96: Brother Liu, can you take a look at me?

One month later.

The sweet and petite Bai Zhiwei was also about to give birth.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of your thirty-first offspring, Eighth-Grade Spiritual Root, obtained Top-Grade Spirit Stone * 3]

"It's born! It's born!"

Liu Xuan's sister, Liu Miao, walked into the room first and carefully took the baby into her arms.

"Little Brother, look at her, she's so tiny!"

Liu Miao carried the baby over to Liu Xuan, then walked to the bedside to show her to Bai Zhiwei.

Bai Zhiwei hadn't had much to do since coming to the Liu manor, so she had been spending her time in the Peach Garden helping Liu Miao tend to the spirit peach trees; the two shared similar interests and quickly became good friends.

"Zhiwei, this child and I are fated; how about I name her Ling Miao?"

Bai Zhiwei didn't speak; she looked up at Liu Xuan, as she didn't dare to make the decision on naming the child.

Sister Liu Miao followed her gaze and turned back, "Little Brother?"

Liu Xuan nodded with a smile, "Let's listen to Sister!"

It worked out well, as Liu Xuan couldn't be bothered to come up with names anymore; he had already named thirty children, and the novelty and sense of ritual were gradually fading.

"Woo~"

"Ling Miao!"

"Little Ling Miao!"

"Call me Auntie!"

...

Sister Liu Miao was very happy, teasing the wailing infant without feeling annoyed at all.

She looked even happier than Liu Xuan, the father!

Cultivation Chamber.

With a slight movement of his mind, three milky-white Spirit Stones appeared out of thin air in front of Liu Xuan.

Top-Grade Spirit Stone!

They were shaped like eggs, warm and smooth like jade, with inner spiritual light, as if they were inhaling and exhaling the Spiritual Qi in the air.

Even just carrying these items on one's person had the effect of slightly improving one's Physique and increasing one's cultivation.

A Top-Grade Spirit Stone was worth over a thousand, and among low-level Cultivators, it was not considered currency but a luxury item.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion at the Dual Cultivation Hall would occasionally release a few pieces, and otherwise, they would appear from time to time at auctions; according to Liu Xuan's understanding, the price was around two thousand Spirit Stones.

The System rewarded him with three at once, worth six thousand Spirit Stones!

Liu Xuan guessed that the System didn't account for this premium, instead treating each Top-Grade Spirit Stone as a gift worth one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Because when his previous child with an Eighth-Grade Spiritual Root, Liu Ninth Son, was born, the System gift was a Tier 2 Storage Pouch, worth two thousand Spirit Stones, which was three times the difference from this time.

Ordinary offspring were rewarded with about one hundred Spirit Stones, while Ninth-Grade Spiritual Root offspring were rewarded with about five hundred Spirit Stones.

According to the System's pattern, the reward for an Eighth-Grade Spiritual Root offspring should have been around three thousand, not soaring to six thousand Spirit Stones.

However, this was a good thing. With three Top-Grade Spirit Stones, the System gift alone was enough for the child's early growth needs!

'It seems I have to focus on the quality of my offspring from now on!'

The achievement for thirty offspring had been reached; the next offspring quantity achievement should be one hundred.

No matter how hard Liu Xuan tried, that wasn't something he could achieve in a short time; it wasn't as fast as the offspring Spiritual Root quality achievements.

Moreover, ordinary offspring had low cultivation value; if they couldn't reach a higher Realm, they would have no value to him in the Late Stage.

Offspring with Spiritual Roots were different; they could have better futures. The better the talent of the offspring, the greater the boost to Liu Xuan's cultivation, and it would last longer.

...

Another month later.

In this month, three children were born to ordinary Concubines in succession; fate did not favor them, and none of them had Spiritual Roots.

Liu Xuan was already used to it. He had been mentally prepared, so he didn't feel any disappointment.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; at least Liu Xuan could provide them with more support than most children with the same talent.

