Cultivation: Starting with a Dual Cultivation Technique at the Immortal Rank

45: Chapter 45 Golden Core Stage PuppetThe joy of Su Yanran’s devotion had not yet dissipated when, in the following days, Yifei Peak was further flooded by a series of great news.

First was Liu Ruyan, who, under Li Yifei’s meticulous care, successfully gave birth to a baby girl one early morning.

When the child was born, although there were no heaven and earth phenomena, the System’s notification rang in Li Yifei’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations Host! Your fifth scion, a Pseudo Spirit Root Cultivator, has been successfully born!]

[Scion birth reward settlement in progress...]

[Reward 1: One Second-Order Top Grade Spiritual Artifact ‘Flowing Cloud Shuttle’! This flying boat consumes a lot, is extremely fast, and is suitable for escaping!]

[Reward 2: One bottle of Second-Order Perfect ‘Foundation Consolidating Pill’! The best auxiliary Medicinal Pill for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation; using it can greatly increase the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation speed!]

[Reward 3: Second-Order High Grade combat Puppet — ‘golden armored guard’! This Puppet is driven by Spirit Stones, possesses combat power comparable to a Mid Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, has strong defense, is tireless, and is absolutely loyal!]

Another Foundation Establishment Puppet! Although it was only Mid Foundation Establishment Stage, with three Mid Foundation Establishment Stage Puppets in hand, it was enough to form a force that could not be underestimated at a critical moment!

Liu Ruyan lay in the soft cloud-silk brocade quilt, with fine beads of sweat still on her forehead. She watched Li Yifei pacing back and forth holding the newborn daughter and couldn’t help but puff out her cheeks.

“Husband, won’t you even look at me?”

Li Yifei stopped his steps upon hearing this, bowed his head close to Liu Ruyan, and gently pinched the tip of her nose.

This little girl just finished giving birth, yet her energy was quite vigorous.

“What, are you jealous of your own daughter?”

Liu Ruyan reached out and grabbed Li Yifei’s sleeve, rubbing against his arm like a spoiled kitten.

“I just want Husband to spend more time with me.”

He gently placed the daughter back by Liu Ruyan’s side and sat by the bedside himself, holding her hand.

“Alright, alright, whatever you say. How do you want me to accompany you?”

Liu Ruyan’s eyes lit up and she immediately moved to the inner side of the bed, patting the empty space.

“Husband, lie here!”

Li Yifei laughed and shook his head; this girl really couldn’t bear to be away from him for even a moment.

He lay down as requested, and Liu Ruyan immediately wrapped around him like an octopus, burying her face in his chest and letting out a satisfied sigh.

“This is the best.”

Li Yifei gently stroked her hair, his gaze falling on his daughter’s quiet little face, and said warmly, “Ruyan, you are the child’s mother, give her a name.”

“According to our Li Family’s rules, the girls of this generation belong to the Nian generation.”

Liu Ruyan tilted her head and thought, her eyes shining. “I hope she can be safe and happy in the future, free and worry-free, just like the clouds in the sky. Let’s call her ‘Li Nianyun’, okay Husband?”

“Li Nianyun... Good, let’s call her Nianyun. May my daughter’s life be like clouds unfurling, free and peaceful.” Li Yifei nodded, very satisfied with this name.

Just one day later in the middle of the night, the winds and clouds above Yifei Peak shifted slightly.

Luo Lingxi was in labor!

When a loud cry pierced the night sky, the System notification followed.

[Ding! Detected that the Host’s sixth scion has been successfully born!]

[Scion Spiritual Root: Three-Attribute True Spirit Root!]

[Scion birth reward settlement in progress...]

[Reward 1: Third-Order High Grade Magic Treasure — ‘Mystic Heaven Treasure Armor’! A defensive-type Magic Treasure with extremely strong defensive power, difficult to break within the Golden Core Stage!]

[Reward 2: Third-Order High Grade Magic Treasure — ‘Purple Lightning Frost Sword’! A Flying Sword type Magic Treasure; the sword strike carries the intent of purple lightning and clear frost, incomparably sharp and with amazing speed!]

[Reward 3: One Third-Order Early Grade Perfect Medicinal Pill — ‘golden origin pill’! This pill is a supreme medicine for breaking through the Golden Core Stage Bottleneck; its medicinal properties are mild and can significantly increase the success rate of Core Formation!]

[Reward 4: One Third-Order Elementary Puppet General — ‘Purple Gold Wolf King’! A wolf-shaped combat Puppet, comparable to Early Golden Core Stage combat power, swift and fierce!]

A Golden Core Stage Puppet!

Li Yifei’s breath hitched! This was the Golden Core Stage!

In the entire Qingyun Sect, there were only a few Golden Core Old Ancestors on the surface! This Puppet was currently the strongest and hardest trump card in his hand!

And that ‘golden origin pill’ made his breathing even more rapid. This pill was a supreme medicine for breaking through the Golden Core Stage Bottleneck; its value simply could not be measured with Spirit Stones!

