Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Chapter 254 Dilemma

"My sister-in-law is pregnant?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng looked at Wang Ba with great joy.

"Congratulations, junior brother."

Hearing this sudden news, Wang Ba was both pleasantly surprised and at a loss.

"How...how could this happen?"

The two have been a Taoist couple for many years, but they never thought of having a child before.

Firstly, the previous situation did not allow it, and secondly, at the stage of Qi Refining, monks often need to refine Qi Refining to practice. This essence is the essence of kidney, which is also the essence of reproduction. Give up practicing and concentrate on reproducing future generations.

Otherwise most would not waste their time on procreation.

And once the Qi Refining Realm is passed, the ternary becomes one, and the kidney essence is also mixed with it, making it extremely difficult to separate.

And even if they are separated, there are very few Innate Primordial Yangs among them, and the possibility of hitting is very small.

This is also one of the reasons why the higher the monk's cultivation level, the harder it is for him to have children.

Wang Ba's realm is not high, but now he and Buchan are both in the Foundation Building environment, and the possibility of wanting to have children is very low. Coupled with the recent changes in the situation, the number of intercourse between the two has also dropped.

The last time they had sex, they still used the method of double cultivation given by Wen Yong.

The method of dual cultivation is the combination of Primordial Yin and Primordial Yang, and the way of yin and yang benefits both parties, so naturally it is even more impossible to give birth to offspring.

Counting forward, the last time I had sex was half a year ago.

He didn't doubt Buchan at all, after thinking about it, he still asked out the doubts in his heart.

Cultivation is no small matter, and reproduction of offspring is even more important for human beings, and Wang Ba dare not take it lightly.

"As you said, judging from the number of days in the womb of your Taoist partner, I am afraid it is related to the double cultivation method you practiced."

After thinking for a while, Tang Ji said, "Show me the pair of cultivation methods."

Wang Ba quickly handed over the double cultivation method Wen Yong sent to Tang Ji.

Tang Ji's divine sense swept over him, and he smiled immediately: "Hehe, if I guessed correctly, this should be Da Chu's method..."

Wang Ba was startled. Can you see this?

Tang Ji saw Wang Ba's doubts and explained:

"You don't know that the Great Chu Dynasty is different from the Great Jin, Great Yan, and even Great Qi. There are few sects and sects in the country. Instead, they use blood as the hub to form aristocratic families and rule Great Chu. Among them, the most prosperous , is the Xiang family of the Chu royal family."

"Because of their blood, they rarely recruit children from other races, and they naturally attach great importance to the reproduction of their own offspring. Therefore, they have researched a lot of dual cultivation methods that can benefit both sides and improve the reproduction effect."

Wang Ba suddenly understood when he heard this.

He nodded in admiration and said:

"Senior Tang's eyes are as bright as a torch, this exercise is indeed from Da Chu's side."

"However, what else do I need to decide? Could it be..."

Tang Ji didn’t sell out any more:

"This matter is related to the talent of your heir."

"The heir's talent?"

Wang Ba was slightly startled.

"That's right. Compared with spirit beasts, the human race is uniquely endowed with spiritual wisdom, so as long as they have spiritual roots, they can practice. However, the human race is also inferior to the spirit beasts. They cannot pass on their own realm to their descendants. Start practicing step by step.”

"And whether it has spiritual roots is still unknown."

Tang Ji said: "However, among the monks of the human race, there are many powerful people who have come up with another method."

Wang Ba couldn't help but pricked up his ears.

If possible, he naturally hopes that his descendants can also have spiritual roots. He himself has suffered too much in this regard, and he really does not want his descendants to suffer like this.

Tang Ji said:

"There are two ways."

"One, to cultivate the spiritual root of Innate Qi, it is not complicated to say, in a word, to collect the spirits of heaven and earth, to feed the Innate Qi body, the spirits are divided into five elements, and they are nourished by them, and the five elements in the mother's body are full of energy , the possibility of being able to produce a spiritual root is naturally extremely high. Once successful, the baby's spiritual root will be stimulated from the day it is born, and the speed of cultivation will be far inferior to that of the spiritual root that is activated the day after tomorrow."

