75: natal sword type

After staying at the Talisman Masters Small Building to accompany the women for a day, Liu Xuan went to the Dual Cultivation Hall to purchase an Early Stage Qi Gathering flight Spirit Beast, the Iron Feather Eagle.

The Spirit Beasts sold at the Dual Cultivation Hall were generally at most Early Stage Qi Gathering; the only difference was the Bloodline Rank, as it was difficult to tame them if the cultivation Rank was any higher.

Those with Advanced Bloodlines had great potential for advancement and were worth cultivating, while those with low-level Bloodlines, like the Iron Feather Eagle, reached their limit at the Early Stage Qi Gathering!

It wasn't that Liu Xuan didn't want to buy a Spirit Beast with a high Bloodline Rank; it was just that his beast taming technique cultivation was mediocre, and Spirit Beasts with Advanced Bloodlines were difficult to control.

Moreover, he didn't have many Spirit Stones at his disposal right now, so the Iron Feather Eagle was the best choice.

Eighty-eight Spirit Stones, and it could be used immediately after purchase; it was actually quite a good deal!

"This is the Beast Taming Token, please keep it safe!"

The Disciple from the Dual Cultivation Hall presented a token with both hands, "Senior Brother, do you know how to use the token? Do you need me to introduce it to you?"

"No need!"

Liu Xuan injected his magical power, and the token glowed faintly, reflecting off the circular Magical Artifact around the Iron Feather Eagle's neck in front of him.

A Beast Taming Ring! It was a type of Magical Artifact used to forcibly control Yao Beasts, but it had many limitations and was not entirely reliable.

The token emitted a bit of gray spiritual light, which, after being refined by Liu Xuan, merged into the center of his eyebrows.

A cold consciousness established a connection with Liu Xuan, allowing him to communicate with the Iron Feather Eagle.

If the Iron Feather Eagle disobeyed, he could control the Beast Taming Ring through this mark; a single thought could make it wish it were dead.

Yao Beasts usually had irritable temperaments and, in certain situations, would go mad, willing to die just to bite back.

Even with the Beast Taming Ring, a Cultivator would not dare to torture the purchased Spirit Beast too much.

"Come here!"

He sent out a Divine Soul intent, and the Iron Feather Eagle, which had been lying on the ground, stood up and walked toward Liu Xuan.

It stood about five meters tall with a wingspan of over a dozen meters, its body covered in feathers that looked like black mysterious iron, resembling a steel beast.

It looked fierce, but in reality, it was not strong; its iron feathers were only slightly stronger than ordinary mortal iron.

Its stamina was mediocre, and it could not carry heavy loads while flying. Its only advantage was its decent flight speed; it would probably take an hour and a half to get from the Sect to Yongning.

Liu Xuan flew onto the back of the Iron Feather Eagle and ordered it to fly toward Red Pine City.

...

Lin Family Talisman Shop.

The Iron Feather Eagle landed in the center of the courtyard, and servants immediately came over to handle its placement.

Occasionally, there were customers in the shop who arrived riding flight Spirit Beasts, so they were very experienced in handling such matters.

"Husband!"

Hearing that Liu Xuan had returned, Lin Anqi came out to welcome him, holding little Daocheng.

Lin Anqi was already a beauty full of feminine charm, and now, holding an infant, she had an even more unique allure.

She was incredibly seductive!

But Liu Xuan held back; Lin Anqi had given birth less than four months ago, and Liu Xuan did not want to hurt her.

Lin Anqi handed her son to the maid Xiao Ye, who was standing nearby, and then threw herself directly into Liu Xuan's arms.

With soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms, Liu Xuan felt helpless!

"Be careful!"

Liu Xuan said crossly.

"Every time you return, Husband, you don't come to see me first. How about I just go with you to Yongning?" Lin Anqi acted like a spoiled child.

She had mentioned this to Liu Xuan several times, and also to her father a few times. Liu Xuan didn't have any objections, but Lin Tianyue would not allow it, so she had not yet had her wish granted.

"Father-in-law doesn't agree, so there's nothing I can do, is there?" Liu Xuan put Lin Anqi down; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself if he held her for too long.

"Husband just doesn't want me to go with you to Yongning!"