As for those two Magic Treasures, since they required a Golden Core Stage cultivation base to activate, Li Yifei couldn’t use them for now, so he put them away properly first.

He walked quickly into the delivery room, looking at the spiritual and carved like pink jade baby girl held in the maid’s arms, as well as the exhausted Luo Lingxi. He leaned down and gave a deep kiss on Luo Lingxi’s forehead: “Lingxi, you have performed a great service for our Family!”

He took the daughter, looking at her lovingly, and said to Luo Lingxi: “Lingxi, this child has an inner spiritual light; one can tell at a glance she is extraordinary. You are her mother, so you shall name her, according to the Nian generation.”

Luo Lingxi looked at her daughter, her eyes full of motherly love, and after a moment’s thought, she said softly: “Husband, she was born in the middle of the night, yet spiritual light manifested itself, like a pearl in the dark night, the hope of the morning dawn.”

“I hope her Dao Heart is clear and she is spiritual and intelligent, so let’s call her Li Niancheng, okay?”

“Li Niancheng... A clear heart and enlightened nature, naturally spiritual! Good, excellent!” Li Yifei laughed loudly, highly praising the meaning of this name.

Blessings do not come in pairs, and misfortunes do not come alone. But for Li Yifei, it was a succession of good fortune.

The afternoon following Luo Lingxi’s delivery, Han Yueling also showed signs. Also a True Spirit Root, she successfully gave birth to a baby boy.

[Ding! Detected that the Host’s seventh scion has been successfully born!]

[Scion Spiritual Root: Three-Attribute True Spirit Root!]

[Scion birth reward settlement in progress...]

[Reward 1: Third-Order High Grade Magic Treasure — ‘Nine Flames Heaven-Burning Furnace’! An all-in-one offensive and defensive Magic Treasure that can trap enemies or spit out nine types of spiritual flames against them!]

[Reward 2: Third-Order High Grade Magic Robe — ‘Star River Phantom Robe’! Containing the power of the stars, it not only has excellent defense but can also distort light and shadow to a certain extent, confusing spiritual sense!]

[Reward 3: One Third-Order Peak Bloodline — ‘Treasure-Seeking Rat cub’! Even as a cub, it is comparable to the Early Foundation Establishment Stage and has an extraordinary ability to sense Heaven And Earth Treasures!]

[Reward 4: One set of Third-Order Top Grade Spirit Gathering Formation Plate — ‘Heavenly Cycle Spirit Gathering Formation’! Once set up, it can continuously gather Spiritual Qi from a hundred-mile radius, greatly improving the cultivation environment!]

Another two high-level Magic Treasures that couldn’t be used for now, but that set of Third-Order Top Grade Spirit Gathering Formation Plate made Li Yifei overjoyed!

The previous Spirit Gathering Formation on Yifei Peak was only Second-Order.

Once replaced with this set of Third-Order Top Grade Formation Plate, the Spiritual Qi concentration of Yifei Peak could at least double again!

By then, this place would become the premier cultivation paradise in the entire Qingyun Sect and even the surrounding regions!

And that Treasure-Seeking Rat cub was even more of an unexpected joy. This kind of Heaven and Earth spiritual creature had a natural sense for various Heaven And Earth Treasures and was a supreme Sharp Weapon for opening up financial sources and finding opportunities!

Li Yifei immediately released it; the little fellow was golden all over and only the size of a palm, its rolling black eyes full of spirituality as it rubbed against Li Yifei’s finger without any fear of strangers.

“In the future, you can keep the Fierce Wind Eagle company.” Li Yifei smiled and put it into his Spirit Beast bag, preparing to find a place to raise it together with that eagle cub which was also at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage.

Fortunately, they were both Spirit Beasts rather than Yao Beasts.

Their intelligence was quite high; with a little instruction, they presumably would not fight.

In just a few days, three Dao Companions gave birth to scions, giving him three Puppet combat forces above the Foundation Establishment Stage out of thin air, a top-tier Spirit Gathering Formation enough to change the Family’s Foundation, a key leading to the Golden Core Great Dao, and a future treasure-hunting expert!

Li Yifei came to Han Yueling’s room, looking at the baby boy sleeping in her arms and the gentle smile on her face, a warm current surging in his heart.

He sat by the bed and held her hand, tucking the sweat-dampened hair at her temples behind her ear, and said softly: “Yueling, it has been hard on you too. Look, this is our son; he will surely be as resilient and excellent as you in the future.”

He looked at his sturdy-looking son and laughed: “Yueling, this is our child; according to the genealogy, he belongs to the Cheng generation. What do you hope for his future?”

Han Yueling looked at the child tenderly and said softly: “Husband, I do not ask that he must have world-shaking achievements in the future, I only wish for his heart to uphold the Righteous Path, his body to carry good fortune, and for his life to be stable and smooth. Let’s call him Li Cheng’an, okay?”

“Cheng’an... Inheriting peace and happiness, a good name! Then he shall be called Li Cheng’an!” Li Yifei nodded heavily, highly agreeing with this name that entrusted the wish for peace.