"It's just that it costs a lot of money, and it may not be able to really give birth to spiritual roots."

"Both, strengthen its Innate Qi and blood, even if it doesn't have a spiritual root, if it can keep the Innate Qi and blood intact and grow stronger, then in the future, it can use other spiritual things to penetrate the channel between the physical body and the five elements, and thus indirectly achieve the spiritual root As a result, the success rate of this method is extremely high, but because the energy and blood are too strong, I am afraid that in the future, I can only take the road of physical training."

"This method does not need to cost too much now, but I am afraid that the cost will not be small in the future."

Tang Ji explained the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods.

"This is the reason why I called you here. Both of these must be done during pregnancy. Once you miss it, it will be even more difficult to make up for it later. I also saw that this child was safe and sound in such a catastrophe. You must be a blessed person in the future, and you can't bear to be buried, but it depends on yourself, and others can't decide."

Hearing this, Wang Ba pondered for a while, but did not immediately make a decision:

"Dare to ask seniors, can I meet Buchan first?"

Tang Ji smiled slightly:

"You are Taoist couples, there is no reason to hinder you."

"But she is recovering from her injuries, so please pay attention to yourself."

After all, he waved his sleeves.

When Wang Ba opened his eyes again, he found three people suddenly appearing in a wilderness.

There were several huts built in the wilderness, and a middle-aged woman whose aura was unfathomable, not inferior to Zhao Feng's, walked out of one of the huts with a tired face.

Seeing Tang Ji, his face suddenly darkened.

However, considering that Wang Ba and Zhao Feng were still there, the middle-aged female cultivator glanced at Tang Ji with a dark face, and still said reluctantly:

"I've seen Master Uncle!"

Tang Ji's face was a bit confused: "Hey, Xiaoxian, this is Zhao Feng, and this is Wang Ba, Bu Chan's Taoist companion..."

"Um?"

The middle-aged female cultivator was stunned for a moment, her brows furrowed, she looked at Wang Ba and said politely:

"Are you Xiaochan's Taoist companion? What's the matter with you? You didn't even know that Xiaochan was pregnant, and you took her to fight against the Gold Core monks?"

"She is just the Foundation Building!"

"If it hadn't been delivered in time, everyone would be gone now!"

Listening to the other party's scolding, Wang Ba suddenly felt guilty and did not dare to refute a word.

It's not because the other party is a Gold Core Perfected Being, but because he really feels sorry for Bu Chan.

If he hadn't been too confident, he wouldn't have given in and had to fight in person.

All we can do is spit on our faces.

Zhao Feng on the side had no experience in this and looked helpless.

Tang Ji couldn't stand it anymore and quickly tried to dissuade him:

"Okay, stop talking, just let him meet his Taoist companion."

Hearing this, the middle-aged female cultivator suddenly became furious, stared at Tang Ji and said angrily:

"Who allowed it?!"

"Uncle Master, I managed to save both my mother and son with great difficulty. You let him in. Xiaochan is very excited. What if he gets hurt again?"

"Aren't you just fooling around?"

Tang Ji was pointed at the nose and scolded by the middle-aged female cultivator, but she did not dare to say anything more and said angrily:

"Isn't that what I said? Okay, okay, dear grandnephew, please stop talking. There are so many people..."

When the middle-aged female cultivator heard this, the excitement on her face softened slightly, but she still said coldly:

"Little Cicada's condition is not as good as you think. If she doesn't raise her for a few years, she will definitely not recover. This is because of her good health, otherwise she will not be able to recover in this lifetime!"

Wang Ba looked stern and quickly bowed and said:

"Junior has met Senior Xian. Thank you to Senior Xian for saving my wife. I will be very grateful to you."

"Whatever senior Xian says, junior will definitely do it."

"I just don't know if there is any treasure or Spirit Medicine that can help my wife recover... I will go look for it now."

Wang Ba’s eyes were extremely sincere.

When the middle-aged female cultivator saw this, her face softened a little. Although her tone was still a little cold, she was still a little more relaxed:

"I don't need any treasures. After all, there is a fetus inside, and it's too much to eat suddenly... If you really want to see her, then come with me, but you can only stay for a while."

