“Another top-grade spirit root!”
“It seems that Biyun Xianzong must have already learned that secret.”
“I choose option 4.”
Li Xiaojun, as always, chose to consume the most lifespan to conceive a child.
…
An hour later, before Li Xiaojun could put on his clothes, the woman quickly dressed and flew out of the cave.
After she left, Li Xiaojun finally got dressed and organized himself before leaving the cave.
Outside the cave, He Qingqing had already released the flying boat and was waiting.
Li Xiaojun stepped onto the flying boat, but He Qingqing had no intention of talking to him and quickly activated the boat to soar into the sky.
Half an hour later, He Qingqing brought Li Xiaojun back to the cave at Bixiao Peak.
“Qingqing, tell the Ninth Elder that it’s still five thousand spirit stones this time,” Li Xiaojun instructed her as she was leaving.
“Understood.” He Qingqing nodded expressionlessly and quickly activated the flying boat to leave.
…
A week later, a tall, beautiful woman with an air of nobility approached Li Xiaojun!
“Greetings, Third Elder.” Upon seeing the woman, Li Xiaojun promptly bowed to her.
It turned out that the visitor was the Third Elder of the sect, Fairy Yunxia Liu Ruoge.
“Here is your payment.”
Liu Ruoge handed a bag to Li Xiaojun, which contained five thousand spirit stones!
“Next month, Qingqing will no longer be in charge of your tasks. From now on, I will take over your tasks. My cultivation level is higher, making it easier to protect your safety,” Liu Ruoge said lightly to Li Xiaojun.
Hearing this, Li Xiaojun nodded, “Thank you, Third Elder.”
He had no objections about who would take over for him, as having objections wouldn’t matter; the Immortal Gate wouldn’t listen to him.
As a mere mortal, if he didn’t cooperate, the Immortal Gate had countless ways to force him to comply.
Having the Third Elder of the Immortal Sect handle this matter demonstrated the sect’s importance on him.
“Third Elder, I don’t want my daughter to know about this, so can you keep it from her?” Li Xiaojun asked Liu Ruoge.
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Liu Ruoge nodded, “Rest assured, your daughter will not know about this matter.”
As a great cultivator, she could manage this.
Time passed without urgency, and Li Xiaojun continued to complete his tasks every month as usual.
Three months later, Liu Ruoge once again brought Li Xiaojun to a cave.
“You can go in now,” Liu Ruoge instructed Li Xiaojun in a dispassionate tone.
“Alright,” Li Xiaojun nodded.
Li Xiaojun walked into the cave and immediately saw a familiar figure.
The moment he saw the figure, he instinctively wanted to step back.
However, in the next moment, he felt completely unable to move.
At that moment, a magnetic voice rang out.
“What’s wrong? Are you so scared to see me?” Yan Ruyu asked Li Xiaojun with a smile.
“N-no,” Li Xiaojun quickly shook his head.
“Come here and serve me,” Yan Ruyu beckoned to Li Xiaojun in a tempting manner.
In the next instant, Li Xiaojun felt the bindings disappear from his body.

“I choose option 4.”
A day and night later, Li Xiaojun somewhat trembled as he walked out of the cave.
Seeing Li Xiaojun’s state, Liu Ruoge, who was meditating in the cave, couldn’t help but smile.
“A mere mortal could actually withstand the pressure from a Golden Core stage female cultivator; that’s quite impressive,” Liu Ruoge’s calm voice reached Li Xiaojun’s ears.
“Third Elder, please take me back,” Li Xiaojun said, wanting to say no more and just get some good sleep.
A few minutes later, Li Xiaojun returned to the cave on Bixiao Peak.
As a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the Third Elder’s flying speed was much faster than the Golden Core stage He Qingqing.
Back in the cave, Li Xiaojun had a meal and quickly fell asleep.
After a day and night of expenditure, even with the system, Li Xiaojun still felt a bit overwhelmed.
A year quickly passed.
During that year, Li Xiaojun’s growth was facilitated by the women arranged by the Immortal Gate, all of whom possessed spirit root talent.
Therefore, the Immortal Gate must have discovered the secret of the spirit roots with certainty.
However, in that year, most of the women arranged by the Immortal Gate had middle-grade spirit roots, with only a few having top-grade spirit roots.
Regardless, whether it was middle-grade or top-grade roots, Li Xiaojun always requested five thousand spirit stones from the Immortal Gate.
Upon learning that middle-grade roots could give birth to heavenly spirit roots and that top-grade roots could conceive children with Yin spirit roots, the Immortal Gate naturally didn’t mind paying such a sum of spirit stones.
Thus, in one year, Li Xiaojun earned nearly fifty thousand energy value.
Adding the more than twenty thousand energy value he had saved before, Li Xiaojun now possessed over seventy-five thousand energy value.
He only needed to earn a bit more than twenty thousand energy value to upgrade the system.
As Li Xiaojun completed his tasks every month, the upper echelons of each family in Biyun Xianzong were all thrilled.
From Li Xiaojun, nearly all families obtained exceptional offspring with excellent spirit root talent.
Especially the Yan family, which had two children with Yin spirit root talent.
Moreover, the Yan family planned to send Yan Ruyu to conceive again when it was their turn.
Yan Ruyu fully agreed; although she had two children with Yin spirit roots, who could complain about having more kids with Yin spirit roots?
Furthermore, on that day, she could indulge a little and enjoy herself; why not?
However, after many families arranged for women with spirit roots to conceive, the news that better spirit roots resulted in higher talent among children naturally reached all families and the upper echelons of the sects.
So starting from the third year, Li Xiaojun noticed that each month when he completed a task, he had to consume a thousand years of lifespan to conceive offspring.
This meant that from the third year onward, all the offspring he conceived would have Yin spirit root talent.
As Li Xiaojun approached the end of the third year in the Immortal Gate, the news that Biyun Xianzong could cultivate geniuses in bulk was finally leaked out and discovered by other sects.
That day, the Sect Masters of the Five Major Immortal Sects arrived together to negotiate with Biyun Xianzong.
“Sect Master Luo, we know that your sect can cultivate top-grade spirit roots in bulk. Let’s be straightforward; hand over the method, or we will have no choice but to unite and destroy you…”
