Zhong Mansion, backyard training room.
View panel.
[Name: Zhong Yan]
【Age: 40】
[Realm: Fourth level of Qi refining (1176/90000)]
[Exercise: "Heavenly Fire Technique" (Elementary Level 1151/2000)]
[Spells: Gravitation (entry level 5655/100000000), Fireball (entry level 3348/1000000), Fire Cloud Palm (entry level 4916/10000)...]
[Occupation: Talisman Making (First-Level Mid-grade 4279/10000)]
Zhong Yan looked at the row of bright '0's in the spell column, and the joy brought about by the birth of an heir and the change of the panel instantly cooled down.
After practicing for many years, it took a lot of time and experience. The gravity technique and the fireball technique are only at the entry level. To break through to the next stage, so much experience is required.
However, the experience bonus generated by giving birth to a child is only 5 points.
It’s so shocking!
"Why does a small gravity technique require so many experience points from beginner to beginner? As high as 100 million!"
As we all know, gravity is the simplest introductory spell in the spiritual world. The first spell that every monk learns after entering spiritual practice is gravity.
The application of gravity is very extensive, the most intuitive one is 'moving objects through the air'. Many other advanced spells also need to be based on gravity, but it itself does not have much lethality.
But there are rumors that if one has mastered the art of gravity to the extreme, he can ignore the opponent's cultivation level and defense, and control a monk's body to determine life or death instantly.
However, to reach this level, it takes a huge amount of time and effort.
Extremely low value for money.
Few monks would waste time on this.
Because there are various spells that can achieve the effect of gravity, they require less practice time and are more powerful, such as the Fire Cloud Sect's 'Flame Hand'.
"So... the threshold for gravity and fireball is low, but the upper limit is high?"
After some thinking, Zhong Yan could only come to this conclusion.
"That's not the point!"
"The point is that after giving birth to a son, there will be a magic bonus!"
"What if we give birth to an heir with spiritual roots?"
"As the offspring grow, will the bonus points continue to increase?"
"And the spell bonus points can be added to other spells as I choose. I can completely increase the power of other spells first..."
Zhong Yan's eyes flickered, and he became more determined to multiply the family.
"The original plan has to change, but we can't rush it!"
…
Five days flew by.
On New Year's Eve, it snowed heavily, and the Zhongfu was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
Jiang Ping fed the child and put it to sleep. She glanced at the sumptuous dishes on the table, sat in front of the stove to warm herself, and murmured with a worried look on her face: "I don't know what your husband is doing. It's been so many days, but tonight... reunion dinner."
For the first time in history, even the uninterrupted sexual intercourse was given up.
Yan Sandao shook his head, feeling very confused. His husband was obviously very happy when the child was born, but he turned around and went into the training room and never came out again.
She looked into the back room and said, "Sister, there is no need to worry. My husband must like children. Maybe he has reached the critical moment of cultivation..."
She wanted to invite him, but Zhong Yan said not to disturb him before entering the training room.
The two chatted in low voices. As soon as they got to the table, footsteps were heard outside, and then Zhong Yan walked in.
"Husband!"
Jiang Ping stood up immediately, her eyes sparkling, and she thought that her husband didn't like her having a child.
"Husband!" Yan Sandao came forward and helped dust the snowflakes from his clothes, "You can figure it out!"
"Worrying the two ladies."
Zhong Yan shook their hands and walked into the back room to see the children together.
Jiang Ping paid attention to her husband's face and found that he was really happy, not pretending, so she tried to ask: "Husband, have you thought about the name of the child?"
Zhong Yan lowered his head and kissed her pink cheek, then took the two of them back to the living room and sat down.
"Just call it Zhong Qixing!"
Jiang Ping read silently, feeling extremely happy.
Yan Sandao smiled and said: "This is a good name! The Zhong family will definitely be as prosperous and prosperous as my husband expected!"
