Chapter 57: So, What Now? Let’s Add Some Money
“Wait a minute, wait a minute—I have something to say.”
Li Xiaojun quickly called for a stop.
Hearing Li Xiaojun, Yu Shu looked at him closely, eager to hear what he had to say.
“You… you’re here for the Immortal spirit root child, right? But if I don’t agree, I can easily make sure the child is just an ordinary person,” Li Xiaojun spoke a bit breathlessly.
Yu Shu frowned at Li Xiaojun’s words, her beautiful brows knitted. “Are you saying you can control what kind of spirit root the child has?”
“Yes, if you don’t believe me, we can give it a try. What you’ll end up with is only an ordinary child,” Li Xiaojun stared directly at Yu Shu.
Yu Shu gazed at Li Xiaojun’s handsome face and thought he might really be telling the truth.
“Then what do you need to have an Immortal spirit root child with me?” Yu Shu asked softly.
“I’ve said it before, if I don’t rest well, it’ll harm my body, in a way that twenty billion spirit stones can’t make up for.”
“So, what now?”
“Therefore, we need to add some money.”
“How much do you want?” Yu Shu readily agreed.
One Immortal spirit root child, if cultivated well, would definitely become a great emperor in the future. For a great emperor, how many spirit stones would they want then?
“At least one hundred billion.”
Li Xiaojun’s demand was five times more than before.
“Okay.”
Yu Shu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s request of one hundred billion.
As one of the Empress’s most trusted subordinates, she could easily come up with one hundred billion spirit stones.
One hundred billion was just ten thousand superior-grade spirit stones.
In the next moment, she waved her hand, and ten thousand superior-grade spirit stones appeared on the bed.
Seeing the superior spirit stones, Li Xiaojun nodded and quickly collected them.
“I’ve given you one hundred billion, so let’s begin. You need to give me one hundred billion as well.”
Yu Shu eagerly began to unbutton Li Xiaojun’s clothes.
“I’ll do it myself.”
Since they had already agreed on the terms, Li Xiaojun no longer resisted.
Isn’t communication just communication with anyone?
This one interaction is worth more than five with other people, so what’s the point of resisting?
Li Xiaojun secretly encouraged himself.
[System Notification: Target detected with superior-grade spirit root talent…]
“I choose 6.”
In the end, Li Xiaojun chose to spend twenty-five thousand years of lifespan to give birth to an Immortal spirit root child. After all, he could not go back on his word since the payment had already been made.
An hour later, Yu Shu happily left.
[System Notification: Bloodline descendants have been born with top-grade spirit roots; please check…]
Just as Yu Shu departed, Li Xiaojun suddenly received a system notification in his mind.
This system notification was triggered by Li Xiaojun.
As long as his bloodline descendants had top-grade spirit roots, the system would notify him.
Soon, Li Xiaojun saw the information about his bloodline descendant.
[Name: Not available.
Gender: Male.
Age: 0 years.
Talent: Top-grade fire spirit roots…]
From the information provided by the system, he could only infer that this was a boy, aged 0 years, just born and not yet named.
This boy had top-grade fire spirit roots.
“System, fourfold strengthening,” Li Xiaojun ordered the system.
[System Notification: Strengthening… Strengthening successful.]
After the fourfold strengthening, the fire spirit root of this bloodline descendant transformed into a Yang spirit root, endowed with the potential of great emperors.
Strengthening this child cost Li Xiaojun over eleven million energy value.
[Name: Not available.
Gender: Male.
Age: 0 years.
Talent: Yang fire spirit roots…]
Li Xiaojun chose to strengthen the bloodline descendant’s spirit root not because his spirit stones were excessively abundant.
But because the better the spirit root of the bloodline descendant, the higher their future cultivation level. When he passed away, he would also receive more cultivation points in return.
At this moment, Li Xiaojun essentially acted as an investor, waiting for the company to go public to share in the profits.
Although that sounds a bit harsh, it was a win-win outcome for both the bloodline descendant and Li Xiaojun himself.
Without Li Xiaojun, the boy would only have been a top-grade spirit root with limited achievements, and Li Xiaojun wouldn’t obtain much cultivation value.
Now, by granting him the Yang spirit root, the boy could at least cultivate to the Tribulation stage; with luck and a strong fighting spirit, ascending to become an immortal was not impossible.
With the Yang spirit root given by Li Xiaojun, he had the potential to become an immortal. Once his lifespan expired, Li Xiaojun would also gain a large number of cultivation points in return. Wasn’t that a win-win situation?
In this process, the only loss for Li Xiaojun was just a bit of system energy value.
At that moment, as Li Xiaojun conducted the fourfold strengthening of his bloodline descendant, far more than five hundred light-years away on another planet in a different star system, a baby boy was born.
This was a planet unsuitable for ordinary people to survive. The planet had no plants, no air, and no oceans.
It only had harsh living conditions, with daily temperature differences of over one hundred degrees between day and night.
To survive on this planet, one had to be at least at Qi Training level six.
This planet had many spirit stone mines and spirit gold mines. Most people who lived here initially came to mine and then settled down, forming human communities.
In every large human settlement, there were areas suitable for ordinary people to live. These places could only temporarily accommodate mothers who needed to give birth, ensuring that the newborns could survive.
However, once the people here had children, they performed spirit root testing.
If the child had spirit roots, they could stay and be nurtured until they were able to survive on this planet.
If not, the baby would be sent to a planet suitable for ordinary people, such as Taihuang Star or Autumn Rain Star.
In one property, a baby had just been born. The mother, looking weathered, had a cultivation level of Qi Training level six, just enough to survive on this planet.
At that moment, several people in white coats entered, the lead one holding a crystal ball.
“Ms. Chen, we are going to conduct the spirit root testing on your child now,” the leading person in a white coat said with a smile.
“Okay,” the woman nodded.
This situation was something every mother on this planet experienced.
If the child had spirit roots, they would be allowed to remain in the ordinary people’s area until they could cultivate enough to survive on this planet.
If the child lacked spirit roots, they would be sent away.
If the parents were reluctant to part with their child, they could also choose to take the child with them and raise them themselves.
