Chapter 4: Surprise! Grade-1 Alchemy!
Chapter 4: Surprise! Grade-1 Alchemy!
Ye Residence, Moon Court.
The family of three sat in the courtyard. The woman played with the child while the man looked at the woman. The atmosphere was very cozy.
"It's been hard on you these past few days."
Ye Xuan reached out and hugged Luo Xin's slender waist, his eyes full of tenderness.
Over the past few days, he had been busy taking care of his concubines and had neglected Luo Xin.
"Husband, what are you talking about~" She looked at Ye Xuan with slight resentment and then said with a smile, "It's normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. The fact that Husband has taken in 20 concubines all at once means that the Ye Family will be extremely prosperous in the future. This should be a joyous occasion~"
"Hahaha!"
"I'm sorry. I misunderstood you."
"But don't worry, no matter how many concubines I have, you will always be my first wife."
Ye Xuan laughed and reached out to pull Luo Xin and the child into his arms.
If he had such a wife in his previous life, he would definitely be content.
However, this was the immortal cultivation world, and he even had a system.
He wanted love too. He also wanted the Great Dao of Longevity.
At the very least, he could not embarrass the vast number of transmigrators.
…
Time passed like a white steed passing through a crack.
Ye Xuan's 20 concubines began to give birth one after another.
Perhaps it was because of the resonance, all the concubines gave birth on the same day.
Fortunately, the Ye Family was rich and had hired nearly 50 experienced midwives and a large number of maids to wait on the side to ensure the safe birth of the children.
…
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 year of lifespan and 1 year of cultivation.]
[Ding…]
[Ding…]
System notifications and rewards kept hitting Ye Xuan's mind.
The birth of each child represented a further step in the development of the Longevity Family Clan. Ye Xuan could obtain a large amount of cultivation and comprehension.
Of course, there was also the pleasure of increased lifespan. He felt that his entire body was filled with inexhaustible strength and that he was 18 years old again!
Suddenly, a special notification flashed across Ye Xuan's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 year of lifespan and 1 year of cultivation. Extra Critical Hit Reward: Grade-1 Alchemy]
"Extra Critical Hit!"
"Is there really such a thing?!"
Seeing that it was really a critical hit, Ye Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Along with this notification, countless streams of strange information surged madly into Ye Xuan's mind like a flood.
"Damn!"
"So much!"
"I'm going to explode!"
"System, you bastard!"
In the room, Ye Xuan hurriedly covered his head, feeling a splitting headache.
His cultivation was not very strong, and naturally, his spiritual strength was not that strong either.
Now that there was a sudden influx of such a vast ocean of alchemy information, his brain almost exploded!
Alchemists, blacksmiths, talisman masters, and so on were all extremely rare professions. There were very few of them.
At this moment, Ye Xuan finally understood why these professions were so rare.
Even the lowest Grade-1 alchemist needed to master such vast knowledge.
If one was not gifted, one would not have had so much energy to learn this knowledge.
…
Huff! Huff!
A long time later, Ye Xuan was drenched in sweat and completely exhausted.
This was only because of his cultivation level. If an ordinary person were to receive so much information at once, he might really become an idiot.
However, although it was a little painful, after mastering Grade-1 alchemy, he was now a Grade-1 alchemist!
A Grade-1 alchemist had an extremely high status in the eyes of Qi Refinement Stage cultivators.
Even a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator had to show some respect to a Grade-1 alchemist. After all, who could guarantee that the other party would not become a Grade-2 alchemist or even higher in the future?
An alchemist was the number one friend of almost all cultivators. If they could avoid offending them, they should make every effort to make friends with them. This was the consensus among all the cultivators.
As he happened to have taken in so many concubines, Ye Xuan planned to refine some Beauty Retaining Pills as a reward for giving birth to his children.
This time, the system gave him a total of more than 20 years of rewards.
If those Ten Thousand Flower Sect disciples had that much cultivation, they could advance by at least four to five small levels.
However, his spiritual root was too useless, and his aptitude was not good either. With the addition of 20 years of cultivation, his cultivation had only reached the intermediate stage of Level 2 of the Qi Refinement Stage.
…
After quickly changing into a new set of clothes, Ye Xuan arrived outside the delivery room.
"The Family Head is here!"
"Greetings, Family Head!"
"Greetings, Family Head!"
A group of male upper echelons of the family clan stood outside the delivery room. When they saw Ye Xuan coming over, they hurriedly bowed.
Creak!
At this moment, the door opened.
The sound of babies crying surged out of the room like a tsunami.
A few midwives came out.
A very old midwife came to Ye Xuan and bowed slightly. Then, she smiled and said, "Congratulations, Family Head Ye. The children have all been delivered successfully. The mothers and children are safe."
"Phew~"
"That's good!"
"You guys have worked hard. There will be many benefits after this."
Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.
"No trouble, no trouble at all~" The old midwife quickly waved her hand. Then, she changed the topic and chuckled. "However, the Ye Family Head is really lucky. There are a total of 20 children, and there are actually 19 boys! It's really an eye-opener for this old woman!"
The midwife smiled brightly and looked at Ye Xuan as if she was looking at a rare treasure.
She had been a midwife for more than fifty years and had never seen such a situation.
She was really curious. How did Ye Xuan do it?
Could he be an immortal?
"What!?"
"Is there such a thing?"
"The Family Head actually has such extraordinary abilities?!"
When the upper echelons of the Ye Family outside heard this, they were all shocked and looked at Ye Xuan as if they were looking at a monster.
20 children, 19 boys!
In this immortal cultivation world, the more males a clan had, the more prosperous the family clan would be and the more promising their future would be.
Ye Xuan's ratio of making male babies was simply appalling. Even the men who grew up being supported by an immortal did not have such good fortune!
Not just the other upper echelons in the family clan, even Ye Xuan did not expect it.
"System, what's going on?"
Ye Xuan did not find out the problem with himself first. Instead, he asked the system directly.
Damn it.
He did not believe that his luck was that good!
Almost every shot was a male child. This was impossible!
[In view of the host's weak strength, the system has made slight adjustments to the host's body.]
The system openly admitted it.
"As expected!"
Ye Xuan was also relieved to see the system admit it.
As long as it was controllable, it was fine.
He did not have any intention of favoring boys over girls. It did not matter if it was a boy or a girl.
However, if he kept giving birth to boys or girls, he would probably question life as well.
…
Ye Xuan checked the physical condition of his wives, concubines, and children. After finding that they were all fine, he left.
Then, Ye Xuan ordered people to buy all kinds of medicinal herbs for refining medicinal pills from the market.
Medicinal herbs were easy to find, but pill formulas were hard to find.
Fortunately, the system was still powerful. In the Grade-1 alchemy information it had instilled into him, there were many basic alchemy prescriptions, saving him a lot of trouble.
Although these basic pill formulas were not very valuable, they still required quite a few spirit stones to purchase.
He was penniless now. He could not possibly go to Gu Qingyao for help just a year after leaving the mountain. That would be embarrassing…
He had to at least reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. When he returned to the Ten Thousand Flower Sect again, he would be able to give his Master a surprise.