Lin Anqi pouted, "With your current status as the Old Ancestor's Personal Disciple, Husband, if you insisted, how could Father possibly disagree?"

"This..."

Liu Xuan did indeed have selfish motives regarding this matter. If Lin Anqi stayed at the Talisman Shop, she could help him process some of the Talismans and could also earn money to support their son and the group of maids.

There was no benefit to going to Yongning, and then Liu Xuan would have to provide Spirit Stones to support them.

"Don't worry, Husband. I will still be responsible for the shop, and even if I go to Yongning, I can help you with your work; I definitely won't disturb you."

Lin Anqi was very smart. She understood Liu Xuan's concerns. Taking Liu Xuan's hand, a trace of grievance appeared on her face, "This concubine just... just wants to be by your side."

"Alright!"

Liu Xuan nodded, "But we have to wait for a while longer. Let's talk about it after I have arranged things over there."

"Thank you, Husband!"

Lin Anqi stood on tiptoe and kissed Liu Xuan on the cheek!

Liu Xuan was stunned!

Why hadn't he noticed before that Lin Anqi was a romantic fool, and that she liked acting like a spoiled child so much?

Could it be that her personality changed after giving birth?

...

The next day.

The maid Xiao Lan gave birth.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of your eleventh heir. Received one bottle of First Rank Medium Grade Yellow Dragon Pill.]

First Rank Medium Grade Yellow Dragon Pill, a daily Cultivation Medicinal Pill, slightly better in effect than the qi gathering pill, sold for fifty Spirit Stones per bottle.

It was another heir without a Spiritual Root, a daughter, whom Liu Xuan named: Liu Lingyue.

The rewards obtained from ordinary heirs without Spiritual Roots were too few, not even enough for the Spirit Stones required for early-stage cultivation...

Aside from making up the numbers to achieve milestones, the value of ordinary heirs was greatly reduced, and their value for cultivation was also greatly reduced.

After all, they were his own biological children; Liu Xuan couldn't be so heartless as to abandon them directly, but children with poor talent would inevitably receive less and less of his support and help in the future!

'How many heirs are needed for the next achievement?'

Thirteen? Twenty? Or thirty?

Based on the pattern, Liu Xuan estimated that thirty heirs was the most likely, as the difficulty of achieving milestones in the later stages would certainly increase.

Of course!

The rewards that could be obtained would certainly become increasingly generous.

In addition to achieving quantity milestones, if Liu Xuan wanted to obtain more rewards, he needed to acquire Dao Companions with higher talent and cultivation, and each time a child's talent reached a new height, he could also receive additional rewards.

The higher the heir's Spiritual Root talent, the more generous the System rewards would be; in the future, Liu Xuan would need to spend more of his energy on Dao Companions of higher quality.

Cultivation Chamber.

Liu Xuan placed the Refined Gold Magical Artifact sword flat in front of him, organizing the various details of the Natal Five Elements Sword Seed technique in his mind.

'The Refined Gold Magical Artifact sword is forged from refined gold, so it should be usable to refine the sword seed, right?'

He would know after trying!

It was just a First Rank High Grade Magical Artifact, so Liu Xuan wouldn't feel too bad if he lost it.

Operating the secret technique, Liu Xuan's index finger bloomed with a blood-colored light, drawing complex rune patterns on the Refined Gold Magical Artifact sword.

As more and more blood-colored runes appeared on the sword, Liu Xuan's face grew paler and paler, and his expression became increasingly listless.

These runes were formed by Essence Blood and Divine Soul combined with magical power, so the consumption was inevitably a bit high.

For a full hour, the Refined Gold Magical Artifact sword changed from gold to blood-red, with layers of intricate patterns covering it.

"Refine!"

Liu Xuan gave a soft shout and pointed his sword finger at the core position of the runes.

"Hum~"

The sword body vibrated slightly, and the blood-colored runes on its surface ignited with blood-red flames.

The original Refined Gold Magical Artifact sword gradually melted, and the pure gold Qi merged into the blood-colored runes.

As the sword melted, the runes began to shrink and aggregate, gradually transforming into a dark red 'seed'.

Natal Sword Seed!
