Chapter 147: System Upgrade, Activating the Clone Function
Qin Changqing returned to the Phoenix Palace, and Lin Huang quickly followed. She handed Qin Changqing a storage ring, saying, "The spirit stones inside should be enough."
Qin Changqing took the storage ring and examined it, his eyes immediately narrowing. He saw that the spirit stones within the ring radiated dazzling light, almost blinding him. There were high, middle, and low-quality stones, but overall, they definitely exceeded ten billion low-grade spirit stones.
Lin Huang, as expected of the Empress, had a grand vision and didn't haggle over the specific number of spirit stones.
This was also a sign of her absolute trust in him.
Moreover, Lin Huang believed that the value Qin Changqing could create for her would definitely far exceed what she had invested!
Qin Changqing smiled, feeling gratified by what Lin Huang had done. "Huang'er, you are the first among my many women to enjoy this level of honor. Accept my reward!"
He chuckled and extended his wicked claws.
Lin Huang's cheeks flushed crimson. Although she wasn't opposed to Qin Changqing's actions and even felt a secret delight, she also thought that if this was the reward he was talking about, it was a bit of an overstatement.
Could doing this kind of thing actually benefit her?
Or perhaps, would he make her bear another child with immortal roots?
If that were the case, it would be understandable…
But it wouldn't be much of a surprise!
"Come, come, let your servant help Your Majesty undress!"
"You… I can do it myself!"
Like a parched field meeting sweet rain, the Empress once again experienced the pleasure of making love. She hadn't seen Qin Changqing in a long time and cherished the time he spent by her side. The dignified Empress in court also had moments of charm…
[Detected that your partner has Heavenly Spiritual Roots. Please choose:]
[1. Consume 1 billion years of lifespan to strengthen your partner into Multi-Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Roots]
[2. Consume 10 billion years of lifespan to strengthen your partner into Perfect Variant Spiritual Roots]
[...]
Lin Huang trusted him so much, so Qin Changqing would naturally not let her down, and decisively chose 2!
"Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court!"
A sound transmission talisman shot in from outside the door.
Lin Huang suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed, her beautiful figure exposed. She hastily covered her fair and tender body with the quilt and replied, "I know!"
After calculating the time, she panicked slightly and got off the bed, muttering, "It's already been an hour!"
She glared at Qin Changqing, who was smiling at her, with a hint of blame, "It's all your fault!"
Qin Changqing smiled without saying a word.
What do you mean it's all my fault!
You were pretty wild last night too, okay? At most, we each bear half the responsibility.
Lin Huang now understood the meaning of "The spring night is short, and the sun rises high; from then on, the monarch does not attend early court."
This kind of thing really耽误(delays) serious work!
Suddenly, Lin Huang, who was halfway through dressing, paused for a moment, her eyebrows gradually rising. She finally noticed the abnormality within her body.
She had felt it last night, but thought it was due to the immortal spiritual energy within her. Now, after examining it with her divine sense, she realized that it had nothing to do with immortal spiritual energy, but rather…
"This is… Yin Spiritual Roots!"
Lin Huang abruptly covered her mouth, her face filled with disbelief.
She turned sharply to look at Qin Changqing, "Changqing, did you do this?"
At this age, her spiritual root talent could still be strengthened and improved!
Besides Qin Changqing, there was no other explanation.
Qin Changqing's lips curved into a smile, "Does Your Majesty now understand what I meant by opportunity? Do you like it?"
Lin Huang's beautiful eyes widened, incomparably shocked, "You can actually improve my spiritual roots?"
She originally thought Qin Changqing's ability to conceive offspring with spiritual roots was already heaven-defying, but she never expected that he could actually improve her own aptitude!
This ability is too terrifying!
If she had been born with Yin Spiritual Roots, she would probably already be a Void Fusion Venerable, or even stronger!
This is the benefit that spiritual root talent brings!
"Thank you!" A layer of mist welled up in Lin Huang's beautiful eyes, unable to suppress her excitement and exhilaration, and even feeling very touched.
Only she herself understood how hard she had worked to support the dilapidated Phoenix Nirvana Dynasty for so many years. In the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, nothing else was important; the most important thing was strength.
If she possessed invincible power, she would have swept across the Central Domain long ago. How could she be threatened by the surrounding dynasties!
And now, the improvement of her aptitude also meant that she would go further, greatly reducing the threat from the surrounding dynasties. The future was promising!
She could also give her child a more stable and comfortable living environment!
If she was strong enough, how could she bear to watch her child shoulder everything?
This man before her was truly her lucky star, her destined partner!
Since his appearance, the crises of the Phoenix Nirvana Dynasty had been resolved one by one, and the entire dynasty had presented a thriving scene, with more and more talented disciples, and her imperial throne had become increasingly stable.
Lin Huang simply loved this man to death in her heart!
"Go quickly, don't keep them waiting. I'll reward you when you come back!" Qin Changqing reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Lin Huang's eyes, speaking softly.
"Mm!" Lin Huang nodded heavily, draped the black gold-patterned imperial robe over her shoulders, put on the crown, and restored her usual dignified imperial image. Before leaving, she kissed Qin Changqing on the face and then walked out of the bedroom with light steps.
The formation reassembled, and Qin Changqing revealed an excited expression.
The intense consumption last night had caused his system to usher in another upgrade. He had been holding back for a while and couldn't wait to open it and check.
[Congratulations, Host, for successfully consuming 10 billion years of lifespan. The system is upgrading… ]
The reason why he was willing to upgrade Lin Huang was partly because he indeed felt sorry for her, wanting to give her a broader future and reduce her pressure. On the other hand, it was also because Lin Huang could provide enough spirit stones to replenish him, and the system's upgrade required consuming enough lifespan.
He had a large family to support and couldn't only focus on the present. Having both income and expenditure was the correct way to use it.
Once the system was upgraded, it would inevitably acquire more functions, which would be of great benefit to both himself and the people around him!
[The system has been successfully upgraded, adding the following functions:]
[1. The return of offspring cultivation has been upgraded again, with the return ratio increasing tenfold on the original basis… ]
[2. Activating the clone function, which can consume lifespan to create clones. The current maximum number of clones that can be created is one. The clone's strength comes from the host. The more lifespan consumed, the stronger the clone's strength, up to possessing all of the host's strength… (Note: The clone does not have the host's ability to conceive offspring and strengthen spiritual roots)]
[3. Partner cultivation return function, which can obtain the return of partner cultivation… ]
Qin Changqing's eyes widened suddenly!
This time, two crucial functions had been added!