Zhong Yan nodded, "With the birth of Xing'er, the Zhong Mansion should also have a new atmosphere. After careful consideration, my husband plans to start buying property after the year."
"With property, there will be conflicts of interest, which will inevitably lead to trouble. From now on, the Zhong Mansion will not be as stable as it used to be."
Jiang Ping and Yan Sandao looked at each other with serious expressions.
"Poverty is the original sin, and the weak have no right to talk about innocence!"
Zhong Yan said lightly, looking at Yan Sandao, "Dao'er should know why my husband did what he did. People can't help themselves in the world. Even if they don't cause trouble, a lot of trouble will come to them!"
Yan Sandao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his husband was talking about killing Chen Lianping.
"So, you must keep in mind what I say to my husband next!"
…
…
years later.
Zhong Yan led Yan Sandao to the city lord's mansion. In addition to the talisman, he also prepared a heavy secular gift.
In addition, he also visited several monks with good connections in the city and gave them heavier financial gifts than last year.
The eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Zhong Yan and his concubine visited Li Mansion again, and after greetings they explained their purpose of visit.
Li Henian waved his hand and said, "It's easy to handle. At the end of last year, I just bought a restaurant and transferred it to my good brother. I just need to hire someone to take care of it. The area is prosperous and smooth. If it is run properly, I can make thousands of taels a year. Other businesses can make a living." , I’ll look for a shop later and think about it slowly.”
All the monks in the city knew that Li Henian had long had a grand wish to create a family of immortals.
After more than ten years of accumulation, there are seven or eight industries, including wine shops, martial arts schools, and cloth shops... which have become a reality.
However, due to the lack of any heirs with spiritual roots in the family, this matter was rumored as a joke among the monks in private.
Now that he has captured a Heavenly Spiritual Root, his hopes have greatly increased.
In the past six months, Li Henian had married two more concubines in succession to prepare for the future.
"Thank you so much, brother."
"Why should you and I be polite?"
Two days later.
The transfer procedure is completed.
Zhong Yan took advantage of it and spent five low-grade spiritual stones to obtain the ownership of the 'Yelai Restaurant'.
The shopkeeper and waiters were all originally hired by Li Henian, and he would only let his own people take over in the future.
'Yelai Restaurant' is located on Zhengyang Street in the South District, some distance away from Changping Street where 'Wutong Lane' is located.
It has two floors and no accommodation. It is a mid-to-high-end restaurant in Qingyang City.
Zhong Yan looked around and found that he had no plans to reopen. He explained to the shopkeeper and then went to the Marriage Pavilion.
Lin Xuelan was a little surprised at his arrival, "Friend Zhong Dao came to visit and made the Marriage Pavilion shine!"
Then he sighed apologetically: "Hey, it's really hard to find a woman with spiritual roots. Several monks in the city are queuing up, but don't worry, fellow Taoist, I've put you in front. As long as the fellow Taoist can get the spirit, stone!"
Zhong Yan was noncommittal and had heard a lot of news about the 'Marriage Pavilion'.
It's hard to find anywhere, it's just that my cultivation level is low and it's not suitable.
Those female cultivators also have very high requirements for choosing a Taoist partner. In the early stage of Qi training, they should choose the middle stage of Qi training, and in the middle stage, they should choose the late stage. If the conditions are good in all aspects, they can even hope to find a master of foundation building.
The Marriage Pavilion not only finds partners for the monks in Qingyang City, but also has their branches operating in nearby cities.
Li Henian just said two days ago that at the end of last year, Lin Xuelan hooked up an eighth-level Qi practitioner in Wangcheng City with a second-level Qi practitioner.
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "Of course those with spiritual roots are the first choice. If you can't find them, you can be a mortal. Help me find a few more."
Lin Xuelan blinked, quite surprised, and said with a smile: "Hey, don't worry! A mortal woman will definitely satisfy fellow Taoists! Or is it the previous condition?"
"right."
