The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 86: A Series of Joyful Events

The following days.

Chen Ling's life returned to tranquility, with daily refining, cultivation, and weekends off.

He accompanied his pregnant wife at home, providing the best service and meeting all their needs.

During this time, he further improved the "Eighty-One Spiritual Prohibition Technique" through additional practice, and also comprehended the method of refining fourth-level spiritual prohibitions.

At the same time, his spiritual root value increased by 5, reaching 43%.

With anticipation, his cultivation life was no longer as dull, and time seemed to pass quickly.

A month quietly passed.

On this afternoon.

Early spring brought a hint of warmth from the sun.

The entire small courtyard exuded a strong vitality, with two rows of flowers in the courtyard, lush and green.

Chen Ling paced back and forth in the hall.

His gaze occasionally swept towards the second room on the right. Although he was no longer a first-time father, he still appeared somewhat nervous and excited.

Li Yourong was comforting the baby in her womb by patting her back.

Qingtang sat quietly beside them.

Wah wah!

At this moment, a crisp cry sounded from inside the room. Chen Ling felt joy in his heart; the baby was finally born!

[Hint: The birth of the second child increases the ancestral fire value by 20.]

Chen Ling didn't pay attention to the panel that appeared before him for a moment.

He hurriedly walked towards the room.

The door opened as well.

He Yunxiu held the baby wrapped in a small cotton jacket and walked out with the happy mother.

"Congratulations, Senior, on the birth of a daughter!" The midwife followed Chen Ling and congratulated him.

"Great!" Chen Ling's face was filled with joy as he took out a few low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag to thank the midwife.

The midwife accepted the spirit stones with a smile and quickly said a few more congratulatory words.

"Husband, it's a baby girl!" He Yunxiu also said with a smile.

"Good daughter!" Chen Ling took the baby and said with a smile, "Daddy will hold you!"

The baby had just been born and her eyes were still closed.

Her facial features resembled Chu Yu to some extent.

She slightly moved her little arms, seemingly trying to adapt to her surroundings.

Chen Ling carried the baby and walked into the room.

On the bed, Chu Yu's complexion was slightly pale, but her eyes were bright.

"Husband, let me see!" Chu Yu's eyes were filled with tenderness as she softly said to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling carefully brought the baby in front of Chu Yu.

He Yunxiu also walked in from outside.

She held a bowl of hot spiritual porridge and smiled at Chu Yu, "Sister Yu, drink some spiritual porridge to warm your body."

"Thank you, Sister Yun!" Chu Yu said weakly.

Chen Ling handed the baby to He Yunxiu and took the bowl. He tested the temperature and found it not too hot, then sat down by the bed.

He fed Chu Yu the porridge.

...

"Daddy, I want to play with my little sister!"

In the evening, the family gathered around the dining table, enjoying a harmonious meal.

Little Ping'an was also filled with joy and curiosity.

Chen Ling tore a chicken wing for him and said with a smile, "When your little sister grows up a few months, you can play with her!"

The recovery of a cultivator's body is much faster than that of an ordinary person. After an afternoon of rest, Chu Yu was already able to move freely in the evening.

She held Xiaochun'er and joined everyone for dinner.

In Chen Ling's eyes, the baby's name didn't need to be too extravagant; it was better to be down-to-earth and easier to raise.

He was also too lazy to think, so he directly named his daughter Xiaochun'er.

What made him even more delighted was that Xiaochun'er had both medium-grade gold and wood spiritual roots.

It seemed that with the improvement of his own spiritual roots, there was also a significant improvement in the spiritual roots of his offspring.

Looking at the adorable Xiaochun'er, Qin Yelian's face was filled with envy.

Even Qingtang, who has always been calm, occasionally teases Chun'er.

Chen Ling didn't drink to celebrate tonight because there was still a big event in the evening.

Li Yourong is already preparing for Foundation Building.

And because of the influence of the Fire Seduction Spirit Body, Li Yourong needs his assistance and cannot afford to be careless. He must maintain the best condition.

A meal was spent in this joyful atmosphere.

...

The moonlight shines brightly in the courtyard.

Inside the house.

The fragrant aroma of the Fire Lotus fills the air.

Accompanied by the mist, everything appears hazy.

Li Yourong's graceful body is immersed in the bathtub.

Although she is usually a bit careless, at this moment her eyes reveal a rare solemnity.

"Are you ready?"

Looking at Chen Ling entering, Li Yourong finally shows a relaxed smile on her face.

Chen Ling nods calmly.

Through Li Yourong's introduction, he already has a clear understanding of Foundation Building.

For Qi Refining cultivators, successfully achieving Foundation Building requires the sublimation of both spiritual energy and divine consciousness.

In terms of spiritual energy, it is necessary to compress and transform the gaseous spiritual power in the original Qi Sea meridians into liquid form.

As for divine consciousness, it needs to expand to a radius of ten inches.

Li Yourong had already reached the peak of Qi Refining a month ago, opening ninety-nine spiritual acupoints in her body.

After a month of cultivation, she has completely consolidated her foundation.

In terms of divine consciousness, she has long surpassed the required ten-inch radius.

In addition, she possesses the Fire Seduction Spirit Body, which naturally enhances her breakthrough effect.

For the Foundation Building barrier that ordinary cultivators find difficult to overcome, it is not a big challenge for her.

With various preparations, Li Yourong has at least a ninety percent chance of success in Foundation Building this time.

Chen Ling takes off his robe and enters the bathtub.

The medicinal water instantly envelops their bodies.

"Let's begin!"

Chen Ling activates the "Nine Transformations of Spirit Flame" technique, and spiritual energy surges within his body.

In the next moment, Li Yourong consumes the Foundation Building pill.

Their hands touch each other.

Soon, Chen Ling feels waves of scorching spiritual energy rushing into his meridians through his palms, sweeping through his meridians and spiritual acupoints.

Intense pain strikes his meridians, but Chen Ling keeps circulating the compressed spiritual power through his arms using the "Nine Transformations of Spirit Flame" technique.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the spiritual energy flowing into Chen Ling's body has already become somewhat misty, as if fierce flames are burning his meridians.

Fortunately, with the tempering of the Qinglian Thunder Gang Fire, he can fully absorb and refine this scorching spiritual energy.

After Li Yourong's spiritual body is activated, the uncontrollable and surging spiritual energy forms a perfect circulation between their bodies and arms.

Another hour passes, and a popping sound is heard.

Li Yourong has not successfully completed Foundation Building yet.

But Chen Ling has broken through four meridians in succession, reaching a total of ninety-two spiritual acupoints in his body, entering the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The effect of this cultivation session even surpasses his half-year of hard work.

As Chen Ling's cultivation level improves, the circulation of spiritual energy between the two of them also accelerates.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The medicinal water in the bathtub seems to boil, emitting a blazing light that illuminates the entire room, like the glow of a sunset reflecting on a shimmering lake.

Time passes, one hour, two hours...

Until the sky outside begins to brighten.

Li Yourong lets out a muffled groan and floats in mid-air!

Flying in mid-air is a sign of successful Foundation Building.
