Chapter 10 Another Top-Grade Spiritual Root, Exposed

This time there were quite a few people, after all, this was the marriage of the Qin family's head, Qin Zhengyang's daughter, and everyone understood its importance. The Qin family's higher-ups were all present, and the various live-in sons-in-law also rushed over to offer toasts.

“Brother Changqing, you are truly blessed to be able to marry the eldest daughter. I hope you will give me some guidance in the future.”

“Brother Changqing, our relationship is quite good. Can you secretly tell me, do you have some kind of secret? How did you manage to win the eldest daughter's favor?”

“I am truly envious!”

… …

The live-in sons-in-law took advantage of the opportunity to offer toasts to try and extract information from Qin Changqing.

How could Qin Changqing tell the truth? He casually brushed them off with a few words.

Night had deepened, Qin Changqing cast a spell to dispel the alcohol from his body and entered the room. He saw Qin Fenglan sitting upright in front of the couch, quite proper.

Qin Changqing lifted the veil, and Qin Fenglan's bright, sparkling eyes stared intently at him, discovering that this man was not bad-looking. He had been in the Qin family for so long, yet he was still so young.

Her originally uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

“Can you make me give birth to a child with an Earth Spiritual Root?” Qin Fenglan's eyes were bright and somewhat fiery.

How could Qin Changqing possibly guarantee such a thing? Otherwise, wouldn't he truly be held by the lifeline?

“I can't guarantee that, I can only say I'll do my best.” Qin Changqing smiled awkwardly, but in his heart, he was accumulating rage points.

I know you're just here to borrow a seed, but is there any need to be so obvious? Watch how I release my anger later!

“Then let's begin!”

Although Qin Fenglan was a little shy, when she thought about how she would be able to have a child with an Earth Spiritual Root in the future, she became a little excited. Disregarding her reservedness, she eagerly reached out to hook Qin Changqing's neck.

However, she obviously didn't have much experience, and her movements seemed a little flustered.

Qin Changqing grabbed her soft wrist and took control, “Don't panic, there's no need to be so hasty. I still need to do some groundwork.”

“Do what?” Qin Fenglan looked at him in confusion.

Qin Changqing explained: “To give birth to a child with a high-quality spiritual root, a large amount of spirit stones is required. The spiritual energy currently contained in my body may not be enough to nurture a child with a very strong spiritual root…”

Qin Fenglan understood. Qin Zhengyang had told her about this. She directly took out a box from her storage bag and said, “Is a thousand spirit stones enough?”

One spirit stone after another turned into flying ash in his hands, and the speed of absorption was so fast that Qin Fenglan next to him widened her eyes in shock. She believed Qin Changqing's previous words by thirty percent.

Even a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator couldn't absorb spirit stone energy so quickly, and it was a one-time absorption of a thousand spirit stones. If he really couldn't nurture a spiritual root, it would indeed be unreasonable.

A thousand spirit stones were completely absorbed, and Qin Changqing once again increased his lifespan by a thousand years.

“Madam, I'm ready!” Qin Changqing walked in front of Qin Fenglan, smiling.

Qin Fenglan gently hummed in agreement. The next moment, she was pounced upon by Qin Changqing on the couch. The curtains fell, and clothes were constantly thrown out.

… …

The long night was endless, and there was no desire to sleep. Qin Changqing began to do multiple-choice questions again!

[Detected that your partner has a Medium-Grade Spiritual Root, please choose:]

[1. Consume ten years of lifespan to strengthen the seed, which can give birth to offspring with a High-Grade Spiritual Root]

[2. Consume a hundred years of lifespan to strengthen the seed, which can give birth to offspring with a Top-Grade Spiritual Root]

[3. Consume a thousand years of lifespan to strengthen the seed, which can give birth to offspring with an Earth Spiritual Root]

As expected, as previously guessed, Qin Fenglan's Medium-Grade Spiritual Root could indeed improve the aptitude of her descendants again.

