Chapter 10: Powerful Noble Immortal

"Five, ten, give us some money, we want to buy candy."

"Be careful, don't fall, sweetie."

After Liu Mengmeng received some money from the six girls, she happily took Wang Qilin to buy candy.

These six girls all came from noble families, and their manners and education were impeccable. Especially in the Wang mansion, with four older sisters already present, they upheld a strong sense of hierarchy.

There were no power struggles in the palace, thanks to Wang Xuan's immense charm and vitality. He wished for a harmonious family life.

He spent half a month building relationships and exchanging thoughts with these six talented young women. After a month of enjoyment, other concubines became pregnant.

"Husband, am I unable to conceive?"

Su Yuanru lay languidly, her eyes seductive. "Don't stop, let's try again."

As the woman who had been with Wang Xuan the longest, she understood the situation in the Wang mansion. Although everyone got along well, in certain matters, women had to determine their worth.

One such matter was giving birth to the husband's children. If she couldn't conceive, she would lose her value.

"It's fine even if you can't conceive. We have so many children; you can help raise them," Wang Xuan reassured her, patting her hand. "Don't worry too much. You'll also be a grandmother one day, watching Mengmeng build her own family."

Su Yuanru felt touched. Her husband had indeed changed a lot, becoming more affectionate and still captivated by her charms. However, he couldn't control the matter of pregnancy. He could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

The child born from Mingzhu, Wang Xuan's first wife, was named Wang Xi. He possessed extraordinary innate talent that was not found in the common populace. According to Wang Xuan's estimation, half of the child's innate talent had transferred to his own.

As time passed, Liu Mengmeng grew another year older. Wang Xuan personally hosted a birthday banquet for her, celebrating her transition into adulthood.

The day after the birthday banquet, a sword aura landed in the Wang mansion. Sensing the fluctuation of spiritual energy, Wang Xuan came out to investigate and found it was Feng Xiaoxi, who had visited the previous year.

In this year, Wang Xuan had nine children, none of whom had spiritual roots. He had been disappointed for a while but quickly put it behind him.

The full-year gift, known as the "one-penny cash gift for a full meal," had become famous throughout Xuan Nation. Many wandering people and beggars flocked to Feng City to settle down, making the local officials both excited and anxious. After all, there were immortals in the city, so they couldn't afford to be too harsh.

After the full-year gift ceremony, Wang Xuan gained an additional 180 years of cultivation. On the day of receiving the reward, his cultivation level once again increased, reaching the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

Combined with his original cultivation and the cultivation granted by the system, he had broken through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining. However, due to his limited aptitude, even with self-cultivation, building a foundation was challenging, let alone breaking through the limits of Qi Refining.

Two months later, Wang Xuan organized a sixteenth birthday celebration for Liu Mengmeng.

In Xuan Nation, boys reached adulthood at eighteen, while girls did so at sixteen. The task he had been entrusted with years ago was now officially completed.

The next day, two sword auras descended on the Wang mansion.

"Feng sister."

"Congratulations, Mengmeng, you're an adult now."

Liu Mengmeng happily greeted Feng Xiaoxi. Over the years, she had become close to her "sister."

Feng Xiaoxi patted her head. "Time passes so quickly. The little girl from back then has grown into a graceful young lady."

Wang Xuan stood to the side, feeling emotional. "Ten years ago, I was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and now, ten years later, I'm at the twelfth level. No one would believe it."

But it was clear that Feng Junior Sister had made significant progress. "Congratulations on achieving Foundation Establishment."

"Of course, call me 'senior' a few more times, Senior Brother."

Feng Xiaoxi felt proud, as she was now a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Wang Xuan sighed and complied.

Su Yuanru and the other women stood at a distance, and she looked down at her hand. It had been ten years. Time had passed so quickly. She had taken good care of herself, but the years had still left their marks on her face.

Compared to her, Wang Xuan seemed to grow younger with time. Mortals and immortals truly couldn't be compared.

"The ten-year deadline is here. Senior Brother, are you returning with me to the sect, or will you stay in the mortal realm?" Feng Xiaoxi's words made Su Yuanru and the others nervous.

Wang Xuan shook his head. "I want to stay a while longer. After all, the children have just been born."

"Yuan Yuan failed to achieve Foundation Establishment for the second time."

"Although I succeeded in achieving Foundation Establishment, I'm not happy about it."

"Your cultivation is advancing, Senior Brother, but even though I've achieved Foundation Establishment, I can't see through your cultivation."

Feng Xiaoxi felt somewhat disappointed, as she had been hoping that Senior Brother would return to the sect and spend time discussing cultivation and tasks together.

Wang Xuan furrowed his brow. "Yuanru, take care of the family. I'll go to the sect for a while, and it may be a few days or even a few months before I return."

"Husband, go ahead. I'll be here for the family."

Su Yuanru looked complex, but she chose to trust Wang Xuan. Tears filled the eyes of the women, and even Liu Mengmeng's smile vanished from her face.

Two sword auras soared into the sky one after the other.

Wang Qilin sat on the ground, crying loudly. "Sister, is Daddy not coming back?"

Liu Mengmeng comforted him, looking at the sky and murmuring, "Daddy will definitely come back, for sure."