Wang Ba was overjoyed when he heard this: "Yes, yes! Senior, don't worry!"

"Keep your voice down!"

"yes!"

Wang Ba quickly lowered his voice.

Seeing that Tang Ji and Zhao Feng were also following them subconsciously, the middle-aged female cultivator immediately glared at them: "You are looking at your Taoist companions, why are you following me!"

"Ahem..."

Tang Ji suddenly blushed and turned around quickly.

As if nothing happened, Zhao Feng walked to Tang Ji and asked for advice on spiritual practice.

…

Bu Chan was lying on the bed.

With his eyes closed, his face was as pale as paper.

You can even see the blood vessels under the skin.

This was the first time Wang Ba saw Bu Chan who was so weak, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed in his heart.

Just as he couldn't help but reach out and touch her face, he suddenly heard the middle-aged female cultivator's low voice:

"Can't touch!"

Wang Ba quickly stopped his hand.

However, he seemed to be aware of the movement. The sleeping Bu Chan's eyelashes slowly trembled, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

Soon, some unfocused eyes fell on Wang Ba.

After a flash of surprise, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Master...brother!"

"Don't talk and have a good rest."

Wang Ba whispered quickly.

When Bu Chan heard this, he immediately became very obedient and did not try to get up again.

But his eyes were full of joy after seeing Wang Ba safe and sound.

Just by doing this, Bu Chan had a lot of sweat on his forehead.

Wang Ba was extremely distressed.

Subconsciously, he stretched out his hand to wipe her sweat, but suddenly thought of the middle-aged female cultivator's words, and quickly retracted.

Looking at Bu Chan distressedly:

"Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant? If I had known, I would have sent you away before."

Bu Chan shook his head slightly and looked hard at his lower abdomen. A gentle smile immediately appeared on his face:

"I don't know myself, but luckily you didn't send me away, otherwise..."

Although she didn't speak any more, Wang Ba already understood what she meant.

Fortunately, you didn't send me away, otherwise how could I save you?

The middle-aged female cultivator stood aside. Seeing this scene, her originally cold eyes couldn't help but soften a little.

"Senior brother, are you worried?"

Bu Chan suddenly spoke.

Wang Ba was stunned, thought for a while, and said helplessly: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you..."

However, he did not say it out loud, but first consulted with the middle-aged female cultivator on the side.

"Do you want to ask Xiaochan whether to choose to cultivate the Innate Spirit Root for the child or to strengthen the Innate Qi and blood?"

"What's there to ask? Don't grown men decide how much they want to eat and how much they want to eat?"

The middle-aged female cultivator sneered.

Wang Ba suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

Bu Chan listened on the side, and with her intelligence, she quickly understood the situation. There was a rare trace of tangle on her face, her eyes fell on Wang Ba, and then she seemed to have figured out something, and stretched out her hand with difficulty, and held it. Wang Ba’s palm:

"Senior brother, you have worked very hard over the years. We are not those big Immortal families and do not have such a strong foundation. I think it is better to just let nature take its course as Senior Xian said. If he has spiritual roots, we will do our best. Cultivation, if not..."

Bu Chan couldn't help biting her lip, her eyes were slightly red:

"If not...then it's just because we don't have such good luck..."

No spiritual roots, no Innate Qi and blood, means that you will always be just a mortal.

A hundred years later, it turned into a pile of loess.

How could Bu Chan, a first-time mother, bear this?

But in comparison, she couldn't bear the suffering of her Taoist companion.

After all the ups and downs over the years, she is well aware of Wang Ba's difficulties.

In the dilemma, there is only one way to sacrifice.

Looking at Bu Chan's appearance, Wang Ba was slightly shocked.

But there was no emotion on his face, and he nodded:

"I understand, junior sister."

Bu Chan's eyes were red, but she still smiled and nodded.

"Okay, go out quickly, her body can't bear the interruption for such a long time."

The middle-aged female cultivator urged.

Wang Ba did not dare to delay after hearing this, and warned: "Junior sister, you can take a good rest here, I will visit you regularly..."

"let's go!"

The middle-aged female nun urged again and again.

"call--"

The door curtain was lowered.

