59: The first spiritual root offspring, the Talisman Golden Mountain Seal

Red Pine City.

Lin Talisman Shop.

【Ding! Congratulations Host, fourth descendant born. Obtained 100 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.】

【Ding! Congratulations Host, possess first Ninth-Grade Spirit Root descendant. Achievement unlocked: 'Foundation of the Immortal Clan', obtained talisman treasure: golden mountain seal.】

'talisman treasure?'

An illusory golden mountain seal appeared in Liu Xuan's Sea of Consciousness. As soon as his consciousness touched it, a stream of information surfaced.

【golden mountain seal: 3 uses. No cultivation requirement. Activated by Divine Soul. When triggered, transforms into a golden mountain to suppress enemies. Power comparable to a False Core True Person.】

'Holy crap!'

I've hit the jackpot!

Liu Xuan was stunned in place, shocked.

He had heard of talisman treasures. These things could only be made by Golden Core or False Core Cultivators who possessed Magic Treasures.

In essence, they were replicas of a Magic Treasure's ability. The production cost was high, requiring the use of the Magic Treasure's Origin.

talisman treasures were generally life-saving items prepared by Golden Core Cultivators specifically for their beloved descendants; they were priceless treasures.

Like Talismans, a talisman treasure could unleash a Spell upon activation. In the hands of a Golden Core Cultivator, a talisman treasure was essentially no different from an ordinary third-tier Talisman.

However, it was different in the hands of Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Talismans required mana to trigger and Divine Soul to control; it was difficult to unleash the full power of a Talisman when surpassing a major Realm.

talisman treasures were different. Even if triggered by a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, they could still unleash power comparable to a strike from a Golden Core Cultivator.

With this golden mountain seal, defeating a Golden Core Cultivator wasn't realistic, but if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was caught off guard, they would likely be killed instantly!

If he killed one or two Foundation Establishment Cultivators...

'Calm down!!'

Liu Xuan immediately dispelled this thought from his mind. As the saying went, there was no need to take such risks.

"Congratulations, Talisman Master Liu, it's a young master!"

The midwife's announcement interrupted Liu Xuan's train of thought.

Walking into the room, Lin Anqi was covered in sweat, damp strands of hair stuck to her rosy cheeks, her head tilted as she smiled while looking at her child beside her.

"Husband!"

"Our child is born!"

Liu Xuan nodded, took the child into his arms, and leaned in to look closely.

'Ninth-Grade Spirit Root! It doesn't look any different from the other children when they were just born!'

Generally, a child's Spiritual Root could only be detected at age three. The System obviously didn't have this limitation; it could judge it right at birth.

In that case, did this mean the previous three children had no Spiritual Root...

Lin Xue'er, Da Shuang Xiao Shuang, and Lin Anqi all lacked Spiritual Roots. The probability of Liu Xuan and them having a child with a Spiritual Root was about one in ten. Having one with a Spiritual Root out of just four children was already quite lucky.

"As your father, I hope your path of Dao goes smoothly and you achieve success in the Immortal Dao. You shall be named Fourth Young Master Liu Daocheng!"

"Wuwuwu~"

Whether it was because he understood Liu Xuan's words or not, little Daocheng, who had been crying loudly, actually stopped, turned to stare curiously at Liu Xuan, making wuwu and yaya sounds.

"Hahaha!"

"As expected of my son, you can understand my words just after being born!"

With double happiness, Liu Xuan laughed heartily, a rare occurrence.

"You're so unserious!"

Lin Anqi smiled as she watched this scene, a thick sense of happiness filling her heart.

...

The next day.

The maid Xiao Yue was also about to give birth.

【Ding! Congratulations Host, fifth descendant born. Obtained one High-Grade Spirit Stone.】

A High-Grade Spirit Stone was effectively worth 100 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Because of its scarcity and portability, its value was usually slightly higher than 100 Spirit Stones.

