Chapter 39: Chapter 37 Fallen Genius
[5 years, 180 days, as Jiang Xiaobai was performing the “All Things Growth Skill” in the Tiger and Leopard Forest, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach… Xiaohuo carried Jiang Xiaobai back to the Yang Family’s Manor, and soon, the cries of a baby resounded through the manor.]
[A new member was added to the Yang Family, flourishing the family line, Incense+100!]
“Congratulations to Master Yang, it’s a boy!”
Yang Shi took the child from the midwife’s hands, and the once crying little fellow suddenly stopped, gazing at Yang Shi’s face with a hint of familiarity in his eyes.
“Hahaha~ my child recognizes his daddy.”
“Blessings from our ancestors! The Yang Family has an heir now.”
“Please ancestors, grant a name to the child!”
Yang Shi, holding the child, knelt in front of the ancestors’ memorial tablet with a devout expression.
“I name him… well, that would work.”
Yang Shi was the only one left in the Yang Family, so to distinguish the generations for future descendants, it was naturally necessary to create a method of ranking generations, starting with this child.
“Since I’m acknowledged as the ancestor, starting a new family line, I shall choose a meaningful generation name.”
After Yang Shi waited for a moment, 24 golden characters appeared in the sky.
The first character was “Fu” (wealth).
Yang Shi, looking at the character floating in the sky, felt a burning power emanating from it!
The entire family’s philosophy seemed to be condensed into this character!
“What a commanding presence from the old ancestor!”
“Yang Shi will set this character as the family’s ancestral instruction, to be passed down through generations in our Yang Family!”
The golden characters in the sky changed again.
“From now on, this will be the generational name of the Yang family, with the eldest son having a single character name.”
“This child shall be called… Yang Fu.”
Yang Genshuo felt this name was more comfortable than Yang Zihan, Yang Zihan, or Yang Zihan.
Most importantly, once the descendants of the Yang Family increase in number, he would be able to tell each person’s generation and who is the eldest through their names.
This was very necessary.
“Yang Fu, my son is named Yang Fu, good! Very good!”
Yang Shi, becoming a father for the first time, was so overjoyed he didn’t know what else to say.
“Husband, let me see the child.”
Jiang Xiaobai, being a cultivator, had a body nourished by spiritual energy and had recovered quickly, and by now, she was already able to get out of bed and move around.
“Xiaobai, the child looks a lot like you, I hope he can also be a cultivator like you.”
“When he grows up, I’ll test him to find out.”
Yang Genshuo’s eyes lit up.
“I don’t have to wait, I can see it now.”
After he finished naming him, Yang Fu’s character card could already be accessed. Seeing a faint aura of light on the child, Yang Genshuo was already excited.
“You little guy, you must have good talent! The old ancestor spent 200 of our family’s incense for you!”
[Name: Yang Fu]
[Identity: Son of Yang Shi and Jiang Xiaobai.]
[Life Span: 1/120]
[Spirit Root: Five Spirit Roots (Metal:30, Wood:30, Water:30, Fire:30, Earth:30)]
[Realm: None]
[Comprehension: 50]
[Qi Fortune: 20]
[Talent: Innate Wisdom (Heavenly Level), Fallen Genius (Earth Level)]
“Ah?”
“Ah!”
“Ah!?”
After seeing Yang Fu’s character card, Yang Genshuo let out three exclamations with different intonations, not exaggerating at all, as he was feeling extremely conflicted.
The first “Ah?” was Yang Shi’s disappointment upon seeing the Five Spirit Roots attribute.
The second “Ah!” was seeing the Heavenly Level talent, feeling like the Yang Family was going to soar,
[Innate Wisdom (Heavenly Level): Adds +10 to all Spirit Root attributes, +10 Comprehension.]
He then looked back at the Five Spirit Roots and was shocked to find that all the fundamental properties of the five spirit roots were at 30!
To think, even Jiang Xiaobai’s most prominent Wood Spirit Root was only at 23!
Yang Genshuo had seen a Qi Refining Stage cultivator among the Xuan Stone Sect disciples who had Four Spirit Roots, but none of them had a single Spirit Root reaching 30!
The talent of the Spirit Root was only second to Bai Heyu’s Three Spirit Roots.
As Spirit Root talent determines the speed of cultivation, it largely affects the height one could reach in the future.
This child had strong Spirit Roots and extremely high comprehension; he would surely achieve greatness!
Yang Genshuo hadn’t even finished rejoicing when the second Earth Level talent left him dumbfounded.
[Fallen Genius (Earth Level): Speed of cultivation increases by 99% before Foundation Establishment, decreases by 99% after Foundation Establishment.]
