I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 10: Lin Xuen

After eating, Liu Chaoyun and Qingyu stayed in the house while Lin Qing went out.

Today, he was going to buy a spirit stone to test Qingyu's aptitude and also to see if she had spiritual roots, considering the upcoming child.

Although Qingmu Village was small, they could still buy a spirit stone, even if it was the smallest kind, it would be enough.

Lin Qing spent seven spirit stones to buy one. Instead of immediately returning home, he went to the same shop where he had bought the magic sword. Yesterday, he realized that Qingyu didn't have a storage bag, and as her husband, this might be the best gift for her.

He already had a storage bag, one cubic in size, which he had bought for five spirit stones. It had been barely enough before, but now it was time to upgrade.

Since he had just bought the magic sword, Lin Qing didn't have an abundance of spirit stones. Although he was continuously selling formations, after paying for the magic sword, he had less than thirty spirit stones left. Storage bags were not cheap, so after thinking about it, Lin Qing decided to give his own storage bag to Qingyu and get a bigger one for himself. For Qingyu, a one cubic storage bag would be more than enough.

He spent twenty spirit stones to buy a two cubic storage bag and left the shop with the owner's warm hospitality.

Looking back at the magic tool shop, Lin Qing remembered three years ago when he almost lost his life for two spirit stones. Now, he touched the storage bag he had bought for twenty spirit stones and felt that everything had changed. He also felt the extraordinariness of cultivating immortality because you never knew when and where opportunities would await you.

Returning to the house, Lin Qing handed the storage bag to Qingyu, who eagerly examined it and couldn't put it down.

Then, Lin Qing tested Qingyu's spiritual roots again. As expected, her spiritual roots were better than his. She had four spiritual roots, so reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining wouldn't be a problem, and with the help of elixirs, breaking through to the later stage wouldn't be an issue either. Perhaps Lin Qing would have been disappointed yesterday, but after last night, everything was different.

His own spiritual roots could be improved.

Just as he was about to put away the spirit stone, Lin Qing suddenly thought of something and tested Chaoyun as well.

Chaoyun was a mortal, and Lin Qing had known that since the first night. Her body couldn't contain spiritual energy, but perhaps there could still be a miracle.

Of course, there were no surprises. Chaoyun didn't have spiritual roots. Although spiritual roots could be good or bad, even the worst five spiritual roots were rare among mortals, usually with a one in ten thousand chance.

If both sides were cultivators with spiritual roots, the chances of the child having spiritual roots would be higher. But if only one side had them, the chances would decrease significantly.

Looking at Chaoyun's belly, although Lin Qing was hopeful, he still let nature take its course.

For the next three nights, Lin Qing stayed with Qingyu and raised his water and wood spiritual roots to the middle grade.

[Water Spiritual Root: Middle Grade (13/10000)]

[Wood Spiritual Root: Middle Grade (2/10000)]

After raising his water and wood spiritual roots to the middle grade, Lin Qing tested himself and found that he absorbed spiritual energy about 20% faster than before, but still not as fast as a cultivator with four spiritual roots. However, this was already good enough.

Previously, he could raise his formation experience by fifteen points in one night with Chaoyun, and although Qingyu could also raise her formation experience, she mainly improved the quality of her spiritual roots. After the first night, where she gained two points of formation experience, she only gained one point each time, like an extra bonus, while improving her spiritual roots was a stable seven points.

Thinking of Chaoyun, Lin Qing felt that it would probably take some time for his formation to reach the first-grade superior level.

Because of Qingyu's cultivation needs, Lin Qing's daily consumption of spirit stones had increased compared to before. But with his current ability as a first-grade middle-level formation master, this amount of spirit stones was nothing.

After Lin Qing's spiritual root was enhanced, he continued to diligently cultivate every day and sell formations. Due to the increasing success rate, he accumulated one hundred spirit stones in less than three months. With the supply of spirit stones from him, Li Qingyu also advanced to the second level of Qi Refining. Compared to not having spirit stones, having an abundant supply of them was the most beneficial guarantee for cultivation.

Naturally, Li Qingyu was extremely grateful for this. She served Lin Qing diligently every day. As her belly gradually grew bigger and it became inconvenient for her to move around, she took on all the household chores by herself. She did all the laundry and cooking for the three of them. One day, after finishing washing clothes for Chao Yun, she moved Chao Yun to tears. However, what disappointed Lin Qing a little was that there was no change in Li Qingyu's Goldfinger ability after her cultivation improved. The bonus from her spiritual root was still seven points every time.

As for Lin Qing's own cultivation, he estimated that with the continuous consumption of pills and spirit stones, it would take about another year after his spiritual root was enhanced to reach a satisfactory level.

That night, Lin Qing and Chao Yun slept together.

Calculating the time, there was at most half a month left. Looking at Chao Yun, Lin Qing had already started imagining what their child would look like.

"Husband, do you have any name in mind for our child?" Chao Yun guessed Lin Qing's thoughts and asked.

"A name?"

Upon hearing Chao Yun's words, Lin Qing fell into silence for a moment. At forty-nine years old, he had never thought about this question before marrying, and even after marrying, he had never actively thought about it. Now, he realized that he had no idea.

Giving a name to his own child was a big matter, and Lin Qing fell into deep contemplation.

Not only that, as a cultivator, if the child had spiritual roots, it would be easy to handle. But if not, it meant that the child would be an ordinary person, and it probably wouldn't be long before they grew up, got married, had children, and the cycle continued.

For the sake of choosing a name, Lin Qing's thoughts stretched infinitely. He even thought that maybe he would create a family like some other cultivators.

This was not a groundless fantasy, but a real possibility.

"Qingxu Zhiyuan, Ningxin Xinian, Xiangdao Huaizhen, Xisheng Cunyan."

After a long time, Lin Qing slowly uttered sixteen words.

Listening to Lin Qing's words, Chao Yun thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, "Husband, are you suggesting the name Xu for our child?"

"Yes." Lin Qing nodded, then said, "These are just characters. It's up to you to come up with the complete name."

"Our boy can be named Lin Xu'en, and our girl can be named Lin Xuzhen. How about that?" Unlike Lin Qing, Chao Yun had already thought about the names for their child and said them without much thought.

"Lin Xu'en, Lin Xuzhen. Good names." Lin Qing nodded.

After choosing the names, both Lin Qing and Chao Yun found it difficult to fall asleep. They started talking about various things in the night.

As they talked, they recalled the situation when they first arrived at the house. Lin Qing asked Chao Yun about her first impression back then, and Chao Yun said she didn't expect that the house where immortals lived would be smaller than her own home, and she didn't expect that immortals would still need to cook and make fire.

Upon hearing this, both of them couldn't help but laugh.

Afterwards, Lin Qing talked about Li Qingyu. He said that Li Qingyu was deeply moved for a long time after finding out that Chao Yun had sewn the quilt.

In response, Chao Yun simply leaned closer to Lin Qing tenderly.
