MANY CHILDREN MANY BLESSINGS
Filled with excitement, Xiao Feng carefully placed the child down, considering the opportune age for the child to embark on cultivation. Leaving the room, he sought to absorb the rewards that had just been granted to him. Utilizing the spirit root upgrade card, Xiao Feng elevated his spirit root from 1st medium grade fire spirit root to 1st high grade fire spirit root. A single upgrade away from attaining a 2nd low grade fire spirit root, he reopened his status.
A translucent tab materialized in his mind:
"Host: Xiao Feng
Identity: Xiao Family Head
Age: 16
Cultivation Level: 9th stage of body refinement
Spirit Root: 1st high grade fire spirit root
Cultivation Techniques: Dao Begets Everything Cultivation Techniques
Martial Skill: Sword Cutting the Sky (Earth Low Grade)
Family Nurturing Points: 100
Family Members: 2
System Mall: Opened
Other Commodities: 11,000 spirit stones, 10 origin stones, water wave cultivation techniques, Sky Winding Cultivation Techniques (Low Earth Grade), Starry Sky Fall (High Earth Grade), Family Spirit Root Upgrade Card, Sky Fire Sword (Sky Low Level)"
Fueled by the revelation, Xiao Feng's excitement surged, leading him to contemplate his breakthrough to the Qi refinement stage within three months – a possibility that once seemed remote due to his spirit root. Now, armed with a 1st high grade fire spirit root, he believed he could expedite the process with spirit stones.
Eager to rejoin his wife and newborn, he returned to their presence. Reuniting with his child, Xiao Feng called a maid to secure the necessities for the newborn. Notably, he instructed the maid to acquire graded fruits suitable for infants.
While continuing his cultivation, Xiao Feng also explored the use of the martial skill, "Starry Sky Fall," bestowed upon him by the system. Simultaneously, Han Ruoshi balanced recovery from pregnancy's demands with her own cultivation.
Following three months of personal growth, Xiao Feng experienced a breakthrough, advancing to the 1st stage of Qi refinement. After this achievement, he dedicated time to nurture his child, then requested his status from the system once more:
"Host: Xiao Feng
Identity: Xiao Family Head
Age: 17
Cultivation Level: 1st stage of Qi refinement
Spirit Root: 1st high grade fire spirit root
Cultivation Techniques: Dao Begets Everything Cultivation Techniques
Martial Skills: Sword Cutting the Sky (Earth Low Grade), Starry Sky Fall (High Earth Grade)
Family Nurturing Points: 100
Family Members: 2
System Mall: Opened
Other Commodities: 11,000 spirit stones, 10 origin stones, water wave cultivation techniques, Sky Winding Cultivation Techniques (Low Earth Grade), Starry Sky Fall (High Earth Grade), Family Spirit Root Upgrade Card, Sky Fire Sword (Sky Low Level)"
Realizing he possessed a Family Spirit Root Upgrade Card, Xiao Feng elected to utilize it for Han Ruoshi's benefit.
"System, apply the Family Spirit Root Upgrade Card to Han Ruoshi," Xiao Feng directed.
Additionally, Xiao Feng began honing his skills with the Sky Fire Sword, refining the Sword Cutting the Sky techniques. However, his focus was interrupted when Han Ruoshi entered his chamber, visibly astonished.
"I feel different, as though my spirit root has improved. This is astonishing," Han Ruoshi declared.
Aware of his involvement in this transformation, Xiao Feng remarked casually, "I'm aware of the change. I orchestrated it."
Curiosity evident in her gaze, Han Ruoshi seemed poised to inquire about his actions. Yet, the look in Xiao Feng's eyes dissuaded her from doing so. Intrigued by the enigmatic aura, she refrained.
"Some secrets are best left unspoken. However, rest assured, our lives won't be impacted, and I'm not veering down a treacherous path," Xiao Feng assured, reading her unspoken question.
Using the system, Xiao Feng verified Han Ruoshi's status:
"Name: Han Ruoshi
Spirit Root: 1st medium grade water spirit root
Cultivation Level: 6th stage of body refinement
Cultivation Techniques: Water Wave Cultivation Techniques
Martial Skill: None
Status: Happy, Healthy"
A revelation struck Xiao Feng: "Reproduction and childbirth seem to be the catalysts for enhancing spirit roots and gaining resources such as weapons, cultivation techniques, and martial skills." The connection between family expansion and growth was unmistakable.
Motivated by this insight, Xiao Feng redoubled his efforts to impregnate Han Ruoshi once more. After two months, Han Ruoshi successfully conceived again, a feat that quickly garnered attention. The maids marveled, "Our boss is a family-creating prodigy. He recently welcomed a newborn and now his wife is expecting again."
Filled with anticipation, Xiao Feng embraced the notion of expanding his family while reaping further benefits from the system. As Han Ruoshi's due date approached, Xiao Feng's excitement grew – he was about to welcome more members into his family.
The day arrived, and Han Ruoshi entered labor. Amid the anticipation, the system buzzed in Xiao Feng's mind. Yet, he paid it no heed, focusing on the upcoming moment.
Upon successfully delivering twins, Xiao Feng's attention turned to the newborns. Opening their status, he read:
"Name: Unnamed (Host, please provide a name)
Spirit Root: 2nd grade water spirit root
Cultivation Level: None (cannot cultivate yet)
Status: Healthy"
"Name: Unnamed (Host, please provide a name)
Spirit Root: 2nd medium grade metal spirit root
Cultivation Level: None (cannot cultivate yet)
Status: Healthy"
Radiating excitement, he marveled at the genius of his children – one possessed a 2nd medium grade metal spirit root, a rarity that placed them in a league of their own.
Without hesitation, Xiao Feng named the girl "Xiao Nanshan" and the boy "Xiao Futian." His firstborn, Xiao Cheng, witnessed this development and queried, "Father, are they my siblings?"
Affirming the bond, Xiao Feng replied, "Indeed, they are. As the elder one, you'll watch over them."
Filled with a sense of responsibility, Xiao Cheng declared, "I'll protect them, Father."
As these events unfolded, Xiao Feng remembered the earlier buzzing in his mind. Intrigued, he revisited the notification and, upon seeing the displayed rewards, exclaimed, "Many children, many blessings."
