Chapter 21: Price Increase
The five major Immortal Sects approached once again and ultimately forced Biyun Xianzong to give up the one-year usage rights for Li Xiaojun.
In response, the upper echelons of Biyun Xianzong could only agree in frustration.
There was no choice; the five major Immortal Sects were too strong.
Qixuan Xianzong.
In the Sect Grand Hall, a group of people were in discussion.
“Sect Master, my Huang Xuanfeng’s Chu Ping’er has top-grade spirit roots; let her go!”
“Sect Master, my Di Xuanfeng’s Gongsun Na also has top-grade spirit roots…”
Upon learning they could obtain offspring with Yin spirit roots, many became restless.
Everyone wanted their related juniors to seize such an opportunity.
Yin spirit roots—raising them would surely lead to becoming a saint.
“Sect Master, I have top-grade spirit roots, and I’m over a thousand years old without children; I also want a child, let me go!” A beautiful woman stood up in the hall.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and involuntarily turned their gazes toward the woman.
“Fourth, Fourth Elder, are you joking?” someone asked in surprise.
Another looked at the man beside the woman.
The man remained calm despite being the focus of so many eyes.
“What? Can’t I have a child?” the woman challenged.
“But don’t you have a partner?” someone remarked, glancing at the man next to her.
“Does having a partner mean I can’t have children?” the woman shot back.
At that moment, the man spoke.
He clasped his hands together and addressed everyone, “Everyone, Mingyue and I are both in the late-stage Nascent Soul; it’s already very difficult for us to have our own children. So if Mingyue can have a child, I support her, and I promise to raise the child as my own.”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Since the partners had said so, what more could they say?
“Since Mingyue wants a child, then you can go,” a middle-aged man said to Dantai Mingyue.
No one objected to Dantai Mingyue going anymore.
Dantai Mingyue had top-grade spirit roots. Considering that those with top-grade spirit roots could give birth to Yin spirit roots, the top-grade spirit root Dantai Mingyue might even bear a child with Yang spirit roots.
If that were the case, Dantai Mingyue’s child would possess the potential of great emperors.
From the attitude of Dantai Mingyue and her partner, it seemed they had discussed this in advance.
However, it was understandable; for them, a child with Yin-Yang spirit roots was worth any price, even if it meant having their partner engage with someone else.
Half a month later, Dantai Mingyue personally arrived at Biyun Sect.
When Dantai Mingyue announced her intention to have a child, everyone at Biyun Xianzong was astonished.
No one expected that Qixuan Xianzong would send their Fourth Elder to request a child.
“Sect Master, this Dantai Mingyue has top-grade spirit roots; wouldn’t her child have Yang spirit roots? That won’t do! If Qixuan Xianmen has a child with Yang spirit roots and we don’t, then in the future…”
“Yes, Sect Master, I must have disciples with Yang spirit roots too…”
“Our Biyun Xianzong only has the Third Elder as a woman with top-grade spirit roots; Sect Master, please talk to the Third Elder…”
“Well, our Immortal Sect still has to wait a year for a quota, so there’s no rush. I will have a good chat with the Third Elder about it…”
When Qixuan Xianmen sent their Fourth Elder Dantai Mingyue to request a child, not only were the people of Biyun Xianzong stunned, but the others among the four great Immortal Sects were also astonished upon hearing the news.
Qingxia Sect.
In the discussion hall!
“Sect Master, Qixuan Xianmen has sent their Fourth Elder Dantai Mingyue with top-grade spirit roots; we can’t fall behind!”
“A child born from top-grade spirit roots could very likely have Yang spirit roots; that’s the potential of great emperors!”
“Our Qingxia Sect has three women with top-grade spirit roots; two of them have partners, so let’s send the unmarried little girl Li Qingping…”
“That’s not appropriate; Qingping is only 16 years old, too young. Let me go instead; I’m 800 years old and want a child, and my husband agrees…”
Within Qingxia Sect, many people debated who should go to Biyun Sect.
The main contenders were the two elders with top-grade spirit roots, the steward, and the master of the 16-year-old top-grade spirit root little girl, Li Qingping.
Everyone wanted a child with the potential of a great emperor.
Even the two women who had partners were no exception.
When faced with the descendants of great emperors, even being a partner would take a back seat.
“Everyone, opportunities do not come only once; there will be more in the future. I propose we let the Sixth Elder go first, and next time, we can send Steward Lin…”
…
While Qingxia Sect deliberated on their choice, other Immortal Sects were also discussing the matter.
Hanhai Xianzong.
As many high-ranking members were discussing candidates, an old woman slowly walked in from outside.
“Supreme Elder, what brings you here?”
Upon seeing the old woman, everyone respectfully bowed.
As everyone bowed, the appearance of the old woman rapidly changed.
Soon, she transformed from a woman who seemed to be in her fifties or sixties into a beautiful woman in her twenties.
For cultivators, appearance can change at any time; they can appear as a youth, middle-aged, or elderly.
“I have lived for over two thousand five hundred years without a capable junior, so let me go…”
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged worried glances.
“What? Is it not allowed? I am an earth spirit root…”
While all the Immortal Sects discussed candidates…
At Biyun Xianzong, Li Xiaojun arrived at a cave once more.
[System Notification: Detected that the target has 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.
5. You can choose to consume 5000 years of lifespan to enhance the offspring.]
“What? Top-grade spirit roots?”
Upon hearing the system notification, Li Xiaojun was stunned.
He looked at the beauty beneath him and momentarily froze.
“Exchange for 5000 years of lifespan.”
“I choose 5.”
Li Xiaojun first exchanged his lifespan and then selected 5.
An hour later.
Li Xiaojun walked out of the cave.
“Qingqing, tell the Ninth Elder that I need ten thousand spirit stones this time; otherwise, I won’t be able to make it up,” Li Xiaojun said to He Qingqing.
“Okay, I will tell the Ninth Elder,” He Qingqing nodded.
Just as Li Xiaojun requested the ten thousand spirit stones, Biyun Xianzong quickly contacted Qixuan Xianmen.
“You arranged for someone with top-grade spirit roots; the cost for Mr. Li is too high, so ten thousand spirit stones are simply not enough. We need a hundred thousand spirit stones…”
