Chapter 1556: Chapter 1556: Pregnancy
Actually, since starting cultivation, I realized that what parents worry about most is their children not having a Spirit Root.
Actually, for them, even without a Spirit Root, it can be developed. But in the end, it’s still better to naturally have one, they don’t want their child to endure such pain.
Thinking about it, they fell asleep. Maybe it’s just a psychological effect.
Tan Shaoting was cooking while grinning foolishly, he was excited just thinking about having a child again.
Both of them and his wife are now cultivators at the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer. Although they’re just over fifty, they’re already high-level cultivators.
Even ordinary people consider having a child at over fifty a joyful event.
He put passion fruit in the spirit rice porridge, as this fruit has very gentle spiritual power, suitable for his wife to eat now.
He brought the porridge inside, and seeing his wife sleeping sweetly, he didn’t want to disturb her, so he quietly withdrew.
He left the Luminous House and set an Eighth Rank Array Plate before going to see Tianyan Daojun.
Tianyan already noticed Tan Shaoting’s action, his mouth twitched incessantly, thinking, "What are you using an Eighth Rank Array Plate here for?"
"Ancestor."
"Sit. Have you finished your tasks?"
Tan Shaoting nodded, "Yes, it’s done. Went quite smoothly, no difficulties."
"That’s good. Do you have any thoughts while you’re here?"
Tan Shaoting hesitated for a moment, "We initially planned to go on a journey. After all, it’s not easy to come here once, and we may not have the opportunity in the future.
However, my wife is pregnant. It’s not safe to take risks now, but since so many disciples are here, I’ll trouble you, Ancestor, to lead them."
Tianyan nodded casually, then widened his eyes, "What did you say?"
"I said please trouble you, Ancestor."
"No, the words before that."
"I can’t take risks."
"The part before that."
"My wife is pregnant."
Tianyan looked at Tan Shaoting incredulously, "You are Nascent Soul Cultivators."
"Yes, we find it quite incredible as well."
Tianyan was extremely envious. Should he also find a female cultivator to try? He’s already over a thousand years old. He doesn’t know if he still has the ability to have children.
However, no man would admit he’s incapable.
"Do you have any special cultivation techniques?"
Tan Shaoting shook his head, "Where would we get any cultivation techniques?"
Tianyan sighed, just forget it, better to find a good disciple in the future. By the way, they’re going to have a child, might as well consider taking the child as a disciple.
But that’s still too early to say. We’ll talk about it later.
"Alright, you don’t have to worry about the disciples’ matters."
"Okay, thank you, Ancestor, I’m heading back."
"Go, go, take good care of your wife."
Why did I start saying "wife" like that too all of a sudden?
Tan Shaoting returned to the Luminous House. His wife was still sleeping; he quietly lay down beside her, watching her curl up into his arms, his face full of joy.
Perhaps due to the pregnancy or the relief from completing the task, she was comfortable lying in her husband’s arms; Su Yuanyuan slept until it was dark.
She woke up from hunger.
Tan Shaoting, seeing his wife awake, hurried to serve her food. Watching her enjoy her meal, he was truly happy.
The five siblings on the mountain found a cave to rest in.
"Big Brother, why are there no high-level demon beasts in such a big mountain range? We’ve spent the whole day here, and the highest is just a Third Rank. Isn’t this too abnormal?"
Qi Yan also nodded, "Yeah, it’s puzzling to me too, we’ve seen many caves along the way, it shouldn’t be just Third-rank demon beasts."
"Could it be similar to the last time when we encountered the Ice Lotus?" Qi Hao said with a smile.
The siblings all nodded, "It’s highly possible."
"In that case, let’s quickly search for it and see what good things there might be."
The three siblings sped up significantly, not knowing what it was or what kind of danger there might be, so they didn’t notify Feng Yan and the others.
Five days later, Qi Hong smiled, "It indeed is something good."
"Second Brother, what is it?"
"Karma Fruit, actually, it’s just a fruit that can purify. The name sounds more impressive than its function. But eating it genuinely removes fatigue, and it tastes quite good."
"Why are there so many demon beasts here, what’s the benefit for them?"
"Demon beasts cultivate their vital essence. It can clear impurities and is very beneficial for their next ascension."
"We don’t really need the fruits; let’s get some branches for later."
"Let’s still get a few for mother, to ease her a bit."
Qi Yan nodded, "Okay, I’ll go."
"Big Brother, that’s like stirring a hornet’s nest."
"No worries, you all set up the array plate and wait for me, it won’t take long."
Indeed, there weren’t a thousand high-level demon beasts there, but at least eight hundred, and there just weren’t enough fruits hanging on the tree, best to take action first.
Qi Wen tossed out an Eighth Rank Array Plate, while Qi Yan, seeing his brother and sister in the array, felt at ease. He stuck on an Invisibility Talisman and quickly approached the Karma Fruit Tree.
Their movement technique didn’t require spiritual power, even high-level demon beasts couldn’t detect him.
Upon reaching the Karma Fruit Tree, using Spirit Manipulation Technique, he collected over ten Karma Fruits and a large branch.
This was under the watchful eyes of all. All the demon beasts charged over like mad.
Qi Yan entered the space, no need to risk it; people should know their own limits.
From the space, he watched the outside madness of the demon beasts, it was quite brutal.
The four brothers also observed the situation from within the array. Knowing Big Brother got hold of it, they also anticipated the beasts fighting over it.
Qi Yan’s space didn’t have the ability to move. He could only watch from a short distance away.
For a whole day, casualties were considerable; the Karma Fruit Tree now only had its trunk left, after all, demon beasts are still beasts, they don’t know to cherish and protect, nor prepare for the next fruition.
Two days later, after the area completely cleared, Qi Yan emerged from the space. He quickly gathered all the branches on the ground, giving them to the long-armed ape to cultivate.
The siblings all emerged, exploring the vicinity; there were quite a number of spirit plants here.
After staying here for three days, they gained quite a lot, though they couldn’t discern what they were or their uses, they only knew they were spirit plants.
Qi Hong had a particular affinity for spirit plants, discovering many with abundant spiritual energy.
As they slowly returned, there were still many spirit plants along the way, their uses unknown but could be categorized.
That night, just as they were preparing to rest, an Eighth Rank Flower Striped Tiger approached.
The Eighth Rank Demon Beast was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Stage, though their siblings had no lack of fighting strength.
"I’ll go first."
Qi Hao stepped up while the four siblings watched.
The Flower Striped Tiger disdained Qi Hao, considering he was a whole major realm lower.
Qi Hao’s swordsmanship was quite cunning, truly a match for the Flower Striped Tiger.
"Could this place where we’ve stayed be the Flower Striped Tiger’s territory? Let’s check its cave later." Qi Xuan said excitedly.
Of course, all agreed; Qi Hao could definitely handle the Flower Striped Tiger.
An hour later, Qi Hong used both swordsmanship and spells to slay the Flower Striped Tiger.
"Why did you have to use spells in the end?" Qi Yan asked.
