

Liu Xuan nodded, stood up, and handed her the cultivation book that was in front of Tong Xiao.

"Take a look at this technique first. I'll explain it to you after you've finished reading."

Puzzled, Bai Leng took the book Liu Xuan handed her and slowly flipped through it, her Divine Sense sweeping over the pages.

"True Dragon... Fate Reversal... Scripture!"

When she saw the beginning, she scoffed, thinking it didn't even count as a technique, but was purely fantastical visions.

But as she read further, her gaze gradually turned solemn, because the points she thought were impossible to achieve in the beginning actually had logical explanations and methods of realization.

After finishing the "Introductory True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture (Part 1)", she abruptly dropped the book and snatched the "True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture (Part 2)" from Tong Xiao's hand to flip through it quickly.

After reading it all, she looked at Liu Xuan with sharp eyes and asked with a slightly hurried tone, "Do you have the follow-up to this technique?"

"Of course!" Liu Xuan smiled slightly, very satisfied with her current reaction, and said slowly, "Not only is there a follow-up, but this technique is as high as Rank 6 and is a technique that can lead to Immortal Ascension!"

"Give it to me!" Bai Leng held out her hand, her snowy-white palm reaching toward Liu Xuan. "State your conditions!"

Having been Liu Xuan's bodyguard for so long, Bai Leng knew that since he had brought out the technique, he would definitely give it to her; it was just a matter of conditions.

"No rush!" Liu Xuan took her outstretched hand and pulled her to sit down beside him. "Learn the introductory part first. It won't be too late for me to give you the follow-up then."

"As for the conditions..."

Liu Xuan looked at Bai Leng, who had pulled her hand away with a slightly resistant look, thought for a moment, and said:

"I think your name isn't good; it's too cold. How about I change your name?"

"What name?"

"Hmm... how about changing it to Bai Jie?"
