Chapter 348: Source of Bloodline

"Dad, what are these?"

Yan Qingling asked Li Xiaojun in surprise.

Just moments ago, her biological father had teleported hundreds of strange creatures’ corpses into her space, leaving her quite puzzled.

"These are demon corpses. You can purify their essence. I also sent you a jade slip with the instructions on how to handle these demon corpses. Just take a look, and you’ll understand," Li Xiaojun explained.

Hearing her father’s words, Yan Qingling quickly took out the jade slip and, in an instant, read through all the content within.

"Thank you, Dad! You are so wonderful!" Yan Qingling exclaimed gratefully to her father.

She never expected that there would be such amazing things as demon essence in the world.

This was fantastic!

Originally, consuming elixirs could boost her cultivation speed by forty to fifty times.

Now, with this demon essence, wouldn’t it mean her cultivation speed could potentially increase a hundred times?

If her cultivation speed truly increased a hundred times, then cultivating for one year would be equivalent to cultivating for a hundred years.

Cultivating for a hundred years would be the same as cultivating for ten thousand years.

With her current power at mid Profound Immortal stage, she was confident she could break through to the late Celestial Immortal stage within a hundred years, reach True Immortal within two hundred years, and then break through to Profound Immortal in three thousand years and to Golden Immortal in thirty thousand years.

Who could achieve Golden Immortal in thirty thousand years?

Of course, this relied on having plenty of demon essence available for her.

"Yan Qingling, first purify the demon essence from these demon corpses, then return it to me, and I’ll help you refine some elixirs. This way, the effect will be greatly enhanced," Li Xiaojun told Yan Qingling.

This time, he had hunted several tens of thousands of demons, and handling this many demon corpses alone to extract the essence would be too troublesome for him.

So, Li Xiaojun thought of having his daughters do the refining themselves.

After all, all this demon essence would be for his daughters, and he would just take out some Spiritual Items to help refine a few elixirs.

If he had to refine the essence himself and make elixirs, it would take too much time, and many of his children wouldn’t receive their share in a short time.

After connecting with Yan Qingling, Li Xiaojun reached out to Li Yuting, Li Yufei, Li Ziwei, Li Ziyao, and many of his daughters.

He gave each daughter several hundred demon corpses to refine their own essence.

Additionally, he also assigned tasks to his more than one hundred children in the Kunlun Realm, each receiving dozens to hundreds of demon corpses.

However, with so many demon essences to refine into elixirs, he found his Spiritual Items were not enough.

So, Li Xiaojun decided to refine a portion of elixirs for each daughter, while the remaining demon essence would be left for them to consume directly. Although the effects wouldn’t be as good as the refined elixirs, they would still be very impressive.

After dealing with the demon corpses, Li Xiaojun asked about the demon spies.

"Dad, the demon spies seem to have discovered the traps we set, so they haven’t shown up for the past several years," Li Bai reported to Li Xiaojun.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaojun thought for a moment and replied, "They probably noticed that most of the others have hidden away, leaving only a few people out here. It would be strange if the demon spies didn’t become suspicious."

Demons weren’t foolish. When Li Xiaojun’s children suddenly disappeared, leaving only a few outside, they would definitely consider whether it was a trap.

Moreover, the most important thing was that even after capturing two of Li Xiaojun’s sons, the late Golden Immortal demons could only watch as the others vanished.

Such an outcome would naturally raise their alertness.

Li Xiaojun found himself at a loss with the situation.

All he could do was let his children spend more time in seclusion, hoping that after a while, the demon tribe would stop targeting them.

"Dad, I’ve extracted some demon essence,"

Yan Qingling brought a large amount of demon essence to Li Xiaojun one day.

These demon essences were from the Profound Immortal realm, perfectly suitable for Yan Qingling.

"Great, I will start refining elixirs for you right away."

After spending a few days, Li Xiaojun managed to produce over one hundred elixirs for Yan Qingling.

These elixirs would last her for hundreds of years.

"Thank you, Dad," Yan Qingling said happily as she received the elixirs.

Soon after Li Xiaojun helped Yan Qingling with her elixirs, other children began bringing their own extracted demon essences for him to refine as well.

With so many children, it took Li Xiaojun nearly twenty years to finish refining elixirs for everyone.

While Li Xiaojun was busy helping his children, a situation arose across various regions of the Human Race.

Several families discovered that all their children possessed spirit roots, with at least many of them having top-grade spirit roots.

This situation immediately caused a huge stir among the Human Race.

Everyone knew that apart from the path of immortality in the Kunlun Realm, there was no other way to cultivate. To become an immortal, one must have spirit roots.

Regardless of their quality, having spirit roots was essential.

Even with low-level spirit roots, as long as there were enough resources, one could have the opportunity to become an immortal.

But without spirit roots, no matter how many resources one had, it was useless since one couldn’t even cultivate.

When many families learned that there were families where both boys and girls possessed spirit roots, the excitement was unmistakable.

Afterward, numerous families sought to form alliances through marriage with these families and found that the women they married also bore children with spirit roots.

Thus, as long as they continued to intermarry with such bloodlines, their descendants would eventually all have spirit roots.

This remarkable situation caused a sensation, especially among the upper echelons of the Human Race.

Even the Taiyi and Da Luo of the Human Race took notice of the news.

Investigations eventually traced the source of these bloodlines back to the Li family in the Holy City of Nuwa.

These families were all descendants of Li Xiaojun’s children.

Furthermore, all of Li Xiaojun’s children not only possessed spirit roots but had also become immortals.

Among them, Li Bai stood out for possessing the qualifications of Da Luo.

As soon as this news spread, the Li family bloodline became well-known among the upper ranks of the Human Race in the Kunlun Realm.

Even the Da Luo of the Human Race sought to meet Li Xiaojun, curious about what set him apart.

However, Li Xiaojun had already left; he didn’t want to meet the Da Luo.

What if the Da Luo intended to harm him? He could be in danger, so he couldn’t take any risks.

Moreover, he didn’t want the Da Luo to see that all his children were exceptional and perhaps expect him to have more.

It was better to flee for now.

The Li family bloodline became famous in the Kunlun Realm.

As a result, countless families sought to establish connections through marriage.

Many people made efforts to send women to Li Xiaojun’s children or sought to marry daughters from the Li family bloodline.

For instance, many descendants of Li Xuan, who had initially expanded her family tree in the public domain, had scattered throughout the common people.

However, once the news about the Li family bloodline came to light, all her descendants were quickly identified.

Suddenly, her heirs became sought after.

A middle-aged man named He Yue, from a rural family, discovered that he possessed the Li family bloodline through his mother.

His daughter, aged 17, was originally set to be engaged to a farmer’s son from the same village.

However, once the news broke, she was noticed by the royal family of the Da Qian Dynasty and was betrothed to the current prince as a Royal Consort.

What’s more, the emperor gifted He Yue several beautiful women as concubines, with the intentions obvious.

Not just He Yue, but all men with the Li family bloodline received similar treatment.

Meanwhile, unmarried women with Li family bloodlines became the focus of pursuit by many powerful factions within the Human Race.

Fortunately, after years of development, the Li bloodline had exceeded ten million descendants.

Thus, most families managed to marry women with the Li family bloodline.

It is foreseeable that as the Li family bloodline continues to flourish, in just a few years, it could spread throughout the entire Kunlun Realm among the Human Race.

Of course, this is contingent on the condition that every new born from the Li family continues to inherit spirit roots.
