Chapter 67: The Daughters Are Very Filial
Just half a month after Yan Qingwu’s spirit root was enhanced, Tianlan Empress, Luoyi Yi, also brought a little boy to Li Xiaojun.
In addition, she presented Li Xiaojun with one hundred thousand superior grade spirit stones and over ten million top-grade spirit stones.
Seeing her daughter so considerate, Li Xiaojun readily enhanced Luoyi Yi’s Yang spirit root to the level of an Immortal spirit root.
"Thank you, Dad! Thank you!"
After the enhancement, Luoyi Yi quickly expressed her gratitude to Li Xiaojun.
"Don’t worry, Dad. In the future, I will definitely find more spirit stones for you!"
To obtain a spirit root better than the Immortal spirit root, Luoyi Yi was determined to give it her all.
Six months later.
One after another, Li Xiaojun’s other daughters who were great empresses arrived at Autumn Rain Star.
They all saw Li Xiaojun and presented him with a large sum of spirit stones as gifts.
As a return gift, Li Xiaojun enhanced all of his daughters’ spirit roots.
"Dad, Liu Hongxia is here. She wants to see you."
One day, Li Ziwei found Li Xiaojun and said.
"Liu Hongxia, what does she want to see me for?" Li Xiaojun frowned and asked.
"Maybe it’s about the spirit root issue."
Hearing this, Li Xiaojun waved his hand: "Not seeing her. Tell her to go back where she came from."
Li Xiaojun had no good feelings toward Liu Hongxia.
"Dad, Liu Hongxia brought one hundred thousand superior grade spirit stones as an apology gift."
"What does one hundred thousand superior grade spirit stones matter? Do I need her little offering? No, no, I’m not seeing her, and I won’t enhance her spirit root. She should give up on that idea." Li Xiaojun continued to wave his hand.
"Alright then."
……
"Liu Hongxia, you should go back. My dad said he doesn’t want to see you."
Outside the Empress’s palace, Li Ziwei said lightly to Liu Hongxia.
"Ziweijie, I truly came here to admit my mistakes to our dad this time…"
"Save your little schemes. If my dad didn’t have the ability to enhance your spirit root, would you be coming here to apologize?"
"The things you’ve done to my dad have hurt him too much. He said that even if he dies, he won’t enhance your spirit root, so you should give up on that hope."
"Furthermore, everyone else knows what you have done to my dad, so I advise you not to have any bad thoughts. Otherwise, don’t say we are bullying you."
After saying this, Li Ziwei ignored Liu Hongxia and turned to leave.
Seeing Li Ziwei walk away, Liu Hongxia’s gaze shifted, and after a moment, she sighed and left as well.
"Alas! If I had known, I should have treated this dad better."
But now, it was all too late!
If time could go back a few years, she would definitely treat this stepfather as she did her own mother.
"Hmph, but time is long, just wait and see."
……
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.
Li Ziwei and Li Ziyao, having become Immortal spirit root children, could break through to become immortals and ascend at any moment.
However, both of them resolutely chose not to do so.
They decided to suppress their cultivation and stay in the cultivation world for several thousand to tens of thousands of years longer.
The main reason for wanting to stay longer was that they wanted to gather more spirit stones and then have Li Xiaojun help them enhance their spirit root levels.
If they ascended now, who knows if their father would be able to fully help enhance their spirit roots.
Additionally, Li Xiaojun had given birth to over ten Immortal spirit root children.
They needed to cultivate these children to help them break through to the Late Tribulation stage great emperor realm and inherit their legacy before they could safely ascend.
So, considering all these factors, even if they could ascend right away, they would not do so.
Of course, the same thought applied to Li Xiaojun’s other daughters as well.
This time, Li Ziwei brought back 14 Immortal spirit root children.
Li Ziwei and Li Ziyao each took two, while the rest were given to Li Xiaojun’s other daughters for cultivation.
Of course, Liu Hongxia was not included among these daughters.
Li Ziwei also asked Li Xiaojun for his opinion on these Immortal spirit root children.
If Li Xiaojun wanted to raise them himself, she would listen to him.
However, Li Xiaojun did not want to keep these daughters by his side.
In the past, his wife Wang Qiuyu helped him take care of the children, and she managed everything at home in an orderly manner.
Now, having to take care of so many children alone, he feared it would be a hassle.
So instead of keeping them close, he preferred to let his daughters help him raise them.
These children would require a lot of resources for cultivation; only his great emperor daughters could afford that.
"System, can you absorb spirit stones a bit faster?"
After arriving at Autumn Rain Star, Li Xiaojun spent over a year almost constantly absorbing spirit stones.
However, even with him absorbing spirit stones twenty-four hours a day, he could only absorb four billion energy value in a month, which totals to 48 billion spirit stones a year.
His daughters had delivered over thirteen trillion spirit stones to him in the past year, and at this absorption rate, he would need twenty-seven years.
In the past, he struggled because he didn’t have enough spirit stones to absorb!
Now, he had way too many spirit stones, and the system simply couldn’t keep up.
Who would have thought that this situation would become Li Xiaojun’s current distress?
If it took twenty-seven years to absorb thirteen trillion, then to reach the hundred trillion energy value needed for the system upgrade, wouldn’t it take over two hundred years?
Thinking about the need to continuously absorb spirit stones for over two hundred years made him shudder with fear.
【System Notification: As long as the host places the energy into the system space and gives permission, the system can automatically absorb the energy…】
A system notification appeared in Li Xiaojun’s mind.
However, upon seeing the system notification, Li Xiaojun froze.
"System, why didn’t you say this earlier?"
Li Xiaojun felt completely overwhelmed.
So all that time he spent absorbing spirit stones was unnecessary.
An easier way was simply to place the spirit stones in the system space, and with his authorization, the system could absorb the energy itself, not requiring him to individually absorb them one by one.
Wow.
At that moment, Li Xiaojun felt like cursing.
【System Notification: The system requests host authorization to absorb energy from the space. Do you confirm authorization?】
"Confirm."
Upon confirming, the system indeed began to absorb the spirit stone energy that he had placed in the system space.
Li Xiaojun also discovered that the system’s absorption rate was over twice as fast as his own.
"WTF…"
Li Xiaojun finally couldn’t hold back and cursed.
……
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a decade had gone by.
One day,
Li Xiaojun called several of his Late Tribulation stage great emperor daughters to his side.
"I have absorbed enough energy to enhance the spirit root of one of you. This time, I can upgrade one of your Immortal spirit roots to the level of low-level acquired divine demons. Who wants to be the first to enhance their spirit root?" Li Xiaojun asked his daughters.
After absorbing spirit stones for ten years, Li Xiaojun had accumulated nearly one trillion system energy values.
Therefore, he decided to give back a little to his daughters, providing them with some hope so they would continue to gather spirit stones for him.
After all, simply giving without seeing any returns would eventually dampen anyone’s enthusiasm.