“The good news is: Yang Fu will cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage at an extremely fast speed.”
“The bad news is: Yang Fu might forever stay in the Foundation Establishment stage…”
A single character card had given Yang Genshuo a roller-coaster of emotions.
“What…what exactly is this situation?”
Yang Genshuo couldn’t tell whether it was good or bad.
But from the information currently available, having the talent to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage meant that one could be considered a high-rank cultivator within the Xuan Stone Sect.
The child would still need a few more years before he could begin cultivation, so Yang Genshuo decided to observe for a while and think about the future.
“Overall, these 200 incense offerings… are still useful.”
“Need to keep accumulating more incense.”
Yang Genshuo accelerated time.
There was nothing much to do during this period, and the Yang Family’s development was stable.
Yang Genshuo went to the yard to eat with Lin Yue, who had just finished cooking.
Ding-a-ling~
Seeing that Yang Genshuo actually had time to eat with her, Lin Yue happily shook the wind chime.
Yang Genshuo took out his phone to type.
“Lately… have you felt anything unusual with your body?”
“Eating with Brother Shuo, my appetite has improved, and the rice at home is very fragrant.”
“Hmm, then eat more.”
“Where did you buy it? Lin Yue wants to buy some for her mom.”
“Umm… a friend gave it to me, next time I’ll ask him to bring more.”
“Lin Yue will transfer the money to you.”
“We’ll deduct it from your salary.”
“Oh.”
Yang Genshuo didn’t fret over this bit of Spirit Rice; Lin Yue’s family had a hard time, her mother raising a deaf and mute child by herself was not easy.
After all, Yang Shi contributed Spirit Rice every year, more than he could ever finish eating himself.
Spirit Rice improved the body from the inside out, making overall improvements.

Yang Genshuo felt his bodily functions were comprehensively recovering, especially the damage caused by years of staying up late, overheating, and drinking, which was now slowly disappearing.
The most direct sensation was taste; his taste buds, ravaged by years of heavy salt, heavy oil, and alcohol, could now discern the unique flavor of every green vegetable.
The meals Lin Yue prepared according to nutritional plans, though simply cooked, made him eat several bowls of rice.
His body was gradually recovering its youth and purity… the feeling was incredibly magical.
Unfortunately… Lin Yue’s congenital illness still showed no improvement, and Yang Genshuo could only continue waiting.
After Lin Yue left, Yang Genshuo took out this year’s Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill offered by Yang Shi.
“This is a real Immortal Pill, a First Grade Elixir!”
Universally recognized as a quality elixir in the Immortal Cultivation World, a must-have for every cultivator.
After Jiang Xiaobai had taken it, each of his Five Spirit Roots attributes increased by a point.
Yang Genshuo could confirm that he had no Spirit Roots, but a mortal who consumed it would also strengthen their physique, adding 5 years to their lifespan!
After swallowing it, his belly was full of the elixir’s fragrance.
A hot surge emerged from his dantian, sweeping his entire body! It was like having a steamer inside, constantly forcing out the toxins in his body!
Yang Genshuo’s body had far more toxins than Yang Shi and Jiang Xiaobai.
Every pore was secreting black filth.
In just a moment, his entire body became foul-smelling.
The effect of the medicine lasted for a full hour before the transformation ceased.
He felt like a fatty piece of pork that had been boiled clean, his body giving off a nauseating, pungent stench.
After blanching, the flesh was firm, and a lot of foam had oozed out from the surface.
“Ewww~ so gross!”
Yang Genshuo ran to the bathroom and fiercely scrubbed himself clean.
It was a long while before he came out.
Seeing himself in the mirror, Yang Genshuo was stunned.
“Is this handsome guy me?”
In the mirror, his skin was as smooth as a child’s, incredibly soft.
His body had also slimmed down considerably; what used to be a round face now had angles and edges.
With the significant loss of fat, muscles were now visible, and he felt like he had endless energy!
“I’ve never felt better!”
At that moment, he felt even better than he did at 18!
He weighed himself, 165 pounds!
“Wow, lost 20 pounds from one pill? If I gave two of these to a certain New Year’s movie director, the money would be even easier to earn.”
After handling everything, Yang Genshuo glanced over at Yang Shi’s side.
Nothing much was happening there either.
Yang Shi, apart from practicing martial arts with Liu Wuheng, spent time playing with Jiang Xiaobai and little Yang Fu, enjoying a comfortable life.
If it weren’t for the occasional reports about the situation at Xiang Mansion, Yang Genshuo might have thought Yang Shi had forgotten his grudges.
Watching time quickly pass in the game, Yang Genshuo felt like he had forgotten something.
Until Xu Mengqi’s call came…
