Inside the Qin Changqing mansion.

Upon hearing the news, the steward Qin Wenbo hurriedly arrived with several young members of the Qin family. After careful investigation, he couldn't help but be delighted: "Changqing, you are the first cultivator we recruited to become pregnant. Well done! This is the reward from the clan, fifty spiritual stones! Later, I will send some women from the clan for you to choose from."

As he spoke, he took out a box from his storage bag, filled with thumb-sized transparent stones.

"Thank you, Master Steward, for your guidance. I will definitely work hard!" Qin Changqing smiled on the surface but cursed in his heart.

Choose again? Old thing, do you want me to die faster?

He was already considering whether to find an opportunity to escape, otherwise he wouldn't live much longer like this!

After exchanging a few polite words, Qin Wenbo left with a smile.

After Qin Wenbo left, Qin Changqing rubbed his hands and looked at the box left by Qin Wenbo.

He had never seen spiritual stones before. He picked one up and examined it closely, then froze in place.

[Detected energy, can absorb and convert to extend lifespan, do you want to absorb?]

Qin Changqing's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.

The energy in the spiritual stones could actually be converted into lifespan. This meant that as long as he had enough spiritual stones, he could still live even if he couldn't become a high-level cultivator.

And he no longer had to worry about marrying too many wives and becoming a short-lived ghost. As long as he had spiritual stones, he could gallop freely without thinking about running away!

"Absorb!" Qin Changqing silently recited in his heart without hesitation.

The spiritual stone in his hand instantly turned into a pile of sand and scattered.

[Absorption successful, lifespan increased by one year]

Qin Changqing was overjoyed. One spiritual stone could increase his lifespan by one year, so fifty spiritual stones would increase his lifespan by fifty years.

Soon!

After absorbing almost all fifty spiritual stones, his lifespan indeed increased by fifty years, just as he had guessed.

Just after he finished absorbing, a servant came to inform Qin Wenbo's return. Qin Changqing knew that he was being asked to choose concubines.

"I understand!" Qin Changqing waved his hand calmly.

With an additional fifty years of lifespan, what did it matter if he had a few more wives? It was just a small sacrifice of ten years of lifespan!

A month later, Qin Changqing's second wife also became pregnant. This news quickly spread throughout the Qin family.

"Is this for real? Qin Changqing is so amazing? She's pregnant again? His luck is too good!"

"My family hasn't had any movement yet, but Qin Changqing already has two. I'm so anxious!"

"Why be anxious? What's the use of having more pregnancies? The Qin family is a cultivation clan, what we need are offspring with spiritual roots! It's about talent, not quantity!"

"Fellow Daoist is absolutely right!"

Every corner of the Qin family was discussing Qin Changqing's situation. Two pregnancies in two months was definitely considered fast.

The Qin family once again sent rewards, but this time it was only twenty spiritual stones, which was the normal quota given by the Qin family.

Of course, even with twenty stones, it was still a profit for Qin Changqing.

With the second child on the way, Qin Changqing once again had the qualification to take concubines, feeling happy and super happy.

Time flew by, and eight months passed in the blink of an eye.

The Qin family was lively at this moment, with many people gathered in Qin Changqing's mansion, whispering to each other.

Qin Changqing paced back and forth anxiously, occasionally glancing at the inner room.

Suddenly, a loud cry of a baby echoed through the mansion, and everyone stopped discussing and turned their heads.

Soon, the door of the inner room opened, and a midwife walked out with a swaddled baby, smiling: "Congratulations, it's a boy!"

Qin Changqing was trembling with excitement, feeling a bit at a loss when faced with the baby handed over by the midwife.

"Brother Changqing, you finally get to hold me!" someone teased.

Laughter filled the air.

Qin Changqing carefully held the baby, feeling a sense of emotion. This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had his own child.

"The lady wants you to give the baby a name," the midwife smiled.

Qin Changqing said, "Let's call him... Qin Qiming!"

This child belonged to the Qiming generation, and the name was something Qin Changqing had already decided on.

Whether sincere or not, the people around congratulated him one after another, their envy evident on their faces.

Qin Changqing was now a remarkable person, already having ten wives. Apart from the one he just had, the other nine wives were also pregnant. This reproductive ability was unparalleled in the history of the entire Qin family.

"What's there to be proud of? No matter how many children you have, they're all useless without spiritual roots!" In a corner, Jia Qiang muttered with a gloomy expression.

Back when he first entered the Qin family, he was full of glory, being the only one to marry a wife with spiritual root aptitude.

Now, he had become the topic of conversation and ridicule during the Qin family's leisure time, because his wife's belly still showed no signs of movement.

Jia Qiang was also anxious. He had tried various methods, but the Qin family took it seriously and even invited skilled physicians, yet they still couldn't find the cause.

Returning to his own residence, he saw Qin Rongrong waiting outside the door.

Qin Rongrong was already a remarkable beauty, and as a cultivator, she took good care of herself. After becoming a married woman, she had gained even more charm. Her eyes were captivating.

"Did everything go smoothly? Is it a boy or a girl?" Qin Rongrong asked.

Jia Qiang suddenly became furious. "It's not like you gave birth. What does it matter to you whether it's a boy or a girl?"

Qin Rongrong's eyebrows furrowed, feeling a bit wronged. "What do you mean, Jia Qiang? Are you blaming me because you can't have children?"

Jia Qiang suddenly became enraged. "Who do you think you are to say it's my problem?"

Qin Rongrong coldly snorted. "Our Qin family has never had this problem for generations. If it's not you, then who else could it be?"

"You... stop spouting nonsense!"

"I would love to spout nonsense, but you can't!"

The argument between the two attracted many onlookers, who were used to such scenes. In the past few months, the couple had quarreled frequently.

"Stop embarrassing yourselves. It's embarrassing to argue in public!" Seeing more and more people gathering around, Jia Qiang's face turned as red as a pig's liver, and he stormed off.

Truly embarrassing!

"Everyone, would you like to come in and see?" Qin Rongrong couldn't help but sarcastically remark when she saw people still gossiping. The crowd dispersed immediately.

After closing the door, Qin Rongrong stood in place, feeling a bit lost. In the family, a woman who couldn't bear children had no value and would be criticized behind her back. She had been troubled by this matter day and night.

"Qin Changqing... can he really bear children so well?"

Qin Rongrong pondered, her eyes gradually becoming determined, as if she had made a major decision. She turned and entered the house.

The next day, Qin Rongrong visited with a gift, surprising Qin Changqing.

Jia Qiang was a proud person, and because of the child, they rarely interacted with others unless necessary.

After presenting the gift, Qin Rongrong hesitated and said, "Brother Qin, there's something I need to ask for..."

Qin Changqing smiled and said, "We're considered family now. Just tell me, as long as I can help, I won't refuse."

Qin Rongrong's eyes brightened, and she looked around before saying, "It's not convenient to talk here."

Qin Changqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Follow me."

The two entered a side room, and just as Qin Changqing was about to speak, a round object was suddenly flicked into his mouth. Instinctively, he swallowed it down his throat.
