Chapter 11: Continuity
Half an hour later, the restriction of the Fifth Elder’s cave was triggered again.
The Fifth Elder unleashed a spirit technique.
Soon, a beautiful woman in her thirties walked in.
"Grandpa!"
The woman saw the Fifth Elder and immediately called out respectfully.
"Ruyu, sit down and talk!"
"Okay, Grandpa!"
"Ruyu! How long have you been stuck in the late Golden Core stage?" the Fifth Elder asked Yan Ruyu.
"Thirty years," Yan Ruyu replied.
"Grandpa has a task for you to complete. If you succeed, I will spend a large price to help you obtain a Breaking Infant Pill," the Fifth Elder told Yan Ruyu.
"Really, Grandpa? What’s the task? I’ll take it."
Upon hearing that completing the task would reward her with a Breaking Infant Pill, Yan Ruyu became excited.
Her cultivation level was currently stuck in the late Golden Core stage, and obtaining a Breaking Infant Pill would greatly increase her chances of breaking into the Nascent Soul stage.
If she could break into the Nascent Soul stage, her lifespan would greatly increase.
"It’s like this…"
Quickly, the Fifth Elder explained the details of the task to Yan Ruyu.
"What?"
However, after hearing the task, Yan Ruyu showed a look of disbelief.
"Grandpa, this, this…"
"Ruyu! I’m doing this for the family," the Fifth Elder said.
"And you’re not young anymore; you’re already over three hundred this year, yet you still don’t have a child."
"If you can have a child, you would have someone to care about in the future…"
Half an hour later.
"Grandpa, I agree."
After the Fifth Elder’s continuous persuasion, Yan Ruyu finally agreed.
Her willingness to accept the task was not only due to the temptation of the Breaking Infant Pill but also her desire to have a child.
She had wanted a child for a long time, but after reaching the Golden Core stage, even if she had a husband and worked hard every day, it was not easy to conceive.
If that person could truly give her a child, she would have no regrets.
More than half a month later.
Yan Ruyu was brought to a cave by a Foundation Establishment stage female disciple.
Half an hour later, Yan Ruyu waited in the cave for a man in his twenties to arrive.
The man was not exactly handsome, but he wasn’t ugly either.
"Are you Li Xiaojun?"
Upon seeing the man, Yan Ruyu asked him.
"Uh, yes," Li Xiaojun nodded.
He didn’t expect her to initiate a conversation with him.
In the past, women usually didn’t speak to him.
"Come here!"
Yan Ruyu nodded and beckoned Li Xiaojun with her hand.
【System Notification: Target detected as having top-grade spirit root talent.
1. You can choose to consume 10 years of lifespan to enhance the offspring.
2. You can choose to consume 50 years of lifespan to enhance the offspring.
3. You can choose to consume 250 years of lifespan to enhance the offspring.
4. You can choose to consume 1000 years of lifespan to enhance the offspring.】
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing the system notification, Li Xiaojun was stunned.
He didn’t expect her to possess top-grade spirit roots.
Moreover, there were four choices for enhancing the offspring.
Li Xiaojun hesitated after hearing the system notification.
He was torn between choosing the ordinary 10 years of lifespan to enhance the offspring, or 50 years, or even 250 years, or the highest option of 1000 years.
If he chose 10 years of lifespan, he would earn 990 spirit stones.
Choosing 50 years would earn him 950 spirit stones.
Choosing 250 years would give him 750 spirit stones.
But if he picked the fourth option, he wouldn’t earn a single spirit stone and would have used the opportunity for nothing.
However, she had top-grade spirit roots! If he consumed a thousand years of lifespan to nurture an offspring, he couldn’t even imagine what kind of spirit root talent would emerge.
"What kind of expression is that? Am I not attractive?"
Seeing Li Xiaojun in a daze, Yan Ruyu immediately felt irritated.
Hearing her words, Li Xiaojun snapped back to reality and began to cooperate with her movements.
"System, I choose 4."
In the end, Li Xiaojun decided to choose 4.
Because this was a rare opportunity.
Additionally, he wanted to see what level of spirit roots would come from consuming a thousand years of lifespan to nurture a child.
Half an hour later, Li Xiaojun prepared to get dressed and leave, as was his usual routine.
However, in the next moment, his shoulder was grabbed by a jade-like hand.
“Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay a little longer with me…”
…
After a day and a night, Li Xiaojun staggered out of the cave.
“So terrifying.”
“So terrifying.”
Outside the cave, He Qingqing was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Seeing how Li Xiaojun walked and hearing him mumble softly, He Qingqing immediately covered her mouth and laughed.
When Li Xiaojun returned to his own cave, his wife Wang Qiuyu noticed his condition and came up with a concerned expression.
“Are you okay, dear?”
“I’m fine!”
Li Xiaojun waved his hand.
“Uncle, if there’s nothing wrong, I’ll leave first.”
After escorting Li Xiaojun to his cave, He Qingqing said goodbye to him.
“Wait a moment.” Li Xiaojun called out to He Qingqing.
“What’s up?” He Qingqing quickly asked.
“Could you please tell the Ninth Elder for me that I lost too much in this transaction, and the reward must be doubled,” Li Xiaojun said to He Qingqing.
“Sure.” He Qingqing nodded and left with a smile.
A week later, He Qingqing found Li Xiaojun again and brought him two thousand spirit stones.
Seeing that there really were two thousand spirit stones, Li Xiaojun heaved a sigh of relief.
If it had been only one thousand spirit stones again, then he would have lost a lot.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year had gone by.
During this time, Li Xiaojun completed a task each month on schedule.
Fortunately, the targets of these tasks were only ordinary people, and he only needed to consume 10 years of lifespan each time.
The remaining 990 spirit stones were all his profit.
Additionally, during this six months, his wife Wang Qiuyu became pregnant again.
Wang Qiuyu still did not lose hope and wanted to give Li Xiaojun a son.
…
On May 14, 392 of the Great Scene Dynasty.
In Tianshui City, the Qin family.
“She gave birth! The little miss has been born—it’s a daughter.”
At Biyun Xianzong.
“Ancestor, the family just sent word that Wanru has given birth to a daughter.”
“Mm, send someone with the testing crystal to check the child’s talent.”
“Yes.”
Soon, a female cultivator in Foundation Establishment brought a testing crystal to the Qin family.
Ten minutes later, in a room of the Qin residence, a burst of intense blue light erupted.
“Haha, it’s Exceptional water spirit root!”
“Good, great!”
“Wonderful.”
“Quickly tell the ancestor this good news…”
Seeing that it was an Exceptional water spirit root, everyone present in the Qin family displayed expressions of surprise.
Qin Wanru’s mother was so happy that she shed tears.
Qin Wanru’s father, the head of the Qin family, was equally excited, his face turning bright red.
Soon, the Foundation Establishment female cultivator left the Qin family.
“Ancestor, Qin Wanru’s child has Exceptional water spirit root.”
“Exceptional water spirit root? Great, wonderful!”
Although he was the ancestor of the Qin family and also the Sixth Elder of Biyun Xianzong, he himself only had top-grade spirit roots.
Now that the family had another exceptional spirit root, he felt that his legacy would continue.