Across the door curtain, Wang Ba stood at the door and stood silently for a long time.

A few people didn't urge him anymore.

Finally, Wang Ba turned around, walked to Tang Ji, and saluted solemnly:

"Senior Tang, this junior wants both of these methods. I wonder what we need to do?"

"Want both?"

Tang Ji looked at Wang Ba in surprise when he heard this, and then nodded: "I read that right, you are indeed a courageous man!"

Immediately he said directly:

"Strengthening Innate's Qi and blood is easy to say. All the resources together only cost three to four hundred High Grade spirit stones. You can ask Zhao Feng to buy them from Fangshi on the border of Dachu. I will give you the specific things you need. .”

"Cultivating the Innate Spirit Root is a bit more troublesome. I can't help you now due to the rules. However, if you can save three or four thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, after you obtain the third level qualification of the Ghost Market, I can make it up for you right away."

"Three or four thousand spirit stones?"

Wang Ba was moved when he heard the words.

He expected that cultivating the Innate Spirit Root would be difficult, but he did not expect that it would cost so many spiritual stones.

Not to mention anything else, he still hasn't been able to save that much in his life.

And more importantly, even after spending so much, it may not be possible to cultivate Innate Spirit Root.

In case of failure, three to four thousand spiritual stones can be used directly to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

Not to mention ordinary monks, those Gold Core Perfected Beings, and even Nascent Soul True Monarch would probably feel distressed, right?

After thinking about it, Wang Ba gritted his teeth and asked:

"Senior Tang, is there enough time?"

Tang Ji said: "Don't worry, if you want to strengthen Innate's Qi and blood, your Taoist companion must be pregnant for at least five or six years before it can take effect."

"Five or six years?!"

Wang Ba was slightly surprised, but considering that the body of the Foundation Building monk was already far beyond that of a mortal, it was not so difficult to accept that he had been pregnant for several years.

Just like those spirit turtles and spirit chickens, after the level is improved, the hatching cycle will also be lengthened.

But if it takes five or six years, that would be fine.

After five or six years of collecting a Rank Three inner elixir, there should still be hope.

Thinking of this, Wang Badang resigned from Tang Ji, and then left the ghost market with Zhao Feng.

"Brother, please help me with this matter!"

In mid-air, Wang Ba said seriously to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng seemed to have expected it, and said with a slight smile: "Junior brother's matters are my business, so why not help, but I still have to wait for a few days."

Wang Ba was startled for a moment, and then he couldn't help but look at the sword shadow behind Zhao Feng, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Senior brother, you..."

"Yes, I specifically asked Senior Tang for advice just now, and now I have a way to contain them."

Zhao Feng smiled.

With these words, Wang Ba naturally no longer worried.

Waited patiently for several days.

A few days later, the two hurriedly flew in the direction of Baiyunping.

…

Southern part of Yan State.

Linglong Ghost Market, first floor.

This day is not the day when the ghost market opens.

However, two people quietly appeared in the teleportation array on the first floor of the ghost market.

One is dressed as a monk, and the other is a tall man with majestic appearance.

Wearing a crown on his head and a four-clawed python robe, with his hands behind his back, he looked like a prince in the mortal world.

"King Gao, this is the first floor of Linglong Ghost Market."

The monk bowed his head respectfully to this man.

King Gao nodded slightly and looked around:

"Although I am guarding Yan State, I haven't been here for a long time..."

But at this moment.

King Gao seemed to sense something and suddenly looked back.

But he saw a monk in white standing leisurely not far away, looking at him curiously.

Gao Wang's pupils shrank slightly, feeling the breath of the other party, and immediately raised his hand solemnly and said:

"Xiang Huang, Prince Gao's Mansion of Da Chu, met Fellow Daoist of Da Jin."

A trace of surprise flashed across the white-clothed monk's face, but he soon regained his composure, and also raised his hand in salute:

"I'm from the Tang Dynasty, I have met Gao Wang, but I don't know Gao Wang's sudden arrival, what advice do you have?"

After hearing this, King Xiang Huang said calmly:

"Xiang Huang came here only for one thing."

"Please, Fellow Daoist, let's defend against Xianghuo Dao together!"

There will be another update in the evening