Who told Liu Xuan to have so many Spirit Stones! There was no need to be so calculating. With that energy, it would be better to favor two more Concubines, and he would earn back more than enough.

By now, the Concubines Liu Xuan had been diligently favoring had basically all given birth. The next one about to give birth was Senior Sister Qin Yun, who was eight months pregnant.

Yan Qingyao had also been pregnant for half a year. In the entire Liu manor, besides the Cauldrons Liu Sisi and Yang Rongrong, there were only ordinary Concubines.

This wasn't enough!

It was time to return to the Sect to help those eighteen-year-old female Disciples who had just entered the Sect and were lost and helpless!

With Xia He and She Xiaorong looking after the Liu manor, and no need to worry about Qin Yun and Yan Qingyao on Lake Heart Island, Liu Xuan casually gave a few instructions and then boarded the Iron Feather Eagle to return to the Sect.

He first went back to the Talisman shop to settle Little Shadow and the Iron Feather Eagle, then Liu Xuan flew directly toward the Sect on his sword.

Red Pine Sect Outer Sect.

In a few days, it would be the day of the annual Outer Sect assessment, and many young students from various Dao Academies had already begun to arrive.

"Three years already!"

Seeing the occasional immature Faces, Liu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Having been in this world for three years, his cultivation had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he had recently broken through to the fifth level of Body Refining. He had become a Personal Disciple of a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, the head of the Outer Sect Talisman Hall, and was also a father of over thirty children. It was quite decent!

After sighing, Liu Xuan flew directly to the Dual Cultivation Hall. He hadn't come back this time to visit his wives and children, but because he had serious business!

Dual Cultivation Hall.

After asking around, Liu Xuan found Liu Qingqing's room.

"Greetings, Hall Master Liu!"

Liu Qingqing was surprised for a moment when Liu Xuan appeared, then she curtsied to greet him.

"Miss Liu, no need for formalities; we are old acquaintances!"

Liu Xuan said, waving his hand.

Liu Qingqing was happy; with Liu Xuan's current status and position, being treated as an acquaintance by him was something she could show off.

Liu Xuan didn't waste time and just said, "I'm looking for you this time for the same reason as before: I want to scout a batch of Dao Companions, and I need you to help me arrange it."

A batch of Dao Companions?

Liu Qingqing was stunned for two seconds. As far as she knew, Liu Xuan already had seven Dao Companions and Concubines within the Sect alone, and even more outside, and he had fathered who knows how many children...

He wanted another batch of Dao Companions! How many Dao Companions did he need to be satisfied??

She only heard Liu Xuan continue, "Unlike last time, make a bigger commotion this time. As long as they are chosen by me, the minimum treatment will be five Spirit Stones per month. The higher the talent, the better the treatment, with no upper limit!"

With great power comes great responsibility; Liu Xuan intended to help a few more pitiful students this time.

"Um..."

"Senior... Senior Brother Liu, do they have to be newly admitted students?"

Liu Qingqing said hesitantly.

"Hmm?"

Liu Xuan was taken aback! He asked, "Miss Qingqing, what do you mean..."

"What I mean is, with your current status, there must be many female Cultivators in the Sect willing to be your Concubines. Are you interested?"

Liu Qingqing said, staring at Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan thought about it carefully and nodded. Liu Qingqing made sense; as long as the talent was decent, the body was pure, and the appearance was good, the other conditions didn't need to be so strict.

"In that case!"

Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "As long as they have a clean background and are not ugly, you can introduce them to me. There will be a generous reward after the matter is done!"

Liu Xuan would be doing this every year in the future. The Dual Cultivation Hall was professional in this regard, and he would often need Liu Qingqing, so he didn't mind giving her some benefits.

Hearing Liu Xuan's words, a flash of joy clearly appeared on Liu Qingqing's Face. She bit her lip and made up her mind, saying:

"Senior Brother Liu, can you look at me?"

"???"

Liu Xuan was stunned!
