Marry a Wife for Longevity, I Will Establish a Family of Immortals

196: She and her late husband had no children.Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.

During this period, Su Yuan focused all his efforts on nurturing Li Suyi, guiding her in her Cultivation.

Unfortunately, her body was relatively weak, and her foundation was insufficient, so it would still take some time for her to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

Su Yuan had no choice but to use Spiritual Milk to try and improve her Cultivation.

However, this progress was too slow.

He knew that to improve one’s Cultivation, one still needed to undergo tempering.

Only in urgent circumstances, only when facing danger, could the vast True Qi in the Dantian become more solid.

But thinking about it, Su Yuan was reluctant to let Li Suyi go out for trials.

After all, she wasn’t suited for combat.

They could only take it slow.

During this time, besides spending time with his children, Su Yuan continued his daily Cultivation as usual.

It was just strange that Wei Shiyun and the others didn’t want to have children and dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to Cultivation.

Su Yuan didn’t say much about this, only respecting his wife’s choice.

Thinking about it, if they continued to have children, it would affect their Cultivation and make it difficult to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Stage.

The golden period for Qi Refinement Stage was to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Stage before the age of fifty.

Otherwise, Foundation Establishment would be hopeless, which would be detrimental to his wives.

”Yi’er!”

”Have you sensed the Spiritual Qi yet?”

Su Yuan entered the room and saw Zhou Yi sitting cross-legged on the ground, a look of concern on his face.

Last month, he had spent five thousand Reputation Points to plant a Spiritual Root for her, granting her the qualification to Cultivate.

However, during this time, she had been unable to sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

He initially thought it was because the Spiritual Root had just been planted and would take some time to sense it.

After all, he hadn’t purchased a Magical Artifact to test Spiritual Roots.

He could only wait patiently.

But after such a long time, she still hadn’t sensed the Spiritual Qi, and he couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

He even suspected that the planting had failed.

”Husband!”

”I, I’m really useless!”

Zhou Yi stood up, her face filled with self-reproach, and lowered her head in silence.

”......” Su Yuan didn’t speak, walking forward to comfort her:

”No rush!”

”Even for a Single Spiritual Root, it takes a month to sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!”

”Just like when I, your husband, first stepped onto the path of Cultivation!”

”It took several months just to guide Qi into the body, let alone Cultivation!”

”Really?” Zhou Yi was a little disbelieving:

”But I heard Shiyun say that she only took three days to sense the Spiritual Qi!”

”......” Su Yuan’s mouth twitched:

”She’s different; she was born into a Cultivation Family and even had a Cultivation Dao!”

”We live in seclusion in this small town, where the Spiritual Qi is thin, so it’s perfectly normal not to sense it!”

”How about this!” Su Yuan pondered for a moment, then said seriously:

”Tomorrow, we’ll go to Wangshu City!”

”The Spiritual Qi in that city is abundant; let’s see if you can guide Qi into your body there!”

”As long as you can guide Qi into your body, you can Cultivate the Qi Nurturing Art and absorb the Spiritual Qi from Spirit Stones for Cultivation!”

”Then there won’t be any problems!”

”Oh!” Zhou Yi nodded slightly, a smile gracing her lips:

”It’s all up to Husband!”

”By the way, Sister Honglian still hasn’t shown any signs of pregnancy after all this time. What’s going on?”

”......” Su Yuan spread his hands, his face showing helplessness:

”I don’t know either!”

”Maybe......”

Su Yuan didn’t say much.

In fact, he could pretty much guess it; after so much ’sowing,’ there were no signs of sprouting, no movement at all.

This was clearly unreasonable.

Moreover, she hadn’t had children with her deceased husband either.

Then there was only one possibility: it was likely due to a physical reason or some injury.

Su Yuan also felt awkward asking about this topic.

After all, he already had so many children and didn’t lack this one from Honglian.

”I think we should still go and check it out!”

”This......” Su Yuan’s eyes widened, his expression serious:

”Do you mean go see a physician?”

”But I don’t know if Honglian would be willing to go!”

”Her mood has also been quite irritable lately......”

”Oh!” Zhou Yi nodded, pursing her lips and saying no more.

As a Mortal, even as Su Yuan’s first wife, she didn’t dare to inquire too much.

She maintained a sense of awe towards Honglian, who was a concubine.

After all, she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

She didn’t dare to overstep.

Foundation Establishment Stage, this was already beyond the realm of Mortals, becoming a true Dao Cultivator.

Far from what Qi Refining Cultivators could understand.

Moreover, they had already discussed it: once they Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Stage, they would no longer be ranked by marriage order but by strength.

The stronger ones would be called ’Elder Sister.’

The weaker ones would be called ’Younger Sister.’

This also seemed much fairer.

”Fellow Daoist Su!”

”This is a new batch of Spiritual Tea that the Zhou Family has received!”

”I brought it for you to try.”

Just then, Zhou Qing’s figure appeared outside the courtyard, a smile on his face as he walked in.

”Is that so!”

Seeing this, Su Yuan walked out of the room and invited Zhou Qing to sit down.

These days, the other party seemed intent on befriending him, often using the excuse of gifting presents to visit his small courtyard for chats.

Su Yuan didn’t refuse this.

After all, Zhou Qing was an Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator and also an Elder of the Zhou Family; their conversations were also helpful for their Cultivation.

The two of them also shared some common topics.

”Daoist Zhou!”

”What kind of tea is this?”

”Hehe!” Zhou Qing’s face held a hint of mystery:

”This is a Spiritual Tea transported from Qin Country, Golden Leaf Spiritual Tea!”

”Oh!” Su Yuan nodded slightly, took the Spiritual Tea, examined it, and then put it into the teapot:

”It seems your Zhou Family has vast Divine Abilities!”

”You can even obtain resources from Qin Country!”

”What are you saying......” Zhou Qing shook his head and smiled:

”Actually, the Zhou Family has also been in great difficulty recently; the Spiritual Mines are almost depleted, and we’re preparing to go north to open up new lands, searching for Spiritual Mines, herbs......”

”Perhaps in a while, I’ll also have to go out and open up new lands!”

”I won’t have time to come over and drink tea with Fellow Daoist Su!”

”Is that so!” Su Yuan shook his head and smiled, pouring a pot of tea.

He naturally knew that the Zhou Family was a Cultivation Family founded by one of their ancestors, Zhou Qin.

It had a history of several hundred years by now.

During this period, it had risen and fallen, but never had significant development.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to start a business, but hard to maintain it.

These years, the Zhou Family hadn’t produced any outstanding clan members, with a lack of new talent. Even the nearby mineral resources had been exhausted, and they still needed to go north to open up new lands.

Otherwise, the Zhou Family’s development would come to an end.

”Alas!”

”Resources, this is indeed a headache!”

”Look at the wars between two countries, what are they for? Isn’t it just to compete for resources?!”

Just then, Zhou Qing’s tone changed, his face becoming serious:

”Brother Su, the world is in chaos, and Wei Country is not peaceful either.”

”Especially the Blood Fiend Sect, this demonic cult, has been causing trouble frequently recently!”

”They even allied with the Tianmo Sect to attack the Tianxuan Sect!”

”It seems that our small border town is still safer!”