Other than that, there were no other rewards, and no Spiritual Root notification, so it likely didn't have one either.

"As your father, I hope you possess wisdom and can easily comprehend the Dao. I will name you Ling Hui!"

Liu Ling Hui. Liu Xuan had five children now. He took the moonlight spiritual marrow he had prepared in advance and gave it to Xiao Yue, instructing her to take good care of the child.

"Young Master, this is too valuable, I cannot accept it!"

Xiao Yue waved her hand, refusing.

"Take it!"

Liu Xuan took out another bottle of Medicinal Pill for recovering Origin Qi and ten Spirit Stones, stuffing them into her hands.

"These are all for my daughter, why wouldn't you accept them?"

"Are you trying to mistreat my daughter?"

"No... no!"

Xiao Yue quickly waved her hands, then her eyes misted over with tears. "Thank you, Young Master!"

Xiao Yue was just an ordinary maid; she hadn't expected Liu Xuan to value the child she gave birth to so much.

"If you really want to thank me, take good care of our child. If there are any problems, go to the Madam. If even the Madam can't help, come directly to me." Liu Xuan instructed.

"Yes!"

Xiao Yue nodded.

After staying in the city with Lin Anqi and the maids for a few days, Liu Xuan returned to the Sect to meet with Lin Xue'er, Da Shuang Xiao Shuang, and his three children.

Lin Xue'er was more than eight months pregnant again and would give birth soon. Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang had also confirmed they were pregnant again for nearly two months.

Last time he returned, he got both sisters pregnant simultaneously; his fertility was surprisingly good.

Next door, Chang Dan, Huang Qian, Wu Qingyue, and Li Man were already nearly nine months pregnant. A month later, four more children would be born...

The seeds planted in the previous year would be harvested one after another. In the near future, the number of Liu Xuan's children would increase rapidly.

'I wonder what kind of rewards I can get!'

Liu Xuan secretly anticipated it in his heart.

...

Yongning County.

Liu Xuan had moved. He moved to a large mansion near the County Magistrate's main hall, and the plaque at the entrance was changed to Liu Mansion.

This place was previously the Chen family's residence in the city. After the Chen family was wiped out, Zhao Deliang gave it to Liu Xuan.

This residence covered more than ten mu of land and was fully equipped. It even had one first-tier High Grade Cultivation Chamber, three first-tier Medium Grade Cultivation Chambers, and a spirit fruit garden planted with over a dozen first-tier Low Grade spirit peaches.

These conditions were even better than the Inner Sect Immortal Cave. In the past, how could it have been Liu Xuan's turn?

Inside the Cultivation Chamber.

Liu Xuan sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, holding the small golden seal in his hand and examining it carefully.

He didn't need to input mana. With a slight movement of Liu Xuan's thought, the small seal grew a circle larger, and a power of suppression emanated from it.

This thing didn't need to be activated; just using it to smash people would have significant power. Ordinary Magical Artifacts probably couldn't block it.

As for what kind of power it would have when fully activated, Liu Xuan couldn't imagine, nor was it easy to test.

The golden mountain seal could only be fully activated three times. Liu Xuan wouldn't waste one just to satisfy his curiosity.

"With this golden mountain seal, I can perhaps be bolder in my future actions!"

Having been in Yongning for more than half a year, Liu Xuan had basically never left the county town. Since Yan Qingyao's incident last time, he hadn't even gone to the outskirts of the city.

Now he didn't need to be so fearful. "At the very least... at the very least, I should go visit the city outskirts!"

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator was the highest combat power in Yongning. The Red Pine Sect only had one Golden Core Cultivator. With the talisman treasure golden mountain seal, Liu Xuan was capable enough to roam freely throughout the entire Red Pine territory.

It was just that this thing shouldn't be exposed easily; he couldn't explain its Origin, and it had a limited number of uses. Unless it was a life-or-death situation, Liu Xuan wouldn't take it out to use, so as to avoid attracting trouble.