The thousand years of lifespan that he had just obtained was about to be gone again… …

Qin Changqing sighed in his heart, but he still chose the third option.

… …

Not long after, Qin Fenglan was found to be pregnant.

The Qin family once again sent several women with Low-Grade Spiritual Roots, and without explanation, directly stuffed them into Qin Changqing's backyard.

This impatient style of doing things made Qin Changqing have to praise the Qin family's efficiency.

However, this time Qin Changqing made a request.

For every child with a Top-Grade Spiritual Root, he would need to absorb five hundred spirit stones in advance.

This way, he could earn four hundred from each one!

A month later, Qin Rongrong's second child was also born.

After Qin Changqing learned about it, he sighed helplessly at the sky.

What a sin… …

The Jia Residence.

Qin Xiaohe, along with the elders and the steward Qin Wenbo, came together to congratulate him. Jia Qiang was immediately flattered and led them to the inner hall to be seated.

After taking a sip of tea, Qin Xiaohe smiled and said, “Brother Jia, I have a spirit stone that can detect newborn babies' spiritual roots. Why don't we take this opportunity to test the child's spiritual root aptitude?”

Jia Qiang's heart stirred, understanding that these people were probably here for the child. He quickly nodded and said, “I'll bring the child out right away.”

Soon, Jia Qiang brought the baby in swaddling clothes in front of the elders. Qin Xiaohe was also not polite and directly took out the spirit stone and placed it on the baby's forehead. In an instant, the light shone brightly.

“Another Top-Grade Spiritual Root!”

Everyone widened their eyes in shock.

Qin Xiaohe frowned slightly and glanced thoughtfully at Jia Qiang, who was full of excitement, and exchanged glances with the other elders.

They had long suspected that Jia Qiang hadn't had a child in ten years, but as soon as he had one, it was a Top-Grade Spiritual Root, and the key was that they were all born from Qin Rongrong. His other wives and concubines didn't have any movement in their bellies.

Qin Rongrong herself had the aptitude of a Low-Grade Spiritual Root, so they couldn't help but think of a certain prolific person in the Qin family… …

“Brother Jia, you have indeed not disappointed us. The Qin family has added another Top-Grade Immortal seedling. This is a great thing. I will have someone send the rewards back later. Rongrong is a great contributor to our Qin family. The head of the family asked me to send some spiritual medicine to replenish her body.”

“Thank you for the family head's kindness.” Jia Qiang quickly reached out to invite them in.

Qin Xiaohe cupped his hands with a smile and then entered the room alone.

Watching Qin Xiaohe enter the room, Jia Qiang also slowly calmed down from his excitement and felt more and more uneasy as he looked at the child.

He hadn't been able to have children for so many years. How could he have two Top-Grade Spiritual Roots as soon as he had them?

Was he that awesome?

Calculating the days, it seemed that the birth dates of the two children were not quite right. During that time, he seemed to be wholeheartedly cultivating in seclusion and didn't have any relations with Qin Rongrong. Where did the child come from… …

Inside the room, Qin Xiaohe reached out and pressed down on Qin Rongrong, who wanted to get up and salute. He placed a layer of magic barrier around them to isolate the sound and said lightly, “Rongrong, tell me the truth, whose child is this after all?”

Qin Rongrong's heart thumped, and she felt a little frightened. She barely squeezed out a smile and said, “Elder, what are you talking about? Of course, it's mine.”

Qin Xiaohe snorted heavily in his nose and squinted, “I'm asking who the real father of this child is. We already know. Do you still dare to hide it?”

Qin Rongrong's face was full of panic, and she didn't care about her physical weakness. She turned over and got out of bed and knelt on the ground, “Elder, it's my fault for being confused. Jia Qiang has been slow to move, and I was anxious to have children for the family, so I did this kind of thing… …

She immediately told the whole story.
